Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Sockelblendenhalter zur Festlegung einer Sockelblende an einem Möbelteil, umfassend ein an der Unterseite eines Möbels festlegbares Gleitstück mit einer Aufnahmehülse zur Aufnahme eines höhenverstellbaren Möbelfußes und einen lösbar am Gleitstück oder am Möbelfuß angebrachten Blendenclips zur Halterung einer Sockelblende.The present invention relates to a plinth holder for fixing a plinth to a piece of furniture, comprising a slide that can be fixed on the underside of a piece of furniture with a receiving sleeve for receiving a height-adjustable furniture base and a cover clip detachably attached to the slide or on the furniture base for holding a plinth.

Sockelblendenhalter der vorerwähnten Art sind bekannt.Plinth panel holders of the aforementioned type are known.

In der Praxis wird ein Möbelteil üblicherweise mit vier Gleitstücken ausgestattet, in die entsprechende Möbelfüße eingesetzt werden. Frontseitig werden dann an den Gleitstücken Blendenclipse angebracht, die eine Sockelblende im Bereich der Möbelvorderseite fixieren. Das Befestigen der Gleitstücke an einem Möbelteil erfolgt meist schon werkseitig, so daß ein derartiges Möbelteil schon über die Gleitstücke bodenseitig abstützbar ist und sowohl während des Transportes wie auch während der endgültigen Aufstellung beschädigungsfrei abstützbar und leicht bewegbar ist.In practice, a piece of furniture is usually equipped with four sliders into which the corresponding furniture feet are inserted. Panel clips are then attached to the front of the sliders, which fix a base panel in the area of the front of the furniture. The sliders are usually attached to a piece of furniture at the factory, so that such a piece of furniture can already be supported on the bottom by the sliders and can be supported without damage and easily moved both during transport and during the final installation.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Sockelblendenhalter der gattungsgemäßen Art so zu gestalten, daß dieser Sockelblendenhalter uneingeschränkt an verschiedenen Möbelteilen mit unüblichen Grundrißformen verwendbar ist.The present invention has for its object to design a plinth panel holder of the generic type so that this plinth panel holder can be used without restriction on different furniture parts with unusual floor plans.

Eine Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei einem am Gleitstück festgelegten Blendenclips erfindungsgemäß darin, daß der Blendenclips einen zur Befestigungsebene des Gleitstückes hin offenen, U-förmigen Klemmsteg und einen an einem Schenkel des Klemmsteges angeformten, parallel zur Befestigungsebene des Gleitstückes verlaufenden und an seinem freien Ende mit einer Haltenase versehenen Haltesteg aufweist und mit seinem Klemmsteg auf eine am Gleitstück angeformte, sich lotrecht zur Befestigungsebene nach unten erstreckende Rippe aufgeklemmt ist, die bogenförmig um die Aufnahmehülse herum verläuft.A solution to this problem in the case of a diaphragm clip fixed to the slider is that the diaphragm clip has an open to the fastening plane of the slider, U-shaped clamping web and a molded on a leg of the clamping web, running parallel to the mounting plane of the slider and provided at its free end with a retaining lug and is clamped with its clamping web on a molded on the slider, extending perpendicular to the mounting level rib down , which runs in an arc around the receiving sleeve.

Hiermit wird erreicht, daß bei einfachster Gestaltung des Blendenclips dieser in verschiedenen Winkelstellungen - bezogen auf die Längsachse der Aufnahmehülse - am Gleitstück befestigt werden kann, so daß mit einem derartigen Sockelblendenhalter verschieden gestaltete, im Grundriß unübliche Formen aufweisende Möbelteile ausgestattet werden können. Es besteht dann immer die Möglichkeit, den Blendenclips in eine solche Lage zu bringen, daß die Befestigung der Sockelblende parallel zu einer Frontfläche des Möbelteiles möglich ist.This ensures that, with the simplest design of the cover clip, it can be attached to the slider in different angular positions, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the receiving sleeve, so that differently designed furniture parts with unusual shapes can be fitted with such a base cover holder. It is then always possible to bring the panel clips into such a position that the base panel can be attached parallel to a front surface of the furniture part.

