Dividing member for boiserie
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing boiserie designs face challenges in achieving resistance and cost-effectiveness while ensuring ease of assembly, particularly in the construction of shelves or compartments with dividing panels that need to be securely attached to the wall without compromising aesthetics or structural integrity.
Innovation Solution
A boiserie design featuring a sandwich structure with right-quadrilateral plates and spacer elements forming a parallelepiped, where one spacer element is bored with a threaded hole to facilitate easy attachment to the vertical back of the compartment using screws, allowing for adjustable appearance and enhanced grip with metal or wood materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional solid panel structures are used for boiserie dividing panels, then structural strength and resistance are improved, but manufacturing cost increases and ease of assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The dividing panel is segmented into multiple components: two plates (front and back) and spacer elements positioned between them. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured separately and assembled together, improving ease of assembly while maintaining structural strength through the distributed framework design.
Solution Approach 2:
The panel uses a composite structure combining plates and spacer elements to create a lightweight yet strong framework. This composite approach reduces material usage and manufacturing cost compared to solid panels, while the geometric arrangement of components provides adequate structural resistance.
2Strength
If traditional solid panel structures are used for boiserie dividing panels, then structural resistance is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the panel into separate plates and spacer elements, manufacturing can be optimized for each component type. Standardized spacers can be produced efficiently and assembled between plates, reducing overall manufacturing cost compared to producing large solid panels.
Solution Approach 2:
The spacer elements can be made from inexpensive materials such as wood, plastic, or metal, providing adequate structural support at low cost. This approach prioritizes cost-effectiveness while maintaining sufficient resistance for the application.
3Ease of manufacture
If simple panel structures are used for boiserie, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but attachment reliability to the wall deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The spacer elements are pre-equipped with threaded holes during manufacturing. This preliminary action allows for reliable screw attachment to the wall without requiring additional drilling or modification during installation, maintaining both low cost and high reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The threaded holes in the spacer elements enable self-service attachment to the wall using standard screws. The structure provides its own attachment mechanism through the integrated threaded features, eliminating the need for separate fastening components or complex installation procedures.

AI summary
A dividing panel (MC) for boiserie is described, comprising: two plates (10) of equal right-quadrilateral shape, two spacer elements (20, 40) of equal thickness, fixed between the plates so as to form overall a parallelepiped of which the plates, parallel to each other, form two opposing major sides thereof, and one of the two spacer elements is located along a perimeter edge of the two plates ( 10) and is bored in its thickness by at least one hole (22) having an axis (X) contained between the two plates and a mouth facing the outside of the parallelepiped. The panel is easy to mount and build.
