Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Schubkasten mit einer Frontverstellung, mit einem an einer Seitenzarge festlegbaren Schieber, der an einer mit einer Frontblende verbindbaren Führung verschiebbar gelagert ist.The present invention relates to a drawer with a front adjustment, with a fixable on a side frame slider which is slidably mounted on a connectable with a front panel guide.

Die DE 100 21 033 offenbart eine Verstellvorrichtung für die Frontblende einer Schublade, bei der in einem Gehäuse zahlreiche Verstellmittel in Form von Ritzeln, Hebeln und Zahnstangen vorgesehen sind, mittels denen eine relative Verstellung der Frontblende gegenüber der Schubladenzarge möglich ist. Die Verstellmechanik benötigt eine Vielzahl von Bauteilen und ist vergleichsweise aufwendig in der Herstellung.The DE 100 21 033 discloses an adjustment device for the front panel of a drawer, in which numerous adjustment means in the form of pinions, levers and racks are provided in a housing, by means of which a relative adjustment of the front panel relative to the drawer frame is possible. The adjustment requires a large number of components and is relatively expensive to manufacture.

Die DE 39 30 662 offenbart eine Verstelleinrichtung für die Frontblende eines Schubkastens, bei der eine von der Seite betätigbare Schraube mit einem Zahnrad kämmt, das einen exzentrischen Zapfen besitzt, der zur Längenverstellung in einer Aussparung geführt ist. Ein solcher Getriebeaufbau ermöglicht eine entsprechende Verstellung, ist allerdings ebenfalls vergleichsweise aufwendig in der Herstellung und Montage.The DE 39 30 662 discloses an adjusting device for the front panel of a drawer in which a side-actuable screw meshes with a gear having an eccentric pin, which is guided for length adjustment in a recess. Such a transmission structure allows a corresponding adjustment, but is also relatively expensive to manufacture and assembly.

Schließlich offenbart die US 3041657 einen Möbelbeschlag für Hängetüren, bei dem eine Verstellmöglichkeit in vertikaler Richtung gegeben ist. Dabei ist eine drehbaren Kurvenführung an einem Gehäuse gelagert, mittels der ein an einer Schiene verfahrbarer Halter verstellbar ist. Bei solchen Hängetüren kann nach dem Verstellen die Verstellvorrichtung durch die auftretenden hohen Gewichtskräfte arretiert werden, wobei die Beschlagsteile aufgrund von Festigkeitsanforderungen meist aus Metall bestehen.Finally, the reveals US 3041657 a furniture fitting for hanging doors, in which an adjustment is given in the vertical direction. In this case, a rotatable cam guide is mounted on a housing by means of a movable on a rail holder is adjustable. In such hanging doors after adjustment, the adjustment can be locked by the high weight forces occurring, the fitting parts usually consist of metal due to strength requirements.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen Schubkasten zu schaffen, der einen einfachen Aufbau besitzt und eine Verstellung einer Frontblende relativ zu einer Seitenzarge ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a drawer, which has a simple structure and allows adjustment of a front panel relative to a side frame.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Schubkasten mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a drawer with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zwischen einer an einer Frontblende festlegbaren Führung und einem an einer Seitenzarge festlegbaren Schiene ein drehbares Schneckenrad angeordnet, das bei einer Drehung den Schieber entlang der Führung bewegt. Dadurch kann eine Verstellmöglichkeit für Frontblenden von Schubkästen geschaffen werden, die aus nur wenigen Bauteilen hergestellt ist und sich leicht montieren lässt. Zudem kann diese Frontverstellung in kompakter Bauweise ausgeführt werden und eignet sich auch bei einem Einsatz mit beengten Platzverhältnissen.According to the invention, a rotatable worm wheel is arranged between a guide which can be fixed on a front panel and a rail which can be fixed on a side frame, which wheel moves the slider along the guide during a rotation. As a result, an adjustment for front panels of drawers can be created, which is made of only a few components and can be easily assembled. In addition, this front adjustment can be carried out in a compact design and is also suitable for use in confined spaces.

