Description

Piece of furniture, especially a closet

The invention relates to an item of furniture, in particular in the form of a cabinet.

Pieces of furniture, especially in the form of a (lockable) cabinet, are used to store objects. A common problem is the choice of furniture. Buyers often have the problem that the piece of furniture they buy does not meet all requirements or that the requirements change over time. Retrofitting solutions for pieces of furniture to expand functionality often do not exist. As a result, a new piece of furniture has to be bought and the old piece of furniture usually has no other use. The present invention would like to retrofit a piece of furniture in the form of a cabinet with a corresponding closure flap in order to safely store Ge objects inside the cabinet.

In the prior art there are a large number of lockable cabinets, but all of them have the disadvantage that the side walls have to be prepared in the manufacture position for the inclusion of a corresponding guide system of a closure flap. Grooves are often milled directly into which the bolt of the closure flap will later be guided. Subsequent introduction of these grooves is not possible. The use of such a cabinet without a closure flap is also not very aesthetically pleasing, because the grooves are visible. From DE 10 2011 109 552 B4 a fitting system is known which is pressed into a side wall of a cabinet. The fitting system then provides corresponding guide grooves in which guide pins of the closure flap can be guided. Nothing else applies to EP 2 131 125 B1, which also requires the introduction of corresponding grooves. A similarly complicated structure can also be found in EP 1 528 212 B1. Nothing else applies to DE 203 07 207 U1, which also provides for the complex use of a rail system for guiding corresponding pins of the closure flap. DE 202 09 103 U1 also describes a very complicated guide system for a closure flap on a cabinet.

The disadvantage of the prior art cited is therefore that the closure flaps shown cannot be retrofitted into a cabinet system.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to create a piece of furniture, in particular in the form of a cabinet, which allows the simplest possible retrofitting with a closure flap.

The object is achieved by the piece of furniture according to independent claim 1. In the dependent claims, advantageous developments of the piece of furniture are described. The piece of furniture, which is in particular a cabinet or cabinet system, comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a rear wall, a base arrangement and a cover arrangement. These elements limit a recording space. Instead of a first and a second side wall, one could also speak of a left and right side wall. An opening is formed between the first and second side walls. Furthermore, a closure flap is provided which can be moved between an open position and a closed position. The receiving space of the piece of furniture is accessible in the open position via the opening. In the closed position of the closing flap, the opening is closed by the closing flap. The closure flap comprises a first and a second guide device. There are also a first and a second hanging frame provided. The first hanging frame is on an upper one Front side of the first side wall. The upper end faces in the direction of the lid assembly. The second hanging frame rests on an upper face of the second side wall, which also points in the direction of the Deckelan arrangement. The first guide device is arranged in the area of a first side of the closure flap and is in mechanical contact with the first hanging frame over the entire movement path of the closure flap, that is, from the open position to the closed position. The same applies to the second guide device. This second guide device is arranged in the region of a second side of the closure flap. The second side of the closure flap is opposite the first side of the closure flap. The second guide device is again in mechanical contact with the second suspension frame over the entire path of movement of the closure flap, that is, from the open position to the closed position. The wording "mechanical contact" means that the closure flap is held and / or guided on the respective first or second suspension frame via the respective first and second guide device during its entire movement path.

It is particularly advantageous that a hanging frame is used, which is placed very easily on the upper face of the respective first or second side wall. The respective first or second side wall itself does not otherwise have to be mechanically prepared in order to be able to interact with a corresponding closure flap.

It is therefore very easy to retrofit a cabinet. All you have to do is purchase the locking flap together with the first or second hanging frame. The hanging frames are simply placed or hung on the respective first or second side wall and are used immediately to hold or guide the closure flap.

Such a retrofitting is not possible in the prior art. Extensive work on the side walls has to be carried out here. Undoing these changes is not possible in the prior art, please include.

