Abstract

The draw out security stop (1) is for drawers in a drawer rack mounted on telescopic rails (2). The stop can be mounted below the rail and is operated by the weight of the drawer operates on the telescopic rail and the rack. The stop can have a holder (5) on the rear side of the drawer. The holder can support the stop rod (10) via a rotary link (6).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Sicherung eines an Teleskopschienen ausgezogenen Einschubs in einem Rack.The invention relates to an arrangement for securing a retracted on telescopic rails insert in a rack.

Normalerweise werden Einschübe in einem Rack an Teleskopschienen aufgehängt, an denen sie dann aus dem Rack herausgezogen werden können. Es ist bekannt, daß bei manchen Teleskopschienen Vorrichtungen vorgesehen sind, durch welche ein zu leichtes Einschieben verhindert wird. In der US-A-2730423 ist eine-derartige Vorrichtung bei einer Kommode offenbart.Typically, bays are hung in a rack on telescopic rails, where they can then be pulled out of the rack. It is known that in some telescopic rails devices are provided by which too easy insertion is prevented. In the US-A-2730423 Such a device is disclosed in a chest of drawers.

Das Problem bei derartigen Racks ist, dass eine kraft senkrecht zur Ausziehrichtung auf die Teleskopschienen wirkt. Das kann zu einer Federwirkung, Durchbiegung oder in extremen Fällen zu einem Bruch der Teleskopschiene führen.The problem with such racks is that a force acts perpendicular to the withdrawal direction on the telescopic rails. This can lead to a spring action, deflection or in extreme cases to a breakage of the telescopic rail.

Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, daß, falls ein Einschub zu schwer ist oder mehrere Einschübe gleichzeitig ausgezogen sind, das Rack nach vorne kippen kann, wobei beim Kippvorgang von unten her die einzelnen herausstehenden Einschübe in das Rack hineingedrückt werden, bis es komplett nach vorne umgefallen ist. Dadurch können sowohl Rack als auch Einschübe beschädigt werden.Another disadvantage is that if one slot is too heavy or multiple slots are pulled out at the same time, the rack can tilt forward, with the tilting process from below, the individual protruding slots are pushed into the rack until it has fallen completely forward , This can damage both the rack and the slots.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Teleskopschienen von der Gewichtskraft der Einschübe zu entlasten und einen sicheren Schutz vor dem kompletten Umkippen des Racks zu gewährleisten.The invention is therefore based on the object to relieve the telescopic rails of the weight of the bays and to ensure safe protection against the complete overturning of the rack.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß im ausgezogenen Zustand ein Einschub mit einer Arretierung unterhalb der Teleskopschienen, an denen der Einschub aufgehängt ist, festgelegt ist.The object is achieved in that in the extended state, a drawer with a lock below the telescopic rails on which the drawer is suspended, is fixed.

Da die Arretierung unterhalb der Teleskopschienen angreift, findet eine Kräfteverteilung statt, so daß die vertikalen Gewichtskräfte auf das Rack umgelenkt sind und die Teleskopschienen mehr auf Zug in ihrer Ausziehrichtung belastet sind.Since the lock engages below the telescopic rails, a distribution of forces takes place, so that the vertical weight forces are deflected to the rack and the telescopic rails are loaded more on train in their pull-out.

Ein Vorteil der Arretierung besteht darin, daß der ausgezogene Einschub auch seitlich stabilisiert ist. Die seitliche Fixierung und Stabilisierung im ausgezogenen Zustand des Einschubes ist insbesondere beim seitlichen Modultausch von Bedeutung, da hier große Belastungen auf den Einschub und die Teleskopschienen wirken.An advantage of the lock is that the extended drawer is also stabilized laterally. The lateral fixation and stabilization in the extended state of the insert is particularly important in the lateral exchange of modules of importance, since there are large loads on the insert and the telescopic rails.

Ebenso von Vorteil ist, daß bei eingerasteter Arretierung ein Kippen nach vorne nur noch so weit möglich ist, bis die vordere Unterkante des ausgezogenen Einschubs den Boden berührt.It is also advantageous that when latched locking tilting forward is only so far possible until the front lower edge of the extended drawer touches the ground.

