The present invention relates to an anchoring group for the wall assembly of wall cupboards with an increased capacity with regulation from below.

At present, the definition "anchoring group" generally indicates the combination of a plate (support) , that can be fixed to the wall by means of screws and/or dowels, and an anchoring device (so- called hanging bracket) comprising a hook that can be fixed to the furniture.

Furthermore, for a better understanding of the problems associated with anchoring groups and their application, it should also be pointed out that wall cupboards are usually provided with a rear wall, called "lining", which typically consists of a plywood panel or made of thin wood.

The lining can have a double function, both aesthetic for simply closing the back of the cupboard, and also structural for hanging the same cupboard by fixing the hanging bracket to said lining.

In any case, the hanging bracket of the anchoring group must be mainly fixed to structural parts of the cupboard, such as for example, the side shoulders, which are always produced with a load-bearing function, having an adequate thickness and resistance for the purpose, sometimes supported by a fixing also to the upper top of the cupboard.

This type of application, however, is not suitable when the wall cupboard does not have a particularly sturdy construction.

The use of particularly thin structural panels, in fact, hinders the firm positioning of the hanging bracket to the cupboard.

Thin panels of both the shoulder and top do not support the firm positioning of the hanging bracket and above all are not suitable for validly "bearing" the cupboard and its contents once the hanging bracket has been fixed to them.

The hanging bracket does not have a valid and stable coupling in the thin layer of wood or the like forming the panel.

This fixing with the insertion of screws or similar elements can also easily cause breakage if the panel is particularly thin and can therefore lead to a possible sagging of the wall cupboard when it is loaded.

In this situation of thin panelling, moreover, the anchoring groups used must be able to be regulated, in the sense that the hanging bracket, or rather its parts, must be movable with respect to the supporting point to allow a regulation in height (vertical) and also in depth (horizontal) .

Only in this way is it possible to position the cupboard correctly on the wall, also with respect to other adjacent furniture.

Furthermore, also in this situation of a thin structure of the cupboard, the anchoring groups must not have complex mechanisms or be difficult to implement, in any case avoiding difficulty in their regulation in height and depth.

A further problem connected with the positioning of these wall cupboards lies in the need for holes in the lining and/or panels, allowing the passage of a tool that effects horizontal and vertical adjustments.

Holing in the lining and/or panels in visible positions is not desirable, as the wall cupboard, for example, has a certain value and must not be ruined by making holes that can easily be seen by an observer, even if covered by specific caps. In particular, in the case of furniture that does not have closing doors, or with partially transparent doors, in which the holes and/or relative caps formed in the lining, are visible.

Finally, known applications require the use of a ladder for effecting adjustments for operating from above the piece of furniture in order to actuate the necessary regulations of the anchoring group.

EP 2 387 912 Al discloses a support for furniture that is positioned below the cupboard and comprises a levelling device. The cupboard above is constrained to the wall by means of a hooking device (not described) and is supported below on a leveller hooked to the wall. Both the upper hooking device and the leveller are fixed to the wall and are independent of each other .

International patent applications WO 2012/140467 and WO 2012/048850 of the holder both disclose a hanging bracket fixed on the lining of the cupboard and an anchoring support fixed to the wall of the environment or building.

The objective of the present invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks previously indicated.

Furthermore, the present invention is proposed as an alternative to the known anchoring groups and already present on the market, in particular when the panels of the cupboard are thin.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide an anchoring group that can be easily regulated without the use of ladders or other aids for reaching it .

In view of the above objectives, according to the present invention, an anchoring group has been conceived for the wall assembly of wall cupboards with an increased capacity with regulation from below, having the characteristics specified in the enclosed claims.

With particular reference to figure 1, this shows as a whole with the reference number 11, a first embodiment example of an anchoring group according to the invention comprising a pair of hidden hanging- bracket devices adjustable from below, for the wall assembly of a wall cupboard.

