Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schubladenunterteiler zur nachträglichen Montage zwischen zwei Schubladenwänden, mit einer Trennwand, die an mindestens einem ihrer beiden Enden eine stirnseitige Öffnung aufweist, und mit mindestens einem federnden Klemmstück, das einen Steckabschnitt, welcher in die stirnseitige Öffnung der Trennwand eingesteckt ist und mit einem Anschlag außen an der Stirnseite der Trennwand anliegt, und einen Anlageabschnitt zur Anlage an einer Schubladenwand aufweist, wobei der Anlageabschnitt in Richtung auf den Steckabschnitt gegen die Rückstellkraft eines Federelements des Klemmstücks bewegbar ist, das durch mindestens einen Federsteg gebildet ist, welcher zusammen mit dem Steckabschnitt und dem Anlageabschnitt als einteiliges Kunststoffteil ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a drawer divider for retrofitting between two drawer walls, with a partition wall having at least one of its two ends an end-side opening, and with at least one resilient clamping piece, which is a plug-in portion which is inserted into the frontal opening of the partition and with abuts a stop on the outside of the end face of the partition wall, and has a contact portion for abutment with a drawer wall, wherein the abutment portion in the direction of the plug portion against the restoring force of a spring element of the clamping piece is movable, which is formed by at least one spring bar, which together with the Plug portion and the contact portion is formed as a one-piece plastic part.

Ein derartiger Schubladenunterteiler ist beispielsweise durch JP 2004 089255 A bekannt geworden.Such a drawer divider is for example by JP 2004 089255 A known.

Schubladenunterteiler zur variablen Aufteilung des Innenraums einer Schublade sind seit langer Zeit bekannt. Beispielsweise ist aus DE 199 44 641 A1 ein starrer Schubladenunterteiler bekannt geworden, der sich anhand schräger Stirnseiten zwischen den Seitenwänden einer Schublade verkeilen lässt.Drawer dividers for variable distribution of the interior of a drawer have been known for a long time. For example, it is off DE 199 44 641 A1 a rigid drawer divider became known, which can be wedged by oblique end faces between the side walls of a drawer.

Weiterhin ist aus DE 20 2011 051 259 U1 ein Schubladenunterteiler mit einem verschiebbaren Klemmstück bekannt geworden, das eine Anpassung des Schubladenunterteilers an den Abstand der Seitenwände einer Schublade ermöglicht. Eine Verschiebung eines solchen Klemmstücks durch ein Kniegelenk ist aus DE 20 2009 015 649 U1 bekannt geworden. Aus DE 20 2004 001 899 U1 sowie FR 1.283.923 A , WO 01/84980 A1 , US D473,080 S , US 6,991,307 B2 , DE 20 2006 005 686 U1 , US 2,148 681 A und DE 20 2004 005 059 U1 ist es weiterhin bekannt geworden, anstelle eines Kniegelenks ein Federelement zum Pressen eines Anlageabschnitt des Klemmstücks gegen die Seitenwand der Schublade zu verwenden. DE 10 2006 017 578 A1 und JP 2004-89255 A offenbaren ferner, das Federelement in Form von Stegen auszubilden. Schließlich offenbaren DE 199 44 641 A1 und DE 93 01 291 U1 noch Querteiler, die an der Trennwand zur weiteren Unterteilung der Schublade vorgesehen sind.Furthermore, it is off DE 20 2011 051 259 U1 a drawer divider with a sliding clamp has become known, which allows an adjustment of the drawer divider to the distance of the side walls of a drawer. A displacement of such a clamping piece by a knee joint is off DE 20 2009 015 649 U1 known. Out DE 20 2004 001 899 U1 such as FR 1,283,923 A . WO 01/84980 A1 . US D473,080 S . US 6,991,307 B2 . DE 20 2006 005 686 U1 . US 2,148,681 A and DE 20 2004 005 059 U1 it is still known has become, instead of a knee joint to use a spring element for pressing a contact portion of the clamping piece against the side wall of the drawer. DE 10 2006 017 578 A1 and JP 2004-89255 A further disclose to form the spring element in the form of webs. Finally reveal DE 199 44 641 A1 and DE 93 01 291 U1 nor cross-divider, which are provided on the partition for further subdivision of the drawer.

