Description

[0001] The invention relates to a piece of furniture with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Fittings for guiding movable furniture parts are currently attached to the furniture frame using self-tapping wood screws. However, driving these screws into the furniture frame significantly weakens its structure. Furthermore, if the screws are tightened incorrectly, material can be torn out of the furniture frame.

[0003] WO 2019 / 134936 A1 shows a piece of furniture of the type mentioned above and discloses a side panel of a furniture carcass with an integrated mounting element for receiving a fitting for movable furniture parts. The mounting element has a base and side sections projecting from the base on at least two sides, the mounting element being inserted into a recess in the side panel. At least the base of the mounting element is connected to a mating surface of the recess by a force-fit or material-fit connection. The mounting element has mounting bolts for attaching the fitting. For this purpose, the fitting is placed onto the mounting bolts via through holes and secured with screws.

[0004] WO 2017 / 059471 A1 shows a furniture fitting with a flange for mounting on a furniture component. A fastening device serves to attach the furniture fitting to the furniture component by means of the flange. The fastening device has two fastening elements that can be inserted into a cylindrical bore in the furniture component, as well as at least one rotatably mounted locking element.

[0005] The two fastening elements are spread apart relative to each other and relative to the flange by rotating the locking element, so that both fastening elements are locked in the opening.

[0006] US 3 224 035 A discloses a furniture hinge and a metallic threaded element integrated into the furniture.

[0007] The present invention is based on the objective of providing a piece of furniture that enables a permanently secure mounting of the fitting on the furniture body.

[0008] The problem is solved by a piece of furniture with the features of claim 1.

[0009] The fitting housing is thus clamped to a side wall of the furniture body via the screw element.

[0010] In one possible embodiment, the side wall can include a recess in which the fitting housing is inserted.

[0011] The fitting housing is located on an inside side of the furniture body.

[0012] The fitting housing has a through-hole. The mating thread is integrated into the side wall, with a threaded element being inserted into the side wall. The screw element extends through the through-hole and engages with its thread in the mating thread of the threaded element. With a second end, opposite the first end, the screw element is supported against the fitting housing.

[0013] The threaded element is arranged in a hole or recess in the side wall.

[0014] The threaded element is positioned such that it penetrates the inner surface of the side wall and protrudes from the inner surface of the side wall. In other words, the threaded element has a section that is located outside the opening or recess and protrudes from the side wall.

[0015] Possible embodiments of a piece of furniture according to the invention are explained below with reference to the figure drawings. These show: Figure 1: a perspective view of a piece of furniture; Figure 2: a cross-section through the side wall of the furniture made of Figure 1 in a non-inventive embodiment; Figure 3 a view analogous to Figure 2 for a piece of furniture according to the invention in a first embodiment according to the invention; and Figure 4 a view analogous to Figure 2for a piece of furniture according to the invention in a second embodiment according to the invention.

[0016] In the Figure 1 and 2 The following section describes a furniture 1. The furniture 1 comprises a cabinet 2 with two side walls 3, which are connected to each other via a top and bottom panel. The cabinet 2 can be closed by a folding flap 8. The flap 8 is connected to the cabinet 2 via a fitting 9. The fitting 9 includes a pivot arm 10, which is pivotally mounted on a fitting housing 11 and is rigidly connected to a section of the flap 8.

[0017] The fitting housing 11 is clamped to the side wall 3 by means of four screw elements 14 in the form of countersunk screws. It is understood that other types of screws can also be used for all embodiments described here, for example, screws with hexagonal, trumpet, or cylindrical heads. The screws can, in particular, have metric threads. Two of the four screw elements 14 lie in the cross-sectional plane of the Figure 2 The fitting housing 11 rests on an inner side 4 of the side wall 3, which points towards the interior of the furniture body 2.

[0018] The fitting housing 11 has openings in the form of through-holes 12, through which one of the screw elements 14 extends. On the side facing away from the side wall, the fitting housing 11 has a seat for the countersunk head of the screw elements 14 at the end of each through-hole 12, so that the countersunk heads of the screw elements 14 are arranged flush with the fitting housing 11. The screw element 14, or rather the countersunk head, is thus supported by the fitting housing 11.

[0019] The screw elements 14 each have a thread 15 at the end opposite the countersunk head, which engages in a mating thread 17 in the side wall 3.

