The present invention relates to a furniture element, in particular a shelf component having at least one bearing plane according to the preamble of claim 1.
The invention further relates to a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 20.
Shelves for furniture elements are usually assembled or welded together as frame racks from a large number of hollow sections. Base panels, cover panels as well as side panels are usually inserted into this frame rack and fixed to them.
Furniture elements are usually placed as pieces of furniture, for example in the form of a shelf in a corner of a room or as a component of a piece of furniture in an area, in particular a corner region, of a furniture body and can be moved from a starting position to an open or use position by a combined rotational-translational movement.
For translational-rotational movement, translation-rotation fittings are used, which are mounted on the floor or a ceiling of the furniture element and which have two bearing surfaces that are movable relative to each other with rolling elements guided in running grooves or with sliding elements guided in sliding guides.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a rotatable furniture element with great stability and simplified assembly.
This object is solved by a rotatable furniture element having the features of claim 1.
The object is further solved by a piece of furniture having the features of claim 20.
The rotatable furniture element according to the invention has a base panel, a cover panel and at least one profiled element fixed to the base panel between the base panel and the cover panel.
A translation-rotation fitting is arranged on an underside of the base panel facing away from the cover panel and/or on an upper side of the cover panel facing away from the base panel, with which the rotatable furniture element can be moved in a combined translational-rotational movement from a starting position into an opening end position and back into the starting position.
It is also conceivable that the base panel and/or the cover panel is formed as a component of the translation-rotation fitting.
In an edge region of the base panel and the cover panel, receiving elements are arranged for fixing the profiled elements.
Fixing of the profiled elements directly to the base panel and the cover panel enables simple and precisely executable assembly of such a profiled element.
Due to the possibility of arranging either further profiled elements or the ends of side panels at the other corner points of the base and cover panels, a very individual structure of the rotatable furniture element can be realized.
Advantageous embodiment variants of the invention are the subject matter of the subclaims.
According to an advantageous embodiment variant, the receiving elements extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the at least one profiled element.
Particularly preferably, the receiving elements are designed to conically taper away from the edge regions.
This makes it possible to mount the at least one profiled element on the base panel or cover panel in a simple and precisely fitting manner.
The profiled element is preferably designed as a hollow profiled element.
In one embodiment variant, the receiving elements are designed as receiving contours molded onto the base panel or cover panel.
In an alternative embodiment variant, the receiving elements are designed as separate components that are attached to the base panel or cover panel.
According to a preferred further development, each of the receiving elements has a base that can be fixed to the edge region and an insertion socket extending from the base.
According to a further preferred embodiment variant, cover profiles can be attached to the edge regions, enabling the mounting regions to be covered in a simple manner.
According to a further preferred embodiment variant, the running grooves or sliding guides are shaped in such a way that the base surface of the furniture element in the starting position is congruent with the base surface of the furniture element in the opening end position.
According to a further embodiment variant, the rotational portion of the movement between the starting position and the opening end position is preferably 90° or 180°.
The piece of furniture according to the invention has a fixed furniture body and a furniture element rotatably mounted in the furniture body, in particular a shelf having at least one bearing plane, which is designed as described above.
In a preferred embodiment variant, a side panel designed as a retaining plate is mounted in at least one of the side openings of the furniture element, to which a decorative panel can be attached.
According to a further advantageous design of the piece of furniture according to the invention, the side panel of the furniture element is attached to the base panel and the cover panel via fastening elements.
In this case, the fastening elements, such as dowels, can be arranged directly in the base and cover panel or in additional cover profiles arranged on the outside of or on the base and cover panel.
Also, the base panel and cover panel may still each have an interior decorative panel so that the fastening elements are not visible.
Furniture elements are possible which have four profiled elements in the corner regions of the base panel and the cover panel. The side panels are dimensioned so that they can be arranged between the profiled elements.
This variant offers the advantage that fastening elements for the at least one shelf can be integrated into the profiled elements.
