Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a configuration structure for guiding at least one movable furniture component relative to a furniture body, particularly a sliding or folding sliding door. The configuration structure includes: at least one guiding system fixed or fixable to the furniture body; at least one carrier, wherein the at least one movable furniture component is pivotally and / or hingedly mounted or can be mounted on the at least one carrier, and the at least one movable furniture component is movable relative to the at least one guiding system via the at least one carrier; and at least one drive device, wherein the at least one carrier is movable relative to the at least one guiding system via the at least one drive device, the at least one drive device having at least one cable. The invention also relates to a piece of furniture having at least one such configuration structure, and a method for mounting and coupling such a configuration structure. Background Technology

[0002] This configuration is known from Austrian patent application A 51123 / 2019, in which, in the delivered state of the drive device, the drive device cable is arranged on the drive device via balls in such a way that the assembler must manually remove the balls from the drive device so that the drive device can then be arranged on the carrier in a manner that allows the drive device to support the removal of the carrier from the receiving shaft.

[0003] The drawbacks of existing technology are that manually connecting the drive device cable to the carrier is cumbersome and requires additional time during the installation of the configuration. Especially when a receiving shaft is already installed, connection is not convenient as the drive device is concealed within it, necessitating the removal of the receiving shaft. For example, if the cable unexpectedly detaches from its arrangement on the carrier during operation (e.g., due to vibration and / or poor connection), there is no user-friendly possibility to ensure the proper functioning of the configuration. In practice, the coupling between the drive device and the carrier is often overlooked or not properly corrected, meaning that greater force is required to move movable furniture parts, and it is difficult to discern the cause of this increased force during operation.

[0004] Other configuration structures are known from documents JP2008-057258A, AT505207A1, and AT503881A1. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the objective technical objective of this invention is to provide an improved configuration structure, a piece of furniture, and a method compared to the prior art, wherein at least partially eliminating the disadvantages of the prior art, and its features particularly include: the cable of the drive device being easily coupled to the carrier or movable furniture component, thereby reducing the risk of losing connection between the drive device and the carrier / movable furniture component.

[0006] This objective is achieved through the features of the present invention.

[0007] Therefore, according to the present invention, at least one coupling device is arranged on the at least one movable furniture component and / or the at least one carrier, wherein when the at least one carrier moves relative to the at least one guiding system, the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one cable of the at least one drive device, the at least one drive device comprising: at least one outlet opening through which the at least one cable of the drive device extends substantially vertically downward due to gravity in the use state to couple to the at least one coupling device.

[0008] This allows for coupling without additional manual intervention by an assembler after the at least one carrier is mounted on at least one guiding system, since the connection between the drive unit and the carrier can be generated by the relative motion itself.

[0009] Another desirable feature is that if the coupling may become detached after the at least one carrier or the at least one movable furniture component has been moved back from the removal position (e.g., the active position for subsequently covering the setting fitting) to the insertion position (e.g., the storage position in the receiving shaft), the coupling is automatically re-engaged.

[0010] Therefore, the assembler only needs to arrange the at least one carrier on the at least one guiding system, wherein when the at least one movable furniture component is pushed into the furniture shaft, the at least one coupling device drives the at least one cable during the relative movement of the at least one carrier, and the at least one drive device absorbs energy, via which the energy supports and / or causes the at least one movable furniture component to move toward the removal position.

[0011] Typically, coupling can be maintained between the initial coupling point and the disengagement configuration (e.g., by clamping at least one cable in at least one coupling device via a coupling element, such as at least one cable), or coupling can be re-established when at least one carrier moves from the removal position to the insertion position.

[0012] The at least one coupling device may, for example, be configured as a fork and / or include a fork-shaped region for receiving at least one cable and / or at least one coupling element of at least one cable, wherein at least one cable and / or at least one coupling element of at least one cable may at least partially contact the interior of the fork-shaped coupling device, preferably be clamped in the fork-shaped coupling device and / or be force-locked with the fork-shaped coupling device and / or be form-locked with the fork-shaped coupling device in the direction along the at least one cable and / or at least one coupling element.

