Description
12~3~
The invention relates to a fitting for fastening the rail member of a drawer to a front plate or rear wall of a drawer, said rail member being provided with a hook member.
In modern furniture construction, drawers are widely known in which the front plate is adjustably fastened to the drawer side walls, i.e. to the side walls of the piece of furniture, by means of clip-in fittings. In some cases, a rail member is provided at the drawer above each drawer side wall and extends from the front plate to the rear wall of the piece of furniture or to a support member at the rear wall of the piece of furniture.
The same Applicant suggests in a prior application to use said ra;l member for the adjustment of the front plates.
In this arrangement, the rail member is provided with a threaded pin which is screwable into a holding member which is fittable into the front plate.
Furthermore, furniture connectors with dowel-like casings are generally known which allow a clamping connection between parts of pieces of furniture~
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the object of the invention to provide a connecting fitting which allows quick engagement of a rail member in 3~
3~14 the front plate or rear wall of a drawer.
According to the invention this is achieved by a dowel casing which is fittable into the front plate or the like and into which a hook member is engageable by means of the hook, said hook member being connected with the rail member or moulded thereto and projecting through an opening into the dowel casing.
The dowel casing according to the invention can be mounted in an easy and quick manner without the necessity of screws. A particular alignment need not be taken into consideration. Moreover, the complete fitting is received in the front plate.
It is advantageously provided that a metallic disk is inserted into the dowel casing which is made of plastics material, said disk having an opening through which the hook member extends with its head.
~y means of the metallic disk, the forces exerted by the hook can be taken up by a larger area of the dowel casing.
An embodiment of the invention provides that the hook member is provided with a flange which abuts flush with the dowel casing in the mounted position and is bevelled at the side opposite the hook.
Due to this arrangement, the rail member and the hook member are snuggly held at the dowel casing in the engaged 3C~4 position, the hook member having cylindrical shoulder which is snuggly received in the opening of the dowel casing, with engagement and disengagement of the hook member being easy nevertheless.
In the following an embodiment of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figures of the drawing in which Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic view of a drawer according to the invention, lo Figure 2 shows a vertical sectional view of a fitting according to the invention, with the rail member being engaged, Figure 3 shows a vertical sectional view of a fitting according to the invention, the hook member being shown in an intermediate position when being engaged and disengaged, respectively, Figure 4 shows a side view of a dowel casing according to the invention, parts thereof in section, Figure ~ shows a top view of a dowel casing according to the invention, Figure 6 shows a side view of the rail member, parts thereof in section, Figure 7 shows a side view of the hook member, and 3~14 Figure 8 shows a front view of the hook member.
In the figures of the drawing, reference numer 1 designates the front plate, reference number 3 the rear wa(l of the drawer and reference number 2 the side walls of the drawer.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The fitting according to the invention comprises a dowel casing 5 which is fittable into the front plate 1 and a hook member 6 which screwed into the rail member 4.
The hook member 6 is advantageously made of diecasting, but it can equally be of plastics material.
The dowel casing 5 is ;njection moulded plastics material.
The dowel casing 5 has a hollow space 8 and a central opening 9. A metallic disk 7 is fitted into the hollow space 8. The metallic disk 7 is held in an undercut 10 by means of a projection or projections 11.
The hook member 6 has a head 12 with a hook 13.
To permit insertion of the head 12 into the opening 9, the head 12 has a bevelled portion 18. The rail member 4 is fastened by pushing the dowel casing 5 into the front plate 1 in a manner known per se and by then scrr-wing or inserting the hook member 6 into the rail member 4. Then the rail member 4 is by means of the hook member 6 3~i~
engageable in the dowel casing 5 through the opening 9 in the manner shown in Fig. 3, so that the hook 13 comes to lie behind the metallic disk 7, as shown in Fig. 2.
The hook member 6 has a flange 14 which abuts flush with the dowel casing 5, i.e. at the front side thereof. The flange 14 is provided with a bevelled portion 15 opposite the hook 13 to avoid that the flange impedes engaging and disengaging of the hook member 6.
The avoid wobbling of the rail member 4, the hook member is provided with a cylindrical shoulder 16 which is snuggly received in the opening 9 of the dowel casing 5.
The dowel casing 5 has in a manner known per se circumferential r;bs 17 wh;ch ensure ;mproved anchoring of the dowel casing 5 in the front plate 1.
