Description

[0001] The present application is a continuation of International Application PCT / AT2024 / 060231 filed on Jun. 18, 2024. Thus, all of the subject matter of International Application PCT / AT2024 / 060231 is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention relates to an assembly comprising a furniture fitting, which is metallic at least in some areas, in particular an arm hinge, flap fitting, and / or body rail, and a furniture body and / or a movable furniture part mountable in a movable manner on a furniture body, in particular a furniture flap, wherein the at least one furniture fitting is arranged on the furniture body and / or on the movable furniture part. Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture having at least one such an assembly. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such an assembly, in particular such a piece of furniture.

[0003] Such an assembly is already known from the prior art, wherein the at least one furniture fitting is screwed onto a corresponding hole 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 preliminary processing steps such as core drilling, thread tapping, etc. and there are high demands on dimensional tolerances in order to fix the components to be connected relative to one another without stresses 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 its service life can be reduced. If the tightening torque is insufficient, there is a risk of the at least one furniture fitting detaching from the furniture body or movable furniture part. In addition, a tensile force conveyed via the screw can cause undesired play between the component parts involved during assembly, which impairs the visual appearance of the assembly and increases the tendency for contamination. This play is also usually deliberately accepted in order to create a collection space for shavings produced during assembly, so that the participating surfaces are not scratched. Furthermore, tests have shown that a large number of screw connections are required to be able to ensure sufficient stability and / or strength of the attachment for typical forces acting on the at least one furniture fitting in use. Furthermore, screw connections as a type of fixing require installation space (for example, in the form of nuts, screw heads, or the like), wherein there is the risk of collisions with other component parts of the assembly and the fastening of the assembly can be made less compact.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide an assembly improved over the prior art and a method, with which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated, and which is distinguished in particular by a connection that is convenient and quick to produce, secure, and solid and / or a reduced number of required connecting means and / or a solid seat of the connected component parts to reduce contamination.

[0006] Therefore, according to the invention, the at least one furniture fitting is connected to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part at at least one attachment point by at least one nailed connection via at least one nail on at least one fastening surface of the at least one furniture fitting.

[0007] This makes it possible for the first time for the manufacturing and / or assembly process of the assembly to be faster and simpler since no preparatory processing steps are necessary and the at least one nail can be fired or nailed conveniently—for example, via an nail gun—to produce the at least one nailed connection in the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part.

[0008] The at least one nailed connection offers the advantage that a compressive force can be conveyed on the at least one nail—caused, for example, by a necking in the course of introducing the at least one nail—counter to the traction force of the screw in the prior art, so that a play provided due to component tolerances or for assembly purposes can be compensated and a solid connection can be created, wherein a contamination of an optically visible area of the assembly in the area of the at least one furniture fitting can be reduced in a usage state of the assembly and / or a service life can be extended.

[0009] A hold between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable furniture part can be enhanced by the at least one nailed connection—in particular via a necking caused by the at least one nailed connection between wood, wood-like material, or plastic and the metallic material of the at least one furniture fitting. The components fixed relative to one another via the at least one nailed connection particularly favorably press against one another at a desired positioning (preferably in a vertical direction upwards in the usage state).

[0010] Due to the improved hold to be generated of the at least one nailed connection on the furniture body and / or movable furniture part, a number of connecting points can be reduced.

[0011] The at least one action can be generated by plastic deformation via a displacement of material, wherein a conical penetration of the nail into metal—in particular steel—can be effectuated by firing through the solid material (alternatively a pilot hole is generally conceivable) with a solid hold.

[0012] In addition, there is the positive property that standard fittings can be used and holes or grains are not necessary. Preferably, the at least one is arranged at the at least one action essentially flush with adjacent material and can possibly be introduced by means of plastic and / or elastic deformation completely flush and / or with a slight depression relative to the surrounding material.

[0013] The at least one nail is preferably in the form of tempered steel—particularly preferably tempered, annealed, and / or galvanized.

[0014] Preferably, the metallic material of the at least one furniture fitting is in the form of steel. In general, other metallic materials, for example aluminum, can be used.

[0015] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture, wherein the piece of furniture comprises at least one such assembly.

[0016] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for producing such an assembly, in particular such a piece of furniture, wherein the following method steps are carried out:

[0017] at least one furniture fitting made of metal, at least in some areas, and a furniture body and / or a movable furniture part are provided.

[0018] at least one fastening surface of the at least one furniture fitting is brought into contact flatly on the at least one connection point of the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part

[0019] 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 nailed connection via at least one nail.

[0020] Pilot holes are not necessary on the at least one furniture fitting and / or the furniture body or movable furniture part, wherein a spacing between the at least one furniture fitting and the at least one connection point for receiving shavings also does not have to be taken into consideration in order to protect the opposing surfaces from scratching.

[0021] The at least one furniture fitting can be formed in some areas 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-materials other than metal are generally also conceivable at the at least one fastening surface, however.

[0022] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one furniture fitting comprises a hinge cup, wherein the at least one nailed 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 nailed connection is arranged on the mounting plate, preferably on a fastening tab of the mounting plate.

