Description

  The present invention relates to furniture walls and in particular furniture of kitchen furniture, comprising at least two vertical profiles connected to each other by a plurality of horizontal profiles.

  There is a chipboard furniture wall that is assembled into the furniture body and screwed together with the fixture. This type of furniture wall has a relatively large mass and needs to be cut by the producer with an exact saw to fit size.

  Furthermore, there are lightweight building boards in which a hollow intermediate layer is provided, for example in the form of a honeycomb board. This kind of lightweight building board has a problem that it is difficult to mount the fixture because the intermediate layer can only receive a compressive load. Furthermore, a border with an integrated support function / support edge has to be applied to the periphery, which is particularly difficult to apply to so-called honeycomb boards.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a furniture wall that has a very low mass and can be manufactured in a flexible size. A modular system is desirable to keep the variability within the furniture factory at a low level. The installer at the construction site prepares "standardized furniture elements" for each function. The perforation opening is cut away from the side wall without the use of tools to provide a recess for the fixture. The mounting of the fixture can then be done in a simple manner.

  This object is achieved by a furniture wall having the features of claim 1.

  The furniture wall according to the present invention comprises at least two vertical profiles connected to each other by a plurality of horizontal profiles, said horizontal profile comprising a headpiece or receiving device on the end side, each headpiece or receiving device having one The vertical profile is fixed and at least one receiving element for fixing the fixture is arranged on each headpiece or each receiving device. As a result, furniture walls can be provided in a relatively stable configuration, since large forces can be absorbed by a frame-like structure having a horizontal profile and a vertical profile. The furniture wall is composed of a lightweight structure because a cavity is arranged between the vertical profile and the horizontal profile, and therefore has a very small mass for the volume of the furniture wall. The cavity can be used as an access to the cable duct, but can also be used as an additional space to accommodate additional devices such as transformers, containers, storage tanks and the like.

  It is also possible to fill the cavity with foam material, which can also form a cover layer on both sides and surface edges, thereby eliminating the need for an additional cover board. Furthermore, the foam material can be used as a decorative element. Furthermore, the foam material can also be used to insulate the interior space of the furniture framework. Thereby, stored items can be protected from inappropriate temperatures. In order to raise or lower the temperature inside the furniture framework, a heat exchanger device can be incorporated into the cavity of the framework structure.

  The horizontal profile is combined with the vertical profile to become the default grid furniture wall, which reflects the later function of the kitchen furniture. The mounting of the fixture is simply done with a headpiece or receiving device each provided with at least one receiving element. A wide variety of combinations are possible as a result of highly variable and invariant configurations. For example, the drawer can be moved in the front area while the revolving door is fixed in the rear area. Furthermore, the intermediate wall can be inserted at any desired location to obtain individual reinforcements within the framework of the skeleton side walls, or to delimit various useful spaces from one another.

  For ease of installation, the at least one receiving element includes a groove in each headpiece into which a mounting plate for a fixture such as a hinge can be inserted. Latch means for securing the fixture can be placed on each headpiece or each receiving device and can therefore be installed without the use of tools. The latching means may comprise a resilient bracket integrally disposed on each headpiece or receiving device. A receiving element can be placed on each side of each headpiece or receiving device, so that various attachments can be mounted on the selected headpiece or receiving device for their respective purposes. The receiving element of the headpiece or receiving device can be covered with a cover, so that each receiving element is opened by removing the cover only when the fitting is attached.

  The vertical profile can be guided through an opening in the headpiece or receiving device for stable support of the furniture wall. Thereby, force due to weight caused, for example, by drawers, hinges or other components can be absorbed on various horizontal profiles. Safety against tilt is provided by guiding the vertical profile through the opening. The vertical profile can comprise latching means to which the headpiece or receiving device can be fixed with corresponding latching means. In that case, the vertical profiles can be attached without the use of tools and can be aligned at equal intervals without the use of measuring means.

  According to one embodiment, end profiles for securing the floor or cover board are provided at the upper end and / or the lower end. The end profile can include at least one groove for sliding within the retention profile, and thus one or more cover boards or floors can be mounted on the end profile. The holding profile is firmly connected with the floor or crosspiece. Furthermore, technical applications such as lighting elements and storage containers can be secured by trapezoidal guides provided outside the end profile.

  Preferably, two mutually spaced leg elements are provided on the bottom side of each furniture wall. The leg element can be secured to one or more head pieces. Preferably, the leg elements are arranged in the form of posts and comprise strips with latching means that can be latched with the headpiece. In that case, the leg elements can be installed and adjusted without the use of tools.

  Preferably, the horizontal profile comprises a receiving element for sliding in the guide rail of the extraction guide. In that case, the guide rail can be held on the headpiece and the horizontal profile, and the receiving element on the horizontal profile preferably surrounds a part of the guide rail in a substantially interlocking manner. The horizontal profile can further include one or more cavities, particularly for receiving cables or other conductors.

  The furniture wall is provided with a coverboard on the side for a visually consistent appearance, which is fixed to a horizontal profile and / or a vertical profile or headpiece. It is also possible to provide one cover board for each of the inside and outside. The surface edge of the furniture board can also be closed with a cover strip. Thereby, the function of the edge band is fulfilled first, but with the use of a snap-on cover strip, further additional functions can be realized. Possible examples are light strips, power supply, power distribution, accommodation of sealing profiles and / or accommodation of holding magnets.

  Modular systems consisting of prefabricated elements can also be used in areas where a high degree of freedom is required, for example in combination with low mass components of mobile homes, mobile houses, aircraft or ship structures. As a result, the wall element can be assembled and prefabricated according to the customer's wishes, after which the wall element can be assembled at the desired location in a simple and quick manner.

  The entire furniture framework for a base unit, tower unit, wall unit or the like can also be made prefabricated and finally installed at the target location. The entire final assembly can be done virtually tool-free by joining and latching the elements. Thus, final assembly on site can be performed in a quick and cost effective manner.

  Furniture comprising a furniture framework having at least two furniture walls according to the invention is also provided by the invention.

  The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the enclosed drawings.
