Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part relative to a furniture body, the at least one movable furniture part being in particular a sliding door or a folding sliding door, the arrangement comprising: at least one guide system fixed or fixable to the furniture body; at least one support on which the at least one movable furniture part is or can be supported, in particular pivotably and / or articulated, and via which the at least one movable furniture part can be moved relative to the at least one guide system between a retracted position and an extended position; at least one drive device by means of which the at least one support can be moved relative to the at least one guide system, the drive device having at least one rope, wherein the at least one rope comprises at least one coupling element; and at least one coupling device for coupling to the at least one coupling element. The invention also relates to a piece of furniture having at least one such arrangement and a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement. Background Art

[0002] Such an arrangement is known from document DE 202020107104 U1, in which, in the factory state of the drive device, the rope of the drive device is arranged on the drive device via a ball in such a way that the assembler must manually remove the ball from the drive device in order to then - also manually - arrange it on the bracket, so that the drive device can support the bracket to be moved out of the receiving shaft.

[0003] A disadvantage of the prior art is that the cable of the drive device is manually connected to the support in a laborious manner and that additional time is required for assembling the arrangement. In particular, when the receiving shaft is already assembled, the connection is not comfortable to carry out due to the drive device which is concealed in the receiving shaft and the receiving shaft must be disassembled. If the cable is undesirably detached from the arrangement on the support, for example during operation (for example due to vibrations and / or a bad connection), there is no user-friendly possibility to ensure proper functioning of the arrangement. In practice, the coupling of the drive device and the support is often forgotten or not properly corrected, so that an increased force expenditure is required to move the movable furniture part and, moreover, during operation, it is difficult to determine the cause of the increased force expenditure. Summary of the invention

[0004] The objective technical object of the invention is to provide an arrangement, a piece of furniture and a method which are improved compared to the prior art, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially overcome and which are characterized primarily in that the coupling of the cable of the drive device and the support or the movable furniture part is very comfortable, quick and / or safe, in which the risk of a loss of connection between the drive device and the support or the movable furniture part is reduced - in a user-friendly and structurally simple manner.

[0005] This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 .

[0006] Therefore, according to the invention, it is provided that the at least one coupling element is arranged in particular directly on the at least one guide system, in particular on and / or in a first guide rail of the at least one guide system, for automatic coupling with the at least one coupling device.

[0007] This makes it possible to ensure that a defined position of the at least one coupling element relative to the at least one guide system can be ensured in order to ensure that the rope is automatically suspended safely in the coupling between the at least one support and the at least one guide system.

[0008] Thus, during the coupling of the at least one support to the at least one guide system, it is no longer necessary for the assembler to position the at least one cable, since the coupling is automatically produced by the defined orientation of the at least one coupling element. The defined position of the at least one coupling element can be achieved, for example, by means of an adhesive connection, a notch, a form-fitting connection, etc. Particularly preferably, the defined positioning is achieved by means of an arrangement in the guide, wherein, in particular in the extended position, static friction can be reduced and / or a harmonious pushing-in and / or pulling-out movement of the movable furniture part can be produced.

[0009] In addition, a positive feature is that it is ensured that the at least one drive device makes it possible to easily eject the at least one support from the retracted position without undesired decoupling between the at least one coupling element and the at least one coupling device. This facilitates assembly and reduces maintenance work for specialists.

[0010] Furthermore, it is achieved that after the at least one support has been assembled on the at least one guide system, no additional manual coupling by the assembler is necessary, since the connection between the drive unit and the support is produced by the relative movement itself.

[0011] A possible uncoupling of the at least one support or the at least one movable furniture part after a new movement from an extended position (e.g. a subsequent active position for covering a furniture item) to a retracted position (e.g. a buried position in a receiving shaft) is effectively prevented, wherein the coupling is always ensured during assembly and operation of the arrangement.

[0012] The assembler only needs to arrange the at least one bracket accordingly on the at least one guide system, wherein, when the at least one movable furniture component is pushed into the receiving shaft, the at least one coupling device drives the at least one rope and the at least one drive device to absorb energy during the relative movement of the at least one bracket, thereby supporting and / or initiating the movement of the at least one movable furniture component towards the extended position.

[0013] The first guide rail can generally be designed in one piece or in multiple pieces, wherein, for example, a first part of the first guide rail can be provided for movement guiding the at least one support and a second part of the first guide rail can be provided for movement guiding the at least one coupling element.

