The Effect of Accessories Used in Interior Furniture on Increasing Safety and Prevention of Overturn
Öz
Aim of study: Furniture used indoors; threatens the life safety of users by being knocked over for many reasons such as design, production, user errors, earthquakes, etc. This study was carried out to determine the effects of the variables related to the foots used in the furniture and the horizontal forces on the overturning of furniture.
Area of study: This study was carried out in Safranbolu Şefik Yılmaz Dizdar Vocational School Interior Design Department test laboratory.
Material and methods: For the experiments, a leg model, which is widely used in the market, was determined and a multi-purpose cabinet was prepared. Loads were applied to this cabinet with the mechanism established within the scope of TS 9215 and TS EN 14073-2 standards. The effects of the obtained results on overturning were evaluated by analysis of variance and Duncan multiple comparison test.
Main results: It has been observed that the variables such as the position, diameter, height of the foot used in the furniture and the height of the force causing the overturning are effective at various rates in the safe use of the furniture. It has been calculated that the effect of force application heights on overturning is 50.82% at most and foot positions 12.4% at most.
Highlights: The results obtained can be used to increase indoors safety by making it more difficult for overturning of the furniture.
