Drawer for a kitchen cabinet

Field of technology

The invention relates to a drawer for a kitchen cabinet, with a bottom, a front wall, a rear wall and a Halterungsrah men, which has one or more mounting openings for containers, the drawer by means of preferably telescopic ble Verfahr seemed between a retracted and a driven position is movable bar, the Ver travel rails have a cover and the mounting frame rests on the covers.

State of the art

Drawers of the type in question are known. These are used, for example, in the kitchen area to accommodate and hold containers, and also waste bins, for example. Reference is made, for example, to EP 2340743 A1. From this patent application it is known to provide the drawer with a support frame that rails on the covers of the Verfahr, in particular for hanging containers. In addition, for example, from DE 202015100485 Ul a drawer frame with mounting bracket is known for the standing arrangement of containers on the floor.

Summary of the invention

With regard to the prior art described above, the task arises of further training a drawer of the type in question in an advantageous manner. A possible solution to the problem is given according to a first inventive idea in a drawer, which is based on the fact that the holder frame designed to hold the container standing on the floor by means of outwardly directed, a horizontal leg and a VerÜkalschenkel angle rests on end faces of the covers over a length given by a distance between the inner surfaces of the front wall and the rear wall, the VerÜkalschenkel merging into a lowered relative to the horizontal legs towards the bottom, the mounting openings delimiting horizontal edge surface.

As a result of the proposed embodiment, with regard to an upright arrangement of the container in the drawer, an advantageously simple design of the container or containers, in particular for lateral support, encompassing or at least partially surrounding the mounting frame. For this purpose, as is also preferred, each container can penetrate a separate mounting opening in the mounting frame.

The angles arise in a vertical sectional plane transversely to a direction of travel of the drawer, are directed outward, and accordingly preferably designed with their angular openings repelling from one another. The outer surfaces of the vertical legs facing away from one another are covered by the horizontal legs to be ordered, via which a preferably direct resting on a facing, in the use position upwardly facing support surface of the cover can be achieved. The vertical legs of the angle are aligned in the lay-up position of the holding frame on the possibly side walls of the drawer represent the covers facing the inner surfaces of the coverings facing each other, with an upper one, offering the support surface Edge area of a cover at least partially fills the angular opening limited by the horizontal leg and the vertical leg.

It can further, as also preferred, an opening surface of the holding opening in the usual position of use of the container in the vertical direction level, in particular parallel, be spaced from the floor. When a plurality of holding openings are formed in the holding frame, the respective opening areas can, as further preferred, extend within a common plane (opening plane).

The support frame is preferably on the horizontal legs on the in the operating position facing upward end faces of the covers. This support can result over the entire length of the cover resulting in the pull-out direction of the drawer, more preferably over at least 50% of this length up to 90 or 95%.

By extending from the horizontal leg vertical leg of the mounting frame ens, which vertical leg merges in the usual operating position in the horizontal, below the plane of the horizontal leg extending edge surface, a position of the support frame can be achieved in a direction transverse to a pull-out direction.

By the preferably double and oppositely provided horizontal legs each given support a support plane is spanned.

[0011] An edge surface delimiting the mounting openings can thus be formed in the manner of a depression in relation to the support plane of the mounting frame on the covers, so that the opening The mounting plane of the mounting openings can extend in the vertical direction between the bottom (bottom plane), which preferably also extends in accordance with a plane, and the support plane.

[0012] Further features of the invention are explained below, also in the description of the figures, often in their preferred assignment to the subject matter of claim 1 or to features of further claims. However, they can also be assigned to only individual features of claim 1 or the respective further claim, or in each case regardless of meaning. Thus, according to a possible embodiment, the mounting frame can only be attached to the front wall or additionally to the rear wall of the drawer. Accordingly, according to a preferred embodiment, there can be no direct attachment between the mounting frame and the covers. Rather, as is also preferred, the mounting frame can be indirectly fastened to the covers via the front wall and, if necessary, additionally via the rear wall.

The horizontal edge surface delimiting the mounting opening can also be formed over the length, i.e. in the extension direction of the drawer. In a further preferred manner, two edge surfaces, each essentially assigned to a cover, running in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the covers can thus result.

In a further possible embodiment, the edge surface can also be at least partially circumferential, with a section also assigned to the rear wall and / or the front wall. So you can continue to continuously an opening area of the mounting opening in the opening plane be limited alone or predominantly by the edge area.