[0013] The term "cable" is interpreted so broadly that it also includes, for example, chains or other flexible components that can withstand tension, such as ropes, threads or wires.

[0014] As mentioned above, protection should also be provided for a type of furniture having at least one such configuration.

[0015] The reliability of the configuration structure is improved by automatic coupling, wherein the extension process of the at least one movable furniture component is made easier by the tensioning process during the insertion process of at least one carrier.

[0016] Furthermore, by connecting the at least one movable furniture piece, it is particularly advantageous to move from the furniture shaft in a direction transverse to the furniture shaft, because the at least one movable furniture piece is pushed toward the removal position, and thus facilitates guidance to cover the fittings.

[0017] As mentioned above, a method for installing and coupling such a configuration structure also needs to be protected, the method comprising the following steps:

[0018] - In the preparation step, the at least one carrier is arranged on the at least one guiding system.

[0019] - In the first step, the at least one carrier moves relative to the at least one guiding system, thereby

[0020] - In the second step, the at least one cable of the at least one drive device is automatically coupled to the coupling device.

[0021] According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the at least one guiding system comprises: at least one first guide rail and / or at least one second guide rail having a longitudinal direction, the at least one first guide rail being used to guide the at least one movable furniture component along the first guide rail, the at least one second guide rail being used to guide the at least one movable furniture component, wherein the at least one second guide rail extends laterally relative to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail in the use state, and / or the at least one movable furniture component can move along the at least one first guide rail via the at least one carrier between a move-out position and a move-in position.

[0022] The presence of at least one first track and at least one second track enables at least one movable furniture component to be positioned in a specific location on at least one guiding system. This specific location may include, for example, a parking position or a covered position, wherein reliable guidance between the various positions can be ensured.

[0023] The terms "remove position" and "remove position" apply to all structural components of this configuration, where "remove position" represents two distinct relative positions of at least one carrier with respect to at least one guiding system.

[0024] Advantageously configured such that when the at least one carrier first moves relative to the at least one guiding system, the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one cable, and / or the at least one cable is connected to the at least one coupling device at the out position, the in position, and / or between the out position and the in position.

[0025] If coupling is maintained during operation of the configuration structure after the initial relative movement, it prevents a potential failure to establish reliable coupling due to defective alignment of at least one cable. This can be remedied, for example, by clamping the cable with a clamping mechanism, wherein at least one cable reliably remains connected to the at least one coupling device during movement of at least one movable furniture component.

[0026] The following has proven advantageous: the at least one drive device comprises: at least one cable drum for winding and unwinding the at least one cable and at least one power storage device for pre-tensioning the at least one cable drum, wherein, advantageously, the at least one cable drum and / or the at least one power storage device are particularly preferably arranged entirely within the housing of the at least one drive device.

[0027] Typically, in the withdrawn position, the at least one cable is wound around the at least one cable reel for a compact arrangement, with a free end extending from the at least one drive device. If the at least one cable is pulled from the at least one drive device via a relative movement of at least one carrier toward the withdrawn position, the at least one energy storage device is pre-tensioned, wherein the stored energy is released to the at least one movable furniture component as it moves toward the withdrawn position.

[0028] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one energy storage device is configured such that it can be tensioned and / or pre-tensioned or untensioned at the outward position when the at least one carrier moves toward the inward position.

[0029] The following has proven advantageous: the at least one cable of the at least one drive device comprises: at least one coupling element and / or a spacer element, the at least one coupling element preferably being in the form of a ball, the at least one coupling element being used to connect the at least one cable to the at least one coupling device, the spacer element being spaced apart from the at least one coupling element, the spacer element preferably being a truncated cone, the spacer element being used to space apart the at least one coupling element, preferably spaced apart from the housing of the at least one drive device that may be present.

