Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Figuren 1a bis 1c zeigen eine Relingstange 101 für eine Schublade, umfassend ein mit einem Wandelement 102, beispielsweise einer Frontblende oder einer Rückwand, einer Schublade zu verbindendes Ende 103 und einem Längenausgleichselement 104, welches in Längsrichtung 105 der Relingstange 101 relativ zur Relingstange 101 bewegbar ist, um einen in einem verbundenen Zustand der Relingstange 101 mit dem Wandelement 102 auftretenden Spalt 106 abzudecken. Solche Relingstange sind aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise der DE 198 30 740 A1 , bekannt.The Figures 1a to 1c show a railing rod 101 for a drawer, comprising an end 103 to be connected to a wall element 102, for example a front panel or a rear wall, of a drawer and a length compensation element 104, which is movable in the longitudinal direction 105 of the railing rod 101 relative to the railing rod 101 in order to to cover a gap 106 occurring when the railing rod 101 is connected to the wall element 102 . Such railing are from the prior art, for example DE 198 30 740 A1 , known.

Im Einzelnen zeigt die Figur 1a die Relingstange 101, wobei das Längenausgleichselement 104 in zwei verschiedenen Stellungen relativ zur Relingstange 101 bzw. zum Ende 103 der Relingstange 101 dargestellt ist. Um die Stellung des Längenausgleichselements 104 zu ändern, wird es per Hand relativ zur Relingstange 101 verschoben.In detail, the Figure 1a the railing rod 101, the length compensation element 104 being shown in two different positions relative to the railing rod 101 and to the end 103 of the railing rod 101. In order to change the position of the length compensation element 104, it is moved by hand relative to the railing rod 101.

Die Figuren 1b und 1c zeigen eine Anordnung 114 aus einer Relingstange 101 und einem Wandelement 102, wobei das Ende 103 der Relingstange 101 über einen Möbelbeschlag 112, welcher an der Relingstange 101 ausgebildet ist, mit dem Wandelement 102 verbunden ist. Um die Verbindung zwischen der Relingstange 101 und dem Wandelement 102 herzustellen, wird das Längenausgleichselement 104 zunächst nach rechts, also von dem Wandelement 102 der Verbindungsstelle weg geschoben. Nachdem die Verbindung hergestellt ist, liegt zwischen dem Ende 103 der Relingstange 101 und dem Wandelement 102 ein Spalt 106 vor. Um diesen Spalt 106sowie den sichtbaren Teil des Möbelbeschlags 112 abzudecken, schiebt der Nutzer dann das Längenausgleichselement 104 so lange nach links, bis das Längenausgleichselement 104 am Wandelement 102 anliegt (vergleiche Stellung gemäß Figur 1c).The Figures 1b and 1c show an arrangement 114 of a railing rod 101 and a wall element 102, the end 103 of the railing rod 101 being connected to the wall element 102 via a furniture fitting 112 which is formed on the railing rod 101. In order to establish the connection between the railing rod 101 and the wall element 102, the length compensation element 104 is first pushed to the right, ie away from the wall element 102 of the connection point. After the connection is established, there is a gap 106 between the end 103 of the railing rod 101 and the wall element 102 . In order to cover this gap 106 and the visible part of the furniture fitting 112, the user then pushes the length compensation element 104 to the left until the Length compensation element 104 rests against the wall element 102 (compare position according to Figure 1c ).

Nachteilig dabei ist, dass der Nutzer mehrere aufeinanderfolgende Schritte zur Montage der Relingstange 104 am Wandelement 102 durchführen muss. Oftmals wird dabei aber der letzte Schritt, das Abdecken des Spalts 106, vergessen, wodurch das Erscheinungsbild der Schublade beeinträchtigt wird. Dies fällt letztlich negativ auf den Hersteller der Relingstange 104 zurück.The disadvantage here is that the user has to carry out several successive steps to mount the railing rod 104 on the wall element 102 . However, the last step, covering the gap 106, is often forgotten, which spoils the appearance of the drawer. Ultimately, this reflects negatively on the manufacturer of the railing rod 104 .