Eine bestmögliche Kräfteumleitung wird erzielt, indem die Teleskopschienen an der oberen Hälfte des Einschubs befestigt sind, und die Arretierung ganz unten an der Rückseite des Einschubs angreift.For best possible force redirection, secure the telescopic rails to the top half of the drawer and engage the detent at the very bottom of the rear of the drawer.

Durch die Arretierung ergibt sich auch eine seitliche Führung und Stabilität im eingeschobenen zustand. Insbesondere beim Transport werden dadurch zu große Kräfte auf die Teleskopschienen vermieden.By locking also gives lateral guidance and stability in the inserted state. In particular, during transport too large forces are avoided on the telescopic rails.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings.

In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

Figur 1
eine Seitenansicht eines Racks mit einem ausgezoge- nen Einschub und einer festgelegten Arretierung,
Figur 2
einen Schnitt durch ein Rack und einen Einschub mit Blick auf die Arretierung,
Figur 3

In the drawings show:
FIG. 1
a side view of a rack with an extended slot and a fixed lock,
FIG. 2
a section through a rack and a slot with a view of the lock,
FIG. 3
a view according to FIG. 2 with half inserted slot.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines Racks 4 mit einem an Teleskopschienen 2 ausgezogenen Einschub 3 und einer erfindungsgemäßen Arretierung 1. FIG. 1 shows a side view of a rack 4 with an extended on telescopic rails 2 slot 3 and a locking device 1 according to the invention.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Schnitt durch die Anordnung von Figur 1, mit der Arretierung 1 und einer Führungsschiene 9. FIG. 2 shows a section through the arrangement of FIG. 1 , with the lock 1 and a guide rail. 9

An der Rückseite des Einschubs 3, die zum Rack 4 zeigt, ist an der Unterseite eine Halterung 5 befestigt, welche über ein Drehgelenk 6 mit einem Arretierstab 10 verbunden ist.At the back of the insert 3, which faces the rack 4, a holder 5 is fixed to the underside, which is connected via a rotary joint 6 with a locking rod 10.

An der dem Drehgelenk 6 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Arretierstabes 10 befindet sich ein Arretierknopf 8, der in einen Führungsschlitz 11 der Führungsschiene 9 eingreift und in diesem geführt wird.At the opposite side of the rotary joint 6 of the locking rod 10 is a locking button 8 which engages in a guide slot 11 of the guide rail 9 and is guided in this.

Die Führungsschiene 9 besteht aus einer Metallschiene, in die der Führungsschlitz 11 so eingefräst ist, daß bei vollständig ausgezogenem Einschub 3 der Arretierknopf 8 einrastet.The guide rail 9 consists of a metal rail, in which the guide slot 11 is milled so that when completely withdrawn insert 3 of the locking button 8 engages.

Bei vollständig eingeschobenem Einschub 3 klappt der Arretierstab 10 wegen der Biegung des Führungsschlitzes 11 nach oben, so daß der Einschub 3 trotz Arretierung 1 vollständig im Rack 4 versenkt ist, bei gleichen Aussenmaßen wie ein Rack ohne Arretierung 1.When fully inserted slot 3 of the locking rod 10 works because of the bending of the guide slot 11 upwards, so that the slot 3 is completely recessed despite locking 1 in the rack 4, with the same external dimensions as a rack without lock. 1

Zwischen Arretierknopf 8 und Drehgelenk 6 ist eine Entriegelung 7 angebracht, die auf Zug den Arretierstab 10 so nach oben bewegt, daß der Arretierknopf 8 aus seiner eingerasteten Stellung ausrastet und in dem Führungsschlitz 11 frei beweglich ist.Between locking knob 8 and pivot 6, an unlocking 7 is attached to the lock rod 10 so moves upward that the locking button 8 disengages from its locked position and is freely movable in the guide slot 11.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Ansicht gemäß Figur 2 mit halb eingeschobenem Einschub 3, die die Beweglichkeit des Arretierstabes zeigt. FIG. 3 shows a view according to FIG. 2 with half inserted slot 3, which shows the mobility of the locking rod.
