  • ein quer mit der Schubladenseitenwand zu verbindendes Wandelement, wobei das Wandelement im verbundenen Zustand mit der Schubladenseitenwand eine zur Schubladenseitenwand hin weisende Befestigungsfläche und eine von der Befestigungsfläche abgewandte Anlagefläche aufweist,
  • wenigstens einen vom Wandelement gesonderten Möbelbeschlag zum Verbinden des Wandelementes mit der Schubladenseitenwand, wobei der wenigstens eine Möbelbeschlag mit dem Verriegelungshebel der Verriegelungsvorrichtung der Schubladenseitenwand lösbar verriegelbar ist.
The present invention relates to a drawer assembly comprising:
  • a drawer side wall with a locking device, the locking device of the drawer side wall having a locking lever pretensioned by at least one spring,
  • a wall element to be connected transversely to the drawer side wall, wherein the wall element in the connected state with the drawer side wall has a fastening surface facing the drawer side wall and a contact surface facing away from the fastening surface,
  • at least one furniture fitting separate from the wall element for connecting the wall element to the drawer side wall, the at least one furniture fitting being releasably lockable with the locking lever of the locking device of the drawer side wall.

Im Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Schubladenwand mit wenigstens einer solchen Schubladenanordnung und ferner eine Schublade mit einer derartigen Schubladenanordnung oder mit wenigstens einer Schubladenwand der vorstehend genannten Art.Furthermore, the invention relates to a drawer wall with at least one such drawer arrangement and furthermore a drawer with such a drawer arrangement or with at least one drawer wall of the type mentioned above.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich ferner auf ein Verfahren zum Verbinden eines Wandelementes an einer Schubladenseitenwand einer Schubladenanordnung der in Rede stehenden Art.The invention also relates to a method for connecting a wall element to a drawer side wall of a drawer arrangement of the type in question.

Schubladen mit quer miteinander zu verbindenden Wandelementen sind in der WO 2013/067551 A1 , in der US 4,108,520 A und in der DE 20 2010 007 427 U1 , in der DE 38 01 103 A1 und in der WO 2007/137311 A2 gezeigt.Drawers with wall elements to be connected transversely are in the WO 2013/067551 A1 , in the U.S. 4,108,520 A and in the DE 20 2010 007 427 U1 , in the DE 38 01 103 A1 and in the WO 2007/137311 A2 shown.

Solche Schubladenanordnungen sind vielfach bekannt (z.B. aus der EP 0 740 917 B1 der Anmelderin) und dienen der Befestigung einer Frontblende an Schubladenseitenwänden. Hierfür werden zunächst Bohrungen in die Rückseite der Frontblende eingebohrt, anschließend werden die Möbelbeschläge durch Eindrehen von Schrauben in die vorgebohrten Bohrungen an der Frontblende befestigt. Alternativ können die Möbelbeschläge durch Dübel an der Frontblende befestigt werden, wobei die Dübel innerhalb der Bohrungen der Frontblende aufspreizbar sind. Die Schubladenseitenwände weisen jeweils eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung mit einem bewegbaren und durch eine Feder vorgespannten Verriegelungshebel auf. Die an der Frontblende vormontierten Möbelbeschläge werden bei der Montage der Frontblende in die Stirnseiten der beiden Schubladenseitenwände eingeschoben, wobei die Möbelbeschläge jeweils in eine Kerbe des Verriegelungshebels hinein bewegt werden. Dadurch sind Verriegelungshebel der Schubladenseitenwände auslösbar, sodass die Möbelbeschläge durch die Kraft der Federn in die Schubladenseitenwände eingezogen und die Frontblende gegen die Stirnseite der Schubladenseitenwände anpressbar ist. Nachteilig daran ist, dass die Montage der Möbelbeschläge an den Frontblenden relativ aufwendig ist.Such drawer arrangements are widely known (e.g. from EP 0 740 917 B1 of the applicant) and are used to attach a front panel to the side walls of the drawer. For this purpose, holes are first drilled into the back of the front panel, then the furniture fittings are fastened by screwing screws into the pre-drilled holes on the front panel. Alternatively the furniture fittings can be attached to the front panel using dowels, the dowels being expandable within the holes in the front panel. The drawer side walls each have a locking device with a movable locking lever pretensioned by a spring. The furniture fittings preassembled on the front panel are pushed into the end faces of the two drawer side walls when the front panel is installed, the furniture fittings each being moved into a notch in the locking lever. As a result, the locking levers of the drawer side walls can be released so that the furniture fittings are drawn into the drawer side walls by the force of the springs and the front panel can be pressed against the face of the drawer side walls. The disadvantage of this is that the assembly of the furniture fittings on the front panels is relatively complex.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Schubladenanordnung der eingangs erwähnten Gattung vorzuschlagen, wobei eine sichere Befestigung des Wandelementes an der Schubladenseitenwand gewährleistet und der Montageaufwand der Möbelbeschläge reduziert wird.The object of the present invention is to propose a drawer arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset, whereby a secure attachment of the wall element to the drawer side wall is ensured and the assembly effort of the furniture fittings is reduced.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass sich der wenigstens eine Möbelbeschlag im verbundenen Zustand des Wandelementes mit der Schubladenseitenwand zumindest bereichsweise an der Anlagefläche des Wandelementes abstützt, sodass das Wandelement durch die Verriegelung des Möbelbeschlages mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung der Schubladenseitenwand an der Schubladenseitenwand gehalten ist.According to the invention it is provided that the at least one furniture fitting in the connected state of the wall element with the drawer side wall is at least partially supported on the contact surface of the wall element, so that the wall element is held on the drawer side wall by locking the furniture fitting with the locking device of the drawer side wall.

