Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for fixing a piece of furniture to a base, with a first plate that can be fixed to the base and has an elongated hole through which a first screw or a threaded bolt passes, and a second plate that can be fixed to the piece of furniture.
  • a first plate that can be fixed to the base and has an elongated hole through which a first screw or a threaded bolt passes
  • a second plate that can be fixed to the piece of furniture. which has an elongated hole through which a second screw or a threaded bolt passes, the first screw or the threaded bolt and the second screw or the threaded bolt being fixed to one another via a connecting element, the elongated hole on the first plate in the longitudinal direction at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the Slot can be aligned on the second plate, and a method for fixing a furniture body to a substrate.
  • the DE 10 2012 105 618 A1 discloses a support device for a piece of furniture, which has a support which can be fixed on the floor and to which a plate-shaped holder is fixed.
  • the holder is fixed to the support via bolts, so that the holder connected to a piece of furniture can prevent the piece of furniture from tipping over, for example when a heavy drawer is moved into an open position.
  • the production and assembly of the support with the plate-shaped holder is comparatively complex.
  • JP 5 213 677 B2 discloses a fitting with two spaced plates, each of which has a screw passing through it, the two screws being screwed into a nut with their ends. Although this allows a height adjustment, the position of the plates is precisely specified by the screws, which makes assembly difficult. Attaching the adhesive mats to hold the screw heads is also time-consuming. A similar construction is shown in JP H08 294425 A .
  • metal brackets with elongated holes are also used, which are fixed to a furniture body and the subsurface using fasteners.
  • Such metal angles are for example in DE 20 2012 104 750 U1 , JP S59 187348 U and JP S55 16738 U disclosed.
  • the alignment of the metal bracket and connection via fasteners has the disadvantage that the alignment of the two brackets to each other is difficult, especially when a first bracket is fixed to the furniture body and a second bracket to the floor.
  • the position of the piece of furniture is precisely specified and its position can only be changed by remounting one of the mounting brackets.
  • the metal brackets are difficult to glue to the floor.
  • a first plate that can be fixed to a base has an elongated hole through which a first screw or a threaded bolt passes
  • a second plate that can be fixed to a piece of furniture has an elongated hole through which a second screw or a threaded bolt passes is penetrated, wherein the two screws or the threaded bolt or bolts are fixed to one another via a connecting element and the longitudinal direction of the two oblong holes can be aligned at an angle to one another.
  • the angular orientation refers to the mounted position.
  • the piece of furniture can be aligned relative to the ground by adjusting the first and/or second screw and/or the threaded bolt along the elongated hole of the first and/or second plate, in particular by moving it, and also subsequently adjusted. Only when the two screws or the threaded bolt or bolts are fixed in the desired position of the elongated hole and fixed to one another via the connecting element is the piece of furniture held in the desired position on the ground and, for example, secured against tipping when a drawer is attached to the piece of furniture is moved to an extended position. Due to the angular orientation of the elongated holes, the furniture can be adjusted in different directions take place even if the first panel is already set or fixed to the substrate.
  • the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole in the first plate extends essentially at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole in the second plate. This allows the adjustment range to be kept rectangular or square via the two long holes.
  • Each elongated hole can have a length of between 20 mm and 80 mm, in particular 30 mm and 50 mm, for example, in order to ensure that the piece of furniture can be positioned flexibly on the floor.
  • the elongated hole is preferably formed in a groove-shaped depression or channel-shaped depression, with a head of the first or second screw being held in the groove-shaped depression in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the indentation is preferably formed integrally in the panel, for example by stamping, and is adapted to prevent rotational movement of the screw head relative to the panel.
  • the head of the screw can be designed as a hexagon, rectangle or square in plan view, with opposite wall sections of the head of the screw each contacting a wall on the depression.
  • the associated elongated holes in the recess are preferably formed in the base of the recess and have a width that allows a threaded section of the screw to be pushed through, but prevents the screw head from being pushed through.
  • at least one of the screws can also be designed as a hammer head screw, which can be subsequently inserted and fixed in a slot on a plate.
  • a threaded bolt and a nut can be held on at least one of the plates.
  • the groove-shaped depressions with the elongated hole are preferably linear, but can optionally also be slightly curved or angled.
  • the connecting element between the two screws or the threaded bolt comprises a threaded rod and/or a nut.
  • the threaded rod can be cut to the desired length, so that the device can be used flexibly for different heights at which the distance between the underside of a floor of the furniture body and the ground can vary. This results in significant advantages, especially when it comes to kitchen installation.
  • the first screw can then be connected to the connecting element via a first nut and the second can be connected to the connecting element via a second nut.
  • Connecting element can also be designed as a nut, one end of the first screw and one end of the second screw also being screwed into the nut in order to connect the two screws to one another.
  • the threads can, for example, have a pitch of between 0.5 mm and 2 mm, in particular essentially 1 to 1.5 mm, so that a simple screwing of the nut from the threaded rod onto a threaded section of one of the two screws is ensured.
  • the first screw is fixed to the first plate by a first lock nut and/or the second screw is fixed to the second plate by a second lock nut.
  • the screw can then be fixed using the lock nut, which simplifies assembly.
  • the screw can then first be pre-fixed in the desired position in order to then be connected to the other screw via the connecting element.
  • first and/or second plate For easy manufacture of the first and/or second plate, these can be made of bent and stamped sheet metal.
  • Each panel can have one or more openings for fasteners, such as screws, wherein the openings can optionally be formed on embossings to create a defined distance between the panel and a surface on the base or an underside of a furniture body. This prevents a screw head from getting stuck in the recess of the plate when the plate is fixed in place.
  • the first plate and the second plate are preferably of identical construction, so that identical parts can be produced.
  • the plates can also be made of plastic or other materials.
  • the first panel can also be glued to the substrate. Such bonding may be necessary, especially for floors with underfloor heating.
  • the first panel can also have adhesive channels and profiles or openings that ensure distribution of the adhesive and secure fixing of the panel to the substrate.
  • the second panel can also be glued to the underside of the furniture body.
  • the two plates each comprise an elongated hole, each elongated hole being penetrated by a screw or a threaded bolt whose axial longitudinal axes are aligned in the installed position.
  • the device according to the invention is mounted in particular on furniture, in particular on kitchen furniture, in which the furniture is positioned as an island in the middle of the room. Then it is not possible to secure the furniture against tipping by wall mounting.
  • the device is fixed to the underside of a floor of the furniture body, for example by screwing the second plate to the floor.
  • the first panel is fixed to the base by screws or adhesives, so that after the device has been installed, the piece of furniture is secured against tipping.

  • a second plate is fixed to an underside of a piece of furniture, with a second screw or a threaded bolt passing through an elongated hole in the second plate and protruding downwards.
  • the connecting element has a threaded section, so that at least one screw, preferably both screws, are connected to the connecting element via a nut in each case.

Die DE 10 2012 105 618 A1 offenbart eine Stützvorrichtung für ein Möbel, die eine bodenseitig festlegbare Stütze aufweist, an der ein plattenförmiger Halter fixiert ist. Der Halter ist über Bolzen an der Stütze festgelegt, so dass der mit einem Möbel verbundene Halter ein Kippen des Möbels verhindern kann, beispielsweise wenn ein Schubkasten mit hohem Gewicht in eine Auszugsposition bewegt wird. Die Herstellung und Montage der Stütze mit dem plattenförmigen Halter ist allerdings vergleichsweise aufwändig.the DE 10 2012 105 618 A1 discloses a support device for a piece of furniture, which has a support which can be fixed on the floor and to which a plate-shaped holder is fixed. The holder is fixed to the support via bolts, so that the holder connected to a piece of furniture can prevent the piece of furniture from tipping over, for example when a heavy drawer is moved into an open position. However, the production and assembly of the support with the plate-shaped holder is comparatively complex.

Daher wurden Konstruktionen entwickelt, um einen Fuß oder die Unterseite eines Möbelkorpus an einem Boden zu fixieren. Bei der US 5,724,772 werden an einem Fußelement Halter fixiert, um das Fußelement an einem Bodengitter festzulegen. Diese Art der Befestigung eignet sich aber nicht für einen Boden im Innenbereich, der beispielsweise eine Fußbodenheizung aufweist und daher nicht angebohrt werden darf.Therefore, constructions have been developed to fix a foot or the underside of a furniture body to a floor. In the U.S. 5,724,772 are fixed to a foot element holder to fix the foot element to a floor grid. However, this type of attachment is not suitable for indoor floors that have underfloor heating, for example, and therefore must not be drilled into.

