Vorrichtungen zum Befestigen einer Funktionseinheit in einem Möbelkorpus sind bereits bekannt. So zeigt etwa die AT 504 921 eine Befestigungsvorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Ausstoßers für ein bewegbares Möbelteil in einem Möbelkorpus, mit einem über zwei seitliche Halteteile an den Seitenwänden des Möbelkorpus befestigbaren Querträger, wobei der Querträger lösbar mit den Halteteilen verbunden ist.Devices for attaching a functional unit in a furniture body are already known. So shows about the AT 504 921 a fastening device for fastening a pusher for a movable furniture part in a furniture body, with a fortified via two lateral holding parts on the side walls of the furniture body cross member, wherein the cross member is detachably connected to the holding parts.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserte Vorrichtung zum Befestigen einer Funktionseinheit in einem Möbelkorpus anzugeben.The object of the invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art improved device for attaching a functional unit in a furniture body.

Dies wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This is achieved in the device according to the invention with the features of claim 1.

Die Verwendung eines Scharniers ermöglicht das Wegbewegen des Trägers von seiner Position, ohne dass dieser ausgebaut werden muss.The use of a hinge allows the carrier to move away from its position without having to remove it.

Durch die Verwendung von zwei Halteelementen kann der Träger mit seinen Enden an beiden Seiten am Möbelkorpus angeordnet werden.By using two retaining elements, the carrier can be arranged with its ends on both sides of the furniture body.

Dies bringt den Vorteil der einfachen Montage, da zuerst das Halteelement am Möbelkorpus montiert werden kann und erst anschließend der Träger mit der Funktionseinheit an diesem Halteelement angebracht werden kann.This has the advantage of easy installation, since first the retaining element can be mounted on the furniture body and only then the carrier with the functional unit can be attached to this holding element.

Ebenso wird es durch die Verschwenkbarkeit des Trägers erleichtert, einen nachträglichen Austausch der Funktionseinheit vorzunehmen, indem auf einfache Art und Weise der Träger verschwenkt und / oder vom Halteelement gelöst werden kann bzw. falls Zugriff auf den Bereich hinter dem Träger erwünscht ist, dieser - da er verschwenkbar am Halteelement angeordnet ist - wegbewegt werden kann, ohne dass er dazu ausgebaut werden muss.Likewise, it is facilitated by the pivotability of the carrier to make a subsequent replacement of the functional unit by the carrier pivoted in a simple manner and / or can be solved by the holding element or if access to the area behind the carrier is desired, this - since it is pivotally mounted on the holding element - can be moved away without having to be removed to do so.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich herausgestellt, wenn der Träger werkzeuglos mit dem Halteelement verbindbar ist. Ein werkzeugloses Anbringen des Trägers am Halteelement ermöglicht einen raschen Zusammenbau.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the carrier can be connected without tools to the holding element. A tool-free attachment of the carrier on the holding element allows rapid assembly.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Halteelement einen Basisteil zur Aufnahme des Trägers aufweist und einen - vorzugsweise schwenkbaren - Riegelteil zum lagesicheren Halten des Trägers im oder am Basisteil. Durch die Verwendung eines Riegelteils kann sichergestellt werden, dass der Träger arretierbar am Halteelement angebracht werden kann.According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the holding element comprises a base part for receiving the carrier and a - preferably pivotable - latch member for positionally secure holding the carrier in or on the base part. By using a latch member can be ensured that the carrier can be mounted lockable on the support member.

