Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements to concealed devices for wall-mounting an item of wall furniture, preferably but not necessarily a kitchen cabinet.
  • the plate is fixed to the side and possibly also to the top panel of the furniture item rearward of the back panel, the coupling element being freely engaged with a bar or hook plugs fixed into the wall, or with some other object suitable for the purpose.
  • the aforesaid mounting devices are also provided with linkages comprising adjustment screws by which the vertical position of the coupling element relative to the plate, or its length, can be adjusted as can the angle formed between the plate and coupling element by virtue of the degree of opening of this latter.
  • Said adjustment screws are accessible from the interior of the furniture item through one or more apertures provided in the back panel.
  • the position of the item of wall furniture can be adjusted within certain limits in terms of its depth and height after it has been mounted on the wall by engaging the coupling elements of the devices fixed to the sides of the furniture item with the bar or hooks fixed to the wall.
  • DE-A-2,717,169 and US-A-4,143,846 disclose devices comprising the features of the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the mounting devices of the known art comprise plates configured such as to form either a right hand or a left hand device, both of which are required, with all the drawbacks deriving therefrom.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the drawbacks of the known art by providing a device which in addition to comprising an extremely simple and light structure, with components which can be assembled rapidly, also comprises a universal plate which can be applied to either side of the item of furniture by screws or pins, either onto a top panel which is flush with the side panels of the furniture item or onto a top panel which is inward of these, leading to considerable economy.
  • the mounting device according to the invention is indicated overall by 110 and is structurally formed by combining a plate 111 with a slide 112 which is mounted on opposing parallel guides 113 of the plate 111 in a manner vertically movable in the directions of the arrow 114.
  • the slide 112 is constructed in two halves 115 ( Figure 5) connected together by pins 116, 117 and held together by the lateral opposing parallel guides 113, which embrace corresponding lateral sections 118 ( Figures 7 and 8) of said halves 115.
  • the pins 116, 117 provide secure interconnection between the two halves 115 during the assembly of the device ( Figures 7 and 8), so as to form a sub-unit which can be fitted automatically to the plate 111.
  • the slide 112 contains the device adjustment linkages, consisting of two screws 119, 120.
  • Figure 5 of the drawings shows said two screws 119, 120 in two positions mutually rotated through 180°.
  • the first screw 119 passes obliquely through the slide 112 and is screwed into a first threaded hole 121 formed in the two halves 115 by pressing.
  • the screw 119 is operated by a cross slot 122 for an operating screwdriver, the slot 122 being provided in one end of the screw ( Figure 5). That end of the screw 119 distant from the slot 122 comprises an unthreaded portion 123 to prevent the escape of the screw 119 from the threaded hole 121. Said end reacts against an abutment 138 formed integrally with the plate 111.
  • the second screw 120 lies in the same plane as the screw 119, but screws perpendicular to the slide 112 by passing through a second threaded hole 124 formed in the two halves 115 by pressing.
  • the second screw 120 comprises at one end a slot 125 for an operating screwdriver, and at its other end a head 126 which can be coupled in a freely removable manner to an anchoring element fixed to the wall, such as a bar 127 ( Figures 12 and 13).
  • the screw 120 comprises a threadless end portion 128 which prevents the screw 120 being completely unscrewed from the threaded hole 124, in which the screw 120 (as does the screw 119) remains confined on connecting together the two halves 115.
  • the device is completed by a series of fixing pins 129 ( Figures 1-3) extending laterally from and integral with one side of the plate 111, and by a series of oblique holes 130 for fixing screws provided in the opposite "boxed" side 131 of the plate 111.
  • a flange 132 In addition from and integral with the upper side of the plate 111 there extends a flange 132 with holes 133 for fixing the plate 111 to the top panel 135 of the furniture item by screws 134 ( Figure 12).
  • the device assembled as shown in Figures 1, 2 is fixed to the side panel 136 of an item of wall furniture either by screws, not shown (Figure 10), or by inserting the pins 129 of the plate 111 therein (Figure 11), and is also preferably fixed by screws 134 to the top panel 135 thereof, on the rear side of the back panel 137 ( Figures 10, 11, 12).
  • the item of wall furniture must be provided with at least two of said devices (right and left), one on each side, so as to be able to be mounted on the wall by engaging the head 126 with the profiled bar 127 fixed to the wall (not shown), or with another equivalent element.
  • the furniture item can be shifted further from or closer to the wall by the traction exerted by the head 126.
  • the height of the furniture item can be adjusted by the relative sliding between the plate 111 and slide 112 by rotating the screw 119, one end of which acts against the abutment 138 on the plate 111.
  • a tongue 139 formed integrally with the plate 111 prevents the slide 112 escaping from the guides 113.
  • Figures 13 and 14 show the mounting device of the invention fixed to an item of wall furniture in which the top panel 135 instead of being flush with the edge of the side panel 136 as shown in Figure 12 is inward of the side panel 136.
  • the plate 111 comprises holes 142 ( Figure 9) for fixing screws 143 which pass through the back panel 137 and into the top panel 135.
  • the device of the invention is of simple and economical manufacture, it being composed of a minimum number of pieces easily assembled onto the plate, with particular reference to the slide, which is mounted on the plate freely without the use of any screw or similar engagement.
  • the provision of the inclined screw 119 means that the slide 112 can move to a greater extent than the stroke of travel of the screw. Hence adequate adjustment of the plate 111 in terms of height can be achieved within a small space.
  • the particular structure of the plate 111 which is provided with pins 129 on one side and holes 130 for fixing screws on the opposite side, means that the same pair of devices (one right and one left) of Figures 10 and 11 can be used independently of the chosen fixing system (either pins or fixing screws).
  • the screw 119 being inclined, can be operated easily from the interior of the furniture item by a screwdriver inclined in the same manner as the screw.