According to the invention, said anchoring group 11 comprises a pair of hanging-bracket devices 12, of the adjustable type and suitable for being assembled on a wall or panel 23 by means of fixing dowels 24. A pair of supporting plates 22 are provided at the rear of a wall cupboard P, in a hidden position, in contact with a lining 13, constrained laterally to a shoulder 14 and above a top 15 of the wall cupboard P. As can be seen, said hanging bracket can be produced in various alternative embodiments.

In a first embodiment, each hanging bracket device 12 comprises an anchoring base or plate element 16 and a hooking element 17. The plate element 16 is provided with at least a pair of holes 60 suitable for receiving the fixing dowels 24, produced in opposite parts of the plate element 16 itself, for constraining it to the wall 23.

Each hooking element 17 of each hanging bracket 12 is coupled in the front with the same plate element 16 to receive and constrain each supporting plate 22 which is fixed at the rear of the wall cupboard P. In particular, said fixing is effected thanks to the presence, in each supporting plate 22, of holes 61 formed on side edges 62 and upper edges 63 of each plate 22 which are juxtaposed with respect to the shoulder 14 and top 15 and constrained by means of screws for obtaining its stable positioning.

Each hanging bracket 12 comprises a slide 25, sliding linearly with respect to the plate element or flange 16 in a first direction F, whereas the hooking element 17 is at least partly associated with the slide 25. The hooking element 17 is in fact movable with respect to the slide 25 in at least a second direction Fl, substantially perpendicular with respect to the first direction.

In this way, an adjustment of the wall cupboard P is obtained in two directions F, Fl perpendicular to each other, specifically vertically (in height) and horizontally (in depth) .

Each plate element or flange 16 also comprises at least two sliding rails 26 which cooperate with the relative slide 25. The slide 25 provides sliding guides 27 destined for cooperating with the respective rails 26 for guiding the sliding of the slide 25 in the first direction, preferably in a vertical direction in an assembled condition.

Furthermore, the anchoring group comprises regulation means for controlling the sliding of the slide 25 with respect to the plate element or flange 16.

Said means preferably comprise: a threaded seat 28 formed in the slide 25, an abutment flap 29, having a pair of holes and integral with the plate element 16 and which extends perpendicularly to the rails 26, and a regulation screw 30, accessible and operable from below, cooperating with the abutment flap 29 and with the threaded seat 28. This cooperation is such as to allow the sliding of the slide 25 in the above- mentioned first direction F. The regulation screw 30 is kept firmly in position with respect to the abutment flap 29, but rotates, thanks to the provision of a blocking ring 31 such as a Seeger ring, which is housed in an annular seat 31A formed below its head 30A which is therefore firmly constrained to the flap 29, but free to rotate.

Furthermore, each hanging-bracket device 12 comprises activation means for controlling the movement of the hooking element 17 in the second direction Fl . In particular, in the example shown, said activation means comprise a drive screw 32, accessible and operable from below, at least partly housed in the slide 25 and positioned parallelly to the regulation screw 30. Said drive screw 32 is also kept firmly in position with respect to the abutment flap 29, but rotates, thanks to the provision of a blocking ring 33, such as a Seeger ring, which is housed in an annular seat 33A formed below its head 32A which is thus firmly constrained to the flap 29, but free to rotate.

More specifically, said activation means, in addition to comprising in this example the drive screw 32, having a polygonal stem 34, for example hexagonal, provide a cylindrical element 35, provided externally with a portion in the form of a worm-screw 36, and housed in the slide 25, kept rotatingly in position by a pin 37.

The cylindrical element 35 is internally and axially provided with a cavity 38, having a polygonal form complementary to that of the stem 34 of the drive screw 32. Said cavity 38 is also provided in both the head of the regulation screw 30 and in the head of the drive screw 32 for receiving, as described hereunder, the tip of a screwdriver or rotation key.

The pin 37 is inserted, in an assembled condition, in the slide 25 and then also in the throat 39 of the cylindrical element 35.

