Description

The invention relates to a side trolley and a kitchen system with such a side trolley.

Side carts, in particular mobile side carts, are generally known and are used, for example, in the kitchen area to provide additional flexible storage space for preparing food. Such side carts are also used as serving carts. Such side carts can be moved on rollers, for example, so that they can be moved easily. Such side carts are often only used temporarily and require a certain amount of space, so they can sometimes be a nuisance when not in use.

From the AT 343 853 B a collapsible bedside table can be seen, which has a frame with three side parts which are pivotally attached to one another and which are oriented parallel to one another in the folded position. A cover plate lying on top can also be pivoted backwards and is arranged parallel to the side parts in the folded position.

From the DE 20 18 008 A a collapsible table can be seen, in which table surfaces can be pivoted against a back part and two side parts can be folded against the back part.

Self-made furniture is also known, for example a table GB 2 052 959 A , which are partially prefabricated and folded for transport and which can, for example, be fully assembled by the end user.

Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object of specifying a particularly mobile sidecar, a kitchen system with such a sidecar and an arrangement of such a sidecar, whereby the sidecar can be stowed away in a compact and space-saving manner.

The object is solved according to the invention by a side cart with the features of claim 1. Furthermore, the object is solved according to the invention by a kitchen system with such a side cart with the features of claim 14 and by an arrangement of such a side cart according to claim 15.

The side trolley has a cubic frame which, when assembled, extends in a transverse direction, a longitudinal direction and a vertical direction. The transverse direction and the longitudinal direction together form a horizontal plane. The frame has a back part, a first side part, a second side part, an upper base plate and a lower base plate. The back part in turn has a frame. This is a frame formed from struts, which has at least one upper cross strut and preferably also a lower cross strut, a first vertical strut and a second vertical strut. The frame of the back part is formed exclusively by the struts, which span a common flat vertical plane. Alternatively, the frame has or is formed by a plate. The back extends generally in the vertical and transverse directions. When assembled, the side parts extend in the vertical and longitudinal directions.

The two side parts and the two base plates are each articulated to the back part, so that they can be pivoted about rotation or pivot axes so that the side trolley can be folded. This can be folded in such a way that in the folded state the back part and the two side parts and preferably also the two base plates are oriented parallel to one another. All parts of the side trolley are therefore oriented parallel to one another in the folded state and therefore each extend within a plane which is spanned by the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction. The particular advantage of this side trolley is that the individual elements are aligned plane-parallel to one another when folded, so that a very compact size is achieved when folded.

In a preferred embodiment, the second side part is directly attached to the frame in an articulated manner, in such a way that in the folded state it runs directly adjacent to the rear part.

Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, at least one spacer is arranged on the frame on the side of the first side part, to which the first side part is attached in an articulated manner. The spacer has a length which corresponds at least and preferably exactly to a thickness of the second side part, up to a tolerance clearance. This spacer therefore shifts a rotation or joint axis for the first side part - in particular by the thickness of the other side part - forward from the frame of the rear part, so that in the folded state the first side part runs at a distance from the rear part and parallel to it. The spacer, which is only arranged on the side of the first side part and is in particular formed at right angles to the frame of the back part, therefore provides the joint connections between the first side tenteil and the back part on the one hand and between the second side part and the back part arranged in different vertical planes. The spacer therefore forms a gap between the rear part and the first side part in the parallel alignment, in which the second side part is placed in the folded state. In the folded state, the back part and the two side parts lie directly against one another, at least to a large extent, except for a tolerance gap.

In a preferred embodiment, each of these parts (back part, side parts) has a frame formed from struts, so that these individual frames are therefore arranged directly next to one another and parallel to one another. The struts are in particular profile elements, in particular metal profiles and especially steel profiles. These preferably have a rectangular, in particular square, cross-sectional shape and are designed as hollow profiles.

In an expedient further development, exactly two spacers are provided, which are arranged on an upper and a lower frame corner of the back part. The first side part is attached to these.

In an embodiment of the side parts with a frame formed from struts, each side part has an upper and a lower longitudinal strut as well as a front vertical strut connecting them. These struts form a respective side frame. This is preferably just U-shaped, i.e. open towards the back. In an expedient embodiment, the longitudinal struts in the open U-shaped area are each articulated at the ends to the rear part. The first side part is connected via the two spacers and the second side part directly to corner areas of the frame itself, i.e. either with a cross strut or with a vertical strut of the frame.

As an alternative to designing the side parts with a frame formed from struts, the side parts have or are formed by a plate.

