Description

Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte wie beispielsweise Wäschetrockner, Waschmaschine, Geschirrspülmaschine oder dergleichen.Housing for household appliances such as tumble dryer, washing machine, dishwasher or the like.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte wie beispielsweise Wäschetrockner, Waschmaschine, Geschirrspülmaschine oder dergleichen, welches in seiner Grundbauform ein Bodenmodul eine Rückwand, Seitenwände und eine Vorderwand umfasst.The invention relates to a housing for household appliances such as dryers, washing machines, dishwashers or the like, which in its basic design, a floor module comprises a rear wall, side walls and a front wall.

So sind aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß der DE 103 03 131 , der DE 198 23 424 sowie aus der DE 38 13 462 Waschmaschinengehäuse bzw. Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte bekannt. Bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Gehäusen gibt es unterschiedliche Gehäusebauformen für die jeweilige Oberfläche oder Montageart, was eine frühe Variantenbildung beim Gehäuseaufbau erfordert.Thus, from the prior art according to the DE 103 03 131 , of the DE 198 23 424 as well as from the DE 38 13 462 Washing machine housing or housing for household appliances known. In these known from the prior art housings, there are different housing designs for each surface or mounting style, which requires an early variant formation in the housing structure.

Aus der EP 0 050066 B1 ist ein rahmenlos aufgebautes Gehäuse für eine Waschmaschine mit einem Bodenblech, einer Rückwand, Seitenwänden und einer Vorderwand bekannt. Die Vorderwand ist zur Ausrichtung in der Höhe gegenüber den Seitenwänden mittels in Schlüssellochstanzungen eingreifenden Stiften an den Seitenwänden unter Einbindung von Halteelementen festlegbar.From the EP 0 050066 B1 is a frameless constructed housing for a washing machine with a bottom plate, a rear wall, side walls and a front wall known. The front wall can be fixed to the side walls by means of keyhole punching pins on the sidewalls with the help of retaining elements for alignment in height.

Bei dem aus der DE 37 22 301 A1 bekannten Stand der Technik ist ein rahmenlos aufgebautes Gehäuse einer Waschmaschine mit einem Bodenmodul, einer Rückwand, Seitenwänden sowie einer Vorderwand gezeigt, bei dem die Vorderwandwand über Halteelemente an den Seitenwänden festgelegt ist.In the from the DE 37 22 301 A1 known prior art, a frameless constructed housing of a washing machine with a bottom module, a rear wall, side walls and a front wall is shown, in which the front wall is fixed by means of holding elements on the side walls.

Die DE 603 13 461 T2 zeigt ein rahmenlos aufgebautes Gehäuse mit Bodenplatte, Seitenwänden, Rückwand und Vorderwand, bei dem die Vorderwand gegenüber den Seitenwänden mittels formschlüssig mit Bereichen der Seitenwände verbundenen Elementen unter Einbindung eines Haltelements an den Seitenwänden festlegbar ist.The DE 603 13 461 T2 shows a frameless constructed housing with bottom plate, side walls, rear wall and front wall, in which the front wall relative to the side walls by means positively connected to areas of the side walls elements with the inclusion of a retaining element on the side walls can be fixed.

Bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Gehäusebauformen ergibt sich der Nachteil, dass die von außen auf das Gerät wirkenden Lasten nicht passend verteilt werden. Die von außen sichtbaren Spaltbilder sind hierbei nicht möglichst eng und gleichmäßig ausgebildet. Zudem gestalten sich die vorgeschlagenen Gehäuseformen montageunfreundlich.In these known from the prior art housing designs, there is the disadvantage that the forces acting from the outside on the device loads are not properly distributed. The visible from the outside slit images are not as narrow and uniform. In addition, the proposed housing shapes make mounting unfriendly.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, eine Waschmaschine oder einen Geschirrspüler derart weiterzubilden, welches eine Höhenposition der Seitenwände gewährleistet, bei genauer Gesamtbreite des Gerätes trotz größerer Vorderwand, wobei Toleranzen gewährleistet werden sollen, die eine einfache Montage der Seitenwände gewährleisten und wobei seitlich wirkende Lasten aufgenommen werden sollen und ins Gerät weiter geleitet werden, wobei die von außen sichtbaren Spaltbilder möglichst eng und gleichmäßig ausgebildet sein sollen.The invention thus raises the problem, a housing for household appliances, such as a tumble dryer, a washing machine or a dishwasher in such a way that ensures a height position of the side walls, at more accurate Overall width of the device despite larger front wall, with tolerances to be ensured, which ensure easy installation of the side walls and laterally acting loads to be absorbed and forwarded to the device, the visible from the outside slit images should be designed as narrow and uniform.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen nun darin, dass die exakte Höhenposition der Seitenwände wichtig für die Spaltbildung und somit für die Spritzwasser/Elektrosicherheit des Gerätes erzielt wird. Die Seitenwände sind vorne an Anbindungselementen an der Vorderwand eingehängt, so dass die Breite der Vorderwand quasi die Gesamtbreite des Gerätes bestimmt. Mit den einstellbaren Exzentern kann die Gerätebreite trotz maßlich ungenauer Vorderwand im gewissen Umfang eingestellt werden. Dabei sind die Seitenwände einfach zu montieren bzw. zu demontieren.The advantages achieved by the invention now consist in that the exact height position of the side walls is important for the formation of gaps and thus for the splash water / electrical safety of the device is achieved. The side walls are hung at the front of the connection elements on the front wall, so that the width of the front wall virtually determines the overall width of the device. With the adjustable eccentrics, the device width can be adjusted to some extent despite dimensionally inaccurate front wall. The side walls are easy to assemble or disassemble.

Nach einer erfindungsgemäßen ersten Lösung werden zur Aufhängung der Seitenwand an der Vorderwand diese an der Vorderwand seitlich links und rechts vorgesehenen Bauteile hier einstellbare Exzenter angebracht. Von außen wirkende Lasten auf die Seitenwand werden über diese Exzenter im vorderen Bereich des Gerätes auf die Bodengruppe/Vorderwand und somit auf das Gesamtgerät übertragen. Bei einem Lastfall, dass sich beispielsweise eine Person auf den Maschinendeckel stellt, geht die Kraft über den Deckel auf die Seitenwand und so auf die Vorderwand und auf das Bodenmodul in die Standfüße des Gerätes. Die Exzenter dienen auch zur Justierung der Seitenwand in der Gesamtbreite, hier der Y-Ausrichtung des Gerätes, und in der Höhe zur Vorderwand, z. B. der Z-Ausrichtung. Damit werden Einzelteiltoleranzen der Vorderwand abgefangen und führen zu einem sauberen Spaltbild des Gesamtgerätes. Es werden für die vier Einbaupositionen an der Vorderwand zweimal an linker Kante und zweimal an rechter Kante jeweils ein linker und ein rechter Exzenter verwendet. Für die Höhe der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand werden nur die beiden oberen linken/rechten Exzenter als Auflage genutzt. Die Exzenter werden bei der Einstellung der Baugruppe/Vorderwand jeweils montiert und mittels Lehre in Y-Ausrichtung eingestellt und dann mit einer Schraube festgesetzt. Um die Exzenter in der Vormontage einfacher drehen zu können, ist am Kopf des Exzenters eine Anformung für einen Maulschlüssel angebracht. Der Monteur muss in der Endmontage somit grundsätzlich keine Einstellarbeiten mehr vornehmen. Für eine gleichbleibende Höhe der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand muss die Seitenwand immer von oben auf die eingestellten Exzenter gedrückt werden. Dieses geschieht mit auf Vorspannung montierten dünnen Blechwinkeln. Diese Blechwinkel werden in der Vormontage an die Seitenwand montiert und bilden so mit der Seitenwand zusammen die Baugruppe/Seitenwand. Bei der Montage werden die Seitenwände in etwas erhöhter Position mit den Schlüssellöchern in die Exzenter eingefädelt und dann runtergeschoben. Die Gewichtskraft der Seitenwand geht in die gleiche Richtung wie die Montagerichtung und reduziert beim Monteur somit den einzusetzenden Kraftaufwand.After a first solution according to the invention for mounting the side wall on the front wall, these provided on the front wall laterally left and right components here adjustable eccentric mounted. External loads on the side wall are transmitted via these eccentrics in the front area of the device to the floor assembly / front wall and thus to the entire device. For example, in the event of a load event such as a person placing himself on the machine lid, the force will travel over the lid to the side wall and onto the front wall and floor module into the feet of the appliance. The eccentrics are also used to adjust the side wall in the overall width, here the Y-orientation of the device, and in height to the front wall, z. B. the Z-orientation. Thus, item tolerances of the front wall are intercepted and lead to a clean slit image of the entire device. For the four mounting positions on the front wall, two left and two right edges are used, respectively, two left and one right hand eccentric. For the height of the side wall to the front wall only the two upper left / right eccentric are used as a support. The eccentrics are each mounted in the setting of the assembly / front wall and adjusted by means of teaching in Y-orientation and then fixed with a screw. In order to make it easier to turn the eccentrics during pre-assembly, an adapter for an open-end wrench is attached to the head of the eccentric. As a matter of principle, the installer does not have to make any adjustments during final assembly. For a constant height of the side wall to the front wall, the side wall must always be pressed from above on the adjusted eccentric. This is done with prestressed thin sheet metal brackets. These sheet metal angles are mounted in the pre-assembly on the side wall and thus form with the side wall together the assembly / side wall. When mounting the side walls are threaded in a slightly elevated position with the keyholes in the eccentric and then pushed down. The weight of the side wall goes in the same direction as the mounting direction and thus reduces the force to be used by the fitter.

