AI Technical Summary
Conventional screw connections in furniture fittings require pre-processing steps like drilling and thread cutting, leading to high dimensional tolerance demands, potential damage from improper torque, and increased contamination due to play between components, while also requiring multiple connections for stability and space for installation, which can result in a less compact and aesthetically compromised design.
The use of nail connections, where a nail is inserted to create a compressive force between the furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable part, eliminating the need for pre-processing and allowing for a secure, firm connection with reduced contamination and a more compact design, by using nails that can be easily inserted with a nail gun and providing a strong hold through plastic deformation.
This solution simplifies the manufacturing and assembly process, reduces the number of connection points, increases the hold strength, and minimizes contamination by compensating for component tolerances and play, resulting in a more stable, compact, and visually appealing arrangement.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Arrangement of a furniture fitting and a furniture body and / or a movable furniture part
[0002] The invention relates to an arrangement comprising at least one furniture fitting, in particular a band arm hinge, flap fitting and / or carcass rail, which is at least partially made of metal, and a furniture carcass and / or a movable furniture part, in particular a furniture flap, which can be movably mounted on a furniture carcass, wherein the at least one furniture fitting is arranged on the furniture carcass and / or on the movable furniture part. The invention further relates to a piece of furniture having at least one such arrangement. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such an arrangement, in particular such a piece of furniture.
[0003] Such an arrangement is already known from the prior art, wherein the at least one furniture fitting is screwed to a corresponding bore of a connection point of the furniture body or movable furniture part via an opening arranged on a fastening surface.
[0004] A disadvantage of the prior art is that screw connections require pre-processing steps such as core drilling, thread cutting, etc. and there are high demands on dimensional tolerances in order to fix the components to be connected relative to one another without stress and / or distortion. If the tightening torque is too high, the furniture body, the movable furniture part and / or the at least one furniture fitting can be damaged or the service life can be reduced. If the tightening torque is insufficient, there is a risk that the at least one furniture fitting will become detached from the furniture body or movable furniture part. In addition, a tensile force transmitted via the screw can cause undesirable play to occur between the component parts involved during assembly, which reduces the visual appearance of the arrangement and increases the tendency towards contamination.This play is also usually deliberately accepted in order to create space for chips that arise during assembly so that the surfaces involved are not scratched. Furthermore, tests have shown that a large number of screw connections are necessary in order to ensure sufficient stability and / or strength of the connection for conventional forces on the at least one furniture fitting during use. Furthermore, screw connections as a type of fixing require installation space (for example in the form of nuts, screw heads or the like), whereby there is a risk of collisions with other components of the arrangement and the fastening of the arrangement can be designed in a less compact manner.
[0005] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide an arrangement and a method which are improved over the prior art and in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated and which are characterized in particular by a secure and firm connection which is easy and quick to produce and / or a reduced number of required connecting means and / or a firm fit of the connected component parts to reduce contamination.
[0006] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.
[0007] According to the invention, it is therefore provided that the at least one furniture fitting is connected to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part at at least one connection point by at least one nail connection via at least one nail on at least one fastening surface of the at least one furniture fitting. This makes it possible for the manufacturing and / or assembly process of the arrangement to be faster and simpler, since no preparatory processing steps are necessary and the at least one nail can be conveniently shot or nailed - for example using a nail gun - into the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part to produce the at least one nail connection.
[0008] The at least one nail connection offers the advantage that, contrary to the tensile force of the screw in the prior art, a compressive force can be imparted to the at least one nail - caused, for example, by a collar during the insertion of the at least one nail - so that a play provided due to component tolerances or for assembly purposes can be compensated and a firm connection can be created, wherein contamination of an optically visible field of view of the arrangement in the region of the at least one furniture fitting in a state of use of the arrangement can be reduced and / or a service life can be increased.
[0009] By means of the at least one nail connection - in particular by means of a collar created by the at least one nail connection between wood, wood-like material or plastic and the metallic material of the at least one furniture fitting - a hold between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable furniture part can be increased. The components to be fixed relative to one another by means of the at least one nail connection lie particularly advantageously on one another at a desired position (preferably in the use state in a vertical direction upwards). Due to the increased hold to be generated by the at least one nail connection on the furniture body and / or movable furniture part, the number of connection points can be reduced.
