Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Befestigungsvorrichtung für einstellbare Frontblenden von Schubladen, wobei an jeder Seite des Möbelteiles in einer doppelwandigen Schubladenzarge ein Tragteil befestigt ist und die Frontblende beispielsweise mittels Schrauben an Halteteilen befestigt ist, die in die Tragteile einhängbar sind, wo sie von einer Feder gehalten werden.The invention relates to a fastening device for adjustable front panels of drawers, a supporting part being fastened to each side of the furniture part in a double-walled drawer frame and the front panel being fastened, for example, by means of screws to holding parts which can be suspended in the supporting parts, where they are supported by a spring being held.

Eine derartige Befestigungsvorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 31 48 066 der Anmelderin bekannt. Mit einer derartigen Befestigungsvorrichtung kann die Frontblende beim Zusammenbau des Möbels schnell an der Schublade verankert werden, und es ist auch möglich, ihre Position einzujustieren, sodaß gleiche Vertikal- und Horizontalfugen zwischen mehreren Schubladen erzielt werden.Such a fastening device is known for example from DE-OS 31 48 066 by the applicant. With such a fastening device, the front panel can be quickly anchored to the drawer when the furniture is being assembled, and it is also possible to adjust its position so that the same vertical and horizontal joints are achieved between several drawers.

Ein weiteres Beispiel einer derartigen Frontblendenverankerung ist in der EP-A1-160733 gezeigt.Another example of such a front panel anchoring is shown in EP-A1-160733.

In letzter Zeit sind in vermehrtem Maß Schubladen mit doppelwandigen Schubladenzargen auf den Markt gekommen. Die Schubladenzargen können entweder aus Kunststoff sein, oder aus Metall. Im letzteren Fall übernehmen sie in vielen Fällen gleichzeitig die Funktion einer Ausziehschiene einer Führungsgarnitur.Drawers with double-walled drawer frames have recently come onto the market to an increasing extent. The drawer frames can either be made of plastic or metal. In the latter case, in many cases they take over the function of a pull-out rail of a guide set at the same time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Befestigungsvorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die insbesondere für den Einsatz bei derartigen Schubladenzargen geeignet ist. Es soll möglich sein, die Frontblende rasch an den Schlubladenzargen zu verankern und nachträglich ihre genaue Position einzustellen und sie in dieser zu fixieren.The object of the invention is to provide a fastening device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is particularly suitable for use with such drawer frames. It should be possible to quickly anchor the front panel to the drawer frames and subsequently adjust its exact position and fix it in place.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß an jedem Tragteil die Feder, die eine Blattfeder ist, mittels eines Exzenters senkrecht zur Frontblende verschiebbar ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that the spring, which is a leaf spring, can be displaced perpendicularly to the front panel by means of an eccentric on each support part.

Die Frontblende braucht mit den Halteteilen lediglich in die Tragteile eingeschoben werden, worauf sie sofort arretiert ist. Ein spezielles Werkzeug ist dazu nicht notwendig. Anschließend kann die Frontblende in der Richtung der Höhe und der Seite des Möbels eingestellt werden.The front panel with the holding parts only needs to be pushed into the supporting parts, whereupon it is locked immediately. A special tool is not necessary for this. The front panel can then be adjusted in the direction of the height and side of the furniture.

Ist die Frontblende justiert, werden die Federn durch Verdrehen der Exzenter nach hinten gezogen, und die Frontblende wird mit den Schubladenzargen verspreizt.Once the front panel has been adjusted, the springs are pulled backwards by turning the eccentrics, and the front panel is expanded with the drawer frames.

Die Seitenverstellbarkeit der Frontblende wird vorteilhaft dadurch erreicht, daß die Halteteile zweiteilig ausgeführt sind, und daß zwischen beiden Teilen, die ineinander formschlüssig gehalten und seitlich verschiebbar sind, die Klemmelemente angeordnet sind.The lateral adjustability of the front panel is advantageously achieved in that the holding parts are made in two parts and that the clamping elements are arranged between the two parts which are held in a form-fitting manner and are laterally displaceable.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Blattfeder eine Ausnehmung aufweist, in der ein Haken des Halteteiles einrastet.An embodiment of the invention provides that the leaf spring has a recess in which a hook of the holding part engages.

Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Halteteile nach hinten offene Horizontalschlitze aufweisen, in die in den Tragteilen gelagerte Exzenter einschiebbar sind.A further embodiment of the invention provides that the holding parts have horizontal slots which are open to the rear and into which eccentrics mounted in the supporting parts can be inserted.

Auf diese Art und Weise wird eine Höhenverstellung der Frontblende erzielt. Durch Verdrehen der Exzenter werden die Halteteile angehoben oder abgesenkt. Natürlich kann auf diese Art und Weise auch die horizontale Ausrichtung der Frontblende eingestellt werden.In this way, a height adjustment of the front panel is achieved. The holding parts are raised or lowered by turning the eccentric. Of course, the horizontal orientation of the front panel can also be adjusted in this way.

