Description

State of the art

In furniture construction, special requirements are placed on movable furniture parts or drawers which can be moved or displaced via guides on the furniture. In particular, in the case of drawers which, for example, are composed of several or different components for design aspects, a simple assembly of the drawer and its convenience are important.

Object and advantages of the invention

The object of the present invention is to improve a drawer of the type described in the introduction, in particular with regard to a separately attachable wall attachment component that is present on the drawer. In particular, a wall attachment component of the drawer should advantageously be attachable to adjacent sections of drawer walls and reliably secured over a comparatively long service life.

This problem is solved by the independent claims. In the dependent claims, advantageous and expedient embodiments of the invention are discussed.

The invention is based on a connecting device for connecting a first drawer wall to a second drawer wall adjoining the first drawer wall, the drawer walls forming part of a drawer in the connected state and being spatially aligned at an angle to one another.

The connecting device according to the invention is in particular a drawer wall connecting device.

For example, if a separate wall attachment component is provided on a drawer wall, its secure and permanently reliable fastening must be ensured. Since the drawer is moved relatively frequently over its life cycle, the components such as the wall attachment component of the drawer are exposed to particular static and dynamic loads, which must be taken into account when attaching the wall attachment component to the remaining components of the drawer. For example, drawers with their components, including several drawer walls, are subject to changing loads when they are used, since the drawer is moved alternately in an opening and a closing direction or in opposite directions. For example, undesirable noises can occur during the movement of the drawer if, for example, there is only a comparatively small amount of play in the wall attachment component attached to the drawer as an additional component, or if the drawer is in use.

The essence of the invention is that the connecting device is designed to secure a wall attachment component, which forms a separate component of the drawer from the drawer walls, the connecting device comprising a bearing section and an adjustment part received on the bearing section with a contact side of the adjustment part and an actuator, wherein the adjustment part is adjustable relative to the bearing section, so that in the connected state of the drawer walls, a distance between the contact side of the adjustment part and an end face of the wall attachment component facing the adjustment part can be changed, and wherein for an adjustment movement of the adjustment part relative to the bearing section, a guide contour on the bearing section and one on the Guide contour matched counter-contour are formed on the adjustment part such that the adjustment part moves in an adjustment direction with an adjustment movement of the adjustment part on the bearing section that can be predetermined by the adjusting element, whereby ei n distance of the contact side relative to the bearing section can be changed, whereby a distance between the contact side of the adjustment part and a position that can be assumed by the end face of the wall attachment component can be changed. The adjustment of the adjustment part is advantageously possible from the outside with respect to the drawer or by a person manually with a simple handle or without aids such as a tool. The adjustment direction comprises a forward adjustment direction and a backward adjustment direction opposite to the forward adjustment direction or a forward adjustment movement and a backward adjustment movement. The forward adjustment movement and the back adjustment movement preferably comprise two superimposed movements in a first direction and in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The contact side is accordingly moved obliquely in relation to the use state or moved both in a horizontal direction, or back and forth, and simultaneously or superimposed in a vertical or vertical direction or moved down and up.

In this way, a wall attachment component can be attached to a drawer in a simple and reliable manner and secured against falling out

So far, in the case of drawers with a wall attachment component, which consists of glass, for example, which is often preferred because of the design and transparency, the wall attachment component can fall out to the rear due to tolerances in particular of the glass wall attachment component. Because that is in the longitudinal direction of the drawer wall Wall attachment component exposed to increased stress in particular with changing directions of movement such as the frequent or alternating opening and closing movements of the drawer in question.

At right angles to the direction of movement of the drawer, the wall attachment component is held comparatively securely in corresponding grooves on the adjoining drawer components and is secured against falling out.

In the direction of movement, however, this is not readily possible, since to assemble the wall attachment component, it must be inserted in the longitudinal direction of the grooves or in the direction of movement of the drawer and only then has to be secured in this direction afterwards.

In addition, undesired noises during an opening and / or closing movement of the drawer are prevented, since with the connection device according to the invention any bearing play of the wall attachment component relative to the drawer components adjoining the wall attachment component is canceled or brought to zero, at least in the adjustment direction of the adjustment part . Because so far, for example, due to tolerances of the components and / or the wall attachment component, play or undesired bearing play of the wall attachment component occurs, in particular in the direction of movement of the drawer, which is avoided by the connection device according to the invention.

