Description

[0001] The invention relates to a tray for a cabinet drawer, having at least one attachment body for attaching to a drawer frame of the cabinet drawer which can be pulled out from a cabinet body, and a tray base body with a receiving region for storing items.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a cabinet drawer, in particular tall cabinet drawer or base cabinet drawer, with a drawer frame which can be pulled out from a cabinet body and a tray attached to the drawer frame.

[0003] In addition, the invention relates to a cabinet, in particular tall cabinet or base cabinet, with a cabinet body and a cabinet drawer which is mounted in the cabinet body.

[0004] The trays known from practice in the kitchen furniture industry are often a combination of different materials. The bottom of the trays is usually made of a wooden panel. There are various solutions for the railing. These can be made of wire, sheet metal, or glass. The tray is suspended in the pull-out provided for this purpose either by hooks made directly from the wire or sheet metal or by additional plastic parts. The various components of the tray are glued together to connect them and stabilize the tray itself. This means that it is no longer possible to separate the materials cleanly at the end of the product life cycle in terms of recyclability or sustainability. In addition, the individual components and manufacturing steps are cost-intensive.

[0005] In addition to these trays made of different materials, there are already trays that are made entirely of one material, such as wire or sheet metal. However, these have only a restricted ease of use. Attaching and detaching the trays can cause damage to the frame. Furthermore, when opening or closing the drawer, the mechanical coupling between the tray and the frame causes rattling noises, which give the user the impression of low product quality.

[0006] The aim of the invention is therefore to develop a tray that is as sustainable, recyclable, and cost-effective as possible, which can be used for drawers in kitchen furniture and ensures the greatest possible ease of use. Furthermore, the tray should be able to absorb tensile forces and thus stabilize the drawer when mounted.

[0007] The task is solved by a tray of the type mentioned at the beginning, wherein the at least one attachment body and the tray base body form a plug-in system, by means of which the attachment body is plug-connected to the tray base body in a reversibly and non-destructively detachable manner.

[0008] The at least one attachment body and the tray base body are preferably connected to each other without bonding. Due to the plug-connection, bonding of the at least one attachment body and the tray base body is no longer necessary. The plug-in system reduces manufacturing costs and allows the materials to be separated cleanly at any time. In the plug-connected state, all degrees of translational freedom of the at least one attachment body in relation to the tray base body are preferably blocked. The tray base body can, for example, be a finished part dropping out of a machine or be made of sheet metal. The individual manufacturing steps and costs of a multi-part tray are reduced to a minimum by the plug-in system. In order to avoid the disadvantages in terms of ease of use of a pure sheet metal or wire tray, a plug-in system is used in which the attachment body and the tray base body are fastened to each other via a plug-in connection.

[0009] Thanks to the plug-in system, the attachment body and the tray base body do not have to be joined together at the factory. The attachment body and the tray base body can be plugged together by the installer when assembling the cabinet drawer on site. This makes it possible to pack and transport the attachment body and the tray base body separately. The tray base body can include an angled railing that allows several tray base bodies to be stacked inside each other, resulting in significantly smaller packaging dimensions and thus a cost and handling advantage over conventional trays. Conventional trays can usually not be stacked inside each other, and the resulting packaging volume is correspondingly significantly larger. The plug-in connection reduces the number of components and eliminates the need for adhesives, resulting in 100% separability of the materials.

[0010] The tray according to the invention is further advantageously designed in that the at least one attachment body and the tray base body are latched together by the plug-in system via a latch-fit connection. During the plug-connecting of the attachment body and the tray base body, a latching takes place in which, for example, the attachment body and / or the tray base body are locked into place. The latch-fit connection between the at least one attachment body and the tray base body can be designed to be reversible and non-destructive.

[0011] In another preferred embodiment of the tray according to the invention, the at least one attachment body is formed in one piece and / or from plastic. The attachment body can, for example, be a one-piece plastic part, in particular a one-piece plastic injection molded part. Alternatively or additionally, the tray base body can be formed in one piece and / or from metal. For example, the tray base body can be formed as a sheet metal part or wire mesh part. The tray base body can also be made of glass and / or wood and / or plastic and / or a composite material.

[0012] In an advantageous further development of the tray according to the invention, the at least one attachment body has an L-shaped basic form. The at least one attachment body preferably has two legs, for example a bottom leg and a railing leg. The legs can form an angle of between 90 and 130°to each other.

