Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sockelfuß zur höhenverstellbaren Anordnung von Möbelkorpussen auf Stellflächen, bestehend aus einem zum Möbelkorpus geöffneten Teilhohlkörper in Form eines Vielecks mit umlaufenden Anlagerand.The invention relates to a pedestal for the height-adjustable arrangement of furniture bodies on shelves, consisting of a partial hollow body open to the furniture body in the form of a polygon with a peripheral contact edge.

Aus der Deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 3138412 ist ein derartiger Sockelfuß bekannt geworden, der aus einem kastenförmigen Anschlußteil und einem in dieses kastenförmige Anschlußteil einsetzbaren, schraubbaren Stützfuß besthet. Das kastenförmige Anschlußteil ist mit dübelartigen Ansätzen in entsprechende Aussparungen des Bodenbrettes einsetzbar. Das kastenförmige Anschlußteil dieser Vorveröffentlichung ist ein hohler Kunststoff-Spritzling, welcher zum Möbelkorpus wenigstens teilweise geöffnet ist und einen oberen umlaufenden Rand aufweist, der einen glatten übergang zum Bodenbrett schafft. Bei diesem bekannten Sockelfuß müssen mehrere Elemente - kastenförmiges Anschlußteil einerseits und Rohrstücke zur Bildung des Stützfußes andererseits bei der Montage zusammengefügt werden.Such a pedestal is known from German Offenlegungsschrift 3138412, which consists of a box-shaped connecting part and a screwable supporting foot that can be inserted into this box-shaped connecting part. The box-shaped connecting part can be used with dowel-like approaches in corresponding recesses in the floor board. The box-shaped connecting part of this prior publication is a hollow plastic molding which is at least partially open to the furniture body and has an upper peripheral edge which creates a smooth transition to the floor board. In this known base foot several elements - box-shaped connecting part on the one hand and pipe pieces to form the support foot on the other hand must be assembled during assembly.

Es sind ferner Sockelfüße bekannt geworden, die einteilig aus Kunststoff oder KunststoffSchaum gespritzt sind und eine hohe statische Belastbarkeit aufweisen. Der Nachteil dieser Sokkelfüße ist neben dem erheblichen Materialverbrauch das in diesem Bereich nicht zu unterschätzende Gewicht eines solchen Fußelementes.There are also known base feet, which are injection molded in one piece from plastic or plastic foam and have a high static load capacity. The disadvantage of these pedestal feet, in addition to the considerable material consumption, is the weight of such a foot element, which should not be underestimated in this area.

Die Erfindung hat sich gegenüber diesem Stand der Technik die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Sockelfuß anzugeben, welcher die Gewichtsvorteile eines hohlen Fußelementes mit den statischen Vorteilen eines kompakten Sockelfußes kombiniert, wobei alle Einsatzvorteile solcher Sockelfüße erhalten bleiben. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt dadurch daß vom Anlagerand flächige und/oder sich in Rundungen verjüngende Seitenwände in eine trapezförmig gestaltete, zur Ausladung des den Anlagerand bildenden Vielekkes schmalen Standfläche verlaufen.Compared to this prior art, the invention has the object of specifying a base foot which combines the weight advantages of a hollow foot element with the static advantages of a compact base foot, all of the application advantages of such base feet being retained. This object is achieved in that side walls which are flat and / or taper in curves run into a trapezoidal base which is narrow for unloading the polygon forming the investment edge.

Der erfindungsgemäß als einseitig geöffneter Hohlkörper ausgebildete Sockelfuß kann im Spritzgußverfahren, im Blasverfahren oder im Tiefziehverfahren hergestellt werden. Er ist bis auf die zum Möbelkorpus hin gerichtete Öffnung allseitig geschlossen und besitzt Seitenwände, welche zur Erhöhung der statischen Werte in schräger Fläche oder sich in Rundungen verjüngend vom Anlagerand in eine schmalere Standfläche verlaufen. Überraschenderweise bringt diese Gestaltung der Seitenwände eine starke Erhöhung der Belastbarkeit, so daß die Wanddicke des erfindungsgemäßen Teilhohlkörpers entsprechend niedrig gehalten werden kann. Dies steigert wiederum die Wirtschaftlichkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfußes.The base base, which is designed as a hollow body open on one side, can be produced by injection molding, blowing or deep drawing. It is closed on all sides except for the opening facing the furniture body and has side walls that run in a sloping surface to increase the static values or taper in curves from the edge of the installation to a narrower base. Surprisingly, this design of the side walls brings a strong increase in the load-bearing capacity, so that the wall thickness of the partial hollow body according to the invention can be kept correspondingly low. This in turn increases the economy of the base foot according to the invention.

