[0001] Sliding door fittings and a piece of furniture with such a sliding door fitting

[0002] Description

[0003] The present invention relates to a sliding door fitting for guiding a sliding door and a piece of furniture with such a sliding door fitting.

[0004] A sliding door fitting for a piece of furniture is designed to guide the movement of the sliding door from a first position, in which the sliding door is open and the furniture is accessible, to a second position, in which the sliding door is closed and the furniture is locked. Sliding door fittings can also support the sliding door, thereby supporting the weight acting on it.

[0005] DE 3731123 A1 discloses a sliding door fitting for guiding a sliding door of a cabinet. It comprises an upper guide consisting of two symmetrical parts and a front and rear rail. Spring-loaded stop elements are arranged at one end of the rear rail facing the cabinet side.

[0006] Based on this, the present invention is based on the object of providing a sliding door fitting for guiding a sliding door, which has a space-efficient design, as well as a piece of furniture with such a sliding door fitting.

[0007] To achieve the object underlying the invention, a sliding door fitting for guiding a first sliding door is proposed, comprising: a first guide element and a second guide element, each of which can be connected to the first sliding door, a guide arrangement having a first end section and a second end section, which are connected to one another via a central section, and via which the first guide element can be guided from a first closed position to a first open position, and via which the second guide element can be guided from a second closed position to a second open position, wherein the first closed position of the first guide element is arranged in the region of the central section and the second closed position of the second guide element is arranged in the region of the first end section,wherein a first damper unit for damping a movement of the first guide element from the first open position to the first closed position, wherein a damping force of the first damper unit is transferable via the first guide element to the second guide element.,

[0008] In the inventive sliding door fitting, the damping force of the damper unit is initially transferred to the first guide element in the region of the central section. The damping force can then be transferred from the first guide element to the second guide element. The damping force can be transferred from the first guide element to the second guide element via the sliding door or via a separate connecting element. The force thus flows from the first damper unit via the first guide element to the second guide element. The first damper unit is thus also designed to dampen a movement of the second guide element from the second open position to the second closed position.

[0009] In one possible embodiment, the guide assembly can have a central module and a first end module. The central module can form the center section of the guide assembly, and the first end module can form the first end section of the guide assembly. The central module can comprise the first damper unit. In particular, the first damper unit can be integrated into the central module. The center section of the guide assembly can thus be integrated into the central module together with the first damper unit.

[0010] In a further possible embodiment, the central module can comprise a first transfer element that is adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position of the first transfer element, the first guide element can be held in the first closed position. In the extended position of the first transfer element, the first guide element can be arranged on the guide arrangement so that it can be displaced toward the first open position. In the extended position of the first transfer element, the second guide element can be arranged on the first end module so that it can be displaced from the second closed position toward the second open position. The first damper unit can be connected to the first transfer element.

[0011] The central module may comprise a housing. The first transfer element may be guided in or on the housing. The first damper unit may be at least partially integrated into the housing.

[0012] In one possible embodiment, the second guide element can be guided and / or carried by the central module in the second open position.

[0013] In one possible embodiment, the central module or the central section can be arranged at least partially in a central plane of the guide assembly, in particular a plane of symmetry of the guide assembly. The central plane is understood to be the plane that divides the longitudinal extension of the sliding door fitting into equal-length sections.

[0014] In one possible embodiment, the sliding door fitting can comprise a third guide element and a fourth guide element, each of which can be connected to a second sliding door. The guide arrangement can be configured such that the third guide element can be guided from a third closed position to a third open position, and the fourth guide element can be guided from a fourth closed position to a fourth open position. The third closed position of the third guide element can be arranged in the region of the central section. The fourth closed position of the fourth guide element can be arranged in the region of the second end section.

[0015] The guide arrangement can have a second end module, which forms the second end section of the guide arrangement and is at least indirectly, in particular detachably, connected to the central module. The fourth guide element can be displaceable on the second end module from the fourth closed position toward the fourth open position.

[0016] The central module can comprise a second transfer element that is adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the third guide element is held in the third closed position in the retracted position of the second transfer element and is arranged displaceably on the guide arrangement toward the third open position in the extended position of the second transfer element. The second damper unit can be connected directly or indirectly to the second transfer element.

[0017] In a further embodiment, a second damper unit may be provided for damping a movement of the third guide element from the third open position to the third closed position, wherein a damping force of the second damper unit is transferable to the fourth guide element via the third guide element.

[0018] The second transfer element can be guided in or on the housing of the central module. The second damper unit can be at least partially integrated into the housing of the central module. Thus, the central section of the guide arrangement can be integrated into the central module together with the first damper unit and / or the second damper unit.