Besonders bevorzugt kann vorgesehen sein, dass in dem Scharnier gegenüberliegenden freien Ende des Trägers eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Mit der Verwendung einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung kann erzielt werden, dass sich der Träger nicht von seiner vorbestimmten Position entfernt.Particularly preferably, it can be provided that in the hinge opposite the free end of the carrier, a locking device is arranged. With the use of a locking device can be achieved that the carrier does not move away from its predetermined position.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich dabei herausgestellt, wenn die Vorrichtung eine am Halteelement oder am Träger ausgebildete elastische oder federbelastete Raste aufweist. Durch die Verwendung einer Raste ist eine kostengünstige Möglichkeit erzielbar, das Halteelement mit dem Träger zu verbinden.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the device has an elastic or spring-loaded detent formed on the holding element or on the carrier. By using a catch, a cost-effective way is achievable to connect the holding member to the carrier.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Raste einstückig als Vorsprung am Halteelement oder am Träger ausgebildet ist. Durch eine einstückige Ausführung der Raste am Halteelement oder am Träger sind keine zusätzlichen Montagezeiten erforderlich.According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the catch is integrally formed as a projection on the holding element or on the carrier. By a one-piece design of the catch on the holding element or on the carrier no additional assembly times are required.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich weiter herausgestellt, dass die am Halteelement oder am Träger ausgebildete Raste in eine Nut am Träger oder Halteelement einrastet. Eine Nut ist besonders gut geeignet, eine Raste in sich aufzunehmen und damit den Träger bzw. das Halteelement positionssicher anzuordnen.It has also proven to be advantageous that the catch formed on the holding element or on the carrier engages in a groove on the carrier or holding element. A Groove is particularly well suited to receive a catch in itself and thus position the carrier or the retaining element positionally secure.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich herausgestellt, wenn die Vorrichtung zum lösbaren Verbinden des Trägers mit den Halteelementen zwei Verriegelungsvorrichtungen aufweist, wobei diese am Träger und / oder an den Halteelementen ausgebildet sind. Durch die Verwendung von zwei Verriegelungsvorrichtungen an den Enden der Träger kann somit eine positionssichere Verwahrung des Trägers am Möbelkorpus erzielt werden.It has proved to be advantageous if the device for releasably connecting the carrier to the holding elements has two locking devices, wherein these are formed on the carrier and / or on the holding elements. By the use of two locking devices at the ends of the carrier thus a positionally safe storage of the carrier on the furniture body can be achieved.

Bevorzugt kann weiters vorgesehen sein, dass das Halteelement und/oder der Träger ein U-förmiges Profil aufweisen. U-förmige Profile steigern die Stabilität des Trägers bzw. des Halteelementes.Preferably, it can further be provided that the holding element and / or the carrier have a U-shaped profile. U-shaped profiles increase the stability of the carrier or the holding element.

Gemäß einem möglichen Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Träger als horizontal liegende Profilleiste - vorzugsweise aus Metall oder Kunststoff - ausgebildet ist.According to a possible embodiment it can be provided that the carrier is designed as a horizontally disposed profile strip - preferably made of metal or plastic.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Halteelement und / oder die Verriegelungsvorrichtung aus Metall oder Kunststoff ausgebildet sind.According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the holding element and / or the locking device are formed of metal or plastic.

Ebenso hat es sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, wenn die Funktionseinheit ein motorisch betriebener Ausstoßer für Schubladen ist und/oder die Funktionseinheit als Beleuchtungseinheit ausgebildet ist.Likewise, it has been found to be advantageous if the functional unit is a motor-driven ejector for drawers and / or the functional unit is designed as a lighting unit.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Funktionseinheit - vorzugsweise werkzeuglos - lösbar am Träger angeordnet. Dies bringt den Vorteil, dass die Funktionseinheit ausgetauscht werden kann, ohne dass sie dabei vom Träger entfernt werden muss.In one embodiment of the invention, the functional unit - preferably without tools - releasably arranged on the carrier. This has the advantage that the functional unit can be replaced without having to be removed from the carrier.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich dabei herausgestellt, wenn die Funktionseinheit im Wesentlichen mittig am Träger angeordnet ist. Somit wird es z.B. ermöglicht, dass eine Schublade durch den Ausstoßer einer Antriebseinheit im Wesentlichen verspreizfrei ausgefahren werden kann, wenn sich dieser Ausstoßer im Wesentlichen in der Mitte des Trägers befindet.It has proven to be particularly advantageous when the functional unit is arranged substantially centrally on the carrier. Thus, it is possible, for example, that a drawer can be extended by the ejector of a drive unit substantially free of descent when this ejector is located substantially in the center of the carrier.

