Double-walled drawer sidewall

Abstract

A double-walled drawer sidewall includes an outer wall and an inner wall connected thereto. A rounded portion is provided at the rear lower end of the outer wall.

1 . A double-walled drawer side wall comprising: an outer wall, an inner wall connected to the outer wall, and a base for a drawer bottom, wherein—in a side view of the drawer side wall—a rounded configuration is provided at the rear lower end of the outer wall, and in that this rear lower end of the outer wall is located lower than the drawer bottom. 
     
     
         2 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the rounded configuration is formed at the outer wall itself. 
     
     
         3 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 2 , wherein the outer wall is flanged at the lower longitudinal edge. 
     
     
         4 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 3 , wherein in the region of the lower longitudinal edge—viewed in cross-section—the outer wall is bent in a substantially U-shaped configuration, wherein the bent portion extends at the inside of the outer wall. 
     
     
         5 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 3 , wherein the bent portion and the lower part of the outer wall—which part preferably extends substantially parallel to the portion—has substantially the same rounded configuration at the rear lower end thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer wall and the inner wall comprise a metal sheet—which is preferably between 0.1 mm and 2 mm and particularly preferably between 0.2 mm and 1 mm in thickness. 
     
     
         7 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer wall and preferably also the inner wall is provided with a coating, wherein said coating is also provided in the region of the end of the rounded configuration, that preferably extends substantially at a right angle to the adjoining outside surface of the outer wall. 
     
     
         8 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the rounded configuration is curved in a convex shape, for example substantially in the shape of a circular arc. 
     
     
         9 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 8 , wherein the radius of curvature of the circular arc is between 1 mm and 10 mm, preferably between 2 mm and 5 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the spacing of the rounded configuration from the intersection of the notional prolonged lower longitudinal edge of the outer wall with the notional prolonged rear vertical edge of the outer wall is at least 1 mm, preferably at least 2 mm, and is at most 2 cm. 
     
     
         11 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the rounded configuration is provided at a separate edge protection part connected to the outer wall—preferably by way of a latching connection. 
     
     
         12 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein in the lower region a drawer box rail which is portion-wise of a U-shaped profile is arranged between the outer wall and the inner wall and is connected to same. 
     
     
         13 . The double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , wherein the rounded configuration extends from the rear end of the straight lower longitudinal edge of the outer wall to the lower end of the straight rear vertical edge of the outer wall. 
     
     
         14 . A process for producing the double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 , comprising forming the rounded configuration at the rear lower end of the outer wall and then coating the drawer side wall together with the rounded configuration thereof. 
     
     
         15 . A process for producing the double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 11 , comprising shaping the drawer side wall, optionally coating same, and then fitting a rounded-off edge protection part at the rear lower end of the outer wall. 
     
     
         16 . A drawer comprising two oppositely disposed double-walled drawer side walls, each of the two oppositely disposed double-walled drawer side walls being configured as the double-walled drawer side wall according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         17 . The drawer according to  claim 16 , further comprising a forward front panel, a rear back wall, and a drawer bottom respectively connected—preferably releasably—to the drawer side walls.