In an alternative design of a piece of furniture according to the invention, a profiled element is arranged in only one corner of the base panel and the cover panel of the furniture element. The other corners are formed by perpendicularly abutting end edges of side panels or decorative panels, each of which is fastened to the base panel and in the cover panel. For design reasons, the abutting edge can be covered by a cover.
In the case of large pieces of furniture, it may be necessary or desirable for the furniture element to require additional profiled elements in the area of the side openings between the corner regions of the base panel and cover panel. In this case, receiving elements are preferably also provided in the corresponding regions.
According to another preferred embodiment variant, the side panel has adjustment elements for fixing and aligning the decorative panel.
According to a first embodiment variant, the at least one profiled element is tubular with a rectangular base surface.
According to an alternative embodiment variant, the at least one profiled element is tubular with a ring-segment-shaped base surface.
According to a further alternative embodiment variant, the at least one profiled element is formed as a tubular connecting member of two side walls integrated therewith with a ring-segment-shaped base surface, which on the one hand enables a simple structure and on the other hand enables further design options of side walls of the furniture element.
Preferred exemplary embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
In the following description of figures, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, rear, etc. refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the profile construction, furniture element, base panel, cover panel, profiled element, edge region and the like selected in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood restrictively, i.e. due to different working positions or the mirror-symmetrical design or the like, these references may change.
In
In the profile construction 3, three shelves 9, 10, 11 are arranged in the embodiment variant shown here, which, however, are to be regarded merely as exemplary variants, both in their design as a shelf occupying the entire base area, as represented by shelf 9, or an L-shaped design according to shelf 10, or also a rectangular design occupying only a partial area of the base area of the profile construction 3, as represented by shelf 11.
As can also be seen from
In the exemplary embodiment shown, four vertically oriented profiled elements 5 are provided, which are arranged in respective edge regions 42, 62 of the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6, here in the respective corners.
The profiled elements 5 of the profile construction 3, together with the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6 in the assembled state, as shown in
In most designs, as seen in
As further shown in
Further, in
Further, in the furniture element 2 shown in
The furniture element 2 can be rotated in rotational directions R1, R2 by manual operation.
For fastening the profiled elements 5 to the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6, receiving elements 8 are arranged in edge regions 42, 62 of the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6 for fixing the profiled elements 5, as shown by way of example in
The receiving elements 8 are arranged on the surface of the edge regions 42 of the base panel 4 facing the cover panel 6 and extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the profiled elements 5 in the direction of the cover panel 6. These receiving elements 8 can be formed on the base panel 4 or the cover panel 6 as receiving contours according to an embodiment variant not shown here.
In the embodiment variant shown here, the receiving elements 8 are designed as separate components that can be attached to the edge region 42 of the base panel 4 or the edge region 62 of the cover panel 6.
Each of the receiving elements 8 preferably has a base 81 from which an insertion socket 82 extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the profiled elements 5.
In this case, the insertion socket 82 is preferably conically tapered in a direction away from the edge regions 42, 62 of the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6.
As shown in
The recess 45 is designed here as an elongated hole and serves to accommodate preferably a screw that can be screwed into the receiving element 8 from the underside of the base panel 4.
The design of the recess 45 as an elongated hole makes it possible to adjust the receiving element 8 on the base panel 4 in a simple manner. The elongated hole is aligned diagonally to the sides and allows the screw to be moved in the elongated hole, which may be necessary, for example, in the case of profiles of different sizes (e.g. in increments of 16×16 mm to 20×20 mm profile thickness) if the screw is screwed centrally into the receiving element and the outer surface of the profiled element 5 is not to move as a result.
While in the embodiment variant shown in
It is also conceivable that the additional profiled elements 5 can be used to insert partition walls or other dividing elements or wall configurations. This allows the furniture element to be designed very individually.
To conceal the mounting regions of the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6, in a preferred embodiment variant cover profiles 15, 16 are provided which can be attached to the edge regions 42 of the base panel 4 or edge regions 62 of the cover panel 6.
