Abstract

A metal furniture-drawer rear wall having a rectangular large surface-area element, an upper-side element and an attachment element. The large surface-area element has two broad side surfaces spaced apart and opposite one another, two long side surfaces spaced apart and opposite one another, and two narrow side surfaces spaced apart and opposite one another. The upper-side element is provided adjacent a long side surface, the attachment element is provided adjacent a narrow side surface, and the upper-side element and the attachment element extend in the direction of a surface normal to a broad side surface so that the furniture-drawer rear wall extends by less than 20 mm in this direction. The attachment element has an assembly mechanism in order to be connected directly to a furniture fitting by means of a connecting element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A metal furniture-drawer rear wall comprising:
a rectangular element;
an upper-side element;
an under-side element; and
an attachment element,
wherein the rectangular element has six surfaces including a front face and an opposed back face spaced apart from one another, an upper-side surface and an opposed underside surface spaced apart from one another, and a first end surface and an opposed second end surface spaced apart from one another,
wherein the upper-side element is directly connected to the upper-side surface,
wherein the attachment element is directly connected to at least one of the first and second end surfaces,
wherein the upper-side element and the attachment element extend in a first direction that runs perpendicular with respect to the opposed front and back faces of the rectangular element, so that the furniture-drawer rear wall extends by less than 20 mm in the first direction,
wherein the upper-side element is bent over in an L-shaped manner and extends over more than two thirds of a length of the rectangular element,
wherein the under-side element is directly connected to the underside surface,
wherein the under-side element extends from a front side to a back side of the furniture-drawer rear wall,
wherein the under-side element comprises a fastening mechanism that is bent over in an L-shaped manner,
wherein the fastening mechanism directly contacts and is integral with respect to the under-side element,
wherein the fastening mechanism extends from a back side of the furniture-drawer rear wall proximate an end of the under-side element opposing the underside surface end of the under-side element toward a front side of the furniture-drawer rear wall to accommodate a drawer bottom,
wherein the fastening mechanism does not extend more than 20 mm in the first direction,
wherein the attachment element is adapted to be connected directly to a furniture fitting via a connecting element, and
wherein the metal furniture-drawer rear wall is a unitary body formed in one piece.

2. The furniture-drawer rear wall according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment element comprises an assembly mechanism having an opening or a through-bore.

3. The furniture-drawer rear wall according to claim 2 , wherein the opening or through-bore of the assembly mechanism has a thread.

4. The furniture-drawer rear wall according to claim 1 , wherein the furniture-drawer rear wall extends by less than 11 mm in the first direction.

5. The furniture-drawer rear wall according to claim 1 , wherein the furniture-drawer rear wall extends over precisely 8.3 mm in the first direction.

6. The furniture-drawer rear wall according to claim 1 , wherein the furniture-drawer rear wall comprises a metal panel having a wall thickness that is less than or equal to 1.5 mm.
