- ABSTRACT Plastic box furniture is made up of at least one rectangular box member open on at least one side.
- the box member is constructed of individual side panels fitted together along adjoining edges and secured together around the periphery of the open side by a frame.
- the side panels are made of a hollow construction, formed by a pair of spaced wall members joined together along their edges to provide ribs or grooves for interconnecting the panels.
- Each of the panels can be provided with openings to receive boltlike members for securing separate box members together in a furniture arrangement.
- the box member can be arranged to receive a drawer inserted through its open side, or the open side can be closed by a door or a cover.
- the invention is directed to plastic box furniture and, more particularly, it concerns such box furniture consisting of at least one rectangular box member open on at least one side and each of the closed sides of the box member is formed of panels interconnected together along adjoining edges. Further, a frame defines the periphery of the open side of the box member and is arranged to receive the edges of the panels extending about the open side of the box member.
- the open side of the box member can be closed by a door or a drawer can be inserted into the box member through its open side. Individual box members can be connected together to form a furniture arrangement.
- Box furniture has become increasingly more popular in recent years and it is characterized by the many combinations in which its elements can be assembled together. It is not necessary that each element of a box furniture arrangement be in the form of a complete box open at only one side. Individual elements or box members can be used without a rear wall that is opposite its open side, for example, it might have the shape of a rectangular hollow prism. Further, the individual box members which make up box furniture need not be of the samesize, preferably, box furniture may be constructed by interconnecting different sized box members with accessory elements such as desk tops and the like.
- a box member construction which is very strong and is characterized by the securement within a frame of the edges of the individual elements which form the open side of the box member.
- a frame an especially stiffened construction is provided for the box member.
- no joints are visible about the open side of the box, that is the side normally facing a viewer and, as a result, dirt or other materials cannot collect in such joints.
- the frame may be made of a plastic material, it is also possible, if increased strength is required, to make the frame from metal.
- Box furniture formed in accordance with the invention may be made either from thermoplastic or thermosetting materials. The selection of the material depends upon the specific requirements of the application to be made of the box member. If a metal frame is used it may be advantageous to produce it as a die casting. However, the frame can also be welded in the form of a drawn shape.
- Various arrangements can be used for interconnecting the panels which form the sides of the box member adjacent its open side.
- ribs or protrusions from one panel can be fitted into depressions or grooves formed in the adjacent panel.
- the frame defining the periphery of the open side of the box member can be secured to the side panels by means of a suitable adhesive.
- a suitable adhesive it is also possible to form sawtooth-like detents on the inside of the frame and on the edge portions of the panels which fit into the frame for securing them together. With this arrangement the frame and the panels can be pushed into one another, however, the detents will prevent them from being pulled apart.
- Such sawtooth-like connectors are commonly used in the plastics industry. While gluing the individual parts together is recommended for mass production, where the box furniture is shipped in a knocked-down condition, the detent arrangement for assembly is more suitable since it does not require any great degree of technical skill on the part of the assembler.
- the frame has an angular transverse cross sectional shape with one angularly disposed surface of the shape located in the plane of the open side of the box and another angularly disposed surface extending from the outer edge of the one angular surface toward the side of the box opposite the open side.
- the angular surfaces are disposed perpendicularly to one another.
- a third angular surface is provided so that two of the angular surfaces are disposed in parallel relationship and form the opposite sides of a groove into which the edges of the box member elements fit.
- This construction is particularly effective in stiffening the rim of the box member about its open side and an especially intimate connection is provided between the frame and the other elements which form the box member.
- the frame In the construction of the box member described above it is possible for the frame to extend laterally outwardly from the panels or elements forming the sides of the box member. However, it is preferable, to provide ribs on the edges of the panels extending about the open side of the box member so that the ribs fit within the frame. In this arrangement it is possible for the inner and outer surfaces of the frame to be recessed relative to the corresponding inner and outer surfaces of the panels forming the box member.
- the ribs on the panels extending about the open side of the box member to be continuous so that the ribs completely fill the groove formed by the frame and improve the strength of both the frame and the panels.
- the panels which make up the side of the box member adjacent its open side are composed of two spaced wall sections interconnected about their edges to form a hollow panel.
