Fitting for the movable mounting of a swivel element relative to a stationary support

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a fitting for the movable mounting of a pivoting element, in particular a furniture part, a door or a window, relative to a stationary support, as defined in claim 1.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the movable mounting of a pivoting element, in particular a furniture part, a door or a window, on a stationary support by means of at least one fitting of the type to be described.

[0003] WO 2020 / 006588 A1 and WO 2020 / 006589 A1 each disclose furniture fittings for the movable mounting of a pivoting element in the form of a furniture door, wherein the body-side fitting part has a mounting part that can be integrated into a furniture panel for attachment to the stationary support. In a first step, the mounting part is pre-assembled on or in the furniture panel. In a second step, the furniture door can be detachably connected to the pre-assembled mounting part via a coupling part. For assembly, the coupling part is inserted diagonally into the pocket-shaped mounting part, wherein a locking part of the coupling part can be guided along an inclined surface of a locking element, thereby charging an energy storage device. The locking part can then enter a recess in the locking part, discharging the energy storage device and locking the coupling part to the mounting part.The coupling part and the mounting part are unlocked by a release element that can be pressed in using a tool. By pressing in the release element, the locking part is moved in a direction parallel to the end face of the mounting part, counter to the force of the energy storage device, until the locking part of the coupling element is released and the coupling part can be separated from the mounting part.

[0004] EP 1 895 082 A2 shows a furniture hinge with a skeleton-like connecting element which can be releasably locked with a door-side connecting element.

[0005] US 2015 / 061481 A1 shows a cabinet with a pivoting door that can be ejected from a closed position to an open position by a touch-latch mechanism. To unlock the touch-latch mechanism, the door is pushed over from a closed position, whereby a component connected to the door can be ejected from a holder attached to the cabinet by the force of a compression spring. The ejection process is triggered each time the door is pushed over, which is undesirable for some applications. For example, it is possible for the door to be triggered unintentionally, for example, by a person simply leaning against the door or by children playing.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a fitting of the type mentioned at the outset with an improved unlocking option.

[0007] This is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the present invention are defined in the dependent patent claims.

[0008] According to the invention, a release device with a movably mounted release element is provided for releasing the locking between the mounting part and the coupling part.

[0009] In this way, the locking between the mounting part and the coupling part can be released by deliberately actuating the movably mounted release element, whereby unintentional release of the locking is avoided.

[0010] The coupling part can be inserted into the assembly part in a joining direction, wherein the coupling part, starting from a state coupled to the assembly part, can be actively ejected from the assembly part by the ejection device, ie at least partially in a direction opposite to the joining direction.

[0011] This facilitates the removal of the pivoting element from the stationary support, especially when two or more fittings are provided for the movable mounting of the pivoting element. The risk of jamming between the mounting part and the coupling part is reduced, and the separation of the coupling part from the mounting part is made easier.

[0012] According to one embodiment, it can be provided that the housing of the mounting part has an end face, wherein the coupling part can be inserted into the housing of the mounting part during assembly substantially perpendicular to the end face.

[0013] In other words, the coupling part can be inserted into the assembly part by means of a linear joining movement and locked in a defined end position. In the prior art mentioned above, according to WO 2020 / 006588 A1, however, the coupling part with the attached furniture part must be inserted at an angle into the housing of the assembly part. This has the disadvantage that it limits the maximum wall thickness of the pivot element because the pivot element strikes the furniture body during assembly of the coupling part, or the coupling part cannot be inserted into the housing of the assembly part at all. The linear insertion of the coupling part into the housing of the assembly part enables assembly that is largely independent of the material thickness of the pivot element.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the housing of the mounting part can be provided with an end face, with the locking between the mounting part and the coupling part taking place in an area adjacent to the end face. This has the advantage that the forces generated during movement of the pivoting element are transmitted directly into the support, allowing the coupling part to be securely connected to the mounting part.

[0015] Further details and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures. Fig. 1 shows a piece of furniture with a support and with a pivoting element that can be moved relative to the support in a perspective view, Fig. 2 shows the support and the fitting in a separated state, Fig. 3 shows the mounting part and the coupling part of the first fitting part in a separated state from each other, Fig. 4 shows the coupling part partially inserted into the mounting part, Fig. 5 shows a continued insertion movement of the coupling part into the mounting part, Fig. 6 shows a continued insertion movement of the coupling part into the mounting part, Fig. 7 shows the locked state between the coupling part and the mounting part, Fig. 8 shows the ejection process of the coupling part from the mounting part, Fig. 9 shows the mounting part in an exploded view.

