Description

[0001] Hardware

[0002] The present invention relates to a fitting for furniture, in particular for corner kitchen cabinets with an interior accessible via a corner cabinet door, wherein the fitting comprises a support column, an upper retaining element, and a lower retaining element. The support column can be fixed in position axially and circumferentially within the interior of the furniture by means of the upper retaining element and the lower retaining element. The support column and the lower retaining element are designed such that the support column can be attached to the lower retaining element located within the interior of the corner cabinet.

[0003] Such a fitting is known, for example, from EP 1 949 817 A2. The upper retaining element is designed as a connection plate that can be screwed to a top panel of a corner cabinet. The lower retaining element is designed as another connection plate that can be screwed to a base panel of the corner cabinet. The support column is telescopically extendable.

[0004] Fittings with a support column of a fixed length are known from EP 2 629 643 A1 and EP 2 629 644 A1.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a fitting in which the support column can be fixed particularly easily inside the furniture. According to the invention, this is achieved by the support column and the lower retaining element each having at least one fixing recess, and by the fitting comprising a fixing element that can be inserted into the fixing recesses of the support column and the lower retaining element when the support column is attached to the lower retaining element, in order to detachably connect the lower retaining element and the support column.

[0006] The fixing element, inserted through the fixing recess in the support column and the fixing recess in the lower support element, prevents the support column, which is attached to the lower support element, from being removed from the lower support element. The support column is thus easily and securely fixed to the lower support element and therefore securely fixed in place inside the furniture.

[0007] Securing the support column of the fitting in this way is particularly advantageous for transporting furniture, especially a corner kitchen cabinet, with the fitting already installed. Such fittings are primarily supplied to kitchen manufacturers who install them in corner cabinets. The corresponding corner cabinet, complete with the installed fittings, is then transported to an end customer, where it is assembled as part of a kitchen. Transporting the corner cabinet with the fittings fully attached is particularly efficient. The interior of the corner cabinet is utilized for transporting the fittings. In particular, it ensures that all parts of the fitting are transported. The corner cabinet does not even need to be transported in its final installation position; for example, it can be transported rotated by 90 degrees.Transporting a piece of furniture equipped with the fitting according to the invention, in particular a corner cabinet, is therefore simple and reliable.

[0008] A fixing element, guided by a fixing recess in the support column and a fixing recess in the lower retaining element, secures the support column not only axially (along its longitudinal axis) but also prevents it from rotating circumferentially. The support column is thus fixed in position both axially and circumferentially within the corner cabinet. This means that the support column cannot be moved axially from the lower retaining element and cannot rotate within the corner cabinet or be twisted by more than a few degrees. A slight degree of axial and circumferential movement of the support column may result from manufacturing tolerances or may be intentionally incorporated to simplify assembly.Even with minimal movement due to tolerances or for easier assembly, the support column is considered to be fixed in position axially and circumferentially. The support column, secured against circumferential rotation, is fixed in its alignment with the lower retaining element. Additional securing elements that secure the support column axially or circumferentially are unnecessary. In particular, a locking clip that secures the support column against axial displacement by contacting at least a section of the upper retaining element is no longer required. This also reduces the accuracy requirements for positioning the upper retaining element within the furniture.Otherwise, the upper retaining element would have to be positioned at a sufficient distance from the lower retaining element so that the locking clip could be arranged on the support column in such a way that it, together with at least one section of the upper retaining element, could secure the support column against axial displacement. At the same time, the distance between the upper and lower retaining elements must be small enough to prevent the support column from detaching from the lower retaining element before the locking clip on the support column comes into contact with at least one section of the upper retaining element.

[0009] The fixing element secures the lower support element and the support column in their relative orientation. This fixed orientation prevents the support column from rotating on the lower support element. It also prevents the support column from rotating within the upper support element. This fixed orientation ensures a stable position for the support column, reducing wobble. The corner cabinet can be rotated 90° or 180° (upside down). Even when upside down, the support column, secured by the fixing element, will not slip out of or off the lower support element.

[0010] In particular, the fixing recess is fixed in the lower retaining element.

[0011] The upper and lower mounting elements can themselves be fixed in place within the furniture. The support column can also be fixed in place within the furniture in spatial directions perpendicular to its axial direction via the upper and lower mounting elements.

