Definitions
- the invention relates to an adapter for connecting a front panel to a side frame of a furniture part, in particular a pull-out box such as a drawer or a drawer, and a corresponding furniture part with front panel, side frame and this adapter.
- Drawers and similar furniture parts essentially consist of a bottom plate, two side and one rear frame and a user-facing front panel, optionally with front handles or a corresponding engagement strip for gripping the front panel.
- the front panel is mounted by means of an adapter to the side frames.
- the adapter is first firmly screwed on one side firmly to the back of the front panel so that it protrudes from the front panel on the back, and with the other, projecting end of the adapter is inserted into the hollow end side of the respective frame.
- a side bolt penetrating and engaging in the adapter side frame and adapter are firmly bolted together, so that overall results in a stable connection of the frame to the front panel.
- Mechanisms of this type are widely known, for example DE 10 2009 025 890 A1 .
- EP 0 636 327 A1 are widely known, for example DE 10 2009 025 890 A1 .
- the WO 2008/010036 discloses an adapter according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a simple solution for connecting a frame with a front panel using an adapter.
- an inventive adapter for connecting a front panel to a side frame of a furniture part on the one hand means for attaching the adapter to a back of the front panel to be connected such that the adapter points away from the back of the front panel, namely in a "first direction” protrudes.
- the adapter comprises a floating element in the form of a floating mother or screw. Namely, this element is floatingly mounted with respect to the aforementioned "first direction", so it can be reciprocated parallel to this direction so as to be movable toward the rear of the front panel and movable away from the back of the front panel.
- a peculiarity of the floating element is that it has an inclined surface inclined with respect to said first direction.
- This inclined surface of the floating element is directly opposite a ramp of the adapter.
- the arrangement of inclined surface and bevel is chosen so that, if one moves the floating element so that it runs with its inclined surface on the ramp of the adapter, it in one of first direction opposite direction is urged. In other words, moves the floating element of the adapter to the back of the front panel. If you now firmly coupled the element with a frame, for example by means of a frame penetrating and coupled with the floating element shaft, so the frame is moved to the back of the front panel with the movement of the floating element at the same time and lies there with her face on.
- fixation axis The fferlochachse (hereinafter also referred to as "fixation axis") of the nut is aligned so that when tightening the nut on the one hand, the inclined surface of the nut runs on the ramp of the adapter (function a) and on the other hand, either the mother against the frame or the nut against the Adapter and the adapter are pressed against the frame (function b).
- the fferlochachse when aligned perpendicular to the "first direction", because then the shaft of the screw, with which the floating bearing nut is tightened, in a simple manner, for example, transversely through a wall of the frame into the Screw hole of the mother can be introduced.
- the frame with the floating nut When tightening the screw for the first time, the frame with the floating nut then moves towards the front panel, where it lies against its front.
- the mother clamps the adapter against a wall of the frame, so that the frame is firmly clamped in this way as a result against the back of the front panel.
- a floating screw can be used, which is firmly connected using a corresponding nut with the frame. It is essential only that the adapter has a floating element with said inclined surface, and that this floating element has a Fixationsachse which extends to the said "first direction" preferably in a substantially vertical second direction, the inclined surface of the floating mounted element is inclined with respect to this fixation axis.
- the fixation axis is formed by the screw hole axis of the screw hole of the nut.
- the fixation axis is formed by the longitudinal axis of the screw.
- the fixation axis is thus that axis over which the floating element and the frame are fixed together. In the concrete embodiment, this may mean that the floating element is tightened against the frame along this axis of fixation.
- the floating element with the acting against the ramp of the adapter inclined surface offers on the one hand the advantage that manufacturing tolerances can be absorbed, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the frame is pulled towards the front by the inclined surface, so that a stable connection is established.
- This tensile force is transmitted from the floating element on the frame by the screw shaft, so either by the shaft of the floating screw or by the shaft of cooperating with the floating mother screw.
- This shaft is thus not only subjected to train when the element is tightened against the frame, but also by the fact that the frame is pulled against the back of the front panel, loaded by lateral forces.
- a passageway for this shaft in the adapter is sized to permit movement of the shaft transverse to the axis of fixation, particularly parallel to the "first direction”.
