Description

[0001] drawer

[0002] The present invention relates to a drawer with a base and side frames, each having an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall and outer wall extend below the base and form a channel for receiving a locking element, wherein the locking element can be releasably secured to a rail of a pull-out guide and the inner wall or outer wall has an outer visible surface on which a plate-shaped marking is arranged.

[0003] DE 20 2016 107 059 U1 discloses a drawer wall in which a cover is mounted on a visible surface of a wall. The cover is fixed to the wall via a fastening section and is slipped onto it from below. A disadvantage of this type of fastening is that the holding forces of the fastening section are low, since the wave-shaped fastening section only encompasses the thin wall. For manufacturing reasons, the position of the fastening section in the wall is subject to a large tolerance, which can lead to an uneven fit of the fastening section and even to the cover falling off. EP 3 050 464 also shows a similar type of fastening.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a drawer with a side frame which enables an improved fastening of a marking to a visible surface of a wall.

[0005] This object is achieved with a drawer having the features of claim 1.

[0006] In the drawer according to the invention with a side frame, the plate-shaped marking is fixed to a locking element via at least one retaining web, with which the side frame can be secured to a rail of the drawer guide. As a result, the marking is no longer attached directly to the thin outer wall of the side frame, but rather to a shaped body of the locking element, which enables stable attachment of the marking. Furthermore, the marking can be mounted independently of the design and shape of the wall of the side frame. Preferably, the locking element has a U-shaped receptacle, in particular a strip-shaped receptacle, and can be inserted between the inner and outer walls of the side frame. As a result, the locking element can be inserted into the side frame in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner in order to be supported in different directions.The strip-shaped receptacle can be designed to be open at the bottom, allowing the marking to be secured via at least one retaining web by inserting it from below into the locking element. This allows the side frame to be effectively installed by inserting the locking element into a U-shaped receptacle of the locking element in the longitudinal direction of a pull-out guide rail. The locking element has at least one substantially vertically aligned opening with an offset, for example in the form of a recess or opening, with the marking being inserted into the opening of the locking element from below with the retaining web.

[0007] The at least one retaining web can have an angled end section that at least partially engages the locking element. The angled end section can be secured to the offset of the locking element. Depending on the size of the marking, one or more retaining webs can be provided along the length of the plate-shaped marking, each of which is fixed to the locking element.

[0008] The locking element preferably has a U-shaped receptacle into which a section of the drawer slide rail is inserted. This allows for effective mounting of the side frame to the drawer slide rail via the locking element. For this purpose, a pivoting latch can be provided on the locking element, for example, which engages through an opening in the adapter and optionally in the drawer slide rail in the locked position, thus ensuring a stable, releasable attachment.

[0009] For a compact design, the inner wall of the side frame has a groove for inserting the edge of a plate-shaped base. This allows the base to be precisely fixed to the side frame. The side frame can be designed as a hollow frame comprising the outer wall and the inner wall, which can be formed, for example, from a single- or multi-part bent metal sheet and enclose a hollow space. The side frame can have one or more adapters or a floor channel cross member, which at least partially forms a section of the inner wall of the side frame.

[0010] The side frame according to the invention is preferably mounted on a drawer, with the side frame connecting a front panel to a rear panel. The locking element is located under the bottom of the drawer and serves to secure the adapter to a rail of a drawer guide.

[0011] The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show:

[0012] Figures 1 A and 1 B show two views of a drawer according to the invention;

[0013] Figures 2A and 2B show two views of a side frame of the drawer of the

[0015] Figures 3A and 3B show two detailed views of the side frame of Figure 2;

[0016] Figure 4 is an exploded view of the side frame of Figure 2;

[0017] Figure 5 is a sectional view of the side frame in the area of ​​the marking;

[0018] Figures 6A and 6B show two views of the locking element for the side frame, and

[0019] Figure 7 shows a view of the marking for the side frame.

