Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of furniture accessories technology, specifically to a furniture anti-tipping device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, people use various types of furniture, such as cabinets, which serve storage or decorative purposes in the home. Most existing cabinets are placed against a wall. When the items inside cause the cabinet's center of gravity to become unstable, or when children climb on the cabinet, it is prone to tipping over, potentially injuring nearby people or damaging other furniture and items. To avoid this, additional anti-tipping structures can be used on the furniture.

[0003] For example, CN215076853U discloses a furniture anti-tipping device that uses two interlocking fixing parts. In this design, the fixing parts are glued to the wall and the back surface of the furniture, respectively. Each fixing part has a through hole allowing a fixing strap to pass through, and tightening the fixing strap quickly connects the wall and the furniture. However, because the adhesive method is not very secure and the fixing strap is prone to breakage, this anti-tipping device, while low in cost, lacks sufficient safety.

[0004] The anti-tipping device in CN216907337U consists of an L-shaped positioning plate and a connecting block. The L-shaped positioning plate is fixed to the lower corner of the furniture cabinet near the wall. A slot is formed in the center of the horizontal end face of the L-shaped positioning plate, and the connecting block is movably inserted into this slot. A connecting post is vertically fixed to the bottom outer end of the connecting block, and a fixing plate is located on the end face of the connecting post furthest from the connecting block. The fixing plate is fixedly adhered to the ground.

[0005] The solution in CN216907337U improves the anti-tipping effect, but it requires assembly on one side of the wall and has many accessories, making it less convenient. In addition, the adhesive of the fixing plate is prone to failure (and this is not easy to observe), so the cabinet still has the risk of tipping over, posing a significant safety hazard.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments in this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0041] refer to Figures 1 to 5 The furniture anti-tipping device provided in this embodiment mainly consists of a support mechanism 13 and a fastening mechanism 14. The support mechanism 13 includes a support body 1, which is horizontally positioned. The fastening mechanism 14 includes a fastening body 2 extending vertically upward along the support mechanism 13.

[0042] The fastening body 2 is provided with a first fastening part 3 and a second fastening part 4. The first fastening part 3 is used to fasten to the side of the furniture leg 5. The second fastening part 4 extends horizontally in the opposite direction to the supporting body 1 and is used to fasten to the bottom surface of the furniture leg 5. In this embodiment, the first fastening part 3 and the second fastening part 4 can be fastened to the furniture leg 5 by means of threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, riveting, etc.

[0043] The anti-tipping device in this embodiment has a simple main structure, is easy to assemble, and is simultaneously and securely connected to the sides and bottom of the furniture legs after assembly. Compared with existing adhesive-type anti-tipping devices or those only connected to one side of the furniture legs 5, the connection to the furniture legs 5 is more secure, effectively reducing the risk of furniture tipping over, and providing higher stability and safety. Furthermore, in the anti-tipping device of this embodiment, the vertical plane where the supporting body 1 is located and the horizontal plane where the fastening body 2 is located can form a right-angled "triangular structure", further increasing stability and reducing the risk of furniture tipping over.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the second fastening part 4 is higher than the plane containing the bottom surface of the supporting body 1. Furthermore, referring to... Figure 3 The fastening body 2, on the side used to connect with the side of the furniture leg 5, forms an inclined surface at the connection area with the bottom surface of the support body 1, sloping towards the support body 1. That is, after assembly with the furniture leg 5, a triangular through-hole area is formed between the furniture leg 5, the ground, and the anti-tipping device, further increasing stability.

[0045] In an exemplary structure of this embodiment, the first fastening part 3 has a first through hole 15 that allows a first fastener 6 to pass through. One end of the first fastener 6 is restricted outside the first through hole 15, and the other end passes through the first through hole 15 and is fastened to the side of the furniture leg 5. The first fastener 6 can be a bolt or a similar fastener. After the first fastener 6 passes through the first through hole 15 and the through hole in the furniture leg 5 in sequence, it is threaded to a nut on the other side of the furniture leg 5. After the nut is tightened, the first fastening part is fastened to the furniture leg 5. Furthermore, in order to strengthen the connection between the anti-tipping device and the furniture leg 5, the fastening body 2 can have several first through holes 15 that allow bolts to pass through, or it can have an elongated through hole that can accommodate multiple bolts at the same time.

[0046] In another exemplary structure of this embodiment, the second fastening part 4 may be configured as a square plate structure extending horizontally in the opposite direction to the support body 1 or any other structure that can assist in achieving the connection function. The square second fastening part 4 has a second through hole 16 that allows the second fastener 7 to pass through. One end of the second fastener 7 is restricted outside the second through hole 16, and the other end is fastened to the bottom surface of the furniture leg 5.

