Description

[0001] Fastening device for attaching a drawer element to a drawer side panel

[0002] The invention relates to a fastening device for attaching at least one plate-shaped drawer element, preferably a drawer back panel and / or a drawer bottom, to a drawer side frame according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to an arrangement comprising at least one plate-shaped drawer element, at least one drawer side frame, and at least one such fastening device, as well as a method for attaching at least one plate-shaped drawer element to a drawer side frame by means of at least one such fastening device. Finally, the invention relates to a drawer and a piece of furniture.

[0003] A fastening device is known from PCT / AT2024 / 060246 of the applicant. A disadvantage of this device is that the drawer element must be precisely fitted into the holding area of ​​the drawer side panel. Deviations from the intended position are difficult or impossible to correct, as the bottom claws dig into the material of the drawer element during assembly, forming barbs. Another disadvantage is that the drawer side panel is already designed to accommodate a drawer element with predetermined properties. A drawer element with different properties may not be able to be attached to the drawer side panel as effectively.

[0004] Further fastening devices are known from KR 101818690 Bl and DE 202008006607 Ul. The object of the present invention is to at least partially overcome the disadvantages known from the prior art and to provide an improved fastening device, which is preferably characterized by the fact that errors during joining are correctable and / or drawer elements with different properties can be reliably fastened to the drawer side frame. A further object is to provide an arrangement with at least one plate-shaped drawer element, at least one drawer side frame and at least one such improved fastening device, as well as a method for fastening at least one plate-shaped drawer element to a drawer side frame by means of at least one such improved fastening device.And finally, an improved drawer and an improved piece of furniture should be specified.

[0005] This problem is solved by the features of claims 1, 8, 12, 13 and 14.

[0006] The fastening device is therefore designed to have at least one receptacle in which the at least one locking device can be received, at least partially, during assembly. The receptacle has at least one clearance transverse to the assembly direction, allowing the edge of the drawer element to be moved, at least to a limited extent, in an adjustment direction transverse to the assembly direction after assembly. Furthermore, the at least one locking device has at least one retaining section that can be received into the receptacle, a base body, and an intermediate section that is flexible, at least partially, so that the retaining section is movable, to a limited extent, relative to the base body in an adjustment direction transverse to the assembly direction. These two measures, individually or in combination, make it possible to subsequently correct any errors that may occur during assembly.With PCT / AT2024 / 060246, the drawer element cannot be moved perpendicular to the joining direction after assembly, or only with considerable force. This poses a risk of permanently damaging the surface of the drawer element that is in contact with the bottom claws, which can subsequently lead to an unreliable hold of the drawer element on the drawer side panel.

[0007] According to an advantageous embodiment, the fastening device is provided that the at least one locking device has at least one mounting device with which the at least one locking device can be mounted on and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element, preferably in the operating position on a bottom, rear, and / or on an end face of the drawer element facing the drawer side frame. In this way, it is possible, depending on the properties of the drawer element and / or depending on the required holding force for the drawer element, to equip the drawer element flexibly and precisely with a varying number of locking devices and / or to arrange them in specific positions, whereas the bottom claws in PCT / AT2024 / 060246 are provided as an integral and unalterable component on the drawer side frame.

[0008] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one locking device may have at least one, preferably spring-loaded, locking element, preferably wherein the locking element has at least one inclined surface which, when the edge of the drawer element is inserted into the at least one holding area, can be displaced in an insertion direction transverse to the drawer side frame. These features, individually or in combination, ensure a particularly reliable hold of the locking device and / or facilitate the insertion of the drawer element into the holding area.

[0009] Advantageously, the at least one locking device may have at least one spring element, preferably facing the drawer side panel, which applies a force to the at least one locking device after assembly in the opposite direction to the assembly direction. In this way, any tolerances that may occur can be compensated for.

[0010] In cases where at least one recess has at least one clearance perpendicular to the joining direction, it has proven advantageous for the recess to have a slot, a groove, or a slot. Such a recess design allows for particularly easy movement of the edge of the drawer element after joining in the adjustment direction perpendicular to the joining direction.

[0011] In the event that the at least one locking device comprises at least one mounting device with which the at least one locking device can be mounted on and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element, it has proven technically advantageous for the at least one mounting device to have at least one mounting tab, preferably tapered and / or provided with a barbed contour, and / or at least one dowel and / or an adhesive tape, preferably double-sided. This allows for reliable and simple mounting of the locking device.

[0012] In a particularly simple way, at least one safety device is made at least partially from a sheet metal part, an injection-molded plastic part, and / or from

[0013] Spring wire manufactured.

