Description

[0001] The invention relates to a plug-in connector, preferably a plug-in rotary connector, for connecting a first wall section of a first part and a second wall section of a second part of a component group, preferably a piece of furniture, particularly preferably two parts of a piece of furniture or two pieces of furniture, a box, or a multi-part wall element, which wall sections each comprise at least one through-slot. Furthermore, the invention relates to a component group with such a plug-in connector, a piece of furniture or a kit for a piece of furniture comprising such a component group, and a method for connecting (a first wall section of a first part and a second wall section of a second part) a component group.

[0002] Furnishings are objects that are part of the interior, with furnishings representing the entirety of the furniture or equipment of, for example, an apartment, an office, or the like. Furniture such as chests of drawers, shelves, tables, table tops, monitor risers, and the like, boxes, chests, or multi-part wall elements such as room dividers, pin boards, etc. are all examples of furnishings with which a room can be equipped so that it can be used and occupied for work and / or leisure purposes. Furniture, for example, is often created for a primary function, such as sitting on it, lying on it, placing objects or equipment, storing clothing, laundry, household goods, etc.

[0003] However, there is also furniture that, in addition to fulfilling an essential main function, is also intended to fulfil additional secondary functions. For example, there is furniture that is intended to make everyday life at work and in leisure time not only more comfortable but also healthier, enabling ergonomic working at a table, on a couch, on the floor, etc. This includes, in particular, height-adjustable table risers or monitor risers. These make it possible to carry out an activity in one place, such as office work, kitchen work, or other suitable manual activities, at the appropriate sitting or standing height. This can, for example, protect the back and other parts of the body with a healthy posture if the activity lasts for longer periods. Such furniture therefore serves not only as a simple storage space or table, but can also be adjusted to suit the height.

[0004] Ultimately, furnishings such as furniture, boxes, or wall elements have different shapes and colors depending on their intended use, function, design, etc., and are usually made of multiple materials. For example, fasteners such as metal screws or wooden dowels are often used, as are fasteners, rails, pins, and other components that are at least partially made of plastic.

[0005] Since the sheer quantity of materials and the demand for furnishings, such as furniture, is enormous and constantly increasing worldwide, and new materials are mostly used for this purpose, it is becoming increasingly important to manufacture furnishings entirely or at least partially from recycled materials in the future, thus making them more sustainable. At the same time, with increasing globalization, the raw materials or starting materials for furnishings, as well as the finished furnishings, travel ever longer transport and delivery routes before reaching the buyer or end consumer.

[0006] One problem in the manufacture or assembly of a component group, preferably a piece of furniture or a kit for such a piece of furniture, is connecting the individual parts of the component group to one another. There are various options for this connection. For example, threaded screws are screwed into the materials, e.g., two adjacent wall sections, or holes are drilled through which two-part connecting screws (screw and nut) are inserted to screw the wall sections together. Other couplings use screws and fillister head fittings, Twister screw-in anchors for Rastex, etc.The known solutions, especially those mentioned above, all have the disadvantage that they require tools for coupling, lose strength after just a few assembly and disassembly operations and leave permanent marks on the wall sections.

[0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a plug-in connector for a component group, preferably a piece of furniture or a kit for such a piece of furniture, which enables a simple, preferably tool-free, coupling of two wall sections.

[0008] This object is achieved by a plug-in connector according to patent claim 1, a component group, preferably of a piece of furniture, according to patent claim 7, a piece of furniture or a kit for a piece of furniture according to patent claim 13 and a method for connecting a component group, preferably of a piece of furniture or a kit for such a piece of furniture, according to patent claim 15.

[0009] The plug connector according to the invention is designed to connect a first wall section of a first part and a second wall section of a second part of a component group, preferably a piece of furniture or a kit for such a piece of furniture, particularly preferably two parts of a piece of furniture or two pieces of furniture, a box or a multi-part wall element, which wall sections each comprise at least one through-slot.

[0010] For this purpose, the plug-in connector has an insertion section for insertion into the respective through-slots of the wall sections to be connected, which has two insertion edges or side edges extending in a plug-in direction.

[0011] The insertion direction refers to the direction or orientation in which the connector is inserted into the through-slots of the wall sections to connect them. With multiple connectors, e.g., two, each connector can have its own insertion direction depending on its arrangement.

[0012] An alternative would be to slightly increase the security of the connection by using a substantially hook-shaped connector that allows the connector to be slightly displaced parallel to the longitudinal direction of the through-slots after insertion. This variant is relatively inexpensive but only allows for a limited increase in the security of the connection.

[0013] The plug-in connector can therefore preferably be designed as a plug-in / rotary connector. As explained further below, screwing in the plug-in / rotary connector further increases the security of the connection, since the connection cannot be released by simple intentional or unintentional linear movements.

[0014] The orientation or alignment of the insertion edges can, particularly when designed as a plug-and-turn connector, be slightly diagonal to the depth direction of the through-slots of the wall sections at the beginning of the insertion process or when inserting the plug-and-turn connector into the through-slots. However, in a securing position of the plug-and-turn connector, in which the wall sections are connected or secured as intended with the plug-and-turn connector, the orientation of the insertion edges then corresponds to the depth direction of the through-slots, as explained further below. In this respect, the plug-and-turn connector is inserted into the through-slots in an already twisted state and is then rotated back into a "straight" securing position with the insertion edges parallel to the insertion direction, as explained in more detail further below.

[0015] The insertion section can preferably be largely plate-shaped or flat, ie one of its side lengths is significantly shorter in relation to the other two side lengths, particularly preferably at most one tenth as long as the other two side lengths.

[0016] The plug-in section also has a front edge extending transversely to the insertion direction. The front edge is so named because it is located at the front in the insertion direction of the plug-in rotary connector.

[0017] Opposite thereto, the insertion section has a rear edge located at the rear in the insertion direction, on which a stop section with at least one stop surface protrudes or is angled.

[0018] The stop surface runs at an angle, preferably at a right angle or perpendicular to the plug-in section. It acts as a stop for the plug-in connector, preferably the plug-and-turn connector, and when it hits, marks the fully inserted, preferably screwed-in, securing position. As will be explained further below, when the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector is fully inserted (and preferably screwed in, i.e. hooked in), it lies flat against the rear (here usually outer) wall section. It thus tells the user the maximum end position to which the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector can be inserted and preferably screwed into the through-slots of the wall sections.

[0019] The insertion section has a hooking lug on one (first) of its insertion edges. This lug is preferably located in a half further away from the stop section, i.e., closer to the front edge than to the rear edge.

[0020] Preferably, the insertion section - if the plug-in connector is designed as a plug-in rotary connector as preferred - can also have a rounded and / or beveled screw-in corner at the transition of the (second) other insertion edge to the front edge.

[0021] Particularly preferably, the turning corner can be partially rounded and partially bevelled.

[0022] The (e.g. rounded and bevelled) screw-in corner helps to screw the plug-in-turn connector into the assigned through-slot of the wall sections in its fully hooked state, because the screw-in corner prevents the plug-in-turn connector from hitting one end of the through-slot when screwing in or being blocked by it.

[0023] A component group according to the invention, preferably of a piece of furniture or a kit for such a piece of furniture, particularly preferably of furniture, a furniture part, a box or a multi-part wall element, comprises at least a first part with a first wall section and a second part with a second wall section.

[0024] As mentioned at the beginning, the wall sections each have at least one through slot.

[0025] Furthermore, the wall sections, in the properly assembled state (or in a state for proper assembly), are positioned next to one another in such a way that the through slots are aligned with one another at least in an overlapping area.

[0026] Furthermore, the component group comprises at least one plug-in connector, preferably a plug-in rotary connector, as already described above, which, in the properly assembled state, is inserted through the through slots located in front of one another and clamps or presses the wall sections against one another and thus holds them together (safely against purely straight or linear pulling or pushing movements).

