Description

[0001] drawer

[0002] The present invention relates to a drawer having a front panel which is connected to a rear wall of the drawer via two side frames arranged on a base of the drawer, each by means of one of two connecting elements, such that the front panel, the side frames, the base and the rear wall surround an interior of the drawer which is open at the top and closed at the bottom by the base, wherein the rear wall comprises a wall element which is fixed between the two connecting elements enclosed by the rear wall, wherein the wall element has an inner surface and an outer surface and wherein the wall element has a first wall thickness on an upper side in the upper, open region of the drawer.

[0003] CN 102406346 A discloses a drawer with two side frames that connect a drawer front panel to a rear wall, thus forming an interior of the drawer. The rear wall consists of a wall element with two connecting elements arranged on its end faces. The rear wall is connected to each of the drawer's side frames by means of one of the connecting elements. The connecting elements have a mounting plate to which the wall element is fixed on the side facing away from the drawer's interior.

[0004] The problem with this drawer is that the wall element has a high wall thickness to ensure sufficient stability, so that the side frames, connecting elements and the wall element visible to a user of the drawer have different wall thicknesses, which negatively affects the appearance of the drawers.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved drawer.

[0006] The present invention solves this problem with a drawer having the features of claim 1.

[0007] According to the invention, the drawer has a front panel which is connected to a rear wall of the drawer via two side frames arranged on a base of the drawer, each by means of one of two connecting elements, such that the front panel, the side frames, the base and the rear wall surround an interior of the drawer which is open at the top and closed at the bottom by the base, wherein the rear wall comprises a wall element which is fixed between the two connecting elements enclosed by the rear wall, wherein the wall element has an inner surface and an outer surface and wherein the wall element has a first wall thickness on an upper side in the upper, open region of the drawer. The first wall thickness essentially corresponds to a wall thickness of the side frames on an upper side, and the wall element has a maximum second wall thickness in the lower, closed region of the drawer, which is greater than the first wall thickness.This allows the rear panel to exhibit high stability. In particular, the present invention allows a user looking at the rear panel from the direction of the drawer's front panel to see the first wall thickness of the wall element with the connecting elements as its only wall thickness, which gives the drawer an attractive appearance. At the same time, the wall element has the maximum second wall thickness in the lower area, thus increasing stability. Furthermore, the drawer of the present invention features particularly low material consumption due to the rear panel with the two wall thicknesses.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting elements each have a third wall thickness on an upper side in the upper, open area of ​​the drawer, which essentially corresponds to the first wall thickness of the wall element, and a receptacle for the wall element in the lower, closed area of ​​the drawer with a receptacle depth that is greater than the third wall thickness. This allows the wall element to be mounted to the connecting element particularly easily, and the drawer can have a particularly attractive appearance. Likewise, the receptacle depth of the connecting elements preferably corresponds to the maximum second wall thickness of the wall element.

[0009] The connecting elements preferably each comprise a fastening section to which a respective end face of the wall element of the rear wall is applied, wherein the connecting elements have the receiving depth in a region of the fastening section which is shorter than the wall element perpendicular to the floor. As a result, the connecting elements are designed to save material. The fastening section is therefore also at least partially invisible from the direction of the front panel. The first wall thickness and the maximum second wall thickness correspond in particular to a first wall thickness and a maximum second wall thickness of the wall element parallel to its end faces. As a result, the rear wall can be designed in a particularly advantageous and material-saving manner. The first wall thickness of the rear wall preferably corresponds to a minimum wall thickness of the wall element.In an optional, alternative embodiment, the third wall thickness is greater than the first wall thickness, in particular by 2 mm to 6 mm and / or the fourth wall thickness is greater than the second wall thickness, in particular by 2 mm to 6 mm, in each case in order to completely cover the end faces of the wall element.

[0010] The fastening sections preferably each have a first contact surface for the end faces of the wall element and a second contact surface for the outer surface of the wall element facing away from the interior of the drawer. The contact surfaces form an angle which has at least one recess in a transition region between the contact surfaces, such that the end face and the outer surface are each arranged gap-free on one of the contact surfaces. This enables particularly advantageous assembly of the drawer. The recess prevents an edge of the wall element between the outer surface and the end face, which otherwise, i.e. without the recess, might not fit into a bend in the transition region between the contact surfaces, from leading to the formation of a gap.

