Description

Mounting box for a mobile fitting, furniture panel with an integrated mounting box, furniture or furniture body with such a furniture panel

Technical Field

The invention relates to a mounting box for mobile accessories integrated into a furniture panel. The invention also relates to a furniture panel with an integrated mounting box for receiving a moving fitting for a movable furniture part. The invention also relates to a furniture body or a piece of furniture having such a furniture panel.

Background

The furniture body is usually composed of furniture panels made on the basis of wood or wood-based materials, such as chipboard or medium-or high-density fibreboard (MDF-medium-density fibre, HOF-high-density fibre). For connecting or hinging the furniture panels to each other movable furniture parts, such as doors or flaps, connecting fittings, moving fittings or other functional fittings are used, which are herein collectively referred to as fittings. The fittings are typically made of plastic and/or metal materials. Usually, in particular larger fittings are placed on the furniture panels and fixed with screws. They then protrude into the interior of the furniture body so that they are not visible when the door or flap is closed, but they impair the appearance of the furniture body and reduce the available interior volume of the furniture body when the door or flap is open. In the case of smaller fittings, insertion holes or recesses are also known.

Publication DE 202014105730U 1 describes a furniture panel in which an insert is arranged in a material recess from one side of the furniture panel and can accommodate a moving fitting. The material recess may be provided with an undercut portion for securing the insert at least in one direction perpendicular to the surface of the furniture panel. Further details for fixing the insert on the furniture panel or the moving fitting on the insert are not described. The advantage of arranging the insert in the recess of the furniture panel is that the moving fitting used is completely or partially recessed relative to the surface of the furniture panel and therefore does not protrude or protrudes less into the interior of the furniture body. Here, however, the movement fitting is also visible on at least one side of the furniture panel and prevents the side of the furniture panel from being homogeneous with regard to the appearance and with regard to the material and properties of the furniture panel.

In document DE 102017104170 a1, which is subsequently published by the applicant, a furniture panel is described in which box-shaped fittings are integrated in such a way that the side surfaces of the furniture panel are substantially flat. To this end, the furniture panel is composed of two partial panels separated along a central plane, into which grooves with mirror-inverted contours are introduced, for example milled, which form a cavity when the furniture panel is assembled, into which the fittings are inserted, for example glued. In this case, any side surface of the furniture panel is not affected by the fitting in terms of appearance, surface properties and/or material.

Disclosure of Invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting box and a furniture panel with an integrated mounting box, wherein any side surface of the furniture panel is not affected by moving parts in terms of its appearance, surface properties and/or material, and wherein the moving parts can also be replaced. Another object of the invention is to provide a piece of furniture or a furniture body with a furniture panel of this type.

The object is achieved by a mounting box, a furniture panel and a piece of furniture or a furniture body having the features of the respective independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

The mounting box according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset has two side panels which are arranged parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another, an opening remaining on the narrow side of the furniture box, into which opening a movement fitting can be inserted. The mounting box is unique in that it has a clamping mechanism to clamp the moving parts in the mounting box.

Due to the box shape and the clamping mechanism, a mobile fitting of the same box shape can be accommodated and integrated in a form-fitting manner in the furniture panel. The clamping mechanism also enables the mobile fitting to be detachably fixed in the mounting box without the fitting having to be equipped with mounting elements for this purpose.

In an advantageous embodiment of the mounting box, the side panels are spaced apart from each other by a frame, for example designed in a U-shape and extending along three sides of the mounting box. An opening into which the moving fitting is inserted is thus formed on the fourth side of the mounting box. The clamping mechanism is preferably arranged in a portion of the frame adjacent to the opening. The clamping mechanism is advantageously actuated from the front of the opening area. This can be most easily achieved when the clamping mechanism is located in a portion of the frame adjacent the opening. Instead of a separate frame, the box-shape of the mounting box may also be achieved by side panels, wherein at least one side panel is crimped on three sides, such that the side panels are spaced apart by the crimping.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the mounting box, the clamping mechanism comprises a clamping element which can be moved transversely to the orientation of the frame into the interior space of the mounting box. In this way, the fitting is clamped in a direction in which the side panels of the fitting extend substantially. A significantly greater force can be exerted on the moving fitting in this direction than in a direction perpendicular to this direction to clamp the fitting without deforming the moving fitting.

