Description

The invention relates to a fitting arrangement for a second element, also referred to as a support element, which is arranged in a height-adjustable manner relative to a first element, also referred to as a base element, according to the preamble of claim 1.

In addition, the invention relates to a piece of furniture provided with such a fitting arrangement and comprising the base element and the support element.

In particular, the invention relates to a device for the height-adjustable, positionally precise support of a second element of a piece of furniture relative to a first element of a piece of furniture and to a piece of furniture provided with a corresponding device with at least two elements which are height-adjustable in position relative to one another.

In order to arrange a support element at a certain height relative to a base element, various fitting arrangements are known. A first example of a fitting arrangement are toothed strips arranged in the corners of a body of a bookcase forming the base element as receptacles for insert strips that can be inserted in adjustable height levels at grid spacings predetermined by the toothing, on which the shelves in turn are supported as support elements. The fitting arrangement includes the toothed strips and the insert strips. A second example is rows of holes arranged on opposite inner sides in the base element, the holes of which serve as receptacles for pins or dowels that can be inserted at a desired height level specified by the grid spacing, on which the support element is in turn supported. The fitting arrangement includes the holes in which, for example, sleeves can be arranged, and the pins or dowels, which can also be provided with a flattening, for example in order to form a stop against the support element that prevents it from slipping out.

The disadvantage of this is the complex production of a large number of receptacles on the base element, of which only a few are required to support a support element.

In addition, it is known to only provide recordings in certain height ranges in order to reduce the total number of recordings on the base element. Such a fitting arrangement can be found, for example, in bed boxes for the height-adjustable support of slatted frames.

In order to cover a preferred height range, however, it is still necessary to produce a large number of receptacles on the bed box forming the base element, which entails high costs.

1 shows a fitting arrangement 1 made of metal for the height-adjustable arrangement of a support element, for example formed by a central beam 2, on a bed box 3 forming the base element. A stamped base plate 4 of the fitting arrangement 1 is screwed to the bed box 3 with at least four screws. A raised part 5 with T-shaped recesses 6 arranged at grid intervals is provided in the base plate 4. An angle 7 with a horizontal leg 8 serves to support the support element. In a vertical leg 9 of the angle 7, cross-shaped rear grips 10 corresponding to the T-shaped recesses 6 are deep-drawn.

If the height range specified by the length of the base plate 4 is not sufficient, the base plate 4 must be unscrewed from the bed box 3 in a time-consuming manner by loosening at least four screws and screwed back onto the bed box 3 in a new position.

Fitting arrangements made of metal, which are height-adjustable and only require a few receptacles on the base element, are therefore not suitable for solving the problem of manufacturing effort associated with high costs.

One object of the invention is to provide a fitting arrangement that can be produced cost-effectively for the height-adjustable arrangement of a support element relative to a base element, which allows height adjustment at least within a certain height range. Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of providing a piece of furniture comprising the support element, the base element and a corresponding fitting arrangement.

The task is solved by the features of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are shown in the claims, the drawings and in the following description, including those associated with the drawings.

A first subject of the invention therefore relates to a fitting arrangement for a second element, referred to as a support element, which is arranged in a height-adjustable manner relative to a first element, referred to as a base element.

The fitting arrangement comprises a support element and a pin arrangement which detachably connects the support element and the base element. The support element has a contour with a circumferential, outer support surface for supporting the support element. The support element can be arranged in different rotational positions on the base element by means of the pin arrangement.

In each rotary position that can be arranged, an uppermost part of the contour, which points predominantly upwards in the respective rotary position, and thus the top of its outer support surface, has a different distance and thus a different height difference from a reference height on the base element.

The fitting arrangement advantageously comprises a hole arrangement with a plurality of holes corresponding to pins of the pin arrangement in different rotational positions of the support element.

The pin arrangement can be provided on the support element and/or on the base element.

The hole arrangement can be provided on the base element and/or on the support element.

A combination of pin and hole on both the base element and the support element is also conceivable.

The reference height can be given by a pin of the pin arrangement and/or by a hole in the hole arrangement that receives a pin of the pin arrangement.

The pins of the pin arrangement can be an integral part of the support element or the base element.