[0012] Preferably, the lower retaining element in a piece of furniture can be fixed to a base plate and / or a side wall of the furniture, in particular by screwing it in place.

[0013] Preferably, the lower retaining element includes an adapter for the support column, the adapter being designed such that the orientation of the support column relative to the lower retaining element is fixed. This allows for a simple, axially and circumferentially fixed arrangement of the support column within the furniture. In particular, the adapter prevents any twisting or rotation of the support column relative to the lower retaining element.

[0014] Preferably, the support column is directly connected to the lower holding element via the fixing element.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing element is movable between a locking position and a release position, wherein in the release position the fixing element is subjected to a force that moves it towards the locking position. In the locking position, the fixing element is engaged in both fixing recesses. In the release position, the fixing element is removed from at least the fixing recess of the support column. With the fixing element in the release position, the support column, which is mounted on the lower retaining element, can be removed from the lower retaining element. In particular, the fitting includes a spring element that applies a corresponding force to the fixing element in the release position. Furthermore, the fixing element and / or the lower retaining element have a chamfered entry surface.This means that when the fixing element is in the release position, where it has been moved out of the fixing recess of the lower retaining part, it is subjected to a force that moves the fixing element towards the fixing recess of the lower retaining part. Conversely, a force must be applied to remove the fixing element from the fixing recess of the lower retaining part. This ensures that the fixing element is automatically inserted into the fixing recess of the lower retaining part when the support column is attached to the lower retaining part and the respective fixing recesses are correctly aligned with each other.The chamfered lead-in of the fixing element and / or the lower retaining element is arranged such that the fixing element is moved into the release position when the support column is attached. This allows the support column, with the fixing element attached to it, to be placed onto the lower retaining element until the fixing element engages in the fixing recess of the lower retaining element, thus securing the support column to the lower retaining element. With such a fitting, the support column can be easily attached to the lower retaining element and secured there by the fixing element. Such a fitting is particularly easy to use. Preferably, the fitting includes a height adjuster to be arranged on the support column for supporting objects such as a shelf. The height adjuster can be adjusted to different heights on the support column.A fitting with such a height adjuster, which can be positioned at varying heights on a support column, is particularly easy and flexible to use. An object supported by the column, such as a shelf, can thus be easily positioned at different height levels inside the corner cabinet.

[0016] Preferably, the support column comprises several vertically spaced holes, and the height adjuster includes a locking element that can be inserted at least partially into one of the holes. Such a combination of holes in the support column and a locking element of the height adjuster that can be inserted into the holes allows the height adjuster to be easily set at different height levels on the support column. These different height levels are discrete levels defined by the arrangement of the holes in the support column.

[0017] Preferably, the height adjuster comprises a retaining element that at least partially surrounds the support column, wherein the retaining element has a retaining recess that can be arranged corresponding to one of the holes in the support column, and the locking element comprises a detent that can be inserted into the retaining recess and one of the holes in the support column when the retaining recess and the corresponding hole are aligned with each other. This makes it particularly easy to fix the height adjuster at different height levels on the support column.

[0018] Preferably, the locking element is securely attached to the mounting bracket. A locking element securely attached to the mounting bracket allows for a particularly convenient and reliable fitting. The locking element is positioned so that it can be moved out of the recess in the support column while remaining attached to the mounting bracket. After the mounting bracket has been adjusted to the desired height, the locking element can then be reinserted into the corresponding recess in the support column. The fitting is therefore particularly easy and reliable to handle.

[0019] Alternatively or additionally, the locking element is movable between a locking position and a release position, wherein in the release position the locking element is subjected to a force that moves it towards the locking position. In the release position, when it is not located in one of the recesses of the support column, the locking element is subjected to a force that moves it towards the recess. Conversely, a force must be applied to remove the locking element from the locking position, in which it is located in a recess of the support column. In particular, the fitting includes a spring element that applies a corresponding force to the locking element.This ensures that the locking element is automatically inserted into a recess in the support column when the height adjuster is positioned at the desired height and the recess and the retaining recess are aligned. Such a fitting is particularly easy and reliable to use.

