Concealed engagement system with front actuation for bottom parts of furniture and household goods

Abstract

A concealed joint system with front actuation for bottom parts of furniture pieces and household items, comprising in combination at least one front joint unit (UGA) and at least one rear joint unit (UGP), Said at least one front articulation unit and said at least one rear articulation unit are positioned between a bottom part (12) and at least one shoulder part (11) of a piece of furniture (M), wherein the front articulation unit (UGA) and the rear articulation unit (UGP) are each arranged to be attached under the bottom part (12) of the furniture in terms of thickness, wherein the front joint unit (UGA) and the rear joint unit joint the bottom part (12) to the shoulder part (11) (UGP) The axis of symmetry (X) of both lies on a plane (A) outside and parallel to the central plane of the bottom part (12), and at least one front joint unit (UGA) provides orientation towards said at least one Transmission elements (13, 14; 114) of the rear coupling unit (UGP).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a concealed engagement system with front actuation for bottom parts of furniture and household goods. Background technique [0002] Various types of engagement systems are known, such as that of European patent application EP 930436 A1, which provide camming elements for actuating expandable clamping means, or in any case provide for openings requiring openings in panels. The actuation mechanism of the joint, which has a certain complexity. [0003] Other joining systems between the bottom part or base part of the furniture part and the shoulder part of the furniture part are also generally known in the household industry; This is achieved by positioning a counter-piece or similar restraining element into a hole formed in the bottom or base part of the furniture. [0004] In order to achieve this engagement, a relatively large hole must be made in the bottom or base part of the furniture, which hole accommodates a cou...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the presence of the cover causes hindrance and hindrance for the positioning of objects on the bottom or base part of the furniture, thereby causing disturbance to the user in any case

[0007] Consideration should also be given to actuating from above, especially for lower joints, where there is limited space between the shelves or a minimum distance from the bottom part of the furniture or the rear wall of the furniture. Actuation from above is not always easy and, as already pointed out, also requires a visible hole which is greatly criticized by users
