Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a container, preferably a drawer, comprising a container bottom, a container rear wall and at least one container side wall in the form of a side frame, wherein the side frame comprises at least one sheet metal profile made essentially of metal or plastic with a rear wall holder made essentially of metal or plastic arranged at least partially within the at least one sheet metal profile. The invention also relates to a piece of furniture with a furniture carcass and at least one such container. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a container. Background Art

[0002] Such containers are already known from the prior art, in which the container bottom is screwed to a container rail arranged on a sheet metal profile of the container side walls or side frames, and the container rear wall is screwed to a rear wall holder.

[0003] The disadvantage of the prior art is that the threaded connection requires pre-processing steps such as drilling threaded holes (Kern lochbohrung), cutting threads, etc. and high requirements are put forward for dimensional tolerances, so that the structural components to be connected are tightened relative to each other without stress and / or deflection. In the case of too high tightening torque, the container may be damaged or the service life may be reduced. In the case of insufficient tightening torque, there is a risk of structural components loosening when the container is used. In addition, by the tension given by the bolt, the bottom of the container is pulled to the container track, so that the gap between the bottom of the container and the side wall of the container can be reached from the inner space of the container, thereby weakening the visual appearance of the container and dirt appears in an enhanced manner. In addition, it has been shown in experiments that a large number of threaded connections are necessary, so that sufficient stability and / or strength of the container can be guaranteed for the common force effect on the container when in use. In addition, threaded connections in the form of nuts, bolt heads, etc. require structural space, wherein there is a risk of collision with other structural components and the container may be constructed to be less compact.

[0004] Further containers are known from documents WO 2021 / 032539 A1, DE 10 2008 024 673 A1, DE 10 2016120 587 A1 and WO 2011 / 094772 A1. Summary of the invention

[0005] The objective technical task of the present invention is therefore to describe a container and a piece of furniture and a method for producing a container which are improved compared to the prior art, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated and are distinguished in particular by an easily and quickly realizable, reliable and secure connection and / or a reduction in the number of necessary connecting parts and / or a secure arrangement of the connected structural components for reducing contamination.

[0006] This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 .

[0007] According to the invention, it is therefore provided that the container bottom and the at least one sheet metal profile and / or the container rear wall and the rear wall holder are connected at at least one connection point by means of nails via at least one nail connection.

[0008] Firstly, it can be achieved hereby that the production and / or assembly process of the container is carried out more quickly and simply, since no preliminary processing steps are required and the nails can be easily driven or driven into the container, for example by means of a nail gun, in order to produce the nail connection.

[0009] At least one nail connection offers the advantage that, in contrast to the tensile forces of the screws in the prior art, pressure can be applied via the nail, for example by means of a collar during the introduction of the nail, so that gaps due to component tolerances or provided for installation purposes can be adjusted and a secure connection can be created, wherein dirt on the visible area of ​​the container in the operating state can be reduced and / or the service life of the container can be increased.

[0010] By means of at least one nail connection, in particular by means of a collar between the wood and the plastic or metal which is obtained by means of the at least one nail connection, the holding force between the container bottom and the container side walls and / or the rear wall holder and the container rear wall can be increased. The components which are fastened relative to one another by means of the at least one nail connection are particularly suitable for lying against one another in the desired position, preferably in the vertical direction upwards in the state of use.

[0011] Due to the increased holding force of the at least one nail connection on the container, the number of connection points can be reduced. One nail is sufficient for each rear wall holder. In the conventional container side wall extension, three bolts are required for each side frame for the container bottom in the prior art, which can be replaced by one nail or at most two nails.

[0012] Particularly preferably, the connection point is positioned at the end region of the container bottom side edge (and if appropriate in the middle of the container bottom side edge) and / or in the center of the rear wall holder connection leg.

[0013] The container bottom, container rear wall, and container side walls may be part of a drawer; however, they are not limited to drawers in general.

[0014] At least one nail connection can be produced by plastic deformation caused by extrusion of the material, wherein by means of drilling through the solid material, a conical introduction of the nail into the steel can be effected with a strong holding force.