[0030] On the one hand, the at least one spacer element provides the possibility of adjustment, where increased flexibility in coupling is needed—especially when the structural dimensions of structural components in the configuration structure vary. On the other hand, the at least one coupling element is spaced apart from the housing or other structural components, such as guide rails, allowing coupling to be generated in a particularly advantageous manner.

[0031] The at least one coupling element prevents at least one cable from undesirably detaching from at least one coupling device, thereby providing a reliable arrangement for moving movable furniture parts. Undesirable slippage of the cable relative to at least one coupling device is prevented.

[0032] According to the present invention, the at least one drive device includes at least one outlet opening, and the at least one cable of the drive device extends substantially vertically downward through the at least one outlet opening due to gravity in the use state to couple to the at least one coupling device.

[0033] If, in the configuration of the structure, the at least one outlet opening is located at the bottom, the cable can occupy a defined position where the at least one drive device can be easily connected to the at least one movable furniture component. The at least one outlet opening is particularly preferably arranged on the housing side of the at least one drive device, which is oriented parallel to the at least one first guide rail.

[0034] Particularly preferably, the at least one coupling device includes at least one receiving device, which preferably includes a tapered recess and / or a holding region.

[0035] At least one receiving device may be designed, for example, as a wedge-shaped receiving member having two sides that taper toward each other. Typically, receiving devices with convex or concave bends, or receiving devices that function as a Klappmechanismus, are also possible.

[0036] The retaining area is particularly preferably arranged adjacent to and material-locked to the at least one receiving device. The retaining area ensures that the at least one cable is fixedly coupled to the at least one coupling device, and can be designed, for example, in the form of a clamping device; hook-and-loop fastening and / or adhesive fastening are also conceivable.

[0037] In the prior art, the cable must be manually manipulated into the receiving device. A solution that allows for automatic coupling of at least one receiving device with the cable offers greater convenience.

[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one coupling device is configured such that: the base preferably has at least one opening for fixing a member for connection with the at least one movable furniture component and / or the at least one carrier, wherein preferably: at least one tab and another tab for reinforcement are arranged transversely to the base, the at least one tab including the at least one receiving device.

[0039] The coupling device is particularly preferably made of metal. However, the coupling device may also be made of, for example, plastic.

[0040] The following has proven advantageous: the at least one carrier can preferably move automatically from the insertion position to the removal position via the at least one drive device.

[0041] The at least one drive device cannot support the manual movement of the at least one movable furniture component or replace manual operation by automatically performing the movement.

[0042] In one embodiment of the invention, at least one ejection device is provided, via which at least one carrier can be ejected at least partially from an insertion position in a direction toward an exit position, wherein, preferably, the at least one carrier can be moved to an overpressure position behind the insertion position by applying pressure on the at least one carrier in the insertion position, thereby triggering the ejection device.

[0043] At least one pop-out device can initiate the movement of at least one movable furniture component along at least one guiding system, wherein a transition of relative movement from a parking position to a removal position can be achieved.

[0044] In another technical solution of the present invention, the configuration structure may be configured such that: the configuration structure includes at least one receiving shaft, and the at least one movable furniture component may preferably be fully arranged in the at least one receiving shaft in the insertion position, wherein: the at least one movable furniture component may particularly preferably be moved laterally to the longitudinal extension of the at least one receiving shaft via at least one possible second guide rail in the removal position to conceal the fitting.

[0045] Aesthetically pleasing furniture is produced via at least one receiving shaft, wherein the configuration structure can be concealed within the at least one receiving shaft, and if necessary, the at least one movable furniture component can be pulled out and moved laterally in the direction of longitudinal extension to conceal the fittings.

[0046] Particularly preferably, the furniture comprises a furniture body and at least two furniture components movably mounted relative to the furniture body, wherein the furniture components are hinged to each other via a vertically extending axis in use, wherein the at least two furniture components are movable between a first position and a second position via the configuration structure, wherein in the first position the furniture components are oriented substantially parallel to each other, and in the second position the furniture components are oriented substantially coplanar to each other, wherein preferably, the furniture body includes at least one receiving shaft for receiving the furniture components in the first position, and / or the furniture components are movable from an insertion position to an exit position via at least one drive device.

