Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung mit einem Befestigungssystem für einen Unterschrank eines Sanitärartikels, insbesondere eines Waschtisches, und einer Vorwand nach Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to an arrangement with a fastening system for a base unit of a sanitary article, in particular a washstand, and a front wall according to claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus der DE 296 06 364 U1 ist ein Schienen-Baueinheit-System bekannt geworden, welches die Befestigung von Möbeln an einer Wandstruktur erlaubt. Das System umfasst eine Schiene, an welcher Möbelteile einhängbar sind. Die Schiene erstreckt sich dabei über die gesamte Länge eines Waschtisches und die verschiedenen Elemente sind entsprechend an die Schiene einhängbar.From the DE 296 06 364 U1 a rail assembly system has become known which allows furniture to be attached to a wall structure. The system comprises a rail on which furniture parts can be hung. The rail extends over the entire length of a washstand and the various elements can be hung on the rail accordingly.

Aktuelle Trends zeigen, dass die Waschtische oder Lavabos in ihrer Baugrösse immer schlanker werden, wobei die Schiene nach der DE 296 06 364 U1 den mit den schlanker werdenden Waschtischen bzw. Lavabos einhergehenden Anforderungen nicht immer gerecht werden können. Das heisst, dass die mögliche Raumausnützung bei Ausführungen nach der DE 296 06 364 U1 den zur Verfügung stehenden Raum nicht optimal nutzen. Darüber hinaus ergeht aus der DE 296 06 364 U1 der Nachteil, dass die Krafteinleitung in die Schiene nicht optimal ist.Current trends show that the washstands or lavabos are getting slimmer in their construction size, with the rail after the DE 296 06 364 U1 cannot always meet the requirements associated with the slimmer washstands or lavabos. This means that the possible use of space with designs according to the DE 296 06 364 U1 not making optimal use of the available space. In addition, the DE 296 06 364 U1 the disadvantage that the introduction of force into the rail is not optimal.

Ein Befestigungssystem für einen Unterschrank ist in DE 20 2009 000241 U1 offenbart.A mounting system for a base cabinet is in DE 20 2009 000241 U1 disclosed.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung für einen Unterschrank eines Waschtisches anzugeben, welcher die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet. Insbesondere soll ein Befestigungssystem angeben werden, welches einfach zu montieren ist und Raum für verschiedene Funktionalitäten lässt.Proceeding from this prior art, the invention is based on an object of specifying an arrangement for a base unit of a washstand which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a fastening system is to be specified which is easy to assemble and has room for various functionalities leaves.

Diese Aufgabe löst eine Anordnung umfassend Befestigungssystem für einen Unterschrank eines Sanitärartikels, insbesondere eines Waschtisches, und eine Vorwand nach Anspruch 1. Demgemäss weist ein Befestigungssystem für einen Unterschrank eines Sanitärartikels, insbesondere eines Waschtisches, eine ortsfest angeordnete Lagerstruktur mit mindestens einem an der Lagerstruktur positionsfest angeordnetem und von der Lagerstruktur abstehendem Befestigungselement, ein sich entlang einer Profilachse erstreckendes Befestigungsprofil mit mindestens einer Aufnahmestelle, insbesondere einer Aufnahmeöffnung, zur Aufnahme des Befestigungselementes für die Befestigung des Befestigungsprofils an der Lagerstruktur und mit mindestens zwei beabstandet zueinander liegenden Befestigungslaschen, und mindestens zwei Verbindungselemente, welche mit dem zu befestigenden Unterschrank in fester Verbindung stehen und welche mit den Befestigungslaschen des Befestigungsprofils zwecks Lagerung des Unterschrankes verbindbar sind. Die Befestigungslaschen sind ausschliesslich in den jeweiligen Endbereichen des Befestigungsprofils angeordnet. Die Lagerstruktur ist hinter der Vorwand angeordnet und das mindestens eine Befestigungselement durchdringt die Vorwand, derart, dass das Befestigungsprofil vor der Vorwand zum Befestigungselement befestigbar ist.This object is achieved by an arrangement comprising a fastening system for a base cabinet of a sanitary article, in particular a washstand, and a front wall according to claim 1. Accordingly, a fastening system for a base cabinet of a sanitary article, in particular a washstand, has a stationary storage structure with at least one fixedly disposed on the bearing structure and a fastening element protruding from the bearing structure, a fastening profile extending along a profile axis with at least one receiving point, in particular a receiving opening, for receiving the fastening element for fastening the fastening profile to the bearing structure and with at least two spaced apart fastening straps, and at least two connecting elements which are firmly connected to the base cabinet to be attached and which ver with the fastening tabs of the mounting profile for the purpose of storage of the base cabinet are bindable. The fastening straps are arranged exclusively in the respective end regions of the fastening profile. The bearing structure is arranged behind the front wall and the at least one fastening element penetrates the front wall in such a way that the fastening profile can be fastened in front of the front wall to the fastening element.

