Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a translational-rotational fitting according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a furniture or household appliance element.

[0002] Translational-rotational fittings of this type are known, for example, from DE 10 2019 109 866 A1 and serve in particular for the simultaneous translational and rotational movement of a first body relative to a body, for example in the form of a shelf included in a furniture body.

[0003] The translational-rotation fitting described there has proven its worth in practice. The attachment of the fitting plates of the translational-rotation fitting to the first and second cabinet bodies must be carried out very precisely in order to ensure collision-free movement of the second cabinet body relative to the first cabinet body within the available installation space and, furthermore, to guarantee a precise joint pattern when two or more such cabinet bodies are guided by a single translational-rotation fitting.

[0004] From WO 2006 / 039729 A1, a holding and adjusting device for movable furniture parts is known, in which a door of an upper cabinet can be moved in a translational-rotational movement via a length-adjustable actuating lever. The actuating lever is held on the door by a fitting plate. The fitting plate is attached to the door so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a translational-rotational fitting with which alignment in the horizontal plane can be easily carried out even afterwards.

[0006] This problem is solved by a translational-rotation fitting with the features of claim 1.

[0007] A translational-rotational fitting according to the invention for the at least partially forced simultaneous translational-rotational movement of a first body relative to a second body in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation and in a predetermined translational direction comprises a first fitting plate coupled to the first body and a second fitting plate coupled to the second body, which is simultaneously movable translationally and rotationally relative to the first fitting plate. At least one slidably fixed adjustment arrangement is provided on the first fitting plate for the independent alignment of the first fitting plate relative to the first body in two mutually perpendicular adjustment directions in the plane of the translational-rotational movement of the first body relative to the second body by a limited adjustment range.

[0008] With such a slidably fixed adjustment arrangement, alignment in the horizontal plane is easily possible even after the translational-rotation fitting has been installed between the first and second bodies.

[0009] The adjustment mechanism can be designed in different ways.

[0010] According to an advantageous embodiment, the adjustment arrangement comprises a sliding element that is slidably mounted on the first body in the first positioning direction and slidably mounted on the first fitting plate in the second positioning direction. The adjustment arrangement further comprises at least two adjusting units for setting the first fitting plate in the first and second positioning directions.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the sliding element is designed as a base plate with several first elongated holes oriented in the first positioning direction and several second elongated holes oriented in the second positioning direction, wherein first retaining elements attached to the first body are guided through the first elongated holes and second retaining elements attached to the first fitting plate are guided through the second elongated holes, which are in particular designed as bolts or screws.

[0012] With such a sliding element designed as a base plate, the first fitting plate can be easily adjusted in a first positioning direction together with the base plate relative to the first body and in a second positioning direction relative to the base plate itself.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment, the base plate has a first collar with a threaded bore, operatively connected to the first actuating unit and oriented perpendicular to the first actuating direction, and a second collar with a threaded bore, operatively connected to the second actuating unit and oriented perpendicular to the second actuating direction, wherein a first adjusting screw, fixed to the first body, is received in the threaded bore of the first collar and a second adjusting screw, fixed to the first fitting plate, is received in the threaded bore of the second collar.

[0014] For vertical fixing of the translation-rotation fitting to the first body, the adjustment arrangement according to a further preferred embodiment has a first holder and a second holder which are positioned between the base plate and the first fitting plate and serve to slide the base plate to the first body, wherein the first holder has a stop for the stationary but rotatable mounting of the first adjusting screw.

[0015] According to an alternative design variant, the sliding element is designed as a guide cross with a first web oriented in the first positioning direction and a second web oriented in the second positioning direction. The first web is slidably mounted in a groove of a base plate attached to the first body in the first positioning direction, and the second web is guided in a groove of a sliding plate attached to the first fitting plate.

[0016] According to a preferred further development, the two actuating units are fixed in place on the base plate and the sliding plate.

[0017] According to further training, the actuating units have two actuating elements connected to each other by a respective adjusting screw, the distance between which can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw.

