    Description


    [0001] The present invention relates to a hidden device for the wall assembly of a structural component of a piece of furniture, with regulation from above.

    [0002] These devices are commonly known in the field as hidden hanging brackets, for instance in EP1535539 A1.

    [0003] As a non-limiting example, the invention is described herein with reference to the wall assembly of a wall cupboard, but can also equally be used for the assembly of uprights (shoulders) forming part of a bookcase, or other pieces of furniture.

    [0004] These devices also have the function of allowing regulations in height and depth of the piece of furniture assembled to the wall, with respect to the wall itself and adjacent pieces of furniture.

    [0005] The assembly of the piece of furniture to the wall is effected by means of an arm which extends from the body of the device and is hooked to a support, for example a bar, peg, plate or similar item, fixed to the wall.

    [0006] The above regulations in height and depth are effected by acting on said arm through various types of mechanisms, which are controlled (from outside the device) by means of a maneuvering tool (for example a screwdriver).

    [0007] The present invention specifically relates to a so-called shoulder-centre bracket, i.e. a hanging bracket of the hidden type which is destined to be inserted inside a seat situated inside a shoulder of a piece of furniture, for example a wall cupboard or other furnishing component.

    [0008] So-called shoulder-centre brackets must satisfy the following main requisites.

    [0009] Firstly, their general configuration must be such as to allow an easy and safe assembly inside the shoulder of the piece of furniture, even if the relative seat is not perfectly complementary (fitting perfectly).

    [0010] Secondly, their structure must be such as to ensure a firm and safe fixing to the shoulder of the piece of furniture: i.e. the wall cupboard under stress must not become disengaged from its seat, causing the cupboard to fall.

    [0011] Thirdly, the above regulation mechanisms in height and depth of the piece of furniture must be easily accessible and maneuverable from the outside: i.e. even if the hanging bracket is inserted inside the shoulder of a cupboard, this should be regardless of the type and position of the articulation system (hinging) of the door to the cupboard itself.

    [0012] A further requisite that must be satisfied by shoulder-centre brackets is that they must comprise regulation mechanisms of the cupboard in height and depth which are simple to produce and assemble and have a reliable functioning.

    [0013] The general objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a shoulder-centre bracket which is capable of satisfying the above requisites, overcoming the drawbacks of the known art.

    [0014] This objective is achieved by means of a device, a so-called shoulder-centre hanging bracket, having the characteristics specified in claim 1 and enclosed subclaims.

    [0015] The structural and functional characteristics of the invention and its advantages with respect to the known art will appear more understandable from the following description, referring to the enclosed drawings, which show a possible practical embodiment of the invention itself.

    [0017] Figures 1-16 of the drawings illustrate a first possible embodiment of the invention in which the assembly device is indicated as a whole with the reference number 50, and is of the so-called hidden type, in particular destined for being incorporated in a component of a piece of furniture, for example an upright or panel 51.

    [0018] As already specified, devices of this type are commonly known in the field as shoulder-centre hanging brackets. The device 50 structurally consists of a flat rectangular body 52, characteristically comprising two half-shells 53, 54, intercoupled, and partially containing a hooking arm 55.

    [0019] The arm 55 can be rotated around a pin 56 in the directions of the arrow F (figure 5), and can also be translated forwards and backwards in the directions of the arrow F1 (figure 6).

    [0020] The rotation and translation of the arm 55 are controlled by means of two separate control mechanisms, which are indicated as a whole with the numerical references 57, 58, respectively.

    [0021] The mechanism 57 serves to regulate the height (in vertical) of the position of the panel 51, whereas the mechanism 58 serves to regulate the depth of the position (in horizontal).

    [0022] More specifically, as can be clearly seen in the various illustrative figures, the hooking arm 55 is in a single fork-shaped piece, with interspaced branches 59, open behind and flattened and shaped in the front, defining a hook 60 protruding through an opening 61 of the body 52. The hook 60 is destined for being hooked inside an opening 31 of a support 30 fixed to a wall 20. Said branches 59 of the arm 55, close to the open rear end, are perforated as in 62, so as to receive the pin 56 on which they can rotate.

    [0023] As can be clearly seen in the drawings, the hooking arm 55 is guided in its rotation and translation movements by the internal surfaces of the body 52 (figure 6).

    [0024] The mechanism 57, which controls the rotation of the arm 55 around the pin 56, comprises a screw 63 which is screwed onto a nut 64 integral with the arm 55 itself.

