Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a drawer side wall for a drawer in the form described in the generic concept of claim 1, and an assembly consisting of at least one such drawer side wall and at least one drawer guide for the drawer.

[0002] According to the prior art, a drawer side wall for a drawer is known, which includes at least one back wall holder that can hold a back wall in a lateral direction with respect to the drawer side wall.

[0003] In this case, the disadvantage is that, since the mounting means of the back wall holder require a relatively large minimum thickness, depending on this back wall holder, only a back wall having such a relatively large minimum thickness can be held. As a result, the material cost increases and the cost becomes high. Furthermore, in many cases, an additional working step of using tools is also required to attach the back wall.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a drawer side wall improved over the prior art that at least partially eliminates the disadvantages known from the prior art, and an assembly consisting of at least one such improved drawer side wall and at least one drawer guide for the drawer. In this case, this drawer side wall is excellent in that, in particular, it can hold even a thin back wall by means of a back wall holder and / or the labor for assembling the back wall to the drawer side wall is reduced.

[0005] This object is solved by the features described in claims 1 and 13.

[0006] In this drawer side wall, it is specified that the back wall holder has at least one clamping device that can hold the back wall by means of a clamp, and this at least one clamping device has at least one clamping lever that is movable between a clamping position and a release position.

[0007] This clamping device offers several advantages: it eliminates the need to introduce mounting means into the back wall material, allowing even thin back walls to be held by the back wall holder. Furthermore, this clamping device can accommodate back walls of various thicknesses, whereas conventional back wall holders are often designed only for back walls of a predetermined thickness. Finally, this clamping device allows the back wall to be attached to the back wall holder without the use of tools, thereby reducing assembly time.

[0008] A favorable embodiment is provided in the dependent claim.

[0009] Further details and advantages of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings, based on the description of the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 43] This figure shows a drawer side wall equipped with a back wall holder, according to another embodiment.

[0011] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of drawer 2 from the front. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of drawer 2 without the front panel 18 from the rear. Figure 3 shows an enlarged view of a portion of the area of ​​the back wall holder 16, in which case the drawer bottom surface 5 and the back wall 19 are not connected to the drawer side wall 1.

[0012] Drawer 2 has two parallel drawer side walls 1, a back wall 19, a front panel 18, and a drawer bottom 5 spaced apart from each other. Preferably, the back wall 19 and the drawer bottom 5 have substantially the same thickness 26, 27, and particularly preferably less than 1 cm. The thickness 26 of the drawer bottom 5 is shown in Figure 8, and the thickness 27 of the back wall 19 is shown in Figure 12.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the back wall 19 and the drawer bottom 5 can be attached to the drawer side wall 1, particularly preferably by clamp, by a single common joining motion. The common joining motion is shown by an arrow in Figure 3.

[0014] Figures 4 and 5 show the drawer side wall 1 in a perspective view (Figure 4) and exploded view (Figure 5), respectively. Figures 6 and 7 show enlarged views of a portion of the front wall holder 14 area, with Figure 6 showing the unconnected state between the drawer bottom surface 5 and the drawer side wall 1, and Figure 7 showing the connected state. Figure 8 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the mounting means 13 area.

[0015] The drawer side wall 1 for drawer 2 has at least one groove 4 extending in the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1 for accommodating the edge of the drawer bottom surface 5, the groove 4 having at least one upper retaining web 6 and a lower retaining web 7 spaced apart from and substantially parallel to the upper retaining web, the edge of the drawer bottom surface 5 can be positioned between these retaining webs. At least one side surface 8 of the drawer side wall 1 is formed from a single sheet metal piece 9, and the groove 4, together with both retaining webs 6 and 7, is formed within the sheet metal piece 9 by bending.

[0016] The drawer side wall 1 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is substantially rectangular when viewed in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1.

[0017] In the groove 4, preferably in the retaining web 7 on the lower side of the groove 4, mounting means 13, preferably claws, are provided for attaching the edge of the drawer bottom surface 5, preferably by clamping. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting means 13 is integrally formed with the thin metal sheet 9, and is particularly formed by punching.

[0018] As is particularly clear from Figure 8, the mounting means 13 may have a reverse hook, which can overcome when inserting the drawer bottom 5, but catches on the material of the drawer bottom 5 when moving the drawer bottom 5 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction.

[0019] The thin metal sheet 9 can form a hollow profile preferably having a U-shaped cross-section, as shown in the illustrated embodiment.

