Definitions

  • This invention relates to articles of furniture capable of being taken to pieces, that is, articles of furniture that can be easily taken apart and put together again, and more especially to such articles designed for use as bookstands and the like.
  • an article of furniture is composed of a superimposed stack or plurality of similar tiers of elements, it being possible to couple more than one such stack side by side, and the elements in each pair of adjacent tiers being assembled by vertical pins extending through holes provided in advance for the purpose, said pins rigidly interconnecting both the horizontal and the vertical elements of the assembly.
  • the juxtaposed stacks are also interconnected using the selfsame pins, which are adapted to engage hooks provided therefor and projecting from the horizontal elements.
  • Figure 1 is a separate perspective view of the constituent elements of the article of furniture
  • Figure 2 illustrates in perspective an assembled article of furniture comprising a single unit or stack of elements
  • Figure 3 is a separate view of an additional member
  • Figure 4 illustrates an assembled article comprising three stacks of elements
  • Figure 5 is a perspective side view partly broken away and illustrating the manner in which units or stacks of elements are interassembled
  • Figure 6 is a perspective front View, partially in section, of a coupling between two adjacent units
  • Figure 7 is a plan View, partly in cross section, of two units coupled in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 8 shows a detail of the assembly
  • Figure 9 is a cross-section of an enlarging cleat.
  • the base frame element S (Fig. 1) has vertical bores l formed along its smaller sides, as shown.
  • the rearward larger side may similarly be formed with holes (not shown)
  • the shelf elements T are rectangular elements formed with holes 2.
  • the uprights M are rectangular elements formed with holes 3 so located as to register with the holes in the base frame and shelf elements on assembly of the unit. Moreover the uprights are formed with vertically-extending grooves into which the edges of the rear elements F are adapted to fit on assembly.
  • the pins B are inserted into the holes in the base frame I.
  • a horizontal shelf element T is then placed above the base with its holes 2 in engagement with the pins B already in position.
  • the side uprights M are put into place along the smaller sides of the shelf, and the holes in said uprights are fitted over the tops of the projecting pins.
  • a rear-Wall element F is fitted into engagement with the grooves 4 of the uprights.
  • the tiers may differ from one another in depth.
  • Front walls or closure panels may be provided for the shelves, in the form of sliding double panes of glass for example.
  • the shelf elements T would be formed with grooves in Which the panes would be slidably fitted.
  • the shelves may further be subdivided by means of intermediate shelf elements T (Fig. 3) comprising a horizontal portion with two upright sides 6, adapted to be inserted into the space defined between adjacent shelves.
  • Fig. 2 comprises only a single vertical stack of shelves. However two or more such stacks may be juxtaposed side by side, and Fig. 4 illustrates by way of example an article including three juxtaposed units or stacks. It is obvious that the shelves may vary in height both in any stack and from one stack to another.
  • the juxtaposed stacks of elements are interconnected in the manner shown in Figures 5 to 8. A shown,
  • the horizontal shelf elements T or at least some of these element are provided with a rabbet 1, extending over the full or part of the length of their smaller sides.
  • Flat steel strips K (Fig. 8) formed as hooks at the projecting end thereof ar inserted in the rabbets, and secured therein as with a screw 8.
  • said dowel pin horizontal shelving in the second section in alignment with said first mentioned horizontal shelving, a second recess in the edge of said second mentioned shelving in alignment with said first mentioned recess, a hook member secured in said second recess and extending into said first mentioned recess with its hook portion around said dowel pin.
  • a knock down bookcase assembly comprising adjoining sections each having a series of vertically spaced shelves in alignment with the shelves in adjacent sections, the provision of a single vertical partitioning wall between each two adjoining sections, said wall comprising a series of verticallyaligned side panels each in turn supporting and supported by the end portions of the series of shelves in one of said adjoining sections, dowel pins interconnecting the end portion of eachshelf and it associated wall panels, recesses in a face of the end portion of each of the shelves extending around and exposing portions of said dowel pins, recesses in a face of each of said shelves in the other. of said adjoining sections in alignment with said first mentionedrecesses and connecting members secured in said second mentioned recesses, aid connecting members extending into said firstmentioned recesses, and comprising hook portions for engagement around the exposed portions of said dowelpins.