Die Belastbarkeit des Sockelfußes wird noch dadurch erhöht, daß die Seitenwände über die ganze Höhe des Sockelfußes verlaufen und in seitlichen Randbereichen zusammenlaufen, wobei die Randkanten die Abschlüsse des Teilhohlkörpers in den schmalen Randbereichen bilden. Vorteilhaft sind im Bereich der Randkanten von oben nach unten verlaufende, sickenartige Einformungen eingelassen.The resilience of the base foot is further increased by the fact that the side walls run over the entire height of the base foot and converge in lateral edge areas, the edge edges forming the ends of the partial hollow body in the narrow edge areas. Bead-like indentations running from top to bottom are advantageously embedded in the area of the marginal edges.

Auch diese sickenartigen Einformungen erhöhen die Belastbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfußes. Diese Einformungen sind darüber hinaus dafür vorgesehen, daß mit entsprechenden Klammerelementen versehene Blenden oder ähnliche Anbauteile an den erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfuß in seiner Einsatzstellung durch einfache Verrasterung angeschlossen werden können.These bead-like recesses also increase the resilience of the base foot according to the invention. These indentations are also provided so that panels or similar attachments provided with corresponding clamp elements can be connected to the base foot according to the invention in its operating position by simple latching.

Vorteilhaft sind vom Anlagerand nach innen in den Hohlraum versetzt unter 90° zum Anlagerand verlaufende flächige Ausformungen eingelassen, welche als sickenartige Einformungen nach unten in die Seitenwände verlaufen. Diese flächigen Ausformungen dienen zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsmitteln, die beispielsweise gleichzeitig mit der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfußes angeformte Dübelelemente sein können. Die flächigen Ausformungen können aber genau so gut lediglich Öffnungen aufweisen, durch welche zur Befestigung des Sockelfußes am Boden des Möbelkorpus Schrauben, Durchsteckdübel usw. gesteckt werden. Es ist auch eine Kombination zwischen den beschriebenen fest angeformten Befestigungselementen und den losen Befestigungselementen möglich.Advantageously, recesses extending from the contact edge inward into the cavity at 90 ° to the contact edge are advantageously embedded, which run downward into the side walls as bead-like recesses. These two-dimensional formations serve to accommodate fasteners, which can be molded-on dowel elements, for example, simultaneously with the manufacture of the base foot according to the invention. However, the flat shapes can just as well have openings through which screws, push-in dowels, etc. are inserted for fastening the base foot to the base of the furniture body. It is also possible to use a combination between the fixed fastening elements described and the loose fastening elements.

Die trapezförmig gestaltete Standfläche kann in ihrem Mittelbereich eine Einschnürung aufweisen, welche die Standfläche in zwei Teilbereiche aufteilt. Von der Grundfläche der Einschnürung kann ein bei der Herstellung angeformter Gewindebolzen für die Stellschraube aufragen. Diese Stellschraube ist vorteilhaft in Ruhestellung flächenbündig zur Standfläche gehalten. Infolge einer Durchgriffsmöglichkeit durch den offenen Hohlkörper zu einer Verdrehmimik in der Stellschraube kann diese von oben durch den Korpus her zur Feineinstellung verdreht werden.The trapezoidal standing area can have a constriction in its central area, which divides the standing area into two partial areas. A threaded bolt for the set screw formed during manufacture can protrude from the base of the constriction. This adjusting screw is advantageously held flush with the base in the rest position. As a result of the possibility of reaching through the open hollow body to form a twist in the set screw, this can be twisted from above through the body for fine adjustment.

Die Verdrehung selbst kann auch von außen durch Einkerbungen am Rand der Stellschraube selbst erfolgen.The rotation itself can also be done from the outside by indentations on the edge of the adjusting screw itself.

Die Stellfläche des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfußes ist diagonal zu dem den Anlagerand bildenden Vieleck am offenen Bereich des Teilhohlkörpers angeordnet. Dadurch besitzt die Stellfläche die größtmögliche Länge für das Aufstehen, was sich insbesondere bei der Lastverteilung im Einsatzzustand optimal auswirkt.The footprint of the base foot according to the invention is arranged diagonally to the polygon forming the contact edge at the open area of the partial hollow body. As a result, the footprint has the greatest possible length for getting up, which has an optimal effect, in particular when it comes to load distribution in the operating state.

