Description

Furniture module

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a module of furniture, specifically a module of the type intended for be part of a bookstore or similar, which is intended to be combined with special modules, such as those intended to support a television receiver or other similar device, require a greater depth than would be necessary for your use as a mere library.

The object of the invention is to achieve optimum use of the space occupied by said module, with an easy accessibility to the objects arranged therein.

Background of the invention

In the practical scope of the invention, that of modular furniture, when a module is intended for library should have a depth according to the normal size of the books to be received, to order these in rows, where these books show your back and, consequently, result easily located and removable.

Frequently in the context of a bookstore Participate modules to host a television receiver and its accessories, being clear that these modules require a considerably greater depth.

Normally and for aesthetic reasons, these special modules for location of the mentioned devices, it combine in the context of the bookstore with others of the same depth, but with the classic library function.

The usual lack of space availability in current homes makes these modules deeper take advantage by placing two rows of books inside, one located after the other, which makes the subsequent stack of books on the invisible side, since his books are hidden by those of the previous row, and for another one of difficult location and extraction, For the same reasons.

In practice this brings with it that the whole of books that occupies the posterior position in the context of the furniture it is so difficult to locate and access that they just forgotten and abandoned.

Description of the invention

The furniture module that the invention proposes It has been conceived and structured in order to solve in a way fully satisfying the problem above exposed.

For this and in a more concrete way, said module focuses its characteristics on the fact that it establish two independent storage areas, one later and fixed, in which the shelves have an adequate depth for the location in each of them of a row of books, and another anterior and mobile, specifically transverse displaceable on the front of the fixed zone, where they can turn be established, on each shelf, another row of books.

The anterior and mobile zone moves over the rear and fixed area through guides and rolling means and / or adequate sliding, and the width of said mobile area must be maximum half of the width of the fixed area, so that in an extreme position for the mobile zone results directly accessible one of the two halves of the shelves in the fixed area, while the other extreme position is the opposite, thus being easily accessible all the shelves in the area later.

The aforementioned rolling elements corresponding to the base or lower extremity of the mobile zone, they move on guides established in a frontal projection of the base of the furniture as a whole, while the means of superior rolling or guidance do so on the edge front of a shelf belonging to the storage area later, thus allowing the side panels of the module and its base superior be substantially tucked with respect to the area furniture mobile, which gives the furniture as a whole and from the aesthetic point of view, greater lightness, specifically a feeling of lower volume

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a representation schematic in perspective, a furniture module made of according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Sample, also according to a schematic representation in perspective, one of the guides located in the lower base of the mobile body, for displacement transversal of it.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, a detail similar to the one in the previous figure, but corresponding to the example of practical realization for in top hitch.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as in the furniture module that the invention proposes a fixed body (1) participates, similar to any module of Conventional bookcase, with shelves or shelves (2) deep suitable to establish in each of them a row of books, with the particularity that said body (1) incorporates a lower base platform (3) substantially projected in the direction frontal, to achieve at the level of the latter an increase in module depth, which makes it combinable with other modules also of greater depth, destined to house, for example, the types of household appliances mentioned above.

Within the body (1) and immediately by in front of the front edge and free of the shelves (2), it is established a movable body (4), provided with shelves (5), also of adequate depth to house each of them in a row of books, this body (4) being transversely movable on the  platform (3), specifically through guides (6) operationally established in the latter, with which elements of rolling (7) conveniently fixed to the lower base of the body (4) and hidden inside it, rolling elements of market, such as those represented in figure 2.

The width of the moving body (4) must be as maximum half the width of the shelves (2) of the fixed body (1), so that, for example in the extreme lateral position shown in figure 1 said movable body (4) leaves free, ie Visible and directly accessible, the opposite half of the shelves (2), to access the books or objects established in the same, while a movement of the mobile body (4) towards the other end of the guides (6), that is to the opposite side of the shown in figure 1, makes the area of the shelves (2) that in this figure they appear visible and accessible, become hidden by said fixed body (4) the other half being such shelves (2) which is visible and accessible.

To get the hiding of the elements of rolling (7), these can be adapted and fixed to the inner face of the slats (8) that participate in the structure of the base of the mobile body (4).

As a complement to the structure described and for provide the mobile body (4) with due stability, at the base upper (9) thereof, specifically to its rear edge, are attachable coupling means (10), also of any type appropriate conventional, established for example on a profile support and grooving (11) conveniently fixed to said base upper (9) of the body (4) and sliding on a guide complementary (12), than in the practical embodiment example chosen is associated with the shelf or upper end (2) of the body fixed (1), but that could be to any other shelf of said body or its upper base platform.

Claims (3)

1. Furniture module, which being specially designed to be part of a bookstore or similar, and that for aesthetic reasons derived from its combination with modules intended to accommodate for example television receivers and accessories, requires a considerably greater depth than the necessary to establish on its shelves two book alignments, it is characterized in that in it two bodies, a rear and fixed body and an anterior and mobile body participate, so that in the rear and fixed body shelves of suitable dimensions are established to support respective book alignments, the same thing happening in the anterior and mobile body, with the particularity that the latter incorporates a width at most half of the width of the shelves of the fixed body, so that in extreme positions for the mobile body it leaves freely and directly accessible one or the other of the two halves of the fixed body. 2. Furniture module, according to claim 1, characterized in that the fixed body, with any depth in its lateral panels and in its upper base, has its lower base projected frontally in a sufficient magnitude to receive the mobile body, incorporating the upper face of said lower platform transverse guides for movement of rolling elements duly fixed to the lower base of the mobile body. 3. Furniture module, according to previous claims, characterized in that the movable body incorporates, in correspondence with the rear edge of its upper base, hooking means to the front edge of one of the shelves of the fixed body or optionally to the upper base thereof , so that said engagement elements stabilize the mobile body with respect to the fixed body.
