Description

[0001] Corner front fitting for fastening at least two

[0002] Front panels of an angled drawer front panel

[0003] The present invention relates to a corner front fitting for fastening at least two front panels of a preferably inwardly angled front panel of a drawer, comprising:

[0004] - a first fitting part for fastening a first

[0005] front panel,

[0006] - a second fitting for attaching a second

[0007] front panel,

[0008] - wherein at least one of the fitting parts is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis, preferably wherein both fitting parts are each pivotally mounted about a pivot axis,

[0009] - at least one fastening device for detachably fastening at least one front panel to one of the two fitting parts, wherein the fastening device has at least one mounting plate to be fastened to a front panel, which mounting plate can be suspended from the fitting part via at least one suspension axis.

[0010] Furthermore, the invention relates to a front assembly for a piece of furniture, preferably for a corner cupboard, with at least one corner front fitting of the type to be described.

[0011] Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture, preferably a corner cupboard, with at least one corner front fitting of the type to be described.

[0012] WO 2004 / 082431 A1 shows a corner cupboard with a furniture carcass and with a drawer which can be moved out relative to the furniture carcass and which has an inwardly angled front panel with two movable front plates. To ensure that the two front panels of the front panel do not collide with the front panels of adjacent drawers when the drawer is opened, the two front panels are movably mounted relative to one another and relative to the side walls of the drawer before the drawer is moved out of the furniture carcass. In this way, the lateral outer edges of the front panels can be moved past the front panels of laterally adjacent drawers when the drawer is opened and the drawer can be pulled out of the furniture carcass without collision. Figs. 58-60 of WO 2004 / 082431 A1 show an embodiment in which a mounting plate is pre-mounted on the front panels for fastening the front panels to a corner front fitting.The two front panels can be releasably locked to a holding part of the corner front fitting via the mounting plates and a pivoting rocker arm. The disadvantage of this is that the rotation axis of the rocker arm and the axes about which the two front panels are pivoting run parallel to one another. In concrete terms, this means that when the rocker arm is locked and / or unlocked, a relative movement can occur between the holding parts of the corner front fitting and the front panels, with the locking and / or unlocking of the rocker arm being made more difficult by this relative movement. In addition, the rocker arm is difficult to access manually or for operation using a tool.

[0013] The object of the present invention is to provide a corner front fitting of the type mentioned at the outset while avoiding the disadvantages discussed above.

[0014] This is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent patent claims. According to the invention, it is provided that the at least one suspension axis and the pivot axis run transversely, preferably substantially at right angles, to one another.

[0015] By arranging the suspension axis transversely relative to the pivot axis, the assembly and disassembly of the front panel to or from the fittings can be significantly simplified because, when force is applied to the suspension axis, movement of the fittings about the pivot axis is inhibited. In other words, the mounting plate can be hung and locked on the fitting without causing any significant movement of the fittings about the pivot axis.

[0016] According to one embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one fastening device has at least one pivotably and / or displaceably mounted locking element, by means of which the fitting part can be releasably locked to the mounting plate.

[0017] Preferably, the at least one locking element is designed as a locking lever rotatable about a rotation axis.

[0018] According to a further embodiment, at least one coupling device can be provided, by which the two fitting parts are coupled to one another in terms of movement. The coupling device can, for example, have a first toothing arranged on the first fitting part, which meshes with a second toothing arranged on the second fitting part during a relative movement of the fitting parts.

[0019] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one coupling device can comprise at least one cable pulling device and / or at least one gear transmission. According to one exemplary embodiment, the at least two fitting parts are movable relative to one another between a first operating position, which corresponds to a closed position of the front panel relative to a furniture body, and at least one second operating position over an opening angle range, wherein the opening angle of the two fitting parts is reduced in the second operating position relative to the first operating position.

[0020] Preferably, at least one spring element is provided, by means of which the two fitting parts are pretensioned relative to one another in the direction of the second operating position.

[0021] Further details and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures.

[0056] The mounting plates 22a, 22b are to be pre-assembled to the front panels 4a, 4b in a first assembly step. In a subsequent assembly step, the front panels 4a, 4b can be releasably locked to the fittings 20a, 20b via the pre-assembled mounting plates 22a, 22b.

[0057] The figure shows the locked state between the mounting plates 22a, 22b and the fittings 20a, 20b. The front panels 4a, 4b connected to the mounting plates 22a, 22b are not shown for reasons of clarity. In an assembled state, the two front panels 4a, 4b can be placed against an inner side of the base body 18.

[0058] Fig. 3b shows the corner front fitting 6 according to Fig. 3a, whereby the base body 18 is not shown for reasons of improved clarity.

[0059] The fastening device 21a, 21b has at least one pivotably and / or displaceably mounted locking element 25a, 25b, by means of which the fitting part 20a, 20b can be releasably locked to the mounting plate 22a, 22b.
