Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a furnishing element such as for example a bookcase, a cupboard, a table, a sink or cupboard for under the sink, a bath tub, an ornamental column, a lamp, a chandelier, or other, and the relative method of production.
  • the present invention is used to make furnishing elements that are easily removable and/or light and/or have particular acoustic or transparent properties.
  • Furnishing elements are known, such as false ceilings and dividing walls, wall coverings and furniture, made of flexible and elastic materials, with different finishings, for example lacquered, buffed or other, or having semi-transparent characteristics.
  • Such known furnishing elements are used in rooms where furnishing elements are required such as dividing walls, light and/or easily removable and/or washable, or where determinate decorative, aesthetic or luminous effects are to be created, for example by interposing some sources of light between the ceiling and the false ceiling.
  • the extruded pieces are attached on the perimeter of the ceiling, when a false ceiling is made, or for example in the case of a dividing wall they are attached along the edges of a frame so as to define the perimeter of the wall.
  • the room where the sheet is located is generally heated to a predetermined temperature so that the sheet can elastically dilate.
  • the sheet is drawn to reach a suitable length to facilitate the operations to attach it to the profiles.
  • the room is cooled, so that the sheet tends to recover its original size that normally varies, as it shrinks, by 4-7% with respect to that of its heated condition, that is, to the sizes of the surface to be covered.
  • the sheet is taut between the profiles to which it is attached, defining a desired surface.
  • some weakening notches are made on the attachment profiles of the sheet in correspondence with the curved zones, so as to be able to slightly bend the profiles so as to follow the desired curvilinear path.
  • the known solution entails long assembly times, because the profiles are made separately from the frame or the structure on which they are later attached, and this does not guarantee that the curve of the profiles precisely reflects the curve required for the furnishing element. This makes it necessary to make modifications to the profiles, depending on the experience of the worker, during the assembly step.
  • a flexible sheet is associated with the support frame, which can be shaped, for example by associating some weights to it, so as to define a plurality of compartments inside the furnishing element.
  • the sheet rectangular in shape, has oblong support elements, the ends of which protrude from the perimeter of the sheet and can be housed, on each occasion, in a desired pair of U-shaped facing seatings of the frame, so as to suspend the sheet between one end and the other.
  • the solution of suspending the sheet can render the furnishing element unstable and, in any case, the weights can be bulky and heavy, both in assembly and also in transport and storage.
  • Purpose of the present invention is to achieve a furnishing element, provided with one or more walls made of flexible material, which can be easily shaped according to the most diverse curvilinear profiles, or others as desired, without incurring the above disadvantages.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a furnishing element comprises at least a wall, variously shaped, made of rigid or semi rigid material.
  • the furnishing element according to the present invention also comprises a sheet made of flexible and shapeable material.
  • attachment means are provided on at least one perimeter segment or section of the sheet so as to removably connect the sheet to the wall.
  • the wall comprises housing means made in a piece thereon.
  • the housing means are shaped in mating manner with said attachment means in order to achieve a coupling with the attachment means so as to connect the sheet to the walls.
  • the housing means are formed, for each wall of the furnishing element, by a relative groove made, advantageously by removing material, in a continuous manner along at least part of the perimeter of the edge of said wall or other terminal or intermediate zone.
  • the attachment means extend continuously along at least a segment or section of at least a perimeter edge of said sheet, mating with the part of the perimeter of the edge of said wall in which said groove is made, so that the attachment action of said attachment means in said housing means develops continuously along said segment or section of said at least one edge of said sheet.
  • the sheet is advantageously put under tension thanks to the coupling of the attachment means in one or more grooves of the walls, without needing additional weights, quickly and safely.
  • the conformation moreover, can be of any shape and form, since it can depend on the conformation, variable as desired, of the attachment grooves, and also the reciprocal position of two or more opposite grooves.
  • the furnishing element comprises at least two walls, each of which provided with at least a portion on which the housing means are made, and the sheet comprises at least two edges on which the attachment means are provided, able to achieve a coupling with the relative housing means.
  • the housing means are formed by a suitable groove or housing seating that can identify an open path or a closed path on the relative wall.
  • the grooves can also develop on different planes, including curvilinear or more complex.
  • the groove can be along the peripheral edge, or in a position similar to the central one, or in a position intermediate to the previous two.
  • the groove can be on the upper or lower surface, or made in the external thickness of the relative wall.
  • the housing means are made directly on the walls of the furnishing element, there is a substantial correspondence between the curve of the walls and the curve of the housing means that can assume substantially any desired shape.
  • the continuity of the housing means also confers better aesthetic quality to the furnishing element.
  • Another advantage is that there is no need to attach the housing means to the walls for example by means of screws or glues. This makes assembly much quicker and also the stresses due to the tension of the sheet are discharged along the whole length of the attachment means, and from here distributed on the entire surface of the walls of the furnishing element, and not only on the screws or on the portion of wall where the screws are attached.
  • the present invention is that it is possible to produce the furnishing element in series and in modular form, and to sell it in a kit.
  • the client can thus choose the composition of walls which most suits his requirements and can also choose where to insert the sheet, since all the walls are already pre-disposed for attachment and easily modifiable in size.
  • the sheet is made of thermo-deformable material. The use of a thermo-deformable material allows to use the technique of heating, attachment and subsequent cooling of the sheet in order to tension it properly, much more advantageously and effectively compared with a sheet made of fabric of the traditional type.
  • the walls are made of a material suitable for mechanical removal of chip, advantageously wood, wood based materials and wood substitutes.
  • reinforcement means are associated with the walls and cooperate with them in order to contrast the tensions produced for example when the covering surface cools and consequently shrinks.
  • the walls comprise a plurality of portions that can be coupled with each other, for example by male- female joins.
  • the walls can be stored, transported and sold in the dis-assembled condition, with a consequent saving in storage space and transport costs.
  • the modular nature of the walls also allows to optimize production costs and production programming.
  • the body comprises a lower base and an upper base, able to be attached respectively to the floor and ceiling around the pre-existing fixed structure.
  • the worker can easily assemble the bases by fitting the various portions to each other around the structure to be covered.
