Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fitting, in particular a furniture fitting, for supporting a pivoting element, in particular a furniture part, a door or a window, so that it can be moved relatively to a stationary support, a first fitting part adapted to be attached to a preferably substantially horizontally oriented plate of the support; a second fitting part for attachment to the pivot element, the second fitting part being pivotally connected to the first fitting part; at least one joint axis arranged in the second fitting part and oriented substantially perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal extension of the first fitting part and / or the longitudinal extension of the second fitting part; and at least one adjustment device for adjusting the orientation of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part along at least one joint axis, the second fitting part being slidable relative to the first fitting part parallel to the at least one joint axis via the at least one adjustment device; This relates to metal fittings that include:

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

[0003] Such a fitting is already known from EP 3289157, in which the positioning of the fitting relative to the swivel element can be changed via an eccentric screw of an adjusting device for height adjustment of the swivel element relative to the fitting, the eccentric screw being arranged on a lateral web that runs parallel to the joint axis of the fitting and perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the fitting.

[0004] The mechanism of movement of the fitting in such types of pivoting elements limits the positioning and accessibility of the adjustment device. Especially when assembling heavy pivoting elements to such fittings, it is important that the pivoting element can be easily mounted and adjusted in height relative to the fitting. Furthermore, despite the fitting's compact design, it is extremely important that it has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and that adjustment is extremely stable and comfortable. In the prior art, the orthogonally oriented webs require difficult-to-manufacture grooves in the pivoting element, which further disadvantageously require that two orthogonal spatial directions or degrees of freedom be taken into account when positioning the fitting on the pivoting element, requiring attention to even the slightest manufacturing tolerances. Furthermore, the L-shaped fittings impair the visual impression of the fitting. Furthermore, the webs reduce the strength of the pivoting element, making it more likely for the fitting to come off the pivoting element. Furthermore, the webs require the fitting to be further vertically spaced from the upper edge of the pivoting element, which must also be taken into account, especially in the case of corresponding furniture panels. Furthermore, the height adjustment is limited by the eccentric screw, which impairs the accessibility of the adjustment device, especially if the pivoting element is high.

[0005] The technical problem addressed by the present invention is therefore to provide a fitting for movably supporting a swivel element which at least partially overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art and which is improved over the prior art by virtue of its compact design, simple positioning of the swivel element, and comfortable height adjustment of the swivel element relative to the fitting.

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

[0007] Therefore, according to the invention it is envisaged that the at least one adjustment device is spatially separated from the at least one joint axis in the direction of longitudinal extension of the second fitting part.

[0008] This makes it possible, firstly, that there is no need to provide a complicated groove on or in the pivoting element for positioning the second fitting part, and that the fitting has a compact design and can be arranged near the upper and / or lower edge in the use position.

[0009] Furthermore, height adjustment of the pivoting element relative to the first fitting part (in the use position) can be comfortably performed during assembly and / or by the user of the fitting. The pivoting element has reduced breakage characteristics due to the structural configuration of the fitting, and the support plate can be flexibly adapted to the design of the pivoting element.

[0010] Furthermore, the advantageous property is that the height adjustment of the pivoting element can be carried out with reduced force by means of at least one adjusting device that is spaced apart from the at least one joint axis in the longitudinal extension of the second fitting part, and in particular that a leverage effect can be used between the at least one adjusting device and the at least one joint axis.

[0011] The translation ratio regarding the applied force and / or the accuracy of the vertical positioning of the first fitting part relative to the swivel element can be adjusted via the spacing of the at least one adjusting device relative to the at least one joint axis and / or the support point between the at least one adjusting device and the at least one joint axis.

[0012] An adjustment device in this context may be considered as an operating device of the fitting for the installer or user for height adjustment, which operating device may interact with a separate transmission component for moving the fitting part after operating the adjustment device.

[0013] As mentioned at the outset, patent protection is also sought for an assembly consisting of at least one such fitting and a frame for arranging a second fitting part inside the frame at least in a predetermined area.

[0014] As stated at the outset, patent protection is also sought for furniture comprising a stationary support and at least one such fitting and / or such assembly for supporting a swivel element, in particular a furniture part, door or window, so that it can be moved relatively to the stationary support, wherein a first fitting part is attached to the stationary support at least in a predetermined area, and a second fitting part is attached to the swivel element, preferably a frame integrated into the swivel element, at least in a predetermined area.

[0015] As stated at the outset, patent protection is also sought for a method for adjusting the height of such a fitting, in particular a swivel element, relative to a stationary support of such furniture, by means of such a fitting, in which at least one adjustment device causes a transmission device to move in rotation relative to a second fitting part and causes the second fitting part, via the transmission device, to move in translation relative to the first fitting part.

