Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The invention relates to a device for moving at least one cover element according to the preamble features of claim 1 .

[0002] The invention further relates to furniture and furniture parts equipped with a device of this type.

[0003] Devices of this type, which have the task of guiding and stabilizing cover elements, such as sliding doors or folding sliding doors, are already known from the prior art.

[0004] Thus, for example, AU Patent Application Publication No. 524607 shows a device for guiding a movable furniture part or covering element, in which, in addition to the guiding device, a separate, additional guiding mechanism is provided which ensures direct guiding of the covering element onto the stationary furniture part.

[0005] The disadvantage of this solution is that the additional guide mechanism requires the cover element to be connected to the guide mechanism and thus to the furniture part, and this connection can lead to errors or problems, such as pinching and / or vibration.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved device compared to the prior art, which avoids functional errors and ensures stable guidance of the cover element.

[0007] This problem is solved by the features of claims 1, 15 and 16, which describe a device, a piece of furniture with the device and a piece of furniture with the device.

[0008] The improved device according to the invention is a device for moving at least one covering element, preferably a door or folding door, relative to a stationary furniture part, which furniture part has at least one hollow space, preferably shaft-shaped, for accommodating the covering element and at least one inner space that can be at least partially covered by the covering element, the device has at least one guide device for translating the covering element within the hollow space, at least one support movable along the guide device, and at least one swivel device, wherein the covering element can be supported on the support by the swivel device so as to be swivellable about a swivel axis parallel to the support, the device has at least one stabilizing device by means of which the covering element can be held at a predetermined distance from the guide device and / or from a wall of the stationary furniture part that defines the hollow space when moving along the guide device, characterized in that the stabilizing device has at least one connecting element that can be connected to the covering element in all positions of the covering element.

[0009] A first major advantage of the present invention is that there is a permanent connection between the cover element and the furniture part, which ensures for the first time that no connecting or disconnecting processes take place and therefore that no malfunctions can occur during the connection.

[0010] That is to say, furthermore, there is a connection between the covering element and the furniture part at all times and in all positions of the covering element relative to the furniture part.

[0011] A further advantage of the present invention is that, due to the consistent connection provided by the stabilizing device, the distance between the covering element and the furniture part, in particular the distance between the covering element and the wall adjacent to the cavity of the furniture part, in particular together with the support on which the covering element is arranged, can be kept constant when the covering element moves along the at least one guide device.

[0012] This means that the invention makes it possible to stabilize the cover element, in which case this stabilization in particular prevents tilting of the cover element, and in particular in this case means that the cover element is stabilized by the stabilizing device in the fully inserted position of the cover element in the hollow space, preferably in the front region or the region facing outward of the cover element.

[0013] In other words, the cover element is stabilized and guided during movement between a fully inserted position of the cover element in the hollow chamber and a closed position in which the cover element at least partially covers the interior of the furniture part.

[0014] Due to its partial guiding function, the stabilizing device can also be regarded as a kind of second guiding device, in which case the stabilizing device guides the cover element both during translational and rotational movements.

[0015] The cover element is held at a predetermined distance from the guide device and / or from the furniture part and / or from the wall of the cavity of the furniture part, in particular during translational movement along the guide device, which distance may result from the geometry and / or embodiment of the stabilizing device.

[0016] An advantageous direct result of the present invention is a consistently accurate and stable connection and guiding of the cover elements, which in turn allows for a component-friendly use with little component wear and a comfortable, friction-free operation of the device by the user.

[0017] The device according to the invention can be used by introduction or retrofitting into already known embodiments of the prior art, such as those described in the introduction.

[0057] 1 and 2 show a view of a first embodiment of the device 1 in an intermediate position 25 of the cover element 2, with Fig. 1 additionally showing a detailed view of the connection point of the swivel device 8 on the support 7. The stabilizing device 10 is not visible in this view as it is covered by the cover element 2.

[0058] 1 shows, inter alia, components belonging to the general prior art: a furniture part 3 with at least one cavity 4, preferably shaft-shaped, for accommodating a covering element 2, preferably a door or folding door, and at least one interior space 5 that can be at least partially covered by the covering element 2, a guide device 6 for translating the covering element 2 in the cavity 4, a support 7 movable along the guide device 6, and two swivel devices 8, by means of which the covering element 2 is supported on the support 7 so that it can be swiveled about a swivel axis 9.

[0059] Figures 3 and 4 show a view of a first embodiment of the device 1 with the cover element 2 in the closed position 26, in which the stabilizing device 10 is also visible, which includes a connecting element 12 that is connected to the cover element 2 in all positions of the cover element 2.

[0060] FIG. 4 shows in particular the cavity guide 13 attached to the wall 14 of the shaft-shaped cavity 4 , the cover element guide 17 attached to the cover element 2 , and the connecting element 12 .

[0061] 5 and 6 show views of a first embodiment of a stabilizing device 10 , which comprises a cavity guide 13 , a cover element guide 17 and a connecting element 12 .

[0062] In this first embodiment of the stabilizing device 10, the cover element guide 17 has a cover element guide stop 18, which can limit the relative movement of the connecting element 12 with respect to the cover element guide 17.

