Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a structure for assembled furniture, and more particularly to a structure for assembled furniture that can be manufactured in various different forms and can be firmly maintained in an assembled state. Background Technology

[0002] Generally speaking, furniture such as bookshelves or storage cabinets are manufactured and assembled into a certain form. However, when users get tired of them or a part of them is damaged, it is usually necessary to discard the entire piece of furniture and buy a brand new one. This not only leads to a waste of resources but also to excessive expenses.

[0003] To address the problems described above, Korean Patent No. 10-2058363 (hereinafter referred to as the "Referenced Invention") discloses a technique for assembling various types of furniture by creating multiple standardized blocks. The assembly blocks disclosed in Referenced Invention 1 are formed with a structure similar to or the same as Lego, allowing for vertical assembly using multiple insert protrusions formed on the upper part. Specifically, in the vertically assembled assembly blocks, the insert protrusions formed on the upper part of the lower assembly block are inserted into the lower insert groove formed in the upward-facing direction on the upper assembly block 1 at positions corresponding to the insert protrusions formed on the upper part.

[0004] When assembling furniture using the embedded blocks described above, the blocks are simply inserted into each other, resulting in lower sturdiness. Furthermore, when the upper and lower assembled blocks are joined together, the upper and lower embedded protrusions will be in the same position, making it difficult to fix them with bolts or similar fasteners. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical issues

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the existing problems as described above, and its purpose is to provide a structure for assembled furniture that can be easily fixed between stacked blocks using bolts or similar means, thereby creating a variety of different types of assembled furniture.

[0007] Technical Solutions

[0008] To achieve the objectives described above, the modular furniture structure of the present invention includes: a main block, which is constructed in a rod-like shape and arranged laterally, having a first connecting protrusion formed on its upper side and a first connecting groove formed in a shape corresponding to the first connecting protrusion on its bottom surface; the main block has a first connecting groove formed on one side of the location where the first connecting protrusion is formed, and at least one first connecting protrusion and at least one first connecting groove are alternately formed, thereby stacking multiple main blocks in such a way that the first connecting protrusion is embedded in the first connecting groove.

[0009] In addition, it also includes: a fixing bolt, which, while penetrating the upper side of the main block corresponding to the first joint groove, is fastened to the first joint protrusion embedded in the first joint groove; the main block has a receiving groove recessed on the upper side of the main block corresponding to the first joint groove for receiving the head of the fixing bolt inside, thereby preventing the head of the fixing bolt from protruding from the upper side of the main block.

[0010] In addition, it may include: an auxiliary fastening component, including a second connecting protrusion portion having the same shape as the first connecting protrusion and located on the upper side of the main block, and a second pin portion extending downward from the second connecting protrusion portion to pass through a fixing hole through which a fixing bolt can pass.

[0011] In addition, it may include: a tailing block, which has a third engaging groove corresponding to the first engaging protrusion recessed in its bottom surface, or a third engaging hole corresponding to the first engaging protrusion formed through it.

[0012] In addition, it may include a base plate, which can be stacked on top of the plurality of main blocks while they are fixed.

[0013] Effects of the Invention

[0014] In this invention, multiple main blocks can be stacked one on top of the other in such a way that the first connecting protrusion is embedded in the first connecting groove, thereby producing a variety of different shapes of assembled furniture. Moreover, by alternately forming at least one first connecting protrusion and at least one connecting groove on the main blocks, they can be stacked in an alternating manner, thereby ensuring their sturdiness.

[0015] At the same time, the fixing bolt can be fastened to the first engagement protrusion embedded in the first engagement groove without the head protruding from the upper side of the main block. Therefore, even with a shorter fixing bolt, a second fixation can be achieved, thereby further improving its robustness.

[0016] Furthermore, by adding auxiliary fastening components, finishing blocks, and base plates, more modular furniture in various forms can be manufactured. Attached Figure Description

[0027] In this invention, a structure for assembled furniture is proposed to facilitate easy fixing between stacked blocks using bolts or similar means, thereby creating various types of assembled furniture. The structure includes: a main block, constructed in a rod-like shape and arranged laterally, with a first connecting protrusion protruding from its upper side and a first connecting groove corresponding to the first connecting protrusion forming its bottom surface; the main block having a first connecting groove formed on one side where the first connecting protrusion is located, and alternatingly forming at least one first connecting protrusion and at least one first connecting groove, thereby stacking multiple main blocks such that the first connecting protrusion is embedded in the first connecting groove.

[0028] The scope of this invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications to this invention without departing from its technical essence.

[0029] Next, please refer to Figures 1 to 13 The modular furniture structure of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0030] The modular furniture structure of the present invention may include main blocks (100) formed by stacking multiple blocks along a configured direction, such as a base plate and wall panels.

