Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fixed piece of furniture and a guide arrangement for guiding at least one sliding door or folding sliding door relative to the fixed piece of furniture.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture comprising a fixed furniture part, at least one sliding door or folding sliding door, and at least one guide arrangement for guiding the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door relative to the fixed furniture part. The invention further relates to a method for assembling such a piece of furniture.

[0003] A guide arrangement for guiding a sliding door is already known from document WO 2008 / 071016 A1, wherein a guide rail is attached under a base of a cabinet and a cover has several holding devices produced by an injection or die-casting process, each with two legs and a locking means, to attach the cover to the guide rail.

[0004] A disadvantage of the prior art is that, with a cover plate mounted on the guide rail, the retaining devices are only supported over the area between one leg and the locking element on the guide rail. This results in the negative effect that the cover plate can detach from the guide rail when the sliding door moves along the guide rail and / or when pressure is applied to the floor. Furthermore, the casting process used for the retaining devices results in a retaining device that has a high material density but low stability in its load-bearing structures. This leads to instability of the cover plate after it is mounted on the guide rail, and even slight forces on the cover plate, due to the single contact area of ​​the retaining device with the guide rail, increase the tendency for the cover plate to fall off the cabinet.Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the guide arrangement is designed in such a way that only one underside of the cabinet is provided with a cover attached via the holding devices.

[0005] Further management directives are known from documents US 3,983,600 A, US 4,845,807 A, WO 2017 / 000006 A1 and WO 2018 / 129574 A1.

[0006] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide a guide arrangement improved compared to the prior art, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated, and which is characterized in particular by a position-secure positioning of an aperture via holding devices on a guide rail, whereby convenient assembly and / or disassembly of the aperture on the guide rail is ensured.

[0007] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0008] According to the invention, at least one, preferably both, of the at least two holding devices has a sheet metal bent part, preferably consisting of the sheet metal bent part, wherein at least one, preferably both, of the at least two holding devices has at least one contact surface which is encompassed by the mounting section and is arranged flat on the back of the panel, wherein at least one, preferably both, of the at least two holding devices has at least two spring tongues which are encompassed by the at least one locking mechanism and which are designed such that a free end of the at least two spring tongues can be supported on a projection of the at least one guide rail, whereby a tensile force can be exerted on the holding device in the direction of the at least one guide rail, wherein the guide rail is arranged above a top surface of the stationary furniture part.

[0009] This makes it possible for the holding device to be adapted to a specific design of at least one guide rail shape by bending the sheet metal part.

[0010] Furthermore, the holding device, which encompasses the sheet metal bending part, is easy to manufacture, thus saving costs in production.

[0011] In addition, the positive feature is that the holding device encompassing the sheet metal bending part can be arranged on the at least one guide rail via a multitude of contact points, thereby preventing at least one cover from detaching from the at least one guide rail.

[0012] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture according to claim 8, comprising a fixed furniture part, at least one sliding door or folding sliding door and at least one such guide arrangement for guiding the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door relative to the fixed furniture part, wherein the furniture has at least one panel on which the at least two retaining devices are mounted via the mounting sections, wherein the retaining devices are attached to the at least one guide rail by means of the at least one locking mechanism and thus hold the panel on the at least one guide rail.

[0013] The at least one guide arrangement enables convenient assembly and / or disassembly of the at least one cover on the at least one guide rail via the at least two holding devices, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture.

[0014] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for assembling such furniture, according to claim 13, wherein the following method steps are carried out, preferably in the specified chronological order: The at least one guide rail is attached to the fixed part of the furniture above a top panel of the furniture, the at least two holding devices are mounted on the at least one panel via the mounting sections, the at least one panel is attached to the at least one guide rail by means of the at least one locking mechanism of the holding device.

[0015] This enables a force-fit connection from the at least one cover via the at least two holding devices and the at least one guide rail to the stationary furniture part, ensuring easy assembly and / or disassembly of the at least one cover on and / or from the furniture.

[0016] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0018] The at least one track enables low-friction operation of the at least one guide device. Connecting the holding devices to the at least one guide rail can be done before or after mounting the at least one guide device. Preferably, the at least one guide device is first attached to the at least one guide rail, and then the at least one cover is attached to the at least one guide rail via the holding devices. Particularly preferably, the at least one guide device is moved away from the at least one guide rail before mounting the cover.

[0019] Since holding means for receiving the holding devices are arranged on the longitudinal side, the at least one guide rail can be formed in one piece, without the need for separate devices for arranging the holding devices and the at least one guide device.

