Definitions

  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a cabinet, constructed according to the invention, certain parts being cut away.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view through a portion of the cabinet in a plane parallelling the door-side of the cabinet.
  • the cabinet comprises a door H], a top member l2, three side members I 4 and a bottom member (not The top member [2 and the bottom members i6 of which may be rigidly interconnected at the corners in any known manner.
  • the wood fibre of the various frame members extend in the ordinary manner in the longitudinal direction thereof. Rigidly connected with the frame members is a covering board l8, which may be composed of a number of veneer layers.
  • the side members l4 each consist of a square frame of frame members 20 and a covering board 2 I.
  • the cabinet is delivered from the factory with the abovementioned door, top member, bottom member and. side members in a completely finished but non-assembled state. Since they'are substantially plane and of little thickness, the entire article of furniture calls for considerably less space than if it were erected in the ordinary manner.
  • This means consists of an elongated locking bar 22, which is adapted to bear closely against surfaces 24,25 of the'fra-memembers i6 and 2
  • the bars 22 are connected with the frame members of :they top member and of the bottom member, respectively, by means of screw bonds 28.
  • the bar 22 may be provided with a projection 38 laterally of the contact surface 26, said projection fitting accurately into argroovein v the frame. members '20 of the side members ll.
  • the frame members iii are each formed with a groove 32, the inner side wall of which is flush with the contact surface 26, and the outer side wall of which is formed by aprojection 36 which doe znot reach asv far as to a' plane coinciding with the surface 24.
  • the frame members 20 are shaped correspondingly, the same fitting into the grooves 32 with projections 38, while the covering boards 2l extend for a distance over the lateral surface of the frame member 15.
  • the side members M will thus form grooves 39 adapted to receive the projections 36 of the frame members l6.
  • the joining device renders the cabinet perfectly rigid.
  • the projections 30 and 36, 38, respectively prevent relative movement between the top and side members in planes parallelling the faces of the cabinet.
  • the cabinet becomes perfectly stable. inthe diagonal direction, the great surfaces24, 26 of the bars 22, bearing on theframe members [6, 20 cooperating in solving this problem.
  • a diagonal 'pressure in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 2 such pressure will be taken up at the surfaces 24, 26 by the bar between the top andside members situated right opposite the bar 22 shown in the figure as well as by the bar situated at the bottom member right beneath the bar shown.
  • the erection of the members may take place without any skilled labour being re- .oplanetaryd.
  • the bars 22 are concealed within the cabinet, 'and no joint will be visible in members with untreated external surfaces. A constant intimate contact is ensured between the surfaces 24, 26 of the bars and the respective frame members by the fact that the frames cannot swell and shrink to any appreciable extent under the influence of moisture, inasmuch as the fibres of the frame members always extend in the longitudinal direction.
  • the only transverse wood material having an effect .on 'the contact in consideration is located between the screw bonds 28 and the surface 26.
  • the width of this wood material .is an insignificant fraction, however, of the whole Width of the square frame. In this case, arsufiiciently stable article, of furniture is obtained by arranging bars 22 along theframemembers between the side members and the top member and the bottom member except on the door side.
  • the cabinet according to Figs. 1 and .2 is provided with a number of drawers 40. These drawers are inserted into grooves 42 in rails 44.
  • the rails 44 "enter in turn into the end portions of grooves 46 on the insides of the vertical frame "members 20.
  • the rails 44 may loosely engage the grooves 46, the :drawers '43 then serving to retain the rails in their proper position. No special operations will be required for this in the assembling of the cabinet.
  • The-bar 22 which extends along thewhole or the major length of two furniture members to be interconnected, maybe divided into two or more I'elements. :Inplace of screw bonds, it is possible in certain cases'to make use ofnail bonds, even if the :formerare :to be preferred.
  • the bar'22 may 7 be glued to the frame member 20, the projection fiwbeing then omitted,'if desired.