[0014] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for an arrangement with at least one plate-shaped drawer element, preferably a drawer back panel and / or a drawer bottom, at least one drawer side frame which has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area for at least partially holding an edge of the drawer element, and at least one fastening device according to the invention, by means of which the drawer element is attached or can be attached to the drawer side frame, preferably wherein the drawer element consists at least partially of wood, a wood-like material, a wood substitute material, a honeycomb panel and / or metal.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, it can be provided that the at least one locking device is arranged on the drawer side frame, preferably on a horizontal web of a container rail.

[0016] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that at least one receptacle is arranged on and / or in the drawer side frame, preferably on a horizontal web of a container rail, a back panel support and / or an inner wall, and / or on an underside or back of the drawer element.

[0017] To further improve the retention of the drawer element on the drawer side panel, it can advantageously be provided that the arrangement has at least one additional, preferably block-shaped, securing element with which the drawer element can be fixed to the drawer side panel after assembly, preferably to a container rail.

[0018] Protection is still sought for a drawer with at least one arrangement according to the invention, as well as for a piece of furniture with a furniture body and at least one drawer according to the invention.

[0019] Finally, protection is sought for a method for fastening at least one plate-shaped drawer element, preferably a drawer back panel and / or a drawer bottom, to a drawer side frame, which has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area for at least partially retaining an edge of the drawer element, by means of at least one fastening device according to the invention, comprising the following method steps: the at least one drawer element is moved in a joining direction transverse to the drawer side frame, an edge of the drawer element is inserted at least partially into the at least one holding area of ​​the drawer side frame, and the edge of the drawer element is secured after joining by means of the at least one fastening device opposite the joining direction.

[0020] According to a preferred embodiment of the method, the fastening device may have at least one receptacle in which the at least one locking device is received at least partially during joining, wherein the receptacle has at least one clearance transverse to the joining direction, and wherein the edge of the drawer element is moved at least to a limited extent in an adjustment direction transverse to the joining direction after joining, and / or the at least one locking device has at least one mounting device with which the at least one locking device is mounted on and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element before joining, preferably in the operating position on a bottom, rear and / or on an end face of the drawer element facing the drawer side frame.

[0021] Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that at least one safety device is pre-assembled before joining to and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element and is anchored by joining to and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element.

One or more of the drawer elements can consist at least partially of wood, a wood-like material and / or a wood substitute material.

[0039] The thickness of the plate-shaped drawer elements is preferably 8 mm or 16 mm.

[0040] At least two of the plate-shaped drawer elements 1, 2, 3, 42 can also be connected to each other by a hinge, e.g., via a film hinge. Thus, it can be provided that the drawer bottom 2 and the drawer back panel 1 are connected to each other by a hinge.

[0041] The drawer side frame 3 has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area 4 for at least partially holding an edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 (see e.g. Fig. 6).

[0042] The drawer side frame 3 is preferably a side frame made of a metallic hollow profile, which can have an inner wall 37 facing the interior of the drawer, an outer wall 48 facing outwards and at least one cavity 47 arranged in between (see also Fig. 17).

[0043] At least one recess 43 can be arranged on the underside of the drawer base 2, in which the horizontal web 34 of a container rail 35 of the drawer side frame 3 can be arranged. Neither such a recess 43 nor a container rail

[0044] However, 35 must be provided.

[0045] Figures 3-10 show a first embodiment of a fastening device for fastening at least one plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, preferably a drawer back panel 1 and / or a drawer bottom 2, to a drawer side frame 3, which has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area 4 for at least partially holding an edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2.

[0046] The fastening device comprises at least one locking device 6, which is designed to enable the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 to be inserted into the at least one holding area 4 in a joining direction 11 transverse to the drawer side frame 3 and to secure the edge of the drawer element 1, 2 after insertion in the opposite direction to the joining direction 11.

[0047] Furthermore, the fastening device has at least one receptacle 12 in which the at least one locking device 6 can be received at least partially during assembly, wherein the receptacle 12 has at least one clearance transverse to the assembly direction 11, so that the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 is at least partially movable in an adjustment direction 16 transverse to the assembly direction 11 after assembly.

[0048] In the first embodiment, at least one receptacle 12 is arranged on the drawer side frame 3, specifically on a horizontal web 34 of a container rail 35.

[0049] The receptacle 12 has an elongated hole. The elongated hole has a width 65 in the longitudinal direction of the drawer side panel 3, which is larger than the width 64 of a part of the locking device 6, which, during assembly, can be received at least partially in the receptacle 12. In this way, the locking device 6 has play in the longitudinal direction of the drawer side panel 3.

