Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the furnishing sector and, more particularly, to the sector of modular furniture, i.e. that type of furniture which can be divided into several component parts which can be assembled together.
  • the present invention relates to a modular furniture unit which, when it is fully assembled, has a cube-shaped form and may be used as small table, seat, etc., but may also be disassembled into several component parts (maximum of six) which have an identical form and each of which may in turn be used as a stool, small table, support for objects and the like.
  • the modular furniture unit in question is in fact obtained by assembling together a maximum number of six identical elements with a sheet-like structure of constant thickness having a U-shaped cross-section, and said assembly is extremely easy and reliable since it does not require the use of fixing means or accessories and results in the formation of a hollow cube-shaped body which, when there are six of the said elements, is entirely closed on a corresponding number of sides thereof which are absolutely identical to each other.
  • the modular furniture unit according to the invention which is totally novel as far as the inventor is aware, has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and occupies, when assembled, a cube-shaped space which is extremely small, but may be easily divided into six elements, each of which, as already mentioned, may have varying uses. For example, by disassembling the furniture unit, it is possible to obtain six seats or five seats and a small table or support surface.
  • the subject of the present invention therefore consists of a modular furniture unit in accordance with that described in the accompanying Claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one of the six U- shaped elements which form the furniture unit according to the invention
  • - Figure 2 is a perspective view of two elements arranged facing each other with the ends of their flanges facing and in contact with each other;
  • - Figure 3 is a partial perspective view which shows the methods of assembling the six elements which form the said example of embodiment of a modular furniture unit according to the invention;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the furniture unit after all its elements have been assembled
  • FIGS. 5, 6, 7 are partial perspective views which show a sequence of intermediate stages of assembly of the modular furniture unit
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the modular furniture unit according to the invention fully assembled
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the furniture unit according to the preceding figures with cushions arranged stacked inside the cavity of its cube-shaped body;
  • FIG. 10 is a front view of the modular furniture unit according to the invention with articulated wheels mounted on the bottom.
  • FIG. 1 shows one of the six identical elements which form the modular furniture unit according to the invention.
  • This element 2 which has a U-shaped sheet-like structure of uniform thickness S, consists of a square panel 10 with a side dimension A which joins together the two parallel flanges 2d, 2e, the dimensions of which in the longitudinal direction, measured along the outer surface, is equal to the sum of half of the said side A of the square panel 10 plus twice the abovementioned thickness S of the element 2 (said thickness S, as mentioned, being the same both for the flanges 2d, 2e and for the square panel 10) .
  • the said length of the flanges 2d, 2e measured on the outside will be defined more briefly by the letter M and similarly their length measured on the inside, which for obvious geometrical reasons, is A/2 + S, will be indicated by the letter D.
  • FIG. 2 shows two elements 2, 3 which form part of the modular furniture unit according to the invention with 2d, 2e and 3d, 3e arranged so as to form an extension of the other one, with the free ends facing and in contact with each other.
  • a combined arrangement of the elements 2, 3 forms a hollow parallelepiped with the outer sides having lengths respectively equal to A, A
  • Figure 4 shows the appearance of a cross-section of the modular furniture unit 1 according to the invention effected along the plane ⁇ indicated in Figure 3. It must be noted that, owing to the symmetry in the directions of the three orthogonal axes of the module furniture unit 1, the same cross-section is also obtained by effecting it along other planes ⁇ , ⁇ perpendicular to each other and the plane ⁇ (the planes ⁇ , Y are also indicated in Figure 3) .
  • Figures 5 to 7 show a different sequence of the various stages of assembly, illustrated in Figure 3, which nevertheless produce the same result and Figure 8 shows the modular furniture unit 1 according to the invention after this assembly has been completed.
  • a modular furniture unit 1 formed in accordance with the invention offers the advantages of a minimum volume together with highly versatile use, both for the furnishing of living spaces of any kind (homes, offices, exhibitions, etc.) and for advertising or packaging purposes.
  • a modular furniture according to the invention if produced on a smaller scale, may also be used as a brain-teaser, decorative object for furniture, a container for valuable items, etc.
  • the inventor also envisages the possibility of providing a modular furniture unit 11 according to the invention (see Figure 9 in this connection) with several cushions 12i having dimensions such that they be arranged stacked on top of each other inside the hollow zone of the said furniture unit 11.
  • Another constructional possibility envisaged by the inventor consists in forming or mounting, on the outermost surface E of the square panel 10 of an element 5 which faces the ground T, means which allow the fixing therein in an easily reversible manner of fixed supports, for example resilient bodies, not shown in the drawings, or articulated wheels 9i ( Figure 10) , these being preferably four in number.
  • These means may also consist simply of four holes 8i for fixing mounting pins for these wheels 9i.

Abstract

L’invention décrit une unité de mobilier modulaire (1), ladite unité étant construite en combinant une pluralité d’éléments de type feuille sensiblement identiques (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), de même épaisseur et présentant une section en U. Chacun desdits éléments est composé de deux collerettes reliées par un panneau carré intercalé entre elles. Dans le système selon l’invention, la longueur desdites deux collerettes de chaque élément est égale à la somme de la moitié dudit côté du panneau carré respectif, plus deux fois ladite épaisseur de la structure dudit élément.
