Description

[0001] Drawer side panel for a drawer and drawer with at least one such drawer side panel

[0002] The invention relates to a single-walled drawer side panel for a drawer according to the preamble of claim 1 and a drawer with at least one such drawer side panel.

[0003] A drawer side panel of the generic type is known from EP 0 917 842 A2.

[0004] The invention therefore aims to further develop the generic drawer side frame with a view to the possibility of realizing particularly stable and preferably also narrow designs.

[0005] The invention solves this problem through the subject matter of claim 1. The invention further provides the drawer of claim 21.According to claim 1, a single-walled drawer side frame for a drawer is created, comprising at least one side wall base element, which preferably has a substantially constant cross-section, wherein the side wall profile section comprises at least the following: an interior cover wall with an upper and a lower edge and a bottom edge receiving channel adjoining the lower edge of the interior cover wall for receiving an edge of a drawer bottom, wherein two sides of the bottom edge receiving channel form an outer wall of the drawer side frame and a functional element receiving channel formed below the bottom edge receiving channel by a cavity for receiving at least one functional element, in particular a fastening element for attaching a drawer slide and / or a drawer bottom.

[0006] The term "single-walled" refers at least to the interior cover wall. It does not necessarily extend to other functional sections such as the drawer side channels or similar components. The functional element receiving channel can be advantageously designed as an extension of the outer wall below the bottom edge receiving channel. It can also be advantageously partially open at the top.

[0007] In this way, a narrow drawer side panel is created using simple construction methods. It rests on the drawer bottom and covers the edge of the drawer bottom. This also results in a stable drawer side panel and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0008] In addition, the profiled section in a lower area of ​​the drawer side frame covers the edge of the drawer bottom and elements of the pull-out mechanism, which may be designed in particular as an underfloor pull-out mechanism.

[0009] The side wall profile section can thus easily have the fastening contours, particularly in the area of ​​the functional element receiving channel.

[0010] These can advantageously and simply include connection points such as openings or recesses for receiving fastening elements for attaching the drawer guide, in particular a running rail of the drawer guide, and / or the drawer bottom.

[0011] It is preferred, as this is easy to implement and cost-effective, that the side wall base element be manufactured in one piece, particularly from sheet metal using a stamping and bending process. Multi-part designs are also conceivable. Alternatively, materials other than sheet metal can be used, such as composite materials.

[0012] In a preferred optional embodiment, which functionally enhances the drawer side panel, the functional element receiving channel further provides at least one contact surface for the drawer slide in an area below the bottom edge receiving channel, so that the drawer slide is not only attached to the functional element receiving channel but is also preferably supported by this contact surface in a statically advantageous, flat manner. The drawer side panel can rest against a running rail of the underfloor drawer slide. It can also be advantageously provided that the functional element receiving channel at least partially overlaps the drawer slide laterally on its outer side.

[0013] In another preferred embodiment, the bottom edge receiving channel can be designed to positively engage and support the edge of the drawer bottom on three sides, with one section of the functional element receiving channel advantageously also forming part of the bottom edge receiving channel by acting as a support for the underside of the drawer bottom edge. In this way, the drawer bottom is securely received and supported at its edge, while the actual edge of the drawer bottom remains well concealed.

[0014] It may further be provided that at a lower end of the actual interior cover wall a first horizontal bend (relative to the interior of the drawer between the drawer bottom and the side frames as well as a front panel and a back panel to the outside, preferably a first vertical bend vertically downwards, then further preferably a second horizontal bend inwards and at least a second vertical bend upwards are provided.

[0015] The upper edge of the second vertical bend can itself form a support for the underside of the drawer base. However, a third horizontal bend can also be provided, either horizontally outwards or horizontally inwards, to increase the bearing surface of the support and to statically optimize this edge area.

[0016] In the assembled position, the lower edge of the drawer base divides the area of ​​the bends into an area that is defined as a base edge receiving channel and is mostly filled by an edge of the drawer base, and an area that is largely formed as a cavity and defined as a functional element receiving channel.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, it can be advantageously provided that the functional element receiving channel is formed by an extension of the outer wall and by at least a first wall in the direction of the interior cover wall and further by at least a second wall in the direction of the bottom edge receiving channel, wherein the extension of the outer wall and the second wall are spaced apart from each other.

