Abstract

A compact front regulation system for leveling feet of furniture pieces having a bottom and shoulders includes, in combination, at least one front foot and at least one rear foot, the at least one rear foot having a regulation mechanism in height which is accessible from the outside and which can be maneuvered using a regulation tool. The at least one front foot has a pass-through hole for the regulation tool of the rear foot, the pass-through hole acting as a support and a guide for the regulation tool.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compact front regulation system for leveling feet of a piece of furniture (M) having a bottom ( 12 ) and shoulders ( 11 ), comprising, in combination:
at least one front foot ( 13 , 26 , 127 ); and
at least one rear foot ( 16 , 27 ),
wherein said at least one rear foot ( 16 , 27 ) comprises a regulation mechanism in height which is accessible from outside the at least one rear foot and is maneuverable with a regulation tool ( 22 , 48 , 123 ),
wherein said at least one front foot ( 13 , 26 , 127 ) has a pass-through hole ( 20 , 41 , 41 ′, 141 ′, 42 , 43 ) for passage from one side to another side of a stem of said regulation tool of said at least one rear foot ( 16 , 27 ), and
wherein said pass-through hole is shaped to provide a support and a guide for said stem of said regulation tool when said regulation tool is moved towards said at least one rear foot,
further comprising connections ( 25 ) that are provided and applied beneath said bottom ( 12 ), wherein one of said connections receive said at least one front foot ( 26 , 127 ) and said at least one rear foot ( 27 ), which are adapted to be inserted in said one of said connections, and wherein said pass-through hole of said at least one front foot ( 26 , 127 ) is produced as a pass-through hole ( 42 , 43 ) in a respective connection ( 25 ),
wherein a second pass-through hole ( 41 ) is formed in said at least one front foot ( 26 , 127 ), aligned with said pass-through hole ( 42 , 43 ) in said respective connection ( 25 ).

2. The compact front regulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said second pass-through hole ( 41 ) is positioned above an abutment flange ( 47 ), which determines a correct positioning of the front foot ( 26 ) in a respective housing ( 29 ) of the respective connection ( 25 ).

3. The compact front regulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said second pass-through hole ( 41 ) is positioned beneath an abutment flange ( 47 ), which determines a correct positioning of the front foot ( 26 ) in a respective housing ( 29 ) of the respective connection ( 25 ).

4. A compact front regulation system for leveling feet of a piece of furniture (M) having a bottom ( 12 ) and shoulders ( 11 ), comprising, in combination:
at least one front foot ( 13 , 26 , 127 ); and
at least one rear foot ( 16 , 27 ),
wherein said at least one rear foot ( 16 , 27 ) comprises a regulation mechanism in height which is accessible from outside the at least one rear foot and is maneuverable with a regulation tool ( 22 , 48 , 123 ),
wherein said at least one front foot ( 13 , 26 , 127 ) has a pass-through hole ( 20 , 41 , 41 ′, 141 ′, 42 , 43 ) for passage from one side to another side of a stem of said regulation tool of said at least one rear foot ( 16 , 27 ), and
wherein said pass-through hole is shaped to provide a support and a guide for said stem of said regulation tool when said regulation tool is moved towards said at least one rear foot,
further comprising connections ( 25 ) that are provided and applied beneath said bottom ( 12 ), wherein one of said connections receive said at least one front foot ( 26 , 127 ) and said at least one rear foot ( 27 ), which are adapted to be inserted in said one of said connections, and wherein said pass-through hole of said front foot ( 26 , 127 ) is produced as a pass-through hole ( 42 , 43 ) in a respective connection ( 25 ),
wherein said respective connection ( 25 ) has a second pass-through hole ( 43 ), defined in a body of the respective connection ( 25 ) at 90° with respect to the pass-through hole ( 42 ) in correspondence with an edge of said respective connection ( 25 ).
