Definitions
- the present patent application for industrial invention refers to a modular equipped wall.
- This expression refers to a special furniture solution basically consisting in a vertical structure made of wood, metal, etc. and positioned on an ordinary masonry wall in order to cover it.
- Equipped walls provided with a standardized modular structure, preferably made of wood or metal, have been especially successful on the market. In fact, this solution simplifies mounting and is extremely flexible in terms of installation.
- the use of an equipped wall can be determined by different reasons, including aesthetical, technical and functional characteristics.
- the presence of the equipped wall is justified by the need to hide the irregularities of the masonry wall, or cover different types of installations (electrical wires, air conditioning conduits, water pipes, audio and video systems, information networks, etc.) that are present on the masonry wall.
- the decision to use an equipped wall is determined by the need to enrich the general appearance of the room, by using fine materials and appealing shapes.
- the presence of the equipped wall provides a vertical structure that can be also used to fix hooks, brackets, shelves or other furniture elements used to hang or support different objects.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular structure that allows for the creation of a new type of equipped walls, characterised by perfect organization and use of the space behind it, meaning the space comprised between the rear side of the equipped wall and the bearing masonry wall.
- the equipped wall of the invention can be provided with deep object-holding compartments that can occupy the rear space without creating volumes or irregular shapes on the front of the equipped wall.
- Another purpose of the present invention is to provide an equipped wall characterised by simple and easy mounting, limited production costs and, most of all, unmatched versatility and flexibility in the organization of the vertical surface.
- Another important purpose of the present invention is to permit perfect harmonization of the equipped wall with the masonry structure of the place where it is installed.
- the new equipped wall produces the effect of a no-depth structure with the front surface flush to the wall.
- the equipped wall of the invention can look exactly as a masonry wall or an equipped section of a masonry wall; this is due to the fact that its components comprise finishing end sections that can be used to fill the spaces that are left laterally, with respect to the length of the rear masonry wall.
- the equipped wall of the invention is provided with a modular structure, in which the main element is a frame formed by cross-pieces and uprights made of metal sections and provided with a surface preferably corresponding to the masonry wall to be covered.
- the cross-pieces and uprights create a series of boxes regularly arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns, in chessboard configuration
- the frame which represents the vertical bearing structure of the equipped wall of the invention, is provided with rear horizontal arms fixed to the rear masonry wall and used as spacing elements, since their length also determines the depth of the space comprised between the metal frame and the rear masonry wall.
- the frame is provided with box-shaped hollow elements with parallelepiped structure, with a front opening; the box-shaped elements are standard modules that can be combined with the bearing frame according to the user's requirements.
- each box-shaped element is designed to be exactly received inside one of the boxes of the bearing frame, in such a way that the front opening is flush with the vertical surface of the frame and the box-shaped body projects in the space existing between the metal frame and the rear masonry wall.
- each box-shaped element becomes a compartment of the equipped wall and can be used to contain objects.
- This new technology allows to obtain a modular structure characterised by easy and fast installation and by the presence of projecting compartments on the rear of the front surface, a feature that in the past could only be obtained with plasterboard equipped walls produced by artisans with a long, complex procedure.
- box-shaped element can be provided with sliding doors, pull-out drawers, shelves or partitions to create separate volumes.
- box-shaped elements can be also provided with a TV set, a hi-fi installation, a computer monitor, a lighting fixture or any other appliance, so that the installation of the aforementioned electrical devices can be integrated into the equipped wall of the invention when the corresponding box-shaped element is fixed to the vertical frame.
- the equipped wall of the invention is provided with a second modular element consisting in a simple panel used to exactly cover the boxes of the bearing frames that do not contain the box-shaped elements, in order to ensure surface continuity of the equipped wall.
- the box-shaped elements and panels are fixed in a very simple and fast way, using ordinary screws that, after going through the box-shaped elements and panels, are engaged into threaded holes suitably located on the front of the metal bearing frame on the four corners of each box.
- the user can choose the number and combination of the different versions of box-shaped elements, thus creating an equipped wall with open and closed compartments, as well as with compartments provided with drawers or built-in electrical appliances.
- Another advantage in terms of flexibility of the equipped wall of the invention is that the user can choose the location of each box-shaped element from the variety of boxes that are available on the bearing frame, and change their location as desired.
- boxes of the bearing frame are empty, they can be suitably covered with the aforementioned panels, thus covering anti-aesthetical empty spaces in the equipped wall of the invention.
- Another advantage is represented by the possibility to integrate new technological appliances in the box-shaped elements of the equipped wall of the invention, since this type of appliances is subject to continuous evolution (i.e. audio-visual systems or computers).
- a further advantage of the invention refers to considerable rationality in production and installation.
- box-shaped modules (as well as the panels used to cover the boxes) can be made of wood, metal and also moulded plastic materials, thus permitting production in large series with extremely reduced costs.
- the equipped wall of the invention can be provided with box-shaped elements of any type, without the need of using the vertical structures (such as partitions, lateral or back panels) that are indispensable for the creation of traditional fixed or mobile cabinets, thanks to the fact that it can take advantage of the bearing wall on which it is positioned.
- the only function of the bearing frame of the equipped wall of the invention is to create a space and transfer loads with respect to the masonry wall, and for this reason it can be made of metal or any other material according to functional criteria, also in consideration of the fact that it is not visible.
- the frame does not need to be positioned on the floor, it being sufficient to engage one of the rear horizontal arms against the masonry bearing wall; this allows to hang the equipped wall of the invention and the space underneath for traditional furniture or other articles (sofas, desks, etc.).
- the wall of the invention is composed of a "chessboard-like" bearing frame (1), formed of multiple uprights (2) and cross-pieces (3) that create a series of boxes (C) arranged in regular rows and columns.
- the back of the frame (1) is provided with horizontal arms (4) engaged against the rear masonry wall (P).
- boxes (C) of the frame may be alternatively covered with panels (5) or used to receive suitable box-shaped hollow elements (6) with front opening, as expressly shown in figure 2.
- Each panel (5) is provided with through holes (5a) on the four corners, used to insert screws (V) designed to engage in corresponding threaded holes on the front of the frame (1) on the four corners of each box (C).
- Each box-shaped element (6) is frontally provided with an externally projecting frame (6a) designed to be engaged against the four sections that border each box (C).
- the four corners of the frame (6a) are provided with suitable through holes (6b) used to insert the screws (V) designed to be engaged in the threaded holes on the front of the frame (1) on the four corners of each box (C).
- Figure 3 shows a possible composition of the front wall of the invention, in which the panels (5) alternate with box-shaped open elements (6), with box-shaped elements provided with shelves (60), partitions (61) or niches (62), with box-shaped elements provided with drawers or sliding containers (63) and with box-shaped elements provided with built-in electrical appliances and/or audio visual devices (64).
- the equipped wall of the invention is perfectly integrated and flush with the surrounding masonry wall, practically being a sort of "framing".
- the equipped wall of the invention can be provided with end panels (7) mounted at one or both ends of the equipped wall, if the equipped wall is shorter than the masonry structure.
- the end panels (7) are provided with through holes used to insert the screws (V) designed to be engaged against the front of the bearing frame.
- the panels (7) are cut to measure in order to effectively act as finishing end elements to ensure perfect integration of the equipped wall of the invention with the masonry structure.
- the box-shaped elements (6) and the panels (5, 7) can be made of translucent material, thus providing the possibility of being back-lit and creating a pleasant aesthetical effect on the front of the equipped wall of the invention.
- the lamps used for back-lighting are suitable housed in the large space on the back of the equipped wall.