[0063] FIG. 6 shows the cavity guide 13, the cover element guide 17 and the connecting element 12 exploded and separated from one another, so that the other component elements of the stabilizing device 10 are also visible.

[0064] In this embodiment, the connecting element 12 has two connecting element stops 16, in which case a force accumulator 24 in the form of a spring, in particular a compression spring, is arranged which surrounds the connecting element 12.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connecting element 12 consists of two connecting element parts 20 connected to each other by a joint 21 .

[0066] In this embodiment, one of the two connecting element portions 20 is a spacer element 22 formed to maintain a predetermined distance 11 between the cover element 2 and the guide device 6 constant at least as the cover element 2 moves along the guide device 6.

[0067] In this embodiment, two sliding elements 19 in the form of rolling bodies, preferably running wheels, are arranged on one of the connecting element parts 20, in particular on the spacer element 22, and these sliding elements are configured so as to be guided and moved along the cover element guide 17.

[0068] Figures 7 to 13 show horizontal cross-sectional views of the movement sequence of a first embodiment of the device 1 or a first embodiment of the stabilizing device 10. In this case, Figure 7 shows the device 1 as a whole, and Figures 8 to 13 show detailed views of the movement sequence of the stabilizing device 10.

[0069] 8 to 13, it can also be seen that the cavity guide 13 has a cavity guide stop 15, which can limit the relative movement of the connecting element 12 with respect to the cavity guide 13 and / or can serve as a support for the energy accumulator 24, in particular by means of which the energy accumulator 24 can store energy.

[0070] The energy accumulator 24 or spring generally can support the relative movement, in particular translational movement, of the connecting element 12 with respect to the cavity guide 13 and / or the cover element guide 17 .

[0071] In FIG. 8 the cover element 2 is in the closed position 26 , in which case it is located completely outside the cavity 4 and at least partially covers the interior space 5 of the furniture part 3 .

[0072] In the closed position 26, the energy accumulator 24 or spring is in a relaxed or relatively lightly tensioned state.

[0073] In this embodiment, the energy accumulator 24 is slightly preloaded in the closed position 26, so that the energy accumulator 24 has a closing function for keeping the cover element 2 tightly closed in the closed position 26.

[0074] In FIG. 9, the cover element 2 is in an intermediate position 25 , in which case the cover element 2 pivots about the pivot axis 9 and / or rotates about the joint 21 .

[0075] In this embodiment, the energy accumulator 24 is preloaded relatively strongly in this intermediate position 25, so that the energy accumulator 24 has a restoring effect on the cover element 2 in the direction of the fully inserted position 27 of the cover element 2.

[0076] In Figure 10, the cover element 2 is in an intermediate position 25, in which case the cover element 2 has been pivoted 90° from the closed position 26 about the pivot axis 9 and / or rotated about the joint 21 so that the cover element 2 is oriented substantially parallel to the wall 14 of the furniture part 3 or cavity 4.

[0077] Since the connecting device 12, in particular the spacer element 22 and / or at least one sliding element 19 of the connecting device 12, contacts the cover element guide stop 18 in this intermediate position 25, the cover element 2 is also held by the stabilizing device 10 and / or remains connected and / or translational movement out of the hollow space 4 can be prevented.

[0078] In this embodiment of the stabilizing device 10, the spacer element 22 of the connecting element 12 abuts against the connecting element stop 16, so that rotation of the spacer element 22 about the joint 21 is limited.

[0079] It is also conceivable that at least one additional support element 23 is provided, in particular instead of at least one connecting element stop 16. In this regard, see Figures 14 to 17, in which such a support element 23 is shown.

[0080] In this intermediate position 25, the cavity guide stop 15 of the cavity guide 13 and the connecting element stop 16 of the connecting element 12, which is located closer to the cover element 2, are in contact with each other, so that translational movement of the connecting element 12 along the cavity guide 13 no longer takes place and / or the energy accumulator 24 is relaxed or only relatively slightly tensioned.

[0081] 10 to 13 show the predetermined spacing 11 of the cover element 2 relative to the guide device 6 and / or relative to a wall 14 of the furniture part 3 adjacent to the cavity 4. In FIG.

[0082] FIG. 11 shows an intermediate position 25 in which the connecting element 12 is essentially at rest and the cover element 2 moves further into the cavity 4 in the direction of the fully inserted position 27, guided by the stabilizing device 10.

[0083] When the cover element 2 moves towards the fully inserted position 27 , the cover element 2 slides along the connecting element 12 by means of the cover element guide 17 , in particular along the spacer element 22 and / or at least one sliding element 19 .

[0084] FIG. 12 shows an intermediate position 25 in which the cover element 2 is still positioned in the cavity 4 closer to the fully inserted position 27 .

[0085] Figure 13 shows essentially the complete insertion position 27 of the cover element 2, with the stabilization of the cover element 2 by the stabilizing device 10 preferably being stabilized in the front or outwardly directed region of the cover element 2.

[0086] Throughout the movement sequence of the cover element 2, the energy accumulator 24 may have a damping function for damping the movement of the cover element 2 and / or the connecting element 12.