Das heisst, die Befestigungslaschen liegen im Bereich der freien Enden des Befestigungsprofils, derart, dass der Abstand zwischen den Befestigungslaschen so gross wie möglich ist. Hierdurch kann der zur Verfügung stehende Raum bestmöglichst genützt werden und weiter wird die Abstützung des Unterschrankes verbessert.This means that the fastening tabs are in the area of the free ends of the fastening profile in such a way that the distance between the fastening tabs is as large as possible. As a result, the available space can be used in the best possible way and the support of the base cabinet is further improved.

Die Ausdrucksweise "ausschliesslich im Endbereich" ist hier so zu verstehen, dass der Bereich des Befestigungsprofils zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen keine Elemente aufweist, an welcher eine Befestigung des Unterschrankes möglich wäre. Vielmehr dient der Bereich zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen im Wesentlichen der Bereitstellung einer Verbindung zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen, welche Verbindung derart ausgebildet ist, dass die beiden Befestigungslaschen in determiniertet Distanz gehalten werden. Der Bereich zwischen den Befestigungslaschen kann insbesondere so ausgebildet sein, dass keine Kraft vom Unterschrank übertragen werden muss.The expression "exclusively in the end area" is to be understood here in such a way that the area of the fastening profile between the two fastening tabs does not have any elements to which the base unit could be fastened. Rather, the area between the two fastening tabs essentially serves to provide a connection between the two fastening tabs, which connection is designed in such a way that the two fastening tabs are kept at a determined distance. The area between the fastening tabs can in particular be designed in such a way that no force has to be transmitted from the base cabinet.

Vorzugsweise ist mindestens je eine Aufnahmestelle, insbesondere eine Aufnahmeöffnung, in jeder der Befestigungslaschen angeordnet ist, derart, dass die Aufnahmestellen ebenfalls ausschliesslich in den jeweiligen Endbereichen des Befestigungsprofils angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung verbessert die Verbindung zwischen dem Befestigungselement und der Profilschiene bzw. die Abstützung an der Lagerstruktur. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Befestigungsstelle zur Lagerstruktur nahe an der Befestigungslasche für den Unterschrank ist, was für die Krafteinleitung von der Befestigungslasche in die Lagerstruktur vorteilhaft ist.At least one receiving point, in particular one receiving opening, is preferably arranged in each of the fastening tabs in such a way that the receiving points are also arranged exclusively in the respective end regions of the fastening profile. This arrangement improves the connection between the fastening element and the profile rail or the support on the bearing structure. Another advantage is that the fastening point to the bearing structure is close to the fastening tab for the base cabinet, which is advantageous for the introduction of force from the fastening tab into the bearing structure.

Vorzugsweise erstrecken sich die Befestigungslaschen vom freien Ende des Befestigungsprofils in Richtung der Profilachse gesehen über eine Länge von maximal bis 75 Millimeter oder maximal bis 100 Millimeter. Eine typische Minimallänge eines Befestigungsprofils ist typischerweise 800 Millimeter. Das heisst, die Endbereiche sind in ihrer Länge wesentlich kleiner als die Gesamtlänge des Befestigungsprofils.The fastening tabs preferably extend from the free end of the fastening profile in the direction of the profile axis over a length of a maximum of 75 millimeters or a maximum of 100 millimeters. A typical minimum length of a fastening profile is typically 800 millimeters. This means that the length of the end areas is much smaller than the total length of the fastening profile.

Vorzugsweise weist das Befestigungsprofil zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen einen verjüngten Querschnitt auf, wobei die Befestigungslaschen ausserhalb des verjüngten Querschnittes angeordnet sind.The fastening profile between the two fastening tabs preferably has a tapered cross section, the fastening tabs being arranged outside the tapered cross section.

Der verjüngte Querschnitt hat den Vorteil, dass das Befestigungsprofil zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen schlanker ausgebildet werden kann, was einerseits Raum zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen schafft und andererseits die beiden Befestigungslaschen in bestimmter Distanz zueinander hält. Letzteres hat einen Vorteil bei der Montage des Befestigungsprofils, weil nur das Befestigungsprofil angeordnet werden muss und eine Ausrichtung zwischen den Befestigungslaschen entfällt. Das System ist weniger anfällig bezüglich Falschmontagen.The tapered cross section has the advantage that the fastening profile between the two fastening tabs can be made slimmer, which on the one hand creates space between the two fastening tabs and on the other hand keeps the two fastening tabs at a certain distance from one another. The latter has an advantage when assembling the fastening profile because only the fastening profile has to be arranged and there is no alignment between the fastening tabs. The system is less prone to incorrect assembly.

Unter der Ausdrucksweise "verjüngter Querschnitt" wird verstanden, dass der Querschnitt des Befestigungsprofils im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnittes kleiner ist als an anderen Stellen des Befestigungsprofils. Der verbleibende Teil des Befestigungsprofils verbindet die beiden Befestigungslaschen.The expression “tapered cross section” means that the cross section of the fastening profile is smaller in the area of the tapered cross section than at other points on the fastening profile. The remaining part of the fastening profile connects the two fastening straps.

