Description

[0001] Connecting device for connecting a drawer frame to a drawer slide

[0002] The invention relates to a connecting device for, preferably detachably, connecting a drawer frame to a drawer slide guide, with at least one coupling device to be arranged on the at least one drawer frame, wherein the connecting device

[0003] at least one first coupling element to be arranged and / or designed on a drawer slide rail, and

[0004] at least one second coupling element, which is to be arranged and / or formed on a drawer slide rail,

[0005] wherein the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element are configured differently from one another. The invention further relates to an arrangement with at least one such connecting device.

[0006] Various connecting devices for joining a drawer frame to a drawer slide are already known from the prior art. For example, the applicant's own documents AT 526396 and EP 0 421 458 A1 disclose various embodiments of such connecting devices. It is evident that the different embodiments have differently designed coupling elements and coupling devices. Among other things, the different designs of the coupling elements may be due to the type of drawer slide.

[0007] A disadvantage of the current state of the art is that different coupling devices must be provided for different coupling elements, which entails high development, cost and production costs.

[0008] The object of the invention is to at least partially overcome the disadvantages described above and to provide a connection device improved compared to the prior art. Furthermore, an arrangement with at least one such connection device is also to be provided.

[0009] This problem is solved by the features of independent claims 1 and 11.

[0010] According to the invention, a connection device as described above is therefore provided in such a way that the at least one coupling device, preferably detachably, can be coupled to the at least one first coupling element and to the at least one second coupling element.

[0011] Because at least one coupling device can be coupled with different coupling elements, only one type of coupling device needs to be developed and produced, which significantly reduces development, cost and production effort.

[0012] In other words, a coupling device is provided which is compatible with several different coupling elements. However, a coupling device according to the invention comprises only one type of coupling element at a time.

[0013] A detachable coupling of the coupling device with a coupling element is particularly advantageous, as this allows a drawer frame and subsequently a drawer to be detached from a drawer slide. With regard to an arrangement according to the invention, it is provided that this

[0014] at least one drawer front,

[0015] at least one connecting device according to the invention, and at least one first drawer extension guide with a first drawer rail, and

[0016] at least a second drawer slide with a second drawer rail,

[0017] comprising, wherein the at least one coupling device is arranged on the at least one drawer frame, the at least one first coupling element is arranged on the first drawer rail and the at least one second coupling element is arranged on the second drawer rail.

[0018] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0019] Advantageously, it can be provided that the at least one coupling device has at least one, preferably pivotable, coupling lever for coupling the at least one coupling device with the at least one first and the at least one second coupling element in a preferably releasable manner.

[0020] Such a coupling lever represents a simple solution for coupling the coupling device with at least one first and at least one second coupling element.

[0021] The coupling lever is therefore designed in such a way that it is compatible with coupling elements of different designs.

[0022] Particularly when the coupling lever is pivotable, a coupling between the coupling lever and the coupling element can be established or released by simply pivoting the coupling lever. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the at least one coupling lever can be arranged in a first coupling position, in which the at least one coupling lever is coupled to the at least one first coupling element, and in a second coupling position, in which the at least one coupling lever is coupled to the at least one second coupling element, and in a release position, in which the at least one coupling lever is released from the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element.

[0023] In the coupled positions, the coupling lever is therefore coupled to the respective coupling elements. This can be achieved, for example, by having the at least one coupling lever engage with the at least one first coupling element in the first coupled position and with the at least one second coupling element in the second coupled position.

[0024] It may be provided that the coupling lever can be coupled positively and / or forcefully with the at least one first coupling element and with the at least one second coupling element.

[0025] This provides a simple, and in particular detachable, way to couple the coupling lever with the respective coupling element.

[0026] Advantageously, the connecting device may further comprise a base body, wherein the at least one coupling lever assumes a first relative position to the base body in the first coupling position and a second relative position to the base body in the second coupling position, the first relative position and the second relative position being different from each other. In other words, the coupling lever is in different relative positions to the base body depending on the coupling element with which it is coupled.

