Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a furniture or household appliance element according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Such furniture or household appliance elements such as shelves or racks, in which a body part is mounted in a support body so that it can move both rotationally and translationally, are known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.

[0003] A translational-rotational bearing is used to carry out the translational-rotational movement of the body part.

[0004] Particularly in the case of larger and / or higher furniture or household appliance elements, such as refrigerators and freezers or wine coolers, it is necessary for stability reasons to additionally support the movement of the translationally and rotationally movable body part.

[0005] For this purpose, it is known, for example, from DE 10 2019 132 207 A1 to arrange a guide bearing between the cover plates of the support body and the body part, with which the translational-rotational movement is additionally guided.

[0006] Particularly when arranging a cover support plate that covers both the fixed support body and the translationally-rotationally movable body part, it is desirable to precisely define the vertical distance between the cover support plate of the support body and the cover plate of the body part or between the base support plate of the support body and the base plate of the body part in order to keep the desired distances between components of the furniture or household appliance element constant.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to prevent a lowering of the cover support plate or the base plate of the body part during the translational-rotational movement of the body part, particularly when a first and second body part are arranged next to one another in a furniture or household appliance element.

The interior of the body part 3 is divided, for example, into several compartments arranged one above the other by several shelves 35 attached to the side walls 33.

[0036] The bottom support plate 21 of the support body 2 extends in its length over the entire surface of the furniture element 1. The same applies to the cover support plate 22, which covers both the upper end of the support body 2 and the upper end of the body part 3, as shown in the Fig. 1 to 3.

[0037] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4a, a guide bearing 4 is arranged between the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2 and the cover plate 32 of the body part 3. The guide bearing 4 serves to support the translational-rotational movement of the body part 3.

[0038] Such a guide bearing 4 can also be arranged between the base support plate 21 and the base plate 31. In Fig. 4b shows the furniture element 1 in a view from below with the base support plate 21 and the guide bearing 4 removed.

[0039] Alternatively, a translational rotation fitting 10 can be arranged between the base support plate 21 and the base plate 31, for example partially in Fig. 2, as is known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.

[0040] The guide bearing 4 has, as in Fig. 4a to 6, a guide cam track 5 arranged here on the cover plate 32 of the body part 3 and a guide element 8 arranged on a connecting element 6, which is here plate-shaped and is fastened to the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2, which guide element projects into the guide cam track 5.

[0041] It is also conceivable to fasten the guide element 8 directly to the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the guide bearing 4 has a linear guide 7 with connecting parts that can be moved relative to one another, one of which is arranged on the cover support plate 22 or the cover plate 32 and the other of which is mounted on the other of the cover support plate 22 or the cover plate 32 by means of a pivot bearing 12.

[0043] When the guide bearing 4 is arranged in the base area of ​​the body part 3, one connecting part is arranged on the base support plate 22 or the base plate 32 and the other is mounted on the other of the base support plate 22 or the base plate 32 by means of the pivot bearing 12.

[0044] The guide element 8 or the further embodiment of a guide element 9 explained below is designed as a support element supported on or in the guide cam track 5.

[0045] In addition to supporting the translational-rotational movement of the body part 3, the guide element 8, 9 serves to set the vertical distance between the cover support plate 22 of the support body 2 and the cover plate 32 of the body part 3 or between the bottom support plate 21 of the support body 2 and the bottom plate 31 of the body part 3 in the case of an arrangement of the guide bearing 4 in the bottom area of ​​the body part 3 to a precisely defined dimension.

[0046] The Fig. The first embodiment variant of such a guide element 8 shown in Figures 5 to 7 has a roller 81 arranged on an axial bearing and rollable on a base 51 of the guide cam track 5.

[0047] The axial bearing has an axial bearing holder 85 provided with a threaded bolt 851, onto which an axial bearing ring 84 can be slipped, to the free end of which, facing away from the threaded bolt 851, here in the form of a pin 854, a roller holder 83 is fastened, in which the roller 81 is rotatably mounted.

[0048] Roll 81 is, as in the Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, via the roller axis 82, which is guided in a central bore 811 of the roller 81, in axle bearings 833 provided for this purpose in legs 831 of the roller holder 83, which are connected to one another via a connecting piece 832.

[0049] The roller holder 83 itself is attached to the axial bearing holder 85, preferably rotatably connected to the pin 854 of the axial bearing holder 85.

[0050] The axial bearing or threaded bolt 85 is preferably secured to the connecting element 6 of the guide bearing 4. The axial bearing receptacle 85 is designed as a threaded bolt 851 at an end remote from the pin 854, which is preferably secured in a threaded sleeve 64 arranged on a head piece 63 of the connecting element 6, so as to be axially adjustable relative to the threaded bolt 851.

[0051] To enable a rotational movement about a longitudinal axis of the axial bearing receptacle 85 of the roller receptacle 83, the axial bearing ring 84 is clamped between a collar 852 of the axial bearing receptacle 85 and a connecting piece 832 of the roller receptacle 83 that connects the legs 831 to one another. The axial bearing ring 84 has a receptacle 841 through which a neck piece 853 of the axial bearing receptacle 85 is passed.

[0052] An alternative design variant of such a guide element is shown in the Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 shown.

[0054] The threaded bolt 91 is screwed into a sleeve 92 with an internal thread 96, at the end of which, spaced from the threaded bolt 91, a ball 93 is received. The ball 93 is received by a collar 95 at the lower end of the sleeve 92, protruding from the sleeve 92 by a predetermined amount. The collar 95 prevents the ball 93 from falling out.

[0055] Between the front end of the threaded bolt 91 and the ball 93, as shown in Fig. 9, a spring element 94 is provided with which the ball 93 is always pressed out of the sleeve 92 against the threaded bolt 91.

[0056] The guide cam track 5 preferably has eyelets 52 on its outer sides for fixing, in particular screwing, the guide cam track 5 to the cover plate 32 or to the base plate 31 of the body part 3.

[0057] Likewise, on the connecting element 6 on a main body 61, on which in Fig. 5, the guide rails 72 of the linear guide 7 are fastened, eyelets 62 are formed on the sides, which serve for fixing, in particular screwing, to the cover support plate 22 or base support plate 21.

[0058] The guide rail 71 of the linear guide 7 is rotatably mounted on a pivot bearing 12.

[0059] The pivot bearing 12 has a pivot pin mounted on a circular mounting plate 11, which is attached to the cover plate 32 or base plate 31 of the body part 3. The circular shape serves to distribute forces over the largest possible area. Other designs are also conceivable.

[0060] The rotational axis of the pivot bearing 12 is mounted in a pivotal axis bearing (not shown) provided for this purpose on the underside of the guide rail 71 of the linear guide 7 in order to enable the translational rotational movement of the body part 3 relative to the support body 2.

[0061] The rotary axis can also be mounted in the rotary axis bearing in an axially adjustable or telescopic manner. This ensures that the entire guide bearing 4 is evenly supported.