Der verjüngte Querschnitt erstreckt sich von vorne her gesehen vollständig durch das Befestigungsprofil hindurch, so dass eine Lücke entsteht. Der verjüngte Querschnitt ist also derart ausgebildet, dass das Befestigungsprofil im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnitts Raum für andere Funktionselemente schafft.Seen from the front, the tapered cross section extends completely through the fastening profile, so that a gap is created. The tapered cross section is thus designed in such a way that the fastening profile creates space for other functional elements in the area of the tapered cross section.

Das Befestigungselement ist vorzugsweise eine Gewindestange oder eine Schraube. Die Lagerstruktur ist vorzugswiese ein Montagerahmen, welcher typischerweise hinter einer Vorwand fest mit dem Gehäuse verankert wird und somit ortsfest angeordnet ist. Der Montagerahmen weist dabei Lagerstellen für das Befestigungselement auf. Das Befestigungselement ragt in Einbaulage von der Vorwand weg, wobei das Befestigungselement dann mit der Aufnahmestelle am Befestigungsprofil verbunden wird.The fastening element is preferably a threaded rod or a screw. The bearing structure is preferably a mounting frame, which is typically anchored firmly to the housing behind a front wall and is thus arranged in a stationary manner. The mounting frame has bearing points for the fastening element. In the installed position, the fastening element protrudes away from the front wall, the fastening element then being connected to the receiving point on the fastening profile.

Die Zahl der Befestigungslaschen ist vorzugsweise gleich zur Zahl der Verbindungselemente.The number of fastening tabs is preferably equal to the number of connecting elements.

Vorzugsweise weist der verjüngte Querschnitt eine Querschnittsfläche quer zur Profilachse auf, welche um 75 bis 95%, insbesondere um 80% bis 90%, einer Referenzquerschnittsfläche des Befestigungsprofils verjüngt ist. Das heisst, im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnittes wird der Querschnitt des Befestigungsprofils wesentlich verkleinert. Die wesentliche Verkleinerung hat den Vorteil, dass entsprechender Raum für die Durchführung von Funktionselementen geschaffen werden kann. Die Schwächung des Querschnittes beeinträchtigt die Funktion des Befestigungsprofils nicht, weil der Bereich des Befestigungsprofils zwischen den Befestigungslaschen im Wesentlichen dazu dient, die beiden Befestigungslaschen zusammen und in einem entsprechenden Abstand zu halten.The tapered cross-section preferably has a cross-sectional area transverse to the profile axis, which is tapered by 75 to 95%, in particular by 80% to 90%, of a reference cross-sectional area of the fastening profile. This means that the cross section of the fastening profile is significantly reduced in the area of the tapered cross section. The substantial reduction in size has the advantage that appropriate space can be created for the implementation of functional elements. The weakening of the cross section does not impair the function of the fastening profile, because the area of the fastening profile between the fastening tabs essentially serves to hold the two fastening tabs together and at a corresponding distance.

Die Referenzquerschnittsfläche bestimmt sich vorzugsweise durch eine maximale Querschnittsfläche des Profils.The reference cross-sectional area is preferably determined by a maximum cross-sectional area of the profile.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der verjüngte Querschnitt über mindestens einen Viertel bis maximal drei Viertel der Gesamtlänge des Befestigungsprofils in Richtung der Profilachse gesehen.The tapered cross section preferably extends over at least a quarter to a maximum of three quarters of the total length of the fastening profile viewed in the direction of the profile axis.

Vorzugsweise wird der verjüngte Querschnitt durch einen Einschnitt bzw. einen Ausschnitt bzw. eine Aussparung in das Befestigungsprofil bereitgestellt, welcher Einschnitt bzw. Ausschnitt oder Aussparung sich von einer Unterkante des Befestigungsprofils in das Befestigungsprofil hinein erstreckt. Der Einschnitt bzw. der Ausschnitt erstreckt sich dabei von der Unterkante quer zur Profilachse in das Befestigungsprofil hinein.The tapered cross section is preferably provided by an incision or a cutout or a recess in the fastening profile, which incision or cutout or recess extends from a lower edge of the fastening profile into the fastening profile. The incision or the cutout extends from the lower edge transversely to the profile axis into the fastening profile.

Der Einschnitt ist demnach nach unten hin offen ausgebildet und wird seitlich sowie nach oben hin durch das Befestigungsprofil begrenzt.The incision is accordingly designed to be open at the bottom and is limited laterally and at the top by the fastening profile.

Vorzugsweise ist der Einschnitt quer zur Profilachse gesehen rechteckig oder rechteckig mit gerundeten Ecken oder trapezförmig ausgebildet. Andere Formen sind auch denkbar.The incision is preferably rectangular or rectangular with rounded corners or trapezoidal, seen transversely to the profile axis. Other shapes are also conceivable.

Vorzugsweise weist das Befestigungsprofil einen Basisabschnitt und mindestens einen vom Basisabschnitt wegstehenden Stegabschnitt auf. Der Stegabschnitt erstreckt sich vorzugsweise von einer Seitenkante des Basisabschnittes vom Befestigungsprofil weg. Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der Stegabschnitt im Querschnitt gesehen im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig vom Basisabschnitt weg.The fastening profile preferably has a base section and at least one web section projecting away from the base section. The web section preferably extends from a side edge of the base section away from the fastening profile. The web section, viewed in cross section, preferably extends away from the base section essentially at right angles.

Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei diesem Befestigungsprofil um ein L-Profil, wobei der lange Schenkel des L den Basisabschnitt bereitstellt und wobei der kurze Schenkel des L den Stegabschnitt bereitstellt.This fastening profile is preferably an L-profile, the long leg of the L providing the base section and the short leg of the L providing the web section.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind zwei Stegabschnitte angeordnet, welche sich von gegenüberliegenden Seitenkanten vom Basisabschnitt wegerstrecken. Bei dieser besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform handelt es sich um ein U-Profil.In a particularly preferred embodiment, two web sections are arranged which extend away from the base section from opposite side edges. This particularly preferred embodiment is a U-profile.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der verjüngte Querschnitt im Wesentlichen vollständig durch den Basisabschnitt hindurch, so dass im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnittes im Wesentlichen ausschliesslich der Stegabschnitt bzw. einer der Stegabschnitte vorhanden ist. Das heisst, der Basisabschnitt wird vollständig durch den Einschnitt durchdrungen, so dass der Basisabschnitt im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnittes nicht mehr vorhanden ist.The tapered cross section preferably extends essentially completely through the base section, so that in the region of the tapered cross section essentially only the web section or one of the web sections is present. This means that the base section is completely penetrated by the incision, so that the base section is no longer present in the area of the tapered cross section.

Wie oben erläutert sind die Befestigungslaschen an den Endbereichen des Befestigungsprofils ausserhalb des verjüngten Querschnittes angeordnet. Die Befestigungslaschen liegen also an den freien Enden des Befestigungsprofils und der verjüngte Querschnitt liegt zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen. Die Befestigungslaschen sind vorzugsweise einstückig bzw. integral am Befestigungsprofil angeformt.As explained above, the fastening tabs are at the end areas of the Fastening profile arranged outside the tapered cross section. The fastening tabs are therefore at the free ends of the fastening profile and the tapered cross section lies between the two fastening tabs. The fastening tabs are preferably formed in one piece or integrally on the fastening profile.

In einer ersten Variante erstrecken sich die Befestigungslaschen vom Befestigungsprofil, insbesondere nach oben hin, weg. Die Befestigungslaschen erstrecken sich dabei vom Befestigungsprofil quer zum Befestigungsprofil auf der dem Einschnitt gegenüberliegenden Seite weg. Das heisst, die Befestigungslaschen erstrecken sich vom Basisabschnitt des Profils nach oben hin weg.In a first variant, the fastening tabs extend away from the fastening profile, in particular upwards. The fastening tabs extend away from the fastening profile transversely to the fastening profile on the side opposite the incision. This means that the fastening tabs extend upwards from the base section of the profile.

In einer zweiten Variante werden die Befestigungslaschen durch das Befestigungsprofil bereitgestellt. Das heisst, dass die Befestigungslaschen durch den Basisabschnitt bereitgestellt werden Die Befestigungslaschen sind jedoch ausschließlich in den jeweiligen Endbereichen des Befestigungsprofils angeordnet.In a second variant, the fastening tabs are provided by the fastening profile. This means that the fastening tabs are provided by the base section. However, the fastening tabs are arranged exclusively in the respective end regions of the fastening profile.

In einer dritten Variante erstreckt sich ein erster Teil der Befestigungslaschen vom Befestigungsprofil, insbesondere nach oben hin, weg und ein zweiter Teil der Befestigungslaschen wird durch das Befestigungsprofil bereitgestellt.In a third variant, a first part of the fastening tabs extends away from the fastening profile, in particular upwards, and a second part of the fastening tabs is provided by the fastening profile.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Befestigungslaschen je einen von der Befestigungslasche abgesetzten bzw. abgekröpften Einhängbereich auf, in welchen das Verbindungselement einhängbar ist.The fastening tabs preferably each have a hanging area which is offset from or cranked from the fastening tab and in which the connecting element can be suspended.

Vorzugsweise weist der Einhängbereich eine innere Anschlagskante auf, an welcher das Verbindungselement bezüglich einer Bewegung in Richtung der Profilachse ansteht. Alternativ oder zusätzlich weist der Einhängbereich eine äussere Anschlagskante auf, an welcher das Verbindungselement bezüglich einer Bewegung in Richtung der Profilachse ansteht. Über die innere und/oder die äussere Anschlagskante und dem Anschlagen des Verbindungselementes daran ergeht der Vorteil, dass eine Relativbewegung zwischen den Verbindungselementen und dem Einhängbereich blockiert ist.The suspension area preferably has an inner stop edge on which the connecting element rests with respect to a movement in the direction of the profile axis. As an alternative or in addition, the suspension area has an outer stop edge on which the connecting element rests with respect to a movement in the direction of the profile axis. About the inner and / or the outer stop edge and the stop of the connecting element there is the advantage that a relative movement between the connecting elements and the hanging area is blocked.

