DE8011237U1 - PARTITION, SUPPORT OR THE LIKE FOR A DRAWER IN SHEET - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a partition, support or the like for a drawer made of sheet metal, with on the underside the partition, support or the like arranged projections, which can be used in recesses in the bottom of the drawer are.

Partitions made of sheet metal for drawers made of sheet metal are known in which there are projections on the lower edges of the partitions or tabs that can be inserted into corresponding recesses or slots in the bottom of the drawer. A The disadvantage of such a dividing wall is that it counteracts lateral forces, for example from the index cards attached to it Objects, etc., can only be caught if the tabs tilt in the slots. Such partitions can thus only fulfill their function in an inclined position. The inclined position is largely dependent on the tolerances of the slots

and the sheet metal material of the tabs, which is often undesirable is. Because of the very shallow depth of the slots in the sheet metal bottom of the drawer, the forces on the edges of the Slots or on the tabs become very large, so that they bend. Because of the undefined tilt In addition, the upper sides of the partition walls are not used to hold objects such as insert trays.

In the case of wooden drawers, it is known to insert partitions into side slots, one of which is larger Number can be present, so that the partitions can be inserted at different points and thus the compartment sizes can be changed are. In the case of drawers made of sheet metal, however, such slots cannot be produced in a simple manner.

The invention is based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages of the known partition walls, that is to say a partition wall create that do not tilt, absorb large forces and can also serve as a holder with their upper edge. she should also easy to manufacture, reliable in use and also in a simple manner in differently arranged recesses be used at the bottom of a drawer made of sheet metal, so p

with which the torque of the partition or support due to supporting forces is introduced into the bottom of the sheet metal drawer will. The size of the specific forces is therefore reduced. In addition, the partition always remains in a defined, mostly desired upright position. This has the advantage that the upper edge of the partition always has a defined position, so that e.g. I between the upper edges of two adjacent inventive

the iKi cross-section U-shaped partition or support made of sheet metal and angled laterally opposite to the outside or at an angle. Due to the U-shaped training Both legs of the partition are resilient to each other, so that, for example, by pressing the legs together, the ends from the side obliquely and opposite outwardly directed tabs engage with corresponding slots on the bottom of the drawer can be brought. By springing apart, the inclined tabs push themselves further into the slots until the lower edge of the legs of the U-shaped profile of the partition wall comes to rest on the bottom of the drawer without any play remains. The inclination of the tabs can be selected depending on the forces that the partition wall is to absorb.

Of course it is also possible to use one instead of a U-profile V-shaped profile to choose what would be a special shape of the U-profile. In such a case, both side surfaces could the partition wall can be designed at an incline, its inclination could also be different, e.g. one could be exactly perpendicular stand while the other runs at an angle.

The invention is to be explained in more detail with the aid of the drawing.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of partitions according to the invention, used in a Sheet metal drawer,

FIG. 2 is a top view of the drawer according to FIG. 1.

Fig. 1 shows partition walls 1 and 2 according to an embodiment of the invention, which in cross section essentially Have a U-shaped profile with legs 3 and 4, between which a transverse part 5 extends from which in the illustration a fold 6 extends upwards.

At the end edges 7 and 8 of the legs 3 and 4 are obliquely downwardly bent tabs 9 and 10, which through Slots 11 and 12 in a bottom 13 of a drawer 14 grip. The legs 3 and 4 are slightly outwardly under tension, so that a backlash-free non-positive / positive connection between the tabs 9 and 10 is formed, the contact surfaces 15 and 16 tightly grip the outer edges of the slots 11 and 12 from behind.

Fig. 2 shows the drawer 14 according to FIG. 1 from above, so that the position of the tabs 9 and 10 and their lateral extent can be seen more clearly. It can also be seen that the partition 1 has a continuously identical cross section and that the fold 6 across the entire longitudinal extent to

Drawer extends.

It can also be seen from Fig. 2 that a large number

of slots 11 and 12 in the bottom 13 in the form of two rows are provided in the pushing direction of the drawer, in which the partitions 1 and 2 can be used as desired.

In Fig. 1, a shell 17 is placed on the transverse part 5 of the partition 1 and on a fold 18 of the drawer 14, the fold 6 preventing the shell 17 from slipping on the transverse part 5.

In addition, a shell 19 is inserted between the partitions 1 and 2, this shell being designed so that it laterally against the partition walls and cannot slip, so the folds 6 are not absolutely necessary in this case are.

No shell is inserted between the partition 2 and a rear wall 20, so that the entire space of the drawer is up to their bottom 13 is available. This is intended to make it clear be that the spaces between the partition walls 1 and 2 according to the invention can be used completely at will, since the upper edges of the partition walls formed by the transverse parts 5 or folds 6, of course, also completely with their side surfaces stand firm. For example, the partition wall 2 cannot incline backwards, so that the shell 19 cannot be separated from the transverse part either the partition 2 can slip off.
