Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Montagewerkzeug zur Montage einer Führungsschiene an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 und ein Verfahren zur Montage einer Führungsschiene an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil.The present invention relates to an assembly tool for assembling a guide rail on a plate-shaped furniture part according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for mounting a guide rail on a plate-shaped furniture part.

Es gibt Positionierhilfen für Führungsschienen, um diese in einem vorbestimmten Abstand zu einer Stirnkante eines plattenförmigen Möbelteils zu positionieren. Bei solchen Positionierhilfen kann die Führungsschiene an einer Anlagefläche der Positionierhilfe angelegt werden. Bei der Montage ist es allerdings notwendig, die Führungsschiene loszulassen, um diese dann über Schrauben oder andere Befestigungsmittel an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil zu fixieren. Dies ist gerade bei der Montage von Führungsschienen an einer Unterseite eines plattenförmigen Möbelteils schwierig.There are positioning aids for guide rails in order to position them at a predetermined distance from an end edge of a plate-shaped furniture part. With such positioning aids, the guide rail can be placed on a contact surface of the positioning aid. During assembly, however, it is necessary to let go of the guide rail in order to then fix it to a plate-shaped piece of furniture using screws or other fastening means. This is particularly difficult when mounting guide rails on an underside of a plate-shaped furniture part.

Die US2005/0102816 A1 offenbart ein Montagewerkzeug zur Montage einer metallischen Schiene, wobei an dem Montagewerkzeug ein Magnet zum Halten der Schiene vorgesehen ist.The US2005 / 0102816 A1 discloses an assembly tool for assembling a metallic rail, wherein a magnet for holding the rail is provided on the assembly tool.

Das erfindungsgemäße Montagewerkzeug umfasst einen Formkörper mit mindestens einer Aufnahme zur Fixierung einer Führungsschiene und einen winkelförmigen Anlageabschnitt, der an eine Stirnkante und eine Oberfläche des plattenförmigen Möbelteils anlegbar ist. Dadurch kann eine Führungsschiene sicher an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil positioniert werden, wobei auch eine Bewegung der Führungsschiene über die klemmende Fixierung mit dem Montagewerkzeug möglich ist.The assembly tool according to the invention comprises a molded body with at least one receptacle for fixing a guide rail and an angular contact section which can be placed against an end edge and a surface of the plate-shaped furniture part. As a result, a guide rail can be securely positioned on a plate-shaped piece of furniture, it also being possible for the guide rail to be moved via the clamping fixation with the assembly tool.

Vorzugsweise sind an dem Formkörper mindestens zwei beabstandete Aufnahmen zur Fixierung von Führungsschienen mit einem unterschiedlichen Profilquerschnitt vorgesehen. Dadurch kann das Montagewerkzeug bspw. sowohl eine obere Führungsschiene an einem Oberboden als auch eine untere Führungsschiene an einem Boden eines Schrankmöbels fixieren. Zudem lässt sich das Montagewerkzeug flexibler für unterschiedliche Profilquerschnitte einsetzen. Die Führungsschiene kann dabei jeweils klemmend in oder an einer Aufnahme des Formkörpers fixiert werden, bspw. über biegbare Raststege oder elastische Elemente, die an der Aufnahme vorgesehen sind.At least two spaced-apart receptacles for fixing guide rails with a different profile cross section are preferably provided on the molded body. As a result, the assembly tool can, for example, fix both an upper guide rail to an upper floor and a lower guide rail to a floor of a piece of cupboard furniture. In addition, the assembly tool can be used more flexibly for different profile cross-sections. The guide rail can in each case be fixed in a clamped manner in or on a receptacle of the shaped body, for example by means of bendable locking webs or elastic elements which are provided on the receptacle.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist ein Federelement vorgesehen, das zur klemmenden Fixierung des Formkörpers an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil vorgesehen ist. Dadurch kann das Montagewerkzeug zusammen mit der Führungsschiene an dem plattenförmigen Möbelteil positioniert werden, und der Monteur kann dann das Montagewerkzeug loslassen und die Befestigung der Führungsschiene vornehmen. Das Federelement kann dabei in unterschiedlichen Verbindungspositionen an dem Formkörper fixiert werden, sodass das Montagewerkzeug für unterschiedlich dicke plattenförmige Möbelteile eingesetzt werden kann oder ggf. an dem plattenförmigen Möbelteil noch zusätzliche Bauteile, wie Leisten, über das Montagewerkzeug positioniert und gehalten werden können, um diese dann zusammen mit der Führungsschiene an dem plattenförmigen Möbelteil zu fixieren. Das Federelement kann dabei einen Fußabschnitt aufweisen, der an unterschiedlichen Aufnahmen des Formkörpers einsteckbar oder einschiebbar ist, um eine einfache Ausrichtung des Federelementes vornehmen zu können.According to the invention, a spring element is provided, which is provided for the clamping fixation of the molded body on a plate-shaped furniture part.