[0018] The groove of the sliding plate is covered towards the first fitting plate by a cover plate attached to the base plate and is thus protected in particular from the ingress of dust or dirt.

[0019] According to another alternative embodiment, the adjustment arrangement has two first L-shaped sliding elements held on the first body so as to be slidable in the first adjustment direction, and two second L-shaped sliding elements held on the first body so as to be slidable in the second adjustment direction, wherein the first sliding elements are aligned perpendicular to the second sliding elements.

[0020] Even with such a designed adjustment arrangement, it is possible to easily align the first fitting plate relative to the first body.

[0021] Following an advantageous further development of this design variant, the sliding elements are slidably mounted in holding elements attached to the first body using adjusting screws.

[0022] The adjusting screws are designed, for example, as eccentric screws that protrude into elongated holes of a leg of the sliding elements projecting into the respective holding element.

[0023] In all of the previously described design variants of translational-rotational fittings, the first fitting plate and the second fitting plate of the translational-rotational fitting each have running grooves in mutually facing bearing surfaces in which rolling elements are guided for simultaneous translational-rotational movement.

[0024] According to another alternative design variant, the sliding element is designed as a guide cross with a first web aligned in the first positioning direction and a second web aligned in the second positioning direction, wherein the first web is slidably received in a groove of a base plate attached to the first body in the first positioning direction and the second web is guided in a groove of the first fitting plate.

[0025] This design variant is particularly suitable for a translational-rotational fitting in which a guide element is arranged on the first fitting plate for simultaneous translational-rotational movement. This guide element is movable in a curved guide track located on or within the second plate. The previously described design variants can also be used for a translational-rotational fitting with a guide element and a curved guide track.

[0026] According to a preferred further development of this embodiment of the translational-rotation fitting, the adjusting units have two adjusting bodies connected to each other by a respective adjusting screw, the distance between which can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw, wherein a first adjusting body is attached to the first fitting plate and a second adjusting body is attached to the base plate and the adjusting screws are aligned orthogonally to each other.

[0027] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base plate and the first fitting plate each have guide slots for receiving rivets that fix the base plate and the first fitting plate to each other in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate and which extend in one of the positioning directions, wherein partially overlapping guide slots are oriented in different of the positioning directions.

[0028] A furniture or household appliance element according to the invention comprises a first body and a second body movable relative to the first body, as well as a translational-rotational fitting with which the second body can be moved relative to the first body in a predetermined translational direction and simultaneously in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation, wherein the translational-rotational fitting is designed as described above.

[0029] Preferred embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show:

[0031] In the following figure descriptions, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc., refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the translation-rotation fitting, base plate, holder, sliding plate, guide cross, and the like as chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood as restrictive; that is, these references may change due to different working positions, mirror-symmetrical design, or similar factors.

[0032] In the Figure 1 and 7Reference numeral 1 denotes a furniture or household appliance element 1, which here consists of a first body 2, a second body 3, and a translational-rotation fitting 100 arranged between the first and second bodies. The first body 2 can be, as in the Figure 1 and 7 It can be a support plate or a section of the base of a cabinet or shelving unit. A corresponding furniture element is shown, for example, in DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.

[0033] Accordingly, the second unit 3 can also be implemented as a panel. However, it is also conceivable that the second unit 3 could be designed as a shelving unit with several shelves or storage surfaces arranged vertically.

[0034] It is important that the second corpus 3 is movable relative to the first corpus 2 in a partially constrained simultaneous translational-rotational movement relative to the first corpus 2, in one of two possible opposite directions of rotation R 1 , R 2 as well as in a predetermined translational direction A, as is also described by way of example in the aforementioned DE 10 2019 109 866 A1.

