Drawer, Drawer Construction and Method for Manufacturing a Drawer

Abstract

A method for manufacturing drawers in which the drawers comprise walls, and a bottom. At least first and second walls comprise a tongue and a groove with locking parts. The respective groove is provided on the interior side of the first wall, whereas the respective tongue is provided on the distal end of the second wall. The first and second walls are manufactured of respectively one board.

1 . A drawer, which comprises at least a front wall, rear wall two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein the rear wall is connected to at least one of the sidewalls by means of mutually cooperating locking profiles, whereas the front wall is connected to at least one of the sidewalls by means of connection means other than locking profiles. 
     
     
         2 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein the rear wall is connected to both sidewalls by means of locking profiles. 
     
     
         3 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein the front wall is connected to both sidewalls by means of connection means other than locking profiles. 
     
     
         4 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein the front wall is connected to the respective sidewall, and preferably both sidewalls, by means of connection means which are different from locking profiles, however, which are made such that the front wall can be inserted with its rear side onto the distal front ends of the sidewalls, whether or not with additional auxiliary means. 
     
     
         5 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection means between the front wall and the sidewalls consist of separate connection elements, which cooperate with openings, more particularly bore holes, which are provided in the rear side of the front wall and/or the ends of the sidewalls, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection elements consist of dowels, pins or the like, whether or not combined with integrated locking and/or tensioning systems. 
     
     
         7 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein the dowels consist of mechanically locking dowels. 
     
     
         8 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein it makes use of locking profiles exclusively for the connection between the rear wall and the sidewalls, and that the component parts thereof for composing the drawer further only make use of bore holes in which connection elements can be mounted. 
     
     
         9 . The drawer according to  claim 1 , wherein it shows a construction having one or more of the following characteristics:
 the locking profiles are laterally insertable, such by means of an angling and/or snap movement;   the front wall consists of only one wall part, which thus also forms the front part of the drawer;   the front wall is made as a front panel, which, with its rear side, is turned towards the narrow front ends of the sidewalls;   the rear wall is situated between the sidewalls;   the sidewalls are provided with openings and/or recesses for attaching fittings, more particularly for attaching thereto parts of a fitting mechanism for retractably supporting the drawer.   
     
     
         10 . A drawer, which comprises at least a front wall, a rear wall, two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein both sidewalls are connected to both the front wall and the rear wall by means of profiles which fit into each other in a locking manner and which use a tongue and groove with locking parts, wherein these profiles can be inserted laterally into each other, characterized in that the front wall is attached directly to the sidewalls and that the connection between the front wall and the sidewalls is achieved in that the respective tongues are provided distally on the foremost ends of the sidewalls, wherein these tongues are realized as solid tongue profiles and thus not split, wherein the respective grooves are situated on the rear side of the front wall, and wherein the tongues fit into the respective grooves by means of an angling movement. 
     
     
         11 . A drawer, which comprises at least a front wall, a rear wall, two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein the drawer combines at least the following characteristics:
 the front wall is connected to the sidewalls by means of mutually cooperating locking profiles which laterally fit into each other, this by means of an angling movement, wherein the sidewalls can be attached to the front wall, in respect to the drawer to be formed, by means of an angling movement from the inside towards the outside;   the rear wall is connected to the sidewalls by means of locking means other than locking profiles.   
     
     
         12 . The drawer according to  claim 11 , wherein the rear wall is situated between the sidewalls and that the rear wall is connected to the sidewalls by means of coupling means which allow attaching the sidewalls laterally onto the distal ends of the rear wall, preferably by means of dowels or the like. 
     
     
         13 . The drawer according to  claim 11 , wherein the dowels are put through the sidewalls. 
     
     
         14 . A drawer, which comprises at least a front wall, rear wall, two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein the drawer combines at least the following characteristics:
 the front wall is connected to the sidewalls by means of mutually cooperating locking profiles which laterally fit into each other, this preferably by means of an angling movement;   the rear wall is connected to the sidewalls by means of dowels or the like, which are put through the sidewalls up into the distal ends of the rear wall.   
     
     
         15 . A drawer, which comprises at least a front wall, rear wall, two sidewalls, and a bottom, wherein the drawer combines at least the following characteristics:
 at least one of the walls, preferably the front wall, is attached with its interior side on opposite sides to the two distal ends of the two walls adjoining thereto, by means of locking profiles formed by grooves in the interior sides and tongues on the distal ends;   the tongues and grooves are realized such that such tongue can be inserted into the pertaining groove without any turning or almost without any turning, by means of an inclined displacement, whereas an insertion of the tongue into the groove by means of a displacement perpendicular to said interior side is impossible;   the whole of the drawer is configured such that, once the whole is assembled, the inclined displacement is made impossible and sliding apart again is prevented.