Vorzugsweise ist der Einhängbereich in Einbaulage gesehen, nach oben hin offen ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch können die Verbindungselemente besonders einfach in die Einhängbereiche eingehängt werden.The hanging area is preferably open at the top, viewed in the installed position is trained. As a result, the connecting elements can be hooked into the hanging areas in a particularly simple manner.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Verbindungselemente Einstellelemente aufweisen, so dass der Unterschrank, vorzugsweise im Sinne einer Feineinstellung, ausrichtbar ist. Die Einstellelemente dienen also im Wesentlichen der Justage der Lage des Unterschrankes bezüglich des Befestigungsprofils.The connecting elements preferably have adjustment elements so that the base cabinet can be aligned, preferably in the sense of a fine adjustment. The setting elements are therefore essentially used to adjust the position of the base cabinet with respect to the fastening profile.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In den Figuren wird ein Befestigungssystem 1 für einen Unterschrank 2 eines Sanitärartikels, insbesondere eines Waschtisches, gemäss einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung gezeigt.The figures show a fastening system 1 for a base cabinet 2 of a sanitary article, in particular a washstand, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Das Befestigungssystem 1 umfasst im Wesentlichen eine ortsfest angeordnete Lagerstruktur 2, ein Befestigungsprofil 3 und mindestens zwei Verbindungselemente 5, welche mit dem zu befestigenden Unterschrank 2 in fester Verbindung stehen und welche mit dem Befestigungsprofil 2 zwecks Lagerung des Unterschrankes 2 verbindbar sind.The fastening system 1 essentially comprises a stationary bearing structure 2, a fastening profile 3 and at least two connecting elements 5 which are firmly connected to the base cabinet 2 to be fastened and which can be connected to the fastening profile 2 for the purpose of supporting the base cabinet 2.

In der Figur 1 wird die Lagerstruktur 29 in der Form eines Tragrahmens gezeigt. Die Lagerstruktur 29 wird ortsfest angeordnet, beispielsweise mit einem Gebäudeboden oder einer Gebäudewand fest verbunden. Von der Lagerstruktur 29 steht mindestens ein Befestigungselement 7 ab. Der Tragrahmen weist hier Vertikalstützen 32 auf, welche in der Vertikalen verlaufen. Von den Vertikalstützen 32 steht seitlich je einen Querträger 33 ab, von welcher dann je ein Befestigungselement 7 absteht. Die Lagerstruktur 29 kann aber auch anders ausgebildet sein.In the Figure 1 the bearing structure 29 is shown in the form of a support frame. The bearing structure 29 is arranged in a stationary manner, for example firmly connected to a building floor or a building wall. At least one fastening element 7 protrudes from the bearing structure 29. The support frame here has vertical supports 32 which run in the vertical. From each of the vertical supports 32 a transverse support 33 protrudes from the side, from which a fastening element 7 then protrudes. The bearing structure 29 can, however, also be designed differently.

In der Figur 2 und 3 wird das Befestigungssystem 1 im unmontierten Zustand gezeigt und in der Figur 4 wird das Befestigungssystem 1 im montierten Zustand gezeigt. Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen Details des Befestigungssystems.In the Figure 2 and 3rd the fastening system 1 is shown in the unassembled state and in the Figure 4 the fastening system 1 is shown in the assembled state. The Figures 5 and 6th show details of the fastening system.

Das Befestigungsprofil 3 erstreckt sich entlang einer Profilachse P und weist mindestens zwei beabstandet zueinander liegende Befestigungslaschen 4 für die Aufnahme der Verbindungselemente 5 auf. Die Verbindungselemente 5 stehen mit dem zu befestigenden Unterschrank 2 in fester Verbindung und können mit den Befestigungslaschen 4 verbunden werden, so dass der Unterschrank 2 montiert werden kann. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind die Verbindungselemente 5 an der Innenseite des Unterschrankes 2 an entsprechenden Seitenwänden 23 des Unterschrankes 2 befestigt. Die Befestigungslaschen 4 sind ausschliesslich in den jeweiligen Endbereichen 15 des Befestigungsprofils 3 angeordnet sind. Das heisst, die Befestigungslaschen 4 liegen an den freien Enden 31 des Befestigungsprofils 2.The fastening profile 3 extends along a profile axis P and has at least two fastening tabs 4, which are spaced apart from one another, for receiving the connecting elements 5. The connecting elements 5 are firmly connected to the base cabinet 2 to be fastened and can be connected to the fastening straps 4 so that the base cabinet 2 can be mounted. In the embodiment shown, the connecting elements 5 are attached to the inside of the base cabinet 2 on corresponding side walls 23 of the base cabinet 2. The fastening tabs 4 are arranged exclusively in the respective end regions 15 of the fastening profile 3. That is to say, the fastening tabs 4 lie at the free ends 31 of the fastening profile 2.

Die Befestigungslaschen 4 erstrecken sich vom freien Ende 31 des Befestigungsprofil 3 in Richtung der Profilachse P gesehen über eine Länge L von maximal bis 75 Millimeter oder maximal bis 100 Millimeter. Die Länge L ist in der Figur 5 eingezeichnet.The fastening tabs 4 extend from the free end 31 of the fastening profile 3 in the direction of the profile axis P over a length L of a maximum of 75 millimeters or a maximum of 100 millimeters. The length L is in the Figure 5 drawn.