[0035] In the Figures 1-16bSeveral design variants of translational-rotation fittings 100, 200, 300, 400 are shown. All of these translational-rotational fittings 100, 200, 300, 400 have in common that they have a first fitting plate 110, 210, 310, 410 coupled to the first body 2 and a second fitting plate 120, 220, 420 coupled to the second body 3. An adjustment arrangement is slidably fixed to the first fitting plate 110, 210, 310, 410, which serves to align the first fitting plate 110, 210, 310, 410 independently relative to the first body 2 in two mutually perpendicular adjustment directions x, y in the plane of the first body 2, usually a horizontal plane, by a limited adjustment range.

[0036] A first version of a translational-rotational fitting 100 is in the Figures 1-6d depicted.

[0037] In this embodiment, the two fitting plates 110, 120 each have raceways 112, 122 in facing bearing surfaces for simultaneous translational-rotational movement, in which rolling elements 131 are guided. In the embodiment shown here, the rolling elements 131 are designed as balls, which are retained in a rolling element cage 130. Alternatively, the rolling elements could be designed as ball rollers with a cylindrical housing and a ball mounted therein, or the like.

[0038] In addition to the design of the running grooves 112, 122, the predetermined translation direction A is guided by a guide pin 113 which is fixed in position but rotatable in the second fitting plate 120 and which is linearly movable on a slide 114 which is guided in a longitudinal groove of the first fitting plate 110.

[0039] The adjustment arrangement, which serves to align the first fitting plate 110 precisely relative to the first body 2, has a sliding element held on the first body 2 in the first positioning direction x, which is held on the first fitting plate 110 in the second positioning direction y, and at least two adjusting units 4, 5 for adjusting the first fitting plate 110 in the first positioning direction x and the second positioning direction y.

[0040] During the Figures 1-6d In the illustrated embodiment of the translational-rotation fitting 100, the sliding element is designed as a base plate 140. The base plate 140 has several first elongated holes 141 oriented in the first positioning direction x and several second elongated holes 145 oriented in the second positioning direction y, as can be seen, for example, in the Figure 4 The view shown shows the translational-rotational fitting 100 from below with the first body 2 hidden.

[0041] First retaining elements 101, attached to the first body 2, are guided through the first elongated holes 141. Second retaining elements 102, attached to the first fitting plate 110, are guided through the second elongated holes 145. The retaining elements 101 and 102 are designed, in particular, as bolts or screws, as exemplified in Figure 2 The elongated holes 145 are preferably provided in the area of ​​a bulge 144 of the base plate 140 in order to accommodate heads 103 of the retaining elements 102 above the top surface of the first body 2 facing the base plate 140.

[0042] The adjusting units 4, 5, with which the first fitting plate 110 can be aligned or adjusted relative to the first body 2, consist in the embodiment shown here of a first collar 142 and a second collar 143, which are bent from the plane of the base plate 140 in the z-direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate 140, as well as a respective first adjusting screw 104 and second adjusting screw 105.

[0043] The first collar 142, which is oriented perpendicular to the first adjustment direction x, and the second collar 143, which is oriented perpendicular to the second adjustment direction y, each have a threaded bore which engages with the thread of the respective first adjusting screw 104 or second adjusting screw 105.

[0044] A head or collar piece of the first adjusting screw 104 is fixed in position but rotatably attached to the first body 2. This fixing is achieved here via a first holder 150 of the adjustment arrangement, which is positioned between the base plate 140 and the first fitting plate 110 and serves as the sliding support for the base plate 140 on the first body 2. As shown in Figure 3 It is clearly visible that a stop 151 is arranged with a through-hole 152 accessible from a lateral edge.

[0045] The first holder 150 as well as one in the Figures 2 and 3The second holder 160, also shown, is fixed to the first body 2 by means of the first retaining elements 101. By turning the first adjusting screw 104, the base plate 140 can be adjusted in the x-direction relative to the first holder 150 and thus relative to the first body 2 by an adjustment range that is essentially limited by the extension of the threaded section of the first adjusting screw 104 in the x-direction.

[0046] The second adjusting screw 105 is fixed in position, but rotatable, by its head or a collar piece on a collar 111 extending vertically (i.e., in the z-direction) of the first fitting plate 110. Turning the second adjusting screw 105 thus pulls this collar 111 towards or away from the second collar 143 of the base plate 140 in the y-direction.

