PLASTIC SPACER

Abstract

The invention compensates for dimensional tolerances occurring in profile joints thanks to the slots suitable for dowel placement and the glue gap positioned between these slots, ensuring controlled holding of the glue. This relates to plastic spacers developed for use in the joints of furniture elements containing MDF profiles, which prevent leakage and moisture penetration, thereby increasing aesthetic integrity and mechanical strength.

Description

1 TARIFF PLASTIC SPACER Technical Area The invention ensures visual integrity of furniture containing MDF profiles, while profile 5 MDF also minimizes waste that may occur from the parts. MDF prevents moisture from penetrating through the gaps created during the connection of the profiles. This relates to plastic spacers for profile connections. State of the Art MDF offers high processability and surface quality thanks to its homogeneous fiber structure. In presentation, its suitability for coating and profiling applications makes it widely used in mass production. It is used as such. The preference for MDF profiles in furniture production, significant in the literature in terms of both mechanical performance and ease of production. This is explained by the advantages. Academic studies have shown that MDF profiles... The tensile and compressive strengths of the frame constructions produced; the 15 used It varies depending on the type of glue, profile dimensions, and joining techniques. However, it generally shows that it provides sufficient mechanical strength. Additionally, fiberboard-based materials have higher resistance compared to particleboard. It can display values ​​and is therefore more reliable in furniture elements. It is stated that it yielded results. 20 MDF materials offer advantages such as high mechanical strength and workability. Although preferred for its quality, it is more expensive compared to equivalent products. They are in an economically disadvantaged position because of this. Therefore, manufacturers minimize waste in furniture production processes. It aims to maintain. 25 2 However, during the sizing and cutting processes carried out in the production process, Due to the allowance and tolerances of the cutting tool (blade) used, it is always It is not possible to comply with the design dimensions without waste. In addition, the cutter Deterioration that occurs in the parts over time, assembly of the parts 5 prevents the surfaces from making full contact (zero-to-zero contact) during the process. This situation negatively affects the product's seamless and aesthetic appearance. It has an effect. Joints are made at the surfaces where the cutting tool makes contact, such as with dowels. This is possible through the use of connecting elements. Furthermore, the strength of the connection... In order to increase the amount of adhesive (glue) used in some places, in addition to the aforementioned elements. Applications are also used. Performed on connection surfaces. Applications, adhesive type depends on the operator's skill and workmanship precision. This can lead to the formation of residues, and these residues need to be removed. This necessitates additional labor. On the other hand, using only dowels... The glue-free connections achieved are particularly useful for load-bearing items such as tables and chairs. It may be insufficient in furniture components; over time, the contact of the cutting tool... Deformation of the surfaces due to moisture in the connections Loosening occurs, negatively affecting the product's performance. is affected. In conclusion, increasing the output of quality products, preventing production inefficiencies, 20 to improve labor costs, simplify the production process, and extend material lifespan. a technique to protect and maintain visual integrity while doing all this An improvement in this area has become necessary. 3 Purpose of the Invention The main purpose of the invention is the connection of furniture elements containing MDF profiles. By eliminating visual discontinuities at certain points, it creates a unified and aesthetically pleasing design. It allows a certain appearance to be obtained. Another purpose of the invention is to enable the cutting and sizing of profile parts during the cutting and sizing processes. by compensating for gaps caused by the resulting dimensional tolerances, thus reducing waste. It contributes to reducing the rate. The purpose of the invention is to position a cutting tool between contact surfaces. Minimizing the effect of surface defects caused by misuse and achieving a more precise connection. It makes it possible to obtain it. 10 The invention prevents moisture from penetrating MDF profiles at their joints. the deformation of the material over time and the loosening of the connections It aims to prevent this. Furthermore, the invention can be used with dowels and similar fasteners. For example, when used with adhesive, its design allows the glue to hold 15%. by trapping glue residue generated during the production process and the associated additional labor costs. It aims to prevent them from meeting their needs. The invention simplifies the assembly process, minimizing operator-induced errors. and contributes to standardization in production. Another purpose of the invention is to enhance the mechanical strength of furniture components. Especially in load-bearing products, it offers a longer lifespan and more reliable usage opportunity. It offers. The invention improves overall production by saving time and costs in manufacturing processes. It aims to contribute to increasing its efficiency. 4 Figures that will help understand the invention.

Their structures and working mechanisms not only contribute to a better understanding of the subject. It is explained in this regard. In Figure 1, the plastic spacer (1) used in the MDF profile (5) joints is 20 It is shown. On the plastic spacer (1), dowel (4) connection dowel sockets (2) that allow the insertion of elements There is also an additional connection and glue between the two dowel holes (2). There is an adhesive gap (3) which allows the application of the plastic space. to ensure that the part (1) fits perfectly onto the MDF profile (5) surface Oval wings (7) are positioned on its edges. The front of the part The isometric view of the surface is presented in the relevant figure. Figure 2 shows the isometric view of the back surface of the plastic spacer (1). It is shown. The said back surface is MDF profile 5 with dowel hole (6). It is structured to be aligned with (5). Plastic spacer (1), Thanks to the oval wings (7) located on its edges, it fits perfectly to the MDF profile (5) surface. It provides an effective bond by making contact. Thanks to this structure, glued The glue applied during production is kept inside the plastic spacer (1) is provided. 10 Figure 3 shows the isometric view of two MDF profiles (5) disassembled with a plastic spacer (1). The appearance is given. The plastic spacer (1) is attached to the MDF profile (5) with dowels (4) hammered into its front surface. It is fixed by means of dowel slots (2). Joining of MDF profiles (5) As part of the procedures, glue is first applied to the dowel hole (6). 15 Subsequently, the MDF profile (5) with dowel hole (6) and plastic spacer (1) It is mounted on other fixed MDF profiles (5). In fluid state glue, additional connection located on the plastic spacer (1) during assembly and By directing it into the glue gap (3), it fills the gap in question. Oval Thanks to the wings (7), the glue does not leak out between the two MDF profiles (5) 20 This prevents and at the same time minimizes moisture penetration through the joints. This process improves both the bond strength and surface quality.