Hierbei ist der Exzenter aus einem Kunststoffformteil gebildet, dessen vorderer Teil in einer Lochstanzung an dem Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand festgelegt ist. Der hintere Teil des Exzenters nimmt hierbei eine Anlagebahn in Form einer Raumkurve ein. Bei vorgegebenem Schwenkbereich des Exzenters bleibt die Höhe der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand im montierten Zustand konstant.Here, the eccentric is formed from a plastic molded part, the front part is fixed in a punched hole on the Abkantungsprofil the front wall. The rear part of the eccentric in this case occupies a contact path in the form of a space curve. For a given pivoting range of the eccentric, the height of the side wall to the front wall in the mounted state remains constant.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist an der Lochstanzung eine als Schwenkbegrenzung ausgebildete Teilbogenstanzung an dem Abkantungsprofil vorgesehen, welches mit einem vorderen Teil des Exzenters angeformten Steg zur Schwenkbegrenzung zusammenwirkt. Die Anlagebahn der Raumkurve des Exzenters wirkt hierbei im montierten Zustand der Seitenwand an der Vorderwand mit an dem Seitenwandprofil angeordneten Anlagekanten zusammen, welche einerseits die Höhe der Seitenwand und andererseits die Neigung der Vorderwand festlegen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a trained as a pivot boundary partial sheet punching is provided on the Abkantungsprofil to the punch hole, which cooperates with a front part of the eccentric integrally formed web for pivotal limitation. The contact path of the space curve of the eccentric acts here in the mounted state of the side wall on the front wall with arranged on the side wall profile contact edges, which define on the one hand the height of the side wall and on the other hand, the inclination of the front wall.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung umfassen die Anlagekanten zwei zueinander parallel verlaufende, senkrecht angeordnete Stegbleche sowie ein horizontal verlaufendes Stegblech zur Bildung eines Justierraumes für die Anlagebahn. Die Anlagekanten können hierbei aus dem Seitenwandprofil herausgebogen sein, so dass sich dieser Justierraum bildet, der einerseits das Durchdringen des hinteren Teils des Exzenters ermöglicht, so dass dieser dann an der hinteren Seite des Anlageprofils seine Stellwirkung an den heraus geformten Stegen ermöglicht.In a further development of the invention, the abutment edges comprise two mutually parallel, vertically arranged web plates and a horizontally extending web plate to form a Justierraumes for the contact path. The abutment edges can hereby be bent out of the sidewall profile, so that this adjustment space forms, on the one hand allows the penetration of the rear part of the eccentric, so that this then allows on the rear side of the investment profile its actuating effect on the outwardly formed webs.

