The invention relates to a connecting bolt for connecting two components, in particular two furniture boards made of particle-like, MDF-like or wood-like materials, having a bolt shaft and having a bolt head which has a radially outwardly protruding bolt projection. The invention further relates to an associated connecting fitting having the connecting bolt and a socket.
DE 20 2018 106 278 U1 describes a connecting bolt which is anchored with the bolt shaft thereof in the first portion. The bolt head is then pivoted with the blade-like projection thereof into a hole of the second portion, whereby the projection penetrates into the hole wall of the second portion and the connecting bolt is anchored in the hole.
An object of the present invention is to develop a connecting bolt of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a manner that the connection effect is improved and to provide an associated connecting fitting.
The object is achieved according to the invention, on the one hand, by a connecting bolt in which the bolt head has a locking projection between the bolt shaft and bolt projection at the side opposite the bolt projection and also by a connecting fitting having such a connecting bolt and having a socket which has a socket opening and inside the socket both a socket transverse face which is directed in the direction away from the socket opening and a locking recess which is arranged between the socket opening and socket transverse face at the side opposite the socket transverse face, wherein in the assembled state of the connecting fitting the bolt head is introduced into the socket opening and both the bolt projection engages behind the socket transverse face in the introduction direction of the connecting bolt and the locking projection is engaged in the locking recess.
Other advantages of the invention will be appreciated from the description, the claims and the drawings. The features mentioned above and those set out in greater detail below can also be used individually or together in any combinations. The embodiments shown and described are not intended to be understood to be a definitive listing, but instead are of an exemplary nature to describe the invention.
In the drawings:
The connecting fitting 1 shown in
The connecting bolt 10 has a cylindrical bolt shaft 11 and at the end side a bolt head 12 having a radially outwardly protruding, for example, claw-like or blade-like, bolt projection 13. As shown in
The socket 20 has a front-side socket opening 21 and inside the socket 20 both a socket transverse face 22, which is directed in the direction away from the socket opening 21 and which is inclined in this instance, and a locking recess 23 which is arranged between the socket opening 21 and socket transverse face 22 at the side opposite the socket transverse face 22. The locking recess 23 may be formed by a locking indentation or, as shown in the embodiment, by a transverse opening. The socket transverse face 22 forms the wall of a lateral socket opening 24 which is open at the cover side and which, as shown, may be configured as a slot which is open at the rear side. At the outer side thereof, the socket 20 is provided with a plurality of barb-like ribs 25.
In
Firstly, the socket 20 is pressed, with the socket opening 24 upward, into a hole 3 in the furniture panel 2 (
The bolt head 12 of the connecting bolt 10 which is tilted at an angle α (in this instance, purely by way of example, approximately 45°) is then introduced by the operator into the socket opening 21 without the use of tools (
Finally, the connecting bolt 10 is pressed or tilted through the angle α in a downward direction into the end position thereof which is at right-angles with respect to the furniture panel 2 (
