Description

[0001] Arrangement for assembling a carcass construction, carcass construction comprising such an arrangement and method for assembling a carcass construction

[0002] The present invention relates to an arrangement for assembling a carcass construction, in particular for a base cabinet, a carcass construction comprising such an arrangement, and a method for assembling a carcass construction.

[0003] The following illustrates the current state of the art using a base cabinet as an example. The same applies to cabinet constructions in general.

[0004] It is known from the prior art to design base cabinets from several surface elements, whereby the surface elements form the side walls, the base, the rear wall, the cover plate and, if necessary, intermediate elements.

[0005] In known prior art designs, these surface elements are connected to one another via fastening elements. Such fastening elements are usually angle brackets that are screwed into the surface elements to connect them.

[0006] Other designs of connecting elements that are manufactured into the surface elements are also well known.

[0007] However, in corresponding designs, the fastening elements for connecting the individual surface elements are always screwed, incorporated, and / or inserted into the surface elements themselves, which requires the surface elements to have sufficient rigidity not only to withstand environmental stresses but also to be able to accommodate the fastening elements. Furthermore, these incorporated fastening elements, which are usually screwed into the surface elements, form weak points. Under heavy load, the cross-section of the surface elements is weakened at the point where the fastening elements are screwed in or incorporated, and this usually leads to breakage or damage at this point (if the surface element is inadequately designed and solid).

[0008] A further disadvantage is that a considerable amount of energy and time must be spent during production and assembly to machine the appropriate mounting holes and openings into the surface elements and / or to measure and / or provide positions for the mounting of the fastening elements.

[0009] Furthermore, each individual surface element must be specifically prepared for later use and must also be assigned to the later area of ​​use, which subsequently leads to increased logistical effort.

[0010] In summary, it can be stated that for a base cabinet, individual surface elements must be prepared quite specifically for later assembly, individually processed logistically for transport to the area of ​​use, and at the site of use, they must be positioned in a targeted manner, individually in relation to the other surface elements, and connected to one another using the fastening elements.

[0011] This gives rise to the desire for a simpler way of producing a base cabinet, which not only reduces the manufacturing effort, but also minimizes the logistical challenge and, if necessary, even makes the assembly work easier.

[0012] The object of the present invention is therefore to implement an arrangement for assembling a carcass construction, a carcass construction and a method for assembling a carcass construction, with the aid of which the manufacturing effort can be reduced and / or the assembly work can be facilitated or reduced and / or the logistics work for transport can be reduced and / or the environmental aspect can be improved by reducing transport masses or reducing the materials required.

[0013] This object is achieved in the course of the invention by an arrangement for assembling a carcass construction having the features of claim 1, a carcass construction which is formed from at least one such arrangement having the features of claim 17, and a method for assembling a carcass construction having the features of claim 20.

[0014] According to the invention, it is provided that an arrangement for assembling a carcass construction, in particular a base cabinet, has at least four vertical uprights, each of which comprises a first fastening device for tool-free assembly of at least one first surface element parallel to the vertical upright and at least one second fastening device for tool-free assembly of at least one second surface element transverse to the vertical upright.

[0015] By providing appropriate vertical supports, which enable the panel elements to be assembled without tools, it is possible to connect panel elements to one another via the vertical supports and their fastening devices without the need for separate holes or receiving openings.

[0016] Accordingly, the surface elements can be designed in such a way that they have smaller cross-sectional areas, since these cross-sectional areas are no longer weakened by holes and / or openings for fastening.

[0017] The reduction in the size of the surface elements has the advantage that less material is required for the surface elements, which also leads to a transport advantage, since less mass has to be transported, resulting in a significant improvement in the environmental and ecological aspects overall.

[0018] On the other hand, it is no longer necessary to design the surface elements with openings and / or holes or other elements for fastening, which reduces the manufacturing effort for the prefabrication of the surface elements to a minimum (cutting).

[0019] Furthermore, an improvement has been made in that surface elements no longer need to be precisely assigned to their subsequent use. For example, a surface element no longer needs to be assigned to a left or right side of the carcass construction, as these components can be manufactured identically, which also reduces the logistical effort required for transport, production, and assembly.

[0020] Furthermore, it is possible to implement a tool-free assembly via the vertical supports, which makes the

[0021] This reduces assembly effort and complexity. The vertical supports also stiffen the cabinet structure, allowing for a further reduction in material requirements and the dimensions of the panel elements.

[0022] Furthermore, the possibility is created to

[0023] Vertical elements already require a very high level of prefabrication.