[0011] In this case, one of the contact surfaces is preferably essentially a leg of the angle. Particularly preferably, the recess is approximately U-shaped, with the legs of the U-shape being formed by the extension of one of the legs and a bend in the other leg. This leads, in particular, to stiffening of the legs and enables a particularly stable design of the fastening sections. In this embodiment, the bent leg is, in particular, the contact surface of the respective fastening section against which the outer surface of the wall element rests.

[0012] Preferably, the contact surface for the outer surface of the wall element facing away from the interior of the drawer has at least one recess, which is optionally a slotted hole. A fixing means, for example a screw, is screwed into the wall element through the at least one recess in order to fix the wall element to the fastening section of the connecting element. If the at least one recess is designed as a slotted hole, the wall element is adjustable along the longitudinal direction of the slotted hole. In particular, the position of the fixing means can be adapted along the at least one recess. This enables the rear wall to be aligned with the base of the drawer so that it is arranged thereon without a gap.

[0013] In particular, the connecting elements each have a stop, for example a web, against which the wall element rests, ensuring that the wall element is positioned at the correct height. This makes mounting the wall element to the connecting elements particularly easy. Furthermore, the wall element is prevented from sinking due to gravity relative to the connecting elements.

[0014] In particular, the first wall thickness is from 7 to 14 mm and preferably from 10 to 13 mm, so that the drawer is designed to be particularly material-saving and can have a uniform, attractive appearance even in the case of particularly narrow side frames.

[0015] The maximum second wall thickness is preferably between 14.5 and 21 mm, and preferably between 15 and 20 mm. This enables a particularly stable design of the rear wall and thus of the drawer.

[0016] Preferably, the wall thickness of the wall element increases evenly along the wall element from the first wall thickness to the maximum second wall thickness. This simplifies manufacture of the wall element, for example by milling or sawing. In one embodiment, the wall thickness of the wall element increases from the first wall thickness to the maximum second wall thickness via a bevel, preferably formed on the wall element. This allows the drawer to be designed to be particularly stable and, at the same time, easy to clean, since the rear wall is less susceptible to the accumulation of dust. For a particularly attractive appearance of the drawer, the angle between the bevel and the inner surface of the wall element facing the interior of the drawer is optionally between 10° and 50°, in particular 15° to 35°.The angle can be adjusted to the height of the wall element to be optimized for a changing viewing angle of the user, for example, the angle is larger for a lower wall element than for a higher one.

[0017] According to a further embodiment, the wall thickness of the wall element increases gradually along the wall element from the first wall thickness to the maximum second wall thickness. This allows the drawer to have a particularly attractive appearance. Particularly preferably, the wall thickness of the wall element increases via a step from the first wall thickness to the maximum second wall thickness. In this way, the wall element can have an optimized volume while maintaining high stability. This enables a particularly material-saving design of the wall element. The step preferably has a depth of 2 mm to 17 mm in the pull-out direction of the drawer, parallel to the second wall thickness.

[0018] Above the floor, perpendicular to the floor, the rear wall has a height. The rear wall has the maximum second wall thickness, particularly at a height section that, for a particularly stable design of the rear wall, preferably accounts for 20% to 90%, and preferably 50% to 70%, of the height of the rear wall.

[0019] According to this embodiment, the height of the rear panel is preferably from 5 cm to 32 cm and preferably from 6 cm to 27 cm. The rear panel can thus also be used for drawers with particularly large interior spaces or corresponding internal volumes.

[0020] The wall element is preferably made of a wood-based panel, such as a solid wood panel, a particle board, a medium-density fiberboard, or a composite panel, or a combination thereof. This allows for a particularly sustainable design of the rear wall. Optionally, a metal, such as aluminum, can be used as an alternative or in addition for a robust design.

[0021] In particular, the connecting elements are made of materials such as metal, aluminum and / or plastic or a combination thereof to ensure stability.

[0022] In a particularly advantageous variant, the area of ​​the outer surface with the second wall thickness is not visible from a viewer's viewing angle of 60° from the direction from the front panel to the top of the wall element.