Die Exzenter haben vorne eine deutliche Anfasung, Verrundung, so dass bei der Montage das Schlüsselloch an der Seitenwand einfacher getroffen werden kann. Nachdem die Seitenwände an die Exzenter/Vorderwand gehängt sind, wird mittels der Verschraubung zwischen Winkel und Vorderwand die Vorspannung auf die Seitenwand in negativer Z-Ausrichtung aufgebracht.The eccentrics have a pronounced chamfering at the front, rounding so that the keyhole on the side wall can be made easier during assembly. After the side walls are hung on the eccentric / front wall, the bias is applied to the side wall in negative Z-orientation by means of the screw connection between the angle and the front wall.

Gemäß einer zweiten Lösung der Erfindung werden ebenfalls einstellbare Exzenter eingesetzt, die für die Y-Ausrichtung der Seitenwand zuständig sind. Die Exzenter geben jedoch bei dieser Lösung nicht die Höhenposition der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand vor, d.h., die Seitenwand liegt hierbei nicht oben auf den Exzentern auf, sondern der Exzenter liegt hierbei in der Schlüssellochstanzung, wobei er hierbei an den Seitenkanten der Stanzung anliegt. Eine Anlage an der horizontal verlaufenden Kante der Stanzung ist hierbei nicht gegeben. Die Exzenter müssen ebenso in der Vormontage der Baugruppe/Vorderwand in seitlicher Y-Ausrichtung eingestellt und mittels Schraube fixiert werden. Eine Maulschlüsselanformung für die Verdrehung ist ebenso vorhanden. Es wird für die vier Einbaupositionen an der Vorderwand jeweils der gleiche Exzenter verwendet, so dass keine Verwechslungsgefahr besteht. Die beschriebenen seitlichen Lastfälle werden von den Exzentern aufgenommen und in das Gerät weitergeleitet. Anstatt der dünnen Winkel werden stabile Blechwinkel eingesetzt, die über Verschraubung mit der Seitenwand und dann Verschraubung mit der Vorderwand die Höhe der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand definieren. Die Winkel fangen die vertikalen Lasten auf, die auf die Seitenwand wirken. Die Winkel werden hierbei über Durchzug in Durchzug der Kegelprägung im Rundlochpositioniert.According to a second solution of the invention also adjustable eccentric are used, which are responsible for the Y-orientation of the side wall. However, the eccentric do not give the height position of the side wall to the front wall in this solution, ie, the side wall is not on top of the eccentrics, but the eccentric lies in the keyhole punching, in which case it rests against the side edges of the punching. An investment in the horizontal edge of the punching is not here given. The eccentrics must also be adjusted in the pre-assembly of the module / front wall in lateral Y-orientation and fixed by means of a screw. A wrench forming for the twisting is also available. The same eccentric is used for the four mounting positions on the front wall so that there is no risk of confusion. The lateral load cases described are absorbed by the eccentrics and forwarded to the device. Instead of the thin angles, sturdy sheet metal brackets are used, which define the height of the side wall to the front wall by screwing to the side wall and then screwing to the front wall. The angles capture the vertical loads acting on the sidewall. The angles are hereby positioned on the passage in the passage of the conical stamping in the round hole.

