Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking device for fixing two pieces of furniture together according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Extension walls in their most varied embodiment are well known.
  • Box-shaped office or shelf walls are also very popular. These can be assembled, for example, from individual container-shaped or generally box-shaped basic units, which are also sometimes referred to as modules, with high variability.
  • the modules can be left open, for example, but can also be provided on the front with a variety of flaps. Likewise, drawer elements can be installed etc.
  • a modular furniture system is e.g. from document US-A-4903451.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved locking system for furniture pieces, in particular for box-shaped modular or basic units, in order to fasten or fix such individual parts to each other.
  • a highly efficient connection system is provided with which the individual pieces of furniture to be joined can be provided from home.
  • the basic principle is such that any pieces of furniture provided with corresponding connecting and locking means, for example box-shaped or container-shaped basic or modular units, can be placed on top of each other in order then to actuate the locking or locking device provided there, for example only on the attached modular unit both pieces of furniture are firmly connected.
  • the structure is preferably such that not only similar or functionally identical, but in particular identical locking base portions are provided on each piece of furniture, which are positioned so that with appropriate structure, the provided on the two pieces of furniture locking elements each come to lie congruent to each other. With the same structure can then alternately, depending on which locking base portion is more easily accessible, at this the locking with the other locking portion are made.
  • the locking is effected only by pressing and twisting an actuating member alone.
  • a bayonet-type locking mechanism is provided.
  • certain projections or recesses may be formed on the individual, mutually interacting sections and elements in order to realize the desired bayonet-type locking mechanism.
  • Preferably provided locking arms may consist of a central central portion of the rotatable locking member radially outwardly projecting arms.
  • two locking arms aligned in diagonal extension are preferably provided.
  • the locking element is provided with cross-shaped locking arms.
  • the individual locking portions are formed such that they correspond to the shape of a passage opening in a pot-shaped bottom portion of the respective locking element and in a basic position in height of this Passage opening to come to rest.
  • the entire locking base portion is rotationally mounted in a furniture part. Therefore, the equipped with such a locking element furniture part is quasi closed in a continuous outer surface, since the locking arms of a locking element come to rest at the level of the passage opening, this opening is thereby virtually covered.
  • a spring device which acts on the adjustable locking or rotating part in its unlocked basic or initial position. This ensures that the locking arms come to rest in their basic or initial position exactly in the plane of the passage opening in the cup-shaped bottom of a locking base portion.
  • This also has the advantage that in an unlocking then - when the locking arms are rotated in the release position, wherein they come to rest in this position congruent to the passage opening in the cup-shaped bottom portion of a locking base - is raised by the spring action, the corresponding locking element in its unlocked position. In this position, yet another clamping mechanism is provided, which then holds the rotary member in this axial position.
  • FIG. 1 three box-shaped or container-shaped pieces of furniture 1 built on one another and fixed together are shown in accordance with the schematic perspective illustration.
  • locking means 9 are installed in the lower floor board 1c with the overhead deck board 1d, and, since the floor board 1c and the cover board 1d are twice as large as the end-side side walls 1a and 1b, there are two locking devices 9 are provided, which are arranged centrally in the transverse direction of the rectangular bottom and top board and thereby have a longitudinal distance corresponding to half the length of these board-shaped wall elements, wherein the distance from Center of a locking device 9 to the front end of the rectangular bottom is a quarter of the total length of the board.
  • all mentioned locking devices 9 are functionally identical and preferably even identical, with two mirror-inverted locking devices 9 cooperating in each case and forming the locking device according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 wherein in FIG. 2, in schematic perspective representation, a locking device 9 is shown with a view of the upper side and FIG. 3 shows a corresponding locking device 9 with a view rather on the underside, namely two locking devices 9 cooperate, for example, at the point marked "A" in Figure 1, to connect an overhead floor board 1c with an underlying deck board 1d two furniture containers 1 firmly.
  • two locking devices 9 cooperate, for example, at the point marked "A" in Figure 1, to connect an overhead floor board 1c with an underlying deck board 1d two furniture containers 1 firmly.
  • the two locking devices according to Figure 3 and Figure 4 touch with their bottom surfaces or are positioned only at a small distance.
  • the respectively cooperating locking devices 9 are of cup-shaped design, that is to say comprise a pot-shaped fixed part, housing part or base part 15 which has a pot-shaped or cylindrical bounding wall 15a and a bottom 15b.
  • each locking device 9 also comprises a peripheral edge or flange 15c, which comes to lie in the embodiment shown in the amount of the overhead pot opening 17, ie opposite the lower bottom 15b.
  • Each of the locking devices 9 has a total of a shape deviating from a circular shape in order ultimately to be installed against rotation in a shelf or floor board can.
  • the cylindrical boundary wall 15a of the cup-shaped lock 9 is not against rotation per se.
  • the upper flange-shaped edge 15c is elliptical. According to the material thickness of this edge, an elliptical recess in the respective furniture board 1c and 1d is incorporated in addition to a total of the board passing through cylindrical bore 19, so that after inserted locking device 9, a rotation is not possible. Otherwise, however, for example, one or two screws 21 penetrating the flange-shaped edge 15c could also be screwed into the respective board 1c or 1d in order to prevent twisting even in the case of a circular edge or flange 15c.
  • cup-shaped design of the base or fixed part 15 could also be used, for example. have on the outer circumference deviating from a cylindrical cross-section shape to ensure in a correspondingly elaborate bore 19 through a shelf through a twist-proof seat. However, this is more complicated.
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic axial plan view and in FIG. 5 a schematic axial bottom view of the illustrated locking device 9.
  • the disc-shaped bottom 15b of the locking device 9 has a cross-shaped recess 23.
