Abstract

The invention relates to a furniture assembly system in which the most important components are knot binding rods (1) and plates (2), especially plates made of derived timber material. The knot binding rods (1) are used to secure the plates (2) together. They preferably take the form of a solid square-section aluminium rod. Near both its faces, each knot binding rod (1) has two threaded through-holes. Each hole runs perpendicularly to two opposite parallel long sides of the binding rod and passes through its longitudinal axis (6). The two frontal apertures can take a special screw (3). The plates (2) are fitted with ordinary commercial attachments (4) into which the downwardly directed screws (3) of the binding rod (1) can be secured by being pushed from the side and subsequently locking the attachment (4).

Description

MOBELBAUSYSTEM MIT KNOTENSTABEN MOBILE CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM WITH NODE BAR
Möbel sollten sich den wechselnden Bedürfnissen der Per¬ sonen, welche sie benutzen, und den wechselnden Raumanforde¬ rungen anpassen lassen.Furniture should be adaptable to the changing needs of the people who use it and the changing space requirements.
Es kann zum Beispiel vorkommen, dass jemand wünscht, seinen Fernseher, welcher vorher auf einem separaten Fernsehtisch¬ chen stand, neu ihn in seine Wohnwand zu stellen. Bei einer herkömmlichen, unveränderbaren Wohnwand war dies nur dann möglich, wenn die Wohnwand bereits ein geeignetes, genügend grosses Fach aufwies. War dies nicht der Fall, war man dazu gezwungen, entweder seine Idee zu vergessen oder dann eine neue Wohnwand zu kaufen.For example, it may happen that someone wishes to re-place his television, which previously stood on a separate television table, in his wall unit. With a conventional, unchangeable wall unit, this was only possible if the wall unit already had a suitable, sufficiently large compartment. If this was not the case, you were forced to either forget your idea or then buy a new wall unit.
Es ist zum Beispiel auch denkbar, dass nach einem Umzug eine Wohnwand in der bisherigen Form nicht in den neuen Raum passt. Sie kann zum Beispiel zu hoch oder zu breit sein, oder eine ungeeignete Form aufweisen. Bei herkömmlichen, unveränderbaren Wohnwänden blieb einem auch in diesem Fall nichts anderes übrig, als eine neue Wohnwand zu kaufen. Die herkömmlichen, unveränderbaren Möbel wurden also dem Bedürfnis der Menschen nach Veränderung nicht gerecht. Man war daher auf der Suche nach Möglichkeiten, um Möbel veränderbar zu gestalten.For example, it is also conceivable that, after moving, a wall unit in the previous form will not fit in the new room. For example, it may be too high or too wide, or it may have an unsuitable shape. With conventional, unchangeable wall units, you had no choice but to buy a new wall unit. The conventional, unchangeable furniture therefore did not meet people's need for change. The company was therefore looking for ways to make furniture changeable.
Gemäss dem heutigen Stand der Technik sind Möbelbausysteme bekannt, welche eine gewisse Veränderung von Möbeln zulas¬ sen. Diese Möbelbausysteme sind aber kompliziert und aufwen¬ dig.According to the current state of the art, furniture construction systems are known which permit a certain change in furniture. However, these furniture construction systems are complicated and expensive.
Es sind Möbelbausysteme bekannt, welche aus einem Tragsystem und einem Einbausystem bestehen. Das Tragsystem wird aus einer Vielzahl von Stäben und Knoten gebildet, welche zu einem tragenden Gerippe zusammengesteckt werden. An diesem Gerippe werden dann die Füllemente des Einbausystems wie Tablare, Seitenwände, Rückwände, Türen, usw. befestigt. Die Füllelemente lassen sich zwar bei diesem System relativ einfach auswechseln. Das Tragsystem kann aber nur mit gros- sem Aufwand verändert werden. Die Verwendung von einem Trag¬ system und einem davon unabhängigen Einbausystem ist ausser- dem unnötig kompliziert und führt zu hohen Herstellungsko¬ sten.Furniture construction systems are known which consist of a support system and an installation system. The support system is made up of a large number of rods and knots, which are put together to form a load-bearing frame. The filler elements of the installation system such as trays, side walls, rear walls, doors, etc. are then attached to this frame. The filling elements are relatively easy to replace with this system. However, the support system can only be changed with great effort. The use of a support system and an installation system independent of it is also unnecessarily complicated and leads to high production costs.
