Drawers or extracts of furniture are usually assembled from individual elements, for example, a front part and side walls are connected to each other in the manufacture of the drawer. A connection of a front part can be done for example by screwing. But this is not satisfactory because a screw makes a tool use necessary or the screw is visible on the furniture part.

Purpose and advantages of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a technically intelligent and economically advantageous type of connection for the detachable connection of a front part to a drawer. In particular, the connection should not visually appear on the finished assembled drawer.

This object is solved by the independent claims.

The dependent claims relate to advantageous variants of the invention.

The invention is initially based on a device with an attachment device for releasably connecting a front part of a drawer to a side wall of the drawer, wherein the attachment device allows a connection between an inside of the front part and a region of an end side of the side wall and wherein in the connected state, the front side of the drawer Side wall butt against the inside of the front part abuts. As a rule, two opposite side walls, each with a front end face of the side walls, are present on the drawer. About the device according to the invention with the attachment device, the connection of the front part with the side walls in the region of the two side wall end faces is established.

The attachment device can be attached on the inside, in particular on the front part, so that subsequently the front part provided with the attachment device can be connected in the region of the side wall end faces, wherein sections of the attachment device interact with counterpart sections of the side wall. The device accordingly also includes the mating sections on the respective side wall.

A first essential aspect of the invention is that the attachment device has at least two holding sections with at least one movably mounted holding section, wherein for holding the front part on the side wall in the correct position, the holding sections on the side wall can be attached to opposite opposing sections, wherein the holding sections are formed in this way in that the attachment to the side wall takes place by a movement of the attachment device with a movement component in the direction of a longitudinal extension of the side wall. A component of movement when mounting or connecting is thus aligned in particular perpendicular to the respective end side of the side wall. In this case, the holding sections are brought to the attachment device functionally correct to the matched to the holding sections designed counter sections, wherein the holding portions and the opposite portions can be brought into connection contact. Upon reaching the fully attached or anchored state of the front part of the drawer or the side walls and the exact positioning or alignment of the front part is achieved at the assembled drawer.

The attachment of the holding portions of the opposite sections can be positive, force and / or frictional engagement. In particular, the holding portions may be fixable to the opposite portions, for example, anchored, latched, clamped or verkakbar.

On the side wall, viewed from a built-in state of the drawer in a furniture body, in the vertical direction opposite opposing portions are present, in which the holding portions can engage. By the movement of the attachment device with a movement component in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the side wall, the assembly can be done in a particularly simple and uncomplicated manner. In particular, as based on the furniture, the front part is brought from the front of the side wall end faces, which is advantageous. Because even with already installed in a furniture body existing drawer, but still without the front part, the drawer can be readily provided with the front part. This is also advantageous because the visually particularly relevant front part can be omitted until the end, so that this part is not z. B. is scratched. When mounting the front part in a final assembly step, it is advantageous that the leading of the front part can be done from the front, the drawer must not be pulled out of the furniture body. In a fully retracted in the furniture body state of the drawer, where the drawer is in the direction of insertion, according to the invention, the drawer can be particularly easily provided by a person from the front with the front part.

Preferably, the holding portions are configured such that the holding portions with matching existing at the opposite portions Eingreifkonturen be anchored by engaging behind. This way anchoring can be set up particularly easily and securely. The engagement contour is formed or cooperates with the holding portion such that, in particular, in an action of a user on the front part, to order z. As the loaded drawer move out of a carcass, which can be taken on the front part acting in particular tensile forces safely from the holding and counter sections.