[0016] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0017] According to an advantageous configuration of the invention, it is provided that the second fitting part is substantially cuboid in shape, and preferably at least one joint axis is arranged in the region of a first end of the second fitting part, and at least one adjusting device is arranged in the region of a second end of the second fitting part, spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part.

[0018] The second fitting part may have a damping device, which is integrated into the second fitting part and / or the first fitting part, for example as a vibration absorber.

[0019] Advantageously, it is envisaged that the first fitting part is arranged on the second fitting part via at least one joint lever, preferably at least one joint lever being arranged on at least one of the at least one joint axis, preferably via at least one coupling device, particularly preferably via a connecting lamella.

[0020] At least one coupling device can have the dual function of coupling at least one joint lever to the second fitting part and guiding or mediating the transmission of height adjustment of the swivel element to the first fitting part in the at least one adjustment device.

[0021] It is shown to be advantageous if at least one joint axis is formed in the form of at least one pin, preferably exactly two pins, and preferably the second fitting part and / or the at least one coupling device can be guided by the at least one pin during movement of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part, and / or the at least one joint lever is arranged on the second fitting part via the at least one pin, and / or a further pin is provided for fixing the at least one joint lever.

[0022] The use of pins ensures particularly good translational movement for parallel height adjustment without undesired pivoting movements.

[0023] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a transmission device is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part between the at least one adjustment device and the at least one joint shaft.

[0024] Via the transmission device, the adjustment of the at least one adjustment device can be transmitted particularly well to the coupling device and / or the first fitting part. For example, the at least one adjustment device can cause a rotational movement of the transmission device relative to the second fitting part and / or a translational movement of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part via the transmission device. For example, the transmission device can include a receiver for the coupling device, which receiver is arranged on the at least one joint shaft and couples the movement between the transmission device and the coupling device guided by the at least one joint shaft.

[0025] It has been shown to be advantageous that the transmission device is preferably configured as a plate-shaped rocker lever, and that the transmission device is preferably arranged between the at least one joint shaft and the at least one adjusting device and / or is arranged rotatably on the second fitting part via a bearing device that is preferably arranged between the at least one joint shaft and the at least one adjusting device and / or is spatially separated from the at least one joint shaft and / or the at least one adjusting device, and that a rotational movement of the transmission device about the bearing device, preferably carried out via the bearing device, can be converted into a translational movement of the second fitting part relative to the at least one joint shaft, particularly preferably via a connection of the transmission device with at least one coupling device, if present.

[0026] The rocker lever preferably rotates / oscillates about a bearing point between the adjustment device and the coupling device and / or in a plane defined by the longitudinal extension of the second fitting part and the orientation of at least one joint axis.

[0027] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one bearing device is supported on the second fitting part so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the second fitting part.

[0028] This allows for adaptable variations in the height adjustment: on the one hand, the force exerted on the relative positioning between the swivel element and the first fitting part, and on the other hand, the degree of freedom in the relative positioning.

[0029] It is particularly preferred that the transmission device has a shaped portion, preferably formed as a step, by which the transmission device can be or is fixed to the second fitting part.

[0030] The moldings may facilitate assembly of the fitting and / or prevent unwanted removal of the fitting.

[0031] In an embodiment of the invention, the transmission device preferably has a longitudinally oriented slot in the second fitting part for accommodating and / or guiding at least one possibly present coupling device and / or for compensating for play, preferably by means of which a play in the transmission device of 0.2 mm to 1 mm, particularly preferably 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm, can be compensated for, and / or the slot is arranged indirectly on at least one joint axis, particularly preferably via at least one possibly present coupling device.

[0032] The slots make it possible to compensate for manufacturing tolerances in the components of the fitting and / or play in the movement sequence of the fitting, in particular in the height adjustment of the swivel element.

[0033] Particularly preferably, the coupling device is configured as a preferably bent sheet metal arranged around at least one of the joint axes, and pins or mounting elements of the coupling device, arranged preferably perpendicular to the at least one joint axis, engage in openings, preferably slots, of the transmission device, so that the height adjustment of the second fitting part can be transmitted particularly well to the joint arm and / or the first fitting part.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is envisaged that the at least one adjustment device comprises a tool receiving portion, a transmission and / or at least one worm gear.

[0035] By means of the at least one worm gear, the rotational movement of the at least one adjusting device can be transferred particularly well to the pivoting movement of the transmission device, and the translational movement of the second fitting part relative to the first fitting part can be effected by the pivoting movement of the transmission device. Via the transmission device, the movement linkage between the adjusting device and the transmission device can be adapted to the fitting as required.

