Joint for the firm interconnection of a first and a second panel of furniture and other furnishing items
View Patent ↗A joint for firmly interconnecting a first panel and a second panel of furniture and other furnishing items positioned perpendicular to each other is provided with at least one fixing element coupled to the first panel and includes a plurality of interconnection and blocking components for joining and firmly blocking the two panels together, wherein, in the joint, the plurality of components lie on the same plane, which is parallel and interspaced with respect to the first panel and perpendicular with respect to the second panel.
1. A joint adapted for use between a shelf and a shoulder of furniture and other furnishing items for firmly interconnecting said shelf and said shoulder positioned perpendicular to each other, comprising:
at least one fixing element configured to be fixed to said shelf; and
a plurality of interconnection and blocking components for joining and firmly blocking said shelf and said shoulder together,
wherein said shelf is parallel to a floor,
wherein said plurality of interconnection and blocking components lies on a same plane, which is parallel to the floor and interspaced with respect to said shelf and perpendicular with respect to said shoulder,
wherein said plurality of interconnection and blocking components is totally or at least partially contained in a container or at least partially associated with said container for joining and firmly blocking said shelf and said shoulder together, and
wherein said container is positioned beneath said shelf and activation of said plurality of interconnection and blocking components is effected in a front of the joint, the front of the joint being perpendicular to the floor.
2. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein, on said same plane, there is a first axis which forms a main axis or axis of the joint, and a second axis, which forms an activation axis of the joint, said first and said second axes being perpendicular to each other.
3. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein said shelf has at least one hole for receiving said at least one fixing element, which extends from said container.
4. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein said container has at least one hole for receiving a pin firmly positioned in a hole produced in said shoulder.
5. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of interconnection and blocking components of said joint comprises a grub screw inserted into a butt housed in a hole of the container of said joint associated with said shelf and said shoulder.
6. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of interconnection and blocking components of said joint comprises a screw or grub screw inserted in an internal threading of a hole of the container of said joint associated with said shelf and said shoulder.
7. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of interconnection and blocking components of said joint comprises a pin having one end housed in a first hole of the shoulder and another end housed in a second hole of the container, wherein said second hole is aligned with said first hole, both the first and the second holes being directed according to an axis, which forms a main axis or axis of the joint.
8. The joint according to claim 1 , wherein the joint is produced by a single element, positioned in a hole of the container, said container being in turn positioned between said shelf and said shoulder, wherein said single element contains joining mechanisms, a free end of said single element being inserted in a hole of the shoulder to be anchored therein, said single element being arranged according to a main axis of the joint and providing a screw, which activates said joining mechanisms arranged according to an activation axis.
