Description

[0001] The invention relates to an arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part, in particular a sliding door or folding sliding door, relative to a furniture body, comprising at least one guide system attached or attachable to the furniture body, at least one support on which the at least one movable furniture part, in particular pivotable and / or hinged, is mounted or can be mounted and over which the at least one movable furniture part is movable relative to the at least one guide system, and at least one drive device with which the at least one support is movable relative to the at least one guide system, with at least one cable. The invention further relates to a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement and to a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement.

[0002] Such an arrangement is already known from the Austrian patent application with file number A 51123 / 2019, in which a rope of a drive device is arranged over balls on the drive device in the delivery state of the drive device in such a way that a fitter has to manually remove the balls from the drive device in order to then arrange them - also manually - on a carrier, so that the drive device can support the removal of the carrier from a receiving shaft.

[0003] A disadvantage of the current state of the art is that manually attaching the drive unit's cable to the support is cumbersome and requires additional time during assembly. Particularly with an already installed receiving shaft, the connection is difficult to achieve due to the drive unit being concealed within the shaft, necessitating its removal. Furthermore, if the cable unexpectedly detaches from the support during operation (for example, due to vibrations and / or a faulty connection), there is no user-friendly way to ensure the assembly's proper functioning.In practice, the coupling of the drive device with the carrier is often forgotten or not properly corrected, which means that increased force is required to move the movable part of the furniture and, moreover, it is difficult to recognize during operation what the cause of the increased force is.

[0004] Further arrangements with a drive device are already known from the documents JP 2008 057258 A, WO 2008 / 128257 A1 and DE 20 2007 008 561 U1.

[0005] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved arrangement, a piece of furniture and a method compared to the prior art, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated, and which are characterized in particular by a particularly convenient coupling of the cable of the drive device with a support or a movable part of the furniture, thereby reducing the risk of a lack of connection between the drive device and the support / movable part of the furniture.

[0006] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0007] It is therefore provided according to the invention that at least one coupling device is arranged on the at least one movable furniture part and / or the at least one support, wherein the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one cable of the at least one drive device when the at least one support moves relative to the at least one guide system.

[0008] This makes it possible that, after the at least one support has been mounted on the at least one guide system, no additional manual couplings are required by the fitter, since the connection between the drive unit and the support can be generated by the relative movement itself.

[0009] In addition, there is the positive feature that if the coupling is released after a renewed movement from an extended position (for example, active position for subsequent covering of furnishings) towards a retracted position (for example, recessed position in a receiving shaft) of at least one support or at least one movable furniture part, the coupling is automatically re-established.

[0010] Accordingly, the installer only needs to arrange the at least one support on the at least one guide system, wherein, when the at least one movable furniture part is inserted into a furniture shaft, the at least one coupling device carries the at least one rope along during a relative movement of the at least one support, and the at least one drive device absorbs energy, by which a movement of the at least one movable furniture part in the direction of the extended position is supported and / or caused.

[0011] In general, the coupling between a point in time of initial coupling and a disassembly of the arrangement can be maintained - for example by clamping the at least one rope in the at least one coupling device, for example via a coupling element of the at least one rope - or can be re-established when the at least one support is moved from the extended position to the retracted position.

[0012] The at least one coupling device can, for example, be fork-shaped and / or comprise a fork-shaped area for receiving the at least one rope and / or at least one coupling element of the at least one rope, wherein the at least one rope and / or the at least one coupling element of the at least one rope can be brought into contact at least partially within the fork-shaped coupling device, preferably clamped in the fork-shaped coupling device and / or brought into frictional engagement with the fork-shaped coupling device and / or brought into positive engagement with the fork-shaped coupling device in a direction along the at least one rope and / or the at least one coupling element.

[0013] The term rope is to be interpreted so broadly that it also includes, for example, a chain or other flexible components capable of withstanding tensile stress, such as cords, threads or wires.

[0014] As stated at the beginning, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement.

[0015] The automatic coupling increases the reliability of the functionality of the arrangement, whereby a clamping process in an insertion process of the at least one support makes an extension process of the at least one movable furniture part more convenient.

