Description

[0001] Arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part relative to a furniture body

[0002] 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 which is or can be fastened to the furniture body, at least one support on which the at least one movable furniture part is or can be mounted, in particular pivotably and / or articulately, 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 with which the at least one support can be moved relative to the at least one guide system, with at least one cable, wherein the at least one cable comprises at least one coupling element, and at least one coupling device for coupling to the at least one coupling element.Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement and to a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement.

[0003] Such an arrangement is already known from the document DE 20 2020 107 104 Ul, in which a cable of a drive device is arranged in the delivery state of the drive device via balls on 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 carrier in moving out of a receiving shaft.

[0004] A disadvantage of the state of the art is that the manual connection of the cable of the drive device to the support is cumbersome and requires additional time in the assembly of the arrangement. In particular, in an already installed receiving shaft, the connection is difficult due to the concealed

[0005] The drive device is uncomfortable to operate and requires the mounting shaft to be dismantled. If, for example, the cable accidentally becomes detached from its attachment to the support during operation (e.g. due to vibrations and / or poor connection), there is no user-friendly way to ensure the proper functionality of the device. In practice, the connection of the drive device to the support is often forgotten or not properly corrected, which means that increased force is required to move the movable furniture part and, moreover, it is difficult to determine the cause of the increased force required during operation.

[0006] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide an arrangement, a piece of furniture and a method which are improved compared to the prior art and in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated and which are characterized in particular by a particularly convenient, rapid and / or secure coupling of the cable of the drive device to a support or a movable furniture part, wherein the risk of a missing connection between the drive device and the support / movable furniture part is reduced - in a user-friendly and structurally simple manner.

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

[0008] It is therefore provided according to the invention 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.

[0009] This makes it possible to ensure a defined position of the at least one coupling element relative to the at least one guide system in order to ensure a secure automatic suspension of the cable in the coupling between the at least one carrier and the at least one guide system.

[0010] Positioning of the at least one cable by a fitter during the coupling of the at least one support to the at least one guide system is therefore no longer necessary, since the coupling can be generated automatically by the defined orientation of the at least one coupling element. The defined position of the at least one coupling element can, for example, be achieved via an adhesive connection, a stop, a positive fit, etc. The defined positioning is particularly preferably achieved via an arrangement within a guide, wherein in particular static friction in the extended position can be reduced and / or a harmonious insertion and / or extraction movement of the movable furniture part can be generated.

[0011] Another positive feature is that it can be ensured that ejection of the at least one carrier from the retracted position is facilitated by the at least one drive device—without undesirable decoupling between the at least one coupling element and the at least one coupling device. This simplifies assembly and reduces the need for maintenance work by specialist personnel.

[0012] It is also possible that after the at least one carrier 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 carrier can be generated by the relative movement itself.

[0013] Any possible release of the coupling after a renewed movement from an extended position (for example, active position for subsequent covering of furnishings) towards a retracted position (for example, retracted position in a receiving shaft) of the at least one support or of the at least one movable furniture part is effectively prevented, whereby the coupling can always be guaranteed during assembly and operation of the arrangement.

[0014] Accordingly, the fitter only has to arrange the at least one support on the at least one guide system, wherein the at least one coupling device takes along the at least one cable during a relative movement of the at least one support when the at least one movable furniture part is pushed into a receiving shaft 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.

[0015] The first guide rail can generally be formed in one piece or in several pieces, wherein, for example, a first part of the first guide rail can be provided for guiding the movement of the at least one carrier and a second part of the first guide rail can be provided for guiding the movement of the at least one coupling element.

[0016] In general, the coupling can be maintained between the time of initial coupling and disassembly of the arrangement—for example, by clamping the at least one cable in the at least one coupling device—or can be re-established upon movement of the at least one support from the extended position to the retracted position. Particularly preferably, after assembly, contact between the at least one coupling element and the at least one coupling device remains until disassembly of the arrangement.

[0017] The term rope is to be interpreted so broadly that it also includes, in an analogous manner, a chain or other flexible components capable of withstanding tensile stress, such as cords, threads or wires.

[0018] As stated at the beginning, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture with at least one such arrangement.

[0019] For example, the furniture can be in the form of a cupboard.

[0020] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for assembling and coupling such an arrangement, wherein the following method steps are carried out: In a preparatory method step, the at least one coupling element is arranged on 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, as a result of which in a further assembly step the at least one cable 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 the at least one support.

