Description

[0001] The invention relates to a method for coating a drawer frame, in particular a metal frame with veneer, according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] It is known from the prior art to use drawers in furniture, particularly kitchen and office furniture, that are not made of solid wood for cost reasons, but instead use steel side and rear frames connected to the front and back panels by screw or plug-in connections, forming the base of the drawer. These steel frame systems are often pre-assembled in automated assembly processes in the kitchen furniture industry and then inserted into the kitchen cabinets.

[0003] However, in the upper price segment, there is increasing demand for higher-quality solutions, especially wooden drawers, whose production involves considerably more complex logistics than steel drawer systems. Furthermore, wooden drawers require the use of technically different guide systems, resulting in significant cost disadvantages due to the associated design changes and the significantly higher assembly effort required to assemble wooden drawers.

[0004] Therefore, wooden drawer systems are continually being developed that offer a certain degree of compatibility with certain steel drawer frames, making them easier to integrate into industrial kitchen furniture manufacturing processes than traditional solid wood drawers. However, the systems currently available on the market only meet this requirement to a limited extent, as the functionality of steel drawer frames can hardly be achieved with a wooden or wood-based material frame.

[0005] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method by which industrially manufactured steel frame drawer systems can be redesigned with little effort while retaining their production-technical advantages in such a way that their external appearance corresponds to that of a wooden drawer.

[0006] This object is achieved according to the invention by a method having the features of claim 1.

[0007] A further object of the invention is to provide a casing part and its use with which the frames, in particular metal frames of a steel frame drawer system, can be adapted with little effort in terms of their visual appearance to the frames of a wooden drawer.

[0008] This object is achieved according to the invention by a sheath and a use thereof having the features of claims 10 and 11.

[0009] The drawers or drawers manufactured using the method according to the invention have the advantage that they have a visually very appealing real wood appearance and are perceived by users as a particularly high-quality wooden drawer in contrast to the bland, single-colored steel frames.

[0010] A further advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the veneer-coated drawer systems can be assembled in the usual way for steel frame drawer systems, cost-effectively and at high production speed using the equipment available in the industry.

[0011] The advantage of the method according to the invention lies in the manufacturing process itself, since the known steel frames cannot be covered with the classic veneering methods.

[0012] The side panels / frames are sheet steel constructions with integrated functional elements. This allows for easy snap-on of the front panel, as well as height, side, and tilt adjustment, and allows for easy assembly of the drawer after the covering has been applied.

[0013] According to the invention, suitable coating materials, such as wood veneers or covering materials such as leather, linoleum, and laminates, with which the frame is to be coated, are preferably coated as a bellows or roll material with an adhesive substrate, in particular with a double-sided adhesive film, the outer adhesive surface of which is covered in a known manner by a removable protective film after application. Alternatively, the adhesive layer can be designed as a reactive adhesive, such as a hot melt adhesive, which is applied, for example, as a spray film onto the inside or, alternatively, by rolling.

[0014] Veneers, especially wood veneers, are preferably used as the coating material. These veneers already have a largely finished surface and are supplied in rolls. For veneers, the use of fleece-backed, sanded, primed, and / or varnished veneers is preferred.

[0015] In a next step, precisely fitting cuts for the coating are created from the raw material, e.g. by punching, milling, sawing as well as laser or water jet cutting, which have the outer dimensions of the respective outer surface of the frame to be covered, and into which the required openings are also made, which, after the frame has been covered, provide access to the recesses formed in it, in particular for screw connections.

[0016] The prefabricated individual parts are then assembled to form a complete, precisely fitting sheathing piece. This is preferably done by gluing them to a thin wooden strip along the top edge to increase stability and allow for sanding. Optionally, the sheathing piece can be formed by creating V-shaped grooves along the two upper longitudinal edges of the sheathing piece on the side that, in the finished sheathing piece, forms the inner surfaces adjacent to the outside of the frame. Folding the two side sections of the blank, which form the legs of the U-shaped sheathing piece in a direction orthogonal to the plane of the blank.