[0018] And according to another advantageous embodiment, it may be provided that the second wall is designed to form, directly or indirectly, a part of the bottom edge receiving channel.

[0019] The functional element receiving channel can preferably be closed on three sides. It can also have at least a partial opening on the side facing the drawer bottom. This opening is concealed by the drawer bottom when installed, and the functional element receiving channel is closed on all four sides.

[0020] According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it can then be provided that one or more fastening contours for securing the at least one fastening element for fastening and fixing the drawer guide and / or the drawer bottom to the drawer side frame are formed in one or more walls of the functional element receiving channel.

[0021] These fastening contours can be designed in various ways. In particular, they can be designed for snap-fit ​​and / or screw-fit fastening of the fastener to fix the drawer slide to the drawer side panel. It can also be provided that components such as holes or openings are located in the functional element receiving channel at the fastening contours, which fix the drawer bottom to the drawer side panel, or spacers through which, for example, the drawer side panel is screwed or braced to the drawer bottom.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment, a top edge flange adjoining the upper edge of the interior cover panel can be provided. This integrates an additional functional element into the drawer side panel in a structurally simple manner. The flange ensures an attractive appearance and provides structural stability to the drawer side panel from above.

[0023] It is particularly visually appealing and functionally advantageous for the stability of the drawer side panel if the end edge has an L-shaped cross-section. However, it can also have a different cross-section.

[0024] Furthermore, from a static point of view, it can be advantageous for the side wall profile section to rest on the drawer bottom in the area of ​​a recess.

[0025] Following an advantageous functional development, it can then be provided that a front wall functional bend and / or a rear wall functional bend is / are formed on the side wall base element at a first end of the side wall profile section.

[0026] The invention also provides a drawer with at least one drawer bottom fixed to the respective drawer side frame, and with a pull-out guide fixed to the respective drawer side frame, which is designed as an underfloor pull-out guide.

[0027] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the remaining dependent claims and the description of the figures.

[0028] The invention is described in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment and the drawings. The drawings show:

[0039] Figs. 12a - f in Figs. 12a, 12c and 12e show front views of various drawer side panels with shelves and drawer slides attached to them, and in 12b, 12d and 12f are enlargements of sections C, D and E from Figs. 12a, 12c and 12e;

[0040] Figs. 13a-c in Figs. 13a to 13c are perspective views of variants of drawer side panels; and Figs. 14a-d in Fig. 14a are a front view of another drawer side panel with a drawer bottom attached to it, in Fig. 14b the arrangement from Fig. 14a with a drawer slide attached to it, and in Figs. 14c and 14d the arrangements from Figs. 14a and 14b with a design cover attached to the drawer side panel.

[0041] Figure 1 shows a drawer 1 for a cabinet (not shown here). The drawer 1 is slidably guided within the cabinet body so that it can be pulled out of the cabinet body in direction X into an open position and pushed back out into a closed position. This is achieved by a drawer slide, which will be described later. This slide is preferably designed as an underfloor drawer slide. Individual features of the embodiments described below, which go beyond the features of claim 1, are optional features that do not all have to be combined in each instance, but can also be used individually or in combinations other than those shown in other embodiments of the invention.

[0042] The drawer 1 is typically open at the top on one side (in a use position with a horizontally oriented bottom) and is formed from several panel-shaped furniture parts. These furniture parts can be oriented at right angles to each other. They can comprise at least one or, in this case, two drawer side panels 2, a drawer bottom 3, a front panel 4, and a back panel 5.

[0043] In a rectangular coordinate system X, Y, Z, direction X corresponds to the extension direction. It is also occasionally described below as the essential extension direction of the drawer side panels 2. A first direction Z, perpendicular to this direction and pointing towards the open side of the drawer 1, is subsequently referred to as the vertical direction Z. The direction Y, which is again perpendicular to X and Z, is subsequently referred to as the transverse direction. When the drawer is rotated in space, these coordinates rotate accordingly. Corresponding to a typical operating position with a horizontally oriented drawer bottom 3, terms such as "top," "bottom," "horizontal," and "vertical," as well as "right" and "left," are used below. They refer to the representation in Fig. 1. For rotations in space, corresponding coordinate transformations must be performed to continue using these terms.

