Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a component for furniture assembly, and in particular to a universal detachable fastener. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, modular furniture has gradually become a mainstream choice for consumers, especially furniture assembled from large panels. The detachable nature of modular furniture saves space during transportation and reduces handling costs. Furthermore, consumers can customize the furniture to their liking, creating a desired aesthetic. Therefore, modular furniture offers greater freedom in interior design compared to traditional furniture that is pre-assembled during manufacturing.

[0003] However, assembling modular furniture requires users to have all the necessary tools and carefully read the instructions to determine the correct component order, making the process quite complex and tedious. Furthermore, if the components don't have pre-drilled holes for screws, consumers need to spend extra time drilling, further increasing the time and effort required. Additionally, existing modular furniture is usually difficult to disassemble after assembly, leading to situations where relocation is difficult due to limited space, often resulting in the furniture being discarded, thus reducing its reusability. Moreover, the difficulty in disassembling existing modular furniture means that in case of partial damage or a need for style changes, the entire set must be replaced, lacking the flexibility of individual piece repair or replacement. Therefore, existing technology still has shortcomings that need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar elements are represented by the same reference numerals in the following description.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of this universal detachable fastener is suitable for connecting two plates 4 with multiple fixing holes (not shown in the figure), and includes two main body parts 1 and two detachable connecting parts 2 simultaneously disposed on the main body parts 1. It should be noted that this first embodiment only describes the assembly method with two main body parts 1. However, in actual sales, manufacturers can freely combine several plates 4 and several of this first embodiment for consumers to choose according to their own needs.

[0027] Each of the body components 1 defines a first receiving groove 10 extending along a first axis X, and includes a connecting wall 11 for connecting a plate 4, an insert plate 12 facing outward away from the plate 4, two fixing posts 14 disposed on the connecting wall 11 and protruding in a direction away from the connecting wall 11, and a screw hole 15 extending from the insert plate 12 to the connecting wall 11.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that, in this first embodiment, the embedding plate 12 of each of the main body components 1 is connected to the connecting wall 11, and the embedding plate 12 is inclined relative to the connecting wall 11, so that the cross section of the main body component 1 along the second axis Y perpendicular to the first axis X is an isosceles right triangle. The fixing post 14 of each of the main body components 1 is adapted to extend through any of the fixing holes of the plate 4, thereby fixing the plate 4 to the main body component 1, and can be screwed onto the plate 4 by extending through the screw hole 15 with a screw. The main body component 1 extending through the fixing hole with the fixing post 14 can enhance the stability of the assembly when assembled with a single screw. In addition, this first embodiment is applicable to the installation on the plate 4 made of materials such as medium density fiberboard, wood core board or foam board, as long as the weight of a single plate 4 is less than 3 kg, it can be assembled with each other by this first embodiment.

[0029] Each of the embedded plates 12 has a first middle section 121 defining a first main opening 1210 communicating with the first receiving groove 10, and two first side sections 122 respectively connected to opposite ends of the first middle section 121. Each first side section 122 defines a first secondary opening 1220 communicating with the first receiving groove 10 and the first main opening 1210. The first side section 122 has two first abutment areas 1221 respectively located on opposite sides of the corresponding first secondary opening 1220 along the second axis Y. The width of the first secondary opening 1220 along the second axis Y is smaller than the width of the first main opening 1210 along the second axis Y.

[0030] The connecting member 2 is detachably and simultaneously disposed in the first receiving groove 10 of the main body 1. Each connecting member 2 includes a connecting section 21 that can be positioned on the same side of the first secondary opening 1220, and two fitting sections 22 that are spaced apart from each other and connected to opposite sides of the connecting section 21. When each connecting member 2 is disposed in the corresponding first receiving groove 10, the width of each fitting section 22 along the second axis Y is greater than the width of the first secondary opening 1220 along the second axis Y, and the fitting section 22 is used to cooperate in clamping the first abutting area 1221 located on the same side when the connecting section 21 is positioned in the first secondary opening 1220.

[0031] The assembly of this first embodiment is as follows: Figure 2As presented, the user can pre-fix the main body 1 to the plate 4. After the main body 1 is fixed, both connecting parts 2 can be initially set in the first main opening 1210 of the main body 1. Each connecting part 2 can move from the position of the first main opening 1210 along the first axis X toward one of the first secondary openings 1220, so that the connecting parts 2 are pre-positioned on the main body 1 at the first secondary openings 1220 on different sides. Next, with the main body 1 misaligned, the exposed fitting sections 22 of the connecting parts 2 are allowed to extend from the opposite first main openings 1210 to different first receiving grooves 10, thereby making the mounting plates 12 overlap each other vertically. Finally, the main body 1 can be pulled along opposite directions along the first axis X, thereby moving the connecting parts 2 from the position of the first main opening 1210 to the position of the first secondary opening 1220 where the connecting parts 2 are not yet set, thus completing the assembly of the main body 1.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this first embodiment, after the main body 1 is assembled, the embedded plate 12 is inclined relative to the corresponding connecting wall 11 and is stacked on top of each other with its top and bottom aligned. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the main body 1, the stress can be dispersed along the inclined structure, thereby reducing the risk of breakage after being subjected to external force. At the same time, since the cross-section of each main body 1 is an isosceles right triangle, the angle between each connecting wall 11 and each embedded plate 12 is 45°. Therefore, when the main body 1 is assembled in reverse along opposite directions on the first axis X, the embedded plate 12 can still maintain its top and bottom alignment and stacking, allowing the plate 4 to be selected horizontally (refer to...). Figure 3 ) or vertical (see Figure 4 The angle connection is as follows. In addition, after the main body 1 is assembled, it can be repainted to match the color and texture of the plate 4, so that the appearance of the main body 1 and the plate 4 are consistent, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

