Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fitting, in particular a furniture fitting, for the movable mounting of a pivoting element, in particular a furniture part, a door or a window, relative to a stationary support, comprising: a first fitting part which is designed to be attached to a plate of the carrier, preferably oriented substantially horizontally, a second fitting part for attachment to the pivoting element, wherein the second fitting part is pivotably connected to the first fitting part, at least one pivot axis which is arranged on the second fitting part and is oriented substantially orthogonally relative to a longitudinal extension of the first fitting part and / or the second fitting part, and at least one adjusting device for adjusting an orientation of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part along the at least one pivot axis, wherein the second fitting part is displaceable via the at least one adjusting device parallel to the at least one pivot axis relative to the first fitting part.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to an arrangement comprising at least one such fitting and a socket, a piece of furniture with a stationary support and at least one such fitting or such an arrangement, and a method for adjusting the height of such a fitting.

[0003] Such a fitting is already known from EP 3 289 157 B9, in which the positioning of the fitting relative to the pivot element can be changed via an eccentric screw of an adjustment device for adjusting the height of the pivot element relative to the fitting. The eccentric screw is arranged on a lateral web which extends parallel to a pivot axis of the fitting and orthogonally to a longitudinal dimension of the fitting.

[0004] The kinematics of the fittings in such pivot elements limit the positioning and access options for the adjustment devices. Particularly when mounting heavy pivot elements to such fittings, it is essential to enable simple attachment and height adjustment of the pivot elements relative to the fittings. Furthermore, an aesthetically pleasing appearance and a high degree of stability combined with ease of adjustment, despite the compact design of the fittings, are of significant importance. A disadvantage of the current state of the art is that the orthogonally oriented web necessitates a complex groove in the pivot element. Additionally, the positioning of the fitting within the pivot element requires consideration of two orthogonal spatial directions, or degrees of freedom, and sufficiently low tolerances must be maintained.Furthermore, the L-shaped fitting detracts from its visual appeal. Additionally, the bridge reduces the rigidity of the pivot element and increases the likelihood of the fitting breaking out. Moreover, the bridge necessitates a greater vertical distance between the fitting and the top edge of the pivot element, a factor that must be considered, particularly with regard to the corresponding furniture panels. Finally, the eccentric screw limits height adjustment, which can impair access to the adjustment mechanism, especially on tall pivot elements.

[0005] Further fittings are already known from the documents CN 214 740 665 U, EP 3 289 157 B9 and CH 331 159 A.

[0006] The objective technical object of the present invention is therefore to provide a fitting for the movable mounting of a pivoting element that is improved compared to the prior art, in which the disadvantages of the prior art are at least partially eliminated, and which is characterized in particular by a compact design, a simplified positioning on the pivoting element and a user-friendly adjustment of the height of the pivoting element relative to the fitting.

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

[0008] According to the invention, it is therefore provided that the at least one adjusting device is spatially spaced away from the at least one joint axis in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the second fitting part.

[0009] This makes it possible to avoid the need for a complex groove to position the second fitting part on or in the pivot element, and to design the fitting to be compact and able to be positioned close to a top edge and / or bottom edge in the operating position.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the pivot element (in its operating position) relative to the first fitting can be conveniently adjusted during installation and / or by a user of the fitting. Due to the fitting's design, the pivot element exhibits reduced breakout behavior, and the carrier plate can be more flexibly adapted to the pivot element's design.

[0011] In addition, there is the positive feature that the height adjustment of the swivel element can be generated with reduced effort by means of the at least one adjustment device spaced apart from the at least one joint axis in the longitudinal extension of the second fitting part, whereby in particular a lever effect between the at least one adjustment device and the at least one joint axis can be used.

[0012] A translation with respect to the force required and / or the precision of the vertical positioning of the first fitting part relative to the pivoting element can be adjusted by spacing the at least one adjusting device relative to the at least one joint axis and / or a bearing point between the at least one adjusting device and the at least one joint axis.