- this passage also permits a movement in a direction transverse to the "first direction", ie upwards or downwards. So then the height of the front panel can be adjusted relative to the frame in a simple manner, without the shaft hinders such adjustment.
- the passage in the adapter is accordingly preferably designed as a slot running parallel to the rear side of the front panel.
- At least one elastic element preferably two elastic elements, can be provided which urges the floating element into this defined starting position.
- the floating element is a floating screw, so that the screw hole of this screw easy to find. If the floating element is designed as a floating screw, the screw shaft protrudes out of the adapter anyway and out through the frame wall, so that a defined starting position of the floating element is less important in this case.
- the floating element may advantageously have an uneven surface structure cooperating with the elastic element, in particular, for example, a depression in which the elastic element engages. This facilitates the mounting of the floating element in the adapter in the desired defined starting position.
- a very simple and effective embodiment of the elastic element may comprise, for example, a spiral spring, which bears laterally against the floating element and preferably engages in the aforementioned recess.
- the adapter or its main body can be produced in a simple manner as a cheap plastic injection molded part, and optionally also the floating element and / or the elastic element can be plastic parts.
- the adapter described above is preferably inserted into a front side of the side frame and clamped by tightening the floating element against a side wall of the side frame. If a floating nut is used in combination with a countersunk screw, the side frame has a corresponding countersunk hole.
- FIG. 1 shows a rear section of a front panel 1 and an adapter 2, which is attached to the back of the front panel 1.
- the main body of the adapter is preferably made of plastic.
- the adapter has a base 21 with passages for the passage of fasteners as fastening means.
- fasteners serve in the illustrated embodiment screws, which are screwed into Einpressmuffen 12, which in turn are pressed into receiving openings 13 of the front panel 1.
- the two screws 11 and Einpressmuffen 12 can be sold together with the adapter 2 as a set.
- the adapter 2 is the back of the front panel in one direction, which should be referred to as "first direction" here. This first direction is in FIG. 1 denoted by an arrow R.
- the adapter 2 has a receptacle 22 in which a nut is mounted floating.
- the mother is in FIG. 1 not to be seen and will be related later FIG. 3 described in more detail.
- a slot 23 in the adapter 2 allows to screw from the outside a screw in the screw hole 27 of the (not shown) floating nut.
- FIG. 2 is shown how a frame 3 is connected to the front panel 1 by means of two such adapters 2.
- the frame 3 is slipped with its front side over the two adapters 2.
- a transverse screw 40 is screwed through a side wall of the frame and the slot 23 of the adapter 2 into the screw hole 27 of the floating nut and dressed.
- the adapter 2 is pressed with an outer wall against the inside of the frame wall. The static friction between the adapter 2 and the frame 3 then prevents slipping of the front.
- the floating nut and the adapter 2 are specially designed. This will be explained below with reference to Figures 3 and 4A to 4C explained.
- the body of the adapter 2 is in FIG. 3 shown transparent. To see the base 21 with passages 24 for passing the in FIG. 1 shown screws 11 and the receptacle 22 in which a nut 25 is floatingly mounted. A locking pin 26 prevents falling out of the floating nut 25 from the receptacle 22nd
- Essential for the stable fixation of the frame 3 at the back of the front panel 1 is the mobility or floating mounting of the nut 25 in the X direction parallel to the first direction R. Freedom of movement, the floating bearing nut 25 also in a direction Y perpendicular to the X. Direction, namely in a direction parallel to the screw hole axis A of the screw hole 27 of the nut 25. If now, as in the FIGS. 4A to 4C shown in cross-section, a screw 40 is screwed into the screw hole 27 of the floating nut 25, the nut 25 is tightened along the rantlochachse A in the direction of the screw head 41. The screw head 41 is supported on the frame (not shown).
- FIG. 4A shows the adapter 2 with the floating nut 25 in a starting position
- FIG. 4B the ideal end position of the nut 25, in which the frame 3 with its end face 31 firmly against the back of the front panel 1. Since in this situation, the frame 3 can not be moved to the front panel 1, and the floating-mounted nut 25 can not continue with its inclined surface 28 on the ramp 29 along. Instead, a further tightening of the floating nut 25 by means of the screw 40 merely leads to building and to increase a clamping force between a contact surface 30 of the adapter 2 and an inner wall surface of the frame 3.
