Description

[0001] Swiveling furniture dowel

[0002] The invention relates to a pivotable furniture dowel for connecting furniture parts, for example for connecting wood-based panels at right angles, wherein the furniture dowel has at least one dowel bolt. The invention further relates to an arrangement with at least one pivotable furniture dowel and a first furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer side, wherein the furniture dowel has at least one dowel bolt. Finally, the invention relates to a method for connecting a first furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer side, to a second furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer bottom, by means of at least one pivotable furniture dowel.

[0003] A large number of furniture connectors are known and widely used. Simple plug-in connections with wooden dowels inserted into drilled holes are ubiquitous. In a first step, the dowel is usually glued into a front hole in a panel. A significant advantage is that the dowel does not protrude beyond the panel surface and thus only slightly increases the component length in terms of packaging. This means that the dowel can already be inserted when the furniture parts are delivered disassembled. There is no need to add the loose connecting parts.

[0004] In the area of ​​self-assembly furniture, screwed-in bolts with ball heads, which are held by eccentric cups, are very common. For angled connections of the panels, the bolt is preferably screwed into the surface of the first panel. The second panel has a front hole for the bolt and a corresponding surface hole for the eccentric cup. In the pre-assembled state, the bolt projects beyond the surface of the panel. This is extremely unfavorable from a packaging perspective. For this reason, the bolts are usually included unsealed. This preparatory work must therefore be carried out by the furniture fitter. If furniture is to be assembled by the end customer, it is a considerable effort to explain to them the correct assembly and positioning of all the bolts.

[0005] A further disadvantage of the furniture dowels known from the state of the art is that when they are used in connection with particularly plate-shaped furniture parts, there is a risk that the furniture parts will be damaged in the direction of low material coverage and that the furniture dowels will subsequently lose their hold.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to at least partially eliminate the disadvantages known from the prior art and, according to a first aspect of the invention, to provide an improved pivotable furniture dowel which is characterized in particular in that it minimizes the risk of damage to a furniture part in the direction of low material overlap. Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the invention, an improved arrangement with at least one pivotable furniture dowel and a first furniture part is to be specified, which is characterized in particular in that the assembly effort is low and, at the same time, the smallest possible packaging size can be realized. Finally, a method which is improved compared to the prior art for connecting a first furniture part to a second furniture part by means of at least one pivotable furniture dowel is to be specified.

[0007] This object is achieved by the features of claims 1 , 10 and 16 .

[0008] According to a first aspect, the invention thus provides a pivotable furniture dowel for connecting furniture parts, for example for connecting wood-based panels at right angles, wherein the furniture dowel has at least one dowel bolt, and wherein the dowel bolt is designed such that it generates different jacket compression forces in a receiving borehole of one of the furniture parts at a predetermined angle of rotation of the furniture dowel relative to the furniture parts to be connected.

[0009] In this way it is possible, for example in the case of a plate-shaped furniture part, to design the dowel bolt in such a way that it generates high sheath pressing forces in a direction along the plane of the furniture plate and, in contrast, reduced sheath pressing forces in a direction transverse to the plane of the furniture plate, i.e. in a direction with a low material overlap, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0010] According to an advantageous embodiment of the furniture dowel, it can be provided that the dimension of the dowel bolt is larger in a first direction than in a second direction.

[0011] In this context, it has proven advantageous that the dowel bolt has a longitudinal axis and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other and each perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

[0012] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the dowel bolt is essentially oval or elliptical in cross-section.

[0013] It can also be provided that the dowel bolt has at least one pressure-reducing groove, preferably with the pressure-reducing groove running in the longitudinal direction of the dowel bolt. These measures, individually or in combination, allow different casing compression forces to be generated in a receiving borehole of one of the furniture parts in a technically simple manner.

[0014] There is an enormous variety of furniture boards in circulation. Their differences in technical parameters such as hardness and density are equally enormous. From an economic perspective, it is desirable to connect as many different boards as possible with a single dowel type as securely as possible. This is achieved, at least in part, by providing the dowel with a pressure-reducing groove that limits the contact forces.

[0015] It is advisable for the dowel bolt to have a dowel bolt extension, preferably tapered in cross-section and / or substantially circular. This design simplifies the insertion of the dowel bolt into a drilled hole.