[0013] In this context, the adjusting device can be considered the operating device of the fitting for a fitter or user to adjust the height, which may interact with separate transmission components for moving fitting parts after actuation of the adjusting device.

[0014] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for an arrangement consisting of at least one such fitting and a socket for the at least partial arrangement of the second fitting part within the socket.

[0015] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a piece of furniture with a stationary support and at least one such fitting and / or arrangement for the movable mounting of a pivoting element, in particular a part of furniture, a door or a window, relative to the stationary support, wherein the first fitting part is inserted at least partially in the stationary support and the second fitting part is inserted at least partially in the pivoting element, preferably in a socket integrated in the pivoting element.

[0016] As stated at the outset, protection is also sought for a method for adjusting the height of such a fitting, in particular a pivoting element relative to a stationary support of such furniture by means of such a fitting, wherein the at least one adjusting device brings a transmission device into a rotational movement relative to the second fitting part and the second fitting part is brought into a translational movement relative to the first fitting part via the transmission device.

[0017] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0018] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second fitting part is essentially cuboid in shape, preferably with the at least one pivot axis being located in the region of a first end of the second fitting part and the at least one adjustment device being located in the region of a second end of the second fitting part, spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part.

[0019] The second fitting component may include a damping device, which is integrated, for example, as a plunge damper in the second fitting component and / or in the first fitting component.

[0020] Advantageously, it is provided that the first fitting part is arranged on the second fitting part via at least one articulated lever, wherein it is preferably provided that the at least one articulated lever is arranged on at least one of the at least one articulated axis, preferably via at least one coupling device, particularly preferably a connecting plate.

[0021] The at least one coupling device can have a dual function in connecting the at least one joint lever to the second fitting part as well as in guiding or mediating a transmission of the height adjustment of the pivot element relative to the first fitting part at the at least one adjustment device.

[0022] It has proven advantageous that the at least one pivot axis is designed in the form of at least one pin, preferably exactly two pins, wherein it is preferably provided that the second fitting part and / or the at least one coupling device can be guided by at least one pin during a movement of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part and / or the at least one pivot lever is arranged on the second fitting part via at least one pin and / or a further pin is provided for securing the at least one pivot lever.

[0023] The use of pins particularly facilitates translational movement for parallel height adjustment without unwanted swiveling movement.

[0024] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a transmission device is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part between the at least one adjusting device and the at least one joint axis.

[0025] The transmission device allows a setting on the at least one adjustment device to be transferred particularly conveniently to a coupling device and / or the first fitting part. For example, the at least one adjustment device can convert the transmission device into a rotational movement relative to the second fitting part, and / or the second fitting part can be converted into a translational movement relative to the first fitting part via the transmission device. For example, the transmission device can include a receptacle for the coupling device, which is arranged on the at least one pivot axis and generates a motion coupling between the transmission device and the coupling device guided on the at least one pivot axis.

[0026] It has proven advantageous that the transmission device is designed as a rocker, preferably of a plate shape, wherein the transmission device is rotatably arranged on the second fitting part via a bearing device, preferably arranged between the at least one pivot axis and the at least one adjustment device and / or spatially spaced from the at least one pivot axis and / or the at least one adjustment device, wherein it is preferably provided that a rotational movement of the transmission device about the bearing device mediated via the bearing device can be translated into a translational movement of the second fitting part relative to the at least one pivot axis, particularly preferably via a coupling of the transmission device with at least one coupling device, if any.

[0027] The rocker preferably rotates / rocks around the bearing point between the adjusting device and the coupling device and / or in a plane which is defined by the longitudinal extension of the second fitting part and the orientation of at least one joint axis.

[0028] An advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that the at least one bearing device is mounted on the second fitting part in a manner slidable in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part.

[0029] This allows for adjustment of the height adjustment mechanism. On the one hand, the force required for the relative positioning between the swivel element and the first fitting can be adjusted, and on the other hand, the degree of precision in the relative positioning can be set.

