Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a double-walled drawer side having an inner wall and an outer wall. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a drawer with a double-walled drawer side according to claim 15 and to a method for mechanically and / or manually manufacturing a double-walled drawer side according to claim 16.

[0002] Double-walled drawer sides are already known in the prior art. These known double-walled drawer sides are usually manufactured by mechanical methods, in which the inner and outer walls of the double-walled drawer side are positioned accordingly and connected to one another by a suitable connecting technique, such as welding, gluing, riveting, screwing, or clinching.

[0003] The above-mentioned joining techniques have the disadvantage that they are not suitable for the manual production of double-walled drawer sides. Furthermore, mechanical production methods require additional joining devices, such as welding, gluing, riveting, screwing and / or clinching devices, that can realize the joining techniques.

[0004] The connection of the outer and inner walls to one another can also be achieved by mechanical holding devices, such as those disclosed in WO 2013 / 090951, which allow the double-walled drawer sides to be assembled manually and / or mechanically without additional equipment.

[0005] This prior art has the disadvantage that the mechanical retaining devices typically have play which can lead to noise generation, particularly rattle, when the double-walled drawer sides are in use.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to avoid noise generation during use of a double-walled drawer side panel while keeping the manufacture of the double-walled drawer side panel simple.

[0007] According to the present invention, it is specified that at least one spacer is arranged or can be arranged between the inner wall and the outer wall, and that this at least one spacer can be clamped between the at least one first overhang and the at least one second overhang.

[0008] At least one spacer is arranged or can be arranged between the inner and outer wall, thereby avoiding noise generation when using the double-walled drawer side.

[0009] By having at least one spacer clampable between the at least one first overhang and the at least one second overhang, the production of double-walled drawers can be carried out particularly simply, in particular the at least one spacer does not have to be clampable between the inner and outer walls and thus does not have to be held by the inner and / or outer walls. Furthermore, the present invention specifies that the at least one spacer is substantially plate-shaped, which allows the at least one spacer to contact the inner and / or outer wall over a relatively large surface area and thus prevent noise generation.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, it is specified that the outer wall or the inner wall is connectable to or connected to the inner wall or the outer wall via at least one first overhang and / or at least one second overhang.

[0011] This allows the at least one first overhang and / or the at least one second overhang to be used both for the connection between the two walls and for clamping the at least one spacer, which makes the construction particularly simple to produce.

[0012] It may be specified that at least one first overhang and / or at least one second overhang extends laterally from the inner wall and / or the outer wall, thereby holding the at least one spacer in the direction of the plane of the inner wall and / or the outer wall.

[0013] In another embodiment, the at least one first and / or at least one second protrusion is fixedly, in particular integrally, connected to the inner and / or outer wall. In particular, the at least one first and / or at least one second protrusion is made from the same sheet metal material as the inner and / or outer wall. Particularly preferably, the at least one first and / or at least one second protrusion is integrally connected to the inner wall. This reduces the number of components.

[0014] It may be specified that the at least one first overhang and / or the at least one second overhang extend over the entire length and / or width of the inner and / or outer wall.

[0015] In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one first overhang and / or at least one second overhang form an end face of a double-walled drawer side. Particularly preferably, the inner and outer walls may be connected to one another via the end face, which preferably extends over the entire length of the inner and / or outer wall.

[0016] It may be specified that the at least one first overhang and the at least one second overhang are arranged on two opposite sides, preferably on the long sides, of the inner and / or outer wall, in particular when the at least one first overhang and / or the at least one second overhang form end faces of a double-walled drawer side.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, at least one spacer is at least partially, preferably entirely, made of foam, in particular polyethylene foam. The foam used is particularly preferably of the type Alveo NA 36 / 100. The use of foam allows noise emissions to be avoided particularly efficiently.

[0018] The at least one spacer is preferably made elastic so that it does not undergo permanent deformation even with longer use.

[0020] Particularly preferably, at least one spacer has a predetermined breaking point, preferably a perforation. At least one spacer can be split along the predetermined breaking point, preferably without tools. This allows one type of spacer to be used for double-walled drawer sides of different sizes. For example, the entire unbroken spacer can be used for larger drawer sides, while only the broken portion of the original spacer can be used for smaller drawer sides.