The securing of the wall attachment component can advantageously be set up with the connection device according to the invention. It is also advantageous because the bearing section and the adjustment part can be integrated into a corner connector component for connecting angled drawer walls, or can be attached or plugged onto them. This is advantageous because the corner connector component is necessary anyway.

Advantageously, the bearing part, the adjustment part and the actuator are subsequently or additionally easily attachable to a known corner connector component z. B. attachable. The corner connector component is used to connect angled abutting drawer walls such. B. formed a drawer side wall with a drawer rear wall. In this case, connecting sections of the corner connector component grip on the inside or outside such as, for. B. an outside of a drawer back wall and an inside of a hollow chamber frame, which are connected to each other.

With the adjustment of the adjustment part, the contact side of the adjustment part can preferably be brought into contact with an end face of the wall attachment component. This can be recognized haptically by the person making the adjustment, since further adjustment in the relevant adjustment direction is then blocked.

The adjustment part and the bearing section are designed so that the adjustment part and thus the contact side can be or is moved when adjusting in the forward adjustment direction in a first adjustment direction and at the same time in a second adjustment direction transverse to the first adjustment direction. When the adjustment part is adjusted in the back adjustment direction, the adjustment part is correspondingly moved against the first adjustment direction and at the same time against the second adjustment direction.

The movement of the adjustment part in the second adjustment direction, which preferably corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the wall attachment component, means that the contact side of the adjustment part comes or can be brought into contact with an associated, preferably rear, end face of the wall attachment component.

It is for example so that the narrow z. B. rear face of the wall attachment component has a normal or surface normal which coincides with the longitudinal direction of the wall attachment component, preferably coincides with the longitudinal direction of the drawer or preferably with the direction of movement of the drawer. The corresponding end face of the wall attachment component is, for example, a narrow rear end facing in the direction of a drawer rear wall. The plane spanned by the end face is preferably parallel to a plane spanned by a drawer front and / or a drawer rear wall.

When the adjustment part is adjusted, the spatial alignment of the contact side or a plane spanned by the contact side is retained, or a parallel offset of the contact side takes place with the adjustment of the adjustment part.

The adjustment part can be moved relative to the bearing section from a basic position that can be assumed on the bearing section into another setting position on the bearing section, such as an intermediate or maximum position, and back from the other setting position into the basic position. In the basic and the maximum position, an adjustment is possible in only one or only in the forward or only in the back direction. B. a stop.

In the basic position, the distance between the contact side and the bearing section is preferably minimal, and in the maximum position the distance between the contact side and the bearing section is preferably a maximum.

In a securable or secured setting position of the adjustment part, including the basic and maximum position, the contact side of the adjustment part is offset in an adjustment direction of the connecting device, preferably parallel to the contact side of the adjustment part in the basic position or the maximum position of the adjustment part on the bearing section.

The connecting device advantageously comprises a corner connector component with two connecting sections aligned at an angle to one another, a first connecting section being designed for attachment to the first drawer wall and a second connecting section being designed for attachment to the second drawer wall. The first drawer wall is preferably a side component of the drawer such as a side frame, e.g. B. a hollow chamber frame or a hollow chamber side frame or a profile such as a hollow profile or a side wall profile.

This enables the first drawer wall to be connected to the second drawer wall in an advantageous and compact manner. In particular, the connection device can be used to establish a stable connection between the two angled drawer walls and, at the same time, to bring the wall attachment component, which is attached to one of the two drawer walls, into a secure and play-free attachment situation.

A known corner connector component can advantageously be used for the connecting device according to the invention. Preferably, the connecting device can be provided in such a way that an additional or further component can, in particular, be detachably and subsequently attached to a known corner connector component, thus forming the connecting device according to the invention. The wall attachment component can thus be easily mounted on a frame component of the drawer, for example. The additional or further component preferably comprises the bearing section, the adjustment part and the actuator. The further component can accordingly be provided in a coordinated manner as an attachment component which can be attached to a corner connector component known, for example. The further component can preferably be plugged onto one of the two connecting sections. The other connecting section remains at least essentially free of the further component. The further component is preferably received on the connecting section which can be attached to the drawer wall, in particular a drawer rear wall, the surface side of which is aligned parallel to the contact side of the adjustment part.