Für eine exakte Verstellung steht das Schneckenrad mit mindestens einem Vorsprung mit einem Schieber in Eingriff. Vorzugsweise sind gleichzeitig mehrere Vorsprünge mit dem Schneckenrad in Eingriff, so dass eine besonders gute Führung zwischen Schneckenrad und Schieber vorhanden ist.For exact adjustment, the worm wheel is engaged with at least one projection with a slider. Preferably, a plurality of projections at the same time with the worm wheel into engagement, so that a particularly good guidance between the worm wheel and slider is present.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind Schieber und die Führung leistenförmig ausgebildet, und können dadurch durch entsprechende Führungsflächen relativ exakt aneinander geführt sein. Zudem ermöglicht eine leistenförmige Ausbildung eine flache Bauweise, wobei durch eine entsprechende Querschnittsgestaltung ein formschlüssiges Ineinandergreifen möglich ist. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Führung im Querschnitt U-förmig ausgebildet und umgreift den Schieber seitlich.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention slide and the guide are strip-shaped, and can be guided by corresponding guide surfaces relatively exactly together. In addition, a strip-shaped training allows a flat design, with a corresponding cross-sectional design a positive engagement is possible. Preferably, the guide is U-shaped in cross-section and surrounds the slider laterally.

Das Schneckenrad ist vorzugsweise in einer Öffnung an der Führung drehbar gelagert. Das Schneckenrad kann dadurch mit einem kreisförmigen Vorsprung in die Öffnung eingesetzt werden, wobei das Schneckenrad einen spiralförmigen Vorsprung aufweist, der mit mindestens einem Vorsprung an dem Schieber in Eingriff steht. Dadurch kann bei Drehen des Schneckenrades der Vorsprung entsprechend linear bewegt werden. Das Schneckenrad kann dabei in einem Hohlraum zwischen Schieber und Führung angeordnet sein, so dass keine zusätzlichen Halte- oder Lagermittel notwendig sind. Die so gebildete Frontverstellung lässt sich zudem leicht und zerstörungsfrei demontieren.The worm wheel is preferably rotatably mounted in an opening on the guide. The worm wheel can thereby be inserted into the opening with a circular projection, the worm wheel having a helical projection which engages at least one projection on the slider. As a result, when rotating the worm wheel, the projection can be moved linearly accordingly. The worm wheel can be arranged in a cavity between slide and guide, so that no additional holding or storage means are necessary. The front adjustment thus formed can also be dismantled easily and non-destructively.

Vorzugsweise ist die Führung an einer Stirnseite über Befestigungsmittel an der Frontblende festlegbar. Dabei kann die Führung beispielsweise mindestens eine Öffnung oder einen Schlitz aufweisen, an dem eine Schraube festlegbar ist. Zudem ist auch eine andere Befestigung über Klebemittel oder mechanische Befestigungsmittel möglich.Preferably, the guide can be fixed on an end face via fastening means on the front panel. In this case, the guide, for example, have at least one opening or a slot on which a screw can be fixed. In addition, another attachment via adhesives or mechanical fasteners is possible.

Um nach einem Verstellvorgang den Schieber und die Führung aneinander fixieren zu können, sind diese beispielsweise klemmend aneinander festlegbar. Hierfür kann eine Arretierschraube an dem Schieber und/oder der Führung vorgesehen sein. Auch andere Fixierelemente können eingesetzt werden, um eine versehentliche Verstellung von Schieber und Führung zu vermeiden.In order to be able to fix the slider and the guide to each other after an adjustment, these are for example clamped together. For this purpose, a locking screw may be provided on the slider and / or the guide. Other fixation can be used to prevent accidental adjustment of slide and guide.