[0030] It is particularly preferred that the transmission device has a profile, preferably designed as a step, with which the transmission device can be hooked or engaged on the second fitting part.

[0031] The profiling facilitates the installation of the fitting and / or inhibits unwanted disassembly of the fitting.

[0032] In one embodiment of the invention, the transmission device comprises an elongated hole, preferably oriented in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part, for receiving and / or guiding at least one coupling device, if present, and / or for compensating for play, wherein it is preferably provided that the elongated hole can compensate for play in the transmission device of between 0.2 mm and 1 mm, particularly preferably between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm, and / or the elongated hole can be compensated indirectly, particularly preferably via at least one coupling device, if present, on which at least one pivot axis is arranged.

[0033] The elongated hole allows tolerances in component parts of the fitting and / or play in the movement sequences of the fitting - especially the height adjustment of the swivel element - to be compensated for.

[0034] The coupling device is particularly preferably designed as a sheet metal part arranged around at least one of the joint axes, preferably bent, wherein a pin or fastening element of the coupling device, preferably arranged orthogonally to the at least one joint axis, engages in an opening of the transmission device, preferably the elongated hole. This allows the height adjustment on the second fitting part to be transferred particularly efficiently to the articulated arm and / or the first fitting part.

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one adjusting device comprises a tool holder, a gearbox and / or at least one worm gear.

[0036] A rotational movement of at least one adjusting device can be particularly efficiently converted into a pivoting movement of the transmission device by means of at least one worm gear, whereby a translational movement of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part can be mediated by the pivoting movement of the transmission device. A gearbox allows the motion coupling between the adjusting device and the transmission device to be adapted to the requirements of the fitting.

[0037] It has proven advantageous that the at least one worm gear is arranged on the transmission device, preferably directly and / or via at least one embossing of the transmission device, wherein it is preferably provided that the transmission device can be converted into a rotational movement relative to the second fitting part by the at least one adjusting device and / or the second fitting part can be converted into a translational movement relative to the first fitting part via the transmission device.

[0038] The embossing allows for a particularly secure connection between the at least one worm gear and the transmission device, whereby in particular an actuation of the at least one adjusting device via a screwdriver or the like is translated into a parallel displacement of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part.

[0039] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the first fitting part has a mounting part with at least one fastening device by which the mounting part can be fastened to the plate of the support, and / or the first fitting part has at least one coupling part articulated to the second fitting part, which can be detachably connected to the mounting part.

[0040] The at least one fastening device ensures that the mounting part is positioned securely on or in the plate, and a dome part ensures that the first fitting part is positioned securely with the mounting part.

[0041] Particularly preferably, the second fitting part has a further fastening device with which the second fitting part can be attached to or in the pivoting element.

[0042] The fastening devices are preferably designed in a truncated cone shape, wherein a profile is preferably provided on the mounting part and / or the second fitting part at the far end of the mounting part and / or the second fitting part in order to promote a firm fit in the plate and / or the pivoting element when the fastening device is actuated.

[0043] In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the mounting part of the first fitting part has a housing, preferably pocket-shaped, wherein the coupling part in the connected state with the mounting part is received at least partially, preferably predominantly, within the housing of the mounting part, and / or comprises at least a locking device with which the coupling part can be releasably locked to the mounting part.

[0044] The mounting part facilitates the insertion and / or fixing of the first fitting part into the plate, particularly during the mounting of the fitting and / or the swivel element on the plate, whereby work steps such as attaching the first fitting part to the plate by means of the dome part are not required.

[0045] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one locking device comprises an ejection device by which the coupling part can be ejected from the housing of the mounting part at least sectionally, preferably linearly, during an unlocking process.

[0046] In other words, the coupling part can be inserted into the assembly part in a joining direction, wherein the coupling part can be actively ejected from the assembly part by the ejection device from a state coupled with the assembly part, i.e. at least sectionally in a direction opposite to the joining direction.

