Definitions

• the present invention relates to a fastening element for rod-like components within a piece of furniture with a length compensation device.
• Rod-like components for furniture are used, for example, for attaching hinges to doors or the like. used.
• through holes are provided in the furniture and the rod-like components are fastened to the furniture wall by means of screws.
• the fastening screws are visible from the outside of the furniture.
• the smallest tolerance deviations in the length of the rod-like component mean that it can no longer be installed exactly in the furniture.
• DE 41 10 832 A1 discloses a releasable clamping connection in order to make a rod-shaped component variable in length. A stationary attachment of the component is not described. From US 3,951, 269 a rod that can be clamped between walls is known, but its load capacity is extremely low due to the fastening technology on the wall.
• the fastening element according to the invention for fastening rod-like components comprises a base part and an intermediate part.
• the base part can be attached to a furniture wall.
• the intermediate part has a head and a shaft with a thread.
• the shaft can be screwed into the rod-like component with a bore having an internal thread.
• the head of the intermediate part has a stop area which is in contact with the base part in the assembled state.
• the inventive design of the fastener has a length compensation, so that rod-like components can always be securely attached to the walls of a piece of furniture. The length compensation is achieved by screwing or unscrewing the intermediate part into or out of the bore in the rod-like component.
• the fastening element according to the invention can only be fastened to the inside of the furniture walls, so that it is not visible from an outside of the furniture.
• the design of the fastening element according to the invention further enables rod-like components to be clamped between two opposing furniture walls.
• the base part advantageously has an external thread which can be brought into engagement with an internal thread of a sleeve, so that the sleeve can be screwed onto the base part.
• a beveled area is formed on the base part in order to come into contact with the stop area. If the stop area of the intermediate part is also designed as a beveled area, this results in a particularly good clamping effect between the base part and the intermediate part.
• two laterally flattened areas are formed on the head of the intermediate part.
• a tool can be attached to the head of the intermediate part in a simple manner, so that the rod-like component can be clamped in easily.
• the base part preferably has an elongated hole for fastening to the furniture wall.
• the elongated hole is particularly preferably offset from a center of the base part. This allows the largest possible deviations to be compensated for.
• the sleeve preferably has an inner groove in order to accommodate a sealing ring.
• the sealing ring can be designed as a simple O-ring and made of plastic or rubber.
• the Sealing ring so that the sleeve does not slip onto the base part on the rod when it is not screwed on.
• the sleeve has an inner stop area.
• This inner stop area can be used in particular to indicate when the intermediate part is screwed too far out of the rod-like component.
• two flattened regions lying opposite one another are preferably formed on the sleeve.
• the fastening element according to the invention particularly preferably enables length compensation in the range of approximately ⁇ 4 mm.
• a fastening element which has a length compensation and can be fastened to a piece of furniture on the inside of the furniture without the need for through holes in the furniture walls.

• Figure 11 is a sectional view taken along the line C-C of Figure 11 and
• Figure 12 a perspective view of the sleeve.
• the fastening element 1 comprises a base part 4, an intermediate part 8 and a sleeve 14.
• the base part 4 has an external thread 5 and an elongated hole 6.
• the elongated hole 6 is offset from a center line X-X of the base part 4, so that there is the greatest possible compensation for the assembly of the fastening element.
• the intermediate part 8 consists of a shaft 9 and a head 10 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).
• the shaft 9 has a thread and on the head 0 two opposed, flattened areas 12 and 13 are formed in order to be able to attach a tool.
• the head 10 comprises an inclined stop area 11 on its upper side. In the assembled state of the fastening element, the stop area 11 of the intermediate part 8 is in contact with a stop area 7 of the base part 4.
• the stop areas 7 and 11 are preferably designed with the same inclination.
• the sleeve 14 has an internal thread 15, an inner stop area 16 and a groove 17. Furthermore, two flattened areas 18 and 19 lying opposite one another are formed on the outside of the sleeve 14 in order to be able to attach a tool to the sleeve 14.
• the groove 17 serves to receive an O-ring 21 in order to protect the fastening element 1 from dust and dirt.
• the internal thread 15 of the sleeve 14 is in engagement with the external thread 5 of the base part 4.
• a hole is provided in the furniture wall, in which a threaded sleeve 23 is arranged, which has an internal thread.
• the base part 4 is aligned with the furniture wall 3 and fastened in the threaded sleeve 23 by means of a screw 22.
• the base part 4 is fixedly attached to the furniture wall 3 without the furniture wall 3 having to have a through hole. The attachment is therefore not visible from the outside of the furniture.
• the intermediate part 8 is screwed into a threaded bore 20 on the end face of the rod 2 (cf. FIG. 3).
• I I of the intermediate part 8 is in contact with the stop area 7 of the base part 4.
• the rod 2 is clamped between two walls of the furniture.
• a second fastening element according to the invention can be provided at the other end of the rod 2 or the rod 2 can simply be screwed into a screw embedded in the furniture wall 3. Since the stop area 11 of the intermediate part 8 and the stop area 7 of the base part 4 are each formed obliquely, a centering of the rod 2 is made possible by the clamping.
• the sleeve 14 is pushed over the intermediate part 8 and screwed onto the external thread 5 of the base part 4.
• the fastening element 1 is effectively protected against dust or dirt.
• the stop area 16 of the sleeve 14 comes with the underside of the head 10 of the intermediate part 8 in contact and thus prevents the clamping connection between the intermediate part 8 and the base part 4 from coming loose.
• the sleeve 14 further ensures that the fastening element 1 cannot unintentionally come loose.
• the sleeve 14 is simply unscrewed again from the base part 4 and the intermediate part 8 is screwed back into the bore 20 in the rod 2, so that the intermediate part 8 is moved away from the base part 4 and the rod 2 together with the intermediate part 8 from the IO Furniture can be removed.
• the present invention thus relates to a fastening element 1 with a length compensation, which is used for fastening rod-like components 2 of a piece of furniture.
• the fastening element 1 comprises
• the intermediate part 8 connects the base part 4 with the rod-like component 2.
• the intermediate part 8 has on the shaft 9 Thread, which can be screwed into a bore 20 with an internal thread in the rod-like component 2.
• the head 10 of the intermediate part 8 has a stop region 11, which is in contact with the base part 4 in the assembled state.