[0016] Furthermore, by attaching at least one movable piece of furniture, movement from the furniture shaft in a direction perpendicular to the furniture shaft can be particularly advantageous, since the at least one movable piece of furniture is pushed in the direction of the extended position, thereby facilitating guidance to cover furnishings.

[0017] As stated at the beginning, protection is also sought for a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement with the following process steps: In a preparatory step, the at least one support is arranged on the at least one guide system; in a first step, the at least one support is moved relative to the at least one guide system, whereby in a second step, the at least one cable of the at least one drive device is automatically coupled to the coupling device.

[0018] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0019] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one guide system comprises at least one first guide rail with a longitudinal direction for guiding the at least one movable furniture part along the first guide rail and / or at least one second guide rail for guiding the at least one movable furniture part, wherein the at least one second guide rail runs transversely in a state of use relative to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail and / or the at least one movable furniture part is movable via the at least one support along the at least one first guide rail between an extended position and a retracted position.

[0020] At least one first rail and at least one second rail make it possible to arrange the at least one movable furniture part in specific positions on the at least one guide system, which may include, for example, a parking position or a covering position, and whereby safe guidance between the individual positions can be ensured.

[0021] The extended position and the retracted position are to be applied with respect to all component parts of the arrangement, expressing two different relative positions of the at least one support relative to the at least one guide system.

[0022] Advantageously, it is provided that, upon initial relative movement of the at least one support relative to the at least one guide system, the at least one coupling device can be automatically coupled to the at least one cable and / or the at least one cable is connected to the at least one coupling device in the extended position, the retracted position and / or between the extended position and the retracted position.

[0023] If, after an initial relative movement, the coupling is maintained during operation of the arrangement, it can be prevented that a secure coupling might not be established due to a possible misalignment of the at least one cable. This can be remedied, for example, by clamping the cable using a clamping mechanism, whereby the at least one cable remains securely connected to the at least one coupling device during movement of the at least one movable furniture part.

[0024] It has proven advantageous that the at least one drive device comprises at least one rope drum for winding and unwinding the at least one rope and at least one power storage device for pretensioning the at least one rope drum, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one rope drum and / or the at least one power storage device is, particularly preferably completely, arranged within a housing of the at least one drive device.

[0025] Generally, the at least one rope is wound onto the at least one rope drum for compact storage in the extended position, with one free end protruding from the at least one drive device. If the at least one rope is pulled out of the at least one drive device by a relative movement of the at least one support in the direction of the retracted position, the at least one energy storage device is pre-tensioned, and the stored energy is released to the at least one movable furniture part when it moves in the direction of the extended position.

[0026] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one energy storage device can be tensioned when the at least one support moves towards a retracted position and / or is pre-tensioned or untensioned in an extended position.

[0027] It has proven advantageous that the at least one cable of the at least one drive device comprises at least one coupling element, preferably in the form of a ball, for connecting the at least one cable to the at least one coupling device and / or a spacer element, preferably a truncated cone, spaced apart from the at least one coupling element, for spaced apart the at least one coupling element, preferably from a housing of the at least one drive device that may be present.

[0028] The inclusion of at least one spacer element provides an adjustment option, thereby increasing flexibility in the coupling – particularly when the physical dimensions of the assembly components vary. Furthermore, it creates a distance between the at least one coupling element and the housing or other components such as a guide rail, thus enabling a particularly favorable coupling.

[0029] The at least one coupling element prevents the at least one rope from unintentionally detaching from the at least one coupling device, thus providing a secure arrangement for moving the movable furniture part. Unintentional slippage of the rope relative to the at least one coupling device can be prevented.

[0030] An advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that the at least one drive device has at least one outlet opening through which the at least one rope of the drive device, in a state of use, projects substantially vertically downwards due to gravity to couple with the at least one coupling device.

[0031] If the at least one outlet opening is located at the bottom in the operating state of the arrangement, the cable can assume a defined position, making it particularly easy to connect the at least one drive device to the at least one movable furniture part. The at least one outlet opening is particularly preferably arranged on a housing side of the at least one drive device that is aligned parallel to the at least one first guide rail.