[0023] In a further embodiment, a surface facing the interior of the drawer, which consists of inner surfaces of the connecting elements and the wall element, is substantially flat and perpendicular to the bottom of the drawer, which simplifies use, for example filling the interior of the drawer, and makes the drawer particularly easy to clean. The connecting elements preferably make up 10% to 50% of the surface facing the interior of the drawer. According to a particularly visually appealing embodiment, the surface of the rear wall facing the interior of the drawer is formed only by means of the wall element, so that from the interior of the drawer, only the wall element is visible as the rear-side inner wall of the drawer.The connecting elements are arranged in an area that is not visible from the interior of the drawer and are recessed, for example, into the side frame.

[0024] The term "correspond" or "corresponds" means that corresponding wall thicknesses are substantially equal and have a maximum deviation from corresponding wall thicknesses of up to 10% and preferably less than 5%.

[0025] At least some of the edges or corners of the rear wall optionally have rounded portions, or fillets, chamfers, or coves. Deviations from the first or the maximum second wall thickness resulting from this are to be considered, within the meaning of the present invention, as if the affected corners or edges were formed without the rounded portions, or fillets, chamfers, or coves.

[0026] In a further embodiment, the connecting elements optionally have an adjusting means by which the orientation of the front panel can be adjusted. The adjusting element can, in particular, comprise an adjusting wheel that can be adjusted manually or by means of a tool. Preferably, the inclination of the drawer can be adjusted by the adjusting means on a holding means for a drawer guide such that it can be changed along an inclination axis in the region of the front panel.

[0027] The present invention is explained in more detail below with reference to several drawings. They show:

[0028] Fig. 1 a and b each show a sectional view of a drawer according to the invention,

[0029] Fig. 2a and b each show a sectional view of a drawer according to a further embodiment of the present invention,

[0030] Fig. 3a and b two perspective views of a part of a rear wall of the drawer from Fig. 1 a,

[0031] Fig. 4a and b two views of a part of a rear wall of the drawer from Fig. 2a, Fig. 5a to 5e several views of a connecting element of the rear wall from Fig. 3a or 4a,

[0032] Fig. 6a to 6c several views of an assembly of the rear wall from Fig. 1 a,

[0033] Fig. 7a to 7c several views of an assembly of the rear wall to the

[0034] Drawer from Fig. 1 a.

[0035] Fig. 1 a shows a cross-section of a drawer 1 according to the invention, which has a front panel 2. The front panel 2 is connected to a rear wall 5 of the drawer 1 via two side frames 4 arranged on a base 3 of the drawer 1, only one of which is shown in Fig. 1 a, each by means of one of two connecting elements 51 not shown. The front panel 2, the side frames 4, the base 3 and the rear wall 5 surround an interior 6 of the drawer 1 that is open at the top and closed at the bottom by the base 3. The rear wall 5 comprises the connecting elements 51 and a wall element 52 that is fixed between the two connecting elements 51. Below the base 3, a part 42 of the side frame 4 can be seen, which, among other things, forms a support for the base 3. A connection interface for a pull-out guide is arranged in the front part 42 of the side frame 4.

[0036] The wall element 52 has a height H1 above the base 3 in the height direction R, which runs perpendicular to the base 3. A surface 521 of the rear wall 5 facing the interior 6, which surface comprises an inner surface 525 of the wall element facing the interior 6 of the drawer 1, runs essentially in one plane. The surface 521 is formed from the inner surfaces 517 of the connecting elements 51 and the inner surface 525 of the wall element 52. An upper side 526 of the wall element 52 is arranged in the upper, open area of ​​the drawer 1. A height HS of the side frames 4 is greater here than the height H1 of the wall element 52; however, the height H1 of the wall element 52 can also correspond to the height HS of the side frames 4 or be significantly higher than the side frames 4.

[0037] Fig. 1 b shows an enlarged sectional view of the area of ​​the rear wall 5 of the drawer 1 from Fig. 1 a. The wall element 52 has a first wall thickness W1 on its upper side 526 in the upper, open area of ​​the drawer 1, which essentially corresponds to a wall thickness of the side frames 4. The wall element 52 includes a maximum second wall thickness W2, which is greater than the first wall thickness W1. The wall element 52 has the second wall thickness W2 in the lower, closed area of ​​the drawer 1. The first wall thickness W1 corresponds to a minimum wall thickness of the wall element 52 on the upper side 526.