The corner connector component is preferably designed as a corner connector component for connecting a drawer side wall and a drawer rear wall. The corner connector component is then matched to the first connection section resting against the drawer side wall and the second connecting section resting against the outside of the drawer rear wall in a rear corner area of the drawer. The further component is preferably received on the second connecting section of the corner connector component or on the connecting section which is intended to rest against the rear wall of the drawer. The further component is preferably received on the second connecting section in the area of a longitudinal edge of the second connecting section. The longitudinal edge is preferably a vertical longitudinal edge of the second connecting section or, in the attached state on the drawer, a vertically oriented outer edge of the second connecting section.

The corner connector component is preferably a sheet metal component. The corner connector component is, for example, an edged sheet metal component with two connecting sections that are each strip-shaped in their basic shape. An outer contour of the second connecting section, for contact with a drawer rear wall, encloses an area which is approximately two to three times as large as the area which is enclosed by the outer contour of the second connecting section.

The length of the second connecting section is preferably adapted to a height of the associated drawer rear wall or at least approximately corresponds to the height of the drawer rear wall. The first connection section is preferably aligned at right angles to the first connection section and then, in its lower region, on the second connection section, for example bent, in one piece. A height of the first connecting section is preferably matched to a height of the relevant drawer side wall or does not exceed the height. Preferably above the drawer side wall or the drawer frame, the height of which is regularly less than the height of the drawer rear wall, the wall attachment component is present or is supported on the underside on a narrow upper side of the drawer side wall. An underside of the wall attachment component preferably engages in a corresponding groove in the upper side of the drawer side wall for the lateral or bilateral delimitation of a lower edge region of the wall attachment component.

On the bearing section and / or on the relevant, for example second, connecting section of the corner connector component, prepared attachment means are provided for a preferably detachable attachment of the bearing section to the corner connector component. The attachment means are, for example, as a locking or Snap or screw connection means designed. Alternatively, the bearing section on which the adjustment part is received can also be permanently connected to the corner connector component or be present thereon in one piece or be an integral part of the corner connector component.

One advantage arises from the fact that the bearing section and the adjustment part are designed in such a way that when the adjustment part is adjusted, a distance between the contact side of the adjustment part in the direction of a free end of the first connection section can be changed. The starting point is a corner connector component with a first connecting section and a second connecting section. The first connecting section is designed to be attached to the first drawer wall, on which the wall attachment component can be arranged, preferably adjoining above it over the length of the first drawer wall, such as preferably a drawer side wall. The change in distance enables a tolerance of the wall attachment component to be compensated for in its longitudinal direction. With a z. B. distance reduction is the contact side of the adjustment in the direction of the free end of the first connecting portion and thus in the direction of the relevant side z. B. a rear end face of the wall attachment component is reduced until the contact side of the adjustment part abuts the end face. In this position, the adjustment part is preferably secured against being moved back with a latching arrangement. With the contact of the contact side of the adjustment part and the rear face of the wall attachment component, a mechanical fixed stop is provided in the longitudinal direction of the wall attachment component and this is fixed in its position, i.e. any play that regularly exists before the adjustment is eliminated. The wall attachment component is thus clamped in the longitudinal direction on both sides, at the front z. B. with a front related wall attachment component end face on a non-adjustable stop, for example on a drawer front element which is opposite the drawer rear wall in the longitudinal direction of the drawer. At the rear, the wall attachment component is abutted with the rear end face on the contact side of the adjustment part. This means that with the adjustment of the adjustment part and thus the adjustment of the contact side of the adjustment part, the entire wall attachment component in the area z. B. a millimeter or a fraction of a millimeter in the forward direction towards the drawer front element. Slipping backwards or falling out of the wall attachment component and / or an undesirable noise when moving the drawer due to play of the wall attachment component in the longitudinal direction of the drawer wall or the drawer side wall is thus excluded.

It is also advantageous that a latching arrangement is provided with which the adjustment part can be secured on the bearing section in an adjustment position of the adjustment part reached by an adjustment movement. In this way, after the adjustment part has been adjusted, an unintentional adjustment of the adjustment part on the bearing section, which is fixed in position relative to the drawer, can be avoided. A set position of the adjustment part is thus permanently retained. With the latching arrangement, forces acting on the wall attachment component and thus also on the adjustment part can be absorbed, in particular when the drawer moves back and forth on a furniture part, without the adjustment part being adjusted automatically. Without a latching arrangement, the adjustment part can possibly be adjusted back again by the movement of the drawer due to its opening and closing movement and thus the wall attachment component can generate undesirable noises.

