CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT APPLIED TO A SUPPORT FOR REINFORCEMENT OF FURNITURE LEGS

Abstract

A reinforcement support for the legs of furniture pieces such as chairs, beds, tables, cabinets, shelves, among others, to provide greater strength to the legs of the piece of furniture, resulting in a longer useful life of the piece and in the reduction of much of the instability, providing greater safety for the user. The constructive arrangement of the present model comprises a support preferably with a square-shaped structure, which is fitted to the legs of the furniture to provide reinforcement to the legs and ensure that the same do not wobble when weight is applied to the furniture. The support is fitted to the legs of the piece of furniture preferably by using fastening element applied to the fitting sleeves located at the vertices of the structure of the support, which guarantees the stability of the piece of furniture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] The present model aims at providing a reinforcement support for the legs of furniture pieces such as chairs, beds, tables, cabinets, shelves, among others, in order to provide greater strength to the legs of the piece of furniture, resulting in a longer useful life of the piece and a reduction in much of the instability, thus providing greater safety for the user.

[0019] The constructive arrangement of the present model comprises a support (1) preferably with a square-shaped structure, but may also include other shapes such as rectangular, circular, U-shaped or any other shape.

[0020] The support (1) is fitted to the legs (3) of the furniture in order to provide reinforcement to the legs and ensure that the same do not wobble when weight is applied to the furniture.

[0021] The support can be fitted to the furniture legs by simply inserting the leg (3) of the piece of furniture into the fitting sleeve (2) of the support, located at each of the vertices of the structure of the support (1), which ensures the stability of the furniture. However, optionally, after inserting the legs (3) of the furniture into the fitting sleeves (2) of the support (1), the fitting between the support and the furniture leg can be reinforced by using any means of fastening such as welding, glue, rivets or screws, which penetrate the sleeve (2) of the support (1) and the leg (3), joining both.

[0022] Thus, the support (1) connects to the legs (3) of the piece of furniture internally, that is, in such a way as to internally outline the perimeter defined by the furniture legs.

[0023] It is also important to mention that, in addition to providing strength to the furniture legs, the constructive arrangement of the present model also has the advantage of allowing the support (1) to be replaced easily.

[0024] Obviously, variations in shape, without changing the technical-functional unit, must also be contemplated within the scope of the present utility model. In other words, the support (1) does not necessarily need to have cylindrical edges, which may be prismatic, for example. The same applies to the shape of the fitting sleeves (2) of the support (1).

[0025] In addition, the support (1) may also contemplate the absence of one of the edges, resulting in a U-shape.