Der erfindungsgemäße Sockelfuß vereinigt in sich den Vorteil eines leichten Aufbaus mit entsprechend geringem Materialverbrauch mit der Festigkeit eines kompakten Sockelfußes. Dies wird durch die besondere Gestaltung der Seitenwände in Kombination mit den Einsickungen und der Tatsache erzielt, daß der erfindungsgemäße Teilhohlkörper bis auf die Öffnung im Bereich des Anlagerandes ein geschlossenes Hohlelement bildet. Die besonders gestalteten Seitenwandungen mit den über den Bereich verteilten Einsickungen begründen auf diese Weise die optimale Belastbarkeit und die exzellente Lastverteilung. Der Anlagerand des zum Möbelkorpus geöffneten Hohlkörpers kann umlaufend der Dicke der Hohlkörperwand entsprechen. Der Anlagerand kann in diesem Bereich auch nach außen und/oder innen verbreitert bzw. verstärkt werden, wenn eine größere Auflagefläche zwischen Anlagerand und Möbelkorpus-Unterboden gewünscht wird. Besonders vorteilhaft ist auch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der Stellschraube zwischen den beiden Teilbereichen der Standfläche zu betrachten. Diese beiden Teilbereiche der Standfläche bilden für sich zwei geschlossene Teilhohlkörper mit jeweils einer Öffnung zur Höhlung des großen Teilhohlkörpers. Auf diese Weise wird die Festigkeit des den großen Teilhohlkörper bildenden Sockelfußes nochmals verstärkt.The pedestal according to the invention combines the advantage of a light construction with a correspondingly low material consumption with the strength of a compact pedestal. This is achieved by the special design of the side walls in combination with the beads and the fact that the partial hollow body according to the invention forms a closed hollow element except for the opening in the region of the contact edge. In this way, the specially designed side walls with the beadings distributed over the area establish the optimal load capacity and excellent load distribution. The contact edge of the hollow body open to the furniture body can correspond all round to the thickness of the hollow body wall. The contact edge can also be widened or strengthened in this area outwards and / or inwards if a larger contact surface between the contact edge and the furniture body underbody is desired. The arrangement of the adjusting screw according to the invention between the two partial areas of the standing area is also particularly advantageous. These two partial areas of the base form two closed partial hollow bodies, each with an opening for concavity of the large partial hollow body. In this way, the strength of the base foot forming the large partial hollow body is further increased.

Zwischen den beiden mit ihren Stirnbereichen die Standfläche bildenden kleinen Teilhohlkörpern, d.h. zwischen den aufeinander zugerichteten Seitenwänden dieser kleinen Teilhohlkörper ist die Stellschraube geschütz angeordnet. Dies ist ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung des Sockelfußes, zumal die Stellschraube in dieser Stellung vor Transportschäden geschützt ist.Between the two small partial hollow bodies forming the base with their end areas, i.e. the set screw is protected between the facing side walls of these small hollow parts. This is a further advantage of the design of the base foot according to the invention, especially since the set screw is protected from transport damage in this position.

Fig. 1 zeigt den Sockelfuß 1 in Seitenansicht. Der Sockelfuß 1 ist gebildet durch die vom Anlagerand 11 verlaufenden Seitenwände 12, 13, 14. Die Seitenwände 12, 13 verlaufen dabei in Rundungen und verjüngen sich vom Anlagerand 11 nach unten in die Standfläche 15. Die Seitenwände 14 verlaufen in flächiger Form. Aus der gezeigten Darstellung ergibt sich, daß oben im Bereich des Anlagerandes 11 Dübelelemente 2, 3, 4 aufragen. Diese Dübelelemente können fest mit den zugeordneten Stellflächen - in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt - verbunden sein. Im Bereich der Standfläche 15 ist der Kopf der Stellschraube 5 mit Eingriffschlitzen 51 zu erkennen.Fig. 1 shows the base foot 1 in side view. The base foot 1 is formed by the side walls 12, 13, 14 extending from the contact edge 11. The side walls 12, 13 run in curves and taper downward from the contact edge 11 into the base area 15. The side walls 14 extend in a flat shape. It can be seen from the illustration shown that dowel elements 2, 3, 4 protrude above in the region of the contact edge. These dowel elements can be firmly connected to the assigned shelves - not shown in the drawing. The head of the set screw 5 with engagement slots 51 can be seen in the area of the standing surface 15.

Aus der Vorderansicht des Sockelfußes 1 in Fig. 2 ergibt sich, daß in die vom Anlagerand 11 in einer Rundung verlaufende Seitenwand 12 die sickenartige Einformung 121 eingelassen ist.The front view of the base foot 1 in FIG. 2 shows that the bead-like indentation 121 is embedded in the side wall 12 extending from the contact edge 11 in a curve.