In a preferred development, the first and / or second suspension frame comprises a support section, which is on the upper end face of the respective first and second side wall rests. This support section is preferably along the predominant length of the end face on this. The support section is preferably continuous. The support section could, however, also comprise one or more support segments, with several support segments being separated from one another, so that the support section does not run continuously, that is, not without interruption. The support section could optionally also overlap the respective end face and extend along an outer side of the respective first or second side wall. The respective first and / or second suspension frame also include a contact section. The contact section extends from the respective Auflageab section in the direction of the floor arrangement and ends at a distance from this floor arrangement within the receiving space. The contact section rests against an inside of the first or second side wall. The side wall is free of corresponding engagement openings into which the system section dips. The first and / or second suspension frame furthermore comprises an engagement device which is arranged on the contact section in the region of the opening. In particular, this engagement device is arranged less than 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm or less than 2 cm from the opening. The engagement device extends into the receiving space. An angle between the engagement device and the contact section is preferably 90 °.

Deviations from this are permitted. However, these should preferably be less than 20 °, 15 °, 10 ° or less than 5 °. The engagement device is then designed to engage in the first or second guide device of the closure flap. This establishes mechanical contact (e.g. holding and / or guiding).

The engagement device is preferably a cylinder-shaped projection or a pin. A pin can have a cross-sectional shape that deviates from a round cross-sectional shape (cylindrical projection). This also includes an engagement bolt.

In a further embodiment, the first and / or second hanging frame comprise a support web. This support web is formed on the respective plant section (preferably in one piece) and extends in the direction of the receiving space. The support web forms an angle of approximately 90 ° towards the contact section. Deviations from this are possible (preferably wise less than 20 °, 15 °, 10 °, 5 °). The support bar extends preferably by less than 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm or less than 2 cm into the receiving space. It preferably extends more than 0.5 cm or 1 cm into the receiving space. The support web is designed to hold the closure flap in the open position in the area of the first or second side.

The support web preferably runs in a plane that is parallel to the floor arrangement. The support web could also be inclined. Preferably it would be inclined with respect to its course towards the rear wall in the direction of the floor arrangement. The support web is preferably designed to be uninterrupted. However, it could also have interruptions. The thickness of the support web is preferably constant. However, it could also change over its length.

In a further embodiment, the support web of the first and / or second hanging frame is at a greater distance from the cover arrangement than the engagement device. The closure flap therefore rests on the support web. The inner side of the closure flap could rest directly on the support web. It could, however, also rest with its first or second guide device on the support web of the first or second suspension frame.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the respective support web of the first or second hanging frame is arranged at a greater distance from the opening of the piece of furniture than the engagement device of the first or second hanging frame. As a result, the closure flap can be closed particularly easily because it does not get stuck on the support web in the rotary movement (from the open position to the closed position and back).

In another exemplary embodiment, the respective support web of the first or second suspension frame comprises a stop section. This stop section is arranged at the end of the respective support web that points closer in the direction of the rear wall. The stop section runs from the respective support web in the direction of the cover arrangement (and preferably ends at a distance from the cover arrangement). The stop section runs further preferably at an angle of 90 ° to the support web. Deviations from this are possible (preferably less than 20 °, 15 °, 10 °, 5 °). This stop section is used to position the first or second A hanging frame in the piece of furniture. As soon as the first or second suspension frame is correctly positioned, the stop section rests against an inside of the rear wall.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the respective support web of the first or second hanging frame extends over more than 50%, 60% or more than 70%, but preferably over less than 95%, 90%, 85% or less than 80% of the Length of the first or second hanging frame. This ensures that the closing flap is held stable, but at the same time there is no blocking of the closing movement or opening movement by the respective support web.

So that the first or second hanging frame are held as stable as possible on the first or second side wall, the first or second hanging frame preferably also comprise a front contacting section. The front contacting section engages around the front end face of the first or second side wall and rests against this front end face. In addition or as an alternative to this, the first or second suspension frame comprises a contact-making section towards the rear. This rear contacting section rests over part of the length of the left or right end face of the rear wall against precisely that left or right end face. The respective rear contacting section runs vertically (downwards) that is, in the direction of the floor arrangement. This ensures that the first or second hanging frame is held in position.