[0027] This helps ensure that the coupling lever is compatible with various coupling elements.

[0028] It can further be provided that the at least one coupling lever, preferably pivotably, is mounted on the base body, preferably wherein the first relative position is a first angle of the at least one coupling lever relative to the base body and the second relative position is a second angle of the at least one coupling lever relative to the base body.

[0029] The base of the connecting device can therefore serve as a carrier for the coupling lever. This allows for a compact and simple design of the connecting device.

[0030] Especially when the coupling lever is pivotally mounted on the base body, the first and second relative positions can be defined by a first and a second angle. The first and second angles are different from each other.

[0031] In other words, the coupling lever can be pivoted to different degrees depending on the coupling element with which it is coupled.

[0032] It may also be provided that the coupling device includes a force storage device, preferably a spring, with which the coupling lever can be subjected to a force, preferably in the direction of the first and / or the second coupling position.

[0033] The coupling lever can therefore be biased towards a coupling position. It is particularly preferred that the at least one coupling lever has a first hook-shaped section, at least one adjoining second hook-shaped section, and at least one projection adjoining the second hook-shaped section.

[0034] Such a design of the coupling lever provides a wide variety of connection options on the coupling lever, which simplifies the coupling of the coupling lever with differently designed coupling elements.

[0035] It may further be provided that the at least one first coupling element is arranged in a first coupling position at least partially in the first hook-shaped section and / or the at least one second hook-shaped section or in a space formed between the at least one second hook-shaped section and the at least one projection in order to couple the first coupling element with the coupling device.

[0036] Furthermore, it may be provided that the at least one second coupling element is arranged in a second coupling position at least partially in the first hook-shaped section and / or the at least one second hook-shaped section or in a space formed between the at least one second hook-shaped section and the at least one projection in order to couple the second coupling element with the coupling device.

[0037] The various coupling elements can therefore be arranged at different points on the coupling lever in order to couple the respective coupling element with the coupling device.

[0038] Advantageously, for each type of coupling element, i.e. at least for the first coupling element and the second coupling element, a separate point is provided for attaching the respective coupling element to the coupling lever.

[0039] Preferably, it can be provided that at least one first coupling element is arranged in a first coupling position in a space formed between the at least one second hook-shaped section and the at least one projection in order to couple the first coupling element with the coupling device, and that the at least one second coupling element is arranged in a second coupling position in the first hook-shaped section and the at least one second hook-shaped section in order to couple the second coupling element with the coupling device.

[0040] It may be provided that at least one projection has a beveled area.

[0041] Such a beveled area makes it easier to couple the coupling lever with one of the coupling elements.

[0042] Particularly preferably, it may be provided that the at least one first coupling element is designed in the form of at least one web on the drawer slide of the drawer extension guide and / or wherein the at least one second coupling element has a contour corresponding to the first and the at least one second hook-shaped section.

[0043] This allows the design of the coupling element to be easily adapted to the technical conditions (for example, the type of drawer extension guide).

[0044] Advantageously, at least one first coupling element can be made of metal and / or at least one second coupling element of plastic. By selecting the appropriate material, the stability of each coupling element can be improved, and unwanted noise generated when the drawer slide is moved can be prevented or at least reduced.

[0045] With regard to an arrangement, it can be provided that the first loading rail and / or the second loading rail has at least one recess into which the at least one coupling lever can be arranged at least partially, preferably wherein the coupling lever is arranged at least partially in the at least one recess in the first coupling position and / or second coupling position, and / or wherein the at least one coupling lever is arranged in the release position, preferably completely, outside the at least one recess.

[0046] This allows the coupling lever to be arranged in a space-saving manner in the first or second coupling position, thereby minimizing the required installation space within a piece of furniture (which is very limited).

[0047] Furthermore, this training also makes it possible to arrange the coupling lever at least temporarily inside the drawer rail.

[0048] It may be provided that the at least one first coupling element and / or the at least one second coupling element is arranged inside the at least one drawer extension guide, in particular inside a drawer rail of the at least one first or the at least one second drawer extension guide.

