The present invention is a ready-to-assemble storage unit similar to those found in build-it-yourself furniture stores. What sets it apart is its assembly concept, which is based on four major principles: ~ No assembly tools are required. ~ All of the assembly elements are identical. ~ The storage unit is braced in a natural manner. ~ The storage unit is modular. The basic element of this storage unit, which is in fact a bookcase, takes the form of a panel with five slots cut into it: three transversal slots and one slot at each extremity. All of the panels fit together by aligning the slots into each other. The bookcase is braced by inserting a panel transversally into the end slots. This is a modular storage unit, and many assembly combinations are therefore possible.
La présente invention est une unité de rangement à assembler semblable à celles qu'on
peut trouver dans les magasins de meubles en kit. Sa particularité réside dans son principe
d'assemblage qui se compose en quatre grands principes:
~ Aucun outil n'est nécessaire pour son montage.
~ Tous les éléments d'assemblage sont identiques.
~ L'unité de rangement se contrevente de façon naturelle.
~ L'unité de rangement est modulaire.
L'élément de base de cette unité de rangement, qui est à proprement parler une
bibliothèque, se présente sous la forme d'un panneau découpé de cinq fentes: trois fentes
transversales et une fente à chaque extrémité. Tous les panneaux s'emboîtent en alignant les fentes
les unes dans les autres. La bibliothèque se contrevente en insérant un panneau transversalement
dans les fentes des extrémités. Enfin, cette unité de rangement est modulaire. Plusieurs
combinaisons d'assemblage sont donc possibles.
