Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a flexible furniture unit that can be used flexibly, particularly in the living area and preferably in the kitchen. In particular, the furniture unit according to the invention can be used as a type of cupboard or wall unit, allowing a wide variety of items to be stored inside the furniture unit.

[0002] A wide variety of furniture units have become known in the state of the art, for example as wall cabinets, whose furniture carcass is attached to a wall of a room and, for example, screwed on. The structure of such wall cabinets is usually clearly defined. The position of the side walls of a furniture carcass in relation to each other is determined by the furniture carcass construction, so that whenever the furniture carcass is adjusted, the entire furniture carcass is always adjusted. A sub-shelf is usually provided as the lower end and a top shelf as the upper end, between which one or more intermediate shelves can be provided depending on the type and size of the wall cabinet. Such a wall cabinet is suitable for the structured accommodation of a wide variety of storage items. A disadvantage, however, is the strict structure, which allows only limited flexibility.

[0003] KR 20-2009-007152 U discloses a shelving system with hinged shelves that can be attached to rails. DE 10 2014 110 453 A1 shows a holder and a shelf for kitchens. DE 10 2015 113 427 A1 shows a wall cabinet with a hinged door. DE 10 2017 104 183 A1 shows a piece of furniture with a wall element and other connected furniture components. US 3,362,768 discloses a furniture system that can be attached to the wall. US 8,177,311 B2 shows a storage system with a separate back panel to which elements can be flexibly attached.

[0004] DE 20 2006 014 397 U1 discloses a wall-mounted storage device for kitchens, which includes a rear wall that can be attached to a room wall. A horizontally extending top shelf is provided on the rear wall. The rear wall is equipped with horizontally running rails, to which one or more support modules can be flexibly and horizontally slidably attached. Such a storage device or wall cabinet can be used more flexibly than conventional wall cabinets, in which the bottom shelf forms the lower end. However, even greater flexibility is desired. Relevant prior art can also be found in US 3 362 768 A and US 8 177 311 B2.

[0005] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a furniture unit, in particular for the living area and / or the kitchen area, which enables even greater flexibility.

[0006] This object is achieved by a furniture unit according to the invention having the features of claim 1. Preferred developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the general description and the description of the exemplary embodiments.

[0007] A furniture unit according to the invention comprises two spaced-apart functional walls on which at least one movable furniture component is received and guided. The furniture component is movable between at least two positions. In a closed position, the furniture component at least partially separates and / or covers a space between the functional walls and, in an open position, at least partially exposes the space or a storage space between the functional walls. The two functional walls can be fastened to a room wall, and their spatial position relative to the room wall is adjustable. At least one separate furniture part is arranged in the space and fastened to the room wall. The two functional walls can be adjusted independently of one another in their spatial position via separately adjustable mounting devices. The two functional walls are connected to one another only via the furniture component of the furniture unit.

[0008] The movable furniture component is preferably designed as a flap device or comprises such a device.

[0009] In particular, a preferred furniture unit according to the invention comprises two spaced-apart functional walls on which at least one flap device is received and guided. The flap device is movable between at least two positions. In a closed position, the flap device at least partially covers a space between the functional walls and, in an open position, at least partially uncovers the space between the functional walls. The two functional walls can be adjusted independently of one another in their spatial position via separately adjustable mounting devices.

[0010] The movement of the movable furniture component or a furniture component designed as a flap device is not restricted in terms of either its kinematic sequence or its spatial direction. For example, it is possible for the furniture component or at least a part thereof to perform a rotary movement, a pivoting movement, a sliding movement, or a combination of at least two of these types of movement.

[0011] The spatial arrangement of the functional walls is not limited to a substantially vertical arrangement; the functional walls can also be arranged horizontally or diagonally (or deliberately and deliberately skewed) on the room wall.

[0012] The direction of movement of the furniture component or the flap device or one or more parts thereof can accordingly also occur in different spatial directions.

[0013] The furniture unit according to the invention has many advantages. A significant advantage of the furniture unit according to the invention is that the space between the functional walls, which are spaced apart from one another, particularly laterally, can be used completely flexibly.

[0014] Because the two functional walls can each be individually and separately adjusted in their spatial position independently of one another, it is possible, for example, to attach only the two functional walls to a single room wall. The two functional walls can then be connected to one another solely by the furniture component, e.g. a flap device or a drawer. To achieve an optimal arrangement, the location and position of the two functional walls can be adjusted independently and separately. This makes it possible to compensate for lateral or height tolerances or angular deviations that arise when mounting the functional walls to a room wall.

