Beschreibungdescription
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Befestigungselement für stangenartige Bauteile innerhalb eines Möbels mit einer Längenausgleichsvorrichtung.The present invention relates to a fastening element for rod-like components within a piece of furniture with a length compensation device.
Stangenartige Bauteile für Möbel werden beispielsweise zum Anbringen von Scharnieren von Türen o. Ä. verwendet. Um derartige stangenartige Bauteile am Möbel zu befestigen, werden Durchgangsbohrungen in dem Möbel vorgesehen und die stangenartigen Bauteile mittels Schrauben an der Möbelwand befestigt. Hierbei ist jedoch nachteilig, dass die Befestigungsschrauben von der Außenseite des Möbels sichtbar sind. Weiterhin führen kleinste Toleranzabweichungen in der Länge des stangenartigen Bauteiles dazu, dass dieses nicht mehr exakt in das Möbel eingebaut werden kann.Rod-like components for furniture are used, for example, for attaching hinges to doors or the like. used. In order to attach such rod-like components to the furniture, through holes are provided in the furniture and the rod-like components are fastened to the furniture wall by means of screws. However, it is disadvantageous here that the fastening screws are visible from the outside of the furniture. Furthermore, the smallest tolerance deviations in the length of the rod-like component mean that it can no longer be installed exactly in the furniture.
Darüber hinaus ist aus der DE 41 10 832 A1 eine lösbare Spannverbin- düng bekannt, um ein stangenförmiges Bauteil längenveränderbar zu gestalten. Eine stationäre Befestigung des Bauteiles wird nicht beschrieben. Aus der US 3,951 ,269 ist eine zwischen Wänden verspannbare Stange bekannt, deren Tragkraft aufgrund der wandseitigen Befestigungstechnik jedoch äußerst gering ist.In addition, DE 41 10 832 A1 discloses a releasable clamping connection in order to make a rod-shaped component variable in length. A stationary attachment of the component is not described. From US 3,951, 269 a rod that can be clamped between walls is known, but its load capacity is extremely low due to the fastening technology on the wall.
Es ist von daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Befestigungselement für stangenartige Bauteile eines Möbels bereitzustellen, welches einen Längenausgleich ermöglicht und insbesondere von der Außenseite des Möbels nicht sichtbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Befestigungselement mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fastening element for rod-like components of a piece of furniture, which enables length compensation and in particular is not visible from the outside of the piece of furniture.

In the assembled state, the internal thread 15 of the sleeve 14 is in engagement with the external thread 5 of the base part 4.
Nachfolgend wird die Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsele- mentes sowie die Längenausgleichsfunktion beschrieben. Wie insbeson- dere aus den Figuren 1 und 3 ersichtlich ist, wird das BefestigungselementThe assembly of the fastening element according to the invention and the length compensation function are described below. How in particular which can be seen from Figures 1 and 3, the fastener
I an eine Innenseite einer Möbelwand 3 geschraubt. Hierzu wird in der Möbelwand eine Bohrung vorgesehen, in welcher eine Gewindehülse 23 angeordnet wird, welche ein Innengewinde aufweist. Das Basisteil 4 wird an der Möbelwand 3 ausgerichtet und mittels einer Schraube 22 in der Gewindehülse 23 befestigt. Dadurch ist das Basisteil 4 fest an der Möbelwand 3 befestigt, ohne dass die Möbelwand 3 eine Durchgangsbohrung aufweisen müsste. Somit ist die Befestigung von der Außenseite des Möbels nicht sichtbar. Um nun eine Stange 2 zwischen zwei Wänden des Möbels zu befestigen, wird das Zwischenteil 8 in eine mit Gewinde versehene Bohrung 20 an der Stirnseite der Stange 2 eingeschraubt (vgl. Figur 3). Dann wird der O-Ring 21 in die Nut 17 der Hülse 14 eingelegt und die Hülse anschließend über die Stange 2 gestreift. Dann wird die Stange 2 