[0016] It has proven advantageous for the furniture dowel to have at least one pivot pin for pivotable mounting in and / or on a first furniture part. This allows the furniture dowel to be pivotably mounted in and / or on the furniture part in a simple and reliable manner.

[0017] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the furniture dowel has at least one fastening device for clamping the furniture dowel in and / or on a first furniture part. In this context, it has proven advantageous for the fastening device to have a tension rod and at least one clamping surface which can be spread outwards above it, wherein the clamping surface is spread minimally outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation between the tension rod and the dowel bolt of more than 90° and less than 180°, preferably at a predetermined angle of rotation of approximately 100°, preferably wherein the clamping surface is spread maximally outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation of approximately 180°.

[0018] It can also be provided that the dowel bolt is rotatably mounted on the fastening device, preferably wherein the dowel bolt has at least one displacement contour which is mounted in a slot of the fastening device, wherein the slot can be widened by means of the at least one displacement contour upon rotation of the dowel bolt, and / or an upper side of the fastening device and an upper side of the dowel bolt can be arranged in a common plane at a predetermined angle of rotation between the fastening device and the dowel bolt of approximately 90°.

[0019] According to a second aspect of the invention, an arrangement is provided with at least one pivotable furniture dowel and a first furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer side, wherein the furniture dowel has at least one dowel bolt, and wherein the furniture dowel is pre-assembled in a rest state in a first furniture part so as to be rotatable, preferably about a pivot axis transverse to a longitudinal axis of the dowel bolt, and the dowel bolt is arranged within an outer shell of the first furniture part in the rest state of the furniture dowel, ie does not protrude beyond the outer shell of the first furniture part.

[0020] On the one hand, this reduces assembly effort, as it's clear to the installer where the furniture dowel is used. On the other hand, the first piece of furniture, including the furniture dowel, can be packaged particularly compactly, as the dowel bolt is positioned within the outer shell of the first piece of furniture when not in use, which corresponds to the transport or shipping state.

[0021] According to an advantageous embodiment of the arrangement, it is provided that the dowel bolt protrudes vertically from one of the outer surfaces of the first furniture part in a working state.

[0022] In this context, it has proven advantageous for the arrangement to comprise at least one second furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer base, and for the second furniture part to have at least one drilled hole in which the dowel bolt arranged in the working state is at least partially received. In addition, it can be provided that the second furniture part has layer planes which run essentially parallel to an outer surface of the second furniture part, and that the dimension of the dowel bolt in a first direction parallel to the layer planes is greater than in a second direction at right angles to the layer planes, so that higher casing pressing forces can be generated along the first direction than along the second direction.

[0023] A more detailed explanation of an advantageous embodiment of the invention can be given using the connection of a drawer side frame to a drawer base. In modern drawer systems, these parts are delivered individually and loose to the furniture manufacturer, usually even from different suppliers. High packing density is an absolute must. Additional loose assembly components are undesirable. If the first furniture part is designed as a panel, the pivoting dowel can, for example, be integrated flush with the panel when in use. When assembling with a second furniture part, for example also designed as a panel, the dowel is turned 90 degrees so that it protrudes vertically from the surface of the first panel. The second panel has a hole to accommodate the dowel bolt. The dowel bolt of the dowel can be driven into the associated drill hole using pressing devices, for example, or in a very simple case, with a hammer.

[0024] Furniture boards can be described as homogeneous materials. However, in almost all cases they are made up of layers. This means that the splitting behavior varies greatly depending on the direction of the layers. If a dowel is pressed into an MDF board perpendicular to the surface into a hole with a diameter that is too small, the force required to pull the dowel out is very high, even without gluing. A considerable difference in diameter can be selected transverse to the board layers, thus achieving high surface pressure in the hole without destroying the board. However, if the cylinder axis of the dowel bolt is parallel to the layer planes, the layers will split even with small diameter differences.

[0025] When the pivoting dowel rotates around an axis perpendicular to the bolt axis, the dowel bolt is positioned at a defined angle of rotation. If the dowel bolt is designed as a rod with an oval or elliptical end face, it exerts different compressive forces in the circular hole in perpendicular directions depending on the angle of rotation. If, in the case of a bolt with an elliptical cross-section, the distance between the focal points of the elliptical bolt is placed parallel to the layer planes, the bolt exerts very low compressive forces in the drilled hole perpendicular to the layer planes but very high compressive forces along the plate layer planes.