[0047] This facilitates the removal of the pivot element from the stationary support, particularly when two or more fittings are provided for the movable mounting of the pivot element. The risk of jamming between the mounting part and the coupling part is reduced, and the separation of the coupling part from the mounting part is made easier.

[0048] According to a preferred embodiment, the first fitting part has two further separate and / or spatially spaced adjustment devices with which the first fitting part can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the first fitting part and / or orthogonally to the longitudinal direction of the first fitting part relative to the mounting part.

[0049] Preferably, the first fitting component can be positioned relative to the plate in two, preferably orthogonal, bidirectional spatial directions or degrees of freedom, preferably transverse to an end face of the first fitting component and / or parallel to the end face of the first fitting component, via the two further adjustment devices. In other words, a coupling of the two further adjustment devices is provided, namely such that actuation of one of the further adjustment devices in a first direction of movement also leads to an adjustment of the first fitting component in a second direction of movement (and vice versa). Thus, an interlocking of the two further adjustment devices is provided, which leads to a significant reduction in the play of the first fitting component – ​​especially relative to the mounting part.

[0050] It is particularly preferred that the transmission device is designed as a rocker, preferably of a plate shape, wherein the transmission device is rotatably arranged on the second fitting part via a bearing device, wherein a rotational movement of the transmission device about the bearing device mediated via the bearing device is translated into a translational movement of the second fitting part relative to the at least one pivot axis, preferably via a coupling of the transmission device with at least one coupling device.

[0051] The features of the apparatus claims are applicable to the features of the method claims and vice versa.

[0052] Fig. 1a Figure 1 shows a piece of furniture 36 comprising a furniture carcass, a stationary support 5, and two fittings 1 for the movable mounting of a pivot element 2 in the form of a door 3, which is movably mounted on the furniture carcass relative to the stationary support 5. The door 3 can generally also be designed, for example, as an apartment door – for instance, made of wood or set in a door frame. A first fitting 6 is at least partially embedded in the stationary support 5, and the second fitting 8 is at least partially embedded in the pivot element 2.

[0053] Fig. 1b shows the fitting 1 for the movable mounting of a pivot element 2 of a door 3 or a window 4 (cf. Fig. 8a und 8b ) relative to a stationary support 5, comprising the first fitting part 6, which is designed to be attached to a horizontally oriented plate 7 of the support 5, and the second fitting part 8 for attachment to the pivoting element 2, wherein the second fitting part 8 is pivotably connected to the first fitting part 6.

[0054] The first fitting part 6 is arranged on the second fitting part 8 via two hinge levers 15. The fitting 1 comprises three hinge axes 9, which are arranged on the second fitting part 8 and are oriented orthogonally relative to a longitudinal extension 10, 11 of the first fitting part 6 and the second fitting part 8. The first hinge axis 9 is arranged on the first hinge lever 15 and the second fitting part 8, the second hinge axis 9 is arranged on the second hinge lever 15 and the second fitting part, and the third hinge axis is arranged on the second hinge lever 15 (hidden in the illustration by a socket of the second fitting part), with all three hinge axes 9 being arranged on a coupling device 16 for coupling the movement of the hinge levers 15 to an adjusting device 12. In general, however, only one hinge axis can be connected to the coupling device 16 to connect one hinge lever 15 to the second fitting part 8.

[0055] Fig. 2a Figure 1 shows that the pivot axes 9 are formed in the form of pins 17, wherein two pins 17 are provided as pivot points for a pivoting movement of the second fitting part 8 relative to the pivot levers 15, and the second fitting part 8 is guided by two pins 17 during a height adjustment of the second fitting part 8 relative to the first fitting part 6, the pivot levers 15 are arranged on the second fitting part 8 via two pins 17, and a shorter pin 17 (through the pivot lever 15) is provided to secure one of the two pivot levers 15.