In der montierten Position liegt der gebogene Anlageabschnitt 23 an der Oberseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 an, während die Führungsschiene 30 an der gegenüberliegenden Unterseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 vorgesehen ist.In the Figures 5A and 5B The assembly tool 10 is shown in order to fix a guide rail 30 to a plate-shaped furniture part 5, for example a floor or top floor of a cupboard furniture. The guide rail 30 is angular in cross section, with one leg 31 inserted into the receptacle 12 and fixed there by clamping. The other leg of the guide rail 30 has a surface that is essentially flush with the leg 15. The assembly tool 10 can now together with the guide rail 30 according to Figure 5B be positioned such that the guide rail 30 is positioned and held on an underside of the plate-shaped furniture part 5 via the assembly tool 10. The distance of the guide rail 30 from the front end edge of the plate-shaped furniture part 5 is predetermined via the angular contact section 14. By means of the spring element 20, which is fixed with the foot section 21 in the receptacle 12 of the molded body 11, the assembly tool 10 is clamped together with the guide rail 30 to the plate-shaped furniture part 5, the curved shape of the spring element 20 being shown in the present application is not shown. In the assembled position, the curved contact section 23 lies against the top of the plate-shaped furniture part 5, while the guide rail 30 is provided on the opposite underside of the plate-shaped furniture part 5.

In den Figuren 6A und 6B wird das Montagewerkzeug 10 zur Montage einer Führungsschiene 30 eingesetzt, die an einer Oberseite eines plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 montiert werden soll, das an der Unterseite einen Sockel 6 oder ein anderes Element aufweist. Dadurch kann das Federelement 20 nicht eingesetzt werden, um das plattenförmige Möbelteil 5 U-förmig zu umgreifen. Auch ohne das Federelement 20 kann zur Montage der Führungsschiene 30 an der Oberseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils der winkelförmige Anlageabschnitt an eine Vorderstirnkante des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 angelegt werden, um die Führungsschiene 30 zu positionieren und dann zu fixieren, bspw. über Schrauben, Klebebänder oder andere Befestigungsmittel. Die Führungsschiene 30 kann dabei über zwei Montagewerkzeuge 10 gehalten werden, die jeweils eine hohle Grifföffnung 26 aufweisen.In the Figures 6A and 6B the assembly tool 10 is used to assemble a guide rail 30 which is on an upper side of a plate-shaped Furniture part 5 is to be mounted, which has a base 6 or another element on the underside. As a result, the spring element 20 cannot be used to encompass the plate-shaped furniture part 5 in a U-shape. Even without the spring element 20, in order to mount the guide rail 30 on the upper side of the plate-shaped furniture part, the angular contact section can be placed against a front end edge of the plate-shaped furniture part 5 in order to position and then fix the guide rail 30, for example using screws, adhesive tapes or other fastening means . The guide rail 30 can be held over two assembly tools 10, each having a hollow handle opening 26.

In den Figuren 7A und 7B ist das Montagewerkzeug gezeigt, bei dem eine modifizierte Führungsschiene 40 an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil 5 montiert wird. Die Führungsschiene 40 ist im Querschnitt U-förmig ausgebildet und weist einen Abschnitt 41 auf, der in die Aufnahme 13 an dem Formkörper 11 eingesteckt ist. Der andere, als Vertikalsteg ausgebildete Schenkel, ist mit einer Stirnseite in der nutförmigen Aufnahme 18 an dem Wandabschnitt 17 eingefügt, sodass die Führungsschiene 40 klemmend an dem Formkörper 11 fixiert ist. Die Führungsschiene 40 kann nun ähnlich wie in Figur 5 an einer Unterseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 positioniert werden, wobei das Federelement 20 dafür sorgt, dass das Montagewerkzeug 10 zusammen mit der Führungsschiene 40 an dem plattenförmigen Möbelteil 5 klemmend gehalten ist, sodass der Monteur nun über andere Befestigungsmittel die Führungsschiene 40 an der Unterseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 fixieren kann.In the Figures 7A and 7B the assembly tool is shown, in which a modified guide rail 40 is mounted on a plate-shaped furniture part 5. The guide rail 40 is U-shaped in cross section and has a section 41 which is inserted into the receptacle 13 on the molded body 11. The other leg, which is designed as a vertical web, is inserted with an end face in the groove-shaped receptacle 18 on the wall section 17, so that the guide rail 40 is fixed in a clamped manner on the molded body 11. The guide rail 40 can now be similar to that in FIG Figure 5 be positioned on an underside of the plate-shaped furniture part 5, the spring element 20 ensuring that the assembly tool 10 is held clamped together with the guide rail 40 on the plate-shaped furniture part 5, so that the fitter now uses other fastening means to guide the guide rail 40 on the underside of the plate-shaped Furniture part 5 can fix.