[0047] The Figures 5a - 5c and 6a - 6d show different positioning of the first fitting plate 110 relative to the first body 2. In the Figures 5a - 5c will the relative position in the Figure 4 The corresponding top view of the base plate is shown from the side of the first body 2. This shows Figure 5a A position shifted from a neutral position in the y-direction, while the orientation in the x-direction is neutral.

[0048] Figure 5b shows a neutral y-position and a maximum displacement of the first fitting plate 110 in the x-direction.

[0049] Figure 5c shows a maximum displacement of the first fitting plate 110 in both the x and y directions.

[0050] In the side views in the Figures 6a - 6d shows Figure 6a a neutral position with the first body 2 and second body 3 arranged exactly one above the other, while the Figures 6b - 6d represent different displacement positions.

[0051] During the Figures 7-9In the second embodiment of a translational-rotational fitting 200 shown in the invention, the actual translational-rotational fitting with first fitting plate 210 and second fitting plate 220 and rolling elements arranged between them is identical to the one shown in the Figures 1-6 described design variant.

[0052] The adjustment arrangement also features a sliding element, which in this case is designed as a guide cross 240.

[0053] The guide cross 240 has a first web 241 aligned in the first positioning direction x and a second web 242 aligned in the second positioning direction y. The two webs 241, 242 are preferably bonded or welded together, or manufactured as a single piece.

[0054] The first web 241 is slidably received in a groove 251 of a base plate 250 attached to the first body 2 in the first positioning direction x. The second web 242 is guided in a groove 261 of a sliding plate 260 attached to the first fitting plate 210.

[0055] The actuating units 4, 5 preferably used in this embodiment consist of two actuating elements 270, 271 connected to each other by an actuating screw 272, the distance between which can be adjusted by turning the actuating screw 272. The two actuating units 4, 5 are, as in the Figure 7 and 8 is shown with its first actuating element 270 fixed to the base plate 250 and with the second actuating element 271 fixed to the sliding plate 260.

[0056] Preferably, the groove 261 and the second web 242 of the guide cross 240 received therein for the first fitting plate 210 are covered by a cover plate 252, which is attached to the base plate 250 via two fixing arms.

[0057] As in the Figures 9a and 9b As shown, the first actuating element 270 has two grooves 273, 274 which serve to fix the adjusting screw 272 in a fixed but rotatable position. By turning the adjusting screw 272, the second actuating element 271 is thus pulled towards or moved away from the first actuating element 270.

[0058] During the Figures 10-13The illustrated embodiment of the translational-rotational fitting 300 has an adjustment arrangement comprising two first L-shaped sliding elements 350 held on the first body 2 in the first adjustment direction x slidable, and two second L-shaped sliding elements 360 held on the first body 2 in the second adjustment direction y slidable, wherein the first sliding elements 350 are aligned perpendicular to the second sliding elements 360.

[0059] Here too, the actual translation-rotation fitting with the first fitting plate 310 and a second fitting plate (not shown here) is analogous to that in the Figures 1 - 6 The described design variant was implemented.

[0060] Only on the underside of the first fitting plate 310 facing the first body 2 are, as in Figure 11As shown, guide bushings 311, 312 are integrally formed or attached, in which the second leg 352, 362 of the L-shaped sliding elements 350, 360 is received and is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the respective guide bushing 311, 312.

[0061] The respective first leg 351, 361 is preferably aligned perpendicular to the respective second leg 352, 362 of the respective sliding element 350, 360.

[0062] The first legs 351, 361 of the sliding elements 350, 360 are received in retaining elements 340 attached to the first body 2. The retaining elements 340 also have guide bushings for guiding the first legs 351, 361, as shown by way of example in the Figures 13a and 13b shown.

[0063] To align the first fitting plate 310 relative to the first body 2, the sliding elements 350, 360 are slidably mounted in the retaining elements 340 attached to the first body 2 with adjusting screws 370.

