Abstract

The box has two or more sliding drawer sections (2) adjacent each other or one above the other. These are enclosed in a close-fitting metal frame comprising a top, bottom and sides formed by profiled plates (3-5) at right-angles to each other and joined together at their edges. There are two horizontal and two vertical ribs (11,12) which form a rectangle at the front. The plates are of angular C-section, with a longitudinal groove (3a-5a) at the front for engagement with a rib, and also locking into engagement with the drawer sections (2). The rear longitudinal edges of two or more plates are bent through at right angle, so as to engage behind the rear wall of the box. The plates can be riveted to each other.

Description

Bekannte Schubladenstöcke haben ein Kunststoffgehäuse, in dem übereinander und nebeneinander Schubladen angeordnet sind. Das Kunststoffgehäuse besteht etwa aus einer einstückigen Rahmenkonstruktion, die aus einer Decke, einem Boden, zwei Seitenwänden sowie mehreren Zwischenböden und Zwischenwänden besteht. Das Kunststoffgehäuse besitzt zusätzlich noch eine Rückwand, die an der Rückseite der Rahmenkonstruktion angeleimt oder irgendwie sonst befestigt ist oder mit dieser einen einstückigen Körper bildet.Known drawer units have a plastic housing in which drawers are arranged one above the other and next to one another. The plastic housing consists of a one-piece frame construction consisting of a ceiling, a floor, two side walls and several intermediate floors and partitions. The plastic housing also has a back wall, which is glued to the back of the frame construction or attached in some other way or forms an integral body with it.

Es ist bekannt, zu solchen Schubladenstöcken mindestens zwei Arten von Schubladen herzustellen, wobei die Schubladen der einen Art doppelt so breit sind wie diejenigen der anderen Art. Man kann dann beispielsweise Schubladenstöcke vorsehen, bei denen auf allen Schubladen-Etagen nur schmale Schubladen vorhanden sind, wobei sich beispielsweise vier Schubladen nebeneinander befinden können. Man kann aber auch Schubladenstöcke mit gleichen Aussenabmessungen herstellen, bei denen beispielsweise statt der schmalen nur breite Schubladen vorhanden sind. Ferner können Schubladenstöcke mit gleichen Aussenabmessungen vorgesehen werden, die sowohl breite als auch schmale Schubladen enthalten.It is known to produce at least two types of drawers for such drawer sticks, the drawers of one type being twice as wide as those of the other type. One can then provide, for example, drawer sticks in which only narrow drawers are present on all drawer levels, where, for example, four drawers can be side by side. But you can also produce drawer sticks with the same external dimensions, for example, where only wide drawers are available instead of the narrow ones. Furthermore, drawer sticks with the same external dimensions can be provided, which contain both wide and narrow drawers.

Schubladenstöcke dieser Art, werden des öfteren aufeinander gestellt oder mittels am Kunststoffgehäuse angeordneten Befestigungsmitteln aufeinandergesteckt. Die derart zu einem Kasten zusammengesetzten Schubladenstöcke werden dann oftmals noch zusätzlich in eine starre, beispielsweise metallische, Rahmen-Konstruktion gesetzt, welche dem Kasten eine stabile, belastbare Form verleiht. Ein solcher Rahmen wird beispielsweise dadurch hergestellt, in dem man ein Blechstück um den Kasten biegt, dieses dann an der Nahtstelle verschweisst und anschliessend einfärbt und lackiert.Drawer sticks of this type are often placed on top of one another or attached to one another by means of fastening means arranged on the plastic housing. The drawer units assembled in this way into a box are then often also set in a rigid, for example metallic, frame construction, which gives the box a stable, resilient shape. Such a frame is produced, for example, by bending a piece of sheet metal around the box, then welding it at the seam and then coloring and varnishing it.

Die Herstellung einer solchen Rahmen-Konstruktion erfordert einen verhältnismässig grossen Arbeitsaufwand, was insbesondere betriebswirtschaftliche Nachteile zur Folge hat. So müssen beispielsweise bei der nachträglichen Färbung und Lackierung des Blechrahmens die vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gebildeten Schubladenstöcke abgedeckt werden, will man eine Verfärbung derselben vermeiden.The production of such a frame construction requires a relatively large amount of work, which has economic disadvantages in particular. For example, in the subsequent coloring and painting of the sheet metal frame, the drawer sticks, which are preferably made of plastic, must be covered if one wishes to avoid discoloration of the same.

