Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a drawer with two spaced-apart metal side panels, wherein a drawer interior is arranged between the side panels. The invention further relates to a piece of furniture comprising a furniture body and at least one such drawer.
[0002] The Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 shows a piece of furniture 20 according to the state of the art in a perspective view ( Fig. 1) and in a side view ( Fig. 2) The piece of furniture 20 comprises a cabinet 19 on which several drawers 101 are movably mounted. To maximize storage space, it is advantageous to provide as many drawers as possible with a relatively low height. However, this makes it impossible to store certain items that exceed the height of the drawers. The figures show, for example, a soup ladle 37, whose height exceeds the height of the drawer, so that attempting to close the drawer results in a collision with the cabinet.
[0003] The object of the present invention is to at least partially overcome the described disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a drawer improved compared to the prior art and a piece of furniture with such an improved drawer, wherein the drawer is intended in particular to create the conditions for increasing the storage space of the drawer while maintaining the same height of the drawer.
[0004] This problem is solved by the features of claims 1 and 15.
[0005] The drawer design therefore provides for at least one intermediate drawer, designed as a separate unit, with two spaced-apart side walls that are essentially parallel to the two side walls of the drawer, being arranged between the side frames, the side walls of the intermediate drawer being connected to the side frames of the drawer via adapters.
[0006] In this context, the term "separate assembly unit" means that the intermediate drawer, including its side panels, can be handled as an independent assembly unit. This makes it possible, for example, during drawer manufacturing to provide at least one intermediate drawer and an outer drawer frame (which includes at least the two side panels) independently of each other, and then to connect the intermediate drawer to the outer drawer frame using adapters.
[0007] Including at least one intermediate drawer allows for increased storage capacity while maintaining the same drawer height. While this results in a significantly more complex design, which might initially seem disadvantageous to a professional, it also increases design flexibility. For example, the intermediate drawer can be made deeper and / or have a thinner base. Furthermore, the side walls of the intermediate drawer can be used as internal dividers for the drawer. Another advantage is that while the metal side panels ensure a high-quality appearance on the exterior, the interior of the drawer can be made of a different material, such as wood or plastic.Finally, providing at least one intermediate drawer in combination with adapters offers the advantage that, by using as many identical parts as possible, drawers with very different interior solutions can be manufactured.
[0008] The term "metal side frames" means that at least one base body of the side frames is made of metal, preferably with outer visible surfaces made of metal, which does not preclude the possibility of coated metal surfaces. However, further components made of a non-metallic material may also be arranged within and / or on the base body. The base body can, for example, be formed from an extruded profile and / or one or more bent steel sheets.
[0009] According to an advantageous embodiment, the side frames are formed from at least one sheet of steel, preferably bent and / or profiled. This allows for the simple production of stable and visually appealing side frames. In the case of a hollow profile made from sheet steel, further devices, such as fastening and / or adjustment devices, can be arranged inside the side frame.
[0010] Alternatively or additionally, the intermediate drawer can be made predominantly of wood and / or a wood substitute material or of plastic. Plastic offers the advantage of allowing for significantly more complex designs, such as a cutlery insert with multiple compartments. Such an intermediate drawer can also be easily manufactured using injection molding.
[0011] According to an advantageous embodiment, alone or in combination with one or more of the other embodiments, at least one, preferably both, adapters has at least one horizontally oriented web in the operating position, preferably wherein the web is oriented substantially parallel to a base of the intermediate drawer, and particularly preferably wherein the web and the base of the intermediate drawer are arranged at different heights in the vertical direction, preferably wherein the top surface of the base of the intermediate drawer has a height between 70 mm and 90 mm relative to the top surface of the side walls of the intermediate drawer. If the adapter includes at least one horizontally oriented web in the operating position, it advantageously fulfills a dual function: Firstly, it serves to connect the at least one intermediate drawer to the side frames.On the other hand, the jetty itself can be used for storing cargo.
[0012] According to an advantageous embodiment, alone or in combination with one or more of the other embodiments, at least one, preferably both, of the adapters is positively connected, integrally, or by means of at least one snap-fit connection to the intermediate drawer and / or the side panels of the drawer, or wherein at least one, preferably both, of the adapters has at least one support rib on which the intermediate drawer can be arranged, at least partially. In this way, the adapter can be connected simply and securely to the at least one intermediate drawer and / or the side panels of the drawer.
[0013] According to an advantageous embodiment, alone or in combination with one or more of the other embodiments, it is provided that at least one of the, preferably both, side frames has at least one groove into which the adapter can be inserted in a form-fitting or clamping manner.