[0027] Preferably, even two of the plug-in connectors described above, preferably plug-in rotary connectors, can be inserted into corresponding through slots in the wall sections.

[0028] A piece of furniture according to the invention or a kit for such a piece of furniture, preferably furniture, furniture part, box or multi-part wall element, comprises such a component group, wherein the piece of furniture, in particular the piece of furniture, comprises the following components: - a multi-part and / or folded and / or curved nonwoven wall and - a plate element, preferably sheet metal, as a supporting element, preferably sheet metal, with wall sections at the edge of the plate element, preferably sheet metal.

[0029] The plug-in connector according to the invention, in particular a plug-in / rotary connector, creates a lightweight, stable, sturdy, and tip-proof piece of furniture, largely independent of the material of the wall sections. The plug-in connector, in particular a plug-in / rotary connector, is particularly advantageous for furnishings with wall sections in which at least one wall section is made of a material that is less suitable for other point-type connecting means, such as fleece. The plug-in connector according to the invention also enables the connection of two wall sections to one another without the wall sections having to be interlocked or interlocked. This facilitates the manufacture of the wall sections, as they do not have to be precisely matched to one another.Rather, it is sufficient to arrange the wall sections with their through-slots abutting against each other and connect and secure them using the plug-in connector and the through-slots. The plug-in connector's design as a plug-and-turn connector is particularly secure, as described.

[0030] The invention is therefore advantageously particularly suitable for a piece of furniture designed as a monitor riser, comprising a fleece wall and a plate element, preferably sheet metal, as ceiling surfaces, as will be explained further below. The invention is also suitable for a piece of furniture designed as a box or as a multi-part wall element. The inventive use of a piece of furniture, such as preferably a box or a multi-part wall element, means that a user can quickly store objects or separate off a room or, for example, a workstation, or have a wall available as a wall panel for hanging up and arranging objects. This is because in the multi-part wall element, the plate element, in particular sheet metal, can, for example,represent a fastening surface for fastening several parts of the fleece wall to one another or it can represent a fastening surface for fastening an object to the wall element or the wall element to an object, thus forming a load-bearing element.

[0031] In the method according to the invention for connecting, preferably without tools, a group of components, preferably a piece of furniture or a kit for such a piece of furniture, particularly preferably a piece of furniture, a furniture part, a box, or a multi-part wall element, a first wall section of at least a first part and a second wall section of a second part, wherein the wall sections each have at least one through-slot, are placed against one another in such a way that the through-slots are aligned in front of one another at least in an overlapping area. A plug-in connector, preferably a plug-and-twist connector, is inserted through the through-slots lying in front of one another, and the wall sections are clamped against one another.

[0032] Preferably, the plug-and-turn connector can first be inserted through the through-slot of the first wall section of the first part and then through the through-slot of the second wall section of the second part. In the case of a plug-and-turn connector, this preferably occurs with a screwing-in movement, as will be explained in more detail later using a preferred embodiment.

[0033] Optional further steps that can also be carried out are also explained below.

[0034] It should be emphasized again that the method just described does not have to be limited to these steps, although these steps are already sufficient to connect the component group, preferably a piece of furniture. As mentioned above, there are several optional steps that can be included in this method if desired, as described further below.

[0035] Further, particularly advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention emerge from the dependent claims and the following description, wherein the independent claims of one claim category can also be developed analogously to the dependent claims and embodiments of another claim category and, in particular, individual features of different embodiments or variants can be combined to form new embodiments or variants.

[0036] As already mentioned, in a preferred embodiment of the invention the plug connector can be designed as a plug-and-rotate connector.

[0037] There are various options for further designing the plug-in connector and in particular the plug-in rotary connector.

[0038] The hooking lug can preferably comprise a lug-like bulge that projects laterally beyond the relevant insertion edge at right angles to the insertion direction and, particularly preferably, adjoining this, an indentation that projects laterally into the relevant insertion edge at right angles to the insertion direction, i.e. a bay-like section. The lug-like protruding bulge serves as a hook or pull-out protection, because it prevents the plug-in connector or plug-and-rotate connector from being pulled out of the through-slot in a simple linear movement. The bay-like protruding or protruding section, i.e. the indentation, can, in addition to its function of creating space for the screwing-in process of the plug-and-rotate connector, advantageously be used, among other things, during manufacture of the plug-and-rotate connector, for example when powder-coating the plug-and-rotate connector if it is made of metal, as is preferably the case, for hanging the plug-and-rotate connector.

[0039] The plug-and-turn connector can particularly preferably have an S-shaped outer contour in the area of the hooking lug with the indentation. This design has the advantage that there is space immediately adjacent to the indentation of the hooking lug to accommodate one end of the through slot slightly in the indentation when screwing in the plug-and-turn connector.

[0040] There are preferred options for the dimensions of the hooking nose.

[0041] Preferably, a radius of the bulge may substantially correspond to a radius of the indentation.

[0042] Alternatively or additionally, the radius of the bulge can preferably be at least 0.5 mm, more preferably at least 1 mm, most preferably at least 2 mm. A certain minimum radius has the advantage that the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector cannot accidentally slip off in the secured position, as it projects sufficiently far beyond the end of the through-slot. As the radius increases, the projecting part increases, so that a hook surface becomes increasingly larger. This means that the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector holds better. At the same time, the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector grips or presses against the wall section further away from the end of the through-slot, which prevents tearing or breaking if the wall section is made of a material that is easier to tear or break.

[0043] Alternatively or additionally, the radius of the bulge can preferably be no more than 10 mm, particularly preferably no more than 8 mm, and most preferably no more than 5 mm. At the same time, in order to save material and keep the plug-in connector or plug-and-rotate connector as small as possible, it is advantageous if the protruding nose-like portion is not too large.

[0044] Alternatively or additionally, the radius of the recess can preferably be at least 0.5 mm, particularly preferably at least 1 mm, and most preferably at least 2 mm. A certain minimum size of the recessed portion is advantageous in order to be able to more easily screw the plug-and-rotate connector into its intended securing position after insertion.

[0045] Alternatively or additionally, the radius of the indentation can preferably be no more than 10 mm, more preferably no more than 8 mm, and most preferably no more than 5 mm. At the same time, however, the indentation-like section should not be too large so that the plug-and-turn connector does not lose stability and the section can still be used to suspend the plug-and-turn connector during powder coating.

[0046] Preferably, a pivot point of the plug-in / rotary connector, around which the plug-in / rotary connector is rotated into or out of its securing position, can be located in the center of the indentation.

[0047] There are various options for pushing the plug-in connector or plug-in / rotary connector more easily and conveniently into the through-slots of the wall sections, preferably the side wall sections of the fleece wall and the bent wall sections of the panel element, preferably made of sheet metal. For example, a flat, sturdy object can be used, which is pressed from the outside onto the stop section protruding at an angle from the rear edge of the plug-in section, in order to push or rotate the plug-in connector or plug-in / rotary connector into the secured position.

[0048] Preferably, the stop portion may have a height of at least 10 mm, preferably at least 15 mm, particularly preferably at least 20 mm, in the direction in which it protrudes angularly from the insertion portion.

[0049] Alternatively or additionally, the stop section can have a height of no more than 35 mm, preferably no more than 30 mm, and particularly preferably no more than 25 mm, in the direction in which it protrudes at an angle from the insertion section. This helps a user to move the plug-in connector or plug-in / rotary connector into its intended securing position, for example, with a finger, such as the thumb, because they can simply place their finger on the insertion section and, with a little pressure, insert the plug-in connector or screw in the plug-in / rotary connector.

[0050] There are also further design options for the part opposite the hooking lug. For example, the screw-in corner of the plug-and-turn connector could be square or completely rounded.

