Height-adjustable support leg in the form of ainea base connector for cabinet furniture with front panels.

The innovation concerns a vertically adjustable support leg of square or rectangular cross-section in Form of a base connector for cabinet furniture with front panels.

Support feet for cupboards or the like. Furniture are well known. Differences are also made on the corners Furniture arranged separate support feet and those that are designed as a circumferential base, which at the same time as a panel between the floor and the actual Furniture body is used. On the other hand, the connection between the support feet arranged at the corner is made in the Usually via plug-in panels that can be detachably connected to the separate support feet.

^{When the furniture Bl} connected to the separate support feet is set up for the first time, it often happens that the floor is not exactly level at the point where the furniture is to be installed, so that precautionary measures must be taken. to provide another support foot with an additional pad to ensure the stability of the furniture. DiBBe pad can either be detachably or permanently connected to the underside of the respective support leg. The disadvantages which such a procedure entails when setting up a piece of furniture, in particular a piece of cupboard furniture, are known.

To facilitate the setting up of furniture is a Support foot has become known, eats dBr adjustable in height. This support leg consists essentially from a furniture foot provided with a vertical internal thread, in each case arranged on the corner of the furniture, and aspartame designed as a support. The threaded bolt is provided at its lower end with a plastic cap ala featB or rotatable pressure plate, with the bolt at the upper end over the Furniture foot accessible slot for height adjustment

is provided .

The disadvantage of the known support leg is that a height adjustment is only possible from the cabinet. MöbelinnBrn can be made from. Particularly in the case of a subsequent alignment of bines that have already been classified and loaded, or Cabinet compartment this is associated with difficulties. Another disadvantage is that the threaded bolts in the support foot with only a small contact surface can cause damage to the floor.

Knowing these shortcomings, the inventor set himself the task of creating an improved embodiment to reveal a support leg, which does not suffer from the disadvantages indicated.

Starting from an adjustable support leg from square or rectangular cross-section in the form of a base connector in cupboard furniture with front panels, this object is achieved according to the invention by a formed in the longitudinal direction of the support foot according to

According to a further feature it is provided that the screw connection from one with the Ziehkßil firmly connected screw bolt guided in a vertical slot with attached wing screw, hexagon nut or knurled nut consists,

Advantageously, dBr SBparatB has a sliding block Faderelaments held in place by vertical grooves on both sides with an upper sloping support surface which are inserted into guide grooves in the support leg. On the shell side, the support leg has one or more openings of round or rectangular cross-section and / or. Spigot to hold the front panels.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the support leg has a cover plate on the top for attachment to the cabinet, the cover plate and support foot feat are connected to each other. The support foot with cover plate, Kulisaenstein and draw wedge is made of wood, Plastic or light metal.

The following description serves to explain the according to the innovation, an embodiment of which is shown in the drawings. Ea show:

In dan Fig. 1 bia let k represents neuerungBgamSßB formed as Sockelvarbinder referred höhenvarstellbare StDtzfuß 1. The support foot 1 has a square cross-section and has a downwardly open, likewise square guide shaft 1 which is formed in the longitudinal direction. In the guide shaft 1, which is provided with a flat bevel 1 on the other side, a separate sliding block 2 with angled support fish 2 is arranged on the upper side, which is height-adjustable within a predetermined lifting path ObBr a sliding drawbar 3 supported ^{on the support surface 2 1 (arrows)} .

The separate link 2 with the inclined support surface 2 arranged on the top is supported in continuous grooves 2 which run vertically on both sides and which are tucked into vertically delimited guide grooves 1 in the support foot. The guide grooves 1 limit the height adjustability of the support foot 1 or the sliding block 2.

To achieve a height adjustment is fixed with the already mentioned draw cell. 3, whose HBhe in relation to his Direction of drawing etuia smaller iat by half than the width

The advantages achieved with the innovation compared to the Knowns can be seen in particular in the fact that with little material and manufacturing costs a height-adjustable, at the same time designed as a base connector Support foot for furniture, especially cabinet furniture, is created, with appropriate dimensioning and suitable length its memory material can easily be assigned to large as well as small, light or heavy furniture. A piece of furniture equipped with such support feet can be calibrated Set up firmly on practically any floor, uiobn Alignment of the furniture in the simplest possible way can also be done from the outside afterwards when the furniture is already under load can.

Another advantage is in the additional bracket for To see the blind cover, which can also be easily and effortlessly installed and aligned with the floor.

It goes without saying that the innovation does not apply to what is shown Embodiment is limited. As part of the innovation the support foot could have any other cross-section, e.g. rectangular, in order to achieve larger ones od. Smaller height adjustability, the support surfaces on the draw wedge and the sliding block could be designed with a larger or smaller slope bziu. the draw key only on one side