[0019] The first damper unit and / or the second damper unit can be designed as a hydraulic damper, a pneumatic damper or a friction damper, in particular as a telescopic damper.

[0020] In a further possible embodiment, the second end module can comprise a housing having a track section of the guide arrangement on which the first guide element is arranged in the first open position. A first damper arrangement for damping a movement of the first guide element from the first closed position to the first open position can be integrated into the housing of the second end module. The second end section of the guide arrangement can thus be integrated into the second end module together with the first damper arrangement. A damping force of the first damper arrangement can be transmitted to the second guide element via the first guide element.

[0021] In one possible embodiment, the first end module can comprise a housing having a track section of the guide arrangement on which the third guide element is arranged in the third open position. A second damper arrangement for damping a movement of the third guide element from the third closed position to the third open position can be integrated into the housing. The first end section of the guide arrangement can thus be integrated into the first end module together with the second damper arrangement. A damping force of the second damper arrangement can be transmitted to the fourth guide element via the third guide element.

[0022] The first damper arrangement and / or the second damper arrangement can be designed as a retraction damper unit.

[0023] The object underlying the invention is also achieved by a piece of furniture, comprising: a body and a first sliding door and / or a second sliding door, and a sliding door fitting according to a type described above, which is connected to the body, wherein the first guide element and the second guide element are each connected to the first sliding door and / or the third guide element and the fourth guide element are each connected to the second sliding door.

[0024] The first sliding door closes the piece of furniture when the first guide element is in the first closed position and the second guide element is in a second closed position, and the first sliding door makes the piece of furniture accessible when the first guide element is in the first open position and the second guide element is in a second open position. The second sliding door closes the piece of furniture when the third guide element is in the third closed position and the fourth guide element is in the third closed position, and the second sliding door makes the piece of furniture accessible when the third guide element is in the third open position and the fourth guide element is in a fourth open position.

[0025] An embodiment of the inventive sliding door fitting is described below with reference to the figures.

[0026] Figure 1 is a plan view from above of a piece of furniture with a first sliding door, a second sliding door and a sliding door fitting according to the invention, both sliding doors closing the piece of furniture;

[0027] Figure 2 shows the view from Figure 1, wherein the first sliding door is arranged in a first partially open position;

[0028] Figure 3 shows the view from Figure 1, wherein the first sliding door is arranged in a second partially open position;

[0029] Figure 4 shows the view from Figure 1, wherein the first sliding door is arranged in a fully open position;

[0030] Figure 5 shows the view from Figure 1, wherein the second sliding door is arranged in a first partially open position;

[0031] Figure 6 shows the view from Figure 1, wherein the second sliding door is arranged in a second partially open position;

[0032] Figure 7 shows the view from Figure 1, with the second sliding door arranged in a fully open position; Figure 8 shows a detailed view of the central module of the sliding door fitting from Figure 1 without the cover,

[0033] Figure 9 shows a detailed view of the first end module of the

[0034] Sliding door fitting from Figure 1;

[0035] Figure 10 shows a detailed view of the second end module of the

[0036] Sliding door fitting from Figure 1;

[0037] Figure 11 is a perspective view of a section through the central module along a longitudinal axis of the first damper unit, wherein the first transfer element is arranged in the retracted position; and

[0038] Figure 12 is a perspective view of a section through the central module along a longitudinal axis of the first damper unit, wherein the first transfer element is arranged in the extension position.

[0039] Figures 1 to 12, which are described together below, show a sliding door fitting 1 for a piece of furniture 2. In this case, the sliding door fitting 1 is firmly connected to the top of a body 3 of the piece of furniture 2. The sliding door fitting 1 has a guide arrangement 9 designed to guide and / or support a sliding door arrangement.

[0040] The sliding door arrangement in the present case comprises a first sliding door 4 and a second sliding door 4'. A first guide element 5 is fastened to the first sliding door 4 via a first support element 6, and a second guide element 7 is fastened to the first sliding door 4 via a first support element 6, and a second guide element 7 is fastened to the first support element 6 via a bearing, so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation. The second guide element 7 is fastened to the second support element 8 via a bearing, so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation. A third guide element 5' is fastened to the second sliding door 4' via a third support element 6', so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation, and a fourth guide element 7' is fastened to the second sliding door 4' via a fourth support element 8', so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation. The guide elements 5, 5', 7, 7' can each be designed, for example, in the form of a guide roller.