[0021] In one embodiment, at least one spacer is in surface contact with the inner wall and / or the outer wall in the clamped state, thereby preventing noise generation.

[0022] In particular, at least one spacer covers at least one quarter of the surface of the inner and / or outer wall.

[0023] In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one spacer is spaced apart from an imaginary plane defined by the points of contact of the outer or inner wall for coupling with the inner or outer wall in the clamped state, this distance preferably being between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm.

[0024] The at least one spacer may be in contact with the inner wall and spaced apart from an imaginary plane defined by the points of contact where the outer wall comes into contact with the inner wall for connection, which may be located on at least one first overhang and / or at least one second overhang when the outer and inner walls are connected via overhangs.

[0025] It may be specified that the outer or inner wall is curved toward the inner or outer wall when connected to the inner or outer wall, so that the outer or inner wall contacts the at least one clamped spacer. In particular, the outer or inner wall may contact the at least one clamped spacer despite the presence of a gap as described in the previous paragraph. In this case, the curved portion spans a gap of, in particular, 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, at least one first overhang and / or at least one second overhang has at least one guide groove for guiding the outer wall or the inner wall, preferably formed as a substantially semicircular bend of the sheet metal member, in particular, the guide groove is arranged only on the first overhang.

[0027] It may be specified that the at least one guide groove is followed by a lead-in surface for introducing the outer or inner wall transversely to the longitudinal direction of the at least one guide groove, and that at least one spacer is preferably in contact with an edge of the lead-in surface in the clamped state. To introduce the outer or inner wall, a part of the outer or inner wall can rest on the lead-in surface and be pushed over this lead-in surface into the guide groove.

[0028] It may be specified that the outer or inner wall has at least one guide web for introduction into the at least one guide groove, thereby providing a connection between the outer or inner wall and the overhang.

[0029] Preferably, in this case, the at least one guide web is formed as a substantially semicircular bend of the sheet metal member, and it is preferably specified that the radius of the at least one bend of the at least one guide groove is greater than the radius of the at least one bend of the at least one guide web.

[0030] Additionally or alternatively, it may be specified that the at least one guide web is made from the same sheet metal part as the outer or inner wall, preferably from an edge portion of the outer or inner wall.

[0031] The double-walled drawer side panel may comprise at least one retaining device for retaining the at least one guide groove on the at least one guide web, which may grip after or during insertion of the guide web into the guide groove.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, at least one second overhang and / or at least one first overhang has a stepped shape, in particular this shaping is provided for at least one second overhang.

[0033] In this case, it is preferable that at least one spacer can be arranged in the clamped state on the first step starting from the inner or outer wall, and it may be particularly preferable that at least one spacer is in contact with the curved portion of at least one first step.

[0034] Preferably, it may be specified that at least one outer or inner wall is arranged in the last step, preferably the second step, starting from the inner or outer wall, in a state where it is connected to the inner or outer wall.

[0035] In one embodiment, at least one second overhang and / or at least one first overhang has at least one hooking web for hooking the outer wall or the inner wall, in particular, this molding is provided for at least one second overhang.

[0036] In this case, it may be specified that the outer or inner wall has at least one hook groove for hooking the outer or inner wall to at least one hook web, and preferably the at least one hook groove is shaped as a bent-back end portion of the outer or inner wall.

[0037] In particular, the guide web and the hook groove may be arranged on the outer wall, and the first and second protrusions may be arranged on the inner wall (or vice versa). The outer wall can be connected to the inner wall by introducing the guide web into the guide groove of at least one first protrusion and engaging the hook groove with the back side of the hook web.

[0038] A method according to the invention for mechanically and / or manually producing a double-walled drawer side with an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall and / or the outer wall has at least one first overhang and at least one second overhang, comprises: between at least one first overhang and at least one second overhang; ,fruit a method step of clamping at least one qualitatively plate-like spacer; - placing an outer wall parallel to the inner wall and connecting it to said inner wall; are carried out sequentially in the order specifically described.

[0039] Preferably, in this case, it is specified that the outer wall and / or the inner wall is arranged on at least one first protruding portion and at least one second protruding portion, which are connected to the inner wall or the outer wall.