[0023] In general, the hinge cup is provided for contact on movable furniture parts and the mounting plate is provided for fixing on the furniture body, wherein a band arm can represent the element connecting the mounting plate and the hinge cup. A nailed connection on the band arm is also conceivable, but the adjustment mechanisms typically arranged on the band arm (such as lateral, depth, and / or vertical adjustment) would be limited in this case.

[0024] It is possible to arrange the nailed connection inside the hinge cup, but a nailed connection outside the hinge cup on a fastening web or a plurality of fastening webs, preferably protruding transversely from the hinge cup, is preferred.

[0025] The fastening tabs particularly preferably protrude transversely from the mounting plate to facilitate introduction of the nails and / or to reduce a risk of collision with adjacent furniture fitting parts.

[0026] The number and / or orientation of fastening webs, fastening tabs, and fastening surfaces is arbitrary in general.

[0027] 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 having a fastening leg of a profile of the guide system, wherein the at least one nailed connection is arranged on the fastening leg.

[0028] The fastening leg—generally provided as an integral part of the body rail—can comprise at least one opening (possibly having a thread), at least one recess, and / or at least one graining to facilitate proper positioning of the nailed connections and / or to provide additional screw connections for additional fixing or increased stability, wherein this is generally not mandatory.

[0029] Advantageously, at least one fastening surface is designed as a deep-drawn or embossed area 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 at least one fastening surface is designed as a thinned area of the profile, wherein it is preferably provided that the thinned area is produced in the course of profiling the part of the guide system.

[0031] By locally reducing the material thickness, the application of force required to fire the nail through the (generally metal) fastening surface can be reduced.

[0032] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one furniture fitting comprises a housing having a housing plate, wherein the at least one nailed connection is arranged on the housing plate, preferably on a tab of the housing plate. Preferably, the at least one furniture fitting comprises a mechanical lever device and / or an electrical drive device.

[0033] The housing plate can represent a component part separate from the housing or a component of the housing connected integrally or by material bonding to 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 is that the at least one furniture fitting comprises a positioning arm, wherein the at least one fastening surface is arranged at an end of the housing facing away from the positioning arm and / or on at least one lateral surface of the housing adjacent to the positioning arm. This allows torques and tensile or compressive loads to be absorbed particularly favorably via the at least one nailed connection.

[0036] It is particularly preferred that the at least one nailed connection is introduced 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 furniture part.

[0037] A closed and / or flat fastening surface and / or connection point are particularly efficient to produce, wherein a flat contact of the at least one furniture fitting before the introduction of the at least one nail is favored, so that a particularly solid fixing of the at least one furniture fitting can be ensured.

[0038] According to a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention, the at least one fastening surface has a reduced thickness in relation to the material thickness of an adjacent area of the at least one furniture fitting and / or a base material of the at least one furniture fitting. An application of force required to introduce the at least one nailed connection can thus be reduced.

[0039] It has proven to be advantageous if the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part is made of wood, wood-like material, or plastic. For example, the wood-like material comprises cardboard, chipboard material, and a honeycomb panel, wherein, for example, a honeycomb structure made of cardboard is provided and the honeycomb structure is glued and / or adhesively bonded to a cover layer—preferably made of wood, plastic, paper, or metal. A cover layer can generally be provided, but this is not necessary.

[0040] However, other materials suitable for a nailed connection are also generally conceivable.

[0041] It is furthermore preferable that the at least one nail has a longitudinal extension between 13 mm and 20 mm, preferably between 14 mm and 16 mm. The length dimensions can ensure secure fixing, wherein undesired through holes or dents can be prevented.

[0042] Preferably, a nail shaft diameter is between 1 mm and 3 mm, particularly preferably between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm. Preferably, the nail shaft tip has a ballistic design.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the at least one nail has a nail shaft and a nail head, preferably spaced apart 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 made of 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.

[0044] With an elliptical or circular nail head, the risk of injury from sharp edges and / or manufacturing-related burrs is reduced. Nails made of hardened steel can prevent unwanted deformation when piercing metal. Due to the nail head diameter, an elastic and / or plastic deformation of the components to be connected can be kept within a desired range, wherein a visual appearance of the assembly can be enhanced and / or a substantially flush termination of the nail head with the surrounding material can be generated.

[0045] Nail head diameters between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm—preferably between 1.7 mm and 2.2 mm—are also applicable.

[0046] According to one advantageous embodiment of the invention, the nail head comprises at least one notch, preferably provided as an embossing and / or in the form of two notches oriented orthogonally to one another and / or as a hexagon socket or Torx contour, for removing the at least one nail from the at least one furniture fitting, preferably via a screwdriver.

[0047] Particularly preferably, the at least one notch is produced during a setting process or by the firing (or generally by the introduction of the nail, such as hammering) via a nail gun on the nail head. In general, the nail head is sufficiently soft in comparison to the nail shaft to allow the at least one notch to be introduced into the nail when establishing the at least one nailed connection. This allows the nail to be flexibly adapted to a desired disassembly means during the production process without any preliminary processing.