[0049] Advantageously, in such an embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one first and / or the at least one second coupling element is arranged in a region of the at least one recess.

[0050] Advantageously, it can be provided that the at least one first coupling element is formed in the form of at least one web on the first drawer rail of the drawer extension guide, wherein the web is arranged in the at least one recess.

[0051] This represents a simple implementation of a coupling element.

[0052] It may be provided that the at least one coupling lever assumes a first relative position to the first loading rail in the first coupling position and a second relative position to the second loading rail in the second coupling position, wherein the first relative position and the second relative position are different from each other.

[0053] The coupling lever therefore assumes a different relative position to the first or second loading rail, depending on the coupling element with which it is coupled.

[0054] Preferably, the first drawer slide may have a first cabinet rail to be attached to a furniture carcass, wherein the first drawer rail is movable relative to the first cabinet rail.

[0055] In particular, it may be provided that the first drawer rail is mounted so as to be movable on the first cabinet rail, preferably directly.

[0056] In other words, the first drawer slide can be a partial extension. Preferably, the second drawer slide can also have a second cabinet rail to be attached to a furniture carcass and at least one intermediate rail movable relative to the second cabinet rail, wherein the second drawer rail is movable relative to the second cabinet rail and the at least one intermediate rail.

[0057] In particular, it can be provided that the first drawer rail is movably mounted, preferably directly, on the at least one intermediate rail and the at least one intermediate rail is movably mounted, preferably directly, on the second cabinet rail.

[0058] In other words, the second drawer rail is only indirectly movable via at least one intermediate rail mounted on the second cabinet rail.

[0059] The second drawer slide can therefore be a full extension slide.

[0060] Accordingly, it is possible to couple a drawer frame with both partial and full extensions using only one type of coupling device, with a connecting device or arrangement as described above.

[0061] Particularly preferably, the arrangement may include at least one ejection device, wherein the at least one connecting device has a first actuating element arranged on the at least one drawer side and a second actuating element arranged on the at least one drawer extension guide, wherein the first actuating element and the second actuating element are each rigidly formed at least in the direction of a longitudinal extension of the at least one drawer extension guide, wherein the second actuating element is at least temporarily contacted or contactable by the first actuating element in order to transmit a force applied to the at least one drawer side to actuate the at least one ejection device on the at least one drawer extension guide.

[0062] It has been shown that, with appropriate design of the arrangement, the first actuating element and the second actuating element can each be designed to be rigid at least in the direction of a longitudinal extension of the at least one drawer extension guide.

[0063] The rigid design of the actuating elements ensures consistently reliable operation of the ejection device, as a force applied to the drawer frame can be transferred directly to the drawer extension guide without compression of a buffer or the like.

[0064] Connecting the drawer frame to the drawer slide is also straightforward, as the operating elements only need to make contact, or at least be capable of making contact, at least intermittently. For example, the operating elements can be completely separate when connecting the drawer frame and drawer slide, thus enabling a simple connection.

[0065] It may be provided that the second actuating element is designed in the form of at least one web on a drawer rail of the at least one drawer extension guide, and / or wherein the second actuating element is part of a guide block arranged on the drawer rail of the at least one drawer extension guide.

[0066] This allows for the simple implementation of a second actuating element. By using different designs for this second actuating element, the actuating element can be adapted to predetermined boundary conditions, such as the design of at least one extension guide.

[0067] Preferably, the first actuating element may be designed in the form of at least one projection on the base body.

[0068] Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the first actuating element is part of the at least one coupling device, preferably the at least one coupling lever, preferably wherein the first actuating element is formed by the projection of the at least one coupling lever.

[0069] These features allow the first actuating element to be adapted to the design of the second actuating element. In particular, if the connecting device has two different types of second actuating elements, the connecting device is compatible with various second actuating elements. This reduces development, production, and manufacturing costs.

[0070] If the first actuating element is formed on the coupling lever, and in particular if it is formed by the projection, then the actuating element can be implemented in the simplest way and extremely cost-effectively.

