Description

Connection system

The invention relates to a connection system for constructing surfaces and bodies from essentially plate-shaped elements, in particular for furniture or interior construction.

Various connection systems are known from furniture and interior design, where mainly plate-shaped elements have to be connected to one another. A large number of different connection systems are used to construct partition walls, exhibition stands and shelving or cabinet systems, for example. Depending on the application and the specific function of the connection systems, the plate-shaped elements require correspondingly extensive and different processing.

For example, when manufacturing a shelving or cabinet system for basic parts, add-on parts, shelves, back panels, doors and drawers, various plate-shaped elements must be manufactured and, in addition, subjected to further, correspondingly different processing to accommodate connecting elements, for example, special holes for screw or plug connections.

The surfaces and bodies made of essentially plate-shaped elements constructed using the previously known connection systems only allow for a specific, fixed use. For example, shelves cannot be used as side parts in a shelving system, as these are

generally do not have the holes required for a corresponding connecting element. Thus, a plate-shaped element has always only had a specific function, which is predetermined, among other things, by the connecting element used.

In the furniture industry in particular, there is a demand today to provide as many different types of furnishings as possible for homes and business premises. Consumers expect the furnishings to be easy and problem-free to change, expand, be extremely variable in terms of functionality and, what's more, be able to be supplemented without the need for major additional parts.

In addition, it is desirable that furnishings are manufactured with ecological aspects in mind. This includes, among other things, the conservation of resources in terms of materials, production time, processing processes and thus energy.

The invention is based on the object of providing a connection system for constructing surfaces and bodies from essentially plate-shaped elements, which requires only minimal processing of the plate-shaped elements, with regard to its

It is very versatile in terms of possible uses and at the same time variable in shape and function thanks to special features.

To technically solve this problem, a connection system is proposed for constructing surfaces and bodies from essentially plate-shaped elements, which consists of at least one groove profile that can be fixed to the plate-shaped element with at least one fastening means and an anchor body that can be provided with construction parts.

Plate-shaped elements provided with such a connection system can be combined as desired without further processing. For example, it is possible to use the connection system to use furniture panels as a back wall, as a door, as a frame part or as a shelf. The versatile uses of a plate-shaped element, each provided with a groove profile, result from the anchor body of the

Connection system for attaching structural components that offer a variety of special functions.

By using the connection system, the production of furniture, for example, is extremely cost-effective and environmentally friendly, since only one plate-shaped element, for example a blockboard, is used, possibly in different dimensions or depths, which, after it has been provided with the groove profile, does not require any further processing with regard to its intended use. The plate-shaped elements produced in this way can, for example, be used to easily build a shelving wall, a cupboard, a room divider or an exhibition stand. The different functions of the connection element according to the invention are made possible by the use of different construction parts, whereby all construction parts can be attached in the area of the anchor body.

Advantageously, the groove profile of a connection system according to the invention is essentially a hollow profile which has a slot in the longitudinal direction, which is optionally continuous. Ideally, the groove profile of a connection system according to the invention has the same length in the longitudinal direction as an edge of a plate-shaped element. The groove profile is advantageously attached to an end edge of a plate-shaped element.

Advantageously, the fastening means for fixing the groove profile to a plate-shaped element, preferably a carpenter's or furniture board, is a tongue that corresponds to a groove in the plate-shaped element. It is particularly advantageous if the tongue has a slightly corrugated profile or is provided with profiled notches. Ideally, the tongue is arranged on the groove profile. According to a further proposal of the invention, the groove profile and the tongue are formed as one piece. The use of a tongue to fix the groove profile to the plate-shaped element ensures simple assembly.

In addition, the connection is extremely stable and precise. Advantageously, the spring is continuous in the longitudinal direction, so that it, like the groove profile, can be manufactured in the form of an endless strand.

