Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a furniture or household appliance element according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background Art
[0002] Such a furniture or household appliance element, such as a shelf or a bracket, is known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1, in which a body part is mounted in a carrying body so as to be simultaneously at least partially rotatable and translationally movable.
[0003] The translation and rotation accessories are used to perform translation and rotation movements of the main body.
[0004] The translation and rotation fitting is usually inserted at least between the base support plate carrying the main body and the base plate of the main body part.
[0005] Depending on the size, in particular the vertical height, of the translationally and rotationally movable body part, additional translational and rotational fittings are used between the top support plate of the carrying body and the top plate of the body part in order to better guide the combined translational and rotational movement.
[0006] If two translation and rotation fittings are used, they can be of the same design. However, it is also conceivable to use translation and rotation fittings of different designs.
[0007] Since the combined translational-rotational movement between the parts of the carrier body and the main part leads to gaps between the edge areas of the carrier body and the main part, which gaps close again when the open position or the closed end position is reached, there is always a risk that a person will intentionally or unintentionally put his hand into such gaps to exert forces on the translational-rotational movement of the main part, which can cause, in particular, the risk of fingers being caught or injured. Summary of the invention
[0008] The object of the present invention is to improve a piece of furniture or a household appliance element of the type according to the prior art in such a way that the risk of injury or entrapment when operating the piece of furniture or the household appliance element is reduced.
[0009] This object is achieved by a piece of furniture or a household appliance element having the features of claim 1 .
[0010] The furniture or household appliance element according to the invention has a load-bearing body having a base support plate, a top support plate and at least one side panel, and a body part having a base plate, a top plate and at least one support frame, which is mounted to be movable in translation and rotation relative to the load-bearing body via a translation-rotation fitting. In addition to one support frame, there may be further support frames in the case of a shelf open on all sides or in the case of at least one side panel and one front panel.
[0011] The translation and rotation fitting is arranged between the top support plate and the top plate and / or between the base support plate and the base plate.
[0012] At least one anti-pinch element is arranged in the region of the base plate and / or the top plate on the main body part.
[0013] The arrangement of such an anti-pinch element on the base and / or cover of the body part makes it possible for such an anti-pinch element to prevent as much penetration as possible into a gap which occurs between two components which move relative to one another during a translational and rotational movement of the body part relative to the carrier body.
[0014] This significantly reduces the risk of the operator's fingers or hands being caught or injured, and in particular completely prevents this.
[0015] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are subject matter of the dependent claims.
[0016] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the anti-pinch element is designed as a cover strip which is arranged on the side edge of the base plate or the top plate and is detachably fastened to the base plate or the top plate, thereby covering the gap between the base plate and the base support plate or between the top plate and the top support plate.
[0017] Such a cover strip can easily cover gaps that occur during translational and rotational movements of the body part relative to the carrier body.
[0018] The detachability of the cover strip can also prevent painful or injurious pinching because the cover strip is detached from the base or top panel before the pressure on the fingers between the edge of the cover strip and the carrier body becomes too great, thereby preventing pinching or injury.
[0019] According to an advantageous further development, the cover strip is detachably fastened to the base plate or the top plate by means of a pressure lock, which enables the cover strip to be fastened easily to the base plate or the top plate.
[0020] According to another advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the anti-pinch element is designed as an insert, which is attached near at least one side edge of the base plate or the top plate below the base plate or is fixed to the base plate or the top plate in a position-fixed manner, so that it is placed on the top plate and fills a partial area between the base plate and the base support plate or between the top plate and the top support plate.
[0021] Such inserts may be provided in addition to or as an alternative to the anti-pinch strips.
[0022] The insert is a simple and effective way of preventing an operator's fingers from reaching behind areas of the body portion where there is a risk of pinching due to proximity to a side edge, such as the front panel or side panels of the body portion.
[0023] The placement of the insert just behind such a front or side panel prevents fingers from reaching into the area below the upper edge of the front or side panel, or, when reaching in from below, into the area behind the front or side panel above the lower edge of the front or side panel.
[0024] As the main body portion moves further, any fingers placed there are pushed out of the danger zone by the base support plate or the top support plate of the main body.
[0025] Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment, the insert is positioned on the rear side of the front panel or the side panel.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, the insert extends along all side edges of the base plate or the top plate, whereby the insert is formed in at least two parts.
[0027] The two-part design of the insert makes it easier to assemble the insert to the base or top plate and to assemble the translation and rotation fittings to attach to the top plate or below the base plate.
[0028] According to yet another advantageous further development, the edge of the insert facing away from the side edge of the base plate or the cover plate is beveled towards the base plate or the cover plate.
[0029] The bevel also makes it easier to push a finger through the side edge of the base support plate or the top support plate of the carrier body if the finger is inserted into the side edge region.