Der gleiche Nachteil kann sich dadurch ergeben, dass, selbst wenn das Längenausgleichselement 104 in die Stellung gemäß Figur 1c bei der Montage gebracht wird, sich das Längenausgleichselement 104 zu einem späteren, vom Zeitpunkt der Montage abweichenden Zeitpunkt im Laufe der Nutzungsdauer der Schublade aus dieser Stellung zum Beispiel durch Erschütterungen oder beim Reinigen der Schublade wieder hinaus bewegt.The same disadvantage can result from the fact that, even if the length compensation element 104 is in the position according to Figure 1c is brought during assembly, the length compensation element 104 moves out of this position again at a later point in time, different from the point in time of assembly, in the course of the useful life of the drawer, for example due to vibrations or when cleaning the drawer.

Die CN 101 543 345 A offenbart eine Relingstange mit einem federbelasteten Rastelement, welches in eine Öffnung eines Rückwandhalters einrastbar ist.The CN 101 543 345 A discloses a railing rod with a spring-loaded latching element which can be latched into an opening of a rear wall holder.

Aus dem Gebrauchsmuster AT6526U ist eine weitere Anordnung aus einer Relingstange und einem Wandelement bekannt.From the utility model AT6526U Another arrangement of a railing rod and a wall element is known.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, die beschriebenen Nachteile des Stands der Technik zu vermeiden und eine Anordnung mit einer verbesserten Relingstange bzw. Schublade mit einer solchen Anordnung anzugeben.The object of the present invention consists in avoiding the described disadvantages of the prior art and in specifying an arrangement with an improved railing rod or drawer with such an arrangement.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 14 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of independent claims 1 and 14.

Bei der Relingstange ist wenigstens ein Federelement vorgesehen, welches sich an wenigstens einem feststehenden Teil der Relingstange abstützt und das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement in Richtung einer Maximalstellung, in welcher das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement die Relingstange maximal verlängert, drängt.At least one spring element is provided for the railing rod, which is supported on at least one fixed part of the railing rod and moves the at least one length compensation element in the direction of a maximum position, in which the at least one length compensation element lengthens the railing rod to the maximum, pushes.

Durch das wenigstens eine Federelement wird das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement automatisch in eine bestimmte Richtung, nämlich in Richtung der Maximalstellung, in welcher das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement die Relingstange maximal verlängert, gedrängt. Bei der Maximalstellung handelt es sich also um eine Vorzugsstellung. Ein Nutzer muss das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik nicht mehr aktiv betätigen, um einen zwischen dem Ende der Relingstange und dem Wandelement im verbundenen Zustand der Relingstange mit dem Wandelement auftretenden Spalt abzudecken. Eine Fehlstellung des wenigstens einen Längenausgleichselements, in welcher der Spalt sichtbar ist, ist nicht möglich. Für den Fall, dass das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement zum Beispiel beim Reinigen der Schublade aus der Stellung, in welcher es den Spalt abdeckt, fälschlicherweise heraus bewegt werden, so wird dieser Fehler automatisch durch die Beaufschlagung des wenigstens einen Längenausgleichselements durch das wenigstens eine Federelement in Richtung der Maximalstellung wieder behoben. Insgesamt erhöht sich durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen der Bedienungskomfort für den Nutzer.The at least one spring element automatically pushes the at least one length compensation element in a specific direction, namely in the direction of the maximum position in which the at least one length compensation element extends the railing rod to the maximum extent. The maximum position is therefore a preferred position. In comparison to the prior art, a user no longer has to actively actuate the at least one length compensation element in order to cover a gap occurring between the end of the railing rod and the wall element when the railing rod is in the connected state with the wall element. A misalignment of the at least one length compensation element, in which the gap is visible, is not possible. In the event that the at least one length compensation element is wrongly moved out of the position in which it covers the gap, for example when cleaning the drawer, this error is automatically corrected by the at least one length compensation element being acted upon by the at least one spring element in the direction corrected again at the maximum position. Overall, the measures according to the invention increase the ease of use for the user.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement in Stellungen, in denen das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement die Relingstange verlängert, bereichsweise über das Ende der Relingstange hinaus ragt. Das bedeutet, dass der restliche Teil des wenigstens einen Längenausgleichselements in diesen Stellungen mit dem Ende der Relingstange überlappt, wodurch eine stabile und zuverlässige Verlängerung der Relingstange erzielbar ist.A preferred embodiment consists in that the at least one length compensation element in positions in which the at least one length compensation element lengthens the railing rod protrudes in some areas beyond the end of the railing rod. This means that the remaining part of the at least one length compensation element overlaps with the end of the railing rod in these positions, as a result of which a stable and reliable extension of the railing rod can be achieved.