Im weiteren sind Möbelbausysteme bekannt, welche mit ferti¬ gen Modulen arbeiten. Die Module sind würfel- oder quader- för ig. Sie werden aus Platten gebildet, welche auf geeigne¬ te Art und Weise zusammengeschraubt sind. Zur Bildung eines Möbels werden eine Vielzahl von Modulen nebeneinander- oder übereinandergestellt. Die Module sind oft mit Klammern oder Schrauben aneinander fixiert.In addition, furniture construction systems are known which work with finished modules. The modules are cuboid or cuboid. They are formed from plates which are screwed together in a suitable manner. A large number of modules are placed side by side or one above the other to form a piece of furniture. The modules are often fixed together with clamps or screws.
Diese Möbelbausysteme erlauben keine freie Gestaltung, da die einzelnen Module in ihrer Grosse und Form nicht verän¬ derbar sind. Die Module lassen sich zudem nur in einer be¬ stimmten, vorgegebenen Art und Weise zusammenstellen und lassen sich nicht frei kombinieren. Wenn man ein bestehendes Möbel verändern will, muss man es vollständig oder zumindest teilweise demontieren und dann wieder aufbauen. Schliesslich sind noch Möbelbausysteme bekannt, welche als Verbindungselemente für die flächenförmigen Bauelemente Ver¬ bindungsstäbe verwenden. Die Bauelemente werden an ihren Stirnseiten an den Verbindungsstäben fixiert. Solche Verbindungsstäbe wurden in den Patentschriften CH 467 421 (Veröffentlichungsdatum 28.02.1969), DE 34 05 571 (Of- fenlegungstag 22.08.1985) und DE 28 48 523 (Offenlegungstag 31.05.1979) beschrieben.These furniture construction systems do not permit free design, since the size and shape of the individual modules cannot be changed. In addition, the modules can only be put together in a specific, predetermined manner and cannot be freely combined. If you want to change an existing piece of furniture, you have to completely or at least partially dismantle it and then reassemble it. Finally, furniture construction systems are known which use connecting rods as connecting elements for the sheet-like components. The components are fixed to the connecting rods on their end faces. Such connecting rods have been described in the patents CH 467 421 (published on February 28, 1969), DE 34 05 571 (published on August 22, 1985) and DE 28 48 523 (published on May 31, 1979).
Bei den VerbindungsStäben, welche in den Patentschriften DE 28 45 523 und DE 34 05 571 beschrieben wurden, haben die Verbindungsvorrichtungen zur Befestigung der Bauelemente an den Verbindungsstäben die Form von Bolzen, welche recht¬ winklig von den Verbindungsstäben abragen. Die Bolzen werden in Aufnah ebohrungen der Stirnseiten der Bauelemente einge¬ steckt und mit quer zu den Bolzen verlaufenden Schrauben (DE 34 05 571) festgeschraubt oder mit einem geeigneten Kleber (DE 28 45 523) in den Aufnahmebohrungen fixiert. Beim Verbindungsstab, welcher in der Patentschrift CH 467 421 beschrieben ist, haben die Verbindungsvorrichtungen die Form von Dübeln, welche einen Kopfteil und einen Schaftteil aufweisen. Die Dübel sind mit ihren Kopfteilen in eine Öff¬ nung des Verbindungsstabes einsetzbar und anschliessend in diesem befestigbar. Die vom Verbindungsstab abragenden Schaftteile sind in den Aufnahmebohrungen der Bauelemente formschlüssig fixiert. Die Dübel müssen auf umständliche Art und Weise am Verbindungsstab gesichert werden. Zur Sicherung dienen zum Beispiel Sicherungsnadeln, welche quer durch die Kopfteile der Dübel geschoben werden, oder Verriegelungs¬ gabeln, welche die Hälse der Kopfteile umfassen. Bei all diesen bekannten Möbelbausystemen, welche Verbin¬ dungsstäbe verwenden, ist die Befestigungstechnik zur Fixie¬ rung der Bauteile an den Verbindungsstäben ungeeignet. Keine der bekannten Befestigungstechniken erlaubt es, bei einem vollständig aufgebauten Möbel einzelne Bauelemente an belie¬ biger Stelle zu entfernen oder zu ergänzen. Wenn man ein Möbel nachträglich verändern will, muss es zumindest teil¬ weise abgebaut werden. Falls bei der Befestigungstechnik die Verbindungsvorrichtungen sogar an den Bauelementen fest¬ geleimt sind (DE 28 45 523), dann ist es nicht einmal mehr möglich, die Möbel nachträglich abzubauen.In the connecting rods, which were described in the patents DE 28 45 523 and DE 34 05 571, the connecting devices for fastening the