[0021] The structural design both accelerates and simplifies the assembly process. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0022] According to an advantageous embodiment 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 the extended position of the at least one carrier and the retracted position of the at least one carrier, on and / or in the at least one guide system.

[0023] By permanently arranging the at least one coupling element on the at least one guide system, a defined positioning of the at least one coupling element can be maintained.

[0024] Advantageously, it is provided that a prestress of the at least one drive device can be transmitted to the at least one carrier in the direction of the extended position by means of the at least one drive device and via the at least one, preferably plastic, coupling element.

[0025] This can reduce the amount of force required to move the movable furniture part.

[0026] It has proven advantageous if the at least one guide system for the preferably form-fitting guidance of the at least one coupling element comprises a coupling element guide, preferably a groove, particularly preferably a T-groove, of the first guide rail, wherein it is preferably provided that the coupling element guide has a partially circular, elliptical, rectangular or polygonal cross-section. A coupling element guide can ensure a defined orientation of the at least one coupling element along the at least one guide system in a particularly favorable and precise manner. For example, the connection between the at least one coupling element and the at least one guide system can be brought about by a form-fitting connection in one or two - preferably bidirectional - spatial directions.

[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 and / or at least partially in the at least one guide system between the extended position and the retracted position.

[0028] This can result in an improper position of the at least one coupling element relative to the at least one coupling device being inhibited.

[0029] It has proven advantageous that the at least one coupling device, preferably a driver shoe, can be or is automatically coupled to the at least one cable, preferably the at least one coupling element, of the at least one drive device during a relative movement of the at least one carrier relative to the at least one guide system, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one coupling element can be caught by the at least one coupling device and / or can be pushed along in the direction of the retracted position.

[0030] An automatic coupling can be effected, for example, by means of a receptacle for the at least one coupling device and a corresponding geometry of the at least one coupling element for connecting the two component parts.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 the at least one support, wherein the at least one coupling device is arranged in a movement-coupled manner on the at least one cable and / or the at least one coupling element by a relative movement of the at least one support relative to the at least one guide system, continuously, preferably directly and / or at least partially between the extended position and the retracted position, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one coupling device is arranged, preferably continuously, in the position of use 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.

[0031] It is particularly preferably provided that the at least one drive device has at least one outlet opening through which the at least one cable of the at least one drive device projects, in a state of use of the at least one drive device, due to gravity, essentially vertically downwards and / or transversely to the at least one outlet opening for coupling to the at least one coupling device, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one cable can be moved along via the at least one coupling element and / or essentially parallel to a coupling element guide that may be present.

[0032] Due to the gravity-induced protrusion of the at least one cable from the at least one outlet opening, no additional guides are required to accommodate the at least one cable in the extended position, wherein the at least one cable can be automatically moved along the at least one guide system by a guide.

[0033] In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one coupling element has a longitudinal extent which is preferably greater than a width of the at least one coupling element, and wherein the longitudinal extent is guided substantially parallel to the at least one guide system and / or a coupling element guide which may be present.

[0034] This makes it possible to reduce a tendency of the at least one coupling element to jam and / or tilt along the at least one guide system and / or to achieve a harmonious movement of the at least one coupling element - for example in addition to favorable sliding friction properties between the at least one coupling element and the at least one guide system.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one coupling element comprises a guide section, preferably with a guide bulge, and / or at least one contact section, preferably spatially spaced from the guide bulge, and / or a coupling section, preferably spatially spaced from the guide section and / or the at least one contact section, wherein it is preferably provided that the guide section, the at least one contact section and / or the coupling section are arranged in a star shape and / or as at least three essentially orthogonally arranged, particularly preferably exactly four mirror-symmetrically and / or symmetrically arranged, webs of the at least one coupling element. The guide section can, for example, engage in a coupling element guide and bring about linear guidance.The at least one contact section can prevent undesired canting or tilting of the at least one coupling element by providing support. The coupling section can be used for connection to the at least one coupling device.

[0036] If the webs are designed to be mirror-symmetrical or symmetrical, the at least one coupling element can be used in at least two layers and / or for two guide systems arranged on both sides of the furniture body, without, for example, having to produce additional injection molding tools, which can save costs in production.