[0020] Inside the hollow profile are at least one, preferably at least two, profile bodies 14, 15, 16, preferably made of plastic, spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1, and the profile bodies stabilize the hollow profile in at least the lateral direction 17 with respect to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1, in which case preferably at least one of the profile bodies 14, 15, 16 has a shape that conforms to the inner shape of the hollow profile.

[0021] At least one of the profile bodies 14, 15, 16 has the same cross-sectional shape as the metal sheet piece 9, at least in the region of the groove 4.

[0022] In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, at least one profile body 14 is positioned in the front region of the drawer side wall 1 and is formed to hold the front panel 18. At least one profile body 16 is positioned in the rear region of the drawer side wall 1 and is formed to hold the back wall 19. At least one profile body 15 is positioned in the central region of the drawer side wall 1. Profile body 15 can be omitted if the nominal length is short.

[0023] The profile bodies 14, 15 and / or 16 can be connected to the hollow profile via the restraint portion 57.

[0024] The drawer side wall 1 has an outer surface 10 that is oriented substantially parallel to the side surface 8 which has a groove 4.

[0025] As is particularly clear from Figure 6, the groove 4 is formed to be recessed into the drawer side wall 1 relative to the side surface 8. The drawer side wall 1 has a reduced thickness 11 in the region of the groove 4, and preferably the thickness 11 in the region of the groove 4 is reduced to 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the thickness 12 of the drawer side wall in the region outside the groove 4.

[0026] The drawer side wall 1 has a substantially constant thickness 12 in the region outside the groove 4, preferably in the region above the groove 4.

[0027] Figures 9 and 10 show the back wall holder 16 according to the first embodiment in a perspective view from the rear (Figure 9) and a perspective view from the front (Figure 10). Figures 11 to 15 show the area of ​​the back wall holder 16 during the back wall 19 mounting process from various viewpoints, with Figures 12 and 14 being cross-sectional views and Figures 11, 13, and 15 being perspective views from the rear.

[0028] The drawer side wall 1 includes at least one back wall holder 16 that can hold the back wall 19 laterally relative to the drawer side wall 1, and the back wall holder 16 has at least one clamping device 20 that can hold the back wall 19 by clamping.

[0029] At least one clamping device 20 may have at least one clamping lever 28 that is movable between a clamping position (see Figure 11) and a release position (see Figure 15), preferably the clamping lever 28 having at least one blade 29 (see Figure 9), as in the illustrated embodiment, the blade being able to retract into the material of the back wall 19 during a series of movements of the clamping lever 28 toward the clamping position (see Figure 12).

[0030] At least one back wall holder 16 may have at least one retaining groove 33 extending laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1, within which the back wall 19 can be positioned in a predetermined area (see Figure 10).

[0031] At least one back wall holder 16 may have at least one play compensation device 34, preferably having at least one spring-loaded tab, which can push the back wall 19 toward the drawer side wall 1.

[0032] The back wall holder 16 has the same cross-sectional shape as the metal sheet piece 9, at least in the area of ​​the groove 4. In particular, the back wall holder 16 has a accommodating groove 53 that can accommodate the groove 4 of the metal sheet piece 9 in at least a predetermined area.

[0033] At least one back wall holder 16 may have at least one mounting device 35 to which the back wall 19 can be additionally attached in addition to at least one clamping device 20. Figures 16 and 17 show enlarged views of a portion of the area of ​​the back wall holder 16, in which case the back wall 19 is attached to the back wall holder via screws 38.

[0034] Figure 18 shows a perspective view of the assembly consisting of the drawer side wall 1 and the drawer guide 21.

[0035] The drawer guide 21 for drawers has a cabinet rail 22 to be connected to a furniture cabinet and at least one drawer rail 23 that is slidable relative to the cabinet rail. An intermediate rail may be further arranged between the cabinet rail 22 and the drawer rail 23.

[0036] The drawer rail 23 has at least one mounting web 24 for the drawer bottom surface 5, which is substantially positioned in a plane including the retaining web 7 below the groove 4 of the drawer side wall 1 when the drawer side wall 1 is connected to the drawer guide 21 for the drawer.

[0037] In its connected state, the drawer side wall 1 is positioned between the mounting web of the cabinet rail 22 and the vertical web 58 of the drawer rail 23, which is positioned parallel to it, in at least a predetermined area.

[0038] The drawer side wall 1 may be provided with at least one connecting device 25 that can preferably be detachably connected to a drawer guide 21.

