Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a support device for supporting at least one door leaf. Furthermore, the invention relates to a guiding system for guiding at least one door leaf relative to a furniture body, and also to a type of furniture. Background Technology

[0002] Support devices of this type for supporting at least one door leaf are known. In support devices known in the prior art, the retaining device is typically not adjustable. Therefore, the door leaf, which is hinged to the retaining device, cannot be adjusted relative to the furniture body.

[0003] Therefore, the applicant's own A 51143 / 2018 proposes two adjustment devices, via which the holding device can be adjusted relative to the carrier. The first adjustment device can be used to adjust the holding device in both the longitudinal direction of the carrier and the transverse direction of the carrier, while the second adjustment device can only be used to adjust the holding device in the transverse direction of the carrier.

[0004] A disadvantage of this solution based on existing technology is that the retaining device cannot be adjusted independently in both the longitudinal direction of the carrier and the transverse direction. Furthermore, the two adjustment devices cannot be operated from the side, making the adjustment process difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to at least partially avoid the disadvantages of the prior art, and to provide an improved support device for supporting at least one door leaf, a guide system having said support device, and a piece of furniture having said guide system, relative to the prior art.

[0006] The objective is achieved according to the invention by a support device for supporting at least one door leaf, the support device comprising at least one carrier and at least one retaining device separate from the carrier, and having at least one mounting device, the at least one retaining device being detachably fixed to the at least one carrier by means of the at least one mounting device, and the at least one retaining device having at least two, preferably more than two, furniture hinges and / or fixing interfaces for fixing furniture hinges spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the at least one retaining device, the at least one door leaf being hingedly supported on the at least one retaining device by means of the furniture hinges. According to the invention, the at least one retaining device comprises at least one first support member and at least one second support member, at least two furniture hinges and / or fixing interfaces are disposed on the at least one first support member, the at least one second support member is disposed or can be disposed between the at least one first support member and the at least one carrier, the two support members being adjustable relative to each other, and the at least one second support member being adjustable relative to the at least one carrier.

[0007] Therefore, the retaining device can be adjusted in a simple manner in the longitudinal direction of the carrier, and independently in the transverse direction of the longitudinal direction of the carrier.

[0008] The objective is also achieved by a guiding system according to the invention, the guiding system comprising: at least one support device according to the invention; at least one, preferably at least two carrier rails; and at least one guiding device by which the at least one carrier is movably supported or can be supported on the at least one carrier rail, preferably in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

[0009] The objective is also achieved by furniture according to the invention, which has at least one guiding system according to the invention, preferably having at least one vertical cavity, into which at least one door leaf can be recessed.

[0010] Preferably, at least one, preferably exactly one, height adjustment device is provided, which allows the at least one second support member to be adjusted relative to the at least one carrier in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

[0011] Thus, the height adjustment device can be used to adjust the retaining device relative to the at least one carrier in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the at least one retaining device, that is, substantially in the horizontal direction, and therefore also adjust the door leaf.

[0012] Therefore, the door panel can be fitted to the furniture body or similar object in a simple manner and form in the horizontal direction.

[0013] Preferably, the device may be configured to include at least one, preferably exactly two, lateral adjustment devices, which allow adjustment of the at least one first support member relative to the at least one second support member in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

[0014] Therefore, the at least one first support member of the retaining device can be adjusted substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the at least one retaining device, that is, substantially vertically relative to the at least one second support member, and thus relative to the carrier, and thus the door leaf can be adjusted.

[0015] Therefore, the door panel can be fitted to the furniture body or similar object in a simple manner and form in the vertical direction.

[0016] In particular, by setting exactly two lateral adjustment devices, an ideal compromise is achieved between a simple construction and maximum stability during adjustment.

[0017] Advantageously, the height adjustment device and / or the lateral adjustment device each include at least one adjustment element, all of which can be operated from the same direction, preferably substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

[0018] This simplifies the operation of the height adjustment device and / or lateral adjustment device in the installed state of the device according to the invention. The operation of the height adjustment device and / or lateral adjustment device is further simplified when at least one adjustment element is configured as a screw and / or has a screw head drive.

[0019] In one embodiment of the invention, the at least one mounting device may be configured to include at least two threaded connection structures. This provides a simple and economical way to detachably secure the retaining device to the at least one carrier.

[0020] Advantageously, the at least one first support member is preferably supported on the at least one second support member via at least one pin supported in at least one elongated hole in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one retaining device, with preferably limited movement.

[0021] Alternatively, the at least one first support member, the at least one second support member, and / or the at least one carrier may be configured as beams and / or slats.

[0022] In the guiding system according to the invention, at least one additional guide rail may be provided, which is substantially transverse to the carrier guide rail or can be substantially transverse to the carrier guide rail, and at least one slider is provided, wherein the second door leaf is supported by the at least one slider or can be supported on the at least one additional guide rail, and the second door leaf is hingedly connected to or can be connected to the at least one door leaf that can be disposed on the at least one carrier.