[0051] Preferably, however, the screw-in corner can be designed between a first corner point at the transition from the insertion edge and a second corner point at the transition to the front edge, in a first section up to a transition point, and in a subsequent, second section after the transition point, curved. The straight section has the advantage of creating somewhat more space when screwing in the plug-in / rotate connector, so that the through slots can be made even narrower. The subsequent rounded or rounded section ensures a smooth transition to the front edge. On top of that, this design also has the task of forming a kind of "arrow shape", which not only visually helps to immediately recognize the correct insertion direction, but also makes threading easier when inserting into the through slot.

[0052] Preferably, at least a length of the rear edge, preferably a mean distance between the insertion edges of the plug-in / rotary connector, transversely to the insertion direction can be selected to be at least (slightly) shorter than a slot length of the through-slots of the wall sections that lie one ahead of the other. These through-slots of the wall sections that lie one ahead of the other are assigned to one another for the connection. The mean distance between the insertion edges refers to the distance between the insertion edges in an area between the rear edge and the insertion nose, preferably close to the insertion nose, but still before the beginning of the bay-like section mentioned above. By designing the plug-in / rotary connector shorter in this area than in an area of the insertion nose, the plug-in / rotary connector can be pushed or screwed the last bit into the through-slots after it has been rotated with the insertion nose past the slot end of the through-slots.

[0053] Preferably, a total length parallel to the rear edge of the plug-and-turn connector between a nose tip of the hooking nose of one plug-in edge and a corner point of the opposite plug-in edge can be longer than an overlapping area of the slot lengths of the through-slots located in front of each other. The excess length of the plug-and-turn connector between a nose tip of the hooking nose of one plug-in edge and a corner point of the opposite plug-in edge compared to the slot lengths of the through-slots requires the plug-and-turn connector to be screwed into the through-slots and thus prevents simple linear removal without turning. This means that once the plug-and-turn connector has been inserted and screwed into the securing position, it cannot simply slip out unintentionally but is secured, e.g. if someone intentionally or accidentally bumps into one of the wall sections from the side.Without the hooking lug, there would be a risk that such a movement could cause the wall sections to separate from each other and the furniture could collapse like a “house of cards”.

[0054] At this point it should be noted that the front edge of the insertion section and the rear edge of the insertion section can also be referred to differently. The front edge is an inside edge, at least when the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector is inserted as usual from the outside, i.e. from an outside wall side of the wall sections of the component group (provided that the component group or the piece of furniture clearly has an outside and an inside). The rear edge is then correspondingly an outside edge if the plug-and-turn connector is inserted from the outside. Theoretically, however, it is also conceivable that the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector is inserted from the inside, i.e. from an inside wall side of the wall sections of the first and second part of the component group. In this case the front edge of the plug-in connector orPlug-and-turn connectors consequently have an outer edge and the rear edge of the plug-in connector or plug-and-turn connector has an inner edge.

[0055] Preferably, a vertex of the hooking lug of the plug-and-turn connector, facing the stop surface and located at the rear in the insertion direction, can form a pressure point which, when the hooking lug is inserted and possibly moved, preferably when screwed in, presses against a wall part of the second wall section adjacent to the through-slot, which is located on the side of the first wall section facing away from the stop section. This design, similar to an "eccentric lever", ensures improved pulling of the two wall sections towards one another and stabilizes the assembly comprising the two wall sections even better in the secured position. The positioning of the pressure point at the vertex of the hooking lug close to one of the insertion edges reduces the force required to push and screw the plug-and-turn connector completely into the through-slots into the secured position.

[0056] At this point, it should be noted that the assignment of the wall sections, i.e., which is the first and which is the second, is arbitrary. Preferably, the first wall section can be the one into which the plug-in connector or plug-and-twist connector is first inserted. The first wall section is particularly preferably the outer or visible wall section of a piece of furniture, provided the piece of furniture has a "visible" and a "non-visible" wall section.

[0057] Depending on the intended use, the clamping distance between the pressure point of the hooking lug and the stop surface can preferably be at least equal to the sum of the wall thicknesses of the adjacent wall sections. This further improves the pulling or pushing of the two wall sections toward each other in the securing position and allows any small gap that may exist between the wall sections to be closed even more effectively.

[0058] The clamping distance can preferably be at least 8 mm, particularly preferably at least 10 mm, most preferably at least 13 mm.

[0059] Alternatively or additionally, the clamping distance may preferably be at most 25 mm, particularly preferably at most 20 mm, most particularly preferably at most 15 mm.

[0060] Preferably, the apex of the hooking lug can be offset further forward in the insertion direction than a curvature starting point of the hooking lug's indentation, at least by the material thickness of the second wall section (here, in the case of insertion from the outside to the inside, e.g., the inner wall section). Accordingly, "further forward" here means, without loss of generality, e.g., further inward.

[0061] Preferably, the above-mentioned piece of furniture, in particular a piece of furniture or furniture part, or the kit for such a piece of furniture, can additionally comprise a drawer and drawer rails that can be inserted into the fleece wall to support and guide the drawer. Particularly preferably, the piece of furniture or furniture part can have slotted recesses in at least one of its wall sections, into which the panel element, preferably sheet metal, or the drawer rails can be inserted with at least one insertion tongue.

[0062] Preferably, the piece of furniture or kit may comprise a monitor riser, a seat or seat riser, a standing surface, a footstool, a step or stepladder, a shelf, a box or storage box or a multi-part wall element (e.g. a wall panel or a signage system, such as a sign).

[0063] As mentioned above, there are further preferred possibilities for the method for connecting a component group, preferably a piece of furniture, in particular a piece of furniture or furniture part, or the kit for such a piece of furniture.

[0064] According to a preferred embodiment, the first part of the component group, preferably of the furnishing item, in particular of the piece of furniture or furniture part, or of the kit for such a furnishing item, can be a multi-part and / or foldable and / or bendable nonwoven wall, which has an inner wall side and an outer wall side as well as through slots and / or slot recesses in the inner wall side, very particularly preferably up to the outer wall side.

[0065] The first wall section of the first part can particularly preferably be two (lateral) side wall sections of a nonwoven wall, between which the nonwoven wall (on the rear side) has a rear wall section which connects the two side wall sections.

[0066] According to the preferred embodiment, the second part can be a plate element, preferably a metal sheet, as a supporting element or supporting sheet with a second wall section, which is shaped such that it engages at least partially with one edge into the slot recesses in the fleece wall already mentioned above.

[0067] This panel element particularly preferably comprises a metal sheet or is very particularly preferably formed from the metal sheet. Such a metal sheet can be quite thin and yet very stable and load-bearing. Furthermore, a metal sheet is very easily recycled. Metal sheets can be cut and bent into the desired shape relatively easily. Instead of the metal sheet, the panel element could in principle also comprise or consist of a plastic sheet (possibly profiled to increase stability) (in this case preferably recycled and / or recyclable) or wooden panel. As a rule, however, metal sheets are preferred because they are very durable and the furnishing item is therefore particularly sustainable. Therefore, unless explicitly mentioned, a metal sheet is assumed as the panel element in the following without limiting the generality.

[0068] At this point, it should be mentioned that the same preferably also applies to the plug-in connector or plug-in rotary connector, which is why the plug-in connector or plug-in rotary connector preferably comprises a metal sheet or is very particularly preferably formed from a metal sheet, although in principle it could just as easily comprise or consist of plastic (preferably recycled and / or recyclable) or wood (e.g. as an injection-molded part made of plastic).

[0069] The second wall section of the second part may particularly preferably be two wall sections of the support element or metal sheet facing the respective side wall section and bent parallel to the direction of extension of the side wall section.