components to the connecting rods are in the form of bolts which project at right angles from the connecting rods. The bolts are inserted into receiving bores in the end faces of the components and screwed down with screws running transversely to the bolts (DE 34 05 571) or with a suitable adhesive (DE 28 45 523) fixed in the mounting holes. In the connecting rod, which is described in the patent specification CH 467 421, the connecting devices have the form of dowels which have a head part and a shaft part. The head parts of the dowels can be inserted into an opening of the connecting rod and then fastened in this. The shaft parts protruding from the connecting rod are positively fixed in the receiving bores of the components. The dowels must be secured to the connecting rod in a cumbersome manner. Securing needles are, for example, securing needles which are pushed transversely through the head parts of the dowels, or locking forks which enclose the necks of the head parts. In all of these known furniture construction systems which use connecting rods, the fastening technique for fixing the components to the connecting rods is unsuitable. None of the known fastening techniques allows individual components to be removed or supplemented at any point in a fully assembled piece of furniture. If you want to change a piece of furniture at a later stage, it has to be at least partially dismantled. If, in the fastening technology, the connecting devices are even glued to the components (DE 28 45 523), then it is not even possible to subsequently dismantle the furniture.
Die Erfindung stellt sich nun die Aufgabe, ein Möbelbau¬ system zu schaffen, welches einfach aufgebaut ist, dessen Bauelemente beliebig zusammensteckbar und frei kombinierbar sind, und dessen tragende Bauelemente nachträglich problem¬ los ausgewechselt werden können.The object of the invention is now to create a furniture construction system which is of simple construction, the components of which can be plugged together and combined as desired, and the load-bearing components of which can be subsequently replaced without problems.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit Hilfe der Ausbildungs¬ merkmale nach dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention with the aid of the training features according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Möbelbausy- ste , dessen wichtigste Bauelemente Knotenstäbe und Platten, insbesondere Holzwerkstoffplatten sind.The present invention relates to a furniture construction system. ste, the most important components of which are knot bars and plates, in particular wood-based panels.
Dieses Möbelbausystem zeichnet sich vor allem durch die Befestigungstechnik aus, welche zur Befestigung der einzel¬ nen Bauelemente an den Knotenstäben eingesetzt wird. Diese Befestigungstechnik ermöglicht nicht nur ein schnelles, ein¬ faches Fixieren der Bauelemente an den Knotenstäben, sondern auch ein problemloses Entfernen und Anbringen von Bauelemen¬ ten an bereits bestehenden Möbeln.This furniture construction system is characterized above all by the fastening technology which is used for fastening the individual components to the node bars. This fastening technique not only enables the components to be fixed quickly and easily to the tie rods, but also enables components to be removed and attached to existing furniture without problems.
Die Knotenstäbe dienen dazu, die Platten miteinander zu ver¬ binden. Sie werden vorzugsweise durch einen Aluminium-Voll¬ profilstab mit quadratischem Querschnitt gebildet. Jeder Knotenstab weist nahe seiner beiden Stirnflächen je zwei durchgehende Gewindebohrungen auf. Jede Bohrung verläuft rechtwinklig zu zwei gegenüberliegenden, parallelen Knoten¬ stablängsseiten und durchdringt die Knotenstablängsachse. Die beiden Stirnöffnungen jeder Gewindebohrung können je eine spezielle Schraube aufnehmen.The node bars serve to connect the plates to one another. They are preferably formed by an aluminum solid profile bar with a square cross section. Each node rod has two continuous threaded holes near its two end faces. Each hole runs at right angles to two opposite, parallel knot rod longitudinal sides and penetrates the knot rod longitudinal axis. The two front openings of each threaded hole can each accommodate a special screw.
