Description

The invention relates to an assembly device and a method for assembly of furniture and wash basin elements on a wall.

Furniture, bathroom furnishings, washing area elements etc. usually have to can be mounted on the walls of a bathroom or other room. To do this, holes must be drilled in the walls, dowels screwed in and the Cupboards can be aligned very precisely. This happens very often Errors, and the operations must be repeated, what for stability the walls are unfavorable and after disassembly and new installation a few years (for example when moving house) to very annoying damage in the Walls, often also on the furniture. In addition, the bathrooms very inflexible in this way: once mounted on a wall Closet, a washstand or the like is only very difficult again exchange or re-furnish with another.

It is therefore known to provide assembly facilities that need refurnishing or exchange of furniture. From DE 29 49 833 A1 a device for hanging small pieces of furniture on a wall, known for use in a hotel room. This facility has one Wall plate that is placed in front of the actual wall. On the back becomes a distance to the Wall created. The small furniture shows on its back in the upper Area a support bar attached to a sliding plate, which with Provide rollers or rails for rolling or sliding on the track is. The track is formed as a joint in which the rails or rollers are let it move across. The back wall of the small piece of furniture and that of the wall Front wall plate lie against each other, which means that the small furniture its rear wall is supported.

DE 76 37 651 U1 is a fitting for the wall-side suspension of Wall cabinets or shelves, for example, for hanging in the kitchen or Bad known. Such a fitting is very expensive. He instructs conical backdrop part with suspension device at the end. The End suspension device is, for example, as a U-shaped rail trained, which overlaps a rail attached to the wall. The on the Wall-mounted rail must have a joint, since the U-shaped Rail of the end suspension device a nose-shaped area which engages in this joint. The rail with the joint will For example, made as a wall plate or wide bar and on the wall in corresponding area above, where the wall units are attached should be attached by screws or the like. The upper cabinet is supported then with a section of its rear wall on this rail.

The US-PS 5,050,832 also shows a rail attached to the wall, in the pieces of furniture can be hung. For this purpose, the Furniture pieces are provided according to hanging devices. The rail is designed as a C-beam, with the base fixed to the wall with screws is mounted. From the upper leg protruding from the wall is again by 90 °, i.e. parallel to the wall, an upward bend is provided. Exactly this kink the suspension devices are hung.

DE 41 14 378-A1 shows a cabinet suspension device, shows Rail holder that overlaps a hanging rail and on the wall hold tight. The rail holder can be in relation to the rail in front of the Postpone assembly. After using the rail holders on the rail Is attached to the wall, furniture can be strung and hung on it. Similar to DE 29 49 833-A1, the pieces of furniture must now be one Maintain distance from the wall and form a cavity there. The rail comprehensive rail holder also prevent any flexibility in the Suspension of the pieces of furniture, since these in turn are now on the rail rail bracket protruding forward must be taken into account.

DE 25 22 098 A1 describes an animal cage holding device for wall cultivation known. This animal cage holding device has mounting brackets, which can be attached to the corresponding wall with their flanges. Hairpin-shaped support bracket with positioning pins in an attached Retaining members are shaped so that animal cages can be hung in them. The positioning pins engage in corresponding rows of holes in support strips that can be attached to the wall using the mounting brackets. A backup is then done by screwing the support bar and angle profile together connect. Refurnishing is difficult.

In contrast, the object of the invention is to provide more flexible installation options for furniture and / or washing area elements on a wall, especially in bathrooms, that do not lose space by hanging the furniture in front of one Cause mounting wall or the like to propose.

This object is achieved by a mounting device with a parallel to the Wall to be arranged horizontally elongated support element with its location essentially constant cross-sectional structure, with one or more with connected to the carrier element, but longitudinally displaceable to this stored wall fasteners, which the support element on the wall hold, with one or more hanging elements leading to the support element longitudinally displaceable and releasably suspended on this or releasable on this are attached, wherein they grip the support element in a form-fitting manner and with are each connected to a piece of furniture or washing area element, the or the hanging elements so in the back wall of furniture or Washing place element are incorporated, and so reach behind the support element, that the respective rear wall is flush with the wall.

Furthermore, it is solved by a method in which an elongated support element horizontally and parallel to the wall initially kept free and aligned is then connected to the carrier element, but to this Longitudinally displaceably mounted wall fastening element so long until it is attached to a suitable location on the wall there and the same process, if necessary, with additional wall fastening elements is carried out, then furniture and / or Wash basin elements with integrated in them, to the support element adapted hanging elements releasably suspended on the carrier element or be attached to this.