[0013] In an advantageous further development of the tray according to the invention, the receiving region of the tray base body comprises a bottom and the at least one attachment body has a bottom leg which extends along the bottom of the tray base body and / or fills an interruption or recess in the bottom of the tray base body and / or continues the bottom of the tray base body. The base preferably provides a storage surface for storing the items to be stored. The bottom of the tray base body can be formed by a flat material, for example a sheet metal section. The bottom of the tray base body can be formed by a wire structure, for example a wire mesh. The bottom of the tray base body can also be made of glass and / or wood and / or plastic and / or a composite material.

[0014] In another preferred embodiment of the tray according to the invention, the bottom leg of the at least one attachment body comprises an engagement projection and the bottom of the tray base body comprises a freeing adapted to the shape of the engagement projection. The engagement projection of the bottom leg preferably engages in the freeing of the bottom in a non-destructively and reversibly detachable manner. The freeing may be a lateral material recessed part or a recess, respectively a hole in the bottom of the tray base body. The engagement projection may, for example, be an elongated engagement bridge or an elongated material extension.

[0015] Furthermore, a tray according to the invention is preferred in which the bottom of the tray base body comprises a bottom-side fastening element. The bottom leg of the at least one attachment body preferably comprises a receiving contour adapted to the shape of the bottom-side fastening element. The bottom-side fastening element of the tray base body is preferably clamped in the receiving contour of the bottom leg in a non-destructively and reversibly detachable manner. The bottom-side fastening element can be formed by a section of a metal wire if the tray is designed as a wire tray. The receiving contour is then, for example, a wire receiving recess.

[0016] The tray according to the invention is further advantageously designed in that the receiving region of the tray base body is, at least in sections, bounded laterally by a railing of the tray base body. The railing of the tray base body can, for example, be a sheet metal railing. The railing can be formed by a flat material. The railing can comprise cutouts.

[0019] Furthermore, a preferred tray according to the invention is one in which the railing leg of the at least one attachment body comprises two fixation regions that are preferably designed to be mirror-symmetrical to each other. Preferably, the railing of the tray base body comprises two fixation sections. A fixation section of the railing is reversibly and non-destructively detachably fixed in each of the fixation regions of the at least one attachment body in a force-fit and / or form-fit manner. In the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body, end sections of movable mounting flaps of the railing are preferably fixed in the direction of an interruption in the railing.

[0020] The tray according to the invention is further advantageously developed in that the railing is designed to be elastically deformable and, for fixing the fixation sections of the railing in the fixation regions of the railing leg and for releasing the fixation of the fixation sections of the railing in the fixation regions of the railing leg, an elastic deformation of the railing is required. The elastic deformation of the railing can, for example, cause the fixation sections of the railing to be latched into the fixation regions of the railing leg and / or released from them.

[0021] Furthermore, a tray according to the invention is preferred in which the fixation regions of the railing leg have lateral mounting slots, wherein the fixation sections of the railing are to be pressed into the lateral mounting slots for fixing in the fixation regions of the railing leg and for releasing from the fixation regions of the railing leg are to be pulled out from the lateral mounting slots. By pressing the fixation sections of the railing into the lateral mounting slots, the fixation sections of the railing can be latched into the fixation regions of the railing leg. By pulling the fixation sections of the railing out of the lateral mounting slots, the latching of the fixation sections of the railing in the lateral mounting slots can be released.

[0022] Furthermore, a tray according to the invention is preferred in which the fixation sections of the railing each have a latch projection, wherein the lateral mounting slots each contain a latch pocket, into each of which a latch projection of a fixation section of the railing is reversibly and non-destructively detachably latched. The latch projections of the railing can, for example, be designed as locking lugs which can be latched into the latch pocket within the lateral mounting slots.

[0023] In another preferred embodiment of the tray according to the invention, the fixation regions of the railing leg each comprise at least one outer receiving recess and the fixation sections of the railing each comprise at least one railing-side fastening element. The railing-side fastening element is preferably jammed into the outer receiving recess and / or latched in the outer receiving recess in a non-destructively and reversibly detachable manner. The railing-side fastening element can be formed by a section of a metal wire if the tray is designed as a wire tray. The outer receiving recess may, for example, be a wire receiving recess if the tray is designed as a wire tray.

[0024] A tray according to the invention is also preferred in which there is a latch projection in each of the outer receiving recesses, by which the respective railing-side fastening element is latched. The latch projection in the respective outer receiving recesses can, for example, be a latching edge or a latching bridge.

[0025] Furthermore, a tray according to the invention is preferred in which the tray can be mounted without tools in a mounting operation, wherein the tray is designed to be mounted in the following steps:

[0026] arranging of the at least one attachment body in an initial mounting position on the tray base body in such a way that an engagement projection of a bottom leg of the attachment body engages in a freeing of the bottom of the tray base body,

[0027] moving out of mounting flaps of the railing of the tray base body, in particular by elastically deforming the railing, in order to release a mounting area for a railing leg of the attachment body,

[0028] pivoting of the at least one attachment body from the initial mounting position into a final mounting position in which the railing leg of the attachment body is located in the mounting region,

[0029] moving the mounting flaps of the railing of the tray base body inward, in particular by reshaping of the railing after elastic deformation, in order to pre-positioning of fixation sections of the railing at fixation regions of the railing leg,

[0030] jamming and / or latching of the fixation sections of the railing in the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body by pressing the fixation sections of the railing into the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body.

[0031] For example, when pressed into the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body, the fixation sections of the railing are pressed into lateral mounting slots in the fixation regions of the railing leg and jammed or latched in these. For example, when pressed into the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body, the fixation sections of the railing are pressed into outer receiving recesses in the fixation regions of the railing leg and jammed or latched into place in these. Preferably, the tray can be dismantled without tools by means of a dismantling process, wherein the tray is designed to be dismantled by means of the following steps:

[0032] releasing a jam and / or latching of the fixation sections of the railing in the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body by pressing or pulling the fixation sections of the railing out of the fixation regions of the railing leg of the at least one attachment body,

[0075] FIG. 1 shows a cabinet drawer 200 which can be used, for example, in a tall cabinet or in a base cabinet. The cabinet drawer 200 can thus be, for example, a tall cabinet drawer or a base cabinet drawer.

[0076] The cabinet drawer 200 has a drawer frame 100 that can be pulled out from a cabinet body. Furthermore, the cabinet drawer 200 comprises several trays 10a-10e attached to the drawer frame 100. The trays 10a-10e each comprise a receiving region 11 for items to be stored.

[0077] The drawer frame 100 comprises a first upright support strut 102a and a second upright support strut 102b. The support struts 102a, 102b are connected to each other at their lower ends via the connecting strut 104a and at their upper ends via the connecting strut 104b. The support struts 102a, 102b and the connecting struts 104a, 104b together form a support frame for the trays 10a-10e.

[0078] The first support strut 102a has a fastening side 106a facing the trays 10a-10e. The second support strut 102b also has a fastening side 106b facing the trays 10a-10e. The trays 10a-10e are fastened to the fastening sides 106a, 106b of the support struts 102a, 102b.

[0079] The support struts 102a, 102b run parallel to each other, with the fastening side 106a of the first support strut 102a and the fastening side 106b of the second support strut 102b facing each other. The receiving region 11 of the trays 10a-10e is located between the first support strut 102a and the second support strut 102b.

[0080] FIG. 2 shows an upright support strut 102 of a drawer frame. Several trays with a receiving region for items to be stored can be attached to the support strut 102 on a fastening side 106. The support strut 102 has an elongated guide deepening 110 on the fastening side 106 for receiving and guiding guide projections of the trays. The support strut 102 also has a rear side 108, which, when the support strut 102 is used in a drawer frame, is located on the side facing away from the trays.

[0081] The elongated guide deepening 110 of the support strut 102 has two guide cheeks 112a, 112b and a rearwardly offset deepening base 114 that connects the two guide cheeks 112a, 112b to each other. In the deepening base 114 are located several hook openings 116. The hook openings 116 are used to hook in fastening hooks for trays. Due to the design of the hook openings 116 in the guide base 114, the hook openings 116 are located in the elongated guide deepening 110. The hook openings 116 are arranged at equal distances from each other. Furthermore, the hook openings 116 are arranged along a longitudinal axis of the support strut 102.

[0082] FIG. 3 shows the cross-section of the support strut 102. The guide cheeks 112a, 112b of the guide deepening 110 run parallel to each other.

[0083] On the fastening side 106 of the support strut 102, there are front surfaces 118a, 118b next to the guide deepening 110. The front surfaces 118a, 118b are arranged to the side of the guide deepening 110 and run parallel to the deepening base 114. The support strut 102 also has side surfaces 120a, 120b, which extend between the fastening side 106 and the rear side 108.

