Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a built-in cabinet arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for assembling the built-in cabinet arrangement.

STATE OF THE ART

Built-in cupboard arrangements are built-in cupboards which are installed in wall niches or wall openings. The installation of such built-in cupboards is usually very complex, since mounting means are usually not directly accessible.

The problem also arises that the user-accessible front of the built-in cabinet must be aligned with the wall surface that surrounds the wall opening.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Starting from this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a built-in cabinet arrangement which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the built-in cabinet arrangement should allow simple assembly.

[0005] This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Accordingly, a built-in cabinet arrangement at least two stationary and spaced-apart bearing struts which laterally delimit a receiving space between the bearing struts, at least one fastening element, which is adjustably mounted on each of the bearing struts, with a stop surface on the front and a clamping surface on the rear, and a built-in cabinet which can be inserted into the receiving space between the bearing struts and has at least one stop surface which can be brought into contact with the stop surface of the fastening elements, and with at least one threaded opening with a tensioning screw mounted therein, which acts with the screw tip on the clamping surface of the fastening element.

The stop surfaces of the fasteners define a bearing level. The clamping surface is oriented at an angle at an angle to the bearing level, so that when the clamping screw is actuated, the built-in cabinet is displaced relative to the fastening element and the stop surface of the built-in cabinet is moved onto the stop surfaces of the fastening elements in such a way that the stop surfaces come into contact with one another can be brought, the installation cabinet being tensioned with respect to the fastening element when the tensioning screw is actuated further.

The interaction of the stop surfaces and the bracing of the built-in cabinet has the advantage that the built-in cabinet can be easily arranged on the stationary bearing struts in a few simple steps.

The bearing struts are preferably oriented in the vertical position in the installed position. The bearing struts can be part of the wall opening or laterally limit the wall opening.

The clamping screw can be rotated about a central axis. The central axis is parallel to the bearing plane or inclined at an angle to the clamping surface. As a result, when the clamping screw is actuated, the screw tip on the angularly inclined clamping surface will slide away from the stop surface of the fastening element, as a result of which the built-in cabinet will correspondingly shift in the direction of the stop surface of the fastening element.

Preferably, the clamping screw acts with its screw tip on the clamping surface, the screw tip being convexly rounded or conical. The force required to actuate the screw can be reduced by the appropriate design of the screw tip, which is in contact with the clamping surface.

Preferably, the stop surface on the built-in cabinet is provided by a flange, which flange preferably extends completely around the built-in cabinet. The flange is preferably an integral part of the built-in cabinet.

The built-in cabinet preferably comprises at least one cabinet door. The cabinet door preferably has a mirror.

[0013] The built-in cabinet is preferably a built-in cabinet for the sanitary area.

Preferably, the fasteners are each slidably mounted in a longitudinal guide on the bearing strut such that the positions of the stop surfaces can be aligned to structural conditions. In particular, the fasteners can be aligned according to the structural conditions before installing the built-in cabinet. For example, the stop surface can be aligned flush with the surface of a wall in which the built-in cabinet is to be installed. This orientation allows the position of the cupboard to be determined accordingly.

Preferably, the stop surfaces are aligned flush with the surface of a wall in which the built-in cabinet arrangement is to be installed. The mounting level lies in the level of the wall surface.

The alignability has the advantage that the built-in cabinet can be installed aligned parallel to the wall. This means that any cabinet doors are parallel to the surface of the wall.

Said longitudinal guide is preferably oriented at right angles to the storage level.

[0018] The longitudinal guide is preferably provided by a plurality of stamping points in the bearing strut which are spaced apart from one another. The stamping points are pressed out of the bearing strut.

Preferably, the fastening elements each have a bearing section, a clamping section with said clamping surface and a spacing section, on the end face of which the stop surface is located, the clamping section being arranged between the bearing section and the spacing section.

Preferably, the fastening element has an elongated hole oriented at right angles to the bearing plane, a screw means extending through the elongated hole, with which the fastening element can be fixed to the bearing strut. This type of fastening has the advantage that the fastening element can be easily adjusted for the purpose of adjusting it.

The elongated hole is preferably oriented parallel to the longitudinal guide.

The screw means can be a screw which cooperates with a thread on the bearing strut. Alternatively, the screw means can be a threaded bolt fixed to the bearing strut with a threaded nut, the threaded nut being operable accordingly.