Das Befestigungsprofil 3 weist weiter mindestens eine Aufnahmestelle, hier in der Form von zwei Aufnahmeöffnungen 6, zur Aufnahme eines Befestigungselementes 7 auf. Das Befestigungselement 7 steht fest mit der Lagerstruktur 29 in Verbindung und dient der Befestigung des Befestigungsprofils 3 an der Lagerstruktur 29. Die Lagerstruktur befindet sich erfindungsgemäß hinter einer Vorwand 20, welche hier strichpunktiert symbolisiert wird.The fastening profile 3 also has at least one receiving point, here in the form of two receiving openings 6, for receiving a fastening element 7. The fastening element 7 is firmly connected to the bearing structure 29 and is used to fasten the fastening profile 3 to the bearing structure 29. According to the invention, the bearing structure is located behind a front wall 20, which is symbolized here by dash-dotted lines.

Mindestens je eine Aufnahmestelle 6, insbesondere eine Aufnahmeöffnung, ist in jeder der Befestigungslaschen 4 angeordnet. Die Anordnung ist dabei derart, dass die Aufnahmestellen 6 ebenfalls ausschliesslich in den jeweiligen Endbereichen 15 des Befestigungsprofils 3 angeordnet sind.At least one receiving point 6, in particular one receiving opening, is arranged in each of the fastening tabs 4. The arrangement is such that the receiving points 6 are also arranged exclusively in the respective end regions 15 of the fastening profile 3.

Das Befestigungsprofil 3 weist zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen 4 einen optionalen verjüngten Querschnitt 8 auf. Das heisst, das Befestigungsprofil 3 ist im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnittes 8 verschlankt ausgebildet und weist somit einen geringeren Querschnitt auf als an anderen Orten. Durch die verjüngte Ausbildung des Befestigungsprofils 3 ergeht der Vorteil, dass das Befestigungsprofil 3 zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen 4 schlanker ausgebildet werden kann, sodass in der Einbausituation mehr Raum für die Anordnung von weiteren Funktionselementen entsteht. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist als Funktionselement beispielsweise eine Revisionsöffnung 21 gezeigt, welche die Vorwand 20 nach hinten hin durchdringt, so dass Zugang zur Lagerstruktur und allenfalls darin gelagerten Elementen geschaffen werden kann. Beispielsweise kann über die Revisionsöffnung 21 Zugang zu einem hinter der Vorwand 20 liegenden Siphon geschaffen werden. Durch den verjüngten Querschnitt 8 kann die Revisionsöffnung 21 grösser ausgebildet werden, was den Zugang entsprechend verbessert.The fastening profile 3 has an optional tapered cross section 8 between the two fastening tabs 4. This means that the fastening profile 3 is designed to be slender in the area of the tapered cross section 8 and thus has a smaller cross section than at other locations. The tapered design of the fastening profile 3 has the advantage that the fastening profile 3 can be made slimmer between the two fastening tabs 4, so that more space is created for the arrangement of further functional elements in the installation situation. In the embodiment shown, an inspection opening 21 is shown as a functional element, for example, which penetrates the front wall 20 towards the rear, so that access to the storage structure and any elements stored therein can be created. For example, access to a siphon located behind the front wall 20 can be created via the inspection opening 21. The tapered cross section 8 the inspection opening 21 can be made larger, which improves access accordingly.

Der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 weist vorzugsweise eine Querschnittsfläche Q8 quer zur Profilachse P auf. Weiter weist das Befestigungsprofil 3 eine Referenzquerschnittsfläche Q3 auf. Die Referenzquerschnittsfläche Q3 befindet sich dort, wo das Profil in der gezeigten Ausführungsform als U-Profil verläuft. Die Referenzquerschnittsfläche Q3 kann sich aber auch durch die maximale Querschnittsfläche des Profils definieren. Die Querschnittsfläche Q8 ist dabei vorzugsweise um 75 bis 95%, insbesondere um 80 bis 90%, gegenüber der Referenzquerschnittsfläche Q3 verjüngt bzw. verkleinert. Das heisst, die Querschnittsfläche des Befestigungsprofils 3 im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnittes 8 ist bezüglich der anderen Bereiche vergleichsweise klein.The tapered cross-section 8 preferably has a cross-sectional area Q8 transverse to the profile axis P. The fastening profile 3 also has a reference cross-sectional area Q3. The reference cross-sectional area Q3 is located where the profile runs as a U-profile in the embodiment shown. The reference cross-sectional area Q3 can, however, also be defined by the maximum cross-sectional area of the profile. The cross-sectional area Q8 is preferably tapered or reduced by 75 to 95%, in particular by 80 to 90%, compared to the reference cross-sectional area Q3. This means that the cross-sectional area of the fastening profile 3 in the area of the tapered cross-section 8 is comparatively small with respect to the other areas.