[0033] See Figure 5 Cooperate Figure 1The second embodiment of the universal detachable fastener of this utility model has a structure that is largely the same as the first embodiment, but differs in that each body component 1 further includes a reinforcing enclosure 13 connecting the embedded plate 12 and the connecting wall 11, so that the embedded plate 12 and the connecting wall 11 are spaced apart, and the cross section of the body component 1 along the second axis Y is trapezoidal. The assembly method of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, in which the body components 1 are assembled together by the connecting member 2 extending through and being positioned at the first secondary opening 1220. In the second embodiment, each body component 1 extends the distance between the embedded plate 12 and the connecting wall 11 through the reinforcing enclosure 13, thereby extending the overall length of the plate 4 when connected.

[0034] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 and cooperate Figure 1 The third embodiment of the universal detachable fastener of this utility model has a structure that is largely the same as the first embodiment, but differs in that it further includes an extension 3 for cooperating with multiple connecting parts 2 and assembling the main body 1. The extension 3 defines two spaced-apart second receiving grooves 30 extending parallel to the first axis X, and includes two connected extension plates 31 respectively disposed outside the corresponding second receiving grooves 30 and opposite to each other. Each extension plate 31 has a second middle section 311 defining a second main opening 3110 communicating with the corresponding second receiving groove 30, and two second side sections 312 respectively connected to opposite ends of the second middle section 311. Each second side section 312 defines a second secondary opening 3120 communicating with the second receiving groove 30 and the second main opening 3110. The second side section 312 has two second abutting areas 3121 respectively located in the corresponding second secondary openings 3120 and substantially equal to the first abutting area 1221. The widths of the second main opening 3110 and the second secondary opening 3120 along the second axis Y are substantially equal to the widths of the first main opening 1210 and the first secondary opening 1220 along the second axis Y, respectively. Each of the connecting segments 21 can be positioned at the first secondary opening 1220 of the body 1 and the second secondary opening 3120 of the extension 3 on the same side. The fitting segments 22 are respectively inserted into the first receiving groove 10 of the body 1 and the second receiving groove 30 of the extension 3, and cooperate to clamp the first blocking area 1221 and the second blocking area 3121 located on the same side.

[0035] The assembly method between each of the main body component 1 and the extension component 3 via the connecting component 2 is as follows: Figure 7The assembly method is roughly the same as that between the main body components 1. Specifically, the two connecting parts 2 can be first disposed on the first main opening 1210 of one of the main body components 1 and the second main opening 3110 of the extension 3, respectively. Then, they can be moved from the first main opening 1210 and the second main opening 3110 in opposite directions along the first axis X toward the first secondary opening 1220 and the second secondary opening 3120, respectively, and positioned on different sides of the first secondary opening 1220 and the second secondary opening 3120. Next, the main body component 1 and the extension 3 are misaligned so that the exposed fitting section 22 of the connecting part 2 extends into the first receiving groove 10 and the second receiving groove 30, thereby making the fitting plate 12 and the extension plate 31, which have the connecting part 2 disposed on, overlap each other vertically and aligned with each other. Finally, the body component 1 and the extension component 3 can be pulled in the opposite direction along the first axis X, thereby moving one of the connecting components 2 from the position of the first main opening 1210 to the position of the first secondary opening 1220 where the connecting component 2 is not yet installed, and the other connecting component 2 from the position of the second main opening 3110 to the position of the second secondary opening 3120 where the connecting component 2 is not yet installed, thus completing the assembly of one body component 1 and the extension component 3. By repeating the above steps, the assembly of the body component 1 and the extension component 3 can be completed.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this third embodiment, the assembly of the main body 1 and the extension 3 is performed. Compared with the second embodiment, the assembly length of the main body 1 can be extended, thereby allowing the user to dynamically adjust the length of the assembled board 4 according to the actual space size.

[0037] In summary, the first to third embodiments of the universal detachable fastener of this utility model, by respectively setting the main body component 1 on the plate 4, allow the use of the connecting component 2 to achieve the purpose of safely and quickly connecting the plate 4 by assembling and fixing the main body component 1 together without tools. Furthermore, depending on the size of the placement space, this utility model can also choose to assemble the main body component 1 with the reinforced enclosure 13 together, or assemble the main body component 1 through the extension component 3, thereby extending the assembly length of the final product. Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is indeed achieved.
