Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Schrankelement mit einer Steighilfe gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a cabinet element a climbing aid according to the preamble of claim 1.

Insbesondere bei Kücheneinrichtungen findet man häufig Unterschränke, die durch eine Abdeckplatte, die als Arbeits- und Abstellfläche dient, abgedeckt sind, und bei welchen mit Abstand von dieser Abdeckplatte Oberschränke an der Wand der Küche befestigt sind. Um möglichst viel Stauraum zu erhalten, reichen diese Oberschränke oftmals bis knapp unter die Decke der Küche. Um allen Personen den Zugang zu den obersten Bereichen dieser Oberschränke zu ermöglichen, werden Steighilfen verwendet, die vorzugsweise selbststehend sind und zusammenklappbar sind. Um die Benutzung derartiger Steighilfen möglichst bequem zu gestalten, sollte diese Steighilfe möglichst nahe am Ort des Gebrauchs untergebracht sein, derart, dass die Unterbringung eine normale Tätigkeit einer Person in der Küche nicht beeinträchtigt.Base cabinets are often found, especially in kitchen furnishings, by a cover plate that serves as a work and storage surface, are covered, and in which at a distance from this cover plate wall cabinets are attached to the wall of the kitchen. To provide as much storage space as possible received, these wall units often reach just below the ceiling of the Kitchen. To give everyone access to the top areas of this To enable wall units, climbing aids are used, which are preferred are self-standing and foldable. To use such To make climbing aids as comfortable as possible, this climbing aid should be as possible be placed close to the place of use, such that the accommodation does not affect a person's normal activity in the kitchen.

Es ist bekannt, dass derartige Steighilfen im Sockelbereich der Unterschränke untergebracht werden können. Hierzu ist es aber erforderlich, dass das Sockelbrett von diesen Unterschränken unterbrochen werden muss. Dies bedingt auch einen erhöhten Aufwand für die Befestigung der mehrstückigen Sockelbretter, das die Steighilfe abdeckende Sockelbrettstück muss herausnehmbar sein, wodurch ein relativ breiter Spalt zum Boden geschaffen werden muss, was in ästhetischer Hinsicht nicht optimal ist, insbesondere wenn der Boden mit einem Teppich belegt ist oder einen unebenen Plattenbelag aufweist. Ferner müssen im Sockelbereich der Unterschränke entsprechende Führungen angebracht werden, so dass die Steighilfe in die richtige Position gebracht wird, damit das entsprechende Sockelbrettstück auch genau in die Lücke des Sockels passt. Diese Führungen sind relativ aufwendig, insbesondere ist deren Montage ebenfalls mit einem entsprechenden Aufwand verbunden.It is known that such climbing aids in the base area of the base cabinets can be accommodated. However, this requires that the base board must be interrupted by these base cabinets. This also requires an increased effort for fastening the multi-piece Base boards, the base board piece covering the climbing aid must be removable be, which creates a relatively wide gap to the ground must, which is not optimal from an aesthetic point of view, especially if the The floor is carpeted or has an uneven slab. Appropriate guides must also be located in the base area of the base cabinets be attached so that the climbing aid is brought into the correct position, so that the corresponding base board piece also exactly in the gap of the Base fits. These guides are relatively complex, in particular theirs Assembly also involves a corresponding effort.

Des weiteren ist es nicht ganz einfach, insbesondere wenn das Sockelbrettstück, das den Aufnahmebereich im Sockelbereich für die Steighilfe abdecken soll, mit der Steighilfe verbunden ist, diese Steighilfe aufzuklappen bzw. diese wieder zusammen zu legen. Furthermore, it is not that easy, especially if it is Socket board piece, which the receiving area in the plinth area for the climbing aid cover, is connected to the climbing aid, open this climbing aid or put them back together.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, ein Schrankelement zu schaffen, welches in einfacher Weise eine Steighilfe aufnehmen kann, deren Handhabung zum Unterbringen und Herausnehmen im bzw. aus dem Schrankelement in einfachster Weise erfolgen kann und bei welchem die erforderlichen Mittel für die Aufnahme dieser Steighilfe im Schrankelement sehr einfach sind und deren Montage keinen grossen Aufwand erfordert.The object of the present invention is now a To create cabinet element, which easily accommodate a climbing aid can, their handling for accommodating and removing in or can be done in the simplest way from the cabinet element and in which the means required to accommodate this climbing aid in the cabinet element are very simple and their assembly does not require much effort.

