Description

The invention relates to a glass cover for furniture or the like, consisting of one in a plastic frame inserted glass plate, the plastic frame with side legs includes the glass plate edge and handle and / or Has bracket parts.

Glass covers for various furniture, cupboards, chests, Showcases and Like. There is a lying or standing sliding cover or doors, as foldable or swing open Hinged lid or hinged door, etc., the glass covers often Have glass plates or other transparent cover plates, those to secure edges, to improve the sliding properties for a sliding movement, for a dense system edged on an edge profile or the like with a plastic frame are, these plastic frames so far from individual Extruded profile pieces are assembled. The production such glass covers is therefore quite cumbersome and complex and also with considerable Manufacturing tolerances connected, what's more, that the extruded profiles are dimensioned relatively strong and the resulting plastic frames are the visible surface the glass cover and often also the tightness affect this cover. Since also the plastic frame the glass plates also handle and / or bracket parts to handle or support the glass cover, these handle and / or bracket parts in one own work step after setting the plastic frame be glued or screwed on, which increases the manufacturing effort further enlarged and with prolonged use of the Glass cover a loosening or detaching the handle and / or Bracket parts fear.

According to DE-A-2 234 226, it has already been proposed that Molding plastic profiles directly onto furniture parts, why the plastic through a hole from the bottom forth in a on the top of the furniture part, preferably in Injection mold spanned area of a receiving groove and then the hole is closed again. Here however, there is only very weak cohesion between profile and furniture part, so that these profiles because of their low resilience as a carrier for handles od. Like. Are unsuitable and also in the manufacture of glass covers were not used.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a glass cover of the kind described at the beginning, which through their low-effort production, their clean and flawless plastic frames, their functional reliability and durability.

The invention solves this problem in that the plastic frame in a manner known per se directly on the glass plate is injection molded, with the handle and / or Bracket parts the side legs over at least one cross-piece formed by a hole in the glass plate stay in contact. The direct injection of the Plastic frame enables rational production of the Plastic bezel for the glass plates with relatively tight manufacturing tolerances and allows at the same time with the Injection molding of the plastic frame at the desired places also the shaping of handle and / or bracket parts. In order to do this through the in the area of these handle and / or bracket parts occurring higher loads a peeling of the plastic frame from the glass plate to prevent what because of the missing connection between glass or the like and Plastic would be feared, they are in the area of this parts of the side legs under load over crossbars, which extend through prepared glass plate holes connected with each other. These crossbars look like rivets and lead to a secure and heavy-duty attachment the handle and / or bracket parts on the glass plate a positive connection.

Form the side legs of the plastic frame widened Fastening tabs with the handle and / or bracket parts can be provided with an attractive design for a correspondingly large contact surface of the handle and / or mounting parts on the glass plate and for the Arrangement of sufficient number of crossbars can be taken care of without to unnecessarily oversize the remaining frame area have to. Such plastic frames can be used with Handle parts also with more heavily loaded bracket parts, such as Fitting attachments, hinge bearings or the like.

In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is illustrated in more detail using an exemplary embodiment, namely show

1 and 2

a part of a glass cover according to the invention in plan view or in cross section along the line II-II of FIG. 1st

A glass cover in the form of a sliding glass cover 1 consists of a glass plate 2, directly on the one Plastic frame 3 is injection molded, the plastic frame 3 with its side legs 4 the edge 5 of the glass plate 2 includes. When molding the plastic frame 3 are widened on the side legs 4 at the same time, Handle parts 6 forming attachment tabs 7, which extending through holes 8 of the glass plate 2, in the course of the injection molding transverse webs 9 with each other are connected so that a solid, heavy-duty Hold the plastic frame 3 on the glass plate 2 especially is guaranteed in the area of the handle.

Claims (2)

1. A glass cover (1) for furniture, such as, for example, cupboards, chests or show-cases, consisting of a pane of glass (2) inserted in a plastic frame (3), the plastic frame (3) engaging around the edge (5) of the pane of glass by side limbs (4) and having grip and/or holder parts (6), characterised in that the plastic frame (3) is extruded in manner known per se directly on the pane of glass (2), the side limbs (4) being interconnected, in the region of the grip and/or holder parts (6), by means of at least one transverse web (9) formed through a hole (8) in the pane of glass (2).
2. A glass cover according to claim 1, characterised in that the side limbs (4) of the plastic frame (3) form widened fixing lugs (7) which are provided with the grip and/or holder parts (6).