[0044] The drawer base 3 extends substantially horizontally in or parallel to the X / Y plane. The drawer side panels 2, on the other hand, extend substantially vertically in or parallel to the X / Z plane. The front panel 4 and the back panel 5 preferably extend substantially vertically perpendicular to the drawer side panels 2 in or parallel to the Y / Z plane.

[0045] In Fig. 2, the drawer from Fig. 1 is shown without the front panel 5, i.e., for example, in a state before the mounting of the front panel 5.

[0046] The respective, or at least one, drawer side panel 2 has – see Fig. 2 and Figs. 3a and 3b – a side wall base element 21, which is preferably and simply – in particular, can be manufactured in one piece from a sheet of metal using a stamping-bending process. Alternatively, it could be less simply, for example, tacked or welded together from two sheets. However, the design as a one-piece side wall base element 21 made from a formed, one-piece sheet of metal is more advantageous with regard to its manufacture.

[0047] The side wall base element 21 preferably forms the actual load-bearing element of the drawer side frame 2 and preferably extends in the extension direction X from the front panel 4 to the rear panel 5 and in the vertical direction Z from below the drawer bottom 3, covering it laterally, to beyond it in the vertical direction Z, where it can also form the upper end of the drawer side frame 2 in this vertical direction Z. Additional functional components or the like of the drawer side frame 2 can be mounted on the side wall base element 21. Such options are described in more detail below.

[0048] The side wall base element 21 can have a side wall profile section 210. In the assembled state shown in Fig. 1, a central area of ​​this side wall profile section 210 forms an actual interior cover wall 2100 of the drawer 1 in the X and Y directions. This area of ​​the interior cover wall 2100 is designed as a flat sheet metal section. Optionally, according to an advantageous embodiment, a front wall functional flange 211 and / or a rear wall functional flange 212 can be formed on the side wall base element 21 at the front end of the drawer 1.

[0049] These respective bends 211, 212 can be advantageously designed for attaching the front panel 4 and the rear panel 5. For this purpose, they can, for example, have openings in the form of hole patterns 2110, 2120, which can be used for attaching corresponding fasteners to the front panel 4 and the rear panel 5, e.g., screws (not shown in detail here). The bends 211, 212 could also be used in other ways to attach the front panel 4 and the rear panel 5, e.g., via undercuts.

[0050] The side wall profile section 210 can otherwise preferably have a substantially constant cross-sectional geometry and contour in the area between the front wall functional bend 211 and the rear wall functional bend 212.

[0051] At the upper end of the side wall profile section 210 in the vertical direction Z, a top edge flange 2101 can be formed. The top edge flange 2101 can be designed as a single flange or as a multiple flange. According to a preferred embodiment, the top edge flange 2101 can have an L-shaped cross-section, which statically stabilizes the otherwise very thin-walled side wall profile section 21 in its upper region. In addition, this design results in an advantageous visual impression of a stable drawer side panel 2 when viewed from above.

[0052] On the lower side of the side wall profile section 21, a bottom edge receiving channel 2102 and a functional element receiving channel 2103 can be formed by means of further bends on this.

[0053] The bottom edge receiving channel 2102 and the functional element receiving channel 2103 can be formed completely or partially one above the other in the vertical direction Z.

[0054] These two channels 2102, 2103 can be formed by further bends. The drawer bottom receiving channel 2102 can be formed in the vertical direction Z above the functional element receiving channel 2103.

[0055] The drawer bottom receiving channel 2102 can be designed to be open towards a drawer bottom edge 31 of a corresponding laterally receiving edge of the drawer bottom 3.

[0056] The functional element receiving channel 2103 can form a lower support A for the drawer bottom 3 upwards and can thus also form a functional section of the drawer bottom receiving channel 2102 itself.

[0057] The bottom edge receiving channel 2102 and the functional element receiving channel 2103 have been formed by a plurality of successive bends with bending edges extending in the extension direction X (see in particular Figs. 4a and b).