Ein optisch ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild kann dadurch erzielt werden, dass die Relingstange wenigstens einen Hohlraum aufweist und das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement bereichsweise in dem wenigstens einen Hohlraum angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, nur dasjenige Stück vom wenigstens einen Längenausgleichselement zu zeigen, welches zur Abdeckung des Spaltes zwischen dem Ende der Relingstange und dem Wandelement im verbundenen Zustand der Relingstange mit dem Wandelement notwendig ist.A visually appealing appearance can be achieved in that the railing rod has at least one cavity and the at least one length compensation element is arranged in regions in the at least one cavity. In this way it is possible to show only that piece of at least one length compensation element which is necessary to cover the gap between the end of the railing rod and the wall element when the railing rod is connected to the wall element.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung umfasst wenigstens eine Relingstange und wenigstens ein Wandelement, insbesondere eine Frontblende oder eine Rückwand, einer Schublade, wobei das Ende der wenigstens eine Relingstange mit dem Wandelement verbunden ist und zwischen dem Ende der Relingstange und dem Wandelement ein Spalt auftritt oder auftreten kann, welcher durch das wenigstens eine Längenausgleichselement abgedeckt oder abdeckbar ist.The arrangement according to the invention comprises at least one rail and at least one wall element, in particular a front panel or a rear wall, of a drawer, the end of the at least one rail being connected to the wall element and a gap occurring or being able to occur between the end of the rail and the wall element, which is covered or can be covered by the at least one length compensation element.

Die Erfindung begehrt auch Schutz für eine Schublade umfassend wenigstens eine erfindungsgemäße Anordnung.The invention also seeks protection for a drawer comprising at least one arrangement according to the invention.

Die Figuren 1a bis 1c, welche den Stand der Technik zeigen, wurden bereits im Rahmen der Beschreibungseinleitung im Einzelnen beschrieben.The Figures 1a to 1c , which show the state of the art, have already been described in detail in the introduction to the description.

Figur 2a zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung mit einer Relingstange 1 für eine Schublade, umfassend ein mit einem Wandelement 2, insbesondere einer Frontblende 17 oder einer Rückwand 18, einer Schublade zu verbindendes Ende 3 und ein Längenausgleichselement 4, welches in Längsrichtung 5 der Relingstange 1 relativ zur Relingstange 1 bewegbar ist, um einen in einem verbundenen Zustand der Relingstange 1 mit dem Wandelement 2 zwischen dem Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 und dem Wandelement 2 auftretenden Spalt 6 abzudecken. Es ist weiterhin ein Federelement 7 vorgesehen, welches sich an einem feststehenden Teil 8 der Relingstange 1 abstützt und das Längenausgleichselement 4 in Richtung einer Maximalstellung, in welcher das Längenausgleichselement 4 die Relingstange 1 maximal verlängert, drängt. Um das Längenausgleichselement 4 in Richtung der Maximalstellung zu drängen, übt das Federelement 7 eine Kraft auf das Längenausgleichselement 4 in diese Richtung aus. Figure 2a shows a first exemplary embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention with a railing rod 1 for a drawer, comprising an end 3 to be connected to a wall element 2, in particular a front panel 17 or a rear wall 18, of a drawer and a length-compensating element 4, which extends relatively in the longitudinal direction 5 of the railing rod 1 is movable relative to the railing 1 in order to cover a gap 6 occurring between the end 3 of the railing 1 and the wall element 2 in a connected state of the railing 1 with the wall element 2 . A spring element 7 is also provided, which is supported on a stationary part 8 of the railing rod 1 and pushes the length compensation element 4 in the direction of a maximum position in which the length compensation element 4 extends the railing rod 1 to a maximum. In order to urge the length compensation element 4 in the direction of the maximum position, the spring element 7 exerts a force on the length compensation element 4 in this direction.