Die Platten sind mit im Handel erhältlichen Verbindern ver¬ sehen, in welche die abstehenden Schrauben der Knotenstäbe von der Seite her eingeschoben werden können und nicht von der Stirnfläche her eingesteckt werden müssen, wie dies zum Beispiel bei stirnseitigen Aufnahmebohrungen der Fall ist. Die Erfindung ist unter anderem in den Zeichnungen erläu¬ tert. Es zeigen:The plates are provided with commercially available connectors, into which the protruding screws of the tie rods can be inserted from the side and do not have to be inserted from the end face, as is the case, for example, with receiving bores on the end face. The invention is explained, inter alia, in the drawings. Show it:

Die Länge des Aluminium-Vollprofilstabes, aus welchem der Knotenstab 1 gebildet wird, entspricht der Breite der zu verbindenden Platten 2. Der Knotenstab 1 weist einen quadra¬ tischen Querschnitt auf (vgl. Fig. 1). Seine Breite ent¬ spricht der Dicke der zu verbindenden Platten 2. Seine Brei¬ te kann aber auch etwas grösser sein als die Plattendicke. Die Längskanten 16 des Knotenstabes 1 sind vorzugsweise leicht abgerundet.The length of the solid aluminum profile bar from which the node bar 1 is formed corresponds to the width of the plates 2 to be connected. The node bar 1 has a square cross section (cf. FIG. 1). Its width corresponds to the thickness of the panels 2 to be connected. However, its width can also be somewhat larger than the panel thickness. The longitudinal edges 16 of the node bar 1 are preferably slightly rounded.
In den Knotenstab 1 lassen sich maximal acht Schrauben 3 einschrauben, an denen die Platten 2 mit speziellen Ver¬ bindern 4 fixiert werden können. Dafür ist der Knotenstab 1 mit acht durchgehenden Gewindebohrungen 5 versehen. Diese Gewindebohrungen 5 sind paarweise nahe der beiden Stabenden angeordnet. Die beiden Gewindebohrungen 5, welche ein Boh¬ rungspaar bilden, stehen rechtwinklig aufeinander (vgl. Fig. 3) . Die Gewindebohrungen 5 verlaufen ausserdem rechtwinklig zu den Seitenflächen 7 des Knotenstabes 1 und durchdringen die Knotenstablängsachse 6.A maximum of eight screws 3 can be screwed into the node bar 1, on which the plates 2 can be fixed with special connectors 4. For this, the node rod 1 is provided with eight through-holes 5. These threaded holes 5 are arranged in pairs near the two rod ends. The two threaded bores 5, which form a pair of bores, are at right angles to one another (cf. FIG. 3). The threaded holes 5 also run at right angles to the side surfaces 7 of the knot bar 1 and penetrate the knot bar longitudinal axis 6.
Der Abstand zwischen den Gewindebohrungen 5 und den Knoten¬ stabstirnflächen 17 entspricht etwa einem Sechstel der Länge des Knotenstabes 1 (vgl. Fig. 1).The distance between the threaded bores 5 and the node rod end faces 17 corresponds to approximately one sixth of the length of the node rod 1 (cf. FIG. 1).
Die beiden Stirnöffnungen einer Gewindebohrung 5 vermögen je eine Schraube 3 aufzunehmen. Es werden spezielle Schrauben 3 verwendet, welche sich für die verwendeten Verbinder 4 eignen (vgl. Fig. 4). Die Schrauben 3 sind auf dem Markt er¬ hältlich. Sie weisen oberhalb ihres Gewindes einen zylinder- förmigen Kragen 19 auf. Die Schrauben 3 werden soweit in die Gewindebohrungen 5 eingeschraubt, bis die untere Seite die¬ ses Kragens 19 an der Oberfläche des Knotenstabes 1 ansteht. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass diejenigen Teile der Schrauben 3, welche an der Knotenstaboberfläche vorragen, immer gleich lang sind. Dies ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung dafür, dass die Schraubenköpfe durch die Verbinder 4 an den Platten 2 problemlos fixiert werden können. Pro Seitenfläche 7 des Knotenstabes 1 können zwei solche Schrauben 3 eingeschraubt werden. Sie stehen im eingeschraubten Zustand rechtwinklig auf den Seitenflächen 7 des Knotenstabes 1 (vgl. Fig. 1 und 2).The two end openings of a threaded bore 5 are each able to receive a screw 3. Special screws 3 are used which are suitable for the connectors 4 used (cf. FIG. 4). The screws 3 are available on the market. They have a cylindrical shaped collar 19 on. The screws 3 are screwed into the threaded bores 5 until the lower side of this collar 19 abuts the surface of the node rod 1. It is thereby achieved that those parts of the screws 3 which protrude from the surface of the node rod are always of the same length. This is an important prerequisite for the screw heads being able to be fixed to the plates 2 without problems by the connectors 4. Two such screws 3 can be screwed in for each side surface 7 of the node rod 1. They are at right angles in the screwed-in state on the side surfaces 7 of the tie rod 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).
