ABSTRACT:
A structural assembly for forming furniture units is composed of horizontal structural elements (10,50) in the form of metal sections, vertical structural elements (101, 102, 103) in the form of panels, and jointing devices to join together said elements. The metal sections are hollow or have at least some hollow portions communicating with the outside. The metal joining devices (20,30) comprise a head of a suitable size to be accommodated inside the metal sections, preferably in a nonrotating manner, and a shank for engagement with a wood panel. The head of the joining device comprises a through hole having a stem extending along a diameter thereof that can be gripped by a conventional cam clamping device. The joining device can also include two aligned heads and a cavity forming a seat for a head of another joining device. The assembly makes it possible to create wardrobes, or furniture units in general, that do not have any visible metal parts on the inside.
