Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a wall-mounting assembly for cladding panels for interior furnishing, that is for creating a boiserie. A mounting assembly according to the present invention is also suitable for wall-mounting a suspended furniture for creating boiserie furnishing compositions.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In order to provide an essentially continuous cladding wall for interior furnishing, commonly referred to as boiserie, one has to constrain a plurality of cladding panels that are superimposed and / or arranged adjacent to a support structure, such as for example a wall.

[0003] Conventionally, such operation is carried out by anchoring the panels to the support wall using special dowels; however, such operation requires to carry out a plurality of drilling operations on the support wall with high precision, requiring rather long operating times. Furthermore, in most cases, the support walls have unevenness such that the formation of a cladding wall in which all panels lie on the same plane is complicated.

[0004] Assemblies for the wall-mounting of panels adapted to quicken the operations for installing and making the cladding wall are known. For example, document WO2010 / 065034 shows an assembly for mounting cladding walls which comprises at least one upright fixed on a wall using at least one fixing bracket provided with an elongated slot which allows to adjust the lateral position thereof with respect to the wall. On the upright there are fixed, suitably spaced apart, several mounting brackets, each formed by an angular metal element. An adjustment screw extends through each engagement bracket so that the rotations thereof allow the adjustment of the vertical position of the panel with respect to the support wall. The in-depth adjustment of the position of the panel is carried out by modifying the engagement point of the mounting brackets on the upright, provided with slotted openings for the purpose.

[0005] Document US2024 / 044146A1 discloses an assembly corresponding to the preamble of claim 1. Another relevant assembly is known from US2015 / 345152A1.

[0006] Although such assembly allows to reduce the installation times, it still requires to carry out several adjustments before mounting the panels, which must be carried out through successive attempts until reaching the correct position.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The main task of the subject matter of the present invention is to provide an assembly for mounting panels on a support structure, such as a wall, for creating boiserie compositions that allows to quicken and facilitate panel mounting operations.

[0008] In the context of the present task, an object of the present invention to provide an assembly for mounting wall panels that allows to limit the drilling on the support wall and that requires simple processing operations on the panels.

[0009] Another object of the present invention to provide an assembly for mounting wall panels which allows to precisely and easily adjust the position of the individual panels with respect to the support wall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The present invention relates to a mounting assembly 1 adapted to allow the mounting on a support structure W, such as a wall, of panels P, such as in particular cladding panels for interior furnishing for creating a boiserie, and / or of suspended furniture for creating a boiserie composition 100 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0017] With reference to FIG. 2, there is shown a mounting assembly 1 according to the present invention, which comprises at least one pair of uprights 10, each formed by a preferably metal section having a main extension along an axis, which can be constrained to a wall W in a vertical direction so as to be parallel and suitably spaced to allow the mounting of at least one panel P between them, and advantageously at least one pair of panels P which are vertically superimposed and preferably defining an assembly gap G with said wall W.

[0018] Said uprights 10 comprise a fixing portion 11, lying on a first plane and adapted to be placed on the wall W, and at least one flange 12, protruding laterally from said fixing portion 11 and lying on a second plane, parallel to said first plane, to define a first undercut 14 (FIG. 3) forming, in use, first gap G1 with the wall W.

[0019] Said fixing portion 11 is advantageously provided with at least one pair of first holes 11A, and preferably with a plurality of first holes, so that it can be fixed to said wall W through first fixing means 111, such as for example conventional wall screws.

[0020] Said assembly 1 further comprises a plurality of mounting devices 30 which can be constrained to a first surface P1 of said panel P facing, in use, towards said wall W, and a plurality of support elements 20, preferably made of polymeric material, which can be fixed on said uprights 10 and adapted to cooperate at least with said mounting devices 30 to mount the panel P to the relative upright 10, 10', and therefore in use suspend it on said wall W.

[0021] In particular, in order to obtain the mounting of a panel P on a wall W through an assembly 1, at least one pair of support elements 20 are fixed on different uprights 10 essentially at the same height, and pairs of mounting devices 30 are constrained to the rear surface P1 of a panel P, preferably at or in the proximity of opposite top corner portions thereof.

[0022] Advantageously, said assembly 1 may also comprise a plurality of thrust elements 40, each of which can be constrained to the rear surface P1 of a panel P, preferably at or in the proximity of opposite lower corner portions thereof, to maintain the verticality of the panel P once mounted on said pair of uprights 10 by engaging said mounting devices 30 with corresponding support elements 20.

[0023] Preferably, as explained in greater detail below, also said thrust elements 40 cooperate with corresponding support elements 20 to retain the panel P anchored to the relative pair of uprights 10.

