Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a corner connector, e.g. for modular furniture systems or the like, according to the preamble of the independent claim.
  • corner connectors and modular furniture systems are known from the prior art. Especially with metal corner connectors, there is a great variety. These are usually machined by machining methods and fastened by screw or clamp connections. Corner connectors made of thermoplastic materials such as plastics and the like, which are produced by injection molding are few known, although the production is much cheaper, especially for large quantities.
  • US4354768 by Joseph I. Witek was published in 1982 and concerns a plastic corner joint for connecting pipes.
  • This corner connector has a cube-shaped base body with a leg formed thereon.
  • the corner connector is made of a comparatively soft material, so that more legs can be unscrewed for the effective connection of other tubes by self-tapping screws.
  • a disadvantage is that the corner connector offers little strength due to the soft material.
  • Another disadvantage is that by screwing the self-tapping screws there is a risk that the corner connector is split.
  • WO08062161 from Tecna Display Ltd. was published in 2008 and shows a cube-shaped corner connector for the construction of three-dimensional structures, such as those used in stand construction.
  • the corner connector consists of a cube which is connected to a bayonet-like manner with attached at the ends of rods star-shaped closure elements. To connect the closure elements are rotated by an angle in the corner connector plugged in to then be arrested by an opposite movement.
  • the corner connector has rear handles, which are difficult to produce. For this reason, the corner connector must be made in several parts, otherwise it can not be removed from the mold.
  • EP0843103 from the company Robert Bosch GmbH was published in 1998 and is directed to a profile connection, which is suitable for protection and separation devices as well as for racks and shelves.
  • the device has corner connectors, which serve for the active connection of profile rails.
  • the corner connectors have a different design depending on the purpose.
  • a disadvantage is that the corner connectors have a complicated and therefore expensive construction.
  • US6332657B by Lukas Fischer Chamäleon Design was published in 1999 and shows a corner connector for furniture.
  • the corner connector has an angular two-legged basic body, which can be supplemented on one side by attaching to a tripod.
  • GB1337613 from the company Porta showers Ltd. was published in 1973 and concerns a corner connector made of plastic.
  • the corner connector is in several embodiments with a different Number of mounting legs provided so that it can meet all needs.
  • a disadvantage is that a separate injection mold is required for each embodiment.
  • An object of the invention is to show a corner connector which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a corner connector according to the invention has a three-legged, stable base body, which can be flexibly and modularly extended by adapters depending on the intended use.
  • the main body consists essentially of a cube with six side surfaces on which at least one leg is formed in advance at an angle of 90 ° to each other on three adjacent first side surfaces.
  • the integral design increases stability and load capacity.
  • the principle can be extended to other configurations, respectively angles.
  • the rigidly molded legs are normally designed to be capable of releasably or non-releasably engaging bar-shaped fasteners to build up three-dimensional structures.
  • the legs can be operatively connected to the rod-shaped connecting elements, for example, by insertion and / or attachment. Other types of fastening are possible.
  • the modular adapters work in principle as removable legs, which serve as a flexible extension of the adapter, depending on where the corner connector is to be used.
  • only one basic shape of a corner connector is required for the construction of stable three-dimensional structures. This can be used very flexibly. The production and logistics costs are thus significantly reduced.
  • Another advantage is that e.g. Shelves or other three-dimensional structures, in contrast to the systems known from the prior art, can be flexibly and easily extended without first having to be laboriously dismantled and rebuilt.
  • the adapters may be integrated, if necessary, at least on one side in the rod-shaped connecting elements. However, this reduces the flexibility and increases the effort in the production.
  • first operative connection means suitable for operatively connecting second operative connection means formed on the detachable legs. If necessary, other elements, e.g. Feet or rollers, etc. are attached to the first operative connection means.
  • the first and the second active connection means are, in particular in the case of plastic corner joints, advantageously snap closures, such as snap-in connections, for example. which can be easily put together and released again.
  • the snap connections can be self-locking, such that they do not disengage under increased load.
  • the first and the second operative connection means can be configured, for example, as a bayonet closure, which can be locked against one another by insertion and mutual rotation, for example by 45 ° or 90 °.
  • Another possibility is to design the first and second operative connection means as a screw connection.
  • An embodiment of the invention relates to a corner connector for a modular furniture system.
  • the corner connector has a main body consisting of a cube with six side surfaces, on each of which a leg is integrally formed on three first adjacent side surfaces, which is suitable for the operative connection of a rod-shaped connecting element.
  • the cube of the main body has on three second adjacent side surfaces on active connection means which are suitable for attaching removable legs, such that the corner connector is flexibly supplemented.
  • This corner connectors can be constructed with only three firmly molded legs or three firmly molded and one to three modular legs, so that all positions can be covered eg in a shelf.
  • the cube can be at least partially integrated into one of the molded legs, so that it is not visible from the outside.
  • the first and / or the second active connection means may be quick-release closures which can be easily operatively connected.
  • the first operative connection means is an opening and the second operative connection means is a guide pin. This is designed so that it can be anchored in the opening.
  • the operative connection means can be designed as a snap closure and / or as a bayonet closure.
  • one leg has a substantially square and the other two legs an H or a U-shaped cross-section, such that the base body is easily demoulded in one direction. Other Cross-sectional shapes are possible if required.
  • the first operative connection means can serve to receive cover plates, which visually obscure them.
  • An inventive corner connector is suitable for the construction of a modular furniture system, in which serves for the active connection of rod-shaped connecting elements.
  • the corner connector can also be part of a kit for a modular furniture system.
