Anchorage fitting for a front panel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing panel attachment fittings for drawers lack simple and stable adjustment mechanisms for inclination, especially on tall drawers, and often require manual assembly work for angle adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A fastening fitting with an eccentric bolt and a fork or guide plate mechanism that allows independent adjustment of panel inclination, featuring a locking system with release elements for easy alignment and secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a panel mounting fitting uses a complex locking mechanism to secure the panel, then the connection stability is improved, but the ease of operation for angle adjustment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The locking means are designed to be rotatable and horizontally movable, transitioning from an open position to a connected position. This dynamic mechanism allows the locking means to automatically engage and disengage, providing stable connection during operation while enabling easy adjustment when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The locking means automatically lock into place through rotation and horizontal movement when the panel is attached, without requiring additional manual assembly steps. The system self-secures the panel at the desired angle, improving both connection stability and ease of operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If the panel mounting fitting allows for tilt adjustment, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking means can rotate and move horizontally to adjust the panel inclination angle. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the panel to be tilted to different angles while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, avoiding the need for complex multi-component adjustment systems
Solution Approach 2:
The locking means serve multiple functions: they secure the panel to the drawer side, enable inclination adjustment, and provide positional stability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate adjustment mechanisms, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining adaptability

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy and secure angle adjustment of panels without manual assembly, providing stable and adjustable solutions for both tall and standard drawers.
Implementation Method 1
the adjusting element is designed as an eccentric bolt (5'), and in which either means for tilt adjustment comprise a fork (4) of the panel mounting part (2), directed towards the panel fitting part (1), which receives the adjusting element (5'),

AI summary
The invention relates to a fastening fitting for a drawer panel, wherein the panel carries aligned panel mounting parts (2, 2', 2'') on its rear side and the lateral walls of the drawer carry panel fitting parts (1, 1') which receive the panel mounting parts (2, 2', 2''), which panel mounting parts and panel fitting parts can be operatively connected using a fixing means (7, 7'). The panel mounting parts (2, 2', 2'') have means (4, 4', 8) for adjusting the inclination of the panel, said means being operatively connected to adjustment bodies (5, 5') of the panel fitting parts (1, 1') and pivoting the panel about an axis running perpendicularly to the base side or cover side of the drawer.
