Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fitting formed as a furniture fitting or a structural fitting, - at least two fitting parts movable relative to one another; at least one damping device for damping the relative movement of the two fitting parts with respect to each other, The damping device is supported in contact with and / or within one of the two metal fittings, and includes at least one damper casing, at least one piston displaceable within the damper casing, and a piston rod connected to the piston. a damping device; at least one actuator capable of moving a piston rod of the damping device into the damper casing when performing a damping stroke; at least one locking device for limiting or deactivating the damping capacity of the damping device, the locking device allowing the at least one actuator to be locked relative to the metal part against which and / or within which the damping device is supported; and Including, At least one of the two metal parts has a hinge pot; - the damper casing is arranged on the outer surface of the hinge pot and in a mounting position below the mounting flange of the hinge pot; Regarding metal fittings.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a piece of furniture comprising at least one fitting of the type described above.

[0003] WO 2012 / 024702 discloses a damping device for a movable furniture part, which can be arranged in the internal cavity of a hinge pot of a furniture hinge. A locking element in the form of an adjustable switch can deactivate the damping function of the damping device. Deactivating the damping function is particularly advantageous when the movable furniture part is pivotally arranged on a furniture cabinet via two or more furniture hinges, whose damping functions can be selectively activated or deactivated, thereby adapting the closing speed of the movable furniture part. A disadvantage of this structure is that the piston rod of the damping device is fixedly arranged, and the damper casing moves relative to the fixed piston rod during each damping stroke. This means that the support of the movable damper casing is relatively unstable, which leads to several difficulties from a structural standpoint.

[0004] Furniture hinges with a damping device in the form of a linear damper with a locking device that limits or deactivates the damping capacity of the damping device are disclosed, for example, in WO 2013 / 029068, WO 2022 / 157071, WO 2015 / 155579, WO 2020 / 169300 and WO 2011 / 026465. A drawback of these designs is that the structural unit of the locking device is relatively large, making the furniture hinge unsuitable for certain uses.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a fitting according to the preamble mentioned at the outset, which makes it possible to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0006] According to the invention, the above object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the respective dependent claims.

[0007] According to the present invention, the actuator is configured to be supported by the hinge pot so as to be linearly displaceable.

[0008] In this way, the metal fitting can be made more compact.

[0009] An actuator is provided for applying a force to the piston rod, the actuator being securable relative to the metal part by a locking device, and a damping device is supported against and / or within the metal part.

[0010] This has the advantage that the damper casing can be fixedly and therefore more stably attached to one of the fitting parts, and that the position of the displaceable piston rod relative to the damper casing can be locked via the movable actuator by means of the locking device. Depending on the position of the piston rod relative to the damper casing, the damping function of the damping device can be limited or essentially deactivated, since the piston rod can only perform a reduced or essentially no residual stroke.

[0011] Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the figures. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 4] FIG. [Figure 5a] FIG. 10 shows a fitting according to a second embodiment, in which the damping device and the locking device are arranged above and below each other on the same side of the fitting part. [Figure 5b] FIG. 10 shows a fitting according to a second embodiment, in which the damping device and the locking device are arranged above and below each other on the same side of the fitting part. [Figure 6a] 5a and 5b in cross section. [Figure 6b] FIG. 5B is a detailed view of the fitting according to FIGS. 5a and 5b. [Figure 7] 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b in exploded view. FIG.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows in perspective view a piece of furniture 1 comprising a furniture cabinet 2 and a movable furniture part 3 supported by a metal fitting 4 so as to be movable relative to the furniture cabinet 2 .

[0014] The fitting 4 has a first fitting part 5 for fastening to the furniture cabinet 2 and a second fitting part 6 for fastening to the movable furniture part 3. The two fitting parts 5, 6 are supported so as to be pivotable relative to each other.

[0015] In the illustrated embodiment, the two fitting parts 5, 6 are connected to one another via at least one joint lever 7a, preferably via exactly two joint levers 7a, 7b, the second joint lever 7b not being visible in FIG.

[0016] 2a shows in perspective view an embodiment of a fitting 4 in the form of a furniture hinge 4a. Two fitting parts 5, 6 are pivotally connected to one another via at least one joint lever 7a.

[0017] At least one of the two metal fitting portions 5, 6 has a hinge pot 6a.

[0018] Both of the two metal fitting parts 5, 6 may have a hinge pot 6a. Such metal fittings are already known and are used in particular for pivotally connecting two plate-like furniture parts, each of which is supported movably relative to a furniture cabinet.

[0019] The first fitting part 5 can be releasably locked to a base plate 12 which can be fixed to the furniture cabinet 2. In a first step, the base plate 12 can be fixed to the furniture cabinet 2. In a subsequent step, the first fitting part 5 can be assembled to the base plate 12 without tools. If necessary, the first fitting part 5 can be detached from the base plate 12 again without tools.

