Definitions

the invention relates to a base foot for the height-adjustable arrangement of furniture bodies on shelves.
Such base feet are known in multiple embodiments.
a box-like sliding foot element for base systems in furniture construction results.
the sliding foot element is held on the furniture body by dowel parts and has a central plug-in area, in which the furniture foot is inserted for mounting and is held there against rotation.
Such base foot elements are at least two-part in terms of their structure and require an assembly process to be brought into their final shape, which can be problematic due to the poor accessibility at the installation site.
the invention has the object of specifying a base foot which combines the weight advantages of a hollow foot element with the static advantages of a compact base foot, all the advantages of use of such base feet being retained.
a hollow body open to the furniture body is used with a peripheral contact edge in the form of a polygon, from which contact edge flat and / or tapering side walls run into a trapezoidal, narrow stand area for unloading the contact edge forming the contact edge.
the base foot designed according to the invention as a hollow body that is open on one side, can be produced by injection molding, blowing or deep drawing. It is closed on all sides except for the opening facing the furniture body and has side walls that run in a sloping surface to increase the static values or taper in curves from the edge of the installation to a narrower base.
this design of the side walls brings a strong increase in the load-bearing capacity, so that the wall thickness of the partial hollow body according to the invention can be kept correspondingly low. This in turn increases the economy of the base foot according to the invention.
the resilience of the base foot is further increased by the fact that the side walls run over the entire height of the base foot and converge in lateral edge regions, the edge edges forming the ends of the partial hollow body in the narrow edge regions.
Bead-like indentations running from top to bottom are advantageously embedded in the area of the marginal edges. These bead-like recesses also increase the resilience of the base foot according to the invention. These indentations are also provided so that panels or similar attachments provided with corresponding clamp elements can be connected to the base foot according to the invention in its operating position by simple latching.
recesses extending from the contact edge inward into the cavity at 90 ° to the contact edge are advantageously embedded, which run downward into the side walls as bead-like recesses.
These two-dimensional formations serve to accommodate fasteners, which can be molded-on dowel elements, for example, simultaneously with the manufacture of the base foot according to the invention.
the flat shapes can just as well have openings through which screws, push-in dowels, etc. are inserted for fastening the base foot to the base of the furniture body. It is also possible to use a combination between the fixed fastening elements described and the loose fastening elements.
the trapezoidal standing area can have a constriction in its central area, which divides the standing area into two partial areas. From the bottom: the constricted surface can have a threaded bolt formed during manufacture for the set screw.
This adjusting screw is advantageously held flush with the base in the rest position. As a result of the possibility of reaching through the open hollow body to form a twist in the set screw, this can be twisted from above through the body for fine adjustment. The rotation itself can also be done from the outside by indentations on the edge of the adjusting screw itself.
the footprint of the base foot according to the invention is arranged diagonally to the polygon forming the contact edge at the open area of the partial hollow body. As a result, the footprint has the greatest possible length for getting up, which has an optimal effect, in particular when it comes to load distribution in the operating state.
the pedestal foot according to the invention combines the advantage of a light structure with a correspondingly low material consumption with the strength of a compact pedestal foot. This is achieved by the special design of the side walls in combination with the beads and the fact that the partial hollow body according to the invention forms a closed hollow element except for the opening in the region of the contact edge. In this way, the specially designed side walls with the beadings distributed over the area establish the optimal load-bearing capacity. and the excellent load distribution.
the contact edge of the hollow body open to the furniture body can correspond all the way to the thickness of the hollow body wall. In this area, the contact edge can also be widened or strengthened outwards and / or inwards if a larger contact surface between the contact edge and the furniture body underbody is desired.
the arrangement of the adjusting screw according to the invention between the two partial areas of the standing area is also particularly advantageous.
These two partial areas of the standing area form two closed partial hollow bodies, each with an opening for concavity of the large partial hollow body. In this way, the strength of the base foot forming the large partial hollow body is further increased.
the set screw is arranged protected between the side walls of these small partial hollow bodies facing each other.
Fig. 1 shows the base foot -1 in side view.
the base foot 1 is formed by the side walls 12, 13, 14 extending from the contact edge 11.
the side walls 12, 13 run in curves and taper downward from the contact edge 11 into the base area 15.
the side walls 14 extend in a flat shape. From the illustration shown it follows that dowel elements 2, 3, 4 protrude at the top in the area of the contact element. These dowel elements can be firmly connected to the assigned shelves - not shown in the drawing.
the head of the set screw 5 with engagement slots 51 can be seen in the area of the standing surface 15.
the front view of the base foot 1 in FIG. 2 shows that the bead-like indentation 121 is embedded in the side wall 12 extending from the contact edge 11 in a curve.
this bead-like indentation 121 ends in a flat shape, not shown in the drawing, which in turn serves as a base for the dowel 2.
Fig. 3 shows the base foot 1 according to the invention in a view from below.
This illustration clearly shows the dimensions in which the narrow footprint 15 stands relative to the polygon delimited by the contact edge 11.
the rear side wall 12 which runs in a curve and in which the bead-like indentation 121 is embedded.
the bead-like indentation 121 is pulled up to the top in the areas of the contact edge 11 and extends in this area into the flat shape 122 into which a push-through opening 123 is made.
the position of the adjusting screw 5 can be clearly seen between the two standing surface areas 15.
the embossments 151 are let in, which can pass from the standing surface 15 into the area of the system edge 11.
the rounded front side wall 13 is delimited by the edges 152 of the beads 151. In the area of the contact edge 11, further openings 131, 132 are made in the rounded side wall 13. The basis of these openings 131, 132 are the flat formations 133, 134, which form the conclusion of the corresponding bead-like formations in the side wall 13.
Fig. 4 shows the base foot 1 according to the invention in plan view.
the contact edge 11 runs into the rounded side wall 13 in the upper area, while it runs into the rounded side wall 12 in the lower area.
the rounded side wall 12 carries the flat shape 122, into which the push-through opening 123 is made near the edge. Above the push-through opening 123 is in the plane of the flat extension.
Forming 122 a dowel element 124 is integrally formed, which can be connected in one piece to the flat formation 122.
the stand area 15 with its two partial areas in the illustration.
the central area of the standing surface 15 is interrupted by constriction 18, in the middle of which the opening 182 is arranged as a passage opening for the adjusting screw 5.
the recesses 151 are let in directed upwards.
planar formations 125, 126 which carry molded-on dowel elements 1251, 1261, are arranged running inward from the contact edge 11.
the dowel elements 1251, 1261 and the dowel element 124 are arranged at right angles to one another.
the rounded side wall 13 extends in the upper region into the flat formation 130, from which the flat formations 133, 134 protrude, into which the openings 131, - 132 are made. Like the opening 123, these openings serve, for example, to pass through through-hole plugs.
the dowel elements 124, 1251, 1261, 1271 and the push-through openings 123, 131, 132 can be formed or arranged one after the other in the flat formations 122, 125, 126, 130, 133, 134.
This variation possibility also relates to the number of individual fastening elements that can be set up as required. 4 accordingly shows only one exemplary embodiment of the arrangement options of such fastening elements and options.