Der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 erstreckt sich über mindestens einen Viertel bis maximal drei Viertel der Gesamtlänge L des Befestigungsprofils 3 in Richtung der Profilachse P gesehen. Der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 kann also einen wesentlichen Teil der Gesamtlänge L des Befestigungsprofils 3 einnehmen. Der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 ist vorzugsweise mittig zwischen den beiden Befestigungslaschen 4 angeordnet. Das heisst, es wird ein symmetrisches Befestigungsprofil 3 bereitgestellt.The tapered cross-section 8 extends over at least a quarter to a maximum of three quarters of the total length L of the fastening profile 3, viewed in the direction of the profile axis P. The tapered cross section 8 can therefore take up a substantial part of the total length L of the fastening profile 3. The tapered cross section 8 is preferably arranged centrally between the two fastening tabs 4. This means that a symmetrical fastening profile 3 is provided.

Der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 wird durch einen Einschnitt 9 bereitgestellt. Der Einschnitt 9 erstreckt sich von unten her in das Befestigungsprofil 3 hinein. Das heisst, der Einschnitt 9 erstreckt sich von einer Unterkante 10 des Befestigungsprofils 10 in das Befestigungsprofil 3 und durchdringt dieses vollständig. Hierdurch wird der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 geschaffen. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist der Einschnitt 9 quer zur Profilachse P gesehen im Wesentlichen trapezförmig ausgebildet. Das heisst, der Einschnitt 9 weist entsprechend winklig geneigte Seitenkanten 24 auf. Die Seitenkanten 24 sind dabei zur Profilachse P winklig geneigt.The tapered cross section 8 is provided by an incision 9. The incision 9 extends into the fastening profile 3 from below. This means that the incision 9 extends from a lower edge 10 of the fastening profile 10 into the fastening profile 3 and penetrates it completely. This creates the tapered cross section 8. In the embodiment shown, the incision 9 is essentially trapezoidal, viewed transversely to the profile axis P. That is to say, the incision 9 has correspondingly angled side edges 24. The side edges 24 are inclined at an angle to the profile axis P.

Das Befestigungsprofil 3 weist einen Basisabschnitt 11 und mindestens einen vom Basisabschnitt 11 wegstehenden Stegabschnitt 12 auf. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind zwei Stegabschnitte 12 an der oberen und an der unteren Seitenkante 13, 14 angeordnet. Das Befestigungsprofil 3 weist also im Wesentlichen die Gestalt eines U-Profils auf. Das Befestigungsprofil 3 kann aber auch anderweitig ausgebildet sein. Der verjüngte Querschnitt 8 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen vollständig durch den Basisabschnitt 11, sodass im Bereich des verjüngten Querschnitts 8 im Wesentlichen ausschliesslich der obere Stegabschnitt 13 noch vorhanden ist. Die Befestigungslaschen 4 sind an den Endbereichen 15 ausserhalb des verjüngten Abschnittes 8 angeordnet. Die Befestigungslaschen 4 erstrecken sich hier vom Befestigungsprofil 3 nach oben hin, insbesondere über den oberen Stegabschnitt 12, weg.The fastening profile 3 has a base section 11 and at least one web section 12 projecting away from the base section 11. In the embodiment shown, two web sections 12 are arranged on the upper and lower side edges 13, 14. The fastening profile 3 thus essentially has the shape of a U-profile on. The fastening profile 3 can, however, also be designed differently. The tapered cross section 8 extends essentially completely through the base section 11, so that in the region of the tapered cross section 8, essentially only the upper web section 13 is still present. The fastening tabs 4 are arranged on the end regions 15 outside the tapered section 8. The fastening tabs 4 here extend upwards from the fastening profile 3, in particular over the upper web section 12.

Vorzugsweise sind die Befestigungslaschen 4 an den freien Enden des Befestigungsprofils 3 angeordnet und bilden somit auch das Ende des Befestigungsprofils 3. Hierdurch kann ein möglichst grosser Abstand zwischen den Befestigungslaschen 4 geschaffen werden, was für die Stabilität der Montage des Unterschrankes 2 von Vorteil ist.The fastening tabs 4 are preferably arranged at the free ends of the fastening profile 3 and thus also form the end of the fastening profile 3. As a result, the greatest possible distance can be created between the fastening tabs 4, which is advantageous for the stability of the assembly of the base cabinet 2.

In einer alternativen, hier nicht gezeigten Ausführungsform, können die Befestigungslaschen 4 aber auch durch das Befestigungsprofil 3 bereitgestellt werden. Hierbei liegen dann die Befestigungslaschen 4 im Bereich des Basisabschnittes 11 und werden vom selbigen bereitgestellt. Die Befestigungslaschen (4) sind jedoch ausschließlich in den jeweiligen Endbereichen (15) des Befestigungsprofils (3) angeordnet.In an alternative embodiment, not shown here, the fastening tabs 4 can, however, also be provided by the fastening profile 3. The fastening tabs 4 then lie in the area of the base section 11 and are provided by the same. However, the fastening tabs (4) are arranged exclusively in the respective end regions (15) of the fastening profile (3).

In der Figur 4 wird der eingehängte Zustand gezeigt. Hier kann gut erkannt werden, wie die Verbindungselemente 5 in die Befestigungslaschen 4 entsprechend eingreifen. Es handelt sich beim Eingriff um ein Einhängen, das heisst, das Verbindungselement 5 kann in die Befestigungslasche 4 entsprechend eingehängt werden.In the Figure 4 the attached state is shown. It is easy to see here how the connecting elements 5 engage in the fastening tabs 4 accordingly. The engagement involves hooking, that is, the connecting element 5 can be hooked into the fastening tab 4 accordingly.