Erfindungsgemäß wird hierzu vorgeschlagen, dass die Seitenwände zum rahmenlosen Aufbau des Gehäuses zur Ausrichtung in der Höhe und/oder in der seitlichen Neigung gegenüber der Vorderwand an in der Vormontage justierbaren Elementen an der Vorderwand unter Einbindung eines Halteelementes festlegbar sind. In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die justierbaren Elemente aus Exzentern gebildet, die an dem Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand schwenkbar gelagert sind.According to the invention it is proposed for this purpose that the side walls for frameless construction of the housing for alignment in height and / or in the lateral inclination relative to the front wall to be adjusted in the pre-assembly elements on the front wall with the involvement of a holding element. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the adjustable elements are formed from eccentrics, which are pivotally mounted on the Abkantungsprofil the front wall.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäß einer zweiten Variante, wirkt der Exzenter mit seiner Anlagebahn in eine am Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand angeordneter Schlüssellochstanzung zusammen. Hierbei ist mit der Anlagebahn des Exzenters in der Schlüssellochstanzung die Neigung der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand festlegbar.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention according to a second variant, the eccentric acts with its contact path in a arranged on Abkantungsprofil the front wall keyhole punching together. Here, with the contact path of the eccentric in the keyhole punching the inclination of the side wall to the front wall can be fixed.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen die zweite Ausführungsform, wobei in der Teildarstellung ein Gehäuse 1 für ein Haushaltsgerät wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, eine Waschmaschine, eine Geschirrspülmaschine oder dergleichen mit einer Vorderwand 2, an der eine Seitenwand 3 angebunden ist. Dabei sind die Seitenwände 3 zum rahmenlosen Aufbau des Gehäuses 1 zur Ausrichtung in der Höhe Z und/oder in den seitlichen Neigungen Y gegenüber der Vorderwand 2 an in der Vormontage justierbaren Elementen 4 an der Vorderwand 2 unter Einbindung eines Halteelementes 5 festlegbar. Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 1 in Zusammenschau mit der Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, wird an dem Abkantprofil der Seitenwand 3 ein Halteelement 5 in Form eines Winkels festgelegt, der mit seinem waagerechten Schenkel 6 auf der oberen Vorderwandrandung aufliegt, wobei unterhalb des senkrecht verlaufenden Schenkels 7, der an der Kantenprofilierung der Seitenwand 2 mittels einer Schraube festgelegt ist, das justierbare Element 4 angeordnet ist. Dabei ist das justierbare Element 4, wie aus der Figur 3 ersichtlich, an der Abkantprofilierung der Vorderwand 2 vorgesehen, wobei dieses aus einem Exzenter besteht, wie dieser beispielsweise in den Figuren 7 und 8 näher dargestellt ist. Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 3 und 4, die die erste Ausführungsform zeigen, ersichtlich ist, sind die justierbaren Elemente 4, die an dem Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand 2 schwenkbar gelagert sind, aus einem Kunststoffteil geformt. Das Kunststoffteil besteht hierbei aus einem vorderen Teil 8, welcher in einer Lochstanzung 9 an dem Abkantprofil der Vorderwand 2 festgelegt ist. Dabei nimmt der Exzenter mit seinem hinteren Teil 10 eine Anlagebahn 11 in Form einer Raumkurve ein, wie diese insbesondere deutlich aus der Figur 8 in der geschnittenen Draufsicht zu erkennen ist. In der Figur 3 und 4 der ersten Ausführungsform ist zudem zu erkennen, dass am hinteren Teil 10 des Exzenters Ansatzflächen 11.1 und 11.2 vorgesehen sind, um beispielsweise einen nicht näher dargestellten Maulschlüssel zum Verdrehen des Exzenters anzusetzen.The Figures 1 and 2 show the second embodiment, wherein in the partial view, a housing 1 for a household appliance such as a tumble dryer, a washing machine, a dishwasher or the like with a front wall 2, to which a side wall 3 is connected. In this case, the side walls 3 for frameless construction of the housing 1 for alignment in the height Z and / or in the lateral inclinations Y relative to the front wall 2 on in the pre-assembly adjustable elements 4 on the front wall 2 with the involvement of a holding element 5 can be fixed. As in particular from the FIG. 1 in conjunction with the FIG. 2 It can be seen, is fixed to the Abkantprofil the side wall 3, a holding element 5 in the form of an angle, which rests with its horizontal leg 6 on the upper Vorderwandrandung, below the vertically extending leg 7, which is fixed to the edge profiling of the side wall 2 by means of a screw is that adjustable element 4 is arranged. It is the adjustable element 4, as shown in FIG. 3 seen, provided on the Abkantprofilierung the front wall 2, which consists of an eccentric, as this example in the FIGS. 7 and 8 is shown in more detail. As in particular from the FIGS. 3 and 4 showing the first embodiment, it can be seen, the adjustable elements 4, which are pivotally mounted on the Abkantungsprofil the front wall 2, molded from a plastic part. The plastic part consists in this case of a front part 8, which is fixed in a hole punching 9 on the Abkantprofil the front wall 2. In this case, the eccentric takes with its rear part 10 a contact track 11 in the form of a Space curve, as this particular clear from the FIG. 8 can be seen in the sectional plan view. In the FIGS. 3 and 4 The first embodiment can also be seen that the rear part 10 of the eccentric approach surfaces 11.1 and 11.2 are provided to set, for example, a spanner, not shown, for rotating the eccentric.

