Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hidden device, so-called “shoulder-centre", for the wall assembly of a structural component of a piece of furniture.
  • “Shoulder-centre” devices are destined for being housed in the thickness of a shoulder of a piece of furniture, which is equipped with a suitable housing for this purpose.
  • the invention is described hereunder with reference to the wall assembly of a wall-cupboard, but it can also be equally used for the assembly of uprights (shoulders) forming part of a bookcase or other piece of furniture.
  • Hanging brackets of this type are described, for example, in patent applications PCT/EP20115079 and PCT/EP20115081 .
  • the assembly of the wall cupboard is effected by means of an arm which extends from the body of the device and is hooked to a support, for example a bar, dowel, plate or similar product, fixed to the wall.
  • Hanging brackets of the hidden type described above have various actuation and regulation difficulties, specifically deriving from the installation position in the housing of the shoulder.
  • WO 2012/048849 refers to a hidden device for the wall assembly of a structural component of a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the general objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a shoulder-centre hanging bracket that can be activated in a versatile and simple way, regardless of the position of the shoulder of the wall cupboard housing it.
  • a first object of the invention relates to said device and a second object of the invention relates to a structural component of a piece of furniture comprising said device.
  • FIGS. 1-5 of the drawings illustrate a possible embodiment of the invention in which the assembly device is indicated as a whole with the reference number 1.
  • the hidden device 1 of the invention comprises a body 2 and a movable hooking arm 3 to a wall support (not shown).
  • the wall support can be a plate, a bar or similar product, depending on the requirements; various types of support are known in the state of the art, suitable for different assembly requirements, and consequently no further reference will be made thereto.
  • the arm 3 is provided for this purpose, with a free hook-shaped head 31, which protrudes from a first side of said body 2 and, when in use, is engaged in the wall support.
  • the arm 3 is coupled with said body 2 by means of regulation mechanisms which allow its displacement (or at least the displacement of its head 31).
  • regulation mechanisms which allow its displacement (or at least the displacement of its head 31).
  • the first mechanism 11, for regulating the depth is at least suitable for causing the movement of the movable arm 3 in a first direction, substantially straight, for moving the hook-shaped head 31 towards/away from the body 2: said mechanism, when activated, allows the device 1 (and therefore the wall cupboard connected to it) to be moved towards/away from the wall.
  • the second mechanism 12, for regulating the height is at least suitable for causing the movement of the movable arm 3 in a second direction, substantially angular, for moving the hook-shaped head 31 over an arc of circumference: said mechanism, when activated, allows the device 1 (and therefore the wall cupboard connected to it) moreover, to be moved upwards or downwards (vertically) from the wall.
  • the mechanisms 11, 12 are each provided with respective screw control elements 13,14 that can be activated by a tool U for respectively causing the movement of the arm 3 in the first and/or second direction; for this purpose, the control elements 13,14 comprise shaped engagement means 15,16 for said tool U.
  • the tool U is a Phillips head screwdriver but other forms can be equivalently envisaged, for example flathead screwdrivers, hexagonal-head screwdrivers, torx screwdrivers or the like.
  • Said shaped engagement means 15,16 typically have forms suitable for being engaged with the type of tool U envisaged; in any case, the principle of cooperation between the two, based on mechanical interference, is known per sé and a skilled person in the field can therefore define the most appropriate forms without exiting from the scope of the present invention.
  • said shaped engagement means, 15 in the case of the control element 13, and 16 in the case of the control element 14, are radially engaged with respect to the axis of the screw, so that they can be activated from opposite sides of the body 2, in particular in correspondence with opposite sides of the body 2 different from the side from which said hook-shaped head 31 protrudes.
  • the shaped engagement means 15, 16 each comprise a toothed crown.
  • each control element 13,14 from one side or the other, and independently, so as to regulate the hook-shaped head 31 in depth and/or height and, ultimately, the position of the cupboard on the wall on which it is suspended.
  • the tool U can be introduced indifferently from the right or left and can activate the respective control element 13 and/or 14.
  • the control elements 13,14 are screw elements provided with at least one driving head; the head is enlarged and connected to the threaded body.
  • the shaped engagement means 15, 16 are envisaged on the above-mentioned driving head of the control elements 13,14.
  • the driving head of at least one control element is also provided with an imprint, for engagement with the tool.
  • one of the control elements, 14, is provided with said imprint, whereas the other does not have the same.
  • the imprint is envisaged on both of the control elements 13 and 14, even if, as will appear evident hereunder, it may remain unused in the element 13.