[0020] The position of the first fitting part 5 relative to the base plate 12 is adjustable by means of at least one adjustment device 8a, 8b.

[0021] In the illustrated embodiment, two adjustment devices 8a, 8b are provided, the first adjustment device 8a allowing the position of the first metal fitting part 5 in the longitudinal direction L of the base plate 12 to be adjusted, and the second adjustment device 8b allowing the inclination of the first metal fitting part 5 relative to the base plate 12 to be adjusted.

[0022] The damping device 9 damps the relative movement between the two metal parts 5, 6. The damping device 9 is configured as a linear damper and includes a damper casing 9a and a piston rod 9b that is movable relative to the damper casing 9a. The piston rod 9b extends relative to the damper casing 9a and partially projects into the internal hollow space of the hinge pot 6a.

[0023] The damper casing 9a is disposed on the outer surface of the hinge pot 6a, and is disposed below the mounting flange 13 of the hinge pot 6a in the assembled position.

[0024] According to a preferred embodiment, the hinge pot 6a can be placed inside a cylindrical hole common in furniture construction, for example a hole with a diameter of 35 mm, with the damper casing 9a located on the outer surface of the hinge pot 6a.

[0025] The piston rod 9b can be pushed into the damper casing 9a by means of a movably supported, preferably linearly displaceable, actuator 10. The actuator 10 is coupled to the relative movement of the two fitting parts 5, 6, and can exert a force by means of the joint lever 7a towards the end of the closing movement of the fitting 4, thereby moving it relative to the second fitting part 6.

[0026] The movement of the actuator 10 here allows the piston rod 9b to be pushed into the damper casing 9a, and the closing movement of the two metal parts 5, 6 relative to one another can be damped by the relative movement between the piston rod 9b and the damper casing 9a and by the resistance of the damping fluid, preferably hydraulic damping fluid, located in the damper casing 9a.

[0027] In the illustrated embodiment, a locking device 11 with a movable switch 11a is arranged in or adjacent to the second metal part 6, preferably adjacent to or within the hinge pot 6a.

[0028] The locking device 11 allows the position of the piston rod 9b to be locked relative to the fitting parts 5, 6 in and / or on which the damping device 9 is supported. In this embodiment, the locking device 11 allows the position of the piston rod 9b to be locked relative to the second fitting part 6.

[0029] The switch 11a of the locking device 11 is supported movably between at least two switching positions in a transverse direction to the longitudinal direction of the piston rod 9b. In a first switching position of the switch 11a, the damping function of the damping device 9 is activated. In a second switching position of the switch 11a, the damping function of the damping device 9 is limited or deactivated.

[0030] Optionally, the switch 11a may be pivotally supported between two or more switching positions.

[0031] Figure 2b shows the fitting 4 according to Figure 2a in another perspective view. In the embodiment shown, the damper casing 9a is arranged on a first side of the hinge pot 6a, and the locking device 11 together with the switch 11a is arranged on a second side opposite to the first side of the hinge pot 6a.

[0032] 3a shows a cross-sectional view of a second fitting part 6 in the form of a hinge pot 6a. The second fitting part 6 is connected to the first fitting part 5 via two joint levers 7a, 7b, the first joint lever 7a being connected to the second fitting part 6 via a joint shaft 19a and the second joint lever 7b being connected to the second fitting part 6 via a joint shaft 19b.

[0033] An abutment surface 23 can be seen arranged on the actuator 10, which can be coupled to the joint lever 7a during the closing movement of the fitting 4. In this way, the pivoting movement of the joint lever 7a is converted into a linear movement of the actuator 10 in the direction X of the damping stroke.

[0034] To limit or deactivate the damping capacity of the damping device 9, the switch 11a of the locking device 11 is first moved to the corresponding switching position. During the closing movement of the fitting 4, the first joint lever 7a is moved about the first joint axis 19a. This movement of the first joint lever 7a is converted into a movement of the actuator 10 in the direction X via the abutment surface 23, whereby the coupling element 17 of the actuator 10, which can be coupled to the locking device 11, is also moved in the direction X against the force of the spring element 20.

[0035] Preferably, the actuator 10, the abutment surface 23 and the coupling element 17 are arranged together to be formed as a unitary structural member.

[0036] A coupling element 18 is arranged on the switch 11a of the locking device 11, by means of which the coupling element 18 can lock the coupling element 17 of the actuator 10. Figure 3a shows the uncoupled state between the two coupling elements 17, 18.

[0037] Figure 3b shows an enlarged view of the circled area in Figure 3a. Coupling element 17 of actuator 10 has a first inclined surface 17a which cooperates with a second inclined surface 18a of coupling element 18 connected to switch 11a.

