Abstract

There is provided a trim profile covering fixture with at least one side covering element with a longitudinal axis, for a trim profile of a movable furniture component, in particular a drawer, wherein the side covering element has at least one mounting projection which may be inserted into an assigned mounting location on the trim profile and is held there in the inserted state, wherein the mounting projection has at least one clamping jaw which may be braced by an inner surface of the mounting location.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A trim profile covering fixture, comprising:
at least one elongated side covering element with a longitudinal axis, the side covering element including at least one mounting projection extending transverse to the longitudinal axis, each insertable into and held in an assigned mounting location on a trim profile of a movable furniture component in an inserted state,
wherein the assigned mounting location comprises a holding rail formed by opposed brackets extending outward from a rear surface of the trim profile,
wherein the at least one side covering element comprises an elongated base section having a length extending in a direction of the longitudinal axis and an elongated rail section transversely connected to a longitudinal edge of the base section, the rail section forming an outer side termination of the trim profile in the inserted state,
wherein the elongated base section includes at least one recess aligned transversely to the longitudinal axis,
wherein the at least one mounting projection is located within the at least one recess and has opposed clamping jaws configured to be insertable into the holding rail and braced by an inner surface of the opposed brackets, and
wherein the at least one side covering element further includes at least one mounting interface located opposite the clamping jaws and extending outward from a side face of the elongated base section.

2. The trim profile covering fixture of claim 1 , further comprising at least one trim fastener configured to mount the trim profile on a part of the movable furniture component, and wherein the at least one mounting interface is configured to fix the trim fastener to the trim profile.

3. The trim profile covering fixture of claim 2 , wherein the at least one mounting projection has a base section on which the clamping jaws are movably mounted.

4. The trim profile covering fixture of claim 3 , wherein the clamping jaws mounted on the base section of the at least one mounting projection are movable in opposite directions to one another.

5. The trim profile covering fixture of claim 3 ,
wherein the opposed brackets of the holding rail, together with the rear surface of the trim profile, form a C-shaped profile in cross-section, and
wherein the base section of the at least one mounting projection has a T-shaped cross-section including a neck section and two leg sections oriented opposite to one another starting from the neck section.

6. The trim profile covering fixture of claim 3 , wherein the at least one mounting interface is a mounting projection located opposite the clamping jaws and extending outward from the side face of the elongated base section.

7. An assembly comprising the trim profile covering fixture of claim 1 and the trim profile,
wherein the trim profile comprises at least one of the mounting locations shaped as a C-profile rail in cross-section, and
wherein the C-profile rail includes the opposed brackets arranged in mirror-image to one another which extend outward from the rear surface of the trim profile.

8. The assembly of claim 7 ,
wherein the at least one mounting location comprises two of the mounting locations shaped as a C-profile rail in cross-section, and
wherein each C-profile rail includes the opposed brackets arranged in mirror-image to one another which extend outward from the rear surface of the trim profile.

9. The assembly of claim 7 ,
wherein the trim profile further comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, and
wherein a rail-shaped holding bracket is connected to the rear surface along the top edge and another holding rail with a C-shape profile in cross-section is provided in an area of the rear surface along the bottom edge for holding functional parts of the at least one side covering element.

10. The assembly of claim 9 , wherein the functional parts comprise a push-in tongue at a top section of the at least one side covering element which is insertable into the holding bracket, and a further push-in tongue at a bottom section of the at least one side covering element which is insertable into the another holding rail.

11. The assembly of claim 9 ,
wherein the trim profile further includes a holding slot extending over the rear surface above the another holding rail, and
wherein the functional parts further include a push-in tongue smaller than the other push-in tongues which is insertable into the holding slot.

12. The assembly of claim 7 ,
wherein the trim profile covering fixture further includes at least one trim fastener configured to mount the trim profile to a side frame of the movable furniture component, and
wherein the at least one trim fastener has a latching section on which a latching element is mounted for insertion into a latching location provided on the side frame.

13. The assembly of claim 12 ,
wherein the at least one trim fastener has a mounting section which includes two mounting legs extending out over a width of the latching section, and
wherein each mounting leg is provided with a mounting hole and a recess to enable fixing of the trim fastener to the at least one side covering element.

14. The assembly of claim 13 ,
wherein an actuator extending through the mounting hole and recess effects fixing of the at least one trim fastener to the at least one side covering element.

15. A drawer comprising the trim profile covering fixture of claim 1 and the trim profile,
wherein the trim profile has at least one of the mounting locations shaped as a C-profile rail in cross-section, and
wherein the C-profile rail includes the opposed brackets arranged in mirror-image to one another which extend outward from the rear surface of the trim profile.

16. A trim profile covering fixture, comprising:
at least one elongated side covering element with a longitudinal axis, the side covering element including at least one mounting projection, each insertable into and held in an assigned mounting location on a trim profile of a movable furniture component in an inserted state, and
at least one trim fastener configured to mount the trim profile on a part of the movable furniture component,
wherein the assigned mounting location comprises a holding rail formed by opposed brackets extending outward from a rear surface of the trim profile,
wherein the at least one side covering element comprises a base section of elongated shape and a rail section connected to a longitudinal edge of the base section, the rail section forming an outer side termination of the trim profile,
wherein the base section includes at least one recess aligned transversely to the longitudinal axis,
wherein the at least one mounting projection is located within the at least one recess and has opposed clamping jaws configured to be insertable into the holding rail and braced by an inner surface of the opposed brackets,
wherein the at least one side covering element further includes at least one mounting interface to fix the trim fastener to the trim profile, and
wherein the at least one mounting interface is connected to the at least one mounting projection such that an actuator for bracing of the clamping jaws also effects fixing of the at least one trim fastener to the at least one mounting interface.

17. The trim profile covering fixture of claim 16 , wherein the actuator comprises at least one screw.

18. A trim profile covering fixture, comprising:
at least one elongated side covering element with a longitudinal axis, the side covering element including at least one mounting projection, each insertable into and he