The back part defines a free space surrounded by the frame for the two base plates. This free space is formed as an open space between the cross struts and vertical struts. Both floor panels are arranged in this parking space when folded. They therefore run parallel to each other within this parking space.

Conveniently, the two floor panels do not protrude beyond the frame when folded. This means that in the folded state, the base panels have a common thickness, which is preferably less than or equal to the thickness of the frame and therefore in particular of the struts. What is crucial for the space-saving arrangement is that at least one and preferably both floor panels penetrate into the free space formed by the frame. Depending on the choice of material for the floor panels, it may be necessary to use thicker floor panels so that they protrude slightly beyond the thickness of the frame.

For the desired parallel arrangement of the floor panels within the free space formed by the struts of the rear part, the lower floor panel is preferably pivoted upwards and folded into the free space.

Furthermore, the upper base plate can preferably be pivoted from its horizontal orientation in the assembled state into the free space by rotating backwards through 270°. The articulated connection of the upper base plate is therefore suitably designed so that such a rotational movement is possible and furthermore that in the folded state the upper base plate also runs parallel to the rear part and especially on the inside of the frame.

For this special folding movement, the upper crossbar of the frame part is preferably divided and has at least one, preferably exactly one, intermediate piece, which is rotatably fastened between two, in particular outer, sections. The upper base plate is attached to the intermediate piece in a rotationally fixed manner. The upper base plate, together with the intermediate piece, can be folded backwards by the desired 270°. On the one hand, this design allows it to be folded backwards. On the other hand, this configuration allows the upper base plate - as well as the lower base plate - to be arranged completely within an intermediate space spanned by the transverse and longitudinal struts. For example, the plates are flush with the top of the struts. The panels are generally preferably held by the transverse struts of the back part and the longitudinal struts of the side parts.

In an expedient further development, it is further provided that the upper base plate can be rotated about an upper axis of rotation and the lower base plate can be rotated about a lower axis of rotation, the two axes of rotation running in the transverse direction and being arranged offset from one another with respect to the longitudinal direction. This means that the top Axis of rotation is offset backwards relative to the lower axis of rotation. This supports the plane-parallel orientation and alignment of the two floor panels within the free space formed by the frame.

The lower base plate is further held in the folded position via a fixing element, that is, when the lower base plate is in a vertical orientation in the free space. In particular, an additional intermediate strut is attached to the frame of the rear part, which serves as a stop for the lower base plate. The fixation is expediently carried out on this intermediate strut. This intermediate strut is preferably just a sheet metal strip and not a hollow profile. The intermediate strut therefore has a smaller thickness than the frame. When folded, the intermediate strut is arranged between the two floor panels. The lower base plate is therefore folded onto this intermediate strut from the front and the upper base plate rests on this intermediate strut from the back.

The fixing element used is, for example, an element for forming a detachable non-positive and/or positive connection, such as a magnet, a Velcro element and in particular a latching or snap element. The snap element is designed to be flexible and preferably has a starting slope along which the lower base plate slides when pivoting and pushes the snap element away until it forms a rear grip with the base plate. The snap element then positively engages an upper end face of the then vertically oriented base plate.

In an expedient further development, the two base plates can each be connected to the side parts, in particular to the longitudinal struts, via releasable fastening elements, in particular via plug-in connections. To assemble in the assembled state, it is therefore only necessary to open the two side parts and fold the base panels into the horizontal orientation, so that they automatically come into engagement with the side parts, in particular with the longitudinal struts, by means of the plug-in connection when folded over. Since the base plates are arranged in particular between the longitudinal struts, a high level of rigidity of the entire side trolley is achieved. The preferred design of the plug connection, in particular via a tongue-and-groove connection or alternatively via a pin-hole connection, enables a particularly simple structure. In particular, a detachable positive connection, specifically a locking connection, is provided. This ensures that the base plate is secured in the desired position. To form this positive connection, a snap or latching element and a corresponding receptacle are provided, which are attached to the base plate on the one hand and to the side parts, especially the longitudinal struts, on the other hand. All that is required is folding it over without any other measures such as screwing, etc. In particular, the assembly and folding are carried out without tools. With a snap or latching connection, the snap element simply needs to be pushed away slightly to release the connection.

As already explained above, the two base panels rest on the opposite longitudinal struts of the side parts and on one of the two cross struts of the back part, namely on the inside, so that the floor panels are arranged in the manner of an infill between the struts.

When assembled, the side trolley preferably has a square base area (viewed in the horizontal plane) with an edge length in the range of 400 to 600 mm and in particular in the range of 500 to 580 mm. On the one hand, the square design promotes space-saving folding and also has a good aesthetic effect.