Die JP 5 213 677 B2 offenbart einen Beschlag mit zwei beabstandeten Platten, die jeweils von einer Schraube durchgriffen sind, wobei die beiden Schrauben mit ihren Enden in eine Mutter eingedreht sind. Zwar ermöglicht dies eine Höhenverstellung, allerdings wird durch die Schrauben die Position der Platten exakt vorgegeben, was die Montage erschwert. Das Anbringen der Klebematten zum Aufnehmen der Schraubenköpfe ist zudem aufwändig. Eine ähnliche Konstruktion zeigt die JP H08 294425 A .the JP 5 213 677 B2 discloses a fitting with two spaced plates, each of which has a screw passing through it, the two screws being screwed into a nut with their ends. Although this allows a height adjustment, the position of the plates is precisely specified by the screws, which makes assembly difficult. Attaching the adhesive mats to hold the screw heads is also time-consuming. A similar construction is shown in JP H08 294425 A .

In der Praxis werden zudem Metallwinkel mit Langlöchern eingesetzt, die über Befestigungsmittel an einem Möbelkorpus und dem Untergrund fixiert werden. Solche Metallwinkel sind beispielsweise in DE 20 2012 104 750 U1 , JP S59 187348 U und JP S55 16738 U offenbart. Die Ausrichtung der Metallwinkel und Verbindung über Befestigungsmittel besitzt den Nachteil, dass die Ausrichtung der beiden Befestigungswinkel zueinander schwierig ist, insbesondere wenn ein erster Befestigungswinkel an dem Möbelkorpus und ein zweiter Befestigungswinkel an dem Boden festgelegt wird. Dadurch ist die Position des Möbels exakt vorgegeben und dessen Position kann nur durch erneute Montage eines der Befestigungswinkel geändert werden. Zudem lassen sich die Metallwinkel schlecht am Boden verkleben.In practice, metal brackets with elongated holes are also used, which are fixed to a furniture body and the subsurface using fasteners. Such metal angles are for example in DE 20 2012 104 750 U1 , JP S59 187348 U and JP S55 16738 U disclosed. The alignment of the metal bracket and connection via fasteners has the disadvantage that the alignment of the two brackets to each other is difficult, especially when a first bracket is fixed to the furniture body and a second bracket to the floor. As a result, the position of the piece of furniture is precisely specified and its position can only be changed by remounting one of the mounting brackets. In addition, the metal brackets are difficult to glue to the floor.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Fixieren eines Möbels an einem Untergrund und ein Verfahren zum Fixieren eines Möbelkorpus an einem Untergrund zu schaffen, die eine einfache Ausrichtung und Montage ermöglichen.It is therefore the object of the present invention to create a device for fixing a piece of furniture to a base and a method for fixing a furniture body to a base, which allow simple alignment and assembly.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 und einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 12 gelöst.This object is achieved with a device having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 12.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung weist eine erste, an einem Untergrund festlegbare Plate ein Langloch auf, das von einer ersten Schraube oder einem Gewindebolzen durchgriffen ist, und eine zweite, an einem Möbel festlegbare Platte weist ein Langloch auf, das von einer zweiten Schraube oder einem Gewindebolzen durchgriffen ist, wobei die beiden Schrauben bzw. der oder die Gewindebolzen über ein Verbindungselement aneinander fixiert sind und die Längsrichtung der beiden Langlöcher winklig zueinander ausrichtbar ist. Die winklige Ausrichtung bezieht sich dabei auf die montierte Position. Dadurch kann das Möbel relativ zu dem Untergrund durch Verstellen der ersten und/oder zweiten Schraube und/oder dem Gewindebolzen entlang des Langloches der ersten und/oder zweiten Platte ausgerichtet, insbesondere durch Verschieben, und auch noch nachträglich verstellt werden. Erst wenn die beiden Schrauben bzw. der oder die Gewindebolzen in der gewünschten Position des Langloches fixiert und über das Verbindungselement aneinander festgelegt sind, ist das Möbel in der gewünschten Position an dem Untergrund gehalten und beispielsweise gegen ein Kippen gesichert, wenn ein Schubkasten an dem Möbel in eine Auszugsposition bewegt wird. Durch die winklige Ausrichtung der Langlöcher kann eine Verstellung des Möbels in unterschiedliche Richtungen erfolgen, selbst wenn die erste Platte bereits an dem Untergrund festgelegt oder fixiert ist.In the device according to the invention, a first plate that can be fixed to a base has an elongated hole through which a first screw or a threaded bolt passes, and a second plate that can be fixed to a piece of furniture has an elongated hole through which a second screw or a threaded bolt passes is penetrated, wherein the two screws or the threaded bolt or bolts are fixed to one another via a connecting element and the longitudinal direction of the two oblong holes can be aligned at an angle to one another. The angular orientation refers to the mounted position. As a result, the piece of furniture can be aligned relative to the ground by adjusting the first and/or second screw and/or the threaded bolt along the elongated hole of the first and/or second plate, in particular by moving it, and also subsequently adjusted. Only when the two screws or the threaded bolt or bolts are fixed in the desired position of the elongated hole and fixed to one another via the connecting element is the piece of furniture held in the desired position on the ground and, for example, secured against tipping when a drawer is attached to the piece of furniture is moved to an extended position. Due to the angular orientation of the elongated holes, the furniture can be adjusted in different directions take place even if the first panel is already set or fixed to the substrate.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich die Längsrichtung des Langloches in der ersten Platte im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu der Längsrichtung des Langloches in der zweiten Platte. Dadurch kann der Verstellbereich über die beiden Langlöcher rechteckig oder quadratisch gehalten werden. Jedes Langloch kann dabei beispielsweise eine Länge zwischen 20 mm bis 80 mm, insbesondere 30 mm bis 50 mm, besitzen, um eine flexible Aufstellung des Möbels auf dem Untergrund zu gewährleisten.Preferably, the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole in the first plate extends essentially at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole in the second plate. This allows the adjustment range to be kept rectangular or square via the two long holes. Each elongated hole can have a length of between 20 mm and 80 mm, in particular 30 mm and 50 mm, for example, in order to ensure that the piece of furniture can be positioned flexibly on the floor.

An der ersten und/oder zweiten Platte ist das Langloch vorzugsweise an einer nut- oder rinnenförmigen Vertiefung ausgebildet, wobei ein Kopf der ersten oder zweiten Schraube drehfest an der nutförmigen Vertiefung gehalten ist. Die Vertiefung ist vorzugsweise integral in der Platte ausgebildet, beispielsweise durch Prägen, und kann eine Drehbewegung des Schraubenkopfes relativ zu der Platte verhindern. Hierfür kann der Kopf der Schraube in Draufsicht als Sechseck, Rechteck oder Quadrat ausgebildet sein, wobei gegenüberliegende Wandabschnitte des Kopfes der Schraube jeweils eine Wand an der Vertiefung kontaktieren. Die zugehörigen Langlöcher an der Vertiefung sind vorzugsweise im Boden der Vertiefung ausgebildet und besitzen eine Breite, die ein Durchstecken eines Gewindeabschnittes der Schraube ermöglicht, aber ein Durchstecken des Schraubenkopfes verhindern. Alternativ kann zumindest eine der Schrauben auch als Hammerkopfschraube ausgebildet sein, die nachträglich in ein Langloch an einer Platte eingesteckt und fixiert werden kann. Ferner können statt einer Schraube ein Gewindebolzen und eine Mutter an mindestens einer der Platten gehalten sein. Die nutförmigen Vertiefungen mit dem Langloch sind vorzugsweise linear ausgebildet, können optional aber auch leicht gekrümmt oder winklig ausgebildet sein.On the first and/or second plate, the elongated hole is preferably formed in a groove-shaped depression or channel-shaped depression, with a head of the first or second screw being held in the groove-shaped depression in a rotationally fixed manner. The indentation is preferably formed integrally in the panel, for example by stamping, and is adapted to prevent rotational movement of the screw head relative to the panel. For this purpose, the head of the screw can be designed as a hexagon, rectangle or square in plan view, with opposite wall sections of the head of the screw each contacting a wall on the depression. The associated elongated holes in the recess are preferably formed in the base of the recess and have a width that allows a threaded section of the screw to be pushed through, but prevents the screw head from being pushed through. Alternatively, at least one of the screws can also be designed as a hammer head screw, which can be subsequently inserted and fixed in a slot on a plate. Furthermore, instead of a screw, a threaded bolt and a nut can be held on at least one of the plates. The groove-shaped depressions with the elongated hole are preferably linear, but can optionally also be slightly curved or angled.

