Description

The present invention relates to a fitting, in particular for mounting wall cabinets, with a mounting plate on which a recess is provided, in which an eccentric disc is inserted with an opening, wherein a screw passes through the opening, wherein the opening on the eccentric disc is formed in that the eccentric disc can be plugged onto the shaft of a wall-mounted screw with a screw head.

The DE 79 30 056 discloses a suspension device for furniture, in which on a wall-fixed hook a suspension hook is mounted, which has a horizontal slot, which is penetrated by a screw. The screw engages in a threaded sleeve which is threaded on the outside and eccentrically mounted on a pulley. The disc can in turn be rotationally fixed to a hanger, so that by the suspension an adjustment in three directions, namely laterally, vertically and in depth, is possible. However, the suspension is relatively complicated composed of many items and the assembly is therefore complex.

From the DE 1 901 685 is a multi-part fitting for hanging a closet known in which two fitting parts can be held together by screws. In the fitting parts openings are partially formed as slots, so that a certain adjustment is given. The production of fittings from a metal sheet has the disadvantage that the fittings are relatively heavy and expensive to manufacture. A disadvantage of this fitting is also that the individual fitting parts must be loosely supplied to a packaging unit and care must be taken to ensure that the correct fitting parts are assigned to each other.

The EP 1 721 548 A1 discloses a fitting for hanging furniture, in which a rotatable eccentric is provided for adjusting the furniture.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fitting that is easy to manufacture and allows quick installation while maintaining an adjustment.

This object is achieved with a fitting with the features of claim 1.

According to the invention, the opening on the eccentric disk is designed so that the eccentric disk can be pushed onto the shaft of a screw mounted on a wall with a screw head and a height and lateral adjustment of the mounting plate relative to the screw can be carried out by turning the eccentric disk. As a result, a pre-assembly of the screw can be done on the wall and the user can mount to the pre-assembled screw, the mounting plate and the eccentric disc, so that only a few assembly steps are necessary. In addition, can be done on the eccentric disc height and lateral adjustment, so that with few components an exact positioning can be made.

Preferably, the opening is arranged eccentrically to a center of an annular portion of the eccentric disc. The opening may have different shapes, for example, it may itself be circular or have a deviating from the circular contour. Preferably, the opening has at least a widened portion for passing a screw head and a narrower portion for receiving a shank of a screw. Then, a particularly accurate positioning of the mounting plate can be done, especially when the narrower portion of the eccentric disc for receiving the shaft of the screw is used and is arranged eccentrically on the eccentric disc.

In order to simplify the mounting of the eccentric disc, an opening may be provided which has an outwardly open channel. The channel extends in a radial direction, so that after screwing in the screw a screw shaft can be inserted through the channel in the opening. As a result, the eccentric disc can be formed largely stable from solid material.

By roughening the contact surfaces between the eccentric disc and the mounting plate self-locking mating can be increased. Alternatively, it is possible to apply profilings on the contact surfaces.

According to one embodiment, the eccentric disc on a tool holder for engagement with a tool, preferably a screwdriver. This allows a simple fine adjustment by the eccentric disc is rotated with a tool. In this case, the eccentric disc can be performed by clamping the recess of the mounting plate.

Preferably, the eccentric disc has an annular portion which is inserted into the recess on the mounting plate, wherein the eccentric disc further comprises a flange portion which projects radially outwardly beyond the annular portion as a stop. As a result, the insertion depth of the eccentric disc can be specified exactly. In addition, a corrugation may be attached to the annular portion, which abuts at least on opposite sides of an edge of the recess. Thereby, the eccentric disc can be fixed by clamping or with positive and / or non-positive means.

In order to allow a slight lateral adjustment, the recess in the mounting plate is designed as a slot. Thereby, the eccentric disc can be positioned at different positions of the elongated hole in order to align the mounting plate relative to the screw, so that a large adjustment path is present.

For easy manufacture of the mounting plate, this is made by bending and punching a metal sheet and includes an edge on the recess formed by a bent projection. Such a projection may be formed by a bent strip-shaped circumferential portion.

In an advantageous embodiment, the mounting plate is formed as part of a mounting bracket. In this case, the mounting bracket can be mounted on an inner wall of a furniture body, which can be used in particular for wall cabinets.

To have sufficient stability, the eccentric disc can be made as a casting of metal or plastic.

A closet comprises a furniture body 1, which comprises a rear wall 2 and a side wall 3. In the corner region between the rear wall 2 and side wall 3, an inventive fitting 10 is mounted, wherein a mounting plate 11 at a rear wall 2 is supported. An integrally formed with the mounting plate 11 mounting plate 12 has openings 13 are inserted into the fastening means for fixing the side wall 3 to the fitting 10.

Like from the FIGS. 2A and 2B it can be seen, the fitting 10 on the mounting plate 11 has a recess 14 which is formed as a slot and has a protruding from the plane of the mounting plate 11 bent edge 15. The edge 15 comprises at opposite sides straight portions 16 which are uniformly curved at end faces 17. The mounting plate 11 is connected via a bending edge 18 with the mounting plate 12, wherein from the bending edge 18 at the top and bottom protruding webs 19 are formed, by means of which a cover 30 can be latched. For this purpose, the cover 30 includes locking lugs 31 which engage behind the webs 19.