Die Figur 2a zeigt die Maximalstellung des Längenausgleichselements 4. In dieser Stellung und in weiteren Stellungen, in denen das Längenausgleichselement 4 die Relingstange 1 verlängert, ragt das Längenausgleichselement 4 bereichsweise über das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 hinaus. Der übrige, nicht über das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 hinausragende Bereich des Längenausgleichselements 4 überlappt mit der Relingstange 1.The Figure 2a shows the maximum position of the length compensation element 4. In this position and in other positions in which the length compensation element 4 extends the railing rod 1, the length compensation element 4 protrudes in some areas beyond the end 3 of the railing rod 1. The remaining area of the length compensation element 4 that does not protrude beyond the end 3 of the railing rod 1 overlaps with the railing rod 1.

Ausgehend von dieser Maximalstellung ist das Längenausgleichselement 4 entgegen der Wirkung des Federelements 7 bis zu einer Minimalstellung, in welcher das Längenausgleichselement 4 die Relingstange 1 minimal oder gar nicht verlängert, bewegbar.Starting from this maximum position, the length compensation element 4 can be moved counter to the action of the spring element 7 down to a minimum position in which the length compensation element 4 extends the railing rod 1 minimally or not at all.

Figur 2b zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung 14 aus einer Relingstange 1 gemäß Figur 2a und einem Wandelement 2 in Form einer Frontblende 17 einer Schublade, wobei das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 mit dem Wandelement 2 verbunden ist und zwischen dem Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 und dem Wandelement 2 ein Spalt 6 auftritt, welcher durch das Längenausgleichselement 4 abgedeckt ist. Figure 2b shows a first exemplary embodiment of an arrangement 14 according to the invention from a railing rod 1 according to FIG Figure 2a and a wall element 2 in the form of a front panel 17 of a drawer, with the end 3 of the railing rod 1 being connected to the wall element 2 and a gap 6 occurring between the end 3 of the railing rod 1 and the wall element 2, which gap is covered by the length compensation element 4.

Die Anordnung umfasst einen vom Längenausgleichselement 4 gesonderten Möbelbeschlag 12, welcher einerseits am Wandelement 2 und andererseits an einer vorbestimmten Stellung relativ zur Relingstange 1 an der Relingstange 1 befestigt ist.The arrangement comprises a furniture fitting 12 which is separate from the length compensation element 4 and which is fastened on the one hand to the wall element 2 and on the other hand to the railing rod 1 in a predetermined position relative to the railing rod 1 .

Figur 2c zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung 14 aus einer Relingstange 1 gemäß Figur 2a und einem Wandelement 2 in Form einer Frontblende 17 einer Schublade, wobei das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 mit dem Wandelement 2 verbunden ist und zwischen dem Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 und dem Wandelement 2 ein Spalt 6 auftritt, welcher durch das Längenausgleichselement 4 abgedeckt ist. Figure 2c shows a second exemplary embodiment of an arrangement 14 according to the invention from a railing rod 1 according to FIG Figure 2a and a wall element 2 in the form of a front panel 17 of a drawer, with the end 3 of the railing rod 1 being connected to the wall element 2 and a gap 6 occurring between the end 3 of the railing rod 1 and the wall element 2, which gap is covered by the length compensation element 4.