[0024] For example, the vertical elements - as will be described in more detail later - can be equipped with elements such as electrical shafts, receiving elements for fittings or base feet, electrification or fastening points for panels, which do not have to be additionally mounted during installation, thus simplifying the installation considerably.

[0025] Furthermore, by reducing the dimensions of the surface elements, storage space can be gained, increasing the interior of the cabinet structure while maintaining the same external dimensions. In other words, space can be used more efficiently, thus creating more storage space.

[0091] Vertical support to a cover element.

[0092] Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an inventive

[0093] Body construction 1, wherein in this embodiment the body construction 1 is designed as a base cabinet.

[0094] The body construction 1 comprises four vertical uprights 2, which essentially form the vertical edges of a cuboid.

[0095] The vertical supports 2 connect the first surface elements 5, whereby the carcass construction 1 is implemented.

[0096] The worktop 28 is placed above the carcass construction 1.

[0097] Compared to the floor, the body construction 1 is supported on

[0098] Stand feet 29, which are arranged at a lower end of the vertical supports 2.

[0099] Six drawers 10 are arranged in the interior of the body construction via pull-out guides 9, which are arranged on the vertical supports. These drawers can be pulled out relative to the body construction 1 by means of the pull-out guides 9. Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of the embodiment of Fig. 1.

[0100] Thus, it can be seen from Fig. 2 that the first surface elements 5, which are arranged parallel to the vertical uprights 2, are connected to the vertical uprights 2 via the second fastening devices 4.

[0101] A second surface element 6, which is arranged substantially transversely to the vertical uprights 2, is supported by the vertical uprights 2 via the first fastening device 3.

[0102] In addition, two vertical uprights 2 are connected to each other via the further second fastening devices 4 with connected cross members 17 in order to increase the stability of the body construction 1.

[0103] Fig. 3 shows a connection of two vertical uprights 2 with a first surface element 5 in isolation, wherein the exact fastening of the first surface element 5 to the vertical uprights 2 with the aid of the second fastening devices 4 will be explained in detail later.

[0104] Thus, it can be seen from Fig. 3 that the vertical supports 2 are composed of two sections 22, 23, whereby the two sections 22, 23 can be connected to each other without tools.

[0105] These vertical uprights 2 further comprise a second fastening device 4 at a first end 20 and an opposite second end 21, wherein the two second fastening devices 4 are designed with different structural shapes from one another.

[0106] In addition, the second fastening devices 4 arranged at the ends 20, 21 can be connected to the vertical support 2 without tools via plug connections, as will be explained in more detail in the following figure.

[0107] The second fastening device 4 arranged at the second end 21 is further connected to the base 29.

[0108] Fig. 4 shows an exploded view of a vertical upright 2, from which it can be seen in greater detail that the vertical upright 2 is formed by the two sections 22, 23, which are connected to one another along the longitudinal axis of the vertical upright 2 by means of a plug-in system 32.

[0109] By appropriately designing the vertical upright 2 from several sections 22, 23, a system can be implemented which allows an easy, modular extension of the vertical uprights 2 and thus of the carcass construction 1, whereby, depending on the required length of the vertical uprights 2, the vertical uprights 2 can be lengthened or shortened by adding or deleting a section 22, 23.

[0110] The plug-in system 32, which is shown in detail in Fig. 4, is designed such that protruding pins of the lower section 22 engage in a corresponding recess in the upper section 23, thereby ensuring positioning and alignment along the longitudinal extent of the vertical support 2. This plug-in system 32 can be designed, using appropriate dimensional tolerances (e.g., a press fit), such that the sections 22, 23 can be connected to one another by means of the insertion process and can also be held in place by the plug-in system 32.

[0111] Alternatively, it can also be provided that in the area of ​​the plug-in system 32, the first section 22 and the second section 23 are connected to one another via a connecting bolt or a screw connection.

[0112] A corresponding clamp connection is also quite conceivable.

[0113] However, it is also conceivable that the first section 22 is only inserted into the second section 23 and then the position of the sections 22, 23 to one another is secured by connecting the vertical support 2 with the aid of the first fastening device 3 to a first surface element 5 (such a connection will be explained in more detail in the course of the following figures).

[0114] The second fastening device 4, which is arranged at the lower end of the section 22, is also held on the section 22 via a corresponding plug-in system 32.

[0115] The second fastening device 4 (shown in greater detail in Fig. 5) comprises a base body 30.

[0116] Fig. 5 shows the second fastening device 4 in detail in an exploded view.

[0117] The base 29 is also mounted on this base body 30. Strictly speaking, the base 29 is designed by its mounting in the base body 30 in such a way that the base 29 can be moved relative to the base body 30 via an adjustment element 33 for variable height adjustment.