The portion in the form of a worm screw 36 of the cylindrical element 35 cooperates with a toothed wheel 40, also housed in the slide 25 and rotatingly withheld with respect to the same.

The hooking element 17 is provided with a partially threaded body 41 cooperating with a threaded seat 42 inside the toothed wheel 40.

The body 41 has two smooth opposite planes (or flat portions) (41A) that slide inside complementary guiding seats of a hole of the slide 25.

In this way, the body 41 of the hooking element 17 can be moved horizontally, in an extraction/insertion direction according to the arrow Fl, from the toothed wheel 40 following the rotation of the latter, when activated by the portion in the form of a worm screw 36 of the cylindrical element 35.

As can be seen in the figures, the axes of the portion in the form of a worm screw 36 of the cylindrical element 35, of the drive screw 32 and screw 30 are parallel to each other, so that access by means of keys or screwdrivers for effecting regulations of the wall cupboard P can be obtained by acting from the same part, i.e. directly from below.

The possibility of effecting regulations from below, for example by means of pass-through holes 43 formed in a base or ledge 44 of the wall cupboard P, has the result of improving access to the regulations and allowing simplified assembly and adjustments.

This eliminates the need for forming and having front pass-through holes on the lining, which are aesthetically unsightly, or having holes on the top of the cupboard which are not easily accessible and require the use of a ladder or create difficulties if the top is close to the ceiling.

In this way, the horizontal and vertical movement of the wall cupboard P can be advantageously regulated by acting on one side alone, i.e. from below, and by simply acting with a screwdriver 45.

Figures 2, 2A and 3, 3A show how accessibility to the hanging bracket 12 is achieved through the screwdriver 45 introduced alternatively in either of the two holes 43. More specifically, it can be seen how each hanging bracket 12 is constrained to the wall 23 thus creating an increased capacity which prevents any possible sagging also in the case of a considerable load. Furthermore, each supporting plate 22 collaborating with the respective hooking element 17 of the hanging bracket 12 is firmly positioned on the rear part of the cupboard without any holing, for example in correspondence with the convergence with the top 15 and the shoulder 14, in a particularly resistant point of the structure of the wall cupboard P.

Figures 5 and 6 show by way of example how the screwdriver 45 is introduced into one of the holes 43 to effect the adjustment in a horizontal direction, i.e. in depth, according to the arrow Fl, after juxtaposing the wall cupboard P with relative supporting plates 22 and the respective hooking element 17 of the corresponding hanging brackets 12, as indicated by the arrow K in the section of figure 4.

Once the adjustment has been effected, as indicated in figure 5, figure 6 shows how the wall cupboard P has been perfectly regulated in position by moving it as required towards the wall 23.

Figures 11 to 18 show, in a series of perspective and sectional views, an anchoring group of the type illustrated in the previous figures according to the invention in a further variation.

It is understood that the same elements are indicated in the figures with the same reference numbers used in the first embodiment described. Furthermore, these elements are not described in terms of structure and functioning and reference should be made to what is illustrated and described for the previous embodiment of figures 1 to 10.

Also in this case, the anchoring group comprises hanging brackets 12 and relative supporting plates 22, the former fixed to the wall 23 and the latter constrained to the rear of the wall cupboard P. In this further example, it can be observed that transmission elements 46 have been added for an easier activation from below of the adjustments.

In particular, in this example, it can be seen how said transmission elements 46 are constrained to the wall 23 integrally connecting them with the hanging brackets 12 in turn connected with each other.

Said transmission elements 46 consist, for example, of shaped rods or polygonal stems 47, for example hexagonal, (figure 12), that can be inserted in complementary cavities or housings 38, having a complementary polygonal form, produced in the head of both the regulation screw 30 and drive screw 32. Said rods 47 are aligned beneath the regulation means and activation means and terminate at the opposite end with sleeves 48 also internally provided with cavities or seats 49 shaped complementarily with respect to the tip of a screwdriver 45 or similar tool.

