The individual supporting column is connected with a lower drawer frame profile. A furniture front (3) is supported at the individual supporting column. The lower drawer frame profile is formed automatically adjustable to vertical position with respect to its position in the lower cupboard body guide (6) depending on the inclination of the supporting column.

Description

The invention relates to a cabinet drawer, in particular a high cabinet drawer, with a arranged in an interior of a cabinet body, moving extension frame with a substantially vertically oriented support column which is connected to a lower frame frame, which is guided in the course of cabinet removal movement in a cabinet body guide and movable at the at least one tray or the like. Cabinet furnishings can be supported.

Conventional cabinet drawer have a substantially rectangular frame forming extension frame with two spaced apart vertical columns, wherein on the front vertical column to secure a furniture front and the rear vertical support column is provided with such a distance to the front support column, so that the depth of a cabinet for on the vertical columns to be fastened trays or the like. Cabinet items is available. In their foot areas and their head areas, the vertical support columns are interconnected by cross beams, which are guided in the upper and lower cabinet body guides. This rollers can be used, but also telescopic elements. For attaching trays, for example, hooks are provided at intervals to each other on the vertical support columns.

The disadvantage is that for holding the shelves or the like. Cabinet furniture items are each provided two vertical support columns. In addition, the rear vertical column affects the maximum possible utilization of a cabinet depth. The upper cross bar, which connects the vertical column with each other and provides for the upper guide of the extension frame, hinders beyond the useable room height of a cabinet and also affects the overall visual impression of the cabinet drawer.

From the DE 197 65 066 C2 is a cabinet drawer for tall cabinets of the aforementioned type, in which a vertical single column supports trays. To attach the trays to the vertical single column mounting rods are provided which are to be inserted into corresponding holes in the vertical single column, after which the mounting rods pass through the single vertical column and protrude on both sides for the purpose of supporting the trays out of this. This type of attachment of the trays on the vertical single column is relatively expensive and requires an accurate insertion of the mounting rods in the hole recesses. In addition, the hole recesses pierce the vertical single column, so that their capacity limits are set. In addition, shelves can only be provided according to the grid dimension of the hole recesses on the vertical column. A disadvantage, moreover, is that the vertical recess column is not only weakened by the hole recesses in total stress. Rather, such a vertical single-column tends, despite its advantages, to be able to use the shelves optimal depth of the cabinet, to tend under weight loads. If such a vertical column still carries a furniture front, this generally leads to that when closing the cabinet drawer, the upper part of the furniture front to the cabinet body leaning and thus limits the cabinet drawer closing movement, although the lower portion of the furniture front is not yet applied to the cabinet body, resulting in an ugly gap formation due to the not completely closed cabinet drawer.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a cabinet drawer of the type mentioned that even with the provision of only a vertical column with loaded shelves or the like. Furnishings the cabinet drawer is close.

To solve this problem, the cabinet drawer of the type mentioned is characterized by the fact that the vertical support column on the support column a furniture front or the like. Can be supported and the lower extension frame profile with respect to its position in the lower cabinet body guide depending on the inclination of the support column to the vertical is automatically adjustable in position.

For a cabinet drawer is created in which even with loaded trays or the like. Cupboard furniture even with a slightly under this weight load, but otherwise substantially vertically aligned Einzelvertikalsäule a closing movement with the adapt to the support column furniture front or the like. Without a lower gap safely accomplish by this gap can be compensated automatically by the positional adjustment of the extension frame profile depending on the inclination of the support column. Thus is ensures that an upper and a lower portion of the furniture front during the closing process on the front edges of a cabinet body come to rest, although the individual vertical support column is not 100% vertically aligned overall due to the corresponding weight loads.

Preferably, for the automatic position adjustment of the substantially vertically oriented single support column, a resilient element is provided, which exerts a reaction force on the lower portion of the support column to counteract the weight of a reaction force such aligned and aligned with the cabinet body during the closing movement compensate for any inclination of the single support column due to a weight load to the cabinet body inside out by compliance of the elastic element. For this purpose, as an elastic element, e.g. a leaf spring or a coil spring may be provided, but also a rubber element or the like. Elastic element, which are capable of a compliance and thus to an automatic positional adjustment. It is preferably provided that the extension frame profile is placed within the cabinet body guide in an inclined position to perform the appropriate positional adjustment.