This makes an extremely flexible, but nevertheless stable mounting option created. Instead of mounting every single piece of furniture on the wall, is a support element in front of the wall approximately horizontal and parallel to Wall held. It is easy to balance, unevenness of the Wall can be leveled and hardly play a role.

It proves to be particularly advantageous that the carrier element only in a predetermined height arranged on the wall, which hung on this Furniture and / or washing area elements, however, completely different heights can have. This is preferably done by changing the mounting height of the hanging element within the rear wall of the piece of furniture or Washing place element enables.

Longitudinally displaceable to the carrier element, but connected to it, preferred in that it runs like a rider in the support element, are wall fastening elements available. First one of these wall fasteners is moved in the carrier element until it is in one place where attachment is the goal. There is this wall fastener screwed into the wall. Before that, it is possible to get detailed to be convinced that at this point, for example, no electrical Lines are located and on the other hand given the required load-bearing capacity is, and also to determine that the height is the exact target.

Depending on the length of the support element, additional wall fastening elements can now be used can also be moved and screwed to the wall. A unique one Balance with e.g. a spirit level is enough to ensure horizontality to ensure the carrier element.

Once this step has been completed, there is a stably mounted, exactly horizontal and extremely solid support element construction.

Furniture pieces can now be hung on or attached to this support element become. For this purpose, these pieces of furniture have one or more hanging elements, adapted according to the outer contour of the carrier element are and embrace this form-fitting.

These hanging elements are preferably an integral part of the piece of furniture, in particular part of the back wall. Such training is for example also possible for a washstand with a wash basin inside. In they are a corresponding metal profile wall part of a piece of furniture preferably incorporated into this, in particular by appropriate Laser out.

These hanging elements are in turn longitudinally displaceable on the carrier element. Above all, this means that their position is not immovable and permanent is fixed, as is the case with conventional furniture wall fastenings. Instead, they can be moved or removed if necessary and be replaced without causing any wall damage leads.

For example, an initially small household with a sink and a small base cabinet, but later easily additional hang a smaller closet next to it and later through one replace the larger one, the smaller one may be hung on the other side be etc.

In the bathroom area in particular, there is often only a small depth of space available. In contrast to the entire state of the art, the hanging element is not bulging outwards, but in the back wall of the piece of furniture or The washing area element is worked in, closes the rear wall flush with the wall. This is only the really usable cabinet or wash basin element depth arranged in the room. The for So available space can, also due to the free Movability of the furniture, optimally used.

Also the attachment of any water connections, other external connections etc. is easily possible: Due to the easy movability, the Simply slide the vanity into position until it is where the connection this makes sense.

The carrier element is particularly preferably a tubular one Construction mainly circular outer cross-section.

It has proven very useful if this is circular, largely inside hollow cross section is slotted at the bottom. In the slot, which is then along the tube is continuous, a rider element of the wall fastening element to run. This tab element can also have a circular structure have a correspondingly smaller circle diameter than the circle diameter of the tubular support member. The two circular ones Cross sections then run into each other, the inside of the rider element itself continues down through the slot and there, for example, in a flat wall parallel plate merges. This plate, for example, 2 cm x 2 The fastening part penetrating into the wall can then in turn be cm in size wear, for example a correspondingly massive screw. The wall distance is preferably by a spacer element on the back of the Plate created through which the fastening part is inserted.

The carrier element can be made particularly stable when in the otherwise hollow cross-section opposite the slot itself up to in particular rib element extending to the center of the circle is provided, which then also passes along the carrier element. This increases the torsional rigidity of the otherwise slotted tubular element considerable and can also support the rider element and protect against bending.

In particular, however, it increases the load-bearing capacity of the carrier element the load placed on it by the hanging elements from above. The The force exerted by them becomes particularly good and even in this way dissipated.

At the same time, the force exerted from above leads to a very light one "Squeezing" the cross section of the support element in the loaded area. This leads to self-locking of the hung furniture and others Objects against the undesirable during practical use Longitudinal displacement.

After relieving the load, i.e. when the furniture is lifted slightly in the Displacement, this cross-sectional change reflects itself and enables The move.