Bei dem aus der eingangs genannten JP 2004 089255 A bekannten Schubladenunterteiler sind am Klemmstück zwei S-förmige Federelemente angeformt, deren freie Federenden jeweils in Richtung fort vom Anlageabschnitt gerichtet sind und sich an einer Innenwand der Trennwand abstützen.In the from the aforementioned JP 2004 089255 A known drawer dividers are formed on the clamping piece two S-shaped spring elements whose free spring ends are directed in the direction away from the contact portion and are supported on an inner wall of the partition.

Aus DE 202 06 779 U1 und DE 203 04 079 U1 sind weiterhin Schubladenunterteiler mit zwei Klemmstücken bekannt, die jeweils aus mehreren separaten Teilen bestehen, nämlich aus einem Steckteil zum Einstecken in eine stirnseitige Öffnung der Trennwand, einem Anlageteil zur Anlage an einer Schubladenwand und mehreren zwischen dem Steck- und dem Anlageteil abgestützten Druckfedern, welche beidseitig auf Zapfen der Steck- und Anlageteile aufgesteckt sind. Die Steck- und Anlageteile sind - mit den Druckfedern dazwischen - unverlierbar ineinander gesteckt, was einen verhältnismäßig hohen Zeit.-und Montageaufwand bedeutet.Out DE 202 06 779 U1 and DE 203 04 079 U1 Schubladenunterteiler continue to be known with two clamping pieces, each consisting of several separate parts, namely a plug-in part for insertion into a frontal opening of the partition, a system part to rest on a drawer wall and a plurality of supported between the plug and the plant part springs, which on both sides are attached to pins of the plug and system parts. The plug and system parts are - with the springs in between - captive inserted into each other, which means a relatively high Zeit.-and assembly costs.

Schließlich ist aus der DE 86 20 558 U1 noch ein Trennschied für Organisationsschubladen bekannt, das jeweils einen an der Unterseite nach unten vorstehenden Arretierungsbolzen an jedem Endbereich der Unterseite zum Eingriff in entsprechende Ausnehmungen an der Bodenfläche der Organisationsschublade und jeweils einen in Längsrichtung des Trennschieds verschiebbaren Rastbolzen an jeder der seitlichen Schmalseiten des Trennschieds zum Eingriff in entsprechende Ausnehmungen an den Seitenwänden der Organisationsschublade aufweist. Der jeweils einer Seite des Trennschieds zugeordnete Arretierungsbolzen und Rastbolzen sind an einem einstückigen Federelement ausgebildet, wobei der Rastbolzen relativ zum Arretierungsbolzen in Längsrichtung des Trennschieds federnd gehalten ist. Der Trennschied weist an einer seiner Schmalseiten eine Öffnung zum Einschieben des Federelements in des Innere des Trennschieds in seine Funktionsstellung auf, und am Federelement und an zumindest einer Wandung des Trennschieds ist jeweils zumindest ein Rastelement zum Verrasten des Federelements in seiner Funktionsstellung ausgebildet.Finally, out of the DE 86 20 558 U1 nor a separation for organizational drawers known, each having a bottom on the bottom protruding locking bolt at each end portion of the bottom for engagement in corresponding recesses on the bottom surface of the organization drawer and each one displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the separating difference locking pin on each of the lateral narrow sides of the separation difference for engagement has in corresponding recesses on the side walls of the organization drawer. Each one side of the separation difference associated locking pin and locking pins are formed on a one-piece spring element, wherein the locking pin is held resiliently relative to the locking pin in the longitudinal direction of the separation difference. The separation difference has on one of its narrow sides an opening for insertion of the spring element in the interior of the separation difference in its functional position, and on the spring element and on at least one wall the separation difference is formed in each case at least one locking element for locking the spring element in its functional position.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schubladenunterteiler der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass er einfacher und kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann.The invention is therefore the object of developing a drawer divider of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be made easier and cheaper.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der mindestens eine Federsteg innerhalb einer zum Anlageabschnitt offenen Aussparung des Steckabschnitts angeordnet ist..This object is achieved in that the at least one spring bar is disposed within a recess open to the contact portion of the plug-in section.