[0047] This configuration is particularly suitable for use with multi-part folding sliding doors. However, movable furniture components are also designed as a single, integrated panel.

[0048] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one power storage device of the at least one drive device is tensioned as the carrier moves from the removal position to the insertion position, and / or preferably the movement of the carrier from the insertion position to the removal position is supported by means of at least one ejection device.

[0049] Particularly preferably, the at least one drive device is arranged on a furniture panel and / or at least one guide system of the configuration structure, wherein, preferably, the at least one drive device is arranged between two furniture panels of the receiving shaft.

[0060] Figure 1a and 1b The movable furniture component 2 (not shown for clarity - see [reference]) is shown for guiding the furniture body 3. Figure 10 The configuration structure 1 includes a guide system 4 that can be fixed to the furniture body 3 and a carrier 5, on which the movable furniture component 2 can be pivotally and hingedly mounted. The detailed design of the carrier 5 is generally arbitrary; for example, the carrier 5 can be a vertical rod, beam, carrier, board, track, or the like, and the carrier 5 can also be formed from multiple parts. The movable furniture component 2 can move relative to the guide system 4 via the carrier 5.

[0061] The guiding system 4 includes two first guide rails 9 having a longitudinal direction 10, which are used to guide the movable furniture component 2 along the first guide rails 9. The number of first guide rails 9 is typically arbitrary. The movable furniture component 2 can move along the first guide rails 9 via a carrier 5 between a move-out position 13 and a move-in position 14. The move-in position 14 is indicated by a cross (X), at which position, with two furniture panels arranged on the guiding system 4, the movable furniture component 2 is fully pushed into the receiving shaft 30 formed by the two furniture panels (see [link to documentation]). Figure 10 The movable furniture component 2 is partially pushed in along the first guide rail 9 and can also be used as the insertion position 14.

[0062] To stably guide the movable furniture component 2, a Y-shaped reinforcing structure in the form of a hinged connecting pillar and a diagonally extending guide cable are provided. Alternatively, only the Y-shaped reinforcing structure or the guide cable may be used, or both may be omitted entirely.

[0063] Figure 2 Configuration structure 1 is shown, wherein, for clarity, the two furniture panels forming the receiving shaft 30 are not illustrated.

[0064] Configuration structure 1 includes a drive device 6 arranged in a concealed manner behind a cover. The drive device 6 includes a cable 7, which, as can be seen in the details, extends below the cover. A coupling device 8 is arranged on a carrier 5, wherein the coupling device 8 automatically couples with the cable 7 of the drive device 6 when the carrier 5 moves relative to the guide system 4 toward the insertion position 14.

[0065] Typically, the coupling device 8 can be arranged on the movable furniture component 2. Combined with the drive device 6, the carrier 5 can move relative to the guide system 4 via the drive device 6.

[0066] The carrier 5 can be automatically moved from the insertion position 14 to the removal position 13 via the drive device 6, and manual movement can also be supported according to the force setting of the drive device 6.

[0067] Figure 3The configuration structure 1 with a cover plate (not shown) is shown, which, during the first relative movement of the carrier 5 along the first guide rail 9 toward the insertion position 14, brings the drive device 6 into contact with the carrier 5 and subsequently couples the drive device to the carrier.

[0068] Coupling can be created as follows:

[0069] - Carrier 5 is placed on guide system 4 during the preparation step (as shown in the diagram).

[0070] - Carrier 5 moves relative to guide system 4 in the first step (as can be seen in the diagram), thereby

[0071] - In the second step, the cable 7 of the drive device 6 is automatically coupled to the coupling device 8 (via subsequent contact).

[0072] The coupling can be completed and maintained in one go, or it can be recoupled after the carrier 5 has been positioned in the removal position 13.