The clamping mechanism can have a clamping shaft with an eccentric which acts on the clamping element. The clamping shaft is preferably mounted rotatably in the frame in the longitudinal direction and has a tool receptacle accessible from the outside at one end. An eccentric is understood to be any element having an outer contour which, when rotated, causes a displacement of the clamping element. The profile does not necessarily have to be circular. The profile is preferably shaped such that the eccentric is self-locking in each rotational position of the clamping shaft, i.e. the force exerted on the clamping element does not cause the clamping shaft to swivel. The profile may be helical, for example.

Alternative elements may also be used instead of the eccentric, for example a wedge system, in which the ramp principle is used to achieve the movement of the clamping element.

When the clamping mechanism is arranged in the front frame region, it is advantageous if the frame has an undercut in the region of the opening on the side opposite the clamping element, behind which undercut the moving fitting is held when the clamping element is clamped. The undercut can be formed, for example, by guiding the respective frame element slightly downwards at its front end in the direction of the opening. Due to the oppositely positioned clamping mechanisms, the fitting behind the undercut can be pressed from the inside onto the frame and finally fixed in the mounting box by form fit.

Alternatively or additionally, at least one spring element may be arranged on the frame and/or at least one side panel of the mounting box, said spring element pressing on the inserted movement fitting. The at least one spring element clamps the moving fitting and also enables good tolerance compensation. Furthermore, an inwardly projecting protrusion may be formed on the frame, the protrusion preferably projecting like an extended state when the clamping element fixes the moving fitting by clamping. It is advantageously achieved by the projection that the fitting is aligned in the secured state such that its edge extends parallel to the outer edge of the mounting box.

The furniture panel according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset is distinguished in that the furniture panel is assembled from at least two partial panels, wherein at least one recess in at least one partial panel extends from a side surface of the partial panel and at least one end surface of the furniture panel and points in the direction of at least one other partial panel, wherein a mounting box is connected to at least one partial panel in a force-fitting or material-fitting manner, and wherein a displacement fitting can be inserted substantially completely into the furniture panel and a displacement part of the displacement fitting can be displaced out of an end surface of the furniture panel.

With the integrated mounting box, the mobile fitting can be inserted through an opening in the end of the furniture panel and, if necessary, removed again. The mounting box is already incorporated into the furniture panel when the furniture panel is manufactured. By assembling the furniture panel from two partial panels, the at least one recess accommodating the mounting box can be introduced from one side of the partial panel over a large area. This results in a recess which can also accommodate a correspondingly large mounting box for large moving fittings, for example flap fittings.

The insertion of the movement fitting "substantially completely" into the furniture panel is to be understood as meaning that any slight projection of the movement fitting relative to the end face of the furniture panel is so small as not to interfere with the closing of the furniture body or of the furniture by the movable furniture part (door, flap, front, etc.). Possible protrusions are preferably less than about 1-3 millimeters (mm). Projections of this order of magnitude are usually in the region of the existing gap between the furniture body and the movable furniture part or can be compensated for by narrow-sided coatings (e.g. edge strips). It will also be appreciated that the fitting is located within the furniture panel (only) in its retracted state, i.e. when the movable furniture part closes the furniture body. When the furniture part is opened, the projecting moving fitting component, for example a lever mechanism, projects above the end face.

The recess or recesses may (subsequently) be introduced into one or more partial panels, preferably by milling or embossing. The partial panels may thus be manufactured first in a conventional manner, for example from wood or a wood composite material without recesses, and then the recesses are manufactured. This may preferably be done from the side surface. Alternatively, the recess may be formed with the partial panel during a moulding process, for example a foaming or casting process.

In an advantageous embodiment of the furniture panel, the recess has a constant depth over its surface. In particular, when (part of) the recess is milled, this represents a shape in which the recess is easy to manufacture. The depth of the entire recess (i.e. the total depth of the possible plurality of partial recesses) may be, for example, at least 10mm, and the thickness of the remaining material of the furniture panel in the region of the recess may be between about 1 and 10 mm.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the furniture panel, the mounting box is glued in a material-fit manner into the recess. The gluing saves space and can also be carried out when the remaining material thickness of the furniture panel in the region of the recess is low. The material thickness of the furniture panel in the region of the recess can be particularly low if the side walls of the mounting box are glued to the furniture panel over the entire surface or almost the entire surface, so that a mounting space of maximum depth is created for the moving fitting.

As an alternative or in addition to the gluing, the mounting box can have a plurality of shaped elements, for example dots (spikes), which can be pressed into the opposite surfaces of the recess and also produce a stable connection by them.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the furniture panel, the end face with the recess is provided with a narrow side coating, for example an edge strip. The end faces of the side panels of the mounting box are preferably also substantially completely covered by said narrow side coating.