- the floating nut 25 it is thus possible both tighten the frame firmly against the back of the front panel 1 and tighten the adapter 2 firmly against the frame 3.
- the floating bearing nut 25 is floating not only in a direction X parallel to the first direction R floating, but also in a direction perpendicular thereto Z. This makes it possible to adjust the relative altitude between the front panel 1 and the frame 3 , As long as the frame 3 rests with its front side 31 on the back of the front panel 1 but not yet tightened, the front panel 1 and the frame 3 can be moved to each other. Thereafter, the floating bearing nut 25 and the mother of the entire adapter 2 is further tightened against the inside of the frame 3 and so fixed all components against each other. In order not to hinder this height adjustment, the passage 23 in the adapter 2 for passing the screw 40 is designed as a slot. Thus, the floating bearing nut 25 can be moved up and down together with the screw 40 relative to the main body of the adapter 2.
- a screw can be stored floating in the adapter 2 and are coupled in a corresponding manner from the outside with a mother.
- a floating provided element is provided, which can be firmly connected to the frame, for example via a screw or a nut, with the frame moves with the floating element on the back of the front panel 1, when the inclined surface of the floating element on the ramp of the adapter runs.
- the use of a floating nut and a screw, in particular countersunk screw, however, is particularly simple and correspondingly inexpensive and requires little space.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show once in cross section and even as an exploded perspective view of an adapter 2 according to a development. While the locking pin 26 ( FIG. 3 ) ensures only falling out of the nut 25 from the receptacle 22 of the adapter 2, in the illustrated embodiment of the adapter 2 of the locking pin 26 is replaced by two elastic elements 50 which hold the floating-mounted nut 25 in a defined starting position. In this initial position or "zero position" is the altitude (Z direction in FIG. 3 ) specified approximately in the middle. At the same time, the floating nut 25 is far away from the frame to be connected to it, as in FIG. 4A shown.
- the elastic elements 50 are preferably made of plastic and, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, have curved bending springs 51 which engage in corresponding recesses 25A on the upper and lower sides of the floating nut 25.
- Other configurations, for example, with more or less elastic elements 50, are also possible.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Adapter zum Anbinden einer Frontblende an eine Seitenzarge eines Möbelteils, insbesondere eines Auszugskastens wie zum Beispiel eine Schublade oder ein Schubfach, sowie ein entsprechendes Möbelteil mit Frontblende, Seitenzarge und diesem Adapter.The invention relates to an adapter for connecting a front panel to a side frame of a furniture part, in particular a pull-out box such as a drawer or a drawer, and a corresponding furniture part with front panel, side frame and this adapter.
Schubladen und ähnliche Möbelteile bestehen im wesentlichen aus einer Bodenplatte, zwei seitlichen und einer hinteren Zarge sowie einer dem Benutzer zugewandten Frontblende, gegebenenfalls mit vorderseitigen Griffen oder einer entsprechenden Eingriffsleiste zum Ergreifen der Frontblende.Drawers and similar furniture parts essentially consist of a bottom plate, two side and one rear frame and a user-facing front panel, optionally with front handles or a corresponding engagement strip for gripping the front panel.
Vielfach wird die Frontblende mittels eines Adapters an die Seitenzargen montiert. Dazu wird der Adapter zunächst einseitig fest an die Rückseite der Frontblende angeschraubt, so dass er von der Frontblende rückseitig absteht, und mit dem anderen, abstehenden Ende wird der Adapter in die hohle Stirnseite der betreffenden Zarge eingesetzt. Mittels einer die Zarge durchdringenden und in den Adapter eingreifenden seitlichen Schraube werden Zarge und Adapter fest miteinander verschraubt, so dass sich insgesamt eine stabile Anbindung der Zarge an die Frontblende ergibt. Mechanismen dieser Art sind vielfach bekannt, beispielsweise aus
Die
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine einfache Lösung zur Verbindung einer Zarge mit einer Frontblende unter Verwendung eines Adapters anzugeben.Object of the present invention is to provide a simple solution for connecting a frame with a front panel using an adapter.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Adapter mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. In davon abhängigen Ansprüchen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung angegeben.This object is achieved by an adapter having the features of independent claim 1. In dependent claims advantageous developments and refinements of the invention are given.