[0032] It is particularly preferred that the at least one coupling device includes at least one receiving device, which preferably includes a tapered recess and / or a holding area.

[0033] At least one of the receiving devices can, for example, be designed as a wedge-shaped device with two side surfaces that taper relative to each other. In general, a convexly or concavely curved receiving device or a receiving device as a folding mechanism is also possible.

[0034] The holding area is preferably arranged adjacent to the at least one receiving device and bonded to it by a material connection. The holding area ensures a secure coupling of the at least one rope to the at least one coupling device and can, for example, be designed in the form of a clamping device; hook-and-loop fasteners and / or adhesive connections are also conceivable.

[0035] In current technology, the rope must be manually maneuvered into a receiving device. A solution with at least one receiving device that can be automatically coupled to the rope offers greater convenience.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one coupling device comprises a base, preferably with at least one opening for fastening means, for connection with the at least one movable furniture part and / or the at least one support, wherein it is preferably provided that at least one web, which has the at least one receiving device, and / or a further web for stiffening is arranged transversely to the base.

[0037] The coupling device is preferably made of metal. However, it can generally also be made of plastic, for example.

[0038] It has proven advantageous that at least one carrier can be moved from a retracted position to an extended position via at least one drive device, preferably automatically.

[0039] The at least one drive device cannot support manual movement of the at least one movable furniture part or replace manual operation by performing the movement automatically.

[0040] In one embodiment of the invention, at least one ejection device is provided, with which the at least one support can be ejected at least section by section from a retracted position towards an extended position, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one support in the retracted position can be moved into an overpressure position behind the retracted position by applying pressure to the at least one support, thereby triggering the ejection device.

[0041] The at least one ejection device can initiate the movement of the at least one movable furniture part along the at least one guide system, whereby a transition from a parked position to a relative movement in the direction of the extended position can be effected.

[0042] According to the invention, the arrangement comprises at least one receiving shaft in which the at least one movable furniture part can be arranged in a retracted position, wherein the at least one movable furniture part can be moved in an extended position transversely to a longitudinal extension of the at least one receiving shaft to cover a furnishing item.

[0043] Preferably, the at least one movable furniture part can be fully arranged in the at least one receiving slot in the retracted position. Preferably, the arrangement includes at least one second guide rail for guiding the at least one movable furniture part, wherein the at least one movable furniture part, in the extended position, can be moved transversely to the longitudinal extent of the at least one receiving slot to conceal a furnishing item via the at least one second guide rail.

[0044] The at least one receiving shaft results in an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture, whereby the arrangement within the at least one receiving shaft can be hidden and, if necessary, the at least one movable part of the furniture can be pulled out to conceal furnishings and moved in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent.

[0045] Particularly preferred is the furniture comprising a furniture body and at least two furniture parts movably mounted relative to the furniture body, wherein the furniture parts are pivotally connected to each other via a vertically extending axis in a state of use, wherein the at least two furniture parts are movable by means of the arrangement between a first position in which the furniture parts are oriented substantially parallel to each other and a second position in which the furniture parts are oriented substantially coplanar to each other, wherein it is preferably provided that the furniture body has at least one receiving slot for receiving the furniture parts in the first position and / or that the furniture parts are movable from a retracted position towards an extended position via at least one drive device.

[0046] This arrangement is particularly suitable for use with multi-panel folding sliding doors. However, movable furniture components are also possible as single-piece panels.

[0047] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one energy storage device of the at least one drive device is tensioned when the carrier is moved from an extended position towards a retracted position and / or that a movement of the carrier from a retracted position towards an extended position is supported, preferably with the aid of at least one ejection device.

[0048] Particularly preferably, the at least one drive device is arranged on a furniture panel and / or the at least one guide system of the arrangement, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one drive device is arranged between two furniture panels of a receiving shaft.