[0070] In an optional step, the nonwoven wall can be folded or bent before being connected to the metal sheet via the plug-and-twist connectors so that it encloses the metal sheet on at least three edges or sides. Preferably, two side wall sections adjacent to the rear wall section can each be folded by 90° along two predetermined fold lines between the rear wall section and the side wall sections so that the three sections enclose the metal sheet in a U-shape. In this respect, at least in this embodiment, it is an at least partially foldable piece of furniture, in particular a piece of furniture or folding furniture.

[0071] In this preferred embodiment, the plug-in connector or plug-in rotary connector can preferably be inserted and preferably screwed into a respective through-slot of the side wall section of the fleece wall and into a further through-slot associated with this respective through-slot (which is aligned in front of the through-slot of the side wall section) of the wall section of the metal sheet facing the respective side wall section and bent parallel to the direction of extension of the side wall section.

[0072] Preferably, the method for connecting the component group, preferably a piece of furniture, in particular a piece of furniture or furniture part, or a kit for such a piece of furniture, can be designed and the components of the component group or kit can be provided in such a way that no tools (or at least only absolutely standard tools such as screwdrivers, Allen keys, hammers or the like) are required for the connection. In other words, it can preferably be a tool-free connection method. The method is particularly preferably suitable for constructing a monitor riser, a box or a multi-part wall element, as will be explained further below with reference to exemplary embodiments, or similar pieces of furniture or smaller pieces of furniture or furniture parts.

[0073] As mentioned, the component group can optionally have a drawer for storing items and two drawer rails to guide the drawer.

[0074] Preferably, the two drawer rails can then each be inserted with a frontal rear edge, preferably a plug-in tongue, into an associated slot recess (in the particularly preferred embodiment) in a rear wall section of the fleece wall, and with a lateral outer edge, preferably a longitudinal plug-in tongue, at an opposite end region into an associated slot recess in the respective side wall section of the fleece wall. The drawer can then be pushed into the inserted drawer rails.

[0075] According to a second preferred embodiment, the first part of the component group, preferably of the piece of furniture, in particular of the box, can also be a folded and / or curved nonwoven wall which has an inner wall side and an outer wall side as well as through slots and / or slot recesses in the inner wall side, very particularly preferably up to the outer wall side.

[0076] However, the first wall section of the box can particularly preferably be two (rear) rear wall sections of a fleece wall, which are arranged abutting against one another to form a rear wall and to which two side wall sections are connected at the sides and a front wall section at the front, which indirectly connect the two rear wall sections to form a substantially rectangular fleece wall.

[0077] In this preferred embodiment, the second part can again be a plate element, preferably a metal sheet, as a supporting element or supporting sheet with a second wall section, which is also shaped such that it engages at least partially with one edge into the slotted recesses in the fleece wall already mentioned above.

[0078] The second wall section of the second part may particularly preferably be a wall section of the support element or metal sheet which points correspondingly to the rear wall sections and is bent parallel to the direction of extension of the rear wall sections.

[0079] In this preferred embodiment, the plug-in connector or plug-in rotary connector can then again preferably be inserted and preferably screwed into a respective through-slot of the respective rear wall section of the fleece wall and into a further through-slot associated with this respective through-slot (which is aligned in front of the through-slot of the respective rear wall section) of the wall section of the metal sheet facing the respective rear wall section and bent parallel to the direction of extension of the rear wall section.

[0080] According to a third preferred embodiment, the first part of the component group, preferably of the furnishing article, in particular of the multi-part wall element, can be, for example, a multi-part nonwoven wall, the parts of which each have an inner wall side and an outer wall side as well as through-slots and / or slot recesses in the inner wall side, very particularly preferably extending to the outer wall side.

[0081] However, the first wall section of the multi-part wall element can particularly preferably be a plurality of nonwoven panel cuts of a nonwoven wall, which are arranged next to one another in a common wall plane, preferably somewhat spaced from one another, to form a plurality of wall panels or nonwoven panels parallel to one another.

[0082] According to this preferred embodiment, the second part can then, for example, be an (elongated) plate element, preferably a metal sheet, in particular a clamping profile, preferably a metal profile, as a supporting element with at least one second wall section, which is shaped such that it engages at least partially with one edge into the slotted recesses in the fleece wall already mentioned above.

[0083] The second wall section of the second part may particularly preferably be a plurality of wall sections of the support element or metal sheet facing the nonwoven panel blanks and bent parallel to the direction of extension of the nonwoven panel blanks.

[0084] In this preferred embodiment, the plug-in connector or plug-in rotary connector can now preferably be inserted and preferably screwed into a respective through-slot of the respective fleece panel blank of the fleece wall and into a further through-slot associated with this respective through-slot (which is aligned in front of the through-slot of the respective fleece panel blank) of the wall section of the metal sheet or clamping profile - facing the respective fleece panel blank and bent parallel to the direction of extension of the fleece panel blank.

[0086] In the Fig. 1 to 4 show, by way of example, a particularly preferred exemplary embodiment of a component group according to the invention of a piece of furniture 1 according to the invention from several perspectives. The piece of furniture 1 is a monitor stand 1 which essentially comprises three main components, namely a fleece wall 10 consisting of a substantially rectangular fleece panel and folded in a U-shape, a substantially rectangular metal sheet 31 as the supporting sheet 31 (in the following examples it is assumed that a simple, suitably cut and bent metal sheet 31 is used as the panel element 31 - as is preferred) and two exemplary embodiments of plug-in connectors 100 according to the invention, preferably designed as plug-and-turn connectors 100, as securing elements 100 for securing or connecting the fleece wall 10 to the metal sheet 31. The metal sheet 31 orAs can be seen, the supporting plate 31 forms here a spanning surface 31 which largely spans the interior space between the fleece wall sections 13, 14, 15 of the fleece wall 10 mentioned below.

[0087] Furthermore, the monitor riser 1 includes a drawer 70 (see Fig. 1) and drawer rails 80 (see Fig. 2, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) for supporting and guiding the drawer 70. In Fig. 1, the drawer 70 is shown in a partially extended state for a view of the interior. In Fig. 2 it was removed so that the drawer rails 80 behind it are visible.

[0088] About fleece wall 10: The fleece wall 10 consists of a flat fleece mat or fleece plate with a rectangular outline when unfolded or unfolded, having two shorter edges and two longer edges 11, 12. The fleece wall 10 here has a wall thickness 16 of approximately 12 mm and is made of recycled PET fleece material. The fleece wall 10 is divided longitudinally (unfolded) or circumferentially (folded) along the two longer edges 11, 12 into three connected wall sections 13, 14, 15, namely one (which extends in a direction X in the fully assembled state) +,-extending) rear wall section 15 and two laterally adjacent side wall sections 13, 14 (extending in a longitudinal direction 13Y, 14Y in the fully assembled state parallel to an insertion direction Y). The two side wall sections 13, 14 can each be folded or angled by 90° to the rear wall section 15 by means of a pre-applied fold line or “desired fold line” (solid body joint similar to a film hinge) running parallel to the two shorter edges between the longer edges 11, 12.

[0089] When the monitor riser 1 is folded or set up as intended (see Fig. 1 to 8), the fleece wall 10 is bent at these two fold lines by 90° and stands upright on one of the two longer edges 11, 12, namely a lower edge 11. The opposite longer edge 12 of the rectangular fleece mat or fleece plate forms, in the illustrated, properly erected state, an upper edge 12 of the monitor elevation 1. The upper edge 12 is flat or even. In contrast, the lower edge 11 comprises edge recesses 19 in a central area 13m, 14m, 15m of the wall sections 13, 14, 15 (see in particular Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). The edge cutouts 19 not only create an improved appearance in that the sections next to the edge cutouts 19 form "foot" or "leg sections", but they also serve a practical purpose in that they create, from a technical perspective, variably usable passages on the sides and rear for the passage or routing of cables or the like to or from a monitor (not shown), which would be placed on the support plate 31 in actual use of the monitor riser 1 and would be connected, for example, with power cables and possibly other cables, such as data cables, etc.