[0020] Advantageously, it is provided that two of the at least two holding devices have at least one contact surface which is encompassed by the mounting section and can be brought into contact with the rear of the panel, and / or at least one, preferably both, of the at least two holding devices has at least one opening for receiving a mounting means with which the holding device can be mounted on the panel, wherein the at least one opening is encompassed by the mounting section, and / or at least one, preferably both, of the at least two holding devices has at least one, preferably resilient, support device with which the holding device can be supported on the at least one guide rail in the operating position in a vertical direction, preferably wherein the at least one support device has a transverse web projecting transversely to a contact surface and / or a tab arranged parallel to, and preferably offset by a step, a contact surface.and / or at least one, preferably both, of the at least two holding devices is designed symmetrically about a central plane.

[0021] The at least one contact surface enables a flat contact between the holding devices and the aperture, thus ensuring a secure positioning of the holding devices on the aperture.

[0035] It is particularly preferred that the at least one cover plate covers one longitudinal side of the at least one guide rail, preferably wherein the at least one cover plate only partially covers the longitudinal side of the at least one guide rail, particularly preferably wherein at least one longitudinal strip of the at least one guide rail is not covered by the at least one cover plate and a connecting device of the at least one guide device, which connects the drive mechanism to the fastening device, is arranged or can be arranged at the level of the at least one longitudinal strip.

[0036] In one embodiment of the invention, the furniture has a top surface, at least one guide rail is arranged above the top surface, and at least one cover panel covers the at least one guide rail in such a way that a gap is arranged between an underside of the cover panel and the top surface of the top surface, through which the at least one guide rail is accessible.

[0037] By covering the guide rail with at least one cover, an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture is created, whereby at least one guide device can be moved across the gap and arranged on the at least one guide rail.

[0038] A distance between the top of the top surface and the bottom of the cover - which defines the gap - can be adjusted so that the at least one connecting device can be arranged in the gap and the drive can be connected to the fastening device and / or as large an area as possible of the at least one guide rail can be covered by the cover.

[0039] It has proven advantageous that at least one ejection device is arranged on the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door, and that at least one retaining means, preferably a metal plate, for which at least one ejection device is arranged, is arranged on a front side of the panel, which is opposite a rear side on which the at least two retaining devices are mounted.

[0040] The at least one ejection device enables the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door to unfold from a coplanar closed position when pressure is applied to the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door.

[0041] At least one restraint means enables the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door to remain in the coplanar closed position by means of an ejection device that remains in a locked state until pressure is exerted on the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door.

[0042] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the furniture has at least one interior space that can be at least partially covered by the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door, in which kitchen furniture and kitchen appliances can be arranged or are arranged, and / or has at least one cavity extending in a depth direction of the furniture for at least partially receiving the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door.

[0043] The inclusion of at least one cavity allows for the concealment of at least one sliding door or folding sliding door, facilitating access to at least one interior space and providing a more aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture.

[0044] Alternatively, it is possible that the at least one guide device, which is slidably mounted on the at least one guide rail via the drive, is moved in a further process step to a further guide rail separate from the at least one guide rail or to a guide rail section separate from the at least one guide rail before the at least one cover is attached to the at least one guide rail.

[0045] By moving the at least one guide device into an area separate from the at least one guide rail, the at least one cover is exposed and not covered by the at least one guide device. This facilitates the mounting of the at least one cover on the at least one guide rail and increases the ease of use of the at least one guide arrangement.

[0046] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one guide device which is slidably mounted on the at least one guide rail via the drive is attached in a further process step to the at least one sliding door or folding sliding door by means of the fastening device.

[0047] This enables the movement of at least one sliding door or folding sliding door to be guided by at least one guide device, whereby the movement follows a defined path without the sliding door or folding sliding door becoming jammed or worn during use.

[0054] The drive unit 6 is arranged on three raceways 14 of the guide rail 4. The drive unit 6 has four rolling elements for a rolling motion of the drive unit on the three raceways 14. However, the number of rolling elements is arbitrary.

[0055] Two retaining devices 8, the second retaining device 8 being concealed in the view by the first retaining device 8, are arranged between the guide rail 4 and the cover 10. The retaining devices 8 connect the guide rail 4 to the cover 10.

[0056] The guide device 5 comprises a connecting device 30, which connects the drive 6 to the mounting device 7 and is arranged in the gap 41. The connecting device 30 is U-shaped. In a service position of the guide device 5, the connecting device 30 is arranged on a downward-facing outer side of the guide device 5.

[0057] Fig. 3a shows the section of furniture 36 in an enlarged view, with the guide device moved a short distance away from the stationary part of the furniture 3.

[0058] A sliding door 2a or folding sliding door 2b can be attached to the fastening device 7 of the guide device 5, preferably by means of fastening means.

[0059] Fig. 3b Figure 1 shows an enlarged top view of the section of furniture 36. The panel 10 has a front 43 and a back 44, with the back 44 facing the guide rail 4 and the front 43 facing the fastening device 7.