Gestrichelt angedeutet ist auch eine Rückwand 18 einer Schublade. Bei einer Verbindung der Relingstange 1 mit der Rückwand 18 kann ebenfalls wenigstens ein erfindungsgemäßes Längenausgleichselement 4 in Kombination mit wenigstens einem Federelement 7, welches sich an wenigstens einem feststehenden Teil 8 der Relingstange 1 abstützt, zum Einsatz kommen, um einen in einem verbundenen Zustand der Relingstange 1 mit der Rückwand 18 zwischen dem der Rückwand 18 zugewandten Ende der Relingstange 1 und der Rückwand 18 auftretenden Spalt abzudecken.A rear wall 18 of a drawer is also indicated by dashed lines. When the railing rod 1 is connected to the rear wall 18, at least one length compensation element 4 according to the invention can also be used in combination with at least one spring element 7, which is supported on at least one fixed part 8 of the railing rod 1, in order to keep the railing rod in a connected state 1 with the rear wall 18 between the end of the railing rod 1 facing the rear wall 18 and the rear wall 18 occurring gap.

Die Anordnung 14 gemäß Figur 2c umfasst weiterhin eine Schubladenseitenwand 15, wobei die Relingstange 1 mit einem Abstand 16 über der Schubladenseitenwand 15 angeordnet ist.The arrangement 14 according to Figure 2c also includes a drawer side wall 15, the railing rod 1 being arranged at a distance 16 above the drawer side wall 15.

Die Figuren 3a und 3b zeigen einen Teil einer Schublade 22 mit einer Anordnung aus einer Relingstange 1 und einem Wandelement 2 in Form einer Frontblende 17 gemäß einem dritten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel.The Figures 3a and 3b show part of a drawer 22 with an arrangement of a railing rod 1 and a wall element 2 in the form of a front panel 17 according to a third preferred embodiment.

Die Frontblende 17 umfasst ein Dekorelement 23, beispielsweise aus Glas, welches von einem Halter 24 gehalten wird. Die Schublade 22 kann im konkret dargestellten Fall als Innenschublade in einem Möbel zum Einsatz kommen.The front panel 17 includes a decorative element 23, for example made of glass, which is held by a holder 24. In the concrete case shown, the drawer 22 can be used as an inner drawer in a piece of furniture.

Die Relingstange 1 ist im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen viereckig ausgebildet. Sie ist mit einem ersten Ende 3 mit der Frontblende 17 und mit einem gegenüberliegenden Ende mit der Rückwand 18 verbunden.The railing rod 1 has a substantially quadrangular cross-section. It is connected to the front panel 17 at a first end 3 and to the rear wall 18 at an opposite end.

Die Schublade 22 weist weiterhin eine Schubladenseitenwand 15 auf. Die Relingstange 1 ist mit einem Abstand 16 über der Schubladenseitenwand 15 angeordnet. Zwischen der Relingstange 1 und der Schubladenseitenwand 15 ist ein Dekorelement 33, beispielsweise aus Glas, angeordnet. Das Dekorelement 33 ist von zwei Haltern 25 endseitig gehalten.The drawer 22 also has a drawer side wall 15 . The railing rod 1 is arranged at a distance 16 above the side wall 15 of the drawer. A decorative element 33 , for example made of glass, is arranged between the railing rod 1 and the side wall 15 of the drawer. The decorative element 33 is held by two holders 25 at the ends.