[0090] Furthermore, the fleece wall 10 comprises various elongated slotted recesses 20, 21 in all three sections 13, 14, 15, each at least on the inner wall side 10i, which partly extend in the form of through-slotted recesses 20 through the entire wall thickness 16 of the fleece wall 10 to the outer wall side 10a and thus form through-openings 20 through the fleece wall 10. Some of the slotted recesses 21, namely the so-called blind slotted recesses 21, extend from the inner wall side 10i only partially into the fleece wall 10 and thus represent "blind holes" that are not visible from the outer wall side 10a. Two such blind slotted recesses 21 formed only on the inner wall side 10i are shown in Fig. 2, for example (seen from the front), can be seen on the left side wall section 13 diagonally above the edge recess 19 located in the central area 13m of the lower edge 11. They are merely designed as pocket-slot recesses 21, since they are only intended to accommodate a partially inserted lateral outer edge 8 of the drawer rails 80 formed by a suitably shaped sheet metal strip, extending partially into the fleece wall 10.

[0091] Numerous further such bag slot recesses 21 are also located, for example, in the rear wall section 15 of the fleece wall 10 distributed over several, here five, levels 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 of different heights h 22 , h 23 , h 24 , h 25 , h 26 , as in Fig. 3 can be seen. The different heights h 22 , h 23 , h 24 , h 25 , h 26The five levels 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 are chosen so that they are spaced at the same distance from each other.

[0092] With regard to the position and spacing of the levels—namely, the five levels 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 shown here as examples—it should be noted that the illustrated embodiment is not intended to be limiting in this regard. The spacing can, of course, also be chosen differently, for example, if the fleece wall is larger or smaller, or if the piece of furniture 1 is designed as a cabinet, shelf, sideboard, or the like with numerous shelves, compartments, or drawers. Likewise, the spacing can also be chosen to be at least partially uneven, e.g., evenly spaced among the top five levels, but different from the other levels below.

[0093] Also with regard to the blind slot recesses 21, it should be noted that the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Thus, the blind slot recesses 21, which are shown in Fig. 2 can be seen, if necessary, e.g., in the case that the metal sheet 31 together with the plug-and-turn connectors 100, explained later, in this plane 26 with the height h 26 If the screen is to be arranged, for example, to shield the monitor from side views when in use, it must be designed as continuous through-slot recesses 20 from the inner wall side 10i to the outer wall side 10a. The same applies to the blind slot recesses 21 in the rear wall section 15. These can also be designed wholly or partially as through-slot recesses 20 if necessary.

[0094] To the metal sheet 31 (see especially isolated view in Fig. 11): As already mentioned, the metal sheet 31 or support plate 31 forms a base 31 for the monitor. A wall thickness 40 or material thickness 40 of the metal sheet 31 is, for example, 1 mm. Such a wall thickness 40 ensures sufficient stability and strength with the appropriate choice of material for the metal sheet 31, while at the same time still allowing the monitor riser 1 to be easily portable.

[0095] With regard to its outer dimensions, the metal sheet 31 is essentially dimensioned and designed such that it fits exactly with its receiving elements 30a, 30b into the above-mentioned "interior" between the three wall sections 13, 14, 15 of the fleece wall 10. The receiving elements 30a, 30b are designed here as wall sections 30a, 30b bent parallel to the extension of the inner wall side 10i towards the lower edge 11 of the fleece wall 10, with hooking slots 36 incorporated therein (see Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4). This is because the metal sheet 31 is beveled on three sides, namely the front and the sides. At the front, it includes a folded front edge 35, or a folded edge 35. The folded edge 35 is visually appealing and also ensures that a user cannot cut themselves on the front edge 35.

[0096] At the side edges 39 (adjacent to the front edge 35), the metal sheet 31 comprises the aforementioned wall sections 30a, 30b, which are bent downwards by 90°. These improve the stability of the metal sheet 31 and form a possible, preferred variant for connecting the metal sheet 31 to the fleece wall 10 by means of the aforementioned plug-and-turn connectors 100, thereby also ensuring the transfer of the load acting on the metal sheet 31 to the fleece wall 10. The wall sections 30a, 30b are relatively "short" in the vertical direction Z compared to the length of the metal sheet 31 in the insertion direction Y (forward or backward), i.e., only approximately a finger's width. Fig. 6, a wall section 30b of the two wall sections 30a, 30b is shown in an oblique view from below of a front edge 35 or a folded edge 35 of the metal sheet 31, enlarged. In this, as well as in Fig. 11 it can be seen that the wall section 30b (just like the other, not explicitly shown opposite wall section 30a) has an elongated, through the entire wall thickness 40 of the metal sheet 31 (each in the insertion direction X + ) has a continuous hooking slot 36 with a slot length 38 in the insertion direction Y and a slot height 37 in the vertical direction Z. In the hooking slot 36 of the wall section 30b and the slot recess 20 of the fleece wall 10 is inserted (see Fig. 6) When the furniture 1 is properly assembled and secured, one of the two previously mentioned plug-and-turn connectors 100 with its insertion section 101 is in a screwed-in securing position, thus positively coupling the metal sheet 31 to the fleece wall 10, as explained further below. The insertion direction X + of the in Fig. 6 into the right-hand wall section 30b, viewed from the front, on the right side wall section 14 of the fleece wall 10 runs from the outer wall side 10a (from the outside) to the inner wall side 10i (inward). The insertion direction X + of the in Fig. 6 shown plug-and-turn connector 100 thus runs in the opposite direction to the insertion direction X +of the other opposite plug-and-turn connector 100, which is inserted in the opposite direction. This is because both plug-and-turn connectors 100 are inserted from the outside into the respective through-slot recess 20 of the respective side wall section 13, 14 and pushed inward, thereby being screwed in (as will be explained later).

[0097] Likewise, the respective pull-out directions X of the plug-and-turn connectors 100 also run away from each other to the outside, opposite to the insertion direction X + .

[0098] This means that in the left wall section 30a on the left side wall section 13 of the fleece wall 10, viewed from the front, the insertion direction X corresponds to + , the pull-out direction X. of the other plug-and-turn connector 100 on the other, opposite wall section 30b and vice versa. The reference lines with the reference symbol X +,- should take this fact into account.

[0099] At this point, it should be mentioned again that it is fundamentally also conceivable for the metal sheet to have other receiving elements instead of the illustrated receiving elements (in the form of the (receiving) wall sections that are vertically bent almost continuously along the entire length of the side edge of the metal sheet). For example, the metal sheet could have a pin or tenon element protruding from the plate-shaped metal sheet, or a toothing for receiving the securing elements, or in this case, plug-and-turn connectors 100. Alternatively, the metal sheet could also have at least one special folded edge with a through opening as a receiving element for the securing element in the region of the edge.

[0100] The rear edge 32 or the rear edge 32 of the metal sheet 31, on the other hand, is flat or even and comprises projections 34 or insertion tongues 34 as well as edge recesses 33 in sections.

[0101] As can be seen from the top view of the monitor riser 1 in Fig. 4 and the isolated representation of the metal sheet 31 in Fig. 11, in an edge region 31r (see the area delimited by the dashed line) on the rear edge 32, here two edge recesses 33 are formed, which serve for the passage or past of cables into the interior space between the inner wall side 10i of the fleece wall 10 and the metal sheet 31, in particular into a space R behind the drawer 70.

[0102] As will be explained further below, cables that are routed through this space R behind the drawer 70 are not clamped, since the drawer rails 80 each have a step 83 serving as a stop 83 or rear stop surface 83 between a front edge 85s and a front rear edge 82s in a rear end region 81 of the drawer rails 80, which step 83 limits the insertion of the drawer 70 in the insertion direction Y into the monitor elevation 1 up to this stop 83 and thus prevents an unwanted, deeper insertion of the drawer 70 into the space R (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6).