In particular, the figures also show how supports 50 can be positioned, constrained to the base or anchoring plate element 16 of the hanging bracket 12. Said reciprocal constraint is obtained thanks to the fact that said base 16 of the hanging bracket 12 provides a seat 64 below, which is suitable for snap- receiving an expandable yielding tip 65 which extends above from each support 50.

More specifically, said supports 50 contain shaped housings 51 for the sleeves 48, for example in the form of pairs of yieldable flaps, in which the sleeves 48 are snap-inserted according to the arrows 52 of figure 12, after inserting the rods 47 in the cavities or housings 38 formed in the head of both the regulation screw 30 and drive screw 32 according to the arrows 53.

In order to further improve the stability of this positioning, a connection rod 66 can also be provided between the two hanging brackets 12.

Said rod 66 comprises expandable yielding tips 67 at its opposite ends, suitable for being snap-engaged inside seats 68 provided on the base 16 of the hanging bracket 12 forming stable connection means.

Figure 13 shows how the j uxtapositioning is effected, according to the arrow 69, between the wall cupboard P provided with the relative supporting plates 22 and the hanging brackets 12 with transmission elements 46, supports 50 and connection rod 66 between the two hanging brackets 12 previously fixed to the wall 23 by means of dowels 24.

Figures 14, 14A and 15, 15A show how, once the transmission elements 46 have been arranged with the relative auxiliary elements described above, it is advantageously possible to act from below with a simple screwdriver 45 of any kind, for effecting any possible adjustments of the positioning of the wall cupboard P previously described and illustrated.

Also in this case, figures 17 and 18 show how the screwdriver 45 is introduced into one of the holes 43 to effect an adjustment in a horizontal direction, i.e. in depth, according to the arrow Fl, after moving the wall cupboard P with relative supporting plates 22 towards the respective hooking element 17 of the corresponding hanging brackets 12 fixed to the wall, as indicated by the arrow K of figure 16.

Once said adjustment has been effected, as indicated in figure 17, figure 18 shows how the wall cupboard P has been perfectly regulated, juxtaposing it perfectly, as required, with respect to the wall 23.

With respect to what is shown in figures 19 to 25, these show a further anchoring group of the type previously illustrated, in particular in figures 1 to 10, provided with a guiding profile for a screwdriver which facilitates its use.

As described above, for example, it should be pointed out that the same elements are indicated in the figures with the same reference numbers used in the first embodiment described. Furthermore, these elements are not described in terms of structure and functioning and reference should be made in this respect to what is illustrated and described for the previous embodiment of figures 1 to 10.

Also in this case, the anchoring group comprises hanging brackets 12 and relative supporting plates 22, the former fixed to the wall 23 and the latter constrained to the rear of the wall cupboard P. Furthermore, a guiding profile for screwdrivers 54 has been added for each hanging bracket 12 aligned below it. The guiding profile 54 comprises a shaped body 55 in which two longitudinal pass-through holes 56 are formed, which extend between the ends of the profile 54.

The guiding profile 54 is arranged connected to the respective hanging bracket 12 forming a reciprocal constraint as the base 16 of the hanging bracket 12 provides a seat 64 below, which is suitable for snap- receiving an expandable yielding tip 65 which extends above from each guiding profile 54.

Also in this case, in order to further improve the stability of this positioning, a connection rod 66 can also be provided between the two hanging brackets 12.

Said rod 66 comprises expandable yielding tips 67 at its opposite ends, suitable for being snap-engaged inside seats 68 provided on the base 16 of the hanging bracket 12. Figure 19 shows an exploded view of all of these elements before effecting their reciprocal constraint .

Figure 20 shows how the j uxtapositioning is effected, according to the arrow 69, between the wall cupboard P provided with the relative supporting plates 22 and the hanging brackets 12 with guiding profiles 54 and connection rod 66 between the two hanging brackets 12 previously fixed to the wall 23 by means of dowels 24.