[0047] The second fastener 7 can also be a bolt or similar structure, and the bottom of the furniture leg 5 is connected to the second fastener 7 by a threaded connection. In the exemplary structure, the second fastener 7 passes through the second through hole 16 and continues into the connecting hole 17, which is set at the bottom of the furniture leg 5. The connecting hole 17 extends along the axial direction of the furniture leg 5 and has an internal thread that mates with the external thread on the surface of the second fastener 7. In this structure, since it is connected to the bottom of the furniture leg 5, the length of the second fastener 7 extending into the connecting hole 17 can be adjusted by rotating the second fastener 7, thereby adjusting the height of the leg off the ground. Since the bottom surface of the second fastener 7 is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the fastening body 2 after assembly (to ensure stability), the end of the second fastener 7 that is confined outside the second through hole 16 preferably has a relatively large surface area and a flat surface (the second fastener 7 is similar to an "adjusting pad" and can be connected to the bottom surface of each leg of the furniture).

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, to further increase the stability and strength of the furniture anti-tipping device, the two sides of the fastening body 2 can be connected to the sides of the supporting body 1 located on the same side via a first reinforcing member 8. In a more preferred embodiment, the surfaces of the fastening body 2 adjacent to the upper surface of the supporting body 1 are connected to the upper surface of the supporting body 1 via a second reinforcing member 9.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the first reinforcing member 8 is a triangular planar structure connecting the triangular region between the side of the fastening body 2 and the side of the supporting body 1, and the second reinforcing member 9 is an inclined planar structure. The first reinforcing member 8 and the second reinforcing member 9 are connected to each other.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the support body 1 is further provided with a transition section 10 extending from the end of the first reinforcing member 8 toward the end of the support body 1, and the end of the transition section 10 and the end of the support body 1 both show a trend of gradually decreasing height.

[0051] The size of the furniture anti-tipping device can be adjusted according to different usage scenarios and is not limited.

[0052] For example, the total length of the support body 1 of the furniture anti-tipping device in this embodiment can be set to 180mm (the vertical distance from the end of the support body 1 to the plane on the side of the fastening body 2 facing the furniture leg 5), and the total height of the fastening body 2 can be set to 100mm (the height of the fastening body 2 relative to the plane on the bottom surface of the support body 1).

[0053] The dimensions of the second fastening part 4, the first reinforcing member 8, and the transition section 10 can be adjusted according to the following proportions:

[0054] Taking the height of the fastening body 2 relative to the plane where the bottom of the supporting body 1 is located as 100 mm as an example:

[0055] The bottom surface of the second fastening part 4 is 12~15 mm higher than the plane where the bottom of the supporting body 1 is located;

[0056] The height of the highest point of the first reinforcing member 8 relative to the plane where the top of the transition section 10 is located is 25~35mm;

[0057] The height of the highest point of the transition section 10 relative to the plane containing the upper surface of the supporting body 1 is 2~3.5mm.

[0058] The above ratio ensures that the furniture anti-tipping device has optimal stability and anti-tipping effect.

[0059] In a more preferred embodiment, the support body 1 in this embodiment has an upwardly protruding reinforcing rib 11 in the middle to increase the strength of the anti-tipping device. Furthermore, to reduce material usage and weight, the bottom of the support body 1 and the side of the fastening body 2 facing the furniture leg 5 can be designed as a hollow structure, and mesh-like reinforcing ribs 12 can be provided at these two locations.

[0060] The assembly process of the furniture anti-tipping device in this embodiment can be referred to Figures 5 to 6 :

[0061] 1) Place the fastening body 2 of the furniture anti-tipping device close to the front side of the furniture legs 5 (preferably the two legs away from the wall);

[0062] 2) After the second fastener 7 passes through the second through hole 16 on the second fastening part 4, it continues to extend into the connecting hole 17 on the bottom surface of the furniture leg 5, and the external thread on the second fastener 7 is screwed into the internal thread on the connecting hole 17 on the bottom surface of the furniture leg 5, so as to realize the fastening connection between the second fastening part 4 and the furniture leg 5.

[0063] 3) After the first fastener 6 passes through the first through hole 15 of the first fastening part 3, it continues to pass through the through hole on the side of the furniture leg 5, and is threadedly connected to the nut on the other side of the furniture leg 5. After the nut is tightened, the fastening connection between the first fastening part 3 and the furniture leg 5 is achieved.

[0064] Furthermore, because a triangular hollow area is formed between the furniture leg 5, the ground, and the anti-tipping device, the height of the furniture leg 6 above the ground can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the second fastener 7 extending into the connecting hole 17 (at this time, the position of the furniture anti-tipping device relative to the furniture leg 5 also needs to be moved; for example, when the length of the second fastener 7 extending into the connecting hole 17 increases, since the bottom surface of the second fastener must always be on the same plane as the bottom surface of the fastening body 2, the furniture anti-tipping device needs to move upward along the furniture leg 5). This not only prevents the furniture from shaking due to uneven ground but also prevents the furniture from tipping over, further increasing the stability of the furniture on the ground. At this time, the first through hole 15 of the first fastening part 3 is set to be elongated, so that even if the anti-tipping device is moved up and down, the first fastening part 3 can always be connected to the side of the furniture leg 5 through the first fastener 6.

[0065] The embodiments and application examples described above are merely illustrative descriptions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit of this disclosure should fall within the protection scope defined by this disclosure.
