Description

field of technology

[0001] The invention relates to a mounting frame for a removable container, which is mounted in extension rails. State of the art

[0002] Mounting frames in which a container is removable are known in various respects. Reference is made, for example, to DE 44 16 237 A1, EP 1 716 783 A2, DE 198 42 666 A1, DE 20 2014 102 726 U1, DE 4 335 742 C2, and EP 1 886 596 A2. A wire frame connecting extension rails is known from US 6 491 173 B1 and DE 92 07 231 U1. With respect to one extension direction, the wire frame has a transverse connection on the front and bottom of the container. This transverse connection is also designed as a pull-out handle.

[0003] For mounting frames installed in cabinets, which feature a removable container via extension rails, especially telescopic extension rails, a simple yet robust design is desired, one that also allows for the handling and transport of heavier loads. Such a container should also be easily removable during daily use. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on the prior art presented, the invention initially addresses the problem of providing a combination of a mounting frame with a removable container located therein, wherein the mounting frame can be extended via extension rails, for example when installed in a cabinet, which can be designed to be robust while being easy to handle.

[0005] The invention also addresses the problem of specifying an advantageous combination of an extendable support frame with a removable container with an upper container rim included therein.

[0006] The aforementioned problem is solved according to a first teaching of the invention in the subject matter of claim 1, wherein the support frame is U-shaped in a top view, with opposing U-legs each being assigned to an extension rail and having a direction of extension corresponding to an extension direction of the extension rail, and a U-web connecting the U-legs having a direction of extension perpendicular to the extension direction of an extension rail. In this respect, the U-web connects the rear end regions of the U-legs together when viewed in the extension direction and / or the support frame has a support element projecting from a surface of the support frame.

[0007] The further problem mentioned is solved in the subject matter of claim 9, wherein the support frame is open at the front in an extension direction, a part of the container rim extending forward in the extension direction can serve as a handle for extending the support frame with the container held in the support frame, and the container is held in the support frame by a snap-fit ​​or clamping mechanism on the part of the container rim extending rearward in the extension direction.

[0008] A mounting frame is implemented, but it is formed in a somewhat incomplete manner. It is U-shaped or shaped like a rectangle open on one side. In its installed position, the mounting frame extends entirely in a horizontal plane that penetrates all its sections. The U-shaped legs and the U-shaped web extend at the same height regardless of the extended position. The mounting frame preferably does not extend under the container. Viewed in the extension direction, the U-shaped web can connect the rear end sections of the U-shaped legs.

[0009] The container, which is removable from the mounting frame, can be removed forward in the direction of extension without obstruction from the mounting frame. In the direction of extension, the mounting frame does not form a positive-locking grip on the front of the container at the free ends of the U-shaped legs.

[0010] As explained below, while some tilting may be necessary to remove the container, it is preferably not necessary to lift the entire container to remove it from the mounting frame. It is preferably not necessary to first move it upwards and then forwards in the pull-out direction. With the exception of the aforementioned tilting, if required, the container can be pulled forwards at virtually the same height. It does not need to be lifted over a front crossbar or section of the mounting frame.

[0011] A front opening of the mounting frame preferably corresponds to the relevant dimension (width) of the container or even slightly exceeds it.

[0012] A front opening of the mounting frame may have a mounting element. The mounting element may interact with a container rim to secure the container within the mounting frame.

[0013] The mounting part can have a hook-shaped cross-section.

[0014] The mounting part can preferably be assigned to the U-shaped support of the U-shaped mounting frame.

[0015] The mounting part can extend upwards from the top of the mounting frame, in particular the U-shaped web.

[0016] The U-shaped web of the mounting frame can be longer than one leg of the U when viewed from above. Therefore, the mounting frame, including the undefined side, describes a rectangle whose longer side runs perpendicular to one of the extension directions.

[0017] The two U-shaped legs of the mounting frame can be of the same length.

[0018] The extension rails can be further supported by a mounting element in relation to the installation state. In a vertical section, the mounting element, with its outer lateral encirclement of the extension rails, allows for a suspended attachment of the extension rails, together with the mounting frame, to a mounting base extending above the extension rails. The mounting base is, for example, located in a cabinet into which the described arrangement can be installed.

[0019] The container preferably sits in the mounting frame on the upper side of the U-shaped legs and / or the U-shaped web by means of a projection formed at its upper edge. The container is preferably suspended from the mounting frame. Brief description of the drawings

[0020] The invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, which, however, only represents an exemplary embodiment. Here, the drawing shows: Fig. 1. A perspective front view of the combination of mounting frame, container and mounting element; Fig. 2 an installation situation of the combination according to Fig. 1 in a cupboard; Fig. 3 a perspective view of the mounting frame with the extension rails attached to it; Fig. 4 a view according to Fig. 3, with attached container; and Fig. 5 a view according to Fig. 4, with additional mounting element attached, in a view from a slanted front. Description of the embodiments

[0021] Fig. Figure 1 shows the entirety of a mounting device 1, which initially consists essentially of a mounting frame 2 (see Fig. 3), a mounting element 5 and a container 4, which may already be suspended therein. The mounting frame 2 is extended by means of telescopic extension rails 3 (see also here). Fig. 3) Movable. A fixed rail 21 of the telescopic extension rails 3 can be mounted in a cabinet 7, into which the mounting device 1 is to be installed, or on the mounting element 5. The fixed rail 21 can also be mounted both on the mounting element 5 and on the cabinet 7, into which the mounting device 1 is to be installed.

[0022] The container 4 can serve various purposes. In the exemplary embodiment, it is designed as a laundry basket, with the usual perforations on one container wall 6. The container 4 could also be a waste container, in which case the container walls 6 are suitably designed without holes or openings. On the other hand, waste containers are also known that have holes or openings and in which the waste is then collected by means of a bag, in particular a plastic bag, that is inserted or hung inside.