[0041] When the first sliding door 4 is closed, the first guide element 5 is in a first closed position and the second guide element 7 is in a second closed position. The first sliding door 4 thus closes the piece of furniture 2 or the part of the furniture 2 assigned to the first sliding door 4. When the first sliding door 4 is open, the first guide element 5 is in a first open position and the second guide element 7 is in a second open position. The first sliding door 4 thus makes the piece of furniture 2 or the part of the furniture 2 assigned to the first sliding door 4 accessible.

[0042] When the second sliding door 4' is closed, the third guide element 5' is in a third closed position and the fourth guide element 7' is in a fourth closed position. The second sliding door 4' thus closes the piece of furniture 2 or the part of the furniture 2 assigned to the second sliding door 4'. When the second sliding door 4' is open, the third guide element 5' is in a third open position and the fourth guide element 7' is in a fourth open position. The second sliding door 4' thus makes the piece of furniture 2 or the part of the furniture 2 assigned to the second sliding door 4' accessible.

[0043] The guide assembly 9 comprises a rail assembly 10 having a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12. The first guide rail 11 is arranged between the sliding doors 4, 4' and the second guide rail 12, so that the first guide rail 11 can also be referred to as the front guide rail and the second guide rail 12 as the rear guide rail.

[0044] The first guide rail 11 is designed such that both the first guide element 5 connected to the first sliding door 4 can be guided along a first guide path and the third guide element 5' connected to the second sliding door 4' can be guided along a second guide path of the first guide rail 11. The first guide element 5 connected to the first sliding door 4 can follow the first guide path between the first closed position and the first open position. For this purpose, the first guide rail 11 has a first closed holding section 13 on which the first guide element 5 is arranged in the first closed position, a first open holding section 15 on which the first guide element 5 is arranged in the first open position, and a first transfer section 14 which connects the first closed holding section 13 and the first open holding section 15 to one another.

[0045] The third guide element 5' connected to the second sliding door 4' can follow the second guide path between the third closed position and the third open position. For this purpose, the first guide rail 11 has a second closed holding section 13' on which the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' is arranged in the third closed position, a second open holding section 15' on which the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' is arranged in the third open position, and a second transfer section 14' that connects the second closed holding section 13' and the second open holding section 15'.

[0046] The first guide path and the second guide path of the first guide rail 11 overlap in the region between the first locking retaining section 13 and the second locking retaining section 13'. It is understood that the overlapping regions can be configured integrally with one another. In other words, the first guide element 5 of the first sliding door 4 and the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' can be guided on the same rail sections of the first guide rail 11 in the region between the first locking retaining section 13 and the second locking retaining section 13'.

[0047] The second guide rail 12 is designed such that both the second guide element 7 connected to the first sliding door 4 can be guided on a first guide path and the fourth guide element 7' connected to the second sliding door 4' can be guided on a second guide path of the second guide rail 12.

[0048] The second guide element 7 connected to the first sliding door 4 can follow the first guide path of the second guide rail 12 between the second closed position and the second open position. For this purpose, the second guide rail 12 has a first closed holding section 19 on which the second guide element 7 is arranged in the second closed position, a first open holding section 21 on which the second guide element 7 is arranged in the second open position, and a first transfer section 20 that connects the first closed holding section 19 and the first open holding section 21 to one another.

[0049] The first transfer section 20 has a first subsection 22, a second subsection 23, and a curved section 24. The first subsection 22 and the second subsection 23 are arranged transversely to one another. The first subsection 22 and the second subsection 23 are connected to one another via the curved section 24.

[0050] The fourth guide element 7' connected to the second sliding door 4' can follow the second guide path of the second guide rail 12 between the fourth closed position and the fourth open position. For this purpose, the second guide rail 12 has a second closed holding section 19' on which the fourth guide element 7' is arranged in the fourth closed position, a second open holding section 2T on which the fourth guide element 7' is arranged in the fourth open position, and a second transfer section 20' that connects the second closed holding section 19' and the second open holding section 2T. The second transfer section 20' has a first partial section 22', a second partial section 23', and a curved section 24'. The first partial section 22' and the second partial section 23' are arranged transversely to one another. The first partial section 22' and the second partial section 23' are connected to one another via the curved section 24'.

[0051] As can be seen from a comparison of Figures 4 and 7, the first guide path and the second guide path of the second guide rail 12 partially overlap. It is understood that the overlapping areas can be designed integrally with one another. In other words, the second guide element 7 of the first sliding door 4 and the fourth guide element 7' of the second sliding door 4' can be guided on the same rail sections of the second guide rail 12 in the overlapping area.