Bei einem am Möbelfuß kraft- und/oder formschlüssig festgelegten Blendenclips besteht eine zweite Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe darin, daß der Blendenclips im Haltebereich der Sockelblende wenigsten eine Rastnase/Rastzunge trägt, die als federnder Arm ausgebildet ist und im Vormontagezustand etwa im spitzen Winkel von der Sockelblendenoberfläche absteht, während sie im Endmontagezustand etwa parallel zur Sockelblendenoberfläche liegt und die Rastnase/Rastzunge im Endmontagezustand die Sockelblende nach erfolgter Höhenverschiebung im Zuge der Justierung rastend fixiert.In the case of a non-positively and / or positively fixed panel clip on the furniture base, a second solution of the task according to the invention is that the panel clip in the holding area of the base panel carries at least one latching nose / latching tongue, which is designed as a resilient arm and in the pre-assembled state approximately at an acute angle from the Plinth surface protrudes, while in the final assembly state it is approximately parallel to the plinth surface and the locking lug / latching tongue in the final assembly state fixes the plinth panel after the height has been adjusted in the course of the adjustment.

Hiermit wird erreicht, daß bei einfachster Gestaltung des Sockelblendenhalteelementes dieses in verschiedenen Winkelstellungen - bezogen auf die Längsachse der Aufnahmeöffnungen bzw. Möbelfüße - am Gleitstück/Basisteil befestigt werden kann, so daß mit einem derartigen Sockelblendenhalter verschieden gestaltete, im Grundriß unübliche Formen aufweisende Möbelteile ausgestattet werden können. Es besteht dann immer die Möglichkeit, das Sockelblendenhalteelement in eine solche Lage zu bringen, daß die Befestigung der Sockelblende parallel zu einer Frontfläche des Möbelteiles möglich ist.This ensures that, with the simplest design of the plinth holder element, it can be attached to the slider / base part in various angular positions, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the receiving openings or furniture feet, so that differently designed furniture parts with unusual shapes in plan are equipped with such a plinth holder can. There is then always the possibility of closing the plinth holding element in such a position bring that the attachment of the base panel parallel to a front surface of the furniture part is possible.

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 insgesamt ein Sockelblendenhalter bezeichnet, der aus einem Gleitstück 2 sowie einem Blendenclips 3 besteht.In Figures 1 to 3, the reference numeral 1 designates a base panel holder, which consists of a slider 2 and a panel clip 3.

Das Gleitstück 2, welches ebenso wie der Blendenclips 3 vorzugsweise jeweils einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, weist eine Aufnahmehülse 4 zur Aufnahme eines nicht weiter gezeigten, höhenverstellbaren Möbelfußes auf und ist beispielsweise über Befestigungsschrauben an der Unterseite eines Möbelteiles festlegbar. In Figur 2 ist die Befestigungsebene mit dem Bezugszeichen 5 bezeichnet.The slider 2, which, like the cover clip 3, is preferably made in one piece from plastic, has a receiving sleeve 4 for receiving a height-adjustable furniture foot (not shown further) and can be fixed, for example, using fastening screws on the underside of a furniture part. In Figure 2, the mounting level is designated by the reference numeral 5.

Abweichend vom dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann das Gleitstück 2 aber auch in bekannter Weise über Spreizdübel an einem Möbelteil befestigt werden.In a departure from the exemplary embodiment shown, the slider 2 can also be fastened to a piece of furniture in a known manner via expansion dowels.