[0015] The movable furniture component is preferably designed as a flap device, but can also be designed as a drawer or form part of one. Such a drawer can be movably attached or accommodated on the functional walls. It is possible to limit the invention to a furniture unit with a flap device.

[0016] It is preferred that the two functional walls be attachable to a room wall or a room wall. Preferably, the spatial position of the functional walls relative to the room wall is adjustable. In the intermediate space, furniture parts that are preferably not connected to the furniture unit can be (separately) attached to the room wall, and thus these furniture parts can be arranged in the intermediate space between the functional walls. This allows for particularly extensive flexibility in the use of the furniture unit according to the invention. One furniture part or several - even independent - furniture parts can be attached to the room wall (also called a room wall) in the intermediate space between the functional walls. This results in a completely flexible design option for the intermediate space between the functional walls or for the covering space that can be at least partially covered or separated by the furniture component.

[0017] In a particularly preferred and particularly simple embodiment, the furniture unit according to the invention essentially consists of two functional walls and an adjustable flap, which, at least in the closed position, essentially covers the space between the two functional walls. Separately adjustable mounting devices on the functional walls allow adjustment of the spatial position of the two functional walls relative to each other, thus enabling a technically suitable and aesthetically desirable spatial adjustment of the furniture unit according to the invention.

[0018] The furniture unit according to the invention can be designed, in particular, as a type of cupboard or wall unit, wherein the furniture unit according to the invention lacks, in particular, a top panel and a bottom panel, as well as intermediate panels. In preferred embodiments, the furniture unit according to the invention forms a complete piece of furniture, but apart from a movable furniture component in the form of, for example, a flap device between the inner surfaces of the functional walls, it has no internal parts.

[0019] A flap device as a movable furniture component can be designed, in particular, as a single-part or multi-part flap, or as another movable furniture part, or can comprise the like. A lid can also be a flap within the meaning of the present invention.

[0020] The term "functional wall" refers to a wall of the furniture unit that provides an additional function. In particular, a flap fitting is arranged on the functional wall or incorporated within it. Particularly preferably, a flap fitting is at least partially integrated into the interior of the functional wall.

[0021] A functional wall can be a side wall of the furniture unit. It is also possible for a functional wall to form a middle wall of the furniture unit. The furniture unit can comprise two, three or more functional walls. A functional wall can be designed as a side wall or as a middle wall. In one development, the furniture unit can, for example, comprise three furniture walls, with side walls on the outside and a middle wall in between. In this case, it is possible for all three furniture walls to be designed as functional walls. However, it is also possible for only the two outer furniture walls to be designed as functional walls. It is also possible for an outer and the middle furniture wall to be designed as a functional wall, while another side wall forms a pure furniture wall without providing any further functions. In this case, the flap fittings are arranged on a side wall and a middle wall.

[0022] The term "functional wall" can therefore also be replaced by the term "furniture wall with additional function".

[0023] In all configurations, the furniture unit can be part of a larger furniture arrangement, so that in such configurations the furniture unit can also be referred to as a furniture component. In simple cases, the furniture unit forms a complete piece of furniture.

[0024] In all embodiments, it is preferred that 3D adjustability of at least one, and in particular of both, functional walls is enabled. Preferably, vertical alignment and / or horizontal alignment and / or adjustment of a lateral angle and / or an angle to the wall is possible.

[0025] In preferred embodiments, the functional wall has at least one body or wall body or wall body. In particular, a receiving space for at least one fitting component of a flap fitting is formed on the functional wall. In particular, at least one fitting component of the flap fitting is arranged in the receiving space of the functional wall.

[0026] The furniture unit can be attached, in particular, to a room wall. It is also possible for one functional wall to be attached to one room wall and the other functional wall to another room wall. A room wall can, in particular, be a room wall. A room wall can be a building wall. However, a room wall can also be formed by a room divider. A room wall can be solid and / or transportable and, for example, movable. It is also possible for a room wall to be designed as a lightweight wall. Furniture parts that are arranged in the space between the functional walls are preferably attached to the room wall or to different room walls. In this respect, a room wall also includes the ceiling of a room.

[0027] In particularly preferred embodiments, the two functional walls are preferably aligned substantially vertically in the properly mounted state.