[0039] Preferably, the coupling device 25 has a coupling lever 36 and a coupling contour 39 that cooperates with the coupling lever, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, in which case the coupling lever 36 is located on the drawer side wall 1, preferably on the front wall holder 14, and the coupling contour 39 is located on the drawer rail 23, preferably on the vertical web 58 of the drawer rail 23, or the reverse configuration.

[0040] Alternatively or supplementally, the drawer side wall 1 may be connected to the drawer rail 23 via a hook 55 that can be inserted into an opening 56, preferably the hook 55 being located on the drawer rail 23 and the opening 56 on the back wall holder 16.

[0041] The front wall holder 14 may be preferably formed to removably hold a connecting element 37 to be connected to the front plate 18.

[0042] Figures 19 to 24 show the back wall holder 16 according to the second embodiment, with and without the back wall 19, in perspective views from the rear (Figures 19 and 22), from the front (Figures 20 and 23), and from above (Figures 21 and 24). Figures 25 to 29 show the back wall holder 16 according to the third embodiment, in perspective views from the rear (Figures 25, 28, and 29), from the front (Figure 27), and from above (Figure 26). Figure 28 shows a partial view of the connected wooden back wall, and Figure 29 shows a partial view of the connected metal back wall.

[0043] In this embodiment, at least one clamping device 20 has at least one spring-loaded clamping portion 30, which has at least one clamping contour 31 facing the direction of the drawer side wall 1 and is substantially oriented laterally with respect to the drawer side wall 1. When inserting the edge of the back wall 19, the clamping portion 30 is displaced against the spring action so that the back wall 19 is pressed against the back wall 19 with the clamping contour 31 in the inserted state. The clamping contour 31 may have at least one reverse hook.

[0044] The clamping device 20 can be configured to hold both a substantially rectangular parallelepiped back wall 19 made of wood (see Figure 28) and a deformed back wall 19 made of metal material (see Figure 29) by clamping.

[0045] Figures 30 and 31 show the back wall holder 16 according to the fourth embodiment in a perspective view from the rear, that is, without the back wall 19 (Figure 30) and with the back wall 19 (Figure 31).

[0046] In this embodiment, at least one clamping device 20 has at least one rotatably supported clamping element 32, which can apply a clamping force to the back wall 19 in a direction laterally to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1. The clamping element 32 is supportable on the inner surface of the hollow profile of the drawer side wall 1 and can abut against the end face of the back wall 19. The clamping element 32 has an outer contour different from a rotationally symmetric cylindrical shape, which, when rotated, pushes aside the end face of the back wall 19, thereby applying a clamping force to the back wall 19 in a direction laterally to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1.

[0047] Figures 32 to 34 show the front wall holder 14 for connecting the front plate 18 to the drawer side wall 1, with Figure 32 being a perspective view, Figure 34 being an exploded view, and Figure 33 showing the adjustment of the connecting element 37 relative to the front wall holder 14.

[0048] The front wall holder 14 has at least one fixing device through which the connecting element 37 is preferably detachably fixed on and / or inside the front wall holder 14.

[0049] For this purpose, the fixing device may have at least one spring-loaded and slidably supported fixing lock 43, as shown in the illustrated case. The fixing lock 43 is provided with a spring 41 that applies force in the direction of the fixing position.

[0050] To connect the connecting element 37 to the fixed lock 43, the pin 42 of the connecting element 37 contacts the inclined surface 44 of the fixed lock 43, and at this time the fixed lock 43 is pushed out of the fixed position and to the released position against the force of the spring 41. The pin 42 overcomes the projection 45 and reaches into the recess 46 under the influence of the spring force. The fixed lock 43 is returned to the fixed position.

[0051] The fixed lock 43 has an actuator 47 on its underside for unlocking.

[0052] At least one adjustment device 48 is provided that allows the connecting element 37 to be adjusted relative to the drawer side wall 1 in at least a lateral direction 17 with respect to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1.

[0053] The adjustment device 48 may have a column 49, as shown in the illustrated case, which has an operating element 50 at a first end and an eccentric body 51 at a second end opposite to the first end. The column 49 can be supported within a corresponding notch 54 provided in the base of the connecting element 37. When the adjustment device 48 is operated, the eccentric body 51, which engages with or can engage with the connecting element 37, causes the connecting element 37 to slide relative to the drawer side wall 1 in a direction 17 lateral to the longitudinal direction 3 of the drawer side wall 1.

[0054] The connecting lever 36 of the connecting device 25 for removably connecting the drawer side wall 1 to the drawer guide 21 is supported by a connecting element 37 so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis 40. The connecting lever 36 is provided with a spring element 59 that applies force in the direction of the connecting position.