Die Befestigungslasche 4 weist hierfür je einen von der Befestigungslasche 4 abgesetzten bzw. abgekröpften Einhängbereich 16 auf. Der Einhängbereich 16 kann in der Figur 3 gut erkannt werden. Über diesen abgekröpften Einhängbereich 16 wird ein Zwischenraum Z zwischen der Vorwand 20 und dem Befestigungsprofil 3 geschaffen, derart dass ein entsprechendes Gegenstück des Verbindungselementes 5 in diesen Zwischenraum Z eingreifen kann. Der abgekröpfte Einhängbereich 16 erstreckt sich in der gezeigten Ausführungsform vom Basisabschnitt 11 nach vorne hin. Hierdurch wird der besagte Zwischenraum Z geschaffen.For this purpose, the fastening tab 4 has in each case a hanging area 16 that is offset from or cranked from the fastening tab 4. The hanging area 16 can be in the Figure 3 can be recognized well. Via this cranked hanging area 16, an intermediate space Z is created between the front wall 20 and the fastening profile 3, such that a corresponding counterpart of the connecting element 5 can engage in this intermediate space Z. In the embodiment shown, the cranked hanging area 16 extends from the base section 11 towards the front. As a result, the said intermediate space Z is created.

Der Einhängbereich 16 ist derart ausgebildet, dass dieser in Einbaulage gesehen, nach oben hin offen ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch kann das Verbindungselement 5 mit einer Bewegung nach unten hin entsprechend eingehängt werden.The suspension area 16 is designed in such a way that, viewed in the installation position, it is upward is designed to be open. As a result, the connecting element 5 can be suspended accordingly with a downward movement.

Der Einhängbereich 16 weist weiterhin eine innere Anschlagskante 17 und eine äussere Anschlagskante 18 auf. An diesen Anschlagskanten 17, 18 kann das Verbindungselement 5 entsprechend anstehen, so dass eine Bewegung des Verbindungselementes 5 in Richtung der Profilachse P verhindert werden kann. Die innere Anschlagskante 17 wird durch den abgekröpften Einhängbereich 16 bereitgestellt und die äussere Anschlagskante 18 wird durch eine Art Steg 28, welcher endseitig am Befestigungsprofil angeordnet ist, bereitgestellt.The suspension area 16 also has an inner stop edge 17 and an outer stop edge 18. The connecting element 5 can correspondingly rest against these stop edges 17, 18, so that a movement of the connecting element 5 in the direction of the profile axis P can be prevented. The inner stop edge 17 is provided by the cranked hanging area 16 and the outer stop edge 18 is provided by a type of web 28 which is arranged at the end of the fastening profile.

Von allen Figuren kann erkannt werden, dass je eine Aufnahmestelle 6, insbesondere je eine Aufnahmeöffnung 6 im Bereich jeder der Befestigungslaschen 4 angeordnet ist. Dabei ist die Aufnahmeöffnung 6 möglichst nahe an den Einhängbereich 16 platziert, so dass die Kräfte vom Unterschrank 2 gut übertragen werden können. Das heisst, dass auch die Aufnahmestellen 6 im Endbereich bzw. nahe den freien Enden liegen.It can be seen from all the figures that one receiving point 6, in particular one receiving opening 6, is arranged in the area of each of the fastening tabs 4. The receiving opening 6 is placed as close as possible to the hanging area 16, so that the forces can be easily transmitted from the base cabinet 2. This means that the receiving points 6 are also located in the end area or near the free ends.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform steht von der Lagerstruktur als Befestigungselement 7 eine Gewindestange 25 weg und ragt durch die Aufnahmeöffnung 6 hindurch. Auf der Gewindestange 25 liegt eine Mutter 26, mit welcher das Befestigungsprofil 3 zur Vorwand 20 hin festgesetzt werden kann.In the embodiment shown, a threaded rod 25 projects away from the bearing structure as a fastening element 7 and protrudes through the receiving opening 6. A nut 26, with which the fastening profile 3 can be fixed to the front wall 20, lies on the threaded rod 25.

Die Verbindungselemente 5 weisen weiterhin Einstellelemente 19 auf. Über diese Einstellelemente 19 kann der Unterschrank 2 im Sinne einer Feineinstellung oder Feinjustage bezüglich des Befestigungsprofils 3 ausgerichtet werden. Die Einstellelemente 19 sind vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, dass der Unterschrank 2 in alle beliebige Richtungen entsprechend einstellbar ist. Nach oben hin weist der Unterschrank 2 eine Aufnahmestruktur 27, in welche ein Waschtisch eingelegt werden kann.The connecting elements 5 also have adjusting elements 19. The base cabinet 2 can be aligned in terms of a fine adjustment or fine adjustment with respect to the fastening profile 3 via these adjustment elements 19. The setting elements 19 are preferably designed in such a way that the base cabinet 2 can be adjusted accordingly in any direction. Towards the top, the base cabinet 2 has a receiving structure 27 into which a washstand can be inserted.
