Kabin Tipi Demonte Mobilyalarda Kavelalı Minifiks Köşe Birleştirmelerde Eğilme Momenti Üzerine Minifiksler ve Parça Kenarları Arasındaki Uzaklıklarının Etkisi

In this study, the effect of distances between the minifixes and edges of member (front and rear stops) has been examinated on the bending moment of L-type dowel minifix corner joints in the cabinet-type ready-to-assemble furniture. For this purpose, dowel and minifix fasteners and melamine-coated fiberboard (MCF) and melamine-coated particle board (MCP) materials are used for test specimens. Front and rear stops were determined as 60/36, 60/60 and 48/48 mm. Test specimens which prepared were subjected to tension and compression tests. According to the results, the bending moment values of the stops have been obtained the maximum in 60/60 group, the minimum in 60/36 group, and the medium in 48/48 group. The bending moment values obtained that the fiberboard were obtained higher than particleboard, and the tension was obtained higher than compression. As a result, the front and rear stop values are recommended as equal and 60 mm for 228 mm deep furniture.