[0118] This height adjustment of the base 29 can be carried out, for example, via the adjustment element 33, whereby the adjustment element 33 can be rotated, for example, using a screwdriver or the like, whereby in turn a change in the relative position of the base 29 to the base body 30 can be implemented, for example, via a gear-rack system.

[0119] The second fastening device 4 is also mounted on the base body 30.

[0120] This fastening device 4 comprises an engagement element 16, which engagement element 16 is prestressed by the spring element 15 relative to a second surface element 6, so that the engagement element 16 - more precisely the hooks of the engagement element 16 - as soon as the second surface element 6 is positioned on the second fastening device 4, are pressed into the second surface element 6 via the spring element 15 for a positive connection, whereby these hooks of the engagement element 16 are anchored in the second surface element 6.

[0121] In order to be able to release this positive connection of the engagement element 16 and the second surface element 6 again, the engagement element 16 can be released via the actuating element 31, whereby a rotational movement of the actuating element 31 designed as a lever around the rotation bearing 34 on the

[0122] Base body 30, the spring element 15 is tensioned, whereby the engagement element 16 is released or withdrawn from the second surface element 6.

[0123] Fig. 6 shows an arrangement of the body construction 1 from the vertical supports 2 and the first surface elements 5, wherein a connection between the first surface elements 5 and the

[0124] Vertical supports 2 via the first fastening devices 3.

[0125] These first fastening devices 3 can be seen in greater detail in Figures 7 and 8, wherein Figure 7 shows a state of the vertical upright 2 before the first surface elements 5 are inserted and Figure 8 shows a state of the vertical upright 2 in which the vertical upright 2 is connected to the first surface elements 5 via the first fastening devices 3.

[0126] In Figures 7 and 8 it can be seen that the vertical upright 2 has two first fastening devices 3 so that the vertical upright 2 can be connected to two first surface elements 5 or can connect these two first surface elements 5 to one another.

[0127] The first fastening devices 3 each have a groove 11 along the longitudinal extent of the vertical upright 2, wherein the first surface element 5 can be positioned in the groove 11 parallel to the vertical upright 2.

[0128] Furthermore, the retaining elements 12 of the first fastening device 3 are arranged in the groove 11 of the vertical uprights 2. These retaining elements 12 form a positive connection with the first surface elements 5 through their barb geometry 13 (explained in more detail in the following figures) in order to hold the first surface elements 5 in the grooves 11.

[0129] In this exemplary embodiment, the retaining elements 12 are elastically deformed when the first surface elements 5 are inserted in order to be able to position the surface element 5 in the groove 11, whereby, however, this elastic deformation of the retaining elements 12 causes the barb geometry 13 to be pressed into the first surface elements 5 and thus to position and / or hold the surface elements 5 relative to the vertical posts 2 in the groove 11.

[0130] A corresponding design and positioning of the retaining elements 12 with their barb geometry relative to a vertical post 2 - more precisely: in the groove 11 of the vertical post 2 - is shown in Fig. 9.

[0131] Fig. 10 shows a connection between the vertical supports 2 and a second surface element 6.

[0132] It can be seen in Fig. 10 that first the vertical uprights 2 were connected to the first surface elements 5 via the first fastening devices 3 and now this basic construction is connected to the second surface element 6 via the vertical uprights 2.

[0133] To do this, as indicated by the arrows, the two outer freestanding vertical uprights 2 and the first surface elements 5 connected to them are first pulled apart, which is made possible by the still existing, somewhat fragile basic structure. This pulling apart allows the second surface element 6 to be inserted from the front, which also enables the second surface element 6 to be positioned on the four vertical uprights 2 and the second fastening devices 4 connected to them.

[0134] By contacting the second surface element 6 with the second fastening devices 4 (which is already known from the previous figures), the second surface element 6 is connected to the vertical uprights 2 by the engagement elements 16 engaging in the second surface element 6.

[0135] By this contacting of the vertical uprights 2 or the second fastening devices 4 with the second surface element 6, the previously somewhat fragile construction is stabilized, whereby a stable body construction 1 is implemented.

[0136] Figures 11 and 12 show two different embodiments of the detailed view B indicated in Fig. 10, wherein the front edge of the second surface element 6 can be covered by a cover element (see Fig. 11) or (see Fig. 12) can stand freely towards the front.

[0137] Fig. 13 shows an alternative procedure to Fig. 10.

