DESCRIPTION

Transformable furniture program

Technical sector

The invention that corresponds to this Utility Model application belongs to the furniture sector, specifically to the modular furniture sector. The object of this application is the registration of a furniture program that allows the creation of a huge family of transformable furniture of different types, and that has 2 main characteristics that are complementary: a) all these furniture are capable of transforming when their flat components they exchange their positions, and b) all these flat components use identical joints for their assembly without using screws or tools.

Background of the invention

There are currently modular furniture programs that allow compositions to be assembled from the combination of a series of determined elements, but these elements have a defined position within said compositions, for which said compositions cannot vary from their predetermined configuration. They cannot be considered transformable furniture. In addition, the assembly normally uses screws and tools.

What we are not aware of, despite being immersed in this sector for a long time, is the current existence of any furniture program that allows the flat elements with which its furniture is built to exchange their positions, causing these pieces of furniture to transform to adopt new configurations, and also, that they do so in an extremely simple way (without the use of screws or the need to use tools). All of this, of course, with proven consistency and stability. Explanation of the invention

This furniture program is made up of a set of 3 types of elements (all in flat format): shelves, supports and modules with doors.

These elements are assembled by means of exactly the same joints made up of holes and connectors (of the tuft type) embedded without the need for screws or tools, until giving rise to different transformable furniture compositions belonging to different typologies (sideboards, living room compositions, dividers, bookcases , etc.).

It should be pointed out that the modules with a door are also formed from flat elements (sides, base, rear and door) which, when assembled, form said module. The importance of all the elements of the furniture program being flat also obviously lies in the advantages in terms of packaging and shipping.

The pieces of furniture generated with this program are transformable because these basic elements (shelves, supports and modules with doors) can exchange the positions they occupy in the piece of furniture thanks to the fact that all the joints between them are exactly the same. All connectors and all component holes are identical.

Each piece of furniture in the program has the possibility of modifying its appearance since it can present several different configurations in a variable number, depending on its characteristics. If we add to this the great ease of assembly, we will understand that this furniture program really allows the interaction between a user and his furniture to be taken to an unprecedented level, changing the configuration as many times as he wants. It is also very important to point out the enormous capacity for customization that this program offers us, since each element that makes up a piece of furniture has a finish that can be selected individually, which means that the customization possibilities by combining the elements are practically endless. .

Let us now detail the components of the program:

SHELVES. They have various lengths and 2 depths (34 and 44 cm). They present an arrangement of holes that correspond to several different templates, so that there are no visible holes in the furniture, and that allow the insertion of the connectors where the supports and the modules with doors will be assembled. They are 30 mm thick and can be made from lacquered or veneered MDF or melamine board. The lower shelf will have leveling holes attached to its lower face to correct existing deficiencies in the pavement and place it correctly at level.

SUPPORTS. They are flat and belong to 2 different types: transverse (perpendicular to the length of the shelf) and longitudinal (parallel to the length of the shelf).

All supports have 2 holes on their upper edge and another 2 on their lower edge. The connectors that allow the assembly that joins them to the shelves fit into these holes. They are made with 12 mm thick boards that can be lacquered or veneered MDF. All supports have 3 height possibilities: 30, 40 and 73 cm.

The transverse supports are arranged perpendicular to the length of the shelf with a fixed distance between their axes (modularity) of 88 cm and have a width of 30 cm. The longitudinal supports are arranged parallel to the length of the shelves and are manufactured in 2 possible widths: standard 30 cm and long 56.8 cm.

MODULES WITH DOOR They are also made from these flat elements: 2 sides, base, back and door. These modules can have 2 heights: 30 and 40 cm, and 2 depths: 32 and 42 cm. The sides, 19 mm thick, have holes on their upper edge and on their lower edge where the connectors that join them to the shelves fit. Once the 2 sides have been fixed to the base (19 mm thick), the back (12 mm thick) is assembled by fitting it vertically into existing slots on the inner faces of the sides. Lastly, the door (19 mm thick) is hinged to the base and attached to the sides by retainers (for this reason it is the only exception as it is the only piece that is screwed). The door does not need a handle because it has lateral recesses that allow it to be opened.

Description of the drawings

Drawing 1. Program components. In this drawing we see the shelves in the lower part, above we have the longitudinal supports and in the upper part are the transverse supports and the modules with doors.

Drawing 2. Shelf and support (transverse).

Drawing 3. Module with door. In this drawing we see the different components that make up the module with door: 2 sides, base, rear and door.

Drawing 4. Enlargement. In this drawing we see an enlargement to better observe the assembly between a support and a shelf with the holes and connectors used.

Drawing 5. Assembly 1. In this drawing we see how the first support is joined to the lower shelf of a composition.

Drawing 6. Assembly 2. Here we see how the following supports are assembled on the lower shelf of said composition.

Drawing 7. Assembly 3. In this drawing we can see how the next shelf is assembled on the previously placed supports. This will continue to reproduce the process until a certain composition is completed.

Drawings 8 - 13. These drawings show an example of how a given composition can have multiple different configurations (6 in this case) when its components (shelves and supports) exchange their positions. Actually in this case, we could have included more than double the configurations.

Drawings 14 - 23. These drawings show a small selection as a sample of the different compositions that can be made with this transformable furniture program.

Mode of embodiment of the invention

Precisely to illustrate some of the possibilities of applying the furniture program, drawings from 19 to 25 show us a selection of compositions of different types made with it (sideboards, bookcases, living room compositions, etc.)