Dementsprechend umfasst ein erfindungsgemäßer Adapter zum Anbinden einer Frontblende an eine Seitenzarge eines Möbelteils einerseits Mittel zum Befestigen des Adapters an einer Rückseite der anzubindenden Frontblende derart, dass der Adapter von der Rückseite der Frontblende weg weist, nämlich in einer "ersten Richtung" absteht. Andererseits umfasst der Adapter ein schwimmend gelagertes Element in Form einer Schwimmend gelagerten Mutter oder Schraube. Und zwar ist dieses Element bezuglich der vorgenannten "ersten Richtung" schwimmend gelagert, kann also parallel zu dieser Richtung hin- und herbewegt werden, so dass es auf die Rückseite der Frontblende zu bewegbar und von der Rückseite der Frontblende wegbewegbar ist.Accordingly, an inventive adapter for connecting a front panel to a side frame of a furniture part on the one hand means for attaching the adapter to a back of the front panel to be connected such that the adapter points away from the back of the front panel, namely in a "first direction" protrudes. On the other hand, the adapter comprises a floating element in the form of a floating mother or screw. Namely, this element is floatingly mounted with respect to the aforementioned "first direction", so it can be reciprocated parallel to this direction so as to be movable toward the rear of the front panel and movable away from the back of the front panel.
Eine Besonderheit des schwimmend gelagerten Elements besteht darin, dass es eine Schrägfläche aufweist, welche in Bezug auf die genannte erste Richtung geneigt ist. Dieser Schrägfläche des schwimmend gelagerten Elements liegt eine Auflaufschräge des Adapters unmittelbar gegenüber. Die Anordnung von Schrägfläche und Auflaufschräge ist dabei so gewählt, dass, wenn man das schwimmend gelagerte Element so verlagert, dass es mit seiner Schrägfläche auf die Auflaufschräge des Adapters aufläuft, es in einer der ersten Richtung entgegengesetzten Richtung gedrängt wird. Mit anderen Worten bewegt sich dabei das schwimmend gelagerte Element des Adapters auf die Rückseite der Frontblende zu. Wenn man nun das Element fest mit einer Zarge koppelt, beispielsweise mittels eines die Zarge durchdringenden und mit dem schwimmend gelagerten Element gekoppelten Schafts, so wird mit der Bewegung des schwimmend gelagerten Elements gleichzeitig auch die Zarge auf die Rückseite der Frontblende zu bewegt und legt sich dort mit ihrer Stirnseite an.A peculiarity of the floating element is that it has an inclined surface inclined with respect to said first direction. This inclined surface of the floating element is directly opposite a ramp of the adapter. The arrangement of inclined surface and bevel is chosen so that, if one moves the floating element so that it runs with its inclined surface on the ramp of the adapter, it in one of first direction opposite direction is urged. In other words, moves the floating element of the adapter to the back of the front panel. If you now firmly coupled the element with a frame, for example by means of a frame penetrating and coupled with the floating element shaft, so the frame is moved to the back of the front panel with the movement of the floating element at the same time and lies there with her face on.