Zudem kann mit diesem Verfahren nicht immer sichergestellt werden, dass das um den Kasten gebogene Blechstück annähernd spielfrei sowie satt passend an den Schubladenstöcken anliegt, um dadurch eine optimale Halterung derselben zu gewährleisten.In addition, this method cannot always ensure that the piece of sheet metal bent around the box lies almost free of play and fits snugly against the drawer sticks, in order thereby to ensure that they are optimally held.

Die Erfindung hat sich nun die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Kasten mit mindestens zwei Schubladenstöcken und einer metallischen Rahmen-Konstruktion zu schaffen, der die vorstehend genannten Nachteile nicht aufweist.The invention has now set itself the task of creating a box with at least two drawer units and a metallic frame construction, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Kasten gelöst, der gemäss dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet ist.This object is achieved by a box which is designed in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1.

Zweckmässige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.Appropriate embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert. Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt dabei eine perspektivische Ansicht eines aus drei Schubladenstöcken gebildeten Kastens mit einer die Schubladenstöcke umschliessenden metallischen Rahmen-Konstruktion.The invention will now be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. The only figure in the drawing shows a perspective view of a box formed from three drawer sticks with a metallic frame construction enclosing the drawer sticks.

Der als ganzes mit 1 bezeichnete Kasten besitzt im gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiel drei übereinander angeordnete Schubladenstöcke 2. Um diese ist eine Rahmen-Konstruktion montierbar, die aus vier Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 besteht.The box designated as a whole by 1 has, in the exemplary embodiment shown, three drawer sticks 2 arranged one above the other. A frame construction which comprises four profile plates 3, 4 and 5 can be fitted around these.

Wie aus der Figur ersichtlich ist, bilden dabei die beiden Profilplatten 3 die Seitenwänden, die Profilplatte 4 den Boden und die Profilplatte 5 den Deckel der genannten Rahmen-Konstruktion.As can be seen from the figure, the two profile plates 3 form the side walls, the profile plate 4 the bottom and the profile plate 5 the lid of the frame construction mentioned.

Die Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 weisen insbesondere ein zu den Schubladenstöcken 2 hin offenes, eckiges C-Profil auf und sind an Ihren Profil-Enden rechtwinklig miteinander verbindbar.The profile plates 3, 4 and 5 have, in particular, an angular C-profile which is open towards the drawer units 2 and can be connected to one another at right angles at their profile ends.

Jeder Schubladenstock 2 besitzt einen Boden 6, zwei Seitenwände 7, eine Decke 8 sowie drei übereinander angeordnete Schubladen-Etagen. Der Boden 6 hat an seinem Randbereich eine nach unten ragende, umlaufende Rippe 6a, die beim Zusammensetzen der Schubladenstöcke 2 eine zu ihr passende, nach aussen ragende Rippe 8a eines darunter zu liegen kommenden zweiten Schubladenstockes 2 satt passend umgreift.Each drawer unit 2 has a base 6, two side walls 7, a ceiling 8 and three drawer levels arranged one above the other. The bottom 6 has at its edge region a downwardly extending, circumferential rib 6a which, when the drawer sticks 2 are put together, fits snugly around an outwardly projecting rib 8a of a second drawer stick 2 which lies below it.

Jeder Schubladenstock 2 besitzt ferner horizontale Zwischenböden 9 und vertikale Zwischenwände 10, die miteinander und mit dem Boden 6, der Decke 8 und den Seitenwänden 7 zusammenhängen und Schubfächer für die verschiedenen Schubladen abgrenzen.Each drawer unit 2 also has horizontal intermediate floors 9 and vertical intermediate walls 10 which are connected to one another and to the floor 6, the ceiling 8 and the side walls 7 connected and delimit drawers for the different drawers.

