Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the supporting devices for hanging units and in particular refers to an adjustable supporting device for the positioning of wall cupboards.
  • Two fundamental types of adjustable supporting devices substantially consisting of a box provided with a hook and two adjusting screws which must be fixed inside a wall unit at a rear opening thereof to allow the insertion of the hook on a metallic strip located on a wall.
  • the desired lateral positioning of the wall unit is obtained by shifting it along said strip, while its adjustment in height and depth with respect to the wall is obtained by acting on the two adjusting screws.
  • the screw for the depth adjustment is arranged perpendicular to the wall and is frontally accessible by the installer, whereas, on the contrary, the screw for the height adjustment is vertically arranged thus resulting scarcely visible and accessible from inside the unit, and therefore difficult to be acted on by the installer.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable supporting device which is structurally simple and cheap and, at the same time, easy to be used by the installer.
  • the device according to the present invention includes a box 1, substantially parallelepipedal and both internally and externally shaped, wherein two adjusting screws 2, 3 enter whose heads remain accessible from outside by abutting on proper surfaces of box 1, and from which a hook 4 frontally comes out whose end is inserted on a metallic strip 5 fixed on a wall 6.
  • the hook 4 as it will be clearer later on, consists of a small bar, preferably metallic, substantially U-shaped and having the ends of the two parallel arms located within box 1.
  • the threaded shank of screw 2 which is inserted in the back of box 1 is interposed between said ends and parallel thereto.
  • the two parallel ends of the small bar forming hook 4 have two coaxial holes wherein a cylindrical plug 7 is inserted, perpendicular to said ends and to the interposed screw 2, provided in turn, in a substantially intermediate position, with a threaded through hole wherein screw 2 is actually inserted.
  • the screw 3 is diagonally inserted from below into box 1, so as to have its threaded shank interposed between the parallel arms of the U-shaped hook 4 too, however in such a position as not to interfere with the threaded shank of screw 2.
  • the end of screw 3 is inserted in the threaded through hole of a second cylindrical plug 8 being transversely arranged within box 1 and abutting at the bottom on the arms of hook 4,.
  • the plug 8 also abuts, in its substantially upper area, on two projections 9, formed within box 1 on the long sides thereof, and having the surface whereon plug 8 abuts parallel to screw 3.
  • Fig.2 also shows a snap-in fixing pin 10 which, together with an identical parallel pin (not visible), allows the mounting of the device according to the present invention inside a piece of furniture 11.
  • the device according to the present invention allows, in addition to the conventional adjustment of the lateral position of the piece of furniture, also the adjustment in the direction perpendicular to wall 6 which is carried out by acting on screw 2.
  • a rotation of screw 3 causes the sliding of its threaded shank through the cylindrical plug 7 and therefore the shifting of the whole device and of the piece of furniture integral thereto.
  • the raising of the piece of furniture 11 will be obtained by screwing the adjusting screw 3, whereas the lowering thereof will be obained, of course, by unscrewing said screw 3, and it should be noted that this adjustment is extremely easy thanks to the inclined position of screw 3 which is perfectly accessible by the installer considering that, in particular, the device according to the present invention is usually fixed inside a piece of furniture and in the upper part thereof.
  • the box which serves as a container of the device may have any shape suitable for the purpose, but it will be necessary anyway that the area intended for housing the head of screw 3 is such as to have the screw arranged parallel to the surface of projection 9 whereon the cylindrical plug 8 abuts, since otherwise the box would undergo anomalous mechanical stresses with consequent malfunctioning of the device and possible breaking of box 1.
  • the cylindrical inserts 7, 8, preferably metallic, may be replaced by rods, plates or similar members suitably shaped to fit the surfaces of hook 4 and, in particular, of projections 9 whereon they must abut, as well as provided with a threaded through hole, so as to keep the above-described functionalities unchanged.
  • hook 4 too may have any different shape suitable for this purpose.