Erfindungsgemäß wird auch ein Schubkasten mit einer entsprechenden Frontverstellung bereitgestellt. Vorzugsweise ist die Frontverstellung dabei an einem Zargenaufsatz montiert und die Frontblende ist an einem unteren Abschnitt der Seitenzarge verschwenkbar gehalten. Da sich der Zargenaufsatz von der Schubkastenrückwand bis zu der Frontblende erstreckt, kann mittels der Frontverstellung, die eine kleine Abstandsverstellung in Längsrichtung der Seitenzarge ermöglicht, direkt Kraft über den Zargenaufsatz von der Frontblende zur Rückwand weitergeleitet werden. Ferner kann infolge der Längenjustagemöglichkeit die Neigung der Frontblende relativ zum Schubkasten eingestellt werden.The invention also provides a drawer with a corresponding front adjustment. Preferably, the front adjustment is mounted on a Zargenaufsatz and the front panel is pivotally mounted on a lower portion of the side frame. Since the Zargenaufsatz extends from the drawer rear wall to the front panel, by means of the front adjustment, which allows a small distance adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the side frame, directly via the frame attachment from the front panel to the rear wall can be forwarded. Further, due to the length adjustment possibility, the inclination of the front panel relative to the drawer can be adjusted.

Gerade bei höheren Schubkästen ergibt sich oft das Problem, dass die Frontblenden nicht ganz flächenbündig sind, sondern am oberen Rand entweder etwas abstehen oder zu dicht am Korpus anliegen. Zur Korrektur ist eine Neigungsverstellung möglich.Especially with higher drawers, the problem often arises that the front panels are not completely flush, but at the top either either slightly protrude or lie too close to the carcass. To correct a tilt adjustment is possible.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Eine Frontverstellung 1 für einen Schubkasten wird zwischen einer Frontblende 2 und einer Seitenzarge 3 montiert. Die Seitenzarge 3 weist einen unteren Abschnitt 30 und einen Zargenaufsatz 31 auf. Die Frontverstellung 1 ist dabei an dem Zargenaufsatz 31 montiert und sorgt für eine Verstellung in Längsrichtung der Seitenzarge. Dadurch kann die Frontblende 2 verschwenkt werden, wobei in dem Bereich zwischen dem unteren Abschnitt 30 und der Frontblende 2 eine Schwenkachse 32 ausgebildet ist. Der Zargenaufsatz 31 kann dabei als Platte, insbesondere Glasplatte, oder als Relingstange bzw. -profil ausgebildet sein.A front adjustment 1 for a drawer is mounted between a front panel 2 and a side frame 3. The side frame 3 has a lower portion 30 and a frame attachment 31. The front adjustment 1 is mounted on the Zargenaufsatz 31 and provides for an adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the side frame. Thereby, the front panel 2 can be pivoted, wherein in the area between the lower portion 30 and the front panel 2, a pivot axis 32 is formed. The Zargenaufsatz 31 may be formed as a plate, in particular glass plate, or as a rail rod or profile.

Die Frontblende 2 kann im Bereich der Schwenkachse 32 mittels Frontbefestigungsbeschlägen festgelegt sein, die auch Höhen- und Seitenverstellmechanismen, ebenso Tiefenjustagemittel aufweisen können.The front panel 2 can be fixed in the region of the pivot axis 32 by means of front fastening fittings, which can also have height and lateral adjustment mechanisms, as well as depth adjustment means.

Wie in Figur 2 zu sehen ist, umfasst die Frontverstellung 1 einen Schieber 4, der entlang einer Führung 5 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Schieber 4 und Führung 5 sind leistenförmig ausgebildet und können aus Kunststoff und/oder Metall hergestellt sein.As in FIG. 2 can be seen, the front adjustment 1 comprises a slide 4, which is slidably disposed along a guide 5. Slider 4 and guide 5 are strip-shaped and can be made of plastic and / or metal.

Die Führung 5 besitzt in einem Bodenbereich eine kreisförmige Öffnung 14, an der ein Schneckenrad 6 drehbar gelagert ist.The guide 5 has in a bottom region a circular opening 14, on which a worm wheel 6 is rotatably mounted.