[0038] Below the second wall thickness W2, in the area of ​​the base 3 and above the part 42 of the side frame 4, the rear wall 5 and in particular the wall element 52 has a recess 55. The recess 55 encloses an edge of the base 3 of the drawer 1, so that the rear wall 5 is supported on the base 3.

[0039] In the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1a and 1b, the wall thickness of the wall element 52 increases from the first wall thickness W1 via a slope 53 to the maximum second wall thickness W2. The slope 53 is formed on the side of an outer surface 524 of the wall element 52 facing away from the interior 6 of the drawer 1. An angle between the slope 53 and an inner surface 525 of the wall element 52 facing the interior 6 of the drawer 1 is optionally between 10° and 50°.

[0040] The wall element 52 has the maximum second wall thickness W2 at a height section H2, which accounts for a proportion of 20% to 90% and preferably 50% to 70% of the height H1 of the wall element 52. The slope 53 runs along the remaining height section H3 of the height H1, so that the wall thickness of the wall element 52 increases uniformly along the direction R of the wall element 52 from the first wall thickness W1 to the maximum second wall thickness W2.

[0041] As shown by the eye, a viewer of the rear wall 5 from the direction of the front panel 2 of the drawer 1 in the direction of the wall thickness of the wall element 52 sees essentially only the first wall thickness W1 as the wall thickness of the wall element 52.

[0042] The embodiment of Figs. 2a and 2b essentially corresponds to Figs. 1a and 1b, respectively. The only difference is that the wall element 52 has a step 54 instead of the slope 53. The wall thickness of the wall element 52 increases across the step 54 from the first wall thickness W1 to the maximum second wall thickness W2.

[0043] In this case, the wall element 52 has the maximum second wall thickness W2, just as in Figs. 1a and 1b, over a height section H2, which accounts for a proportion of 20% to 90% and preferably 50% to 70% of the height H1 of the wall element 52. However, in contrast to Figs. 1a and 1b, the wall element 52 has the first wall thickness W1 over the entire height section H3. The height section H3 corresponds to the portion of the height H1 not taken up by the height section H2.

[0044] Both in the embodiment with the bevel 53 from Fig. 1a and 1b, and in the embodiment with the step 54 from Fig. 2a and 2b, the first wall thickness W1 is from 7 to 14 mm and preferably from 10 to 13 mm. The maximum second wall thickness W2 is from 14.5 to 21 mm and preferably from 15 to 20 mm. The height H1 of the wall element 52 is from 5 cm to 32 cm and preferably from 6 cm to 27 cm. In both embodiments, the wall element 52 optionally consists of a wood-based material, for example a solid wood panel, a chipboard, a medium-density fiberboard or a composite panel.

[0045] Fig. 3a shows an isometric view of a portion of the rear wall 5 from Fig. 1a, with only one of the two connecting elements 51 shown. The connecting element 51 is arranged on one end face 522 of the wall element 52. The second connecting element 51, not shown, is mirror-symmetrical to the illustrated connecting element 51 and is arranged on the other end face 523 of the wall element 52.

[0046] The wall element 52 has the slope 53 and the recess 55. In Fig. 1a, the wall element 52 is supported on the base 3 of the drawer 1 by means of the recess 55. A recess 519 is formed on the connecting element 51, which functionally essentially corresponds to the recess 55 of the wall element 52 and extends it.

[0047] An inner surface 517 of the connecting element 51 is designed such that it extends essentially in a plane with the inner surface 525. The inner surface 517 and the inner surface 525 form the flat surface 521 facing the interior 6 of the drawer, as shown in Figs. 1a and 1b, or Figs. 2a and 2b. An opening is formed in the inner surface 517, in the region of which an adjusting means 516 is accessible to a user. By means of the adjusting means 516, the alignment of the drawer 1 can be adjusted, for example, on a pull-out guide (not shown) for the drawer 1.

[0048] On one side of the rear wall 5, on which an upper side 518 of the connecting element 51 and an upper side 526 of the wall element 52 are arranged, the outer edges of both the wall element 52 and the connecting element 51 have rounded portions, which, however, are irrelevant to the wall thickness of the components in this area. In these exemplary embodiments, the upper side 518 and the upper side 526 extend essentially in one plane.

