With the partitioning system, the interior of the movable furniture part is subdivided into areas in order to be able to accommodate objects in the different areas that are separated from one another.

OBJECT AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide an improved partitioning system for an interior of a movable furniture part, in particular with regard to an assembly which can be adapted to individual requirements.

[0003] This object is achieved by independent claim 1.

The dependent claims relate to advantageous and expedient developments of the invention.

The invention relates to a device, in particular an interior dividing system, for dividing an interior of a movable furniture part, in particular a drawer, the device comprising a frame part which is formed from a plurality of interconnected inner wall elements, the device, in particular the Frame part, can be arranged in an interior of the furniture part, a connecting element being provided in order to connect an inner wall element to a further inner wall element, the connecting element being designed to be inserted into the inner wall element in the region of an end face of an inner wall element.

The invention relates in particular to a drawer interior dividing system or a drawer interior dividing device or a dividing system for dividing a drawer interior. The inner wall elements of the frame part are to be distinguished from the walls of the movable furniture part or the drawer or are in addition to two side walls, a front and a rear wall of the drawer according to the structure of a commercially available drawer.

The walls of the drawer limit the interior of the drawer, in which the device according to the invention can be used.

The grading device usually has a plurality of frame parts or a plurality of inner wall elements, which are present in particular in the composite as part of a frame part. The frame parts of a dividing device can have the same or different dimensions with respect to one another with regard to the transverse or broad sides and the long sides. A frame part can be assembled from several inner wall elements, preferably with a few simple assembly steps. A dividing device according to the invention typically has a plurality of frame parts as a component, the frame parts themselves being assembled individually as far as the transverse and longitudinal sides are concerned. However, the frame parts are advantageously matched to one another or can be arranged in the interior of the drawer in such a way that the partitioning device produced therefrom has a quadrangular, preferably a rectangular, base surface which matches a corresponding base surface of the interior of the movable furniture part, around the partitioning device in the interior of the furniture part to be able to use. With its base, the dividing device generally preferably spans an entire free base of the

AT 16 515 U1 2019-11-15 Austrian patent office

Interior of a drawer, for example, the drawer interior base area being formed by an accessible area above the drawer bottom for accommodating objects in the drawer.

[0009] The dividing device may also include additional areas or intermediate or edge areas adjoining the frame parts, which are inside with respect to an outline of the dividing device or are not within a volume of a frame part.

Advantageously, the device comprises several mutually different inner wall elements. The inner wall elements are advantageously of identical design and differ in particular alone or exclusively in their lengths, the length of an inner wall element extending along a longitudinal axis of the inner wall element. The length differences of the inner wall elements of the partitioning system advantageously correspond to a grid dimension of the partitioning system. For example, the division system comprises inner wall elements with exactly two, four, five or six, in particular exactly three different lengths, in particular in accordance with the grid dimension of the inner division system.

The essence of the invention is that the connecting element in the connected state connects an end face of an inner wall element with a large flat side of a further inner wall element, the end face and the large flat side of the two inner wall elements being at an angle to one another, with a holding element within a surface the large flat side of the further inner wall element is present, and wherein the connecting element engages the holding element in the connected state. As a result, the two inner wall elements can be arranged comparatively easily and flexibly. For example, a frame part consisting of four or more inner wall elements, which forms a frame, can be subdivided by a further inner wall element of the device according to the invention.

[0012] In the arranged state, an end face of a first inner wall element is advantageously present opposite, in particular in front of, a large flat side of a second inner wall element. For example, in the arranged state, the connecting element is pushed into the end face of the first inner wall element.

It is also advantageous that the holding element is present as a recess and / or opening on the inner wall element.

The inner wall element is preferably present as a cuboid hollow body in particular. For example, the inner wall element is bent from a flat material. In particular, the inner wall element has two opposing large flat sides, two opposing narrow flat sides and two end faces, the large and narrow flat sides extending along or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the inner wall element and the large flat sides advantageously being oriented perpendicular to the narrow flat sides , If the inner wall element is designed as a hollow body, a hollow space of the hollow body is preferably present between the flat sides or in this case the flat sides are spaced apart from one another by the hollow space. It is also conceivable that the end face of the inner wall element has or forms an opening in the cavity.

An inner wall element made of a metal material e.g. made of steel and / or aluminum, e.g. made of a flat material such as sheet metal is just as advantageous as an inner wall element made of a plastic material or a composite material. If the inner wall element is made of a flat material or as a hollow body, the recess is advantageously cut from the large flat side, e.g. lasered. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the inner wall element has a recess on each large flat side. The recesses are e.g. mirror-symmetrical.