[0073] An ejection device 29 is provided, via which the carrier 5 can be partially ejected from the insertion position 14 toward the exit position 13. In the insertion position 14, by applying pressure to the carrier 5, the carrier 5 can move to an overpressure position behind the insertion position 14, thereby triggering the ejection device 29 and causing the carrier 5 to be ejected toward the exit position 13, wherein the movement into the exit position 13 is performed by a drive device 6.

[0074] Figure 4a The drive device 6 and the coupling device 8 are shown before coupling. The cover plate can be fixed to the drive device 6 via a fixing member.

[0075] Cable 7 extends from housing 17 of drive device 6, and cable 7 includes a coupling element 18 in the form of a ball 19 for connecting cable 7 to coupling device 8. If cable 7 is arranged in coupling device 8, coupling element 18 hooks and prevents cable 7 from undesirably detaching from coupling device 8. Coupling can be provided by form-locking or force-locking.

[0076] The cable 7 includes a truncated conical spacer 20 spaced apart from the coupling element 18, which separates the coupling element 18 from the housing 17. Typically, cylindrical, spherical, or other spacers 20 may also space the coupling element 18 from the drive device, enabling reliable automatic coupling with the coupling device 8. It is also conceivable that when the cable 7 is slack, the coupling element 18, due to its own weight, extends a specially defined section of cable from the housing 17, thereby eliminating the need for the spacer 20.

[0077] Figure 4b From relative to Figure 4aThe tilted viewing angle shows the geometry of the drive device 6 and the coupling device 8.

[0078] The coupling device 8 includes a receiving device 22, which includes a tapered recess 23 and a holding region 24. The receiving device 22 is designed to receive a cable segment adjacent to the coupling element 18, wherein the holding region 24 is designed to correspond to the cable in order to enable a reliable connection between the coupling device 8 and the cable 7.

[0079] The coupling device 8 includes a receiving device 22, which comprises two inclined surfaces at an acute angle to each other. Generally, the inclined surfaces may also be at right angles or obtuse angles to each other.

[0080] Figure 5a and 5b and Figure 4a and 4b The only difference is that the coupling device 8 has moved toward the cable 7, and the configuration structure 1 is therefore shortly before coupling.

[0081] exist Figure 5a The diagram shows a helical spring-type energy storage device 16 of the drive device 6, illustrated in dashed lines. This energy storage device 16 is covered by a housing 17. Generally, the energy storage device 16 may also include other energy storage devices, such as fluid energy storage devices, leaf springs, tension springs, or compression springs. The energy storage device 16 is tensioned when the carrier 5 moves from the out position 13 to the in position 14.

[0082] The movement of the carrier 5 from the insertion position 14 to the exit position 13 is supported by the power storage device 16, wherein the ejection device 29 (not visible in the diagram) can be used to assist the first movement segment.

[0083] The accumulator 16 can be tensioned as the carrier 5 moves toward the insertion position 14, and can be pre-tensioned or untensioned in the withdrawal position 13 depending on the requirements of the configuration structure 1. The accumulator 16 may also typically include adjustment devices for adjusting the accumulator.

[0084] The drive unit 6 includes a cable drum 15 (shown in dashed lines) for winding and unwinding the cable 7, wherein a power storage device 16 is configured to pre-tension the cable drum 15. The cable drum 15 and the power storage device 16 are entirely disposed within the housing 17 of the drive unit 6. Typically, they may also be partially disposed within the housing 17, or the housing 17 may be configured as a fastener.

[0085] Figure 6a and 6b The automatic coupling is shown from two different perspectives, in which the coupling device 8 automatically couples with the cable 7 when the carrier 5 (on which the coupling device 8 is arranged) moves relative to the guide system 4 for the first time.

[0086] The cable 7 remains connected to the coupling device 8 in the out position 13, the in position 14, and between the out position 13 and the in position 14. The coupling can also be decoupled in the out position 13 and recoupled when the movable furniture part 2 is reinserted.

[0087] The drive device 6 includes an outlet opening 21. When the configuration structure 1 is in use state 12, the cable 7 of the drive device 6 extends vertically downward through the outlet opening 21 due to gravity to couple with the coupling device 8.