[0049] Further details and advantages of the present invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures and the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. These show: Fig. 1a, 1 a leg arrangement according to a particularly preferred embodiment in a perspective view, Fig. 2 the arrangement according to the embodiment according to Fig. 1a - without furniture wall - with a detailed view of a coupling device and a drive device in front of a coupling in a perspective view, Fig. 3 the arrangement according to the embodiment according to Fig. 1a - without furniture wall and without cover plate - with a detailed section of the coupling device and the drive device shortly before contact of the coupling device with a cable of the drive device, Fig. 4a, 4leg drive device and a coupling device according to a preferred embodiment before coupling in a side view and a perspective view from below, Fig. 5a, 5bthe drive device and coupling device according to Fig. 4a , wherein the coupling device was moved in the direction of the rope, in a side view and a perspective view from below, Fig. 6a, 6b the drive device and coupling device according to Fig. 4a During coupling, in a side view and a perspective view from below, Fig. 7a, 7b the drive device and coupling device according to Fig. 4a after a coupling, whereby the coupling device is positioned a short distance opposite Fig. 6a further moved, Figs. 8a to 9b the drive device and coupling device according to Fig. 4a , wherein the coupling device was moved relative to the drive device and the cable of the drive device moved along with it, Fig. 10 a piece of furniture according to a particularly preferred embodiment with two receiving shafts and two arrangements according to the embodiment according to Fig. 1a .

[0050] Fig. 1a und 1b show an arrangement 1 for guiding a movable furniture part 2 (not shown for clarity - see Fig. 10 ) relative to a furniture carcass 3, comprising a guide system 4 attachable to the furniture carcass 3 and a support 5 on which the movable furniture part 2 can be pivotally and articulatedly mounted. The explicit design of the support 5 is generally arbitrary; for example, the support 5 can be a beam, girder, support, plate, rail, or the like, and the support 5 can also be made up of multiple parts. The movable furniture part 2 is movable relative to the guide system 4 via the support 5.

[0051] The guide system 4 comprises two first guide rails 9 with a longitudinal direction 10 for guiding the movable furniture part 2 along the first guide rails 9, the number of guide rails 9 being generally arbitrary. The movable furniture part 2 is movable via the support 5 along the first guide rails 9 between an extended position 13 and a retracted position 14. The retracted position 14 is indicated by a cross (X), at the position of which, with two furniture panels arranged on the guide system 4, the movable furniture part 2 is completely enclosed in a receiving slot 30 formed by this (see Fig. 10 ) is inserted, whereby in general a partial insertion of the movable furniture part 2 along the first guide rails 9 can also be used as the retracted position 14.

[0052] For the stable guidance of the movable furniture part 2, a Y-shaped reinforcement structure in the form of articulated struts and a diagonally extending guide rope are provided, whereby only the Y-reinforcement structure or the guide rope can be used or it can be dispensed with entirely.

[0053] Fig. 2 The arrangement shown is 1, although both furniture panels forming the receiving shaft 30 are not shown for illustrative purposes.

[0054] The arrangement 1 comprises a drive device 6, which is concealed behind a cover plate. The drive device 6 includes a cable 7, which – as can be seen in the detail view – projects below the cover plate. A coupling device 8 is arranged on the support 5, and the coupling device 8 is automatically coupled to the cable 7 of the drive device 6 when the support 5 moves relative to the guide system 4 in the direction of the retracted position 14.

[0055] In general, the coupling device 8 can be arranged on the movable furniture part 2. In conjunction with the drive device 6, the support 5 is movable relative to the guide system 4 via the drive device 6.

[0056] Starting from the retracted position 14, the carrier 5 can be moved automatically via the drive device 6 to the extended position 13, whereby support for a manual movement is also possible depending on the force setting of the drive device 6.

[0057] Fig. 3 The arrangement 1 shows a cover plate (not shown) during an initial relative movement of the carrier 5 along the first guide rails 9 in the direction of the retracted position 14 for contacting and subsequently coupling the drive device 6 with the carrier 5.

[0058] The coupling can be generated as follows: In a preparatory step, the carrier 5 is positioned on the guide system 4 (already completed in the illustration), the carrier 5 is moved relative to the guide system 4 in a first step (visible in the illustration), whereby in a second step the cable 7 of the drive device 6 is automatically coupled to the coupling device 8 (by subsequent contacting).

[0059] The coupling can be performed and maintained once, or it can be performed again after positioning the carrier 5 in the extended position 13.