[0049] Fig. 3b shows a plan view of the rear wall 5 from Fig. 3a from the direction of the upper side 526 of the wall element 52. As can be seen from the figure, the wall element 52 has the first wall thickness W1 on its upper side 526. The wall thickness of the wall element 52 increases over the slope 53 to the maximum second wall thickness W2. Both wall thicknesses, W1 and W2, are measured perpendicular to the longitudinal extent L of the rear wall 5.

[0050] The connecting element 51 comprises a fastening section 511 on which the end face 522 of the wall element 52 of the rear wall 5 is arranged.

[0051] The fastening section 511 has a first contact surface 512, on which the end face 522 of the drawer is arranged without a gap. The outer surface 524 of the wall element 52, facing away from the interior 6 of the drawer 1, is arranged on a second contact surface 513 of the fastening section 511.

[0052] The wall element 52 is arranged on the contact surface 513 in the region of the maximum second wall thickness W2. The contact surface 513 is offset from the inner surface 517 of the connecting element 51 in the direction of the second wall thickness W2 by a receiving depth W4, so that a receptacle for the wall element 52 is formed and the inner surface 525 of the wall element 52 facing the interior 6 of the drawer 1 is arranged essentially in a plane with the inner surface 517 of the connecting element 51. The receiving depth W4 essentially corresponds at least to the maximum second wall thickness W2.

[0053] The contact surfaces 512 and 513 form an angle, with each contact surface 512, 513 being a leg of the angle. The angle has a recess 514 in a transition area between the contact surfaces 512 and 513. The recess is essentially U-shaped, forming an extension of the contact surface 512 and a bend in the contact surface 513.

[0054] The connecting element 51 has, likewise perpendicular to the longitudinal extension L of the rear wall 5, a third wall thickness W3 in the upper, open area of ​​the drawer 1 and a receiving depth W4 in the lower, closed area of ​​the drawer 1, which is greater than the third wall thickness W3. The connecting element 51 has the third wall thickness W3 on its upper side 518. The third wall thickness W3 essentially corresponds to the first wall thickness W1. For the purposes of the present invention, a protrusion of the contact surface 513 or the recess 514 from the outer surface 524 of the wall element 52 is irrelevant. The maximum second wall thickness W2 of the wall element 52 from Fig. 1a or 1b, or Figs. 2a and 2b, therefore also essentially corresponds to the maximum wall thickness of the rear wall 5 in the area of ​​the contact surface 513 or the recess 514.Optionally, the third wall thickness W3 can be 2 mm to 6 mm larger than the first wall thickness W1 and / or the fourth wall thickness W4 can be 2 mm to 6 mm larger than the second wall thickness W2.

[0055] In the case of the embodiment of Fig. 3a and 3b, the slope 53 is designed such that it is not visible from the direction of the front panel 2 of the drawer 1 in Fig. 2a at an angle of 60° measured to the preferably horizontal upper side 526 of the wall element 52 on the wall element 52, so that a viewer from this direction only perceives the first wall thickness W1 of the wall element 52.

[0056] Figs. 4a and 4b essentially correspond to Figs. 3a and 3b, respectively, with the wall element 52 shown corresponding to the wall element 52 of Figs. 2a and 2b. Unlike in Figs. 3a or 3b, the wall element 52 has the step 54 of Figs. 2a and 2b instead of the slope 53.

[0057] The connecting element 51 is designed like the connecting element 51 shown in Fig. 3a and is arranged on the first end face 522 of the wall element 52. A second connecting element is not shown and is arranged on the second end face 523 of the wall element 52. The two connecting elements 51 are mirror-symmetrical to one another.

[0058] The wall element 52 in Fig. 4a has the first wall thickness W1 in the entire region of the wall element 52 arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal extension L of the rear wall 5 of the figure, corresponding to above the maximum second wall thickness W2. This region corresponds to the height section H3 of Fig. 2b.

[0059] Fig. 5a shows an isometric view of the connecting element 51 from Fig. 3a or 4a. The connecting element 51 has the fastening section 511, wherein a recess 5121 is formed in the first contact surface 512, which stiffens the connecting element 51.