[0031] Main block (100) as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it is constructed in a rod-like shape and arranged horizontally. As an example, it can be formed in a square column shape and arranged horizontally. On the upper side of the main block (100) arranged horizontally as described above, a first connecting protrusion (110) is formed. The first connecting protrusion (110) can be formed in various shapes, but it is preferable to form it in a columnar shape with a diameter (width) smaller than the width of the main block (100) and a height smaller than the height of the main block (100). The first connecting protrusion (110) described above can be formed at least one, and if multiple protrusions are formed, they can be formed at certain intervals along the length direction of the main block (100).

[0032] Furthermore, on the bottom surface of the main block (100), a first engaging groove (120) is formed recessed upwards, with a shape corresponding to the first engaging protrusion (110). In particular, in this invention, the first engaging groove (120) is formed on the side where the first engaging protrusion (110) is formed, and as... Figure 1 As shown, at least one first bonding protrusion (110) and at least one first bonding groove (120) are alternately formed on the main block (100).

[0033] The first connecting protrusion (110) and the first connecting groove (120) can be formed in the same number, or in a combination of one and more. However, in the main blocks (100) that occupy a large number of parts when forming the base plate and wall panel of furniture, it is preferable that the first connecting protrusion (110) and the first connecting groove (120) are formed in the same number. As an example, two first connecting protrusions (110) and two first connecting grooves (120) can be alternately formed in the main block (100).

[0034] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the main block (100) described above can be stacked in multiple layers with the first connecting protrusion (110) embedded into the first connecting groove (120), so that it can be used to form base plates and wall panels when making various types of assembled furniture. Moreover, in the process of stacking multiple layers, they can be stacked in an interlaced manner to ensure its sturdiness.

[0035] Multiple main blocks (100) stacked vertically as described above can form an initial fixing force through forced insertion between the first engaging protrusion (110) and the first engaging groove (120). To further enhance the fixing force, the upper main block (110) and the adjacent lower main block (100) can be joined by bolts. As an example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention may also include a fixing bolt (10) that passes through the upper side of the main block (120) corresponding to the first connecting groove (120) and is fastened to the first connecting protrusion (110) embedded in the first connecting groove (120).

[0036] At this time, a receiving groove (130) for receiving the head of the fixing bolt (10) can be recessed into the upper side of the main block (100) corresponding to the first engaging groove (120), and a fixing hole (140) for the fixing bolt (10) to pass through can be formed in the center of the receiving groove (130). It is preferable that the receiving groove (130) is formed in such a way that the head of the fixing bolt (10) used to engage between the upper and lower stacked main blocks (100) does not protrude from the upper side of the upper main block (100), thereby allowing the upper and lower stacked main blocks (100) to be tightly fitted and engaged with each other. In addition, at the position corresponding to the fixing hole (140), that is, at the center of the first engaging protrusion (110), a fastening hole (111) for the fixing bolt (10) to be fastened can be formed along the length direction, and the fixing bolt (10) can be threaded into the fastening hole (111).

[0037] Therefore, the length of the fixing bolt (10) used can be less than the height of the first connecting protrusion (110), and with the first connecting protrusion (110) formed on the lower main block (100) embedded in the first connecting groove (120) formed on the upper main block (100), it penetrates the upper side of the upper main block (100) and is fastened to the first connecting protrusion (110) inserted into the first connecting groove (120), so that even with a shorter fixing bolt (10), a second fixing can be achieved.

[0038] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main block (100) can be recessed at the bottom surface position corresponding to the first engaging protrusion (110) to form an auxiliary engaging groove (150) with a shape corresponding to the first engaging protrusion (110). The auxiliary engaging groove (150) can be used to engage the main block (100) with the auxiliary fastening component (200) and the base block (600) described later.

[0039] Furthermore, in the process of making furniture of various shapes, another main block (100) having the first connecting groove (120) formed in one main block (100) can be stacked on the upper side of the position where the first connecting groove (120) is formed. In order to firmly fix one main block (100) to another main block (100), the present invention may also include an auxiliary fastening component (200).

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, as an example of an auxiliary fastening component (200), it may include: a second engaging protrusion (210) configured in the same shape as the first engaging protrusion (110) and located on the upper side of the main block (100); and a second pin (220) extending downward from the second engaging protrusion (210) to penetrate the fixing hole (140). For example, the auxiliary fastening component (200) may be installed such that the second engaging protrusion (210) protrudes from the upper side of one main block (100) while the second pin (220) penetrates the fixing hole (140) formed on one main block (100), thereby allowing the first engaging groove (120) of another main block (199) to engage with the second engaging protrusion (210).

[0041] In this invention, when multiple main blocks (100) are stacked to form the base plate and wall panel of furniture, the first connecting protrusion (110) of the uppermost main block (100) protrudes from the upper side of the main block (100) to achieve a neat appearance, such as... Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, it may also include a finishing block (300) and / or a finishing plate (400).