[0017] The use of approximately 1-3 mm thick wooden strips, which can be glued to the veneer, particularly between the two V-shaped grooves, or of veneers glued multiple times along the top edge, i.e., the spine of the sheathing, advantageously results in highly resilient longitudinal edges, similar to solid wood edge banding on tabletops. It is advantageous to apply adhesive to the V-shaped grooves before or after folding the side sections. After curing, this adhesive ensures that the side sections retain their orthogonal position relative to the spine.

[0018] The sheathing part can then be finished, e.g., by milling and grinding, which is preferably done primarily on the upper edge. The outer visible surfaces of the sheathing part are preferably pre-finished to a largely finished surface, so that they require no further finishing.

[0019] Furthermore, it can optionally be provided that the surface of the sheathing part is refined in a further step, depending on the raw material, e.g. by painting.

[0020] The finished covering part is then applied to the drawer frame. To do this, the protective film is removed and the sides are opened, for example, using vacuum suction cups that grip the side sections and spread them apart in a V-shape.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the invention, liquid adhesive is applied to the upper edge of the frame before placing the covering part on the frame, as an adhesive film in this area would complicate application. Alternatively, it is possible to position the covering part with the spine facing down, spread it open using the vacuum suction cups, apply the adhesive from above to the inner surface of the spine section, and then insert the frame into the covering part from above.

[0022] Instead of a double-sided adhesive film, a reactivatable adhesive can also be applied, e.g. a hot melt adhesive, which is either applied hot or reactivated with heat after the sheathing part has been placed on the frame.

[0023] Alternatively, traditional wet gluing is also possible. Unlike the use of adhesive films or reactivatable adhesives, these methods require the application of a certain amount of pressure, which requires a correspondingly stable frame.

[0024] The invention is described below with reference to the drawings using preferred embodiments of the invention.

[0025] The drawings show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of two strip-shaped veneer parts, each with a side section formed by punching, to which double-sided adhesive tape is applied to provide the first and second adhesive sections, Fig. 2 a schematic spatial representation of a sheathing part according to the invention before gluing the side sections to the back section, Fig. 3 a schematic spatial representation of the firmly bonded sheathing part of Fig. 2 when sanding, Fig. 4 a schematic spatial representation of a firmly bonded sheathing part during spraying of a coloring or impregnating coating material, Fig. 5 a front view of the casing part spread open by suction cups before being placed on a drawer frame to be coated or covered, Fig. 6 a spatial representation of a finished coated drawer frame, and Fig. 7 a spatial representation of a further embodiment of the invention, in which the sheathing part is formed from a continuous single strip-shaped veneer part, into which two V-shaped grooves are introduced, along which the side sections are folded in the orthogonal direction to the plane of the veneer part.

[0026] As in the Fig. 1 to 7 is used to coat a Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, which is preferably a metal frame, with veneer 2, firstly an elongated casing part 4 with a U-shaped cross section is provided, which, for example, in the final form in Fig. 4. This has a back section 4.r, which has a width b corresponding to the width B of the upper longitudinal edge 1.r of the frame 1, and two side sections 4.1, 4.2 made of veneer 2, extending essentially parallel to one another at right angles therefrom. The side sections 4.1, 4.2 each have a height h corresponding essentially to the height H of the frame 1 to be coated or clad and a length 1 corresponding to the length L of the frame 1.

[0027] As in the Fig. 2, Fig. 4 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, the mutually facing inner surfaces 4.1i, 4.2i of the side sections 4.1, 4.2 are provided with an adhesive section 6.1, 6.2, which extends over a part of the height h of each side section 4.1, 4.2. The two side sections 4.1, 4.2 further each have an adhesive-free transition section 8.1, 8.2 arranged between the adhesive section 6.1, 6.2 and the back section 4.r, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is shown.

[0028] In order to fix the covering part 4 to the frame 1 to be coated, adhesive 10, in particular liquid adhesive or a heat-reactivatable adhesive, is applied to the upper longitudinal edge 1.r of the frame 1 or to the inside 4.ri of the back section 4.r of the covering part 4, as shown in the sectional view of Fig. 5 is indicated.

