Abstract

A covering device is proposed for a surface side of a wall element, more particularly a side rail of a drawer, with which an aperture in the surface side of the wall element can be covered wherein the covering device has attachment means with which the covering device can be attached to the aperture. According to the invention the attachment means comprise several detent elements which are different from one another wherein the different detent elements are adapted for engagement on different wall thicknesses.

First claim

1 . A covering device for a surface side of a wall element, more particularly a side rail of a drawer, with which an aperture in the surface side of the wall element can be covered, wherein the covering device has an attachment mechanism with which the covering device can be attached to the aperture, wherein the attachment mechanism comprises several detent elements which are different from one another, wherein the different detent elements are adapted to engage on different wall thicknesses.

2 . The covering device according to claim 1 , wherein the covering device has a plate-like basic body.

3 . The covering device according to claim 2 , wherein one of the detent elements parallel to a first covering surface of the basic body which is provided for an arrangement facing the wall element, is connected elastically resiliently to the basic body.

4 . The covering device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the detent elements has a block-shaped projection with a contact bearing face facing outwards relative to the next edge section, and with an off-set face opposite the first covering surface and adjoining the first contact bearing face at an angle.

5 . The covering device according to claim 4 , wherein the contact bearing face of one of the detent elements is arranged at right angles to a surface section of the covering surface which is provided for bearing flat against the surface side of the wall element.

6 . The covering device according to claim 4 , wherein an off-set edge, at which the first contact bearing face adjoins the off-set face, of a first of the detent elements has a distance from the first covering surface which is different from a corresponding distance of an off-set edge of a second of the detent elements.

7 . The covering device according to claim 3 , wherein at least two of the detent elements with differently spaced off-set faces are arranged on a common outline section surface of the first covering surface.

8 . The covering device according to claim 4 , wherein the first contact bearing faces of at least two of the detent elements with differently spaced off-set faces are aligned in agreement in the same direction.

9 . The covering device according to claim 4 , wherein the first contact bearing faces of the at least two detent elements with differently spaced off-set faces lie in a common plane perpendicular to the covering surface.

10 . The covering device according to claim 3 , wherein the first covering surface has a rectangular outline.

11 . The covering device according to claim 10 , wherein several of the detent elements are arranged on a common straight outline section of the covering surface wherein at least two of the detent elements differ in that their off-set edges are arranged on the same outline section at different distances from the covering surface.

12 . The covering device according to claim 2 , wherein the projection of one of the detent elements is attached to a free-standing swing section of an elastically deformable bar wherein the latter is fixedly connected at two opposite ends to the basic body each by a support column projecting up from the covering surface.

13 . The covering device according to claim 12 , wherein the bar has a curved shape.

14 . A wall element with a covering device according to claim 1 .

15 . A furniture article with a covering device according to claim 1 .