[0036] It is advantageously indicated that the at least one worm gear is arranged on the transmission device, preferably directly and / or via at least one embossment of the transmission device, and that preferably the transmission device can be rotated relative to the second metal part by means of at least one adjustment device, and / or the second metal part can be translated relative to the first metal part via the transmission device.

[0037] The embossed portion allows a particularly secure connection to be formed between the at least one worm gear and the transmission device, and operation of the at least one adjusting device, in particular by a screwdriver or the like, is converted into a parallel sliding movement of the second metal part relative to the first metal part.

[0038] It is furthermore preferably envisaged that the first fitting part has an assembly part with at least one attachment device by means of which the assembly part can be attached to a plate of the support, and / or that the first fitting part has at least one connecting part pivotally connected to the second fitting part, which connecting part can be removably connected to the assembly part.

[0039] At least one mounting device can ensure fixed positioning of the mounting part on or in the plate, and the connecting part can provide a secure positional positioning of the first metal fitting part with the mounting part.

[0040] Particularly preferably, the second fitting part has a further mounting device by means of which the second fitting part can be mounted on or in the pivot element.

[0041] The mounting device is preferably formed in a frusto-conical shape and preferably has a shaping on the assembly part and / or the second fitting part at the opposite end of the assembly part and / or the second fitting part, which promotes a firm attachment of the plate and / or the swivel element when the mounting device is operated.

[0042] In a further embodiment, it may be envisaged that the assembly part of the first fitting part preferably has a pocket-like casing, and that the connecting part, in the connected state with the assembly part, is housed inside the casing of the assembly part, at least in a predetermined area, preferably in most part, and / or includes at least one locking device with which the connecting part can be releasably locked to the assembly part.

[0043] The assembly part facilitates the introduction and / or fixing of the first fitting part to the plate, in particular during the assembly of the fitting and / or the pivoting element of the plate, without the need for work steps such as attaching the first fitting part to the plate by means of the connecting part.

[0044] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that at least one locking device has an ejection device which, during the unlocking process, can at least partially push the connecting part out of the casing of the assembly part, preferably linearly.

[0045] In other words, the connecting part can be pushed into the assembly part in the joining direction, and in this case, from its connected state to the assembly part, the connecting part can be actively pushed out of the assembly part by the ejection device, i.e. at least partially in the opposite direction to the joining direction.

[0046] This facilitates the removal of the pivoting element from the stationary support, particularly when two or more brackets are provided for the movable support of the pivoting element, as the risk of jamming between the assembly part and the connecting part is reduced and separation of the connecting part from the assembly part is facilitated.

[0047] According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the first fitting part has two separate and / or spatially separated adjusting devices by means of which the first fitting part is movable relative to the assembly part in the longitudinal direction of the first fitting part and / or in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first fitting part.

[0048] Preferably, the first fitting part can be positioned relative to the plate via two further adjusting devices, preferably in both orthogonal spatial directions or degrees of freedom, preferably transverse to and / or parallel to the end face of the first fitting part. In other words, the two further adjusting devices are coupled in such a way that operating one of the further adjusting devices in a first direction of movement also results in adjustment of the first fitting part in a second direction of movement, preferably vice versa. A reduction of the two further adjusting devices is thus provided, which significantly reduces the play of the first fitting part—especially relative to the mounting part.

[0049] It is particularly preferred that the transmission device is configured as a preferably plate-shaped rocker lever, that the transmission device is rotatably arranged on the second fitting part via a bearing device, and that the rotational movement of the transmission device about the bearing device via the bearing device is converted into a translational movement of the second fitting part relative to at least one joint axis, preferably via a connection of the transmission device with at least one coupling device.

[0050] The features of the apparatus claims are also applicable to the features of the method claims, and vice versa. Further details and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the description of the drawings referring to the illustrated embodiments.

[0052] FIG. 1a shows a piece of furniture 36 with two fittings 1 as furniture fittings for movably supporting a swiveling element 2 in the form of a furniture cabinet, a stationary support 5, and a door 3 movably supported on the furniture cabinet relative to the stationary support 5. However, the door 3 may generally be formed, for example, of wood or surrounded by a door frame and, for example, as a residential door. The first fitting part 6 is attached to the stationary support 5 at least in a predetermined area, and the second fitting part 8 is attached to the swiveling element 2 at least in a predetermined area.