According to the invention, a method for integrating such a mounting box into a furniture panel assembled from at least two partial panels has the following steps: at least one recess is introduced in at least one of the partial panels. Furthermore, a mobile accessory or a non-functional accessory moulding is inserted into the mounting box. The device consisting of the mobile or non-functional accessory moulding and the mounting box is inserted into a recess of a partial panel. Assembling at least two partial panels together such that the device consisting of the mobile or non-functional accessory moulding and the mounting box is enclosed by the at least two partial panels. The furniture panel with the integrated mounting box and inserted moving or non-functional accessory molding is then pressed.

When assembled, at least one side of the at least one partial panel and/or the mounting box is advantageously provided with an adhesive layer. This may be applied, for example, before or after inserting the fitting into the recess. The adhesive layer, at least one side of the mounting box and/or the recess further preferably have a structured surface. The structured surface of the adhesive layer or of one of the two surfaces (of the mounting box or of the recess) to be glued to one another can compensate for manufacturing tolerances, in particular in the thickness of the mounting box, i.e. in the direction extending perpendicular to its plane, and in the depth of the recess in the furniture panel. The tolerance range enables, on the one hand, a good adhesion of the adhesive connection to both sides and, on the other hand, the mounting box does not appear on the outer surface of the furniture panel during pressing.

In one advantageous embodiment of the method, the adhesive layer has adhesive in the form of a multiplicity of structural elements. The structural element is, for example, a three-dimensional element, in particular a pyramid, a truncated pyramid, a cone or a truncated cone. They are preferably arranged spaced apart from one another in order to leave free space between adjacent structural elements after the adhesive layer has been applied. To compensate for tolerances, displaced adhesive may be added to the free space. In this way, the adhesive layer can be compressed to a minimum thickness, which is achieved if the displaced adhesive fills the free space.

Also advantageously, per cm in the adhesive layer²(square centimeter) has about 10 to 300 structural elements. With the above numbers, a typical suitable viscosity range for the adhesive is about 15000mPas (millipascal seconds), the structural element can be easily molded and retain its shape until pressed. If the adhesive is too viscous when applied and/or the number of structural elements per unit area is too large, deformation of the structural elements to compensate for tolerances is not possible or only does so incompletely. If the viscosity or the number of unit areas is too low, the structural elements shift and tolerance compensation cannot be carried out either.

The adhesive layer advantageously has a thickness of between 50g/m²And 350g/m²(grams per square meter) and preferably has an adhesive of between 150g/m²And 250g/m²With an adhesive therebetween. The adhesive may be applied using a preferably structured roller.

The furniture body according to the invention or the furniture according to the invention has a wall, in particular a side wall, which furniture body or the furniture has a furniture panel as described above. The advantages described in connection with the furniture panel or the method for manufacturing a furniture panel are thereby obtained.

Detailed Description

Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or elements having the same effect. For clarity, not every element in every drawing is provided with a reference numeral.

In the description, terms such as up, down, left, right, and the like, refer only to exemplary representations selected in the corresponding drawings. The terms front and rear refer to the alignment of the furniture bodies, with the front side identifying the open side of the furniture body that generally faces the user.

Fig. 1 shows an isometric view of an upper cabinet, for example a kitchen, as an embodiment of furniture, the side walls 13 of which are formed by furniture panels 40, the furniture panels 40 each having an integrated mounting box 50 for a moving accessory 30.

The upper cabinet comprises a furniture body 10 with a bottom plate 11 and a top plate 12 and two side walls 13. The rear wall is preferably provided for stability reasons, etc., but is not visible in the embodiment described.

The furniture body 10 is open forward to allow access to the interior of the cabinet. A flap arrangement 20 with an integrated flap 21 in the example described is provided in order to be able to close the opening of the furniture body 10. Integral flap 21 is pivotally mounted along its upper horizontal side edge. For this purpose, a movement fitting 30 is provided, which is connected to integrated flap 21 by means of a lever mechanism 33 in the upper region of integrated flap 21. The displacement fitting 30 (also referred to below simply as fitting 30) is arranged here (in addition to the lever mechanism 33 projecting in the illustrated open position) in a corresponding side wall 13 of the mounting box 50, which is integrated in the side wall 13. In the closed state of flap 21, lever mechanism 33 is fully retracted into side wall 13, except for the assembly elements for connection to flap 21. The area within the side wall 13 where the fitting 30 is located is indicated by a dashed line in fig. 1.

