Abstract

Wooden panels (43-45, 51, 63, 64, 72, 73) of equal width are available for furniture, in particular for bookshelves. These wooden panels are held together by pins in wooden edge strips (41, 42, 61, 62, 71). The wooden edge strips likewise have a uniform length of the single, double or triple width of the wooden panels. Thus dimensions which can be matched to the respective space are obtained for the furniture. <IMAGE>

Description

Bausätze für Möbel sind bekannt und es ist üblich, fertig zugeschnittene, für ein bestimmtes Möbelstück verwendbare Teile abzugeben und der Käufer kann dann aufgrund einer Bauanleitung das eine Möbel zusammenstellen.Kits for furniture are known and it is common to deliver ready-cut parts that can be used for a specific piece of furniture and the buyer can then put together the furniture on the basis of building instructions.

Da es in der heutigen Zeit üblich ist, anstelle von massi­vem Holz Spanplatten zu verwenden, müssen die Stirnflächen dieser Platten abgedeckt oder besonders behandelt werden. Dazu ist gemäss den DE-U-Nrn. 76 22 884.7 und 77 04 583.1 bekannt geworden, die Platten für Wände an den Möbelkanten durch Zwischenlage von Verbindungsstäben miteinander zu verbinden. Zum Verbinden der Verbindungsstäbe und der Plat­ten werden allgemein bekannte Schraubverbindungen, wie ei­ne Art im DE-U-84 08 042.6 beschrieben ist, benützt.Since it is common today to use chipboard instead of solid wood, the end faces of these boards must be covered or treated specially. According to DE-U-Nos. 76 22 884.7 and 77 04 583.1 became known to connect the panels for walls on the furniture edges by interposing connecting rods. To connect the connecting rods and the plates, generally known screw connections, such as one type described in DE-U-84 08 042.6, are used.

Es ist bis heute jedoch kein einem Baukasten ähnliches System bekannt geworden, bei dem mit Einheitselementen beliebige Möbel hergestellt werden können.To date, however, no system similar to a modular system has become known, in which any piece of furniture can be produced using unit elements.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung einen Bausatz gemäss dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 zu schaffen, mit dem beliebige Möbel aufgebaut werden können.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a kit according to the preamble of independent claim 1, with which any furniture can be built.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies durch die Merkmale im kennzeich­nenden Teil des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 erreicht.According to the invention this is achieved by the features in the characterizing part of independent claim 1.

Für die Befestigung von viel dünneren und oftmals aus Sperrholz bestehenden Rückwänden an mässiven Holzplatten ist ein Verbindungselement im Patentanspruch 9 definiert.For the attachment of much thinner and often made of plywood back walls on solid wooden panels, a connecting element is defined in claim 9.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachfolgend an­hand der Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 perspektivisch dargestellte Teile des Bausatzes in gedehnter Darstellungsweise
  • Fig. 2 einen Aufriss einer Seitenwand für eine Bücher­wand mit perspektivisch angedeuteten Schrank- ­und Tablarteilen
  • Fig. 3-5 Querschnittansichten von drei unterschiedlichen Kanthölzern
  • Fig. 6 eine Schnittansicht durch eine Eckverbindung mit einer Rückwand.
Embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 parts of the kit shown in perspective in a stretched representation
  • Fig. 2 is an elevation of a side wall for a book wall with perspective indicated cabinet and tray parts
  • Fig. 3-5 cross-sectional views of three different squared timbers
  • Fig. 6 is a sectional view through a corner connection with a rear wall.

Die Bausatz-Teile gemäss Fig. 1 sind grundsätzlich ein Kantholz 10 mit aufeinander ausgerichteten Paaren von Bohrungen 11,12 zur Aufnahme von Verbindungselementen 13 in Form eines Stiftes 14 mit einerseits einem Holzschrau­bengewinde 15 und einem durch eine umlaufende Nut 16 ab­geteilten Kopf 17 mit Schraubenschlitz 18.1 are fundamentally a squared timber 10 with aligned pairs of bores 11, 12 for receiving connecting elements 13 in the form of a pin 14 with, on the one hand, a wood screw thread 15 and a head 17 with a screw slot 18, divided by a circumferential groove 16 .

Diese Verbindungselemente 13 werden in die für den Anbau einer Holzplatte 20,30,20ʹ,30ʹ vorgesehenen Seitenflächen des Kantholzes 10 eingeschraubt. Die Holzplatten 20,30, 20ʹ,30ʹ haben neben der für die Aufnahme des Stiftes 14 mit Nut 16 und Kopf 17 notwendigen Bohrung, z.B. die Boh­rung 32ʹ in der Holzplatte 30ʹ, noch eine damit kommunizie­rende Bohrung 21,31,21ʹ,31ʹ. In diese Bohrung wird zur Fixierung der Holzplatte mit dem Verbindungselement 13 eine Stiftschraube 23,33 eingeschraubt, die in montiertem Zustand mit ihrem Ende in die Nut 16 des Verbindungsele­mentes 13 eingreift und damit Platte und Kantholz starr verbunden hält.These connecting elements 13 are screwed into the side surfaces of the squared timber 10 provided for the attachment of a wooden plate 20, 30, 20ʹ, 30ʹ. The wooden panels 20, 30, 20ʹ, 30ʹ have in addition to the necessary bore for receiving the pin 14 with groove 16 and head 17, e.g. the hole 32ʹ in the wooden plate 30ʹ, another communicating hole 21,31,21ʹ, 31ʹ. For fixing the wooden plate with the connecting element 13, a stud screw 23, 33 is screwed into this hole, which in the assembled state engages with its end in the groove 16 of the connecting element 13 and thus keeps the plate and square timber rigidly connected.