Die Platten 2 sind entweder quadratisch oder rechteckför ig. An ihren beiden seitlichen Stirnflächen 8 sind je zwei Verbinder 4 befestigt. Es werden bekannte, auf dem Markt er¬ hältliche Verbinder 4 verwendet, welche Schrauben 3 fest¬ klemmen können. Bei den Verbindern 4 handelt es sich um vom Möbelbau her bekannte Greiferkrallen-Schlösser. Bei diesen Greiferkrallen-Schlössern wird die Verriegelung bzw. Verbin¬ dung durch Verdrehen einer nach innen hin exzentrisch ver¬ laufenden Greiferkralle 21 hergestellt (vgl. Fig. 3). Der Abstand des Kragens 19 zum Kopf 20 einer Schraube 3 ist grösser als das Eingreifende 22 der Greiferkralle 21 eines Verbinders 4.The plates 2 are either square or rectangular. Two connectors 4 are attached to each of their two lateral end faces 8. Known connectors 4 which are available on the market and which can clamp screws 3 are used. The connectors 4 are gripper claw locks known from furniture construction. In the case of these gripper claw locks, the locking or connection is produced by turning a gripper claw 21 which runs eccentrically inwards (cf. FIG. 3). The distance between the collar 19 and the head 20 of a screw 3 is greater than the engaging end 22 of the gripper claw 21 of a connector 4.
Die Verbinder 4 sind zylinderför ig und weisen eine Aus¬ sparung auf, welche von der Aussenseite des Verbinders 4 bis in dessen Mitte verläuft und welche gegen eine Verbinder¬ stirnseite hin geöffnet ist. Um eine Schraube 3 zu fixieren, wird diese von der Stirnseite des Verbinders 4 her in die Aussparung eingefügt. Die Schraube 3 muss dabei parallel zur Verbinderstirnseite gehalten werden und ihr Kopf 20 muss dem Zentrum des Verbinder 4 zugewandt sein. Wenn die Schraube 3 in die Aussparung eingefügt ist, wird mit einem Schrauben¬ zieher die Greiferkralle 21 des Verbinders 4 von einer ge¬ öffneten Position in eine geschlossene Position gedreht. Das Eingreifende 22 der Greiferkralle 21 wird dabei unter den - 7 -The connectors 4 are cylindrical and have a recess which extends from the outside of the connector 4 to the center thereof and which is open towards a connector end face. In order to fix a screw 3, it is inserted into the recess from the end face of the connector 4. The screw 3 must be held parallel to the connector face and its head 20 must face the center of the connector 4. When the screw 3 is inserted into the recess, the gripper claw 21 of the connector 4 is turned with a screwdriver from an open position into a closed position. The engaging end 22 of the gripper claw 21 is among the - 7 -
Schraubenkopf 20 geschoben, wodurch dieser im Verbinder 4 fixiert wird.Screw head 20 pushed, whereby this is fixed in the connector 4.
Um die Verbinder 4 an den Platten 2 befestigen zu können, sind diese mit vier Bohrungen 9 versehen. Je zwei dieser Bohrungen 9 sind unmittelbar neben jeder seitlichen Stirn¬ fläche 8 der Platten 2 angeordnet. Die Bohrungen 9 verlaufen rechtwinklig zur Plattenoberfläche.In order to be able to fasten the connectors 4 to the plates 2, these are provided with four bores 9. Two of these bores 9 are arranged directly next to each lateral end face 8 of the plates 2. The holes 9 are perpendicular to the plate surface.