[0014] Typically, the coupling can be maintained between the time of initial coupling and the time of disassembling the arrangement, for example by clamping the at least one rope in the at least one coupling device, or the coupling can be established again during the movement of the at least one support from the extended position to the retracted position. Particularly preferably, after assembly, contact is maintained between the at least one coupling element and the at least one coupling device until the arrangement is disassembled.

[0015] The term rope is to be interpreted broadly, i.e. in a similar manner, for example chains or other elastic members capable of carrying tension, such as ropes, strings or wires, are also included.

[0016] As mentioned at the outset, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture having at least one such arrangement.

[0017] For example, the piece of furniture may be in the form of a cabinet.

[0018] As mentioned at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement, in which the following method steps are carried out: in a preparatory method step, the at least one coupling element is arranged on the at least one guide system and / or in the at least one guide system, in a first assembly step, the at least one support is moved relative to the at least one guide system, whereby in a further assembly step, the at least one rope of the at least one drive device is automatically coupled to the at least one coupling device arranged on the movable furniture part and / or on the at least one support.

[0019] Simplify and speed up the assembly process through structural design solutions.

[0020] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0021] According to an advantageous design of the invention, it is provided that the at least one coupling element is guided along the at least one guide system, in particular between an extended position of the at least one support and a retracted position of the at least one support, on and / or in the at least one guide system.

[0022] Since the at least one coupling element remains arranged on the at least one guide system, a defined positioning of the at least one coupling element can be maintained.

[0023] Advantageously, provision is made that a preload force of the at least one drive device can be transmitted to the at least one support in the direction of the extended position by the at least one drive device and via the at least one coupling element, which is preferably made of plastic.

[0027] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one coupling element is arranged continuously, preferably directly, on the at least one guide system and / or at least partially in the at least one guide system between the extended position and the retracted position.

[0030] An automatic coupling can be achieved, for example, via a corresponding geometry of the receptacle of the at least one coupling device and of the at least one coupling element for connecting the two components.

[0031] An advantageous variant of the invention consists in that the at least one coupling device is arranged on the at least one movable furniture part and / or on the at least one support, wherein the at least one coupling device is arranged on the at least one rope and / or on the at least one coupling element in a motion-coupled manner continuously, preferably directly and / or at least partially between an extended position and a retracted position, via a relative movement of the at least one support relative to the at least one guide system, wherein preferably provision is made for the at least one coupling device to be preferably continuously arranged in the use position of the at least one drive device below the at least one drive device and / or between the at least one drive device and the at least one coupling element.

[0032] It is particularly preferably provided that the at least one drive device has at least one outlet opening, through which the at least one rope of the at least one drive device, in the use position of the at least one drive device, protrudes essentially vertically downward due to gravity and / or transversely to the at least one outlet opening in order to be coupled to the at least one coupling device, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one rope can be driven to move via the at least one coupling element along and / or essentially parallel to a coupling element guide that is present if necessary.

[0033] By having the at least one rope protrude from the at least one exit opening due to gravity, no additional guide is required to accommodate the at least one rope in the extended position, wherein the at least one rope can be automatically moved along the at least one guide system by the guide.

[0035] As a result, the inclination and / or tilting tendency of the at least one coupling element along the at least one guide system can be reduced and / or a harmonious movement of the at least one coupling element can be achieved - for example as a supplement to the good sliding friction properties between the at least one coupling element and the at least one guide system.

The at least one contact section can prevent the at least one coupling element from accidentally tilting or tipping over by supporting it. The coupling section can be used to connect to the at least one coupling device.

[0038] If the web is designed to be mirror-symmetrical or symmetrical, the at least one coupling element can be used in at least two positions and / or for two guide systems arranged on both sides of the furniture carcass without having to produce, for example, an additional injection mold, thereby saving costs in production.

[0039] It has proven to be advantageous if the at least one coupling element comprises a contact section for coupling to the at least one coupling device, which is oriented substantially orthogonal to the guide section, the at least one contact section and / or the coupling section, wherein preferably provision is made for the at least one coupling device to be constructed corresponding to the contact section.

[0043] This particularly facilitates a safe and / or simple coupling of the relevant components.

[0044] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one guide system comprises at least one second guide rail for guiding the at least one movable furniture part, wherein the at least one second guide rail extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail in the use state of the arrangement.