Preferred dimensions, the trays or the like. Cabinet objects are vertically adjustable supported on the support column and locked via a connection connector in different height positions on the support column. This allows the user to individually customize the appropriate shelves for the storage requirements required. The shelves are to the cabinet body interior aligned and supported on the front vertical single support column, which in turn also carries the furniture front. For this purpose, the support column may be provided with a slot-shaped guide, in which the tray or the like. Barrier device object engages with the connection connector. As a result, the tray or the cabinet unit object is to be locked or clamped by the connection connector with the support column, in order to fix the tray exactly in position in a final assembly position. Special fasteners that are introduced, for example, as in the prior art in special hole recesses are thus unnecessary and thus can no longer weaken the support column in the areas where the corresponding weight moments are to take. Rather, the tray can be attached directly to the support column by means of the connection connector via a clamping, clamping or latching part.

Thus, a cabinet drawer is provided in which the cabinet item is locked by the terminal connector to the support column, e.g. is clamped so as to determine the tray exactly in a final assembly position. Special fasteners, which are to be introduced, for example, as in the prior art in particular hole recesses are therefore unnecessary. Rather, the tray can be attached directly to the support column by means of the connection connector via a clamping, clamping or latching part.

Particularly preferred is a cabinet drawer, which has a single support column, wherein the single support column has a guide in turn, in which the tray slidably is guided. The shelf can be fixed in height to the single support column via the connection connector by, for example, clamping at any point. For this purpose, the connection connector may be formed as a clamping part or have a corresponding clamping or clamping part, for example, equipped with a lever eccentric. A clamping part, which is braced, for example, to undercuts of a slot-guiding guide in the single support column, can be solved by loosening the clamping element. Thereafter, a tray or the like can be moved along the guide. If the tray is brought to the desired location, the connection connector, for example by means of the eccentric lever, can be clamped to the single support column, after which the tray is held immovably and securely on the single support column. Thus, in a very simple manner and without tools from the end user, the tray or the like furnishings in height desired by him be attached to the single support column.

A guide can be designed so that heavy-duty shelves and the like engage in the support column. Particularly preferred is when interlocking parts, such as those of the slot guide and those of the connection connector are designed such that the tray so suspended from the single support column that it is supported under its own weight in a pre-assembly of the support column, if it is not easily raised , After gently lifting it can be moved up and down along the guide.

The single support column is preferably arranged in the front region of the cabinet drawer, so that the guide has in the single support column to the cabinet body interior or to the rear wall of the cabinet body. This can be mounted without the provision of a rear vertical support pillars and the like cabinet furnishings, so that even from the cabinet depth of the cabinet space is optimally utilized. At the front of the single support column, a furniture front can be attached, so that the drawer, together with the furniture front, e.g. translatorisch can be pulled out of the cabinet. The single support column is guided in cabinet carcass guides, it being preferred that an upper cabinet carcass guide relative to the cabinet height is offset so far down a provided on the support column connection that the cabinet drawer in its storage position within the cabinet body designed free of extension rack parts upper rack space Has. This not only has a positive effect on the appearance of the cabinet drawer, but also creates a sufficient unimpaired upper control room.

Generally with 1, a cabinet body is numbered in the embodiments shown, in which the cabinet extract, generally numbered 2, is arranged. In Fig. 1 the cabinet drawer 2 is shown in an extended position. In its storage position the extract is located in the cabinet body interior, according to which in the embodiment Fig. 1 the cabinet body 1 by the furniture front 3, which is held on the vertical front single support column 4, is closed. This vertical single support column 4 of the cabinet drawer 2 is in the embodiment according to Fig. 3 located in the rear (rear) portion of the cabinet drawer 2, wherein the cabinet body is closed, for example, by swing doors, in the embodiment according to Fig. 3 the sake of clarity are not shown.

The extension frame 2 comprises the already mentioned vertical single support column 4, to which a lower transverse bar 5 (extension frame profile) engages, which is movably guided in a lower cabinet body guide 6. The parts 5 and 6 together with the telescopic element 6.1 a total of a lower telescopic extension.

In the upper region of the vertical support column 4, a connection 7 is provided for the cabinet body guide 8, which also has a telescopic element 8.1, so that in the upper area also a telescopic extension is formed. The upper cabinet body guide 8 is formed on an intermediate floor, which extends to the side walls 1.1 and to the rear wall 1.2. On the vertical single support column 4, a connection 7 is provided such that an upper crossbar and thus an upper head region 1.3 of the cabinet body 1 to be provided upper cabinet body guide is noticeable, so that this terminal 7 is provided with such Höhenabstandsmaß to the inner head portion 1.3 of the cabinet body 1 in that in the storage position of the cabinet drawer 2 a parking space or storage space 10 remains without affecting this cabinet drawer parts. This creates a cabinet drawer that also pleases the overall visual impression.

In the embodiments shown, shelves 9 are provided as cabinet furnishings. For this purpose, the vertical single support column 4 has a slot guide 11 with undercuts 11.1 in which a connection connector 13 of a tray can intervene.

The slot 11 thus forms a guide on the single support column 4, in which the tray or other furnishing can be slidably guided, so that without having to dismantle the tray, the user can adjust a tray on the single support column 4 itself. By a suitable design of the connector this can be done without tools.

How closer Fig. 6 to 8 shows, in the tray a recess is provided, which is bounded by an upstanding collar 14. As in the insertion position in Fig. 7 shown, the collar 14 surrounds the vertical support column 4, wherein the abutment 15 in its vertical position ( Fig. 6 ) can be inserted into the opening of the slot 11 and after twisting ( Fig. 7 ) is in a horizontal position. By means of the eccentric tensioning means 16 it can then be braced with the undercuts 11.1, after which the tray 9 is clamped to the single support column ( Fig. 8 ).

In the embodiment shown in the Fig. 1 and 2 the vertical support column has a lower vertical extent than the interior of the cabinet body 1 in total and carries as upper end the upper shelf 9, which is formed in the embodiment shown there as Führungsstablar by a connection 7 for the upper cabinet body guide 8 is attached to its underside. This guide is therefore less disturbing for the overall visual impression of the Aiszuggestells 2 than prior art designs of cabinet extensions, yet ensures a movement free movement of the cabinet drawer altogether. In otherwise substantially identical structure is in the illustrated embodiment according to Fig. 3 provided the vertical support column 4 of the extension frame 2 in the rear (rear) area. As well as in the embodiment of the Fig. 1 and 2 It is possible to form the vertical single support column 4 L-shaped and thus one-piece.

As in the embodiments of the Fig. 1 and 2 the upper portions of the extension frame are formed free of cabinet body guides, and the termination 7 is laid in an area having such a height dimension to the inner head portion of the cabinet body 1 as to leave a storage space 10 which is no longer affected by extension frame parts or cabinet body guide portions is. Again, the upper tray 9 forms a Führungsstablar again. In this embodiment eliminates a front furniture front. Rather, the cabinet body can be closed by swing doors, blind elements and the like. It is also possible that the extract 2 is not alone performs translational movements, but also a pivoting movement or a translational movement combined with a feeding movement.

How closer Fig. 5 It can be seen that the single support column 4 forming profile may be formed in two parts with a slot 11 opposite recess 16, in which a furniture front is to bring with their fastening parts. By introducing the second part 17 special strength properties in individual cases can be taken into account, for example, by a different choice of material or by different wall thicknesses. In addition, as in Fig. 5 indicated, even a frictional engagement element 18 are introduced, for example, to hold the tray 9 in a no longer shifted but not yet strained position due to its own weight in the slot guide 11.

The side walls 4.1 are in the embodiment according to Fig. 5 slightly oblique to the recess 16 is designed to widen, which also serves to keep the tray with his collar after a shift safely on the single support column 4.

As in the FIGS. 9 and 10 indicated, a bus bar 18 may be provided within the slot guide 11, to which also gleichverschieblich electrical conductors 19 are to be applied, for example, to provide light bulbs 20 which are mounted on the underside of a tray with power.

In Fig. 11 a cabinet body 1 with the cabinet drawer 2 a vertical single support column 4 and shelves 9 is shown with the extension frame profile (cross bar) 5 and the lower cabinet body guide 6, in which the vertical support column and thus the front panel 3 due to the weight load of the trays 9 a slight inclination to the vertical have taken so that would result in a gap F without a position adjustment.

How closer Fig. 12 As can be seen, this gap dimension S in the lower region of the front panel 3 is compensated by an automatic positional adjustment by compensating there for a positional adjustment dimension M by means of the force element 21 designed as a spring element. Thus, the lower and upper portions of the front panel 3 are equal to the cabinet body 1, in which the extension frame profile 5 has taken a likewise inclined position to the horizontal by the elastic member 21.

As in detail still close Fig. 13 shows, the vertical single support column 4 is provided with a connection profile 5.1, which is hineinsteckbar in the extension frame profile 5 and together with this out of the guide 6. Below the vertical support column 4, the resilient element is mounted on the connection profile 5.1, which is arranged in the guide 6. About a locking element 5.2, the connection profile 5.1 is connected to the extension frame profile 5. In this case, the locking element 5.2 is provided such that at this the connection profile is brought to the position adjustment in relative positions by there is a pivot or pivot point is formed. When weight is the spring element 21 according to, wherein the front region, that is, the region which is aligned to the vertical support column 4, resiliently held in the guide 6, wherein in the front region, in the region facing away from the support column 4, the front end 5.1 in the Extension frame profile 5 lifts what the locking profile 5.2. allows. If the vertical single support column 4 is not loaded as high, it is held by the resilient element 21 due to the prevailing reaction forces in its vertical position.
