Description

Drawer with a divider system

The present invention relates to a drawer with a bottom, a rear wall and a divider system for dividing the drawer interior, wherein the divider system has at least one extending in the longitudinal direction of the drawer and approximately at the height of the upper edge of the rear wall longitudinal strut lying at its in the rear wall end face has a top edge of the rear wall cross-bracket.

Drawers with divider systems of the generic type are known in many embodiments.

It is also known in furniture to equip drawers with different thickness rear walls, so there are, for example, wooden drawers with relatively thick rear walls and drawers, in which the rear walls are made of sheet metal with a relatively small thickness.

An essential point of the determination of the divider system on a drawer is in the back wall, the known divider systems so far still have no satisfactory and economically viable solution for fixing the at least one longitudinal strut of the divider system on rear walls of different wall thickness. The present invention has for its object to provide a drawer of the generic type, in which the at least one longitudinal strut of the divider system can be easily fixed to rear walls of different wall thicknesses. This object is achieved in that the holder is designed as a clamping device and has a clamping part which is pressed from the rear side of the rear wall against the rear wall.

The inventive design of the holder for fixing the at least one longitudinal strut of the divider system offers the considerable advantage that this holder designed as a clamping device can be attached to any desired thick rear walls. can be closed. Thus, an essential part of the divider system, namely a longitudinal strut, can be securely fixed with a simply designed holder to a variety of drawers with all conceivable backplane strengths.

A provision of different brackets, which are tuned to different wall thicknesses or thicknesses of rear walls, completely eliminated, which is for the manufacture and storage of corresponding parts of great economic importance.

Further features of the invention are the subject of subclaims.

In the accompanying drawings embodiments of the invention are shown, which are described in more detail below.

In Figure 1, the reference numeral 1 a total of a drawer referred to, which is provided with a total of the reference numeral 2-bearing divider system for dividing the drawer interior.

The drawer 1 is shown comparatively schematically. In any case, the drawer 1 has a bottom 3 and a rear wall 4.

The divider system 2 is equipped in the illustrated embodiment with a total of three longitudinal struts 5, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the drawer 1 and approximately at the level of the upper edge 4a of the rear wall 4. These longitudinal struts 5 are equipped in their back wall 4 facing end-side end portions with the upper edge 4a of the rear wall 4 cross brackets 6.

One possible embodiment of these holders 6 results from FIGS. 3a and 3b. These figures 3a and 3b clearly show that the brackets 6 are provided with mounting webs 6a, which can be inserted end-to-end in the hollow struts designed as longitudinal struts 5 by clamping. In addition, Figures 3a and 3b clearly show that the holder 6 as

Clamping device is formed and has a clamping part 6b. This clamping part 6b is formed in the embodiment according to Figures 3a and 3b as with the holder 6 otherwise integrally manufactured spring clip. The clamping part 6b is in the mounted state on the back of the rear wall 4 and is pressed against this back of the rear wall 4.

Due to the resilience of the clamping part 6b, there is thus the possibility of securely fixing a longitudinal strut 5 to rear walls 4 of different thickness or wall thicknesses.

In Figure 6, a holder 6 is alternatively shown, in which the clamping part 6b is formed in the form of a clamping lever 6d, which is pivotally mounted in a rear side of the rear wall 4 engages behind leg 6c of the holder 6 and advantageously in the form of a toggle lever. By pivoting the clamping lever 6b, the holder 6 can be securely fixed to different rear walls 4 here, too.

As Figure 1 also shows, the longitudinal struts 5 are provided at their front side facing the front of the drawer front ends supported on the bottom 3 of the drawer 1 supporting struts 7. These support struts 7 are advantageously formed as the longitudinal struts 5 as hollow profiles, preferably with the same cross-sectional shape as the longitudinal struts. 5

The longitudinal struts 5 are connected to the support struts 7 via corner connectors 8, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b.

These corner connectors 8 have mutually perpendicular mounting webs 8a, which - analogous to the mounting webs 6a of the brackets 6 - in the front ends of the support struts 7 on the one hand and the longitudinal struts 6 on the other hand are inserted by clamping. On the bottom side, the support struts 7 are preferably supported by foot parts 9, one of which is shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b. It becomes clear that these foot parts 9 can again be pushed into the lower, front ends of the support struts 7 with a mounting stay 9a, corresponding to the mounting struts 6a of the mountings 6 and the mounting struts 8a of the corner connectors 8. On the bottom side, the foot parts 9 are provided with the outer contour of the profiles of the support struts 7 flush terminating plates 9b.

FIG. 1 further shows that the divider system 2 has, in addition to the longitudinal struts 5 and the support struts 7, also different transverse struts 10,

In this case, these cross struts 10 may extend from a longitudinal strut 5 to an adjacent longitudinal strut 5 or extending from a longitudinal strut 5, starting to a side wall 1 1, a railing strut 12 or the like and be supported there on the front side.

A transverse strut 10 extending from a longitudinal strut 5 to a side wall 11, a strut 12 or the like is shown in detail in FIGS. 5a and 5b.

The transverse strut 10 shown there is made as a whole in one piece from plastic and has an approximately C-shaped mounting bracket 13 at an end face which can be placed in a form-locking and clamping manner on a longitudinal strut 5.