[0028] According to the invention, the two functional walls are (essentially) only connected to one another via the movable furniture component (in particular the flap device) of the furniture unit. Preferably, no top panel is provided, and no bottom panel is provided either. Likewise, no rear wall is provided. In special embodiments, however, it is possible for a (single) panel such as a bottom panel, top panel or intermediate panel to be provided between the upper and lower ends of the functional walls. Such a panel is in particular connected to the functional walls on both sides in an articulated and / or flexible manner. Even with such an embodiment, the two functional walls can be aligned practically independently of one another. In this case, adjusting the height of one functional wall does not affect the height of the other functional wall.This allows for separate and effective alignment of the two functional walls and thus the furniture unit as a whole to be carried out quickly and easily.

[0029] Overall, when installing furniture units on room walls, it can be difficult, for example, to precisely position a hole in a concrete wall. This can be due, for example, to reinforcements in the concrete wall, which can lead to a slight shift in the desired drill hole. In all such cases, simple, quick, and thus cost-effective assembly of the furniture unit according to the invention is still possible, since the spatial position of the functional walls and thus of the furniture unit as a whole can be adjusted independently of one another. Adjusting the spatial position of one functional wall does not affect the spatial position of the other functional wall.

[0030] In particularly preferred embodiments, the mounting devices or at least one mounting device comprise at least one mounting profile, in particular for attaching the functional wall to the room wall. In simple embodiments, the mounting profile can be a mounting board, a mounting strip, or the like.

[0031] Preferably, the mounting device, and in particular the mounting profile, comprises at least one mounting flange. The mounting flange can be designed as a flange device or as a fastening flange or fastening tab. In simple embodiments, a T-shaped mounting profile can be provided, which comprises a continuous mounting flange or two fastening tabs, with the web of the "T" serving, for example, as a support unit and at least partially supporting the functional wall.

[0032] In preferred embodiments, the mounting profile has at least one mounting hole. A mounting hole can be used, for example, for fastening and / or for fastening and adjusting the functional wall.

[0033] In advantageous embodiments, the mounting profile is attached to the room wall and / or the functional wall via at least one fastening unit extending through the mounting hole. It is possible to provide a plurality of fastening units for attaching the mounting profile to the room wall and / or a plurality of fastening units for attaching the mounting profile to the body of the functional wall.

[0034] Preferably, the mounting hole or at least one mounting hole has at least one larger diameter than a diameter of the fastening unit, in particular in at least one direction, so that a lateral adjustment and / or a height adjustment and / or an adjustment in the longitudinal direction, in particular of the functional wall or the mounting profile, is made possible.

[0035] In all configurations, it is possible for at least one mounting hole to be designed as an elongated hole. An elongated hole allows for longitudinal displacement. A mounting hole with a larger diameter allows for displacement in all directions.

[0036] It is possible and preferred for at least one fastening unit to comprise a screw with a screw shaft and a screw head that is larger than the screw shaft. The fastening unit may also comprise further parts or components.

[0037] In all embodiments and further developments, it is preferred that the mounting device and in particular the mounting profile comprise at least one support unit projecting transversely from the mounting device or the mounting profile. Such a support unit can be designed as a support element. The support unit can be formed integrally with the mounting device and / or the mounting profile. The support unit can also be a separate element and, for example, be designed as a screw with which the mounting profile is fastened to the body of the functional wall.

[0038] It is preferred that at least one web is formed on the mounting device and in particular the mounting profile, to which the functional wall is attached. In particular, at least one support unit can be designed as a web. The web preferably extends in the longitudinal direction of the mounting profile. The web can in particular be formed integrally with the mounting device and in particular the mounting profile. A substantially T-shaped cross-section of the support unit or the mounting profile is preferred.

[0039] It is possible and preferred that at least one pin for supporting or holding the functional wall is formed on the mounting device, in particular on the mounting profile. In particular, the support unit can be designed as a pin or comprise one. The mounting profile with the transversely projecting pin then preferably forms a T-shaped cross-section.

[0040] The support unit and in particular the pin can preferably comprise a rotatable eccentric, which is in particular received in a receptacle in the body of the functional wall and guides the functional wall. A rotatable eccentric can enable vertical and lateral adjustment of a functional wall. If, for example, two rotatable eccentrics are used vertically spaced from one another, the angular alignment of the functional wall can also be achieved if both eccentrics are deflected in opposite directions. Simultaneous lateral and angular adjustment of a functional wall is also possible using two rotatable eccentrics. This enables particularly flexible and quick assembly and adjustment.