In a further exemplary embodiment, an additional fastening solution for the first and second support frames is described. It is proposed that at least one support rod (preferably two support rods) are provided. The at least one support rod is attached to the first and to the second trailer frame, so that these suspension frames support one another and cannot fall into the receiving space. The at least one support rod is preferably arranged on the contact section of the first hanging frame and on the contact section of the second hanging frame. As a result, both contact sections are in the direction of the inside the respective first or second side wall pressed. The at least one support rod extends between the lid arrangement and the closure flap when the closure flap is in the open position.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the fastening of the support rod is explained in more detail. The contact section of the first or second suspension frame comprises a holding device. The holding device comprises an at least partially circumferential wall which extends in the direction of the receiving space and which delimits a holding space. This holding space is geöff net at least in the direction of the respective opposite hanging frame, so that a first or second end of the support rod is arranged in this holding space and is held by the circumferential wall. The surrounding wall can be slotted so that the individual wall segments have resilient or elastic properties. It can also be opened in a further direction (preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support rod), the support rod being able to be removed via this further opening. An angle between the holding device and the contact section is preferably 90 °. The support rod is preferably made of plastic. You could also consist of a metal. It also preferably has a round cross section. Different cross-sectional shapes (e.g. triangular, square, n-angular, oval, etc.) are possible.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the first and second suspension frames are constructed in one piece. The first or second hanging frame preferably comprise or consist of plastic. For example, they can be manufactured using a plastic injection molding process.

In a further embodiment, the first and the second support frame could also be formed together in one piece. In this case, the first and the second support frame could be connected to one another via one or more connecting webs. The one or more connecting webs would then take on the task of at least one support rod. The connecting webs would preferably run directly below the cover arrangement or rest against it.

In a further embodiment, the first and second suspension frames are screw-free and / or adhesive-free and / or press-free on the first or second suspension frame. Second side wall mounted additionally and alternatively, it is possible that the first or second hanging frame can be removed from the first or second side wall without leaving any traces, because no processing of the respective first or second side wall is necessary.

For this reason, the first or second side wall is in particular free of a groove for guiding the closure flap or for fastening the first or second side frame. In a further exemplary embodiment, the first or second guide device comprises a guide groove. In the open position of the closing flap, this guide groove opens in the direction of the first or second side wall and is designed to accommodate the engagement device of the first or second hanging frame.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the guide groove of the first or second guide device is arranged in a first or second (lateral) end face of the closure flap. This groove can be created by a milling process. A corresponding metal fitting, which encompasses the groove, could also be pressed into the end face. Before pressing in, however, a corresponding recess should preferably be created. Such a fitting, which in particular consists of metal or comprises metal, could also be glued in place. The fitting could also be made of plastic. Alternatively, the guide groove of the first or second guide device could be arranged in a separate first or second housing arrangement. This first or second housing arrangement is then fastened to an inside of the closure flap (in the area of its left or right side) be. Such a fastening can take place, for example, by means of an adhesive connection or a screw connection. A clip connection would also be possible.

Another exemplary embodiment explains that the guide groove of the first or second guide device runs exclusively along a straight line. Curved gradients should be avoided. Such a geradli niger course applies in particular to the sections of the guide groove in which the engagement device of the first or second suspension frame is located during a movement of the closure flap from the open position into the closed position and moved back. In a further exemplary embodiment, the guide groove of the first or second guide device comprises two closed ends. In the closed position of the closure flap, the guide groove of the first or second guide device is closed in the direction of the cover arrangement or the base arrangement. This prevents the engagement device of the first or second suspension frame from disengaging from the respective first or second guide device. Another exemplary embodiment explains that the first or second guide device has an insertion opening through which the respective guide groove is accessible. The insertion opening is preferably arranged at 90 ° to the (regular) opening of the guide groove, via which the engagement device engages in the groove. This additional insertion opening is directed in the direction of the floor arrangement in the open position of the closure flap or shortly before the opening position of the closure flap is reached. The engaging device of the first or second suspension frame can be introduced into the respective guide groove via this Einführöff voltage. In principle, it would be possible that the engagement device on its free

The end has a widened section, and that the respective guide groove has such an opening width over its length that the widened section of the engagement device cannot be removed. This could only be removed from the guide groove in the area of the insertion opening.