Bevorzugt ist der mindestens eine Federsteg bogenförmig ausgebildet, wodurch die beiden Bogenenden federnd aufeinander zu bewegbar sind. Alternativ kann der Federsteg beispielsweise auch zickzackförmig oder doppelzickzackförmig (scherenförmig) ausgebildet sein.Preferably, the at least one spring bar is arc-shaped, whereby the two bow ends are resiliently movable towards each other. Alternatively, the spring bar, for example, also zigzag or doppelzickzackförmig (scissor-shaped) may be formed.

Vorzugsweise ist nicht nur an einem, sondern an beiden stirnseitigen Enden der Trennwand jeweils ein federndes Klemmstück angeordnet, um so einen größeren Feder- bzw. Klemmweg des Schubladenunterteilers zu ermöglichen.Preferably, not only at one, but at both front ends of the partition wall each a resilient clamping piece is arranged so as to allow a larger spring or clamping path of the drawer divider.

In besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Trennwand durch ein Hohlprofil gebildet. Die stirnseitige Öffnung ist hierbei durchgehend an der Trennwand ausgebildet. Dies ermöglicht eine kostengünstige Fertigung der Trennwand, die vorzugsweise von einem Endlos-Metallprofil, wie z.B. einem Endlos-Aluminiumprofil, abgelängt ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the partition wall is formed by a hollow profile. The frontal opening is in this case formed continuously on the partition wall. This allows a cost-effective manufacture of the partition, which is preferably of an endless metal profile, such. an endless aluminum profile, cut to length.

Die Trennwand kann ferner auf mindestens einer ihrer beiden Wandseiten zumindest eine Längsnut aufweisen, in der ein Querteilerklemmstück querverschiebbar und feststellbar angeordnet werden kann. Durch eine am Querteilerklemmstück schon angeformte Querteilertrennwand oder durch eine daran befestigte separate Querteilertrennwand kann die Schublade dabei auf flexible Art und Weise weiter unterteilt werden.The partition may further comprise at least one of its two sides of the wall at least one longitudinal groove in which a Querteilerklemmstück can be arranged transversely displaceable and lockable. By a Querteilerklemmstück already integrally formed Querteilentrennwand or by a separate Querteilentrennwand attached thereto, the drawer can be further divided in a flexible manner.

Mit der Erfindung ergeben sich insbesondere folgende weitere Vorteile:

  • die Einführbarkeit des Steckabschnitts in die stirnseitige Öffnung der Trennwand ermöglicht eine sehr kompakte und stabile Ausbildung des Schubladenunterteilers;
  • die Einführbarkeit des Steckabschnitts ermöglicht ferner eine lange Ausbildung der Trennwand bei sehr kurzem Klemmstück, wodurch der Schubladenunterteiler optisch vorteilhaft als Trennwand mit als Endkappe ausgebildetem Klemmstück erscheint;
  • die leichte Austauschbarkeit der Trennwand ermöglicht eine einfache Anpassung des Schubladenunterteilers an verschieden dimensionierte Schubladen.
The invention provides the following further advantages in particular:
  • the insertability of the plug-in section in the front opening of the partition wall allows a very compact and stable design of the drawer divider;
  • the insertability of the plug-in section also allows a long design of the partition with a very short clamping piece, whereby the drawer divider appears optically as a partition with trained as an end cap clamping piece;
  • The easy interchangeability of the partition allows easy adjustment of the drawer divider to different sized drawers.

Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstands der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und der Zeichnung. Ebenso können die vorstehend genannten und die noch weiter aufgeführten Merkmale je für sich oder zu mehreren in beliebigen Kombinationen Verwendung finden. Die gezeigten und beschriebenen Ausführungsformen sind nicht als abschließende Aufzählung zu verstehen, sondern haben vielmehr beispielhaften Charakter für die Schilderung der Erfindung.Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the subject invention will become apparent from the description, the claims and the drawings. Likewise, the features mentioned above and the features listed further can be used individually or in combination in any combination. The embodiments shown and described are not to be understood as exhaustive enumeration, but rather have exemplary character for the description of the invention.