Um nun in dieser Situation eine insgesamt stabile Verbindung zwischen der Frontblende und der mit ihrer Stirnseite daran anliegenden Zarge zu erreichen, werden vorteilhaft zusätzliche Mittel vorgesehen, mittels welcher das schwimmend gelagerte Element relativ zum Adapter und/oder der Adapter relativ zur Zarge fixiert werden können. Denkbar sind insoweit zahlreiche Alternativen, von denen jedoch solche bevorzugt werden, die es ermöglichen, die beiden Funktionen, nämlich (a) die Verlagerung des schwimmend gelagerten Elements mit seiner Schrägfläche in Richtung auf die Auflaufschräge und (b) das Fixieren des schwimmend gelagerten Elements relativ zum Adapter bzw. des Adapters relativ zur Zarge, in einem Arbeitsgang, besonders bevorzugt in einer kontinuierlichen Bewegung, zu realisieren. Für beide Funktionen wird daher bevorzugt ein gemeinsames Bauelement eingesetzt.In order to achieve an overall stable connection between the front panel and the frame with its front side in this situation, additional means are advantageously provided by means of which the floating element can be fixed relative to the adapter and / or the adapter relative to the frame. Numerous alternatives are conceivable in this respect, of which, however, preference is given to those which enable the two functions, namely (a) the displacement of the floating element with its inclined surface in the direction of the ramp and (b) the fixing of the floating element relative to realize the adapter or the adapter relative to the frame, in one operation, particularly preferably in a continuous movement. Therefore, a common component is preferably used for both functions.
In diesem Sinne kann als besonders bevorzugtes schwimmend gelagertes Element eine schwimmend gelagerte Mutter dienen. Die Schraublochachse (nachfolgend auch als "Fixationsachse" bezeichnet) der Mutter ist dabei so ausgerichtet, dass beim Anziehen der Mutter einerseits die Schrägfläche der Mutter auf die Auflaufschräge des Adapters aufläuft (Funktion a) und andererseits entweder die Mutter gegen die Zarge oder die Mutter gegen den Adapter und der Adapter gegen die Zarge gepresst werden (Funktion b). Besonders bevorzugt ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, wenn die Schraublochachse senkrecht zur "ersten Richtung" ausgerichtet ist, weil dann der Schaft der Schraube, mit der die schwimmend gelagerte Mutter angezogen wird, in einfacher Weise zum Beispiel quer durch eine Wand der Zarge hindurch in das Schraubloch der Mutter eingeführt werden kann. Beim ersten Anziehen der Schraube bewegt sich dann die Zarge mit der schwimmend gelagerten Mutter auf die Frontblende zu und legt sich dort mit seiner Stirnseite an. Durch weiteres Anziehen der schwimmend gelagerten Mutter klemmt die Mutter zum Beispiel den Adapter gegen eine Wand der Zarge, so dass die Zarge auf diese Weise im Ergebnis fest gegen die Rückseite der Frontblende verspannt ist.In this sense, serve as a particularly preferred floating element mounted floating mother. The Schraublochachse (hereinafter also referred to as "fixation axis") of the nut is aligned so that when tightening the nut on the one hand, the inclined surface of the nut runs on the ramp of the adapter (function a) and on the other hand, either the mother against the frame or the nut against the Adapter and the adapter are pressed against the frame (function b). It is particularly preferred in this context, when the Schraublochachse is aligned perpendicular to the "first direction", because then the shaft of the screw, with which the floating bearing nut is tightened, in a simple manner, for example, transversely through a wall of the frame into the Screw hole of the mother can be introduced. When tightening the screw for the first time, the frame with the floating nut then moves towards the front panel, where it lies against its front. By further tightening the floating nut, for example, the mother clamps the adapter against a wall of the frame, so that the frame is firmly clamped in this way as a result against the back of the front panel.