The length of the slot defines the maximum adjustability of the fasteners. The length of the elongated hole is preferably between 20 and 150 millimeters.

[0024] The built-in cabinet preferably has a threaded opening for each fastening element.

[0025] The at least one threaded opening is preferably mounted in a side wall of the built-in cabinet.

Preferably, the clamping screw has a screw head which can be rotated, preferably with a tool, the screw head being accessible from the inside of the built-in cabinet.

Preferably, the threaded opening is followed by a receiving space into which the clamping screw extends. The receiving space protects the clamping screw.

The clamping screw is particularly preferred in any position inside the receiving space, thereby protecting it from incorrect manipulation by users of the cabinet.

Preferably, the receiving space has a length which is greater than the length of the thread of the clamping screw, such that when the clamping screw is completely unscrewed, the clamping screw lies loosely in the receiving space. This prevents the threaded connection from being destroyed in the event of improper handling.

A fastening element is preferably arranged on one of the two bearing struts and two fastening elements are arranged on the other of the two bearing struts. There are three stop surfaces for the built-in cabinet. In another variant, exactly two or at least two fastening elements are arranged on each of the bearing struts.

[0031] The two bearing struts are preferably connected to one another via cross struts, in particular in such a way that a rectangular receiving space is created. The bearing struts and the cross struts define the receiving space in which the built-in cabinet is used.

[0032] The cross strut located below preferably has a bearing surface on which the built-in cabinet can rest. The mounting surface is essentially horizontal in the installed position.

The bearing struts preferably have mounting elements with which the bearing struts can be fastened to a mounting structure, such as to a mounting frame.

Preferably, the bearing struts further have a connection profile for connecting tiles.

The bearing struts and the fastening element are preferably designed as sheet metal parts which are produced using stamping and forming processes.

A method for assembling a built-in cabinet arrangement according to the above description is characterized in that that the two bearing struts are fixed in place, that the fastening elements are aligned with their stop surfaces, that the built-in cabinet is used in the recording room, that the clamping screws are tightened until the stop surface of the built-in cabinet rests on the stop surfaces of the fastening elements, and that the clamping screws for tightening the built-in cabinet are tightened further.

Further embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

The drawings show: <tb> Fig. 1 <SEP> is a perspective view of parts of a built-in cabinet assembly without the built-in cabinet; <tb> Fig. 2 <SEP> a further view of FIG. 1; <tb> Fig. 3 <SEP> is a perspective view of the built-in cabinet arrangement according to the previous figures with the built-in cabinet; <tb> Fig. 4 and 5 <SEP> detailed views of Figures 1 and 2; <tb> Fig. 6 <SEP> is a sectional view through the built-in cabinet arrangement according to the preceding figures; <tb> Fig. 7 and 8 <SEP> further sectional views.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In Figures 1 to 3 perspective views of a built-in cabinet arrangement 1 are shown. In Figures 1 and 2, the built-in cabinet arrangement 1 is shown without the built-in cabinet. 3 shows the built-in cabinet arrangement 1 with the built-in cabinet.

The built-in cabinet arrangement 1 comprises at least two fixed and spaced-apart bearing struts 2, at least one fastening element 4, which is adjustably mounted on each of the bearing struts 2, and a built-in cabinet 7. The built-in cabinet 7 is connected to the bearing struts 2 via the fastening element 4. The bearing struts 2 are typically in connection with further assembly elements, which in turn are firmly connected to a building.

The two bearing struts 2 laterally delimit a receiving space 3. In the embodiment shown, the receiving space 3 is additionally delimited by cross struts 22. The cross struts 22 are optional. The cross struts 22 are connected to the two bearing struts 2 and thus define a rectangular receiving space 3.

As mentioned, at least one adjustable mounting element 4 is arranged on each of the bearing struts 2. The fastening elements 4 are adjustable or displaceable relative to the bearing struts 2. In the embodiment shown, two fastening elements 4 are arranged on each of the bearing struts 2. However, it is also possible to provide three or even more fastening elements 4.