[0060] Fig. 4a The furniture 36 shows the fixed furniture part 3, a folding sliding door 2b instead of the sliding door 2a according to Fig. 1 and a guide arrangement 1 for guiding the folding sliding door 2b relative to the fixed furniture part 3.

[0061] The furniture 36 has an interior space 47, which can be covered by the folding sliding door 2b and in which kitchen furniture and kitchen appliances can be arranged. The furniture has a cavity 50 extending in a depth direction 49 of the furniture 36 for receiving the folding sliding door 2b.

[0062] An ejection device is arranged on the folding sliding door 2b (not shown in the illustration), wherein the ejection device is arranged between two panels of the folding sliding door 2b and is connected to one of the two panels. A retaining element 45 in the form of a metal plate 46 for the ejection device is arranged on the front side 43 of the cover 10.

[0063] The panel 10 is arranged on the furniture 36, with the retaining devices 8 being mounted on the panel 10 via mounting sections 9. The retaining devices 8 are attached to the guide rail 4 by means of locking mechanisms 11 so that the panel 10 is held on the guide rail 4.

[0064] The folding sliding door 2b is guided by the guide rail 4 located at the top of the furniture 36. However, the folding sliding door 2b can also generally be guided, for example, by a guide arrangement located at the bottom of the furniture 36 – e.g., in the form of another rail.

[0065] Fig. 4b The furniture 36 is shown without the cover 10, with the guide rail 4 exposed. The folding sliding door 2b has moved laterally along the guide rail 4, thus enabling easy mounting of the cover 10 onto the guide rail 4 using the retaining devices 8.

[0066] Fig. 5a Figure 36 shows the furniture 36 without cover 10 in an enlarged view with a detail view of the guide rail 4, which is fixed to the stationary furniture part 3 and is arranged above the top 40 of the top surface 38.

[0067] Fig. 5b Figure 1 shows the guide arrangement schematically, wherein to the right of the guide rail 4, on which the guide device 5 is arranged, there is a further guide rail 32 separate from the guide rail 4 and a guide rail section 33 separate from the guide rail 4.

[0068] The folding sliding door 2b is mounted on a support 34 with one of its two panels. The guide device 5, which is connected to the second panel, can be moved onto the separate guide rail section 33 located on the support 34. The folding sliding door 2b can be moved from the separate guide rail section 33 onto the further guide rail 32, for example, to be moved into a shaft.

[0069] In a procedure of the folding sliding door 2b along the further guide rail 32, the support 34 is guided along two support rails 35.

[0070] The guide assembly 1 includes the support 34 on which the sliding door 2a or folding sliding door 2b can be pivotally mounted. The guide assembly 1 has two support rails 35 on which the support 34 is slidably mounted and which are arranged transversely to the guide rail 4.

[0071] Fig. 6a Figure 1 shows the guide rail 4 and the cover 10 from the front in a disassembled state. The retaining element 45 can be attached via two holes in the front side 43 of the cover 10.

[0072] The guide rail 4 has a longitudinal side 13 with three raceways 14 for the running gear 6, wherein retaining means 15 are provided on the longitudinal side 13 which can be connected to the locking mechanism 11 of the retaining devices 8 in order to fasten the retaining devices 8 to the guide rail 4.

[0073] Fig. 6b Figure 1 shows a holding device 8 in three views. The holding device 8 has a mounting section 9 for mounting the holding device 8 to the cover 10 and three locking mechanisms 11. The holding device 8 can be attached to the guide rail 4 by means of the locking mechanisms 11.

[0074] The holding device 8 consists of a sheet metal bent part 12. The sheet metal bent part 12 can be manufactured, for example, by a punching machine and subsequently by a bending process.

[0075] The holding device 8 has a contact surface 16 which is encompassed by the mounting section 9 and can be brought into contact with the guide rail 4.

[0076] The holding device 8 has two openings 17 for receiving a mounting means by which the holding device 8 can be mounted to the aperture 10. The two openings 17 are encompassed by the mounting section 9. The number of openings 17 is generally arbitrary.

[0077] Fig. 7 Figure 44 shows the guide rail 4 and the cover 10 from the rear, with four holding devices 8 mounted on the rear 44.

[0078] In an enlarged detail view, the arrangement of the holding device 8 on the cover 10 is visible. The contact surface 16 of the mounting section 9 rests flat against the rear side 44 of the cover 10. The locking mechanisms 11 project transversely from the rear side 44 and can be arranged on the guide rail 4.

[0079] Fig. 8a Figure 1 shows aperture 10, which is arranged on the guide rail 4. An enlarged detail view shows, in a perspective side view, the contact between the holding device 8 and the guide rail 4.

[0080] Fig. 8b Figure 1 shows the initial contact of the holding devices 8 with the guide rail 4. The holding device 8 has a spring-loaded support device 19, with which the holding device 8 can be supported on the at least one guide rail 4 in the vertical direction 20 in the operating position.