[0015] At least one nail connection can for example connect the structural parts of the container (except for the nails) directly in the form of metal to wood or metal to plastic or plastic to plastic or plastic to wood, wherein metal to metal is also conceivable. In general, the connection between wood and wood is not provided via at least one nail connection.

[0016] Furthermore, the positive property is that standard accessories can be used and no drilling or punching is required at the side frame, at the rear wall holder and / or at the container base or the container rear wall. Preferably, the nail is arranged substantially flush with the adjacent material at the at least one nail connection and can be introduced, if possible by plastic and / or elastic deformation, completely flush and / or slightly recessed relative to the surrounding material.

[0017] The nail is preferably in the form of quenched and tempered steel, particularly preferably quenched and tempered and / or electro-galvanized.

[0018] Particularly preferably, the metal material of the rear wall holder and / or the at least one sheet metal profile is in the form of steel. In general, however, plastics are also feasible for the rear wall holder and / or the at least one sheet metal profile.

[0019] As explained at the outset, protection is also claimed for a piece of furniture having a furniture body and at least one such container, wherein the at least one container is preferably supported on at least one loading rail via at least one container rail in a manner that it can be moved relative to at least one body rail arranged on the furniture body, wherein if possible at least one intermediate rail is movably arranged between the at least one loading rail and the at least one body rail.

[0020] If at least one intermediate rail is provided, it is possible to basically pull the container out completely relative to the furniture body. If at least one container rail is provided, the frame cover, which is generally formed by a single bent sheet metal profile, can be easily connected to the at least one loading rail and provide a support surface for the drawer bottom. However, it is generally also possible to dispense with the container rail.

[0021] As explained at the beginning, protection is also claimed for a method for producing such a container, in which the following method steps are performed: a container bottom, a container rear wall and at least one container side wall are provided, the at least one container side wall having at least one sheet metal profile made essentially of metal or plastic and a rear wall holder made essentially of metal or plastic, and the container bottom is connected to the at least one sheet metal profile at at least one connecting point, preferably via a nail gun by at least one nail connection, and / or the container rear wall is connected to the rear wall holder at at least one connecting point, preferably via a nail gun by at least one nail connection.

[0022] This allows a particularly rapid assembly process of the container, wherein the container is particularly stable and compact and the components are connected to one another particularly firmly and reliably, so that, for example, the number of connection points on the rear wall holder and / or the sheet metal profile can be reduced.

[0023] In general, nail connections can be produced using conventional nail guns, wherein the nail connection can be achieved particularly easily without high expenditure of force and quickly, thereby resulting in a particularly efficient installation process. In particular, a production method with a small number of fastening elements (such as lock nuts, etc.) and reduced material consumption can be ensured, wherein nails represent particularly economical fastening elements due to the low material requirement and / or do not require specialized personnel.

[0024] Generally speaking, as an alternative or in addition to a nail gun and / or manual introduction of the nail, the at least one nail connection can be performed fully automatically at the production facility.

[0025] Features of the device claim may be used in the method claim and vice versa. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0026] According to an advantageous design of the present invention, at least one connection point is formed between a container bottom and a connecting bridge of at least one sheet metal profile, preferably a container rail, wherein the connecting bridge is arranged transversely and / or orthogonally to a side wall of at least one sheet metal profile, preferably pointing toward the interior space of the container in the use state of the container, and / or is releasably connected to the side wall.

[0027] The connecting bridge can for example be formed directly by the curved sheet metal profile of the frame cover or be in a particularly releasable connection with the frame cover in the form of a container track. Through the connecting bridge, a support for the container bottom can be provided and the container bottom can be fixed to the side frame under the meaning of a dual function.

[0028] It is advantageously provided that at least one connection point is formed between a connection leg of the container rear wall and the rear wall holder, wherein the connection leg is arranged transversely and / or orthogonally to a side wall of at least one sheet metal profile which preferably points toward the interior space of the container in the container's usage state and / or is releasably connected to the side wall.

[0029] The connection of the container rear wall to the container side wall can be produced in a particularly stable manner by connecting the legs. The rear wall holder can be pushed into the container side wall in particular via a molding and / or an exact fit and can be fastened to the side frame in a positionally secure manner, if necessary, via a clamping connection and / or a screw connection.