Das Verbindungselement zwischen den beiden Schrauben bzw. den Gewindebolzen umfasst erfindungsgemäß eine Gewindestange und/oder eine Mutter. Die Gewindestange kann in der gewünschten Länge abgeschnitten werden, so dass die Vorrichtung flexibel für unterschiedliche Höhen eingesetzt werden kann, bei denen der Abstand der Unterseite eines Bodens des Möbelkorpus zum Untergrund variieren kann. Gerade bei der Küchenmontage ergeben sich dadurch erhebliche Vorteile. Die erste Schraube kann mit dem Verbindungselement dann über eine erste Mutter und die zweite kann mit dem Verbindungselement über eine zweite Mutter verbunden werden. Alternativ kann das Verbindungselement auch als Mutter ausgebildet sein, wobei ein Ende der ersten Schraube und zusätzlich ein Ende der zweiten Schraube in die Mutter eingedreht ist, um die beiden Schrauben miteinander zu verbinden.According to the invention, the connecting element between the two screws or the threaded bolt comprises a threaded rod and/or a nut. The threaded rod can be cut to the desired length, so that the device can be used flexibly for different heights at which the distance between the underside of a floor of the furniture body and the ground can vary. This results in significant advantages, especially when it comes to kitchen installation. The first screw can then be connected to the connecting element via a first nut and the second can be connected to the connecting element via a second nut. Alternatively it can Connecting element can also be designed as a nut, one end of the first screw and one end of the second screw also being screwed into the nut in order to connect the two screws to one another.

Beim Fixieren der Schrauben mit dem als Gewindestange ausgebildeten Verbindungselement kann eine Bewegung in axiale Richtung vermieden werden, wenn die Gewinde an den Schrauben und der Gewindestange in die gleiche Richtung geneigt sind, also als Rechtsgewinde oder Linksgewinde ausgebildet sind, so dass beim Aufdrehen der Mutter von der Gewindestange auf eine der beiden Schrauben keine axialen Kräfte zum Anziehen oder Wegdrücken auf die Schraube bewirkt werden. Gerade bei einem Verkleben einer Platte mit dem Untergrund kann somit ein Abreißen der Platte vom Untergrund verhindert werden. Die Gewindegänge können beispielsweise eine Steigung zwischen 0,5 mm bis 2 mm, insbesondere im Wesentlichen 1 bis 1,5 mm, besitzen, so dass ein einfaches Aufschrauben der Mutter von der Gewindestange auf einen Gewindeabschnitt einer der beiden Schrauben gewährleistet wird.When fixing the screws with the connecting element designed as a threaded rod, movement in the axial direction can be avoided if the threads on the screws and the threaded rod are inclined in the same direction, i.e. are designed as right-hand or left-hand threads, so that when the nut is unscrewed from of the threaded rod on one of the two screws no axial forces for tightening or pushing away are applied to the screw. In this way, it is possible to prevent the plate from being torn off from the substrate, particularly when a plate is glued to the substrate. The threads can, for example, have a pitch of between 0.5 mm and 2 mm, in particular essentially 1 to 1.5 mm, so that a simple screwing of the nut from the threaded rod onto a threaded section of one of the two screws is ensured.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung wird die erste Schraube über eine erste Kontermutter an der ersten Platte und/oder die zweite Schraube über eine zweite Kontermutter an der zweiten Platte fixiert. Nach dem Ausrichten einer Schraube an dem Langloch einer der beiden Platten kann die Schraube dann über die Kontermutter fixiert werden, was die Montage vereinfacht. Dann kann zunächst die Schraube in der gewünschten Position vorfixiert werden, um dann über das Verbindungselement mit der weiteren Schraube verbunden zu werden.In a preferred embodiment, the first screw is fixed to the first plate by a first lock nut and/or the second screw is fixed to the second plate by a second lock nut. After aligning a screw with the long hole in one of the two plates, the screw can then be fixed using the lock nut, which simplifies assembly. The screw can then first be pre-fixed in the desired position in order to then be connected to the other screw via the connecting element.

Für eine einfache Herstellung der ersten und/oder zweiten Platte können diese aus einem gebogenen und gestanzten Metallblech hergestellt sein. Jede Platte kann eine oder mehrere Öffnungen für Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise Schrauben, aufweisen, wobei die Öffnungen optional an Prägungen ausgebildet sein können, um einen definierten Abstand zwischen der Platte und einer Oberfläche an dem Untergrund oder einer Unterseite eines Möbelkorpus herzustellen. Dadurch wird bei einem Fixieren der Platte ein Anklemmen eines Schraubenkopfes in der Vertiefung der Platte verhindert. Bevorzugt sind die erste Platte und die zweite Platte baugleich ausgebildet, so dass Gleichteile hergestellt werden können. Die Platten können optional auch aus Kunststoff oder anderen Materialien hergestellt sein.For easy manufacture of the first and/or second plate, these can be made of bent and stamped sheet metal. Each panel can have one or more openings for fasteners, such as screws, wherein the openings can optionally be formed on embossings to create a defined distance between the panel and a surface on the base or an underside of a furniture body. This prevents a screw head from getting stuck in the recess of the plate when the plate is fixed in place. The first plate and the second plate are preferably of identical construction, so that identical parts can be produced. Optionally, the plates can also be made of plastic or other materials.

Die erste Platte kann optional auch mit dem Untergrund verklebt sein. Gerade bei Fußböden mit Fußbodenheizung kann ein solches Verkleben erforderlich sein. Hierfür kann die erste Platte auch Klebekanäle und Profilierungen oder Öffnungen aufweisen, die ein Verteilen des Klebemittels und ein sicheres Fixieren der Platte an dem Untergrund gewährleisten. Optional kann auch die zweite Platte an der Unterseite des Möbelkorpus verklebt sein.Optionally, the first panel can also be glued to the substrate. Such bonding may be necessary, especially for floors with underfloor heating. For this purpose, the first panel can also have adhesive channels and profiles or openings that ensure distribution of the adhesive and secure fixing of the panel to the substrate. Optionally, the second panel can also be glued to the underside of the furniture body.

