Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system of wooden elements for the production of modular furniture.
  • Modular furniture and in particular modular storage furniture are traditionally formed by uprights in the form of ladders connected together by shelves which are generally placed on metal pins introduced into holes in these uprights, or which are fixed on these uprights using locking keys cooperating with dovetail-shaped notches on these shelves.
  • Different dimensions of ladders, shelves as well as the addition of particular elements and accessories such as intermediate ladders, doors, drawers ... etc, allow to compose all kinds of modular furniture and in particular to extend a piece of furniture already carried out laterally or at height, depending for example on requirements.
  • storage furniture of this type can generally not be extended in a direction perpendicular to the general plane of the furniture, that is to say so as to form an angle. They also require many elements of different shape as well as stiffeners formed in particular by metal cross bars fixed to the rear of the furniture to ensure good rigidity and stability thereof.
  • the basic module is a cubic structure formed by grooved bars, assembled together using assembly cubes and fixing brackets, and capable of receiving thin panels in their grooves.
  • the basic structure is formed of two pairs of shelves, two shelves provided on at least one of their longitudinal edge, with a series of slots, and intended to form the uprights of the furniture, and two shelves intended to form the spokes, having at each of their ends, on each edge a complementary slot.
  • the shelves are mounted by interlocking with each other using their respective slots, so as to form a cubic structure.
  • the upright shelves are assembled in the extension of one another using the other shelves, that is to say those forming the shelves, to form the depth of the cabinet. As before, these elements do not allow extension at right angles to the furniture and require a relatively large number of elements.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a system of elements wooden elements for the production of modular furniture, which can be developed at will from a basic module, which is extremely easy to assemble and does not require the use of any tool, which comprises a number of elements very reduced base, which is auto-carrier and which can be extended both in height, laterally or at right angles while being simple and inexpensive in design.
  • this system of wooden elements has simple shapes, easy and quick to produce and therefore inexpensive to manufacture.
  • each board has at each of its ends a narrowing forming a tenon of dimensions complementary to those of each mortise formed on the side members.
  • the width of the boards can be increased, so as to have a practically continuous surface for the boards mounted side by side, in the mortise series of the same side member, while keeping between adjacent mortises located on a same face of a spar, an interval of material of length and therefore of sufficient strength.
  • each - lôngeron has a square cross section, which makes it possible to have a completely symmetrical structure.
  • the respective dimensions of the mortises and the tenons are provided so as to have a press fit of the tenons in the mortises, which makes it possible to have a structure without play, very stable and resistant, without the use of connecting means. specific, such as glue, screws, nails etc ...
  • angle return elements are provided, each of these elements being formed by a spar of parallelepipedal shape, able to be introduced by a groove, formed on any the length of one of its faces, on the longitudinal edge of a board, and having on at least the face opposite to that in which the groove is formed, a series of mortises capable of receiving the tenons of the boards.
  • each corner return element has a part, on which the longitudinal groove is arranged, of the same section as the connecting beams and of length corresponding to that of a connecting beam reduced by the width of that -this, and a part of length substantially equal to the width of a spar, of thickness greater than the depth of a mortise and able to cover the end end of the connecting spar on which is mounted the board on which the corner return element is fitted.
  • spars of different lengths can be provided, a determined number of mortises corresponding to each length of spar, so as to be able to vary the depth of the piece of furniture according to the use for which it is intended (storage of books or the like).
  • each "board, measured between the tenons, is then equal to an integer multiple n of a determined base length, equal to that measured between its tenons, of the basic board, added with (n - 1) times the width of a spar.
  • the boards are complementary to each other and can be interchanged in the same piece of furniture.
  • Support elements are provided in the case where boards of different lengths are used on the upper and lower part of the same module, and when for example the junction area of the upper boards does not correspond to that of the lower boards.
  • Each support element is formed by a longitudinal member of rectangular section, of the same width and the same length as a connecting element, of thickness equal to the distance separating the longitudinal edge of the mortises of the same connecting element from the edge longitudinal adjacent of this same element and has on one of its faces a series of mortises similar to those of the connecting elements.
  • These support elements are able to rest by their planar face on the boards and to receive one end of boards arranged vertically embedded by their other end in the mortises of the connecting beam connecting the upper or lower horizontal boards.
  • angle return and support elements can also be provided in different lengths.
  • Each beam (7) is formed by a wooden beam of square section, and has on each of its faces a series of mortises (7a) of rectangular shape.
  • the mortises (7a) on each side are arranged one after the other and extend in the longitudinal direction of the spar (7).
  • each spar (7) has four mortises (7a) on each face for a total length of 31.5 cm and is therefore more particularly suitable for making shelves for books or the like.