[0030] It has proven to be expedient if the container bottom and / or the container rear wall are constructed from wood or plastic.

[0031] In general, the container bottom or the container rear wall can also be designed to be metallic, such as, for example, in the form of a steel sheet.

[0032] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the nail has a longitudinal extension of between 13 mm and 20 mm, preferably between 14 mm and 16 mm.

[0033] This length dimension ensures a secure fastening, without the container base or the container rear wall being drilled through in an undesirable manner or being recessed into the visible region by the nails.

[0034] Preferably, the nail shank diameter is between 1 mm and 3 mm, particularly preferably between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm.

[0035] Preferably, the top end of the nail shaft is ballistically configured.

[0036] It has proven to be advantageous that the nail has a nail shank and a nail head which is preferably separated from the nail shank by a groove, wherein the nail head is designed to be rectangular or oval, preferably circular, wherein it is preferably provided that the nail shank and / or the nail head are formed from hardened steel and / or the nail head has a nail head diameter of between 2.5 mm and 5.5 mm, particularly preferably between 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm.

[0037] In the case of an oval or round nail head, the risk of injury due to sharp edges and / or production-induced burrs is prevented. In the case of nails made of hardened steel, undesired deformations when penetrating the metal can be prevented. The nail head diameter can be used to keep the elastic and / or plastic deformations of the structural components to be connected within a desired range, wherein the visual appearance of the container can be improved and / or the nail head can be made substantially flush with the surrounding material.

[0038] It is likewise possible to use nail head diameters of between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm, preferably between 1.7 mm and 2.2 mm.

[0039] An advantageous variant of the invention provides that the nail head comprises at least one cutout, preferably present as an impression and / or in the form of two cutouts oriented orthogonally to one another, in order to remove the nail from the container, preferably by means of a screwdriver.

[0040] Particularly preferably, at least one cutout is produced at the nail head during the placement process or by firing via a nail gun (or generally by introducing the nail, for example by hammering). Generally speaking, the nail head is soft enough compared to the nail shaft so that at least one cutout can be introduced into the nail when producing the at least one nail connection. As a result, the nail can be adapted to the desired disassembly part flexibly and without pretreatment during the production method.

[0041] At least one cutout may also include another profile suitable for disassembly, such as a hexagonal profile, a torx profile, a Phillips screwdriver profile, a slotted screwdriver profile, a hexagonal profile, or the like.

[0042] Particularly preferably, the nail shaft comprises at least one shaped portion, preferably in the form of a groove and / or in the form of a thread, in order to remove the nail from the container, preferably by means of a screwdriver.

[0043] Despite the presence of at least one shaped portion, the nail can be driven or shot into the container (without rotation). In the prior art, the bolt must be screwed in via a thread. However, similar to the bolt, the screwing out of the nail is feasible via the at least one shaped portion.

[0044] Particularly preferably, the structural components are releasably connected to one another via at least one nail connection through at least one cutout and / or at least one shaped portion in order to maintain the advantage of possible disassembly without clamps as in conventional screw connections and at the same time retain the positive properties of the at least one nail connection.

[0045] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the front wall retainer is at least partially arranged in at least one sheet metal profile and is provided with a container front wall, wherein the container front wall is connected via nails at at least one connecting portion via at least one nail connection, wherein it is preferably provided that the covering layer is mounted on the container front wall at least in the region of at least one connecting portion.

[0046] It is also preferably provided that the container bottom and / or the container rear wall and / or the rear wall retainer and / or at least one sheet metal profile is constructed without openings and / or without recesses at least in the area of ​​at least one nail connection, preferably before the connection by nails and / or in addition to the connection openings generated by the nails.

[0047] By introducing at least one nail connection, it is possible to leave the structural components to be connected intact in the region of the connection point for the nail connection without openings (e.g. drill holes) and / or recesses (e.g. punch holes). or similar recesses). This preparatory process step can thus be omitted, whereby the production chain can be designed to be more efficient and / or simpler.

