Description

BOTTOM WALL LEVELING FURNITURE SUPPORT FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention concerns a lower leveling support for cantilevered wall furniture, intended for

5 complement the upper support of the furniture and counteract the moment of the overturning of the furniture; allowing the invention, the regulation access below the furniture.

STATE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE

In this field the lower legs located are known

10 at the base of the furniture that enable the support of said furniture by complementing the upper support in compensating the moment of furniture overturning.

Numerous supports are also known which, from the point of view of the object of the present invention, are quite complex, in that, in the constitution of the device itself, a large number of elements intervene which, by their constitution, involve complicated production operations. In this type of device it is mandatory to perform machining operations on the back of the furniture since the support cannot be accessed in any other way. In addition, the complexity of the support implies that the pieces are not symmetrical, so one must be manufactured especially for each hand, it has a right hand and a left hand; which entails a negative reflection on production costs and subsequent assembly

25 for specialized labor. On the other hand we have to take into account that for longer furniture this system does not offer guarantees against buckling since the said device cannot be installed unless it is on the sides of the furniture, so it is impossible

30 place the device at half the length of the furniture in order to avoid buckling. In this way the length of the furniture with which you want to work is limited. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION AND ADVANTAGES

Faced with this state of affairs, the object of this invention 35 is a lower leveling support for wall furniture that is

located on the cantilever wall and are anchored to the wall with, which is constituted by pieces by metal injection of outstanding properties of elasticity, mechanical resistance, hardness and being easily machinable, which, for each side of the furniture It contains an anchor plate and an adjustable support base with a support surface of the structural panels, sides and / or base of the furniture, under said support surface there is a regulation area with the head of the vertical adjustment screw and screw head of

10 depth adjustment, accessible directly below the furniture. The vertical regulation screw head has a vertical adjustment shaft that at its end is provided with a crown that meshes with the pinion of a threaded rod and at its end

The opposite consists of a stop for threaded rod connected to the anchor plate by means of the stop window; said threaded rod is provided with an anchoring nut to the anchor plate in the sliding of the slide with its slide guide in the plate guide and the guide of the slide is

20 reciproca of the anchor plate guide. The stop allows the pinion of the threaded rod does not suffer all the force and the moment of overturning.

The linkage of the linkage nut to the anchor plate is carried out in existing windows in said anchor plate, the window having its sides of equal height to the

bonding nut

The depth adjustment screw head has its depth adjustment screw linked to the projection of the horizontal guide of the adjustable support base which is

30 guided on the guide channel of the adjustable support base; said guide having a wall attached to the base panel of the furniture.

The support surface of the adjustable support base resembles a U that allows the reception of the side panel and / or base of any of the sides of the furniture.

The vertical regulation allows us to place the horizontal furniture when we present it on a wall in a cantilever position. For this, through a useful rotary actuator, we have access to the shaft fitted with the gear crown

5 with the pinion of the threaded rod that is located in an upright position, all without interfering with the furniture at any time.

The diameter of the horizontal adjustment screw is coincident with the threading of the guiding projection, said guiding protrusion has a width that is reciprocal of the channel of

10 guided of the adjustable support base. Another remarkable feature of the invention is that, the lower leveling support is symmetrical, that is, it is not hand-held which lowers both manufacturing and assembly costs to a high degree.

15 On the other hand, when we have furniture of greater length, there is a danger of buckling. In this case, the advocated lower leveling support allows one to be placed halfway between the side panels of the furniture thus avoiding the aforementioned problem, since it is not necessary to perform any type of

20 machined in the furniture to be carried out in the assembly of the lower leveling support. The support surface of the adjustable support base of the lower leveling support, resembles a U that allows any of the lateral and / or lower base panels of the

25 furniture On the other hand, it is noteworthy that it is not necessary to perform any type of machining inside the furniture to mount on the lower leveling support since it rests on it and access to both the vertical regulation and the

30 depth adjustment can be carried out by the lower part of the furniture, for this the vertical regulation and depth regulation screw heads are provided with a front carving for the tip of a useful rotary actuator. All this translates in the present case into such advantages

35 as: an injection molded production that is cheap for

large series and that their automation is common and uses conventional means; Easy automation of assembly assembly itself.

These and other features of the invention will be shown in the detailed explanation that follows, supported by the attached graphic representation.

EXHIBITION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With regard to the drawings and references listed above, a preferred embodiment 10 of the object of the invention is illustrated in the attached drawings, which concerns a lower leveling support (1) of wall furniture (18) (20), which are located in cantilever and anchored to the wall (20), which contains an anchor plate (16) and an adjustable support base (2) with a support surface (3) of the structural panels, sides (21)

15 and / or base (22) of the furniture (18), under said support surface (3) there is a regulation zone (4) with the head of the vertical adjustment screw (11) and the head of the regulation screw in depth (8a), accessible directly below the furniture (18).