Vorteilhaft ist vorgesehen, daß die Exzenter im Bereich der Ausnehmungen der Federn gelagert sind.It is advantageously provided that the eccentrics are mounted in the area of the recesses of the springs.

Weiters ist vorgesehen, daß die Horizontalschlitze die Haken teilen.It is also provided that the horizontal slots divide the hooks.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Tragteile und die Halteteile in doppelwandige Schubladenzargen eingeschoben sind, in denen die Tragteile befestigt, beispielsweise verschraubt sind.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the supporting parts and the holding parts are inserted into double-walled drawer frames in which the supporting parts are fastened, for example screwed.

Ein besonders guter Halt der beiden Teile, die jeweils einen Halteteil bilden, wird bei guter Führung der Frontblende während des seitlichen Verschiebens dadurch erzielt, daß jeweils einer der beiden Teile einen T-förmigen Ansatz aufweist, der in einer korrespondierenden Ausnehmung des anderen Teiles geführt ist.A particularly good hold of the two parts, each of which forms a holding part, is achieved with good guidance of the front panel during lateral displacement in that one of the two parts has a T-shaped projection which is guided in a corresponding recess in the other part .

Die Federn, in denen die Halteteile einhaken, sind vorteilhaft in einem Schlitz im Halteteil an geordnet und zwar unter Spannung.The springs, in which the holding parts hook, are advantageously arranged in a slot in the holding part and under tension.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Klemmelemente Exzenter sind, die in einander zu einem Zylinder ergänzenden Ausnehmungen in den Teilen eines jeden Halteteiles lagern.In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the clamping elements are eccentrics, which support recesses in the parts of each holding part which are complementary to a cylinder.

Nachfolgend wird eine Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen eingehend beschrieben, ohne daß die Erfindung darauf eingschränkt sein soll. Ebenso sollen die in den nachfolgenden Patentansprüchen angeführten Bezugszeichen keine Einschränkung bedeuten, sie dienen lediglich dem erleichterten Auffinden bezogener Teile in den Figuren der Zeichnungen.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures in the accompanying drawings, without the invention being intended to be restricted thereto. Likewise, the reference numerals cited in the following patent claims are not intended to mean any restriction, they merely serve to make it easier to find related parts in the figures of the drawings.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt ein schematisch gehaltenes Schaubild einer Schublade mit erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtungen für die Frontblende.Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a drawer with fastening devices according to the invention for the front panel.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch eine Schubladenzarge im vorderen Bereich und durch eine erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung, die Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt nach der Linie III-III der Fig. 2, die Fig. 4 zeigt einen Horizontalschnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung, die Fig. 5 zeigt den Ausschnitt A der Fig. 4 während des Aushängens der Frontblende, die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Stirnansicht eines Tragteiles der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung, die Fig. 7 zeigt eine Seitenansicht der Feder,und die Fig. 8 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf den Exzenter für die Höhenverstellung.FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through a drawer frame in the front area and through a fastening device according to the invention, FIG. 3 shows a section along the line III-III of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 shows a horizontal section through a fastening device according to the invention, the Fig. 5 shows the detail A of Fig. 4 while the front panel is unhooked, Fig. 6 shows an end view of a supporting part of the fastening device according to the invention, Fig. 7 shows a side view of the spring, and Fig. 8 shows a plan view of the Eccentric for height adjustment.

Die wesentlichen Teile der Schublade sind die beiden Schubladenzargen 11, die Frontblende 13, der Schubladenboden 15 und die Schubladenrückwand 16. In jeder Schubladenzarge 11 ist vorne eine erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung 10 eingesetzt.The essential parts of the drawer are the two drawer frames 11, the front panel 13, the drawer bottom 15 and the drawer rear wall 16. A fastening device 10 according to the invention is inserted in the front of each drawer frame 11.

An der Frontblende 13 sind an jeder Seite Halteteile 20 befestigt. Die Halteteile bestehen aus zwei Teilen 1 und 2, wobei der Teil 1 jeweils unmittelbar an der Frontblende befestigt ist und der Teil 2 am Teil 1 gehalten ist. Der Teil 1 weist einen T-förmigen Ansatz 17 auf, der in einer entsprechenden Nut 18 im Teil 2 geführt ist. Bei montierter Frontblende 13 ist diese daher mit den Teilen 1 in den Teilen 2 seitlich verschiebbar.Holding parts 20 are attached to the front panel 13 on each side. The holding parts consist of two parts 1 and 2, part 1 being attached directly to the front panel and part 2 being held on part 1. Part 1 has a T-shaped projection 17 which is guided in a corresponding groove 18 in part 2. When the front panel 13 is mounted, it can therefore be moved laterally with parts 1 in parts 2.

Zwischen den Teilen 1 und 2 sind in Ausnehmungen 19 Exzenter 3 angeordnet. Nach erfolgter Seitenverstellung werden die Exzenter angezogen, sodaß die Teile 1, 2 in bezug aufeinander fixiert sind.Between parts 1 and 2 19 eccentrics 3 are arranged in recesses. After the side adjustment, the eccentrics are tightened so that the parts 1, 2 are fixed in relation to each other.

