Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a piece of furniture having a furniture body, at least one sliding door held on the furniture body for movable along a running track via at least one operating member, and the present invention relates to a guide rail fixed to the furniture body, and at least one guide member movably held along the guide rail on the sliding door, wherein the guide member is movably held on a mounting element fixed to the sliding door, and the present invention relates to a method for mounting the sliding door to the furniture body. Background Technology

[0002] DE 10 2017 107 910 A1 discloses a piece of furniture having a sliding element that is suspended on a running track via a running member and guided in a lower region via a guiding device. The guiding device includes a guide rail fixed to the furniture body and a corresponding guiding member held on a sliding door that is held on a mounting element for vertical movement. This means that when the sliding door moves, the guiding member can move relative to the mounting element to compensate for tolerances caused by aligning or positioning the guide rail. This type of guidance has proven useful; however, friction or clicking noise occurs when the guiding member is moved, particularly because the guiding member is held on the guide rail with a certain gap. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a piece of furniture in which the sliding door is improved along the guide of the furniture body. Furthermore, the sliding door should be easy to install on the furniture body.

[0004] This problem is solved by furniture according to one aspect of the invention and by a method for mounting sliding doors on the body of furniture according to another aspect of the invention.

[0005] In the furniture according to the invention, a guide member is movably held on a mounting element fixed to a sliding door, and the guide member is pre-tensioned relative to the mounting element via at least one spring element. As a result, the guide member is pre-tensioned toward the guide rail in the sliding direction, such that the defined contact surface of the guide member abuts against the guide rail. When the guide member is moved along the guide rail and relative to the mounting element, at least one spring element ensures that the guide member does not click or rattle, but moves along the predetermined contact surface on the guide rail.

[0006] Preferably, the guide component is biased downward toward the guide rail in the vertical direction. As a result, the pretension of at least one spring element counteracts the gravity of the sliding door.

[0007] To reduce noise when the sliding door is in motion, the guiding component includes at least one rotatably mounted guide roller that rolls on a guide track in the guide rail. This avoids frictional noise that occurs when they slide against each other. The guide roller may roll, for example, on the upper side of the guide section of the guide rail and be biased toward the guide rail by the force of at least one spring element. To guide the sliding door in a transverse horizontal direction perpendicular to the guide rail, the guide roller may have, for example, a concave or convex cross-sectional profile.

[0008] For simple structures, at least one spring element may be integrally formed with the guide member and / or mounting element. Preferably, at least one spring element includes a flexible spring web that is movable along a bending guide. The spring element can be tensioned or released according to the movement of the guide member along the mounting element by means of a corresponding ramp of the bending guide relative to the spring element. In this case, the force applied by at least one spring element can vary, for example, by at least 20%, depending on the orientation of the bending guide. In this case, the bending guide may include different gradients in its path so that the force can be adjusted as needed and as circumstances allow. In this way, any spring stiffness can be easily generated for a predetermined working or assembly process using a single bending guide.

[0009] Preferably, the spring element comprises two flexible spring webs, each movable along a bending guide, and each spring web can pivot in opposite directions relative to the mounting element by moving the guide member along the bending guide. In this way, the spring element provides centering and avoids or reduces lateral forces as the guide member moves relative to the mounting element. The bending guide may be arranged symmetrically with respect to a central plane such that the lateral forces perpendicular to the sliding direction caused by the spring webs substantially compensate for each other and provide centering.

[0010] In another embodiment, a latching receptacle for a flexible spring web is formed on at least one bending guide. This facilitates assembly because the guide member can be locked in a predetermined position on the mounting element via the latching receptacle. The guide member can then be moved from this latched position to mount on and move within a guide section of a guide rail.

[0011] For particularly compact designs, at least one spring web of the spring element may be formed on the guide member, and at least one bending guide may be formed on the mounting element. In this way, the bending guide is fixedly arranged on the sliding door, while the guide member having at least one spring web, preferably two spring webs, is movable relative to the mounting element. Of course, the bending guide may also be provided on the guide member, and at least one spring web may be provided on the mounting element.

[0012] For efficient assembly, the guide component can be inserted into or pushed onto the mounting element. Optionally, the guide component can be pushed from above or below, thereby preferably forming a guide rail on the mounting element for inserting at least one spring element into the bending guide. This guide rail can be formed, for example, on the outside of the mounting element, and is accessible at the mounting position on the rear side of the sliding door. The spring webs, which have at least one spring web and preferably two spring webs, can then bend along the guide rail until they are transferred to the bending guide via the guide rail. This achieves tool-free assembly by pushing the guide component onto the mounting element.