The adjustment part can be releasably latched with the latching arrangement in an adjustable setting position on the bearing section. Preferably, several, for example three or more different, each securable setting positions can be set up, which differ in their position in the adjustment direction or in the longitudinal direction of the wall attachment component, for example, by mutually identical spacings. A maximum possible adjustment of the contact side in the adjustment direction is z. B. a few millimeters.

In the secured setting position, the plane provided by the preferably flat, flat contact section is preferably offset parallel to the plane of the contact side of the adjustment part in an indented basic position of the adjustment part on the bearing section. The indented basic position of the adjustment part means a position which is limited in one direction and which is at a maximum distance from the free end of the first connecting section of the corner connector component. From the basic position, the adjustment part can be adjusted in the direction of the free end of the first connecting section or brought into different adjustment positions.

The adjustment part with the contact side is preferably reversible as often as required in securable setting positions and can be brought out again, z. B. in the basic position. In the basic position, the adjustment part is preferably in one direction against a stop on the bearing section. It is useful if the adjustment part is in its basic position on the bearing part before using the connection device or before securing the wall attachment component, i.e. there is a maximum distance between the contact side and the free end of the first connection section.

When the connecting device is in use, the system side is adjusted with the adjustment of the adjustment part in the direction of a mating section on the wall attachment component such. B. moves the rear face, so that a contact between the contact side of the adjustment part and the mating section can be set up on the drawer component.

The latching arrangement is preferably designed such that the adjustment part has at least one latching position, preferably several latching positions, and a non-latching position between two adjacent latching positions on the bearing section. An established latching of the adjustment part on the bearing section can be canceled by external action, for example by manual operation of the adjustment part.

The locking arrangement preferably has sections on the bearing section that can be moved past one another under friction on the one hand and on the adjustment part on the other hand, for example a slot with a contoured edge course on the bearing section and at least one counter-contour on the adjustment part, for example with an elevation protruding in the direction of a slot edge that fits onto the slot is coordinated with the edge gradient. For example, in a securable setting position or locking position, the elevation snaps into a wider slot area on the contoured edge course. Between the preferably several possible different latching positions along the adjustment path, for example comprising several wider slot areas offset from one another along the edge, areas on the slot, e.g. B. narrow areas and / or the mating contour formed such that the mating contour can be moved past places with increased frictional effect due to the elastic behavior of the areas concerned.

Another advantage according to the invention is that the actuator comprises a sliding arrangement. A stepless adjustment movement of the adjustment part relative to the bearing section can thus be carried out by actuating the adjustment part. An exact or stepless positioning of the system side to resolve the distance between the system side and z. B. the front side of the wall attachment component can be set up so that a stop contact of the contact side and the front side takes place. The wall attachment component is then available on the drawer in a vibration-free manner.

The actuator preferably has a section on the adjustment part and a section on the bearing part, which are in contact with one another, the contact preferably taking place over the entire adjustment path of the adjustment part.

The adjustment part is, for example, guided via the actuator, preferably displaceably adjustable on the bearing section, for example in the manner of a wedge gear with inclined surfaces. The adjustment part is displaceable on the bearing part, with the adjustment part being movable in a first adjustment direction and at the same time in a second adjustment direction transversely to the first adjustment direction when it is moved. The movement of the adjustment part in the z. B. the second adjustment direction leads to the fact that the contact side of the adjustment part approaches the relevant side of the wall attachment component and can be brought into contact with the end face of the wall attachment component. The movement of the adjustment part in the first adjustment direction, on the other hand, does not result in any change in the distance between the contact side of the adjustment part and the end face of the wall attachment component.

According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, there is an advantage that the actuator comprises an eccentric arrangement. In this way, the distance between the contact side of the adjustment part and the end face of the wall attachment component can be changed in a space-saving and functionally reliable manner. With the eccentric, the adjustment part is linearly adjustable back and forth by z. B. Rotating an eccentric of the eccentric assembly clockwise and counterclockwise. This can advantageously be done with a turning tool.

It is also advantageous that the actuator is designed for manual adjustment of the adjustment part and / or for adjustment with an operating tool. This is easy to use.

The z. B. locked setting positions of the adjustment part relative to the bearing part can advantageously be set up and canceled again by manual actuation and / or with a tool.

