Abstract

A drawer wall element for a drawer. An edge portion of a drawer base can be installed thereon, forming a drawer side wall. The drawer wall element comprises a profiled wall part and a profiled base-receiving part. A support surface is present on the profiled base-receiving part. The profiled wall part comprises a chamber portion having inner and outer wall sheet metal portions, spaced from one another in an opposing manner across a width of the drawer wall element and connected by a bent section. A bearing portion is angled upwards towards the support surface. A web portion is provided on the profiled base-receiving part above and spaced from the support surface. At least one freely resilient tab protrudes past the support surface or the side of the web portion facing the support surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A drawer wall element for a drawer, on which an edge portion of a drawer base can be installed in order to form a drawer side wall adjoining the drawer base,
wherein the drawer wall element comprises a profiled wall part and a profiled base-receiving part,
wherein a support surface which is present on the profiled base-receiving part is provided on the drawer wall element in order to support the underside of the drawer base which can be installed on the drawer wall element,
and wherein the profiled wall part comprises a chamber portion having an inner wall sheet metal portion and an outer wall sheet metal portion, which are distanced from one another in an opposing manner across a width dimension of the drawer wall element and are connected by a bent section,
wherein a bearing portion is provided which is angled upwards towards the support surface, and wherein a web portion is provided on the profiled base-receiving part to face the support surface above and at a distance from the support surface, the web portion adjoining the bearing portion by means of a bent material section, and
wherein at least one freely resilient tab which protrudes past the surface of the support surface or the side of the web portion facing the support surface is provided in at least one of the support surface and in the web portion.

2. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the web portion bridges a distance between the outer wall sheet metal portion and the inner wall sheet metal portion.

3. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bearing portion bears against the outer wall sheet metal portion.

4. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bearing portion is flat.

5. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tab is freely punched from the material of the profiled base-receiving part.

6. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a bent section formed on the tab, by means of which bent section the tab is pressed against an adjacent drawer base.

7. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tab has a bent section between a connection to the profiled base-receiving part and a freely protruding end.

8. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tab has an eyelet at a freely protruding end for passing through a fastening element.

9. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the eyelet on the tab is formed as a slot.

10. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tab is continuously connected to a portion of the profiled base-receiving part disposed perpendicularly to the support surface.

11. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the tab is connected continuously to the bearing portion.

12. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a counter holding element formed on the profiled base-receiving part and arranged on a surface opposite the tab and protruding in the direction of the tab.

13. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profiled base-receiving part is hidden by the outer wall sheet metal portion of the profiled wall part at least from the support surface and from above.

14. The drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the web portion is supported on the inner wall sheet metal portion.

15. A piece of furniture comprising a drawer wall element as claimed in claim 1 .