[0013] The guide member preferably includes a housing in which the web of the mounting element is inserted, and the guide member is movable along the web of the mounting element. Therefore, the web may include a corresponding guide surface for guiding.

[0014] Preferably, a flexible spring web is formed on the mounting element, which biases the guide member upward relative to the guide rail. This allows the mounting element and the guide member to be formed compactly, so that the mounting element can be installed identically for both front and rear sliding doors, and only the guide member needs to be modified to be movably held on the guide section of the guide rail via guide rollers or sliding elements. In addition to the upward bias, the eccentric arrangement of the spring web and the guide rollers or sliding elements generates a torque that produces a force acting laterally in the height direction. This bias / prestress in the vertical direction and simultaneously in the lateral direction of the guide member, through the spring web, particularly an integrally formed spring web, reliably prevents clicking sounds.

[0015] In the method according to the invention for mounting a sliding door onto a furniture body, firstly, at least one actuating component of the sliding door is hooked onto a running track on the furniture body, which is, for example, fixed to the top plate of the furniture body. The sliding door can then pivot about the running track, whereby a guide component on the sliding door contacts the guide rail on the furniture body via a rising ramp and moves relative to a mounting element fixed to the sliding door against the force of at least one spring element. The guide component can then be latched to the guide rail, whereby in the latched position, at least one spring element biases the guide component toward the guide rail. This ensures a certain bias of the guide component toward the guide rail in the mounting position, providing defined contact conditions and avoiding clicking noise. The guide component is preferably latched by a guide roller rotatably mounted on it and can roll along a guide track on a guide section of the guide rail.

[0016] To efficiently assemble the guide component, it can be pushed onto the mounting element during assembly and latched via at least one spring element. Thus, at least one spring element can bias the guide component during assembly so that it subsequently shifts slightly from its locked position in the pre-assembled position to abut against the guide rail in a pre-tensioned position in the assembled position.

[0035] Furniture 1, particularly cabinet furniture, includes a furniture body 2 on which two sliding doors 3 and 4 are movably mounted on the front. Each sliding door 3 and 4 includes one or more operating components 6, particularly operating components with rollers, in the upper region, which can move along an operating track 5. The operating track 5 is held on the top plate 7 of the furniture body 2. Instead of two sliding doors 3 and 4, the furniture body 2 may also include only one or more sliding doors 3 and 4.

[0036] The furniture body 2 includes a base 8 on which a guide rail 9 is fixed. The guide rail 9 is part of a guide device 10 for guiding sliding doors 3 and 4 in the lower area.

[0037] Figure 2The guide device 10 is shown in detail. A guide rail 9 is fixed to a base 8 and includes two protruding webs 11, each web forming a guide section 12. This guide section comprises, in cross-section, thickened portions such as bead-shaped, rhomboid, triangular, cubic, or having other geometries. A guide roller 14 is rotatably mounted on each guide section 12 and is movable along a guide path on the guide section 12. The guide roller 14 includes a shaped cross-section, particularly a concave or convex curvature, to prevent movement of the guide roller 14 in the axial direction. As a result, the sliding door 3 or 4 can be guided in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel via the guide roller 14 and guide member 15 or 25. Guide member 15 and guide member 25 each include a retainer 13, which includes a receiver into which the thickened guide section 12 can be inserted. The retainer 13 can latch onto the guide section 12, thereby preventing the sliding door 3 or 4 from accidentally dislodging from the guide rail 9.

[0038] On the rear sliding door 3, guide member 15 is fixed to the rear of the sliding door 3 via mounting element 16 and held in a position that allows it to move vertically. Mounting element 16 is also fixed to the front sliding door 4, and guide member 25 is held on the mounting element so that the guide member can move vertically. The guide member is connected to retainer 13 and guide roller 14 via adapter 17. A greater distance between the front sliding door 4 and guide rail 9 can be bridged via adapter 17, so that guide members 15 and 25 are otherwise identical in function.

[0039] exist Figure 3 In the middle, two sliding doors 3 and 4 are shown from the rear side. It can be seen that two mounting elements 16 are fixed to each sliding door 3 and 4, and guide parts 15 or 25 are slidably held on each mounting element.

[0040] Figure 4 A guiding device 10 with two guide rollers 14 is shown, which engage with corresponding guide sections 12 of the guide rail 9. Each guide roller 14 is biased toward the guide section 12 via at least one spring element 20. Thus, the spring element 20 presses the guide member 15 or 25 downward in the vertical direction against the weight of the sliding doors 3 and 4, and the resulting torque acts on the guide member 15 or 25, thereby effectively preventing clicking noise between the guide members 15, 25 and the guide rail 9. This results in defined contact surfaces for the guide members 15 and 25 on the guide rollers 14, and if the guide rail 9 is designed as several parts, clicking noise can also be effectively prevented when different sections of the guide rail 9 are moved.