Vom Anlagerand 11 verdeckt endet diese sikkenartige Einformung 121 in einer in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte flächige Ausformung, welche ihrerseits als Standfläche für den Dübel 2 dient.Covered by the contact edge 11, this sikken-shaped indentation 121 ends in a flat shape, not shown in the drawing, which in turn serves as a standing surface for the dowel 2.

Aus der in Fig. 2 gewählten Darstellung ergibt sich weiter, daß neben der in Runden verlaufenden Seitenwand 12 rechts und links anschließend flächige Seitenwandbereiche 16, 17 angeformt sind, welche vom Anlagerand 11 bis zur Stellfläche 15 in flächiger Form verlaufen. Die Übergangsbereiche zwischen den flächigen Seitenwänden 16, 17 und der in Rundung verlaufenden Seitenwand 12 sind mit den Bezugsziffern 161, 171 versehen. Im Mittelbereich der Standfläche 15 ist die Einschnürung 18 zu erkennen, welche die Standfläche 15 in zwei Teilbereiche aufteilt. Von der Grundfläche 181 erhebt sich zentral der Achsstummel 19, an dessen Stirnbereich die Stellschraube 5 angeordnet ist.From the illustration selected in FIG. 2, it is further evident that, in addition to the side wall 12 running in rounds, flat side wall regions 16, 17 are then formed on the right and left, which run in flat form from the contact edge 11 to the shelf 15. The transition areas between the flat side walls 16, 17 and the rounded side wall 12 are provided with the reference numbers 161, 171. In the central area of the stand area 15, the constriction 18 can be seen, which divides the stand area 15 into two partial areas. The axle stub 19 rises centrally from the base area 181, and the adjusting screw 5 is arranged on the end region thereof.

Fig. 3 zeigt den erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfuß 1 in der Ansicht von unten. Deutlich ist bei dieser Darstellung zu erkennen, in welchen Dimensionen die schmale Standfläche 15 zu dem durch den Anlagerand 11 begrenzten Vieleck steht. Ebenfalls zu erkennen ist die in einer Rund verlaufende rückwärtige Seitenwand 12 in welcher die sickenartige Einformung 121 eingelassen ist. Die sickenartige Einformung 121 ist bis nach oben in den Bereichen des Anlagerandes 11 durchgezogen und verläuft in diesem Bereich in die flächige Ausformung 122, in welche eine Durchstecköffnung 123'eingebracht ist. Die Stellschraube 5 ist deutlich in ihrer Lage zwischen den beiden Standflächenbereichen 15 zu erkennen. In die die Standflächen 15 bildenden Teilhohlkörper sind die Einsickungen 151 eingelassen, die von der Stellfläche 15 bis in den Bereich des Anlagenrandes 11 durchgehen können.Fig. 3 shows the base foot 1 according to the invention in a view from below. This illustration clearly shows the dimensions in which the narrow footprint 15 stands relative to the polygon delimited by the contact edge 11. The rear side wall 12, which runs in a round shape and in which the bead-like indentation 121 is embedded, can also be seen. The bead-like indentation 121 is pulled up to the top in the areas of the contact edge 11 and extends in this area into the flat shape 122 into which a push-through opening 123 'is made. The position of the adjusting screw 5 can be clearly seen between the two standing surface areas 15. In the partial hollow bodies forming the standing surfaces 15, the embossments 151 are let in, which can pass from the standing surface 15 into the area of the system edge 11.

Die in Rundung verlaufende vordere Seitenwand 13 ist von den Rändern 152 der Einsickungen 151 begrenzt. Im Bereich des Anlagerandes 1 sind in der in Rundung verlaufenden vorderen Seitenwand 13 weitere Öffnungen 131, 132 eingebracht. Die Basis dieser Öffnungen 131, 132 sind die flächigen Ausformungen 133, 134, welche den Abschluß der entsprechenden sickenartigen Einformungen in der Seitenwand 13 bilden.The rounded front side wall 13 is delimited by the edges 152 of the beads 151. In the area of the contact edge 1, further openings 131, 132 are made in the rounded front side wall 13. The basis of these openings 131, 132 are the flat formations 133, 134, which form the conclusion of the corresponding bead-like indentations in the side wall 13.