Figures 21, 21A and 22, 22A show how, once the guiding profiles 54 have been arranged with the relative auxiliary elements described above, it is advantageously possible to act from below with a simple screwdriver 45 of any kind, for effecting any possible adjustments of the positioning of the wall cupboard P previously described and illustrated.

Also in this case, figures 24 and 25 show how the screwdriver 45 is introduced into one of the holes 43 to effect an adjustment in a horizontal direction, i.e. in depth, according to the arrow Fl, after moving the wall cupboard P with relative supporting plates 22 towards the respective hooking element 17 of the corresponding hanging brackets 12 fixed to the wall, as indicated by the arrow K of figure 23.

Once said adjustment has been effected, as indicated in figure 24, passing the screwdriver through the relative guiding profile 54, figure 25 shows how the wall cupboard P has been perfectly regulated, juxtaposing it perfectly, as required, with respect to the supporting wall 23.

This further example of the present invention proposes as an alternative, the positioning of a single supporting bar 222 instead of the two supporting plates 22.

Figures 26 to 28 show this possibility.

Figure 26, in particular, shows, in a perspective view, how the j uxtapositioning is effected, according to the arrow 69, between the wall cupboard P provided with a single supporting bar 222 and the two hanging brackets 12, for example with guiding profiles 54 and connection rod 66 between the two hanging brackets 12, previously fixed to the wall 23 by means of dowels 24.

Figures 27, 27A and 28, 28A show how, once the guiding profiles 54 have been arranged with the relative auxiliary elements described above, it is advantageously possible to act from below with a simple screwdriver 45, for effecting any possible adjustments of the positioning of the wall cupboard P previously described and illustrated.

Figures 27 and 27A show perspective views of the single hanging bracket of the anchoring group shown in figure 26 in an assembled and operational position, wherein the fixing wall has been removed and illustrating only the constraining dowels 24 to the same .

Figures 27 and 27A show an adjustment phase from below in height (vertical) according to the arrow F and figures 28 and 28A respectively show an adjustment phase from below in depth (horizontal) according to the arrow Fl . The figures also show partial views of the hanging bracket alone and part of the single supporting plate with the hanging bracket without the fixing base to the wall.

A first non-limiting embodiment of a possible hanging bracket to be used in an anchoring group according to the present invention has been previously illustrated. Other alternative embodiments of a hanging bracket are described hereunder, for the sake of completeness .

Figures 29, 30, 31 and 32 are a front view, a raised view, a raised sectional view and a perspective view illustrating a second further embodiment of a hanging bracket that can be used in an anchoring group according to the present invention. Where possible, the same reference numbers are used as those used for the first embodiment already illustrated and described.

As can be better seen in figure 33 in an exploded perspective view, the anchoring group comprises a hanging bracket 12 (figures 29 to 32) fixed to a wall 23 by means of dowels 24 with a relative supporting or anchoring plate or bar 22 to a wall cupboard P. Each hanging-bracket device 12 comprises a base or anchoring plate element 16 and a hooking element 17.

As for the previous examples, each anchoring group comprises regulation means and activation means of the reciprocal position between the hanging-bracket device 12, the hooking element 17 and anchoring support 22 for effecting a regulation in the position of the wall cupboard P with respect to the wall 23. This regulation is effected according to two directions F, Fl perpendicular to each other, vertically (in height) and horizontally (in depth) respectively, and the regulation and activation are advantageously effected from below.

Also in this case, a regulation screw 30 is provided, accessible from below, rotatable, but kept firmly in position by a pair of spaced abutment flaps 29 which extend from the plate element or flange 16. More specifically, the regulation screw 30 is kept firmly in an axial position with respect to the abutment flap 29, but with the possibility of rotation, thanks to the provision of a non-threaded neck 31A adjacent to its head 30A constrained inside a slot 29A of the lower flap 29. The regulation screw 30 is housed in a threaded seat 70 formed in a crosspiece 71 whose ends 72 are housed in seats 73 of a body 74, at whose end the hooking element 17 is produced.