[0037] It has proven to be advantageous that the at least one coupling element comprises a contacting section oriented substantially orthogonally to the guide section, the at least one contact section and / or the coupling section for coupling to the at least one coupling device, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one coupling device is designed to correspond to the contacting section.

[0038] Contact with the at least one coupling device via the contacting section can be made point-like, linear, or planar. For example, if the at least one coupling device has a tapered receiving area, the contacting section and / or the coupling section can be clamped within the at least one coupling device for connection. Contact with a side surface is generally also conceivable.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the at least one coupling device comprises a base, preferably with at least one opening for fastening means, for connection to the at least one movable furniture part and / or the at least one support and a receptacle, preferably projecting transversely from the base, preferably with three substantially orthogonal side surfaces, wherein it is preferably provided that the receptacle comprises a tapered receptacle area, particularly preferably for coupling to a possibly present contacting section of the at least one coupling element.

[0039] In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one coupling element, preferably via a possibly present web, partially engages in the at least one guide system and partially protrudes from the at least one guide system, preferably substantially in the orthogonal direction from the at least one guide system, and / or can be received by the at least one coupling device substantially in the orthogonal direction to the at least one guide system for moving the at least one carrier along a longitudinal direction of the at least one guide system.

[0040] This particularly facilitates a safe and / or simple coupling of the components involved.

[0041] 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 runs transversely relative to a longitudinal direction of the first guide rail in a use state of the arrangement. Furnishings can be concealed via the second guide rail - for example in conjunction with a carriage. A carriage can generally also be used within a receiving shaft of a piece of furniture.

[0042] It is particularly preferably provided that, upon a first relative movement of the at least one carrier 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 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.

[0043] This can prevent the at least one cable from becoming detached from the at least one coupling device and then remaining in a decoupled state.

[0044] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the at least one drive device comprises at least one cable drum for winding and unwinding the at least one cable and at least one energy storage device for pre-tensioning the at least one cable drum, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one cable drum and / or the at least one energy storage device is arranged, particularly preferably completely, within a housing of the at least one drive device.

[0045] In general, the at least one cable is wound on the at least one cable drum in the extended position for compact storage, with a free end protruding from the at least one drive device. If the at least one cable 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 pretensioned, with the stored energy being transferred to the at least one movable furniture part when the at least one movable furniture part moves in the direction of the extended position.

[0046] Advantageously, it is provided that the at least one energy storage device can be tensioned during a movement of the at least one carrier in the direction of the retracted position and / or is pre-tensioned or untensioned in the extended position and / or an ejection process of the at least one carrier, preferably together with the sliding door or a folding sliding door, can be supported and / or carried out by a movement coupling between the at least one coupling element and the at least one coupling device and / or via the at least one energy storage device and / or at least one ejection device, preferably from a receiving shaft.

[0047] It has proven advantageous that the at least one carrier can be moved, preferably automatically, from the retracted position into an extended position via the at least one drive device.

[0048] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one ejection device is provided, with which the at least one carrier can be ejected from the retracted position by the at least one ejection device at least in sections in the direction of the extended position, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one carrier can be moved in the retracted position by exerting pressure on the at least one carrier into an overpressure position lying behind the retracted position, as a result of which the ejection device can be triggered and / or locked in the retracted position by the at least one ejection device.

[0049] 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 - for example in the sense of a touch-latch device - whereby a transition from a parking position into a relative movement in the direction of the extended position can be effected automatically.

[0050] It is particularly preferably provided that the arrangement comprises at least one receiving shaft in which the at least one movable furniture part can be arranged in the retracted position, preferably completely, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one movable furniture item can be moved in the extended position transversely to a longitudinal extent of the at least one receiving shaft in order to conceal a piece of furniture, particularly preferably via at least one second guide rail that may be present.

[0051] The at least one receiving shaft results in an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture, wherein the arrangement can be concealed within the at least one receiving shaft and, if necessary, the at least one movable furniture part can be pulled out to conceal furnishings and moved in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extent.

[0052] It is preferably provided that the piece of furniture has a furniture body and at least two furniture parts which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the furniture body, the furniture parts being connected to one another in an articulated manner via a vertically extending axis in a state of use of the arrangement, the at least two furniture parts being movable by the arrangement between the extended position in which the furniture parts are aligned substantially parallel to one another and a second position in which the furniture parts are aligned substantially coplanar to one another, it is preferably provided that the furniture body has at least one receiving shaft for receiving the furniture parts in the retracted position and / or the furniture parts are movable from the retracted position towards the extended position via the at least one drive device.

