Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befestigen eines in eine Einbauöffnung hineingesetzten, mit einer in die Einbauöffnung eintauchenden, Einrastlöcher aufweisenden Randleiste versehenen Teiles, insbesondere eines Spültischbleches einer Küchen-Arbeitsplatte, mit einer eine Einrastnase aufweisenden Klammer und einem mit der Klammer durch eine Spannschraube verbundenen, an der Einbauöffnung festkrallbaren und an der Klammer seitlich gleitend abstützbaren Spannteil aus Stahlblech, wobei die Klammer ein vom Klammerrücken ausgehendes Schraubenloch aufweist, und die Aussenfläche des dem Rand der Einbauöffnung abgewandten Klammerschenkels die Gleitfläche des abstützenden Spannteilschenkels ist.The invention relates to a device for fastening a part inserted into an installation opening, provided with an edge strip which dips into the installation opening and has snap-in holes, in particular a sink plate of a kitchen worktop, with a clip having a snap-in lug and a clip connected to the clip by a tensioning screw. Clamping part made of sheet steel that can be clawed firmly at the installation opening and laterally supported on the clamp, the clamp having a screw hole extending from the back of the clamp, and the outer surface of the clamp leg facing away from the edge of the installation opening is the sliding surface of the supporting clamping part leg.

Eine derartige bekannte Befestigungsvorrichtung (DE-B-25 45 039) besitzt eine Stahlblechklammer, die wegen ihrer Formgebung umständlich herstellbar ist und in besonderen Arbeitsgängen ein Muttergewinde und einen Nietkopf erhält.Such a known fastening device (DE-B-25 45 039) has a steel sheet clamp, which is difficult to manufacture because of its shape and is given a nut thread and a rivet head in special operations.

Eine ähnlich aufwendige kombinierte Befestigungsvorrichtung geht aus der DE-U-73 29 894 hervor.A similarly complex combined fastening device can be found in DE-U-73 29 894.

Aus der DE-A-22 39 974 ist es bekannt, Teile einer Befestigungsvorrichtung aus spritzbarem Kunststoff herzustellen.From DE-A-22 39 974 it is known to produce parts of a fastening device from sprayable plastic.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Befestigungsvorrichtung der gattungsmässigen Art so auszubilden, dass die billig hergestellt werden kann und eine einfache Montage ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a fastening device of the generic type so that it can be manufactured cheaply and allows easy assembly.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Die weitere Ausbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes geht aus den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche hervor.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The further development of the subject matter of the invention is evident from the features of the subclaims.

Neben einem geringen fertigungstechnischen Aufwand weist die Befestigungsvorrichtung den Vorteil einer sehr schmalen Bauform auf, wegen der der Abstand zwischen der Randleiste und einer Vertiefung des zu befestigenden Teiles für die Anbringung der Befestigungsvorrichtung nur klein zu sein braucht.In addition to a low manufacturing outlay, the fastening device has the advantage of a very narrow design, because of which the distance between the edge strip and a recess in the part to be fastened need only be small for the attachment of the fastening device.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachstehend erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained below.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 die Befestigung eines Spültischbleches in der Einbauöffnung einer Küchen-Arbeitsplatte, mit einem am Innenrand der Öffnung angreifenden Spannteil.
  • Fig. 2 die Befestigung nach Fig. 1 im Zustand des Einsetzens des Spültischbleches vor Durchführung der Verspannung.
  • Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt der Fig. 2 entsprechend Linie V-V.
Show it:
  • Fig. 1 shows the attachment of a sink plate in the installation opening of a kitchen worktop, with a clamping part acting on the inner edge of the opening.
  • Fig. 2 shows the attachment of FIG. 1 in the state of inserting the sink plate before carrying out the bracing.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross section of FIG. 2 along line VV.

In einer Küchen-Arbeitsplatte 1 ist eine Einbauöffnung 2 ausgeschnitten. Darin sitzt ein Spültischlech 3. Die in einem Abstand vom Rand 4 der Einbauöffnung 2 senkrecht eintauchende Randleiste 5 nimmt über den Umfang eine Anzahl Befestigungsvorrichtungen auf. Diese bestehen aus einer Klammer 21 und einem Spannteil 35, die durch eine Schraube 36 miteinander verbunden sind. Die aus den Einzelteilen 21, 35 und 36 bestehende Vorrichtung ist als schon im Lieferzustand zusammengesetzter Gebrauchsgegenstand auf die Randleiste 5 aufgeclipst worden, bevor das Spültischblech in die Einbauöffnung hineingesetzt wurde.An installation opening 2 is cut out in a kitchen worktop 1. A sink plate 3 is seated therein. The edge strip 5, which dips vertically at a distance from the edge 4 of the installation opening 2, accommodates a number of fastening devices over the circumference. These consist of a bracket 21 and a clamping part 35, which are connected to one another by a screw 36. The device consisting of the individual parts 21, 35 and 36 has been clipped onto the edge strip 5 as a commodity already assembled in the delivery state, before the sink plate was inserted into the installation opening.

