Retaining clip for securing a wall element of an item of furniture to a furniture structure and item of furniture having at least one retaining clip

An item of furniture, comprising:

• a wall element and a retaining clip for securing the wall element to a furniture structure;
• wherein the retaining clip comprises:
• a securing section configured to secure the retaining clip to the wall element, the securing section having a first edge section and a second edge section;
• a stop section which extends away from the first edge section of the securing section in a first direction and is configured to abut a first structural element of the furniture structure;
• and
• a resilient clip section which extends away from the second edge section of the securing section in a second direction different from the first direction and is resiliently movable between an insertion position permitting insertion of the wall element into the furniture structure and a retaining position engaging a second structural element of the furniture structure behind the second structural element;
• and
• wherein the wall element is planar and comprises:
• lateral surfaces;
• first and second end faces forming a corner;
• and
• a securing slot for inserting the securing section of the retaining clip, the securing slot extending from the corner of the wall element between the lateral surfaces into the wall element.

A retaining clip for securing a wall element of an item of furniture to a furniture structure, comprising:

• a securing section configured to secure the retaining clip to the wall element, the securing section having a first edge section and a second edge section;
• a stop section which extends away from the first edge section of the securing section in a first direction and is configured to abut a first structural element of the furniture structure;
• and
• a resilient clip section which extends away from the second edge section of the securing section in a second direction different from the first direction and is resiliently movable between an insertion position permitting an insertion of the wall element into the furniture structure and a retaining position engaging a second structural element of the furniture structure behind the second structural element;
• wherein the securing section has a planar portion and the first and second edge sections extend at an angle of 90° to one another, the stop section and the clip section projecting beyond the first and second edge sections in directions orthogonal to each other;
• wherein the securing section has anchoring knobs projecting on at least one lateral surface of the securing section, wherein the anchoring knobs are configured to anchor the retaining clip in the wall element;
• wherein the securing section has a main plane and the stop section has a stop surface which is configured to abut the first structural element of the furniture structure, and wherein the stop surface is arranged at an angle of 45° to the main plane of the securing section;
• and
• wherein the stop section and the clip section are spaced 2 to 50 mm from a corner of the securing section formed by the first and second edge sections.