Mit anderen Worten kann auf eine Verschraubung eines Möbelbeschlages oder auf eine Befestigung des Möbelbeschlages mittels Dübeln an der Frontblende verzichtet werden, weil sich der Möbelbeschlag im verbundenen Zustand des Wandelementes an einer von der Schubladenseitenwand abgewandten Anlagefläche (vorzugsweise Außenseite) des Wandelementes abstützt und somit das Wandelement, vorzugsweise ausschließlich, durch die Verriegelung des Möbelbeschlages mit der Schubladenseitenwand in Position gehalten wird.In other words, it is possible to dispense with screwing a furniture fitting or fastening the furniture fitting to the front panel by means of dowels, because the furniture fitting is supported in the connected state of the wall element on a contact surface facing away from the drawer side wall (preferably the outside) of the wall element and thus the wall element , preferably held in position by locking the furniture fitting to the side panel of the drawer.

Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Möbelbeschlag das Wandelement zumindest bereichsweise seitlich umgreift. Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Wandelement zumindest eine Aussparung zur Aufnahme des Möbelbeschlages aufweist, wobei der Möbelbeschlag in einem montierten Zustand zumindest bereichsweise an einem Randbereich der Aussparung anliegt und durch die Aussparung des Wandelementes hindurchragt.It can be provided that the furniture fitting laterally encompasses the wall element at least in some areas. Alternatively, it can be provided that the wall element has at least one recess for receiving the furniture fitting, the furniture fitting in an assembled state resting at least in some areas on an edge region of the recess and protruding through the recess of the wall element.

Bei einer konstruktiv einfachen Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Anlagefläche des Wandelementes durch eine Materialstärke des Wandelementes von der Befestigungsfläche des Wandelementes beabstandet ist.In a structurally simple embodiment it can be provided that the contact surface of the wall element is spaced apart from the fastening surface of the wall element by a material thickness of the wall element.

Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Schubladenanordnung wenigstens ein Abdeckelement zur Abdeckung des Wandelementes aufweist, wobei das wenigstens eine Abdeckelement mit dem Wandelement lösbar verbindbar ist. Das kann beispielsweise durch wenigstens eine Schnappverbindung erfolgen, indem das Abdeckelement im verbundenen Zustand mit dem Wandelement durch eine Materialelastizität des Abdeckelementes gehalten ist.According to one embodiment it can be provided that the drawer arrangement has at least one cover element for covering the wall element, the at least one cover element being releasably connectable to the wall element. This can be done, for example, by at least one snap connection, in that the cover element is held in the connected state with the wall element by a material elasticity of the cover element.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Wandelement eine Frontblende der Schublade oder ein Teil einer Frontblende der Schublade.According to a preferred embodiment, the wall element is a front panel of the drawer or part of a front panel of the drawer.

Das Verfahren zum Verbinden eines Wandelementes an einer Schubladenseitenwand einer Schubladenanordnung der in Rede stehenden Art ist durch die folgenden Schritte gekennzeichnet:

  • Bereitstellen des vom Wandelement gesonderten Möbelbeschlages,
  • Verbinden des Möbelbeschlages mit dem Wandelement, wobei sich der Möbelbeschlag im verbundenen Zustand mit dem Wandelement zumindest bereichsweise an der Anlagefläche des Wandelementes abstützt,
  • Verbinden des Möbelbeschlages mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung der Schubladenseitenwand, wobei die Befestigungsfläche des Wandelementes im verbundenen Zustand mit der Schubladenseitenwand zur Schubladenseitenwand hin weist.
