An assembly of structural components for carrying out disassemblable pieces of furniture comprising a plurality of panels, angle members and closing plates, wherein: a. the panels have at least one of their longitudinal edges so shaped as to form a first coupling formation and a complementary coupling formation extending along said longitudinal edge and which are operative respectively in planes set at a right angle to one other and at an angle of 45* with respect to the longitudinal center plane of the respective panel, each of said edge portions comprising two mutually orthogonal surfaces set at an angle of 45* to the panel walls respectively, one of said surfaces being provided with an outwardly projecting rib forming the first coupling formation and the other with a complementary groove forming the second coupling formation, said first coupling formation of each panel being able to be interfitted with the second coupling formation of another panel designed to be slidably interlocked with the former panel whereby two panels can be interlocked at a right angle each of said panels having holes formed in at least One side surface thereof adjacent said longitudinal edge; b. the angle members, designed to stiffen the connection between two panels and to prevent sliding movements parallelely to their longitudinal edges comprise two mutually orthogonal outer surfaces from which extend pins designed to be engaged in said holes in the panel surfaces, said pins having axes set at an angle of 45* with respect to said walls and turned towards the corner where said orthogonal surfaces meet, while the axes of all said pins are set in one or more planes perpendicular to said corner, in said angle member being further arranged at least one hole having the axis parallel to the right angled corner of said angle member; and c. the closing plates are each constituted of a board or sheet provided near their corners with means adapted to be engaged into the holes provided in the angle members.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
An assembling according to claim 1, wherein the longitudinal edges of the panels comprise two mutually orthogonal surfaces set an angle of 45* to the panel surfaces, and parallel to the longitudinal edges of said panel, from one of said orthogonal surfaces a longitudinal rib outwardly projects provided with side longitudinal recesses, while into the other of said mutually orthogonal surfaces is arranged a longitudinal groove of a shape adapted to mate with the said rib, when a first coupling formation of one panel has been slidably, interfitted into the second coupling formation of another panel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the structural components are made of plastics, while the edges of the panels are constituted of metal profiles shaped by a drawing process or the like and inserted by suitable means along the longitudinal edges of the panels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the holes arranged in the angle members and designed to receive the pins projecting from the closing plates have a central restricted portion and the pins designed to be inserted in said holes have a double-coned complementary form with a central annular recess.
