Definitions

  • This invention relates to an item of furniture.
  • Such a wall comprises a plurality of vertical studs, each attached to a rafter, and plasterboard supported by the studs.
  • the space (generally a triangular prism) behind the wall is lost, which is particularly undesirable since in most cases the finished room is small.
  • WO 84/03822 is one of a number of documents describing cabinets that fit into rooms with a sloping wall. Such known cabinets are formed from plate sections that fit together. They are generally only suitable for installation in a loft in which vertical walls have not been installed to any significant height, and their construction is so complicated that they generally require fitting by an expert.
  • the invention provides an item of furniture integrally moulded from plastics material, having two parallel vertical sidewalls defining two sides of a substantially rectangular front aperture, flanges extending outwardly from the free edges of said sidewalls for attaching the item to vertical studs, and an upper wall joining said parallel sidewalls, the upper wall lying at an angle of less than 75° to the plane of the aperture.
  • the upper wall is approximately parallel to the sloping wall of the room. Accordingly, said angle is preferably between 35° and 55° and more preferably approximately equal to a standard pitched roof angle of 45°.
  • the flanges comprise sections of a peripheral flange running around the aperture.
  • the flanges may have holes for inserting connectors.
  • the insides of the parallel sidewalls have elongated protrusions running at right angles to the plane of the aperture. These strengthen the item and allow shelves, drawers or baskets to be supported. Means for supporting a clothes rail may also be provided.
  • the item includes a back wall and a base.
  • the latter may be formed with means for attaching at least one adjustable support at a distance from the aperture.
  • Embodiments of the item are provided with at least one door hinged to one of the flanges or to one of the parallel sidewalls.
  • the external width of the item, not including the flanges is preferably approximately ns - t , where n is an integer from 1 to 4.
  • the width of the item not including flanges may be somewhat smaller than ns - t and the flanges may be as wide as 2 t .
  • Figures 1 to 3 show an integrally moulded item of furniture comprising two vertical sidewalls 1, a horizontal base 2 and a shallow horizontal top wall 3.
  • the walls 1, 2, 3 define a rectangular front aperture 4.
  • the item is provided with a flange 7 running around the entire perimeter of the aperture 4. Holes 8 are provided in the flange for fixing the item in place and attaching hinges.
  • each sidewall 1 includes elongated protrusions in the form of ribs 9.
  • the ribs strengthen the item and serve to support shelves and/or drawers.
  • n 1 so that the item fits snugly between two adjacent studs.
  • s The value of s is generally 400 mm or 600 mm, whilst t is generally approximately 25 mm.
  • the item can be installed during the conversion of a loft space into a usable room, but its design also facilitates installation after a vertical lath-and-plaster wall has been erected.
  • a rectangular opening is cut in the plasterboard 10 between two adjacent vertical studs 11 shown in Figure 3.
  • the aperture has a width equal to the spacing between the studs, and a height equal to the height of the item of furniture, not including the flange 7.
  • the item is inserted into the opening so that the flange 7 abuts the plasterboard 10.
  • connectors preferably screws, are inserted through the holes 8 and the plasterboard 10 into the studs 11.
  • Figure 3 also shows a door 12 hinged at 13 to one vertical section of the flange 7.
  • the door could be attached before or after installation of the item of furniture.
  • n 2, i.e. the width is approximately doubled.
  • one of the studs 11 a is cut at the top and bottom of the rectangular opening formed in the plasterboard. Once inserted into the opening, the item is then attached by inserting connectors through the vertical flange sections into the studs on either side of the cut stud 11a.
  • Figure 4 shows a foot 14 at the rear of the base 2. This foot could be screwable into a threaded orifice provided on the base in order to adjust the height of the item.
  • this embodiment comprises two doors 12, one hinged to each vertical flange section, each door having a handle 15.
  • the shallow top wall 3 could be omitted, the upper wall 5 extending as far as the aperture 4.
