Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a configuration system for guiding movable furniture components, preferably sliding or folding sliding doors, on fixed furniture parts, preferably furniture bodies. The invention also relates to furniture having this configuration system. Background Technology

[0002] A configuration system for guiding movable furniture components, preferably sliding or folding sliding doors, on fixed furniture components, preferably furniture bodies, is known. This configuration system comprises: at least one guide system to be fixed to the fixed furniture component and a carrier, wherein the movable furniture component is pivotally supported on the carrier and the carrier is movably connected to or can be connected to the at least one guide system to indirectly guide the movable furniture component on the fixed furniture component. A disadvantage of this solution according to the prior art is that the movable furniture component is guided only via the carrier on the at least one guide system. Due to insufficient guidance of the movable furniture component, the movement of the carrier, and therefore the movable furniture component, along the at least one guide system becomes difficult or hindered. The movable furniture component and / or the fixed furniture component may also be damaged by this movement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved configuration system for guiding movable furniture components, preferably sliding doors or folding sliding doors, on fixed furniture components, preferably furniture bodies, and a furniture having at least one such configuration system.

[0004] The objective is achieved by the features described below.

[0005] According to the present invention, a configuration system for guiding movable furniture components, preferably sliding doors or folding sliding doors, on fixed furniture components, preferably furniture bodies, comprises: at least one guiding system and a carrier to be fixed on the fixed furniture component, the movable furniture component being pivotally supported on the carrier and the carrier being movably connected to or capable of being connected to the at least one guiding system to indirectly guide the movable furniture component on the fixed furniture component, the movable furniture component having a guiding device separate from the at least one guiding system for directly guiding the movable furniture component on the fixed furniture component, the configuration system further comprising at least one adjusting device configured to be actuated in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension of the first guiding system, and at least a portion of the guiding device being adjustable relative to the fixed furniture component in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the at least one guiding system by means of the adjusting device.

[0006] Therefore, the movable furniture components are guided not only indirectly via the carrier but also directly via separate guiding devices on the fixed furniture components. As the carrier—and therefore the movable furniture components—moves along the at least one guiding system, the movable furniture components are guided by ensuring a frictionless movement process.

[0007] It is also specified that the configuration system includes at least one adjustment device, at least a portion of which can be adjusted relative to the fixed furniture component by means of the adjustment device, preferably in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the at least one guidance system.

[0008] Here, such an adjustment device enables the guidance device to be adjusted according to given or changing frame conditions, especially subsequent adjustments. In particular, the guidance device can be adjusted in such a way that when the carrier—and therefore also the movable furniture parts—moves along the at least one guidance system, the movable furniture parts are guided parallel to the at least one guidance system.

[0009] A type of furniture according to the invention is also provided, which has at least one fixed furniture component, at least one movable furniture component, and at least one configuration system for guiding the movable furniture component on the fixed furniture component. Preferably, the furniture includes a shaft-shaped cavity in which the at least one movable furniture component can be disposed.

[0010] It can be specified that the guiding device includes at least one groove and at least one guiding element partially engaged in said at least one groove. This constitutes a possibility for implementing a guiding device that is uncomplicated, cost-effective, and stable.

[0011] In one embodiment of the invention, it may be specified that: the at least one groove is provided on the movable furniture component, preferably the at least one groove extends along the entire length of the edge of the movable furniture component, and the at least one guide element is provided on the fixed furniture component.

[0012] However, it may also be specified that: the at least one groove is provided on the fixed furniture component, and the at least one guide element is provided on the movable furniture component, preferably the at least one guide element extends along the entire length of the edge of the movable furniture component.

[0013] Depending on the specific application, at least one of these two variations ensures that the movable furniture components are guided as optimally as possible on the fixed furniture components.

[0014] If the at least one groove or the at least one guide element extends along the entire length of the edge of the movable furniture component, this helps the movable furniture component to be guided more stably and comprehensively on the fixed furniture component.

[0015] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the movable furniture component is formed by a sliding door or a folding sliding door, preferably the sliding door or folding sliding door includes only one door leaf.

[0016] It can also be specified that the adjusting device has an operating element by means of which the adjusting device can be operated, preferably the operating element being constructed in the form of a screw. This constitutes a simple possibility for operating the adjusting device.

[0017] Preferably, the adjusting device may be provided with a supporting device, and at least a portion of the guiding device is supported on the supporting device.

[0018] Preferably, the supporting device can be movably supported in the notch of the connecting element, and preferably the connecting element is disposed on a fixed furniture component.

