State of the art

Drawers or extracts of furniture are usually assembled from individual elements, for example, a

Front part and side walls are connected together in the manufacture of the drawer. A connection of a front part can be done for example by screwing. But this is not satisfactory, since a screw one

Tool insert makes necessary or the screw is visible on the furniture part.

Purpose and advantages of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a technically intelligent and economically advantageous type of connection for the detachable connection of a front part to a drawer. In particular, the connection should not visually appear on the finished assembled drawer.

This object is solved by the independent claims.

The dependent claims relate to advantageous variants of the invention.

CONFIRMATION COPY The invention is initially based on a device with an attachment device for the detachable connection of a

Front part of a drawer with a side wall of the drawer, wherein the attachment means allows a connection between an inner side of the front part and a region of an end side of the side wall and wherein in the connected state, the end side of the side wall is dull on the inside of

Front part abuts. As a rule, two opposite side walls, each with a front side, are located on the drawer

Front side of the side walls available. About the

Device according to the invention with the attachment device, the connection of the front part with the side walls in the region of the two side wall end faces is established.

The attachment device is in particular on the front part attachable inside, so that subsequently with the

Attachment device provided front part in the area of

Sidewall end faces is connectable, wherein portions of the attachment means with opposite portions of the side wall

interact. The device accordingly also includes the mating sections on the respective side wall.

A first essential aspect of the invention is that the attachment device has at least two holding sections with at least one movably mounted holding section, with the holding sections on the side wall engaging in positionally correct attachment of the front part to the side wall

oppositely formed opposite portions are attachable, wherein the holding portions are formed so that the attachment to the side wall by moving the

Attachment device with a movement component in the direction of a longitudinal extension of the side wall takes place. A

Movement component when mounting or connecting is thus in particular perpendicular to the respective end of the

Sidewall aligned. In this case, the holding sections are brought to the attachment device functionally correct to the matched to the holding sections designed counter sections, wherein the holding sections and the Counter sections can be brought into contact with each other in connection. Upon reaching the fully installed or

anchored state of the front part of the drawer or the side walls is also the exact positioning or

Alignment of the front part to the assembled drawer reached.

The attachment of the holding portions of the opposite sections can be positive, force and / or frictional engagement.

In particular, the holding portions on the

Be fixed to opposite sections, for example, anchored, latched, clamped or verkakbar.

On the sidewall, looking at a built-in

State of the drawer in a furniture body, in the vertical direction opposite opposing portions present, in which the holding portions can engage. By the

Movement of the attachment device with a component of movement in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the side wall, the

Installation is particularly easy and uncomplicated.

In particular, as based on the furniture, the front part is brought from the front of the side wall end faces, which

is advantageous. Even with already installed in a furniture carcass existing drawer, but still without the

Front part, the drawer can easily be provided with the front part. This is also advantageous because the visually particularly relevant front part can be omitted until the end, so that this part is not z. B. is scratched. When mounting the front part in a last

Assembly step, it is advantageous that the leading of the front part can be done from the front, the drawer must not be pulled out of the furniture body. At a

completely retracted in the furniture body state of

Drawer, where the drawer is pending in Einschiebrichtung, the drawer according to the invention can be particularly easily provided by a person from the front with the front part.

Preferably, the holding portions are configured such that the holding portions with matching at the opposite portions existing Eingreifkonturen be anchored by engaging behind. This way anchoring can be set up particularly easily and securely. The engagement contour is formed or cooperates with the holding portion such that, in particular, in an action of a user on the front part, to order z. B. move out the loaded drawer from a carcass, which act on the front part

In particular, tensile forces safely from the holding and

Counter sections can be included.

Advantageously, the attachment device has at least one holding section movable on the attachment device. The at least one movably mounted holding section on the attachment device can be realized by a simple and space-saving movement storage. A maximum possible

Movement of the respective holding section can

be comparatively short, possibly only a few millimeters long. The type of movement or the specific storage can be realized in many ways. The movement can for

Example, a pan, shift and / or a

Include rotational movement.

It is particularly advantageous that the attachment device at least one pivotally and / or along a curved path movably received on the attachment device

Holding section has. This allows a particularly reliable and easily realizable movement storage of the holding section.

Preferably, the at least two holding sections on

opposite sides of the attachment available. Thus, a fastening between the front part and the

Sidewall stable or torsional and tilt stabilized done. About the at least two holding portions, it is also variably possible that the holding portions of matching

Make the side wall can interact with corresponding counter sections.

The attachment device is in particular as a separate component on the front part attachable on the inside, in particular screwed.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that a holding section fixed in position and another holding section is movably received on the attachment device. Such an attachment device is comparatively simple and stable.

With the one movable holding portion can be a Einschnappbzw. Locking mechanism can be realized. The movable one

Holding section can automatically when coming from the front part of the particular two end faces of the side walls in particular by contact with the side wall of a

fully disengaged position on the attachment means are moved to a slightly engaged position to

Reaching the final mounting position of the front part of the drawer to take the anchoring position. In the anchoring position, anchoring is effected via the movable holding section, in particular by its rear engagement with the engaging contour. The anchoring can be set up, for example, by moving the movable holding section slightly out of the somewhat engaged position into a disengaging direction. The assembly movement of

Front part including attachment means may for example comprise a pivoting movement in the direction of the end faces of the side walls.

The position-fixed holding portion may also be in an anchoring position by engaging behind on a counter portion in the anchored state of the front part, wherein the rear engagement can be done in particular at the beginning of the attachment of the front part to the side walls.

An advantageous variant of the invention is that spring means are present, so that at least one movable holding portion is spring-loaded. A holding portion movably held by spring means may be biased by a spring force provided by the spring means in a starting position on the attaching means. Out the starting position, the holding portion then to the establishment of the anchor or at the counter section