Der Schieber 4 wird über eine Schraube 7 fest mit einer Seitenzarge 3 eines Schubkastens verbunden, wobei die Schraube 7 in einer Hülse 8, z.B. aus Kunststoff, geführt ist, die in eine Öffnung 9 der Seitenzarge 3 eingefügt ist. Die Schraube 7 ist mit einem Gewindeabschnitt in eine Gewindebohrung 10 an dem Schieber 4 festgelegt. Auch andere Befestigungsmittel zum Fixieren des Schiebers 4 an der Seitenzarge 3 können vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise kann der Schieber 4 auch mit dem Aufsatz 31 verlebt werden, insbesondere wenn dieser als Glasplatte ausgebildet ist.The slider 4 is fixedly connected via a screw 7 to a side frame 3 of a drawer, the screw 7 being mounted in a sleeve 8, e.g. made of plastic, is guided, which is inserted into an opening 9 of the side frame 3. The screw 7 is fixed with a threaded portion in a threaded bore 10 on the slider 4. Other fastening means for fixing the slider 4 on the side frame 3 can be provided, for example, the slider 4 can be used with the attachment 31, especially if this is designed as a glass plate.

Zur Festlegung der Führung 5 an der Frontblende 2 ist mindestens eine Schraube 11 vorgesehen, die in einen Schlitz bzw. eine Öffnung 13 an der Stirnwand der Führung 5 einfügbar ist. Die Schraube 11 wird mit einem Gewindeabschnitt in eine Bohrung 12 an der Frontblende 2 eingedreht.To fix the guide 5 on the front panel 2, at least one screw 11 is provided, which can be inserted into a slot or an opening 13 on the end wall of the guide 5. The screw 11 is screwed with a threaded portion in a bore 12 on the front panel 2.

Wie in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, besitzt die leistenförmige Führung 5 einen U-förmigen Querschnitt mit Seitenwänden 15, die an ihrem Ende einen nach innen gerichteten Steg 16 aufweisen. Dadurch wird jeweils ein leistenförmiger Vorsprung 17 des Schiebers 4 umgriffen, so dass Schieber 4 und Führung 5 linear in Längsrichtung verschoben werden können.As in FIG. 3 is shown, the strip-shaped guide 5 has a U-shaped cross-section with side walls 15, which have an inwardly directed web 16 at its end. As a result, in each case a strip-shaped projection 17 of the slider 4 is encompassed so that slide 4 and guide 5 can be displaced linearly in the longitudinal direction.

Zum Verstellen der Position des Schiebers 4 relativ zu der Führung 5 sind an dem Schieber 4 auf der zu der Führung 5 gewandten Seite Vorsprünge 19 ausgebildet, die in Eingriff mit einem spiralförmigen Vorsprung 18 des Schneckenrades 6 gebracht werden können. Der spiralförmige Vorsprung 18 ist dabei um die durch die Öffnung 14 gebildete Achse drehbar und gewährleistet, dass die Vorsprünge 19 und damit der Schieber 4 bei einer Drehung des Schneckenrades 6 linear verschoben werden. Der Benutzer muss lediglich mit einem Schraubendreher 20 das Schneckenrad 6 drehen, wobei der leistenförmige Vorsprung 18 auch mit mehreren Vorsprüngen 19 in Eingriff stehen kann.For adjusting the position of the slider 4 relative to the guide 5 projections 19 are formed on the slide 4 on the side facing the guide 5, which can be brought into engagement with a helical projection 18 of the worm wheel 6. The helical projection 18 is rotatable about the axis formed by the opening 14 and ensures that the projections 19 and thus the slider 4 are linearly displaced upon rotation of the worm wheel 6. The user only has to turn the worm wheel 6 with a screwdriver 20, whereby the strip-shaped projection 18 can also engage a plurality of projections 19.