  • this recess 23 is in the illustrated embodiment formed symmetrically, so that the radially extending from the central axis 25 arm-shaped opening portions 23 'have the same radial length and the same transverse to the radial direction extending width.
  • an adjusting member 29 is arranged, which is hereinafter also partially referred to as a rotary member 29.
  • This rotating part 29 comprises a cover cap-shaped actuating part 29a, a driver 29b located below it and axially adjoining the actuating part 29a and a locking element 29c arranged on the underside of the driver 29b.
  • the above-mentioned portions 29a to 29c of the cut member or rotary member 29 thus formed are rotatably fixed to each other.
  • the thus formed rotary member 29 may also be integrally formed. But it is also possible that the driver 29b to a small extent axially, i. telescopically retractable and extendable, in other words, the axial length of the driver is adjustable.
  • the locking element 29c comprises in the illustrated embodiment, starting from the central axis 25, four locking arms 31, which are also designed by their shape and their arrangement again cross-shaped, so far correspond to the cross-shaped recess 23.
  • the width and length of these locking arms 31 are designed so that they are dimensioned correspondingly smaller, so that even in the normal position shown in Figure 3 or 5, these locking arms 31 are surrounded by a circumferential gap 33, even if they are in height of the bottom 15b in the im Floor located recess 23 are arranged.
  • a total game is achieved, which will be discussed below.
  • a spring device 35 is provided in the interior space 34, which is on the one hand on the cup-shaped housing, ie on the bottom 15 b of the base or fixed part 15, and on the other side on the underside of the cover cap-shaped Operating parts 29a supported. Since the rotary member 29 captive in the cup-shaped housing part (hereinafter partially referred to as fixed part 5) is held, the rotary member 29 can not be pushed out of the cup-shaped receiving space 34 or fall out.
  • the axial longitudinal extension of the rotatable adjusting member or rotary member 29 is such that in the basic position shown in FIG 6, the arm-shaped and radially projecting locking arms 31 come to lie exactly at the level of the cross-shaped recess 23 in the bottom 15b.
  • the aforementioned spring device 35 is adjusted so that the biasing force of the spring exerts on the rotary member 29 in the direction of the overhead flange-shaped edge 15c adjusting forces, but only so far until the cover cap-shaped actuating member 29a reaches the basic position shown in Figure 6. In this basic position, another axial displacement path still remains until the cover-cap-shaped actuating part 29a abuts the upper edge 37. In the position shown in Figure 6 occur However, the formed on the peripheral edge of the cover cap-shaped actuating member 29a one or more (indicated in Figure 9) projections 38 with the introduced in the inner wall of the cup-shaped central portion of the fixed part 15 at corresponding points recesses in interaction.
  • FIG. 7 essentially corresponds to the illustration according to FIG. 6, but with the difference that in FIG. 7 the rotary part or adjusting element 29 is pressed against the force of the spring-type storage device 35 in the direction of the bottom 15b, so that the locking element 29c is in contact with the opposite one Arresting arms 31 is pushed over the surface of the bottom 15b down, in that position in which then the actual locking is made. Since the sectional view according to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 is diagonally represented by the cross-shaped locking element 29c, the total length of the locking elements 31 can only be seen in FIG. 7, but not in FIG.
  • two containers according to FIG. 1 are placed on top of one another in the correct position and are to be fixed to one another, then two explained locking devices 9 are to lie directly congruent to one another in accordance with the illustration according to FIG.
  • the two adjoining arresting devices 9 are aligned mirror-inverted to their central mounting plane 11, i. with their two floors lying on top of each other.
  • the side on which the bottoms come to lie in each case represents the respective outer side of a corresponding container, so that in each case the cover cap-shaped actuating part 29a is freely accessible from the inside of a container.
  • the recess 23 is dimensioned larger than the locking elements 29c movable therethrough, and also in other twisting or locking position, the front ends of the locking elements 29b at the radial distance in front of the cooperating boundary wall 15a of the base or fixed part 15 ends , Sufficient clearance is guaranteed, for example, to compensate for tolerance errors in the fixed connection of two containers to each other.
  • these locking projections 41 of the bottom 15b and / or the adjacent contact surface of the locking arms 31 is preferably roof-shaped in cross-section designed so that with increasing rotational movement of the neutral starting position from an increasingly larger Verspanni setting between the adjusting member 29 of a locking device 9 and the corresponding locking projections 41 in the bottom 15b of each cooperating second locking device 9 sets.
  • Figure 10 is a plan view of the empty cup-shaped housing or fixed part 15 is shown without inserted adjusting member or rotary member 29, so that the corresponding slightly groove-shaped recess 43 can be seen here particularly well.
  • the embodiment has been explained for the case that the recess 23 in the bottom 15c is cross-shaped and also the locking arms 31 are designed in a corresponding cross-shaped. In principle, however, it would also be conceivable that the recesses, such as the locking arms, are designed only in the form of a diagnosis or a bar.
  • a release can be made as easy as the lock again. Exactly that rotary member 29, which has been used for locking, is now turn back so turned or further rotated until the locking arms 31 come to rest in the correct position to the cross-shaped passage opening 23 in the two superposed bottoms 15b. Due to the support of the spring force memory, the pressed-in rotary part is then moved back into its raised position in FIG.
  • Run-up surfaces can be generated with increasing rotational movement an increasingly stronger, axially mutually directed clamping force between the two cooperating locking devices 9.
  • Each of the two locking devices 9 is firmly anchored to the associated piece of furniture, for example on a floor board 1c and a cover board 1c located underneath. Since in each case the flange-shaped peripheral edge 15c comes to rest on the opposite inner side of the container, neither of the two locking devices can be pulled out of its bore in the associated shelf even with increasingly larger mutually facing locking forces.
  • Each of the two locking devices 9 is held by the flange-shaped edge on the associated shelf.