- the panel forming the side of the box opposite its open side may be formed of a single wall section or of a pair of wall sections joined to form a hollow panel.
- the rib along the edge of the panel bordering its open side is formed by the edges of the two wall sections forming the hollow panel.
- the frame also secures the two wall sections together in the event they are not otherwise glued or interconnected.
- the wall sections form a hollow panel it is advantageous to form the rib which fits into the frame by two parallel flanges each extending along one edge of the wall sections.
- the rib formed along the edge of the hollow panel prefferably be spaced both from its inner and outer surfaces so that considerable leeway is afforded in the selection of the shape of the frame used about the open side of the box member.
- the outer surface of the frame is flush with the surface of the panels forming the outer surfaces of the box member, since this arrangement provides a smooth outside surface and facilitates the assembly of a multiple number of box members into a furniture unit. If the box members are to be assembled with the individual members placed one on top of the other with their open sides directed upwardly, it is advantageous for the inner surface of the frame to be recessed outwardly relative to the inside surface of the box member with the panel of-the box member opposite the open side being similarly recessed about its edge to provide a nested construction. In such an arrangement the rear panel, that is the panel opposite the open side, can be inserted into the opening in the lower box member so that the exterior surfaces and interior surfaces of the box members are aligned in the same planes.
- two or more smaller box members can be positioned in the top of a larger box member so that the exterior surfaces formed by the combination of the smaller box members is flushed with the exterior surface of the lower but larger box member.
- a frame for the edges of the panels opposite the edges which extend about the open side of the box member it is preferable to afford a frame of the same design as the one about the open side. If the box member is closed by a panel at its side opposite the open side, then the frame can be formed about the edge of the panel closing the box member opposite its open side. If the rear side of the box member, that is'the side opposite the open side, is formed by two wall sections into a hollow panel, the frame for the rear side is preferably constructed in one of the wall sections forming the rear wall. However, if the frame portion of the rear wall has a U-shaped configuration, the inner leg of the frame can be formed by the other one of the wall sections. There are a number of different design possibilities for securing the wall sections forming the rear wall together depending upon the manner in which the box member is to be used.
- the requisite connections are made by means of tie rods extending between adjacent panels ofa pair of box members.
- the tie rods may be made of plastic or, if greater strength is required, of metal. If the tie rods are made of metal for absorbing and exerting greater forces, it is necessary to pay more attention to the problem of the distribution of the forces. This force distribution problem can be solved by appropriately strengthening the box parts, such as the wall sections of the panels in which the tie rods are positioned.
- the panels through which the tie rods pass are formed of separate wall sections then it is preferable to employ tubular sections bridging the interior space between the wall sections, with the tubular sections attached to at least one of the wall sections.
- tubular sections are injection molded to the respective wall sections of the hollow panel.
- tubular sections When a tubular section is attached to each of the wall sections forming a hollow panel, it is preferable for the tubular sections to fit one into the other so that they extend to the interior surface of the oppositely disposed wall section.
- annular collar In order that the outer end of the inner tubular section is supported against the opposite wall section, it is advantageous to provide an annular collar on the interior of the outer tubular piece having an inside diameter which is the same as the inside diameter of the inner tubular section.
- the ribs may be formed on one or both of the separate wall sections of the panel with the ribs on one of the wall sections preferably glued to the other wall section.
- tubular sections are used with the ribbed wall sections it is advantageous to locate the tubular sections at the points where the ribs within the hollow panel intersect.
- the telescopically arranged tubular sections can provide considerable strength and stiffness to'the panel.
- the tubular pieces are inadequate and there are no ribs used, the hollow spaces within the panels can be filled with an appropriate foam material which combines light-weight with great strength.
- the holes through the panels are counterbored cylindrically at the inside surface of the box member to receive the head of the tie rod.
- its head can be positioned flush with the inside surface of the box member and a nut can be screwed to'its other end forming a counterhead.
- plastic frames are used about the open side of the box member they are preferably formed of a unitary construction.
- metal frames are of a one piece construction.
- the connecting points or joint between the frame parts should be spaced as far from the frame comers as possible, that is they should be located approximately at the center of a frame side.