Der im wesentlichen von den drei Schubladenstöcken 2 gebildete Kasten 1 besitzt an seiner Frontseite zwei horizontale Rippen 11 und zwei vertikale Rippen 12, wobei letztere insbesondere durch die übereinander liegenden Seitenwände 7 der drei Schubladenstöcke 2 gebildet werden. Wie aus der Figur zudem ersichtlich ist, bilden die Rippen 11 und 12 zusammen ein Rechteck und stehen an ihren Stosspunkten in Abstand voneinander.The box 1 essentially formed by the three drawer sticks 2 has on its front side two horizontal ribs 11 and two vertical ribs 12, the latter being formed in particular by the side walls 7 of the three drawer sticks 2 lying one above the other. As can also be seen from the figure, the ribs 11 and 12 together form a rectangle and are spaced apart at their abutment points.

Die Rippen 12 sowie auch die Rippen 11, welche ihrerseits durch den Boden 6 bzw. die Decke 8 des untersten bzw. obersten Schubladenstockes 2 gebildet werden, sind derart dimensioniert, dass die genannten Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 mit je einem Längsrand auf die Rippen 11 bzw. 12 gesteckt werden können, und zwar so, wie dies nachfolgend noch erläutert wird.The ribs 12 and also the ribs 11, which in turn are formed by the bottom 6 or the ceiling 8 of the lowermost or uppermost drawer unit 2, are dimensioned such that the profile plates 3, 4 and 5 mentioned each have a longitudinal edge on the ribs 11 or 12 can be plugged in, as will be explained below.

Es sei an dieser Stelle angemerkt, dass weitere Einzelheiten sowie Ausbildungsmöglichkeiten der Schubladenstöcke 2 in der europäischen Offenlegungsschrift 0 714 622 beschrieben sind. Nachfolgend wird daher nur noch auf die erfindungsgemässe Rahmen-Konstruktion eingegangen.It should be noted at this point that further details and training options for the drawer units 2 are described in the European patent application 0 714 622. Therefore, only the frame construction according to the invention is discussed below.

Jede Profilplatte 3, 4 und 5 besitzt an ihrem frontseitigen Längsrand einen Längsfalz 3a, 4a bzw. 5a, der zum Einhängen der entsprechenden Platte in eine Längsrippe 11 bzw. Querrippe 12 bestimmt ist. Ferner ist der zweite Längsrand einer jeden Profilplatte 3, 4 und 5 derart rechtwinklig gebogen, dass die Profilplatte in befestigtem Zustand die Rückwand des Kastens 1 satt passend hintergreifen kann. Die entsprechenden, die genannte Rückwand hintergreifenden, abgewinkelten Randbereiche der Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 sind dabei mit 3b, 4b und 5b bezeichnet.Each profile plate 3, 4 and 5 has on its front longitudinal edge a longitudinal fold 3a, 4a and 5a, which is intended for hanging the corresponding plate in a longitudinal rib 11 or transverse rib 12. Furthermore, the second longitudinal edge of each profile plate 3, 4 and 5 is bent at a right angle such that the profile plate, when fastened, can snugly engage behind the rear wall of the box 1. The corresponding, behind the mentioned back wall, angled edge areas of the profile plates 3, 4 and 5 are denoted by 3b, 4b and 5b.

Bodenteil 4 und Deckenteil 5 sind schliesslich auch an ihren beiden kürzeren Rändern rechtwinklig gebogen, und zwar derart, dass sie bei der Montage des Rahmens die Seitenwände 3 umgreifen und an diesen befestigt werden können. Die Befestigung erfolgt hierbei vorzugsweise mittels Nietbolzen, die durch die Bohrungen 13 und 14 hindurchführbar sind.Bottom part 4 and ceiling part 5 are finally also bent at right angles at their two shorter edges, in such a way that they grip around the side walls 3 during assembly of the frame and can be attached to them. The attachment is preferably carried out by means of rivet bolts which can be passed through the bores 13 and 14.