[0010] The at least one nail connection can be generated by plastic deformation via a displacement of material, whereby a conical penetration of the nail into metal - in particular steel - can be achieved by shooting through the solid material (alternatively, a pre-drilling is generally conceivable) with a firm hold.
[0011] Another positive feature is that standard hardware components can be used, and no drilling or grit is required. Preferably, the at least one nail on the at least one nail connection is arranged substantially flush with the adjacent material and can, if necessary, be inserted completely flush and / or with a slight indentation relative to the surrounding material by means of plastic and / or elastic deformation.
[0012] Preferably, the at least one nail is in the form of tempered steel - particularly preferably tempered, tempered and / or galvanized.
[0013] Preferably, the metallic material of the at least one furniture fitting is in the form of steel. Generally, other metallic materials, such as aluminum, can be used.
[0014] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture, whereby the piece of furniture includes at least one such arrangement.
[0015] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for producing such an arrangement, in particular such a piece of furniture, wherein the following process steps are carried out:
[0016] - at least one furniture fitting, at least partially made of metal, and a furniture body and / or a movable furniture part are provided
[0017] - at least one fastening surface of the at least one furniture fitting is brought into contact with at least one connection point of the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part
[0018] - the at least one furniture fitting is connected to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, preferably via at least one nail gun, by at least one nail connection via at least one nail.
[0019] Pre-drilling on the at least one furniture fitting and / or the furniture body or movable furniture part is not required, and no distance between the at least one furniture fitting and the at least one connection point for receiving chips needs to be taken into account in order to protect the opposite surfaces from scratching.
[0020] The at least one furniture fitting can be designed in regions from materials other than metal or can comprise components made of materials other than metal, wherein particularly preferably at least the at least one fastening surface is made of metal - however, materials other than metal are generally also used on the at least one
[0021] Mounting surface conceivable.
[0022] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
[0023] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one furniture fitting comprises a hinge cup, wherein the at least one nail connection is arranged on the hinge cup, preferably on a fastening web adjacent to the hinge cup, and / or the at least one furniture fitting comprises a mounting plate, wherein the at least one nail connection is arranged on the mounting plate, preferably on a fastening tab of the mounting plate.
[0024] Generally, the hinge cup is designed to be attached to movable furniture parts, and the mounting plate is designed to be fixed to the furniture body. A hinge arm can be the link connecting the mounting plate and the hinge cup. While a nail connection to the hinge arm is also conceivable, this would limit the adjustment mechanisms typically found on the hinge arm (such as lateral, depth, and / or height adjustment).
[0025] Although it is possible to arrange the nail connection inside the hinge cup, a nail connection outside the hinge cup on a fastening web, preferably projecting transversely from the hinge cup, or a plurality of fastening webs is preferred.
[0026] Particularly preferably, the fastening tabs protrude transversely from the mounting plate in order to facilitate the insertion of the nails and / or to reduce the risk of collision with adjacent furniture fittings.
[0027] The number and / or orientation of fastening webs, fastening tabs, and fastening surfaces is generally arbitrary. Alternatively, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one furniture fitting is designed in the form of a part of a guide system with a fastening leg of a profile of the guide system, wherein the at least one nail connection is arranged on the fastening leg.
[0028] The fastening leg - generally provided as an integral part of the carcass rail - can comprise at least one opening (optionally having a thread), at least one recess and / or at least one grain in order to facilitate proper positioning of the nail connections and / or to be able to provide additional screw connections for additional fixation or increased stability, although this is generally not absolutely necessary.
[0029] Advantageously, it is provided that the at least one fastening surface is designed as a deep-drawn or embossed region of the profile, wherein in general a flap fitting or a band arm hinge can also have a deep-drawn or embossed fastening surface - for example on the mounting plate, preferably the fastening tab, and / or on the hinge cup, preferably the fastening web.
[0030] It has proven advantageous that the at least one fastening surface is designed as a thinned area of the profile, wherein it is preferably provided that the thinned area is formed during the profiling of the part of the
[0031] guidance system is manufactured.
[0032] By locally reducing the material thickness, the amount of force required to shoot the nail through the fastening surface (generally made of metal) can be reduced. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one furniture fitting comprises a housing with a housing plate, wherein the at least one nail connection is arranged on the housing plate, preferably on a tab of the housing plate, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one furniture fitting comprises a mechanical lever device and / or an electrical drive device.
[0033] The housing plate can be a component separate from the housing or an integral or materially bonded part of the housing.