Aufgrund von Toleranzen, zum Beispiel Fertigungstoleranzen oder Toleranzen, welche durch den Zusammenbau der Schublade 22 entstehen können, kann zwischen einem Ende der Relingstange 1 und dem entsprechenden Wandelement 17 oder 18 ein Spalt auftreten, welcher das optische Erscheinungsbild stören kann. Um diesen Spalt abzudecken, umfasst die Relingstange 1 ein Längenausgleichselement 4. Dieses ist im vorliegenden Fall bereichsweise innerhalb der Relingstange 1 angeordnet, und ragt gerade so weit aus der Relingstange 1 heraus, wie dies zur Spaltabdeckung notwendig ist. In der Figur 3a muss, wie der vergrößerte Ausschnitt des Bereichs des Endes 3 der Relingstange 1 zeigt, ein relativ großer Spalt abgedeckt werden. Im Vergleich dazu liegt im Falle der Figur 3b kein Spalt, der abzudecken wäre, vor. Das Längenausgleichselement 4 trägt diesen unterschiedlichen Situationen automatisch Rechnung, indem es unter dem Einfluss des in diesen Figuren nicht sichtbaren Federelements so weit aus der Relingstange 1 heraus bewegt wird, bis es am Wandelement 2 zur Anlage kommt.Due to tolerances, for example manufacturing tolerances or tolerances that can arise from the assembly of the drawer 22, a gap can occur between one end of the railing rod 1 and the corresponding wall element 17 or 18, which can spoil the visual appearance. In order to cover this gap, the railing rod 1 includes a length compensation element 4. In the present case, this is arranged in certain areas within the railing rod 1 and protrudes just as far out of the railing rod 1 as is necessary to cover the gap. In the Figure 3a must, as the enlarged detail of the area of the end 3 of the railing rod 1 shows, a relatively large gap to be covered. In comparison, in the case of Figure 3b no gap to cover. The length compensation element 4 supports these different situations automatically calculated by being moved under the influence of the spring element (not visible in these figures) out of the railing rod 1 until it comes to rest against the wall element 2 .

Figur 4a zeigt eine Relingstange 1 gemäß einem zweiten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel in einer schematischen perspektivischen Ansicht, wobei das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 eingekreist ist. Fig. 4b zeigt die Relingstange 1 gemäß Figur 4a in einer Explosionsdarstellung. Wie man diesen Darstellungen entnehmen kann, weist die Relingstange 1 einen Hohlraum 9 auf. Das Längenausgleichselement 4 ist bereichsweise in dem wenigstens einen Hohlraum 9 angeordnet. Figure 4a shows a railing rod 1 according to a second preferred embodiment in a schematic perspective view, with the end 3 of the railing rod 1 being circled. Figure 4b shows the railing rod 1 according to FIG Figure 4a in an exploded view. As can be seen from these representations, the railing rod 1 has a cavity 9 . The length compensation element 4 is arranged in regions in the at least one cavity 9 .

In die Relingstange 1 ist weiterhin eine Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 für einen am Wandelement 2 der Schublade zu montierenden und vom Längenausgleichselement 4 gesonderten Möbelbeschlag 12 integriert. Diese Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 umfasst ein erstes Teil 26 und ein zweites Teil 27.A fastening device 19 for a furniture fitting 12 to be mounted on the wall element 2 of the drawer and separate from the length compensation element 4 is also integrated into the railing rod 1 . This fastening device 19 comprises a first part 26 and a second part 27.

Das Längenausgleichselement 4 ist in den Figuren 5a und 5b vergrößert dargestellt. Die Figur 5a zeigt darüber hinaus die beiden Teile 26 und 27 der Befestigungsvorrichtung 19.The length compensation element 4 is in the Figures 5a and 5b shown enlarged. The Figure 5a also shows the two parts 26 and 27 of the fastening device 19.

Wie man diesen Figuren entnehmen kann, umfasst das Längenausgleichselement 4 insgesamt vier Federelemente 7 in Form von elastischen Federlappen, wobei zwei dieser Federlappen jeweils über einen Verbindungssteg 28 miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Verbindungsstege 28 verhindern ein Verhaken bei der Montage. Die Federelemente 7 sind am Längenausgleichselement 4 ausgebildet.As can be seen from these figures, the length compensation element 4 comprises a total of four spring elements 7 in the form of elastic spring tabs, with two of these spring tabs being connected to one another via a connecting web 28 . These connecting webs 28 prevent snagging during assembly. The spring elements 7 are formed on the length compensation element 4 .