Soweit sind die verwendeten Elemente bekannt und brauchen deshalb an dieser Stelle auch nicht weiter beschrieben zu werden. Die Erfindung selbst betrifft nun darüber hinaus ein Baukastensystem, mit dem jedermann sein eigenes Möbel­programm zusammenstellen kann, ohne auf vorgefertigte aber noch nicht zusammengesetzte Möbel mit starren Abmessungen angewiesen zu sein.As far as the elements used are known, they do not need to be described further here. The invention itself now also relates to a modular system with which anyone can put together their own furniture program, but without prefabricated ones not yet assembled furniture with rigid dimensions.

Dementsprechend wird erfindungsgemäss vorgeschlagen, die Holzplatten 20,30,40,50 mit einheitlicher Dicke und Breite, aber mit unterschiedlicher Länge und dazu Kanthölzer 10 mit unterschiedlichen Längen entsprehend ganzzahligen Vielfachen der Breite der Holzplatten vorzusehen.Accordingly, it is proposed according to the invention to provide the wood panels 20, 30, 40, 50 with a uniform thickness and width, but with a different length and, in addition, squared timbers 10 with different lengths corresponding to integral multiples of the width of the wood panels.

Damit kann, wie Fig. 2 deutlich zeigt, eine Gestellseiten­wand oder Mittelwand für eine Bücherwand gebildet werden, indem zwei Kanthölzer 41,42 mit einer Länge, die der Breite von drei nebeneinander aufgestellten Holzplatten 43,44,45 entspricht, zu einer Sockelwand zusammengestellt werden. Ueber diesem Sockel 40 kann eine Fernsehgeräte-Nische 50 vorgesehen sein, die nur eine einzelne Holzplatte 51 auf­weist. Ueber dieser Wandpartie kann ein Kästchen 60 für Nippes oder Geschirr vorgesehen sein, das mit Kanthölzern 61,62 von einer Länge, die zwei Holzplatten 63,64 ent­spricht und diesen beiden genannten Holzplatten 63,64 zu­sammengebaut ist. Ueber diesem Kästchen 60 kann eine Bü­cherablage 70 vorgesehen sein, deren seitliche Wände 72, 73 mit einem Kantholz 71 mit der Einheitslänge entsprechend der Breite nur einer Holzplatte verbunden werden.2, a frame side wall or central wall for a book wall can be formed by combining two square timbers 41, 42 with a length that corresponds to the width of three wooden panels 43, 44, 45 placed next to one another to form a base wall . A television set niche 50 can be provided above this base 40, which has only a single wooden plate 51. A box 60 for knick-knacks or crockery can be provided above this wall section, which is assembled with squared timbers 61, 62 of a length that corresponds to two wooden boards 63, 64 and these two named wooden boards 63, 64. Above this box 60 a book shelf 70 can be provided, the side walls 72, 73 of which are connected with a square timber 71 with the unit length corresponding to the width of only one wooden panel.

Die Längen der Holzplatten 43,44,45 müssen natürlich unter sich gleich sein, wie auch diejenigen der Holzplatten 63, 64. Jedoch können die Höhen von Sockel 40, Fernsehgeräte-­Nische 50, Kästchen 60 und Bücherablage 70 frei aus Sätzen von bereitgestellten Holzplatten ausgewählt werden, um der jeweiligen möglichen Bauhöhe gerecht zu werden.The lengths of the wooden panels 43, 44, 45 must of course be the same as those of the wooden panels 63, 64. However, the heights of the base 40, television niche 50, box 60 and book shelf 70 can be freely selected from sets of wooden panels provided in order to meet the respective possible overall height.

Für den Fall, dass jemand zu wenig freien Raum für einen aus drei Holzplatten bestehenden Sockel hat, kann er ohne Probleme zu haben auf einen Sockel mit zwei Holzplatten ausweichen, er braucht dann Kanthölzer 41,42, die eben nur eine Länge entsprechend der Breite von zwei Holzplat­ten haben.In the event that someone has too little free space for a base consisting of three wooden panels, they can easily switch to a base with two wooden panels, then they need square timbers 41, 42, which are just a length corresponding to the width of have two wooden panels.