The two spring webs 19 extend within the recess 20 and are formed as mutually facing spring arcs, which are connected on the one hand with the vertical edge web 23 of the U-shaped plug frame and on the other hand with the contact portion 18.

Der kappenförmige Anlageabschnitt 18 umgreift die Trennwand 11 stirnseitig von außen und trägt, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, auf seiner der Schubladenwand zugewandten Seite ein aufgestecktes Anlageelement 24 aus Gummi (oder aus einem anderen flexiblen Material) zur rutschfesten Anlage an der Schubladenwand. Am Anlageabschnitt 18 stehen innenseitig zu beiden Seiten des Steckabschnitts 17 Führungsstifte 25 vor, mit denen der Anlageabschnitt 18 in stirnseitigen Öffnungen 26 der Trennwand 11 verschiebbar geführt ist.The cap-shaped abutment portion 18 surrounds the partition wall 11 frontally from the outside and carries, as in Fig. 2 shown on its side facing the drawer wall an attached contact element 24 made of rubber (or other flexible material) for non-slip contact with the drawer wall. At the contact portion 18 are on the inside on both sides of the plug-in portion 17 guide pins 25 , with which the abutment portion 18 in the frontal openings 26 of the partition 11 is slidably guided.

Der Schubladenunterteiler 10 wird zwischen zwei Schubladenwänden30 klemmend eingesetzt, wobei die Länge des noch nicht eingesetzten Schubladenunterteilers 10 um einige Millimeter größer als der Abstand der Schubladenwände ist. Beim Einsetzen des Schubladenunterteilers 10 zwischen die Schubladenwänden werden dann die beiden Anlageabschnitte 18 jeweils nach innen, nämlich jeweils in Richtung auf ihren an der Trennwand 11 stirnseitig festgelegten Steckabschnitte 17, gegen die Rückstellkraft der Federstege 19 aufeinander zu verschoben, wodurch der Schubladenunterteiler 10 zwischen den beiden Schubladenwänden 30 klemmend festgelegt ist. Die beiden Klemmstücke 12 weisen jeweils am Anlageabschnitt 18 noch einen beidseitigen Fußteil 27 auf, um ein seitliches Verkippen des eingesetzten Schubladenunterteilers 10 in der Schublade zu verhindern.The drawer divider 10 is inserted by clamping between two drawer walls 30, wherein the length of the not yet inserted drawer divider 10 is larger by a few millimeters than the distance of the drawer walls. When inserting the drawer divider 10 between the drawer walls then the two abutment portions 18 are respectively inwardly, namely in each case toward their on the partition 11 fixed end plug portions 17, against the restoring force of the spring bars 19 moved toward each other, whereby the drawer divider 10 between the two Drawer walls 30 is fixed by clamping. The two clamping pieces 12 each have on the contact section 18 on a two-sided foot part 27 in order to prevent lateral tilting of the inserted drawer divider 10 in the drawer.

In Fign. 4a, 4b ist der zwischen zwei Schubladenwänden 30 klemmend festgelegte Schubladenunterteiler 10 gezeigt. Im hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Schubladenwände 30 durch die Innenseite einer Schubladenzarge 31 gebildet.In FIGS. 4a, 4b is shown between two drawer walls 30 clamping defined drawer divider 10. In the embodiment shown here are the drawer walls 30 formed by the inside of a drawer 31 .

Wie in Fign. 1 bis 4 gezeigt, weist die Trennwand 11 auf ihren beiden Wandseiten zwei parallele hinterschnittene Längsnuten 28 auf, in denen die Querteilerklemmstücke 13a-13c querverschiebbar und feststellbar befestigt sind. Die Befestigung der Querteilerklemmstücke in den Längsnuten 28 wird nachfolgend am Beispiel des Querteilerklemmstücks 13a erläutert.As in FIGS. 1 to 4 shown, the partition 11 has on its two sides of the wall two parallel undercut longitudinal grooves 28 in which the cross-clamping pieces 13a-13c are mounted transversely displaceable and lockable. The attachment of the cross-piece clamping pieces in the longitudinal grooves 28 will be explained below using the example of the cross-piece clamping piece 13a.

