European Patent Publication EP 2 145 562 A1 German Patent Publication DE 203 12304 U1 International Publication WO03 / 024274A1 German Patent Publication DE 20 2008 009396U1

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a drawer that allows simple attachment and simple replacement of decorative elements.

  This object is achieved by a drawer comprising a decorative element having the features of the classification part of claim 1 and a method for attaching the decorative element having the characteristic of the classification part of claim 22.

  It is a decorative element with a design configuration in which the decorative element is moved into the mounting position with the drawer assembled and is held by a force-locking or positive locking connection This is achieved by a holder (mounting element, holding element). In European Patent Publication EP 2 145 562 A1, at least one screw must be tightened or removed for the attachment and removal of the decorative element. In the structure shown in this document, if the drawer is accompanied by a rail member, it must be mounted after the decorative element. As a result, the rail member must be removed when changing the decorative element.

  Other advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the first holder (first holding element) can be in the form of a holding portion between the side wall and the decorative element. Alternatively, if the drawer has a railing strut, the holding part is provided as a single unit between the decorative element and the rail post, or a separate holding part between the side wall and the decorative element Can be provided in combination.

  In that respect, the holding part between the decorative element and the rail post can be provided with a holding tongue that engages the opening of the rail post.

  Further, the retaining tongue can be provided to have a bend of about 90 degrees or greater.

  The opening can be provided in the form of a slot (elongate through hole) whose width substantially corresponds to the width of the holding tongue, the slot being held by movement of the holding tongue A wide portion that allows the tongue to escape from the slot.

  In one preferred embodiment, the retaining tongue can be stopped in the slot by a snap-engagement element.

  The holding portion between the decorative element and the rail post may be provided to include a U-shaped outline that includes the decorative element.

  A holding part between the decorative element and the rail post may be provided with a spring tongue that exerts a force on the decorative element. This helps to stop the decorative element more firmly.

  In a particularly preferred embodiment, the holding part between the side wall and the decorative element is in the form of a tab on the side wall, this tab extending over the entire length of the side wall or the length of the side wall. It extends over a part of the entire length.

  The holding part between the side wall and the decorative element has an abutment so that the front panel can be provided spaced from the end of the decorative element.

  In a particularly preferred embodiment, the holding part between the side wall and the decorative element has two protrusions, whereby the holding part between the side wall and the decorative element can be fixed in a gripped relationship on the decorative element. it can.

  Both the holding portion between the side wall and the decorative element and the holding portion between the decorative element and the rail column can be formed as an integral type.

Also, the first holder may be provided so as to form an opening shafts type spring element is arranged (shaft opening). The spring element may be in the form of a coil spring or a shaped spring. To ensure that easily deploy decorative element to the open mouth of the shafts type, part forming an opening of shafts type, made of an elastic material, or at least partially funnel-shaped structure (funnel configuration). The portion that forms the shaft-shaped opening can be formed as an integral type. Of course, the various configurations described above of the spring element may be provided to be independently disposed within the portion of the first holder forming the shaft-shaped opening . As a matter of fact, the first holder does not necessarily have a portion that forms a shaft-shaped opening . For example, the first holder may be in the form of a clip, in which case a spring element is arranged on this clip.

  The decorative element can be made of glass, wood, transparent plastic or other materials, for example.

  The direction of movement of the spring element substantially corresponds to the direction in which the drawer moves. Since the spring that moves in the moving direction does not impair the capacity of the drawer most, it is possible to use a strong spring (a spring with a large spring constant), which, on the other hand, has no play of the decorative elements, for example. It can have a favorable effect of attachment.

  In the case of a method in which the decorative element is introduced into the plane of the side wall, swiveled there and finally stopped, in addition, the holding part is pre-mounted on the decorative element, Can be provided in a removable state. Furthermore, the holding part can be provided to be fixed to any rail post of the side wall or drawer.

Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the specific description taken in conjunction with the drawings. The description of the drawings is as follows.