The fastening element 4 has a stop surface 5 on the front and a clamping surface 6 on the rear. The adjustability shifts the stop surface 5. FIGS. 1 and 4 show a first position of the fastening element 4. The stop surface 5 is very close to the receiving space 3. The fastener 4 can be shifted from this position. Figures 2 and 5 show a second position, in which the fastener 4 is in a front position. Here, the fastening element 4 protrudes further from the receiving space 3 compared to the position in FIGS. Due to the displaceability of the fastening element 4 relative to the bearing struts 2, the stop face 5 lying on the front can be correspondingly displaced with respect to the bearing struts 2 and with respect to the receiving space 3.

The adjustability of the installation position of the built-in cabinet 7 with respect to a wall W can be achieved by the displaceability. The stop surface 5 is preferably aligned flush with the surface of the wall W.

The built-in cabinet 7 also has at least one stop surface 8. The stop surface 8 can be brought into contact with the stop surfaces 5 of the fastening element 4. Due to the displaceability of the stop surface 5 of the fastening element 4, the position of the built-in cabinet 7 can accordingly be adjusted accordingly. The stop faces 5 of the fastening elements 4 span a bearing plane E. Storage level E essentially defines the position of the built-in cabinet.

FIG. 6 shows a sectional illustration of the built-in cabinet arrangement 1. The built-in cabinet 7 further comprises a threaded opening 9 with a tension screw 10 mounted therein. The tension screw 10 has, in addition to a threaded section 26, a screw tip 11 which acts on the tension surface 6 of the fastening element 4. In Figure 6, the built-in cabinet is used in the receiving space 3. The two stop surfaces 5, 8 are in contact with one another and the clamping screw 10 is still in the starting position. The clamping screw 10 is then screwed into the threaded opening 9 and the screw tip 11 comes into contact with the clamping surface 6 of the fastening element 4. This contact is shown in Figure 7. The clamping surface 6 is oriented at an angle α at an angle to the bearing plane E. The angular inclination is such that when the tensioning screw is actuated, the built-in cabinet 7 is displaced relative to the fastening element, so that the abutment surface 8 of the built-in cabinet 7 is moved onto the abutment surfaces 5 of the fastening elements 4, in such a way that the abutment surfaces 5, 8 can be brought into contact with each other, the built-in cabinet 7 being braced with respect to the fastening element when the clamping screw 10 is actuated further. If the clamping screw 7 is now tightened, the contact point between the screw tip 11 and the clamping surface 6 moves in the direction of the arrow P, which is shown in FIG. 7. As a result, the entire built-in cabinet 7 is displaced in the direction of arrow P and the stop surface 8 of the built-in cabinet 7 is clamped against the stop surface 5 of the fastening element 4.

The situation in FIG. 7 is shown in FIG. Different from FIG. 7 is the position of the fastening element 4, which here lies in a front end position. The built-in cupboard 7 does not extend as far into the receiving space 3 as in FIG. 7.

Preferred features of the built-in cabinet arrangement 1 are explained in more detail below with reference to all of the FIGS. 1 to 8.

The clamping screw 10 can be rotated or pivoted about a central axis M. The central axis M lies parallel to the bearing plane .E or inclined at an angle β to the clamping surface 6. Because of the orientation of the clamping screw 10, said displacement of the built-in cabinet 7 along the direction P is achieved. The screw tip 12 is conical in the embodiment shown.

The stop surface 8 on the built-in cupboard 7 is provided here by a flange 30 which is essentially completely circumferential around the built-in cupboard 7. The flange 30 is an integral part of the built-in cabinet 7. However, the flange 30 can also be covered with an elastic element 31. The stop surface 8 is then provided by the elastic element 31. The elastic element 31 can be a foam, for example. The stop surface 5 can also be part of the flange 30.

The built-in cupboard 7 has at least one cupboard door 32 which closes the interior of the built-in cupboard 7 at the front. When the cabinet door 32 is open, the interior and the clamping screws 10 are accessible.

In the embodiment shown, the built-in cabinet 7 is a mirror cabinet. The cabinet door 32 is preferably mirrored.