Der Blendenclips 3 ist lösbar am Gleitstück 2 befestigt und zwar über einen zur Befestigungsebene 5 hin offenen, U-förmigen Klemmsteg 6, dessen beide Schenkel 7 und 8 eine am Gleitstück 2 angeformte, von der Befestigungsebene 5 sich nach unten erstreckende Rippe 9 zwischen sich einklemmen. Zur Verbesserung der Festlegung des Blendenclips 3 am Gleitstück 2 ist zumindest einer der Schenkel 7 oder 8 des Klemmsteges 6 innenseitig mit einer Verzahnung 10 versehen und entsprechend die Rippe 9 des Gleitstückes 2 ebenfalls mit Zähnen 11 ausgestattet, so daß sich eine gut rastende Verbindung zwischen dem Klemmsteg 6 und der Rippe 9 ergibt.The aperture clip 3 is releasably attached to the slide 2, namely via a U-shaped clamping web 6, which is open towards the attachment level 5, the two legs 7 and 8 of which clamp a rib 9, which is formed on the slide 2 and extends downward from the attachment level 5 . To improve the setting of the aperture clip 3 on the slider 2, at least one of the legs 7 or 8 of the clamping web 6 is provided on the inside with teeth 10 and accordingly the rib 9 of the slider 2 is also equipped with teeth 11, so that there is a well-locking connection between the Terminal web 6 and the rib 9 results.

Die Rippe 9 verläuft im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel über einen Winkelbereich von etwa 90° konzentrisch zur Aufnahmehülse 4, so daß entsprechend der Blendenclips 3 in diesem Winkelbereich längs der Rippe 9 verschoben werden kann, so daß die Möglichkeit besteht, eine in Figur 2 angedeutete Sockelblende 12 bei Möbelteilen mit unüblichem Grundriß (dreieckig, sechseckig, kreisförmig oder dergleichen) entsprechend dem gewünschten Verlauf der Sockelblende 12 auszurichten.The rib 9 extends in the illustrated embodiment over an angular range of approximately 90 ° concentrically to the receiving sleeve 4, so that according to the aperture clips 3 can be moved along the rib 9 in this angular range, so that there is the possibility of a base panel 12 indicated in FIG Align furniture parts with an unusual floor plan (triangular, hexagonal, circular or the like) according to the desired profile of the base panel 12.

Bei dem in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Rippe 9 die äußere Begrenzung einer Nut 13, in die der mit dem Bezugszeichen 8 versehene Schenkel des Klemmsteges 6 eingeschoben ist.In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the rib 9 is the outer boundary of a groove 13 into which the leg of the clamping web 6, which is provided with the reference number 8, is inserted.

Hierdurch wird dieser Schenkel 8 beidseitig abgestützt, wodurch eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung des Blendenclips 3 in seinem Befestigungsbereich erzielt wird.As a result, this leg 8 is supported on both sides, whereby an additional stabilization of the aperture clip 3 is achieved in its fastening area.

Es ist aber auch denkbar, die Rippe 9 über die untere Begrenzungsebene des Gleitstückes 2 hinaus nach unten zu ziehen und den Klemmsteg 6 mit seinen beiden Schenkeln 7 und 8 frei über diese Rippe 9 greifen zu lassen.However, it is also conceivable to pull the rib 9 downward beyond the lower boundary plane of the sliding piece 2 and to allow the clamping web 6 with its two legs 7 and 8 to freely grip over this rib 9.

Der Blendenclips 3, dessen Klemmsteg 6 lotrecht zur Befestigungsebene 5 des Gleitstückes 2 verläuft, ist mit einem an den Schenkel 7 angeformten und parallel zur Befestigungsebene 5 verlaufenden Haltesteg 14 versehen. Dieser Haltesteg 14 weist an seinem freien Ende eine Haltenase 15 auf, die zur Fixierung der Sockelblende 12 dient, so wie in Figur 2 sehr anschaulich dargestellt.The aperture clip 3, the clamping web 6 of which runs perpendicular to the fastening plane 5 of the slide 2, is provided with a holding web 14 which is integrally formed on the leg 7 and runs parallel to the fastening plane 5. This retaining web 14 has at its free end a retaining lug 15, which serves to fix the base panel 12, as shown very clearly in Figure 2.

