Systems for quick mounting applied to a cabinet body

Abstract

The present patent of the invention is applied to the furniture area and refers to a system for bending pieces and system for quick mounting applied to a cabinet body, specially steel cabinets, for joining took-apart pieces through fitting and bending to the steel piece itself causing the pieces to lock one another without needing screws, connectors, tools or skilled labor. The cabinet body presents bipartite backside section of which two pieces are joined by quick fitting in one piece which side section, top and bottom parts fit to, resulting in the box. This box having pieces non-locked yet receives in its four corners simple manual bends at the steel, forming the cabinet box for doors and shelves to be immediately fitted thereto.

2. The system for quick mounting applied to a cabinet body according to claim 1, wherein the bipartite backside section (1), the pair of side parts (2), and the top and bottom parts (3) are fitted one to another, wherein locking thereof is performed by bending each said tab (2a).

Description

(1) The systems described in the present patent may be seen in the appended figures, wherein:

(2) the FIG. 1 illustrates an view of the upper part of the backside section of the cabinet;

(3) the FIG. 2 illustrates a view of the bottom part of the backside section of the cabinet;

(4) the FIG. 3 illustrates a view of the backside section mounting by fitting the upper and bottom parts one to another in one piece; the detailed view illustrates the fitting of predefined bends;

(5) the FIG. 4 illustrates a view of the left side section of the cabinet;

(6) the FIG. 5 illustrates a view of the right side section of the cabinet;

(7) the FIG. 6 illustrates a view of the sequence of the cabinet side mounting being positioned under the backside part; the detailed view illustrates the fitting of predefined bends;

(8) the FIG. 7 illustrates a view of side sections being fitted to the backside section;

(9) the FIG. 8 illustrates a view of the top or bottom part of the cabinet;

(10) the FIG. 9 illustrates a view of the sequence of the mounting of the upper or bottom part to the backside section lower part and to the side parts;

(11) the FIG. 10 illustrates a view of the sequence of the mounting of the top or bottom part to the upper part of the backside section and to the side parts viewed by another angle;

(12) the FIG. 11 illustrates a view of the sequence of the mounting of the top or bottom part to the upper part of the backside section and to the side parts;

(13) the FIG. 12 illustrates a view of the cabinet box mounted through the mounting sequence of the pieces fit, these pieces already fitted being not locked yet;

(14) the FIG. 13 illustrates a view of the cabinet box with the sequence of the mounting of the corners locking by bending the steel and forming the cabinet box stiff enough to receive the shelf and the doors.

(15) According to the FIGS. 1 to 3, the backside section (1) is bipartite, composed by upper part (1a) and lower part (1b), provided with slots (1c) at the lower and upper ends, the mounting sequence starting by fitting the upper part (1a) to the lower part (1b) in one piece, where the bend angled in 180 (1d) fits to the bend angled in 180 (1e), as Detail A. In FIG. 1, 1 designates an exemplary conventional mounting opening.

(16) According to the FIGS. 4 and 5, each side section (2) contains two tabs (2a) on the corners of its L-shaped lower bend angled in 90 (2c), and two main slots (2b) on the corner of its upper bend having a U-shaped bend (2d).

(17) According to the FIGS. 6 and 7, in the mounting sequence, when the side part (2) is positioned under the backside section (1), the tab (2a) will be placed under the slot (1c) at the four coincident corners, as illustrated in a corner of Detail B.

(18) According to the FIGS. 8 to 11, the cabinet top and/or bottom part (3) presents L-shaped side bend and lower bend angled in 90 (3a) and U-shaped upper bend (3b); the top/bottom part (3) is fitted to the upper section (1d) through its lower bend (3a) and to the side part (2b) through its L-shaped side bends and its U-shaped upper bend (3b).

(19) The mounting sequence of the cabinet box takes place by fitting the pieces still without the shelf and doors, these already fitted pieces being not locked yet, the lower bends (3a) of the top and bottom parts being fitted to the bends angled in 180 (1d) of the backside section (1) and of the side parts (2), as well as the U-shaped upper bends (3b) of the top and bottom parts will be fitted to the main slots (2b) of the side parts (2), the side parts (2) being fitted under the backside section (1), which also receives the top and bottom parts (3), resulting in the cabinet box.

(20) According to the FIGS. 12 and 13, at the four corners where the backside section (1) and the side part (2), and the top or bottom part (3) are fitted one to another, the pieces of the box will be locked, the locking started from manual bending of the tab (2a) being performed by bending the steel, thus forming the cabinet box to receive the shelf and the doors (not shown).
