• FIGS. 1-10 show a supporting device for a cantilevered tubular structure according to the invention suitable for fixing a cantilevered tubular structure 11 with respect to a wall 12, in various positions and arrangements.
• the cantilevered tubular structure 11 comprises a series of tubular elements, having various lengths, stably and firmly connected to each other in various ways, for creating shoulders, uprights, crossbars, supporting planes, etc. of a furnishing element, support or the like.
• the supporting device is arranged in correspondence with a tubular element 13, forming part of a series of tubular elements 13, 13', 13", etc., of the cantilevered tubular structure 11, for facing the panel 12, for example in the form of a wall or a wooden plank.
• the tubular structure 11 comprises at least one tubular element 13 facing the supporting wall 12. Said at least one tubular element 13 provides an opening 14 or window, which faces the supporting wall 12.
• the supporting device comprises in combination:
• the first hook portion 15 is fixed to the at least one tubular element 13 by introducing it according to the present invention into its interior from the above opening 14 or window .
• the second supporting portion 16 can be positioned and fixed to the supporting wall 12, for example by means of dowels 17 inserted in the supporting wall 12.
• the first hook portion 15 in the example is composed of a block 18 and adjustment mechanisms of the positions in depth (horizontal) and height (vertical) of said first hook portion 15 with respect to said second supporting portion 16, are associated therewith.
• a first adjustment mechanism of the vertical position or position in height provides an adjustment screw 19 which is screwed into a vertical threaded hole 20 passing into the block 18.
• a free end 21 of the adjustment screw 19 according to the present invention is engaged on an abutment plane or upper surface 22 formed in the second supporting portion 16.
• a second adjustment mechanism of the horizontal position or position in depth provides a second adjustment screw 23 which is screwed into a vertical threaded hole 24 also passing into the block 18.
• a free end 25 of the second adjustment screw 23 according to the present invention is engaged on a tilted abutment plane or tilted surface 26 formed in the second supporting portion 16.
• the tilted abutment plane or tilted surface 26 is formed in a tooth extension 27 which extends upwards from the upper surface 22 of the second supporting portion 16.
• the second supporting portion 16 in the example is also composed of a second block 28, in the example prismatic, the same as the first block 18, but not limited to this form. Like the second block 28, it provides an upper surface 22 from which the tooth extension 27 extends upwards bearing the tilted abutment plane or tilted surface 26.
• the tilted abutment plane or tilted surface 26 of the tooth extension 27 facing upwards is arranged in a direction complementary to that defined by a tooth extension 15' facing downwards of the first hook portion 15 of the block 18.
• first hook portion 15 of the block 18 provides the tooth extension 15' facing downwards which collaborates with the tooth extension 27 facing upwards of the second supporting portion 16.
• the figures show in examples, how the first hook portion 15, when positioned inside the at least one tubular element 13, is stably constrained in correspondence with the opening 14 to the same tubular element 13.
• first hook portion 15 when positioned inside the at least one tubular element 13, is stably constrained in correspondence with the opening 14 by means of a welding 29.
• Said welding 29 also helps to keep the block 18 of the first hook portion 15 in position also with the collaboration of a lowering or extension 30 formed outside the tooth extension 15' .
• Said lowering or extension 30 is in fact arranged in contact with an upper end 31 of the opening or window 14 of the tubular element 13.
• the lowering 30 can, in general, also be formed at the side of the block 18 of the first hook portion 15 to improve its stability and positioning inside the opening 14 and inside the tubular element 13.
• a second example of figures 5 and 5b shows how the first hook portion 15, when positioned inside the at least one tubular element 13, is stably constrained in correspondence with the opening by means of at least one plug 38.
• the plug 38 is inserted in a hole 32 of the tubular element 13 and then in an aligned hole (not shown) of the block 18.
• A The distance between a lower surface 33 of the block 28 of the second supporting portion 16 and a lower end 34 of the window 14 (figure 9) is in fact indicated with A.
• B A possible relative movement between a lower free end 25 of the adjustment screw 23 and an upper free end of the tilted surface 26 of the second supporting portion 16 is also indicated with B (not shown in the drawings) .
• Figure 1 shows the general arrangement that must be acquired between the tubular structure and elements of the supporting device of the invention before obtaining the correct positioning.
• the following figures illustrate the implementation steps.
• the first hook portion 15 formed (figure 2) in the tubular element 13 is inserted, by introducing it into its interior from the above-mentioned opening 14 or window according to the present invention until the arrangement shown in figure 3 is reached.
• the first hook portion 15 is secured inside the tubular element 13.
• first hook portion 15 to be stably constrained in correspondence with the opening 14, for example by means of a welding 29 (figures 4 and 4b) or by means of a plug 38 (figures 5 and 5b) .
• the supporting device must be completed in the operational position by engaging the second supporting portion 16 already previously fixed to the panel or wall 14. This takes place by approaching the parts 15, 16 according to the arrow K shown in figure 6.
• Figures 8 to 10 show how the first vertical adjustment or adjustment in height takes place. This is effected by acting with a tip 37 of a tool on the first adjustment screw 19 by rotating it according to the arrow H.
• the free end 21 of the adjustment screw 19 engages on the abutment plane 22 formed by the second supporting portion 16.
• the tubular structure 11 is therefore adjusted as shown by the arrow V of figure 10.
• Figures 11 to 13 show how the horizontal adjustment or adjustment in depth takes place.