[0024] Advantageously, said panel P may be a cladding panel or a panel forming the back of a hanging container furniture.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in figures 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D, each of said support elements 20 comprises a body portion 21, advantageously essentially parallelepiped-shaped, adapted to be received in said first gap G1 and constrained to said at least one flange 12 of an upright 10 through second fixing means 112 comprising at least one screw, and preferably a pair of screws, extending along axes essentially orthogonal to said wall W, and a support portion 22, protruding laterally from said body portion 21 and defining at least one first engagement seat 23 adapted to be engaged by an anchoring element 32 of a mounting device 30, and comprising at least one first support surface 23A lying, in use, on a plane essentially orthogonal to said wall W.

[0026] Advantageously, each of said support elements 20 can be constrained to the relative upright 10 by positioning said body portion 21 in the first gap G1 formed by the first undercut 14 provided for between the fixing portion 11 and flange 12 so that said support portion 22 protrudes laterally with respect to the flange 12 of the upright 10 on which the support element 20 is mounted. This allows to reduce the space required between the panel P and the wall W.

[0027] Conveniently, said flange 12 comprises a first plurality of coupling holes 12A, preferably extending along the entire extension of the upright 10, advantageously aligned and spaced apart one from the subsequent one by a first pitch A1; each of said body portions 21 of said support elements 20 comprises a second plurality of coupling holes 21A, aligned and spaced apart by a second pitch A2, advantageously sub-multiple of said first pitch A1, so as to allow said second fixing means 112 to pass through solely in given positions, therefore facilitating the correct positioning of the support elements 20 on the uprights 10 in determined positions.

[0028] Preferably, each of said mounting devices 30 comprises a mounting body 31, adapted to be placed with a support surface 31A on a first surface P1 of said panel P, and constrained therein using conventional fixing means (not shown), and an anchoring element 32, which preferably comprises, or is formed by, a pin protruding laterally from said mounting body 31 and extending along a first axis X-X vertical in use, adapted to be received, at least with a first end portion 32A, in an engagement seat 23 of one of said support elements 20 and abutting against said first support surface 23A so as to discharge thereon, and therefore on the relative upright 10, the weight of the panel P, as shown in FIG. 10.

[0029] Advantageously, said first engagement seat 23 also comprises a first retaining wall 23B which rises orthogonally with respect to said first support surface 23A, on the side of said support surface 23A spaced apart, in use, from the wall W, and also advantageously a second retaining wall 23C, connected to the first retaining wall 23B, and which extends laterally with respect to the latter along a plane essentially transversal to the wall in use, to substantially form a sort of "pocket" into which there is inserted the first end portion 32A of said anchoring pin 32, and defining safety stop ends for possible lateral displacements of the panel P when mounted.

[0030] Advantageously, said support portion 22 also define21As a second engagement seat 23', whose shape and size is essentially identical to said first engagement seat 23 and arranged symmetrically with respect to the latter with respect to a horizontal plane in use, formed by a second support surface 23A' lying on a plane essentially orthogonal to the wall W in use, and preferably also by a first retaining wall 23B' that is essentially coplanar to the first retaining wall 23B of the first engagement seat 23, and a second retaining wall 23C' that is essentially coplanar to the second retaining wall 23C of the first engagement seat 23.

[0031] Providing said second engagement seat 23' allows the support element 20 to be mounted inverted by 180°, so that it can be used indistinctively on flanges 12 extending to the right or to the left with respect to the fixing portion 11, therefore allowing to provide and stock a single model of support elements 20 and simplifying the mounting thereof on the uprights 10.

[0032] As better observed in FIG. 4B, the support surface 23A of said engagement seat 23 is advantageously shaped so as to form a recess 24 arranged on the side adapted to be abutted against said wall W, adapted to create, in use, a second gap G2.

[0033] Said mounting devices 30 may be known and conventional hangers for furniture. According to an advantageous feature of the present invention, said mounting devices 30 are preferably configured to allow the adjustment of the position of the panel P. To this end, said anchoring elements 32 of said mounting devices 30 are operatively connected to corresponding adjustment means and members for adjusting, in use, the position of the panel P with respect to said support structure W.

[0034] Described below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9B is a mounting device 30 whose use is particularly advantageous in a mounting assembly 1 according to the present invention.

[0035] Preferably, said mounting device 30 comprises at least a first adjustment member 39 adapted to allow the adjustment of the position of the panel P with respect to the wall W in a first direction D1 parallel to said wall W and essentially vertical.

[0036] Advantageously, said first adjustment member 39 is operatively associated with said anchoring element 32 and it is configured to displace the latter along said first axis X-X.