The selected edge length is dimensioned such that the length of the side trolley in the folded state is preferably below a typical installation depth of a kitchen unit, which is usually 600 mm. With this measure, the side trolley can be inserted in the folded state, for example, into a free space below a worktop of a kitchenette. Furthermore, it is provided that the height of the side trolley including the wheels attached to it is 600 mm to 850 mm. This height is dimensioned in such a way that the desired parking underneath a worktop with a typical working height is possible.

Furthermore, it should be emphasized that in a preferred embodiment, the side trolley only has a width (viewed in the longitudinal direction) of 7 to 15 cm and in particular <10 cm when folded. The overall width is largely defined by the thickness of the profiles of the frame and the side frames.

For storage in the folded state, a holder, in particular a wall holder, is expediently provided for preferably hanging the side trolley in the folded state. For example, in one embodiment variant, this holder is designed in the manner of a U-shaped bracket extending in the transverse direction, a base of this bracket being attached to the wall and two side parts lying opposite in the transverse direction protruding in the longitudinal direction, on which the folded side trolley is hung. Alternatively or additionally, the wall holder is designed in the manner of a telescopic rod, so that, for example, the wall holder can first be pulled telescopically forward from a parking space below a kitchen countertop, so that the side trolley can be easily attached hanging to the wall holder and then back into the parking space below one Worktop can be inserted.

An accessory element is also expediently provided, which can be hung on the frame, for example on one of the side parts, in particular on a longitudinal profile or also on a transverse profile. For this purpose, the accessory element preferably has a hook, specifically a hook-shaped or U-shaped profile, which is placed, for example, on the longitudinal or transverse profile from above. For example, in one embodiment variant, the accessory element is designed as a socket element and has an integrated socket or an integrated socket strip. The socket preferably has a connecting cable with a plug at the end for plugging into a normal socket.

Alternatively or additionally, the accessory element is designed as a hook strip, kitchen roll holder, spice holder, bottle holder, storage element, etc. An accessory set with several of these accessory elements is expediently provided.

The storage element is, for example, a simple storage plate that expands the areas defined by the floor plates. When suspended, the storage element is aligned with the respective base plate or, alternatively, is arranged offset from it. The storage element generally preferably extends over the entire length of the respective transverse or longitudinal profile.

In a preferred variant, the storage element has a holder for utensils. The storage element is specifically designed as a box which can be closed by a pivoting lid. This lid then also forms a storage area.

The storage element has, for example, a width in the range of 10cm to 20cm. The length is preferably adapted to the length of the profiles. It is preferably between 50cm and 60cm. When designed as a box, the storage element has a height, for example, in the range of 3 to 10 cm and in particular in the range of 5 cm. The pivotable lid preferably extends over the entire length and width of the box.

In general, the accessory is part of the side trolley. The accessory elements can therefore be used to create different variants of the side trolley. A basic variant is the side trolley without any accessories.

Accordingly, the kitchen system is designed in such a way that it has at least one or more of these accessory elements in addition to the side trolley. In addition, the kitchen system also has a retaining strip designed in the manner of a railing, which in particular has the same cross section as the longitudinal struts of the side trolley. This kitchen system is characterized by the fact that the accessories typically found in the kitchen, such as a spice holder, kitchen roll holder, etc., can be hung on the holding bar as well as on the side trolley. The holding strip is typically designed for wall mounting in the kitchen. Such a side trolley therefore allows such kitchen utensils to be easily made available in another area, for example in an outdoor area (barbecue area).

The invention also relates to the use of the side trolley or the kitchen system according to one of claims 1 to 15 or the arrangement of the side trolley in a furniture line, in particular a kitchen line, which has the previously described parking space in which the side trolley is in its folded state can be positioned or is positioned. The parking space is in particular a free space within the furniture line/kitchen line and especially below a worktop. The free space is preferably arranged adjacent to a (lower) cupboard of the furniture line/kitchen unit, either between two adjacent cupboards or between the cupboard and a wall.

The side trolley 2 shown in the figures is generally mobile and foldable. It has a frame 4 on which castors 6 are attached. The frame itself is formed by a back part 8, a first side part 10, a second side part 12, an upper base plate 14 and a lower base plate 16. The back part 8 has a frame 18, which is formed by profile struts. These are a first vertical strut 20, a second vertical strut 22, a lower cross strut 24 and an upper cross strut 26. The side parts 10, 12 in turn each have a side frame 28, which is designed in particular as a U-shaped frame and each has a front Vertical strut 30 and an upper longitudinal strut 32 and a lower longitudinal strut 34 are formed. The individual struts of the frame 18 and the side frame 28 are designed as hollow profiles specifically made of metal, in particular steel, and in particular with a rectangular, especially square cross-section.