Der Blendenclips 3 wird zunächst auf die Rippe 9 des Gleitstückes 2 aufgeschoben und in seine höchste Stellung gebracht. Nach dem Ausrichten der Sockelblende 12 wird dann der Blendenclips 3 nach unten gedrückt, so daß die Haltenase 15 die Sockelblende 12 vorderseitig übergreift und fixiert. Soll die Sockelblende 12, beispielsweise zu Reinigungszwecken, entfernt werden, so wird der Blendenclips 3 nach oben angehoben, so daß die Haltenase 15 außer Eingriff mit der Sockelblende 2 kommt. Diese kann nun bequem entfernt und in der weiter oben schon beschriebenen Weise ggf. auch wieder am Gleitstück 2 fixiert werden.The aperture clip 3 is first pushed onto the rib 9 of the slider 2 and brought into its highest position. After aligning the base panel 12, the panel clips 3 are then pressed down so that the retaining lug 15 engages over and fixes the base panel 12 on the front side. If the base panel 12 is to be removed, for example for cleaning purposes, the panel clip 3 is lifted upward so that the retaining lug 15 disengages from the base panel 2. This can now be conveniently removed and, if necessary, also fixed again on the slide 2 in the manner already described above.

Die Rippe 9 kann kreisbogenförmig und konzentrisch zur Aufnahmehülse 4 verlaufend ausgebildet sein, ebenso besteht die Möglichkeit, die Rippe 9 der Grundrißform eines Möbelteiles entsprechend abzuwinkeln oder der Rippe einen vieleckigen Verlauf zu geben.The rib 9 can be designed in the shape of a circular arc and concentric to the receiving sleeve 4, and there is also the possibility of angling the rib 9 according to the outline shape of a furniture part or of giving the rib a polygonal shape.

Bei dem in Figur 6 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 insgesamt ein Sockelblendenhalter bezeichnet, der aus einem Gleitstück/Basisteil 2 sowie einem Blendenclips 3a besteht. Das Gleitstück/Basisteil 2, welches ebenso wie der Blendenclips 3a vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, weist eine Aufnahmehülse 4 zur Aufnahme eines höhenverstellbaren Möbelfußes 16 auf und ist beispielsweise über Befestigungsschrauben an der Unterseite eines Möbelteiles festlegbar.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the reference numeral 1 designates overall a base cover holder which consists of a sliding piece / base part 2 and a cover clip 3 a. The slider / base part 2, which, like the cover clip 3a, is preferably made of plastic, has a receiving sleeve 4 for receiving a height-adjustable furniture foot 16 and can be fixed, for example, using fastening screws on the underside of a furniture part.

Abweichend hiervon kann das Gleitstück/Basisteil 2 aber auch in bekannter Weise über Spreizdübel an einem Möbelteil befestigt werden.Deviating from this, the slider / base part 2 can also be fastened to a furniture part in a known manner by means of expansion dowels.

Der Blendenclips 3a ist lösbar am Möbelfuß 16 befestigt und zwar über einen zum Möbelfuß 16 hin offenen, U-förmigen Klemmsteg 6a, dessen beide Schenkel 7a und 8a den Möbelfuß 16 klemmend umfassen.The cover clip 3a is detachably fastened to the furniture base 16, specifically via a U-shaped clamping web 6a open towards the furniture base 16, the two legs 7a and 8a of which clamp the furniture base 16 in a clamping manner.

Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Blendenclips 3a zweiteilig ausgebildet. Er besteht aus dem klammerartigen Klemmstück 6a und dem an der Blende 12 befestigten Haltestück 17. Beide Teile 6a, 17 sind durch eine T-Führung 18 miteinander verbunden, so daß eine Ausrichtung der Blende in ihrer Längsrichtung möglich ist.In the embodiment shown, the aperture clip 3a is formed in two parts. It consists of the clamp-like clamping piece 6a and the holding piece 17 fastened to the screen 12. Both parts 6a, 17 are connected to one another by a T-guide 18, so that alignment of the screen in its longitudinal direction is possible.

Natürlich ist auch eine einstückige Gestaltung des Blendenclips 3a denkbar.Of course, a one-piece design of the aperture clip 3a is also conceivable.