Sie sind nicht durchgehend. Ihre Tiefe und ihr Durchmesser entsprechen der Höhe bzw. dem Durchmesser der Verbinder 4. Der Abstand zwischen den Längsachsen der Bohrungen 9 und den seitlichen Stirnflächen 8 ist etwas kleiner als der Boh¬ rungsdurchmesser, so dass die Stirnflächen 8 durch die Boh¬ rungen 9 durchbrochen werden. An den Stirnflächen 8 ent¬ steht dadurch bei jeder Bohrung 9 eine schlitzförmige Öff¬ nung 10 (vgl. Fig. 3 und 4). Der Abstand zwischen diesen schlitzförmigen Öffnungen 10 und den Ecken 18 der Platten 2 entspricht dem Abstand zwischen den Gewindebohrungen 5 von den Knotenstabstirnflächen 17.They are not continuous. Their depth and their diameter correspond to the height and the diameter of the connectors 4, respectively. The distance between the longitudinal axes of the bores 9 and the lateral end faces 8 is somewhat smaller than the bore diameter, so that the end faces 8 penetrate through the bores 9 will. As a result, a slot-shaped opening 10 is formed on the end faces 8 of each bore 9 (cf. FIGS. 3 and 4). The distance between these slot-shaped openings 10 and the corners 18 of the plates 2 corresponds to the distance between the threaded bores 5 from the node rod end faces 17.
Um eine Platte 2 an einem Knotenstab 1 zu befestigen, posi¬ tioniert man die Platte 2 in der Art und Weise neben dem Knotenstab 1, dass die untere Kante einer der seitlichen Stirnflächen 8 der Platte 2 an einer der Knotenstablängskan- ten 16 anliegt und die vordere und hintere Stirnfläche 12, 13 mit den Knotenstabstirnflächen 17 bündig sind. Die beiden Schrauben 3 der Knotenstabseitenfläche 7 befin¬ den sich in dieser Position unmittelbar vor den schlitzför¬ migen Öffnungen 10 der seitlichen Stirnflächen 8 der Plat¬ te 2. Die Platte 2 wird nun derartig in die Richtung des Knotenstabes 1 bewegt, dass die Schrauben 3 in die schlitz¬ förmigen Öffnungen 10 hineingleiten.In order to fasten a plate 2 to a knot bar 1, the plate 2 is positioned next to the knot bar 1 in such a way that the lower edge of one of the lateral end faces 8 of the plate 2 rests on one of the knot bar longitudinal edges 16 and the front and rear end faces 12, 13 are flush with the node rod end faces 17. The two screws 3 of the node rod side surface 7 are located in this position immediately in front of the slot-shaped openings 10 of the lateral end surfaces 8 of the plate 2. The plate 2 is now moved in the direction of the node rod 1 in such a way that the screws 3 slide into the slot-shaped openings 10.
In der Endposition deckt sich die seitliche Stirnfläche 8 der Platte 2 vollständig mit der entsprechenden Knotenstab¬ seitenfläche 1 , und die beiden Schrauben 3 sind vollständig in die schlitzförmigen Öffnungen 10 und somit auch in die dazugehörigen Verbinder 4 eingefügt. Um die Schrauben 3 in den Verbindern 4 zu fixieren, braucht man nun nur noch mit /27053In the end position, the lateral end face 8 of the plate 2 completely coincides with the corresponding knot bar side face 1, and the two screws 3 are completely inserted into the slot-shaped openings 10 and thus also into the associated connectors 4. To fix the screws 3 in the connectors 4, all you need now is with / 27053

einem Kreuzschraubenzieher die Greiferkrallen 21 der Ver¬ binder 4 zu schliessen.to close the gripper claws 21 of the connector 4 with a Phillips screwdriver.
In analoger Art und Weise lässt sich eine Platte 2 gleich¬ zeitig an zwei parallelen Knotenstäben 1 fixieren. An jedem Knotenstab 1 können maximal vier Platten 2 befe¬ stigt werden.In an analogous manner, a plate 2 can be fixed to two parallel node bars 1 at the same time. A maximum of four plates 2 can be attached to each node bar 1.