[0020] A drawer 1 comprises a plate-shaped base 2 arranged between a front panel 3 and a rear wall 4. The front panel 3 is connected to the rear wall 4 on opposite sides of the base 2 via side frames 5, with the drawer 1 being shown from an underside in Figures 1A and 1B. Below the base 2 is a section of an inner wall 51 of the side frame 5, which forms a channel 22 with an outer wall 50 of the side frame 5 for receiving the locking element 10. The locking element 10 has a U-shaped receptacle 11 into which a rail (not shown) of a pull-out guide can engage. To fix the drawer 1 or the side frame 5 to a rail of a pull-out guide, the movable rail can be inserted into the receptacle 11 at the end in order to fix the drawer 1 to the rail via the locking element 10.For this purpose, the locking element 10 has a pivotable latch 14 held on a lever 12, which can be inserted into an opening in the rail. The locking element thus creates a detachable connection between the rail of the pull-out guide and the drawer 1.

[0021] Furthermore, a marking 6 is arranged on the outer wall 50, which is fixed to the locking element 10 by two retaining webs 16.

[0022] The structure of the side frame is shown in Figures 2A and 2B without the remaining parts of the drawer 1. The side frame 5 comprises the outer wall

[0023] 50 and the inner wall 51, between which a cavity is formed, for example for receiving fastening means for fixing the front panel 3 and / or the rear wall 4. A cover 52 for access to adjustment elements is provided on the inner wall 51. The plate-shaped marking 6 is arranged on a visible surface of the outer wall 50, which can have identification elements such as logos, symbols or other information on one surface. The plate-shaped marking 6 is arranged in a lower region of the outer wall 50 adjacent to the front panel 3. A groove 7 for receiving an edge of the base 2 in the assembled position is provided on the inner wall 51.

[0024] In Figures 3A and 3B, the area of ​​the marking 6 and the locking element 10 is shown in detail. In the area of ​​the locking element 10, a channel 22 is provided from the inner wall 51 and outer wall 50 below the groove 7 on the side frame 5, wherein the channel can optionally be manufactured as a separate component and then connected to the outer wall 50 or inner wall 51 via fastening means, or as in the illustrated embodiment, can be formed integrally through the outer wall 50 and inner wall

[0025] 51 is trained.

[0026] Figure 4 shows an exploded view of the side frame 5. It can be seen that the channel 22 is arranged below the groove 7 for securing the base 2. The channel 22 has a web 9 that can be inserted into the receptacle 11 of the locking element 10. The locking element 10 comprises a strip-shaped molded body 15 that can be inserted into the downwardly open receptacle of the channel 22. A lever 12 is fixed to the locking element 10, which engages with an angled fastening section 13 in the strip-shaped molded body 15 and has the pivotable latch 14 at the opposite end. The plate-shaped marker 6 can be fixed to the locking element 10 via two retaining webs 16, wherein the number of retaining webs 16 can be selected depending on the length of the plate-shaped marker 6.

[0027] Figure 5 shows a section through the marker 6 in the mounted position. It can be seen that the plate-shaped marker 6 is arranged on the visible side of the outer wall 50 and contacts it. The upwardly projecting retaining webs 16 are integrally formed on the underside of the plate-shaped marker 6 and have an angled end section 17 at the free upper end. The end section 17 engages in an offset 21 in the form of a recess or opening 20. Optionally, the offset can also be formed by a profiling.

[0028] The retaining webs 16 each engage in a channel or receptacle on the locking element 10 and are fixed there in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner. The locking element 10 is arranged beneath the base 2 of the drawer 1.

[0029] Figures 6A and 6B show the locking element 10 in detail. The locking element 10 comprises a strip-shaped molded body 15, to which the lever 12 is fixed with the latch 14. Furthermore, a U-shaped receptacle 11 is formed between the strip-shaped molded body 15 and a hook-shaped projection 19. The web can be inserted into the U-shaped receptacle 11.

[0030] 9 of the channel 22. The end section of a rail of the drawer guide can be inserted into the receptacle 11, as also disclosed in document DE 10 2020 127 364 A1, to which reference is hereby made. Openings 20 and offsets 21 are formed in the strip-shaped molded body 15, into which the retaining webs 16 can be inserted.

[0031] Figure 7 shows the plate-shaped marking 6 in detail. The marking 6 can be manufactured as a one-piece component from plastic or metal and has upwardly projecting retaining webs 16 with an angled or thickened end section 17 so that the marking 6 can be fixed to the locking element

[0032] 10 of the side frame 5. Due to the material properties of the plate-shaped marking 6, the retaining webs 16 can develop an elastic restoring force upon deflection. This can further improve the fixation of the marking 6 to the locking element 10.