[0081] The support device 19 has a crossbar 22 projecting transversely to a contact surface 16. The crossbar 22 allows for planar contact with the guide rail 4 when the cover plate 10 is mounted.

[0082] The holding device 8 has three spring tongues 26 which are encompassed by the three locking mechanisms 11.

[0083] Fig. 9a differs from Fig. 8a only in that the aperture 10 was moved a little further towards the guide rail 4.

[0084] Fig. 9b Figure 10 shows how the cover 10 partially covers the longitudinal side 13 of the guide rail 4. A longitudinal strip 37 of the guide rail 4 remains uncovered by the cover 10. A connecting device 30 of the guide device 5 can be arranged at the level of the longitudinal strip 37, which connects the drive 6 to the mounting device 7.

[0085] Fig. 10a shows a guide rail 4 with a cover 10 mounted over four retaining devices 8 (three retaining devices 8 are concealed by the guide rail 4).

[0086] Fig. 10b shows a side view of the cover 10 mounted on the guide rail 4 via the holding devices 8.

[0087] The guide rail 4 has retaining means 15 which can be connected to the locking mechanisms 11 of the holding device 8.

[0088] The three spring tongues 26 are designed such that two free ends of two spring tongues 26 are supported on two projections 28 of the guide rail 4, thereby exerting a tensile force on the holding device 8 in the direction of the guide rail 4. This prevents the aperture 10 from unintentionally detaching from the guide rail 4.

[0089] The three spring tongues 26 are curved in certain areas. Two of the three spring tongues 26 have two inclined surfaces, and the third spring tongue 26 has one inclined surface. The three spring tongues 26 are arranged vertically 20 apart from each other on the holding device 8 and project at different distances from the contact surface 16 of the holding device 8.

[0090] Fig. 11a Figure 8 shows a holding device 8 according to a further preferred embodiment in three views, wherein the holding device 8 is designed symmetrically to a central plane 25.

[0091] The holding device 8 has two tabs 24 arranged parallel to and offset from the mounting surface 16 by a step. The holding device 8 is mirror-symmetrical about the central plane 25.

[0092] The holding device 8 comprises two spring tongues 26, wherein the spring tongues 26 are bent and resilient.

[0093] Fig. 11b Figure 8 shows a holding device 8 according to a further preferred embodiment, wherein the support device 19 is formed by a radius and no tab 24 is provided.

[0094] The lower spring tongue 26 has three inclined surfaces and the upper spring tongue 26 has one inclined surface.

[0095] The two openings 17 are located along the mounting surface 16 opposite the holding device 8. Fig. 11a offset upwards. This results in a more favorable force transmission via the lower spring tongue 26, since a greater torque can be transmitted from the lower detent mechanism 11 of the aperture 10 to the guide rail 4.

[0096] The holding device 8 can, for example, be made of aluminum sheet, steel sheet and / or plastic.

[0097] Fig. 11c Figure 8 shows a holding device 8 according to a further preferred embodiment with two spring tongues 26 and a tab 24, which is arranged parallel to the contact surface 16 via a step.

[0098] The holding device 8 can be positioned securely on the guide rail 4 via two locking mechanisms 11, whereby the tab 24 can be used to support the holding device 8 on the guide rail 4 in a vertical direction 20.

[0099] Fig. 12a Figure 1 shows a guide rail 4 according to a further preferred embodiment, wherein the guide rail 4 is symmetrical and has two raceways 14.

[0100] A lower step of the guide rail 4, which projects transversely from the raceway 14, can be used to arrange the guide device 5, so that the guide device 5 is prevented from tipping away from the guide rail 4 and low-friction rolling of the guide device 5 along the guide rail 4 is encouraged.

[0101] A holding device 8 according to the in Fig. 11c The illustrated embodiment is mounted on the guide rail 4. An enlarged detail section is shown on the left.

[0102] The support device 19 in the form of a tab 24 is supported on a retaining element 15 in the form of a projection 28 of the guide rail 4.

[0103] Two spring tongues 26 are supported on two further projections 28 of the guide rail 4, thereby pressing a cover 10 to be mounted on the holding device 8 in the direction of the guide rail 4.

[0104] Fig. 12b shows a mounted holding device 8 according to the one in Fig. 11a The embodiment shown is mounted on a guide rail 4 according to a further preferred embodiment, wherein in the enlarged view arranged on the left a support of the lower tab 28 on a projection 28 of the guide rail 4 can be seen.

[0105] The symmetrically arranged spring tongues 26 are located on two further projections 28 of the guide rail 4 and prevent the retaining device 8 from unintentionally slipping out of the guide rail 4. This promotes a secure positioning of the cover 10 on the guide rail 4.