For fastening the cover profiles 15, 16, cutouts 46, 66 are preferably provided on the base panel 4 or the cover panel 6, in this case in the form of slot-shaped cutouts 46, into which corresponding clip elements 151, 161 of the cover profiles 15, 16 can be clipped. The clip elements 151, 161 can be arranged at different positions of the cover profiles 15, 16, and as an alternative to the assembly from above shown here, assembly can also be carried out, for example, from the side or from another direction.
This allows easy attachment of the cover profiles 15, 16 in the edge regions 42, 62.
The cover profiles 15 thereby embrace the edge region 42 of the base panel 4 both at its vertical end edge and at the upper side of the edge region 42 facing the cover panel 6 and are used in particular at edge regions 42, 62 where no side panel is inserted into a corresponding side opening 31 of the profile construction 3.
On an edge region 42, 62, which serves to receive a side panel 31, corresponding cover profiles 16 are preferably provided, which serve as an outer boundary for a decorative panel 20 to be placed on the floor 41 of the base panel 4.
It is also conceivable to insert the cover profiles 15 here or to place the side panel 31 directly on the edge region 42, 62 of the base panel 4 or cover panel 6.
This aperture profile 16 does not extend to the vertical outer edge of the edge region 42 of the floor element, but only engages over a partial area of this edge region 42.
Near the vertical outer edge of the edge regions 42, 62 of the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6, respectively, holes 47 are provided which serve to accommodate and fix a fastening element 17, in particular a dowel, which is accommodated in corresponding holes 132 of a side panel 13, as can be seen in
The floor 41 or the top 61 are preferably provided with a rectangular cutout 411 in the corner region in which the receiving element 8 is mounted, into which a corner of the base 81 of the receiving element 8 can project, depending on the adjustment of the receiving element 8 on the base panel 4.
The cover profiles 15, 16 completely enclose this corner of the base 81 of the receiving element 8, so that a decorative panel 20 placed on the floor 41 can be formed without such a recess.
In order to make the vertical surfaces of the edge regions 42, 62 flush right into the corners, cover strips 84 are preferably also integrally formed on the receiving elements 8, as shown for example in
As shown in
For easy assembly of these side panels 13, an assembly tool 21 can be used, as shown in
As an alternative to the bearing arrangement by means of rolling elements 74 in raceways, a sliding bearing arrangement can also be provided, in which sliding elements are guided in suitably shaped sliding guides.
In the further embodiment variant of a furniture element 2 shown in
It is also conceivable to form the base receptacle out of the base panel 4.
In the rear corner, which cannot be seen in
The detail also shows the fixation of the decorative panel 20 by the cover profile 16. In addition, the decorative panel 20 is fixed here by the receiving element 8 (not shown here).
The subsequent fixation of the decorative panel 20 is important for the assembly/disassembly and for accommodating the cover on the top 61.
In the alternative similar embodiment variant according to
Depending on the size of the furniture element 2, this additional profiled element 5 can also be dispensed with, or several profiled elements 5 can be provided. There only has to be at least one profiled element 5, which is connected to the base panel 4 and the cover panel 6 via receiving elements 8.
Possibly, instead of the profiled element 5 in the form of a rounded corner piece, only a cover for the end edges of the decorative panels 19 can be used without fixing to the base panel 4 and cover panel 6 if the stability is sufficient.
Further additional alternative embodiment variants of such furniture elements 2 are shown in
In the front edge region 42 of the base panel 4, there is a further profiled element 5 in the variant according to
In the variants described with reference to
The piece of furniture according to the invention has a fixed furniture body and a furniture element rotatably mounted in the furniture body, in particular a shelf having at least one bearing plane, which is designed as described above.
It is also conceivable to fix the furniture element directly to a floor and/or ceiling of a building room or to an outdoor floor such as a balcony or terrace floor.