[0041] It is preferred that at least one securing unit, for example, a securing screw, is arranged on the functional wall to secure the functional wall. Such a securing unit or securing screw can, for example, act laterally on the pin or the web of the support unit. A securing unit serves in particular as a pull-off protection, for example, to prevent the functional walls from being pulled horizontally from the room wall.

[0042] In preferred embodiments, the mounting profile can be attached directly to a room wall or the mounting profile can be attached to a mounting rail. In such embodiments, the mounting profile is provided in particular so as to be movable on the mounting rail. The mounting rail is preferably attached to the room wall.

[0043] In preferred embodiments, the mounting rail is designed as a C-rail or H-rail. A C-rail can be attached to the surface of the room wall or, for example, inserted and secured in a groove formed in the room wall. An H-rail can be attached to a room wall in a similar manner. It is possible and preferred for an H-rail to be attached to the room wall using a screw, with the distance between the H-rail and the room wall being adjusted using a nut and, for example, an identically designed lock nut.

[0044] In preferred developments, at least one fastening arm is included, for example with an L-shaped section. The L-shaped section of the fastening arm is then preferably fastened with one leg to the functional wall and with the other leg to the mounting rail and in particular the H-rail. If a furniture unit is mounted using such fastening frames, the H-rail is preferably first attached to the room wall at a distance from one another. The H-rail is preferably provided with enlarged mounting holes and / or elongated holes. Elongated holes are provided, in particular, with the long side in the vertical and horizontal direction. This allows the fastening arm to be fastened with one leg aligned to the H-rail. In this case, a first fastening arm is provided in an upper area and a second in a lower area.The mounting arm is mounted in an aligned manner so that a functional wall can be precisely positioned between the protruding legs of the mounting arms. The functional wall is connected to the protruding legs of the mounting arms using screws, for example. This allows two separately adjustable functional walls to be attached to a room wall and precisely aligned with each other.

[0045] In all embodiments, it is preferred that (at least) one flap fitting is accommodated on each of the two functional walls. Such a flap fitting can be accommodated inside or outside the body of the functional wall. The flap fitting can be arranged visibly on a side wall of the functional wall. The flap fitting can also be arranged and fastened in a receiving space inside the body. Preferably, at least part of a fitting component of the flap fitting is fastened in a receiving space within the body.

[0046] All designs can also include three or more functional walls and / or furniture walls.

[0047] With the furniture unit according to the invention, completely individual storage containers can be mounted in the space between two functional walls, for example, on the room wall. The individual storage containers in the space between the functional walls are not connected to the functional walls, but are screwed directly to the room wall. The width of this construction is completely flexible, as is the selection of storage containers or intermediate containers arranged between the functional walls. A flap device or panel closes off the front view, thus creating a homogeneous appearance if desired, which, when the flap device is opened, reveals the individually arranged and designed storage containers behind it.

[0048] The height of the individual storage containers and the lateral distance between them and the functional walls are completely flexible. The size of the individual storage containers and furniture components can also be freely selected. It is not necessary to connect the side functional walls with a top panel, a bottom panel, or a back panel. The functional walls can be attached and adjusted individually as side walls.

[0049] Another furniture unit according to the invention comprises (only or precisely) a functional wall on which at least one movable furniture component (and, for example, a) flap device is received and guided. The movable furniture component (e.g., flap device) is movable between at least two positions. In a closed position, the movable furniture component (e.g., flap device) at least partially separates a cover space behind the movable furniture component (e.g., flap device) adjacent to the functional wall, and in an open position, at least partially releases the cover space adjacent to the functional wall. The functional wall is adjustable in its spatial position via adjustable mounting devices or at least one adjustable mounting device. The functional wall can be designed as previously described.

[0050] With such a configuration, it is possible to provide only a single functional wall on which an adjustable furniture component (e.g. flap device) is adjustably received and guided. The flap fitting, e.g. of a flap device, can be received laterally on the functional wall and is preferably at least partially received and fastened inside a body of the functional wall. By moving the furniture component from the closed position to an at least partially open position, one or two cover spaces (to the right and left of the functional wall) are at least partially exposed. Different storage containers can be attached to the cover spaces, for example on the room wall, which are concealed by the furniture component or flap or flap device in the closed position.The furniture component or the flap of the flap device can extend to one side of the functional wall or (symmetrically) to both sides.