Vorzugsweise umfassen die zwei Platten jeweils ein Langloch, wobei jedes Langloch von einer Schraube oder einem Gewindebolzen durchgriffen ist, deren axiale Längsachsen in der montierten Position fluchtend ausgerichtet ist.Preferably, the two plates each comprise an elongated hole, each elongated hole being penetrated by a screw or a threaded bolt whose axial longitudinal axes are aligned in the installed position.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird insbesondere an Möbeln montiert, insbesondere an Küchenmöbeln, bei denen das Möbel als Insel mitten im Raum positioniert wird. Dann ist es nicht möglich, das Möbel gegen ein Kippen durch eine Wandbefestigung zu sichern. Die Vorrichtung wird dabei an der Unterseite eines Bodens des Möbelkorpus fixiert, beispielsweise durch Verschrauben der zweiten Platte an dem Boden. Die erste Platte wird an dem Untergrund durch Schrauben oder Kleben fixiert, so dass nach montierter Vorrichtung das Möbel gegen ein Kippen gesichert ist.The device according to the invention is mounted in particular on furniture, in particular on kitchen furniture, in which the furniture is positioned as an island in the middle of the room. Then it is not possible to secure the furniture against tipping by wall mounting. The device is fixed to the underside of a floor of the furniture body, for example by screwing the second plate to the floor. The first panel is fixed to the base by screws or adhesives, so that after the device has been installed, the piece of furniture is secured against tipping.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird eine erste Platte an einem Untergrund fixiert, wobei eine erste Schraube oder ein Gewindebolzen ein Langloch in der ersten Platte durchgreift und nach oben hervorsteht. Ferner wird eine zweite Platte an einer Unterseite eines Möbelkorpus fixiert, wobei eine zweite Schraube oder ein Gewindebolzen ein Langloch in der zweiten Platte durchgreift und nach unten hervorsteht. Die Montagereihenfolge dieser beiden Schritte ist beliebig. Die erste und die zweite Schraube bzw. der oder die Gewindebolzen werden dann entlang der Langlöcher so ausgerichtet, dass diese in vertikale Richtung übereinander angeordnet sind, vorzugsweise so, dass die Achsen der Gewindebolzen oder Schrauben im Wesentlichen fluchtend angeordnet sind. Dann wird ein Verbindungselement an der ersten und der zweiten Schraube oder dem Gewindebolzen zum Verbinden der ersten und der zweiten Platte fixiert. Dadurch kann der Möbelkorpus über die Fixierung an dem Untergrund gegen ein Kippen gesichert werden. Die Reihenfolge der Verfahrensschritte kann dabei beliebig gewählt werden.In the method according to the invention, a first plate is fixed to a substrate, with a first screw or threaded bolt passing through an elongated hole in the first plate and protruding upwards. Furthermore, a second plate is fixed to an underside of a piece of furniture, with a second screw or a threaded bolt passing through an elongated hole in the second plate and protruding downwards. These two steps can be assembled in any order. The first and the second screw or the threaded bolt or bolts are then aligned along the elongated holes in such a way that they are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction, preferably in such a way that the axes of the threaded bolts or screws are arranged essentially in alignment. Then, a connecting member is fixed to the first and second screws or bolts for connecting the first and second plates. As a result, the furniture body can be secured against tipping over by being fixed to the substructure. The order of the process steps can be selected as desired.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Verbindungselement einen Gewindeabschnitt auf, so dass mindestens eine Schraube, vorzugsweise beide Schrauben, über jeweils eine Mutter mit dem Verbindungselement verbunden werden. Beim Aufschrauben der Mutter von der Verbindungsstange auf die Schraube oder von der Schraube auf die Verbindungsstange kann eine Axialkraft im Wesentlichen vermieden werden, insbesondere wenn die Gewinde gleichdrehend ausgebildet sind. Dadurch kann ein Anheben einer Platte verhindert werden, auch wenn diese festgeklebt ist und der Kleber noch nicht endgültig ausgehärtet ist. Alternativ kann das Verbindungselement auch durch eine Mutter gebildet sein, in die von gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils ein Gewindeabschnitt einer Schraube oder eines Gewindebolzens eingreift.According to the invention, the connecting element has a threaded section, so that at least one screw, preferably both screws, are connected to the connecting element via a nut in each case. When unscrewing of the nut from the connecting rod to the screw or from the screw to the connecting rod, an axial force can essentially be avoided, in particular if the threads are co-rotating. This can prevent a panel from being lifted, even if it is glued in place and the glue has not yet fully cured. Alternatively, the connecting element can also be formed by a nut, into which a threaded section of a screw or a threaded bolt engages from opposite sides.

Eine Vorrichtung 1 zum Fixieren eines Möbels an einem Untergrund umfasst eine untere Platte 2, an der ein Langloch 3 vorgesehen ist, das von einer unteren ersten Schraube 4 durchgriffen ist. Dabei ist ein Kopf der Schraube 4 in einer Vertiefung 22 an der Unterseite der ersten Platte 2 angeordnet, und ein Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 4 steht von der Platte 2 nach oben hervor. An der ersten Platte 2 sind ferner mehrere Öffnungen 20 vorgesehen, an denen optional Befestigungsmittel eingesteckt werden können, um die Platte 2 an einem Untergrund zu fixieren. Die Öffnungen 20 sind dabei im Bereich einer topfförmigen Prägung 21 ausgebildet, die von der Platte 2 nach unten hervorstehend ausgeformt sind. Dadurch wird ein Festklemmen des Kopfes der Schraube 4 verhindert, wenn die Platte 2 an dem Untergrund festgelegt wird. Optional kann durch die Höhe der Vertiefung 22 auch auf solche Prägungen 21 verzichtet werden.A device 1 for fixing a piece of furniture to a base comprises a lower plate 2 on which an elongated hole 3 is provided, through which a lower first screw 4 passes. In this case, a head of the screw 4 is arranged in a recess 22 on the underside of the first plate 2, and a threaded portion of the screw 4 protrudes from the plate 2 upwards. Furthermore, a plurality of openings 20 are provided on the first plate 2, into which fastening means can optionally be inserted in order to fix the plate 2 to a substrate. The openings 20 are formed in the area of a pot-shaped embossing 21 which is formed protruding downwards from the plate 2 . This prevents the head of the screw 4 from jamming when the panel 2 is fixed to the substrate. Optionally, such embossings 21 can also be dispensed with due to the height of the recess 22 .

Die Vorrichtung 1 umfasst ferner eine zweite Platte 5, die ein Langloch 6 aufweist, an dem eine zweite Schraube 7 verstellbar gehalten ist. Die Schraube 7 ist dabei im Bereich einer Vertiefung 60 angeordnet, wobei über die Vertiefung 60 ein Drehen der Schraube 7 verhindert wird. Ein Kopf der Schraube 7 ist dabei an einer Oberseite der Platte 5 und im Bereich der Vertiefung 60 angeordnet, während ein Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 7 nach unten hervorsteht. An der zweiten Platte 5 sind mehrere Öffnungen 50 für Befestigungsmittel ausgebildet, wobei die Öffnungen 50 im Bereich der Prägung 51 angeordnet sind, die von der Platte 5 nach oben hervorstehen. Dadurch kann ein Festklemmen des Kopfes der Schraube 7 beim Fixieren der Platte 5 an einer Unterseite eines Möbelkorpus verhindert werden.The device 1 also includes a second plate 5, which has an elongated hole 6, on which a second screw 7 is adjustably held. The screw 7 is arranged in the area of a depression 60 , the depression 60 preventing the screw 7 from turning. A head of the screw 7 is arranged on an upper side of the plate 5 and in the area of the depression 60. while a threaded portion of the screw 7 protrudes downward. A plurality of openings 50 for fastening means are formed on the second plate 5, the openings 50 being arranged in the area of the embossing 51 which protrudes from the plate 5 upwards. As a result, the head of the screw 7 can be prevented from being jammed when the plate 5 is fixed to an underside of a furniture body.

Die Langlöcher 3 und 6 erstrecken sich mit ihrer Längsrichtung winklig zueinander, insbesondere im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig. Dadurch können die Schrauben 4 und 7 relativ zueinander ausgerichtet werden, solange sich noch nicht über ein Verbindungselement 8 aneinander fixiert sind.The elongated holes 3 and 6 extend at an angle to one another with their longitudinal direction, in particular essentially at right angles. As a result, the screws 4 and 7 can be aligned relative to one another as long as they are not yet fixed to one another via a connecting element 8 .

Das Verbindungselement 8 umfasst eine Gewindestange, die in der montierten Position die beiden Schrauben 4 und 7 miteinander verbindet. Hierfür ist an der Gewindestange eine obere Mutter 11 vorgesehen, die auf den Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 7 aufgeschraubt werden kann. An der Gewindestange ist ferner eine untere Mutter 9 vorgesehen, die auf den Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 4 aufgedreht werden kann. Dadurch sind die Schrauben 4 und 7 über die Muttern 9 und 11 sowie die Gewindestange miteinander verbunden. Das Verbindungselement 8 muss dabei nicht als durchgängige Gewindestange ausgebildet sein, sondern kann im mittleren Bereich optional auch einen gewindelosen beispielsweise zylindrischen Abschnitt aufweisen.The connecting element 8 comprises a threaded rod which connects the two screws 4 and 7 to one another in the mounted position. For this purpose, an upper nut 11 is provided on the threaded rod, which can be screwed onto the threaded section of the screw 7. A lower nut 9 is also provided on the threaded rod and can be screwed onto the threaded portion of the screw 4 . As a result, the screws 4 and 7 are connected to one another via the nuts 9 and 11 and the threaded rod. The connecting element 8 does not have to be in the form of a continuous threaded rod, but can optionally also have an unthreaded, for example cylindrical, section in the central area.

In den Figuren 2A und 2B ist die Vorrichtung 1 bei der Montage gezeigt. Die erste Platte 2 wird an einem Untergrund 13 fixiert, beispielsweise einem Boden in einer Küche. Die Platte 2 kann dabei wahlweise über Befestigungsmittel mit dem Untergrund 13 verschraubt werden oder, falls ein solches Verschrauben nicht möglich ist, beispielsweise wegen einer Fußbodenheizung, kann die Platte 2 auch an der Unterseite mit dem Untergrund 13 verklebt werden.In the Figures 2A and 2B the device 1 is shown during assembly. The first panel 2 is fixed to a base 13, for example a floor in a kitchen. The plate 2 can optionally be screwed to the base 13 using fasteners or, if such a screwing is not possible, for example because of underfloor heating, the plate 2 can also be glued to the base 13 on the underside.