Am blendenseitigen Haltestück 17 ist eine federnde Rastnase/Rastzunge 19 angeformt, die im Vormontagezustand etwa im spitzen Winkel von der Oberfläche der Blende 12 absteht, wie die gestrichelt eingezeichnete Vormontagestellung gut erkennen läßt.A resilient locking lug / locking tongue 19 is formed on the cover-side holding piece 17 and, in the pre-assembly state, projects approximately at an acute angle from the surface of the panel 12, as the pre-assembly position shown in dashed lines shows clearly.

Die Rastnase 19 kann an ihrem Ende mit mehreren Rasterhebungen 20 versehen sein, die eine bessere Rastung und Kraftabtragung im Zustand der Endmontage zulassen.The locking lug 19 can be provided at its end with a plurality of locking lugs 20, which allow better locking and power transmission in the state of final assembly.

Diesen Rasterhebungen 20 entsprechend sind am Umfang des Gleitstückes/Basisteiles 2 über einen größeren Bereich umlaufende Rastmittel 21, z.B. Nuten, Rippen, Zähne, Vertiefungen oder dgl. angebracht, die einen Formschluß mit den Rasterhebungen 20 der Rastzunge 19 herbeiführen, wobei eine maßliche und gestalterische Abstimmung zwischen den Rastmitteln 21 und 20 zweckmäßig ist.Corresponding to these raster elevations 20, locking means 21, e.g. Grooves, ribs, teeth, recesses or the like. Attached, which bring about a positive connection with the raster elevations 20 of the latching tongue 19, a dimensional and design coordination between the latching means 21 and 20 being expedient.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel entsprechend Fig. 6 sind die Rastmittel als umlaufende Verzahnung 21 am Basisteil 2 ausgebildet.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, the latching means are designed as circumferential teeth 21 on the base part 2.

Der Umriß des Basisteiles 2 kann beliebig gewählt werden: rund, viereckig, sechseckig oder partiell über einen Winkelbereich gerundet/gebogen, so daß beispielsweise der Blendenclips 3a in diesem Winkelbereich umfangsseitig verschoben werden kann, so daß die Möglichkeit besteht, eine Sockelblende 12 bei Möbelteilen mit unüblichem Grundriß (dreieckig, sechseckig, kreisförmmig oder dergleichen) entsprechend dem vorhandenen Verlauf auszurichten.The outline of the base part 2 can be chosen as desired: round, square, hexagonal or partially rounded / bent over an angular range, so that, for example, the aperture clip 3a can be displaced circumferentially in this angular range, see above that there is the possibility of aligning a base panel 12 for furniture parts with an unusual layout (triangular, hexagonal, circular or the like) according to the existing course.

An der unteren Stirnseite ist die Sockelblende 12 noch mit einer elastisch verformbaren Dichtlippe 22 ausgestattet.On the lower end face, the base panel 12 is also equipped with an elastically deformable sealing lip 22.

Die Montage der Sockelblende 12 erfolgt in folgender Weise: Die Sockelblende 12 wird - entsprechend der gestrichelt gezeichneten Vormontagestellung - in Richtung des Pfeiles B auf das Möbel zugeschoben. Hierbei umfaßt das Klemmstück 6a den Möbelfuß 16 klemmend und die federnde Rastzunge 19 nimmt die gezeichnete Stellung ein und liegt parallel zur Oberfläche der Blende 12.The base panel 12 is assembled in the following manner: The base panel 12 is pushed toward the furniture in the direction of arrow B, in accordance with the pre-assembly position shown in dashed lines. Here, the clamping piece 6a clamps the furniture foot 16 and the resilient latching tongue 19 assumes the position shown and lies parallel to the surface of the panel 12.

Die Rastmittel 20, 21 haben Kontakt miteinander und bilden einen Formschluß. Da die Sockelblende 12 am Auflagefuß 23 anliegt, nimmt die Sockelblende 12 eine definierte Lage ein und liegt etwa prallel zur Möbelform.The latching means 20, 21 are in contact with one another and form a positive connection. Since the base panel 12 rests on the support foot 23, the base panel 12 assumes a defined position and lies approximately parallel to the shape of the furniture.

