Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fastener for rod-like components within a piece of furniture with a length compensation device.
  • Bar-like components for furniture for example, for attaching hinges of doors o. ⁇ . used.
  • through-holes are provided in the furniture and the rod-like components are fastened by screws to the furniture wall.
  • fastening screws are visible from the outside of the furniture.
  • smallest tolerance deviations in the length of the rod-like component cause that this can not be accurately installed in the furniture.
  • the US 2,462,321 shows a hanging device for clothes, which is mounted on the left and right in the cabinet each an elongated rail with prefabricated holes.
  • a clothes rail is mounted, which provides a device for length compensation on both end sides.
  • This device consists of a sleeve along its longitudinal axis has a screw.
  • the clothes rod has at its ends a threaded plug in which the screw engages.
  • the screw is covered by the sleeve. If the adjustment range is exceeded, the screw is visible, so that at the same time a guide for the clothes rail is missing, which can lead to a bending of the screw.
  • the fastening element according to the invention for fastening rod-like components comprises a base part and an intermediate part.
  • the base part can be fastened to a furniture wall.
  • the intermediate part has a head and a shaft with a thread.
  • the shaft can be screwed with a bore having an internal thread in the rod-like component.
  • the head of the intermediate part has a stop area, which is in contact with the base part in contact.
  • the inventive design of the fastening element thereby has a length compensation, so that rod-like components can always be securely attached to the walls of a piece of furniture.
  • the length compensation is realized by screwing or unscrewing the intermediate part in or out of the bore in the rod-like component.
  • the fastening element according to the invention can be attached only to the inside of the furniture walls, so that it from an outside of the furniture is not visible.
  • the design of the fastening element according to the invention also makes it possible that rod-like components can be clamped between two opposite furniture walls.
  • the base part has an external thread, which can be brought into engagement with an internal thread of a sleeve, so that the sleeve can be screwed onto the base part.
  • the stopper portion is formed at the intermediate part by a tapered annular portion.
  • a centering of the rod-like component in the fastening element is made possible in particular.
  • a bevelled area is formed on the base part in order to come into contact with the stop area.
  • the abutment region of the intermediate part is formed as a chamfered region, this results in a particularly good clamping action between the base part and the intermediate part.
  • two laterally flattened areas are formed at the top of the intermediate part.
  • a tool can be attached to the head of the intermediate part in a simple manner, so that a simple clamping of the rod-like component is made possible.
  • the base part preferably has a slot for attachment to the furniture wall.
  • the oblong hole is arranged offset to a center of the base part. As a result, the greatest possible deviations can be compensated.
  • the sleeve preferably has an internal groove to receive a sealing ring.
  • the sealing ring may be formed as a simple O-ring and made of plastic or rubber. At the same time the sealing ring causes the sleeve does not slip on the rod in the unscrewed state on the base part.
  • the sleeve has an inner stop area.
  • This inner stop area can be used in particular to indicate when the intermediate part is unscrewed too far out of the rod-like component.
  • two opposing, flattened areas are formed on the sleeve.
  • the fastening element according to the invention allows a length compensation in the range of about ⁇ 4 mm.
  • a fastener which has a length compensation and can be attached to a piece of furniture on the inner sides of the furniture, without having to provide through holes in the furniture walls.
  • FIGS. 1 to 11 a fastener 1 with length compensation according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
  • the fastening element 1 comprises a base part 4, an intermediate part 8, and a sleeve 14th
  • the base part 4 has an external thread 5 and a slot 6.
  • the slot 6 is arranged offset to a center line XX of the base part 4, so that the greatest possible clearance in the assembly of the fastener is present.
  • the intermediate part 8 consists of a shaft 9 and a head 10 (see. FIGS. 6 and 7 ).
  • the shaft 9 has a thread and the head 10, two opposing flattened portions 12 and 13 are formed in order to attach a tool can.
  • the head 10 comprises an inclined stop area 11 on its upper side.
  • the stop region 11 of the intermediate part 8 is in contact with a stop region 7 of the base part 4.
  • the stop area 7 and 11 are formed with the same inclination.
  • the sleeve 14 has an internal thread 15, an inner stop portion 16 and a groove 17.
  • an inner stop portion 16 On the outside of the sleeve 14, two opposing flattened portions 18 and 19 are formed in order to attach a tool to the sleeve 14 can.
  • the groove 17 serves to receive an O-ring 21 to protect the fastener 1 from dust and dirt.
  • the internal thread 15 of the sleeve 14 is in engagement with the external thread 5 of the base part 4.
  • the fastening element 1 is screwed to an inner side of a furniture wall 3.
  • a bore 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 by means of a screw 22 in the threaded sleeve 23.
  • the base part 4 is firmly attached to the furniture wall 3, without the furniture wall 3 would have to have a through hole.
  • the attachment from the outside of the furniture is not visible.
  • the intermediate part 8 is screwed into a threaded bore 20 on the end face of the rod 2 (see. FIG. 3 ). Then, the O-ring 21 is inserted into the groove 17 of the sleeve 14 and then the sleeve is slipped over the rod 2. Then, the rod 2 is positioned between the two walls of the furniture and the intermediate part 8 so far unscrewed from the rod 2 until the stop area 11 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.
  • a second inventive fastener can be provided or the rod 2 can be easily screwed into a recessed in the furniture wall 3 screw. Since the Stopping area 11 of the intermediate part 8 and the abutment portion 7 of the base part 4 are each formed obliquely, at the same time still a centering of the rod 2 is made possible by the clamping.
  • the sleeve 14 is pushed over the intermediate part 8 and screwed onto the external thread 5 of the base part 4.
  • the fastener 1 is effectively protected from dust or dirt.
  • the abutment portion 16 of the sleeve 14 comes into contact with the underside of the head 10 of the intermediate part 8 and thus prevents the clamping connection between the intermediate part 8 and the base part 4 from coming off.
  • the sleeve 14 further ensures that the fastener 1 can not solve unintentionally.
  • 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 furniture can be removed.
  • the present invention relates to a fastener 1 with a length compensation, which is used for attachment of rod-like components 2 of a piece of furniture.
  • the fastening element 1 comprises a base part 4, which is fixed to a furniture wall 3, and an intermediate part 8 with a shaft 9 and a head 10.
  • the intermediate part 8 connects in the assembled state, the base part 4 with the rod-like component 2.
  • the intermediate part 8 has on Shaft 9 has a thread which can be screwed into a bore 20 with internal thread in the rod-like component 2.
  • the head 10 of the intermediate part 8 has a Stop area 11, which is in the assembled state with the base part 4 in contact.