[0041] Figure 5A and Figure 5BThe guide member 25 of the front sliding door 4 is shown in detail. The guide member 25 includes spring elements 20 in the form of two spring webs, each web having a contact surface 21 or drive protrusion at its end that can abut against the mounting element 16. The guide member 25 also includes a groove 22 and a web 31, the groove being attachable to a hook 23 on the adapter 17, and the web engaging in a groove 32 on the adapter 17 to act as a stop in the vertical direction. Thus, the guide member 25 is correctly positioned and secured to the adapter 17. The adapter 17 is made of a sheet metal and also includes a central receiving seat 26 into which the web of the mounting element 16 can be inserted. In the upper region of the adapter 17, a bracket 30 is formed, which is vertically movable relative to the front side of the mounting element 16. Here, the bracket 30 serves as protection for the spring elements 20 during transport and assembly. The adapter 17 also includes webs 24 that can be inserted into grooves 19 on the retainer 13 for clamping and securing the retainer 13 to the adapter 17. In the assembly position, the guide component 25, adapter 17, and cage 13 form a unit, which may optionally be made of fewer or more components.

[0042] Figure 6A and Figure 6B The mounting of the guide member 25 on the mounting element 16 is shown. The mounting element 16 includes a web 27 that can be inserted into a reservoir 26 on the adapter 17 of the guide member 25. A curved guide 28 is also formed on the mounting element 16, which includes a latching reservoir 29. The two spring webs of the spring element 20 rest on the curved guide 28 with their contact surfaces 21, wherein... Figure 6B The locked position is shown, with the contact surface 21 arranged on the latch receiving seat 29. In this position, the guide member 25 with the retainer 13 protrudes downward beyond the lower side of the sliding door 4.

[0043] If a sliding door is to be installed on the furniture body 2, the sliding door 3 or 4 is first hooked onto the running track 5 on its upper side via the running member 6. Then, the sliding doors 3 and 4 can pivot about the running track 5, causing the guide device 10 to engage, whereby the pivot axis corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the running track 5. For this purpose, the guide roller 14 on the guide member 15 or 25 engages with the guide section 12 of the guide rail 9. Figure 7A As shown, during this movement, guide member 15 or 25 is slightly raised. By raising guide member 25, the two spring webs of spring element 20 move upward along the curved guide 28, causing the spring webs to unfold and bias downward against guide member 25. Therefore, guide roller 14 rests with pre-tensioned (biased) force on guide section 12 of guide rail 9, which is not shown. If guide member 25 now moves along guide rail 9, it may be necessary to move guide member 25 along mounting element 16, for example, by slightly tilting guide rail 9. Then, guide member 25 moves upward, as... Figure 7B As shown. By moving the guide member 25 relative to the mounting element 16, the spring web of the spring element 20 expands. If the guide member 25 moves downward again, the spring web of the spring element 20 is pressed downward by contact with the bending guide 28, so that a force is applied to the guide roller 14 throughout the guiding movement, regardless of the position of the guide member 25.

[0044] Figure 7C The assembly position where sliding door 4 is placed on the floor is shown. Figure 6B In the locked position, the guide member 25 is in contact with the latch housing 29, where the spring web of the spring element 20 is in contact with the latch housing 29. If the sliding door 4 is placed on the floor, care should be taken to prevent damage to the floor or the guide member 25 itself from the downwardly protruding guide member 25. When the sliding door 4 is lowered, the latch is released, and the guide member 25 is pushed upward against the force of the spring web of the spring element 20 until it reaches the latch housing 29. Figure 7C As shown, in this position, the lower side of the guide member 25 is substantially flush with the lower side 42 of the sliding door 4. The spring web of the spring element 20 is in its maximum extended position.

[0045] Especially Figures 7A to 7C As shown, the bending guide 28 is equipped with different inclinations or gradients along its path to allow adjustment of the spring force, and thus the spring stiffness, according to requirements and conditions. Therefore, according to Figure 7A and Figure 7B The spring force is greater than according to Figure 7C The spring force is greater because the gradient is larger in the lower region of the bending guide 28. This increases comfort and safety, because according to... Figure 7A and Figure 7B The work location is more than according to Figure 7C The position requires greater spring force, in Figure 7C In the middle, sliding door 4 is placed on the floor. However, Figure 7C The spring force at the working position shown makes it easy to move the guide component 25 vertically downward.