Somit lässt sich eine Möblierung frei nach Platz und Wunsch zusammenstellen. Auch bei veränderten Platzver­hältnissen nach einem Wohnungswechsel kann wieder ein den zur Verfügung sthenden Raum optimal nutzendes Möbel gebil­det werden.This means that furniture can be put together according to space and wishes. Even if there is a change in the space after a change of residence, furniture can be optimally used to make the most of the available space.

Für einen Anbau von weiteren Elementen gemäss Fig. 2 sind Kanthölzer gemäss Fig. 1 oder 3 vorzusehen, die auf allen vier Seitenflächen Bohrungen 11,12 aufweisen, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, oder nur für einen dreiseitigen Anbau von Holzplat­ten vorgesehen sind, wie Fig. 3 zeigt.For the attachment of further elements according to FIG. 2, squared timbers according to FIG. 1 or 3 are to be provided which have bores 11, 12 on all four side surfaces, as shown in FIG. 1, or are provided only for three-sided attachment of wooden panels, as shown in FIG 3 shows.

Anstelle solcher zierloser Kanthölzer könnten für die Kanthölzer 41,61 und 62 in Fig. 2 Kanthölzer mit sechs­eckiger Querschnittfläche gemäss Fig. 4 oder mit wenig­stens einer äusseren gewölbten Fläche gemäss Fig. 5 ge­nommen werden, so dass ein ästhetisch schön wirkendes Möbel gebildet werden kann.Instead of such ornamental squared timbers, squared timbers with a hexagonal cross-sectional area according to FIG. 4 or with at least one outer curved area according to FIG. 5 could be used for the squared timbers 41, 61 and 62 in FIG. 2, so that an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture can be formed.

Selbstverständlich sind Boden- und Deckwände des Sockels 40 und des Kästchens 60 ebenfalls mit drei bzw. zwei neben­einander angeordneten Holzplatten gebildet, die auf glei­che Weise wie die Seitenwandplatten 43,44,45 oder 63,64 mit den Kanthölzern 41,42,61,62 verbunden sind. Wenn die­se Elemente 40,60 mit Schubladen, Holz- oder Glastüren, oder mit -Schiebern ausgerüstet sein sollen, müssen natür­lich einheitliche Breiten der Boden- und Deckwände oder zumindest nur wenige verschiedene Grössen vorgesehen sein.Of course, the bottom and top walls of the base 40 and the box 60 are also formed with three or two wooden panels arranged next to one another, which in the same way as the side wall panels 43, 44, 45 or 63, 64 with the squared timber 41, 42, 61, 62 are connected. If these elements 40, 60 are to be equipped with drawers, wooden or glass doors, or with slides, of course uniform widths of the floor and top walls or at least only a few different sizes must be provided.

Für Rückwände 46,66 (Fig. 2) werden üblicherweise Sperr­holzplatten von wenigen Millimetern Dicke verwendet. Sol­che Platten würden natürlich bei stirnseitiger Befestigung, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, bei geringster Belastung aus­brechen. Damit auch hier ein kostengünstiger Weg be­schritten werden kann wurden Klammern 80 gemäss Fig. 6 entwickelt, die einen geraden bandförmigen Verbindungsteil 81 mit beiderends gegensinnig angeordneten Nocken 82,83 versehen sind. Der Nocken 82 für die Verbindung mit einer Holzplatte 84 ist massiv und zum Eingriff in eine Nut 85 ausgebildet. Der Nocken 83 für den stirnseitigen Eingriff in die Sperrholzplatte 86 ist als Federlasche aus der End­partie des Verbindungsteils 81 geformt, so dass sich eine allfällige Kraft auf die Aussenplatten der Sperrholzplatte 86 auswirken kann und zwar an gegeneinander versetzten Stellen.Plywood panels of a few millimeters thick are usually used for rear walls 46, 66 (FIG. 2). Such plates would, of course, break out when attached to the end face, as shown in FIG. 1, at the slightest load. In order that a cost-effective way can also be followed here, clips 80 according to FIG. 6 were developed, which have a straight band-shaped connecting part 81 with cams 82, 83 arranged in opposite directions on both ends are provided. The cam 82 for connection to a wooden plate 84 is solid and designed to engage in a groove 85. The cam 83 for the frontal engagement in the plywood plate 86 is formed as a spring tab from the end part of the connecting part 81, so that any force may have an effect on the outer plates of the plywood plate 86, namely at mutually offset locations.

Bei unterschiedlicher Bautiefe der Möbel kann durch die Verwendung der Kanthölzer die Lochung unterbrochen werden, indem ein horizontales Zwischenkantholz die Verbindung zwi­schen einem gelochten senkrechten Kantholz eines ge­schlossenen Möbelteils und einem sichtbaren senkrechten Kantholz an einer Stirnseite einer sichtbaren Seitenwand bildet.If the depth of the furniture differs, the perforation can be interrupted by using the square timbers, in that a horizontal intermediate square timber forms the connection between a perforated vertical square timber of a closed furniture part and a visible vertical square timber on one end face of a visible side wall.
