    摘要: An actuation and blocking system of a joint for use in a piece of furniture or other furnishing item for perpendicularly interconnecting a shoulder with a shelf, base or top includes a pin with a fixing element to the shoulder and the shelf, base or top and adapted to be at least partially inserted in a hole of the shoulder and of the shelf, base or top. The pin has a side hole for receiving a shaped stem, which extends from an actuation and blocking group of the joint positioned on the shelf, base or top parallel to the floor or the ceiling, which are close to the furniture or other furnishing item when assembled, the actuation and blocking group providing for a 90° transmission between a maneuvering point, accessible from the front or side of the furniture, and the shaped stem, inserted in the side hole of the pin.

    摘要: A fastener unit and related method for securing a board to a support is provided. The fastener unit includes a spacer block, a grip element extending from the spacer block and configured to fit in and engage a groove of the board, and one or more resilient compression elements extending from the spacer block. The one or more resilient compression elements can be a joist leg configured to engage a joist, or it can be vertically compressible toward a first plane that is transverse to a vertical axis of the spacer block so that portions of it can compress from an open mode to a compressed mode and fit within, then forcibly expand within the groove, thereby securing the spacer block in a position adjacent the groove to establish a gap between the board and another board. A related method of use also is provided.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided for linking two articles of furniture that includes a generally U-shaped link. The two articles of furniture include hollow beams that define a link engagement opening in an inner face opposite an abutting outer face of the beam. The link engagement opening includes a center opening sized to receive part of the link into the interior of the hollow beam and a linking slot in communication with the center opening. The link engagement opening and link are configured so that the link can be moved from the center opening into the linking slot of the hollow beams of both articles of furniture. The link engagement opening further includes a storage slot in which the storage slot and link are configured so that the link can be moved from the linking slot, into the center opening and then into the storage slot to store the link.

    摘要: A connector for connecting without tools two panels has a pot-like housing with a radially outwardly protruding expansion sleeve. A clamping lever supported in the housing pivots about a pivot axis between a non-tensioned starting position and a tensioned end position. A tensioning contour extends eccentrically with respect to the pivot axis. A tension bolt has a bolt shaft, with a first bolt end being a first bolt head which is thickened with respect to the bolt shaft and is in the expansion sleeve. A second bolt end being a second bolt head is thickened with respect to the bolt shaft and is arranged inside the housing. The second bolt head is engaged from behind by the eccentric tensioning contour of the clamping lever in the tensioned starting position and is pulled in the direction away from the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeve is expanded by the first bolt head.

    摘要: A connecting system between components of a piece of furniture, includes a pin having a base, a stem departing from said base along an insertion direction and an enlarged portion and a slot made in a second component of a piece of furniture, extending along a tightening direction transverse to the insertion direction and sized to house inside the enlarged portion of the pin, wherein the pin is insertable inside the slot along the insertion direction in correspondence with the insertion portion and is movable inside the slot, along the tightening direction, towards a tightening position. The system includes an anti-sliding device configured to prevent the sliding of the pin inside the slot when in the tightening position.