[0029] Subsequently, the free ends 4.1.a, 4.2.a of the side sections 4.1, 4.2 of the casing part 4 are spread open and the spread out casing part 4 is placed on the upper longitudinal edge 1.r of the frame 1, which is indicated by the unspecified arrow in Fig. 5 is indicated.

[0030] Finally, the spread free ends 4.1a, 4.2a of the side sections 4.1, 4.2, which are preferably held in the spread apart position by means of suction devices 20 which are only schematically indicated, are Fig. 5 are held, moved towards each other so that the adhesive sections 6.1, 6.2 on the inner surfaces 4.1i, 4.2i of the first and second side sections 4.1, 4.2 rest on the respective outer surface 1.1, 1.2 of the frame 1 and are glued to it.

[0031] After the liquid adhesive 10 has hardened, a Fig. 6, the frame 1 covered with veneer 2, the metal core of which can be connected in the manner known for such industrially manufactured drawer systems by means of the usual fastening elements of the drawer systems, such as screws and / or metal hooks, to the standardized front panels and rear walls of the respective systems (not shown in detail) to form a drawer, which gives the viewer the impression of a hand-made wooden drawer.

[0032] In a first embodiment of the method according to the invention, as shown in Fig. 1, a first and a second strip-shaped veneer part 100.1, 100.2 are provided, each having a straight upper edge 102.1 and lower edge as well as an inner surface 100.1.i and 100.2.i facing the outer surface 1.1 and 1.2 of the frame 1. A first adhesive layer 10 is then applied to this inner surface 100.1i, 100.2i of the respective strip-shaped veneer part 100.1, 100.2 at a distance from the straight upper edge 102.1 or 102.2 in such a way that the first adhesive section 6.1 and the first adhesive-free transition section 8.1 arranged between the upper edge 102.1 of the first veneer part 100.1 and the first adhesive section 6.1 as well as the second adhesive-free transition section 8.2 arranged between the upper edge 102.2 of the second veneer part 100.2 and the second adhesive section 6.2 are created.

[0033] Furthermore, a Fig. 2, a strip-shaped back element 12 is provided with an outer longitudinal section, which forms the back section 4r, and two parallel side surfaces 12.1 and 12.2 arranged at a right angle to this. This is glued to the respective transition section 8.1, 8.2 of the first and second veneer parts 100.1, 100.2 in the region of the respective straight upper edges 102.1, 102.2 with the parallel side surfaces 12.1 and 12.2 of the strip-shaped back element 12 to form a sheathing part 4, as shown in Fig. 2 is indicated.

[0034] After gluing, the side sections 4.1, 4.2 of the casing part 4, which is U-shaped in cross section, can be processed before gluing to the strip-shaped back element 12, in particular cut to the desired height and / or width and / or length and preferably provided with punched openings 14 through which, for example, the clamping elements for fastening the frame 1 to the front and rear walls of the drawers can then be actuated.

[0035] According to a further embodiment of the invention, it may alternatively be provided to Fig. 7, preferably by appropriate cutting or punching from roll material. The continuous strip-shaped veneer part 200 has a width that essentially corresponds to the sum of the heights h of the first and second side sections 4.1, 4.2 plus the width of the back section 4.r.

[0036] A first, preferably V-shaped groove 200.1 and a second, preferably V-shaped groove 200.2 are then introduced into the connected individual strip-shaped veneer part 200 at a distance of half the width of the back section 4.r on both sides of a central longitudinal axis 210 over the length of the individual strip-shaped veneer part 200, as shown in Fig. 7 is indicated.