Anstatt eine schwimmend gelagerte Mutter zu verwenden, welche mittels einer Schraube fest mit der Zarge verbunden wird, kann im Wege der kinematischen Umkehr auch eine schwimmend gelagerte Schraube eingesetzt werden, die unter Verwendung einer entsprechenden Mutter mit der Zarge fest verbunden wird. Wesentlich ist allein, dass der Adapter ein schwimmend gelagertes Element mit der besagten Schrägfläche aufweist, und dass dieses schwimmend gelagerte Element eine Fixationsachse besitzt, die zu der genannten "ersten Richtung" vorzugsweise in einer im wesentlichen senkrechten zweiten Richtung verläuft, wobei die Schrägfläche des schwimmend gelagerten Elements in Bezug auf diese Fixationsachse geneigt ist. Denn nur im Falle einer zur Fixationsachse geneigten Schrägfläche ist es möglich, durch "Anziehen" bzw. Verlagern des schwimmend gelagerten Elements in Richtung der Fixationsachse eine Kraft über die Schrägfläche des schwimmend gelagerten Elements auf die ihr gegenüberliegende Auflaufschräge des Adapters zu übertragen, welche letztlich dafür sorgt, dass das schwimmend gelagerte Element (einschließlich der daran angebundenen Zarge) sich auf die Rückseite der Frontblende zu bewegt. Im Falle einer schwimmend gelagerten Mutter wird die Fixationsachse durch die Schraublochachse des Schraublochs der Mutter gebildet.Instead of using a floating nut, which is connected by a screw fixed to the frame, by means of kinematic reversal, a floating screw can be used, which is firmly connected using a corresponding nut with the frame. It is essential only that the adapter has a floating element with said inclined surface, and that this floating element has a Fixationsachse which extends to the said "first direction" preferably in a substantially vertical second direction, the inclined surface of the floating mounted element is inclined with respect to this fixation axis. Because only in the case of inclined to the fixation axis inclined surface, it is possible by "tightening" or displacing the floating element in the direction of the fixation axis to transmit a force on the inclined surface of the floating element on the opposite bevel of the adapter, which ultimately Ensures that the floating element (including the attached frame) on the back of the front panel moves too. In the case of a floating nut, the fixation axis is formed by the screw hole axis of the screw hole of the nut.
Im Falle einer schwimmend gelagerten Schraube wird die Fixationsachse durch die Längsachse der Schraube gebildet. Die Fixationsachse ist somit diejenige Achse, über die das schwimmend gelagerte Element und die Zarge miteinander fixiert werden. In der konkreten Ausführung kann dies bedeuten, dass das schwimmend gelagerte Element entlang dieser Fixationsachse gegen die Zarge angezogen wird.In the case of a floating screw, the fixation axis is formed by the longitudinal axis of the screw. The fixation axis is thus that axis over which the floating element and the frame are fixed together. In the concrete embodiment, this may mean that the floating element is tightened against the frame along this axis of fixation.
Das schwimmend gelagerte Element mit der gegen die Auflaufschräge des Adapters wirkenden Schrägfläche bietet einerseits den Vorteil, dass Fertigungstoleranzen aufgefangen werden können, wie nachfolgend noch detailliert erläutert wird. Andererseits wird durch die Schrägfläche die Zarge zur Front hin gezogen, so dass eine stabile Verbindung aufgebaut wird. Diese Zugkraft wird von dem schwimmend gelagerten Element auf die Zarge durch den Schraubenschaft übertragen, also entweder durch den Schaft der schwimmend gelagerten Schraube oder durch den Schaft der mit der schwimmend gelagerten Mutter zusammenwirkenden Schraube. Dieser Schaft wird somit nicht nur auf Zug beansprucht, wenn das Element gegen die Zarge angezogen wird, sondern wird desweiteren dadurch, dass die Zarge gegen die Rückseite der Frontblende gezogen wird, durch Querkräfte belastet.The floating element with the acting against the ramp of the adapter inclined surface offers on the one hand the advantage that manufacturing tolerances can be absorbed, as will be explained in more detail below. On the other hand, the frame is pulled towards the front by the inclined surface, so that a stable connection is established. This tensile force is transmitted from the floating element on the frame by the screw shaft, so either by the shaft of the floating screw or by the shaft of cooperating with the floating mother screw. This shaft is thus not only subjected to train when the element is tightened against the frame, but also by the fact that the frame is pulled against the back of the front panel, loaded by lateral forces.
Um zu vermeiden, dass der Kopf der mit einer schwimmend gelagerten Mutter verwendeten Schraube aus der Zarge hervorsteht, kann es vorteilhaft sein, eine Senkkopfschraube einzusetzen. Dann wirken die vorbeschriebenen Querkräfte nicht auf den Schaft der Senkkopfschraube sondern auf die Schrägfläche des Senkkopfs.In order to avoid that the head of the screw used with a floating nut protrudes from the frame, it may be advantageous to use a countersunk screw. Then the above work Transverse forces not on the shaft of the countersunk screw but on the inclined surface of the countersunk head.
