Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a panel, having accordingly a thickness of approximately 18 mm or more, that is particularly usable in the field of kitchen furniture, such as for example kitchen worktops, table tops, exposed doors and side walls of furniture carcasses, commonly known as finishing sides.
  • Table tops and doors made for example entirely of plastic material or wood coated with waterproofing paint are currently commonly used in the field of kitchen furniture.
  • the panels made of wood and/or plastics described above are prone to damage, which can occur due to exposure to high temperatures, to accidental impact with foreign objects, or due to water infiltrations.
  • Kitchen furniture in fact necessarily has to be arranged proximate to heat sources, such as burners, the electric or gas-fired oven, and any other heating devices, and often also acts as containers or stands for said heating devices.
  • heat sources such as burners, the electric or gas-fired oven, and any other heating devices, and often also acts as containers or stands for said heating devices.
  • kitchen furniture accommodates or is usually arranged adjacent to at least one sink or even a dishwasher, and can also act as supporting bases for pots or kitchen vessels and accordingly are often in contact with water or other liquids.
  • the panels that are most intensely affected by this wear are in fact the ones that lie closest to source of heat or water, since depending on the type of panel used there may be a first initial slight peeling of the plastic lamina, which usually occurs at the connecting region between the border and the surface, and especially at the corners of the panel; or a small portion of paint might be removed, leading to loss of the waterproofness characteristic.
  • doors made of wood or plastics that have, on one or more sides, covering borders made for example of rubber which affect the entire height of the edge.
  • Such frame is optionally provided with one or more horizontal crossmembers that are suitable to divide the delimited internal region into two or more rectangular or square areas, which can be conveniently closed by positioning and fixing complementarily shaped flat bodies made for example of wood or plastics.
  • the manufacturing cost of the frame is particularly onerous since it must have a transverse cross-section and a thickness that ensure rigidity and support to the entire panel.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-noted problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited known art, by providing an invention that allows to obtain a very thick panel, particularly for kitchen furniture, in which the perimetric structure is stable over time, said panel being cheap to manufacture and assemble and at the same time maintaining its aesthetic and functional appearance.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a panel that can be assembled even automatically by using appropriately provided machines, further reducing manufacturing costs and potentially increasing production.
  • Another object is to provide a panel that allows to contain any deformations due to infiltrations of water or heat.
  • Another object is to obtain a large panel that has optimum mechanical strength, particularly at the regions that are stressed most intensely, therefore at the edges and comers.
  • Another object is to provide a panel that is structurally simple and has a particularly pleasant, innovative and durable aesthetic impact.
  • a high-thickness panel particularly for kitchen furniture, characterized in that it is constituted by a flat body, along the perimeter of which it is possible to associate separate metallic profiled elements that have means for mutual angular connection.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a large panel, which as such has a thickness of approximately 18 mm or more and can be used to manufacture furniture and particularly for kitchen furniture and components for kitchen furniture, such as for example worktops, table tops, exposed doors and/or sides of carcasses of furniture, i.e., finishing sides.
  • the panel 1 is constituted by a flat polygonal body 2, for example square or rectangular, at lateral edges 3 of which it is possible to associate respective metallic profiled elements, designated by the reference numeral 4.
  • a first seat 6 is in fact provided at each of the lateral edges 3 at right angles thereto and proximate to an upper surface 5 of the flat body 2, and affects the depth of the flat body 2 for a few millimeters.
  • a recess having a chosen depth is further provided at each lateral edge 3 in a portion 7 that lies between a lower surface 8 of the flat body 2 and the first seat 6.
  • the metallic profiled elements 4 are associable with the flat body 2 at the lateral edges 3, are internally hollow and have, in a transverse cross-section, advantageously a rectangular plan shape, with a lateral tab 10 that is shaped approximately complementarily to the first seat 6 at an upper face 9.
  • each metallic profiled element 4 is such that once the lateral tab 10 has been arranged in the first seat 6 a lower base 11 is arranged approximately flush with the adjacent lower surface 8 of the flat body 2.
  • the various metallic profiled elements have a length equal to the corresponding lateral edge with which they are to be associated; the ends 12 of each metallic profiled element being cut at a chosen angle in order to allow connection to the adjacent metallic profiled element.
  • each metallic profiled element when using a flat body that has a rectangular or square shape, the ends of each metallic profiled element are advantageously cut at 45°.
  • the panel uses means for mutual angular connection between two adjacent metallic profiled elements.
  • Such means are constituted by a comer element 13, which has in plan view a configuration that in the particular embodiment is substantially L-shaped and can change according to the perimetric configuration of the flat body 2.
  • Each corner element 13 has, in a transverse cross-section, a shape that is approximately complementary to the cavity 14 formed at each metallic profiled element, since it is hollow.
  • each profiled element at the lower face 11 of each profiled element and proximate to the end 12 thereof there is a second threaded seat 16 that interacts with suitable screws 17, the stem 18 of which can be accommodated at a suitable slot 19 formed at the adjacent overlying wing 15 of the corner element 13 previously inserted in the cavity 14 of the metallic profiled element 4.
  • the positioning of the screws allows to achieve stable locking of the various metallic profiled elements, which therefore form a practically non-deformable rigid frame perimetrically with respect to the flat body 2.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a high-thickness panel having been provided that can be used to manufacture furniture and particularly kitchen furniture and whose perimetric structure is stable over time, such solution being further economical to manufacture and assemble and at the same time maintaining over time its aesthetic and functional appearance.
  • This solution can be assembled even automatically, by using suitable machines, with a further reduction of manufacturing costs and a potential increase in production; moreover, it allows to contain any deformations due to infiltrations of water or heat, by virtue of excellent mechanical strength, particularly at the regions that are stressed most intensely, such as the corners.
