Fixing base for furniture accessories

Abstract

A fixing base for furniture accessories comprises a base body that is intended to be fixed to a furniture surface by a mounting surface thereof. A tongue, is intended to rest at a corner of the surface of the piece of furniture and a tooth, that faces the tongue, is intended to be inserted into a hole on the surface of the piece of furniture. A hooking lever is rotatable on the base body from an unhooking position to a hooking position controlling means for moving tooth and tongue towards one another to cause the tooth to engage in the wall of the hole with a reaction on the tongue resting on the corner of the piece of furniture.

1 . Fixing base for furniture accessories, comprising a base body intended to be connected to a surface of the piece of furniture by a mounting surface thereof from which there protrudes a tongue, intended for resting at a corner of the surface of the piece of furniture and at least a tooth that faces the tongue and is intended to be inserted into a hole on said surface of the piece of furniture, a hooking lever being rotatable on the base body from an unhooking position to a hooking position controlling means to move tooth and tongue towards one another to cause the tooth to engage in the hole wall with a reaction on the tongue resting on the corner of the piece of furniture. 
   
   
       2 . Base according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the movement moving the tooth and tongue towards one another occurs by tilting the tooth in relation to the tongue. 
   
   
       3 . Base according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the moving towards is combined with a retraction movement of the tooth into the mounting surface. 
   
   
       4 . Base according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the moving towards means comprises a pivot with an axis that is transverse to said moving towards direction and supports the tooth inside the base body, and sliding cam means of the pivot for sliding in a direction that is substantially normal to the mounting surface and is kinematically connected to the hooking lever for the operation thereof, the tooth comprising a square arm that has a fixed end so as to make the tooth tilt around the pivot at said sliding of the pivot. 
   
   
       5 . Base according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the lever is U-shaped with the ends of the two arms of the U that are pivoted on the pivot on two sides of the tooth and the cam means comprises two cam surfaces that are made on the two pivoted ends of the lever. 
   
   
       6 . Base according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the sliding of the pivot is guided at the ends by two guide grooves in the body. 
   
   
       7 . Base according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the sliding of the pivot is guided at the ends by two guide grooves in the body and the pivot protrudes from the body through the guide grooves to support the two pivoted ends of the lever. 
   
   
       8 . Base according to  claim 1 , characterized in that in the unhooking position the lever is raised in a direction substantially normal to the mounting surface, whilst in the hooking position it is lowered substantially parallel to the mounting surface. 
   
   
       9 . Base according to  claim 4 , characterized in that in the unhooking position the lever engages locking means that prevents sliding of the pivot owing to traction on the lever in the direction of extraction of the tooth from the hole. 
   
   
       10 . Base according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the tooth has an edge facing the tongue that is serrated to bite the wall of the hole.