As can be clearly seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 as well as 4 and 5, the fastening elements 4 are each slidably mounted in a longitudinal guide 13 on the bearing strut 2. The actuating elements 4 with the stop faces 5 can be displaced in relation to the fixed bearing strut 2 due to the displaceability in the longitudinal guide 13 in such a way that different thicknesses of the wall W can be compensated for. This compensation is shown in Figures 7 to 8. In FIG. 7, the fastening element 4 with the stop surface 5 is advanced so far that the stop surface 5 is flush with the surface of the wall W. The same applies to the configuration as shown in FIG. 8. This means that the abutment surfaces 5 of the fastening elements 4 are aligned flush with the surface of a wall W into which the built-in cabinet arrangement is to be installed. The assembly level E then lies in the plane of the wall surface. This alignability has the advantage that on the one hand the built-in cabinet 7 can be aligned parallel to the wall and on the other hand the distance of the built-in cabinet 7 with respect to the wall surface can be adjusted.

The longitudinal guides 13 are oriented at right angles to the bearing plane E in the embodiment shown. The longitudinal guides 13 are provided in the bearing point 2 by a plurality of stamping points 14 which are spaced one behind the other. This means that the embossing points 14 are embossed out of the bearing strut 2 and thus form a corresponding guide channel for receiving parts of the fastening elements 4.

In the embodiment shown, the fastening elements 4 each have a bearing section 15 for fastening and mounting the fastening element 4 on the bearing strut 2, a clamping section 16 with the said clamping surface 6 and a spacing section 17, on the end face of which the stop surface 5 is located. The tensioning section 16 lies between the bearing section 15 and the spacing section 17. The bearing section 15 slides in the longitudinal guide 13 and essentially has a width which corresponds to the longitudinal guide 13.

In the embodiment shown, an elongated hole 18 is further arranged in the bearing section 15. The slot 18 is oriented perpendicular to the bearing plane E or parallel to the alignment of the longitudinal guide 13. A screw means 19 extends through the elongated hole 18. In the embodiment shown, the screw means 19 is a threaded bolt 20 which projects from the bearing strut 2 and projects through the elongated hole 18. The screw means 19 further comprises a threaded nut 21 which is in a threaded connection with the threaded bolt. By tightening the threaded nut 21, it acts on the bearing section 15 of the fastening element 4 and thus fixes the position of the fastening element 4 relative to the bearing strut 2.

The length of the elongated hole 18 defines the maximum adjustability of the fastening elements 4. The length of the elongated hole is particularly preferably between 20 and 150 millimeters.

In the embodiment shown, the built-in cabinet 7 has one threaded opening 9 per fastening element 4. This means that there is a clamping screw 10, which acts on a clamping surface 6 in each case.

In the embodiment shown, the threaded opening 9 is mounted in a side wall 24 of the built-in cabinet 7. The clamping screw 10 has a screw head 29 which can be rotated with a tool. The screw head 29 is correspondingly accessible from the interior of the built-in cabinet 7. This accessibility is shown in Figures 7 and 8. Here, the clamping screw 10 lies in a receiving space 25 which is accessible from the interior 33 of the built-in cabinet. The receiving space 25 adjoins the threaded opening 9 and the clamping screw 10 extends into the receiving space 25. The storage of the clamping screw 10 in the receiving space 25 has the advantage that the clamping screw 10 as such is protected from external influences.

The receiving space 22 has a length which is greater than the length of the thread 26 of the clamping screw 10. Here, when the clamping screw 10 is completely unscrewed from the threaded opening 9, the clamping screw 10 is loosely received in the receiving space 22. This is shown in Figure 6. Due to a narrowing of the cross-section of the receiving space 22 relative to the threaded opening 9, the clamping screw 10 cannot fall out of the receiving space 22.

In the embodiment shown, the lower bearing strut 22 further has a bearing surface 23. The built-in cabinet 7 can rest on this bearing surface 23.

The bearing struts 2 also have mounting elements 27 with which the bearing struts 2 can be fastened to a mounting structure, for example to a mounting frame mounted behind a front wall.

Furthermore, the bearing struts 2 comprise an optional connection profile 28 for connecting the tiles. The connection profile 28 is essentially an angle profile which can be connected to the built-in cabinet 7 or which is integrally formed on the bearing strut 2.

A method for assembling a built-in cabinet arrangement according to the above description is characterized in that that the two bearing struts 2 are fixed in place, that the fastening elements 4 are aligned with their stop surfaces 5, that the built-in cabinet 7 is inserted into the receiving space 3, that the clamping screws 10 are tightened until the stop surface 8 of the built-in cabinet 7 rest on the stop surfaces 5 of the fastening elements 4, and that the clamping screws 10 are further tightened to brace the built-in cabinet 7.