[0087] It is also conceivable that the energy accumulator 24 has a stabilizing function for stabilizing the cover element 2 in the intermediate position 25 .

[0088] 14 to 17 show horizontal cross-sectional views of the movement sequence of a second embodiment of the device 1 or a second embodiment of the stabilizing device 10. In FIG.

[0089] This movement sequence substantially corresponds to the movement steps of the first embodiment of the stabilization device 10 shown in FIGS.

[0090] In this embodiment, however, the stabilizing device 10 has an additional support element 23 arranged in particular in the cavity guide 13, which support element limits the rotational movement of the spacer element 22 about the joint 21.

[0091] The stabilizing device 10 and / or the support element 23 are preferably configured in such a way that the predetermined distance 11 between the cover element 2 and the guide device 6 remains constant when the cover element 2 moves along the guide device 6 .

[0092] As already mentioned in the position shown in FIG. 13, in the position shown in FIG. 14 the stabilization of the cover element 2 by the stabilizing device 10 preferably takes place in the front or outwardly directed region of the cover element 2.

[0093] 18 to 20 show views of a second embodiment of the device 1 with the cover element 2 in the closed position 26. In FIG.

[0094] In this second embodiment, the stabilising device 10 is arranged substantially in the middle and / or in the upper half of the furniture part 3 and / or of the covering element 2, in particular in the wall 14 of the cavity 4.

[0095] In particular in the case of large cover elements 2, arranging the stabilizing device 10 in the upper region can be beneficial in order to counteract tilting moments of the cover element 2 and / or the support 7.

[0096] It is also conceivable to arrange several stabilising devices 10 on the furniture part 3 .

[0097] The second embodiment of the device 1 comprises several additional elements compared to the first embodiment.

[0098] In particular, Figure 20 shows, in addition to the stabilizing device 10, four guide devices 6 attached to the side edges of the cavity 4 and a further compensating device 28 for compensating for the tilting moment of the support 7 or the tilting moment of the cover element 2 arranged on the support 7.

[0099] The compensation device 28 may comprise at least one cable puller and / or a pivoting lever mechanism.

[0100] 21 to 26 show views of a third embodiment of a stabilizing device 10 , which comprises a cavity guide 13 , a cover element guide 17 and a connecting element 12 .

[0101] In this case, FIG. 22 shows, inter alia, a substantially one-piece connecting element 12 which, unlike the first two embodiments of the stabilizing device 10, has a curved end 29 which is located closer to the cover element 2.

[0102] The curved ends 29 of the connecting elements 12 are preferably formed to correspond to the predetermined spacing 11 .

[0103] The connecting element 12 of this embodiment of the stabilizing device 10 has a connecting element stop 16 which serves in particular as a receiver for the energy accumulator 24 .

[0104] The energy accumulator 24 is arranged in this example adjacent to the connecting element 12 between the end of the cavity guide 13 which acts as a support and the connecting element stop 16 .

[0105] The arrangement of the energy accumulator 24 therefore differs in this third embodiment from the first two embodiments of the stabilizing device 10 , in which the energy accumulator 24 at least partially surrounds the connecting element 12 .

[0106] 22 also includes a detailed view of both ends of the cover element guide 17, in this case one end having a cover element guide stop 18.

[0107] One end of the cover element guide 17 has in this embodiment an opening 30 through which the connecting element 12 can be introduced.

[0108] Furthermore, FIG. 23 shows a cavity guide stop 15 of the cavity guide 13, which can serve as a limit for the movement of the connecting element 12 and / or as a receiver for the energy accumulator 24.

[0109] 27-33 show the movement sequence of the second embodiment of the device 1 or the third embodiment of the stabilization device 10 having curved ends 29. FIG.

[0110] FIG. 27 shows the closed position 26 of the cover element 2, in which the cover element 2 is located completely outside the cavity 4.

[0111] Figure 28 shows an intermediate position 25 in which the cover element 2 is pivoted about the pivot axis 9 and / or rotated about the curved end 29 and / or about the sliding element 19.

[0112] In the position shown in FIG. 28, the curved end 29 of the connecting element 12 and / or the at least one sliding element 19 are in contact with the cover element guide stop 18 of the cover element guide 17 .

[0113] FIG. 29 shows another intermediate position 25 in which the covering element 2 is oriented parallel to the wall 14 of the furniture part 3 .

[0114] 30 to 32 show two further intermediate positions 25 in which the cover element 2 is translated within the cavity 4 in the direction of the fully inserted position 27 of the cover element 2 .

[0115] In this case, in the position shown in FIG. 30, the connecting element 12 advances translationally into the cavity 4 in the direction of the fully inserted position 27 .

[0116] In Figures 31 and 32, the connecting element 12 is in the furthest possible position abutting against the cavity guide 13, so that only the cover element 2 continues to move into the cavity 4, the cover element guide 17 being guided by at least one sliding element 19 and / or curved end 29.

[0117] In the position shown in Figure 33, the cover element 2 is in a substantially full insertion position 27 inside the cavity 4, and the stabilization of the cover element 2 by the stabilizing device 10 is preferably in the front region or the region facing outward of the cover element 2.