This cooperation is such as to cause the desired movement in the first direction F indicated above, for the regulation in height.

It is also provided said body 74 bears laterally on its opposite sides, tilted slots 75 in which ends of a pin 76 are slidingly arranged, whose central area is inserted in a slide 77 which slides with respect to rails 26 of the base or plate element 16. The slide 77 also comprises a central pass-through threaded seat 78 in which a drive screw 32 is inserted, rotatable and accessible from below. Said drive screw 32 is positioned parallel to the regulation screw 30, and is kept firmly in position in the pair of abutment flaps 29 thanks to a blocking ring 79 positioned in a specific seat 80.

Said drive screw 32 forms, together with the tilted slots 75, the pin 76 and slide 77, activation means for controlling the movement of the hooking element 17 in the second direction Fl indicated above.

This embodiment of the hanging bracket 12 can therefore also be used in a group according to the invention with regulation in depth effected from below.

Figures 34, 35, 36 and 37 are also enclosed, for the sake of completeness, which illustrate a front view, two raised sections in different positions and a partly split perspective view of a further embodiment of a hanging bracket that can be used in an anchoring group according to the present invention.

This embodiment of the hanging bracket 12 is partly similar to the previous embodiment, but provides a different mechanism for actuating the regulation of the hooking element 17 in the direction Fl .

Also in this case, in fact, the regulation screw 30 is accessible from below and is only rotatable, as it is kept firmly in an axial position by a pair of spaced abutment flaps 29 which extend from the plate element or flange 16. The regulation screw 30 is housed in a threaded seat 70 formed in a crosspiece 71 whose ends 72 are housed in seats 73 of a body 74, at whose end the hooking element 17 is situated. Also in this case, this cooperation causes the desired movement in the first direction F for regulation in height.

Analogously, the drive screw 32, rotatable and accessible from below, is arranged parallelly with respect to the regulation screw 30, and kept firmly in position in the pair of abutment flaps 29 by a blocking ring 79 positioned in a specific seat 80.

Said drive screw 32 controls a pinion 81 of a bevel produced with a toothing 82 positioned on a screw 83 which is engaged with a nut 84 slidingly arranged inside guiding rails 85 formed in the body 74 of the hooking element 17. As can be clearly seen in figures 35-38 of the drawings, said bevel 81, 82 is housed inside a box 86 integral with the plate or flange 16. The rotation of the screw 83 caused by the bevel 81-82 causes the movement of the hooking element 17, thus creating with the other elements indicated above, activation means for controlling the movement in a second direction Fl .

This embodiment of the hanging bracket 12 can therefore also be used in a group according to the invention with regulation in depth effected from below.

Figure 38 shows an exploded perspective view of the parts described above of the hanging bracket of figures 34 to 37 fixed to the wall by means of dowels 24, and also the relative anchoring plate or bar 22 to a wall cupboard P.

According to the present invention, an anchoring group has therefore been produced, in which the hanging bracket is fixed to the wall or panel with respect to which the wall cupboard P, bearing anchoring supports such as plates or a single bar, must be positioned, optimizing the stable and safe positioning of the wall cupboard also in the presence of particularly thin panels of the top, shoulder and base.

Furthermore, the implementation of the adjustments in depth and in height of the hanging bracket that are very practically effected from below with a screwdriver having a long stem or with a screwdriver with the aid of the activation and guiding elements shown, simplifies said regulation operations.

Finally, all problems relating to the presence of visible holes in the elements of the wall cupboard and/or closing caps of the same holes, have been eliminated .

In this way, the problems revealed in the prior art have been solved.

Further variants, or equivalent modifications are also possible, all to be considered as being included in the scope of the present invention.

The scope of the invention is therefore defined by the following claims.