[0041] Thereby, at least one spacer can be first attached by clamping to a first wall (external or internal) with an overhang. In a subsequent step, a second wall, preferably without an overhang, can be placed on the unit consisting of the first wall and the spacer and then joined. Advantageously, in this embodiment, the spacer does not need to be specially held, since it is already attached to the first wall during the joining of the two walls.

[0042] When joining the outer and inner walls together, - moving both walls relative to each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the walls and / or transversely to this longitudinal direction; - How to connect both walls to each other during the movement may be specified.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the method, at least one spacer has a target breaking point, preferably a perforation, and in this case preferably before clamping the at least one spacer between the at least one first overhang and the at least one second overhang, - a method step of breaking at least one spacer along a target breaking point, in particular without tools; - clamping the broken portion of the at least one spacer between the at least one first overhang and the at least one second overhang, still using the broken portion as a spacer; The following will be implemented.

[0046] 1a to 1h show different embodiments of the arrangement of at least one spacer 4, at least one first protrusion 81 and at least one second protrusion 82 in a view perpendicular to the plane of the outer wall 3 or the inner wall 2.

[0047] At least one spacer 4 is disposed between the inner wall 2 and the outer wall 3. One outer wall 3 (or one inner wall 2) is shown in each of Figures 1a to 1h. The illustrated outer wall 3 (or one inner wall 2) is disposed below the at least one spacer 4. The inner wall 2 (or one outer wall 3) disposed above the at least one spacer 4 is not shown in Figures 1a to 1h.

[0048] At least one spacer 4 is clampable between at least one first overhang 81 and at least one second overhang 82 .

[0049] 1a, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 extend over the entire length of the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3. Furthermore, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 are arranged on two opposite long sides of the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3. The spacer 4 extends over the entire width of the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3.

[0050] In particular in this form of embodiment, overhangs 81, 82 may be used to join the outer wall 3 and the inner wall 2 together. The overhangs 81, 82 may form the end faces of the outer side panels 1 of the double wall.

[0051] In Figure 1b, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 are arranged parallel to the long sides of the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3. However, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 are arranged within the plane of the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3, rather than on two opposite long sides.

[0052] In Fig. 1c, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 are arranged perpendicular to the long sides of the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3. However, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 are not arranged on the short sides.

[0053] In Fig. 1d, the first overhanging portion 81 and the second overhanging portion 82 are formed as bent portions. The spacer 4 is held at two diagonally opposite corners.

[0054] In Figure 1e, a first overhang 81 extends the entire length of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3 and is located on one long side of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3. A second overhang 82 is located parallel to the long side of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3 and is located within the plane of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3.

[0055] In Fig. 1f, two spacers 4 are provided. The first spacer 4 is clamped between a first overhang 81 arranged on a first short side and a second overhang 82 oriented parallel to the first short side and arranged inside the plane of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3. The second spacer 4 is clamped between a first overhang 81 arranged on a second short side opposite the first short side and a second overhang 82 oriented parallel to the second short side and arranged inside the plane of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3.

[0056] In Fig. 1g, two first protrusions 81 are provided, which are formed as bent portions and hold the spacer 4 at two opposite corners along one long side of the spacer 4. A second protrusion 82 is arranged on the second long side of the spacer 4.

[0057] In Figure 1h, two spacers 4 are provided. The first spacer 4 is clamped between a first overhang 81 arranged on one long side of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3, extending over the entire length of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3, and a second overhang 82 oriented parallel to the long side and arranged inside the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3. The second spacer 4 is clamped between a second overhang 81 arranged on the opposite long side of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3, extending over the entire length of the inner wall 2 and / or outer wall 3, and a second overhang 82 that also holds the first spacer 4.

[0058] Figures 2a to 2d show different embodiments of the arrangement of at least one spacer 4, at least one first protrusion 81 and at least one second protrusion 82, viewed parallel to the plane of the outer or inner wall, in particular along the longitudinal direction of the drawer side panel 1.

[0059] At least one first overhang 81 and / or at least one second overhang 82 projects laterally from the inner wall 2 and / or the outer wall 3 .