[0038] 3c shows the coupling element 17 of the actuator 10 fixed by the locking device 11. Due to the cooperation of the two inclined surfaces 17a, 18a, the switch 11a is slightly lifted in direction Y, which allows the coupling element 17 of the actuator 10 to pass further in direction X through the coupling element 18 of the switch 11a against the force of the spring element 20. After the coupling element 17 of the actuator 10 has passed through the coupling element 18 of the switch 11a, the coupling element 18 of the switch 11a snaps into position to hold the coupling element 17.

[0039] Figure 3d shows an enlarged view of the circled area in Figure 3c. The coupling element 17 of the actuator 10 cannot be advanced by the force of the biased spring element 20, as the coupling element 17 of the switch 11a blocks the movement of the actuator 10.

[0040] At the same time, this holds the piston rod 9b in a pressed position relative to the damper casing 9a, preferably via the web 24 (FIG. 4) of the actuator 10, and prevents it from advancing out of the damper casing 9a, so that the damping capacity of the damping device 9 is limited or substantially deactivated.

[0041] To disengage the coupling element 17, the switch 11a is moved to a position in which the coupling element 17 is released. After release, the coupling element 17 and thus the actuator 10 can be returned again by the force of the spring element 20.

[0042] The switch 11a may be configured for manual operation and may also have a receiving contour for a tool.

[0043] In Figure 4 a fitting 4 in the form of a furniture hinge 4a is shown in an exploded view.

[0044] According to a possible embodiment: the actuator 10 is located substantially entirely inside the hinge pot 6a, and / or the actuator 10 is supported so as to be movable relative to the hinge pot 6a, and / or the actuator 10 is arranged substantially parallel or perpendicular to the bottom 14 of the hinge pot 6a, and / or the damper casing 9a is located completely outside the hinge pot 6a, and / or the piston rod 9b extends partially into the hinge pot 6a, and / or the hinge pot 6a has a hole 28 for the piston rod 9b to pass through, and / or the damper casing 9a is arranged on a first surface of the hinge pot 6a and the locking device 11 is arranged on a second surface of the hinge pot 6a opposite to the first surface, or the damper casing 9a and the locking device 11 are arranged one above the other on the same surface of the hinge pot 6a; and / or the locking device 11 is rigidly connected to the hinge pot 6a, preferably via at least one rivet 29; It is structured as follows.

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, the metal parts 5, 6 are pivotally connected to one another via at least one joint lever 7a, 7b, preferably wherein: - at least one actuator 10 can be subjected to a force by at least one joint lever 7a, 7b; and / or - at least one actuator 10 can only be subjected to a force during the closing movement of at least one joint lever 7a, 7b; and / or at least one actuator 10 has a recess 22 in which at least one joint lever 7a, 7b or a coupling device 21 connected to the joint levers 7a, 7b engages during the closing movement of the fitting 4; and / or - at least one coupling device 21 is provided which converts the pivoting movement of at least one joint lever 7a, 7b into a linear movement of at least one actuator 10; and / or At least one joint lever 7a, 7b is connected to the first fitting part 5 via a joint shaft 30 and to the second fitting part 6 via another joint shaft 19a, 19b.

[0046] The actuator 10 has an abutment surface 23 that abuts against the coupling device 21, and the coupling device 21 and the abutment surface 23 are connected so as to be able to transmit movement to each other during the closing movement of the fitting 4. The coupling device 21 can be formed as a plastic or metal part. Alternatively, the coupling device 21 can be formed integrally with one of the joint levers 7a, 7b.

[0047] According to a possible embodiment, the actuator 10 comprises: - is substantially T-shaped or substantially L-shaped; and / or - has at least one coupling element 17 that can be releasably coupled to the locking device 11, and / or - has a web 24, preferably loosely abutting the free end of the piston rod 9b, preferably projecting laterally, and / or - movable relative to a sliding element 25, which is arranged between one of the fitting parts 5, 6 and the actuator 10 to reduce friction; It is structured as follows.

[0048] The sliding element 25 for reducing the sliding friction of the actuator 10 can have at least one protrusion 26, preferably a plurality of protrusions 26, which engage in an opening 27 of the second metal part 6 when the sliding element 25 is in an assembled state.

[0049] At least one spring element 20, preferably a compression spring, is provided for returning the at least one actuator 10. Alternatively or additionally, the damping device 9 can be configured with a return spring 33 (FIGS. 6a, 6b) for partially returning the piston rod 9b and the actuator 10.

[0050] FIG. 5a shows a fitting 4 in the form of a furniture hinge 4a according to a second embodiment, in which a damping device 9 and a locking device 11 are arranged above and below each other on the same side of a second fitting part 6 in the form of a hinge pot 6a in order to limit or deactivate the damping capacity.