[0053] It is preferably provided that at least one energy storage device of the at least one drive device is tensioned during a movement of the carrier from the extended position towards the retracted position and / or a movement of the carrier from the retracted position towards the extended position is supported, preferably with the aid of at least one ejection device and / or the at least one coupling element remains continuously coupled in terms of movement between the retracted position and the extended position with the at least one coupling device.

[0054] Further details and advantages of the present invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings.

[0063] Fig. 7 shows a piece of furniture according to a preferred embodiment in a perspective view.

[0064] Fig. 1a shows an arrangement for guiding a movable furniture part 1 such as a sliding door, a folding sliding door or the like relative to a furniture body 2 (cf. Fig. 7), comprising a guide system 3 fastened to the furniture body 2, a support 4 on which the movable furniture part 1 can be pivoted or articulated 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 Fig. 7), as well as a drive device 7 with which the support 4 can be moved relative to the guide system 3.

[0065] Fig. 1b differs from Fig. 1a only in that the arrangement is shown in a different viewing direction. In the arrangement, an ejection device 33 is provided, with which the carrier 4 can be ejected in sections from the retracted position 5 by the ejection device 33 in the direction of the extended position 6. In the retracted position 5, the carrier 4 can be moved by exerting pressure on the carrier 4 into an overpressure position lying behind the retracted position 5, as a result of which the ejection device 33 can be triggered, wherein the carrier 4 can be locked in the retracted position 5 by the ejection device 33 in order to prevent an undesired movement of the carrier 4 out of a fully retracted position.

[0066] Starting from the retracted position 5, the carrier 4 can be moved automatically into the extended position 6 via the drive device 7, provided there is sufficient pretension. However, it is preferred that manual maneuvering of the carrier be assisted, which is further facilitated by the ejection device 33.

[0067] In Fig. 2a, it is evident that the support 4, to which the movable furniture part 1 is to be mounted, is located in the extended position 6. In the enlarged detail, it can be seen that the drive device 7 comprises a coupling element 9, which—concealed by the support 4—is arranged on a cable 8 of the drive device 7.

[0068] Fig. 2b shows the arrangement according to Fig. 2a at an acute angle to the guide system 3, wherein it can be seen that the at least one guide system 3 for the positive guidance of the coupling element 9 comprises a coupling element guide 12 in the form of a T-slot of a first guide rail 11.

[0069] Before the support 4 is mounted on the guide system 3, the coupling element 9 is arranged directly on the guide system 3 in sections in the first guide rail 11 for automatic coupling with a coupling device 10. In general, it is also conceivable for the coupling element to be fixed to the outside of the guide system 3 in a defined position. The coupling device 10 is provided for coupling the movable furniture part 1 to the coupling element 9 of the drive device 7, which is mounted on the support 4. In general, the coupling device 10 can also be fastened to the movable furniture part 1.

[0070] Fig. 3a shows the coupling between the coupling device 10 and the coupling element 9 on the guide system 3. In this exemplary embodiment, the coupling element guide 12 has a partially circular cross-section, although elliptical 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.

[0071] During assembly of the carrier 4, the coupling device 10 is brought into contact with the coupling element 9 for the first time, thereby 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 constantly arranged directly on and partially in the guide system 3.

[0072] During a first relative movement of the carrier 4 relative to the guide system 3, the coupling device 10 can be automatically coupled to the coupling element 9 and the cable 8 is connected or motion-coupled to the coupling device 10 via the coupling element 9 in the extended position 6, the retracted position 5 and between the extended position 6 and the retracted position 5.

[0073] A method for assembling and coupling the arrangement can be carried out as follows: in a preparatory method step, the coupling element 9 is arranged on or in the guide system 3, in a subsequent first assembly step the support 4 is moved relative to the guide system 3, whereby in a subsequent and automatically occurring assembly step the cable 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.

[0074] The coupling device 10 is arranged on the carrier 4, wherein the coupling device 10 is arranged in a movement-coupled manner on the coupling element 9 by a relative movement of the carrier 4 relative to the guide system 3, directly between the extended position 6 and the retracted position 5.