It is also possible to attach the groove profile to the plate-shaped element using material, force and/or form-fitting connections, for example adhesive, screw, rivet, bolt or pin connections. This shows that adhesive connections are extremely simple and quick to produce and no further processing of the plate-shaped element is necessary. Compared to other connections, adhesive connections are characterized by high fatigue strength. Screw connections are the most commonly used and most versatile connections. When connecting with screws, holes can be provided in the plate-shaped element. This means that there is less flexibility in terms of attaching the groove profile to the plate-shaped element, since the groove profile in particular must have corresponding holes. Rivet connections are easy and inexpensive to produce. In addition, rivet connections do not fail suddenly, for example when overloaded, since they can absorb very high deformation work. Connecting components with bolts, pins or similar molded parts is one of the simplest and cheapest methods used for loose and fixed connections.

In order to secure its position, the anchor body can be detachably connected to the groove profile by means of a pre-stressed positive connection. Such a connection represents a combination of friction and positive connections. Two bodies, an outer and an inner part, are pushed into one another and at least one is elastically deformed by external forces. This creates high contact pressure and thus friction forces between the bodies at the contact surfaces, which, for example, fix the inner part in the outer part. The inner part is not self-locking, i.e. it releases when the forces acting on it are removed. The anchor body can thus be detachably fixed in the groove profile.

According to a further proposal of the invention, the anchor body has a cross-section that corresponds to the cross-section of the groove profile. As a result

&igr;- ■···*■'

It is guaranteed that the anchor body can be inserted into the groove profile from the head sides with a precise fit. The cross-section of the anchor body can also be selected so that it can be inserted at any point through the slot in the groove profile. The anchor body can advantageously be moved in the longitudinal direction of the groove profile, so that it is possible to position the anchor body in the groove profile as desired, which makes things much easier, especially when building a shelving unit.

It is advantageously proposed that the anchor body be expandable. This ensures that the groove profile attached to a plate-shaped element does not require any further processing in order to be connected to the anchor body. An expandable anchor body is, for example, pushed into the groove profile and held securely in the groove profile by spreading the anchor body. According to a preferred development of the invention, the anchor body is designed in several parts, with the individual parts of an anchor body formed in this way advantageously being held together by an elastic connecting means, for example a rubber band. This ensures that the anchor body is expandable and yet extremely easy to position in the groove profile. The elastic connecting means hold the individual parts of the anchor body together so that it can be pushed into the groove profile and does not fall apart into its individual parts. In terms of production, an anchor body made of multiple parts has the advantage over a one-piece anchor body that the individual parts can be spread apart relatively easily, whereas with a one-piece anchor body the ability to spread depends on the material or is linked to further production steps. For example, with a one-piece anchor body, a groove or recess must be made and/or the anchor body itself must be made of a resilient material. When using hollow anchor bodies or anchor bodies with recesses, according to a further proposal of the invention, supply lines, for example for cabinet lighting, can be routed in the anchor body or in the groove profile.

It is advantageously proposed that at least one structural part can be attached to the anchor body. By using various,

With structural parts that can be attached to anchor bodies, it is possible to provide the plate-shaped element with a groove profile and anchor bodies with a variety of special functions without further processing. For example, the depth of an existing shelving system can be subsequently increased without any problems using a suitably designed structural part and corresponding elements by attaching it to an anchor body located in a groove profile. Ideally, the anchor body is spread when a structural part is attached. For this purpose, a structural part can, for example, have pin-like plugs that correspond to holes provided in the anchor body and spread it when inserted into the anchor body. In addition, these pins can also be designed individually and attach the structural part to the anchor body and spread it in the process. It is also possible for the anchor body and structural part to be formed as one piece or to be connected using conventional material, form and/or force-fitting connections, for example with adhesive, solder, screw, weld, rivet, bolt or pin connections.

According to a proposal of the invention, at least one plate-shaped element, e.g. a rear or partition wall, can be connected to at least one plate-shaped element provided with a groove profile, e.g. a blockboard as a side part, with an anchor body fastened in the groove profile and a structural part fastened to the anchor body.