In Figur 4A ist eine Position der Frontverstellung gezeigt, bei der der Schieber 4 vollständig in der Führung 5 aufgenommen ist (maximal eingezogene Position). Die Führung 5 ist über eine Befestigungsschraube 11 an der Frontblende festgelegt und das Schneckenrad 6 ist in eine Position gedreht worden, in der der Schieber 4 eingefahren ist. Um den Schieber 4 und damit die Länge des Aufsatzes 31 der Seitenzarge 3 zu verstellen, wird das Schneckenrad 6 gedreht, bis die in Figur 4B gezeigte ausgefahrene Position erreicht ist. Der leistenförmige Vorsprung 18 des Schneckenrades hat die jeweiligen Vorsprünge 19 in eine Richtung aus der Führung 5 herausgedrückt und somit eine entsprechende Verstellung bewirkt.In FIG. 4A is shown a position of the front adjustment, in which the slider 4 is completely received in the guide 5 (maximum retracted position). The guide 5 is fixed via a fastening screw 11 on the front panel and the worm wheel 6 has been rotated to a position in which the slider 4 is retracted. In order to adjust the slide 4 and thus the length of the attachment 31 of the side frame 3, the worm wheel 6 is rotated until the in FIG. 4B shown extended position is reached. The strip-shaped projection 18 of the worm wheel has pushed out the respective projections 19 in one direction from the guide 5 and thus causes a corresponding adjustment.

In den Figuren 5A bis 5C ist die Montage der Frontverstellung im Detail dargestellt. Zunächst wird der Schieber 4 an der Seitenzarge 3 befestigt, wobei die Schraube 7 noch nicht vollständig festgezogen wird. Auf der anderen Seite wird die Führung 5 über ein oder mehrere Schrauben 11 an der Frontblende 2 fixiert, wobei an der Führung 5 das Schneckenrad 6 eingesetzt wird. Anschließend wird der Schieber 4 in die Führung 5 eingeschoben und zusätzlich das Schneckenrad 6 gedreht, damit der spiralförmige Vorsprung 18 in Eingriff mit einem der Vorsprünge 19 gelangt.In the FIGS. 5A to 5C the assembly of the front adjustment is shown in detail. First, the slider 4 is attached to the side frame 3, wherein the screw 7 is not yet fully tightened. On the other hand, the guide 5 is fixed via one or more screws 11 on the front panel 2, wherein on the guide 5, the worm wheel 6 is used. Subsequently, the slider 4 is inserted into the guide 5 and in addition the worm wheel 6 is rotated so that the spiral projection 18 comes into engagement with one of the projections 19.

In dieser vorfixierten Position kann eine Verstellung der Frontblende 2 relativ zu der Seitenzarge 3 in der oben angegeben Weise erfolgen. Nach der Einstellung kann die Schraube 7 weiter eingedreht werden, um den Schieber 4 relativ zu der Führung 5 zu fixieren. Dabei kann eine Stirnseite der Schrauben 7 auf den Boden der Führung 5 für eine klemmende Festlegung bewegt werden. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, dass die Schraube 7 gegen einen Abschnitt des Schneckenrades 6 bewegt wird. Dadurch sind Schieber 4 und Führung 5 aneinander festgelegt und eine versehentliche Verstellung wird vermieden.In this pre-fixed position, an adjustment of the front panel 2 relative to the side frame 3 in the manner indicated above. After adjustment, the screw 7 can be further screwed to fix the slider 4 relative to the guide 5. In this case, an end face of the screws 7 are moved to the bottom of the guide 5 for a clamping down. Alternatively, it is also possible that the screw 7 is moved against a portion of the worm wheel 6. As a result, slide 4 and guide 5 are fixed to each other and accidental adjustment is avoided.