[0075] In the position of use of the drive device 7, the coupling device 10 is arranged continuously below the drive device 7 and in some areas between the drive device 7 and the coupling element 9.

[0076] The coupling element 9 remains continuously coupled to the coupling device 10 between the retracted position 5 and the extended position 6.

[0077] The coupling device 10 in the form of a driver shoe is automatically connected to the cable 8 and the coupling element 9 of the

[0078] Drive device 7 can be coupled. The coupling element 9 is captured by the coupling device 10 and pushed towards the retracted position 5.

[0079] As can be seen in the views according to Fig. 3b and 3c, the coupling element 9 is guided along the guide system 3 between the extended position 6 of the carrier 4 and the retracted position 6 of the carrier 4, in the guide system 3.

[0080] In Fig. 3c, it is schematically indicated in dotted lines that the drive device 7 comprises a force storage device 31 which is tensioned when the carrier 4 moves from the extended position 6 towards the retracted position 5 and at least supports a movement of the carrier 4 from the retracted position 5 towards the extended position 6. An ejection device 33 can also be used to support an ejection process of the carrier 4 from the retracted position 5; however, this is generally not absolutely necessary.

[0081] The drive device 7 comprises a cable drum 30 (shown in dotted lines) for winding and unwinding the cable 8 and the energy storage device 31 for pretensioning the cable drum 30. The cable drum 30 and the energy storage device 31 are arranged entirely within a housing 32 of the drive device 7.

[0082] The energy storage device 31 can be tensioned when the carrier 4 moves in the direction of the retracted position 5 and is pre-tensioned or untensioned in an extended position 6. An ejection process of the carrier 4 is supported together with the sliding door or the folding sliding door by a movement coupling between the coupling element 9 and the coupling device 10 as well as via the energy storage device 31 and optionally in some areas via the ejection device 33 from a receiving shaft 34 (see Fig. 7), whereby the required manual force on the carrier 4 is reduced or optionally no longer required.

[0083] By means of the drive device 7 and the plastic coupling element 9, a pre-tension of the drive device 7 on the carrier 4 can be transmitted via the coupling device 10 in the direction of the extended position 6.

[0084] Fig. 4 shows that the drive device 7 has an outlet opening 13 through which the cable 8 of the drive device 7 projects, in a use state of the drive device 7 in the extended position 6 due to gravity, essentially vertically downwards to the coupling with the coupling device 10. After displacement of the coupling element 9, the cable 8 projects transversely out of the outlet opening 13 since the cable 8 is moved along the coupling element 9 and parallel to the coupling element guide 12.

[0085] Fig. 5a shows a partially retracted position 5, wherein the coupling element 9 has been moved along the guide system 3 by the coupling device 10. The drive device 7 is partially tensioned.

[0086] Fig. 5b differs from Fig. 5a only in that the positioning of the coupling device 10 on the coupling element 9 is shown. In the direction of the retracted position 5, the coupling device 10 moves the coupling element 9, while in the direction of the extended position the coupling element 9 moves the coupling device 10.

[0087] In the exploded view 6a of the components for the

[0088] Coupling between carrier 4 and guide system 3 it can be seen that the coupling element 9 has a longitudinal extension 14 which is larger than one (both) width(s) 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 bulges 17, two contact sections 18 spatially spaced from the guide bulge 17 and a coupling section 19 spatially spaced from the guide section 16 and the contact sections 18.

[0090] The guide section 16, the contact sections 18 and the coupling section 19 are star-shaped and arranged as four orthogonally arranged - mirror-symmetrical and symmetrically oriented - webs of the coupling element 9.

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

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

[0093] Fig. 6b shows that the coupling device 10 is designed to correspond to the contacting section 21 of the coupling element 9.

[0094] The coupling device 10 comprises a base 22 with two openings

[0095] 23 for fastening means (see Fig. 3a) for connection to the movable furniture part 1 or the support 4 and a receptacle 24 projecting transversely from the base 22.

[0096] The receptacle 24 comprises three orthogonal side surfaces 25, wherein the receptacle 24 has a tapered receptacle region 26 for coupling with the contacting section 21 of the coupling element 9.

[0097] Fig. 7 shows a piece of furniture 38 with an arrangement, the furniture 38 having a furniture body 2 and, on both sides, two furniture parts 1 in the form of a folding sliding door which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the furniture body 2.