[0050] The at least one locking device 6 has at least one - in the specific case shown, four - mounting device 17, with which the at least one locking device 6 can be mounted on and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, preferably - as in the case shown - in the operating position on a bottom side 21 of the drawer element 2.

[0051] The mounting device 17 has at least one tapered mounting tab 32 which can be recessed at least partially into the material of the drawer element 2.

[0052] The at least one locking device 6 has at least one, preferably spring-loaded, locking element 24, preferably wherein the locking element 24 - as in the illustrated case - has at least one inclined surface 28 which, when the edge 5 of the drawer element 2 is inserted into the at least one holding area 4, can be displaced in an insertion direction 11 transverse to the drawer side frame 3.

[0053] The safety device 6 is made at least partially from a sheet of metal.

[0054] The locking device 6 can have a base body 46, e.g., plate-shaped, which can be aligned in a plane parallel to the drawer element 1, 2, and on which at least one mounting device 17 and / or at least one locking element 24 is arranged. To fasten the drawer element 1 and / or 2, one or more locking devices 6 are mounted on an edge 5 of the drawer element 1 and / or 2, depending on the nominal length, properties of the drawer element, and / or requirements for the holding force to be applied, using the mounting device 17. In the case of the drawer bottom 2, the mounting takes place on the underside 21, and in the case of the drawer back panel 1, on the rear side 22 (see Figs. 9, 10).

[0055] The edge 5 of the drawer element 1 and / or 2 is then inserted into the holding area 4 of the drawer side frame 3 in the joining direction 11. The locking device 6 contacts the horizontal web 34 of the container rail 35 at an inclined surface 28, initially springing in and then out again as soon as the locking element 24 reaches the receptacle 12 and snaps into it. The locking element 24 then engages an edge 66 of the receptacle 12, thereby securing the locking device 6 and thus the drawer element 1 and / or 2 after assembly in the opposite direction to the joining direction 11.

[0056] Because the mounting 12 has a clearance, the locking device 6 can be easily moved in an adjustment direction 16 transverse to the joining direction 11 after assembly, e.g. to correct an unwanted deviation from a target position of the drawer element 1.

[0057] The fastening device allows tool-free mounting of the drawer element 1 and / or 2 to the drawer side frame 3. Disassembly can be carried out manually by pressing against the locking element 24 or with a disassembly tool 52, e.g. in the form of a screwdriver.

[0058] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the drawer back panel 1 can be mounted and dismounted analogously to the drawer bottom 2. For this purpose, for example, a hole 45 can be provided on a back panel support 36 to receive the locking element 24 of the locking device 6.

[0059] In the illustrated case, the drawer base 2 and the drawer back panel 1 are connected to each other via a hinged connection 44. In this case, the drawer elements 1 and 2 are assembled together. However, such joint assembly is not mandatory. The drawer elements 1 and 2 can also be movable and assembled independently of each other.

[0060] Figures 11-17 show a second embodiment of a fastening device for fastening at least one plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, preferably a drawer back panel 1 and / or a drawer bottom 2, to a drawer side frame 3, which has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area 4 for at least partially holding an edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2.

[0061] The fastening device comprises at least one locking device 7, which is designed to enable the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 to be inserted into the at least one holding area 4 in an insertion direction 11 transverse to the drawer side frame 3 and to secure the edge of the drawer element 1, 2 after insertion opposite to the insertion direction 11. The fastening device has at least one receptacle 13 in which the at least one locking device 7 can be received, at least partially, during insertion, wherein the receptacle 13 has at least one clearance transverse to the insertion direction 11, so that the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 is at least partially movable in an adjustment direction 16 transverse to the insertion direction 11 after insertion. In the illustrated case, the receptacle 13 has a slot.

[0062] The at least one locking device 7 has at least one mounting device 18 with which the at least one locking device 7 can be mounted on and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, preferably – as in the illustrated case – in the operating position on an end face 23 of the drawer element 1, 2 facing the drawer side frame 3.

[0065] II can be displaced perpendicular to the drawer side frame 3.

[0066] The at least one locking device 7 has at least one spring element 29, preferably facing the drawer side frame 3, which exerts a force on the at least one locking device 7 after assembly in the opposite direction to the assembly direction 11. The at least one locking device 7 is made at least partially from a sheet metal part.