[0037] Before or after the introduction of the two grooves 200.1 and 200.2, a first and second adhesive layer is applied to the upper side of the individual strip-shaped veneer part 200, ie to the side of the veneer part on which the grooves 200.1, 200.2 are introduced, at a distance from the first and second V-shaped grooves 200.1, 200.2, which form the first and second adhesive sections 6.1, 6.2 and define the adhesive-free transition section 8.1, 8.2 arranged between the adhesive sections 6.1, 6.2 and the back section 4.r.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, adhesive, in particular liquid adhesive 10, can next be introduced into the first and second V-shaped grooves 200.1, 200.2, and the section of the individual strip-shaped veneer part 200 arranged outside the back section 4.r is then folded at a right angle to the sheathing part 4 which is U-shaped in cross section, as shown in the Fig. 7 is indicated by the dashed arrows. After the adhesive 10 has hardened, the sheathing part 4, which is stable in its shape, can be removed as shown in Fig. 3 indicated on its outside sanded and / or desired case, as in Fig. 4 shown, painted.

[0039] As the applicant has found, it is particularly advantageous with regard to simple and cost-effective production and handling of the prepared sheathing parts 4 if the provision of the sheathing part 4 which is U-shaped in cross section and has the back section 4.r corresponding to the width of the upper longitudinal edge 1.r of the frame 1 and the two side sections 4.1, 4.2 made of veneer 2 provided on their inner side 4.1i, 4.2i with a respective first and second adhesive layer 10.1, 10.2 is carried out by unwinding and processing strip-shaped veneer 2 rolled up into a coil.

[0040] Furthermore, according to a further concept underlying the invention, the adhesive sections 6.1, 6.2 on the first and second side sections 4.1, 4.2 are formed by double-sided adhesive tape, the upper side of which is covered by a removable protective film after application. The double-sided adhesive tape is preferably applied as a roll to the upper side of the strip-shaped veneer parts 200 during longitudinal cutting, cutting to length, and punching of the respective blanks. The protective film is preferably applied after spreading the free ends 4.1a, 4.2a of the side sections 4.1, 4.2 and before placing the spread sheathing part 4 onto the upper longitudinal edge 1.r of the frame 1 ( Fig. 5) removed.

[0041] As already mentioned and in the presentation of Fig. 5, the spreading of the free ends 4.1a, 4.2a of the side sections 4.1, 4.2 of the casing part 4 is carried out by motor-operated suction devices 20, which suck the side sections 4.1 and 4.2 and are then moved outwards away from the frame 1 in the direction of the arrow (not shown), for example by an associated pneumatic cylinder or an electrically operated actuator (not shown).

[0042] As the applicant has found, the width of the adhesive-free transition section 8.1, 8.2 of the first and second side sections 4.1, 4.2 is advantageously 3 mm to 20 mm, in particular 10 mm. The adhesive-free transition section 8.1, 8.2 enables the finished sheathing part 4, after removal of the double-sided adhesive tape, with the spread-out side sections 4.1 and 4.2, to be precisely positioned in the desired position above the frame 1 by pushing it back and forth, whereby, with sufficiently precisely manufactured frames and sheathing cables 4, post-processing of the coated frame 1 ( Fig. 6) can be omitted.

[0043] The invention further relates to the use of a previously described sheathing part 4 for use in a method according to the invention described at the outset, wherein the sheathing part comprises a back section 4.r, which has a width b corresponding to the width B of the upper longitudinal edge 1.r of a frame 1 to be coated, and two side sections 4.1, 4.2 made of veneer extending substantially parallel to one another therefrom, which have a height h substantially corresponding to the height H of the frame 1 and a length l corresponding to the length L of the frame 1, wherein the mutually facing inner surfaces 4.1i and 4.2i of the side sections 4.1, 4.2 have an adhesive section 6.1, 6.2 extending over part of the height of each side section 4.1, 4.2 and an adhesive-free transition section 8.1, 8.2 arranged between the respective adhesive section 6.1, 6.2 and the back section 4.r. have.

[0044] The covering part is preferably used for coating or cladding a drawer frame, in particular a metal frame, for a piece of cabinet furniture, in particular a kitchen cabinet, living room cabinet, bedroom cabinet or chest of drawers, with veneer.