Schutz wird auch begehrt für ein Möbel mit einer Vorrichtung zum Befestigen einer Funktionseinheit in einem Möbelkorpus nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 17.Protection is also desired for a piece of furniture with a device for fastening a functional unit in a furniture body according to one of claims 1 to 17.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Rückansicht eines Möbels 10. Dieses Möbel 10 weist einen Möbelkorpus 11 auf mit darin angeordneten Schubladen 22. Die untere Schublade 22 ist dabei von einer nicht sichtbaren Funktionseinheit 12 antreibbar. Diese Funktionseinheit 12 wiederum ist auf dem Querträger 21 - welcher quer im Möbelkorpus 11 angeordnet ist - angebracht. Der Querträger 21 weist die Vorrichtung 20 zum Befestigen der Funktionseinheit 12 im Möbelkorpus 11 auf, dabei weist die Vorrichtung 20 das Halteelement 1, welches am Möbelkorpus 11 montiert ist, und den Träger 3, der als horizontal liegende Profilleiste ausgebildet ist, auf. FIG. 1 shows a rear perspective view of a piece of furniture 10. This furniture 10 has a furniture body 11 with arranged therein drawers 22. The lower drawer 22 is driven by a non-visible functional unit 12. This functional unit 12 in turn is on the cross member 21 - which is arranged transversely in the furniture body 11 - attached. The cross member 21 has the device 20 for fixing the functional unit 12 in the furniture body 11, while the device 20, the holding element 1, which is mounted on the furniture body 11, and the carrier 3, which is designed as a horizontally disposed profile strip on.

Figur 2a zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Vorrichtung 20 zum Befestigen einer Funktionseinheit 12 in einem Möbelkorpus 11, wobei die Funktionseinheit 12 am Träger 3 vormontiert ist. Der Träger 3 ist dabei beweglich am Halteelement 1 gelagert. Die Halteelemente 1 und 2 wiederum sind am Möbelkorpus 11 (nicht dargestellt) befestigt. Hier dargestellt ist eine geöffnete Stellung dargestellt, in welcher der Träger 3 schwenkbar - mittels dem gelenkigen Scharnier 6 - dem Halteelement 2 nähergebracht werden kann. FIG. 2a shows a perspective view of a device 20 for securing a functional unit 12 in a furniture body 11, wherein the functional unit 12 on Carrier 3 is pre-assembled. The carrier 3 is movably mounted on the holding element 1. The holding elements 1 and 2 are in turn attached to the furniture body 11 (not shown). Shown here is an open position shown, in which the carrier 3 can be pivoted - by means of the articulated hinge 6 - the holding element 2 closer.

Der Träger 3 wird bei seiner Erstmontage vorzugsweise in das Scharnier 6 des Halteelementes 1 eingebracht, vorzugsweise eingeklippst, und ist somit gelenkig mit diesem verbunden. In weiterer Folge kann er auch natürlich wieder von diesem gelöst werden.The carrier 3 is preferably introduced during its initial assembly in the hinge 6 of the retaining element 1, preferably clipped, and is thus hingedly connected thereto. As a result, he can of course be solved by this again.

Sowohl der Träger 3 als auch das Halteelement 2 weisen ein U-förmiges Profil auf.Both the carrier 3 and the holding element 2 have a U-shaped profile.

Der Träger 3 ist horizontal in dem Möbelkorpus 11 als liegende Profilleiste an den Halteelementen 1, 2 anordenbar, als bevorzugtes Material wird dabei für den Träger 3 und für die Halteelemente 1, 2 Metall oder Kunststoff verwendet.The carrier 3 can be arranged horizontally in the furniture carcass 11 as lying profile strip on the holding elements 1, 2, as a preferred material is used for the carrier 3 and for the holding elements 1, 2 metal or plastic.

In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Funktionseinheit 12 als ein motorisch betriebener Ausstoßer für Schubladen ausgebildet. Ein derartiger Schubladenantrieb ist bereits aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt (siehe WO 2008/098267 A1 ).In this embodiment, the functional unit 12 is designed as a motor-driven ejector for drawers. Such a drawer drive is already known from the prior art (see WO 2008/098267 A1 ).

Ebenso könnte diese Funktionseinheit 12 natürlich auch als Beleuchtungseinheit ausgebildet sein.Likewise, this functional unit 12 could of course also be designed as a lighting unit.