The side trolley 2 generally extends in a transverse direction 36, a longitudinal direction 38 and in a vertical direction 40. In the assembled state, as shown in 1 is shown, the back part 8 lies in a plane spanned by the transverse direction 36 and vertical direction 40 and the side parts 10, 12 each lie in a plane spanned by the longitudinal direction 38 and vertical direction 40. Overall, the frame 4 is cubic and in particular has a square base area. When assembled, the two base plates 14,16 rest on the inside of the longitudinal struts 32,34 and the cross struts 24,26 in the manner of an infill.

The folding mechanism of the side trolley 2 is particularly important, so that it can be folded to save space. For this purpose, the two base plates 12, 14 are generally pivotally attached to the respective cross strut 24, 26. Furthermore, the side frames 28 are also pivotally attached to the rear part 8. Like, for example, based on the 2 can be seen is for the transfer from the constructed state 1 in the folded state, such as in the 5A until 5D is shown, only pivoting movements are required. In particular, no loosening of a fastener is necessary. All that is required is pivoting and folding movements, which automatically release any fixings. The two base plates 14, 16 are each to be pivoted upwards, starting from the assembled state. The lower base plate 16 is pivoted until it reaches a vertical orientation within a free space 42. The free space 42 is formed by the struts 20 to 26 of the frame 18. Specifically, the lower base plate 16 lies within this free space 42 without protruding beyond these struts in the longitudinal direction 38. Specifically, the lower base plate 16 rests on an intermediate strut 44, which is arranged in the transverse direction 36 between the vertical struts 20, 22. The lower base plate 16 rests in particular with an upper end on this intermediate strut 44 and is fixed there in particular via a snap element or via a magnet.

The upper base plate 14 is also pivoted upwards and pivoted backwards by a total of approximately 270°, so that it is pivoted onto or into the free space 42 from the rear. The upper base plate 14 is therefore hanging when folded, whereas the lower base plate 16 is standing.

After pivoting the base plates 14, 16, only the two side parts 10, 12 have to be folded inwards, i.e. towards the back part 8. Here, the second side part 12 is first folded in, which is pivotally attached directly to the frame 18 via an articulated connection. The first side part 10 is then pivoted in. This is the pivot axis offset forward in the longitudinal direction 38. For this purpose, spacers 48 are arranged on the frame 18 at an upper and lower frame corner 46. These are essentially profile or strut pieces that protrude at right angles from the respective frame corner 46. These have a length in the longitudinal direction 38 which corresponds to a thickness of a respective side part 10, 12. This allows the frame 18 and the two side frames 28 to be aligned parallel to one another to save space. In particular, due to the at least partial and preferably complete arrangement of the base plates 14, 16 in the free space 42, a very space-saving arrangement is achieved overall in the folded state, as is particularly the case in FIG 5A until 5D can be recognized. 5A shows a perspective view of the folded side trolley 5B a view from the front, the 5C a side view and the 5D a top view.

Based on 3 the connection of the first side part 10 via the spacer 48 can be seen. The spacer 48 is designed in the manner of a profile strut and is connected in an articulated manner to the upper and lower longitudinal struts 32,34. For this purpose, a pin of the spacer 48 engages in the inner cavity of the longitudinal strut 32,34. A pivot pin is arranged in this pin and is oriented in the vertical direction 40. At the end, each longitudinal strut 32, 34 preferably has a clearance on the inside, ie a piece of the profile wall is removed so that the pivoting movement is possible.

Based on 4 the pivoting connection of the lower base plate 16 can be seen. For this purpose, at least one and preferably two swivel brackets 50 are provided, which are mounted on the lower cross strut 24 so that they can pivot about a lower axis of rotation 52. The lower base plate 16 is attached to these swivel brackets 50. It is particularly important that the lower axis of rotation 52 is arranged in a front area of the lower cross strut 24.

Alternative to the one in the 4 In the variant shown, the base plate 16 is attached to an angled support strip, for example. The base plate 16 rests on one edge side of this. It can be pivoted into the vertical position together with the support bar.

The pivotable connection of the upper base plate 14 is based on 6 to recognize. It should first be emphasized that the upper cross strut 26 is divided and has at least one and preferably exactly one intermediate piece 54 to which the upper base plate 14 is fastened in a rotationally fixed manner (for the intermediate piece 54 see in particular the 5D ). The intermediate piece 54 is pivotally mounted on two outer sections 56. The intermediate piece 54 with the upper base plate 40 attached to it is about an upper axis of rotation 58 (cf. here 6 as well as 5D ) pivotable. This upper axis of rotation 58 is set back compared to the lower axis of rotation 52 when viewed in the longitudinal direction. In the folded position, due to this configuration, the intermediate piece 54 protrudes slightly beyond the remaining upper cross strut 26, as can be seen in particular from 5D can be recognized. At the same time, however, this ensures that the upper base plate 14 pivots into the free space 42 or at least comes directly adjacent to the plane spanned by the frame 18.