An der Lochstanzung 9 ist eine als Schwenkbegrenzung ausgebildete Teilbogenstanzung 12 an dem Abkantprofil der Vorderwand 2 vorgesehen, welche mit einem am vorderen Teil 8 des Exzenters angeformten Steg 10 zur Schwenkbegrenzung zusammenwirkt, wie dies aus der Zusammenschau der Figuren 4 und 6 deutlich wird. Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass das als Kunststoffformteil ausgebildete Exzenterteil an der Teilbogenstanzung 12 in einem Winkelbereich von etwa 60° schwenkbar angeordnet ist, wie dies in der Figur 5 deutlich zu erkennen ist. Dabei wirkt, wie insbesondere in der Figur 8 deutlich wird, die Anlagebahn 11 der Raumkurve des Exzenters im montierten Zustand der Seitenwand 3 an der Vorderwand 2 mit an dem Seitenwandprofil angeordneten Anlagekanten 14.1, 14.2 und 14.3 zusammen, wobei insbesondere, wie aus der Figur 8 erkennbar, einerseits die Höhe Z der Seitenwand 3 über die Anlagekante 14.2 festgelegt ist, wobei andererseits die Neigung Y zur Vorderwand 2 über die Anlagekanten 14.1 und 14.3 festlegbar sind. Wie aus der Figur 8 zu erkennen ist, liegt die Exzenterachse 15 versetzt zu der Drehachse 16, was insbesondere hier die Raumkurve bestimmt. Die Raumkurve gleitet hierbei an den Anlagekanten 14.1, 14.2, 14.3 vorbei, wobei sie in Anlage die Seitenwand 3 hier in die entsprechende Y-Richtung verschiebt, wobei die Z-Richtung im Schwenkbereich konstant gehalten ist. Die beiden seitlichen Anlagestege 14.1 und 14.3 sind hier für die Y-Richtung zuständig, wobei die quer oben liegende Anlagekante 14.2 für die Höheneinstellung, also die Z-Richtung, bestimmt ist. Die Figur 14 verdeutlicht hierbei, dass die Seitenwand 3 auf dem Anlagesteg 14.2 liegt, wobei der das Halteelement 5 umfassende Winkel mit seinem horizontal verlaufenden Schenkel 6 unter einem Spalt zur Vorderwand 2 ausgerichtet ist. Wird eine nicht näher dargestellte Verbindungsschraube zwischen den Schenkel 6 und der Vorderwand 2 eingedreht, so erfolgt die Festlegung unter einer Vorspannung.At the hole punching 9 designed as a pivot boundary part sheet punching 12 is provided on the Abkantprofil the front wall 2, which cooperates with an integrally formed on the front part 8 of the eccentric web 10 for pivotal limiting, as is the summary of FIGS. 4 and 6 becomes clear. It is self-evident that the eccentric part designed as a plastic molded part is pivotably arranged on the partial sheet punching 12 in an angular range of approximately 60 °, as shown in FIG FIG. 5 is clearly visible. It works, as in particular in the FIG. 8 becomes clear, the contact path 11 of the space curve of the eccentric in the mounted state of the side wall 3 on the front wall 2 with arranged on the side wall profile contact edges 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 together, in particular, as shown in FIG. 8 recognizable, on the one hand, the height Z of the side wall 3 is fixed on the contact edge 14.2, on the other hand, the inclination Y to the front wall 2 on the abutment edges 14.1 and 14.3 can be fixed. Like from the FIG. 8 can be seen, the eccentric axis 15 is offset from the axis of rotation 16, which determines here in particular the space curve. The space curve slides past the abutment edges 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, displacing the side wall 3 here in the corresponding Y direction, the Z direction being kept constant in the swivel range. The two lateral contact webs 14.1 and 14.3 are responsible here for the Y direction, wherein the transverse upper edge 14.2 for height adjustment, ie the Z direction, is determined. The FIG. 14 illustrates here that the side wall 3 is located on the contact web 14.2, wherein the angle of the retaining element 5 is aligned with its horizontally extending leg 6 at a gap to the front wall 2. If a connecting screw, not shown, is screwed in between the legs 6 and the front wall 2, then the fixing takes place under a prestress.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung umfassen die Anlagekanten 14.1 und 14.3 zwei zueinander parallel verlaufende, senkrecht angeordnete Stegbleche sowie eine horizontale Anlagekante 14.2 mit einem oberen Stegblech zur Bildung des Justierraumes.In a further development of the invention, the abutment edges 14.1 and 14.3 comprise two mutually parallel, vertically arranged web plates and a horizontal abutment edge 14.2 with an upper web plate to form the Justierraumes.