  • Longer beams (for example 39 cm for five mortises on each side) can also be provided for the production of shelves or furniture of greater depth.
  • each beam (7) is rounded as well as those of its end ends (7c) in order to eliminate any risk of injury and improve its appearance.
  • Each board (8) is formed by a thin rectangular wooden plate and has at each of its ends a tenon (8a) of width equal to the length of a mortise (7a) of a spar.
  • the thickness of each tenon is greater, by about 0.5 mm in the example of the drawing, than the width of a mortise (7a), so that each tenon (8a) can be forced into each mortise (7a) and is mounted securely and without play.
  • This interlocking can however be done by hand or for convenience with a mallet, especially since the edges (8b) of each tenon ( Sa) are chamfered so as to facilitate their introduction into a mortise (7a).
  • the boards (8) can be fitted side by side in the mortises (7a) of the same spar (7) as shown in particular in Figure 2.
  • Their width is : preferably, provided so that two boards (8) adjacent mounted on the same spar (7) are separated from each other by an interval of about 1.5 cm, so as to form a substantially continuous planar surface. This interval between two adjacent boards makes it possible to increase the tolerances over the width of the boards and therefore to reduce the manufacturing cost.
  • the width of the boards could also be provided so that two neighboring boards are edge to edge, in order to have a completely continuous surface, but the manufacturing tolerances over the width of these boards would then be much tighter.
  • the boards (9,10,11) have the same characteristics as the boards (8), namely tenons (9a, 10a, lla) whose edges are also chamfered.
  • the smallest board (8) has, for example, a length (measured between the tenons (8a), that is to say on the part of the board having the same width) of 14.4 cm.
  • the second board (9) then has a length of 33.5 cm, that is to say twice the length of the first board (8), increased by the width (side of the square forming the section) of a spar (7) ( i.e. 4.7 cm).
  • the third board (10) has a length equal to three times that of the first board (8) increased by twice the width of a beam (7)
  • the fourth board (11) has a length equal to four times that of the first board (8) increased three times the width of a beam (7).
  • Each board (9,10,11) can therefore be replaced for example by a board of just less length respectively "(8,9,10) and a base board (8), and the boards (8,9,10, 11) are therefore completely interchangeable.
  • Support elements (13) can be used, in particular when the boards (8,10,11), used respectively at the upper part and at the lower part of a furniture structure are different, as shown in the figure 2.
  • Each support element (13) is in fact formed by a spar portion (7), that is to say that it has the shape of an elongated parallelepiped of rectangular section and that it has on a ( 14) of its faces a series of mortises (14a) similar to the mortises (7a) of the side members (7) (four mortises (14a) in the example of FIG. 7). Its other longitudinal face (15), that is to say its face opposite to the face (14), is flat.
  • This element (13) has a thickness, that is to say the distance between its two faces (14) and (15), equal to the distance separating each longitudinal edge (7d) of a mortise (7a) of a spar (7), the edge (7b) of this spar adjacent to this edge (7d).
  • the boards (S) and the boards (10) are fitted horizontally on either side of the same connecting beam (7) and are connected by other beams (7) to vertical boards (9).
  • Other horizontal boards (11) close the parallelepiped structure.
  • Planks (9) are fitted vertically by one end in the face facing downwards from the beam (7) connecting the upper planks (8) and (10).
  • These boards (9) are fitted by their other ends into the mortises of a support element (13), placed by its flat face (15) on the lower boards (11).
  • This support element (13) therefore makes it possible both to support the connection between the upper boards (8) and (10), and also to make a vertical separation between the left and right parts of the structure using the vertical boards (9) housed in its mortises.
  • Each corner return element (17) has a longitudinal part (18) likewise square section than a spar (7), extended on its front face by a part (19) of smaller thickness.
  • Mortises (21) similar to those (7a) formed in the side members (7) are formed on the front face of the part (18) and of the part (19) of this element.
  • Each corner return element (17) has a total length equal to that of a beam (7) (that is to say in the case of example 31.5 cm or 39 cm), and the length of its part (19) is substantially equal to that of the side of the square section of each spar (7).
  • the angle return element (17) is placed on a board (10) (case of FIG. 2) or on a board (11) (case of FIG. 1), at the end of it ci, by its groove (20), so that its part (19) comes to cover the end (7c) of the spar (7) on which is fitted this board (10,11).
  • Planks (8,9,10,11) can then be put in place in the mortises (21) of this element (17), in the same way as in the longitudinal members (7), so as to form the structure in spike (5).
  • This system of wooden elements therefore makes it easy to build any type of furniture yourself and can in particular be distributed as a kit.
  • any kind of furniture can be made.