[0071] The arrangement may include at least one first drawer slide with a first drawer rail, or at least one second drawer slide with a second drawer rail. In particular, the first drawer slide and the second drawer slide may be designed differently from each other.

[0072] It may also be advantageous to provide that

[0073] the second actuating element is formed integrally with the at least one first coupling element and / or the at least one second coupling element, preferably wherein the second actuating element is formed by the at least one first coupling element.

[0074] This allows for a cost-effective and space-saving design of an arrangement.

[0075] Further details and advantages of preferred embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures and the drawings. These show:

[0081] Fig. 7A is a schematic representation of part of the second embodiment of the arrangement,

[0082] Fig. 7B shows section BB of Fig. 7A, and Fig. 8A-F shows schematic representations of detail A of Fig. 7B in different positions of the arrangement.

[0083] Figures 1A and 1B show schematic perspective views of a drawer 100 with an arrangement 10. The drawer 100 comprises two drawer sides 2, a drawer front 101, a drawer bottom 102 and a drawer back panel 103.

[0084] Part of a furniture carcass 104 is also visible. The drawer 100 can be moved in and out of a furniture carcass 104 via two drawer slides 3, 11.

[0085] Such a drawer 100 therefore has two arrangements 10, each with a connecting device 1.

[0086] Fig. 2 shows a schematic exploded view of a connecting device 1. The connecting device 1 has a base body 9. A locking device 17 is slidably mounted in the base body 9 along its longitudinal axis.

[0087] The locking device 17 is subjected to a force via a spring 17a, directed downwards in the illustration according to Fig. 2.

[0088] A connecting part 18, linked to a front panel 101, can be inserted into the recess 17b of the locking device 17. Thus, a front panel 101 can be connected to the connecting device 1, and subsequently to a drawer 100, via the locking device 17. The locking device 17 can be pushed upwards against the force of the spring 17a to release the front panel 101 from the drawer 100.

[0089] Furthermore, a projection 9a is visible on the connecting device 1, which in some embodiments of the invention can serve as the first actuating element 15.

[0090] The connecting device also includes a coupling device 4 for coupling the connecting device 4 with a drawer extension guide 3, 11.

[0091] The coupling device 4 has a coupling lever 8 which is pivotably mounted on the base body 9. The coupling lever 8 is biased towards a first or second coupling position by a spring 16. The spring 16 is also mounted on the base body 9.

[0092] The coupling lever 8 has a first hook-shaped region 8a, a second hook-shaped region 8b adjoining it, and a projection 8c adjoining the second hook-shaped region 8b. A space 8d for receiving a first coupling element 6 is formed between the second hook-shaped region 8b and the projection 8c.

[0093] Furthermore, a return device 19 is visible. The return device 19 has a return contour 19a along which the coupling lever 8 with an associated contour 8e moves when pivoted. The return device 19 is movable relative to the coupling lever 8. When the return device 19 is moved in the direction of the coupling lever 8, the return contour 19a pushes the coupling lever 8 into a release position in which it is released from the first coupling element 6 and the second coupling element 7. Fig. 3 shows a schematic perspective view of a first embodiment of an arrangement 10.

[0094] It can be seen that the arrangement comprises a connecting device 1, a drawer frame 2 and a first drawer extension guide 3.

[0095] The drawer frame 2 is designed as a hollow profile, with the connecting device being largely located within the hollow profile of the drawer frame 2. A connecting part 18 is also visible, which is locked to the locking device 17 and which can be connected to a front panel 101.

[0096] The first drawer slide 3 comprises a first drawer rail 5 and a first cabinet rail 3a, wherein the first drawer rail 5 is movably mounted on the first cabinet rail 3a. The drawer slide 3 according to this embodiment is therefore a partial extension.

[0097] The cabinet rail 3a can be arranged on a furniture cabinet 104.

[0098] The first drawer slide has a longitudinal extent L.