[0019] Preferably, the configuration system may be specified to have a compensation device.

[0020] Particularly preferably, the compensation device may include a pivot mechanism and / or a rope device.

[0021] When an overload occurs on a movable furniture component, this compensation device prevents the carrier from getting stuck on the at least one guiding system.

[0022] If the configuration system includes at least two guide systems that are preferably vertically spaced apart from each other, it ensures that the carrier is guided more stably on the guide systems.

[0023] Regarding the furniture according to the invention, it can be specified that the furniture includes a shaft-shaped cavity, wherein the shaft-shaped cavity is formed by at least two preferably parallel sidewalls connected to each other via at least one connecting element, and at least a portion of the guiding device is disposed on or constituted on or in the at least one connecting element.

[0024] Regarding the furniture according to the invention, it can be specified that the movable furniture components are formed by sliding doors or folding sliding doors, preferably the sliding door or folding sliding door includes only one door leaf.

[0025] Regarding the furniture according to the invention, it may be specified that movable furniture components include a frame preferably made of aluminum profiles and / or a cover preferably made of glass.

[0026] This configuration of movable furniture components enables a stable structure for these components. In cases where the movable furniture components consist of an aluminum frame and a glass cover, this is visually appealing to the user.

[0027] Particularly preferably, the profile may be provided with the groove and / or the guide element. This is a cost-effective, uncomplicated, and visually appealing possibility for implementing a portion of the guide device. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of furniture 100 with a configuration system according to the present invention. Here, furniture 100 includes fixed furniture components 3 and movable furniture components 2, which are in the form of a folding sliding door with a door leaf. In this embodiment, the door leaf is formed by an invisible frame 2b made of aluminum profile and a cover 2c made of glass.

[0052] Of course, different materials can be used for the frame and the lid, such as wood, plastic, or other metals. Alternatively, it can be specified that the frame and the lid are made of the same material, or even that the frame and the lid are integrally formed.

[0053] The fixed furniture component 3 also includes a cavity 101 defined by a side wall 101a. The movable furniture component 2 may be introduced into the cavity 101 at least partially.

[0054] In this example, the furniture 100 according to the invention has additional furniture sections 103, which include folding sliding doors 103a and empty rooms 103b. These furniture sections 103 may be common furniture sections or furniture sections with a configuration system according to the invention.

[0055] exist Figure 1b As can be seen, the movable furniture component 2 has been opened and moved into the empty room 101. The folding sliding door 103a of the other furniture section 103 has also been opened and moved into the empty room 103b.

[0056] Figure 2a A perspective view of a portion of the furniture 100 according to the invention is shown. It can be seen that the side walls 101a defining the chamber 101 are connected to each other via connecting elements 102. The guide device 6 is faintly visible.

[0057] Figure 2b A perspective view of a portion of the furniture 100 according to the invention is shown again, but without one of the side walls 101a. Two guide systems 4, 5 for guiding the carrier 8 on the fixed furniture component 3 are visible. The movable furniture component 2 is pivotally supported on the carrier 8 via hinges 8a.

[0058] Also visible is a compensation device 9 consisting of a pivot mechanism 9a and a rope device 9b. The pivot mechanism 9a includes two pivot rods, wherein the longer of the two pivot rods is pivotally mounted on a fixed furniture component on one side and substantially centrally mounted on the carrier on the other side in a pivotable and movable manner. The shorter of the two pivot rods is pivotally supported in the upper region of the carrier and is substantially centrally pivotally supported on the longer pivot rod.

[0059] The rope-pulling device 9b includes a rope with its ends respectively mounted on a carrier. The rope is connected to a fixed furniture component via a deflector roller.

[0060] Figure 3a A partial perspective view of a portion of the furniture 100 according to the invention in a first position is shown. It can be seen that the movable furniture parts 2 are not yet positioned within the empty chamber 101. Figure 3b The middle shows Figure 3a Detail A.

[0061] As can be seen here, the frame 2b has a groove 6a for the guiding device 6. In this embodiment, the groove 6a extends along the entire edge 2a of the frame 2b. In particular, the groove 6a is formed by the frame 2b.

[0062] However, it can also be specified that the groove 6a extends only partially along the edge 2a. Furthermore, the groove 6a can also be formed, for example, from a profile separate from the frame 2b.

