Vertical and horizontal regulation device for drawers FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a vertical and horizontal regulation device for drawers of modules or furniture of which have a regulation body fixed to the drawer and means for regulating the relative position of the drawer.

STATE OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE

At present and as a reference to the state of the art, it is usual and known in drawer control devices the use of mechanisms composed of different elements to be able to modify the relative position of the drawer with respect to the guides on which it is going to support, to get a correct alignment of the front of the drawer in the module or furniture. In addition, about the mentioned drawer regulation devices, some systems that perform vertical regulation are known, which are located both in the front and in the rear of the drawer, as described in EP2476340.

These models present in the market, have certain drawbacks. On the one hand, there is the fact that they consist of a large number of elements, which makes it difficult to install them in the back of the drawer and / or in the guide, and increases the probability of failure of the mechanism that allows the regulation of the position of the drawer , being a large number of elements in a complex system. On the other hand, sometimes the assembly of the rear adjustment device in the drawer and / or in the guide requires tools that present difficulties in accessing the area in which they are to be used, since it is usual to use screws or similar, which may require large tools. There are also models that incorporate a vertical extension in the form of “L” or “U” that insert only one side into the regulating body, which weakens the grip between the regulating body and the guide.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION AND ADVANTAGES

Faced with this state of affairs, the present invention refers to a vertical and horizontal regulation device for drawers, in which its regulation body contains a vertical groove capable of receiving the vertical flat extension of the guide slide, from which The bonding bolt exits with this regulation body incorporating said regulation body respective vertical regulation spindle and horizontal regulation spindle.

Thanks to this configuration, the mechanism to make the connection between the guide slide and the drawer is simplified. By means of a device with a very small number of elements, a solid connection between the drawer and the guide is achieved. In addition, it allows the possibility of modifying the relative position of the drawer with respect to the guide both vertically and horizontally through a single adjustment device, by means of the adjustment spindles it incorporates.

Another feature of the invention is that the guide slide has a vertical flat extension that can be accommodated in the regulating body, which incorporates a vertical regulation spindle linked to the vertical threaded hole of said regulation body and with the spindle tip of vertical adjustment inserted in the slide of the guide.

Thanks to this configuration, it is allowed that by acting on the vertical adjustment spindle, the relative elevation position of the drawer can be modified with respect to the guide, since when rotating on said spindle, which has its tip inserted and fixed in the slide of the guide, the regulating body will ascend or descend, without the vertical adjustment spindle altering its position in height. As a consequence of the vertical movement of the regulating body, the linkage pin to the drawer will move in the same measure, thus modifying the elevation of the drawer, being able to place it correctly in height with respect to the rest of the module or furniture.

Another feature of the vertical and horizontal drawer adjustment device is that the regulating body incorporates a horizontal sliding plate from which the drawer linkage bung emerges, which is related to the horizontal adjustment spindle housed in the horizontal hole of the regulating body through the threaded ring of said horizontal sliding plate.

Thanks to this configuration, it is possible to modify the horizontal position of the linkage pin to the drawer that emerges from the horizontal sliding plate. The rotation of the horizontal adjustment spindle generates the displacement of the horizontal sliding plate through the guided horizontal groove that incorporates the regulation body, since the horizontal sliding plate and the vertical adjustment spindle are linked to each other through the threaded ring of said license plate. Therefore, the drawer will move horizontally depending on the rotation applied to the adjustment spindle

horizontal, because the drawer linkage emerging from the horizontal sliding plate is housed in the cavity at the rear of the drawer.

Another feature of the invention is that both the vertical adjustment spindle and the horizontal adjustment spindle contain a spindle head that can be manually manipulated.

This feature of the invention allows both the elevation and the horizontal position of the drawer to be modified manually, by rotating the vertical adjustment spindle and the horizontal adjustment spindle without using tools.

Finally, another feature of the invention is that both the vertical adjustment spindle and the horizontal adjustment spindle have notches in the front of their spindle heads.

This characteristic of the invention allows both the elevation and the horizontal position of the drawer to be manipulated by means of the relevant tool, as an alternative to the manual manipulation mentioned in previous paragraphs.

As can be seen in figures 1 and 2, this regulation device (1) consists of a regulation body (2), a horizontal sliding plate (7) from which the drawer linking pin (8) emerges, a spindle of vertical regulation (10) and a spindle of horizontal regulation (11). For assembly, the horizontal sliding plate (7) is introduced first by the guided horizontal groove (4) and then fixed through the horizontal adjustment spindle (11), which is threaded to the threaded ring (7a) which incorporates the horizontal sliding plate (7) and has its tip inserted in the horizontal hole (2b) of the regulating body (2). To finish the assembly, the vertical flat extension (6) of the guide slide (5) on which the regulating device (1) is to be mounted through the vertical slot (3) of the regulating body (2) is introduced ) and is adjusted by means of the vertical adjustment spindle (10) that is housed in the threaded vertical hole (2a), with its tip of the vertical adjustment spindle (10a) housed in the guide slide (5).

Figure 3 shows how the connection is made between the regulating device (1) and the drawer (13), by means of the cavity (14) and the drawer linkage pin (8).

Figure 4 shows how the regulation device (1) is located once it has been mounted on the guide slide (5) and the connection with the drawer (13) has been made. Once the regulating device (1) is located in the back of the drawer (13), it is very easy to modify its relative position to place it correctly in the module or furniture.

On the one hand, by acting on the vertical adjustment spindle (10), which has the tip of the vertical adjustment spindle (10a) inserted in the slide of the guide (5), it is achieved that the regulation body (2) is move in height, since said vertical adjustment spindle (10) is linked to the vertical threaded hole (2a) of said regulation body (2). In this way, as the regulating body (2) incorporates the horizontal sliding plate (7) from which the linkage pin to the drawer (8) emerges, all these elements of the regulation device (1) will be displaced in elevation together, and therefore, also the drawer (13), which is connected by the cavity (14) to the regulating device (1) by means of the linkage pin to the drawer (8). Thus, the elevation of the drawer (13) is achieved in coherence with the rest of the module or furniture.

On the other hand, if you act on the horizontal adjustment spindle (11) housed in the horizontal hole (2b) of the regulation body (2), due to the connection of the sliding horizontal plate (7) through its threaded ring (7a) with the horizontal adjustment spindle (11), the horizontal displacement of said horizontal sliding plate (7) is achieved by the guided horizontal groove (4) that incorporates the regulating body (2). As mentioned above, from said horizontal sliding plate (7) emerges the linkage pin to the drawer (8), which provides the connection between the drawer (13) and the regulating device (1), so if the plate Horizontal slider (7) modifies its horizontal position, so will the drawer liner (8) and the drawer (13). In this way, the horizontal position of the front of the drawer (13) can be modified so that it is aligned with the rest of the module or furniture.