20 The head of the vertical adjustment screw (11) has a vertical adjustment axis (12) which at the end is provided with a crown (13) that meshes with the pinion (14a) of a threaded rod (14), said threaded rod (14) is provided with a connecting nut (15) to the anchor plate (16) through

25 the window (16b), in the movement of the slide (17) with its slide guide (17a) in the plate guide (16a). The head of the depth adjustment screw (8a) has its depth adjustment screw (8) linked to the projection (7) of the guide (6) which is guided on the channel of

30 guided (5) of the adjustable support base (2); said guide (6) having a front wall (10) attached to the base panel (22) of the furniture (18).

It is provided that the cantilever furniture (18) is supported on at least two lower leveling supports (1) that will be located on the side panels (21) of furniture (18). The

support surface (3) of the adjustable support base (2), resembling a U that allows the reception of the side panel (21) and / or base (22) of any of the sides of the furniture (18).

Another remarkable feature of the invention is that, the

5 lower leveling support (1) is symmetrical, that is, it is not hand, left or right, which lowers both manufacturing and assembly costs to a high degree. In addition, when we have furniture (18) of greater length, there is a danger of buckling. In this case, the lower leveling support (1)

10 advocated allows to place one halfway between the side panels (21) of the furniture (18) thus avoiding the aforementioned problem, since it is not necessary to perform any type of machining on the furniture (18) to mount the lower leveling support

(one) .

15 The threaded rod (14) at its opposite end to the pinion (14a) consists of a stop (25) for threaded rod (14) linked to the anchor plate (16) through the window (16d) of the anchor plate ( 16). The constructive and assembly simplicity is verified by

20 the observation of the exploded view of Figure 4, where it is clearly illustrated that the lower leveling support (1) is constituted by simple and rapid assembly operations of its components, without the use of other means of attachment or mooring, which facilitates and cheaper manufacturing and assembly. The

25 mounting sequence is illustrated in Figure 4 in which the arrow (26) indicates the mounting position for the stop (25) for the threaded rod (14). Said stop (25) allows the pinion (14a) of the threaded rod (14) not to suffer all the force and momentum arising from the weight of the furniture (18) in its wall mounting

30 (20). Figures 6 and 7, by means of sections A-A 'and 8-8' indicated in figure 5, illustrate the execution for depth regulation and depth regulation respectively.

The vertical and in-depth regulations are well understood through Figures 6 and 7. The in-depth regulation

(Figure 6), which establishes a series of relative positions between the wall (20) and the side panel (21) and base (22) of the furniture (18), is achieved by turning in one direction or another the head of the adjustment screw in depth (8a) by means of a useful rotary actuator 5 (24) without interceding on the furniture (18). For this, the depth adjustment screw (8) is linked to the projection (7), which translates into a horizontal movement of the guide (6) along the guide channel (5) of the adjustable support base (2) ); the base panel (22) of the furniture (18) rests on the

10 front wall (10) of the guide (6), whereby its successive positions affect an inclination or another of the furniture (18) thus producing the depth adjustment.

The vertical adjustment (figure 7) is achieved by turning in one direction or another, by means of a useful rotary actuator (24) and without interceding on the furniture (18), the head of the vertical adjustment screw (11) consists of an axis of vertical regulation

(12) which at its end is provided with a crown (13), which meshes with the pinion (14a) of the threaded rod (14) provided with a connecting nut (15) to the anchor plate (16).

20 All this translates into a vertical movement of the threaded rod (14), which thanks to the connection of the connecting nut (15) to the anchor plate (16), the movement of the head of the vertical adjustment screw is transformed (11) in the movement of the slide (17) of the support base

25 adjustable (2) through the guides (16a) of the anchor plate

(16) in conjunction with the guides (17a) of the slide (17).

In this way the movement is transformed into a vertical movement of the adjustable support base (2) as illustrated in Figure 7 in which the

30 structural panels, side panel (21) and / or base (22) of the furniture (18). Through this detailed description, the aforementioned can be verified in terms of the simplicity of the design achieved, as well as its efficiency and functional reliability, its capacity for self-adjustment

35 final, the absence of mechanical relationships susceptible to

produce malfunctions, require maintenance or suffer mechanical degradation over time; as well as its reversibility that allows the indistinct mounting on one or the other of the side panels (21) of the furniture (18). 5