In the embodiment variant of 6 the upper base plate 14 is virtually inserted into the intermediate piece 54. In an alternative variant - for example, similar to the lower base plate 16 - a support strip running parallel to the profile and, for example, angled, in particular L-shaped, is provided, to which the upper base plate 14 is attached. In particular, the upper base plate 14 rests on this support strip with one edge side.

The variant with the support strips for the floor panels 14, 16 are used in particular for thicker floor panels 14, 16, which, for example, have a thickness in the range of 15mm to 22mm. Alternatively, the floor panels have a smaller thickness of, for example, 5 to 12 mm, especially in the one in the figures, in particular 4 and 6 illustrated variant.

To enable the rotational movement, suitable inserts, for example with a pivot pin on the one hand and a pin receptacle on the other, are expediently inserted into the hollow profiles of the intermediate piece 54 and the sections 56. The pivot pin is, for example, spring-loaded so that it can be pulled back for assembly and then snaps into the pin receptacle. Alternatively, another displacement option can also be provided for assembly.

The articulated connection of the lower base plate 16 is also in the 8th illustrated. This shows an enlarged view from below. The swivel bracket 50 can be seen, which is pivotally mounted on a pivot 60 of a joint piece 62. The joint piece 62 lies in the 8th lower cross strut 24, not shown.

Based on 7 A fastening element 64, designed for example as a groove piece, is also shown as part of a plug connection. This fastening element 64 is preferably arranged on a respective longitudinal strut 32, 34 in the front area, immediately adjacent to the front vertical strut 30. The fastening element 64 is, for example - as shown - attached to the inside of the respective longitudinal strut 32, 34 or alternatively, for example, also to the underside. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fastening element 64 has an opening, for example designed as a groove, into which a corresponding counterpart, for example a spring, which is fastened to the underside of the base plates 14, 16, engages in the folded state. In general, a counterpart to the fastening element 64 is formed on the respective base plate 14, 16. The connection is designed in particular as a positive connection with a latching or snap element and a corresponding snap receptacle. The snap element and snap receptacle each form complementary fastening elements 64. The snap element prevents unintentional loosening, so that overall the side trolley 2 is stable in the assembled state and accidental folding is prevented.

The fastening element 64 also defines a support surface on which the base plates 14, 16 rest. The support points of the base plates 14, 16 are preferably defined exclusively by the two opposing fastening elements 64. Alternatively, additional support elements are provided. These are arranged in particular in an area of the longitudinal struts 32, 34 opposite the fastening elements 64 in the vicinity of the rear cross struts 24, 26. They are designed, for example, as simple support plates that are attached to the underside of the longitudinal struts 32, 34. Unlike the fastening elements 64, the further support elements preferably serve exclusively to support the base plates 14, 16, without a snap or plug connection being formed.

The fastening element 64 is further preferably arranged and designed in such a way that the base plates 14, 16 are flush, at least largely flush, on their upper side with the upper side of the longitudinal struts 32, 34. In the exemplary embodiment shown 7 the fastening element 64 is arranged on the inside of the longitudinal strut 34. In this case, the thickness of the base plate 14, 16 is comparatively thin and in particular thinner than the longitudinal struts 32, 34. Especially in the case of thicker base plates, the fastening element 64 is attached to the underside of the longitudinal strut 64 and is in particular designed in the manner of an inwardly projecting support plate.

In an expedient design, the side trolley 2 and the frame 4 have no further elements. This means that in particular the side frames 28 are not filled in, i.e. they are only formed by the struts. In the same way, the back part is only formed by the struts as described.

In a preferred development, accessory elements are provided which can be hooked onto the struts, in particular the upper longitudinal struts 32, and are hooked in the assembled state. In the 9 This is shown as an example of a socket element 66. This is characterized by the fact that it has an integrated power strip. This power strip is therefore provided on one of the side parts 10,12. This power strip preferably has a connecting cable with a plug, which is plugged into a normal (Schuko) socket.

In 10 A spice holder 68 is also shown as an example of further accessory elements. The length of these accessory elements preferably corresponds to the length of the side parts 10, 12, so that the accessory elements 66, 68 are supported in particular on the vertical struts 20, 22, 30.
