Abstract
The furniture having, between two lower and upper boards, each having two parallel planar surfaces and two front and rear edges, a module with one or two side walls, each having two upper and lower edges, and a rear back wall with two upper and lower edges, assembled to the side walls. The module can slide and be guided along the boards. One of the edges of each board having a longitudinal rib protruding perpendicular to its planar surfaces. The module is notched longitudinally and perpendicular to its side walls so as to slot onto the ribs of the boards and thus slide along these ribs.
Claims28
A modular and scaleable piece of furniture comprising:
- a low board and a high board, which is located above elevation-wise the low board;
- each of the low board and the high board having a front edge, a rear edge, and two spaced apart side edges located between the front and rear edges;
- a module with at least one side wall and a rear bottom wall assembled to the at least one side wall, said at least one side wall having a low edge and a high edge and the rear bottom wall having a low edge and a high edge;
- wherein the module is guided by the low and high boards when slid relative to the low and high boards;
- and
- wherein:
- each of the low and high boards having two parallel planar surfaces;
- a low longitudinal rib projecting perpendicularly to the two parallel planar surfaces of the low board and a high longitudinal rib projecting perpendicularly to the two parallel planar surfaces of the high board, and
- the module is located between the low and high boards, is fitted onto the low and high longitudinal ribs, and is slidable along the low and high longitudinal ribs between the two spaced apart side edges of the low and high boards.
A modular and scaleable piece of furniture comprising:
- a low board and a high board, which is located above elevation-wise the low board;
- each of the low board and the high board having two parallel planar surfaces, a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge between the front edge and the rear edge, and a second side edge opposite the first side edge;
- a module comprising a side wall and a rear bottom wall assembled to the side wall, said side wall having a low edge and a high edge and said rear bottom wall having a low edge and a high edge;
- a low longitudinal rib projecting perpendicularly to the two parallel planar surfaces of the low board and a high longitudinal rib projecting perpendicularly to the two parallel planar surfaces of the high board, and
- wherein the module is located between the low and high boards and is slidable between the first side edge and the second side edge of the low and high boards such that the low and high longitudinal ribs are located, respectively, in low and high notches formed with the module to guide the module along the low and high longitudinal ribs as the module is slid relative to the low and high boards.