Es ist aber auch möglich, an einem Knotenstab 1 nur drei oder zwei Platten 2 anzubringen. Im Falle von zwei Platten 2 besteht die Möglichkeit, diese in einer Ebene oder recht¬ winklig zueinander anzuordnen.However, it is also possible to attach only three or two plates 2 to a node rod 1. In the case of two plates 2, it is possible to arrange them in one plane or at right angles to one another.
Mit Hilfe des Knotenstabes 1 lassen sich also alle Knoten¬ punkte bilden, welche bei einem Möbel normalerweise vorkom¬ men.With the help of the knot bar 1, all knot points can be formed which normally occur in furniture.
Es ist zu betonen, dass die abstehenden Schrauben 3 der Kno¬ tenstäbe 1 von der Seite her in die Verbinder 4 eingescho¬ ben werden können, und nicht von der Stirnfläche her einge¬ steckt werden müssen, wie dies zum Beispiel bei stirnseiti¬ gen Aufnahmebohrungen der Fall ist. Dies bedeutet, dass die Platten 2 von der Seite her zwischen zwei bereits montier¬ te Knotenstäbe 1 geschoben und an diesen fixiert werden kön¬ nen. Eine bereits fixierte Platte 2 kann jederzeit problem¬ los von den entsprechenden Knotenstäben 1 gelöst und seit¬ lich von den Knotenstäben 1 weggezogen werden. Zur Befestigung von Einbauten wie Tablaren, Rückwänden, Trennwänden, Türscharnieren, Schubladen, etc. sind die Plat¬ ten 2 mit vorgebohrten Löchern 11, 14 versehen. Die Löcher 11 zur Befestigung von Tablaren und Schubladen sind zum Beispiel auf je einer Linie, welche parallel zur vorderen bzw. hinteren Stirnfläche 12 , 13 der Platten 2 verlaufen und von diesen den gleichen Abstand haben wie die schlitzförmigen Öffnungen 10 der seitlichen Stirnflächen 8. Die Löcher 11 sind in regel ässigen Abständen angeordnet. Zur Befestigung von Türscharnieren und Winkelstücken 15 für die Fixierung der Rückwand dienen vier weitere Lochpaare 14, welche nebeneinander in der Nähe der seitlichen Stirnflächen 8 der Platten 2 angeordnet sind. /27053It should be emphasized that the protruding screws 3 of the knot bars 1 can be pushed into the connector 4 from the side and do not have to be inserted from the end face, as is the case, for example, with receiving bores on the end face the case is. This means that the plates 2 can be pushed from the side between two already assembled node bars 1 and fixed to them. An already fixed plate 2 can be detached from the corresponding node bars 1 at any time and pulled away laterally from the node bars 1. The plates 2 are provided with pre-drilled holes 11, 14 for fastening internals such as trays, rear walls, partition walls, door hinges, drawers, etc. The holes 11 for fastening trays and drawers are, for example, each on a line which runs parallel to the front and rear end faces 12, 13 of the plates 2 and are at the same distance from these as the slot-shaped openings 10 of the side end faces 8. Die Holes 11 are arranged at regular intervals. Four further pairs of holes 14, which are arranged next to one another in the vicinity of the lateral end faces 8 of the plates 2, are used to fasten door hinges and angle pieces 15 for fixing the rear wall. / 27053

Dank dieser vorgebohrten Löcher 11, 14 wird die Montage zu¬ sätzlich vereinfacht, da dem Kunden sämtliche Bohrarbeiten abgenommen werden.Thanks to these predrilled holes 11, 14, assembly is additionally simplified since all drilling work is relieved from the customer.
Für den Bau eines Möbels werden die einzelnen Platten 2 mit Knotenstäben 1 verbunden. Wie bereits beschrieben wurde, ist die Montage sehr einfach. Der Kunde braucht die Platten 2 lediglich von der Seite her auf die Knotenstäbe 1 aufzu¬ schieben und dann die Verbinder 4 zu schliessen. Auch wenn ein Möbel bereits zusammengebaut ist, können ein¬ zelne Platten 2 problemlos ausgewechselt werden, indem man die Verbinder 4 öffnet und die Platten 2 seitwärts wegzieht.For the construction of a piece of furniture, the individual panels 2 are connected with node bars 1. As already described, the assembly is very simple. The customer only needs to push the plates 2 onto the node bars 1 from the side and then close the connectors 4. Even if a piece of furniture is already assembled, individual panels 2 can be exchanged without problems by opening the connectors 4 and pulling the panels 2 away to the side.