[0051] In all configurations of a furniture unit with at least one functional wall, it is preferred that at least one orientation point be provided to enable (exact) measurement of the functional walls and / or the room walls relative to one another. A reference point can be taken, in particular, from a group of reference points, which includes markings, recesses, threads, recesses, edges, steps, holes, colored dots, patterns, and the like.

[0052] It is possible and preferred, for example, for at least one fixing unit to be designed for receiving or attaching an aid, a tool, or a measuring instrument to the furniture unit. For example, an eyelet, a hook, or a shoulder can be designed as a fixing unit for a measuring device or a measuring unit, such as the end of a measuring tape, on the furniture unit and, in particular, on at least one functional wall.

[0053] For example, a holder for a laser can also be designed on the furniture unit.

[0054] At least one or more prints can be applied at a defined distance from the front and top, or patterns can be created on the furniture unit to measure the angle(s) and distance between the walls. An adhesive print can be removed, for example, after alignment with a removable film. It is also conceivable to remove applied patterns with general or special erasers or cleaning agents.

[0055] The invention can be used not only with the described furniture units. Areas of application and possible uses also include bathroom furniture and workshop equipment, so that a furniture unit can be designed, for example, as bathroom furniture, workshop equipment, or workshop wall cabinet, or as part of one of these devices.

[0056] In all embodiments, it is possible and preferred that at least one functional wall be aligned in depth. Therefore, a complete 3D alignment of the furniture unit is preferred. In particular, alignment in the horizontal and vertical directions, as well as in depth, is possible.

[0057] Depth adjustment means that the furniture unit as a whole or the alignment of at least one functional wall can be adjusted not only laterally and vertically, but also lengthwise or depthwise, i.e. away from or towards the room wall. Accordingly, it is preferred that at least one inclination is adjustable. This can be done, for example, at upper and lower adjustment points, where a local distance to the room wall is set differently. In the case of (locally) slanted walls, for example, this can be useful and / or necessary to ensure proper function and, in particular, to prevent the flap fitting from jamming.

[0058] It is possible that, when making adjustments to sloping room walls, a gap may appear locally between the functional wall and the room wall. This gap can, however, be covered or filled with suitable material if necessary.

[0059] In all designs and further developments, it is also possible for a lateral securing to take place from the front sides and not only from the flat sides of a functional wall or from the flat sides of the functional walls.

[0060] Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the embodiments which are explained below with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0061] The figures show: Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a furniture unit according to the invention in a closed position; Figure 2 shows the furniture unit according to Figure 1 with opened furniture component; Figure 3 a schematic perspective view of a functional wall of the furniture unit according to Figure 1 ; Figure 4 a mounting profile of the functional wall made of Figure 3in a front view; Figure 5 shows a schematic perspective view of a functional wall with a movable furniture component; Figure 6 shows a further embodiment of a functional wall of a furniture unit according to the invention in a perspective view; Figure 7 shows a mounting profile of the functional wall according to Figure 6 in a perspective view; Figure 8 the mounting profile from Figure 7 in a plan view; Figure 9 a plan view of another functional wall of a furniture unit according to the invention; Figure 10 the enlarged detail "A" from Figure 9 ; Figure 11 shows a functional wall of another furniture unit according to the invention in a perspective view; Figure 12 shows the mounting profile of the functional wall according to Figure 11 in a perspective view; Figure 13 a front view of another functional wall of a furniture unit according to the invention; Figure 14 a perspective view of the functional wall according to Figure 13; Figure 15 a mounting profile of the functional wall according to Figure 13 ; Figure 16 shows a further perspective view of a functional wall of a furniture unit according to the invention; and Figure 17 shows a sectional view of the side view of the functional wall according to Figure 16 ; Figure 18 the enlarged detail "A" from Figure 17 ; Figure 19 a mounting profile of the functional wall according to Figure 17 ; Figure 20 a fastening profile of the functional wall for mounting on the mounting profile.

[0062] In the Figures 1-4 a first embodiment of a furniture unit 1 according to the invention is shown, which here is designed in the manner of a wall cabinet 100 and in the illustrated embodiment comprises two lateral functional walls 2 and 3 and an adjustable movable furniture component 5 and here a movable furniture component 5 designed as a pivotable flap device 5a.