[0046] It is particularly preferably provided that, during the first relative movement of the at least one bracket relative to the at least one guide system, the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one coupling element and / or the at least one rope is connected to the at least one coupling device in the extended position, in the retracted position and / or between the extended position and the retracted position.

[0066] Figure 1a Shown for relative to the furniture body 2 (refer to Figure 7 ) Arrangement for guiding a movable furniture part 1, such as a sliding door, a folding sliding door or the like, comprising: a guide system 3 fixed to a furniture body 2; a support 4, on which the movable furniture part 1 can be pivotally or articulatedly supported and via which the movable furniture part 1 can be moved relative to the guide system 3 between a retracted position 5 and an extended position 6 (see Figure 7 ) between movement; and a drive device 7, using which the support 4 can move relative to the guide system 3.

[0067] Figure 1b Different from Figure 1a The only difference is that the arrangement is shown with a changed viewing direction. In the arrangement, an ejection device 33 is provided, by means of which the support 4 can be ejected in sections from the retracted position 5 to the extended position 6 by the ejection device 33. In the retracted position, the support 4 can be moved into an overpressure position behind the retracted position 5 by the application of pressure to the support 4, whereby the ejection device 33 can be triggered, wherein the support 4 can be blocked by the ejection device 33 in the retracted position to prevent an undesired movement of the support 4 out of the fully retracted position.

[0068] Starting from the retracted position 5 , the support 4 can be automatically moved into the extended position 6 via the drive device 7 with sufficient preload. However, preferably only manual actuation of the support is supported, which is also additionally facilitated by the ejection device 33 .

[0069] exist Figure 2aIt can be seen that the support 4, on which the movable furniture part 1 is to be assembled, is in the extended position 6. In the enlarged detail, it can be seen that the drive device 7 comprises a coupling element 9, which is arranged on the cable 8 of the drive device 7-hidden by the support 4.

[0070] Figure 2b The guide system 3 is shown at an acute angle according to Figure 2a An arrangement in which it can be seen that the at least one guide system 3 for positively locking the guiding of the coupling element 9 comprises a coupling element guide 12 in the form of a T-slot of the first guide rail 11 .

[0071] Before the support 4 is assembled on the guide system 3, the coupling element 9 is arranged directly on the guide system 3, partly in the first guide rail 11, for automatic coupling with the coupling device 10. It is generally conceivable to fix the coupling element at a defined position outside the guide system 3. The coupling device 10 is provided for coupling the movable furniture part 1 to the coupling element 9 of the drive device 7, wherein the coupling device is mounted on the support 4. It is generally also possible to fix the coupling device 10 on the movable furniture part 1.

[0072] Figure 3a The coupling between the coupling device 10 and the coupling element 9 on the guide system 3 is shown. In this embodiment, the coupling element guide 12 comprises a partially circular cross section, wherein, for example, oval or polygonal cross sections are also possible for a positive connection between the coupling element 9 and the first guide rail 11 in the orthogonal direction 27.

[0073] When the support 4 is assembled, the coupling device 10 first comes into contact with the coupling element 9, preventing an improper connection between the coupling element 9 and the coupling device 10. Between the extended position 6 and the retracted position 5, the coupling element 9 remains permanently arranged directly on the guide device 3 and partially in the guide system.

[0074] During the first relative movement of the support 4 relative to the guide system 3, the coupling device 10 can be automatically coupled to the coupling element 9, and the rope 8 is connected or movably coupled to the coupling device 10 via the coupling element 9 in the extended position 6, in the retracted position 5 and between the extended position 6 and the retracted position 5.

[0075] The method for assembling and coupling an arrangement can be carried out exemplarily as follows: in a preparatory method step, the coupling element 9 is arranged on or in the guide system 3, and in a subsequent first assembly step, the support 4 is moved relative to the guide system 3, whereby in a subsequent and automatically completed assembly step, the rope 8 of the drive device 7 is automatically coupled to the coupling device 10 arranged on the movable furniture part 1 or the support 4.

[0076] The coupling device 10 is arranged on the carrier 4 , wherein the coupling device 10 is arranged on the coupling element 9 in a continuously directly motion-coupled manner between the extended position 6 and the retracted position 5 due to a relative movement of the carrier 4 with respect to the guide system 3 .

[0077] In the use position of the drive device 7 , the coupling device 10 is arranged permanently below the drive device 7 and partially between the drive device 7 and the coupling element 9 .

[0078] Between the retracted position 5 and the extended position 6 , the coupling element 9 is permanently movably coupled to the coupling device 10 .