[0103] Furthermore, the metal sheet 31 comprises, in addition to the edge recesses 33 mentioned above, intended for the passage of cables, projections 34 on the same rear edge 32 (or on the front edge 32). As in Fig. 11, the rear edge 32 protrudes in sections beyond the remaining rear edge 32 in the area of the projections 34. With these projections 34 or insertion tongues 34, the metal sheet 31 is inserted or pushed into one of the slotted recesses 20 described above, which are located at the appropriate position, in the insertion direction Y in the fleece wall 10 during assembly. The projections 34 or insertion tongues 34 are thereby immersed completely in the fleece wall 10. The insertion tongues 34 inserted in the fleece wall 10, or more precisely in the relevant slotted recesses 20, can thus take on part of the load which, during normal use, is exerted by a monitor standing on the base 31 from above due to its weight in the direction of gravity Z on the base 31 or the metal sheet 31.

[0104] The remaining part of the load is transferred or diverted laterally evenly from the wall sections 30a, 30b of the metal sheet 31 to the U-shaped fleece wall 10 via the securing elements 100 already mentioned above and explained in more detail below, here as mentioned as plug-and-rotate connectors 100. Despite the fact that it "only" consists of flexible fleece material, the fleece wall 10 can thus withstand sufficient load to form or shape a stable, stable, load-bearing piece of furniture 1, here, for example, the monitor riser 1.

[0105] Drawer 70 is made of metal sheet with slightly larger dimensions than metal sheet 31. As is usual for drawers, drawer 70 comprises a base and four walls and is open at the top. With very low walls, the dimensions are very similar to those of metal sheet 31, i.e., the deviation is in the low centimeter range. During production, the sheet is pre-cut with rectangular notches in the four corners, and the edge sections between the notches are simply bent upwards at 90° to the base to form the walls. As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 1, the contact points of the drawer walls are not connected or welded to each other to simplify manufacturing and for cost reasons. Furthermore, the bottom of the drawer 70 includes an access hole 71 on the underside near the front wall or edge, as well as central floor recesses 72 in the shape and size of the drawer rails 80. Also located in the drawer 70 is a fleece insert 73, which seals the access hole 71 and the floor recesses 72, so that objects can be quietly placed into the drawer 70 and cannot accidentally fall out again.

[0106] During production, the two drawer rails 80 for supporting and guiding the drawer 70 are manufactured from the cut-out or punched-out scrap material of the base recesses 72. The drawer rails 80, made of sheet metal strips, comprise a rear edge 82 and a front edge 85 on the front side, as well as two longitudinal edges 80l on the sides. On the front rear edge 82s, in a rear end region 81 of the drawer rails 80, a rear insertion tongue 82 (for inserting the drawer rails 80 into the pocket slot recesses 21 of the rear wall section 15 of the fleece wall 10) is formed. On the front front edge 85s and in the area of a lateral orA longitudinal (front) insertion tongue 85 (for inserting the drawer rails 80 into the pocket slot recesses 21 of the side wall sections 13, 14 of the fleece wall 10) is formed on the longitudinal outer edge 85l, which adjoins the front edge 85s in a front end region 84 of the drawer rails 80. To complete the drawer rails 80, the sheet metal strips only need to be bent to the shape described after being cut or punched during production and later, as shown in . Fig. 5, are inserted into the fleece wall 10. When inserted, they then serve both to support and guide the drawer 70 and as a stepped stop 83 or rear stop surface 83 for the drawer 70, so that cables routed past in a space R behind the drawer 70 cannot be accidentally trapped during use.

[0107] For plug-and-turn connector 100 (see especially Fig. 9 and Fig. 10): The plug-and-turn connector 100 comprises a plug-in section 101 and a stop section 130 bent perpendicularly thereto. The plug-and-turn connector 100 is manufactured by cutting or punching the two sections 101, 130 from a “rectangular” flat metal sheet or piece of sheet metal and bending or bent them at a 90° angle to each other. The plug-and-turn connector 100 is then inserted and turned in use for the intended securing of the fleece wall 10 with the metal sheet 31 with the insertion section 101 into the wall sections 13, 14, 30a, 30b, more precisely into the through-slot recesses 20 of the side wall sections 13, 14 of the fleece wall 10 and the hooking slots 36 of the wall sections 30a, 30b of the metal sheet 31, until it abuts flatly with the stop section 130 against the outer wall side 10a of the side wall sections 13, 14 of the fleece wall 10.The entire outer contour of the insertion section 101 of the plug-in / twist connector 100 is deliberately designed to be largely rounded along a front edge 103 and at the transition to the side edges 102, 120. It does not include any sharp corners or the like to prevent unwanted tilting or snagging (particularly on the nonwoven material) during insertion and twisting.

[0108] Furthermore, the plug-and-rotate connector 100 has a maximum total length l from a nose tip 110 of a hooking nose 105 on a first insertion edge 102 of the insertion section 101 to a first corner point 122 opposite the nose tip 110 on a second insertion edge 120 of the insertion section 101 (i.e. in a direction Y parallel to its front edge 103 and to its opposite rear edge 104). 100which projects beyond or exceeds the slot length 38 of the hooking slot 36 of the metal sheet 31 as well as the slot length 28 of the through-slot recess 20.

[0109] This requires insertion with a slightly oblique arrangement of the plug-and-turn connector 100 with the hooking lug 105 first and with subsequent screwing of the hooking lug 105 of the plug-and-turn connector 100 around the wall part 36b of the metal sheet 31 using a recess 107 of the hooking lug 105, which will be explained further below. At the same time, this deliberately ensures that the connection is protected against a simple linear pulling apart of the fleece wall 10 in a pulling direction X, opposite to the insertion direction X. + is secured, since the hooking lug 105 as shown in Fig. 7, once it has been screwed in and hooked in, presses with a pressure point 111 from the inside against a wall part 36b beyond a slot end of the hooking slot 36 of the metal sheet 31.

[0110] At this point, it should be briefly pointed out that, of course, the metal sheet 31 and the fleece wall 10 can also be adapted to the plug-and-turn connector 100 conversely.

[0111] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 9, the pressure point 111 of the hooking nose 105 is located in a nose-like section 106 or a semicircular bulge 106 of the hooking nose 105, more precisely at a point closest to the rear edge 104 of the insertion section 101. Therefore, it can also be seen as the apex 111 of the course of the bulge 106. The semicircular bulge 106 comprises a radius r 106, which here is, for example, 2 mm. The vertex 111 is offset from a curvature starting point 112, explained below, at the transition 112 of the first insertion edge 102 to the indentation 107 by exactly the material thickness 40 of the metal sheet 31 in the insertion direction X. + arranged offset to the front.

[0112] Following the curved course of the bulge 106 from the nose tip 110 beyond the apex 111 or pressure point 111, the hooking nose 105 merges into the just mentioned indentation 107, whereby the entire area of the hooking nose 105 describes an "S"-shaped outer contour 108. The indentation 107 in the form of a three-quarter circular, bay-like section 107 has a virtual center 107Z or a center point 107Z as well as a radius r 107which here is, for example, 2 mm, and merges into the first insertion edge 102 after an arc length of approximately 270° at the end or beginning (depending on the point of view) of the S-shaped outer contour 108 at the said curvature starting point 112. The indentation 107 thus creates exactly enough space for the slot end of the hooking slot 36 on this side when the plug-in / rotating connector 100 is screwed in, since the plug-in / rotating connector 100 is dimensioned in shape and size such that the screw-in corner 121, which will be explained in more detail below, can just be turned past the opposite slot end of the hooking slot 36.