  • the screw 14 can therefore be radially engaged thanks to the toothed crown and it can be axially engaged thanks to the imprint 17; the other screw 13 can be engaged radially thanks to the toothed crown itself, as shown in figure 6 .
  • the three radial access and engagement directions of the screw 13 and the two radial directions and axial direction of the screw 14 are arranged parallel to each other in pairs, so as to allow - ultimately - the regulations of the device with access from three different sides of the same.
  • control elements are therefore activated also in correspondence with a third side of said body 2 which is different from the two opposite sides.
  • the toothed crown is substantially arranged around the imprint 17; in other embodiments, the toothed crown itself partly defines the imprint 17.
  • the user can regulate the arm 3 in height or depth, with access from three different sides of the device, specifically from the right, from the left or from above.
  • the teeth of the toothed crown radiate from the head of the respective screw and are teeth having a substantially triangular (or trapezoidal section), with the vertex of the triangle (or smaller base of the trapezium) facing the rotation axis of the same element 13,14.
  • the rotation axis of the element 13,14 is that which is defined when the element 13,14 is rotated on its threading during an operative regulation phase in height or depth, depending on the case.
  • control elements 13,14 are at least partially housed in the body 2.
  • the body 2 comprises windows respectively 21,22,23 for the part of the body 2 close to the control means 13 and 24,25,26 for the part of the body 2 close to the control means 14.
  • Said windows in the example comprising holes of the body 2, form a passage for the tool, which therefore reaches the shaped engagement means 15,16 of the respective control element 13,14.
  • At least three windows 21,22,23 and 24,25,26, are envisaged for each control element 13,14, but as a rule there may also be others.
  • At least two 22,23 and 25,26 of the three windows are aligned with each other and the remaining window 21 and 24 is arranged perpendicular with respect to a connection axis of the two aligned windows 22,23 and 25,26, so as to allow access of the tool U to each control element 13,14 in correspondence with three different sides of said body 2.
  • the two aligned windows 22,23 and 25,26 are envisaged on opposite sides of the body 2, specifically those which, when in use, are assembled laterally, so as to allow access, as already explained, from the right or left indifferently.
  • the remaining window 21 and 24 of the at least three windows is positioned on a different side of the body 2, in particular that which is assembled above when in use.
  • the device 1 optionally also comprises a fixing upright 5 coupled with said body 2 in correspondence with the side of the latter from which the hook-shaped head 31 protrudes.
  • the upright 5 is provided with at least fixing means to the piece of furniture, for example housing holes for screws or dowels.
  • the fixing upright 5 preferably has a substantially open box-shaped structure, provided with a flat flange 51 surrounded by a raised edge 52.
  • Three passage openings 54,55,56 are envisaged on the raised edge 52, in correspondence with the three windows 24,25,26 of the control element 14 of the height regulation mechanism 12, for allowing access of the tool U to the control element 14 itself; said passage openings 54,55,56 are preferably aligned with the windows 24,25,26, to allow the tool U to reach the control element 14.
  • the body 2 is substantially flat and rectangular, comprising two intercoupled half-shells, and the arm 3 is contained in part of said half-shells.
  • the arm 3 is rotatable around the hinge 37 and can also be moved forwards and backwards.
  • the hooking arm 3 is preferably fork-shaped in a single piece, with interspaced branches, open at the rear and flattened and shaped in the front, so as to form the head 31 protruding through an opening of the body 2.
  • the branches of the arm close to the open rear end, are perforated, so as to receive the hinge 37 on which they can rotate.
  • the hooking arm 3 in its rotation and translation movements is guided by the inner surfaces of the body 2.
  • the mechanism 12, which drives the rotation of the arm 3 around the hinge 37, comprises the threaded element 14, described above, which is screwed in the hinge 37.
  • the head of the element 14 is rotatingly housed in a corresponding seat of the half-shells of the body 2.
  • the element 13 on the other hand, is housed in a threaded seat of the body 2 and acts on the curved spacer 19 which in turn acts on the arm 3.
  • the structural component of the invention belongs to a cupboard or similar piece of furniture, and is destined for being hung onto a vertical wall; the component comprises the shoulder S of a piece of furniture provided with at least an internal housing and also comprises a hidden device 1 of the type described above which is inserted in the housing and coupled with the shoulder S.
  • the shoulder S advantageously has, in communication with the internal housing for the device 1, at least four, preferably six holes S1,S2,S3 and S4,S5,S6 aligned with the windows 21,22,23 and 24,25,26, to allow the passage of the tool U.