[0063] Also visible is the connecting element 102 that connects the sidewalls 101a. In this embodiment, the adjustment device 7 is provided on the connecting element 102. The guide element 6b provided on the adjustment device 7 can be adjusted via the adjustment device 7. In particular, the guide element 6b is adjusted along the normal on the sidewall 101a. The guide element 6b is not yet engaged with the groove 6a.

[0064] Alternatively, it can be specified that the movable furniture component 2 or frame 2b can be adjusted via the adjusting device 7 through the guide element 6b and the groove 6a. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the adjusting device 7 is not located on the connecting element 102, but rather on the fixed furniture component 3, for example, via separate / individual fixing devices.

[0065] Figure 4a A partial perspective view of a portion of the furniture 100 according to the invention in a first position is shown. It can be seen that movable furniture parts 2 are partially disposed in the empty chamber 101. Figure 4b The middle shows Figure 4a Detail A. It can be seen that: the guide element 6b now engages with the groove 6a, so that the movable furniture part 2 is directly guided on the fixed furniture part 3.

[0066] To better understand, Figure 5a A partial front view of a portion of the furniture 100 according to the present invention is shown. Figure 5b Also shown Figure 5a Detail A.

[0067] It can be seen that the furniture component 2, which engages with the groove 6a and is thus movable, is directly guided on the fixed furniture component 2. From these... Figure 5a and 5b It is also found that the adjustment of the guide element 6b by the adjustment device 7 also results in the adjustment of the position of the movable furniture part 2 in the empty room 101 (i.e., between the side walls 101a). That is, the adjustment device 7 can be used to orient the movable furniture part 2 within the empty room 101.

[0068] Figures 6a to 9b Different embodiments of the framework 2b according to the present invention are shown, wherein, Figure 6a , 7a Figures 8a and 9a show perspective views of frame 2b, while... Figure 6b , 7b 8b and 9b show the corresponding cross-sectional views.

[0069] According to Figure 6a and 6bIn the first embodiment, the frame 2b has a groove 6a. The frame 2b and the groove 6a are integrally formed together. The frame 2b is formed of a profile, such as an extruded profile.

[0070] according to Figure 7a and 7b The second embodiment basically corresponds to the first embodiment, but a cover 2c made of, for example, glass is additionally provided on the frame 2b.

[0071] According to Figure 8a and 8b In the third embodiment, the frame 2b has a guide element 6b. The frame 2b and the guide element 6b can be integrally formed with each other. However, the guide element 6b can also be formed from a separate component, for example, a separate component made of plastic.

[0072] according to Figure 9a and 9b The fourth embodiment is a combination of embodiments one and three. Accordingly, the frame 2b has not only a groove 6a but also a guide element 6b.

[0073] Figure 10 An exploded view of the adjusting device according to the present invention is shown. The adjusting device 7 has a support device 7c, which in this embodiment is movably disposed in a notch 102a of the connecting element 102. The guide element 6b is supported on the support device 7c. Alternatively, the groove 6a may be supported on the support device 7c.

[0074] The support device 7c has protrusions 7d that engage in the recesses 102c of the connecting element 102. Thus, the support device 7c is held in the connecting element 102 on the one hand, and the movement of the support device 7c is restricted on the other.

[0075] The adjusting device 7 also has an operating element 7a. The operating element 7a is connected here to the fixing element 7b and the receiving portion 7f on the support device 7c. By operating the operating element 7a, the fixing element 7b is clamped in the clamping area 7e. Since the operating element 7a is also connected to the support device 7c, the support device is therefore fixed relative to the connecting element 102. Therefore, the guide element 6b is also fixed relative to the fixed furniture component 3.

[0076] To adjust the guide element 6b relative to the fixed furniture component 3, the operating element 7a is manipulated, thereby releasing the clamping on the clamping area 7e via the fixing element 7b. The support device 7c can now be adjusted, and therefore the guide element 6b can be adjusted as well. After the adjustment process, the support device 7c can be fixed, and therefore the guide element 6b can be fixed, as already described.

[0077] The hole 102b in the connecting element 102 is used to fix the connecting element 102 to the fixed furniture part 2 or the side wall 101a.

[0078] Figures 11a to 11b The adjusting device 7 according to the invention is shown in different positions. Figure 11a The regulating device is adjusted to its maximum extent in the first direction. Figure 11b The adjustment device is set in the middle position, while Figure 11c The adjustment device is adjusted to its maximum in the second direction. It can be seen how the guide element 6b is adjusted relative to the connecting element 102 and therefore relative to the fixed furniture component 3.