[0020] Preferably, the locking element is subjected to a force, at least in the release position, that moves it towards the locking position, and is also arranged on the retaining part in a captive manner. This is achieved in particular by the locking element having two legs that partially encompass the retaining part, each leg comprising a guide end. The guide ends are each guided in a guide track of the retaining part, each of which has an end stop. When the locking element is moved relative to the retaining part to remove it from one of the recesses in the support column, the legs are moved apart. The legs are made of a suitably resilient material, so that a force must be applied to the locking element to move the legs apart.The same force causes the locking element to move back towards the recessed hole in the support column after release. The guide ends of the legs interact with the end stops of the guide tracks of the retaining part, preventing the locking element from being easily removed from the retaining part. This ensures that the locking element is securely attached to the retaining part. Alternatively, the fitting can also have a differently designed spring element that applies, or can apply, a corresponding force to the locking element. Such a fitting is particularly convenient and reliable to use.

[0021] Preferably, the fitting comprises at least one upper and one lower height adjuster, wherein the fixing element is formed by the locking element of the lower height adjuster. Such a fitting can be manufactured particularly simply. By using the locking element of the lower height adjuster as the fixing element for securing the support column to the lower retaining element, a separate fixing element can be omitted. While the lower height adjuster can, in principle, be supported on the support column in a height-adjustable manner, for the locking element of the lower height adjuster to function as the fixing element of the fitting, the lower height adjuster must be arranged on the support column such that the locking element is inserted into the fixing recesses of the support column and the lower retaining element. The lower height adjuster must therefore be positioned on the support column in a specific location.

[0022] It is particularly advantageous for the lower and upper height adjusters to be identical. Such a fitting can be manufactured particularly easily, since the lower and upper height adjusters are designed as identical parts.

[0023] Preferably, the lower retaining element and the support column have corresponding alignment elements. These alignment elements can be designed as a recess in the support column and as a projection on the lower retaining element. To align the support column, the recesses and projections are engaged with each other. Alternatively, the support column can have a projection, and a corresponding recess can be arranged in the lower retaining element. In particular, the alignment elements ensure that the support column is fixed in a specific position relative to the lower retaining element. Specifically, the alignment elements define the orientation of the support column relative to the lower retaining element. The alignment elements prevent the support column from being rotated relative to the lower retaining element.This also makes it easy to ensure that the fixing recess of the support column and the fixing recess of the lower retaining element are correctly aligned with each other. In particular, the alignment elements determine the orientation of the fixing recesses of the lower retaining element and the support column relative to each other.

[0024] Preferably, the upper retaining element is designed as an angle bracket with a recess for the support column, which can be positioned inside a piece of furniture. The recess for the support column is designed so that the support column can be inserted into it. To mount the support column in a piece of furniture, the upper and lower retaining elements are fixed in place inside the furniture. The support column can then first be guided through the recess in the angle bracket of the upper retaining element and moved relative to the upper retaining element until the support column can be attached to the lower retaining element. An upper retaining element designed as an angle bracket with a recess for the support column is particularly easy to manufacture and allows for a fitting that is especially easy to install.Preferably, the lower retaining element includes a dome, and the support column is tubular, at least in its lower section, meaning it has a cavity into which the pin of the lower retaining element can be inserted. The support column can thus be attached to the pin. The pin onto which the support column can be attached has the fixing recess of the lower retaining element. A fitting with such a lower retaining element can be mounted particularly easily. The support column can simply be attached to the pin of the lower retaining element and detachably secured to the pin of the lower retaining element via the fixing element.

[0025] Preferably, the dome is a feature of the lower retaining element. A feature means that the material of the lower retaining element forms the dome. In particular, the dome can be obtained by deforming the material of the lower retaining element. With this feature, the lower fixing of the support column in the lower retaining element can be achieved very precisely and is easy to create.

[0026] It is particularly advantageous for the lower retaining element and the dome to be a single, integral component. A lower retaining element designed as a single component simplifies the installation of the fitting into furniture. The risk of incorrect assembly is reduced.

[0027] Furthermore, and particularly preferably, the alignment elements are at least partially arranged on the dome and / or formed by the dome. Preferably, the pin in the lower retaining element has a fixed orientation. The fixed orientation means that the pin in the lower retaining element is immovable. With the fixed orientation, the fixing recess in the pin can be fixed in position. The dome in the lower retaining element is aligned such that the fixing element can be easily inserted into the fixing recess in the dome.