To align the mounting plate 11 relative to a screw an eccentric disc 20 is provided, which is made as a casting, in particular of metal or plastic. The eccentric disc 20 comprises an annular edge 21, on the outside of which a corrugation is formed. The circumference of the annular rim 21 corresponds substantially to the distance of the straight portions 16 of the bent edge 15. Further, on the eccentric disc 20, a radially projecting beyond the annular edge 21 flange portion 22 is formed, which serves as a stop and to the edge 15 at the recess 14 can be created.

The eccentric disc 20 further includes an opening 23 having a widened portion 26 for passing a screw head of a screw and a narrower portion 25 which is semicircular and serves to receive a shank of a screw.

As in the FIGS. 4A and 4B is shown, the eccentric disk 20 is inserted into the recess 14 so that the annular portion 21 rests against the edge 15. The eccentric disc 20 can be rotated via a tool holder 24, which is formed as a cross-shaped slot, in a simple manner.

For assembly, a screw 40 is first attached to a wall. Subsequently, the fitting 10 mounted on the furniture body 1 is moved over the screw 40 so that the screw head is arranged in the recess 14. Subsequently, the eccentric disk 20 is placed on the screw 40, wherein the screw head is pushed through the widened portion 26 of the opening 23. Subsequently, the eccentric disc 20 is moved so that the narrower portion 25 is placed around the shaft of the screw 40.

To align the position of the mounting plate 11 relative to the screw 40, the eccentric disc 20 can now be rotated or moved. For a rotational movement, a tool is inserted into the tool holder 24 and the eccentric disk 20 is then rotated, so that a height adjustment can be made, as for example, the two positions of the FIGS. 5A and 5C demonstrate.

In addition, it is also possible to move the eccentric disk 20 only relative to the mounting plate 11, as well as the different positions of the FIGS. 5A to 5C demonstrate.

In the illustrated embodiment, the opening 23 in the eccentric disc 20 is formed so that a wider portion for performing the screw head is used and a narrower portion forms a receptacle for the shaft of the screw 40. Such a receptacle is not essential, because the eccentric disc 20 may be held at the edge of the opening 23 by weight forces on the shaft of the screw 40. In addition, at the edge of the opening 23 recesses may be formed to ensure a locking of the shank of the screw 40 in the opening 23.

In the FIGS. 6A to 6C a further fitting 10 is shown, which has a mounting plate 11 and an angle thereto integrally formed mounting plate 12 as in the previous embodiment. In the mounting plate 11, a recess 14 is formed as a slot in which a bent edge 15 is provided. The mounting plate 11 corresponds in shape to the previous embodiment.

At the recess 14 a modified eccentric disc 20 'can be mounted, which has an annular edge 21', which has a smaller diameter than an annular flange portion 22 '. As a result, the eccentric disc 20 'is step-shaped, wherein the annular edge 21' on the bent edge 15 at the recess 14 can be placed. The protruding flange portion 22 'is located on the front side of the bent edge 15 at.

The eccentric disc 20 'eccentrically comprises an opening 23' which serves to receive a shank of a screw 40 '. The opening 23 'has an outwardly open channel 25', which has the same width as the diameter of the opening 23 '. At the opening 23 'is a stepped receptacle 26' is formed so that a head of the screw 40 'can be received in the receptacle 26'. The receptacle 26 'allows a guide of the eccentric disc 20' in a rotational movement. In addition, the eccentric disc 20 'is secured against falling down during assembly.

Further, a tool holder 24 'in the form of a cross-shaped slot is formed on the eccentric disc 20'.

As in the FIGS. 7A and 7B can be seen, a screw 40 'is first attached to a wall for mounting. Subsequently, the fitting 10 mounted on the furniture body 1 is inserted with the recess 14 via the screw 40 ', wherein the screw head 40' is arranged at a distance from the wall. Subsequently, the eccentric disk 20 'is inserted into the recess 14, so that the annular edge 21' comes to rest on the bent edge 15. Furthermore, the shaft of the screw 40 'is inserted via the channel 25' in the opening 23 ', so that the in FIG. 7B shown position is reached.

For a downward height adjustment, the eccentric disk 20 'is rotated counterclockwise according to FIG. 7C, so that the screw 40' is now arranged in an upper region of the recess 14. As a result, the mounting plate 11 moves downwards relative to the screw 40 '.

With a height adjustment upward becomes accordingly Figure 7D the eccentric disk 20 'is rotated clockwise, so that the screw 40' is arranged in a lower region of the recess 14. Accordingly, the mounting plate 11 and the wall cabinet attached thereto moves upwardly relative to the screw 40 '.

In the FIGS. 8A to 8C a modified embodiment of a fitting is shown compared to the preceding embodiment, in which a mounting plate 11 'comprises a recess 14 having a bent edge 15'. Profiles 15 "in the form of recesses or indentations are provided on the edge 15 'which can be brought into engagement with corresponding profilings 20"' on an eccentric disk 20. This produces a rotationally fixed connection between the eccentric disk 20 "and the edge 15 '. the mounting plate 11 'obtained.

The eccentric disc 20 "comprises, as in the previous embodiment, an opening 23 'with an outwardly open channel 25', so that the assembly otherwise is the same. By the profiling 15" and 20 "'also locking in predetermined positions can be achieved.

The receptacle 26 'for the screw head can also be formed in the other embodiments shown on the eccentric discs 20 and 20 ".