[0048] The at least one notch can also comprise other contours suitable for removal—such as a hexagon socket contour, Torx contour, Phillips screwdriver contour, slotted screwdriver contour, Allen contour, or the like.

[0049] Preferably, the nail shaft comprises at least one profile, preferably formed as a corrugated in and / or provided in the form of a thread, for removing the at least one nail from the at least one furniture fitting, preferably via a screwdriver.

[0050] Despite the at least one profile, the nail can be nailed or fired into the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or the movable furniture part (without rotation). In the prior art, the screw has to be screwed in via the thread. Unscrewing the nail analagously to a screw is still possible via the at least one profile.

[0051] Particularly preferably, the component parts are connected to one another via the at least one nailed connection so they are detachable by the at least one notch and / or the at least one profiling in order to maintain this advantage of possible disassembly without pliers as with the conventional screw connection and at the same time to retain the positive properties of the at least one nailed connection.

[0052] It is particularly preferable that the at least one furniture fitting is formed without an opening and / or recess 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 at least in the area of the at least one nailed connection, preferably before a connection by the at least one nail and / or except for a connection opening generated by the at least one nail.

[0053] By introducing at least one nailed connection, it is possible to leave the component parts to be connected without openings, such as holes, and / or recesses, such as grains or similar depressions, in the area of the at least one connection point and the at least one fastening surface for the nailed connection. This means that such preparatory process steps can be omitted, making the manufacturing chain more efficient and / or simpler.

[0054] According to an advantageous embodiment, in the area of the at least one connection point and / or in the area of the at least one fastening surface, a necking is formed between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part via the at least one nailed connection. The at least one furniture fitting is pressed against the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, and preferably in a usage state of the assembly, the at least one furniture fitting is pushed upwards in a vertical direction by the necking and / or is pressed against the furniture body and / or movable furniture part.

[0055] In this context, the technical term “necking” refers to the plastic deformation of metal into another material (during the introduction of the nailed connection) in order to create the connection between at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable furniture part. In general, in the at least one necking, 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).

[0056] A particularly solid connection can be ensured by the at least one necking. A friction lock can be generated along a connection opening and / or a form fit can be generated orthogonally to the connection opening, preferably via 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.

[0057] According to a preferred embodiment, 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 upward, can be or is compensated for by pressure or by tension by the at least one nailed connection, preferably by a possibly existing necking.

[0058] Manufacturing-related component tolerances and / or plays provided for simplifying assembly can be compensated for—for example, by pressing on via the at least one nailed connection—by the at least one nailed connection and particularly effectively by at least one necking. If there is no free space between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body or movable furniture part, contamination of the assembly can be reduced. In general, however, gaps can alternatively or additionally be concealed by aperture elements to reduce contamination and / or to improve an aesthetic appearance.

[0059] Preferably, the at least one nail is countersunk into the at least one fastening surface and / or the at least one fastening surface is designed such that the at least one nail is arranged completely below the at least one fastening surface.

[0060] If the at least one nail or nail head is arranged below the at least one fastening surface (in particular, completely arranged deeper than the at least one associated fastening surface), a collision with the at least one nailed connection can be prevented, a larger installation space can be provided, the risk of injury can be reduced, and / or the overall visual impression can be improved. In general, alternatively or additionally, at least one fastening surface that is lower or countersunk in relation to the adjacent area can be provided, so that at least one nail does not protrude.

[0061] Preferably, the at least one nail is removed from the assembly, preferably by a screwdriver, via at least one notch arranged on a nail head and / or via at least one profile arranged on a nail shaft.

[0062] The at least one furniture fitting can thus be removed after completed assembly in spite of the at least one nailed connection, for example, to perform maintenance or repair work, by which a service life of the assembly can be lengthened. Usually, in the case of nailed connections, the nail has to be laboriously removed via pliers, wherein removal can be carried out in a user-friendly manner via a screwdriver due to the at least one notch and / or the at least one profile (such as a thread which can be fired into the material).

[0063] It has proven to be advantageous that in a preparatory method step immediately before the introduction of the at least one nailed connection, the at least one furniture fitting and / or the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part is provided without an opening and / or recessed at least in the area of the at least one nailed connection, preferably before a connection by the at least one nail and / or except for a connection opening to be generated via the at least one nail.

[0064] According to a preferred variant of the invention, in the course of the introduction of the at least one nailed connection in the area of the at least one connection point, a necking is formed between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part via the at least one nailed connection. The at least one furniture fitting is pressed against the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, and preferably in a usage state of the assembly, the at least one furniture fitting is pushed upwards in a vertical direction relative to the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part by the necking and / or is pressed against the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part.

[0065] It is preferable that a play between the at least one furniture fitting and the furniture body and / or the movable furniture part, preferably in the vertical direction upward, is compensated for by pressure or by tension on the at least one furniture fitting by the at least one nailed connection, preferably by a possibly existing necking.

[0066] Advantageously, at least one notch is provided in a nail head of the at least one nail during the provision of the at least one nailed connection, preferably via a nail gun.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