In Figuren 5A-C erfolgt die Festlegung durch Klemmen der Führung 5 gegen die Platte 31 des Zargenaufsatzes, indem der Schieber 4 durch Anziehen der Schraube die Schenkel der Führung 5 gegen die Platte zieht. In Fig. 5A erkennt man einen kleinen Spalt zwischen der Führung 5 und dem Zargenaufsatz 31, in Fig. 5B ist dieser Spalt weg.In Figures 5A-C the determination is made by clamping the guide 5 against the plate 31 of the Zargenaufsatzes by the slide 4 pulls by tightening the screw, the legs of the guide 5 against the plate. In Fig. 5A can be seen a small gap between the guide 5 and the frame attachment 31, in Fig. 5B this gap is gone.

In den Figuren 6A und 6B ist eine modifizierte Ausführungsform einer Frontverstellung gezeigt, bei der auf der Seite der Führung 5 eine zusätzliche Arretierschraube 21 vorgesehen ist, mittels dem Schieber 4 und Führung 5 aneinander fixiert werden können. Die übrigen Bauteile sind wie bei dem vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispiel ausgebildet und entsprechend mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Arretierschraube 21 ist an einem Gewinde in einer Gewindebohrung der Führung 5 festgelegt und kann über einen Schraubendreher 20 solange eingedreht werden, bis sie auf dem Schieber 4 aufliegt und diesen klemmend festlegt.In the Figures 6A and 6B a modified embodiment of a front adjustment is shown in which on the side of the guide 5, an additional locking screw 21 is provided by means of the slide 4 and guide 5 can be fixed to each other. The other components are formed as in the previous embodiment and provided with the same reference numerals. The locking screw 21 is fixed to a thread in a threaded bore of the guide 5 and can be screwed over a screwdriver 20 until it rests on the slider 4 and this determines by clamping.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Neigung der Frontblende 2 durch die Frontverstellung 1 verstellt. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, die Frontverstellung für eine Höhen- oder Seitenverstellung der Frontblende 2 einzusetzen. Insbesondere ist es natürlich möglich, den Schieber 4 an der Frontblende 2 und die Führung 5 an der Seitenzarge 3 anzubringen. Ferner kann satt der Führung 5 der Schieber 4 eine kreisförmige Öffnung aufweisen, an der ein Schneckenrad 6 drehbar gelagert ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the inclination of the front panel 2 is adjusted by the front adjustment 1. Of course it is also possible to use the front adjustment for a height or lateral adjustment of the front panel 2. In particular, it is of course possible to attach the slider 4 to the front panel 2 and the guide 5 on the side frame 3. Furthermore, the guide 5 of the slides 4 can have a circular opening, on which a worm wheel 6 is rotatably mounted.

Zudem ist es möglich, Schieber 4 und Führung 5 integral mit der Seitenzarge 3 oder der Frontblende 2 auszubilden, beispielsweise wenn die Seitenzarge 3 und/oder die Fronblende 2 aus Kunststoff oder aus gebogenem Metallblech hergestellt sind.In addition, it is possible to form slide 4 and guide 5 integrally with the side frame 3 or the front panel 2, for example, when the side frame 3 and / or the front panel 2 are made of plastic or bent metal sheet.

Das an der Frontblende 2 verstellbar gehaltene Teil, wie der Zargenaufsatz 31, kann in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung auch so gestaltet sein, dass der bei Verstellung entstehende Spalt zwischen Zargenaufsatz 31 und Frontblende 2 verdeckt wird. Dazu kann der Zargenaufsatz 31 auch in eine Nut an der Frontblende 2 eintauchen.The adjustable on the front panel 2 part held, such as the Zargenaufsatz 31, in a further embodiment may also be designed so that the resulting gap between adjustment frame 31 and front panel 2 is covered during adjustment. For this purpose, the frame attachment 31 can also dip into a groove on the front panel 2.

Die Seitenzarge 3 kann statt dem unteren Abschnitt 30 und einen Zargenaufsatz 31 auch einteilig als Seitenwand ausgebildet sein.The side frame 3 may be formed integrally as a side wall instead of the lower portion 30 and a Zargenaufsatz 31.