[0026] Despite high surface pressures in the hole, this prevents the panel from splitting. The force difference is proportional to the distance between the focal points. Even without gluing the bolts, considerable pull-out forces are required to release the connection. Harpoon-like ribs along the bolt body can provide additional support to prevent the connection from separating. Alternatively or additionally, it may be useful to extend the bolt at its insertable end with a circular tenon, which in turn is chamfered or rounded at its end. This considerably simplifies the insertion of the dowel bolt in the drilled hole.

[0027] It has proven advantageous that at least one receiving contour is recessed in the first furniture part, into which the dowel bolt is inserted in the rest state, and / or wherein the furniture dowel has at least one pivot pin, via which the furniture dowel is pivotably mounted in and / or on the first furniture part.

[0028] The swivel dowel can also be reduced in size by circular segments along the pivot pin. This allows insertion into the receiving contour only at a specific swivel angle. If the dowel is then swiveled into its rest position, it is prevented from accidentally falling out.

[0029] Another feature of typical dowel connections is that the drill holes, which each receive the dowel on one side, are concentric when in use. When connecting a drawer side frame to a drawer base, it can be advantageous for the dowel connection to have a tolerance travel in one direction. The dowel, which protrudes vertically in the working position, should be centered along the drawer base groove with as little play as possible, so that the front edge of the base is flush with the end face of the drawer side when all components are in use. A tolerance travel along the pivot axis of the dowel is very useful in this specific application, so that the base can be inserted more easily into the groove which is chamfered at the bottom. This function is necessary when the bases to be inserted are not completely flat. The same dowel can be used with or without this tolerance travel.The parameters for this are determined by the shape of the mounting contour, which also includes the pivot axis. The opposite hole of the second component is preferably circular and thus corresponds to a cylindrical bore. Excessive bore depth has no direct influence on the function of the connection.

[0030] In the event that the furniture dowel has at least one fastening device for clamping the furniture dowel in and / or on the first furniture part, it has proven advantageous for the fastening device to have a tension rod and at least one clamping surface which can be spread outwards above it, and wherein the clamping surface is spread minimally outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation between the tension rod and the dowel bolt of more than 90 ° and less than 180 °, preferably at a predetermined angle of rotation of approximately 100 °, and in this position assumes a fastening state in which the furniture dowel can be fastened in and / or on the first furniture part by means of the fastening device, preferably wherein the clamping surface is spread maximally outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation of approximately 180 °, which corresponds to the working state.

[0031] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for connecting a first furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer side, to a second furniture part, preferably in the form of a drawer bottom, by means of at least one pivotable furniture dowel according to the invention, the method comprising the following method steps: the furniture dowel is arranged at a predetermined angle of rotation relative to the furniture parts to be connected, the dowel bolt is received at least partially in a drilled hole in one of the furniture parts, and the dowel bolt generates different casing compression forces in the drilled hole.

[0032] According to an advantageous embodiment of the method, it is provided that the furniture dowel is fastened to the first furniture part in a first method step and / or from a rest state, in which the dowel bolt is arranged within an outer shell of the first furniture part, i.e. does not protrude beyond the outer shell of the first furniture part, into a working state in which the dowel bolt protrudes vertically from one of the outer surfaces of the first furniture part, pivoted and in the working state is received at least partially in the drill hole of one of the furniture parts.

[0033] In this context, it has proven advantageous for the furniture dowel to be attached to the first piece of furniture in a state different from the resting state and / or the working state.

[0034] Further details and advantages of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures and the drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 shows an arrangement with a pivotable furniture dowel 5 and a first furniture part 1 in the form of a drawer side, wherein the furniture dowel 5 has at least one dowel bolt 9. The furniture dowel 5 is in a rest state and is pre-assembled in the first furniture part 1 so as to be rotatable about a pivot axis D transverse to a longitudinal axis C of the dowel bolt 9 (see also Figure 3). In the rest state of the furniture dowel 5, the dowel bolt 9 is arranged within an outer shell of the first furniture part 1, i.e., it does not protrude beyond the outer shell of the first furniture part 1.

[0048] A receiving contour 3 is recessed in the drawer side 1. A pivoting dowel 5 is inserted into this receiving contour 3 in the rest position, so that its dowel pin 9 does not protrude beyond the outer shell of the furniture part. A base groove 10 can be provided to accommodate the edge of a drawer base.

[0049] Figure 2 shows the arrangement according to Figure 1, wherein the dowel bolt 9 is arranged in a working state, and wherein a second furniture part 2 is provided in the form of a drawer bottom,

[0050] In the working state, the dowel bolt 9 protrudes vertically from one of the outer surfaces of the first furniture part 1. In the case of a drawer side, the outer surface of the first furniture part 1 forms an inner surface of a drawer.

[0051] The second furniture part 2 has at least one drilled hole 4, into which the dowel bolt 9, arranged in the working state, can be received at least partially. For this purpose, the two furniture parts 1, 2 are moved relative to each other in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis C of the dowel bolt 9.

[0052] The angle of rotation of the furniture dowel 5 is provided with the reference number 13 .

[0053] Figure 3 shows an arrangement with a furniture dowel 5 and a second furniture part 2, wherein the dowel bolt 9 of the furniture dowel 5 is arranged in the working state. The furniture dowel 5 is used to connect furniture parts 1, 2, for example for connecting wood-based panels at right angles, wherein the furniture dowel 5 has a dowel bolt 9, wherein the dowel bolt 9 is designed such that it generates different jacket pressing forces in a receiving borehole 4 of one of the furniture parts 1, 2 at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 of the furniture dowel 5 relative to the furniture parts 1, 2 to be connected (cf. Figure 2).

[0054] The dimension of the dowel bolt 9 is larger in a first direction A than in a second direction B .

[0055] The dowel bolt 9 has a longitudinal axis C, which can also be referred to as the dowel bolt axis, and the first direction A and the second direction B run at right angles to each other and each at right angles to the longitudinal axis C.

[0056] The dowel bolt 9 has a substantially oval or elliptical cross-section.

[0057] The second furniture part 2 has layer planes 11, which can also be referred to as plate planes, which run essentially parallel to an outer surface 17 of the second furniture part 2, and the dimension of the dowel bolt 9 is larger in a first direction A parallel to the layer planes 11 than in a second direction B perpendicular to the layer planes 11, so that higher casing pressing forces can be generated along the first direction A, namely in the zones 12, than along the second direction B.

[0058] Figure 3 shows the layer planes 11 of the furniture board, which run parallel to the outer surface 17. The first direction A is also parallel to these layer planes 11 and at the same time perpendicular to the direction B and also perpendicular to the dowel bolt axis C. The oval in its

[0059] The dowel bolt 9 aligned with the angle of rotation 13 is wider in the first direction A than in the second direction B. This results in increased sheath compression forces in the zones 12 along the plate planes 11, while no or hardly any sheath compression forces act in the second direction B. The illustration of the pivot pin 7 is for orientation purposes. Its bearing determines the angle of rotation 13 of the oval dowel bolt 9.

[0060] Figure 3a ) shows the arrangement according to Figure 2 , wherein the furniture dowel is not yet attached to the first furniture part .

[0061] The furniture dowel 5 has at least one pivot pin 7 for pivotable mounting in and / or on a first furniture part 1.

[0062] In this exemplary embodiment, the pivot pin 7 represents a fastening device 14 for clamping the furniture dowel 5 in and / or on a first furniture part 1.

[0063] In the first furniture part 1 at least one receiving contour 3 is recessed, into which the dowel bolt 9 is inserted in the rest state.

[0064] As can be seen in particular from Figure 4, the dowel bolt 9 has at least one pressure reduction groove 8 and a dowel bolt extension 6 which is preferably tapered in cross section and / or substantially circular.

[0065] The pressure reduction groove 8 ensures that the driving forces do not become too high in very dense panel materials.

[0066] The circular dowel bolt extension 6 with its rounded section is also shown. Also shown are the pivot axis D and the perpendicular dowel bolt axis C, which runs identically to the drilling axis in the second furniture part 2.

[0067] Figure 5 shows a furniture dowel 5 according to a second embodiment, wherein the dowel bolt of the furniture dowel is arranged in a working state,

[0068] The furniture dowel 5 has at least one fastening device 14 for clamping the furniture dowel 5 in and / or on a first furniture part 1.

[0069] The fastening device 14 has a tension rod 15 and at least one clamping surface 16 which can be spread outwards above it, wherein the clamping surface 16 is minimally spread outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 between the tension rod 15 and the dowel bolt 9 of more than 90° and less than 180°, preferably at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 of approximately 100°, preferably wherein the clamping surface 16 is maximally spread outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 of approximately 180°.