[0060] The second contact surface 513 has two recesses 5131 formed as elongated holes in an area adjacent to the recess 514. The wall element 52 (not shown in Fig. 5a) is secured to the second contact surface 513 by means of a fixing means (not shown), for example, by screws, through the recesses 5131.

[0061] The connecting element 51 has a stop 515 on the first contact surface 512, against which the wall element 52 can rest in Fig. 3a or 4a. The stop 515 is formed as a protruding web on the connecting element 51 in the region of the recess 519.

[0062] Fig. 5b shows a plan view of the connecting element 51 from the direction of the interior 6 of the drawer from Fig. 1a or 2a. It can be seen that the stop 515 has a recess in a perpendicular direction to the contact surface 512, so that the wall element 52 can rest gap-free on the web of the stop 515 and gap-free on the contact surface 512.

[0063] A plane of symmetry S, to which the second connecting element 51 is formed symmetrically, is shown both in Fig. 5b in a plan view of the inner surface 517 of the connecting element 51, and in Fig. 5c in a plan view of the upper side 518 of the connecting element 51.

[0064] As can be seen from Fig. 5c and also from Fig. 3a or 4a, the connecting element has the third wall thickness W3 on the upper side 518. The connecting element 51 has the receiving depth W4, which essentially corresponds at least to the maximum second wall thickness W2, along the contact surface 513.

[0065] Fig. 5d shows the connecting element 51 in a plan view of the contact surface 512. Fig. 5e shows the adjusting means 516 for adjusting the inclination of the drawer 1 from Fig. 1a or 2a removed from the connecting element 51.

[0066] Fig. 6a to 6c show the assembly of the connecting element 51 on the end face 522 of the wall element 52. The fastening section 511 initially receives the wall element 52 in the region of the maximum second wall thickness W2, with the wall element 52 preferably abutting against the stop 515. The wall element 52 is then fixed to the fastening section 511 by means of a fixing means 5132, which here is a screw that is screwed into one of the recesses 5131 from Fig. 5a and into the wall element 52. The wall element 52 is then arranged on the contact surfaces 512 and 513 essentially without a gap. To produce the rear wall 5, the second connecting element (not shown) is also fixed in the same way to the end face 523 of the wall element 52 opposite the end face 522. Fig. 7a shows the rear wall 5 with the bevel 53 from Fig. 1a or 3a before assembly on the side frames 4 of the drawer 1 from Fig. 1a.Alternatively, the rear wall 5 with the step 54 from Figs. 2a and 4a could also be inserted in the same way. The rear wall 5 has the wall element 52 arranged between the two connecting elements 51. The connecting elements 51 are mirror-symmetrical to one another, as described for Fig. 5b. One connecting element 51 is fixed to each end face 522, 523 of the wall element 52.

[0067] The surface 521 facing the front panel 2 is essentially flat. The connecting elements 51 each have a fastening means 56. These fastening means 56 are inserted into the side frames 4 and held by a respective holding means 41 within the side frames 4. The side frames 4 each have a wall thickness B that corresponds to the first wall thickness W1 of the rear wall 5 or the wall element 52. Fig. 7b shows the insertion of the fastening means 56 into the side frames 4.

[0068] Fig. 7c shows a top view of the drawer 1. The front panel 2 is connected to the rear wall 5 of the drawer 1 via the side frames 4 arranged on the base 3 of the drawer 1, each by means of one of the two connecting elements 51. The rear wall 5 comprises the wall element 52, which is arranged between the connecting elements 51.

[0069] The connecting elements 51 are connected to the holding means 41 within the side frames 4 by means of the fastening means 56. The surface 521 facing the interior space 6 is essentially flat and consists of the inner surface 525 of the wall element 52 and the inner surfaces 517 of the connecting elements 51.

[0070] The connecting elements 51 optionally make up a portion of 10% to 50% of the surface 521 facing the interior 6 of the drawer 1. Alternatively, a surface 521 of the rear wall 5 facing the interior 6 of the drawer 1 is formed only by the wall element 52, so that, starting from the interior 6 of the drawer 1, only the wall element 52 is visible as the rear-side inner wall of the drawer 1.