Wie in Fign. 5a, 5b gezeigt, ist das Querteilerklemmstück 13a in Form eines einteiligen Kunststoffteils ausgebildet. Auf der in Fig. 5a gezeigten Steckseite weist das Querteilerklemmstück 13a einen zentralen Steckvorsprung 40 zum Aufstecken der Querteilertrennwand 14 sowie zu beiden Seiten des Steckvorsprungs 40 jeweils Auflage- und Rastvorsprünge 41, 42 auf, welche die aufgesteckte Querteilertrennwand 14 am Querteilerklemmstück 13a sichern. Auf der in Fig. 5b gezeigten Anlageseite weist das Querteilerklemmstück 13a zwei untere Haken 43 und einen oberen Haken 44 auf, mit denen das Querteilerklemmstück 13a in die untere bzw. in die obere hinterschnittene Längsnut 28 der Trennwand 11 eingehängt wird. Zur Aushängesicherung und zur seitlichen Lagesicherung weist das Querteilerklemmstück 13a auf seiner Anlageseite zwei Sicherungsvorsprünge 45 auf, die zu beiden Seiten des oberen Hakens 44 angeordnet sind und ebenfalls in die obere Längsnut 28 der Trennwand 11 passgenau bzw. klemmend eingreifen. Dadurch werden sowohl das Hochschieben bzw. Aushängen des eingehängten Querteilerklemmstücks 13a verhindert als auch das seitliche Verschieben des Querteilerklemmstücks 13a an der Trennwand 11 erschwert. Die beiden Sicherungsvorsprünge 45 sind an einem bügelförmigen Schwenkarm 46 angeformt, der aus der in Fign. 5a, 5b gezeigten, an der Trennwand 11 anliegenden Sicherungsstellung in Pfeilrichtung 47, also in Richtung fort von der Trennwand 11, in eine Freigabestellung (nicht gezeigt) manuell verschwenkbar ist. In dieser Freigabestellung greifen die Sicherungsvorsprünge 45 nicht in die obere Längsnut 28 der Trennwand 11 ein, so dass das Querteilerklemmstück 13a ein- oder ausgehängt oder das eingehängte Querteilerklemmstück 13a seitlich in den Längsnuten 28 verschoben werden kann. Der Schwenkarm 46 weist außerdem eine Rastnase 48 auf, die in der Freigabestellung eine Oberkante 49 des Steckvorsprungs 40 hintergreift und so den Schwenkarm 46 in seiner Freigabestellung lösbar verrastet.As in FIGS. 5a, 5b shown, the cross-terminal clamping piece 13a is formed in the form of a one-piece plastic part. On the in Fig. 5a shown mating side, the cross-terminal clamping piece 13a has a central plug projection 40 for attaching the Querteilentrennwand 14 and on both sides of the plug projection 40 each support and latching projections 41, 42 , which secure the plugged Querteilentrennwand 14 on Querteilerklemmstück 13a. On the in Fig. 5b shown contact side, the cross-clamping piece 13a has two lower hooks 43 and an upper hook 44 , with which the cross-clamping piece 13a is suspended in the lower or in the upper undercut longitudinal groove 28 of the partition 11. To Aushängegesicherung and lateral securing position, the cross-clamping piece 13a on its investment side two securing projections 45 which are arranged on both sides of the upper hook 44 and also in the upper longitudinal groove 28 of the partition 11 fit accurately or clampingly. As a result, both the pushing up or unhooking of the hinged cross-clamping piece 13a are prevented and the lateral displacement of the cross-piece clamping piece 13a on the partition wall 11 is made more difficult. The two securing projections 45 are integrally formed on a bow-shaped pivot arm 46 , which consists of the in FIGS. 5a, 5b shown, applied to the partition 11 securing position in the direction of arrow 47, ie in the direction away from the partition wall 11, in a release position (not shown) is manually pivotable. In this release position, the securing projections 45 do not engage in the upper longitudinal groove 28 of the partition wall 11, so that the cross-clamping piece 13a on or unhooked or the hinged cross-clamping piece 13a can be moved laterally in the longitudinal grooves 28. The pivot arm 46 also has a latching nose 48 , which engages in the release position, an upper edge 49 of the male projection 40 and so releasably locked the pivot arm 46 in its release position.