[0056] The fitting 1 includes an adjustment device 12 (for constructive details of the embodiment see Fig. 3a und 3b ) for adjusting the alignment of the second fitting part 8 relative to the first fitting part 6 along the joint axes 9, wherein the second fitting part 8 is displaceable via the adjusting device 12 parallel to the joint axis 9 relative to the first fitting part 6.

[0057] The adjusting device 12 is spatially spaced from the pivot axes 9 in the direction of the longitudinal extent 11 of the second fitting part. The second fitting part 8 is cuboid in shape. The pivot axes 9 are located in the region of a first end 13 of the second fitting part 8, and the adjusting device 12 is located in the region of a second end 14 of the second fitting part 8, which is spaced in the longitudinal direction 11 of the second fitting part 8.

[0058] Fig. 2b Figure 1 shows that the first fitting 6 has a mounting part 28 with a fastening device 29 by which the mounting part 28 can be fastened to the plate 7 of the support 5. The second fitting 8 has a further fastening device 29 by which the second fitting 8 can be fastened to the pivot element 2. Profiles 37 are arranged on the fittings 6 and 8 at the ends facing away from the fastening devices 29 in order to spread the fitting 1 against the material of the pivot element 2 and the plate 7, respectively. The first fitting 6 comprises the mounting part 28 and a coupling part 30 which is pivotally connected to the second fitting 8 and can be detachably connected to the mounting part 28.

[0059] The mounting part 28 of the first fitting part 6 has a pocket-shaped housing 31, wherein the coupling part 30, when connected to the mounting part 28, is received predominantly within the housing 31 of the mounting part 28. The mounting part 28 has a locking device 32 with which the coupling part 30 can be releasably locked to the mounting part 28, wherein the locking device 32 comprises an ejection device 33 by which the coupling part 30 can be ejected section by section linearly from the housing 31 of the mounting part 28 during an unlocking action.

[0060] Fig. 3a Figure 1 shows a sectional view through the fitting 1, wherein the two joint levers 15 are arranged on the joint axes 9 and the coupling device 16 in the form of a connecting plate.

[0061] The adjusting device 12 comprises a tool holder 24 for screwdrivers, a gearbox 25, and a worm gear 26, the worm gear 26 interacting with the transmission device 18. Generally, a gearbox 25 can be omitted.

[0062] Fig. 3b Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the second fitting part, wherein a transmission device 18 is arranged in the longitudinal direction 11 of the second fitting part 8 between the adjusting device 12 and the pivot axes 9. The transmission device 18 extends over the adjusting device 12 and the pivot axes 9, although this is generally not necessary.

[0063] The transmission device 18 is designed as a plate-shaped rocker 19, wherein the transmission device 18 is rotatably mounted on the second fitting part 8 via a bearing arrangement 20, which is arranged between the joint axes 9 and the at least one adjusting device 12 and spatially spaced apart from the joint axes 9 and the adjusting device 12. A rotational movement of the transmission device 18 about the bearing arrangement 20, mediated via the bearing arrangement 20, can be converted into a translational movement of the second fitting part 8 relative to two of the three joint axes 9 (connected to the second fitting part 8) via a coupling of the transmission device 18 with the coupling device 16.

[0064] The transmission device 18 has a profile 21 as a step 22, with which the transmission device 18 can be hooked onto the second fitting part 8.

[0065] The transmission device 18 comprises an elongated hole 23 oriented in the longitudinal direction 11 of the second fitting part 8 for receiving and guiding the coupling device 16 and for compensating for play, wherein the elongated hole 23 can generally also be oriented orthogonally to the longitudinal direction 11. A play of between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm in the transmission device 18 can be compensated for by the elongated hole 23, wherein the elongated hole 23 is indirectly arranged on the pivot axes 9 of the coupling device 16 via a fastening device 38.

[0066] The worm gear 26 engages with the transmission device 18 via two indentations 27 of the transmission device 18, the worm gear 26 being partially positioned between the two indentations 27. A rotational movement of the worm gear 26, via its pitch, generates a pivoting movement of the transmission device 18, which in turn results in a translational movement of the coupling device 16 and the joint levers 15 relative to the joint axes 9. The transmission device 18 is converted into a rotational movement relative to the second fitting part 8 by the adjusting device 12, and the second fitting part 8 is converted into a translational movement relative to the first fitting part 6 via the transmission device 18.