[0053] FIG. 1b shows a fitting 1 for movably supporting a swiveling element 2 of a door 3 or a window 4 (see FIGS. 8a and 8b) relative to a stationary support 5. The fitting includes a first fitting part 6 formed to be attached to a horizontally oriented plate 7 of the support 5 and a second fitting part 8 for attaching the swiveling element 2. In this case, the second fitting part 8 is pivotally connected to the first fitting part 6.

[0054] The first fitting part 6 is arranged on the second fitting part 8 via two joint levers 15. The fitting 1 includes three joint axes 9 arranged on the second fitting part 8, which are oriented perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal extension 10 of the first fitting part 6 and the longitudinal extension 11 of the second fitting part 8. The first joint axis 9 is arranged on the first joint lever 15 and the second fitting part 8, the second joint axis 9 is arranged on the second joint lever 15 and the second fitting part, and the third joint axis is arranged on the second joint lever 15 (hidden in the drawings by the frame of the second fitting part), and all three joint axes 9 are arranged on a coupling device 16 for movingly connecting the joint levers 15 to the adjusting device 12. However, in general, only one joint axis may be connected to the coupling device 16 for connecting one joint lever 15 to the second fitting part 8.

[0055] FIG. 2a shows that the joint axis 9 is formed in the form of a pin 17, in which two pins 17 are provided as rotation points for the pivoting movement of the second fitting part 8 relative to the joint lever 15, the second fitting part 8 being guided by the two pins 17 during the adjustment of its height relative to the first fitting part 6, the joint lever 15 being arranged on the second fitting part 8 via the two pins 17, and one relatively short pin 17 (through the joint lever 15) being provided for fixing one of the two joint levers 15.

[0056] The fitting 1 comprises an adjustment device 12 (see Figures 3a and 3b for structural details of the embodiment) for adjusting the orientation of the second fitting part 8 relative to the first fitting part 6 along the joint axis 9, and the second fitting part 8 is slidable relative to the first fitting part 6 parallel to the joint axis 9 via the adjustment device 12.

[0057] The adjusting device 12 is spatially spaced from the joint axis 9 in the direction of the longitudinal extension 11 of the second fitting part 8. The second fitting part 8 is shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped. The joint axis 9 is arranged in the region of a first end 13 of the second fitting part 8, and the adjusting device 12 is arranged in the region of a second end 14 of the second fitting part 8, which is spaced apart in the longitudinal extension 11 of the second fitting part 8.

[0058] 2b shows that the first fitting part 6 has an assembly part 28 with a mounting device 29, by means of which the assembly part 28 can be attached to the plate 7 of the support 5. The second fitting part 8 has another mounting device 29, by means of which the second fitting part 8 can be attached to the pivot element 2. At the end opposite the mounting device 29, the fitting parts 6, 8 have a shaping 37 arranged, which spreads the fitting 1 against the material of the pivot element 2 or the plate 7. The first fitting part 6 comprises the assembly part 28 and a connecting part 30, which is pivotally connected to the second fitting part 8 and which is detachably connectable to the assembly part 28.

[0059] The assembly part 28 of the first fitting part 6 has a pocket-like casing 31, and the connecting part 30 is accommodated for the most part inside the casing 31 of the assembly part 28 when connected to the assembly part 28. The assembly part 28 has a locking device 32 that can releasably lock the connecting part 30 to the assembly part 28, and the locking device 32 includes an ejection device 33 that can partially linearly push the connecting part 30 out of the casing 31 of the assembly part 28 during the unlocking process.

[0060] FIG. 3a shows a cross section of the fitting 1, in which both joint levers 15 are arranged on the joint shaft 9 and on a connecting device 16 in the form of a connecting lamella.

[0061] The adjusting device 12 has a tool receptacle 24 for a driver, a transmission 25 and a worm gear 26, where the worm gear 26 interacts with the transmission device 18. Generally, the transmission 25 may be omitted.

[0062] 3b shows an exploded view of the second fitting part 8, in which a transmission device 18 is arranged in the longitudinal direction 11 of the second fitting part 8 between the adjustment device 12 and the joint shaft 9. The transmission device 18 extends between the adjustment device 12 and the joint shaft 9, although this is generally not necessary.

[0063] The transmission device 18 is configured as a plate-shaped rocker lever 19, which is arranged between the joint shaft 9 and the at least one adjusting device 12 and is rotatably arranged on the second fitting part 8 via a bearing device 20 that is spatially separated from the joint shaft 9 and the adjusting device 12. The rotational movement of the transmission device 18 about the bearing device 20 via the bearing device 20 can be converted into a translational movement of the second fitting part 8 relative to two of the three joint shafts 9 (connected to the second fitting part 8) via the connection of the transmission device 18 with the coupling device 16.