In den Figuren 8A und 8B ist die Montage der Führungsschiene 30 an einem plattenförmigen Möbelteil 5 gezeigt, bei dem an der Unterseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 eine zusätzliche Leiste 9 oder ein Abstandshalter vorgesehen ist. Dadurch vergrößert sich der Abstand zwischen einer Oberseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 und einer Unterseite der Leiste 9, wobei alternativ auch eine dickere Möbelplatte für den größeren Abstand sorgen kann. Das Federelement 20 wird daher mit dem Fußabschnitt 21 in die zweite Aufnahme 25 eingefügt, sodass nun die Führungsschiene 30 gemäß Figur 8B an der Unterseite der Leiste 9 positioniert und über das Montagewerkzeug 10 klemmend gehalten werden kann.In the Figures 8A and 8B the assembly of the guide rail 30 on a plate-shaped furniture part 5 is shown, in which an additional bar 9 or a spacer is provided on the underside of the plate-shaped furniture part 5. As a result, the distance between an upper side of the plate-shaped furniture part 5 and an underside of the bar 9 increases, whereby alternatively a thicker furniture plate can also provide the greater distance. The spring element 20 is therefore inserted with the foot section 21 into the second receptacle 25, so that the guide rail 30 according to FIG Figure 8B positioned on the underside of the bar 9 and can be held in a clamping manner by means of the assembly tool 10.

In den Figuren 9A und 9B ist die Montage der U-förmigen Führungsschiene 40 gezeigt, die an der Aufnahme 13 des Montagewerkzeugs 10 fixiert ist. Auch die Führungsschiene 40 kann über das Federelement 20 klemmend an dem plattenförmigen Möbelteil 5 mit der Leiste 9 fixiert werden, um dann die Führungsschiene 40 über Befestigungsmittel an der Leiste 9 zu fixieren, wobei optional auch die Leiste 9 zusammen mit der Führungsschiene 40 an dem plattenförmigen Möbelteil 5 fixiert wird.In the Figures 9A and 9B the assembly of the U-shaped guide rail 40 is shown, which is fixed to the receptacle 13 of the assembly tool 10. The guide rail 40 can also be clamped on the spring element 20 plate-shaped furniture part 5 are fixed with the strip 9, in order then to fix the guide rail 40 to the strip 9 by means of fastening means, the strip 9 optionally also being fixed together with the guide rail 40 on the plate-shaped furniture part 5.

In den Figuren 10A und 10B ist die Montage der Führungsschiene 30 über zwei Montagewerkzeuge 10 gezeigt, die beabstandet voneinander die Führungsschiene 30 halten, um diese an einem Boden als plattenförmiges Möbelteil 5 eines schrankförmigen Möbels 1 zu fixieren. Das Möbel 1 umfasst einen Möbelkorpus mit einem Oberboden 2, einem Boden und einer den Oberboden 2 und den Boden verbindenden mittleren Trennwand 4, sowie äußere Seitenwände 3, die den Boden mit dem Oberboden 2 verbinden. Der Boden ist ferner beabstandet von einem Untergrund angeordnet und über einem Sockel 6 positioniert. Die Führungsschiene 30 kann über das Montagewerkzeug 10 an dem Boden positioniert und dann über Befestigungsmittel festgelegt werden, wie dies in den Figuren 5 und 6 gezeigt ist.In the Figures 10A and 10B the assembly of the guide rail 30 via two assembly tools 10 is shown, which hold the guide rail 30 at a distance from one another in order to fix it on a floor as a plate-shaped furniture part 5 of a cabinet-shaped furniture 1. The furniture 1 comprises a furniture body with an upper floor 2, a floor and a middle partition wall 4 connecting the upper floor 2 and the floor, as well as outer side walls 3 which connect the floor to the upper floor 2. The floor is also spaced from an underground and positioned above a base 6. The guide rail 30 can be positioned on the floor using the assembly tool 10 and then fixed using fastening means, as shown in FIGS Figures 5 and 6 is shown.

In den Figuren 11A und 11B ist ein auf den Oberboden abgestelltes, also im Gegensatz zu den Figuren 10 um 180° Grad gedrehtes Möbel 1' gezeigt. Zur Montage der Führungsschiene 40 werden zwei Montagewerkzeuge 10 eingesetzt, die die Führungsschiene 40 zusammen mit einer Leiste 9 an einer Unterseite des Oberbodens positionieren, um dann die Führungsschiene 40 zusammen mit der Leiste 9 an dem Oberboden festzulegen. Die Montage kann daher wie in den Figuren 8 oder 9 erfolgen, wobei die Führungsschiene 30 oder 40 wahlweise an der Unterseite oder der Oberseite des plattenförmigen Möbelteils 5 erfolgt.In the Figures 11A and 11B is on the top floor, in contrast to the Figures 10 Furniture 1 'rotated by 180 ° is shown. To assemble the guide rail 40, two assembly tools 10 are used, which position the guide rail 40 together with a bar 9 on an underside of the upper floor, in order to then fix the guide rail 40 together with the bar 9 on the upper floor. The assembly can therefore as in the Figures 8 or 9 take place, the guide rail 30 or 40 optionally on the underside or the top of the plate-shaped furniture part 5.

Das Montagewerkzeug 10 kann somit bei der Auslieferung eines Schrankmöbels zugegeben werden, damit der Monteur oder Endverbraucher auf einfache Weise die Führungsschiene 30 oder 40 exakt ausrichten und fixieren kann.The assembly tool 10 can thus be added when a piece of cupboard furniture is delivered so that the fitter or end user can easily align and fix the guide rail 30 or 40 in a simple manner.