[0088] The coupling device 8 includes a base 25 having two openings 26 for fixing members for connection with movable furniture parts 2 and / or carriers 5, wherein the coupling device 8 is particularly preferably fixed to the carrier 5.

[0089] Laterally arranged on the base 25 are tabs 27 and another tab 28 for reinforcement. Tab 27 includes a receiving device 22 for reliable connection and a holding area 24.

[0090] exist Figure 7a and Figure 7b In this process, the coupling device 8 has moved further relative to the drive device 6, wherein the coupling element 18 remains connected to the coupling device 8 and the cable 7 moves together.

[0091] Figure 8a and 8b and Figure 7a and 7b The only difference is that the coupling device 8 has been further moved, wherein the coupling element 18 points in the direction of movement, and the spacer 20 is arranged on the opposite side of the receiving device 22.

[0092] exist Figure 9a and 9b As can be seen, when the coupling device 8 continues to move, the cable 7 moves together with the coupling device 8, thereby loading the power storage device 16.

[0093] Figure 10 Furniture 33 is shown, having two configuration structures 1 for moving movable furniture components 2 to form a folding sliding door. Typically, the configuration structures 1 can also be used for the movement of the integrated sliding door to, for example, conceal the mounting hardware 32. Furniture components 2 can be arranged in two receiving shafts 30 via the configuration structures 1. Two guide systems 4 of the two configuration structures 1 are respectively fixed to the furniture body 3 via two furniture panels, each of which is arranged parallel to the formation of another spaced-apart furniture panel in the receiving shaft 30.

[0094] The drive device 6 is arranged on the guide system 4. However, the drive device 6 can also be arranged on the furniture panel of the configuration structure.

[0095] Furniture 33 includes a furniture body 3 and two furniture components 2 in the form of folding sliding doors that are movably mounted relative to the furniture body 3. When the configuration structure 1 is in use state 12, the furniture components 2 are hinged to each other via a vertically extending shaft 34. Typically, movable furniture components 2 in the form of sliding doors may also be provided similarly.

[0096] Two furniture components 2 are movable between a first position 35 and a second position via a configuration structure 1, in which the furniture components 2 are oriented substantially parallel to each other, and in which the furniture components 2 are oriented substantially coplanar to each other. The second position is not shown; this second position is generated by unfolding the two furniture components 2, wherein, in order to improve guidance, guide sliders that can move along the second guide rail 11 relative to the two furniture components 2 may be provided.

[0097] In the second position, the fitting 32 is covered. In the first position 35, the two furniture components 2 can move within the receiving shaft 30 for receiving the furniture components 2. The two furniture components 2 can move from the insertion position 14 to the removal position 13 via the drive device 6 of the configuration structure 1, wherein an ejection device 29 (invisible—see below) is auxiliaryly provided. Figure 1a However, ejection device 29 is usually not required. In the illustration, furniture component 2 is shown in the removed position 13, while the inserted position 14 is indicated by a cross (X).

[0098] The guiding system 4 of the configuration structure 1 includes a second guide rail 11 for guiding the movable furniture component 2 perpendicular to the first guide rail 9, wherein the second guide rail 11 extends laterally relative to the longitudinal direction 10 of the first guide rail 9 in the use state 12, and the second guide rail 11 connects the first guide rail 9 for a smooth movement process.

[0099] Configuration structure 1 includes a receiving shaft 30 formed by the parallel construction of two furniture panels. Alternatively, configuration structure 1 may not include a receiving shaft 30, and a tapered construction is conceivable. Movable furniture component 2, when in the inserted position 14, can be fully arranged within the receiving shaft 30, or it is conceivable that it can be partially arranged within the receiving shaft 30.

[0100] In the removed position 13, the movable furniture component 2 can move laterally to the longitudinal extension 31 of the receiving shaft 30 via the second guide rail 11 in order to cover the setting accessory 32.