The attachment bracket 13 facing away from the front end of the cross member 10 is provided in a corner with a groove 14 through which the application of this end-side end portion of the crossbar 10 is made possible to a round rod-shaped rail strut 12, whereas the rest of the front end portion of the cross member 10 largely flat can create on a side wall 1 1 of the drawer 1.

Furthermore, Figures 5a and 5b make it clear that the C-shaped mounting bracket 13 is provided with a reaching to the middle of the mounting bracket 13 notch 150. This makes it possible, two similar cross struts 0 lying in a common escape of a longitudinal strut 5, starting to the left and right to extend to this longitudinal strut 5, as shown in the figure 9 by way of example.

FIG. 7 shows a transverse strut 10, which can be fixed thereto between two adjacent longitudinal struts 5. It becomes clear that the transverse strut 10 shown there, which is preferably made of a profile 10 a, corresponding to the profile of the longitudinal struts 5, at its front side Ends made of plastic hooks 15 carries, which engage over the two adjacent longitudinal struts 5 from above.

These hooks 15 may again be provided with mounting webs, which allow a clamping insertion into the profile 10 a, as described above, for example, in the brackets 6, the corner connectors 8 or the Fußteiien 9. In addition, Figure 7 but also shows that a corresponding mounting bar may be equipped with a locking lug 16 which passes in the assembled state of a hook 15 an opening of the profile 10a, so that a positive connection between the profile 10a and the respective hook 15 results ,

In FIGS. 2 and 10 it is shown that the dividing system 2 may also include one or more containers 17, which may be hung on two longitudinal struts 5 extending adjacent to one another.

FIG. 11 illustrates that the holders 6 with their clamping parts 6b can also engage in a recess or opening 4b of a rear wall 4, which additionally results in a displacement securing of the holders 6 against transverse displacement relative to the rear wall 4.

The elements of the divider system 2 described so far are particularly suitable for storing items such as bottles, boxes or the like within a drawer 1 in a secure against displacement, as far as these objects have at least one height, the distance of the longitudinal struts 5 and the cross struts 10 to the ground 3 corresponds. If a subdivision is to secure even flatter objects, such as plates or the like, in certain areas against displacement, the use of additional separating webs 18 may be expedient, as they result from FIGS. 12 to 15. The said separating webs 18 extend from a longitudinal strut 5 or a transverse strut 10, starting again in the direction of the bottom 3 of the drawer 1 and are advantageously made as one-piece plastic parts which have two expandable legs 18a in the manner of a pliers, by means of which it is possible to Such a separator bar 18 from above, for example, postpone on a cross member 10, as is apparent from Figures 13 and 14 particularly clear. After such a separating web 18 is pushed onto, for example, a transverse strut 0, the two legs 18a can be pressed together and latched together so that the final assembly position according to FIG. 15 results. Such a separating web 18 also prevents flat objects against displacement within an area of the divider system 2 additionally secured by such separating webs 18.

Figures 16 and 17a and 17b show a further embodiment of a container 17, which in this case can be fixed to two cantilevered transverse struts 10, which in turn are connected to a longitudinal strut 5.

For this purpose, the container 17 is provided on two opposite sides with holding lugs 19 extending at a distance from the container walls and extending downwards, each of which forms a receiving channel 19a for receiving a cross strut 10.

Figures 18 to 21 show embodiments of the invention in which two partitions 20 are provided within individual areas of the divider system, which extend to the bottom 3 of a drawer 1 and provide the guarantee that even smaller, flat objects within the correspondingly equipped area can not be moved beyond the separated area.

In the figures 18 and 19, an embodiment is shown in which the partition wall 20 is formed in several parts and consists of a plate 21 and two retaining webs 22, between which the plate 21 can be clamped. The retaining webs 22 have a similar structure as the separating elements described above. ge 18 with the difference that the holding webs 22 are configured so that they can accommodate the plate 21.

This solution has the advantage that in a simple manner different width partitions 20 can be realized, since only the width of the plates 2 is to be varied.

On the other hand, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 20 and 21, the dividing wall 20 is produced in one piece and substantially corresponds to the construction of the dividing webs 18, with the difference that an extremely greater width is selected than with the dividing webs 18. The dividing wall 20 according to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG 20 and 21 is in turn made in one piece from plastic and has two expandable legs 20a, which allow the sliding of the partition wall 20, for example, on a cross member 10 or a longitudinal strut 5. After sliding the dividing wall 20 onto a transverse strut 10 or a longitudinal strut 5, in turn, the two legs 20a can then be positively locked to one another by compression and thus assume the final assembly position shown in FIG. The advantage of this construction lies in the overall smooth-surfaced design of the partition 20.

The divider system 2 of a drawer 1 described in detail above and its connection ultimately only to a rear wall 4 of the drawer 1 is characterized above all by its simple design and mounting option, since no screwing or otherwise complex connection methods are needed, especially not for the safe Fixing against the drawer 1 itself.

The divider system 2 is extremely flexible and can be adapted to any wishes of an end user if required.

If the divider system 2 is no longer desired by an end user, this divider system 2 can also be easily removed again from the drawer 1, without recognizable traces for the presence of a Teiiersystems 2 remain on the drawer 1. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