In one possible embodiment, the mounting frame can merge into a fastening tab from a portion of the edge surface assigned to the front wall and / or the rear wall. The fastening tab can, as preferred, serve to fasten the mounting frame to the front wall or the rear wall, for example for screw fastening. In this case, the fastening tab can extend essentially in a vertical direction with reference to an operating position of the drawer, thus more preferably essentially perpendicular to the opening plane of the holding frame.

The fastening tab can also be made of the same material with the mounting frame. In this regard, it may be advisable to design the mounting frame as a bent part, in particular a bent sheet metal part.

In addition, according to a possible embodiment, the end face of the cover can extend to half or less of this height with respect to a height of the front wall starting from the floor, in particular flat from the floor. Correspondingly, an extension of the opening plane of the horizontal edge surfaces delimiting the mounting openings can result before given below a dimension of extension of the front wall of the drawer viewed in the height direction. In a further preferred embodiment, the end face of the cover can extend approximately at a height viewed from the floor, in particular from the floor plane, which can correspond to about a quarter or less, for example about a fifth or less of the front wall height. In addition, as a result of the above-described vertical arrangement of the end face of the cover or of the edge surfaces surrounding the holding openings, the container received in the holding openings can be enclosed in such a way that this circumference is approximately in a region of a lower quarter or a The lower third of the container standing on the floor is reached, while the upper area of the container can optionally be given freely protruding beyond the support frame, for example two thirds or three quarters.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS Shown and described, initially with reference to the representations in FIGS. 1 and 2, is a kitchen cabinet 1 with a drawer 2, which drawer 2 is extended in a direction r relative to the body of the kitchen cabinet 1 and can be retracted against the direction of travel r. The body of the kitchen cupboard 1 can have at least one cupboard base 3, two cupboard side walls 4 and extending in a vertical plane optionally have a cabinet rear wall 5. The cabinet ceiling can be formed by a kitchen worktop 6, for example.

In the position of use, the front side of the kitchen cabinet 1 facing the interior of the room can preferably be closed by the front wall 7 of the drawer 2. On the inside of this front wall 7, facing the interior of the body, a cover frame 8 is fastened, in particular screw-fastened (see, for example, the sectional view in FIG. 5).

The legs of the cover frame 8 extending in the direction of displacement r of the drawer 2 form frame-like covers 9. Two covers 9 are preferably provided, which are spaced apart transversely to the direction of travel r and run parallel to one another, and which are more preferably telescopic in the direction of travel r 10 can cover. In this case, one telescopic rail is preferably attached to the cabinet floor 3 and the other telescopic rail can be displaced together with the cover 9. As shown in the exemplary embodiments, the covers 9 can be connected to one another at the rear, corresponding to the cabinet rear wall 5, via a cover crossbar 12.

A base 12, preferably aligned parallel to the cabinet base 3, extends between the mutually facing inner sides of the covers 9 and preferably the inside of the cover transverse bar 11 forming a rear wall 19 of the drawer 2 firmly connected to the rear wall 19, for example due to a one-piece and possibly uniform design. In the direction of the front wall 7, the bottom 12, as also given before, in a common vertical plane, optionally the fastening plane to the front wall 7, with the covers 9 end.

The bottom 12 preferably forms the bottom of the drawer.

The upwardly facing end faces 13 of the covers 9 and optionally also the rear wall 19 in the usual state of use can, as also preferred, extend in a common horizontal plane, can thus form a support plane A for a support frame 14 for container 15 . These end faces 13, in particular those of the covers 9 extending in the displacement direction r, are used to support the mounting frame 14 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiments.

The containers 15 can, as also shown, be, for example, waste containers, with an elongated rectangular plan viewed in a vertical projection onto the cabinet floor 3 and a height in the use position in the vertical direction, which is preferably a multiple of the shorter lateral dimension can correspond in floor plan. Such a container 15 can have a length 1 in plan, which can correspond to approximately 1.5 to 2.5 times, further approximately 2 times the width b considered transversely to this. The height h of such a container 15 can correspond approximately to the above-described length dimension 1 in plan or approximately 0.7 to 1.5 times this length dimension 1.

In the illustrated embodiment, two containers 15 are provided, which are designed the same. The further statements regarding the formation of the mounting frame 14 relate in the same way to statements for receiving only one container 15 or for receiving me of more than two containers 15, it also being possible to provide different containers 15, in particular with regard to the layout.