[0060] In Figure 2a, both the first overhang 81 and the second overhang 82 are arranged on the inner wall 2. In Figure 2b, both the first overhang 81 and the second overhang 82 are arranged on the outer wall 3. In Figure 2c, the first overhang 81 is arranged on the inner wall 2 and the second overhang 82 is arranged on the outer wall 3.

[0061] 2a to 2c, at least one spacer 4 is in surface contact with the inner wall 2 and the outer wall 3. In FIG.

[0062] 2d shows a suitable example, in which at least one spacer 4 is disposed at a distance A from an imaginary plane defined by the points where the outer wall 3 contacts the inner wall 2 for joining in the clamped state. This distance A is preferably 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0063] The points of contact between the outer wall 3 and the inner wall 2 for joining are located at the first protruding portion 81 and the second protruding portion 82. The spacer 4 is also clamped between these protruding portions 81, 82. In other words, the outer wall 3 is joined to the inner wall via at least one first protruding portion 81 and at least one second protruding portion 82.

[0064] In this case, the outer wall 3 is curved towards the inner wall 2 when connected to the inner wall 2, so that the outer wall 3 or the inner wall 2 is in contact with the clamped at least one spacer 4. This prevents noise generation, even though the protrusions 81, 82 are higher than the spacer 4.

[0065] A preferred embodiment of a double-walled drawer side 1 is shown in Figures 3a to 6d.

[0066] In this embodiment, at least one first ledge 81 and at least one second ledge 82 are fixedly, in particular integrally, connected to the inner wall 2 and are in particular made from the same sheet metal material as the inner wall 2. In this case, the first ledge 81 and the second ledge 82 each form one end face of a long side of the drawer side panel 1.

[0067] The outer wall 3 is connected to the inner wall 2 via a first overhanging portion 81 and a second overhanging portion 82 .

[0068] The spacer 4 may be made at least partly, preferably entirely, from foam, in particular polyethylene foam, and is substantially shaped like a plate, which effectively prevents noise generation.

[0069] In particular, four steps for making a double-walled drawer side 1 are shown in Figures 3a-4b.

[0070] In FIG. 3a, an inner wall 2 with two overhangs 81, 82 and a spacer 4 is provided.

[0071] In FIG. 3 b the spacer 4 is clamped between a first overhang 81 and a second overhang 82 .

[0072] In FIG. 4 a , the outer wall 3 is placed in a guide groove 51 provided in the first overhanging portion 81 .

[0073] In Figure 4b, the outer wall 3 is arranged parallel to the inner wall 2 and is connected to this inner wall 2. In particular, the outer wall 3 is arranged on at least one first overhang 81 and at least one second overhang 82 and is connected to the inner wall 2.

[0074] 5a to 5c show further details of the operations required to join the outer wall 3 to the inner wall 2. FIG.

[0075] In FIG. 5 a, the outer wall 3 is placed on the inner wall 2 .

[0076] In FIG. 5 b , both walls 2 , 3 are moved relative to each other transversely to the longitudinal direction of the walls 2 , 3 , so that the outer wall 3 engages in the guide groove 51 provided in the first overhang 81 .

[0077] In particular, at least one guide web arranged on the outer wall 3 is pressed into at least one guide groove 51 arranged in the first overhang 81. In this case, this at least one guide groove 51 surrounds the at least one guide web.

[0078] Furthermore, in particular, at least one hook web 62 arranged on the second protruding portion 82 is pressed into at least one hook groove 61 arranged on the outer wall 3. In this case, the at least one hook groove 61 engages with the back side of the at least one hook web 62.

[0079] The hook grooves 61 and the guide webs are arranged on two long sides of the outer wall 3 that are opposite to each other.

[0080] In FIG. 5c, both walls 2,3 are moved relative to each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the walls 2,3.

[0081] In particular, at least one guide web is moved in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the walls 2, 3 in the at least one guide groove 51. Furthermore, in particular, at least one hook web 62 is moved in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the walls 2, 3 in the at least one hook groove 61.

[0082] In short, both walls 2, 3 are connected to each other during the movement.

[0083] In Figure 6b a cross section of Figure 6a is shown showing the inner wall 2 with the spacer 4 disposed thereon.