[0037] Preferably, said first adjustment member 39 is formed by a pin, which also extends along said first axis X-X and connected to the end of said anchoring element 32 opposite to the first end portion 32A. Preferably, said first adjustment pin 39 and said anchoring pin 32 are obtained as single piece.

[0038] Said first adjustment pin 39 comprises an at least partially threaded stem 39A and an operating head 39B arranged at a second end portion, and it is housed in first seat 33, advantageously threaded internally, connected to said mounting body 31 and extending along said first axis X-X between a top opening 33A and an outlet opening 33B from which there protrudes at least the first end portion 32A of the anchoring element 32.

[0039] In particular, advantageously, said first adjustment pin 39 is arranged in the first seat 33 so that the threading of said stem 39A engages the internal threading thereof and that said operating head 39B, preferably suitably shaped for engagement with a tool, is arranged at or in the proximity of said top opening 33A, or it is accessible therefrom with said tool, so as to drive in rotation said first adjustment pin 39 around the axis X-X and therefore adjust the protrusion of the first end portion 32A of the anchoring element 32 with respect to the outlet opening 33B of the first seat 33 and therefore in use the position of the panel P along said first direction D1.

[0040] Preferably, said anchoring element 32 is articulated to said mounting body 31 around a second axis Y-Y, which is essentially parallel to the first axis X-X and defined by an articulation pin or peg 35, advantageously housed in a second seat 37 obtained in the mounting body 31, to adjust, in use, the position of said panel P with respect to said wall W also along a second direction D2 which is essentially transversal to said wall W.

[0041] In particular, the panel P can therefore be displaced between a first position, wherein the axes X-X and Y-Y lie on the same plane parallel to the rear surface P1 of the panel P, defining the condition of greater adherence of the panel P to the wall W and smaller width of the assembly gap G formed between them, as shown in the figures 8A and 8B, and a plurality of second positions, in which said axes X-X and Y-Y lie on planes essentially transversal to the rear surface P1 of the panel P, therefore changing the detachment of the panel P from the wall W and therefore the depth of the assembly gap G formed between them, as shown in figures 9A and 9B.

[0042] Advantageously, to this end, said mounting device 30 comprises an articulation arm 34, in particular shown in figures 7A, 7B and 7C, provided with a first end portion 34A through which it is rotatably associated with said articulation pin 35, and supporting, at a second end portion 34B, called anchoring pin 32, preferably so that the latter extends laterally with respect to the mounting body 31.

[0043] Said mounting body 31 therefore has a cavity 311, open on the side facing in use towards said wall W and configured to receive a central portion 34C of the articulation arm 34, arranged between the first and the second end portion 34A, 34B, so as to allow the rotary displacement thereof around the articulation pin 35.

[0044] Preferably, in order to allow to precisely adjust the position of the panel P with respect to the wall W along said transversal direction D2, said device 30 further comprises a second adjustment member 36, preferably formed by a pin extending in the mounting body 31 along a third axis Z-Z essentially parallel to said first and to said second axis X-X, Y-Y and conveniently interposed between them, and provided with a first end portion 36A adapted to cooperate with said articulation arm 34 to cause the rotation thereof around the articulation pin 35.

[0045] Preferably, said second adjustment pin 36 comprises an at least partially threaded stem 36B and an operating head 36C arranged at a second end portion, and it is housed in a third seat 38, adjacent to the second seat 37 and advantageously threaded internally, which extends in the mounting body 31 along said third axis Z-Z between a top opening 38A and an outlet opening 38B arranged at said cavity 311.

[0046] In particular, advantageously, said second adjustment pin 36 is arranged in the third seat 38 so that the threading of said stem 36B engages the internal threading thereof and that said operating head 36C, preferably suitably shaped for engagement with a tool, is arranged at or in the proximity of said top opening 38A, or it is accessible therefrom with said tool, so as to drive in rotation said second adjustment pin 36 around the axis Z-Z and therefore adjust the protrusion of the first end portion 36A in the cavity 311.

[0047] Said first end portion 36A is advantageously tapered and it is adapted to abut against a counter-inclined abutment surface 341 obtained in the central portion 34C of the articulation arm 34 received in the cavity 311. In particular, advantageously, said abutment surface 341 lies on an inclined plane with respect to the abutment surface 31A of the mounting body 31 and degrading from the top to bottom moving away from the latter, as observable in particular in figures 7B and 7C.

[0048] As a result, upon driving in rotation said second adjustment pin 36 by engaging with a tool of the relative operating head 36C it is possible to cause an axial translation thereof, so as to stress the first end portion 36A against the abutment surface 341, causing the progressive movement of the arm 34 in rotation around the second axis Y-Y.