Another exemplary embodiment explains that the insertion opening of the first guide device and the insertion opening of the second guide device are arranged at different distances from the rear wall in the open position of the closure flap. This prevents the flap from being accidentally removed completely. Because the respective engagement devices of the first and second suspension frame would have to jump out of their respective guide groove at different times during the opening movement. The insertion opening of the first or second guide device is preferably located at the end of the respective guide groove at which the handle device is arranged when the closure flap is almost completely (but preferably not completely) open. This prevents the engagement device from accidentally jumping out of the first or second guide device (and thus the respective guide groove) during the closing process, that is to say when the closure flap is rotated.

A preferred embodiment also describes the use of a first and / or second door stop. The first door stopper is arranged in the area of the first side wall and the floor arrangement and the second door stopper is arranged in the area of the second side wall and the floor arrangement. In particular, the first and second door stoppers are each arranged in the transition of their respective side wall and the floor arrangement. The first and second door stoppers respectively comprise a stop section with a flap stop surface. This flap stop surface is arranged in the area of the opening of the piece of furniture (preferably less than 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm but preferably more than 0.5 cm from the opening). In the closed position, the closure flap can be brought into contact with the flap stop surface of the first or second door stop. This prevents the closure flap from rotating further into the receiving space and from assuming an angle of approx. 90 ° to the floor arrangement in the closed position.

Another exemplary embodiment explains that the first or second door stop comprises a resting surface. The resting surface is introduced between the first or second side wall and the floor arrangement. This means that the first or second side wall rests on this resting surface. The first and second door stoppers also include an abutment section. The plant section extends from the resting surface in the direction of the cover assembly and ends at a distance from this. The contact section of the first or second door stopper rests against an inner side of the first or second side wall within the receiving space.

The stop section of the first or second door stopper is arranged on the contact section in the region of the opening and extends in the direction of the receiving space. The stop section preferably forms an angle of 90 ° to the contact section. In order to ensure that the first and second door stoppers are held in position invariably in the area of their respective first or second side wall and the floor arrangement, the first and second door stoppers preferably comprise a front contacting section. The front con tacting section engages around the front end face of the first or second side wall and rests over part of the length on the front end face. Additionally or alternatively, the first or second door stopper comprise a rear contacting section. The rear contacting section is preferably vertical (from the bottom arrangement in the direction of the Deckelanord voltage). The rear contacting section rests over part of the length of the left or right end face of the rear wall against precisely this left or right end face.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the first and second door stoppers are constructed in one piece. The first or second door stop preferably comprise or consist of plastic. For example, they can be produced in a plastic injection molding process.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the first and the second door stoppers could also be designed in one piece together. In this case, the first and the second door stop could be connected to one another via one or more connecting webs. As a result, they could still support each other. The connecting webs would preferably rest on the floor arrangement, for example a shelf could also be arranged above it.

Another exemplary embodiment describes that the closure flap has a lock device. The lock device can be in a closed state or in an open state. In the closed state, the closure flap cannot be opened in the closed position. The lock device can comprise a lock which can be opened with a key. A combination lock or a radio lock (e.g. RFID) can also be used.

Another exemplary embodiment describes that the lock device comprises a locking rod arrangement. In the closed state, the locking rod arrangement is in engagement with a lock stop surface of the first and / or second door stop can be brought. The lock stop surface of the first and / or second door stop points in the direction of the rear wall, so that opening the closure flap (turning the closure flap) is not possible because the locking rod arrangement then hits the lock stop surface. It would also be possible for the lock stop surface to be formed by an opening in the contact section of the first or second door stop. This opening would in particular be brought into a corresponding projection.

This lock stop surface of the first or second door stop can be formed by the stop section of the first or second door stop, which also has the flap stop surface. The lock stop surface can, however, also be formed by a further stop section which is arranged closer to the rear wall than the stop section with the flap stop surface.

In the closed state, preferably neither the rear wall nor the left and right side walls or the closing flap can be removed. This is particularly due to the fact that all elements in this state block each other when it comes to removal. Thus, the first and second side walls and the rear wall can in particular only be removed by being pushed or folded or tilted into the receiving space. Folding in or pressing in or tilting in the rear wall is, however, prevented by the first and second hanging frame and optionally by the first and second door stopper. The folding in or pressing in or tilting in of the first and second side walls is prevented in particular by the at least one support rod. The first and second guide devices of the closure flap can only be released from the engagement device of the respective first or second suspension frame in a certain position. This position is just not reached in the closed state, especially since the locking rod arrangement in particular additionally counteracts such removal.