[0113] As mentioned, the plug-and-turn connector 100 then wedges itself when pulled apart in an unwanted straight line (i.e., if it is not unscrewed or unhooked in the same reversed manner), since the rounded screw-in corner 121 at a second insertion edge 120 abuts against the other slot end of the hooking slot 36. Thus, such an unwanted linear movement (e.g., if a user or another person accidentally or intentionally bumps into the side wall) can be successfully blocked in a simple and effective manner.

[0114] For this purpose, the screw-in corner 121 (here in Fig. 9 top right) on the side of the second insertion edge 120 of the insertion section 101 from a first corner point 122 or at a transition 122 from the second insertion edge 120 to a transition point 124 in a first section 123, an oblique corner edge profile. Therefore, the first section 123 is also referred to as an oblique section 123. Furthermore, the screw-in corner 121 has a curved corner edge profile in a subsequent, second section 125 after the transition point 124 up to a second corner point 126 or transition 126 to the front edge 103, which is why the second section 125 is also referred to as a curved section 125.

[0115] The length 127 of the rear edge 104 is selected such that it is longer than the slot length 38 of the hooking slot 36 of the metal sheet 31, but slightly shorter than the length of the slot recess 20 of the fleece wall 10. The length 127 of the rear edge 104 corresponds to the average distance 127 of the insertion edges 102, 120 from one another.

[0116] Overall, this specially dimensioned, special shape of the plug-and-turn connector 100 enables the plug-and-turn connector 100 to be screwed in precisely past the slot ends of the through-slot recess 20 and the hooking slot 36 into the, for example, Fig. 7 shown securing position, after it has been guided with the hooking nose 105 leading or ahead in the insertion direction X + was inserted or introduced and pushed into the through slot recess 20 and the hooking slot 36.

[0117] A preferred embodiment of the plug-and-turn connector 100 has a thickness or sheet thickness (in the illustrated position in the vertical direction Z) which is only minimally smaller than the slot height 37 of the hooking slot 36, so that the plug-and-turn connector 100 can only be inserted and screwed into the hooking slot 36 relatively tightly and then has a relatively firm fit or hold in the illustrated securing position.

[0118] In the secured position, i.e. in the inserted and screwed-in state, the plug-and-rotate connector 100 rests flat with a stop surface 131 of a stop section 130, which here protrudes at a right angle α to the plug-in section 101, on the outer wall side 10a of the fleece wall 10 in the area around the through-slot recess 20. The rear side of the stop surface 131, i.e. the side of the stop section 130 facing away from the fleece wall 10, serves as a pressure surface for the user when inserting and screwing in the plug-and-rotate connector 100 when assembling or assembling the monitor riser 1. The stop section 130 is therefore approximately the width of a finger, ie it has (in the intended state of the plug-and-rotate connector 100 in the vertical direction Z) a height 132 between 10 mm and 30 mm, here for example exactly 11 mm.

[0119] To do this, the plug-and-turn connector 100 is threaded or inserted at a slight angle with the hooking lug 105 leading or leading into the corresponding through-slot recess 20. It is then advisable, for example, to use a finger, such as the thumb, or the palm of a hand, to press on the back of the stop surface 131 of the stop section 130, in particular on the end that is still protruding further at this point, to cause a screwing movement into the securing position in the through-openings 20, 36 of the fleece wall 10 and the metal sheet 31. The plug-and-turn connector 100 is thus pressed into the securing position and rotated until, as previously described, its stop surface 131 lies flat against the outer wall side 10a of the fleece wall 10.

[0120] Ultimately, a positive connection or securing is achieved in a very simple manner. For this purpose, the plug-and-turn connector 100, as already mentioned, only needs to be adapted to the wall thickness 40 and slot dimensions 37, 38 of the hooking slot 36 of the metal sheet 31 as well as the wall thickness 16 and slot dimensions 27, 28 of the through-slot recess 20 of the fleece wall 10, i.e., in total, to the slot dimensions 27, 28, 37, 38 and the total wall thickness d 16 , 40 , be adjusted so that it clamps the metal sheet 31 through the appropriate clamping distance a 100 (see Fig. 8) connects positively to the fleece wall 10.

[0121] In the Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 shows yet another embodiment of a piece of furniture 200 designed according to the invention, here a box 200. Fig. 12 shows the box 200 in a fully assembled state from the front left. Fig. 13 shows the box 200 from the left rear in an exploded view, in which the individual components of the box 200 can be seen. As can be seen particularly well in Fig. 13, the box 200 comprises a lid 250, a substantially rectangular fleece wall 210 with a continuous front wall section 217, two laterally adjoining side wall sections 213, 214 and two butt-connected rear wall sections 215a, 215b (here in the exploded view slightly spaced apart for better visibility), which in the fully assembled state according to Fig. 12 form a continuous outer wall of the box 200. Since Fig. 12 shows the front of the box 200, however, the rear wall is not shown in this fully assembled state.

[0122] Furthermore, the box 200 comprises a metal sheet 231 (as plate element 231) as the base plate 231 and two plug-and-turn connectors 100. In addition, the box 200 also has two foot or base sections 240 made of plate-shaped nonwoven material, which extend parallel to the side wall sections 213, 214 of the nonwoven wall 210.

[0123] The fleece wall 210 comprises in each of the two rear wall sections 215a, 215b to be connected to form a closed rear wall a horizontal through slot 220 (in Fig. 13 is hardly recognizable, but it can be seen that the slots 20 in the fleece wall 10 for the plug-and-turn connector 100 according to the Fig. 5 to 8 in the first embodiment, since the plug-in connection principle is analogous here), into which, in the fully assembled state, one of the two plug-in rotary connectors 100 is screwed into a securing position. Furthermore, the fleece wall 210 comprises, on the inner wall side in the front wall section 217, at each end, shortly before the transition into the two side wall sections 213, 214, two (dashed) blind slot recesses 221 for receiving two (briefly described below) associated plug-in tongues 234 of the metal sheet 231.

[0124] The metal sheet 231 has along a rear (in Fig. 13 front) edge has a bent or angled wall section 230 in sections, which, in alignment with the previously mentioned through slots 220 in the rear wall sections 215a, 215b of the fleece wall 210, also has two elongated, horizontal through slots 236 or hooking slots 236 (also in Fig. 13 due to the size of the illustration hardly recognizable, but analogous to the corresponding slots 36 on the sides of the metal sheet 31 in Fig. 11). In addition, the metal sheet 231 comprises along a front (in Fig. 13 rear) edge, two insertion tongues 234 or projections at the end, which, in the properly assembled state of the box 200, at least partially engage in the previously mentioned bag slot recesses 221 in the fleece wall 210.

[0125] The fleece wall 210 is securely connected to the metal sheet 231 according to the same principle already described above in the course of the particularly preferred embodiment by means of the plug-and-turn connectors 100 in the through slots 220, 236. As mentioned, the insertion tongues 234 of the metal sheet 231 are inserted into the corresponding bag slot recesses 221 in the inner wall side of the fleece wall 210. In the fully assembled state, the metal sheet 231 thus forms the base of the box 200. So that the feet of the box 200 formed by the foot or base sections 240 do not have to be glued or fastened in any other way, they can preferably taper slightly from top to bottom as indicated here, so that the base of the box 200 is held in place by gravity due to the conical shape of the foot or base sections 240 in the assembled state, since they are held in position by the circumferential fleece wall 210 in a form-fitting manner.