Figur 2b zeigt den Querträger 21 in geschlossenem Zustand. Die Vorrichtung 20 zum Befestigen einer Funktionseinheit 12 im Möbelkorpus 11 (nicht dargestellt) befindet sich in der Stellung, in der der Träger 3 mit seinem freien Ende in der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 7 des Halteelementes 2 eingerastet ist. Ermöglicht wurde dies durch Schwenken des Trägers 3 über das Scharnier 6 des Halteelementes 1. Die Funktionseinheit 12 - in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als Möbelantrieb ausgebildet - ist dabei werkzeuglos lösbar am Träger 3 angeordnet. FIG. 2b shows the cross member 21 in the closed state. The device 20 for fixing a functional unit 12 in the furniture body 11 (not shown) is in the position in which the carrier 3 is locked with its free end in the locking device 7 of the holding element 2. This has been made possible by pivoting of the carrier 3 via the hinge 6 of the holding element 1. The functional unit 12 - designed as a furniture drive in this embodiment - is detachably arranged on the carrier 3 without tools.

Um ein bevorzugtes Ausstoßen einer nicht dargestellten Schublade 22 zu ermöglichen, ist die Funktionseinheit 12 dabei so positioniert, dass ihr Ausstoßer 23 etwa in der Mitte des Trägers 3 angeordnet ist.In order to allow a preferred ejection of a drawer 22, not shown, the functional unit 12 is positioned so that its ejector 23 is arranged approximately in the center of the carrier 3.

Durch diese verschwenkbare Anordnung eines Trägers 3 am Halteelement 1 ist es für das Montagepersonal auf einfache Art und Weise möglich, den Raum hinter dem Träger 3 zu erreichen, ohne dabei den Querträger 21 bzw. die Funktionseinheit 12 oder deren Träger 3 ausbauen zu müssen.By this pivotable arrangement of a carrier 3 on the holding element 1, it is possible for the assembly personnel in a simple manner to reach the space behind the carrier 3, without having to remove the cross member 21 and the functional unit 12 or the carrier 3.

Figur 3a zeigt eine weitere perspektivische Ansicht des bereits unter Figur 2a und 2b beschriebenen Querträgers 21 bzw. der Vorrichtung 20. Am Halteelement 2 ist hier die elastisch ausgebildete Raste 8 und die damit korrespondierende, ebenfalls elastisch ausgebildete Nut 9 des Trägers 3 ersichtlich. FIG. 3a shows another perspective view of the already under FIG. 2a and 2 B On the holding element 2 is here the elastically formed catch 8 and the corresponding thereto, also elastically formed groove 9 of the carrier 3 can be seen.

Die Raste 8 ist dabei einstückig als Vorsprung des Halteelementes 2 ausgebildet, ebenso könnte sie natürlich auch einstückig als Vorsprung des Trägers 3 ausgebildet sein.The catch 8 is formed integrally as a projection of the holding element 2, as it could of course also be integrally formed as a projection of the carrier 3.

Bevorzugterweise bestehen sowohl die Haltelemente 1 und 2, die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 7 als auch der Träger 3 aus Metall oder Kunststoff.Preferably, both the holding elements 1 and 2, the locking device 7 and the carrier 3 made of metal or plastic.

Im geschlossenen Zustand, wie es aus der Figur 3b hervorgeht, kommt die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 7 zum Tragen, indem die Raste 8 des Halteelementes 2 in die Nut 9 des Trägers 3 einrastet. Ebenso könnte natürlich die Nut 9 am Halteelement 2 ausgebildet sein und die Raste 8 am Träger 3. Aus den Figuren 3a und 3b wiederum ist sehr gut das U-förmige Profil des Trägers 3 und das U-förmige Profil des Halteelementes 2 erkennbar. Dies trägt zur Stabilität dieser beiden Elemente bei.When closed, as it is from the FIG. 3b shows, the locking device 7 comes into play by the catch 8 of the holding element 2 engages in the groove 9 of the carrier 3. Likewise, of course, the groove 9 may be formed on the support member 2 and the catch 8 on the carrier 3. From the FIGS. 3a and 3b in turn, the U-shaped profile of the carrier 3 and the U-shaped profile of the holding element 2 can be seen very well. This contributes to the stability of these two elements.