Erfindungsgemäss erfolgt die Lösung dieser Aufgabe durch die im Anspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale.According to the invention this object is achieved by the Claim 1 listed features.

In vorteilhafter Weise können diese Führungen an irgend einer der Ablageplatten in einem Schrankelement angeordnet werden, beispielsweise an der Abdeckplatte oder an einem der Tablare, je nachdem, wo der erforderliche Platz vorhanden ist und wo von der Höhe her ein optimaler Zugriff gewährleistet ist.Advantageously, these guides can be on any of the Storage plates can be arranged in a cabinet element, for example the cover plate or on one of the trays, depending on where the required Space is available and where optimal access is guaranteed from the height is.

In vorteilhafter Weise weist die Steighilfe die Form einer Bockleiter auf, welche zwei Seitenholme mit mindestens einer dazwischen angeordneten Trittfläche und mit den Seitenholmen schwenkbar verbundene Stützbeine umfasst, und welche zum Einschieben in die Führungen an der Unterseite der Ablageplatte zusammenklappbar ist, so dass ein im wesentlichen plattenförmiges Element entsteht, das vorzugsweise eine geringe Dicke hat. Dadurch wird der Platzbedarf für das Unterbringen dieser Steighilfe im Schrankelement sehr gering.The climbing aid advantageously has the shape of a fixed ladder on which two side rails with at least one arranged in between Tread surface and support legs pivotally connected to the side rails, and which to insert into the guides on the underside of the shelf is collapsible, so that an essentially plate-shaped Element arises, which preferably has a small thickness. This will make the Very little space is required to accommodate this climbing aid in the cabinet element.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Führungen aus zwei Schienen gebildet sind, die an der Unterseite der entsprechenden Ablageplatte befestigt sind und jeweils eine im wesentlichen horizontale Gleitfläche und eine im wesentlichen vertikale seitliche Führungsfläche für die Aufnahme der Steighilfe aufweisen. Diese beiden Schienen können somit aus einfachen Normprofilen bestehen, die in einfacher Weise an die Unterseite der entsprechenden Ablageplatte angeschraubt werden können.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that the guides are formed from two rails that are at the bottom of the corresponding tray are attached and each one essentially horizontal sliding surface and a substantially vertical lateral guide surface have for the inclusion of the climbing aid. These two rails can thus consist of simple standard profiles, which in a simple manner to the bottom the corresponding shelf can be screwed.

In vorteilhafter Weise weist die Steighilfe Anschläge auf, wodurch die eingeschobene Position der Steighilfe in den Führungen begrenzt ist.The climbing aid advantageously has stops, as a result of which the inserted position of the climbing aid in the guides is limited.

In einfacher Weise können diese Anschläge aus Nocken gebildet sein, die im Fussbereich an den Seitenholmen der Steighilfe angebracht sind und seitlich vorstehend sind.These stops can be formed from cams in a simple manner be attached to the side rails of the climbing aid in the foot area and project laterally.

Um das Einschieben und Herausziehen der Steighilfe in das oder aus dem Schrankelement zu vereinfachen, ist in vorteilhafter Weise im Fussbereich eine Querstrebe angebracht, die als Handgriff dient.To insert and remove the climbing aid in the or To simplify from the cabinet element is advantageously in the foot area a cross strut attached, which serves as a handle.

  • FIG. 2 shows a detail from FIG. 1, in which the guides and the climbing aid used can be seen;
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the tray on which the guides for receiving the climbing aid are attached. and
  • Fig. 4 is a spatial representation of a climbing aid that is removed from the cabinet element and set up for climbing.

    • Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, setzt sich das Schrankelement 1 aus zwei Seitenwänden 2 und 3 und aus im wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichteten Ablageplatten 4, 5, 6 und 7 zusammen. Das hier dargestellte Schrankelement 1 ist ein Teil eines Unterschranks einer Kücheneinrichtung, wobei die Ablageplatte 4 durch die alle Unterschränke abdeckende Abdeckplatte gebildet ist. Dieses Schrankelement 1 kann beispielsweise durch eine schwenkbare Türe 8 verschlossen werden. An der Ablageplatte 5 sind an deren Unterseite Führungen 9 und 10 angebracht, welche der Aufnahme einer im Schrankelement 1 unterbringbaren Steighilfe 11 dienen. Diese Steighilfe 11, die später noch im Detail beschrieben wird, kann in die Führungen 9 und 10 eingeschoben werden, sie kommt dann in platzsparender Weise unter die Ablageplatte 5 zu liegen, und kann in einfacher Weise aus den Führungen 9 und 10 herausgenommen werden. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Steighilfe 11 eine geringe Dicke aufweist, so dass das Mass, um welches die Steighilfe und somit die Führungen 9 und 10 über die untere Oberfläche der Ablageplatte 5 vorstehen, ebenfalls sehr klein gehalten werden. Idealerweise ist die Dicke dieser Steighilfe 11 kleiner als 40 mm.As can be seen from Fig. 1, the cabinet element 1 is exposed two side walls 2 and 3 and of substantially horizontally aligned Trays 4, 5, 6 and 7 together. The cabinet element 1 shown here is part of a base cabinet of a kitchen device, with the shelf 4 is formed by the cover plate covering all base cabinets. This cabinet element 1 can, for example, through a pivotable door 8 be closed. On the storage plate 5 are guides on the underside 9 and 10 attached, which the inclusion of a in the cabinet element 1 serve to accommodate climbing aid 11. This climbing aid 11, which later in Described in detail, can be inserted into the guides 9 and 10, it then comes to lie in a space-saving manner under the shelf 5, and can be easily removed from the guides 9 and 10. It is advantageous here if the climbing aid 11 has a small thickness, so that the amount by which the climbing aid and thus the guides 9 and 10 protrude above the lower surface of the tray 5, also very much be kept small. Ideally, the thickness of this climbing aid 11 is less than 40 mm.

    Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist, bestehen die Führungen 9 und 10 im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils aus einem Z-Profil. Diese Z-Profile sind an der Unterseite der Ablageplatte 5 angeschraubt, indem der eine Schenkel 12 dieser Z-Profile an der unteren Oberfläche der Ablageplatte 5 zur Anlage kommt. Der Steg 13 bildet jeweils eine vertikale seitliche Führungsfläche für die Steighilfe 11, während der andere Schenkel 14 als horizontale Gleitfläche für die aufgenommene Steighilfe 11 dient. Diese Führungen 9 und 10 können an der Unterseite von irgend einer Ablageplatte 4 bis 7 (Fig. 1) des Schrankelementes 1 angebracht werden, je nachdem, wo am besten Platz vorhanden ist bzw. die Bedienung für die entsprechende Person am optimalsten ist.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the guides 9 exist and 10 in the present exemplary embodiment each from a Z profile. This Z profiles are screwed to the underside of the shelf 5 by the a leg 12 of these Z-profiles on the lower surface of the storage plate 5th comes to the plant. The web 13 forms a vertical lateral guide surface for the climbing aid 11, while the other leg 14 as a horizontal Sliding surface for the included climbing aid 11 is used. These guides 9 and 10 can on the underside of any tray 4 to 7 (Fig. 1) of the Cabinet element 1 are attached, depending on where best available space operation is the most optimal for the person concerned is.

    An Stelle dieser Z-Profile können beispielsweise auch U-Profile verwendet werden, insbesondere wenn die Breite des Schrankelementes ein geringeres Mass aufweisen muss.Instead of these Z profiles, U profiles can also be used, for example be, especially if the width of the cabinet element is smaller Must have measure.