In a further exemplary embodiment, the piece of furniture also comprises a first front and a first rear vertically extending column and a second front and a second rear vertically extending column. The first side wall is then arranged between the first front and first rear pillars. The second side wall is arranged between the second front and the second rear pillar. The rear wall is positioned between the first rear and second rear pillars. The opening is then located between the first and second front pillars. The pillars preferably have a square cross-section. The first front and the first rear vertically extending column is preferably aligned such that the side surfaces of the respective vertically extending column are aligned at 45 ° with respect to the side surfaces (outside, inside) of the first side wall and the rear wall. The same applies to the second front and the second rear vertical column. These are preferably also aligned in such a way that the side surfaces of the second front and the second rear vertical column are aligned at 45 ° with respect to the side surfaces (inside, outside) of the second side wall and the rear wall. In principle, columns could also be provided which have a completely different orientation and cross-sectional shape.

Another embodiment describes the attachment of the rear wall in this case. The back wall can be attached without screws or glue. In this case, the rear wall has a receiving slot at each corner (four corners), which extends from the respective corner into the two adjoining end faces. In each corner there is a holding element (one inserted), which is preferably designed in one piece. The holding element comprises two holding surfaces protruding from the end face, that is to say protruding away from them. The holding surfaces of each holding element run parallel but in different planes to one another. A first holding element rests with its first Hal tefläche on the side surface of the first rear column, which points in the direction of the receiving space (because rotated by 45 °). The first holding element rests with its second holding surface on an outside of the cover arrangement. In contrast, the second holding element rests with its first holding surface on the side surface of the first rear column which points in the direction of the receiving space. The second holding element rests with its second holding surface on an outer side of the floor arrangement. The third holding element, on the other hand, rests with its first holding surface on the side surface of the second rear column which points in the direction of the receiving space. The third holding element rests with its second holding surface on an outside of the cover arrangement. The fourth holding element lies with its first holding surface on the side surface of the second rear pillar pointing in the direction of the recording room. The fourth Hal teelement rests with its second holding surface on an outside of the floor arrangement. The outsides are visible from outside the furniture. This allows the rear panel to be inserted very easily. It is inserted obliquely into the receiving space of the piece of furniture, so that the second and fourth holding elements come into position in order to then just be aligned to who. Thereafter, the first and the third holding element also come into engagement with the respective column and the side surface of the cover arrangement. The retaining elements ensure that the rear wall centers itself. Corresponding holding elements could also be introduced in the corners of the respective first and second side walls. The retaining elements of the first side wall then come into contact with the lid assembly, the floor assembly and the first front and first rear pillars. The retaining elements of the second side wall then come into contact with the cover assembly, the base assembly and the second front and second rear columns. In this case, the respective first or second hanging frame does not cover the corner area of the first or second side wall.

A cover arrangement preferably comprises all structures above the respective side wall or rear wall. It can be a wooden insert that is, for example, still supported by a holding device, e.g. made of metal. The same can also apply to the floor arrangement. The lid arrangement and the base arrangement do not have to be formed in one piece, but can NEN. Both the base assembly and the cover assembly can also consist of a single (wooden) plate. In addition to a base, the floor arrangement can also comprise a corresponding shelf.

Various exemplary embodiments of the invention are described below by way of example with reference to the drawings. The same items have the same reference numerals. The corresponding figures in the drawings show in detail:

FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D: different states of the closing flap, between an open position and a closed position; and

FIGS. 8A, 8B: different exemplary embodiments of a door stop.

Figures 1 and 2 show the piece of furniture 1 according to the invention. In the exemplary embodiment, it is a free-standing cabinet. The Mö belstück 1 could, however, also be part of a shelving system. This includes, for example, a corresponding shelf compartment. The piece of furniture 1 comprises a first side wall 2 and a second side wall 3, as well as a rear wall 4, a base arrangement 5 and a cover arrangement 6. In the drawings, the base arrangement 5 is shown without a corresponding compartment base. These delimit a receiving space 8. An opening 7 is provided between the first and second side walls 2, 3, through which the receiving space 8 is accessible. A closure flap 10 is also provided, which between an open position (FIG. 2), in which the receiving space 8 is accessible from outside the piece of furniture 1, and a closed position (FIG. 1), in which the opening 7 is closed by the closure flap 10, is movable back and forth. FIGS. 3A and 3B show further views of the item of furniture 1 with the cover assembly 6 removed. A first hanging frame 20 and a second hanging frame 21 can be seen here.