Advantageously, at least two plate-shaped elements, each equipped with a groove profile and an anchor body fastened in the groove profile, can be connected to one another with a structural part. A further embodiment provides that at least two plate-shaped elements provided with a groove profile can be connected to one another with an anchor body fastened in the respective groove profile and a structural part fastened to the anchor body in such a way that the plate-shaped elements are at any angle to one another. This ensures that cabinet systems or room dividers can be constructed according to individual needs. In addition, a cabinet system, for example, can be very easily adapted to spatial conditions. In particular for the construction of regular shelving and/or cabinet systems

Structural parts are provided that create connections at an angle of 45°, 90° or 180° between the plate-shaped elements.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that a structural part attached to the anchor body has at least one hole that can accommodate a substantially cylindrical body. This makes it possible, for example, to subsequently equip an existing closet system with a clothes rail, a magnetic catch or the like, for example, without the need for further processing of the plate-shaped elements.

According to a further proposal of the invention, the front edge of a plate-shaped element provided with a groove profile can be designed with a decorative strip. This means that the connecting element according to the invention achieves an optical enhancement or adaptation and at the same time a design can be made according to individual needs. The decorative strip can advantageously be attached to a groove profile, for example by means of pin or adhesive connections, whereby the groove profile ideally has a groove for receiving the decorative strip.

According to a proposal of the invention, the groove profile, the anchor body and construction parts are made of metallic material, for example aluminum. An alternative is plastic. The elements made of metallic material are ideally used for room dividers, partition walls or, more generally, for cabinet systems, while the elements made of plastic are suitable for simpler, less heavily used constructions, for example simple magazine or presentation holders at exhibition stands. In addition, by combining different materials, for example groove profiles made of aluminum and anchor bodies or construction parts made of plastic, it is possible to pursue further optical design aspects that result from the combination of the different materials.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a plate-shaped element 1 provided with groove profiles 3, flat profiles 5 and header bores 2. The groove profiles 3 shown in Fig. 1 are additionally provided with decorative strips 4, which are held in a U-shaped groove attached to the front of the groove profile 3.

Fig. 2 shows various views of the embodiment according to Fig. 1. It can be seen that the groove profile 3 provided with a decorative strip 4 has a tongue 6 which corresponds to a groove 7 let into the plate-shaped element 1. The embodiment of a groove profile 3 for a connection system shown here has two opposing grooves or openings 30. These openings 30 have a substantially dovetail-shaped cross-section in the longitudinal direction for receiving an anchor body 8 (not shown here). A tube is advantageously inserted into the head hole 2, which is clamped, for example, in the plate-shaped element 1 and serves to guide and stabilize a head-side connection of two plate-shaped elements 1 with a structural part 11 (see also Fig. 16 and 17). Fig. 2c shows that the tongue 6 corresponding to the groove 7 has a slightly corrugated profile 31 provided with barbs in cross section.

Fig. 3a shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of an anchor body 8. The anchor body 8 shown here has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The anchor body 8 is provided with a circumferential groove 9 directed substantially in the longitudinal direction of the anchor body 8. This groove 9 is for

Suitable for receiving an elastic connecting means, for example a rubber band, and holds the anchor body 8 together if it is made up of several parts. Perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the anchor body 8, holes are provided which taper conically as can be clearly seen in Fig. 4a. The smaller diameter of the conical hole 10 is on the side of the anchor body 8 which is closer to the groove 9. Fig. 3b and Fig. 4b show that the anchor body 8 can be spread perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the anchor body 8 and the conically widening hole 10 in the direction of the arrows shown. For this purpose, screws or pins (not shown here) with an essentially constant diameter are inserted into the conical holes.

