Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new method of positioning and holding in place a horizontal work plan on a support element, and in particular the tray of an office furniture on top of a block in which are housed drawers or the like, in the case where this tray and this block constitute elements of a modular system, as described for example in European Patent No. 91440021.3 of the Applicant.
  • the invention relates to a new system effectively ensuring this positioning and this holding in place, and acting laterally on the field of the plate, ie not affecting either of the faces of the work surface that 'it constitutes, whatever its orientation.
  • the upper face of the support block has a generally oblong recess, constituting a bayonet-type locking lumen for a pivoting horizontal plate, comprising an inwardly curved edge placed in line with the edge. front of said upper face, the plate to be positioned on said upper face having a notch in which said curved rim fits, said rim and said notch both having horizontal bores facing each other and in which a dowel is received 'assembly, the head of this pin, in place, exactly covering the opening of said notch.
  • the pivoting horizontal plate therefore plays the role of an intermediate piece allowing, by its rim, precise positioning of the plate on its support, and thanks to the dowel, keeping the assembly in place, without any visible part on the top of the plate. , whatever its orientation.
  • Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a tray-support block assembly assembled by means of the system according to the invention, taken by the axis of the horizontal assembly pin.
  • Fig. 2 is a top view of the same assembly, the pin being in place.
  • Fig. 2 ′ is a view similar to FIG. 2, the plug being removed.
  • Fig. 3 shows the pivoting assembly plate alone.
  • Fig. 4 shows the ankle alone.
  • the problem to be solved was the positioning and holding in place of a horizontal plate P on the horizontal upper face F of a support block A, with no visible part on the surface of the plate P.
  • the invention consists in using an intermediate piece (1), comprising a horizontal sole (2) and a flange (3).
  • This part comes to rest on the face F thanks to a circular-looking plate (4) comprising ears (5), secured below the sole (2), and coming to be placed in a light (6) of the face F, having the same profile, but offset by a rotation of 90 °.
  • the part (1) can therefore be placed in the face F, the flange (3) then being perpendicular to the edge (7) of the face F, then immobilized in place by rotation of 90 °, said flange (3) coming then place yourself in the extension of said edge (7), to be ready to play its role.
  • the plate P has on its edge (10) intended to come to place this parallel to the edge (7) of the face F, a notch (11), the shape of which corresponds to an inwardly curved portion (12 ) from the edge (3).
  • a notch (11) the shape of which corresponds to an inwardly curved portion (12 ) from the edge (3).
  • the head of this pin (20) is in the form of a vertical plate (23) and a horizontal rim (24) whose shape and dimensions correspond exactly to those of the notch (11).
  • end of the dowel (20) can be split longitudinally (25) and is slightly separated from it, to ensure better immobilization of this dowel in place, and therefore of the assembly.
  • the external hole of the bore (21) can be slightly split (not shown) to create a kind of stop when extracting the plate P upwards.
  • shims (26) may be provided, distributed appropriately on the face F.
  • the external faces of the plate (23) and of the rim (24) have a surface state and a color as similar as possible to those of the rest of the plate P, so as to create the minimum of discontinuity in the corresponding zone of said panel P.
  • additional means are provided to ensure the precise positioning of the assembly piece (1) on the face F, at the time of the aforementioned 90 ° rotation since, in fact, the assembly of the bayonet type of the plate (4) in the light (6) does not ensure an actual positioning in rotation, which results from the cooperation of the convex position (12) with the notch (11) of the tray P, which may be insufficient especially in the case of a tray P of great length.
  • the additional means consist of a boss / bowl pair made respectively in the underside of the sole (2) and in the face F, as shown diagrammatically in (27/28) in FIG. 1, this couple being placed so that one face in agreement, the sole (2) is exactly perpendicular to the outer edge (10) of the plate P and to the outer edge of the face F.
  • the removable nature of the plate (1) makes it possible to place it in several different positions on a face F, in the case where this face is of large dimensions, which makes it possible to place the plate P there in different positions.
  • the plate (1) can be molded in one piece with this face F.