[0014] According to an advantageous embodiment, alone or in combination with one or more of the other embodiments, at least one, preferably both, adapters has at least one vertically oriented web in a rear area of the drawer, preferably with at least one fastening device being provided by which the vertically oriented web is detachably connected or connectable to one of the side panels, particularly preferably with the fastening device being an integral part of the side panel. If the adapter comprises at least one vertically oriented web, it advantageously fulfills a dual function: Firstly, it serves to connect the at least one intermediate drawer to the side panels.On the other hand, the bridge can be used to form a back wall, which means that items placed in the area of the adapter can be safely stored in the drawer.
[0015] According to an advantageous embodiment, alone or in combination with one or more of the other embodiments, it is provided that the side walls of the intermediate drawer are connected to the side frames of the drawer via adapters in a movement-coupled manner, so that the drawer together with the intermediate drawer forms a jointly movable furniture part.

[0023] The Fig. 1 and Fig. Figures 2 have already been described in the introductory section. The drawer 101 shown in these figures can also be used in combination with one or more drawers 1 according to the present disclosure in a piece of furniture 20 with a furniture carcass 19.
[0024] The Fig. Figures 3-9 show a first embodiment of a drawer 1 with extension guides 18, wherein the Fig. 3 - 5 an open position and the Fig. Figures 6-9 show the drawer 1 in a closed position. When installed in a piece of furniture 20, the drawer 1 would, in the open position, be located at least partially outside the furniture carcass 19 of the furniture 20, and in the closed position, within the furniture carcass 19. The drawer 1 can be connected to the furniture carcass 19 via laterally arranged extension guides 18, wherein the extension guides 18 comprise a cabinet rail 44 to be connected to the furniture carcass 19, a drawer rail 21 to be connected to the drawer 1, and optionally an intermediate rail arranged between them to extend the extension travel of the extension guides 18. In the open position of the drawer 1, the drawer rail 21 is arranged as an extension of the cabinet rail 44; in the closed position, the two rails are arranged essentially one above the other.
[0025] The drawer 1 comprises two spaced-apart side frames 2 made of metal, with a drawer interior 3 arranged between the side frames 2 (see figure). Fig. 1) wherein an intermediate drawer 4, designed as a separate unit, is arranged between the side frames 2, with two spaced-apart side walls 5 that are oriented essentially parallel to the two side frames 2 of the drawer 1, the side walls 5 of the intermediate drawer 4 being connected to the side frames 2 of the drawer 1 via adapters 6. In the assembled state, the side walls 5 of the intermediate drawer 4 are connected to the side frames 2 of the drawer 1 via adapters 6 in a movement-coupled manner, so that the drawer 1 together with the intermediate drawer 4 forms a single, movable piece of furniture.
[0026] The metal side frames 2 are formed from at least one, preferably bent and / or profiled, sheet steel 7 (see, for example, the enlarged section of the Fig. 5).
[0027] The intermediate drawer 4 is made predominantly of wood and / or a wood substitute material and has a back wall 27 and a base 9.
[0028] A top surface 11 of the side walls 5 of the intermediate drawer 4 is arranged essentially in the same plane as a top surface 12 of the side frames 2 of the drawer 1. However, configurations are also conceivable in which a top surface 11 of the side walls is arranged below or just above a top surface 12 of the side frames 2 of the drawer 1.
[0029] The adapters 6 have a web 8 that is horizontally oriented in the operating position, wherein the web 8 is oriented substantially parallel to a base 9 of the intermediate drawer 4, and wherein the web 8 and the base 9 of the intermediate drawer 4 are arranged at different heights in the vertical direction. It can advantageously be provided that a top surface 10 of the base 9 of the intermediate drawer 4 has a height 13 between 70 mm and 90 mm relative to a top surface 11 of the side walls 5 of the intermediate drawer 4.
[0030] This design of drawer 1 increases the storage space compared to that in the Fig. 1 and Fig. The drawer 101 shown in Figure 2 is enlarged. The available space is limited at the bottom in the area of the drawer slides 18. However, the storage space can be increased by means of at least one intermediate drawer 4, which has a lowered bottom 9 that projects into the previously unused space between the drawer slides 18. In this way, for example, a soup ladle 37 can be placed in drawer 1 without having to change the overall height of drawer 1.
[0031] The adapters 6 are positively connected to the intermediate drawer 4, e.g. to the side walls 5 of the intermediate drawer 4, e.g. as in the illustrated case by a groove 45 and a corresponding spring 46.