[0051] The damper casing 9a is attached to the outer surface of the hinge pot 6a, and in the advanced state, the piston rod 9b passes through a hole 28 (FIG. 4) of the hinge pot 6a relative to the damper casing 9a and protrudes into the inside of the hinge pot 6a.

[0052] The damping capacity of the damping device 9 can be limited or deactivated by means of a locking device 11 which preferably comprises a switch 11a movable between at least two switching positions transverse to the longitudinal direction of the piston rod 9b.

[0053] Figure 5b shows an enlarged view of the circled area in Figure 5a. In this embodiment, the actuator 10a is substantially L-shaped and extends in a partial area in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the bottom 14 of the hinge pot 6a.

[0054] A support device 31 is provided for movably supporting the actuator 10a and / or for movably supporting the switch 11a. The support device 31 is connected to the damper casing 9a and protrudes through an opening 32 in the second fitting part 6, preferably in the hinge pot 6a.

[0055] According to a preferred embodiment, the support device 31 is formed integrally with the damper casing 9a.

[0056] The actuator 10a has at least one resiliently deflectable coupling element 17, which is releasably coupleable with the switch 11a.

[0057] Figure 6a shows a cross-sectional view of the bracket 4 according to Figures 5a and 5b. The damper casing 9a of the damping device 9 is arranged on the outer surface of the hinge pot 6a, and the free end of the piston rod 9b is supported by an L-shaped actuator 10a inside the hinge pot 6a. In this embodiment, the damping device 9 and the locking device 11 are arranged one above the other on the same surface of the hinge pot 6a.

[0058] The damping device 9 has at least one piston 15 that is displaceable within the damper casing 9a. The piston 15 may be formed as a single piece, or may be formed from multiple members.

[0059] A return spring 33 disposed within the damper casing 9a can be configured to at least partially return the piston rod 9b and the actuator 10.

[0060] The volume compensation device 34 makes it possible to compensate for the volume that the damping fluid can displace when it enters the damper casing 9a by the piston rod 9b.

[0061] The actuator 10a has a resiliently deflectable coupling element 17 that is releasably coupleable to a switch 11a of the locking device 11. Figure 6a shows the uncoupled state between the coupling element 17 and the switch 11a.

[0062] To limit or deactivate the damping capacity of the damping device 9, the switch 11a is manually moved to the corresponding switching position. During the closing movement of the fitting 4, the actuator 10a can be displaced via the other actuator 10 in a plane extending parallel to the bottom 14 of the hinge pot 6a, so that the piston rod 9b is pressed into the damper casing 9a.

[0063] Figure 6b shows a detailed view in which the coupling element 17 of the actuator 10a is locked by the switch 11a, preventing movement of the piston rod 9b in the direction against the damping stroke. Upon movement of the coupling element 17 in the direction X of the damping stroke (Figure 6a), the coupling element 17 can be displaced by the switch 11a in a direction extending relative to the bottom 14 of the hinge pot 6a.

[0064] If the coupling element 17 is moved further in the direction X, it snaps back again and the switch 11a prevents movement of the coupling element 17 in the direction opposite to the direction X. With the piston rod 9b fixed in the depressed position, the damping capacity of the damping device 9 is limited or deactivated.

[0065] By moving the switch 11a to the corresponding switching position, the piston rod 9b, the actuator 10a and the actuator 10 can be returned again by the force of the return spring 33. Instead of or in addition to the return spring 33, a spring element 20 separate from the return spring 33 can also be used.

[0066] Figure 7 shows an exploded view of the fitting 4 according to Figures 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b. In this embodiment, two actuators 10, 10a are provided, with the laterally projecting web 24 of one actuator 10 preferably loosely abutting against the part of the other actuator 10a that extends perpendicularly to the bottom 14 of the hinge pot 6a.

[0067] During the closing movement of the fitting 4, the actuator 10 is moved along the bottom 14 of the hinge pot 6a by the coupling device 21 of the joint lever 7a, as already explained in the above-mentioned embodiment. The web 24 of the actuator 10 presses against the other actuator 10a, through which the piston rod 9b can also be pushed into the damper casing 9a.

[0068] In the illustrated illustration, the piston rod 9b is located relative to the damper casing 9a in a pushed-in position, in which case the damping capacity of the damping device 9 is deactivated.

[0069] A support device 31 for movably supporting the switch 11a and for movably supporting the actuator 10a is preferably integrally connected to the damper casing 9a and protrudes through an opening 32 in the hinge pot 6a.

[0070] With regard to the other structural elements of the fitting 4, reference is made to the previously described embodiment, which can be seen better from the exploded view shown in FIG.