[0084] The support strut 102 also comprises two profiled corner recesses 122a, 122b, in which the corners of the support strut 102 have a concave corner profile. The corner recesses 122a, 122b each create a shadow gap, which makes the support strut 102 appear more delicate in appearance while offering almost the same stability as a support strut without corner recesses.

[0085] The support strut 102 is designed as a profile tube and has a closed cross-section beyond the hook openings, surrounding a cavity 124.

[0086] The support strut 102, which is designed as a profile tube, is a one-piece metal strut with a constant material thickness. The material thickness of the support strut 102 is less than 2 mm.

[0087] FIG. 4 shows, using tray 10c as an example, that the trays 10a-10e can be removed reversibly and non-destructively by tilting them lengthwise from support struts 102a, 102b. To hang trays 10a-10e in the drawer frame 100, the respective trays 10a-10e must also be positioned at an angle between support struts 102a, 102b so that a first fastening hook of the trays 10a-10e is hooked into a hook opening 116 of a support strut 102a. The upwardly inclined side of the tray 10a-10e is then lowered so that a second fastening hook of the respective tray 10a-10e is hooked into a hook opening 116 of the other support strut 102b. This is possible because the respective trays 10a-10e are hooked into hook openings 116 of the first support strut 102a and the second support strut 102b, which are offset in height relative to each other, and because the fastening hooks arranged on the opposite short sides of the trays 10a-10e also each have a corresponding height offset relative to each other, so that the trays 10a-10e are horizontally aligned after being hooked in. The first support strut 102a and the second support strut 102b are structurally identical and thus have hook openings 116 at the same height. However, the two hook openings 116 into which the respective trays 10a-10e are hooked are located at different heights. The trays 10a-10e thus have an upper fastening hook on one short side and a lower fastening hook on the other short side.

[0088] FIG. 5 shows another cabinet drawer 200 with a drawer frame 100 and several trays 10a-10e hooked into the drawer frame 100.

[0089] The drawer frame 100 has two support struts 102a, 102b. The fastening side 106a of the first support strut 102a and the fastening side 106b of the second support strut 102b point in the same direction. The receiving regions 11 of the trays 10a-10e are therefore located in front of the first support strut 102a and in front of the second support strut 102b. The hook openings 116 of the first support strut 102a and the hook openings 116 of the second support strut 102b are located at the same height. This means that the rear-side fastening hooks of the trays 10a-10e can also be at the same height.

[0090] FIG. 6 shows a cabinet drawer 200 with two drawer frames 100a, 100b. The drawer frame 100a corresponds essentially in its construction to the drawer frame 100 shown in FIG. 5, wherein a total of six trays 10a-10f are attached to the drawer frame 100a. The drawer frame 100b can, for example, be attached to a swiveling body front and be swiveled out of the cabinet body by a swiveling movement of the cabinet front. The drawer frame 100b comprises a central support strut 102 to which six trays 10a′-10f′ are attached. The trays 10a′-10f′ are each hooked into the hook openings of the support strut 102 in a reversible and non-destructive manner via a fastening hook.

[0091] FIG. 7 shows a tray 10 that has been hooked in. The tray 10 has a tray base body 12 with a receiving region for items to be stored. Furthermore, the tray 10 comprises two attachment bodies 14a, 14b, by means of which the tray 10 is fastened to the support struts 102a, 102b of the drawer frame 100. The attachment bodies 14a, 14b each have a fastening hook, wherein the fastening hook of the attachment body 14a is hooked into a hook opening 116 of the support strut 102a and the fastening hook of the attachment body 14b is hooked into a hook opening of the support strut 102b.

[0092] FIG. 8 shows the tray 10 without the drawer frame 100. The attachment bodies 14a, 14b and the tray base body 12 form a plug-in system via which the attachment bodies 14a, 14b are reversibly and non-destructively detachably plug-connected to the tray base body 12. The attachment bodies 14a, 14b and the tray base body 12 are each latched together by the plug-in system via a latch-fit connection. The attachment bodies 14a, 14b are one-piece plastic bodies. The tray base body 12 is a one-piece metal body made of sheet metal. In this case, the tray 10 is therefore a sheet metal tray. Alternatively, the tray base body 12 can also be made of glass and / or wood and / or plastic and / or a composite material.

[0093] The receiving region 11 of the tray base body 12 comprises a bottom 16. The bottom 16 provides a storage surface for placing the items to be stored.