Das vorgeschlagene Möbelbausystem mit Knotenstäben 1 weist gegenüber den bisher bekannten Möbelbausystemen wesentliche Vorteile auf:The proposed furniture construction system with node bars 1 has significant advantages over the previously known furniture construction systems:
Beim vorgeschlagenen Möbelbausystem können einzelne tragende Teile problemlos ein- und ausgebaut werden, auch wenn das Möbel bereits vollständig zusammengebaut ist. Dies war bei keinem der bisher bekannten Möbelbausystemen möglich, auch nicht bei denjenigen, welche Verbindungsstäbe verwendeten. Gegenüber den bisher bekannten VerbindungsStäben hat der Knotenstab des vorgeschlagenen Möbelbausystems ausserdem den Vorteil, dass er mit wenigen einfachen Handgriffen an den plattenförmigen Bauelementen befestigt und auch einfach von diesen wieder gelöst werden kann.In the proposed furniture construction system, individual load-bearing parts can be easily installed and removed, even if the furniture is already fully assembled. This was not possible with any of the previously known furniture construction systems, not even with those that used connecting rods. Compared to the previously known connecting rods, the node rod of the proposed furniture construction system also has the advantage that it can be attached to the plate-shaped components in a few simple steps and can also be easily removed again.
Die Teile des vorgeschlagenen Möbelbausystems sind beliebig montierbar und die Einbauelemente können frei an den vorge¬ sehenen Reihenbohrungen befestigt werden. Bei den bisher bekannten Möbelbausystemen mit getrenntem Trag- und Einbau¬ system, waren die Montagemöglichkeiten für die Einbauelemen¬ te durch das Traggerüst vordefiniert und dadurch entspre¬ chend eingeschränkt.The parts of the proposed furniture construction system can be assembled as desired and the built-in elements can be freely attached to the row bores provided. In the previously known furniture construction systems with a separate support and installation system, the mounting options for the installation elements were predefined by the support structure and were therefore restricted accordingly.
Veränderungen am Traggerüst waren kompliziert und aufwendig. Die Möbelbausysteme, welche mit fertigen Modulen arbeiteten, waren noch eingeschränkter, da sich die Module nur in einer begrenzten Anzahl von Anordnungen zusammenstellen Hessen. Wenn man eine bestehende Anordnung ändern wollte, musste man das bestehende Möbel vollständig oder zumindest teilweise abbauen.Changes to the supporting structure were complicated and time-consuming. The furniture systems, which worked with finished modules, were even more restricted, since the modules can only be assembled in a limited number of arrangements. If you wanted to change an existing arrangement, you had to completely or at least partially dismantle the existing furniture.
Das vorgeschlagene Möbelbausystem lässt der Phantasie hin¬ gegen freien Spielraum und setzt den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten praktisch keine Grenzen.The proposed furniture construction system, however, leaves the imagination free scope and sets practically no limits to the possible uses.
Mit dem vorgeschlagenen Möbelbausystem lassen sich Wohn¬ wände, Schreibtische, Bücherregale, Badezimmerschränkchen und viele weitere Möbel bauen.With the proposed furniture construction system, living walls, desks, bookshelves, bathroom cabinets and many other pieces of furniture can be built.
Bei einem Umzug oder bei einem Wechsel der Räumlichkeiten kann man die Möbel einfach ohne die Hilfe von Fachleuten und ohne spezielle Werkzeuge abbauen und nachher, den neuen Raumanforderungen angepasst, wieder aufbauen. Der Kunde benötigt lediglich einen Schraubenzieher.When moving or changing premises, the furniture can simply be dismantled without the help of experts and without special tools and then reassembled, adapted to the new space requirements. The customer only needs a screwdriver.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass sich das vorge¬ schlagene Möbelbausystem durch seine Vielfältigkeit, seine Flexibilität und seine Einfachheit bei der Montage und bei nachträglichen Veränderungen auszeichnet. Es wird dank die¬ sen Vorzügen auf grosses Interesse stossen. In summary, it can be said that the proposed furniture construction system is distinguished by its diversity, its flexibility and its simplicity in assembly and in the event of subsequent changes. Thanks to these advantages, there will be great interest.