The wording “first” can also be understood as “left” with a plan view of the opening 7. The wording "second" can also be understood as "right" with a plan view of the opening 7. The first hanging frame 20 rests on an upper end face 2a of the first side wall 2. This upper end face 2a extends in the direction of the cover assembly 6. The second A hanging frame 21, however, rests on an upper end face 3a of the second Be tenwand 3, which also shows in the direction of the cover assembly 6.

In order to be able to open and close the closure flap 10, it comprises a first guide device 11 (see, for example, FIG Hanging frame 20 is available. There is also a second guide device 12, which is arranged in the region of a second side of the closure flap 10 and is in mechanical contact with the second hanging frame 21 over the entire movement path of the closure flap 10. The guide devices 11 and 12 are shown in particular in FIG. FIGS. 6A and 6B show further embodiments of the first and second guide devices 11, 12, respectively.

Figures 4A, 4B and 4C describe the structure of the first and second suspension frame 20, 21. In the figures, the second (right) suspension frame 21 is shown. The first hanging frame 20 comprises a corresponding mirrored structure. The reference symbols for the individual parts of the second suspension frame 21 are identical to those of the first suspension frame 20. The same reference symbols are therefore used.

The first and second hanging frame 20, 21 comprise a support portion 22 which rests on the respective upper end face 2a, 3a of the first and second Be tenwand 2, 3. There is also a contact section 23, which extends from the support section 22 in the direction of the floor arrangement 5 (eg for preferably less than 8 cm, 7 cm, 6 cm, 5 cm or less than 4 cm) and ends at a distance from it. The contact section 23 runs on one Inner side 2b or 3b of the first and second side wall 2, 3. Furthermore, an engagement device 24 is provided, which is arranged on the contact section 23 in the loading area of the opening 7 and extends in the direction of the receiving space 8. This engagement device 24 is designed to engage in the respective first or second guide device 11, 12 of the closure flap 10.

The engagement device 24 of the first or second suspension frame 20, 21 is, for example, in the form of a pin. It can be, for example, a cylindrical projection or a pin. The free end of the water engagement device 24 can be widened with respect to an intermediate piece. The engaging device 24 preferably also widens in the direction of the contact section 23. This increases the robustness of the engaging device 24 and optimum force dissipation takes place.

The first and second suspension frames 20, 21 also include a support web 25 which is molded onto the contact section 23 (in particular in one piece) and extends in the direction of the receiving space 8. The support web 25 is preferably arranged in the area of the first or second hanging frame 20, 21 which is arranged closest to the floor arrangement 5. The support web 25 is designed to hold the closure flap 10 in the open position in the region of its first or second side. This also facilitates guidance.

The support web 25 is at a greater distance from the cover arrangement 6 than the engagement device 24. The engagement device 24 can be attached to one end of the support web 25, which is arranged in particular in the region of the opening 7.

The engagement device 24 preferably protrudes the same distance into the receiving space 8 as the support web 25. The engagement device 24 could also protrude further or less further into the receiving space 8 than the support web 25.

The support web 25 of the first or second hanging frame 20, 21 preferably comprises a stop section 26. This stop section 26 extends from the support web 25 in the direction of the cover assembly 6 or the Support section 22. The closure flap 10 could preferably be brought into contact with this stop section 26 in the open position. Preferably, however, the closure flap 10 cannot be brought into contact with this stop section 26. Rather, the stop section 26 serves to position the first or second hanging frame 20, 21 in the cabinet. The stop section 26 rests against an inside of the rear wall 4 and serves as a stop for the first or second hanging frame 20, 21 when it is positioned on the respective first or second side wall 2, 3.

The first and second hanging frame 20, 21 comprise a front contacting section 27.