Fig. 4 zeigt den erfindungsgemäßen Sockelfuß 1 in Draufsicht. Der Anlagerand 11 verläuft im oberen Bereich in die gerundete Seitenwand 13, während er im unteren Bereich in die gerundete Seitenwand 12 verläuft. Die gerundete Seitenwand 12 trägt die flächige Ausformung 122, in welche randnah die Durchstecköffnung 123 eingebracht ist. Oberhalb der Durchstecköffnung 123 ist in der Ebene der flächigen Ausformung 122 ein Dübelelement 124 angeformt, welches einstückig mit der flächigen Ausformung 122 verbinden sein kann.Fig. 4 shows the base foot 1 according to the invention in plan view. The contact edge 11 runs into the rounded side wall 13 in the upper area, while it runs into the rounded side wall 12 in the lower area. The rounded side wall 12 carries the flat shape 122, into which the push-through opening 123 is made near the edge. Above the push-through opening 123, a dowel element 124 is formed in the plane of the flat shape 122, which can be connected in one piece to the flat shape 122.

Daran schließt in der Darstellung die Standfläche 15 mit ihren beiden Teilbereichen an. Der Mittelbereich der Standfläche 15 ist durch Einschnürung 18 unterbrochen, in deren Mitte die Durchbrechung 182 als Durchgriffsöffnung für die Stellschraube 5 angeordnet ist. In die die Standfläche 15 bildenden Teilhohlkörper sind nach oben gerichtet die Einziehungen 151 eingelassen.This is followed by the stand area 15 with its two partial areas in the illustration. The central area of the standing surface 15 is interrupted by constriction 18, in the middle of which the opening 182 is arranged as a passage opening for the adjusting screw 5. In the partial hollow body forming the base 15, the recesses 151 are let in directed upwards.

Oberhalb der Einziehungen 151 sind vom Anlagerand 11 nach innen verlaufend jeweils flächige Ausformungen 125, 126 angeordnet, welche angeformte Dübelelemente 1251, 1261 tragen. Die Dübelelemente 1251, 1261 und das Dübelelement 124 sind miteinander im rechten Winkel angeordnet.Above the recoveries 151 are from The contact edge 11 is in each case arranged with planar formations 125, 126 which carry molded dowel elements 1251, 1261. The dowel elements 1251, 1261 and the dowel element 124 are arranged at right angles to one another.

Die gerundete Seitenwand 13 verläuft im oberen Bereich in die flächige Ausformung 130, von welcher die flächigen Ausformungen 133, 134 abstehen, in welche die Öffnungen 131, 132 eingebracht sind. Diese Öffnungen dienen wie die Offnung 123 beispielsweise zum Durchführen von Durchsatzdübeln. An der Spitze im obersten Bereich befindet sich eine weitere flächige Ausformung 127, die ein weiteres angeformtes Dübelelement 1271 trägt. Aus diesem Dübelelement 1271 steht zu den anderen Dübelelementen 1251 und 1261 im rechten Winkel und liegt auf der gleichen Achse wie das Dübelelement 124.The rounded side wall 13 extends in the upper region into the flat formation 130, from which the flat formations 133, 134 protrude, into which the openings 131, 132 are made. Like the opening 123, these openings are used, for example, to pass through dowels. At the top in the uppermost area there is a further planar shape 127 which carries a further molded dowel element 1271. This dowel element 1271 is at right angles to the other dowel elements 1251 and 1261 and lies on the same axis as the dowel element 124.

Die Dübelelemente 124, 1251, 1261, 1271 und die Durchstecköffnungen 123, 131, 132 können nacheinander in den flächigen Ausformungen 122, 125, 126, 130, 133, 134 angeformt bzw. angeordnet sein. Es liegt jedoch im Rahmen der Erfindung, entweder nur die Dübelelemente 124, 1251, 1261, 1271 oder nur die Durchstecköffnungen 123, 131, 132 oder beliebige Variationen zwischen diesen Befestigungsmöglichkeiten vorzusehen. Diese Variationsmöglichkeit bezieht sich auch auf die Anzahl der einzelnen Befestigungselemente, die nach Bedarf eingerichtet werden kann. Fig. 4 zeigt dementsprechend nur ein Ausführungsbeispiel über die Anordnungsmöglichkeiten solcher Befestigungselemente und -möglichkeiten.The dowel elements 124, 1251, 1261, 1271 and the push-through openings 123, 131, 132 can be formed or arranged one after the other in the flat formations 122, 125, 126, 130, 133, 134. However, it is within the scope of the invention to provide either only the dowel elements 124, 1251, 1261, 1271 or only the push-through openings 123, 131, 132 or any variations between these fastening options. This variation possibility also relates to the number of individual fastening elements that can be set up as required. 4 accordingly shows only one exemplary embodiment of the arrangement options of such fastening elements and options.