[0028] Preferably, the fixing recess is aligned perpendicular to the attachment of the lower retaining element to a part of the piece of furniture.

[0029] Preferably, the dome has chamfered entry points. During the fitting's installation, the fixing element can already be positioned on the support column. The chamfered entry points move the fixing element into the release position. With the fixing element in the release position, the support column can be fully raised onto the dome. The fixing element can preferably move automatically into the locking position when the fixing recess in the dome is accessible. This design is particularly advantageous when the fixing element is a locking element of a height adjuster mounted on the support column.

[0030] Preferably, the fitting for corner cabinets is designed with an interior space accessible from the front via a corner cabinet door, with a substantially rectangular floor plan. The fitting comprises a one-piece shelf with a semicircular shape, a first link that pivotally supports the shelf and moves it along a predetermined path from an internal position within the corner cabinet to an external position located essentially in front of the door opening, wherein one end of the link is pivotably connected to the underside of the shelf about a shelf pivot axis and the other end is pivotably mounted on the support column. Furthermore, the fitting comprises a support bearing that can be positioned stationary within the corner cabinet and a second link that pivotally supports the shelf, wherein the second link is pivotably mounted on the support bearing about a vertical axis.In this way, it is particularly easy to obtain a fitting in which the shelf can be moved from an inside position to an outside position, in which the shelf is essentially located in front of the door opening of the corner cabinet.

[0031] Particularly preferably, the handlebar has two clamping projections at its pivotally mounted end on the support column. These projections extend around a retaining element of a height adjuster and are pivotably fixed to the retaining element. The clamping projections are arranged one above the other and in opposite directions. They are designed such that the handlebar can be released from the retaining element by a pivoting movement about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support column. Furthermore, the clamping projections are designed and arranged such that they form an opening between them, through which the retaining element can be moved in a swivel position of the handlebar. With such a fitting, the handlebar can be mounted and dismounted particularly easily and, in particular, without tools.The problem according to the invention is further solved by a corner cabinet with an interior space accessible from the front via a corner cabinet door, which is essentially rectangular in plan view and in which a fitting according to one of the embodiments described above is arranged.

[0032] Preferably, the corner cabinet has a side wall that limits the door opening of the corner cabinet, with the support column being arranged adjacent to the boundary of the door opening opposite the side wall.

[0033] Preferably, the fitting arranged in the corner cabinet has a support bearing, wherein the further vertical axis formed by the support bearing is arranged adjacent to a side wall that limits the door opening of the corner cabinet.

[0034] This allows for a simple way to create a corner cabinet with a shelf where the shelf can be moved from an internal position, where it is located inside the cabinet, to an external position, where it protrudes almost completely or completely beyond the door opening of the cabinet. In this external position, the shelf surface is particularly easy to access for placing items on or removing items from the shelf.

[0035] Further advantages and details of the invention can be found in the following description of the figures, which include exemplary embodiments of the invention. The figures schematically illustrate:

Individual technical features of the embodiments described below can be combined with the features of claim 1 and with the features of individual embodiments described above to form articles according to the invention.

[0047] Fig. 1 shows part of a fitting 2 comprising a support column 4, an upper retaining element 6, and a lower retaining element 8. The upper retaining element 6 and the lower retaining element 8 are fixedly arranged on a part of a piece of furniture in Fig. 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the upper retaining element 6 and the lower retaining element 8 are screwed to the piece of furniture. The support column 4 is attached to the lower retaining element 8. The upper retaining element 6 is designed as an angle bracket with a recess for the support column. The support column 4 passes through the recess in the upper retaining element 6.

[0048] Two height adjusters 10.1 and 10.2 are arranged on the support column 4. One of the two height adjusters forms an upper height adjuster 10.1 and the other a lower height adjuster 10.2.

[0049] The support column 4 is provided with recesses 12. The upper height adjuster 10.1 can be adjusted for height on the support column 4 via these recesses 12. Fig. 2 shows a section of Fig. 1 in the area of ​​the lower retaining element 8. The lower height adjuster 10.2 is arranged on the support column 4.

[0050] 10.2 comprises a retaining element 14 and a locking element 16. The locking element 16 of the lower height adjuster 10.2 simultaneously forms the fixing element of the fitting 2. While the lower height adjuster 10.2 can generally be adjusted in height, in order for the locking element 16 of the lower height adjuster 10.2 to function as a fixing element, the lower height adjuster 10.2 must be positioned in the lowest position shown.