Das Teil 26 der Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 ist im montierten Zustand am Teil 27 befestigt, wobei das Teil 27 wiederum an einer Innenwand der Relingstange 1 befestigt ist. Am Teil 26 sind zwei Abstützkonturen ausgebildet, an denen sich die Federelemente 7 abstützen. Diese Abstützkonturen bilden also feststehende Teile 8 der Relingstange 1, an welchen sich die Federelemente 7 abstützen. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die feststehenden Teile 8 also an einem im Inneren der Relingstange 1 angeordneten Einsatz ausgebildet.The part 26 of the fastening device 19 is fastened to the part 27 in the assembled state, the part 27 in turn being fastened to an inner wall of the railing rod 1 . On Part 26, two support contours are formed on which support the spring elements 7. These support contours thus form stationary parts 8 of the railing rod 1, on which the spring elements 7 are supported. In the present case, the stationary parts 8 are therefore formed on an insert arranged inside the railing rod 1 .

Weiterhin ist eine Führung 13, 20 zur Führung des Längenausgleichselements 4 bei einer Bewegung relativ zur Relingstange 1 vorgesehen. Im konkret dargestellten Fall ist die Führung durch zwei gegenüberliegende Führungsstege 20 realisiert, welche mit korrespondierenden Konturen 13 zusammenwirken. Die Führungsstege 20 sind am Längenausgleichselement 4 ausgebildet, wohingegen die korrespondierenden Konturen 13 an der Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 ausgebildet sind.Furthermore, a guide 13, 20 for guiding the length compensation element 4 during a movement relative to the railing rod 1 is provided. In the specifically illustrated case, the guidance is realized by two opposing guide webs 20 which interact with corresponding contours 13 . The guide webs 20 are formed on the length compensation element 4, whereas the corresponding contours 13 are formed on the fastening device 19.

Weiterhin sind Anschläge 11, 21 zur Begrenzung der Bewegung des Längenausgleichselement 4 relativ zur Relingstange 1 vorgesehen. Im konkret dargestellten Fall weist einerseits das Längenausgleichselement 4 Anschläge 21 auf, welche mit Anschlägen 11 zusammenwirken, welche an der Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 ausgebildet sind.Furthermore, stops 11, 21 are provided to limit the movement of the length compensation element 4 relative to the railing rod 1. In the specifically illustrated case, on the one hand the length compensation element 4 has stops 21 which interact with stops 11 which are formed on the fastening device 19 .

Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass das Teil 26 der Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 zwei Federelemente 29 umfasst, welche der Befestigung eines am Wandelement 2 der Schublade zu montierenden und vom Längenausgleichselement 4 gesonderten Möbelbeschlags 12 dienen.It should also be pointed out that the part 26 of the fastening device 19 comprises two spring elements 29 which serve to fasten a furniture fitting 12 which is to be mounted on the wall element 2 of the drawer and is separate from the length compensation element 4 .

Die Figuren 6a und 6b zeigen die drei in das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 eingesetzten Bauteile 4, 26 und 27 im montierten Zustand, und zwar in zwei verschiedenen Stellungen des Längenausgleichselements 4. In der Stellung gemäß Figur 6a ragt das Längenausgleichselement 4 weniger weit aus der Relingstange 3 heraus als in der Stellung gemäß Figur 6b. In diesen Figuren ist zur Orientierung jeweils das Ende 3 der Relingstange 1 vergrößert dargestellt (vergleiche den eingekreisten Bereich der Relingstange gemäß der Figur 4a).The Figures 6a and 6b show the three components 4, 26 and 27 inserted into the end 3 of the railing rod 1 in the assembled state, specifically in two different positions of the length compensation element 4. In the position according to FIG Figure 6a the length compensation element 4 protrudes less far out of the railing rod 3 than in the position according to FIG Figure 6b . In these figures, the end 3 of the railing rod 1 is shown enlarged for orientation (compare the circled area of the railing rod according to FIG Figure 4a ).