[0064] During the Figures 13a and 13b In the illustrated embodiment, the adjusting screws 73 are designed as eccentric screws that project into elongated holes in a leg 351, 361 of the sliding elements 350, 360 that projects into the respective retaining element 340, so that turning the eccentric screw causes a linear displacement movement in the direction of the first leg 351 of the sliding elements 350, 360. Due to the perpendicular alignment of the second legs 352, 362, which are received in correspondingly aligned sleeves 311, 312 on the underside of the first fitting plate 310 facing the first body 2, the first fitting plate 310 is thus displaced in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the first leg 351, 361 of the respective sliding elements 350, 360.

[0065] In the Figures 12a - 12eDifferent displacement positions of the first fitting plate 310 relative to the fixed retaining elements 340 on the first body 2 are shown. In this embodiment, adjusting screws 370 are used instead of the eccentric screws 370. Figures 12a and 12b Adjusting screws 370 are shown, which extend through the second leg 352, 362 of the respective sliding element 350, 360, wherein the second legs 352, 362 are provided with internal threads, so that turning the adjusting screws 370 causes a translational movement of the sliding element 350, 360 in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the second leg 352, 362. The adjusting screw 370 is held stationary, but rotatably, on the first fitting plate 310.

[0066] In the alternative design variant according to Figures 12c, 12d and 12e The adjusting screw 370 engages similarly to the one based on the Figures 1 - 6In the illustrated embodiment variant, it is inserted into a threaded bore of a collar 314 of the first fitting plate 310 and is fixed in a stationary but rotatable position on the retaining element 340 with its head or a collar piece.

[0067] Figure 12c This shows a middle or neutral position of the adjustment arrangement, while Figures 12d and 12e Show the respective maximum adjustment positions.

[0068] The Figures 11a - 11c The figures also show the respective different adjustment positions of the first fitting plate 310 relative to the holding elements 340 which are fixed to the first body 2.

[0069] During the Figures 14 - 16bIn the alternative embodiment shown, a guide element 430 is arranged on the first fitting plate 410 for simultaneous translational-rotational movement. This guide element is movable in a curved guide track 421 arranged on or in the second fitting plate 420. The translational movement is guided by an extension guide rotatably fixed to the second fitting plate 420, preferably with two guide rails 401 and running rails 402 slidably guided in these in the translational direction A, as shown in Figure 15 A rotary bearing 403 is received in a corresponding receptacle 422 of the second fitting plate 420 and coupled to the guide rails 402 of the extension guide via a coupling piece 404.

[0070] What next in the Figure 14 , 15 , 16a and 16b As shown, in this version of the translational-rotation fitting 400, the sliding element is analogous to the one shown in the Figures 7-9 The described design variant is formed as a guide cross 440 with a first web 441 aligned in the first positioning direction x and a second web 442 aligned in the second positioning direction y.

[0071] The first bridge 441 is slidably mounted in a groove 451 of a base plate 450 attached to the first body 2 in the first positioning direction x. The second bridge 442 is guided in a groove 411 of the first fitting plate 410.

[0072] In this version as well, preference is given to those from the one in the Figures 7-9 In the described embodiment variant, actuating units 4, 5 are used, each of which has two actuating elements 470, 471 connected to each other by a respective adjusting screw 472, the distance between which can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 472.

[0073] A first adjusting element 470 is attached to the base plate 450, while the respective second adjusting element 471 is attached to the fitting plate 410. The alignment of the adjusting units 4, 5 also refers here to the alignment of the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screws 472, whereby the adjusting screw of the first adjusting unit 4 is aligned orthogonally to the adjusting screw 472 of the second adjusting unit 5.

[0074] What next in the Figure 14 and 15As shown, the base plate 450 and the first fitting plate 410 each have guide slots 412, 452 for receiving rivets 460 that fix the base plate 450 and the first fitting plate 410 to each other in a direction z perpendicular to the plane of the base plate 450.