[0079] The coupling device 10 in the form of a driving shoe can be automatically coupled to the cable 8 of the drive device 7 and the coupling element 9 during the relative movement of the support 4 relative to the guide system 3. The coupling element 9 is retracted by the coupling device 10 and driven toward the retracted position 5.

[0080] As in accordance with Figure 3b and Figure 3c It can be seen in the view of FIG. 4 that the coupling element 9 is guided along the guide system 3 in the guide system 3 between an extended position 6 of the support 4 and a retracted position 5 of the support 4 .

[0081] exist Figure 3c , schematically illustrated by dashed lines, the drive device 7 comprises a force accumulator device 31 which is tensioned during the movement of the support 4 from the extended position 6 toward the retracted position 5 and at least supports the movement of the support 4 from the retracted position 5 toward the extended position 6. Likewise, an ejection device 33 can be used in addition to support the ejection process of the support 4 from the retracted position 5; however, this is generally not mandatory.

[0082] The drive device 7 comprises a cable drum 30 (shown in dotted form) for winding up and unwinding the cable 8 and a force storage device 31 for pretensioning the cable drum 30. The cable drum 30 and the force storage device 31 are arranged completely in a housing 32 of the drive device 7.

[0083] The force storage device 31 can be tensioned during the movement of the support 4 toward the retracted position 5 and can be prestressed or untensioned in the extended position 6. The support 4—together with the sliding door or folding sliding door—is pulled out of the receiving shaft 34 (see Figure 7 ) is supported by the movement coupling between the coupling element 9 and the coupling device 10 and by the force accumulator device 31 and, if necessary, partially by the ejection device 33, wherein the manual force required for the bracket 4 is reduced or may no longer be required.

[0084] By means of the drive device 7 and the plastic coupling element 9 , a preload force of the drive device 7 on the support 4 can be transmitted via the coupling device 10 in the direction of the extended position 6 .

[0085] Figure 4 It is shown that the drive device 7 comprises an outlet opening 13, through which the cable 8 of the drive device 7 in the use state of the drive device 7 in the extended position 6 extends essentially vertically downward due to gravity to couple with the coupling device 10. After the movement of the coupling element 9, the cable 8 extends laterally from the outlet opening 13, because the cable 8 is moved along and parallel to the coupling element guide 12 via the coupling element 9.

[0086] Figure 5a The partially retracted position 5 is shown, in which the coupling element 9 has been moved along the guide system 3 by means of the coupling device 10. The drive device 7 is partially tensioned.

[0087] Figure 5b Different from Figure 5a It is merely shown that the coupling device 10 is positioned on the coupling element 9. The coupling device 10 moves the coupling element 9 towards the retracted position 5, wherein the coupling element 9 moves the coupling device 10 towards the extended position.

[0088] Disassembly of components for the coupling between carrier 4 and guide system 3 Figure 6a It can be seen that the coupling element 9 has a longitudinal extension 14 which is greater than one (two) widths 15 of the coupling element 9 and wherein the longitudinal extension 14 is guided parallel to the guide system 3 and the coupling element guide 12 .

[0089] The coupling element 9 comprises a guide section 16 with two guide projections 17 , two contact sections 18 spatially spaced apart from the guide projections 17 , and a coupling section 19 spatially spaced apart from the guide section 16 and the contact section 18 .

[0090] The guide section 16 , the contact section 18 and the coupling section 19 are arranged in a star shape and form four orthogonally arranged—mirror-symmetrical and symmetrically oriented—webs of the coupling element 9 .

[0091] The coupling element 9 comprises a contact section 21 oriented orthogonally to the guide section 16 , the contact section 18 and the coupling section 19 for coupling to the coupling device 10 .

[0092] The coupling element 9 partially engages in the guide system 3 via the guide section 16 designed as a web and partially protrudes from the guide system 3 in an orthogonal direction 27. The coupling element 9 can be received by the coupling device in a direction orthogonal to the guide system 3 in order to move the support 4 along the longitudinal direction 28 of the guide system 3.

[0093] Figure 6b It is shown that the coupling device 10 is designed corresponding to the contact section 21 of the coupling element 9 .

[0094] The coupling device 10 includes two fasteners (see Figure 3a ) and a base 22 with an opening 23 and a receiving portion 24 protruding laterally from the base 22, wherein the fastening element is used to connect to the movable furniture part 1 or the bracket 4.