Beim Auflaufen der Schrägfläche des schwimmend gelagerten Elements auf die Auflaufschräge des Adapters bewegt sich mit dem schwimmend gelagerten Element auch dessen Fixationsachse in einer Richtung parallel zur "ersten Richtung", das heißt die Fixationsachse bewegt sich ebenfalls auf die Frontblende zu. Daher ist es zweckmäßig, dass der entlang der Fixationsachse verlaufende Schaft (sei es der Schaft einer schwimmend gelagerten Schraube oder der Schaft einer mit einer schwimmend gelagerten Mutter zusammenwirkenden Schraube) diese Bewegung nicht behindert. Dementsprechend ist ein Durchgang für diesen Schaft in dem Adapter so bemessen, dass er eine Bewegung des Schafts quer zur Fixationsachse, insbesondere parallel zur "ersten Richtung", zulässt.When running the inclined surface of the floating element on the ramp of the adapter moves with the floating element and its fixation axis in a direction parallel to the "first direction", that is, the fixation axis also moves to the front panel. Therefore, it is expedient that the shaft running along the fixation axis (be it the shaft of a floating screw or the shaft of a screw co-operating with a floating nut) does not hinder this movement. Accordingly, a passageway for this shaft in the adapter is sized to permit movement of the shaft transverse to the axis of fixation, particularly parallel to the "first direction".
Besonders bevorzugt ist es aber, wenn dieser Durchgang auch eine Bewegung in einer Richtung quer zur "ersten Richtung", also nach oben oder unten, erlaubt. So kann dann in einfacher Weise die Höhe der Frontblende relativ zur Zarge justiert werden, ohne dass der Schaft eine solche Justage behindert. Der Durchgang in dem Adapter ist dementsprechend vorzugsweise als ein zur Rückseite der Frontblende parallel verlaufendes Langloch ausgebildet.However, it is particularly preferred if this passage also permits a movement in a direction transverse to the "first direction", ie upwards or downwards. So then the height of the front panel can be adjusted relative to the frame in a simple manner, without the shaft hinders such adjustment. The passage in the adapter is accordingly preferably designed as a slot running parallel to the rear side of the front panel.
Um das schwimmend gelagerte Element in einer definierten Ausgangslage zu halten, kann desweiteren mindestens ein elastisches Element, vorzugsweise zwei elastische Elemente, vorgesehen sein, welches das schwimmend gelagerte Element in diese definierte Ausgangslage drängt. Dies ist insbesondere von Vorteil, wenn das schwimmend gelagerte Element eine schwimmend gelagerte Schraube ist, so dass das Schraubloch dieser Schraube leicht auffindbar ist. Ist das schwimmend gelagerte Element als schwimmend gelagerte Schraube ausgeführt, so ragt der Schraubenschaft ohnehin aus dem Adapter heraus und durch die Zargenwand nach außen, so dass eine definierte Ausgangslage des schwimmend gelagerten Elements in diesem Falle von geringerer Bedeutung ist.In order to keep the floating element in a defined starting position, furthermore, at least one elastic element, preferably two elastic elements, can be provided which urges the floating element into this defined starting position. This is particularly advantageous if the floating element is a floating screw, so that the screw hole of this screw easy to find. If the floating element is designed as a floating screw, the screw shaft protrudes out of the adapter anyway and out through the frame wall, so that a defined starting position of the floating element is less important in this case.
Das schwimmend gelagerte Element kann vorteilhaft eine mit dem elastischen Element zusammenwirkende, unebene Oberflächenstruktur aufweisen, insbesondere zum Beispiel eine Vertiefung, in die das elastische Element eingreift. Dies erleichtert die Montage des schwimmend gelagerten Elements in dem Adapter in der gewünschten definierten Ausgangslage.The floating element may advantageously have an uneven surface structure cooperating with the elastic element, in particular, for example, a depression in which the elastic element engages. This facilitates the mounting of the floating element in the adapter in the desired defined starting position.
Eine sehr einfache und effektive Ausgestaltung des elastischen Elements kann beispielsweise eine Biegefeder umfassen, die seitlich gegen das schwimmend gelagerte Element anliegt und vorzugsweise in die vorgenannte Vertiefung eingreift.A very simple and effective embodiment of the elastic element may comprise, for example, a spiral spring, which bears laterally against the floating element and preferably engages in the aforementioned recess.