[0030] According to yet another advantageous further development, the inserts and / or the cover strips are connected to one another via nodes. Preferably, at least one of the nodes has a pin for engaging in the support frame.
[0031] According to yet another alternative embodiment, the anti-pinch element is designed as a rod which can be movably coupled to the translation and rotation fitting so that during the translation and rotation movement of the main part, the rod always covers the area adjacent to the side edge of the base support plate or the top support plate.
[0032] The arrangement of at least one such lever element, which is movably coupled to the translation and rotation fitting, also makes it possible to cover hazardous areas.
[0033] In an advantageous embodiment, the two levers can be movably coupled to the translation and rotation fitting.
[0034] According to a further preferred embodiment, the at least one lever can be movably coupled to a linear guide of the translation-rotation fitting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] In the following description of the figures, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, rear, etc. refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of selected furniture or household appliance elements, load-bearing bodies, main parts, cover strips, inserts, rods, translation and rotation accessories, etc. in the corresponding figures. These terms should not be understood restrictively, i.e. these references can be changed due to different working positions or mirror-symmetrical designs, etc.
[0054] exist Figures 1 to 4 In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is used to designate an overall embodiment of a furniture or household appliance element according to the invention.
[0055] The furniture or household appliance element 1 shown here as a furniture element has a carrier body 2 and a body part 3 which is mounted such that it can be moved translationally and rotationally relative to the carrier body 2 .
[0056] In the following, for the sake of readability, the furniture or household appliance element 1 is referred to as furniture element 1 for short.
[0057] A corresponding domestic appliance element, in particular in the form of a refrigerator or freezer element or a wine cooler element, can be designed in the same way as the furniture or domestic appliance element 1 shown as a furniture element.
[0058] The carrier body 2 has at least one base support plate 21 and one top support plate 22 and at least one side panel 24 connected to the base support plate 21 and the top support plate 22. The front of the carrier body 2 is closed here, for example, by a swing door 23.
[0059] The main body portion 3 has at least one base plate 31 and one top plate 32 and at least one side panel 34 connected to the base plate 31 and the top plate 32 , and in the embodiment shown here, they are a front panel 33 and a side panel 34 covering the front portion.
[0060] The interior of the main body portion 3 is divided into a plurality of chambers arranged in an upper and lower overlapping manner by two shelves 35 fixed to the front panel 33 and the side panels 34 and the support frame 36 .
[0061] The length of the base support plate 21 of the carrying body 2 extends over the entire surface of the furniture element 1 .
[0062] The same applies to the top support plate 22, which covers both the upper end of the fixed carrier body 2 and the upper end of the main body part 3, as shown by way of example in Figures 1 to 4 Shown in.
[0063] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a first anti-pinch element in the form of a cover strip 4 is attached to the side edges 321 of the base plate 31 and the top plate 32 of the main body portion 3 .
[0064] Each of these cover strips 4 is arranged on the side edge 321 of the top plate 32 and the side edge of the base plate 31 covered here by the cover strip 4 and thus covers the gap between the base plate 31 and the base support plate 21 or between the top plate 32 and the top support plate 22 .
[0065] If you can Figure 6 As can be clearly seen in FIG, the cover strip 4 is preferably removably fastened to the base plate 31 or the top plate 32. A pressure lock 44 (for example, in the form of mushroom head Velcro or the like) is preferably used for the removable fastening. Alternatively, fastening can also be performed by screws, adhesives or clamping elements.
[0066] The pressure lock 44 is attached to the fixing section 45 of the cover strip 4, as in Figure 7 is shown as an example.
[0067] The detachable fastening is preferably designed so that the cover strip is merely folded from the side edge 321 of the top plate 32 (or the side edge of the base plate 31 ) without being completely detached, thus preventing the cover strip 4 from falling off.
[0068] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the cover strip 4 also has an outwardly visible cover section 41 and an inwardly extending support web 43 (in the assembled state) which rests on the top plate 32 or on the underside of the base plate 31 in the assembled state.
[0069] In the region of the inner side of the cover strip 4 facing away from the cover section 41 which is separated from the fastening section 45 by the supporting web 43 , the latter is formed with a ramp 42 which leads to the supporting web 43 .
[0070] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figures 8 to 10 As further shown, a second anti-pinch element is formed on the furniture element 1 in the form of an insert 5, which is attached to at least one side edge 321 of the base plate 31 or of the top plate 32 below the base plate 31, or is fixed to the base plate 31 or the top plate 32 in a positionally fixed manner, so as to be placed on the top plate 32 and fill a partial area between the base plate 31 and the base support plate 21 or between the top plate 32 and the top support plate 22.
[0071] The insert 5 can be fastened, for example, by gluing, latching, riveting, screwing or the like, in particular by a detachable fastening.