This mounting option is particularly suitable for use in the bathroom or sanitary area. But it is also very advantageous in the rest of the living area or usable in kitchens. This proves to be particularly advantageous Support element also in the handicapped area as a handrail or in the bathroom as an additional bath bar for bath towels. Preferably for the two an extended spacer element provided, that is, a distance greater than 5-6 mm, for example off the wall. It is particularly advantageous that after a single Align (with a spirit level) when attaching the support element a wall afterwards for hanging the furniture etc. no specialist more is needed. Likewise, in contrast to the usual Furniture wall fastenings, hanging done by one person. At a possible move away after dismantling all parts, including of the support element, very few holes in the wall that are effortless can be filled in again when renovating.

Figure 1 shows a section through an assembly device, after which all the elements are assembled and the furniture is mounted on the wall 50. In the illustration you have to imagine the wall on the right. The cut is perpendicular to the wall.

The essence of the invention runs parallel to the wall and horizontally, that is it Carrier element 10. The carrier element 10 is tubular and essentially has one circular cross section and has a cavity 11 on the inside. The carrier element 10 is slotted at the bottom; the slot 12 is in the Representation filled by another element to be described later, but recognizable. The cross section is over the entire length of the carrier element essentially of the same shape, he can, if necessary, to the Pipe ends of the support member 10 closed by plugs or in some other way his.

A stabilizing rib part protrudes exactly opposite the slot 12, that is to say from above 13 into the cavity 11.

The entire tubular or rod-like support element 10 can be used in the intended Installation on the wall initially aligned freely in front of this wall and tried out at what height and position it should be installed. Is this position is held approximately, so is another element of the invention used, namely the wall fastening element 20th

The wall fastening element 20 is longitudinally displaceable in the carrier element 10 arranged. In the embodiment shown, it consists of a small one square plate 21, the diagonal of which is approximately as large or somewhat is larger than the diameter of the carrier element 10.

The material of the plate 21 is, like that of the carrier element 10, stainless steel or another stable metal or other material. The plate 21 protrudes its uppermost edge through the slot 12 into the cavity 11 inside the Carrier element 10. There, the plate 21 is connected to a pipe section 22. This piece of pipe is approximately as long as the plate 21 extends in the longitudinal direction, also has a circular cross-section and is with its outer diameter adapted approximately to the inside diameter of the carrier element 10. The Plate 21 and the tube piece 22 together form a rider element 23. By the widening of the pipe section 22 relative to the slot 12 will Rider element 23 captively held in the carrier element 10. The tab element 23 is thereby mounted in the carrier element 10 so as to be longitudinally displaceable, but at the same time holds this on the wall 50. The pipe section 22 is in interrupted its upper part so that the stabilizing rib part 13 of the Carrier element 10 can protrude. This break 26 of the top Half of the pipe section 22 is so narrow, however, that the Inside of the carrier element 10 on the outside of the pipe section 22 can support if force is exerted from above.

Before final assembly, however, this rider element 23 can now and then can be pushed here and a location in the wall area can be selected on which the rider element 23 would be optimally placed, for example for reasons of stability or because there are no cables in the wall. If this place is found becomes a perpendicular to the plate 21 which protrudes and is held in it Fastening device 24, in particular a screw, in the wall 50 anchored. In the illustration in Figure 1, this screw is for the sake of simplicity only indicated by its screw axis; it would go further than right protrude to be anchored in the wall, for example in one there provided dowels (also not shown).

The fastening device 24 also projects through the plate 21 a spacer element 25 which defines the distance of the plate 21 from the wall, so that the support element 10 is free above the plate 21 in space and not directly adjacent to the wall.

After mounting the wall mounting element 20, another such Wall fastening element in the carrier element 10 also shifted longitudinally until it is in a suitable place. Then it will attached there. So that the support element is in its height position and its Distance set in front of the wall. The carrier element 10 could now still be used themselves to be pushed back and forth if this is in view of its extension is intended. With particularly long support elements 10 a third or further wall fastening elements 20 could be provided become. If an element of the carrier element 10 is open at the end, these can Wall mounting elements can be pushed in until installation.

Furniture pieces can now be variably placed on the support element arranged in this way. or be appended. A hanging element 30 is provided for this purpose. The hanging element 30 is approximately C-shaped in cross section. The side of the hanging element 30 facing the wall is essentially open. The top has a section 31 which is the carrier element 10 overlaps from above and is adjusted in this area so that it rests positively on the carrier element 10. The wall 50 Area 32 facing away is perpendicular to the surface and goes down into one horizontally extending section 34.

The overall construction of the hanging member 30 is also over a certain one Uniform length. The hanging element 30 is more integrated Part of a piece of furniture that you can imagine in Figure 1 left Has. It is therefore part of a rear wall of one Piece of furniture or even around the entire back wall of a piece of furniture if it is around a flat piece of furniture located approximately at the height of the support element, such as for example, a washstand. The hanging element 30 can also part of a profile part of a piece of furniture and lasered from it or be cut out by another method.