[0020] The side wall 3 has a recess 6 in the form of a through-hole into which a threaded element 16 is inserted. In this case, the threaded element 16 is designed as a threaded sleeve that is pressed or hammered into the recess 16. Therefore, the threaded element can have a smooth outer contour.

[0021] The threaded element 16 is cylindrical and has a length that essentially corresponds to the width of the side wall 3 in cross-section or the thickness of the side wall 3. The threaded element 16 is completely located within the recess 6. The threaded element 16 is flush with the inner surface 4 of the side wall 3 or has a gap from the inner surface 4 of the side wall 3. In other words, the threaded element 16 is positioned without any protrusion from the inner surface 4.

[0022] The threaded element 16 has a metallic internal thread as a mating thread 17. The thread 15 of the screw element 14, designed as a metallic external thread, engages in the metallic internal thread of the threaded element 16.

[0023] In Figure 3 Figure 1 shows a cross-section through a side wall of a piece of furniture 1 according to the invention in a first embodiment. The first embodiment of the furniture 1 differs from the embodiment according to Figure 2. Figure 2 firstly, by the fact that the side wall 3 has a recess 7 on the inside 4 into which the fitting 9 is inserted, and secondly, by the fact that the threaded element 16 protrudes from the inside 4 of the side wall 3 into the fitting housing 11.

[0024] Therefore, with regard to the similarities between the two embodiments, reference is made to the explanations of the embodiment according to Figure 2Reference is made. Identical or similar components are designated with the same reference symbols.

[0025] The threaded element 16 is seated in a recess 6 in the side wall 3, which is designed as a through-hole. The threaded element 16 has a length that is greater than the thickness of the side wall 3 in the region of the recess 6. The threaded element 16 is positioned in the recess 6 such that it is flush with the outer surface 5 of the side wall 3 and projects out from the inner surface 4 of the side wall 3. In other words, the threaded element 16 penetrates the inner surface 4 of the side wall 3. The threaded element 16 includes a fitting section 18 that projects out from the side wall 3 in the direction of the fitting 9.

[0026] The fitting housing 11 includes a fitting recess 19 into which the fitting section 18 of the threaded element 16 projects. The fitting recess 19 and the fitting section 18 can be designed such that there is a slight clearance fit between them.

[0027] The fitting recess 19 is arranged coaxially with the through-opening 12 and terminates at an annular shoulder. The fitting section 18 has a length that is less than the length of the fitting recess 19. As a result, the fitting housing 11 rests on the inside 4 of the side wall 3 and is thus directly clamped to it.

[0028] In Figure 3Only one screw element 14 or one threaded element 16 lies in the cross-sectional plane shown. It is understood that the fitting 9 can be attached or clamped to the side wall 3 with any number of screw elements 14. In particular, one, two, three, four, or any other integer number of screw elements can be used.

[0029] In Figure 4 Figure 1 shows a cross-section through a side wall of a piece of furniture 1 according to the invention in a second embodiment. The second embodiment of the furniture 1 differs from the first embodiment in that, firstly, the length of the fitting section 18 of the threaded element 16 is greater than the length of the fitting recess 19 of the fitting housing 11, and secondly, in that a second threaded element 16' is arranged in a recess 6' designed as a blind hole.

[0030] Therefore, regarding the similarities between the two embodiments, reference is made to the explanations of the previously described embodiments. Identical or similar components are designated with the same reference numerals.

[0031] The length of the fitting section 18 of the threaded element 16 is greater than the length of the fitting recess 19 of the fitting housing 11. This causes the fitting housing 11 to rest with its annular shoulder on the fitting section 18 of the threaded element 16. The fitting 9 is thus indirectly clamped to the side wall 3 via the threaded element 16. A gap is formed between the fitting housing 11 and the inner surface 4 of the side wall 3.

[0032] In the section plane of the Figure 4A second threaded element 16' is shown, arranged in a recess 6' designed as a blind hole. The second threaded element 16' comprises a fitting section 18' that projects from the inside 4 of the side wall 3 and into a second fitting recess 19' of the fitting housing 11. The length of the second threaded element 16' is chosen such that the length of the fitting section 18 of the first threaded element 16 is equal to the length of the fitting section 18' of the second threaded element 16'. The length of the first fitting recess 19 and the length of the second fitting recess 19' are identical. Therefore, the fitting housing 11 rests on the second threaded element 16 with its annular shoulder in the area of ​​the second fitting recess 19'. Reference symbol list