[0048] In another embodiment, it can be provided that a collar is constructed in the area of ​​at least one connecting portion via at least one nail connection between the container bottom and at least one sheet metal profile and / or between the container rear wall and the rear wall holder, wherein the container bottom is pressed against at least one sheet metal profile and / or the rear wall holder is pressed against the container rear wall, wherein it is preferably provided that, in the use state of the container, the container bottom is pressed upward in the vertical direction relative to the at least one sheet metal profile and / or the rear wall holder is pushed in the longitudinal direction relative to the container rear wall by the collar.

[0049] A particularly strong connection can be ensured by the at least one collar, wherein a friction fit can be produced along the connection opening and / or a form fit can be produced orthogonally to the connection opening, preferably by plastically and / or elastically pressing the metal material onto the wood material.

[0050] According to an advantageous design of the invention, it is provided that a gap between at least one sheet metal profile, preferably between side walls, if any, which face the interior space of the container when the container is in use, and / or a gap in the vertical direction upwards when the container is in use, can be adjusted by at least one nail connection, preferably by a collar if present, by pressure acting on the bottom of the container and / or by a tensile force acting on at least one sheet metal profile.

[0051] By means of the at least one nail connection and in a particularly efficient manner by means of the at least one collar, production-related component tolerances and / or gaps provided to simplify assembly can be adjusted. For example, the material of the container rail can be pressed onto the container bottom via the collar so that the container bottom rests against the side walls of the side frame.

[0052] If there is no free space between the side wall and the container bottom in the viewing direction into the interior of the container, contamination of the container in use can be reduced. Generally speaking, the gap between the container rail and the container bottom can be covered by other structural components, thereby additionally reducing the dirt of the container.

[0053] Preferably, it is provided that the nail is removed from the container, preferably by means of a screwdriver, via at least one cutout arranged on the nail head and / or via at least one shaped portion arranged on the nail shaft.

[0054] This allows the container to be disassembled after installation despite the presence of at least one nail connection, for example to carry out maintenance or repair work, thereby increasing the service life of the container. In the case of nail connections, the nails usually have to be removed laboriously using pliers, whereas at least one cutout and / or at least one shaped portion (e.g. a thread, which can be injected into the material) allows for user-friendly disassembly using a screwdriver.

[0055] It is furthermore preferably provided that, in a preparatory method step immediately prior to the introduction of at least one nail connection, the container bottom and / or the container rear wall and / or the rear wall holder and / or at least one sheet metal profile are provided without openings and / or without recesses at least in the area of ​​the at least one nail connection, preferably prior to the connection by nails and / or apart from the connection openings to be generated via the nails.

[0056] It is particularly preferably provided that, during the introduction of at least one nail connection, a collar is formed in the area of ​​at least one connecting portion via at least one nail connection between the container bottom and at least one sheet material profile and / or between the container rear wall and the rear wall holder, wherein the container bottom is pressed against at least one sheet material profile and / or the rear wall holder is pressed against the container rear wall, wherein it is preferably provided that, in the use state of the container, the container bottom is pressed upwards in a vertical direction relative to at least one sheet material profile and / or the rear wall holder is pushed in a longitudinal direction relative to the container rear wall by the collar.

[0057] According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the gap between at least one sheet metal profile, preferably between the side walls and / or the gap in the vertical direction upwards in the use state of the container is adjusted by at least one nail connection, preferably by a collar if present, by pressure acting on the bottom of the container and / or by a tensile force acting on at least one sheet metal profile.

[0058] It is particularly preferably provided that during the introduction of at least one nail connection, at least one cutout is introduced into the nail head of the nail, preferably by means of a nail gun. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0066] Figure 1 A container 1 in the form of a drawer is clearly shown in an exploded view, wherein the container 1 comprises a container bottom 2 , a container rear wall 3 and two container side walls 4 in the form of side frames.

[0067] The side frames or container side walls 4 each comprise a sheet metal profile 5 in the form of a container rail 10 , which comprises a side wall 13 , wherein the side wall 13 is arranged substantially parallel to the outer wall section of the container side wall 4 .

[0068] The sheet metal profile 5 is constructed from metal in the form of steel. Two rear wall holders 6 which can be arranged partially within the sheet metal profile 5 are constructed from metal. Generally speaking, the sheet metal profile or the rear wall holder 6 can also be constructed from plastic.

[0069] The container bottom 2, the container rear wall 3, the two rear wall holders 6 and the sheet metal profile 5 are connected to the nail connection 7 to be introduced (see Figure 2 ) in the region before the connection by the nail 8 and in addition to the connection opening 26 generated by the nail 8 (see Figure 3 ) is configured to be without openings and without cavities. The number of nails to be introduced is generally arbitrary and can vary depending on the structural size of the container 1.

[0070] Figure 2 The container 1 is shown in the installed state via six nail connections 7, wherein it can be seen in the enlarged detail that the nail heads 18 are arranged substantially flush with the container side walls 4. In a similar manner, the nail heads 18 are arranged substantially flush with the rear wall holder 6 at the rear wall holder 6, wherein for the substantially flush arrangement, for example, elastic or plastic deformations caused by the action of forces during the introduction process of the nails 8 can be used.

[0071] The container bottom 2 and the container rear wall 3 are formed from wood, wherein in general it is also possible to use plastic or metal as raw material, for example.

[0072] The container bottom 2 is connected at the container rail 10 of the container side wall 4 and the container rear wall 3 is connected at the rear wall holder 6 at multiple connection points by nail connections 7 realized by nails 8. Generally speaking, it is also possible to provide (at least one) nail connection 7 only at the container bottom 2 or the container rear wall 3.

[0073] The connection point is formed between the container bottom 2 and a connection bridge 9 in the form of a container rail 10 as a sheet metal profile 5, which is connected to the sheet metal profile 5 in the form of a side wall 13 of the frame. The connection bridge 9 is arranged transversely and orthogonally to the side wall 13 of the sheet metal profile 5 which points to the interior 12 of the container 1 in the use state of the container 1 and is releasably connected to the side wall 13.

[0074] The other connection point is formed between the container rear wall 3 and the connection leg 14 of the rear wall holder 6, wherein the connection leg 14 is arranged transversely and orthogonally to the interior space 12 of the container 1 (see Figure 3 ) and is releasably connected to the side wall 13 of the side frame.

[0075] Figure 3 The upper part of the container 1 is shown in a view rotated 180° relative to the use state, wherein the section line is led through the nail connection 7 between the container bottom 2 and the container side wall 4. The sectional view is shown below with an enlarged detail in the area of ​​the nail 8.

[0076] In the enlarged detail of the nail connection 7 it can be seen that during the introduction of the nail connection 7 a collar 27 is formed in the region of the connection point between the container bottom 2 and the sheet metal profile 5 via the nail connection 7, which is formed by the container rail 10 when connected to the frame cover of the side frame.

[0077] The container bottom 2 is pressed by the collar 7 onto the sheet metal profile 5 formed by the side walls 13 of the frame cover of the side frame, wherein in the use state of the container 1, the container bottom 2 is pressed upwards in the vertical direction 28 relative to the side walls 13 of the sheet metal profile 5 by the collar 27.

[0078] The gap between the side wall 13 of the sheet metal profile 5 (facing the interior 12 of the container 1 from above in the vertical direction 28 and the container bottom 1) is adjusted via the nail connection 7 and through the collar 27 in the vertical direction 28 upwards by pressure on the container bottom 2. Contamination between the interior 12 and the side wall 13 is reduced by the at least linear (or planar) contact between the side wall 13 and the container bottom 2.

[0079] Such a collar 27 is also present between the rear wall holder 6 and the container rear wall 3 , wherein the rear wall holder 6 is pressed in the longitudinal direction 29 relative to the container rear wall 3 .

[0080] The rear wall holder 6 is pressed onto the container rear wall 3 via the nail connection 7 and the collar 27 , wherein in particular production-related component tolerances and / or gaps provided to simplify assembly can be adjusted.

[0081] In the enlarged detail it can be seen that by introducing the spike 8 a connecting opening 26 is formed in the container bottom 2 (and the container rear wall 3 ) and the container side wall 4 (and the rear wall holder 6 ), which did not exist before the introduction of the spike 8 .

[0082] Schematically represented by dashed lines, the container 1 comprises a front wall holder 23 for at least partial arrangement in the sheet metal profile 5 and a container front wall 24, wherein the container front wall 24 can be connected to the front wall holder 23 of the container side wall 4 via a nail connection 7 by nails 8 at at least one connection point. In order to improve the aesthetic appearance of the visually visible container front wall 24, a cover layer 25 is applied to the container front wall 24 in the region of the connection point after the nail connection 7 has been introduced.

[0083] Figure 4 Three embodiments of the nail 8 are shown, wherein features of one embodiment may be applied to the other two embodiments.

[0084] The nail 8 shown on the left comprises a nail head 18 and a nail shank 16, wherein an elongated cutout 20 is implemented as a stamped or cut groove in order to be able to remove the nail 8 from the container 1 via a screwdriver. The nail head 18 is shaped circular in cross section.

[0085] The nail shaft 16 and the nail head 18 are formed from hardened steel. During the placement of the nail 8, the cutout 20 of the nail head 18 is introduced into the nail head 18 by means of a nail gun 32 in the sense of embossing by means of plastic deformation.

[0086] The nail shaft 16 comprises a shaping 21 in the form of a thread 22, so that the nail 8 can be removed from the container via a screwdriver. Generally speaking, the shaping 21 can also be configured in the form of a groove, in particular in addition to a thread.

[0087] The nail 8 shown in the middle comprises a nail head 18 which is spaced apart from the nail shank 16 by a recess 17, wherein the nail head is designed to be oval. The nail head 18 has a nail head diameter 19 of between 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm.

[0088] The nail 8 shown on the right has a longitudinal extension 15 of between 14 mm and 16 mm. The nail head 18 of the nail 8 is designed in a rectangular shape.

[0089] Figure 5 The container 1 is shown during the introduction of a nail connection 7 between a container rail 8, which is releasably arranged at the frame cover of the side frame, and the container bottom 2 via a nail gun 32 (in general, a material-fit connection is also possible). In general, the nail connection 7 can also be introduced manually or fully automatically at the device.

[0090] The method for the production of the container 1 can be presented as follows by way of example, without enforcing a chronological relationship:

[0091] - in a preparatory method step immediately before the introduction of the nail connection 7, in the region of the nail connection 7 to be introduced, before the connection by means of the nail 8 and apart from the connection opening 26 to be produced via the nail 8, the container bottom 2, the container rear wall 3, the rear wall holder 6 and the sheet metal profile 5 are provided without openings and without recesses, wherein two container side walls 4 are present with the sheet metal profile 5 made of metal or plastic and the rear wall holder 6 made of metal or plastic,

[0092] - The container bottom 2 is connected to the sheet metal profile 5 at multiple connection locations via nail gun 32 via nail connections 7 via respective nails 8 (via the container rail 10, but this is not mandatory), and the container rear wall 3 is connected to the rear wall holder 6 at respective connection locations via nail gun 32 via nail connections 7 via respective nails 8.

[0093] Whenever it is desired to dismantle the container 1, this can be done, for example, by means of a screwdriver via the cutout 20 arranged at the nail head 18 (not shown in the illustration for reasons of clarity, see Figure 4 ) or by removing the nail 8 from the container 1 via the molding 21 arranged at the nail rod 16.

[0094] Figure 6 Differs only in the following respects Figure 5 , that is, the nail gun 32 is used during the introduction of the nail connection 7 between the rear wall holder 6 and the container rear wall 3 .

[0095] In general, it is possible to connect only the rear wall holder 6 to the container rear wall 3 or only the container side walls 4 to the container bottom 2 via nail connections 7. However, it is particularly preferred to introduce (at least one in each case) nail connections 7 at all these components.

[0096] After the nail connection 7 has been introduced into the container 1, the container is ready for connection to a piece of furniture having a furniture body, wherein the container 1 can be supported on a loading rail via a container rail 10 in a manner that it can be moved relative to a body rail arranged on the furniture body, and if possible, an intermediate rail can be movably arranged between the loading rail and the body rail.