Figures 2 and 3 show the carrier element 10 in a perspective view. Above all in FIG. 3, the tubular shape of the carrier element 10 with its essentially circular cross-section, the inner cavity 11 , the elongated slot 12 on the underside of the tubular shape and the stabilizing rib 13, which also protrudes from above, can be clearly seen. In the slot runs the wall fastening element 20, of which only the plate 21 and - facing away from the viewer - the spacer element 25 extending towards the rear of the wall can be seen in FIG. 3. In FIG. 2 in a perspective representation from another direction - as it were seen from the wall - the spacer element 25 turns towards the viewer and its structure can be seen more clearly. Axially through the spacer element 25 and thus perpendicularly through the plate 21, a bore 27 is provided for the screw, which is also omitted here, and which anchors the wall fastening element 20 to the wall. From the rim of the bore 27 to the rim of the spacer element 25, ribs 28 are provided in a line alignment, which form an internal stiffening of the spacer element.

The wall fastening element 20 with the plate 21 can be as described above can be moved relative to the carrier element 10 parallel to its axis. That located in the inner cavity 21 of the carrier element 10 and therefore in FIGS. 2 and 3 not recognizable tubular, in Support element axis direction only approximately the length dimensions of the plate 21 having rider element 23 enables this displaceability simultaneous protection against falling out and falling.

FIG. 4 illustrates the overall structure in a perspective view corresponding to FIG. 1. In addition to support element 10 and plate 21 with spacer element 25, in particular the hanging element 30 already suspended here on tubular support element 10 can be seen. The pieces of furniture, wash basin and other furnishing elements connected to the hanging element 30, which are fastened to the wall with the inventive concept, are omitted here for the sake of clarity. They would now be in front of the carrier element 10 for the viewer in FIG.

The nose-shaped part 35 of the section 31 that engages behind the carrier element of the hanging element 30 is in particular only 5-6 mm deep and is attached to the not shown wall. Aligned with this is the back wall of the Piece of furniture etc. provided. The hanging element is in the piece of furniture etc. integrated, so that the entire back wall is flush against the wall can.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show the hanging element 30 separately for clarification. It is shown here as a mirror image of Figure 1, that is, the wall would be here on the left side after assembly, the piece of furniture rather on the right. The exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5 shows a surface area 41 of the piece of furniture 40 which ends flush with the section 31 and forms a common horizontal plane. This could, for example, be a washstand. This can be removed from the carrier element or hung on this carrier element again at another location. In the flat vertical area 32 of the hanging element 30 facing the piece of furniture, an opening 36 and a fastening device 33 are provided, with which the hanging element 30 becomes an integral part of the piece of furniture 40.

FIG. 6 shows a slightly modified embodiment in which the piece of furniture does not end flush at the top with the upper flat edge of the hanging element 30, but in which the hanging element is integrated in the piece of furniture 40 both above and below. This can be a continuous closet, for example; Such a thing can also be exchangeably mounted on a wall with the same support element. This embodiment of the hanging element 30 differs by the rounded edges 37 on the section 31, which facilitate installation in a corresponding piece of furniture. By installing the hanging element, which preferably has the same length as the width of the piece of furniture, at different heights within the respective pieces of furniture, Different heights of furniture can be created and attached to one and the same support element (ie a fixed height of the support element above the floor).

The appearance of a fully assembled bathroom device is shown in FIG. 7 purely by way of example. One recognizes the tubular shape of the support element 10 which forms the structure, but which remains very shapely in the background. Several pieces of furniture 40 and other objects are lined up on this carrier element; they could be moved in front of the wall 50, but they are kept stable by their own weight. Moving is possible by lifting it slightly. Also a complete removal from the device and a removal from the wall in the case of an intended new furnishing can take place easily and by the owner himself, without any greater specialist knowledge, if the piece of furniture in question is simply raised so far that the hanging element moves up and down from the carrier element 10 let down in front. Conversely, of course, other or additional pieces of furniture 40 can easily be added between the existing ones by hanging the C-shaped hanging elements in the carrier element 10.

If the wall 50 has any unevenness, there can be in the rear wall the furniture or objects clamping elements, especially screws, in Upper and lower areas 60, 61 can be provided. By tightening the Screws can then clamp the rear wall against the wall 50 generate, the connection of hanging element and support element rigid Crease line is.