Die zweite Platte 5 wird an der Unterseite eines Möbelkorpus an einem Boden 14 fixiert, beispielsweise mit Holzschrauben, sofern der Boden 14 aus einem Holzwerkstoff hergestellt ist. Der Boden 14 kann dabei Teil eines Möbels sein, das Schubkästen umfasst, die durch ihr Eigengewicht in einer Auszugsposition für ein Kippen des Möbels sorgen können, was über die Vorrichtung 1 verhindert werden soll.The second plate 5 is fixed to the underside of a furniture body on a base 14, for example with wood screws, if the base 14 is made of a wood material. The base 14 can be part of a piece of furniture that includes drawers that, due to their own weight, can cause the piece of furniture to tip over in an extended position, which the device 1 is intended to prevent.

Nach der Montage der beiden Platten 2 und 5 mit den Schrauben 4 und 7 wird das Verbindungselement 8 in Form der Gewindestange montiert. Hierfür wird die Schraube 4 entlang des Langloches 3 und die Schraube 7 entlang des Langloches 6 verschoben, bis die Achse der Schraube 4 und der Schraube 7 im Wesentlichen fluchtend angeordnet ist. In dieser Position kann dann eine Kontermutter 10 an der Oberseite der Platte 2 die Schraube 4 an der Platte 2 fixieren. Ferner kann eine Kontermutter 12 die Schraube 7 an der zweiten Platte 5 fixieren. Das Fixieren über die Kontermuttern 10 und 12 kann auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erfolgen, wobei optional auch eine oder beide Kontermuttern 10 und 12 weggelassen werden können.After mounting the two plates 2 and 5 with the screws 4 and 7, the connecting element 8 is mounted in the form of the threaded rod. For this will the screw 4 is displaced along the elongated hole 3 and the screw 7 along the elongated hole 6 until the axis of the screw 4 and the screw 7 is arranged essentially in alignment. In this position, a lock nut 10 on the upper side of the plate 2 can then fix the screw 4 on the plate 2. Furthermore, a lock nut 12 can fix the screw 7 to the second plate 5 . The fixing via the lock nuts 10 and 12 can also take place at a later point in time, with one or both lock nuts 10 and 12 optionally also being able to be omitted.

Ferner wird das Verbindungselement 8 mit der oberen Schraube 7 dadurch verbunden, dass die obere Mutter 11, die als Langmutter ausgebildet ist, also als Mutter mit längerer axialer Erstreckung, auf den Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 7 aufgedreht wird. Die Mutter 11 greift somit mit einem oberen Teil in das Gewinde der Schraube 7 ein und mit einem unteren Abschnitt in das Gewinde der Gewindestange 8. Vorzugsweise wird die Mutter 11 klemmend gegen die Kontermutter 12 oder die Platte 5 gedreht.Furthermore, the connecting element 8 is connected to the upper screw 7 in that the upper nut 11 , which is designed as a long nut, ie as a nut with a longer axial extension, is screwed onto the threaded section of the screw 7 . The nut 11 thus engages in the thread of the screw 7 with an upper part and in the thread of the threaded rod 8 with a lower section.

Ferner wird die untere Mutter 9, die ebenfalls als Langmutter ausgebildet ist, auf den Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 4 aufgedreht und optional klemmend an der Kontermutter 10 oder der Platte 2 festgelegt. Ein unterer Abschnitt der Mutter 9 steht somit in Eingriff mit der Schraube 4, und ein oberer Abschnitt der Mutter 9 steht in Eingriff mit dem Verbindungselement 8. In der montierten Position können über die Vorrichtung sowohl Zug- als auch Druckkräfte übertragen werden.Furthermore, the lower nut 9, which is also designed as a long nut, is screwed onto the threaded section of the screw 4 and optionally fixed to the lock nut 10 or the plate 2 in a clamping manner. A lower portion of the nut 9 is thus in engagement with the screw 4 and an upper portion of the nut 9 is in engagement with the connecting element 8. In the mounted position, both tensile and compressive forces can be transmitted via the device.

In den Figuren 2A und 2B besitzt die Vorrichtung eine Höhe H, die dem Abstand zwischen der Unterseite des Bodens 14 und der Oberseite des Untergrundes 13 entspricht.In the Figures 2A and 2B the device has a height H which corresponds to the distance between the underside of the floor 14 and the top of the substructure 13 .

In den Figuren 3A und 3B ist eine modifizierte Vorrichtung gezeigt, bei der ein kürzeres Verbindungselement 8' eingesetzt wird, das ebenfalls als Gewindestange ausgebildet ist. Dadurch besitzt die Vorrichtung eine geringere Höhe h, wobei im Übrigen der Aufbau der Vorrichtung mit den Platten 2 und 5 und dem Verbindungselement 8' identisch ist.In the Figures 3A and 3B a modified device is shown in which a shorter connecting element 8' is used, which is also designed as a threaded rod. As a result, the device has a lower height h, the rest of the structure of the device with the plates 2 and 5 and the connecting element 8' being identical.

In den Figuren 4A bis 4C ist eine modifizierte Vorrichtung gezeigt, bei der ein noch kürzeres Verbindungselement 8" eingesetzt wird, das ebenfalls als Gewindestange ausgebildet ist. Über das Verbindungselement 8" werden über die Muttern 9 und 11 die Schrauben 4 und 7 und somit die Platten 2 und 5 miteinander verbunden.In the Figures 4A to 4C a modified device is shown, in which an even shorter connecting element 8 "is used, which is also designed as a threaded rod. About the connecting element 8 "are about the Nuts 9 and 11 the screws 4 and 7 and thus the plates 2 and 5 connected to each other.

Die Höhe der Vorrichtung kann durch Abschneiden des Verbindungselementes 8, 8' oder 8" an den Abstand zwischen der Unterseite des Bodens 14 und der Oberseite des Untergrundes 13 angepasst werden, wobei über die Muttern 9 und 11 auch ein Spalt von einigen Millimetern zwischen der Gewindestange und einer Stirnseite der Schrauben 4 oder 7 überbrückt werden kann.The height of the device can be adjusted by cutting the connecting element 8, 8' or 8" to the distance between the bottom of the base 14 and the top of the base 13, using the nuts 9 and 11 also a gap of a few millimeters between the threaded rod and one end face of the screws 4 or 7 can be bridged.

Bei der Montage der Vorrichtung 1 kann die Reihenfolge beliebig gewählt werden. Beispielsweise kann das Verbindungselement 8, 8' oder 8" zuerst an der Schraube 7 über die Mutter 11 fixiert werden, so dass das nach unten hängende Verbindungselement 8, 8' oder 8" ein Ausrichten relativ zu der ersten Schraube 4 an der unteren ersten Platte 2 erleichtert. Nach der Ausrichtung kann dann optional über die Kontermutter 12 oder die Mutter 11 eine Fixierung der oberen Schraube 11 an der Platte 5 vorgenommen werden, um dann über die Mutter 9 das Verbindungselement 8, 8' oder 8" mit der Schraube 4 zu verbinden, optional über vorheriges Fixieren der Schraube 4 über die Kontermutter 10. Auch hier kann die Reihenfolge der Montageschritte natürlich abgeändert werden.When assembling the device 1, the order can be chosen arbitrarily. For example, the connecting element 8, 8' or 8" can first be fixed to the screw 7 via the nut 11, so that the downwardly hanging connecting element 8, 8' or 8" has an alignment relative to the first screw 4 on the lower first plate 2 relieved. After the alignment, the upper screw 11 can then optionally be fixed to the plate 5 via the lock nut 12 or the nut 11, in order to then connect the connecting element 8, 8' or 8" to the screw 4 via the nut 9, optionally by previously fixing the screw 4 using the lock nut 10. Here, too, the order of the assembly steps can of course be changed.

Die Höhe h, H der Vorrichtung 1 kann abhängig von der Länge des Verbindungselementes 8, 8' oder 8" beispielsweise zwischen 60 mm bis 400 mm, insbesondere 70 mm bis 300 mm, betragen.Depending on the length of the connecting element 8, 8' or 8'', the height h, H of the device 1 can be, for example, between 60 mm and 400 mm, in particular 70 mm and 300 mm.