In den Figuren 4a bis 4c ist nun eine Variante der Vorrichtung 20 zum Befestigen einer Funktionseinheit 12 in einem Möbelkorpus 11 (nicht dargestellt) ausgeführt.In the FIGS. 4a to 4c Now is a variant of the device 20 for attaching a functional unit 12 in a furniture body 11 (not shown) executed.

Figur 4a zeigt einen vom Halteelement 1 getrennten als horizontal liegende Profilleiste ausgebildeten Träger 3. Am Träger 3 befindet sich, wie bereits in den vorigen Figurenbeschreibungen erwähnt, die Funktionseinheit 12. Am Halteelement 1 ist der Träger 3 lösbar befestigbar. FIG. 4a shows a separate from the holding element 1 designed as a horizontal profiled strip carrier 3. The carrier 3 is, as already mentioned in the previous figure descriptions, the functional unit 12. On the support member 1, the carrier 3 is detachably fastened.

Das Halteelement 1 weist einen Basisteil 4 zur Aufnahme des Trägers 3 auf und einen schwenkbaren Riegelteil 5 zum lagesicheren Halten des Trägers 3 im oder am Basisteil 4 auf.The holding element 1 has a base part 4 for receiving the carrier 3 and a pivotable latch part 5 for positionally secure holding of the carrier 3 in or on the base part 4.

Sowohl das Halteelement 1 als auch der Träger 3 weisen ein U-förmiges Profil auf, um die Stabilität dieser Teile zu erhöhen.Both the retaining element 1 and the carrier 3 have a U-shaped profile in order to increase the stability of these parts.

In Figur 4b ist der Träger 3 in die beiden Halteelemente 1 und 2 eingesetzt und über die Rastnasen 8 der Halteelemente 1 und 2 in der Nut 9 des Trägers 3 eingerastet.In FIG. 4b the carrier 3 is inserted into the two holding elements 1 and 2 and engaged in the groove 9 of the carrier 3 via the latching lugs 8 of the holding elements 1 and 2.

Die Verriegelungsvorrichtungen 7 sind bei dieser Ausführungsform noch nicht aktiv, da die Riegelteile 5 in den beiden Halteelementen 1 und 2 nicht geschlossen sind (siehe dazu Figur 4c).The locking devices 7 are not active in this embodiment, since the latch members 5 in the two holding elements 1 and 2 are not closed (see Figure 4c ).

Der Träger 3 kann auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel werkzeuglos mit den Halteelementen 1 und 2 verbunden werden.The carrier 3 can also be connected to the holding elements 1 and 2 without tools in this embodiment.

Als Material für die Halteelemente 1 und 2 bzw. den Verriegelungsvorrichtungen 7 und dem Träger 3 ist vorzugsweise Metall oder Kunststoff vorgesehen.As material for the holding elements 1 and 2 or the locking devices 7 and the carrier 3 metal or plastic is preferably provided.

Figur 4c zeigt die Vorrichtung 20 im geschlossenen Zustand, wobei die Riegelteile 5 der Halteelemente 1, 2 in Richtung des Trägers 3 verschwenkt worden sind und damit zum lagesicheren Halten des Trägers 3 in den Basisteilen 4 der Halteelemente 1 und 2 führen. Figure 4c shows the device 20 in the closed state, wherein the locking parts 5 of the holding elements 1, 2 have been pivoted in the direction of the carrier 3 and thus lead to the positionally secure holding of the carrier 3 in the base parts 4 of the holding elements 1 and 2.

Somit werden die Enden des Trägers 3 durch die beiden Halteelemente 1 und 2 der Vorrichtung 20 gehalten.Thus, the ends of the carrier 3 are held by the two holding elements 1 and 2 of the device 20.

Wenn auch die Erfindung anhand des gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiels konkret beschrieben wurde, versteht es sich von selbst, dass der Anmeldungsgegenstand nicht auf dieses Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt ist. Vielmehr versteht es sich von selbst, dass Maßnahmen und Abwandlungen, die dazu dienen, den Erfindungsgedanken umzusetzen, durchaus denkbar und erwünscht sind.Although the invention has been described concretely with reference to the illustrated embodiment, it goes without saying that the subject of the application is not limited to this embodiment. Rather, it goes without saying that measures and modifications that serve to implement the idea of the invention are quite conceivable and desirable.