[0055] The front wall holder 14 has the same cross-sectional shape as the metal sheet piece 9, at least in the region of the groove 4. In particular, the front wall holder 14 has a receiving groove 52 that can accommodate the groove 4 of the metal sheet piece 9 in at least a predetermined region.

[0056] Figures 35 to 37 show another embodiment of the clamp lever 28 from a different viewpoint.

[0057] In this embodiment, the clamp lever 28 has two or more blades 29, the first blades 61, 62 are positioned on the first web 63 of the clamp lever 28, and the second blades 64, 65 are positioned on the second web 66 of the clamp lever 28, spaced apart from the first web 63.

[0058] The two webs 63 and 66 may be connected to each other via a transverse web 72. This results in a substantially U-shaped cross-section overall.

[0059] As is clear from Figure 37, the blades 61 and 62 have an angular offset relative to the blades 64 and 65 when viewed in the pivoting direction of the clamp lever 28. This causes the blades 61 and 64 and the blades 62 and 65 to engage with the material on the back wall 19 with a slight time delay, thereby reducing the force increase when the clamp lever 28 moves toward the clamping position.

[0060] Figures 38 and 39 show cross-sectional views of an assembly consisting of a drawer side wall 1, a back wall 19, and a back wall holder, where the clamp lever 28 is in the released position in Figure 38 and in the clamped position in Figure 39.

[0061] In this embodiment and the above-described embodiment in which the clamp lever was provided, the clamp lever 28 is supported on the back wall holder 16 so as to be rotatable about a pivot axis 60, the pivot axis 60 extending substantially perpendicular to the drawer side wall 1 and substantially horizontally when the drawer side wall 1 is in use.

[0062] The clamp lever 28 has at least two blades 61, 62 arranged in a common plane, the blades 61, 62 having different maximum radial extensions 67, 68 with respect to the pivot axis 60 of the clamp lever 28, the blades 61, 62 are positioned on the clamp lever 28 such that, in a series of movements of the clamp lever 28 toward the clamp position, the blade 61 with the relatively smaller maximum radial extension 67 can first sink into the material of the back wall 19, and then the blade 62 with the relatively larger maximum radial extension 68 can sink into the material. Such measures also help to reduce the increase in force when the clamp lever 28 moves toward the clamp position.

[0063] Blades 64 and 65 are formed in the same manner as blades 61 and 62.

[0064] Overall, the clamp lever 28 has four blades 61, 62, 64, and 65 in the embodiments shown in Figures 35 to 39.

[0065] Figures 40 to 42 show an assembly consisting of a drawer side wall 1, a back wall holder 16, and a back wall 19 according to another embodiment, in which case the back wall 19 occupies a different relative position to the drawer side wall 1.

[0066] When assembling the back wall 19, the clamp lever 28 may already be in the clamping position. If an attempt is made to push the back wall 19 into the back wall holder 16, there is a risk that the clamp lever 28 and / or the back wall 19 may be damaged, making proper assembly impossible. To avoid this, at least one retaining device 69 can be provided that holds the clamp lever 28 in the assembly position in a first position (see Figure 40) and releases the movement of the clamp lever 28 toward the clamping position in a second position (Figures 41 and 42).

[0067] In this case, the retaining device 69 is positioned in the back wall holder 16 such that the clamp lever 28 can move from a first position to a second position by the joining of the back wall 19 into the back wall holder 16, and / or the retaining device 69 is formed as a rotatably supported latch having a first end 70 for holding the clamp lever 28 in the assembly position and / or a second end 71 for contacting the back wall 19.

[0068] The latch may be positioned on the back wall holder so as to be tiltable about the tilt axis 73.

[0069] Preferably, the holding device 69 is integrally formed with the back wall holder.

[0070] The holding device 69 prevents the clamp lever 28 from being swung downward unless the back wall 19 is installed. By introducing the back wall 19 from the side, the latch is rotated by approximately 20 degrees, releasing the swivel distance of the clamp lever 28 (see Figure 41), and allowing the clamp lever to be swung to the clamp position (see Figure 42).

[0071] Figure 43 shows a drawer side wall 1 with a back wall holder 16 according to another embodiment. In this case, at least one clamping device 20 has at least two clamping levers 28 spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction, preferably the clamping levers 28 are arranged substantially mirror-symmetrically, as in the illustrated case. However, mirror-symmetric arrangement is not mandatory.

[0072] Providing at least two clamp levers 28 is advantageous, especially in the case of high drawer side walls 1, for stably holding the back wall 19.