[0063] In all embodiments, it is possible to use another movable furniture component 5 instead of a pivotable flap device 5a. For example, a drawer designed as a furniture component 5 or several drawers can be guided on or between two lateral functional walls 2 and 3.

[0064] At least one drawer 5 designed as a furniture component is then movable between at least two positions 6, 7. Preferably, at least one drawer 5 at least partially covers a gap 8 or receiving space between the functional walls 2, 3 in a closed position 6 and at least partially exposes the gap (the receiving space of the drawer) in an open position 7. The two functional walls 2, 3 can then be adjusted independently of one another in their spatial position via separately adjustable mounting devices 9.

[0065] Particularly preferably, the furniture unit 1 according to the invention is designed in the manner of a cabinet 100. In Figure 1 the flap device 5a designed as a furniture component 5 is in a closed position 6 and in Figure 2 shown in an open or unfolded position 7. In Figure 1 The space 8 between the two functional walls 2 and 3 is essentially covered by the furniture component 5 or, in this case, the flap device 5a in a view directly from the front. However, due to the perspective view diagonally from above, a part of the space 8 is Figure 1 recognizable. As well as Figure 2 shows, a number of separate furniture parts 40 or storage containers are arranged in the space 8 between the two functional walls 2 and 3.

[0066] The furniture parts 40 are each separately attached to the room wall 50. This means that the individual furniture parts 40 do not need to have any connection to each other. Likewise, the furniture parts 40 have no connection to the furniture unit 1 or to the functional walls 2 and 3 below or behind the flap device 4.

[0067] In a simple design, as in Figures 1-4 As shown, the furniture unit 1 consists of the lateral functional walls 2 and 3 and the flap device 5 with the pivoting flap and the flap fittings 18, which are omitted here for the sake of clarity. A flap fitting 18 is, for example, in Figure 5 recognizable. A wide variety of flap fittings can be used.

[0068] The functional walls 2 and 3 are preferably constructed essentially identically or with mirror symmetry. The functional walls 2 and 3 form furniture walls of the furniture unit 1 and also have an additional function. Here, the functional walls 2 and 3 accommodate the flap fittings 18. The flap fittings can, for example, be arranged visibly on the inner wall of the functional walls 2, 3, so that the flap fittings are visible after the flap device 5a has been moved into the open position 7. However, it is possible and preferred for the flap fittings to be accommodated at least partially, and in particular almost entirely in the closed position, within the body 4 of the functional wall 2 or 3. For this purpose, the functional walls 2 and 3 each have a receiving space 19 which serves to accommodate a flap fitting 18.

[0069] To assemble the furniture unit 1, the functional walls 2 and 3 are first attached separately to the room wall 50. The flap device 5a is preferably attached only after the two functional walls 2 and 3 have been completely assembled and adjusted.

[0070] For assembly, in this embodiment, a mounting profile 10, which is designed here as a mounting board or mounting strip 11, is screwed to the room wall 50 for each functional wall 2, 3. Alignment of the respective functional wall 2, 3 in spatial terms is achieved by corresponding alignment at the mounting holes 14, 15, which are designed here as elongated holes.

[0071] The separate furniture parts 40 can be mounted separately on the room wall 50 before or after the complete assembly of the furniture unit 1. The size, type, and quality of the individual furniture parts 40 can be individually selected. It is also possible for a part of a furniture part 40 to protrude upwards beyond the flap device 5a, for example, if complete coverage is not desired in the closed state. Likewise, parts can also protrude downwards beyond the lower end of the flap device 5a, even when the flap device 5a is in the closed position 6. However, the flap device 5a will usually completely cover the furniture parts 40 attached behind it, at least in a view from the front in the closed position 6, so that a uniform front view is produced in the closed position 6.

[0072] The width and height of furniture unit 1 are completely customizable. If certain widths are exceeded, or if the user so desires, it is also possible to provide, for example, a third or fourth functional wall between the two functional walls 2 and 3 to support the flap device against three or more functional walls.

[0073] The mounting profiles 10 on the functional walls 2 and 3 form the mounting device 9 in order to spatially align the functional walls 2 and 3 individually and separately from one another.

[0074] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the functional wall 2, wherein the receiving space 19 inside the body 4 of the functional wall 2 is visible in dashed lines. For example, a cassette with a flap fitting 18 can be inserted into the receiving space 19, or a flap fitting can be mounted therein.