[0016] Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 1 with a stationary support 2 (for example in the form of a furniture body 2a), wherein a pivoting element 3 (for example a movable furniture part 3a, a flap, a door, a window or the like) is pivotally mounted by at least one fitting 4 relative to the support 2 about an axis which preferably runs vertically in the assembled position.

[0017] The carrier 2 has a plurality of plates 5a-5e, wherein the first fitting part 6 of the fitting 4 is designed to be integrated into one of the plates 5a-5e of the carrier 2 (i.e., for example, in the cover plate, in the base plate and / or in a shelf arranged between the cover plate and the base plate).

[0018] Of course, it is also possible to arrange the fitting 4 in or on one of the vertically extending plates 5d, 5e, so that the pivoting element 3 is pivotally mounted relative to the support 2 about a horizontally extending axis in an assembled state.

[0019] In the embodiment shown, it is provided that the first fitting part 6 of the fitting 4 is substantially completely accommodated within a recess of the plates 5a, 5c, while the second fitting part 7 of the fitting 4 is substantially completely accommodated within a further recess of the pivot element 3.

[0035] According to preferred embodiments, it can be provided that the housing 11 of the mounting part 9 is designed such that the housing 11 can be integrated substantially completely within the plate 5a-5e of the carrier 2, and / or has a height extension (H) and a length extension (L), wherein the length extension (L) of the housing 11 of the mounting part 9 is at least three times, preferably at least six times, greater than the height extension (H), and / or has the locking device 13 and the ejection device 14.

[0036] Fig. 4 shows the coupling part 12, which is partially inserted into the mounting part 9 of the first fitting part 6. The locking device 13 has at least one pivotable locking lever 13a for releasably locking the coupling part 12. The ejection device 14 comprises at least one ejection lever 14a for ejecting the coupling part 12 from the housing 11 of the mounting part 9, preferably wherein the at least one locking lever 13a and the at least one ejection lever 14a are integrally connected to one another, and / or the at least one locking lever 13a and the at least one ejection lever 14a are prestressed by a same spring element 16, and / or at least one rotatably mounted armature 20 is provided with a shaft and two arms projecting from the shaft, wherein a spring element 16 engages a first arm of the armature 20, the ejection lever 14a is arranged on a second arm of the armature 20 and the locking lever 13a is arranged on the shaft of the armature 20, and / or the at least one locking lever 13a and the at least one ejection lever 14a are arranged on the mounting part 9 of the first fitting part 6.

[0037] Fig. 5 shows a continued insertion movement of the coupling part 12 into the mounting part 9 pre-assembled on the carrier 2. The coupling part 12 can have at least one lateral recess 17b, which can be brought into engagement with an engagement element 23 arranged on the mounting part 9. The engagement element 23 can be designed, for example, as a projection, as a cylindrical bolt, or as a rotatably mounted roller, wherein the rotational axis of the roller runs substantially parallel to the vertical extent (H) of the mounting part 9.

[0044] By moving the control element 22 along the control cam 21, the locking lever 13a of the locking device 13 is also moved out of the recess 17a of the coupling part 12, and the ejection lever 14a of the ejection device 14 is tilted about the rotation axis 19. Finally, the control element 22 springs back into the locking recess 24 of the control cam 21, whereby the coupling part 12 can be ejected from the housing 11 of the mounting part 9 in the ejection direction (AR) by the ejection lever 14a and the force of the relaxing spring element 16.

[0045] In the shown Fig. 8 at least one guide 26 is provided for the linear guidance of the release element 25a, through which the release element 25a can be guided in a direction perpendicular to the end face 18.

[0047] According to a preferred embodiment of the method, the coupling part 12 is inserted substantially perpendicular to an end face 18 of the housing 11 of the mounting part 9, preferably wherein the coupling part 12 is moved substantially parallel to the end face 18 of the housing 11 of the mounting part 9 shortly before reaching an end position in the housing 11.

[0048] Fig. 9 shows the mounting part 9 of the first fitting part 6 in an exploded view. The mounting part 9 has two interconnectable housing parts 9a, 9b, between which the locking device 13 with the locking lever 13a and the ejection device 14 are arranged. The armature 20 can be seen, on which the spring element 16 engages and on which the locking lever 13a and the ejection lever 14a are jointly formed.

[0049] The control cam 21 for guiding the control element 22 is arranged or formed on the armature 20. The control cam 21 comprises a locking recess 24, by means of which the locking lever 13a can be releasably locked in the unlocked position.