[0032] On the other hand, the adapters 6 are connected to the side frames 2 of the drawer 1. The side frames 2 have, for example, at least one groove 15 into which the adapters 6 can be inserted in a form-fitting or clamping manner.
[0033] One or more stops 47 can be provided, which facilitates the relative positioning of the adapters 6 and the intermediate drawer 4. The stop(s) 47 can, for example, be located in a rear area of the drawer 1.
[0034] In the illustrated case, the adapters 6 have a vertically oriented web 16 in a rear area of the drawer 1, with a fastening device 17 being provided in each case, by which the vertically oriented web 16 can be detachably connected or connected to the side frames 2. In the illustrated case, the fastening device 17 is an integral part of the side frame 2 (see, e.g., the Fig. 8, Fig. 9).
[0035] Fastening can be achieved via locking means 49, e.g. in the form of locking openings and corresponding locking projections. In the specific case shown, the vertically oriented web 16 includes locking openings into which locking projections of the fastening device 17 engage.
[0036] The side frames 2 can be secured to the extension guides 18 by means of lifting safety devices 48 arranged on the drawer rail 21, e.g. hook-shaped.
[0037] The adapters 6 can each be supported at least partially, preferably as in the illustrated case via at least one bearing point 22, on the loading rail 21, preferably on a top surface 23 of the loading rail 21 (see, for example, the enlarged section of the Fig. 5).
[0038] The drawer 1 has at least one front panel 24, wherein the front panel 24 preferably has a height 25 of substantially 100 mm or a multiple thereof, and / or is connected or connectable to the side frames 2 and / or the side walls 5 of the intermediate drawer 4, preferably via fastening devices 26 as in the illustrated case.

[0046] The Fig. Figures 16 to 21 show a fourth embodiment of a drawer 1.
[0047] In contrast to the third embodiment, the adapters 6 in the fourth embodiment are integrally connected to the intermediate drawer box 4.
[0048] Regardless, the adapters 6 do not have a vertically oriented web 16 that forms part of the back wall of the drawer 1.
[0049] Rather, the drawer 1 has a back wall 30, wherein the back wall 30 has at least one end section 31, preferably two end sections 31 as in the illustrated case, with a first height 32 and at least one adjoining section 33 with a second height 34 greater than the first height 32 (cf. Fig. 18).
[0050] The rear wall 30 has at least one support rib 35 for the intermediate drawer 4 and at least one support rib 36 for one of the adapters 6, wherein the two support ribs 35, 36 are arranged at different heights (see the Fig. 19 and Fig. 20).
[0051] A retaining contour 54 is arranged on the rear side of the intermediate drawer 54, which rests on the support rib 35.
[0052] The back wall 30 extends between the two side frames 2.
[0053] The back panel 30 is made of a sheet of steel.
[0054] The Fig. Figures 22 to 27 show a fifth embodiment of a drawer 1.
[0055] The fifth embodiment differs from the fourth embodiment primarily in the design of the rear wall 30 of the drawer 1. In the fifth embodiment, the rear wall 30 is made, for example, of wood and / or a wood substitute material and has a support rib 35 for supporting the intermediate drawer 4. The support rib 35 can be part of a groove 51. A support rib for the adapters 6 is not provided, but could optionally be included.
[0056] The Fig. 28 and Fig. Figure 29 shows a sixth embodiment of a drawer 1.
[0057] In this embodiment, the rear wall 30 of the drawer 1 is essentially cuboid in shape.
[0058] The intermediate drawer 4 is suspended from the rear wall 30 by means of at least one suspension device 43. The suspension device 43 can, as in the illustrated case, be arranged, for example, on an upper surface of the rear wall 27 of the intermediate drawer 4 and have a suspension contour.
[0059] The Fig. Figures 30 to 32 show a seventh embodiment of a drawer 1.
[0060] A mounting device 43 is provided, with which the intermediate drawer 4 can be mounted on the rear wall 30.
[0061] In contrast to the sixth embodiment, the adapters 6 can be connected to the side frames 2 by means of at least one snap-fit connection. For this purpose, for example clips 52 can be provided which can be snapped into a groove 15 in the side frames 2.
[0062] In this embodiment, an outer frame, which is formed from the two side frames 2, a back panel 30 and a front panel 24, can first be provided and then the intermediate drawer box 4 can be inserted into the frame, e.g. from above.
[0063] Optionally, a holding device 53 can be provided on the front panel 24 to support the intermediate drawer 4 from the front.
[0064] The essential features of the embodiments presented in this disclosure can be combined in any way to form further embodiments.
