thrust

The invention relates to a drawer in the form of a plastic drawer or drawer insert, also for sliding in the upper part of a drawer, with compartment divisions for cutlery or utensils in the form of molded-in longitudinal and/or transverse walls, whereby these dividing walls are wedge-shaped in cross-section, and their edges are rounded and connected to the base and to one another.

Drawers of the type mentioned are generally made in one piece with regard to the main part of their body; additional parts for the guides in the furniture can be inserted on both sides, and the front panel is also usually attached as a separate part to adapt to the front of the furniture.

The invention has set itself the task of designing the shape in such a way that the rigidity and strength - also of the inserts - are improved.

To solve this problem, according to the invention, the uppermost areas of the walls are beveled with a bent edge towards the outside of the compartment, with the dividing walls ending in a blunt ridge and the outer walls ending in a horizontal bend. This horizontal bend can continue in an apron or the like running approximately vertically downwards if it is a drawer with guides.

The design described above means that the strength and rigidity of this structure, which extends over a wide area between two horizontal planes, is significantly improved due to the arrangement of folding edges and inclined surfaces in between, without thereby compromising the required aesthetics of the shape, which must not be neglected in such objects. Preferably, a drawer according to the invention is further characterized in that the upper end edges of the walls of the dividing walls are lower than the surrounding walls of the drawer.

This design essentially introduces a third horizontal plane into the object that extends far between two horizontal planes, which contributes significantly to increasing the overall strength and rigidity. Even if the upper edges of the walls of the partition walls are at the same height as the surrounding walls of the thrust, this creates a kind of latticework that contributes significantly to improving the rigidity in the upper plane.

In an advantageous design of the drawer, the floors of the individual compartments are curved downwards in the narrow transverse direction.

This design also improves the stability of the shape in the lower horizontal boundary plane. In addition, the downward curvature in the transverse direction of the base means that the objects placed in the individual compartments, such as cutlery or similar, have a tendency to slide into the longitudinal center of the compartments, which inevitably leads to a certain order in the storage of the objects placed in them as the compartments are filled.

In a particularly advantageous development of the drawer according to the invention, vertical bulges are formed on the longitudinal dividing walls of the compartments for the positive insertion of separating pieces.

Due to their shape without sharp edges, these bulges improve the rigidity and dimensional stability of the longitudinal dividing walls. Essentially, however, the positive insertion of separating pieces due to the bilateral contact not only ensures a secure and firm holding of the separating pieces, but the overall dimensional stability is improved by the mutual contact of the walls with the inserted parts.

This interaction between the walls and the separators is further improved if the latter are designed as blocks. The separators then have a larger contact surface on the curved supports.

The wooden dividers are advantageous. Particularly with block-like designs, this has the advantage that the dividers can be manufactured easily and economically, particularly with different thicknesses, adapted to the respective intended use.

In an advantageous further development, the separators are provided with vertical cuts for inserting knife blades, cutlery handles

fen &ogr;. etc. This design can be implemented particularly well if the separating pieces are designed in a block-like manner.

At least one of the compartments is designed in the form of a circular segment, to accommodate smaller and shorter parts, which can then be stored neatly and clearly. The overall shape of the drawer is particularly advantageous when its transverse outer walls are curved in their longitudinal extension or form a flat arch. This also significantly improves the overall strength and rigidity, especially in the transverse direction.

The invention is explained in more detail below using an embodiment with reference to the drawings. The drawings show

The drawer 1 is made of plastic in one piece and is injection-molded in a closed mold or deep-drawn in a mold using a different process using negative pressure and after heating. The drawer has a lower level, the level of the bases 14, and an upper end level, the level of the outwardly angled, circumferential edge 2. The edge 2 can, in particular on its two long sides 3, be provided with a

have a downward bend and other shapes to accommodate and hold a shoe guide. The front can also be designed to accommodate and attach a drawer front. Here a drawer is shown which, in its simplest edge design, is suitable for use in a drawer or in a drawer frame. The drawer has a number of partition walls, namely longitudinal partition walls 4 and transverse partition walls 5 which form a number of longitudinal and transverse compartments for the orderly storage of cutlery and other utensils.

A partition wall 6 is designed in the shape of a quarter circle, it forms a circular segment-shaped compartment 7 for accommodating small or specially shaped objects. The walls 4, 5 and 6, which divide the individual compartments, are wedge-shaped in cross-section with two wall areas 8 and 9 that converge at an upward angle. They have a bent edge 10 in their very upper area and are provided above this bent edge 10 with a bevel 11 directed towards the outside of the compartment and end in a blunt ridge 12. The ridges 12, and thus the upper edges of the partition walls, lie significantly below the level of the surrounding edge 2 of the drawer 1, accordingly the bevel 11 on the surrounding edge is higher and more clearly pronounced. At their lower edges, the walls 4, 5, 6 and also the surrounding walls of the shoe merge into the floors 14 with a curve 13.

The floors of the individual compartments are provided with a downward bulge 15 in the short transverse direction. The transverse outer walls 2 of the drawer 1 are curved in their longitudinal extension or they form a flat arch. In the embodiment shown here, the front wall 15 forms an inwardly curved arch and the rear wall 16 forms an outwardly curved arch.

In the longitudinal walls 4 of some compartments, preferably in the longitudinal walls of the longitudinal compartments, vertical bulges 17 are incorporated.

molded onto one another opposite one another. These serve for the positive insertion of separators 18, which divide the compartments lengthwise. According to the example, these separators 18 are made of wood, so they are designed like blocks, which increases the positive contact surface on the bulges 17, so that the separators 18 have a particularly firm bearing. Some of the separators 18 can also be provided with vertical incisions 19, for inserting knife blades, knife handles or the like.