Fig. 5 shows a schematic sectional view of an application example for a connection system according to the invention with a further embodiment of a construction part 11. The already known groove profile 3 with the decorative strip 4 is inserted into a corresponding groove 7 in a plate-shaped element 1 by means of a spring 6 with a profile 31 and is fastened there. An anchor body 8 is inserted into an opening 30 of the groove profile 3 and spread out with a fastening means 32 in the opening 30 of the groove profile 3 and clamped to it. In Fig. 5, the anchor body 8 is provided with a construction part 11. The construction part 11 is fastened to the anchor body 8. The construction part is, for example, an angle as shown in Fig. 6. The construction part 11 has a right angle and thus allows the connection of plate-shaped elements to form bodies, which are connected to a groove profile according to the invention! 3 and an anchor body 3. The angle strip preferably has a trapezoidal cross-section and thus fits essentially flush with the surface in the outer part of the groove profile.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic sectional view of two plate-shaped elements 1, which are provided with the already known groove profiles 3. In the openings 30 of the groove profiles 3, in the area of opposite head strips on anchor bodies 8, further embodiments for structural parts 11 are attached. These are each connected to one another with a counterpart 13 and a lock screw 14. On the opposite side of the connection of the two plate-shaped elements

1, further embodiments of structural parts 11 are attached to an anchor body 8. These structural parts 11 have an L-shaped cross section and are attached in the longitudinal direction of the groove profile 3. A further plate-shaped element 28 provided with magnets 12, for example a covering, is magnetically attached to the structural parts 11 with an L-shaped cross section, which advantageously consist of magnetizable material, for example iron, by being plugged on. It is also possible for the structural parts 11 with an L-shaped cross section to be made of magnetic material and for the elements attached to a plate-shaped element 28, marked 12 in Fig. 7, to be made of iron.

Fig. 8 shows a schematic sectional view of another embodiment of a connection system. Two anchor bodies 8 are fastened opposite one another in a groove profile 3. These anchor bodies 8 are each provided with a further embodiment for a structural part 11, for example a combination support. The structural part 11 has a device that can be provided with a counterpart 13 and a corresponding counter screw 14. A plate-shaped element 28 is fastened between the counter screw 14 and the counter bearing piece 13 in such a way that it is at a right angle to the plate-shaped element 1 provided with a groove profile 3. This connection is suitable, for example, for fastening rear walls 28 to side parts, in Fig. 8 the plate-shaped element 1 provided with the groove profile 3.

Fig. 9 shows a schematic sectional view of another application example for a connection system. Here, as in Fig. 8, a plate-shaped element 1, which is provided with a groove profile 3, is connected to two plate-shaped elements 28 serving as rear walls, as shown in Fig. 8. Here, a further embodiment of a counterpart 13 with a lock screw 14 is used. With these, it is possible to fasten another plate-shaped element 1 provided with a groove profile 3 according to Fig. 8 overhead to the plate-shaped element 1 already described provided with a groove profile 3. With

In this application example of a connection system it is possible, for example, to construct a room divider with an internal rear wall 28.

In Fig. 10a, an embodiment of a structural part 11 is shown in a schematic view. This is a so-called combination support 15. This combination support 15 consists of a rectangular plate to which two fork-shaped plates with an opening are attached vertically. These have an opening in their front end. For example, a counter screw 14 with a protruding pipe piece is attached to the combination support 15 through this opening. The protruding pipe piece can be used to attach a clothes rail 16. It is therefore possible to equip a furniture element with special functions extremely easily without further processing of the plate-shaped element by using another structural part 11, here provided with a combination support 15. Fig. 10b shows the arrangement shown in Fig. 10a in a side view.

Fig. 11 shows a schematic sectional view of another application example for a connection system. Here, the anchor body 8 is connected to a structural part 11, which is provided with guide rails 17 and corresponding guide pins 18. The guide pins 18 are connected to plate-shaped elements 1 and can slide in the guide rail 17. This means that another special function for a cabinet system, here for example sliding doors, is created extremely quickly and easily by another structural part 11 consisting of a guide rail 17 and a guide pin 18, without further processing of a plate-shaped element 1.

Fig. 12a shows a schematic sectional view of a top view of another application example of a connection system. Here, a structural part 11 is shown, which is provided with a guide rail 19 and a corresponding running rail 20. The guide rail 19 is firmly connected to a structural part and an anchor body 8 with the groove profile 3 of a plate-shaped element 1. The running rail 20 is located on a structure that forms, for example, a drawer 33. Fig. 12b shows a schematic sectional view

according to Fig. 12a. The designs of the guide rail 19 and the running rail 20 can be seen particularly well.