    [0025] For this purpose, the head 65 of the screw 63 is rotatingly housed in a corresponding seat 67 of the two half-shells 53, 54.

    [0026] Analogously, the end of the screw 63 opposite the head 65 is rotatingly housed in a corresponding seat 66 of the half-shells 53, 54.

    [0027] Furthermore, a seat 68 is situated in the head 65 of the screw 63 for a maneuvering tool passing through a hole 69 of the body 52.

    [0028] The mechanism 58, which controls the translation of the arm 55, comprises a screw 70 which is screwed through a threaded hole 71 of the pin 56 on which the arm 55 itself rotates.

    [0029] As can be clearly seen from the drawings, in particular from figures 5 and 6, the translation of said screw 70 is blocked at the front end by a support 72 and at the rear end by a support 73, on which the screw itself 70 is rotatingly assembled.

    [0030] More specifically, the front end of the screw 70 is rotatingly housed inside a seat 74 of the support 72, whereas the head 75 at the opposite end comprises a toothed crown 76 with which a gear 77 is engaged, which rotates on a pin 78 whose rotation axis is perpendicular to that of the screw 70.

    [0031] The gear 77 and the relative pin 78 are housed in a corresponding seat 79 of the body 52.

    [0032] A seat 80 is situated in the gear 77 for a maneuvering tool passing through a hole 81 of the body 52.

    [0033] The screw 70 is rotatingly supported, in correspondence with the toothed crown 76, inside a slit 82 of the support 73, which in turn is firmly inserted inside a seat 83 defined by the coupling between the two half-shells 53, 54.

    [0034] The components of the above control mechanisms 57, 58, as can be clearly seen in the drawings, are housed inside a corresponding seat defined by the coupling between the two half-shells 53, 54, said seat being partially indicated with 84 in figure 3.

    [0035] The half-shells 53, 54 are firmly intercoupled, containing the kinematic mechanisms described above, by means of a plurality of pins 85.

    [0036] The body 52 described above, containing the mechanisms 57, 58 for respectively regulating the height and depth of the panel 51 (and consequently the cupboard of which said panel 51 can be a part), characteristically also comprises a box-shaped upright 86 for fixing the shoulder-centre hanging bracket 50 to the panel 51, as explained hereunder.

    [0037] Said upright 86 is structurally composed of a core 87 reinforced by a perimetric edge 88, connected at the ends, as clearly illustrated in the drawings.

    [0038] The core 87 of the upright 86 has an opening 89 in which the flat rectangular body 52 of the hanging bracket is assembled and fixed (figures 7-10).

    [0039] For this purpose, a box-shaped withholding tooth 90 protrudes, in correspondence with the edge of the body 52 above the hook 60, which defines, with the same body 52, a slit 91.

    [0040] A fixing pin 92 extends, in correspondence with the edge of the body 52, beneath the hook 60.

    [0041] In this way, the body 52 can be fixed to the upright 86, in correspondence with the opening 89, as illustrated in the sequence of figures 7-10, i.e. by first passing the tooth 90 through the opening 89, and then inserting the slit 91 in the core 87 and pin 92 inside a hole 93 of the core 87 itself. Finally, the pin 92 is riveted, as in 94, onto the core 87, so as to obtain a solid, stable and safe connection between the body 52 and the upright 86 (figures 5, 10, 13); body 52 and upright 86 are therefore firmly buffered against each other.

    [0042] As can be clearly seen in the drawings, the opening 89 is eccentric, i.e. it is positioned closer to the upper end of the upright 86, with respect to the lower end.

    [0043] Two lever arms B1 and B2, longer and shorter respectively, are thus defined in the fixing upright 86, whose important function will be described hereunder.

    [0044] The arm B1 is situated under the body 52, whereas the arm B2 is above the body.

    [0045] The shoulder-centre hanging bracket 50 structured as described above, is firmly fixed to the panel 51 in the following way, with particular reference to figures 11-14.

    [0046] Seats 95, 96 are situated in the panel 51, where the body 52 and fixing upright 86 of the hanging bracket 50 are housed - also with a clearance (figure 15 enlarged).

    [0047] The hanging bracket 50 is firmly fixed in place by means of the box-shaped upright 86 which is screwed onto the panel 51 by means of a plurality of screws 97 passing through holes 98 of the core 87 of the upright 86 itself.