Die Tragteile 7 sind als flache Gehäuse ausgeführt und in die doppelwandigen Schubladenzargen 11 hineingeschoben.The support parts 7 are designed as a flat housing and pushed into the double-walled drawer frames 11.

Die äußere Wand 21 der Schubladenzarge 11 weist eine Durchbrechung 22 auf, die den Zugriff eines Verstellwerk zeuges zum Tragteil 7 bzw. zu den darin gelagerten Exzentern 4, 6 ermöglicht.The outer wall 21 of the drawer frame 11 has an opening 22 which gives access to an adjustment mechanism Conveys to the support member 7 and the eccentrics 4, 6 stored therein.

Die Tragteile 7 weisen eine schlitzförmige Höhlung 23 auf, in die jeweils eine Blattfeder 5 eingesetzt ist. Die Blattfeder 5 ist zusätzlich mittels des Exzenters 6 gehalten.The support parts 7 have a slot-shaped cavity 23, in each of which a leaf spring 5 is inserted. The leaf spring 5 is additionally held by means of the eccentric 6.

Die Blattfeder 5 weist eine Ausnehmung 24 auf.The leaf spring 5 has a recess 24.

Der Teil 2 des Hakenteiles 20 ist an beiden Seiten mit Haken 25 versehen.The part 2 of the hook part 20 is provided with hooks 25 on both sides.

Zur Montage der Frontblende 13 werden die Halteteile 20 in die Zargen 11 und in die Tragteile 7 eingeschoben und rasten mit einem Haken 25 in der Ausnehmung 24 der Feder 5 ein. Die Frontblende 13 ist somit sofort und ohne daß ein Werkzeug benützt werden muß an den Schubladenzargen 11 gehalten.To assemble the front panel 13, the holding parts 20 are inserted into the frames 11 and the supporting parts 7 and engage with a hook 25 in the recess 24 of the spring 5. The front panel 13 is thus held immediately and without the need to use a tool on the drawer frames 11.

Die Möglichkeit der Seitenverstellung der Frontblende durch Verschieben der Teile 1 in bezug auf die Teile 2 wurde bereits erklärt.The possibility of side adjustment of the front panel by moving parts 1 in relation to parts 2 has already been explained.

In den Tragteilen 7 sind Exzenter 4 für die Höhenverstellung gelagert. Diese Exzenter 4 befinden sich im Bereich der Ausnehmungen 24 der Federn 5.In the support parts 7 eccentrics 4 are mounted for the height adjustment. These eccentrics 4 are located in the area of the recesses 24 of the springs 5.

Die Teile 2 der Halteteile 20 weisen im Bereich der Haken 25 je einen Horizontalschlitz 26 auf, der nach hinten, d. h. zur Schubladenrückwand 16 offen ist.The parts 2 of the holding parts 20 each have a horizontal slot 26 in the area of the hooks 25, which slits towards the rear, ie. H. to the drawer rear wall 16 is open.

Werden die Halteteile 20 in die Tragteile 7 eingeschoben, um von den Federn 5 gehalten zu werden, umfassen sie die Exzenter 4 oben und unten. Durch Verdrehen der Exzenter 4 kann nun die Frontblende 13 an jeder Seite der Schublade angehoben od er abgesenkt werden.If the holding parts 20 are pushed into the supporting parts 7 in order to be held by the springs 5, they comprise the eccentrics 4 above and below. By turning the eccentric 4 the front panel 13 can now be raised or lowered on each side of the drawer.

Befindet sich die Frontblende 13 in der richtigen Position, werden an jeder Seite der Schublade die Exzenter 6 verdreht und die Federn 5 nach hinten gezogen. Die Frontblende 13 wird somit an die Stirnseiten der Schubladenzargen 11 gepreßt und fixiert.If the front panel 13 is in the correct position, the eccentrics 6 are rotated on each side of the drawer and the springs 5 are pulled backwards. The front panel 13 is thus pressed and fixed on the end faces of the drawer frames 11.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt, daß die Frontblende 13 dadurch leicht wieder entfernt werden kann, daß ein Schraubenzieher 14 durch den Schlitz 26 im Teil 2 geführt wird und die Feder 5 nach hinten, d. h. vom Haken 25 wegdrückt. Selbstverständlich ist es vorteilhaft, den Exzenter 6 vorher so zu verdrehen, daß die Feder 5 gelockert wird.Fig. 5 shows that the front panel 13 can be easily removed again that a screwdriver 14 is guided through the slot 26 in part 2 and the spring 5 to the rear, i. H. pushes away from the hook 25. Of course, it is advantageous to turn the eccentric 6 beforehand so that the spring 5 is loosened.

Wie insbesondere aus der Fig. 3 ersichtlich, ist oben an jeder Schubladenzarge 11 ein Horizontalsteg 12 ausgebildet, der die Funktion einer Ausziehschiene einer Ausziehführungsgarnitur übernimmt. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, a horizontal web 12 is formed on the top of each drawer frame 11, which takes over the function of a pull-out rail of a pull-out guide set.
