Description

[0001] Arrangement for connecting a side wall to an inner wall element of a drawer

[0002] The present invention relates to an arrangement for, preferably detachably, connecting a side wall to an inner wall element of a drawer, preferably inclined relative to the side wall, particularly preferably at an acute angle, the arrangement comprising a cover element and an adapter, and to a drawer having such an arrangement and to a piece of furniture having such a drawer.

[0003] In the prior art, for example in AT 006717 U1, adapters are known for connecting, preferably detachably, a side panel to a drawer front panel, preferably at an acute angle. Such adapters have a wide variety of design features, such as projections, ribs, cutouts, and / or connection positions to increase strength, for mounting front panels, side panels, etc., or for other purposes.

[0004] This results in several disadvantages. First, the various design features are often unprotected from external mechanical damage and / or dirt. Second, the various design features can limit the clarity of installation of such an adapter. Third, such adapters are often not usable for different drawer models, or can only be used in a complicated way.

[0005] The object of the present invention is therefore to at least partially remedy the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved arrangement compared to the prior art, which is characterized in particular by greater user-friendliness. The object is further to provide a drawer with such an arrangement and a piece of furniture with such a drawer.

[0006] This object is achieved by the features of claims 1, 15 and 17.

[0007] This object is achieved by means of an arrangement according to claim 1, namely an arrangement for the preferably detachable connection of a side wall to an inner wall element of a drawer, which is preferably inclined relative to the side wall 2, particularly preferably at an acute angle, preferably at an acute angle, the arrangement comprising a cover element and an adapter, the cover element having at least one cutout, preferably a through opening, and the adapter having at least one connection position for the side wall and / or the inner wall element, the at least one cutout in the cover element overlapping the at least one connection position of the adapter for the side wall and / or the inner wall element when connected to the adapter.

[0008] In order to connect a side wall to an inner wall element of a drawer, preferably inclined relative to the side wall 2, particularly preferably at an acute angle, by means of an adapter, at least one connection position of the adapter is required. In a simple exemplary embodiment, the connection position can be at least one hole for a pin or at least one threaded hole for a screw, wherein the adapter can be connected or connectable to the side wall and / or the inner wall element by means of the connection position and the pin or the screw.

[0009] By means of an arrangement according to the invention, the adapter can be covered with the cover element in such a way that at least the at least one recess of the cover element overlaps with the at least one connection position of the adapter for the side wall and / or the inner wall element. In other words, the adapter can be covered with the cover element in such a way that at least the at least one connection position of the adapter for the side wall and / or the inner wall element is exposed, i.e., not covered or uncovered.

[0010] In this way, the design features not relevant to the installation of the adapter can be at least partially covered, while at least one design feature relevant to the installation, specifically the connection position, remains accessible. This results in greater user-friendliness, since an adapter equipped with the cover element provides a clear layout and guides the user to the connection position during installation.

[0011] A further advantage may be that the cover element covers ribs, cutouts or other design features of the adapter from external mechanical influences and thus protects them, for example from damage and / or contamination.

[0012] A further advantage may be that an adapter can have more than one connection position for different models of front panels, in particular interior wall elements, and / or side walls and the arrangement provides support during installation.

[0013] For example, an adapter can have a first connection position for a first sidewall model and a second connection position for a second sidewall model. The adapter, provided with the cover element, allows a recess in the cover element to overlap with the first connection position to guide the user to the desired first connection position.

[0014] For example, a different cover element with a different recess can also be provided, whereby, when connected to the adapter, the recess of the other cover element can overlap with the second connection position. In this way, depending on the side panel model to be used, one of the two different cover elements can be arranged on one or more adapters to facilitate installation for a user.

[0015] The terms "detachable connection", "detachably connected" and "detachably connectable" can be understood to mean that at least two originally separate components can be connected to one another, wherein this detachable connection can subsequently be dissolved non-destructively, so that the at least two components are again in their original separate state in order to be able to be connected again. "Detachable connection", "detachably connected" and "detachably connectable" can therefore also be referred to as "non-destructively detachable connection", "non-destructively detachably connected" and "non-destructively detachably connectable".

[0016] The terms “permanent connection”, “permanently connected” and “permanently connectable” can be understood to mean that at least two originally separate components can be connected to one another, wherein this permanent connection cannot subsequently be dissolved without damaging the integrity of at least one of the at least two components and / or without making it difficult or impossible to reconnect the at least two components. “Permanent connection”, “permanently connected” and “permanently connectable” can therefore also be referred to as “non-destructively permanent connection”, “non-destructively permanently connected” and “non-destructively permanently connectable”.

[0017] The terms “acute angle” and “acute angle” can be understood to mean an “angle of less than 90°” and “angled at an angle of less than 90°”.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the acute angle and / or the acute-angled inclination between the side wall and the inner wall element is an angle between 1° and 89° and / or an angle between 35° and 55° and / or an angle of 45°.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, it can be provided that the at least one connection position can be at least one through-opening, particularly preferably at least one hole for a pin or at least one threaded hole for a screw.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, it can be provided that the at least one recess can be a through opening, particularly preferably a borehole.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, it can be provided that the at least one recess is provided on an edge of the insertion element.

[0022] Thanks to the at least one recess, the cover element can be used as a template to make the at least one desired connection position accessible when connected to the adapter. In a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, it can be provided that the cover element and / or the adapter can be a single piece or an assembly consisting of several parts.

[0023] For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that in the course of describing this invention, the numerals used, such as one, two, three, and the like, basically only describe the minimum quantity of a feature present in the arrangement according to the invention, the drawer according to the invention, and / or the piece of furniture according to the invention. Individual features or components can, of course, also be present in larger numbers. In this sense, for example, the numeral "ein" is to be understood, where appropriate, as meaning "at least one," etc.

[0024] Further advantageous embodiments of the arrangement are defined in the dependent claims.

[0025] Furthermore, protection is sought for a drawer, preferably for a corner cupboard, with an inner wall element, two side walls, a rear wall and a base, wherein the drawer has at least one arrangement according to the invention.

[0026] Furthermore, protection is sought for a piece of furniture, preferably a corner cupboard, with a furniture body and with at least one drawer according to the invention which can be moved out relative to the furniture body.