[0084] In the region of the second ledge 82, a container rail 11 is provided for the mounting of the double-walled drawer side 1, which can be seen better in FIG. 6b.

[0085] FIG. 6c shows a detailed view of the first overhang 81 in the area where the spacer 4 contacts it.

[0086] The at least one first protrusion 81 has at least one guide groove 51 for guiding the outer wall 3. Preferably, the at least one guide groove 51 is formed as a substantially semicircular bend of the sheet metal member.

[0087] The at least one guide groove 51 is followed by a lead-in surface 53 for leading the outer wall 3 transversely to the longitudinal direction of the at least one guide groove 51 .

[0088] The spacer 4 is in contact with the edge of the lead-in surface 53 in the clamped state.

[0089] The guide groove 51 and the introduction surface 53 are preferably formed from the same sheet metal material as the inner wall 2 .

[0090] A guide web arranged on the outer wall 3 can be pressed into the guide groove 51. This guide web is formed as a substantially semicircular bent section of a sheet metal part. Preferably, the radius of at least one bend of the guide groove 51 is larger than the radius of at least one bend of the guide web. The guide web is made from the same sheet metal part as the outer wall 3 or the inner wall 2, preferably from an end section of the outer wall 3.

[0091] The double-walled drawer side 1 may be provided with at least one retaining device 7 for retaining the at least one guide groove 51 on the at least one guide web 52 .

[0092] FIG. 6d shows a detailed view of the second overhang 82 in the area where the spacer 4 contacts it.

[0093] The second protrusion 82 has a stepped shape. In the clamped state, the spacer 4 is arranged on a first step 91 starting from the inner wall 2. This first step 91 has a curved portion 10. In this case, the spacer 4 is in contact with the curved portion 10 of the first step 91.

[0094] The outer wall 3 , in a state where it is connected to the inner wall 2 , is arranged starting from the inner wall 2 on a second step 92 .

[0095] Both steps 91, 92 and curved portion 10 are made from the same sheet metal material as inner wall 2.

[0096] A hook web 62 for hooking the outer wall 2 can be arranged on the second protrusion 82, in particular on the second step 92. The outer wall 3 can have a corresponding hook groove 61 for hooking the outer wall 3 onto the at least one hook web 62. The at least one hook groove 61 can be formed as a turned-up edge portion of the outer wall 3.

[0097] Figure 7a shows a plan view of the drawer side 1 without the outer wall 3 and with the spacer 4. It can be clearly seen in this figure that the spacer 4 covers at least 1 / 4 of the surface of the inner wall 2.

[0098] FIG. 7b shows a cross section of FIG. 7a.

[0099] 7c shows a detailed view of the portion of the first overhang 81 in the area where it is in contact with the spacer 4. This portion is the edge of the lead-in surface 53 of the first overhang 81.

[0100] 7d shows a detailed view of the part of the second ledge 82 in the area where the spacer 4 is in contact. The spacer is in contact in particular with the curved portion 10. This curved portion 10 is preferably arranged on the first step 91 of the second ledge 82.

[0101] Figure 8a shows an alternative embodiment of the drawer side panel 1. Compared to the embodiment shown in Figures 3a to 7d, the drawer side panel 1 has a smaller width and is therefore relatively long. In this embodiment too, a spacer 84 is clamped between a first overhang 81 and a second overhang 82. The first overhang 81 and the second overhang 82 are also configured to connect to the outer wall 3.

[0102] The spacer 4 has a predetermined breaking point 18, preferably a perforated hole, which allows the spacer 4 to be divided and allows drawer side plates 1 of different dimensions to be used.

[0103] Figure 8b shows an alternative embodiment with different dimensions. In particular, the drawer side panels are shorter than those shown in Figure 8a but are the same width as those shown in Figure 8a. Thus, the spacer 4 shown in Figure 8a is excessively long for the drawer side panel 1 shown in Figure 8b, but has an appropriate width.

[0104] The spacer 4 (shown in Figure 8a) can be broken along the target breaking point 18, in particular without tools. The broken part of the spacer 4 continues to be used as the spacer 4 and is clamped between at least one first overhang 81 and at least one second overhang 82. The broken part is therefore also fitted into the drawer side panel 1 of Figure 8b.