[0046] Figure 8A and Figure 8B The assembly of the guide device 10 for the rear sliding door 3 during pivoting is shown. Figure 8A In the middle, the sliding door 3 is positioned, wherein the retainer 13 is located in front of the guide section 12, and the rising ramp 18 of the retainer 13 rests against the guide section 12. For example... Figure 8BAs shown, by pivoting the sliding door 3 toward the base 8, the guide member 15 is pressed upward or moved via the rising ramps 18 and 33 until the guide section 12 can be inserted into the receiving seat on the retainer 13. The retainer 13 is able to surround the guide section 12 in a U-shape and latch onto the guide section to prevent the sliding door 3 from accidentally disengaging from the guide rail 9. Now, pushing the sliding door 3 toward the guide rail 9, the guide section 12 enters the U-shaped receiving seat of the retainer 13, and the lower side of the guide roller 14 engages with the guide rail on the upper side of the guide section 12. Figure 8A Move to Figure 8B During the process, the guide component 15 has moved upward against the force of the spring web of the spring element 20, so that in the assembly position, the guide roller 14 is biased toward the guide section 12.

[0047] Figure 9 An improved embodiment of the guiding device is shown, comprising a guiding member 25 with a spring element 20, which can be mounted on an improved mounting element 16'. The mounting element 16' includes a downwardly projecting web 27, which can be secured to the rear of a sliding door 3 or 4. Furthermore, the mounting element 16' includes a guide rail 40 with a protrusion 41 between two curved guides 28, facilitating the passage of the guiding member 25 or 15. The guiding member 25 is formed similarly to the previous embodiment, whereby the receiving seat 26 for insertion of the web 27 is formed slightly wider on the adapter 17'.

[0048] Figures 10A to 10F The mounting of the guide component 25 on the modified mounting element 16' is shown. The guide component 25 can be pushed from above onto the mounting element 16' fixed to the sliding door 4. Figure 10A The guide component 25 is initially positioned above the mounting element 16', and then moves downwards so that the upper section of the mounting element 16' enters the receiver 26, the edge of which lies between the edge of the mounting element 16' and the rear of the sliding door 4. Now, the guide component 25 can be moved downwards, as follows: Figure 10B As shown. When the guide member 25 is moved, the spring web of the spring element 20 contacts the contact surface 21 in the guide rail 40 on the upper side of the mounting element 16'. The contact surface 21 on the spring web is designed as a protrusion protruding toward the rear of the sliding door 4, and thus can pass into the guide rail 40.

[0049] If the guide component 25 moves further downward, such as Figure 10D As shown, the spring web of spring element 20 contacts the contact surface 21 of protrusion 41, which ensures that the spring web unfolds during movement. Figure 10E The image shows the spring web of spring element 20 in the deployed position near the latch housing 29. (See image for details.) Figure 10FAs shown, due to movement along the guide rail 40, the spring web with a drive protrusion forming the contact surface 21 is arranged adjacent to the latch receiving seat 29. If the guide member 25 is now moved slightly further downward, the protrusion of the contact surface 21 engages with the latch receiving seat 29.

[0050] Figure 11A and Figure 11B The latching position of the guide member 25 on the mounting element 16' is shown. The spring web of the spring element 20 has passed through the guide rail 40 onto the curved guide 28 and is now latched onto the latch receiving seat 29. In this position, the unit consisting of the sliding door 4, the mounting element 16', and the guide member 25 can now be mounted on the guide rail 9 as described above. Figures 12A to 12C As shown, the guide member 25 moves upward or into position by pivoting the sliding door 4 along the rising ramps 18 and 33. The displacement of the guide member 25 causes the spring web to move and unfold along the curved guide 28, thereby providing a downward bias to the guide member 25, so that the guide roller 14 is biased against the guide section 12 of the guide rail 9.

[0051] In the illustrated embodiment, the guide rail 40 for the spring web to pass through terminates directly at the latch receiving seat 29. Alternatively, the end of the guide rail 40 can be positioned elsewhere to facilitate the installation of the guide member 25.

[0052] In the illustrated embodiment, two spring webs are provided on each of the guide members 15 or 25, which are movable along the curved guide 28 on the mounting element 16. Spring webs may also be provided on the mounting elements 16 or 16', and the curved guide 28 may be provided on the guide members 15 or 25. Furthermore, the number of spring webs on each spring element may be varied depending on the desired force used to bias the guide members 15 or 25.

[0053] Figure 13A An improved design of the guide device 10 is shown, wherein the guide rail 9 is mounted on the base 8 of the furniture body 2, as explained above. The guide rail 9 includes two guide sections 12 arranged on the web 11 for guiding at least two sliding doors 3 and 4.