[0075] The body 4 of the functional wall 2 is screwed to the mounting profile 10, designed as a mounting board 11, via support units 30, here designed as screws. The screws 30 are screwed into the receptacles 26 in the body 4 of the functional wall 2 in order to firmly connect the body 4 to the mounting profile 10 of the mounting device 9. The functional wall 2 can be spatially aligned using the elongated holes 14 and 15, which are accessible from the outside, at the upper and lower ends of the mounting profile 10. The mounting profile 10 is fastened to the room wall, such as a concrete wall or a lightweight wall, by means of the fastening unit 20. The room wall 50 can be a room wall of a building. The room wall 50 can also be mobile and, for example, movable. It is also possible for the room wall 50 to be provided by a room divider.

[0076] Figure 4shows a top view of the mounting profile 10 of the mounting device 9 for the functional wall 2, wherein the mounting holes 13, which are designed as elongated holes 14 and 15, respectively, and the mounting holes 16 for mounting the functional wall 2 can be seen at the upper and lower ends, and in between them the mounting holes 13 for mounting the functional wall 2. The mounting holes 13 for fastening to the room wall 50 preferably have at least a larger diameter 17 than an outer diameter 21 of the screw shaft 23 of the fastening unit 20. The screw head 24, in turn, has a larger diameter than the mounting hole, thus enabling adjustable mounting on the room wall 50.

[0077] Figure 5shows a perspective schematic representation of a functional wall 2, which can be used in a wide variety of embodiments. The functional wall 2 can have internal receptacles 26 for support units or the like, with which the functional wall 2 can be attached, for example, to a mounting profile 10. The functional wall 2 is depicted with an internal receiving space 19 in which a flap fitting 18 is mounted.

[0078] Completely different flap fittings 18 can also be mounted or arranged inside the receiving space 19. As can be seen from the illustration of Figure 5The functional wall 2 can consist of two wall halves, each with a recess or cutout. Joining the two wall halves together creates the illustrated body 4 with the receiving space 19. The flap fitting 18 can be inserted before or after joining the two wall halves. Other manufacturing processes are also possible.

[0079] Figure 6 shows an embodiment of a functional wall in which the body 4 of the functional wall 2 in turn has a receiving space 19. The body 4 is attached to a room wall 50 via two separate mounting profiles 10 spaced apart from one another in the vertical direction.

[0080] The mounting profile 10 is shown in a perspective view in Figure 7shown. Overall, the mounting profile 10 has an approximately T-shaped configuration, with the crossbar of the "T" forming a mounting flange 12 or two mounting lugs protruding from the web of the "T". The mounting flange 12 has a plurality of mounting holes. The mounting holes 14 are used to attach the mounting profile 10 to the room wall 50. In the illustration according to Figure 7 The mounting holes 14 are designed as elongated holes and arranged vertically. This allows vertical displacement of the mounting profile 10 during assembly.

[0081] From the mounting flange 12, a support unit 30 protrudes perpendicularly from the room wall 50, comprising a pin 32 and, adjoining it outwards, a rotatable eccentric 33 firmly connected to it. The body 4 of the functional wall 2 rests on the eccentric 33 in the receptacle 26. By rotating the eccentric 33, a lateral adjustment and a height adjustment of the functional wall 2 can be achieved. Since two vertically offset mounting profiles are used, namely one in an area at the upper end of the functional wall 2 and one in the lower area of ​​the functional wall 2, an angular adjustment of the functional wall 2 can also be ensured.

[0082] For fastening to the room wall 50, fastening units 20 are again used, as in the embodiment according to the Figures 1-4 was the case.

[0083] Figure 8 shows a top view of the mounting profile 10 of the mounting device 9 according to Figure 7, where the individual elongated holes 14 and the eccentric 33 are visible in a top view. Also shown here in dashed lines are two transversely aligned elongated holes 14, which may be present to enable lateral adjustment on the room wall 50.

[0084] In principle, the mounting profile 10 can be made from the Figures 7 and 8 can be used in a wide variety of embodiments.

[0085] Figure 9 shows a horizontal cross section through a functional wall 2 of another furniture unit 1, whereby the body 4 also has a hollow space as a receiving space 19. Also in the embodiment according to Figure 9 A mounting profile 10 is used, as is the case for example in Figure 7 or 8 The mounting profile 10 in turn includes a pin 32 and an eccentric 33 for easy installation of the functional wall 2.