[0058] Preferably, a first horizontal bend 2102a (relative to the interior of the drawer between the base 3 and the panel-shaped furniture parts) to the outside, a first vertical bend 2102b vertically downwards, then a second horizontal bend 2103a inwards and at least a second vertical bend 2103b upwards can be provided at the lower end of the actual interior cover wall 210.

[0059] The upper edge of the second vertical bend 2103b can itself form a support A for the underside of the drawer base 3 (see the embodiment in Figs. 11e and 11f). Alternatively, a third horizontal bend 2103d extending horizontally outwards (Figs. 11a, 11b) or a third horizontal bend 2103c extending horizontally inwards (Figs. 11c, 11d) can be provided to increase the bearing surface of the support A and to statically optimize this edge area.

[0060] The bends described above also serve as walls and sides of the two receiving channels 2102, 2103. They are preferably aligned precisely vertically or horizontally, although deviations in the range of small angles < 10° are also possible. The bottom edge receiving channel 2102 thus has a top wall profile section with bend 2102a and a side wall profile section 2102b with bend 2102b. It also has the support A, or bend 2103c. When an edge of a drawer bottom 3 is inserted into this bottom edge receiving channel 2102, it is positively locked there in and against the vertical direction Z, i.e., upwards, downwards, and outwards. Inwards, the drawer bottom 3 is optionally held on the other side of the drawer 1 in direction Y by the further drawer side frame 2, which can be designed analogously or identically to the first drawer side frame 2.

[0061] Edge 31 is not visible from the outside or inside the drawer, as it is well covered. This provides simple protection against damage. The side wall profile section 21 also conceals any edge 31 of the drawer bottom 3 that may be designed as a sawn edge.

[0062] The first vertical bend 2102a, and the associated indentation which allows the drawer bottom 3 to extend under the side wall profile section 210, causes the side wall profile section 210 to rest on the drawer bottom 3, thus stabilizing it. This feature can be used not only in this embodiment but also in other embodiments and even in other embodiments not shown.

[0063] Since the first vertical bend 2102b projects a certain distance – e.g., a few mm – beyond the lower horizontal surface or the edge 31 of the drawer base 3, and since the lower or second horizontal bend 2103a is thereby spaced accordingly away from the underside of the drawer base, the functional element receiving channel 2103 is advantageously formed below the base edge receiving channel 2102, which can be used in a variety of ways – to be described later.

[0064] The functional element receiving channel 2103 and / or the bottom edge receiving channel 2102 can thus be advantageously used to attach and / or support a drawer slide – preferably an underfloor drawer slide 6. For this purpose, they are preferably provided with mounting contours that can be used to receive and / or support one or more fastening elements for attaching the underfloor drawer slide 6. Reference is first made to Figures 5a and 5b. Figure 5b shows that an element, preferably a guide rail 60, of a linear bearing-type underfloor drawer slide 6 can rest against a wall section (here at the second vertical bend 2103b) of the functional element receiving channel 2103 below the drawer bottom 3 and can also be attached there. Another rail – e.g.,A cabinet rail 61 – this underfloor drawer slide 6 can be attached to a furniture carcass (the latter not shown here). Figure 5b also shows that a section of a fastening element 62 – e.g., a pin – can project into the functional element receiving channel 2103, particularly for attaching the underfloor drawer slide 6 to the drawer side panel 2.

[0065] Figures 6a-6c show different views of the arrangement from Figure 5a without the drawer base 3. In Figure 6b, the fastening element 62 is partially visible, which can protrude through an opening into the functional element receiving channel 2103. The fastening element 62 can also be part of a multi-part fastening device 63, which serves to fasten the underfloor extension runner 6 to the drawer side frame 2. For this purpose, one or more of the flanges forming the functional element receiving channel 2103 may have been partially cut out or removed to create one or more of the fastening contours for receiving the fastening device 63.

[0066] Following further optional development, it may be advantageously provided that one or more parts of the fastening device 63, such as the pin 62, locking projections, or threaded bolts, protrude through a wall of the functional element receiving channel 2103, for example, to be attached to the guide rail 61 of the underfloor extension 6. Corresponding openings / bores 21031 can, for example, be provided in the lower horizontal wall – formed here by the flange 2103b – of the functional element receiving channel 2103. These bores 21301 can be adapted to the design of the fastening device 63 in a largely arbitrary manner.