- FIG. 6 is a front perspective view of a writing desk assembled from box members constructed in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a shelf unit with a walk-through passage assembled from box members constructed in accordance with the present invention.
- a box member 1 is formed ofa pair of oppositely spaced first panels 2,3 and a pair of oppositely spaced second panels 4 and 5 forming a rectangularly shaped interior of the box member. As viewed in FIG. 1, the box member 1 is open at its front side and is closed by a rear panel 6 at the side spaced oppositely its open front side. A frame 7 extends about the periphery of the open front side of the box member.
- holes or openings 8 are provided for interconnecting a plurality of the box members.
- the arrangement of the openings 8 will be described later herein.
- the rear panel is also provided with the openings, as indicated in FIG. 1, however, where such openings are used in the rear wall, it is expedient to utilize a double wallhollowlpanel as compared to the panel indicated in FIG. 2.
- the side panels 2-5 of the box member are constructed as hollow wall panels each consisting of a pair of thin wall sections spaced apart except at their periphery at which the edges of the wall sections are connected, such as by gluing.
- the space provided within the hollow panels can be bridged by ribs extending in parallel or in perpendicular relationship.
- the interior of the hollow panels may be filled with a foam material or stiffened in another suitable manner.
- FIG. I the first and second side panels are shown fitted into one another and FIG. 2 indicates the manner in which these panels are constructed to provide such interengagement.
- One of the side panels 2 is shown having ribs 2a extending along the edges thereof which abut the second side panels in the assembled position. These ribs fit into a corresponding groove 5a in the lower second panel 5, as shown in FIG. 2, and into a similarly arranged groove in the upper second panel 4.
- the other first panel 3 has a similar construction at its edges which abut the second panels in the assembled position so that it fits into similar grooves along the opposite edges of the second panels. As shown in FIG.
- the edges of the first and second panels which abut the rear panel 6 in assembled position have longitudinally extending ribs 2b, 4a, 3b, and 50 which fit into a peripherally extending groove 6a in the rear panel 6.
- the cross sectional profile of the rear panel is indicated in dotted lines near its upper end in FIG. 2 and, as compared to the side panels, it can be noted that the panel is not of a hollow construction but is formed as a single wall member.
- the ribs of the side panels are glued into the groove 6a in the rear panel.
- ribs 2c, 4b, 3c, and 5d are provided in a manner similar to the ribs which fit within the groove 6a of the rear panel. These ribs which extend about the open side extend into the groove formed by the U-shaped profile 7a of the frame. As indicated above, it is advantageous to glue the ribs into the groove formed in the frame 7. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the ribs 2c, 4b, 3c, and 5d, form a continuous protrusion about the open side of the box member and completely fill the continuous groove formed in the frame, with the result that a very complete and strong connection is afforded. Accordingly, the completely assembled box member 1 as shown in FIG. 1 does not have any protrusion or depressions formed in its exterior or interior surface due to the manner in which the side panels 2-5 fit within the groove 6a in the rear panel 6 and within the groove formed in the frame 7 disposed about the periphery of the open side.
- FIG. 3 a different arrangement of the box member is illustrated in which each of the panels forming its side and rear surfaces'are constructed of a pair of wall sections forming'a hollow panel. Further, each of the panels is equipped with connecting openings 8.
- the first side panels 10 and 11 are of identical design as are the second side panels l2, l3.
- a hollow rear panel 14 is provided with a frame-like construction extending about its peripheral edge. Extending about the open side of the box member is a frame 15. As is indicated by 'the sections of the side and rear panels in FIG. 3, the
- hollow panels are each provided with ribs which are injection molded with the interior surface of the respective inner wall section when it is being formed. Though it does not appear in the drawing, the connecting openings 8are located atthe points of intersection of the ribs located within the hollow panels.
- a wall section 131; injection molded as a unitary element with the ribs forms the inner part of the panel 13.
- the wall section 13b and its ribs 13c are formed either of a thermoplastic or a thermosetting materiaLT he free ends of the ribs, that is the ends positioned outwardly from the outer surface of the wall section 1312 as it appears in FIG. 3 abut and may be glued to the inwardly facing surface of a wall section 13a which forms the outer part of the hollow panel 13.
- ribs 13c are provided which extend transversely of the ribs 13c.