[0086] Figure 10 shows the enlarged detail "A" from Figure 9, whereby it can be seen that for mounting on the wall, another mounting profile 10 is used, which is designed here as a C-rail 36. The mounting rail 35 or C-rail 36 is screwed to the room wall 50. The mounting profile 10 made of Figure 7 or 8 attached.

[0087] Visible is the pin 32, which protrudes into the body 4 of the functional wall 2. A locking unit 25, designed here as a locking screw, can be screwed in from the side. The locking unit 25 is shown here in the open position. Once screwed in, the locking unit 25 secures the pin 32 and thus the body 4 of the functional wall 2. Accidental removal to the front is no longer possible once secured with the locking unit 25.

[0088] In the Figures 11 and 12a further embodiment is shown, wherein here the functional wall 2 also has a body 4 and a receiving space 19 formed therein. A mounting profile 10 of the mounting device 9 is used for attachment to the room wall 50. The mounting profile 10 here has a T-shaped cross-section. On the mounting flange 12, which extends over the length of the mounting profile 10, an elongated web 31 projects transversely and projects into a corresponding groove in the body 4 of the functional wall 2. To fix the body 4, securing units 25 in the form of screws are inserted laterally from the outside into the body 4 of the functional wall 2 and screwed through corresponding holes in the web 31 of the mounting profile 10.

[0089] Mounting holes 14 and 15 are formed on the mounting profile 10, which are designed here as elongated holes to enable lateral and vertical alignment of the functional wall 2.

[0090] The Figures 13-15 show a further embodiment, in which Figure 13 Here a front view of a functional wall 2 of a furniture unit 1 is shown. Here, as well as Figure 14 shows, transverse grooves are formed in the room wall 50, which run approximately horizontally, but can in principle be aligned in any way. Mounting rails 35 are accommodated in the grooves, which are designed here as C-rails 36. The C-rails 36 are screwed to the room wall 50. For this purpose, holes 13 are provided in each of the C-rails 36. The functional wall 2 is in turn mounted on the mounting profile 10, as shown, for example, in Figures 7 and 8 shown, attached to the C-rail 36 as mounting rail 35.

[0091] The mounting profiles 10 in turn have a support unit 30 projecting transversely from the mounting flange 12, which may, for example, comprise a pin and an eccentric 33.

[0092] This allows for appropriate alignment options for functional wall 2.

[0093] In the Figures 16 and 17 Another embodiment of a functional wall 2 of a furniture unit 1 is shown. The functional wall 2 again has a body 4 and a receiving space 19 for a flap fitting 18 in the body 4.

[0094] A mounting rail 35 is attached to the room wall 50, which is designed here as an H-rail 37. As shown in particular in Figure 18 As can be seen, the distance between the H-rail 37 and the room wall 50 is adjusted by two nuts 39, one of which serves as a lock nut. This results in a distance of 22b between the H-rail 37 and the room wall 50 and a distance of 22a between the H-rail 37 and the cabinet 4. It is possible to compensate for a (local) inclination of the room wall by varying the distances between the H-rail at the top and bottom. This allows for a spatially optimal adjustment.

[0095] As in Figure 19 shows, the H-rail 37 has elongated holes 15, 14 in vertical and horizontal alignment to enable alignment of the H-rail 37 on the room wall in height and in lateral direction.

[0096] Mounting arms 38 are screwed to the top and bottom of the H-rail 37, with the mounting arm 38 in Figure 20is shown. The fastening arms 38 have (here short) vertical and (here longer) horizontally aligned legs. Mounting holes are formed on the vertical legs 6, just as on the horizontal legs. The fastening arms 38 are screwed to the H-rail 37 using the mounting holes 16 on the vertical legs. The fastening arms 38 can be aligned (top and bottom) laterally and vertically using the elongated holes 14 and 15. This results in flexible alignment of the functional wall 2 laterally, vertically, and in terms of the angle of inclination. This allows the furniture unit with the functional walls 2 and 3 to be optimally aligned with one another.

[0097] Overall, the invention provides an advantageous furniture unit that enables flexible design of the interior space or the space between the functional walls 2 and 3 or the cover space behind a flap device 5a or a movable furniture component 5. A wide variety of storage containers in a wide variety of sizes and at different distances can be screwed to the room wall 50. If a uniform surface appearance is desired, the flap device 5a or a movable furniture component 5 can be moved into the closed position 6, resulting in a uniform surface.