[0042] As an example of the finishing block (300), it is constructed in a rod-like shape and arranged laterally, and preferably formed with the same width as the main block (100). As an example of the finishing block (300) as described above, it is only necessary to construct it with the upper side flat and form a third joint groove corresponding to the first joint protrusion (110) in the bottom surface, so that the first joint protrusion (110) of the main block (100) located on the lower side of the finishing block (300) is embedded in the third joint groove of the finishing block (300), which can make the appearance more beautiful.

[0043] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, as another example of the finishing block (300), a third connecting hole (310) corresponding to the first connecting protrusion (110) can be formed through it. When the first connecting protrusion (110) of the main block (100) located on the lower side of the finishing block (300) is inserted into the third connecting hole (310), the upper side of the first connecting protrusion (110) will be exposed to the outside, so the finishing plate (400) can be connected to the upper side of the finishing block (300). At this time, the finishing block (300) is formed with a height greater than that of the first connecting protrusion (110), so that a connecting space is formed that allows the finishing plate (400) to be connected to the upper end of the third connecting hole (310) when the first connecting protrusion (110) is inserted into the third connecting hole (310).

[0044] As an example of a finishing plate (400), the finishing block (300) can be formed in a plate-like shape with corresponding length and width, and a fourth engaging protrusion (410) can be formed on the bottom surface for insertion into the upper end of the third engaging hole (310). Thus, as Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the finishing block (300) can be assembled onto the top of the uppermost main block (100) in the stacked main block (100), and then the finishing plate (400) can be attached to the top of the finishing block (300), thereby making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, in order to facilitate easy assembly by the user without having to distinguish between the upper and lower sides, fourth joining protrusions (410) can be formed on both sides of the finishing block (300).

[0045] Furthermore, in order to produce various types of modular furniture, the present invention may also include a base plate (400) for stacking multiple main blocks (100). For example... Figure 7As shown, the base plate (400) can be formed in a plate-like shape, and can be stacked on top of multiple main blocks (100) in a fixed state, and can be formed with through holes for bolt fixing of the blocks. The main blocks (100) can be directly fixed to the base plate (400), or indirectly fixed through the base blocks (600).

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the base block (600) is constructed in a rod-like shape and arranged laterally, and preferably has the same width as the main block (100). As described above, the base block (600) may have a fifth connecting protrusion protruding from its upper side to connect with the main block (100), and may have a threaded groove formed from its bottom surface upwards for fastening bolts to connect with the base plate (400). At this time, multiple fifth connecting protrusions (610) may be formed adjacent to each other along the length direction to securely fix the main block (100), and multiple connecting protrusions (610) may be respectively embedded in the first connecting groove (120) and the auxiliary connecting groove (150) of the main block (100).

[0047] Furthermore, while the perforated base board (400) can be used as a base or wall panel for furniture, depending on the purpose of the furniture and the type of items to be stored, using the perforated base board (400) as a base or wall panel may cause inconvenience such as foreign matter entering. Therefore, Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the present invention may further include a support plate (800) covering the upper side of the base plate (400), and may further include a support block (700) for fixing the support plate (800) to the base plate (400).

[0048] First, the support block (700) can be formed in a horizontally arranged rod-like form or a plate-like form of a certain thickness. Furthermore, to engage with the base plate (400), a threaded groove for fastening bolts can be formed from the bottom surface upwards. As described above, the support block (700) can also connect multiple base plates (400) arranged on the same plane. In addition, to engage with the support plate (800), a sixth engaging groove (710) can be recessed into the upper side surface of the support block (700). The support plate (800) can be formed in a plate-like form, and to engage with the support block (700), a seventh engaging protrusion (810) can be formed on the bottom surface, forcibly embedded into the sixth engaging groove (710).

[0049] Furthermore, to install components such as support legs (20), modular furniture can be created by connecting two base plates (500) in a perpendicular manner. For this purpose, such as... Figure 11 as well as Figure 12As shown, the present invention may further include a connecting block (900) for connecting two base plates (500) arranged in a perpendicularly intersecting manner. As an example, the connecting block (900) may be constructed in a rod-like form and arranged laterally, and may have threaded holes for bolting formed on one side of the connecting block (500) and on the other side of the connecting block (500). The threaded holes may be formed not only in a groove form but also in a hole form. Furthermore, the connecting block (900) may additionally have threaded holes for bolting formed at at least one end of its length. Furthermore, threaded holes for bolting to the two base plates (500) arranged in a perpendicularly intersecting manner may also be formed on the main block (100), the tail block (300), and the base block (600) as described above.

[0050] The invention described in this application is as follows: Figure 13 As shown, various types of modular furniture can be made by adding auxiliary fastening components (200), finishing blocks (300), finishing plates (400), base plates (500), base blocks (600), support blocks (700), support plates (800), and connecting blocks (900) to the main block (100).