The container 15 penetrate the mounting openings 16 of the mounting frame 14. The mounting openings 16 are preferably closed all the way around with reference to a floor plan, the resulting peripheral edge of the mounting opening 16 according to a possible embodiment on the facing outer wall surface of the container 15 can be applied or this flanked with a small distance of a few millimeters, for example 1 to 3 mm.

Circumferential to the mounting openings 16 result in the mounting base 17 having the mounting openings 16 edge surfaces 18. These edge surfaces 18 can form the mounting base 17 as a whole, which is preferably in a horizontal plane between the base 12 and that given by the end faces 13 Level extends. Here, with respect to each mounting opening 16, an opening area of the mounting opening 16 extending in the plane of the upwardly facing surface of the mounting base 17 or the edge surfaces 18 can result. The opening areas of all of the holding openings 16 provided in the holding frame 14 can, as further preferred, extend in a common opening plane O which is horizontal in the usual operating position and which can furthermore preferably touch the surface of the holding base 17.

Thus, starting from the floor 12, in particular from the floor plane B given by the floor surface to the support plane A given by the end face 13, a height d results, which in the illustrated embodiment is about a fifth of the height c of Front wall 7, also starting from the floor plane B, can correspond. The opening plane O of the mounting openings 17 is preferably offset by an offset dimension e from the support plane A in the direction of the floor 12 is arranged. The offset dimension e can correspond to approximately one tenth to one fifth, further for example approximately one seventh of the height d of the covers 9. These covers 9 extend further with respect to the displacement direction r of the drawer 2 over a given length a between the facing inner surfaces of the front wall 7 of the drawer 2 and the rear wall 19 (see FIG. 3). The holding frame 14, in particular the holding base 17, can also extend over this length. In addition, the holding frame 14 is preferably also supported on the covers 9, in particular on its end faces 13, over this length a.

For this purpose, the holding frame 14 furthermore has an angle 20 associated with a cover 9 and, with reference to a vertical section directed transversely to the displacement direction r according to FIG. 6, with a horizontal limb 21 and a vertical limb 22. The vertical limb 22 extends from the horizontally running edge surface 18 and extends upwards in the usual usage orientation, preferably enclosing an angle of approximately 90 ° to the edge surface 18. The vertical extent of the vertical leg 22 is decisive for the offset dimension e. In the upwardly facing end region of the vertical leg 22, this goes over into the outwardly directed horizontal leg 21. The two horizontal legs 21 of both edge surfaces 18 extending in the direction of displacement r are formed correspondingly pointing away from each other. The vertical legs 22 preferably run in the same direction as the inner sides facing one another in the direction of displacement r. Fenden covers 9, these with a small distance of a few millimeters, for example 1 to 5 mm, flanking.

Via the horizontal legs 21, the holding frame 14 is supported on the cover frame 8, in particular on the end faces 13 of the covers 9 in the support plane A.

If necessary, such an angle 20, in particular such a horizontal leg 21, can also provide support on the related end face of the cover crossbar 11 or the rear wall 19. The mounting frame 14 and in particular the covers 9 are preferably not directly connected to one another. Rather, a medium face connection via the front wall 7 is preferred.

For this purpose, the mounting frame 14 can, proceeding from a sub-area of the edge surface 18, in particular facing the front wall 7, merge into a fastening tab 23 that preferably extends in a vertical plane. According to the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, this fastening tab 23 can extend upwards starting from the edge surface 18, correspondingly repelling from the surface of the edge surface 18. About provided in the fastening tab 23 holes can

Attachment of the support frame 14 by means of screws 24 on the front wall 7 can be achieved (see Figure 4). In the second embodiment shown in Figure 9, the above-described fastening tab 23 is developed from the associated edge surface 18 downwards in the direction of the floor 12. Here, too, a corresponding screw fixing of the holding frame 14 to the front wall 7 can be achieved.

In addition, a further fastening tab 26 facing the rear wall 19 or the cover crossbar 11 can also be used for fastening to the rear wall 19.

The holding frame 14 with the one or both fastening tabs 23, 26 as well as the angles 20 and the holding base 17 is preferably designed as a material-uniform bent sheet metal part.

When the drawer 2 is moved into an extended position according to FIG. 2, the cover frame 8 together with the holding frame 14 and the containers 15 set up on the floor 12 of the cover frame 8 are moved relative to the fixed cabinet base 3 in the direction of displacement r.