zwischen den beiden Wänden des Möbels positioniert und das Zwischen- teil 8 so weit aus der Stange 2 herausgeschraubt bis der AnschlagbereichI screwed to an inside of a furniture wall 3. For this purpose, a hole is provided in the furniture wall, in which a threaded sleeve 23 is arranged, which has an internal thread. The base part 4 is aligned with the furniture wall 3 and fastened in the threaded sleeve 23 by means of a screw 22. As a result, the base part 4 is fixedly attached to the furniture wall 3 without the furniture wall 3 having to have a through hole. The attachment is therefore not visible from the outside of the furniture. In order to fasten a rod 2 between two walls of the piece of furniture, the intermediate part 8 is screwed into a threaded bore 20 on the end face of the rod 2 (cf. FIG. 3). Then the O-ring 21 is inserted into the groove 17 of the sleeve 14 and the sleeve is then slid over the rod 2. Then the rod 2 is positioned between the two walls of the piece of furniture and the intermediate part 8 is screwed out of the rod 2 until the stop area
I I des Zwischenteiles 8 sich mit dem Anschlagbereich 7 des Basisteiles 4 in Kontakt befindet. Hierdurch wird die Stange 2 zwischen zwei Wänden des Möbels eingespannt. Es sei angemerkt, dass am anderen Ende der Stange 2 beispielsweise ein zweites erfindungsgemäßes Befestigungs- element vorgesehen werden kann oder die Stange 2 einfach in eine in der Möbelwand 3 eingelassene Schraube eingeschraubt werden kann. Da der Anschlagbereich 11 des Zwischenteiles 8 und der Anschlagbereich 7 des Basisteiles 4 jeweils schräg ausgebildet sind, wird gleichzeitig noch eine Zentrierung der Stange 2 durch das Einspannen ermöglicht.I I of the intermediate part 8 is in contact with the stop area 7 of the base part 4. As a result, the rod 2 is clamped between two walls of the furniture. It should be noted that, for example, a second fastening element according to the invention can be provided at the other end of the rod 2 or the rod 2 can simply be screwed into a screw embedded in the furniture wall 3. Since the stop area 11 of the intermediate part 8 and the stop area 7 of the base part 4 are each formed obliquely, a centering of the rod 2 is made possible by the clamping.
Nachdem die Stange 2 zwischen die beiden Wände des Möbels eingespannt worden ist, wird die Hülse 14 über das Zwischenteil 8 geschoben und auf das Außengewinde 5 des Basisteiles 4 geschraubt. Dadurch wird das Befestigungselement 1 wirksam vor Staub bzw. Schmutz geschützt. Weiterhin kommt der Anschlagbereich 16 der Hülse 14 mit der Unterseite des Kopfes 10 des Zwischenteiles 8 in Kontakt und verhindert so, dass sich die Klemmverbindung zwischen dem Zwischenteil 8 und dem Basisteil 4 löst. Somit stellt die Hülse 14 des weiteren sicher, dass sich das Befestigungselement 1 nicht unbeabsichtigt lösen kann.After the rod 2 has been clamped between the two walls of the piece of furniture, the sleeve 14 is pushed over the intermediate part 8 and screwed onto the external thread 5 of the base part 4. As a result, the fastening element 1 is effectively protected against dust or dirt. Furthermore, the stop area 16 of the sleeve 14 comes with the underside of the head 10 of the intermediate part 8 in contact and thus prevents the clamping connection between the intermediate part 8 and the base part 4 from coming loose. Thus, the sleeve 14 further ensures that the fastening element 1 cannot unintentionally come loose.
Zum Herausnehmen der Stange 2 wird einfach die Hülse 14 wieder vom Basisteil 4 abgeschraubt und das Zwischenteil 8 in die Bohrung 20 in der Stange 2 zurückgeschraubt, so dass das Zwischenteil 8 vom Basisteil 4 fortbewegt wird und die Stange 2 gemeinsam mit dem Zwischenteil 8 vom I O Möbel entfernt werden kann.To remove the rod 2, the sleeve 14 is simply unscrewed again from the base part 4 and the intermediate part 8 is screwed back into the bore 20 in the rod 2, so that the intermediate part 8 is moved away from the base part 4 and the rod 2 together with the intermediate part 8 from the IO Furniture can be removed.