[0060] An ejection device 29 is provided, with which the carrier 5 can be ejected section by section from the retracted position 14 towards the extended position 13. In the retracted position 14, the carrier 5 can be moved into an overpressure position behind the retracted position 14 by applying pressure to it, thereby triggering the ejection device 29 and ejecting the carrier 5 towards the extended position 13, with the drive device 6 then performing the movement into the extended position 13.

[0061] Fig. 4a Figure 1 shows the drive device 6 and the coupling device 8 before coupling has been carried out. The drive device 6 can be attached to a cover flap via fastening means.

[0062] A cable 7 protrudes from a housing 17 of the drive device 6, and the cable 7 has a coupling element 18 in the form of a ball 19 for connecting the cable 7 to the coupling device 8. When the cable 7 is positioned in the coupling device 8, the coupling element 18 engages and prevents the cable 7 from unintentionally detaching from the coupling device 8. The coupling can be positive-locking and / or friction-locking.

[0063] The cable 7 includes a spacer element 20 in the form of a truncated cone, spaced apart from the coupling element 18, to distance the coupling element 18 from the housing 17. In general, cylindrical, spherical, or other spacer elements 20 are also possible to space the coupling element 18 from the drive device in such a way that a reliable automatic coupling with the coupling device 8 can be achieved. It is also conceivable that, in an unstretched state of the cable 7, the coupling element 18 protrudes from the housing 17 by a specifically defined length of cable due to gravity, thus eliminating the need for the spacer element 20.

[0064] Fig. 4b shows the geometric design of the drive device 6 and the coupling device 8 from a opposite perspective Fig. 4a inclined viewing direction.

[0065] The coupling device 8 comprises a receiving device 22, which includes a tapered recess 23 and a holding area 24. The receiving device 22 is designed to receive a rope section adjacent to the coupling element 18, the holding area 24 being designed to correspond to the rope in order to ensure a secure connection of the coupling device 8 with the rope 7.

[0066] The coupling device 8 has a receiving device 22 which comprises two inclined surfaces that form an acute angle to each other. The inclined surfaces can generally also form a right angle or an obtuse angle to each other.

[0067] Fig. 5a und Fig. 5b differ from Fig. 4a und Fig. 4b merely in that the coupling device 8 was moved in the direction of the rope 7 and the arrangement 1 is thus shortly before coupling.

[0068] In Fig. 5a A power storage device 16 of the drive device 6, in the form of a coil spring, is shown with dotted lines and is concealed by the housing 17. In general, the power storage device 16 can also comprise other power storage devices such as fluid energy storage systems, leaf springs, tension springs, or compression springs. The power storage device 16 is tensioned when the carrier 5 moves from the extended position 13 towards the retracted position 14.

[0069] A movement of the carrier 5 from the retracted position 14 towards the extended position 13 is supported by the energy storage device 16, whereby an ejection device 29 (not shown in the illustration) can be used to assist in a first movement section.

[0070] The energy storage device 16 can be tensioned when the carrier 5 moves towards the retracted position 14 and can be pre-tensioned or untensioned in the extended position 13, depending on the requirements of the arrangement 1. The energy storage device 16 can generally also include an adjustment device for setting the energy storage capacity.

[0071] The drive device 6 comprises a (shown in dashed lines) rope drum 15 for winding and unwinding the rope 7, with the energy storage device 16 being provided for pre-tensioning the rope drum 15. The rope drum 15 and the energy storage device 16 are arranged completely within the housing 17 of the drive device 6. In general, a partial arrangement within the housing 17 or the housing 17 as a socket may also be provided.

[0072] Fig. 6a und Fig. 6b The figures show the automatic coupling from two different perspectives, whereby, upon the first relative movement of the carrier 5 (on which the coupling device 8 is arranged) relative to the guide system 4, the coupling device 8 is automatically coupled to the rope 7.

[0073] The rope 7 remains connected to the coupling device 8 in the extended position 13, the retracted position 14 and between the extended position 13 and the retracted position 14, whereby it is also possible that the coupling is released in the extended position 13 and is regenerated when the movable furniture part 2 is pushed back in.

