Drawer is-it On

\.) The invention relates to a drawer with a frame which, as a U-shaped frame, surrounds the drawer box upwards ^{and on} three sides and is attached to the rear wall of the drawer box and to the front panel of the drawer.

Such drawers are available in different designs

«designed attachment frames, the wire ends of the attachment frame are attached to the front panel by flange-like connectors and an adjustment of the front panel is not possible, so that the front panel often deviates in its position compared to the adjacent furniture walls and results in a disturbed and unsightly front image.

The object of the invention is to create a connection between the front panel and the attachment frame which enables the front panel to be adjusted in a simple and precise manner relative to the adjacent furniture walls so that the front panel of the drawer is flush with the front _- this connection being simple and cost-effective to set up and easy to carry out and ensuring a permanent adjustment position.

g| This task is solved according to the invention by the characteristic

S characteristics of the protective shield " solved and which are based on

M subsequent subclaims contain design features

which represent advantageous and beneficial further training in the task solution.

if The invention provides an adjustable connection

between the front panel and the top frame of a drawer O, through which the front panel of the drawer can be set flush with the adjacent furniture walls and thus a uniform front panel is achieved.

The two-part connector according to the invention is screwed onto each wire end of the attachment frame with its adjusting sleeve and then the fastening plate is fixed to the front panel by screws, but not yet tightened.

Vv The adjusting sleeve can then be manually adjusted relative to the

Screw the wire end, which allows the front panel to be adjusted relative to the attachment frame and thus the

drawer and this adjustment is carried out flush with the front of the adjacent furniture walls.

Once the correct position of the front panel has been achieved, the screws of the mounting plate are tightened and the anti-twisting devices of the adjustment sleeve and mounting plate engage with each other and the adjustment sleeve is secured against automatic or unintentional twisting &igr; so that the front-flush adjustment of the

l'rontbleri'le is secured permanently.

The two individual parts of the connector are each made of plastic parts that are easy and inexpensive to manufacture and enable simple assembly and stepless, precise front panel adjustment with convenient handling and safe operation.

The drawings show an embodiment of the invention, which is explained in more detail below. It shows:

Fig. 5 a longitudinal section and a front view of the and 6 adjusting sleeve of the connector.

The drawer consists of a drawer (1) forming a receiving space (2) and a front panel (3) and is equipped with an attachment frame (4).

This attachment frame (4) is designed as a U-shaped wire frame

which enlarges the drawer box (1) and thus its receiving space (2) upwards and surrounds the drawer box (1) on three sides.

The top frame (4) is attached on the one hand to the rear wall (1a) of the drawer box (1) and on the other hand to the front panel (3).

The attachment frame (4) has one or two or more U-shaped wire brackets (5) held one above the other at a distance, and a screw-on connector (8) is screwed onto each free wire end (6) of the wire frame U-legs (5a), which is held to the front panel (3) by fastening screws (7), which can be screwed to the wire end (6) for a continuous adjustment of the front panel (3) at least in the depth direction of the drawer and can be fixed in the set front panel position by tightening the fastening screws (7).

In addition to the adjustment in depth, which can be carried out continuously, the connector (8) also enables a side and height adjustment of the front panel (3) in relation to the drawer box (1), which can also be carried out continuously and can be fixed.

The connector (8) is designed in two parts and has an adjustment sleeve (9) that can be screwed onto the thread (6a) of the wire end (6) and a fastening plate (10) that surrounds this adjustment sleeve (9) and can be fixed to the front panel (3), the fastening plate (10) and the adjustment sleeve (9) having interacting anti-twist devices (11, 12).

The adjusting sleeve (9) is designed as a conical part and is provided with a threaded bore (13) axially introduced from one end face and a circumferential contact collar (14) directed outwards at the other end face.

The threaded hole (13) in the adjusting sleeve (9) is designed as a blind hole and this threaded hole (13) is connected to an axial tool holder (15), with a hexagon socket, in the area of the contact collar (14).

Between the threaded hole base and the tool holder (15) a hole (16) with a reduced diameter is provided, whereby a step is provided between the threaded hole (13) and the tool holder (15) and at the same time this step provides a screw-in limit stop (17) for the wire (6).

The threaded bore (13) is further extended towards the free end over a certain length by a bore (18), so that it extends within the adjusting sleeve (9) over a length between bore (18) and bore (16).

The fastening plate (10) has a stepped fixing hole (19) which spans the support collar (14) of the adjusting sleeve (9) on the peripheral side (14b) and the collar surface (14a) running perpendicular to the sleeve's longitudinal direction.

To prevent rotation (11), teeth are formed on the collar surface (14a) of the adjusting sleeve (9) and to prevent rotation (12) on the fastening plate (10) on the bore step (19a) running parallel to the plate plane.

which run around the entire collar (14) and the bore step | (19a). 1

The mounting plate (10) has a slotted hole.;

&Aacgr; Basic form with one on each side of the central *>

Countersunk hole (20) located in the Pixierbohrung (19) for the -\ Fixing screws (7). The adjusting sleeve (9) and the mounting plate (10) %

are each molded from one piece of plastic.

The attachment frame (4) having one or more wire brackets (5) is fixed to the rear wall (1a) of the drawer box (1) via fastening webs (21) and can have transverse dividing webs (22) which engage in the receiving space (2) and divide the receiving space (2).

The fastening plate (10) is loosely attached to the adjusting sleeve (9) from the free front end and, with its stepped bore (19), freely movably surrounds the contact collar (14).

In this state, the two-part connector (8) is screwed with its adjusting sleeve (9) onto the external thread (6a) of each wire end (6). For this purpose, an Allen key can be inserted into the tool holder (15) which reaches through the hole (19) of the fastening plate (H). The clip adjusting sleeve (9) is then screwed loosely over the fastening plate (10) using the screws (7) on the inside of the front panel (J), but is not yet screwed tightly.

jurcn the adjusting sleeve (9) and its thread '12; these are now screwed steplessly from above onto the wire guide (6), whereby the front panel (3) is steplessly adjusted in distance from the drawer box (1) in the depth direction, i.e. towards or away from the drawer box (1) within a certain range.

C Once this setting is made, the

Screws (7) are tightened firmly, whereby the fastening plate (10) with its anti-twist device (12) engages in the anti-twist device (11) of the adjusting sleeve (9) and thereby the adjusting sleeve (9) is secured against twisting, so that the set position is permanently fixed.

The connectors (8) allow the front panel (3) to be aligned flush with the adjoining furniture walls in a simple and precise manner.

.- When forming the set frame (4) with several The vertical and lateral inclination of the front panel (3) can be easily achieved by using the wire brackets (5) arranged one above the other, by screwing one connector (β) further and the other connector (Θ) less far with its adjustment sleeve (9) onto the respective wire end (6).

The front panel (3) can of course also be additionally connected to the drawer box (I) by suitable connecting means which allow the front panel (3) to be adjusted.

It is preferable to make the drawer out of plastic.

This drawer with raised and adjustable front panel is suitable for both kitchen and office furniture and can be installed horizontally .