[0054] Sliding guide members 54 are held on each sliding door 3 and 4, and sliding elements 50 are provided on the guide members. The sliding element 50 is formed with a U-shaped seat that latches to the guide section 12 of the guide rail 9. For this purpose, an inwardly projecting latching web is formed on the sliding element 50. The sliding element 50 is also provided with a rising ramp 51, which is arranged adjacent to the guide section 12 after the sliding doors 3 and 4 have been hooked. Another guide ramp 52 is also provided on the upper side of the lower sliding element 50, optionally on the sliding element 50. The guide members 54 on the two sliding doors 3 and 4 differ significantly with respect to connecting members 53 and 53', which are positioned at different heights. Connecting member 53 is provided on the guide member 54 of the front sliding door 4, such that the sliding element 50 is positioned adjacent to the lower guide section 12, and the improved connecting member 53' is provided on the guide member 54 of the rear sliding door 3, such that in this case the sliding element 50 is also positioned adjacent to the upper guide section 12.

[0055] To assemble sliding doors 3 and 4, they are first suspended on the running track, and then pivoted, thereby causing each guide component 54 to move slightly downward via the rising ramp 51 on the sliding element 50, as... Figure 13B As shown. The sliding element 50 is latched to the guide section 12 of the guide rail 9 via the latch web.

[0056] Figure 14A The guide member 54 on the sliding door 4 is shown in its installed position. The guide member 54 is movably held by a mounting element 60, which includes guide webs 61 on opposing longitudinal sides. These guide webs are engaged at the rear by guide webs 56 on the guide member 54. The guide webs 56 on the guide member 54 are thus arranged between the guide webs 61 of the mounting element 60 and the rear side of the sliding door 4.

[0057] The mounting element 60 is essentially plate-shaped and is secured to the sliding door 4 by fastening devices 63, particularly screws. An integrally formed spring web 62 is disposed at the upper end of the mounting element 60, with its free end abutting against a contour 57 on the guide member 54, particularly a rolled edge or other protrusion. Preferably, the free end includes a thickened portion.

[0058] Figure 14B A guide member 54 on the rear sliding door 3 is shown, which is slidably held on the same mounting element 60. Due to the different designs of the connecting members 53 and 53', the guide member 54 differs essentially only in the position of the sliding element 50.

[0059] During assembly, the guide member 54 is displaced downward by contact of the rising ramp 51 on the guide section 12, such that when the sliding element 50 engages the guide section 12, it presses down on the spring web 62 and biases the guide member 54 upward via the spring web 62 and the profile 57.

[0060] Especially in Figure 14A and Figure 14B As can be seen, the contact area of ​​the free end of the spring web 62 contacting the profile 57 and the imaginary centerline of the sliding element 50 are spaced apart in a plane parallel to the sliding directions of the sliding doors 3 and 4. In addition to the upward bias acting as a result of the combined torque, this also generates a laterally biasing bias, which causes a slight twisting of the guide member 54 and ultimately presses it against the sliding door 4. This effect is achieved by the inclined geometry of the guide webs 56 and 61 and the beveled surface on the bottom side of the profile 57, which contacts the free end of the spring web 62. This dual bias, acting in the height direction and the depth direction perpendicular to the height direction, results in a significant reduction in clearance, thereby effectively minimizing noise generation.

[0061] Figure 15A and Figure 15B The installation of guide member 54 on an already installed mounting element 60 is shown. Mounting element 60 has the same structure and is secured to sliding door 3 or sliding door 4 by fastening device 63. To install guide member 54, it is pushed onto mounting element 60 from above, wherein guide web 56 on guide member 54 engages behind guide web 61 on mounting element 60. Guide member 54 is lowered until one end of spring web 62 abuts against profile 57.

[0062] Figure 16A and Figure 16B The mounting position of the guide member 54 on the mounting element 60 is shown, and the guide web 56 can be seen arranged between the guide web 61 of the mounting element 60 and the surface of the sliding door 3 or 4. Furthermore, the inclined geometry of the guide webs 56 and 61 described above can be clearly seen here.

[0063] Figure 17 A rear view of the guide member 54 mounted on the mounting element 60 is shown, with the sliding door omitted. It can be seen that the profile 57 abuts against one end of the spring web 62, and the guide web 56 partially engages with the rear of the mounting element 60.

[0064] In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting element 60 is made of plastic and includes a spring web 62, thus allowing for a multi-part design instead of a single-part design, and furthermore, multiple spring webs 62 can be provided.