[0067] The fastening device 63, or the fastening elements 63, can be designed in a variety of ways. In particular, it can allow or implement a screw-type or snap-fit ​​fastening of the drawer slide 6 to the drawer side panel and / or also serve to fix the drawer bottom 3, e.g., in the form of bottom claws. Fixing the drawer bottom 3 by the fastening device 62 can be used not only in this embodiment, but also in the other embodiments and even in other embodiments not shown.

[0068] The interplay of Figures 6a to 6c clearly shows that the underfloor extension guide 6 can not only be easily and securely attached to the drawer side panel 2, but that it can also lie flush against one or more of the flanges, particularly those of the functional element mounting channel 2103. This results in a simple, stable, and smooth-running drawer side panel and drawer construction. Despite its simple design, this drawer side panel 2 is robustly constructed.

[0069] The functional element receiving channel 2103 can preferably be closed on three sides. It can also have at least a partial opening on the side facing the drawer base 3. This opening can be concealed by the drawer base 3 when installed.

[0070] Figures 6 to 14 illustrate that the drawer side panel 2 can be easily and effectively connected to the running rail 61 of the underfloor extension 6 using various fastening contours and different fastening types and elements 62 or devices 63. As illustrated by the openings / bores 21031, the drawer side panel 2 can accommodate at least one or more mounting positions for a snap-on / snap-on mounting of the running rail 61 in the area of ​​the functional element receiving channel 2103.

[0071] The drawer side panel 2 can optionally or alternatively have fastening contours in the area of ​​the functional element receiving channel 2103, or, for example, in the front area, for other fastening devices. Thus, a second type of connection can accommodate a fastening device 63 or a fastening element in a slide-on / slide-on mounting system, a locking spring / lock connection, or a locking window connection. This is particularly evident from Figures 9a and 9b. Figures 9a and 9b show that, for example, at the end of the drawer side panel 2 facing the front panel 4 in the functional element receiving channel 2103, a snap-in and receiving element can be used as a fastening element 62 to secure an end of the underfloor extension runner 6, which is provided with corresponding fastening recesses.The snap and receiving element can project into the functional element receiving channel 2103 from an open end and engage with a catch 65 in a window 21032 of the functional element receiving channel. The catch 65 can then in turn engage in a window 66 of the guide rail 60 (see Figs. 10a and 10b).

[0072] This type of fastening is particularly well combined with the fastening of the other end of the running sheet 61 by the fastening hook 64 which can be inserted into the hook receptacle 2121.

[0073] For example, there can also be a combination of a locking spring for slide-on mounting and at least two receptacles for push-on mounting in a drawer side panel 2. This allows drawer slides with different drive positions to be mounted on the same drawer side panel 2.

[0074] It should also be mentioned that a fully enclosed interior cover wall 2100 can be formed on the side wall profile section 210 (see, for example, Figs. 1, 2, or 3a, 3b). Design openings 21001 can also be incorporated into this, for example, slots or other geometric elements such as circles or triangles, or the like, to give it a different design (see, for example, Fig. 13c).

[0075] However, a design side element 21002 can also be attached laterally to the side wall profile section 210. This could be, for example, a closed cover plate or one with design openings 21001 and / or a colored cover plate (e.g., made of glass, wood, or another material) to make the design of the drawer side frame 2 visually appealing, particularly with regard to the interior of the drawer 1. This design side element 21002 can, for example, be designed to slide on, with grooves for inserting the edges of the design side element 21002 into the side wall profile section 210 being formed by flanges. These flanges can also include the upper flange 2101 in the upper area and an extension of the flange 2102b in the lower area (see Figs. 13a-c and 14a-d). It should also be noted that spacer elements can be arranged in the bottom edge receiving channel 2102, through which, for example,The drawer side frame 2 is screwed to the drawer bottom 3.

[0076] To give the side wall cover 2100 more resistance moment (against bending, torsion), it can be provided with additional ribs or structural embossing (not shown).