[0034] The number and / or orientation of tabs is generally arbitrary and can be flexibly adapted to the requirements of the furniture fitting.
[0035] An advantageous variant consists in that the at least one furniture fitting comprises an actuating arm, wherein the at least one fastening surface is arranged on an end of the housing facing away from the actuating arm and / or on at least one side surface of the housing adjacent to the actuating arm.
[0036] This means that torques and tensile or compressive loads can be absorbed particularly effectively via at least one nail connection.
[0037] It is particularly preferred that the at least one nail connection is provided via at least one closed fastening surface and / or at least one flat fastening surface of the at least one furniture fitting and / or at least one closed connection point of the furniture body and / or the movable
[0038] furniture part is inserted. A closed and / or flat fastening surface and / or connection point can be produced particularly efficiently, whereby a flat fit of the at least one furniture fitting is promoted before the insertion of the at least one nail, so that a particularly firm fixation of the at least one furniture fitting can be ensured.
[0039] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one fastening surface has a thickness which is reduced compared to a material thickness of an adjacent region of the at least one furniture fitting and / or a base material of the at least one furniture fitting.
[0040] This can reduce the amount of force required to insert at least one nail connection.
[0041] It has proven advantageous for the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part to be made of wood, wood-like material, or plastic. For example, the wood-like material includes cardboard, chipboard, and a honeycomb panel, with a honeycomb structure made of cardboard, for example, and the honeycomb structure being glued and / or bonded to a cover layer—preferably made of wood, plastic, paper, or metal. A cover layer can generally be provided, but this is not required.
[0042] In general, however, other materials suitable for nail connections are also conceivable.
[0043] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the at least one nail has a longitudinal dimension of between 13 mm and 20 mm, preferably between 14 mm and 16 mm. This length ensures secure fixation, preventing unwanted perforations or dents.
[0044] Preferably, a nail shaft diameter is between 1 mm and 3 mm, particularly preferably between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm.
[0045] Preferably the nail shaft tip is designed ballistically.
[0046] In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one nail has a nail shaft and a nail head, preferably spaced from the nail shaft by a groove, wherein the nail head is rectangular or elliptical, preferably circular, wherein it is preferably provided that the nail shaft and / or the nail head is formed from hardened steel and / or the nail head has a nail head diameter between 2.5 mm and 5.5 mm, particularly preferably between 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm.
[0047] With an elliptical or circular nail head, the risk of injury from sharp edges and / or manufacturing-related burrs is reduced. Hardened steel nails can prevent undesirable deformation when penetrating metal. The nail head diameter can keep elastic and / or plastic deformation of the components to be joined within a desired range, enhancing the visual appearance of the assembly and / or creating a substantially flush finish between the nail head and the surrounding material.
[0048] Nail head diameters between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm - preferably between 1.7 mm and 2.2 mm - are also applicable. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the nail head comprises at least one notch, preferably in the form of an embossing and / or in the form of two notches oriented orthogonally to one another and / or designed as a hexagon socket or Torx contour, for dismantling the at least one nail from the at least one furniture fitting, preferably using a screwdriver.
[0049] Particularly preferably, the at least one notch is created on the nail head during a setting process or by shooting (or generally by inserting the nail, such as by hammering) using a nail gun. Generally, the nail head is sufficiently soft compared to the nail shank to create the at least one notch in the nail during the creation of the at least one nail connection. This allows the nail to be flexibly adapted to a desired removal device during the manufacturing process without any pre-processing.
[0050] The at least one notch can also comprise other contours suitable for disassembly - such as hexagon socket contour, Torx contour, Phillips screwdriver contour, slotted screwdriver contour, Allen contour or the like.
[0051] It is preferably provided that the nail shaft comprises at least one profiling, preferably designed as a knurling and / or in the form of a thread, for dismantling the at least one nail from the at least one furniture fitting, preferably using a screwdriver.
[0052] Despite the at least one profile, the nail can be nailed or shot into the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or the movable furniture part (without rotation). In the current state of the art, the screw must be screwed in using the thread. Unscrewing the nail, similar to a screw, is nevertheless possible using the at least one profile.
[0053] Particularly preferably, the component parts are detachably connected to one another via the at least one nail connection by means of the at least one notch and / or the at least one profiling in order to maintain this advantage of possible disassembly without pliers as in the case of the conventional screw connection and at the same time to retain the positive properties of the at least one nail connection.
