Description

The invention relates to a device for connecting a front with a one extending away from the front longitudinally extending frame.

Such front connection devices have been known for a long time. For example, from the DE 20 2013 011 421 U1 a drawer front connection unit is known, which has front fastening elements, which are designed for attachment to a drawer front. The drawer front attachment unit includes a mounting plate secured in a chamber portion of a drawer panel member. On the mounting plate, the front mounting elements are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction and each have plug-in elements, which in the mounted state of the front mounting elements from a front side of the drawer wall element forward projecting dowel pins. The dowel pins can be hammered into associated holes in the drawer front, whereby a fastening of the front takes place on the associated wall element.

For front-link devices, a distinction must be made between a standard connection and a connection to a so-called high front. In a standard connection, a standard frame is connected to a standard front, the height of the front being slightly larger than the height of the frame. At high fronts, however, the height of the front is significantly greater than the height of a standard frame. A large part of the high front is so in this case beyond the top of the standard frame, so it needs in this application, an additional attachment to the not insignificant leverage that when handling the front by the user at the top edge between the standard Frame and the high front occur to minimize. The production of high fronts adapted high frames is unprofitable.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for connecting a front with a frame with which the connection of fronts of any height to a frame in a reliable and cost-effective manner is possible.

This object is achieved by a device for connecting a front with a frame with the features of independent claim 1. Further developments of the invention are shown in the subclaims.

The device according to the invention for connecting a front with a frame is characterized by an attachable to an upper edge of the frame mounting bracket, the first attachment means for attaching a frame and second attachment means are assigned for attachment to the front, such that a power transmission between the attachment and the frame and between the mounting attachment and the front in each case in the longitudinal direction of the frame is possible.

When connecting to the front, therefore, a standard frame can be used, which is increased by means of the mounting attachment, whereby at least one additional attachment point is provided above the usual mounting points located in the frame area. The production of a height of the associated front adapted higher frame is therefore not necessary. Since the second fastening means, which act between the mounting bracket and the front, are adapted to absorb forces acting in the longitudinal direction of the frame, also the already described problem is avoided that when handling the front at the upper edge due to the large distance between the handling area and the first attachment point high lifting forces occur, which in the worst case ensure that the front tears at the attachment points along the frame.

In a particularly preferred manner, the second fastening means are designed such that the absorption of transverse forces which act transversely to the longitudinal direction of the frame takes place.

In a particularly preferred manner, the attachment attachment has an attachment length which is shorter than a frame length of the associated frame. In this case, the mounting attachment thus does not extend over the entire length of the associated frame, but has opposite the frame a particular significantly shorter length. The length of the attachment attachment may be, for example, less than half, in particular less than one third of the length of the associated frame. The fact that the attachment is a relatively short component, material costs are saved.

In a development of the invention, the attachment attachment has a frame attachment section to which the first attachment means are assigned and a front attachment section to which the second attachment means are assigned.

In a particularly preferred manner, the frame attachment portion has a auflegbare on the upper edge of the frame support surface and the first attachment means at least one frame attachment portion passing through mounting hole and at least one for attachment through the mounting hole feasible and anchored to the frame frame fastener, such as fastening screw, on.

In a particularly preferred manner, the front attachment portion has a force acting on the front and frame in Zargen longitudinal forces acting support member, wherein the second fastening means formed in a support member bearing and at least one bearing mounted on the front and anchored front fastener on.

In a further development of the invention, the attachment attachment is designed as a mounting bracket, with a first leg forming the frame attachment section and a second leg projecting at an angle from the first leg and extending in a height direction, forming the front attachment section. Such a configuration of the attachment attachment is simple and inexpensive to produce.

Particularly preferably, the two legs are connected to one another via a connecting wall extending in the longitudinal direction of the frame and adjacent to each other along the longitudinal edges of the legs. The connecting wall serves to increase the stability of the fixing attachment formed as a fastening angle.

In a further development of the invention, the bearing has a particular U-shaped, in the direction away from the frame open, a clear width bearing recess, wherein the front fastener is formed like a pin, anchored with an anchoring portion in the front and one in the bearing recess such mounted head portion that a power transmission between the mounting bracket and the front in the longitudinal direction of the frame is possible.

In a particularly preferred manner, the head section has a storage area which has a smaller diameter compared with the rest of the head section and with respect to the clear widths of the bearing recess, wherein larger areas of the head section are formed on the left and right of the storage area, the diameter of which is greater than the clear width the bearing recess is, wherein the bearing area passes through the bearing recess. The larger diameter portions of the head section, in combination with the strips of material adjacent to the bearing recess, ensure that forces can be absorbed in the longitudinal direction of the frame, ie, both in the direction of the back of the frame and in the direction of the front.

In a particularly preferred manner, the storage area is formed by an annular groove formed in the head section.

Particularly preferably, the diameter of the bearing area is dimensioned to the clear widths of the bearing recess such that a movement of the front fastener and thus the front in the height direction and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Zargen longitudinal direction is possible. This ensures that a lateral and / or vertical adjustment of the front with respect to the frame is not hindered.

In a further development of the invention, the attachment attachment is designed as an attachment frame whose length is shorter than the length of the associated frame. It is possible, for example, to manufacture the attachment attachment from a standard frame by separating a longitudinal piece from the standard frame.

In a further development of the invention, the Aufsetz-frame has a frame-mounting portion forming Aufsetz-Zargenboden and the front-mounting portion forming towards the front, open front side. Preferably, the second fastening means for attachment to the front of a front-mounting unit with a mounted by means of support means in the interior of the Aufsetz-frame main body and mounted on the base body, projecting from the base towards the front male part for anchoring in the front.

In a further development of the invention, the device has a frame, is placed on the upper edge of the mounting attachment and attached via the first fastening means on the frame.

The invention further relates to a piece of furniture, with at least one furniture part, in particular drawer, which has a front and two frames that is characterized by a device according to one of claims 1 to 14.

On the support element 27 is a warehouse 28 formed, which is a Lagerausnehmung 29 having a clear width. The bearing recess 29 is left and right of narrow strips of material 30a . 30 b limited, each tapering upwards, the inner edges of the strips of material 30a . 30b diverge from each other upwards.

Overall, this is a funnel-shaped insertion area 31 then formed into a storage area 32 merges with a constant width.

Overall, the bearing recess 29 towards the side of the frame 13 formed in approximately U-shaped.

As in particular in 4 shown belongs to the front attachment section 22 a front fastener 33 , which is designed in the manner of a screw. The front fastener 33 has an anchoring section which can be anchored in the front 34 , So in the example shown a screw shaft with external thread. Conveniently, the threaded shaft of the front fastener 33 designed as a self-tapping thread, whereby the screwing into a wooden front without tools is possible.

The front fastener 33 also has a head section 35 which is characteristically designed. The head section 35 owns a storage area 36 that one over the rest of the head section 35 and with respect to the clear width of the bearing recess 29 smaller diameter. In the example shown, the storage area 36 through a in the head section 35 trained annular groove formed. Between the storage area 36 and the anchoring section 34 is located opposite the storage area 36 larger diameter disc section 37 , Towards the free end of the head section 35 closes in longitudinal direction to the storage area 36 a head 38 on, which is conical and towards the free end of the front fastener 33 rejuvenated. The cone-shaped head 38 has one opposite the storage area 36 larger diameter, which is also greater than the clear width of the bearing recess.