[0023] A possible installation situation for the installation device 1 according to Fig. 1 is in Fig. Figure 2 shows an open cabinet 7 with a cabinet base 8. The mounting element 5 is attached to the underside of the cabinet base 8, approximately by means of the Fig. 1. The screw holes 22 are also visible. The screw holes 22 are formed in a ceiling section 23 that extends horizontally in the installed state. This allows the mounting element 5 to be attached in the installation example shown. Fig. 2 attached to an underside of the cabinet base 8, in particular by screws.

[0024] Alternatively or additionally, the mounting element 5 can also be attached to a cabinet wall 25 by means of the screw holes 24 shown further in a vertical section (relating to the installation state).

[0025] The hanging container 4 is in Fig. 2 with its front container wall 6 visible in the direction of extension R. An upper container rim 9 can immediately serve as a pull-out handle for a user. By pulling on the container rim 9, not only is the container 4 itself pulled out, but the container 4 together with the mounting frame 2.

[0026] In order to be able to pull out the mounting frame 2 together with the container 4, the container 4 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 2. In the exemplary embodiment, this detachable connection is achieved by a locking mechanism. For this purpose, the pull-out frame 2, as further shown, has Fig. Figure 3 shows one, or in the exemplary embodiment specifically two, mounting parts 10. The mounting parts 10 preferably have a hook-shaped cross-section. In the exemplary embodiment, both mounting parts 10 are attached to the U-shaped web 11, a top surface of the U-shaped web 11.

[0027] As can be seen in particular from Fig. As 3 results, the mounting frame 2 with its U-shaped web 11 and U-shaped legs 12 extends in a common vertical band H, the vertical extent of which, relative to the installed state, is practically the same for both the U-shaped legs and the U-shaped web. With respect to a horizontal plane passing through the U-shaped legs and the U-shaped web in the installed state, preferably neither the U-shaped legs nor the U-shaped web exhibit an angle downwards or upwards.

[0028] The U-shaped support 11 connects the two U-shaped legs 12 of the support frame 2, which is U-shaped overall when viewed from above.

[0029] A support element 10 has a substantially vertically extending section 13 and a support element 14 projecting in a hook-like manner from section 13 in the extension direction R. The support element 14 is preferably formed extending downwards from a raised area of ​​section 13. It thus forms an undercut into which a support element of the container 4 can engage. In the exemplary embodiment, and preferably, the support element is formed by the container rim 9, which extends upwards in the installed state, which preferably lies in the same plane with respect to the U-shaped legs 12 and the U-shaped web 11.

[0030] The mounting part 10 can be provided as a sheet metal or plastic part, bent or injection-molded in the shape shown. It can also have a base 16, as shown, by which it is attached to the surface 15, in this case the U-shaped web 11. It can be bonded or welded in place.

[0031] The U-shaped legs 12 are further connected to the extension rails 3, as can be seen on their respective outer sides. In the exemplary embodiment, three rails can be distinguished: an inner rail 17, which is directly connected to an outer side, preferably a vertical outer side, of a U-shaped leg 12, a middle rail 18, and an outer rail 19.

[0032] The U-shaped legs 12 have a direction of extension that corresponds to an extension direction R of the extension rails. In the exemplary embodiment, and preferably, the orientations of the U-shaped legs 12 and the U-shaped web 11 are clearly formed at right angles to each other, with the exception of the rounded corners.

[0033] Referring to the aforementioned top view, the U-shaped web 11 has a greater length than a U-shaped leg 12. The U-shaped legs 12 are identical to each other, in particular with the same length.

[0034] With reference to Fig. Figure 4 shows that the container 4 is suspended in the mounting frame 2 by means of projections 17 extending over the top of the U-shaped webs. In the exemplary embodiment, and preferably, two such projections 17 are formed on each of the U-shaped legs 12 of the container 4. There could also be only one such projection.

[0035] In principle, one or more such projections could also be formed associated with the U-shaped web 11. However, this is not the case in the exemplary embodiment, nor is it the preferred embodiment.

[0036] Furthermore, the container walls 6, which extend in the direction of the U-legs 12, are arranged such that the container 4 cannot be moved in the direction of one of the U-legs 12 to such an extent that the projections 17 on the other U-leg 12 no longer engage and the container 4 would accordingly fall out by tipping.

[0037] In Fig. 4 can also be seen that the retaining parts 10 extend over the container rim 9, which in this embodiment and preferably is formed as a vertically upright circumferential band.

[0038] To remove the container 4 from the mounting frame 2, the container 4 must be lifted in a slightly tilted manner so that it can then be easily pulled out from under the mounting parts 10. For this purpose, with the mounting frame 2 extended, the front of the container 4 must be lifted slightly so that the rear edge 9 of the container tilts sufficiently to allow the container to be pulled out from under the mounting parts 10. Alternatively, one of the mounting parts 10 can also be designed as a locking element that can be overridden by pulling firmly, without requiring the container to be tilted.

[0039] As can be seen in particular on Fig. As shown in section 5, the retaining element 5 is also essentially U-shaped in cross-section, with the corresponding retaining U-web 26 forming a lid-like overlap. In the exemplary embodiment, it is preferably designed as a closed wall, but could also be reduced to one or more struts.

[0040] The U-shaped bracket legs 19 of the mounting element 5 have an inwardly angled projection 20, relative to a cross-section. With this projection 20, they engage under a U-shaped bracket 12 or, at least, the telescopic extension rails 3. Thus, the entire installation device 1 can be suspended in a cabinet 7, as described, with the mounting frame 2 in turn suspended in the mounting element 5 by means of the telescopic extension rails.