    [0048] Figure 16 illustrates, as a non-limiting example, the hidden shoulder-centre hanging bracket according to the invention incorporated inside the shoulder 51 of a wall cupboard M.

    [0049] The wall cupboard M is equipped with a door A hinged by means of an articulation system S of the known type, which allows its rotation (around a horizontal axis) upwards (for opening) and vice versa (for closing).

    [0050] As can be clearly seen from the enlarged detail of figure 16, in spite of the encumbering presence of the articulation system S of the door A - which in fact makes a hanging bracket of the visible type inaccessible from the front (see for example EP 0033179), the hidden shoulder-centre hanging bracket according to the invention, is easily accessible, from above, by means of maneuvering screwdrivers C which are introduced through holes 99, 100 in the panel 51 coaxial to the holes 69, 81 in the upper side L of the body 52 (figure 15), according to axes X which lie on a plane which is substantially coplanar to the sides 101 of the box-shaped body 52.

    [0051] It is thus possible to have access to the regulating mechanisms 57, 58 of the height and depth of the piece of furniture M, as previously explained.

    [0052] Figures 17-28 illustrate a second embodiment of the invention, wherein identical and/or equivalent details to those illustrated in figures 1-16 have the same reference numbers, increased by 100, and will not be described in detail herein.

    [0053] In this second embodiment of the invention, the regulation mechanism 157 of the height (in vertical), instead of being housed inside the box-shaped body 152, is housed inside the fixing upright 186.

    [0054] More specifically, for this purpose, the position of the screw 163 and relative nut 164 is shifted forwards, close to the hook 160 of the arm 155, as can be clearly seen in figures 21, 22 of the drawings.

    [0055] The head 165 of the screw 163, and the end of the latter opposite the head 165, are rotatingly supported inside respective seats 166, 167.

    [0056] The seat 166 is situated in the body of the withholding tooth 190, whereas the seat 167 is situated inside a section 102 protruding from the body 152 and defined by the reciprocal coupling between the two half-shells 153, 154.

    [0057] Said section 102 protrudes from the body 152 close to the riveted pin 192, 194.

    [0058] The head 165 of the screw 163 can be reached, by means of a maneuvering tool, for example a screwdriver C, through a hole 103 situated at the upper end of the box-shaped upright 183, coaxially to the hole 169 of the box-shaped body 152.

    [0059] In both embodiments described above, the regulation of the height and depth of the piece of furniture M with respect to the wall 20 (and possibly also with respect to other adjacent pieces of furniture, not shown) is effected by acting on the screws 63, 163 and on the gears 77, 177, respectively.

    [0060] The rotation in one direction or another of the screws 63, 163, in fact, causes a rotation of the arms 55, 155 around the pins 56, 156, due to the screwing of the screws 63, 163 themselves on the nuts 64, 164.

    [0061] The rotation in one direction or another of the gears 77, 177 (and crowns 76, 176), on the other hand, causes a translation of the arms 55, 155, due to the screwing of the screws 70, 170 in the holes 71, 171 of the pins 56, 156 which are therefore induced to translate forwards and backwards integrally with the arms 55, 155.

    [0062] The seats 68, 168 and 80, 180 are accessible to a manoeuvring tool (for example a screwdriver) introduced through the respective coaxial holes 69, 169 and 81, 181 situated in the upper side L of the box-shaped bodies 52, 152, and through holes 99, 100 and 199, 200 of the panels 51, 151.

    [0063] Figures 15 and 27 enlarged, illustrate how, thanks to the hidden shoulder-centre hanging bracket according to the invention, the serious problem of the disengagement of the body 152 of the hanging bracket from the respective seat 195, is solved, even if the latter is not perfectly sized.

    [0064] The problem is solved by the fixing upright 186 with the lever arms B1 and B2, longer and shorter respectively, which prevent a clockwise rotation of the panel 151 (under stress F1) around the hinge point P, thanks to the action of the forces of the components R1, R2, R3 and R4 and resulting moment M1.

    [0065] The collaboration between the core 187 and perimetric edge 188 of the box-shaped fixing upright 186 is significant for this purpose.

    [0066] Access from above by means of the screwdriver C is allowed by envisaging holes (not shown in detail) in the top 32 of the wall cupboard M.

    [0067] The objectives indicated in the preamble of the description have therefore been achieved.

    [0068] The scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.