- a rib 13d is provided formed by flanges located along the corresponding edges of the wall sections 13a and 13b which form the hollow panel.
- ribs are formed along the edges of the side panels 10, 11 and 12 which extend about the open side of the box member and afford a continuous rib extending about the open side which fits into a U-shaped groove in frame 15, and the ribs may be glued within the groove in the frame.
- the outer surface 15a of the frame 15 is flush, that is it is in the same plane with the outer surfaces of the side panels -13.
- the inner surface b of the frame 15 is spaced outwardly relative to the inner surfaces of the panels 10-13 so that an outwardly arranged step is provided, as is best illustrated by the sectioned edges of panels 11 and 13in FIG. 3.
- the inner wall section 13b of the panel 13 has a groove 13g into which a rib 14a fits, which is formed on the inner wall section 14b of the rear panel 14. As with the other ribs, this rib may be glued within the groove 13g.
- the interengaging construction between the edges of the rear panel 14 and the adjoining edges of the side panels 10-13 are similar.
- the rib 14a extends from a flange 140 on the inner wall section 14b of the rear panel 14, and in combination with a flange 13f on the inner wall section 13b and a flange 13:: on the outer wall section 13a provide a multi-part rib enclosed by an exterior leg or surface 14a formed along the edge of the outer wall section 14d of the rear panel so that the edges of the side panels adjoining the rear panel are also contained within a frame-like arrangement.
- the outer edge surface provided by the leg 14a is angularly disposed so that one part of its surface lies in the plane of the outer surface of the wall section 14d while its other angularly disposed surface is in a plane parallel with one of the planes of the exterior surface of the wall sections above the side panels 10-13 but is spaced inwardly from such plane surface.
- the side panels 10-13 are initially assembled together and then the side panels are placed in contact with the inner wall section 14b of the rear panel and then the outer wall section 14d is assembled onto the inner wall section and the side panels and subsequently the front frame 15 is placed onto the adjoining edges of the side panels.
- this order of assembly can be reversed.
- similarly constructed box members can be stacked one into the other with the stepped construction provided by the peripheral edge of the rear panel 14 fitted into the stepped arrangement of the frame 15 which encloses the open side of the box member. When the box members are stacked one on the other their outer surfaces are flush, that is they are in the same plane.
- FIG. 4 another box member is shown which is of a somewhat different design from the members previously described.
- the side panels 20, 21 and 22 which border the open side of the box member, that is' the left hand side as viewed in FIG. 4, are interconnected along their abutting edges as indicated by the sectioned illustration of the interconnection of the side panel 21 with the side panels 20 and 22.
- the edges of the panels 20 to 22 extending about the open side of the box member each has a rib 20a,2la, and 22a formed by the abutting flanges of the inner and outer wall sections which constitute the hollow side panels and which may be secured together by gluing.
- the individual side panels need not be glued to one another. Instead, the side panels are held together by means of a frame 23 having a U-shaped cross section into which the ribs 20a, 21a and 22a extend.
- a plurality of saw-tooth sections 20b, 21b and 22b interengage similarly shaped saw-tooth sections 23a formed on the opposite faces within the groove formed by its U-shaped configuration. Once the frame and the side panels are interengaged, the sawtooth sections interlock so that the different parts of the box member cannot be separated.
- a rear panel 24 is provided with a continuous U -shaped frame-like construction about its peripheral edge in which sawtooth sections similar to those in the frame 23 are formed for interlocking with similarly shaped saw-tooth sections along the adjacent edges of the side panels.
- box member construction illustrated in FIG. 4 is particularly suited for plastic box furniture which is shipped in the knocked-down condition and is assembled by the purchaser.
- a particular advantage of this arrangement is the reduction in the shipping volume of such plastic box furniture, since it is transported in the disassembled condition.
- the rear wall 24 is constructed as a hollow panel formed of an inner and outer wall section joined together about their peripheral edges to form the frame into which the side panels seat.
- FIG. 4a another arrangement of such a rear wall member is provided constructed as a single wall section with its edge deformed to provide a U-shaped frame section 25a which can be interlocked with the walls of the side panels in the same manner as the frame portion of the rear panel 24..