[0051] Fig. 3 shows an exploded view with the lower retaining element 8, the support column 4, and the fixing element 16. It can be seen that the support column 4 has a fixing recess 18.1 in addition to the holes 12 for adjusting the height of the upper height adjuster 10.1. The lower retaining element 8 has a pin 20. A fixing recess 18.2 is also arranged in the dome 20 of the lower retaining element 8. When the support column 4 is placed onto the dome 20 of the lower retaining element 8 and the fixing recesses are engaged, the pin 20 is secured.

[0052] When 18.1 and 18.2 are correctly aligned with each other, a locking element 22 of the fixing element 16, which serves as a fixing element, can be inserted into the fixing recesses 18.1 and 18.2.

[0053] 18.2 are inserted. The dome 20 has lead-in ramps 24 above the fixing recess 18.2. When the support column 4 with the fixing element 16 arranged therein is attached, the lead-in ramps 24 cause the fixing element 16 with the locking lug 22 to be pushed to the side until it enters the fixing recess.

[0054] 18.2 can be inserted. Attaching and fixing the support column 4 to the lower retaining element 8 is particularly easy. The locking element 16 comprises, in addition to the locking lug 22, two legs 26. The legs 26 are each provided with guide ends 28. The locking element 16 also has a handling area 30 at which the locking element 16 can be grasped to move it relative to the retaining part 14.

[0055] Furthermore, as can be seen in Fig. 3, alignment elements 32 are arranged on the lower retaining element 8 and on the support column 4. In the exemplary embodiment, the alignment elements 32 arranged on the lower retaining element 8 are designed as projections and the alignment elements 32 arranged on the support column 4 as corresponding recesses. The alignment elements 32 ensure that the support column 4, which is attached to the lower retaining element 8, is secured against rotation. In addition, in the position defined by the alignment elements 32, the fixing recesses 18.1 and 18.2 are aligned with each other such that the detent 22 of the locking element 16, which serves as a fixing element, can be inserted into the fixing recesses 18.1 and 18.2. This allows the support column 4 to be detachably fixed to the lower retaining element 8.

[0056] Fig. 3 also shows that the pin 20 has a fixed orientation in the lower retaining element 8. The fixing recess 18.2 is fixedly arranged in the lower retaining element 8. This fixed orientation secures the fixing recess 18.2 in the dome 20 in its position relative to the lower retaining element. The pin 20 is aligned in the lower retaining element 8 such that the fixing element 22 can be easily inserted into the fixing recess 18.1, 18.2. The fixing recess 18.2 is oriented perpendicular to the attachment of the lower retaining element 8 to the part of the furniture.

[0057] Figure 3 shows that the pin 20 and the lower retaining element 8 have alignment elements 32. An alignment element 32 extends from the attachment point of the lower retaining element 8 to the dome 20. The alignment elements 32 ensure that the support column 4 is inserted into the lower retaining element 8 in a specific relative position. The alignment elements 32 determine the orientation of the support column 4 to the lower retaining element 8. The alignment elements 32 also determine the orientation of the fixing recesses 18.2, 18.1 of the lower retaining element 8 and the support column 4.

[0058] Fig. 3 also shows that the mandrel 20 has a slight elevation relative to the surface of a base plate of the lower retaining element 8. The slight elevation is shown as a circle.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the lower retaining element 8 is formed in one piece.

[0060] Fig. 4 showed an exploded view of part of the fitting.

[0061] Fig. 5 shows the lower part of Fig. 4 in the area of ​​the lower retaining element 8. It can be seen that the retaining part 14 and the locking element 16 of the height adjusters 10.1 and 10.2, which are identical in design, can be separated from each other. Guide tracks 34 are arranged on the retaining part 14. The locking element 16 can be inserted into the guide tracks 34 with its legs 26. The height adjusters 10 can be slid onto the support column 4. The retaining part 14 has a retaining recess 13 into which the locking element 16 can be inserted. In the locked position, the locking element 22 engages the retaining recess 13 and one of the hole recesses 12. When the locking element 16 serves as a fixing element, the locking element 22 then engages the retaining recess 13 as well as the fixing recess 18.1 in the support column 4 and the fixing recess 18.2 in the lower retaining element 8.