The pin arrangement can be fixedly arranged on the base element or on the support element. A hole arrangement can be provided on the corresponding element, i.e. on the support element or on the base element, which, in conjunction with the pin arrangement, enables the support element to be arranged in different, at least three, preferably at least four different rotational positions on the base element with a different height difference on the top of the outer support surface Contour of the support element to the reference height allowed.

The support element can have a triangular or polygonal contour. The contour can have the geometry of an eccentric. According to an easy-to-produce, advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support element has a T-shaped contour. The latter support element can be arranged in three rotational positions, each offset by 90°, with three different height differences of the top of the outer support surface of its contour to the reference height on the base element by simply inserting the pin arrangement into the corresponding hole arrangement in the respective rotational position. A fourth arrangement option has the same height difference as one of the other three arrangement options.

One in 2 Fitting arrangement 11 shown entirely or in parts for a support element arranged in a height-adjustable manner relative to a base element 12 comprises:

• - a support element 14, and
• - a pin arrangement 15 which detachably connects the support element 14 and the base element 12 and comprises at least two pins, preferably horizontally aligned with their pin axes 19,

where:

• - the support element 14 in a plan view of a viewing surface lying normal to the pin axes, on which viewing surface the pin axes 19 stand vertically, has an outer contour which is formed by a circumferential support surface 16 running parallel to the pin axes 19 across the thickness of the support element 14 is limited,
• - the support element 14 can be arranged on the base element 12 in advantageously at least three, preferably at least four, different rotational positions by means of the pin arrangement 15,
• - in each arrangable rotational position, an upper side 17 of the outer support surface 16 of the support element 14 is provided for supporting the support element, which is adjacent in the area of an upward-facing, uppermost part of the contour, and
• - In at least half of all the rotary positions that can be arranged, the upper side 17 that predominates in the respective rotary position has a different distance and thus a different height difference from a reference height 18 on the base element 12.

The pin arrangement 15 comprises at least two pins that detachably connect the support element 14 to the base element 12 in different rotational positions.

The upper side 17 of the outer support surface 16 of the support element 14, which is provided in the respective rotational position for supporting the support element, borders on the area of the upward-pointing, uppermost part of the support element 14 in a viewing surface that runs normal to the pin axes 19 and is delimited by the circumferential support surface 16 .

The fitting arrangement 11 advantageously comprises a hole arrangement 20 with several holes corresponding to the pins of the pin arrangement 15 in different rotational positions of the support element 14.

The pin arrangement 15 can be arranged firmly on the base element 12 or on the support element 14. A hole arrangement 20 can be provided on the corresponding element, i.e. on the support element 14 or on the base element 12, which, in conjunction with the pin arrangement 15, enables the support element 14 to be arranged in different, at least three, preferably at least four different rotational positions on the base element 12 with a different height difference the top 17 of the outer support surface 16 of the contour of the support element 14 to the reference height 18 allowed.

It can be seen that the invention can be implemented by a fitting arrangement 11 with a support element 14, which has a plug connection to a base element 12, for example of a piece of furniture. This plug connection comprises at least two pins of a pin arrangement 15 and preferably a hole arrangement.

For example, the pins are arranged on the base element 12. The hole arrangement can be provided on the support element 14 for the sake of ease of manufacture.

The hole arrangement has a plurality of holes corresponding to the pins in terms of pin spacing and different rotational positions of the support element 14 on the base element 12, for example three, four, five or more holes.

The holes can be blind holes. In principle, the pin arrangement 15 can also be provided on the support element 14, the hole arrangement being arranged on the base element 12, preferably in a predetermined height range on the base element 12.

If the support element 14 is arranged in a first rotational position on the base element 12, referred to as the initial rotational position, the top side 17 provided for supporting a support element, for example of a piece of furniture, has its support running parallel to the pin axes 19 surface 16 has an initial height difference to a reference height 18 on the base element 12.

If the support height set in this way does not correspond to the desired height, the support element 14 can be fixed in a second rotational position by changing at least one hole in the hole arrangement 20 on the base element 12, in which rotational position a height difference between the top side 17 and the reference height 18 corresponding to a desired support height prevails.