Gemäß der zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung, dargestellt insbesondere in den Figuren 9, 10, 11, 12, und 13 wirkt der das Justierelement 4 umfassenden Exzenter mit seiner Anlagebahn 11 in eine am Abkantungsprofil der Seitenwand angeordneten Schlüssellochstanzung 17 zusammen, wie diese in der Figur 9 deutlich zu erkennen ist. Dort liegt die Anlagebahn 11 des Exzenters ausschließlich an den seitlichen Einschnürungen 18 und 19 des Schlüsselloches 17 an, wobei in der Höhe Z-Ausrichtung keine Auflage der Seitenwand 3 gegeben ist. Mit dieser Art der Einbindung kann lediglich eine Stellung der Neigung in Y-Richtung vorgenommen werden, wobei die Höhe bestimmt wird durch den Winkel, wie dieser in den Figuren 1, 2, 12, 13 dargestellt ist. Auch in der Figur 10 ist die Exzenterachse 15 sowie die Drehachse 16 ersichtlich, so dass hier entsprechend, wie dargestellt, die Y-Ausrichtung gemäß Pfeildarstellung erkennbar ist. Wie bereits schon gesagt, ist mit der Anlagebahn 11 des Exzenters in der Schlüssellochstanzung 17 ausschließlich die Neigung der Seitenwand 3 zur Vorderwand 2 in Y-Richtung gemäß der zweiten Ausführung möglich.According to the second embodiment of the invention, illustrated in particular in FIGS FIGS. 9, 10, 11 . 12, and 13 acts of the adjusting element 4 comprehensive eccentric with its contact track 11 in a folded edge profile of the side wall arranged keyhole punch 17 together, as this in the FIG. 9 is clearly visible. There is the contact path 11 of the eccentric exclusively on the lateral constrictions 18 and 19 of Keyhole 17, wherein in the height Z orientation no support of the side wall 3 is given. With this type of integration, only a position of the inclination in the Y direction can be made, wherein the height is determined by the angle, as this in the FIGS. 1, 2 . 12, 13 is shown. Also in the FIG. 10 is the eccentric axis 15 and the axis of rotation 16 can be seen, so that here, as shown, the Y-orientation can be seen according to the arrow. As already stated, with the contact track 11 of the eccentric in the keyhole punching 17, only the inclination of the side wall 3 to the front wall 2 in the Y direction according to the second embodiment is possible.