[0062] Fig. 6 shows a cross-section through the lower retaining element 8 with the support column 4 arranged thereon, as well as through the lower height adjuster 10.2 in the area of ​​the locking element 16. It can be seen that the detent projection 22 of the locking element 16, which serves as a fixing element, is guided through the retaining recess 16 of the retaining part 14, through the fixing recess 18.1 of the support column 4, and through the fixing recess 18.2 in the mandrel 20 of the lower retaining element 8.

[0063] Fig. 6 also shows that the detent 22 of the fixing element 16, which serves as a fixing element, fixes the lower retaining element 8 and the support column 4 in their relative orientations. This fixed orientation prevents the support column 4 from rotating on the lower retaining element 8 and within the upper retaining element 6. The support column 4 is thus fixed in position within the furniture both axially and circumferentially. This means that the support column 4 cannot be moved axially from the lower retaining element 8 and that the support column 4 cannot rotate within the furniture or be twisted by more than a few degrees. A slight degree of movement of the support column 4 in the axial and circumferential directions may result from manufacturing tolerances or may be intentionally incorporated to simplify assembly.Even with such slight movements due to tolerances or for easier mounting on the lower retaining element 8, the support column 4 is considered to be fixed in the furniture in both the axial and circumferential directions. The support column 4 wobbles less. In the mounted state, the support column 4 is stationary and cannot rotate. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower retaining element 8 is directly connected to the support column 4.

[0064] Fig. 6 also shows that the pin 20 is a feature in the lower retaining element 8. This feature means that the material of the lower retaining element 8 has been deformed to form a dome 20. The lower retaining element 8 with the pin 20 can be manufactured as an injection-molded part. In this case, the lower retaining element 8 with the pin 20 is a single piece. Alternatively, the dome 20 can be welded, bonded, etc., to the lower retaining element 8. The lower retaining element 8 with the dome 20 is a single component.

[0065] Fig. 6 also shows that the dome 20 has lead-in ramps 24. During assembly, the height adjusters 14 can already be positioned on the support column 4. The lead-in ramps 24 move the locking element 16 of the height adjuster 14, which serves as a locking element, into the release position. With the locking element 16 in the release position, the support column 4 with the height adjuster 24 can be fully brought onto the mandrel 20. The locking element 16 automatically moves into the locking position when it is possible for the detent 22 of the locking element 16, which serves as a locking element, to engage in the locking recesses 18.1 and 18.2.

[0066] Fig. 6 also shows that the mandrel 20 has a slight elevation relative to the surface of the base plate of the lower retaining element 8. This slight elevation is shown as a circle in Fig. 3. The mandrel 20 does not rotate.

[0067] Fig. 7 shows a cross-section through the lower retaining element 8 in the area of ​​the locking element 16. It can be seen that the locking element 16 is arranged with its legs 26 in the guide tracks 34 of the retaining part 14. The guide tracks 34 each form an end stop 36. The end stops 36 interact with the guide ends 28 to prevent the locking element 16 from being easily removed from the retaining part 14. Fig. 7 also shows that the legs 26 serve to resiliently hold the locking element 16 against the retaining part 14. To remove the detent 22 of the locking element 16 from the fixing recess 18.2 in the mandrel 20 of the lower retaining element 8, the locking element 16 can be grasped at the handling area 30. The fixing element 16 can then be pulled out of the fixing recess 18.2. In doing so, the legs 26 of the fixing element 16 are spread open.This applies a force to the locking element 16, which moves the locking projection 22 towards the fixing recesses 18.1, 18.2. This is particularly advantageous in conjunction with the lead-in chamfers 24. The support column 4, with its attached height adjuster 10, can be easily attached to the mandrel 20 of the lower retaining element 8. The lead-in chamfer 24 on the mandrel 20 moves the locking projection 22 laterally against the force of the legs 26 until the support column 4 is pushed onto the mandrel 20 to such an extent that the locking projection 22 of the locking element 16 engages in the fixing recess 18.2. The support column 4 can thus be attached to the lower retaining element 8 with particular ease.

[0068] Fig. 8 shows the position in which the fixing element 16 is inserted into the fixing recess 18.2 of the mandrel 20. The lead-in chamfers are again visible.