[0067] To secure drawer element 1 and / or 2, one or more locking devices 7 are mounted on the drawer element 1 and / or 2 using the mounting device 28 – in the specific case shown, there are three. Subsequently, an edge 5 of the drawer element 1 and / or 2 is inserted into the holding area 4 of the drawer side frame 3 in the insertion direction 11. The locking element 25 then engages the limiting contour of the receptacle 13, springs in, and then springs back out as soon as the outer contour has been overcome and the drawer element 1 and / or 2 is in the desired holding position. The inclined surface 28 facilitates the springing in of the locking element 25. During assembly, the spring element 29 abuts an inner wall 37 of the drawer side frame 3, in which the receptacle 13 is arranged, and is compressed to varying degrees depending on the tolerance situation in order to minimize play in the plane of the drawer element 1 and / or 2.

[0068] Figures 18-21 show a third embodiment of a fastening device for fastening at least one plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, preferably a drawer back panel 1 and / or a drawer bottom 2, to a drawer side frame 3, which has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area 4 for at least partially holding an edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2.

[0069] The fastening device comprises at least one locking device 8, which is designed to enable the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 to be inserted into the at least one holding area 4 in a joining direction 11 transverse to the drawer side frame 3 and to secure the edge of the drawer element 1, 2 after insertion in the opposite direction to the joining direction 11.

[0070] The fastening device, analogous to the second embodiment, has at least one receptacle arranged in an inner wall 37 of the drawer side frame 3, in which the at least one locking device 8 can be received at least partially during assembly, wherein the receptacle has at least one clearance transverse to the assembly direction 11, so that the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 is at least partially movable in an adjustment direction 16 transverse to the assembly direction 11 after assembly.

[0071] The at least one locking device 8 has at least one – in the specific case shown, four – mounting device 19, with which the at least one locking device 8 can be mounted on and / or in the plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, e.g., pressed in, preferably in the operating position on a bottom 21 or rear side 22 of the drawer element 1, 2. The at least one mounting device 19 has at least one tapered mounting tab 32 provided with a barbed contour 31.

[0072] The at least one locking device 8 has at least one, preferably spring-loaded, locking element 25, wherein the locking element 25 has at least one inclined surface 28 which, when the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 is inserted into the at least one holding area 4, can be displaced in an insertion direction 11 transverse to the drawer side frame 3.

[0073] The at least one locking device 8 has at least one - in the illustrated case two - spring element 30 facing the drawer side frame 3, which exerts a force on the at least one locking device 8 after assembly in the opposite direction to the assembly direction 11 and minimizes any tolerance-related play.

[0074] At least one safety device 8 is made at least partially from a sheet of metal.

[0075] As can be seen in Fig. 21, the horizontal web 34 of the container rail 35 can have a recess 50 for receiving a base body 46 of the locking device 8. In this way, the underside 21 of the drawer bottom 2 can be arranged flush with the horizontal web 34. The recess 50 can be created during the manufacture of the container rail 35, e.g., by embossing.

[0076] Alternatively or additionally, a recess 51 can be provided in the horizontal web 34, which can serve, on the one hand, to accommodate a bend 49 between the base body 46 and a vertical web 67. On the other hand, this recess can

[0078] 52, through which the locking element 25 is accessible for disassembly. A further adjacent recess for the disassembly tool 52 may be provided in the drawer side panel 3.

[0079] For the disassembly of the plate-shaped drawer element 1 or 2, in this embodiment, and similarly in the other embodiments, the locking element 25 can be actuated by means of a suitable disassembly tool 52, e.g. in the form of a screwdriver, so that it can be removed again from or through the receptacle.

[0080] Figures 22-27 show a fourth exemplary embodiment of a

[0081] Fastening device for fastening at least one plate-shaped drawer element 1, 2, preferably a drawer back panel 1 and / or a drawer bottom 2, to a drawer side frame 3, which has at least one, preferably groove-shaped, holding area 4 for at least partially holding an edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2, wherein the fastening device comprises at least one locking device 9, which is designed to enable the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 to be inserted into the at least one holding area 4 in a joining direction 11 transverse to the drawer side frame 3 and to secure the edge of the drawer element 1, 2 after insertion opposite the joining direction 11.

[0082] The fastening device has at least one receptacle 14 in which the at least one locking device 9 can be received, at least partially, during assembly. The receptacle 14 has at least one clearance transverse to the assembly direction 11, so that the edge 5 of the drawer element 1, 2 is at least partially movable in an adjustment direction 16 transverse to the assembly direction 11 after assembly. The at least one receptacle 14 is designed as an elongated slot. The at least one receptacle 14 is arranged on and / or in the drawer side frame 3, preferably on an inner wall 37.