[0054] It is particularly preferably provided that the at least one furniture fitting on the at least one fastening surface and / or the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part at the at least one connection point is designed to be opening-free and / or trough-free at least in the region of the at least one nail connection, preferably in front of a connection by the at least one nail and / or away from a connection opening generated by the at least one nail.
[0055] By introducing at least one nail connection, it is possible to leave the components to be connected without openings, such as holes, and / or depressions, such as grains or similar indentations, in the area of the at least one connection point and the at least one fastening surface for the nail connection. This eliminates such preparatory process steps, allowing the production chain to be designed more efficiently and / or simply.
[0056] According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that in the region of the at least one connection point and / or in the region of the at least one fastening surface, a collar is formed between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part via the at least one nail connection, wherein the at least one furniture fitting is pressed onto the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, wherein it is preferably provided that in a use state of the arrangement, the at least one furniture fitting is pushed up in the vertical direction by the collar and / or is pressed relative to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part.
[0057] In this context, the technical term "collaring" refers to the plastic deformation of metal into another material (during the insertion of the nail connection) in order to create the connection between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable furniture part. In general, with the at least one collaring, the metallic material of the at least one fastening surface is pressed into the material of the furniture by the at least one nail via plastic deformation (or pressed into an existing opening).
[0058] By means of the at least one collar, a particularly strong connection can be ensured, wherein a frictional connection can be generated along a connection opening and / or a positive connection can be generated orthogonally to the connection opening, preferably by means of a plastic and / or elastic pressing of metal material of the at least one furniture fitting onto the respective material of the furniture body or movable furniture part.
[0059] According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that by means of the at least one nail connection, preferably by means of a collar which may be present, a play of the at least one furniture fitting in the arrangement on the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, preferably in the vertical direction upwards, can be or is compensated for by pressure or tension.
[0060] By means of the at least one nail connection and, particularly effectively, by means of at least one collar, manufacturing-related component tolerances and / or play provided to simplify assembly—for example, by pressing via the at least one nail connection—can be compensated. If there is no free space between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable furniture part, soiling of the arrangement can be reduced. In general, however, gaps can alternatively or additionally be covered by cover elements in order to reduce soiling and / or enhance an aesthetic appearance.
[0061] It is preferably provided that the at least one nail is sunk into the at least one fastening surface and / or the at least one fastening surface is designed in such a way that the at least one nail is arranged completely below the at least one fastening surface.
[0062] If the at least one nail or nail head is arranged below the at least one fastening surface (in particular arranged completely lower than the at least one associated fastening surface), a collision with the at least one nail connection can be prevented, more installation space can be provided, the risk of injury can be reduced and / or an overall visual impression can be enhanced. In general, alternatively or additionally, at least one fastening surface can be provided which is lower or countersunk compared to the adjacent area, so that the at least one nail does not protrude. It can preferably be provided that the at least one nail is removed from the arrangement, preferably by means of a screwdriver, via at least one notch arranged on a nail head and / or via at least one profiling arranged on a nail shank.
[0063] This allows the at least one furniture fitting to be disassembled after installation despite the at least one nail connection, for example, to perform maintenance or repair work, thereby increasing the service life of the assembly. With nail connections, the nail usually has to be laboriously removed using pliers. However, the at least one notch and / or the at least one profile (such as a thread that can be shot into the material) allows for user-friendly disassembly using a screwdriver.
[0064] It has proven advantageous that in a preparatory method step immediately before the introduction of the at least one nail connection, the at least one furniture fitting and / or the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part is provided without openings and / or without recesses at least in the region of the at least one nail connection, preferably before a connection by the at least one nail and / or away from a connection opening to be generated via the at least one nail.
[0065] According to a preferred variant of the invention, it can be provided that in the course of introducing the at least one nail connection in the region of the at least one connection point, a collar is formed between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part via the at least one nail connection, wherein the at least one furniture fitting is pressed onto the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one furniture fitting is pushed up in a use state of the arrangement by the collar in the vertical direction relative to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part and / or pressed relative to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part.
[0066] It is preferably provided that by means of the at least one nail connection, preferably by means of a collar which may be present, a play between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part is compensated, preferably in a vertical direction upwards, by pressure or by tension on the at least one furniture fitting.
[0067] Advantageously, it can be provided that at least one notch is made in a nail head of the at least one nail during the introduction of the at least one nail connection, preferably using a nail gun.