Der Adapter bzw. dessen Hauptkörper kann in einfacher Weise als preiswertes Kunststoffspritzgussteil hergestellt werden, und gegebenenfalls können auch das schwimmend gelagerte Element und/oder das elastische Element Kunststoffteile sein.The adapter or its main body can be produced in a simple manner as a cheap plastic injection molded part, and optionally also the floating element and / or the elastic element can be plastic parts.
Der zuvor beschriebene Adapter wird vorzugsweise in eine Stirnseite der Seitenzarge eingeführt und durch Anziehen des schwimmend gelagerten Elements gegen eine Seitenwand der Seitenzarge festgeklemmt. Sofern eine schwimmend gelagerte Mutter in Kombination mit einer Senkkopfschraube zum Einsatz kommt, weist die Seitenzarge ein entsprechendes Senkloch auf.The adapter described above is preferably inserted into a front side of the side frame and clamped by tightening the floating element against a side wall of the side frame. If a floating nut is used in combination with a countersunk screw, the side frame has a corresponding countersunk hole.
Bei massiven Zargen, beispielsweise Holzzargen, kann für den Adapter innerhalb der Zarge durch eine entsprechende Aussparung Platz geschaffen werden. Im Bedarfsfall wird die Zarge in diesem Bereich durch ein entsprechendes Inlay, beispielsweise einen Blechwinkel, verstärkt, um die Querzugfestigkeit so zu erhöhen, dass die auftretenden Kräfte zuverlässig aufgenommen werden können.In solid frames, such as wooden frames, space can be created for the adapter within the frame by a corresponding recess. If necessary, the frame in this area by a corresponding inlay, such as a metal bracket, reinforced to increase the transverse tensile strength so that the forces can be reliably absorbed.

Um dabei sicherzustellen, dass die Zarge 3 mit ihrer Stirnseite 31 fest an der Rückseite der Frontblende 1 anliegt, sind die schwimmende Mutter und der Adapter 2 speziell ausgestaltet. Dies wird nachfolgend anhand der
Wesentlich für die stabile Fixierung der Zarge 3 an der Rückseite der Frontblende 1 ist die Beweglichkeit bzw. schwimmende Lagerung der Mutter 25 in der X-Richtung parallel zur ersten Richtung R. Bewegungsfreiheit besitzt die schwimmend gelagerte Mutter 25 auch in einer Richtung Y senkrecht zur X-Richtung, nämlich in einer Richtung parallel zur Schraublochachse A des Schraublochs 27 der Mutter 25.

Die spezielle Ausgestaltung der schwimmenden Mutter 25, insbesondere also die mit der Auflaufschräge 29 kooperierende Schrägfläche 28, bietet aber noch den weiteren Vorteil, dass damit Fertigungstoleranzen ausgeglichen werden können. So kann es beispielsweise aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen vorkommen, dass die Zarge 3 nicht bereits in der Situation gemäß
Wie
Anstatt im Adapter 2 die Mutter 25 schwimmend zu lagern und von außen mit der Schraube 40 zu koppeln, kann im Adapter 2 auch eine Schraube schwimmend gelagert werden und in entsprechender Weise von außen mit einer Mutter gekoppelt werden. Dadurch ändert sich die Funktionsweise des Adapters in keiner Weise. Wesentlich ist lediglich, dass ein schwimmend gelagertes Element vorgesehen ist, welches mit der Zarge, beispielsweise über eine Schraube oder eine Mutter, fest verbunden werden kann, wobei sich die Zarge mit dem schwimmend gelagerten Element auf die Rückseite der Frontblende 1 zubewegt, wenn die Schrägfläche des schwimmend gelagerten Elements auf der Auflaufschräge des Adapters aufläuft. Die Verwendung einer schwimmend gelagerten Mutter und einer Schraube, insbesondere Senkkopfschraube, ist jedoch besonders einfach und entsprechend preiswert und benötigt wenig Raum.Instead of the mother floating in the