The side wall 13 is unique in that the side faces are ideally unitary and may have generally the same surface characteristics over the entire surface. The surface of the one-piece side may create design effects by different patterns, surface characteristics, or different colors. This preferably applies to the outer surface of the side faces and to the inner surface facing the interior of the furniture body 10. The side wall 13 also has an end face which has an opening in the region of the fitting 30, into which opening the lever mechanism 33 of the fitting 30 projects or from which opening the lever mechanism 33 projects. In the closed state of flap arrangement 20, lever mechanism 33 is completely immersed in the opening, except for any fastening means here connecting the lever to integral flap 21.

The side wall 13 is formed by a furniture panel 40, the manufacture and construction of which is explained in more detail in the following embodiments.

Fig. 2 schematically shows a method for producing a furniture panel 40 with an integrated mounting box 50 for receiving a fitting 30.

In the embodiment shown, the furniture panel 40 is composed of two

partial panels

41 and 42. In the example, the

recesses

411, 421 are introduced into the

partial panels

41, 42 in mirror images of one another in the

sides

411, 421. When the

partial panels

41, 42 are superposed on each other, the

recesses

411, 421 complement each other to form a cavity in which the mounting box 50 with the fitting 30 is positioned. Since each combination of mounting box 50 and fitting 30 is only partially accommodated, the

recesses

411, 421 are also referred to below as

partial recesses

411, 421.

In a first step S1, the fitting 30 is inserted into the mounting box 50, in the present case pushed in. This is explained in more detail in fig. 3 to 8b below.

The mounting box 50 has two rectangular flat side panels 51 arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other. The side of the mounting box is closed on three sides and is open on the side subsequently facing the end face of the furniture panel 40 and is therefore designed as a box.

In the example shown, the fitting 30 is also designed in the shape of a box and has two parallel side panels 31, the side panels 31 being spaced apart from each other by a frame. The frame extends at least along the upper and lower sides of the fitting 30, and preferably also along the rear side of the fitting 30, and forms a housing of the fitting 30 together with the side panels 31. An opening 32 remains in the front side of the fitting between the side panels 31. Components of the fitting 30, such as the lever mechanism 33 shown in fig. 1 that may protrude through the opening 32, are secured to the side panel 31 and/or the interior of the frame by a rivet or other fastening element. This is done in such a way that the side panel 31 is as flat as possible, in particular the fastening elements used do not project beyond the side panel 31, so that the fitting 30 can be inserted into the mounting box 50 without play.

As will be described in more detail later, depending on the application, the fitting 30 can be removed from the mounting box 50 and reinserted, even when the furniture panel 40 is fully assembled. To this end, in an alternative embodiment of the method in step S1, a non-functional accessory moulding (dummy device) may be inserted into the mounting box 50 instead of the accessory 30, the accessory moulding being removed after the method is completed. The accessory moulding should have the same external dimensions as the accessory 30 to be used later.

In a second step S2, side panel 51 (lower in fig. 2, not visible) of mounting box 50 is provided with adhesive layer 60.

In the next step S3, the device composed of the mounting box 50 and the fitting 30 is inserted into the partial recess 411 of the first partial panel (in this case, the partial panel 41). The side panel 51 with the adhesive layer 60 is directed in the direction of the recess 411.

The adhesive layer 60 may, for example, have a plurality of structural elements, for example having the shape of truncated pyramids. The structural elements are preferably formed by a layer of a forming adhesive 60 disposed generally on the side panel 51. The density of the structural elements is, for example, about 10 to 300 elements/cm²Within the range of (a).

It is noted that instead of designing the structural elements as truncated pyramids, other three-dimensional geometries can be used, such as truncated cones or cylinders or drop-like structures. The adhesive may also be applied to linear (extending in one direction) structural elements. It is also contemplated that the adhesive layer 60 is comprised of a continuous layer of adhesive and structural elements placed thereon. Advantageously, the adhesive layer 60 differs in height above the wetted surface, i.e. no layer with a uniform layer thickness is applied overall.

The adhesive used in the adhesive layer 60 is preferably an adhesive having a high viscosity that maintains the illustrated structure after application and desirably is not lost due to the weight of the device itself after the device composed of the mounting box 50 and the fitting 30 has been inserted into the partial panel 41. The adhesive layer 60 is applied, for example, by means of a structured roller that shapes the structural elements. The amount of binder used may be in the range of 50g/m²And 350g/m²(grams per square meter) of at least one metal, preferably at least 150g/m²To 250g/m²Within the range of (1).