Die Klammer 21 ist aus spritzbarem Kunststoff hergestellt und das Spannteil 35 aus Stahlblech. Bei der Klammer 21 sitzt eine Einrastnase 22 in dem dem Rand 4 der Einbauöffnung abgewandten Schenkel 23. Der andere Schenkel 24 ist gemäss Fig. 3 in der Mitte seiner Tiefe ausgespart, so dass aus herstellungstechnischen Gründen die in Fig. 3 nicht sichtbare Einrastnase 22 und zwei die Einrastnase flankierende Schlitze 25 freiliegen. An dem wegen der Schlitze mittleren Teil 26 des Schenkels sitzt die Einrastnase. Das Schraubenloch 27 erstreckt sich vom Klammerrücken 28 aus in den Schenkel 23 hinein.The bracket 21 is made of sprayable plastic and the clamping part 35 made of sheet steel. In the case of the clip 21, a latching lug 22 is seated in the leg 23 facing away from the edge 4 of the installation opening. The other leg 24 is recessed in the middle of its depth according to FIG. 3, so that the latching lug 22 and which are not visible in FIG two slots 25 flanking the latching lug are exposed. The latching lug sits on the part 26 of the leg that is in the middle due to the slots. The screw hole 27 extends from the back of the bracket 28 into the leg 23.

An der Kante 29, die gebildet wird aus dem Klammerrücken 28 und der Aussenseite des Klammerschenkels 23 ist über eine Wurzel 30 und über einen leicht verbiegbaren Steg 31 ein Schraubenhalter 32 angeformt, der sich in Richtung des Klammerrückens 28 erstreckt und am Ende als Kralle 33 ausgebildet ist, die sich in eine entsprechende Aussparung 34 des Klammerrückens einrasten lässt.On the edge 29, which is formed from the back of the clip 28 and the outside of the clip leg 23, a screw holder 32 is formed via a root 30 and an easily bendable web 31, which extends in the direction of the back of the clip 28 and is formed at the end as a claw 33 which can be snapped into a corresponding recess 34 in the back of the clip.

Im Anlieferzustand sitzt der Spannteil 35 mit seinem zur Schraube 36 parallelen Schenkel 37 in einem Schlitz 38 und wird durch die in den Schraubenhalter 32 eingesetzte Schraube 36 gehaltert. Schraube und Spannteil liegen in diesem Zustand innerhalb der Kontur des Spültischbleches 3, wenn dieses in die Einbauöffnung 2 der Arbeitsplatte 1 hineingesenkt wird. Nach dem Hineinsenken werden vier oder mehr von auf die Randleiste 5 aufgeclipsten Befestigungsvorrichtungen dadurch zum Verspannen vorbereitet, dass der Schraubenhalter 32 um 180° verschwenkt wird. Der mit den Krallen 39 versehene Schenkel des Spannteiles 35 setzt dabei auf die Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 1 auf, während der Schenkel 37, an der Aussenseite des Klammerschenkels 23 entlanggleitend, weiter in den Schlitz 38 eintaucht. Dieser Schlitz 38 setzt sich fluchtend in einen zweiten Schlitz 40 fort, der unmittelbar an die Aussenseite des Klammerschenkels 23 angrenzt und im Ursprungszustand einen Abstand von dem Steg 31 aufweist, der gleich gross ist dem Abstand des erstgenannten Schlitzes 38 von diesem Steg. Die Fig. 1 weist aus, dass sich in dem durch die Kralle 33 festgerasteten Schraubenhalter 32 die Schraube 36 leicht festziehen lässt, und dass die von dem Schenkel 37 auf die Klammer 21 ausgeübte Querkraft der Einrastnase 22 einen sicheren Halt in der Randleiste 5 verleiht.In the delivered state, the clamping part 35 sits with its leg 37 parallel to the screw 36 in a slot 38 and is held by the screw 36 inserted into the screw holder 32. In this state, the screw and clamping part lie within the contour of the sink plate 3 when it is lowered into the installation opening 2 of the worktop 1. After sinking in, four or more fastening devices clipped onto the edge strip 5 are prepared for bracing by pivoting the screw holder 32 through 180 °. The leg of the clamping part 35 provided with the claws 39 is placed on the underside of the worktop 1, while the leg 37, sliding along the outside of the clamp leg 23, continues to dip into the slot 38. This slot 38 continues in alignment in a second slot 40, which directly adjoins the outside of the clamp leg 23 and in the original state has a distance from the web 31 which is the same size as the distance of the first-mentioned slot 38 from this web. 1 shows that the screw 36 can be easily tightened in the screw holder 32 which is locked by the claw 33, and that the transverse force exerted by the leg 37 on the clip 21 gives the latching lug 22 a secure hold in the edge strip 5.