[0138] This figure shows an embodiment in which a first surface element 5 is initially connected to a vertical support 2. Directly following this process step, the second surface element 6 is connected to the first surface element 5 via the second fastening device 4 of the vertical support 2. Fig. 14 shows various details of the body construction 1.

[0139] It can be seen that the second fastening devices 4 for connection to the cross member 17 are further connected to positioning elements 14.

[0140] These positioning elements 14 are designed to position the first surface elements 5 by pressing the surface elements 5 downwards by the positioning elements 14 designed as leaf spring elements, so that the first surface elements 5 are brought into connection with the second surface element 6 or - more precisely: are pressed and / or prestressed against the second surface element 6.

[0141] It can be provided that the positioning element(s) 14 is formed by plastic springs injection-molded onto the second fastening device 4.

[0142] Furthermore, it can be seen that two of the at least four vertical uprights 2 each have at least one first interface 7 for fastening at least one furniture fitting - more precisely: the pull-out guide 9 - and the other two of the four vertical uprights 2 each have at least one second interface 8 for fastening the furniture fitting - the pull-out guide 9 -, wherein the first interface 7 and the second interface 8 are designed differently - more precisely: the first interface 7 and the second interface 8 are arranged rotated essentially by 90° to one another.

[0143] The detailed view C indicated by Fig. 14 is represented by the

[0144] Figures 15 to 17 show a more detailed design of the second fastening device 4 for fastening the cross member 17.

[0145] Fig. 15 shows a view of the second fastening device 4 in interaction with the cross member 17.

[0146] Fig. 17 shows a sectional view of Fig. 15 and Fig. 16 shows the view 0 without cross member 17.

[0147] It can be seen that the second fastening device 4 has a clamping device 18 for tool-free fastening of the cross member 17.

[0148] This clamping device 18 has an eccentrically mounted lever 19, wherein the holding structure 36 can be moved by a pivoting movement of the eccentrically mounted lever 19.

[0149] By this movement of the holding structure 36, the holding structure 36 provided with the elevations can be brought towards the surface of the cross member 17 or moved away from it, whereby the holding structure 36 can exert a clamping force on the cross member 17 with an opposite, corresponding surface of the fastening device in order to secure the position of the cross member 17 relative to the second fastening device 4.

[0150] The surface corresponding to the holding device 36 can also be designed with a holding structure having elevations and depressions. Fig. 18 shows the detailed view B indicated in Fig. 14, wherein the already known base 29 is again visible. However, in contrast to the previous figures, the embodiment of Fig. 18 has a sealing lip 35 arranged on an end face of the vertical supports 2.

[0151] This sealing lip 35 can be designed to subsequently seal the drawers 10 adjacent to the carcass construction 1.

[0152] In this exemplary embodiment, the sealing lip 35 can be attached to the vertical support 2, for example, via an adhesive connection, or it can also be provided that the vertical support 2 has a corresponding groove into which the sealing lip 35 is inserted.

[0153] Fig. 19 shows a connection between the vertical supports 2 and the extension guides 9.

[0154] In order to accommodate the pull-out guides 9, the vertical supports 2 have interfaces 7, 8, as already shown in Fig. 14.

[0155] The pull-out guides 9 (see the detailed view of Fig. 20) are designed with connecting elements 27 in order to establish a corresponding connection with the interfaces 7, 8.

[0156] As indicated by the arrows in Fig. 19, in a first step, the pull-out guide 9 is inserted with its rear connecting element 37 into the second interface 8 and moved forward, whereby the connecting element 37 is anchored in the second interface 8. In a further step, the front connecting element 37 is inserted into the first interface 7 and anchored downwards, resulting in an exact positioning of the pull-out guide 9 relative to the vertical upright 2 and thus the carcass construction 1.

[0157] In addition, the pull-out guide 9 has a safety element 38, which is implemented by a partially elastic construction.

[0158] This partially elastic construction of the securing element 38 engages in the upper geometry of the first interface 7 (see Fig. 14) after the front connecting element 37 has snapped into the first interface 7, whereby the pull-out guide 9 - more precisely: the front connecting element 37 - is anchored in the first interface 7 in such a way that an upward movement is prevented, unless the securing element 38 is intentionally pulled out of the first interface 7 again.

[0159] Thus, during use and operation of the carcass construction 1, the securing element 38 can ensure that the position of the pull-out guide 9 on the vertical supports 2 is not changed by forces generated by the drawers 10, thereby ensuring smooth operation of the pull-out guide 9.

[0160] Furthermore, the fastening openings 40 are provided on the pull-out guide 9.

[0161] These fastening openings 40 can alternatively or additionally be used to connect the pull-out guide 9 by fastening means (for example a screw connection) to a