[0126] The lid 250 of the box 200, already mentioned above, has a metal sheet 251 that projects slightly beyond the outline of the fleece wall 210. To ensure that the lid 250 is securely held on the box body (which is essentially formed by the base and the surrounding fleece wall 210) of the box 200, it has a rectangular "ring strip" 252 made of fleece material on the underside of the metal sheet 251, the outer outline of which is minimally smaller than the outline along the inside of the fleece wall 210 and / or tapers downwards, so that when the lid 250 is placed on the upper edge of the fleece wall 210, the ring strip 252 engages within the upper edge of the fleece wall 210 and is thus secured against lateral slipping by the upper edge of the fleece wall 210 (preferably by a slight interference fit or press fit). The cover 250 can preferably only be released if it is lifted at least slightly. The ring strip 252 can, for example,be glued to the metal sheet 251 (preferably with an adhesive that can be easily removed by the user for recycling if necessary). As an alternative to the ring strip 252, a continuous fleece plate with corresponding external dimensions could also be attached to the metal sheet 251. In addition, the foot or base sections 240 are preferably shaped and arranged on the underside of the box 200 such that when two boxes 200 are stacked on top of one another (if the lower box 200 does not have a lid), the boxes 200 interlock well, since the foot or base sections 240 on the underside of the upper box 200 protrude snugly into the lower box 200, which is open at the top.

[0127] In the Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 shows a third embodiment of a piece of furniture 200 designed according to the invention, here a multi-part wall element 800. As in Fig. 14, the multi-part wall element 800 comprises, as main components, three vertically parallel, spaced-apart, elongated clamping profiles 820 or metal profiles 820, as well as, here by way of example, three fleece panel blanks 801 or fleece panels 801 made of plate-shaped fleece material 801m with a fleece wall thickness 802. These are each essentially U-shaped in cross-section with two legs spaced apart at a leg distance to form a first clamping region 823. The legs of the "U" protrude forward from the clamping profile 820 in the direction of the fleece panel blanks 801, since they are intended to receive the fleece panel blanks 801. The back of the clamping profile 820 is straight or flat and has only key-shaped elongated holes 838 in some places for fastening the clamping profile 820 with the back (e.g. with screws etc.) to a frame or a wall.

[0128] The forward-facing legs comprise projections 821 or insertion tongues 821 which protrude in sections (serving as clamping surfaces 821 as explained below) and which serve for attaching the fleece panel blanks 801, which in turn are provided with corresponding slots 815, more precisely blind slots 815. In Fig. 13 shows, by way of example, three fleece panel blanks 801 or fleece panels 801. The fleece panel blanks 801 are each clamped in two of the clamping profiles 820 and thereby indirectly connect them to one another in a horizontal transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the clamping profiles 820.

[0129] Each of the fleece plate blanks 801 has four slots 815 at each of its two end sections, which are arranged in pairs in a line above and below the Fig. 13 visible slots 816 (explanation of this later) are located on the inner wall side of the fleece panel blanks 801 facing the clamping profiles 820 (see the two exemplary slots 815 in Fig. 14).

[0130] As in Fig. 14, the slots 815 each receive one of the insertion tongues 821 of the clamping profiles 820 formed or projecting along the legs of the clamping profiles 820 when the fleece panel blanks 801 are plugged onto the clamping profiles 820. These insertion tongues 821 are held in a clamping fit in the slots 815 of the fleece panel blank 801 plugged onto them, and at the same time the plate-shaped fleece material or the material section of the fleece panel blank 801 is also held in a clamping fit between two mutually facing clamping surfaces 824, 825, 834, 835, which are formed by adjacent insertion tongues 821.

[0131] For the two outer clamping profiles 820 of the three shown, the fleece panel blanks 801 are placed on the clamping profiles 820 in such a way that insertion tongues 821 clamp into all four slots 815 of the fleece panel blanks 801. For the inner or middle clamping profile 820, the two left insertion tongues 821 of the left leg of the clamping profile 820 are placed in the two outer slots 815 of the left fleece panel blank 801 (see Fig. 13). However, the two insertion tongues 821 of the right leg of the clamping profile 820 are inserted into the two outer slots 815 of the (in Fig. 14 for better visibility of the clamping profile 820 behind it (not shown). This means that in the illustrated construction of the multi-part wall element 800, each of the fleece panel cutouts 801 is inserted into six of its slots 815 on six insertion tongues 821. To ensure a firm hold of the fleece panel cutouts 801 on the clamping profiles 820, the profile wall thickness 822 of the clamping profiles 820 is matched to the slots 815 of the fleece panel cutouts 801, at least in the clamping area 823, so that the fleece panel cutouts 801 are already securely clamped in the clamping profiles 820. In addition, the distances (includingThe distance (i.e., the leg spacing) of the insertion tongues 821 relative to one another is selected, as mentioned, such that the fleece panel blanks 801 are clamped in the first clamping region 823 between the mutually facing first clamping surfaces 824, 825 of the insertion tongues 821 of the respective outer clamping profile 820 and, at the same time, in the second clamping region 833 between the mutually facing second clamping surfaces 834, 835 of the insertion tongues 821 of the respective outer clamping profile 820 and the respective closer insertion tongue 821 of the inner clamping profile 820, since the clamping surfaces 824, 825, 834, 835 are somewhat closer to one another than the inner walls of the blind slots 815 of the fleece panel blanks 801 which are in contact with these clamping surfaces 824, 825, 834, 835 when inserted.

[0132] As already mentioned, the wall element 800 (here, for example, only the left upper fleece panel cutout 801) is additionally secured with the plug-and-turn connectors 100 (already explained in detail above) in order to connect the fleece panel cutouts 801 in a form-fitting manner. For this purpose, as already mentioned, there are through-slots 816 in the fleece panel blanks 801 as well as through-slots 837 or hooking slots 837 in short, angled wall sections 836 (each between two insertion tongues 821) along the legs of the clamping profiles 820, which are aligned with the through-slots 816 of the fleece panel blanks 801, so that the plug-and-turn connectors 100 can be inserted through two through-slots 816, 837 located in front of one another and then screwed into a designated securing position (see the finished screwed-in state in Fig. 14). In the securing position, the plug-in rotary connectors 100 are fully inserted with their insertion section 101 into the through-slots 816, 837, with their hooking lug 105 (see in Fig. 9 the lower of the two exemplary plug-and-turn connectors 100, which is shown here in an exploded view before being inserted into the slot 816 of the lower fleece panel blank 801) presses from the inside against a section of the wall section 836 adjacent to the end of the through slot 816 in the wall section 836 of the clamping profile 820, and its stop section 130 strikes the front of the fleece panel blank 801, so that a simple, linear slipping or pulling out of the fleece panel blank 801 from the clamping profiles 820 is reliably prevented as intended. In order to additionally secure the fleece panel blank 801 in a form-fitting manner in the clamping profile 820, ieFor example, to prevent a simple pulling movement away from the clamping profile 820, the plug-and-turn connector 100 is adapted to the profile wall thickness 822 and the slot dimensions of the through slot 837 of the wall section 836 of the clamping profile 820 as well as the fleece wall thickness 802 and slot dimensions of the through slot recess 816 of the fleece panel blanks 801 and has the corresponding clamping distance a. 100 (see Fig. 9; distance of the hooking nose 105 from the stop section 130).

[0133] The multi-part wall element 800 can be used in a variety of ways: The fleece panel cutouts 801 or fleece panels 801 form a wall surface, allowing the multi-part wall element 800 to be used, for example, as a room divider if the clamping profiles 820 are attached to a frame. On the other hand, the multi-part wall element 800 also forms a usable surface. Thanks to the fleece material, it can be used, for example, as a pinboard, but also for hanging hooks for boxes, containers, or flower boxes.

[0134] Finally, it should be noted once again that the device described in detail above is merely an exemplary embodiment that can be modified in a variety of ways by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, other items of furniture such as chests of drawers, sideboards, cupboards, shelves, etc. are also encompassed within the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the use of the indefinite articles "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that the relevant features may be present in multiple instances. Likewise, the term "element" does not exclude the possibility that the relevant component consists of several interacting subcomponents, which may also be spatially distributed.