For example, an embodiment with a central hole and several outer holes arranged around it at the same distance from the central hole as a hole arrangement 20 is conceivable. The support element 14 can have an eccentric contour in relation to a pin of the pin arrangement 15 which engages in the central hole . Also conceivable is a snail-like, continuously decreasing distance from the largest distance of the part of the support surface 16 pointing in this direction to the central hole or to a central pin engaging in the central hole to a smallest distance of the part of the support surface 16 pointing in that direction, whereby a discontinuity-like radial jump between the smallest distance and the largest distance ultimately closes the contour again. In contrast to an eccentric, in which the largest and smallest distances are arranged opposite one another and the distances in between occur in both directions of rotation and therefore twice, the snail-like contour results in a further adjustment range, since the intermediate steps only occur once over a complete revolution of the Support element 14 occurs.

The support element 14 can have a triangular or polygonal contour. The contour can have the geometry of an eccentric.

In addition, n-shaped contours are conceivable.

It is important to emphasize that a hole arrangement corresponding to the pin arrangement is easy to produce, for example in the support element 14, since rows of holes, rows of pins or rows of teeth do not have to be produced over a wide area, as is usual in the prior art, of which only a few are ultimately required.

An advantageous embodiment provides that the support element 14 can be arranged in n different rotational positions on the base element 12 and the top 17 has a different distance and thus a different height difference from the reference height 18 on the base element 12 in n-1 rotational positions.

The pin arrangement 15 can include dowels and/or screws and/or bolts as pins.

As already mentioned, the pin arrangement 15 can be provided on the support element 14 and/or on the base element 12.

Alternatively or additionally, the hole arrangement can be provided on the base element 12 and/or on the support element 14.

A combination of pin and hole is conceivable both on the base element 12 and on the support element 14.

The reference height 18 can be given by a pin of the pin arrangement 15 and/or by a hole in the hole arrangement 20 which receives a pin in the pin arrangement 15.

The pins of the pin arrangement 15 can be an integral part of the support element 14 and/or the base element 12.

At one in 2 In the fitting arrangement 11 shown, the support element 14 has a T-shaped contour. The support element 14 is in at least three rotational positions, each offset by 90 °, with at least three different height differences of the top 17 of the outer support surface 16 of its contour to the reference height 18 on the base element 12 by simply inserting the pin arrangement 15 in the respective rotational position into the corresponding holes of the corresponding hole arrangement 20 can be arranged. A fourth arrangement option can have the same height difference as one of the other three arrangement options.

In 2 Two pins of the pin arrangement 15 are provided on the support element 14 with a T-shaped contour. A first pin is located at the intersection of the T-beam and the T-foot. The second pin is at a distance from the first pin in the T-foot that is predetermined by the pitch of the pin arrangement 15 and the hole arrangement 20.

In the base element 12 - here a bed box - a hole arrangement 20 with four holes is arranged in a height range that corresponds to a comfortable lying height when using a slatted frame in conjunction with a thick mattress.

In this case, the pin arrangement 15 with a standing T-shaped contour of the support element 14 is inserted into the hole arrangement 20 (pos. A in 2 ). The top 17 of the support surface 16 of the support element 14 delimiting the contour has a small height difference from the reference height 18.

If, for example, the height set in this way is too low for a tall person or if, for example, a normal mattress is used, the pin arrangement 15 in conjunction with the hole arrangement 20 allows the support element 14 to be rotated by 90 ° on the base element 12. The T-shaped contour of the support element 14 (Pos B in 2 ). The top side 17 of the support surface 16 of the support element 14 delimiting the contour has an average height difference from the reference height 18.

If, for example, the height set in this way is too low for a very tall person or if, for example, a thin mattress is used, the pin arrangement 15 in conjunction with the hole arrangement 20 allows the support element 14 to be rotated by a further 90 °, ie rotated by 180 ° compared to the first rotational position, to be arranged on the base element 12. The T-shaped contour of the support element 14 is upside down (Pos C in 2 ). The top side 17 of the support surface 16 of the support element 14 delimiting the contour has a maximum height difference from the reference height 18.