[0070] The tie rod can be arranged in three positions relative to the clamping surface 16, namely in a working state with a maximum spread (Figure 5), in a rest state with a slight spread (Figure 6) and in a fastening state with a minimum spread (Figures 7, 7a) and 7b) ).

[0071] Several clamping surfaces 16 can be provided, which can be spaced apart from one another via slots 20, as in the case shown.

[0072] In order to achieve the maximum spreading effect in the working state, the movable relative to the tie rod 5

[0073] Clamping surfaces 16 via a bearing 18 and a plate-shaped

[0074] Abutment 19 on dowel bolt 9. Figure 6 shows the dowel 5 in the resting position, which corresponds to a transport or pre-assembly position in which the furniture parts are transported loosely with the pre-assembled connecting fitting. In this position, the tension rod 15 is only very slightly drawn into the fastening device 14 by an additional bearing 21, which, for example, takes the form of a small shoulder on the dowel bolt 9. This causes the clamping surface 16 to slightly clamp into the furniture part.

[0075] Figure 7 shows the dowel 5 in the fastened state, in which the clamping surface 16 is spread minimally outwards at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 between the tension rod 15 and the dowel bolt 9 of more than 90° and less than 180°, preferably at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 of approximately 100°. The tension rod is in the outermost position and the fastening device 14, which in this embodiment can also be referred to as an expansion dowel, is completely relieved, i.e. no spreading takes place. In this position, the furniture dowel 5 can be fastened in and / or on the first furniture part 1 by means of the fastening device 14. The furniture dowel 5 is therefore fastened to the first furniture part 1 in a fastening state different from the rest state and / or the working state.

[0076] In order to facilitate the insertion of the dowel bolt 9 into a drilled hole 4, it can be provided, as in the illustrated embodiments, that the dowel bolt 9 has a dowel bolt extension 6, on which an inclined surface 22 and possibly a further inclined surface 23 is arranged.

[0077] By means of at least one of the pivotable furniture dowels 5 described above, a method for connecting a first furniture part 1, preferably in the form of a drawer side, to a second furniture part 2, preferably in the form of a drawer bottom, can be designed in that the method comprises the following method steps: the furniture dowel 5 is arranged at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 relative to the furniture parts 1, 2 to be connected, the dowel bolt 9 is received at least partially in a drilled hole 4 of one of the furniture parts 1, 2, and the dowel bolt 9 generates different jacket pressing forces in the drilled hole 4.

[0078] The furniture dowel 5 is fastened to the first furniture part 1 in a first method step and / or pivoted from a rest state, in which the dowel bolt 9 is arranged within an outer shell of the first furniture part 1, ie does not protrude beyond the outer shell of the first furniture part 1, into a working state, in which the dowel bolt 9 protrudes vertically from one of the outer surfaces of the first furniture part 1, and in the working state is received at least partially in the drill hole 4 of one of the furniture parts 1, 2.

[0079] Figures 8, 8a) and 8b) show a furniture dowel 5 according to a third exemplary embodiment. The dowel bolt 9 is rotatably mounted on the fastening device 14, wherein the dowel bolt 9 has at least one displacement contour 24 mounted in a slot 20 of the fastening device 14, wherein the slot 20 can be expanded upon rotation of the dowel bolt 9 by means of the at least one displacement contour 24. In a first position, the displacement contour 24 is arranged in the slot 20 such that it has substantially the width of the slot 20. In a second position (shown in dashed lines in Figure 8a), the displacement contour 24 is arranged in the slot 20 such that it has a second width which differs therefrom and is greater than the width of the slot 20. This can be achieved, for example, by a shape of the displacement contour 24 which differs from a circular shape, e.g., oval.

[0080] In this embodiment, the displacement contour 24 represents a pivot bearing for the rotatable connection between the fastening device 14 and the dowel bolt 9.

[0081] Advantageously, it is provided that an upper side 26 of the fastening device 14 and an upper side 27 of the dowel bolt 9 can be arranged in a common plane 25 at a predetermined angle of rotation 13 between the fastening device 14 and the dowel bolt 9 of approximately 90°. In this way, the furniture dowel 5 can be arranged completely countersunk in a furniture part, whereby several such furniture parts can be stacked in a space-saving manner.