In den Figuren 5A und 5B ist eine Platte 2 oder 5 im Detail gezeigt. Die Platten 2 und 5 sind vorzugsweise baugleich ausgebildet und aus einem gebogenen und gestanzten Metallblech hergestellt. Auch eine Herstellung aus Kunststoff ist möglich.In the Figures 5A and 5B a plate 2 or 5 is shown in detail. The plates 2 and 5 are preferably of identical design and are made from a bent and stamped metal sheet. A production from plastic is also possible.

Jede Platte 2 und 5 umfasst ein Langloch 3 oder 6, das in der montierten Position winklig zu dem jeweils anderen Langloch 3 oder 6 ausgerichtet ist. Das Langloch 3 oder 6 ist jeweils an einer nutförmigen Vertiefung 22 in einem Bodenbereich ausgebildet, wobei die Breite des Langloches ein Durchstecken der Schraube 4 oder 7 ermöglicht, aber den Kopf der Schraube 4 oder 7 drehfest an der Vertiefung 22 hält. Die Vertiefung 22 steht dabei an einer ersten Seite der Platte 2 oder 5 hervor, während die Prägungen 21, an denen die Öffnungen 20 ausgebildet sind, an einer zweiten, zur ersten Seite gegenüberliegenden Seite hervorstehen. Optional können an den Platten 2 und 5 noch Kanäle oderEach plate 2 and 5 comprises a slot 3 or 6 which is oriented at an angle to the respective other slot 3 or 6 in the mounted position. The elongated hole 3 or 6 is formed in a groove-shaped depression 22 in a bottom area, the width of the elongated hole allowing the screw 4 or 7 to be pushed through, but holding the head of the screw 4 or 7 in the depression 22 in a rotationally fixed manner. The indentation 22 protrudes on a first side of the plate 2 or 5, while the embossings 21, on which the openings 20 are formed, protrude on a second side opposite the first side. Optionally, channels or

Öffnungen ausgebildet sein, die ein Verteilen eines Klebemittels erleichtern, um ein Ankleben der Platte 2 oder 5 an dem Untergrund 13 oder dem Boden 14 zu erleichtern.Openings may be formed that facilitate distribution of an adhesive to facilitate sticking of the plate 2 or 5 to the substrate 13 or the floor 14.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Platten 2 und 5 nur ein Langloch 3 oder 6 auf. Es ist natürlich möglich, mehrere Langlöcher 3 oder 6 vorzusehen oder die Langlöcher mit einer anderen Kontur auszugestalten, beispielsweise einer Öffnung zur nachträglichen Montage einer Schraube 4 oder 7.In the illustrated embodiment, the plates 2 and 5 have only one slot 3 or 6. It is of course possible to provide several elongated holes 3 or 6 or to design the elongated holes with a different contour, for example an opening for subsequent installation of a screw 4 or 7.

Zudem können die Schrauben 4 oder 7 statt mit einem sechseckigen Schraubenkopf mit einem rechteckigen oder quadratischen Kopf ausgebildet sein.In addition, the screws 4 or 7 can be designed with a rectangular or square head instead of with a hexagonal screw head.

In den Figuren 6A bis 6C ist eine modifizierte Vorrichtung 1 gezeigt, bei der die untere erste Platte 2 an einem Untergrund 13 fixiert wird und die zweite Platte 5 an der Unterseite eines Möbelkorpus an einem Boden 14 festgelegt wird, wobei der vertikale Abstand h zwischen den Platten zwischen 60 mm bis 300 mm betragen kann. An der unteren ersten Platte 2 ist eine Schraube 4 angeordnet, die optional über ein Kontermutter 10 gesichert ist, wenn die gewünschte Position entlang des Langloches 3 eingestellt ist. Anders als bei den vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispielen ist eine obere Schraube 7' an der zweiten Platte 5 gehalten, die als Hammerkopfschraube ausgebildet ist und eine größere Länge als die Schrauben 7 aufweist.In the Figures 6A to 6C A modified device 1 is shown, in which the lower first panel 2 is fixed to a base 13 and the second panel 5 is fixed to the underside of a furniture body on a floor 14, the vertical distance h between the panels being between 60 mm and 300 mm. A screw 4 is arranged on the lower first plate 2 and is optionally secured with a lock nut 10 when the desired position along the elongated hole 3 is set. In contrast to the previous exemplary embodiments, an upper screw 7 ′ is held on the second plate 5 , which is designed as a hammer head screw and is longer than the screws 7 .

In der vormontierten Position wird die Schraube 7' wird durch das Langloch 6 in der zweiten Platte 5 eingesteckt und ein Abstand B zwischen einem unteren Ende der Schraube 7' und einem oberen Ende der der unteren Schraube 4 beispielsweise zwischen 3mm bis 6mm betragen. Ein Kopf 71 der Schraube 7' ist dabei in Längsrichtung parallel zu der Längsrichtung des Langloches 6 ausgerichtet. Die Schraube 7' kann dadurch vor oder nach der Montage der zweiten Platte 5 an dem Möbelkorpus montiert werden.In the preassembled position, the screw 7' is inserted through the slot 6 in the second plate 5 and a distance B between a lower end of the screw 7' and an upper end of the lower screw 4 is between 3mm and 6mm, for example. A head 71 of the screw 7 ′ is aligned parallel to the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 6 in the longitudinal direction. The screw 7' can thereby be fitted to the furniture body before or after the second panel 5 is fitted.

Nachdem der Möbelkorpus positioniert ist, kann bei der Montage das Maß zwischen dem Fußboden und der Unterkante des Schrankes ermittelt werden. Abhängig von diesem Maß kann eine Länge der Schraube 7' ausgewählt werden, die als Hammerkopfschraube ausgebildet ist. Auf den Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 7' wird dann eine Kontermutter 12 und eine Mutter 80 als Verbindungselement aufgedreht.After the furniture body has been positioned, the measurement between the floor and the lower edge of the cupboard can be determined during assembly. Depending on this dimension, a length of the screw 7' can be selected, which is designed as a hammer head screw. A lock nut 12 and a nut 80 are then screwed onto the threaded section of the screw 7' as a connecting element.

Anschließend wird die Schraube 7' mit dem Schraubenkopf 71 um 90° gedreht, wie dies in Figur 7B und 7C gezeigt ist. Durch das Drehen des Schraubenkopfes 71 kann dieser sich etwas absenken, so dass das Ende der Schraube 7' etwas näher an dem Ende der Schraube 4 angeordnet ist, beispielsweise zwischen 1mm bis 3mm. Nun müssen sich die Gewinde der oberen und unteren Schraube 7' und 4 ausgerichtet werden, durch Verschieben der Schrauben 4 und 7' in den Langlöchern 3 und 6. Anschließend erfolgt das Festziehen der optionalen Kontermuttern 10 und 12.The screw 7' with the screw head 71 is then rotated through 90°, as shown in Figure 7B and 7C is shown. By turning the screw head 71, it can be lowered somewhat, so that the end of the screw 7' is arranged somewhat closer to the end of the screw 4, for example between 1 mm and 3 mm. Now the threads of the upper and lower screws 7' and 4 must be aligned by moving the screws 4 and 7' in the elongated holes 3 and 6. Then the optional lock nuts 10 and 12 are tightened.

Als letzter Arbeitsschritt erfolgt gemäß Figuren 8A bis 8C ein Aufschrauben der als Verbindungselement 80 ausgebildeten Mutter, die als Langmutter ausgebildet ist und beispielsweise eine axiale Länge von mehr als 15mm aufweist, insbesondere zwischen 20mm und 60mm. Hierbei wird vermieden, dass untere Schraube 4 mit der ersten Platte 2 nach oben gezogen wird.The last step is carried out according to Figures 8A to 8C screwing on the nut designed as a connecting element 80, which is designed as a long nut and has, for example, an axial length of more than 15 mm, in particular between 20 mm and 60 mm. This avoids the lower screw 4 being pulled upwards with the first plate 2 .