[0074] The drive device 6 has an outlet opening 21 through which the rope 7 of the drive device 6, in a state of use 12 of the arrangement 1, extends vertically downwards due to gravity to couple with the coupling device 8.

[0075] The coupling device 8 comprises a base 25 with two openings 26 for fastening means for connection to the movable furniture part 2 and / or the support 5, wherein the coupling device 8 is particularly preferably attached to the support 5.

[0076] At the base 25, a web 27 is arranged transversely to the base 25, which has the receiving device 22 and the holding area 24 for a secure connection, and a further web 28 for stiffening.

[0077] In Fig. 7a und Fig. 7b The coupling device 8 was moved further relative to the drive device 6, with the coupling element 18 maintaining a connection with the coupling device 8 and moving the rope 7 along with it.

[0078] Fig. 8a und Fig. 8b differ from Fig. 7a und Fig. 7b merely in that the coupling device 8 was moved further, with the coupling element 18 pointing in the direction of movement and the spacer 20 being arranged on an opposite side of the receiving device 22.

[0079] In Fig. 9a und Fig. 9b It can be seen how, with a continued movement of the coupling device 8, the rope 7 is moved along with the coupling device 8, thereby charging the power storage device 16.

[0080] Fig. 10 Figure 1 shows a piece of furniture 33 with two arrangements 1 for moving movable furniture parts 2, which form folding sliding doors. In general, the arrangement 1 can also be used for moving single-piece sliding doors, for example, to conceal furnishings 32. The furniture parts 2 can be positioned in the two receiving slots 30 via the arrangements 1. The two guide systems 4 of the two arrangements 1 are attached to the furniture body 3 via two furniture panels each, with each of the two furniture panels having a further spaced-apart furniture panel arranged parallel to form the receiving slots 30.

[0081] The drive device 6 is arranged on the guide system 4. However, the drive device 6 can also be arranged on the furniture panel of the assembly.

[0082] The furniture 33 comprises a furniture body 3 and two furniture parts 2 in the form of a folding sliding door, which are movably mounted relative to the furniture body 3. In a usage state 12 of the arrangement 1, the furniture parts 2 are pivotally connected to each other via a vertically extending axis 34. In general, a movable furniture part 2 in the form of a sliding door can also be provided analogously.

[0083] The two furniture parts 2 are movable by the arrangement 1 between a first position 35, in which the furniture parts 2 are essentially parallel to each other, and a second position, in which the furniture parts 2 are essentially coplanar to each other. The second position is not shown; this is generated by unfolding the two furniture parts 2, whereby, for improved guidance, a guide carriage movable along the second guide rail 11 may be provided for moving the two furniture parts 2 relative to the second guide rail 11.

[0084] In the second position, furnishings 32 are concealed. In the first position 35, the two furniture parts 2 are slidable in a receiving shaft 30 for receiving the furniture parts 2. The two furniture parts 2 can be moved from a retracted position 14 towards an extended position 13 via the drive device 6 of the arrangement 1, with the assistance of a (not visible - cf. Fig. 1a Ejection device 29 is provided. However, ejection device 29 is generally not required. In the illustration, the furniture parts 2 are shown in the extended position 13, with the retracted position 14 indicated by a cross (X).

[0085] The guide system 4 of the arrangement 1 comprises a second guide rail 11 for guiding the movable furniture parts 2 orthogonally to the first guide rails 9, wherein the second guide rail 11 in a state of use 12 runs transversely relative to the longitudinal direction 10 of the first guide rails 9 and connects them for a harmonious movement sequence.

[0086] Arrangement 1 comprises the receiving shaft 30 formed by the parallel arrangement of two furniture panels, whereby arrangement 1 can generally also be provided without a receiving shaft 30 and a tapered arrangement is conceivable. The movable furniture parts 2 can be fully arranged in the receiving shaft 30 in the retracted position 14, whereby a partial arrangement in the receiving shaft 30 is also conceivable.

[0087] The movable furniture parts 2 are movable in the extended position 13 transversely to a longitudinal extension 31 of the receiving shaft 30 to conceal the furnishings 32 via the second guide rail 11.