[0067] Fig. 4 Figure 1 shows the fitting 1 in a position that allows height adjustment in the operating position of the fitting 1 both vertically upwards and downwards. Two different movement positions – initiated by the adjusting device 12 – starting from this positioning of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8 are shown in the figure 1. Figuren 5a bis 6b as changes in the height adjustment of the fitting 1. The bearing device 20 is fixedly arranged on the second fitting part 8 and enables rotation of the transmission device 18, whereby the bearing device 20 can generally also be mounted so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction 11 of the second fitting part 8 in order to be able to change a force and / or fineness transmission with respect to the adjustment device 12.

[0068] Fig. 5a Figure 1 shows the fitting 1, wherein the second fitting part 8 has been displaced relative to the first fitting part 6 and the pivot levers 15 to its maximum extent along the pivot axes 9, wherein, in the operating position of the fitting 1, the pivot element 2 is adjusted vertically to its maximum height. The operating access of the adjusting device 12 is shown.

[0069] Fig. 5b differs from Fig. 5a merely insofar as the second fitting part 8 was displaced at most in the opposite direction along the joint axes 9 by the adjusting device 12, so that the pivoting element 2 is adjusted at most downwards in the vertical direction.

[0070] Fig. 6a shows the fitting 1 according to the state of fitting 1 with regard to height adjustment after Fig. 5a The fitting is shown rotated 180 degrees in the vertical direction (around the direction of the height adjustment of the second fitting part 8). Mechanical components for transmitting the height adjustment from the adjusting device to the first fitting part 6 are visible.

[0071] Fig. 6b differs from Fig. 6a merely insofar as the fitting 1 in the Fig. 5b The positioning of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8 is shown. In comparison to Fig. 6a The transmission device 18 was pivoted around the bearing device 20 by the adjusting device 12, whereby the transmission device 18 transferred this rotation via the coupling device 16 engaging in the elongated hole 23 into a linear movement of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8.

[0072] The Figuren 7a und 7b The two extreme positions of the height adjustment of the fitting 1 and the relative positioning of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8 via the adjusting device 12 – mediated by the transmission device 18 and the coupling device 16 – are shown in perspective. The first fitting part 6 comprises two further separate and spatially spaced adjusting devices 34, with which the first fitting part 6 can be moved in the longitudinal direction 10 of the first fitting part 6 and orthogonally to the longitudinal direction 10 of the first fitting part 6 relative to the mounting part 28 or the plate 7 or the carrier 5.

[0073] A method for adjusting the height of the fitting 1 or a pivoting element 2 relative to a stationary support 5 by means of the fitting 1 can be explained as follows: By means of the adjusting device 12, the transmission device 18 is brought into a rotational movement relative to the second fitting part 8 and the second fitting part 8 is brought into a translational movement relative to the first fitting part 6 via the transmission device 18.

[0074] The transmission device 18 is designed as a plate-shaped rocker 19, wherein the transmission device 18 is rotatably arranged on the second fitting part 8 via the bearing device 20, whereby a rotational movement of the transmission device 18 about the bearing device 20 mediated via the bearing device 20 can be translated into a translational movement of the second fitting part 8 relative to one of the joint axes 9 via a coupling of the transmission device 18 with the coupling device 16.

[0075] Fig. 8a Figure 2 shows a pivoting element 2 in the form of a window 4 with a socket 35 integrated into the pivoting element 2. The material of the pivoting element 2 and the socket 35 is generally arbitrary, but in this embodiment it is a metallic material.

[0076] Fig. 8bshows an arrangement from window 4 in mounted state with a fitting 1 inserted into the socket 25, wherein the second fitting part 8 of the fitting 1 is integrated into the socket 35.