In den Figuren 9A und 9B ist die Schraube 7' im Detail gezeigt, die als Hammerkopfschraube mit einem in Draufsicht im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Kopf 71 und einem Gewindebolzen 70 versehen ist. Auf der zu dem Gewindebolzen 70 gerichteten Seite des Kopfes 71 ist eine Stufe 72 ausgebildet, so dass benachbart zu dem Gewindebolzen 70 ein Vierkant ausgebildet ist. Vor dem Drehen in dem Langloch 6 ist der Vierkant auch oberhalb des Langloches 6 und wird dann durch Drehen um 90° in das Langloch 6 eingefügt mit dem Vorteil, dass ein Verdrehen und ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen vermieden wird. Der Kopf 71 weist an diagonal gegenüberliegenden Ecken Abrundungen 73 auf, um ein Drehen der Schraube 7' nach einem Einstecken in das Langloch 6 zu ermöglichen.In the Figures 9A and 9B the screw 7 ′ is shown in detail, which is provided as a hammer head screw with a head 71 that is essentially rectangular in plan view and a threaded bolt 70 . A step 72 is formed on the side of the head 71 directed toward the threaded bolt 70 , so that a square is formed adjacent to the threaded bolt 70 . Before turning in the slot 6, the square is also above the slot 6 and is then inserted into the slot 6 by rotating it through 90°, with the advantage that twisting and unintentional loosening is avoided. The head 71 has rounded corners 73 on diagonally opposite corners in order to enable the screw 7 ′ to be turned after it has been inserted into the elongated hole 6 .

In den Figuren 10A bis 10C ist eine Vorrichtung zum Fixieren eines Möbels an einem Untergrund gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, bei dem statt der oberen ersten Schraube 4 eine Mutter 15 und ein Gewindebolzen 18 vorgesehen sind. Die Mutter 15 ist dabei innerhalb einer nutförmigen Vertiefung einer Platte 5' angeordnet, wobei an einem Boden der nutförmigen Vertiefung ein Langloch 6 ausgespart ist. Das Langloch 6 besitzt eine Breite, die sich nur über einen Teil der Breite des Bodens der Vertiefung erstreckt, so dass die Mutter 15 unverlierbar in der nutförmigen Vertiefung gehalten ist. Die Breite der Vertiefung ist dabei so bemessen, dass die Mutter 15 gegen eine Drehbewegung blockiert ist. Durch das Eindrehen des Gewindebolzens 18 in die Mutter 15 kann anders als bei Verwendung einer starren Schraube eine gewisse axiale Verstellung des Gewindebolzens 18 vorgenommen werden, in dem die Eindrehtiefe des Gewindebolzens 18 in die Mutter 15 verändert wird. Dies bietet bei der Montage eine zusätzliche Verstellmöglichkeit.In the Figures 10A to 10C shows a device for fixing a piece of furniture to a base according to a further exemplary embodiment, in which instead of the upper first screw 4 a nut 15 and a threaded bolt 18 are provided. The nut 15 is arranged within a groove-shaped depression of a plate 5', with a slot 6 being cut out on a bottom of the groove-shaped depression. The slot 6 has a width that only extends over part of the width of the bottom of the depression, so that the nut 15 is held captive in the groove-shaped depression. The width of the depression is dimensioned in such a way that the nut 15 is blocked against rotation. By screwing the threaded bolt 18 into the nut 15, a certain axial adjustment of the threaded bolt 18 can be made, in contrast to using a rigid screw, in which the screwing depth of the threaded bolt 18 is changed to the nut 15. This offers an additional adjustment option during assembly.

An der unteren Platte ist wie bei den vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispielen eine Schraube 4 montiert, deren Schraubenkopf in einer nutförmigen Vertiefung einer Platte 2' drehfest angeordnet ist, wobei statt der Schraube 4 optional ebenfalls eine Mutter mit einem darin eingedrehten Gewindebolzen vorgesehen werden kann.As in the previous exemplary embodiments, a screw 4 is mounted on the lower plate, the screw head of which is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner in a groove-shaped recess in a plate 2', with a nut with a threaded bolt screwed into it also optionally being able to be provided instead of the screw 4.

Für die Montage wird die Platte 5' an einem Boden eines Möbelkorpus befestigt., wobei in die Vertiefung an der Platte 5' eine Mutter 15 eingelegt ist. Die untere Patte 2' wird an einem Untergrund 13 fixiert, wobei die Langlöcher 3 und 6 winklig zueinander ausgerichtet werden, vorzugsweise in einem Winkel größer 60°. Nach dem Aufstellen des Möbelkorpus kann der Höhe h zwischen dem Boden und dem Untergrund 13 gemessen werden um die Länge des Gewindebolzens 18 zu schneiden. Dann kann der Gewindebolzen 18 in die Mutter 15 eingedreht werden.For assembly, the plate 5' is fastened to a base of a piece of furniture, with a nut 15 being inserted into the recess on the plate 5'. The lower panel 2' is fixed to a base 13, with the elongated holes 3 and 6 being aligned at an angle to one another, preferably at an angle greater than 60°. After the furniture body has been erected, the height h between the floor and the substructure 13 can be measured in order to cut the length of the threaded bolt 18 . Then the threaded bolt 18 can be screwed into the nut 15.

Die Schraube 4 und der Gewindebolzen 18 werden dann entlang der Langlöcher 3 und 6 verschoben, bis die Längsachsen der Schraube 4 und des Gewindebolzen 18 im Wesentlichen fluchten, wie dies in den Figuren 11A bis 11C gezeigt ist. Eine Stirnseite des Gewindebolzen 18 und der Schraube 4 sind in einem Abstand b angeordnet, beispielsweise zwischen 1mm bis 4mm. Auf den Gewindebolzen 18 werden zwei Muttern 12 und 16, sowie ein Verbindungselement 80 in Form einer Langmutter, also einer Mutter mit etwas größerer Erstreckung in Längsrichtung, aufgeschraubt. Die Mutter 12 wird dann als Kontermutter eingesetzt, um den Gewindebolzen 18 klemmend an der Patte 5' festzulegen.The screw 4 and the threaded bolt 18 are then displaced along the elongated holes 3 and 6 until the longitudinal axes of the screw 4 and the threaded bolt 18 are essentially aligned, as is shown in FIGS Figures 11A to 11C is shown. An end face of the threaded bolt 18 and the screw 4 are arranged at a distance b, for example between 1 mm and 4 mm. Two nuts 12 and 16 and a connecting element 80 in the form of a long nut, ie a nut with a somewhat larger extension in the longitudinal direction, are screwed onto the threaded bolt 18 . The nut 12 is then used as a lock nut to clamp the threaded bolt 18 to the panel 5'.

In einem weiteren Schritt wird die Mutter 10 als Kontermutter eingesetzt, um die Schraube 4 klemmend an der Patte 2' festzulegen. Ferner wird das Verbindungselement 80 in Form der Langmutter von dem Gewindebolzen 18 teilweise auf einen endseitigen Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 4 aufgeschraubt. Anschließend wird die Mutter 16 als Kontermutter eingesetzt und auf das Verbindungselement 80 aufgeschraubt, so dass das Spiel an dem Gewinde zwischen dem Verbindungselement 80 und dem Gewindebolzen 18 reduziert wird.In a further step, the nut 10 is used as a lock nut in order to clamp the screw 4 to the plate 2'. Furthermore, the connecting element 80 in the form of the long nut is partially screwed by the threaded bolt 18 onto an end-side threaded section of the screw 4 . The nut 16 is then used as a lock nut and screwed onto the connecting element 80 so that the play on the thread between the connecting element 80 and the threaded bolt 18 is reduced.

In den Figuren 13A und 13B ist eine Platte 2' oder 5' im Detail gezeigt. Die Platten 2' und 5' können baugleich ausgebildet sein. Die Platte 2' besitzt eine nutförmige Vertiefung 22', die durch Umformen hergestellt ist. An einem Boden der Vertiefung 22' ist ein Langloch 3 oder 6 ausgebildet, dessen Breite geringer ausgebildet ist als die Breite des Bodens. Die Tiefe der Vertiefung 22' ist so bemessen, dass die Mutter 15 darin drehfest eingefügt werden kann. Die Platte 2' besitzt mehrere Öffnungen 20 durch die Befestigungsmittel durchgesteckt werden können.In the Figures 13A and 13B a plate 2' or 5' is shown in detail. The plates 2' and 5' can be constructed in the same way. The plate 2' has a groove-shaped Depression 22', which is made by forming. A slot 3 or 6 is formed at a bottom of the depression 22', the width of which is made smaller than the width of the bottom. The depth of the recess 22' is dimensioned such that the nut 15 can be inserted therein in a rotationally fixed manner. The plate 2' has a plurality of openings 20 through which the fastening means can be inserted.