It also proves to be advantageous that the connecting element with the inside

AT 16 515 U1 2019-11-15 austrian patent office wall element locked when inserted. The inner wall element is advantageously designed such that the connecting element can be inserted in the region of the end face, in particular into the end face, or into an opening of the end face and / or along a longitudinal axis of the inner wall element, in particular into the cavity of the inner wall element. This simplifies assembly of the device, in particular of the two inner wall elements.

Preferably, the connecting element locks automatically when inserted with the inner wall element, in particular releasably. Advantageously, the connecting element is latched to the inner wall element in the connected, inserted state.

In an advantageous embodiment of the device, the connecting element has a locking element which is designed to lock in particular automatically with a holding element of the inner wall element. The latching element is preferably present in the region of the first front side of the connecting element. It is also conceivable that the holding member is formed in the region of the cavity of the inner wall element. As a result, it is conceivable that the latching element latches with the holding element when the connecting element is inserted into the inner wall element. This simplifies assembly of the connecting element on the first inner wall element.

It is further proposed that the connecting element has a locking element on a front side. For example, the locking element is protruding on the front. The connecting element is preferably present such that it can be inserted into the inner wall element with a first front side, the connecting element having a second front side, which is in particular spaced apart from the first front side, and wherein the connecting element on the second front side has, for example, the protruding locking element. The latching element is advantageously designed such that it is present in the arranged state of the connecting element on the inner wall element on and / or in the holding element of the inner wall element.

The further holding element is present, for example, as a recess on the large flat side of the inner wall element. As a result, rotation of the connecting element in the arranged state on the inner wall element is prevented and / or a connection or coupling of the latching element to the holding element is fixed or fixed. The spring means are advantageously designed to push or push away the connecting element from the inner wall element in the arranged state of the connecting element on the inner wall element. It is also conceivable that the spring means are part of the end face of the inner wall element. For example, the spring means are cut out and / or bent out from the end face.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the connecting element, in particular the latching element, is designed to be hung on an inner wall element, in particular from above, e.g. from diagonally above. In an inserted state, the connecting element can advantageously be hung on a second inner wall element. This results in a tool-free assembly of the connecting element on the second inner wall element, in particular a tool-free assembly of the two inner wall elements.

The latching element is present, for example, like a hook. As a result, the locking element can be suspended in the holding element, in particular in the opening or the recess. For example, the locking element is screw-like or nail-like, the locking element

In this case, it is conceivable that the holding element of the inner wall element has a keyhole-like opening into which the screw-like or nail-like locking element can be hung.

It is also conceivable that the latching element and the holding element as a particularly latching plug connection, e.g. are designed as a plug-in coupling.

It is also conceivable that the locking element and the holding element are designed such that they do not lock and / or lock together in the arranged state. In this case, the latching element and the holding element are preferably present such that, in the arranged state, they secure an inner wall element, which is arranged at an angle to a further inner wall element, against displacement relative to the further inner wall element, in particular in a direction parallel to the large flat side of the further inner wall element , or parallel to a longitudinal axis of the further inner wall element.

In an advantageous embodiment of the device, the connecting element, in particular the latching element, can be fastened to an inner wall element by a pivoting movement and / or rotary movement. As a result, two inner wall elements can be connected to one another by the connecting element, e.g. fixed to each other, especially without tools.

For example, the locking element is T-shaped or L-shaped, in particular anchored. Advantageously, the locking element is in a suitably designed e.g. rectangular or e.g. oval holding element can be screwed in and / or swiveled in. Advantageously, the connecting element can be fastened in the inserted state into an inner wall element by means of a pivoting and / or rotating and / or sliding movement together with the inner wall element on a further inner wall element.

The connecting element is preferably inserted with its first front side into the interior of the first inner wall element and can be arranged with its second front side, in particular with its latching element on the second inner wall element. It is also proposed that a pivot axis of the pivoting movement and / or an axis of rotation of the rotary movement and / or a sliding direction of the sliding movement be present parallel to a longitudinal axis of a first inner wall element and / or perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a second inner wall element. Advantageously, the pivot and / or axis of rotation and / or direction of displacement is present parallel to a large flat side of the first inner wall element and / or perpendicular to a large flat side of the second inner wall element.

It also proves advantageous that an inner wall element has a plurality of holding elements. As a result, a plurality of further inner wall elements can be arranged on an inner wall element and / or a further inner wall element is at different positions, e.g. Can be flexibly arranged on the inner wall element.

It is also advantageous that the plurality of holding elements of the inner wall element are provided in a grid-like manner on the large flat side of the inner wall element. The holding elements are advantageously present on the inner wall element aligned with one another in a grid. For example, the holding elements are spaced apart from one another in a grid-like manner. An embodiment of the plurality of holding elements on the inner wall element advantageously corresponds to a grid dimension of the partitioning system.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the connecting element is mirror-symmetrical, in particular axisymmetric. Advantageously, the plurality of holding elements are mirror-symmetrically present on an inner wall element.