    Eine mögliche Ausführungsform einer Steighilfe 11 ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Diese Steighilfe 11 weist die Form einer Bockleiter auf, welche zwei Seitenholme 15 und 16 aufweist. Zwischen diesen Seitenholmen 15 und 16 sind Trittflächen 17 angeordnet. Mit den Seitenholmen 15 und 16 schwenkbar verbunden sind Stützbeine 18. Diese Steighilfe 11 lässt sich in bekannter Weise zusammenklappen, indem die Stützbeine 18 zur Anlage gebracht werden mit den entsprechenden Seitenholmen 15 und 16, wobei die Trittflächen 17 ebenfalls in bekannter Weise verschwenkt werden, so dass ein im wesentlichen plattenförmiges Element entsteht, wie dies aus den Fig. 1 bis 3 ersichtlich ist. Die so zusammengeklappte Steighilfe lässt sich dann in die entsprechenden Führungen 9 und 10, die an der Ablageplatte 5 befestigt sind, schubladenartig einschieben.A possible embodiment of a climbing aid 11 is shown in FIG. 4. This climbing aid 11 has the shape of a fixed ladder, which two Side bars 15 and 16 has. Between these side rails 15 and 16 treads 17 are arranged. Swiveling with the side rails 15 and 16 support legs 18 are connected. This climbing aid 11 can be made in a known manner fold up by bringing the support legs 18 into contact with the corresponding side rails 15 and 16, the treads 17 also be pivoted in a known manner, so that a substantially plate-shaped element is formed, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3. The climbing aid folded in this way can then be put into the corresponding Guides 9 and 10, which are attached to the storage plate 5, like a drawer Push.

    Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 4 ersichtlich ist, sind im Fussbereich der Seitenholme 15 und 16 und in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel auch an den Stützbeinen 18 Nocken 19 angebracht, die seitlich vorstehend sind. Diese Nocken 19 dienen als Anschlag, mit welchem die in die Führungen 9 und 10 eingeschobene Position der Steighilfe 11 begrenzt wird. Diese Nocken 19 stossen dann jeweils am Steg 13 (Fig. 3) der Führungen 9 und 10 an.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, are in the foot area Side bars 15 and 16 and in this embodiment also on the support legs 18 cams 19 attached, which are laterally projecting. These cams 19 serve as a stop with which the inserted into the guides 9 and 10 Position of the climbing aid 11 is limited. These cams 19 then poke each on the web 13 (Fig. 3) of the guides 9 and 10.

    Wie ebenfalls am besten aus den Fig. 2 und 4 ersichtlich ist, ist im Fussbereich zwischen die beiden Seitenholme 15 und 16 der Steighilfe 11 eine Querstrebe 20 eingesetzt. Diese Querstrebe 20 kann als Handgriff für das Einschieben und Herausziehen der Steighilfe 11 in das bzw. aus dem Schrankelement 1 dienen, wodurch die Handhabung vereinfacht wird.As is also best seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, is in Foot area between the two side rails 15 and 16 of the climbing aid 11 a Cross strut 20 used. This cross strut 20 can be used as a handle for insertion and pulling the climbing aid 11 into and out of the cabinet element 1 serve, which simplifies handling.

    Die an der Unterseite an einer der Ablageplatten 4 bis 7 angebrachten Führungen 9 und 10 ermöglichen die Aufnahme auch anderer Steighilfen, als sie beim hier beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt ist. Diese können beispielsweise nur eine Trittfläche aufweisen, vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Steighilfe 11 zusammengeklappt werden kann und ein plattenförmiges Element bildet, das eine möglichst geringe Dicke aufweist.Mounted on the underside of one of the shelf plates 4 to 7 Guides 9 and 10 also allow the inclusion of other climbing aids, than shown in the embodiment described here. these can for example, have only one tread, it is advantageous if the Climbing aid 11 can be folded and a plate-shaped element forms, which has the smallest possible thickness.

    Mit dieser erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung lässt sich eine Steighilfe in optimaler Weise in einem Schrankelement unterbringen, der Platzbedarf ist äusserst gering, die Handhabung ist sehr einfach.This device according to the invention can be used to climb accommodate in an optimal way in a cabinet element that requires space extremely low, handling is very easy.