Wie man sehen kann, stößt sich das Längenausgleichselement 4 über die Federelemente 7 an den feststehenden Teilen 8 der Relingstange 1 ab, und wird dadurch aus der Relingstange 3 hinaus bewegt, und zwar so weit bis das Längenausgleichselement 4 entweder am Wandelement 2 zur Anlage kommt oder bis die Bewegung des Längenausgleichselements 4 durch die in Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 5a und 5b beschriebenen Anschläge 11 und 21 begrenzt wird.As can be seen, the length compensation element 4 repels itself via the spring elements 7 on the fixed parts 8 of the railing rod 1, and is thus moved out of the railing rod 3 until the length compensation element 4 either comes into contact with the wall element 2 or until the movement of the length compensation element 4 by the in connection with the Figures 5a and 5b described stops 11 and 21 is limited.

Die Figuren 7a, 7b und 7c zeigen eine Anordnung 14 aus einer Relingstange 1 und einem Wandelement 2 gemäß einem vierten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel in einer schematischen Querschnittsansicht von der Seite, wobei die Relingstange 1 relativ zum Wandelement 2 drei unterschiedliche Stellungen einnimmt. Diese Stellungen ergeben sich dadurch, dass der Möbelbeschlag 12 mit dem Dübel 31 unterschiedlich tief in die Ausnehmung 32 im Wandelement 2 bei der Montage hineingepresst wird, und das gleichzeitig der Möbelbeschlag 12 an einer vorbestimmten Stellung relativ zur Relingstange 1 durch die Befestigungsvorrichtung 19, vorzugsweise lösbar, befestigt ist. Dadurch ergeben sich unterschiedliche Spalten 6. Durch die Erfindung ist es möglich diese Spalten 6 automatisch abzudecken.The Figures 7a, 7b and 7c show an arrangement 14 of a railing rod 1 and a wall element 2 according to a fourth preferred exemplary embodiment in a schematic cross-sectional view from the side, the railing rod 1 occupying three different positions relative to the wall element 2 . These positions result from the fact that the furniture fitting 12 with the dowel 31 is pressed at different depths into the recess 32 in the wall element 2 during assembly, and at the same time the furniture fitting 12 is in a predetermined position relative to the railing rod 1 by the fastening device 19, preferably releasably , is attached. This results in different columns 6. The invention makes it possible to cover these columns 6 automatically.

Die Stellung gemäß Figur 7a entspricht im Wesentlichen der Minimalstellung des Längenausgleichselements 4, in welcher das Längenausgleichselement 4 die Relingstange 1 minimal oder gar nicht verlängert, wohingegen die Stellung gemäß Figur 7c im Wesentlichen der Maximalstellung des Längenausgleichselements 4, in welcher das Längenausgleichselement 4 die Relingstange 1 maximal verlängert, entspricht. Der Abstand 10 zwischen der Maximalstellung und der Minimalstellung beträgt zwischen 1 mm und 3 mm, vorzugsweise 1,5 mm und 2 mm.The position according to Figure 7a corresponds essentially to the minimum position of the length compensation element 4, in which the length compensation element 4 extends the railing rod 1 minimally or not at all, whereas the position according to FIG Figure 7c corresponds essentially to the maximum position of the length compensation element 4, in which the length compensation element 4 extends the railing rod 1 to a maximum. The distance 10 between the maximum position and the minimum position is between 1 mm and 3 mm, preferably 1.5 mm and 2 mm.

Der Möbelbeschlag 12 wird über die zuvor in Zusammenhang mit der Figur 5a erwähnten Federelemente 29 durch die Befestigungsvorrichtung 19 befestigt. Sie wirken mit einer Rastkontur 30 zusammen, welche am Möbelbeschlag 12 ausgebildet ist.The furniture fitting 12 is above in connection with the Figure 5a mentioned spring elements 29 attached by the fastening device 19. They interact with a latching contour 30 which is formed on the furniture fitting 12 .