[0072] The insert 5 thus fills the space behind the front panel 33 or the side panel 34 or behind the cover strip 4 which would otherwise form a gap and would otherwise be a potential danger point for fingers to be caught and is therefore filled by the insert 5 .
[0073] The width of the insert 5 is dimensioned in such a way that there is enough space to fit the translation and rotation fitting 8 on the top plate 32 or below the base plate 31 .
[0074] An embodiment of a translational rotational attachment 8 that can be used here essentially has a linear guide 81 and a rotational guide 82, such as Figure 5 , Fig.13 and Figures 14 to 18 shown.
[0075] The rotary guide has a guide cam track 83 in which a guide element 84 is guided.
[0076] The linear guide 81 has at least a first connection portion and a second connection portion which can be moved relative thereto, wherein one connection portion is fixedly coupled to the guide element 84 and the other connection portion is coupled to the guide cam track 83 via a pivot bearing.
[0077] In the embodiment example shown, the linear guide 81 is designed with at least one first connection part, which is designed here as a guide rail, and a second connection part which can be displaced relative to the first connection part, which is designed here as a running rail.
[0078] Other variations of linear guides may also be used, such as rails having roller carriages that can move thereon.
[0079] The main part 3 can be moved using the translation and rotation fitting 8 from an initial position via an intermediate position to an open position and back again.
[0080] In the middle position, the main body 3 is rotated relative to the first supporting body 2 in the direction R 1 , R 2 Rotate and shift in a predetermined direction A.
[0081] The guide element 84 preferably has a wheel which can be guided in a guide cam track 83 which is fixed in a recess provided for this purpose in a support plate to which the guide rails of the linear guide 81 are preferably also fixed.
[0082] Here, a translational rotational attachment 8 can also be used for at least partially positively guiding a simultaneous translational rotational movement of the body part 3 relative to the carrier body 2 in one of two possible opposite rotational directions and in a predetermined translational direction, such as Fig.19 As shown, as described in the above-mentioned DE 10 2019 109 866 A1. The content of DE 10 2019 109 866 A1 is hereby incorporated into the present application for the purpose of explaining many details of the translation and rotation attachment.
[0083] In contrast to the variants of the translation-rotation fitting described above, the rotation guide 82 here consists essentially of rolling elements guided in grooves.
[0084] The height of the inserts 5 is preferably sized so that they are flush with the corresponding upper or lower edges of the side panels 34 and the front panel 33, so that if fingers are placed there, they will be pushed outward by the side edges of the top support plate 22 or the base support plate 21 when the main body 3 moves, thus preventing one or more fingers from being pinched.
[0085] Especially if Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8and Fig. 9 As shown, the insert 5 is preferably positioned on the rear side of the front panel 33 or the side panel 34 .
[0086] Particularly preferably, the insert 5 extends along all side edges 321 of the base plate 31 or the top plate 32 .
[0087] In order to facilitate the installation of the inserts 5 , these are preferably made in at least two parts.
[0088] In order to further increase the anti-pinch property, the insert 5 can be inclined toward the base plate 31 or the top plate 32 at its edge facing away from the side edge 321 of the base plate 31 or the top plate 32, and have a slope 52, such as Figure 3 is shown as an example.
[0089] Figures 11 to 14 A further design variant of the anti-pinch element is shown.
[0090] The anti-pinch element shown here is designed as a rod 6, such as Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the rod can be movably connected to the translation and rotation fitting 8, so that during the translation and rotation movement of the main body part 3, the rod 6 always covers the area adjacent to the side edge of the base support plate 21 or the top support plate 22, as can be seen in Fig.11 and Fig.12 It can be clearly seen in.
[0091] At least one lever 6 is advantageously detachable, for example coupled to the translation-rotation fitting 8 by means of screws or latching elements.
[0092] In this embodiment, it is particularly preferred that the two rods 6 are movably coupled to the translation and rotation fitting 8. The coupling with the translation and rotation fitting 8 is preferably achieved here via a linear guide 81 of the translation and rotation fitting 8, such as Fig.13 and Fig.14 shown.
[0093] The arrangement of the two rods 6 allows the anti-trap element to be used flexibly with furniture or household appliance elements 1 of different sizes.
[0094] In this design example, a cover strip 4 is also fitted to ensure enhanced anti-pinch properties.
[0095] exist Figures 15 to 19 In the alternative embodiment of the anti-pinch element shown, the insert 5 and the cover strip 4 are connected to each other via nodes 53. At least one of the nodes 53 also has a vertical pin 54 for engagement in the support frame 36.
[0096] Figures 17 to 19An example of using an insert 5 and a cover strip in the region of a side edge 321 of the base plate 31 and of a translation and rotation fitting 8 arranged below the base plate 31 is shown.