[0099] Figures 4A and 4B show schematic representations of part of the first embodiment of the arrangement 10. It can be seen that the projection 9a has a centering element 9b, which can be inserted into a groove 5c in the drawer rail 5. The centering element 9b is spaced from the bottom of the groove 5c in every position. Figures 5A to 5D show schematic representations of section AA of Figure 4B in various positions of the arrangement 10.

[0100] In Fig. 5A, the coupling device 5 is not yet coupled to the drawer rail 5. It can be seen that the drawer rail 5 has a recess 5b in which a web 5a is arranged. The web 5a serves on the one hand as the first coupling element 6 and on the other hand as the second actuating element 15. The coupling lever 8 is biased by the spring 16 in the direction of a first coupling position.

[0101] To couple the coupling device 4 with the first coupling element 6, the connecting device 1, and thus also the coupling device 4, is moved in the direction of the first coupling element 6. In doing so, the coupling lever 8 with contour 8e comes into contact with the web 5a. If the connecting device 1 is moved further, the coupling lever 8 is pivoted along contour 8e against the force of the spring 16 until the beginning of the first hook-shaped section 8a passes over the web 5a. The web 5a then engages in the first hook-shaped section 8a (Fig. 5B) and is thus provisionally coupled.

[0102] To finally couple the coupling device 4, the connecting device 1 must be moved further towards the web 5a; the coupling lever 8 then also passes over the web 5a with the second hook-shaped section 8b. The web 5a is then located in an area between the second hook-shaped section 8b and the adjoining projection 8c (Fig. 5C).

[0103] It can be seen that the projection 8c is chamfered. This allows the coupling lever 8 to pivot further, with the web 5 coming to rest essentially without play in a space 8d between the second hook-shaped section 8b and the projection 8c of the coupling lever 8. The coupling device 4 is thus coupled to the first coupling element 6 (Fig. 5D). The position of the coupling lever 8 in Fig. 5D corresponds to a first coupling position, in which the coupling lever assumes a first relative position to the base body 9 and the first drawer slide 5 of the first drawer extension guide 3. The coupling lever 8 thus forms a first angle with the base body 9 and the first drawer slide 5 of the first drawer extension guide 3.

[0104] To actuate an ejection device of the arrangement 10, a user applies a force to the front panel 101 of the drawer 100. This force is transmitted via the connecting part 18 and the locking device 17 to the base body 9 and the coupling lever 8. The coupling lever 8 then transmits the force via the projection 8c to the web 5a and thus to the first drawer rail 5 and the first drawer extension guide 3.

[0105] The projection 8c thus acts as the first actuating element 14 and the bridge 5a as the second actuating element 15. The first coupling element 6 and the second actuating element 15 are therefore formed in one piece.

[0106] In other words, the bridge 5a fulfills a dual function as the first coupling element 6 and as the second actuating element 15.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first loading rail 5 and the coupling lever 8 are preferably made of metal. This ensures that the friction between the web 5a and the projection 8c is sufficient to prevent the coupling lever 8 from being forced along the chamfered projection 8c and thus detaching from the web 5a when the projection 8c is pressed against the web 5a.

[0108] Fig. 6 shows a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the arrangement 10. Again, the arrangement 10 comprises a connecting device 1, a drawer frame 2 and, in contrast to the previous embodiment, a second drawer extension guide 11. The connecting device 1 and drawer frame 2 are essentially designed analogously to the previous embodiment.

[0109] The second drawer slide 11 comprises a second drawer rail 12, which is slidably mounted on a central rail 11b. The central rail 11b is in turn slidably mounted on a cabinet rail 11a, which can be connected to a furniture cabinet 104. The second drawer slide 11 is therefore a full extension slide.

[0110] The second drawer slide has a longitudinal extension L.

[0111] Fig. 7A shows a schematic representation of part of the second embodiment of the arrangement, and Fig. 7B shows section BB of Fig. 7A.

[0112] It can be seen that a ramp block 13 is arranged on the loading rail 12. The ramp block 13 has a contact point 13b at which it can be contacted by the projection 9a. In addition, the ramp block 13 also has a contour 8a corresponding to the first hook-shaped section 8a and the second hook-shaped section 8b of the coupling lever 8. This contour 8a fulfills the function of the second coupling element 7.