[0040] Figure 1a The illustration shows a perspective view of a furniture 200 according to the invention in a first door position, the furniture 200 having a furniture body 101 and a door 2 movable relative to the furniture body. Another door 2a is mounted on this door 2 via a door hinge 2b.

[0041] Door panels 2 and 2a are movably supported between a first position and a second position via a guide system 100. In the first position, door panels 2 and 2a are oriented substantially coplanar with respect to each other, and in the second position, door panels 2 and 2a are oriented substantially parallel to each other. In the (parallel) second position, door panels 2 and 2a can be pushed into a cavity 202 on the side of the furniture body 101. The guide system 100 includes a guide rail 104, along which a guide slider 104a, which can be connected to the second door panel 2a, is movably supported.

[0042] As can be seen, the right door panels 2 and 2a are positioned at an angle to each other. Door panel 2 is supported on carrier 3 by three or more furniture hinges 6, which can be inserted into the cavity in the depth direction (Z) along the invisible carrier guide 102.

[0043] In the accompanying drawings, the carrier 3 is in a transition position adjacent to the guide rail 104, allowing the guide slider 104a to reciprocate between the guide rail 104 and the carrier 3. In the shown transition position, the carrier 3 and the guide rail 104 are releasably locked; this locking can be released by moving the guide slider 104a into or onto the carrier 3. The carrier 3 is constructed in the form of an elongated column, the length of which corresponds to at least half the height of the door panels 2, 2a.

[0044] Figure 1b Furniture 200 with doors 2, 2a is shown, said doors 2, 2a being fully pushed into cavity 202. That is, doors 2, 2a can be transferred from their coplanar positions via guide system 100 according to... Figure 1b In the second position, the door panels 2 and 2a are oriented substantially parallel to each other and can be accommodated within the cavity 202.

[0045] In this way, the interior space 201 of the main furniture body 101, for example, in the form of a kitchen, can be completely covered, allowing the interior space 201 to be visually separated from the rest of the living room. In the illustrated embodiment, the cavity 202 is formed by two side walls 202a, where the doors 2, 2a can be pushed between the side walls 202a in a parallel position.

[0046] Figure 2a A perspective view of the retaining device 4 according to the invention is shown, and Figure 2b A partial exploded view of the retaining device 4 according to the present invention is shown in perspective.

[0047] The first support member 4a and the second support member 4b can be seen. Multiple furniture hinges 6 are mounted on the first support member 4a, and the door leaf 2 can be mounted on these hinges. Alternatively, the first support member 4a can be configured to have a fixing interface for securing the furniture hinges 6, replacing the existing hinges 6. The support member 4a is movably supported on the support member 4b via an elongated hole 10 and a pin 9, in which case the elongated hole 10 and the pin 9 also restrict the relative movement of the first support member 4a relative to the second support member 4b.

[0048] A lateral adjustment device 8 is provided on the support member 4a. Each lateral adjustment device 8 has a housing 8e that protects it from external influences. The adjustment element can be accessed from the outside of the housings 7e and 8e and operated from the same direction.

[0049] The invisible actuating element 8b of the lateral adjustment device 8 can be embedded in one of the slots 8g through the through hole 8f. Thus, the lateral adjustment device 8 is connected to the second support member 4b.

[0050] A height adjustment device 7, which also includes a housing 7e, is provided on the second support member 4b. The second support member 4b has a through hole 7f through which the invisible actuating element 7b of the height adjustment device 7 can be inserted into a slot 7g on the carrier 3. Thus, the height adjustment device 7 is connected to the carrier 3.

[0051] The second support component 4b also includes a portion of a mounting device 5, which is implemented in the form of a threaded connection structure. In principle, the mounting device 5 can be implemented by any suitable form of connection structure, such as a snap-fit ​​connector.

[0052] Figure 3a An exploded view of the lateral adjustment device 8 according to the present invention is shown, and Figure 3c An exploded view of the adjustment mechanism of this lateral adjustment device 8 is shown.

[0053] The adjustment mechanism of the lateral adjustment device 8 mainly includes a base element 8a, an actuating element 8b, a guide element 8d, and an adjustment element 8c. When the guide element 8d moves relative to the base element 8a, it causes the actuating element 8b to move, so that the actuating element 8b will not get stuck or similar.

[0054] In the current embodiment, the adjusting element 8c is configured as a screw and has a screw head drive. Here, a thread (not shown) on the adjusting element 8c engages with a thread (not shown) on the actuating element 8b. The adjusting element 8c is rotatably supported on the base element 8a.

[0055] By adjusting the threaded connection between the adjusting element 8c and the actuating element 8b, the rotation of the adjusting element 8c causes the actuating element 8b to move relative to the base element 8a in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension of the adjusting element 8c.