Wird jetzt mit einem Werkzeug (z.B. Schraubendreher) die Sockelblende 12 in Richtung des Pfeiles A gedrückt - die Klemmverbindung zwischen dem Klemmstück 6a und dem Möbelfuß 16 läßt dieses ohne weiteres zu - bewegt sich die Sockelblende 12 über die Rastmittel 20, 21 ratschend nach unten, verformt die Dichtlippe 22 und nimmt die gezeichnete Endmontagestellung entsprechend Fig. 1 ein.If the base panel 12 is now pressed in the direction of arrow A with a tool (for example a screwdriver) - the clamping connection between the clamping piece 6a and the furniture base 16 allows this without further ado - the base panel 12 moves downward in a ratcheting manner via the latching means 20, 21, deforms the sealing lip 22 and takes the final assembly position shown in FIG. 1.

Diese Phase läßt auch erkennen, daß es sinnvoll ist, die Rastmittel 20, 21 so auszubilden, daß die Wirkung eines Gesperres entsteht.This phase also shows that it makes sense to design the locking means 20, 21 so that the effect of a locking mechanism is created.

Zum Entfernen der Sockelblende 12 kann die Sockelblende 12 mit entsprechendem Kraftaufwand abgezogen, d.h. entfernt werden. Danach kann sie in der beschriebenen Weise erneut angesetzt werden.To remove the base panel 12, the base panel 12 can be pulled off with the appropriate effort, i.e. be removed. Then it can be reapplied in the manner described.

Es ist natürlich auch denkbar, die Rastzunge 19 als separates, an der Blende 12 zu befestigendes Teil auszubilden.It is of course also conceivable to design the latching tongue 19 as a separate part to be fastened to the panel 12.

Auch ist es denkbar, eine Rastzunge 19a - wie gestrichelt eingezeichnet - am Schenkel 7a, 8a anzuformen.It is also conceivable to form a latching tongue 19a on the legs 7a, 8a, as shown in broken lines.

Auch ist die Ausbildung als langgestreckte, im Vormontagezustand einen spitzen Winkel zur Oberfläche der Blende 12 bildenende, Rastzunge 19 nicht zwingend notwendig.Also, the design as an elongated latching tongue 19, which in the pre-assembled state forms an acute angle to the surface of the diaphragm 12, is not absolutely necessary.

Bei entsprechender Anpassung der Rastmittel 20, 21 sind auch beliebige andere Gestaltungen denkbar, sofern eine toleranzausgleichende Federwirkung beibehalten wird. Die gezeichnete und beschriebene Ausführung hat jedoch den Vorteil, daß auch größere Toleranzen zwischen allen zugehörigen Teilen ausgeglichen werden, ohne die Zuverlässigkeit der Funktion zu beeinträchtigen. D.h. die Sockelblende 12 wird auch gehalten, wenn die Rastzunge 19 nicht - wie gezeichnet - parallel liegt, d.h. an der Oberfläche der Blende 12 anliegt, sondern auch dann, wenn die Rastzunge 19 in einem geringen Winkel zur Oberfläche der Blende 12 steht.With corresponding adjustment of the latching means 20, 21, any other design is also conceivable, provided that a tolerance-compensating spring action is maintained. The drawn and described embodiment has the advantage, however, that larger tolerances between all associated parts are compensated for, without impairing the reliability of the function. I.e. the base panel 12 is also held when the locking tongue 19 is not - as shown - parallel, i.e. abuts the surface of the panel 12, but also when the locking tongue 19 is at a slight angle to the surface of the panel 12.

Allerdings kann es sinnvoll sein, wenn solch eine Konstellation wahrscheinlich ist, die Rasterhebungen 20 so anzupassen, daß auch in diesen Fällen ein guter Formschluß zwischen den Rastmitteln 20, 21 entsteht.However, it may be useful if such a constellation is likely to adapt the raster elevations 20 in such a way that there is a good positive fit between the latching means 20, 21 in these cases as well.