The viscosity of the adhesive at processing temperature (e.g., 120 ℃) is about 15000 mPas. If the adhesive is too viscous when applied, deformation of the structural element 51 to compensate for tolerances is not possible or only does not occur completely. If the viscosity is too low, the structural elements cannot be operated and tolerance compensation cannot be carried out either.

Preferably, a reactive polyurethane hot melt adhesive is used as adhesive. The polymer reacts with air humidity/moisture and crosslinks to form polyurethane. The adhesive solidifies by cooling, not allowing further processing, and therefore processing must be carried out within the so-called "open time" of the adhesive. In principle, the described method can also be used with other types of adhesives.

In a next method step S4, a second one of the partial panels 42 is also provided with an adhesive layer, which may be a continuous adhesive layer or an adhesive layer 60 also having structural elements.

In step S5, the first partial panel 41 and the second partial panel 42 with the inserted arrangement of mounting box 50 and fitting 30 are joined together, and in step S6 the formed furniture panel 40 is pressed in a press, for example a laminator, by applying pressure until the adhesive layer 60 hardens.

If necessary, pressing can be carried out with heat and/or cooling to support or initiate curing of the binder. For example, an adhesive that can be reactivated by supplying heat may be used in conjunction with a heated press, meaning that a wait or storage time may be inserted between steps S4 and S5.

For example, the press can be designed as a molding press with a forcedly driven punch, so that the

partial panels

41, 42 are prevented from sliding relative to each other. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable to hold the two

partial panels

41, 42 in place during pressing to prevent, in particular, the leading edges from sliding relative to one another. To obtain an attractive appearance, the front edges should be flush with each other.

Fig. 3 shows a side view of the displacement fitting 30 shortly before it is pushed into the mounting box 50, i.e. an enlarged sectional view at the beginning of step S1 according to fig. 2. Only one side panel 31 of the moving part 30 is visible in the illustration. The opening 32 pointing forwards in the mounted state is located on the side facing away from the mounting box.

Like the displacement fitting 30, the mounting box 50 has two side panels 51 arranged parallel to one another, the side panels 51 being spaced apart from one another on three sides by respective U-shaped frames 53 and being fixed to the frames. In the example shown, the frame 53 is composed of three separate frame elements, an upper frame element 54, a rear frame element 55 and a lower frame element 56. The opening 52 of the mounting box 50 into which the moving fitting 30 is inserted is opposed to the rear frame member 55. In the front region of the lower frame element 56 a clamping mechanism 57 is arranged, the structure and function of which will be explained in more detail below. In an alternative design, the clamping mechanism 57 can also be arranged in the upper frame element 54.

In fig. 4a and 4b, the mounting boxes 50 are again shown separated in an isometric view, respectively. Fig. 4a shows the mounting box 50 in an assembled state, while fig. 4b shows the mounting box 50 in an exploded view.

Figure 4b illustrates the multipart nature of the frame 53 very well. The

individual frame elements

54, 55, 56 each have a

connection portion

541, 551, 561, connected to each other at the

connection portions

541, 551, 561. In the example shown, the connection is made by means of a plug-in connector and a corresponding bracket. It will be appreciated that other suitable connection techniques may be used herein. The

frame elements

54, 55, 56 are preferably plastic injection molded parts.

In the example shown, the side panels 51 are made of sheet metal. On the side resting on the frame 53, the side panels have inwardly curled pressure plates 511 by which the side panels are connected to the frame 53. For this purpose, respective receiving

grooves

542, 552 and 562 are formed in the

frame elements

54, 55, 56.

The upper frame element 54 is guided slightly downwards at its front end in the direction of the opening 52, so that an undercut 543 is formed. The lower frame element 56 has the already mentioned clamping mechanism 57 in its front region. The exploded view of fig. 4b shows its structure. A shaft receiving portion 563 for clamping the shaft 571 is formed in the lower frame member 56. The clamping shaft 571 has a tool receptacle 572, for example a cross-slot holder or a socket head holder or a multi-tooth holder, at one end, into which a corresponding tool can be inserted in order to rotate the clamping shaft 571.

The eccentric 573 is arranged or formed in a central region of the clamping shaft 571. Above the clamping axis, a U-shaped clamping element 574 oriented perpendicular to the upper frame element 54 is guided slidably on the lower frame 56. Due to the eccentric 573, the rotation of the clamping shaft 571 on the tool receptacle 572 causes a raising or lowering of the clamping element 574. The profile of the eccentric 573 is preferably shaped such that the eccentric 573 is self-locking at each rotational position of the clamping shaft 574, so that the clamping shaft 571 cannot be rotated back after the fitting 30 is clamped.