[0052] The guide arrangement 9 comprises a central module 18 with a first transfer element 16, which can also be referred to as a carriage element. The first transfer element 16 is adjustable between a retracted position, as shown in Figure 1, and an extended position, as shown, for example, in Figure 8. The central module 18 has a housing 34 on which the first transfer element 16 is mounted on a guide 35, which is designed, in particular, as a linear guide, for displacement along a movement axis L_35.

[0053] A first section of the first guide rail 11, namely the first closing holding section 13, is integrated into the first transfer element 16. The first guide element 5 is arranged in the first closed position in the retracted position of the first transfer element 16. In the retracted position of the first transfer element 16, the first guide element 5 is held in the first closed position on the first closing holding section 13 of the first guide rail 11, so that displacement of the first guide element 5 in the direction of the first open position is blocked. The first sliding door 4 is arranged in the retracted position of the first transfer element 16 such that the piece of furniture 2, or the part of the piece of furniture 2 assigned to the first sliding door 4, is closed.

[0054] In the extended position of the first transfer element 16, the first guide element 5 is arranged on the guide arrangement 9 such that it can be displaced from the first partial section of the first guide rail 11 toward the first open position. In the extended position of the first transfer element 16, the first sliding door 4 is arranged such that the piece of furniture 2, or the part of the piece of furniture 2 associated with the first sliding door 4, is at least partially accessible, and the first guide element 5 can be displaced on the first guide rail 11 such that the first sliding door 4 is fully opened.In the extended position of the first transfer element 16, the first partial section of the first guide rail 11 is arranged such that another partial section of the first guide rail 11, namely the first transfer section 14, adjoins the first partial section, so that a continuous rail section of the first guide rail 11 is formed by the two partial sections. In this respect, the central module 18 comprises the first closing holding section 13 and a part of the first transfer section 14 of the first guide rail 11.

[0055] A first sub-section 17 of the second guide rail 12 is integrated into the first transfer element 16. The first closing holding section 13 and the first sub-section 17 of the second guide rail 12 are arranged parallel to one another in the first transfer element 16. In the extended position of the first transfer element 16, the first sub-section 17 of the second guide rail 12 is arranged such that two further sub-sections of the second guide rail 12 are connected to one another via the first sub-section 17 of the second guide rail 12, such that a continuous rail section of the second guide rail 12 is formed by the three sub-sections. A continuous rail section should be understood to mean that the guide roller can be guided on the rail section, whereby possible parting lines are harmless.In the extended position of the first transfer element 16, the second guide element 7 can be moved from the second closed position over the first partial section 17 of the second guide rail 12 to the second open position.

[0056] The central module 18 has a first damper unit 30 for damping the movement of the first transfer element 16 from the first open position to the first closed position. The first damper unit 30 is embodied here as a single-tube damper. However, any other damper design is also conceivable, for example, a dual-tube damper or a rotary damper. The first damper unit 30 comprises a cylinder 31 in which a piston 32 is guided. The cylinder 31 is integrated into the housing 34 of the central module 18. The cylinder 31 and the piston 32 extend along a longitudinal axis L_30 of the first damper unit 30, which is arranged parallel to the movement axis L_35.

[0057] The piston 32 divides the cylinder 31 into two variable chambers in a known manner and extends out of the cylinder 31 with a connecting section 33. The piston 32 is firmly connected to the first transfer element 16 via the connecting section 33. The piston 32 thus follows a movement of the first transfer element 16. The movement of the piston 32 varies the respective volume of the two chambers of the first damper unit 30, and the fluid contained therein, for example oil or air, flows via a valve arrangement from the decreasing chamber into the increasing chamber of the cylinder 31. As a result, a force acts on the piston 32 that opposes the movement of the first transfer element 16 and dampens it.

[0058] The damping force of the first damper unit 30 is thus transmitted via the first transfer element 16 to the first guide element 5 when the latter is moved toward the first closed position. The damping force is transmitted from the first guide element 5 to the first sliding door 4 and from there to the second guide element 7.

[0059] The central module 18 has a second transfer element 16', which is adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. The third guide element 5', connected to the second sliding door 4', is arranged in the third closed position when the second transfer element 16' is retracted and can be displaced on the guide assembly 9 toward a third open position when the second transfer element 16' is extended. The central module 18 is designed to be mirror-symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry E_sym_9. Thus, the second transfer element 16' is also designed to be a mirror image of the first transfer element 16. Identical elements are therefore identified by the same reference numerals together with a prime. For identical elements, what was previously stated in the context of the first transfer element 16 applies analogously to the second transfer element 16'.

