Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9734514A1] The invention concerns a supporting framework in particular for house furniture, the framework taking the form of a rectangular grid structure consisting of load-bearing vertical supports and horizontal adjustable panels (4) inserted between these supports. Preferably, the furniture constructed from the kit also comprises adjustable units which are provided with movable door and/or window elements (5) and are accessible from the front, the back of the units generally being closed by a rear panel which covers the entire area and, as well as providing greater protection from dust, also increases rigidity at the corners of the furniture. The supporting framework comprises ladder-like supports which consist of at least two - or in the case of furniture with a graduated cross-sectional shape generally of three - prefabricated vertical uprights (10) extending parallel at a spacing from each other. The supports also consist of intermediate members (11) which interconnect these uprights (10) in a manner such that a spacing is determined therebetween. The uprights (10) have recesses which are provided in rows at a predetermined separating spacing (E) from one another and are used to hold in a positioned and load-bearing manner preferably cross-bars (2, 2', 2") which are likewise made from prefabricated extruded profiled sections and cut to size. In cross-section these recesses can preferably be dove-tailed transverse grooves (16), sawtooth-shaped cut-outs producing horizontal support surfaces, or bores accommodating carrier bolts projecting in a bracket-like manner.