Fig. 13a shows a schematic view of another application example for a connection system. A plate-shaped element 1 provided with a groove profile 3 is here, as already explained, connected to a structural part 11 fastened to the anchor body 8. This is provided with a hinge 21. Thus, when using this structural part 11 with hinge 21, for example, a door 34 can be fastened to a plate-shaped element 1. Fig. 13b shows a schematic view of a structural part 11 which is provided with a combination carrier 15. The combination carrier 15 is formed by two plates attached vertically to a plate. These plates each have a hole in their front end in which, for example, a pipe can be stored. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 13b, a counterpart 13 and a counter screw 14 are guided through these holes in the combination carrier 15 and are connected to one another. Fig. 13c shows a schematic side view of the combination carrier 15 according to Fig. 13b. In Fig. 13d, the combination carrier 15 according to Figs. 13b and 13c is shown in a further schematic view. Fig. 13d also shows the other end of the door 34 indicated in Fig. 13a. The counterpart 13 or the counter screw 14 attached to the combination carrier 15 is used as a so-called magnetic catch for the open door 34. For this purpose, the door 34 is provided with a magnet 12 in an area opposite the combination carrier 15 or the counterpart 13. It is also possible for the counterpart 13 or the counter screw 14 to be magnetic and for the magnet 12 attached to the door 34 to be replaced by a metal plate. Fig. 13e shows a schematic sectional view of another application example for a connection system. Here, a structural part 11 is provided with a furniture hinge 22. This furniture hinge 22 is provided with a plate-shaped element, which also forms a door 34. The structural part 11 is also attached to an anchor body 8, which is spread by a fastening means 32 in the opening 30 of the groove profile 3 and is thus firmly clamped in the groove profile 3.

Fig. 14a shows a further embodiment of the already known combination support 15, which is provided with a lock screw 14 and a counterpart 24 with a circumferential groove 29. For example, a tension wire 23 with a loop at the end is hooked into this circumferential groove 29, as can be seen in Fig. 14b in a side view according to Fig. 14a. With this application example, for example, a support cross can be attached relatively easily to the back of a shelf to stabilize the shelf.

Fig. 15 and 16 show feet 25 inserted into headboard holes 2, which are provided with a further embodiment of a counterpart 13. The feet 25 have a thread 27 so that they can be adjusted in height simply by turning them relative to the counterpart 13, which has a corresponding thread.

Fig. 16 also shows a schematic sectional view of a center connector 26 which is inserted into the header holes 2 of two plate-shaped elements 1, connecting them. In addition, the two plate-shaped elements 1 are provided with a structural part 11 which connects the two plate-shaped elements 1 to one another through the respective anchor bodies 8.

Fig. 17 shows a schematic perspective view of the application example of a connection system shown in Fig. 16 in a sectional view. The decorative strip 4 attached to the groove profile 3 and the anchor body 8 can also be seen.

In Fig. 18, a cabinet system is shown in a schematic perspective view. This consists of several plate-shaped elements 1 provided with groove profiles 3 according to Fig. 1. These plate-shaped elements 1 are each provided with an anchor body 8, which is provided with or attached to different construction parts 11 and the associated special functions. As Fig. 18 shows, it is relatively easy to change the depth of an existing cabinet system by using the connection system according to the invention. The cabinet system in Fig. 18 shows the use of the

Fig. 15 shows the height-adjustable feet 25, the hinges 21 for a door 34 shown in Fig. 13a. In addition, Fig. 18 shows the use of a magnetic lock 12 or a combination support 15. Inside the cabinet system, Fig. 18 shows a combination support 15 with a counterpart 24 as a connecting element, because plate-shaped elements of different depths are connected to one another.

The overall system comprises only a very small number of elements, e.g. plate-shaped element with groove profile, anchor body, connecting strand or angle, combination support, counter screw, counterpart, pipe section, and yet allows for a wide range of options.