[0060] A second subsection of the first guide rail 11, namely the second closing holding section 13', is integrated into the second transfer element 16'. The third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' is arranged in the third closed position in the retracted position of the second transfer element 16'. The third guide element 5' is held in the third closed position in the retracted position of the second transfer element 16' on the second closing holding section 13' of the first guide rail 11, thus blocking any displacement of the third guide element 5' toward the third open position. The second sliding door 4' is arranged in the retracted position of the second transfer element 16' such that the piece of furniture 2, or the part of the piece of furniture 2 associated with the second sliding door 4', is closed.

[0061] In the extended position of the second transfer element 16', the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' is arranged on the guide assembly 9 such that it can be displaced from the second closing holding section 13' of the first guide rail 11 toward the second open position. In the extended position of the second transfer element 16', the second sliding door 4' is arranged such that the piece of furniture 2, or the part of the piece of furniture 2 associated with the second sliding door 4', is at least partially accessible, and the third guide element 5' can be displaced on the first guide rail 11 such that the second sliding door 4' is fully opened.In the extended position of the second transfer element 16', the second section of the first guide rail 11 is arranged such that another section of the first guide rail 11, namely the second transfer section 14', adjoins the second section, so that a continuous rail section of the first guide rail 11 is formed by the two sections. In this respect, the central module 18 comprises the second closing holding section 13' and a part of the second transfer section 14' of the first guide rail 11.

[0062] A second sub-section 17' of the second guide rail 12 is integrated into the second transfer element 16'. The second closing holding section 13' and the second sub-section 17' of the second guide rail 12 are arranged parallel to one another in the second transfer element 16'. In the extended position of the second transfer element 16', the second sub-section 17' of the second guide rail 12 is arranged such that two further sub-sections of the second guide rail 12 are connected to one another via the second sub-section 17' of the second guide rail 12, so that a continuous rail section of the second guide rail 12 is formed by the three sub-sections. In the extended position of the second transfer element 16', the fourth guide element 7' of the second sliding door 4' can be moved from the fourth closed position via the second sub-section 17' of the second guide rail 12 to the fourth open position.

[0063] The central module 18 has a second damper unit 30' for damping the movement of the third guide element 5' from the third open position to the third closed position. The second damper unit 30' is designed analogously to the first damper unit 30. The second damper unit 30' thus comprises a cylinder in which a piston is guided. The cylinder is integrated into the housing 34 of the central module 18. The cylinder and the piston extend along a longitudinal axis of the damper unit 30', which is arranged parallel to a movement axis of the second transfer element 16'. The piston divides the cylinder into two variable chambers in a known manner and extends out of the cylinder with a connecting section. The piston is connected to the second transfer element 16' via the connecting section. The piston thus follows a movement of the second transfer element 16'.The movement of the piston varies the respective volume of the two chambers of the cylinder, and the fluid contained therein, for example, oil or air, flows via a valve arrangement from the shrinking chamber into the expanding chamber of the cylinder. This exerts a force on the piston that opposes and dampens the movement of the second transfer element 16'.

[0064] The damping force of the second damper unit 30' is thus transmitted via the second transfer element 16' to the third guide element 5' when the latter is moved toward the third closing position. The damping force is transmitted from the third guide element 5' to the second sliding door 4' and from there to the fourth guide element 7'.

[0065] The guide assembly 9 comprises a first end module 25 and a second end module 25', each of which defines the ends of the guide assembly 9. In other words, the guide assembly 9 extends from a first end section 28, formed by the first end module 25, to a second end section 28', formed by the second end module 25'. The first end section 28 and the second end section 28' are connected via a central section 29, which is at least partially formed by the central module 18.

[0066] The first end module 25 comprises the first closing holding section 19 and a portion of the first transfer section 20 of the second guide rail 12. The first end module 25 comprises, in particular, the first partial section 22 and the curved section 24 of the first transfer section 20 of the second guide rail 12. The first end module 25 thus has the function of bridging a distance transverse to the longitudinal extent of the sliding door fitting 1 between the second closed position and the second open position. The first end module 25 also comprises the second opening holding section 15' and a portion of the second transfer section 14' of the first guide rail 11.

[0067] The first end module 25 comprises a second damper assembly 27, which is designed to dampen the movement of the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' toward the third open position, at least in a final portion of the movement. When the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' comes into contact with the second damper assembly 27, the second damper assembly 27 retracts the third guide element 5' of the second sliding door 4' toward the third open position. The first end module 25 thus has the function of dampening the movement of the second sliding door 4' and / or the third guide element 5' toward the third open position and of retracting the second sliding door 4' and / or the third guide element 5' into the third open position.