An advantageous modification of the invention is based on the fact that the actuator has a guide surface on the bearing section and a guide surface on the adjustment part, the guide surface on the bearing section and the guide surface on the adjustment part remaining in mutual contact when the adjustment part is adjusted relative to the bearing section. In this way, reliable surface guidance is always provided when the adjustment part is being adjusted.

The mutual abutment preferably takes place over the entire possible adjustment path of the adjustment part. The guide surfaces are preferably part of the sliding arrangement. The guide surfaces are z. B. aligned obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the adjustment part or the bearing section. The guide surfaces are designed, for example, in the manner of an inclined surface sliding gear or a sliding bearing.

It is advantageous if the bearing section comprises a window-like recess through which the adjusting part extends, the contact side of the adjusting part being present on one side of the recess.

On another side of the recess there is preferably the actuator or an actuating section for manual actuation of the adjustment part.

The bearing section is preferably formed from a metal material. This is advantageous for reasons of stability.

It is also advantageous if the adjustment part is formed from a plastic material. This is advantageous in terms of production technology. In addition, elastic deformation of sections on the adjustment part, which is particularly advantageous in the area of the latching arrangement, can be set up comparatively well with a plastic material. In this context, for example, at least one area of the bearing section, which preferably belongs to the latching arrangement, consists of a plastic material.

Another advantage is that the guide contour on the bearing section and the mating contour on the adjustment part are designed in such a way that the adjustment part can be adjusted between a basic position on the bearing section and a maximum position on the bearing section, wherein in the basic position and / or the maximum position a between the adjustment part and mechanical stop acting on the bearing section against further movement of the adjustment part is formed on the bearing section in one spatial direction. In this way, the adjustment part on the bearing section cannot be unintentionally adjusted so far that the adjustment part detaches from the bearing part.

In the basic and the maximum position, the adjustment part can be adjusted in a direction opposite to the spatial direction concerned.

The invention also extends to a drawer wall of a drawer, a connecting device according to one of the embodiments discussed above being provided. A drawer wall is thus advantageously designed for connection to a further drawer wall, one of the drawer walls having a wall attachment component.

The adjustment part of the connecting device can be adjusted in a spatial direction which relates to a play of movement of the separate wall attachment component attached to a drawer wall.

At z. B. a drawer back wall, two corresponding connecting devices are preferably available, which is advantageous because usually not just one side wall, but both drawer side walls adjoining the drawer back wall have a wall attachment component, in particular for design reasons, according to which both drawer side walls of a drawer are regularly designed identically.

Finally, the invention relates to a piece of furniture with a drawer which has a drawer wall designed as previously discussed. The furniture includes, in particular, a furniture body on which the drawer is slidably received via guide means such as a full or partial rail extension. The drawer preferably has two connecting devices according to the invention, one in each case in a rear corner area between the drawer rear wall and the respective drawer side wall.

To the actuator 17th In a broad sense, it also includes the operating section 21 , over which the force to move the adjustment part 16 is initiated.

Another embodiment of the invention, not shown, realizes the adjustment movement according to M5 and M6 of the adjustment part via an actuator comprising an eccentric arrangement. A rotatable eccentric of the eccentric arrangement can act on the adjustment part and move it at least in the direction of M5 or M6, for example by turning the eccentric clockwise or counterclockwise from the outside with an operating tool, for example with a screwdriver.

In this way, a manually set position of the adjustment part that has been reached or desired in each case 16 on the fixed bearing section 15th is secured, is a latching arrangement 24 intended.

The locking arrangement 24 has portions on the bearing portion which can be moved past one another under friction 15th on the one hand and on the adjustment part 16 on the other hand, for example a slot 25th with a contoured edge on the bearing section 15th and a mating contour on the adjustment part 16 with an elevation protruding in the direction of a slot edge 26th that fit on the slot 25th is coordinated with the edge gradient. The assessment 26th includes two convex ribs 26a and 26b on both sides of the operating section 21 protrude laterally outwards. For example, the ribs snap 26a , 26b each in a securable setting position or locking position of the adjustment part 16 into a wider slot area 25a on the contoured edge of the slot 25th a. Between the preferably several possible different latching positions along the adjustment path, for example comprising several wider slot areas offset from one another 25a along the edge, there are areas at the slot 25th , e.g. B. narrow areas formed in such a way that by elastic behavior of the ribs 26a , 26b at the points between the wider slit areas 25a Can be moved past, which with increased frictional effect is only possible with increased expenditure of force.