Für die Herstellung der Profilplatten 3 werden zuerst zwei ebene Blechstücke auf die gewünschte Grösse der Längswand des Kastens, welche von der Anzahl der übereinandergestapelten Schubladenstöcken abhängig ist - zugeschnitten. Gleiches gilt an sich auch für die beiden den Boden und Deckel der Rahmen-Konstruktion bildenden Profilplatten 4 und 5, welche ihrerseits auf die Breite der Schubladenstöcke 2 zugeschnitten werden.For the production of the profile plates 3, two flat sheet metal pieces are first cut to the desired size of the longitudinal wall of the box, which depends on the number of stacked drawer sticks. The same applies per se to the two profile plates 4 and 5 forming the base and cover of the frame construction, which in turn are cut to the width of the drawer units 2.

Im nächsten Verfahrensschritt wird jedes zugeschnittene Blechstück zu einem eckigen C-Profil geformt, dass heisst so gefalzt, dass der Längsfalz 3a, 4a oder 5a und der abgewinkelte Randbereich 3b, 4b oder 5b entsteht. Durch dieses Falzen entstehen insbesondere die beiden vorstehend genannten seitlichen Profilplatten 3. Die beiden anderen, zur Bildung des Rahmenbodens und der Rahmendecke bestimmten C-Profile werden zusätzlich auch noch an ihren Profil-Enden gefalzt und zu den in der Figur gezeichneten Profilplatten 4 und 5 geformt. Die beiden abgewinkelten Randbereiche 4c und 5c der Profilplatten 4 und 5 und die beiden C-Profil-Enden der Profilplatten 3 erhalten schliesslich noch je mindestens zwei Bohrungen 13 bzw. 14, welche dazu dienen, jede Profilplatte 3 mit der Profilplatte 4 und der Profilplatte 5 randseitig zu verbinden.In the next process step, each cut piece of sheet metal is formed into an angular C-profile, that is to say folded so that the longitudinal fold 3a, 4a or 5a and the angled edge region 3b, 4b or 5b are produced. This folding produces, in particular, the two lateral profile plates 3 mentioned above. The other two C-profiles intended to form the frame base and the frame ceiling are additionally folded at their profile ends and formed into the profile plates 4 and 5 shown in the figure . Finally, the two angled edge regions 4c and 5c of the profile plates 4 and 5 and the two C-profile ends of the profile plates 3 each have at least two bores 13 and 14, which serve to provide each profile plate 3 with the profile plate 4 and the profile plate 5 to connect at the edge.

Die so hergestellten Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 werden dann auf den zu umrahmenden bzw. zu stützenden Kasten 1 aufgesetzt, und zwar so, wie das in der Figur schematisch dargestellt ist. Hierbei werden zuerst die Profilplatten 3 mit ihren Fälzen 3a frontseitig auf die Rippen 12 gesteckt und mit den Randbereichen 3b an der Kastenrückseite eingerastet. Danach werden die Profilplatten 4 und 5 auf die Rippen 11 gesteckt und in analoger Weise mit den Randbereichen 4b und 5b an der Rückseite des Kastens 1 eingerastet. Die Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 kommen dabei vorzugsweise annähernd spielfrei sowie satt passend an die Schubladenstöcke 2 zu liegen.The profile plates 3, 4 and 5 produced in this way are then placed on the box 1 to be framed or supported, in such a way as is shown schematically in the figure. In this case, the profile plates 3 with their rabbets 3a are first placed on the ribs 12 on the front and engaged with the edge regions 3b on the rear of the box. Then the profile plates 4 and 5 are placed on the ribs 11 and locked in an analogous manner with the edge areas 4b and 5b on the back of the box 1. The profile plates 3, 4 and 5 preferably come to lie almost free of play and fit snugly against the drawer units 2.

Die abgewinkelten Randbereiche 4c und 5c der Profilplatten 4 und 5 decken also in montiertem Zustand randseitig die Profilplatten 3 ab und können mit diesen etwa eine Pressverbindung bilden, oder - wie im gezeichnete Ausführungsbeispiel angedeutet - mittels Nietbolzen verbunden werden.The angled edge regions 4c and 5c of the profiled plates 4 and 5 thus cover the profiled plates 3 on the edge in the assembled state and can form a press connection with them, or - as indicated in the illustrated exemplary embodiment - can be connected by means of rivet bolts.