[0056] That is, by operating the adjusting element 8c, the actuating element 8b can be adjusted relative to the base element 8a. The base element 8a is mounted on the first support member 4a by screws 8h. Other connection methods, such as riveting, can also be used.

[0057] The protrusion 8i of the actuating element 8b engages with the gap 8g in the second support member 4b. Therefore, operating the adjusting element 8c also causes the first support member 4a to move relative to the second support member 4b. Thus, the first support member 4a can be adjusted relative to the second support member 4b by the lateral adjusting device 8.

[0058] The adjustment mechanism of the lateral adjustment device 8 is at least partially disposed within the housing 8e. The adjustment element 8c is accessible from the outside of the housing.

[0059] Figure 3b An exploded view of the height adjustment device 8 according to the present invention is shown, and Figure 3d An exploded view of the adjustment mechanism of the lateral adjustment device 8 is shown.

[0060] The adjustment mechanism of the height adjustment device 7 mainly includes a base element 7a, an actuating element 7b, a guide element 7d, and an adjustment element 7c. Furthermore, the height adjustment device 7 has a reversing device 11. When the guide element 8d moves relative to the base element 8a, it causes the actuating element 8b to move, preventing the actuating element 8b from jamming or similar situations.

[0061] In the current embodiment, the adjusting element 7c has a screw head drive and teeth. Here, the teeth engage with the teeth of the reversing drive 11b. These two teeth form a bevel gear transmission 11a. The rotational movement of the adjusting element 7c is reversed by 90° to the reversing drive 11b via the bevel gear transmission 11a. The reversing drive 11b can also be operated directly by the screw head drive 11d on the reversing drive 11b.

[0062] Here, a thread (not shown) on the commutation drive 11b engages with a thread (not shown) on the actuation element 7b. An adjusting element 7c is rotatably supported on the commutation housing 11c and the base element 7a, the commutation housing at least partially surrounding the commutation device 11.

[0063] Through the threaded connection between the reversing drive 11b and the actuating element 7b and the bevel gear transmission device 11a, the rotation of the adjusting element 7c causes the actuating element 7b to move relative to the base element 7a in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the adjusting element 7c.

[0064] That is, the actuating element 7b can be adjusted relative to the base element 7a by operating the adjusting element 7c. The base element 7a is mounted on the second support member 4a by screws 7h. Other connection methods, such as riveting, can also be used.

[0065] The protrusion 7i of the actuating element 7b engages with the gap 7g in the carrier 3. Therefore, operating the adjusting element 7c also causes the second support member 4b to move relative to the carrier 3. Thus, the second support member 4b can be adjusted relative to the carrier 3 by means of the height adjusting device 7.

[0066] The adjustment mechanism of the height adjustment device 7 is at least partially disposed within the housing 7e. The adjustment element 7c is accessible from the outside of the housing.

[0067] Figure 4a The adjustment mechanism of the height adjustment device 7 according to the invention in the first position is shown, and Figure 4b A relevant portion of the support device 1 according to the present invention is shown. The housing 7e is not shown.

[0068] As can be seen, the actuating element 7b is positioned relative to the base element 7a in a position in which the second support member 4b, and consequently the first support member 4a, has the maximum possible upward movement relative to the carrier 3. The actual magnitude of this maximum possible movement is variable according to an embodiment of the invention and may be greater or less than the magnitude shown herein.

[0069] Figure 4c shows the adjustment mechanism of the height adjustment device 7 according to the invention in the second position, and Figure 4d shows the relevant part of the support device 1 according to the invention. The housing 7e is not shown.

[0070] As can be seen, the adjusting element 7c has been operated, and the actuating element 7b has changed its position relative to the base element 7a. Therefore, the positions of the second support member 4b, and consequently the first support member 4a, relative to the carrier 3 have also changed. Figure 4b Compared to the previous case, the second support member 4b now has a smaller amount of movement relative to the carrier 3 in the vertical direction.

[0071] Figure 5a The adjustment mechanism of the lateral adjustment device 8 according to the invention in the first position is shown, and Figure 5b A relevant portion of the support device 1 according to the invention is shown. The housing 8e is not shown.

[0072] As can be seen, the actuating element 8b is positioned relative to the base element 8a in a position in which the first support member 4a moves only a small amount relative to the second support member 4b. The actual amount of movement is variable according to an embodiment of the invention and may be greater or less than the amount shown herein.

[0073] Figure 5c The adjustment mechanism of the lateral adjustment device 8 according to the invention in the second position is shown, and Figure 4d A relevant portion of the support device according to the invention is shown. The housing 8e is not shown.

[0074] As can be seen, the adjusting element 8c has been operated, and the actuating element 8b has changed its position relative to the base element 8a. Therefore, the position of the first support member 4a relative to the second support member 4b has also changed. Figure 5b Compared to the previous version, the first support member 4a now has a greater amount of movement relative to the second support member 5b.