[0064] The transmission device 18 has a shaped portion 21 as a step 22 by which the transmission device 18 can be fixed to the second fitting part 8 .

[0065] The transmission device 18 has 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, and the elongated hole 23 may generally be oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 11. The elongated hole 23 makes it possible to compensate for play of 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm in the transmission device 18, and the elongated hole 23 is indirectly arranged on the joint shaft 9 via the mounting device 38 of the coupling device 16.

[0066] The worm gear 26 engages with the transmission device 18 via two embossed portions 27 of the transmission device 18, and the worm gear 26 is arranged in a predetermined area between the two embossed portions 27. Via the pitch of the worm gear 26, the rotational movement of the worm gear 26 generates a pivoting movement of the transmission device 18, which in turn generates a translational movement of the coupling device 16 and the joint lever 15 relative to the joint axis 9. The transmission device 18 is rotated relative to the second metal part 8 by the adjusting device 12, and the second metal part 8 is translated relative to the first metal part 6 via the transmission device 18.

[0067] 4 shows the fitting 1 in a position that allows vertical height adjustment of the fitting 1 in its use position, both vertically upwards and downwards. Starting from this positioning of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8, two different movement positions—initiated by the adjustment device 12—are shown in FIGS. 5a to 6b as modified height adjustments of the fitting 1. The bearing device 20 is fixedly arranged on the second fitting part 8 and allows rotation of the transmission device 18; typically, the bearing device 20 may be supported on the second fitting part 8 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction 11 of the second fitting part 8 as well, so that the force transmission ratio and / or precision translation can be changed with respect to the adjustment device 12.

[0068] 5a shows the fitting 1 with the second fitting part 8 slid along the joint axis 9 relative to the first fitting part 6 and the joint lever 15 to the maximum extent, and with the fitting 1 in the use position on the swivel element 2, the swivel element 2 adjusted vertically to the maximum extent in height. Access for operating the adjustment device 12 is clear.

[0069] In contrast, Figure 5b differs from Figure 5a only in that the second fitting part 8 is slid in the opposite direction along the joint axis 9 to the maximum extent by the adjusting device 12, whereby the swivel element 2 is adjusted vertically downwards in height to the maximum extent.

[0070] Figure 6a shows the fitting 1 in the position for height adjustment of Figure 5a, where the fitting is shown rotated 180 degrees vertically (about the direction of height adjustment of the second fitting part 8). The mechanical components of the transmission of height adjustment from the adjustment device to the first fitting part 6 are now apparent.

[0071] Figure 6b differs from Figure 6a only in that the fitting 1 is in the position shown in Figure 5b of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8. In comparison to Figure 6a, the transmission device 18 has been pivoted about the bearing device 20 by the adjustment device 12, and the transmission device 18 converts this rotation into a linear movement of the first fitting part 6 relative to the second fitting part 8 via the coupling device 16 which engages in the elongated hole 23.

[0072] 7a and 7b show in perspective views the extreme positions of the height adjustment of the fitting 1 or the relative positioning of the first fitting part 6 with respect to the second fitting part 8, which is effected by the adjusting device 12—via the transmission device 18 and the coupling device 16. The first fitting part 6 has two further adjusting devices 34, separate and spatially separated from one another, by means of which the first fitting part 6 is movable in the longitudinal direction 10 of the first fitting part 6 and perpendicularly thereto, relative to the mounting part 28 or relative to the plate 7 or the support 5.

[0073] The method for adjusting the height of the fitting 1 or the swivel element 2 relative to the stationary support 5 by means of the fitting 1 can be described as follows: by means of the adjustment device 12, the transmission device 18 is caused to move in rotation relative to the second fitting part 8, and the second fitting part 8 is caused to move in translation relative to the first fitting part 6 via the transmission device 18.

[0074] The transmission device 18 is formed as a plate-shaped rocker lever 19, and is rotatably arranged on the second metal part 8 via a bearing device 20, so that the rotational movement of the transmission device 18 around the bearing device 20 via the bearing device 20 can be converted into a translational movement of the second metal part 8 relative to one of the joint axes 9 via the connection of the transmission device 18 with the coupling device 16.

[0075] Figure 8a shows a pivoting element 2 in the form of a window 4 with a frame 35 integrated into the pivoting element 2. The material of the pivoting element 2 and the frame 35 is generally arbitrary, but in this example they are present as metallic materials.

[0076] FIG. 8b shows the assembly of the window 4 in the assembled state and the fitting 1 mounted on the frame 25, in which the second fitting part 8 of the fitting 1 is integrated into the frame 35.