Die zur Bildung der Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 dienenden Blechstücke werden vorzugsweise von einem Blechband abgeschnitten. Dieses Blechband ist dabei bereits eingefärbt und lackiert, so dass keine nachträgliche Behandlung der Profilplatten erforderlich ist, so wie dies etwa aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist.The sheet metal pieces used to form the profile plates 3, 4 and 5 are preferably cut off from a sheet metal strip. This sheet metal strip is already colored and lacquered, so that no subsequent treatment of the profile plates is necessary, as is known, for example, from the prior art.

Da die aufeinanderstellbaren Schubladenstöcke 2 üblicherweise die gleiche Grundfläche besitzen, können die Profilplatten 4 und 5 zudem in grösseren Stückzahlen an Lager gehalten werden, so dass unter Umständen nur die die Seitenwände bildenden Profilplatten 3 auf die jeweils gewünschte Kastenlänge zugeschnitten werden müssen. Hierzu sei noch erwähnt, dass die Profilplatten 4 und 5 gleichartig dimensioniert und geformt sind, was bedeutet, dass sowohl die Profilplatte 4 als auch die Profilplatte 5 wahlweise entweder zur Bildung des Bodens oder zur Bildung der Decke verwendet werden kann.Since the stackable drawer units 2 usually have the same footprint, the profile plates 4 and 5 can also be kept in large quantities in stock, so that under certain circumstances only the profile plates 3 forming the side walls have to be cut to the desired box length. It should also be mentioned that the profile plates 4 and 5 are of the same type are dimensioned and shaped, which means that both the profile plate 4 and the profile plate 5 can be used either to form the floor or to form the ceiling.

Der mit der erfindungsgemässen Rahmen-Konstruktion versehene, bzw. stabilisierte Kasten 1 kann schliesslich an einer Montagewand befestigt werden. Hierzu besitzt insbesondere die Profilplatte 5 - gegebenenfalls aber auch die Profilplatte 4 - mindestens zwei Öffnungen 15. Diese haben beispielsweise die Form eines umgekehrten Schlüsselloches und dienen dazu, den Kasten 1 an in der Montagewand eingesetzten Schrauben aufzuhängen.The box 1 provided or stabilized with the frame construction according to the invention can finally be attached to an assembly wall. For this purpose, in particular the profile plate 5 - but possibly also the profile plate 4 - has at least two openings 15. These have, for example, the shape of an inverted keyhole and serve to hang the box 1 on screws inserted in the mounting wall.

Selbstverständlich stellt der anhand der Figur beschriebene Kasten 1 nur eine Auswahl von mehreren möglichen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung dar und kann in verschiedener Hinsicht geändert werden.Of course, the box 1 described with reference to the figure represents only a selection of several possible embodiments of the invention and can be changed in various respects.

So kann die metallische Rahmen-Konstruktion auch noch Verschlussmittel besitzen, um ein Öffnen der Schubladen beim Transport des Kastens zu verhindern. So können etwa die Decke und der Boden der Rahmen-Konstruktion Mittel zum Halten mindestens einer Fixierstange und die Griffe der Schubladen Öffnungen zum Hindurchführen der Fixierstange besitzen.The metallic frame construction can also have locking means to prevent the drawers from opening when the box is being transported. For example, the ceiling and the bottom of the frame construction can have means for holding at least one fixing rod and the handles of the drawers can have openings for passing the fixing rod through.

Ferner können im Rahmen der Erfindung die Profilplatten 3, 4 und 5 auch so ausgebildet und geformt sein, dass nur zwei von Ihnen, und zwar jeweils die in montiertem Zustand einander gegenüberliegenden Profilplatten, also entweder die Seitenwände 3 oder die Boden- und Deckwände 4 und 5 mit je einem zum Hintergreifen der Schubladenstöcke 2 bestimmten, abgewinkelten Randbereich versehen sind.Furthermore, in the context of the invention, the profile plates 3, 4 and 5 can also be designed and shaped such that only two of them, in each case the profile plates lying opposite one another in the assembled state, that is to say either the side walls 3 or the bottom and top walls 4 and 5 are each provided with an angled edge area intended for reaching behind the drawer sticks 2.