[0049] Advantageously, said arm 34 also comprises a further abutment surfaces 341', inclined symmetrically with respect to the first abutment surface 341 with respect to a horizontal plane, and said mounting body 31 comprises a further seat 38', that is coaxial with respect to said 38 and arranged symmetrically with respect thereto, provided with an outlet opening 38B' also arranged at said cavity 311, so as to allow the mounting of the inverted mounting device 30 and therefore make it ambidextrous.

[0050] Preferably, for each panel P there are provided for a pair of mounting devices 30 which can be constrained to said first surface P1 at or in the proximity of opposite top corner portions, adapted to cooperate with a corresponding pair of support elements 20 each mounted on one of said pair of uprights 10 essentially at the same height to suspend said panel P in use to the wall W between said pair of uprights 10, and a pair of thrust elements 40 which can be constrained to said first surface P1 at or in the proximity of opposite lower corner portions, adapted to cooperate with a corresponding pair of support elements 20, each mounted on one of said pair of uprights 10, to prevent the detachment of the panel P from said wall W.

[0051] With reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, said thrust elements 40 are preferably formed by spacer feet, each comprising a thrust pin 41 essentially extending along a direction orthogonal to the rear surface P1 of the panel P and advantageously provided, on the vacant end, with an abutment head 42, adapted to be arranged abutting against the wall W.

[0052] Preferably, the abutment head 42 of said thrust elements 40 has larger dimensions and it is adapted to cooperate with a corresponding support element 20, being inserted into the second gap G2 created, in use, between the recess 24 of the engagement seat 23 and the wall W, so as to prevent the possible inadvertent detachment of the panel P by pulling the lower edge, allowing to carry out such function even following the possible positional adjustments of the panel P carried out through said mounting devices 30.

[0053] Preferably, said thrust pins 41 can be screwed to the panel P so as to allow the adjustment of the protrusion of the abutment head 42 with respect to the rear surface P1 of the panel P and therefore the distance between the latter and the wall W.

[0054] Possibly, on the front surface P2 of the panel P there may be provided for a through hole adapted to allow access, with a special tool, to an operating seat obtained at the second end of the thrust pin 41, so as to allow the in depth adjustment when the panel P is mounted.

[0055] Advantageously, each of said thrust elements 40 comprises a mounting body 43, which can be fixed to the rear surface P1 of the panel P and provided with a blind or through-passing threaded seat 44, into which there is screwed said thrust pin 41.

[0056] For mounting a plurality of panels P superimposed along the vertical direction, preferably having the same horizontal extension, said pair of uprights 10 is constrained to the wall W at the desired distance depending on the horizontal extension of the panels P, so as to have the support flanges 12 facing each other.

[0057] The operation is carried out from the bottom upwards, by anchoring the mounting devices 30 and possibly the thrust elements 40 of the panel P arranged below the respective support elements 20 fixed on different uprights 10 as explained above.

[0058] Acting on the possible adjustment members 36, 39 of each mounting device 30, if present, allows to adjust the position of the panel P with respect to the support wall W correcting any unevenness of the support wall W or of positioning of the uprights 10.

[0059] Advantageously, said thrust elements 40 are configured so that the abutment head 42 remains received in the second gap G2 defined between the recess 24 of the corresponding support element 20 and the wall W so as to prevent the possible inadvertent detachment of the panel P by pulling the lower edge, even following possible positional adjustments of the panel P carried out through the adjustment members 36, 39.

[0060] Once through with the operations for adjusting the position of a first panel with respect to the wall W, which are advantageously carried out by acting from the top edge thereof from which it is possible to reach, using special tools, the operating heads 36C, 39B of the adjustment members 36, 39, there can be carried out the anchoring of a second panel P arranged superimposed vertically with respect to said first panel P and therefore the position adjustments are carried out also for this second panel P as explained above.

[0061] Should one wish to mount a plurality of horizontally adjacent panels P, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 , said assembly 1 comprises at least a further upright 10', constrained to the wall W in an intermediate position with respect to said pair of uprights 10, and comprising a pair of flanges 12 protruding from the opposite sides with respect to the fixing portion 11, so as to support on both support elements 20 cooperating with mounting devices 30, and possibly also with thrust elements 40, fixed to different and adjacent panels P, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16.

[0062] In conclusion, in the light of the above it is clear that the present invention allows to attain the initially envisaged objects and advantages. As a matter of fact, herein provided is an assembly for mounting panels P for making an interior boiserie cladding wall or for making boiserie compositions, on a support structure W.

[0063] In particular, an assembly for mounting panels on a support structure according to the present invention allows to quicken and facilitate the mounting operations and the possible adjustment of the position of the panels.