[0113] Figures 8A to 8D show schematic representations of detail A of Figure 7B in different positions of arrangement 10.

[0114] Fig. 8A shows the initial position of the coupling device 4 before coupling with the second coupling element 7. The coupling lever 8 is biased by the spring 16 towards a second coupling position. It can be seen that the coupling lever 8 rests on the ramp 13 at the beginning of the first hook-shaped section 8a.

[0115] To couple the coupling device 4 with the second coupling element 7, the connecting device 1 is moved in the direction of the second coupling element 7. This also moves the coupling lever 8 in the direction of the second coupling element 7 (Fig. 8B) until the coupling lever with the beginning of the first hook-shaped section 8a is positioned in an opening 12a of the loading rail 12 (Fig. 8C).

[0116] It can be seen that the second coupling element 8 is located inside the loading rail 12 and behind the opening 12a.

[0117] As the connecting device 1 is moved further towards the second coupling element 7, the coupling lever 8 with its first hook-shaped section 8a passes over a first hump 7a of the second coupling element 7 and locks it in the first hook-shaped section 8a. The coupling device 4 is provisionally coupled to the second coupling element 7 (Fig. 8D).

[0118] To finally couple the coupling device with the second coupling element, the connecting device 1 is moved further until the second hook-shaped section 8c has also passed over the first protrusion 7a. The first protrusion 7a is then positively engaged in the first hook-shaped section 8a, and a second protrusion 7b is positively engaged in the second hook-shaped section 8b. The two protrusions 7a, 7b of the second connecting element 7 form a contour 13a corresponding to the first hook-shaped section 8a and the second hook-shaped section 8b (Fig. 8E).

[0119] In Fig. 8E, the coupling device 4 is thus coupled to the second coupling element 7 via the coupling lever 8. The coupling lever 8 is therefore in a second relative position relative to the base body 9 or the loading rail 12.

[0120] In comparison with Fig. 5D, it can be seen that the first relative position in the first coupling position (Fig. 5D) differs from the second relative position (Fig. 8E) in the second coupling position. In the second coupling position, the coupling lever 8 is positioned further in the recess 12a of the loading rail 12. In other words, the coupling lever 8 is pivoted by a larger angle in the second relative position than in the first relative position.

[0121] Figure 8E also shows that the projection 9a is spaced apart from the contact point 13b of the ramp block 13. Furthermore, the projection 8c is freestanding, i.e., there is a gap between the projection 8c and the ramp block 13.

[0122] To actuate the ejection device of the arrangement 10, a user applies a force to the front panel 101 of the drawer 100. This moves the front panel 101 relative to the drawer rail 12, causing the projection 9a to come into contact with the contact point 13b of the guide block 13.

[0123] The applied force is then transmitted via the connecting part 18 and the locking device 17 to the base body 9 and the projection 9a. The projection 9a contacts the guide block 13 at the contact point 13b and thus transmits the force to the guide block and subsequently to the second guide rail 12 of the second drawer slide 11.

[0124] The projection 9a thus acts as the first actuating element 14 and the ramp block 13 as the second actuating element 15. The second coupling element 7 and the second actuating element 15 are therefore formed integrally in the form of the ramp block 13. It is also evident that the projection 8c remains free of the ramp block 13 in the position shown in Fig. 8F. However, the distance between the projection 8 and the ramp block 13 is reduced compared to the position shown in Fig. 8E.

[0125] In the second embodiment, the overrun block is advantageously made of plastic, while the coupling lever 8a is made of metal. The friction between the coupling lever 8a and the overrun block 13 in the area of ​​the projection 8c is therefore quite low, so that when the projection 8c is pressed against the overrun block 13, the coupling lever 8 would be forced out of the second coupled position and the coupling device 4 would thus be decoupled.

[0126] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the projection 9a is also made of plastic. This could minimize unwanted noise when the projection 9a strikes the ramp block 13. Reference numeral list:
