Furthermore, the invention relates to a drawer with at least one such fastening device for releasably securing a front panel to the drawer and further a piece of furniture with such a drawer or such drawers.

Fasteners for releasably securing the bezel to the drawer are already known in the art. A goal here is usually to achieve, inter alia, a quick installation of the front panel to the drawer to keep both the assembly times and installation costs low. State of the art documents are, for example. DE 10 2007 053 637 . WO 2010/115346 . EP 0 702 915 ,

So shows about the WO 2009/006651 from January 15, 2009, a drawer side wall with a fastening device for releasably and preferably adjustable attaching a front panel to the drawer side wall, wherein a furniture fitting is pre-mounted on the front panel and wherein a spring-loaded catch element is arranged in the drawer side wall, which automatically when inserting the furniture fitting to the drawer side wall pulls, with a locking device is provided for the catch element, wherein the locking device is designed as a clamping device.

The EP 0 740 917 B1 of 25 November 1998 shows a device for attaching the front panel of a drawer to preferably double-walled drawer side walls, with a fixed to the front panel and protruding from this furniture fitting and a drawer side wall associated support member which carries a movable locking part and with this entirely behind the front end edge of the drawer side wall, wherein the locking part, which couples the furniture fitting with the support member, is acted upon by a spring, wherein the locking part is designed as a horizontal axis rotatable rocker arm, which automatically engages when inserting the furniture fitting and the spring action in this and the furniture fitting pulls the support member, and that the rocker arm od a lateral receptacle for a screwdriver. Like., With which he, against the spring action, is rotatable from the locked position, wherein he releases the furniture fitting.

The DE 20 2009 014 811 U1 of March 25, 2010 discloses a furniture fitting for releasably connecting a first furniture part with a second furniture part, with a receiving element and at least two fastening elements, wherein the receiving element the first furniture part and the at least two fasteners are associated with the second furniture part, or vice versa, and wherein the Receiving element has a locking device for releasably holding the at least two fastening elements, wherein the at least two fastening elements are locked together in the receiving element, wherein the locking device of the receiving element has at least two by a force accumulator, preferably a spring, acted upon or acted upon locking elements which can be locked with the fasteners ,

The object of the invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art improved fastening device for releasably securing a front panel to the drawer.

This object is achieved by a fastening device with the features of claim 1.

By moving in a guideway adjusting body, which bears against the control contour of the catch element, this movable actuating body can automatically move - for example by gravity - in the guideway and slide along the control contour when inserting the furniture fitting, whereby a lock can be achieved as a opposite movement of furniture fitting (ie pulling out) over causes the catch element, that the movable actuating body jammed between the guideway and control contour.

However, the furniture fitting can be pushed even after the jam even further into the fixture, which means the deadlock occurs only in one direction. The further insertion of the furniture fitting is still possible, but not pulling out, since the movable adjusting body would jam with the setting contour of the catch element in the attempted pulling out.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the catching element is mounted so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation. By pivoting about an axis of rotation of the catch element, the catch element can follow the furniture fitting during insertion.

According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the setting contour of the catch element has different radial distances from the axis of rotation of the catch element. Due to the formation of different radial distances of the control contour to the axis of rotation of the catch element locking of the furniture fitting can be achieved only in the extension direction of the furniture fitting and not in the insertion direction of the furniture fitting.

Furthermore, it can preferably be provided that the adjusting body is displaceably mounted in the - preferably curved - guideway forcibly guided.

To be particularly advantageous, it has been found that the adjusting body is designed as a loose pressure roller and / or in one piece and / or substantially bolt-shaped and / or steel. Especially by the formation of the actuating body as a loose pressure roller, this can be moved in a simple manner in the guideway, even this itself - since it is designed to be loose - move automatically in the guideway. The training of steel can cause a particularly preferred strength of the actuating body. The one-piece and bolt-shaped design may be preferable to manufacture.

Particularly preferably, it can be provided that the guideway at least partially has a curved course with a - preferably continuously - narrowing radius. By a curved course of the guideway can be positively influenced on the insertion and on the ejection behavior of the fastening device in interaction with the furniture fitting.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the fastening device has a feed path for the furniture fitting, wherein the feed path has a substantially straight course, the locking device automatically holds the furniture fitting against accidental loosening at at least two different positions on the feed path. By forming a feed path with a substantially straight course of the furniture fitting can be relatively easily placed on this feed track and moved thereon, which can contribute to a preferable operation. Furthermore, the furniture fitting can linger on this feed track on the one hand in the pull-out in a first position locked and on the other hand, it can also be pushed further and stay locked in a second position.

According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the locking device holds the furniture fitting at least partially on any positions of the feed path against unintentional release. Thus, the furniture fitting can thus be locked in the fastening device - regardless of the insertion depth of the furniture fitting in the fastening device.

As advantageous, it has further been found that the fastening device has a retraction device for furniture fitting, wherein the retraction device has a spring loaded by a pivot lever which moves the movable actuator in the guideway, pivots the catch element and the furniture fitting spring loaded pulls to the drawer. By forming a spring-loaded pivot lever, which shifts the movable actuating body in the guideway, an automatic retraction of the furniture fitting to the drawer can be achieved.

It has proven to be advantageous if the fastening device has an unlocking device for the safety gear, which allows an intentional release of the furniture fitting from the safety gear, wherein the unlocking device lifts the actuator from the setting contour of Fangelements and thereby releases the catch element and the furniture fitting. Due to the formation of an unlocking device, the furniture fitting can be unlocked again from the fastening device and subsequently removed from this fastening device.

Preferably, it can further be provided that the unlocking device has an ejector, which allows the ejection of the unlocked furniture fitting, wherein the ejector pivots the unlocked catch element and thereby repels the furniture fitting of the drawer. By forming an ejector in the unlocking can be achieved that the furniture fitting does not have to be pulled out of the fastening device but that the outward movement of the furniture fitting can be done by the ejector of the unlocking active.

According to a possible embodiment it can be provided that the unlocking device has an externally accessible tool holder for a tool, via which the unlocking device and / or the ejector can be actuated. By forming an externally accessible tool holder, the unlocking device can be operated in a simple manner.

According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the fastening device has a height adjustment device and / or a side adjustment device for the front panel. By forming a height adjustment device for the fastening device, the front panel can be adjusted in height relative to the drawer, through the formation of a Seitenverstelleinrichtung for the front panel, the front panel can be aligned laterally relative to the drawer.

Protection is also desired for a drawer having at least one fastening device for releasably securing a front panel to the drawer according to at least one of the described embodiments.

Specifically, protection is sought for a piece of furniture with a described drawer.

FIG. 4 shows an exploded perspective view of the fastening device 1 for the furniture fitting 2 in a side rear view. As the housing for the fastening device 1, the right side cover 71 and the left side cover 72 serve. Between these two side covers 71 and 72, the base plate 73 is arranged, on which the essential components of the fastening device 1 are arranged. This base plate 73 is adjustable in height by the height adjustment screw 51 relative to the left and right side covers 71 and 72.

The base plate 73 in this case has a guideway 3, in which the adjusting body 4 - which is formed in this preferred embodiment as a loose pressure roller 5 - is slidably mounted. Furthermore, the base plate 73, the feed path 6 for the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2. Along this feed track 6, the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2 is inserted into the fastening device 1.

For stability reasons, the essential components for the function - the catch element 11 and the pivot lever 31 - each carried out in duplicate, each one of the parts left and right of the base plate 73 is formed.

The catch elements 11 and 11 'are formed along the axis of rotation A left and right of the base plate 73. The pivot levers 31 and 31 'are respectively formed on the left and right along the rotation axis B on the base plate 73.

The catch element 11 or 11 'in each case has a receptacle 13 for the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2. Also, the adjusting contour 12 is formed on both catching elements 11 and 11 'in this preferred embodiment.

On the catch element 11, the unlocking lever 14 is further formed, which serves for unlocking or for ejecting the furniture fitting 2.

On the pivot levers 31 and 31 ', the guide 33 is formed, which is formed in this embodiment as a slot. The pivot lever 31 further has the ejector 41, which accomplishes the ejection of the furniture fitting 2 together with the Entriegelhebel 14 of the catch element 11. The pivot lever 31 or 31 'is actuated via the unlocking element 43, which has a tool holder 42.

About the spring 32 and the thrust element 34, the two pivot levers 31 and 31 'spring-loaded, which is necessary for the collection process of the furniture fitting 2 (see figure description of FIG. 7 ).

About the Seiteneinstellschraube 61, the fastening device 1 can be adjusted laterally.

In the FIGS. 5a to 9c in each case a section through a side view of a fastening device 1 and a furniture fitting 2 is shown in different situations. These situations reflect the insertion of the furniture fitting 2 into the fastening device 1 (FIG. FIGS. 5a to 5c ), the locking of the furniture fitting 2 in the fastening device 1 ( FIG. 6 ), the retraction of the furniture fitting 2 in the fastening device 1 ( FIG. 7 ), unlocking the furniture fitting 2 in the fastening device 1 ( FIG. 8 ) and the ejection of the furniture fitting 2 from the fastening device 1 ( FIGS. 9a to 9c )again.

For reasons of clarity, not all components of the fastening device 1 are always provided with reference numerals in the individual figure representations 5a to 9c. However, the relevant components for the respective step and their reference numerals are given.

FIG. 5a shows the furniture fitting 2 and its pin 7, as he is not yet connected to the fastening device 1. The catch element 11 "waits" with its receptacle 13 on the feed track 6 on the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2. The adjusting body 4 and the pressure roller 5 is not or not at the control contour 12 of the catch element 11 at.

FIG. 5b describes the same situation as in the FIG. 5a , only now was the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2 used in the feed path 6, a rotation of the catch element 11 has not yet taken place. For this reason, the pressure roller 5 has not yet moved.

FIG. 5c shows the fastening device 1, in which the furniture fitting 2 and its pin 7 has already been inserted. This insertion took place along the feed track 6. In this case, the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2 has penetrated into the receptacle 13 of the catch element 11. The catch element 11 is mounted pivotably about its axis of rotation A, the insertion of the pin 7 thus resulted in a rotation of the catching element 11 about the rotation axis A. The catching element 11 in this preferred embodiment, the setting contour 12 is formed or attached. This adjusting contour 12 of the catching element 11 has different radial distances from the axis of rotation A of the catching element 11. The actuator 4, which is formed in this preferred embodiment as a pressure roller 5, is already at this moment on the control contour 12. At this moment, a pulling out of the furniture fitting 2 from the fastening device 1 would still be possible because the actuator body 4 has not yet jammed with the control contour 12. He can still dodge in the guideway 3 "upwards", it should come to a rotation of the Fangelements 11 about the axis of rotation A clockwise.

A locking of the catch element 11 and thus the furniture fitting 2 takes place only in a situation like in the FIG. 6 shown instead. The furniture fitting 2 or its pin 7 has now been inserted so far in the feed path 6 in the fastening device 1, that the locking device 20 has been activated. This was achieved by jamming the pressure roller 5 together with the control contour 12. If one were to try to extract the furniture fitting 2 from the fastening device 1 and thus to pivot the catch element 11 in a clockwise direction about the axis of rotation A, a clamping of the pressure roller 5 would take place in the guideway 3 by the control contour 12. Pulling out the furniture fitting 2 is thus prevented.

On the other hand, it is still very possible to move the catch element 11 counterclockwise about the axis of rotation A, which would lead to a further lowering of the actuator 4 in the preferably curved guideway 3. In this regard, it should be noted that for the locking device 20, the pivot lever 31 and its guide 33 are not necessary. The locking of the catching element 11 takes place solely and solely by the setting contour 12, the guide track 3 and the adjusting body 4. This is possible because the adjusting body 4 would follow solely due to the gravity of the guide track 3 and the setting contour 12.

Here is also a major advantage of this locking device 20 can be seen. The locking of the furniture fitting 2 is namely carried out on the guide track 6 at any point in the insertion direction, i. that regardless of the insertion depth of the furniture fitting 2 in the fastening device 1 is a lock. Even after locking is a further insertion of the furniture fitting 2 in the fastening device 1 is possible, i. the locking takes place only in the pull-out direction, but not in the direction of insertion. Thus, different insertion depths can be achieved, whereby tolerances in the production with respect to the furniture fitting 2 and the drawer 102 (not shown) can be corrected.

In this preferred embodiment, the adjusting body 4 is formed as a loose pressure roller 5 both in one piece and substantially bolt-shaped and made of steel.

The guideway 3 has at least partially a curved course with a - preferably continuous - narrowing radius.

In the FIG. 7 is now shown how the collection device 30 is active. After insertion of the furniture fitting 2 in the safety gear 10 and the catch element 11 and the displacement on the feed path 6 it comes in the in the FIG. 6 shown torque to the fact that the spring 32 is no longer in dead center position with the axis of rotation B of the pivot lever 31 and thus this pivot lever 31 - FIG. 7 shown - pivoted counterclockwise about the axis of rotation B.

This results in that the pressure roller 5 and the actuator 4 in the guide 33-which is designed as a slot - the pivot lever 31 down - along the guide track 3 - is pressed. This downward pressure causes the Actuator 4 in its guide track 3 spring loaded moves down and thereby - due to the formation of the control contour 12 on the catch element 11 - the catch member 11 is also pivoted about its axis of rotation A counterclockwise. As a result, the furniture fitting 2 is pulled further into the fastening device 1 by this roller control contour drive.

The intake behavior can thus be controlled - by appropriate design of the control contour (slow or fast retraction, accelerated or decelerated retraction).

Also in this position, the locking device 20 is again or still active because the actuator body 4 is still applied to the control contour 12 and would jam with this, it should be tried to pivot the catch member 11 in a clockwise direction.

To unlock the fastening device 1 again, the unlocking device 40 is provided, whose function is now based on the FIG. 8 is described. About the Entriegelelement 43 - which is formed on the pivot lever 31 - the unlocking can be made manually. A rotation of the pivot lever 31 in a clockwise direction causes the actuator 4 in the guide 33 is lifted from the control contour 12 and thus from the catch element 11, whereby the catch element 11 is no longer blocked.

Already at this moment, the furniture fitting 2 could be pulled out of the fastening device 1. To make the ejection but more user-friendly, an ejector 41 is formed on the pivot lever 31, which - as already seen in this illustration - presses on the Entriegelhebel 14 of the catch element 11 and thus turning the pivot lever 31 in a clockwise direction to a rotation of the catch element eleventh in the clockwise direction, whereby the furniture fitting 2 is ejected from the fastening device 1, as in FIG. 9a is shown. It can be clearly seen that the adjusting body 4 is still lifted from the setting contour 12 of the catch element 11 and the furniture fitting 2 has already distanced a piece of the fastening device 1, which was carried out by the displacement of the Entriegelhebels 14 by the ejector 41.

If the operator at this moment omit the unlocking element 43, it would come to a renewed retraction of the furniture fitting 2 - as the in FIG. 7 is shown.

If, on the other hand, the operator continues to turn clockwise on the unlocking element 43, then it is as in FIG. 9b shown - to a perfect ejection of the pin 7 of the furniture fitting 2 on the feed path. 6

In this position, the operator can omit the unlocking element 43 again, since the spring 32 with its thrust element 34 is in a dead center position relative to the axis of rotation B of the pivot lever 31 and thus the actuating body 4 and the control contour 12 are no longer spring-loaded together.

Thus, the furniture fitting 2 - as in FIG. 9c shown - are removed from the fastening device 1.

FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of a fastening device 1 with a furniture fitting 2 and the pin 7 locked in the fastening device. 1

The fastening device 1 in turn has the aforementioned height adjustment device 50 and the lateral adjustment device 60. The pivot lever 31 in turn has the tool holder 42 for unlocking the fastening device 1.

In this variant, the control contour 12 is formed on the pivot lever 31 and not on the catch element 11 as in the preceding embodiment. The control contour 12, however, also acts together again with the control element 4, which is formed on the catch element 11 in this embodiment.

This therefore represents the kinematic reversal of the preceding exemplary embodiment. The same applies to what was mentioned in the preceding description of the figures.