In den Figuren 14A bis 14C ist eine modifizierte Vorrichtung gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, bei dem verglichen mit dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 10A bis 10C statt der Mutter 15 und dem Gewindebolzen 18 eine Schraube 17 an der oberen Platte 5' vorgesehen ist. Die Schraube 17 liegt mir ihrem Kopf drehfest innerhalb der nutförmigen Vertiefung der Platte 5' und greift mit einem Gewindebolzen durch ein an einem Boden der nutförmigen Vertiefung vorgesehenen Langloch 6.In the Figures 14A to 14C 1 is shown a modified apparatus according to a further embodiment in which compared to the embodiment of FIG Figure 10A to 10C instead of the nut 15 and the threaded bolt 18, a screw 17 is provided on the upper plate 5'. The screw 17 lies with its head in a rotationally fixed manner within the groove-shaped depression of the plate 5' and engages with a threaded bolt through a slot 6 provided on a bottom of the groove-shaped depression.

Für die Montage der Vorrichtung wird die Schraube 17 mit dem Gewindebolzen in einer geeigneten Länge ausgewählt oder abgeschnitten, damit die Vorrichtung in der Höhe H montiert werden kann.For the assembly of the device, the screw 17 with the threaded bolt is selected in a suitable length or cut off so that the device can be mounted at the height H.

Nach dem Ausrichten der Schraube 17 an der Platte 5' und der unteren Schraube 4 an der Platte 2' bis die Längsachsen im Wesentlichen fluchten, kann wie bei dem vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispiel ein Verbindungselement 80 in Form einer Langmutter von dem Gewindebolzen der Schraube 17 auf den Gewindebolzen der Schraube 4 teilweise aufgeschraubt werden. Ferner wird die Position der Schraube 17 über die Mutter 12 als Kontermutter an der Patte 5' festgelegt. Die Schraube 4 wird über die Mutter 10 als Kontermutter klemmend an der Patte 2' festgelegt. Die Mutter 16 wird ebenfalls als Kontermutter eingesetzt und auf das Verbindungselement 80 aufgeschraubt, so dass das Spiel an dem Gewinde zwischen dem Verbindungselement 80 und dem Gewindebolzen der Schraube 17 reduziert wird. Die Reihenfolge der einzelnen Montageschritte ist dabei von Monteur beliebig ausführbar.After aligning the screw 17 on the plate 5' and the lower screw 4 on the plate 2' until the longitudinal axes are substantially aligned, a connecting element 80 in the form of a long nut can be attached to the threaded bolt of the screw 17 as in the previous exemplary embodiment screw 4 can be partially unscrewed. Furthermore, the position of the screw 17 is fixed via the nut 12 as a lock nut on the plate 5'. The screw 4 is clamped to the plate 2' via the nut 10 as a lock nut. The nut 16 is also used as a lock nut and is screwed onto the connecting element 80 so that the play on the thread between the connecting element 80 and the threaded bolt of the screw 17 is reduced. The sequence of the individual assembly steps can be carried out by the installer as desired.

In Figur 15A ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung zum Fixieren eines Möbels an einem Untergrund gezeigt, bei dem die Schraube 17 mit dem langen Gewindeabschnitt drehfest an der unteren Platte 2' gehalten ist. Eine Schraube 4 oder 7 mit kürzerem Gewindeabschnitt ist an der oberen Platte 5' drehfest gehalten, wobei an dem Gewindeabschnitt das Verbindungsmittel 80 in Form der Langmutter aufgedreht ist. Nach dem Auswählen oder Kürzen der Schraube 17 abhängig von der Höhe des Bodens 14 des Möbelkorpus wird die Platte 5' an dem Boden 14 verschraubt oder verklebt.In Figure 15A a further exemplary embodiment of a device for fixing a piece of furniture to a base is shown, in which the screw 17 with the long threaded section is held in a rotationally fixed manner on the lower plate 2'. A screw 4 or 7 with a shorter threaded section is held in a rotationally fixed manner on the upper plate 5', the connecting means 80 in the form of a long nut being screwed onto the threaded section. After selecting or shortening the screw 17, depending on the height of the floor 14 of the furniture body, the plate 5' is screwed or glued to the floor 14.

Die untere Einheit, mit der Platte 2', der Schraube 17 und zwei Muttern 12 und 16 kann dann in das Verbindungsmittel 80 eingedreht werden, wie dies in Figur 15B gezeigt ist. Der Kopf der Schraube 17 kann dabei soweit in das Verbindungselement 80 eingedreht werden, dass der Kopf den Untergrund kontaktiert oder ein oder wenige Millimeter über diesem angeordnet ist. In dieser Position lässt sich die untere Platte 2' über das Langloch 3 relativ zu der Schraube 17 verschieben.The lower unit, with the plate 2', the screw 17 and two nuts 12 and 16, can then be screwed into the connecting means 80, as shown in Fig Figure 15B is shown. The head of the screw 17 can be screwed into the connecting element 80 to such an extent that the head is in contact with the subsurface or is arranged one or a few millimeters above it. In this position, the lower plate 2' can be moved relative to the screw 17 via the slot 3.

Ferner kann in dieser Position noch ein Verkleben auf einem Untergrund 13 erfolgen, in dem die Platte 2' angehoben und/oder schräg gestellt wird, was durch das Langloch 3 möglich ist, das durch den Gewindeabschnitt der Schraube 17 durchgriffen ist. Die Unterseite der Platte 2'und/oder der Untergrund 13 unter die Platte 2' kann mit Klebemittel beschichtet werden, um dann die Platte 2' zu verkleben.Furthermore, in this position, gluing to a substrate 13 can also take place, in which the plate 2' is raised and/or inclined, which is possible through the elongated hole 3 through which the threaded section of the screw 17 passes. The underside of the plate 2' and/or the substrate 13 under the plate 2' can be coated with adhesive in order to then glue the plate 2'.

In Figur 15C ist die montierte Position gezeigt, in der die Platte 2' am Untergrund 13 festgelegt ist und die Verbindung der Platte 2' mit der Schraube 17 durch die Mutter 10 als Kontermutter gesichert ist. Eine optionale weitere Mutter 16 als Kontermutter sichert die Verbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement 80 und der Schraube 17.In Figure 15C the mounted position is shown, in which the plate 2' is fixed to the base 13 and the connection of the plate 2' to the screw 17 is secured by the nut 10 as a lock nut. An optional further nut 16 as a lock nut secures the connection between the connecting element 80 and the screw 17.

Optional kann an einer oder mehreren der Platten 2, 2', 5, 5' auch eine Mutter oder Schraube über Befestigungsmittel oder durch Kleben oder Schweißen fixiert sein. Dann kann an dieser Platte die Mutter fest oder verstellbar angeordnet sein, wobei auf ein Langloch 3 oder 6 und eine Vertiefung verzichtet werden kann.Optionally, a nut or screw can also be fixed to one or more of the plates 2, 2′, 5, 5′ using fastening means or by gluing or welding. Then the nut can be fixed or adjustable on this plate, with a slot 3 or 6 and a recess being able to be dispensed with.

Die obigen Ausführungsbeispiele können beliebig miteinander kombiniert werden. Zudem kann die in den Figuren gezeigt obere Anordnung einer Schraube 7, 7' oder eines Gewindebolzen 18 auch jeweils zusätzlich oder alternativ unten an der Platte eingesetzt werden.The above exemplary embodiments can be combined with one another as desired. In addition, the upper arrangement of a screw 7, 7′ or a threaded bolt 18 shown in the figures can also be used additionally or alternatively at the bottom of the plate.

Ein Gewindebolzen 18 oder eine Schraube muss nicht über die gesamte Länge des Bolzens ein Gewinde aufweisen. Vielmehr kann auch ein Abschnitt der Schraube des Gewindebolzens zylindrisch oder mit einer anderen Kontur ausgebildet sein.A threaded bolt 18 or screw need not be threaded the full length of the bolt. Rather, a section of the screw of the threaded bolt can also be designed cylindrically or with a different contour.

Zudem kann bei allen Ausführungsbeispielen die Anordnung der Platten 2, 2', 5 und 5' vertauscht werden, also die in der jeweiligen Figur oben angeordnete Platte 5, 5' kann unten am Untergrund fixiert werden und die unten angeordnete Platte 2, 2' kann oben angeordnet werden und am Möbelkorpus fixiert werden.In addition, the arrangement of the panels 2, 2′, 5 and 5′ can be reversed in all of the exemplary embodiments, i.e. the panel 5, 5′ arranged at the top in the respective figure can be fixed to the ground below and the panel 2, 2′ arranged below can arranged at the top and fixed to the furniture body.