Fig. 5 also shows in a sectional view a mounting box 50 with inserted movement fitting 30. The opening 52 of the mounting box 50 is sufficiently large, in particular high, so that the displacement fitting 30 can be inserted despite the undercut 543. After insertion, in a partial step S1a, indicated by an arrow in fig. 5, the tool 70, here for example a multi-tooth screwdriver, is inserted 572.

Fig. 6 shows the next substep S1b, in which the tool 70 is used to actuate the clamping mechanism 57. As a result, the clamping element 574 is moved upwards in the direction of the upper frame element 54 and presses the moving fitting 50 from below against the upper frame element 54. In this position, the moving fitting 30 can no longer be moved forward out of the mounting box 50, since its upper front edge is located behind the undercut 543. In the rear region of the lower frame element 56, a projection 564 which projects slightly inwards is formed, which projects like the clamping element 574 in the extended state, wherein the fitting 30 is fixed. By means of the protrusions 564, the fitting 30 is aligned in the fixed state with its edge extending parallel to the outer edge of the mounting box 50.

Fig. 7a, 7b and 8a, 8b each show the function of the clamping mechanism 57 in an isometric enlarged view of the mounting box 50 in section in the region of the clamping element 57. Fig. 7a and 8a show the clamping mechanism 57 in its entirety, while fig. 7b and 8b show the clamping element 57 removed in order to be able to show the respective positions of the clamping shaft 571 and the eccentric 573. The fully retracted state of the clamping mechanism 57 is shown in fig. 7a, 7 b. Fig. 8a, 8b show the clamping mechanism in a maximally extended state.

Even if the furniture panel 40 is already installed in the piece of furniture or the furniture carcass, the clamping mechanism 57 can be released again at any time, so that the fitting 30 can be removed again from the installation box 50. It is thus possible to replace the fitting 30 with a furniture body or piece of furniture being installed.

In a further development of the furniture panel 40, it can be provided that the mounting box 50 has a bracket, to which, for example, a frame-like cover can be attached to cover the edge of the fitting 30, so that the edge is as invisible as possible through the end-face opening of the furniture panel 40. The cover may be attached to the bracket, for example, by clamping, clipping, inserting or screwing.

In the embodiment shown, the end face opening of the furniture panel 40 is already present when the two

partial panels

41, 42 are connected, since the

recesses

411, 421 protrude into the end faces of the

partial panels

41, 42. In an alternative embodiment, the

recesses

411, 421 may be designed not to project into the end faces, but rather material remains between the end faces of the mounting box 50 and the

partial panels

41, 42 and the furniture panel 40. The mounting box 50, possibly with the fitting 30 already inserted, is first completely accommodated in the furniture panel 40. In this case, the front-side opening is then introduced into the furniture panel 40 from the front side, in particular milled. For this purpose, the mounting box 50 may be composed entirely or at least in a front part of a suitably machinable milled-in material, forming a defined edge. If a cover is provided for the fitting edge fixed to the mounting box 50, the cover can be inserted after the opening milling.

Fig. 9a and 9b show an alternative design of the frame 53 of the mounting box 50 in a side view (fig. 9a) or in an isometric exploded view (fig. 9 b). Only the frame 53 is shown. Similar to the first exemplary embodiment in fig. 3 to 8b, this may supplement the side panels 51 to form the complete mounting box 50.

The mounting box 50 mounted by means of the frame 53 of fig. 9a, 9b corresponds in its basic structure, its use and its function to that shown in the first embodiment. Explicit reference is made here to the corresponding explanations relating to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment are specifically shown.

In the embodiment of fig. 9a, 9b, the frame 53 is made in one piece, also advantageously as a plastic injection-molded part.

In the region of the upper frame region opposite the clamping element 57, and in the region in which the projection 564 is arranged in the first embodiment, the spring element 58 is arranged on the frame 53 in the embodiment described. They can be inserted in a clamping manner into corresponding portions of the frame 53. In the example shown, the fastening is provided by means of rivets which are integrally formed on the frame 53 and pressed by using heat.

The spring element 58 clamps the displacement fitting 30 and additionally enables a greater tolerance compensation than in the first exemplary embodiment.

In both embodiments, an eccentric 573 is used for clamping the clamping element 574 onto the fitting 30. To achieve up and down movement of the clamping element 574, alternative elements may also be used, such as a wedge system using the ramp principle.
