Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a 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, the fitting comprising: 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 pivoting element, the second fitting part being pivotally connected to the first fitting part via at least one joint lever; Contains the first fitting part has at least one base body and at least one support body adjustable relative to the base body, the support body supporting at least one joint lever; The metal fittings further include: a first adjustment device by which the at least one support body can be adjusted relative to the base body in a first adjustment direction, preferably perpendicular to an end face of the first fitting part; at least one second adjustment device by which the at least one support body can be adjusted relative to the base body in a second adjustment direction perpendicular to the first adjustment direction, preferably parallel to the end face of the first fitting part; This relates to metal fittings, including:

[0002] WO 2016 / 174071 discloses a furniture hinge for pivotally supporting a furniture door, in which the cabinet-side hardware part is configured to be received in a horizontally extending furniture board of the furniture cabinet. Two adjustment devices are arranged on the cabinet-side hardware part, by means of which the support body can be adjusted in the depth direction and the side direction relative to the outer casing. Another adjustment device is provided on the door-side hardware part, by which the furniture door can be adjusted in the height direction.

[0003] WO 2020 / 212086 shows a similar furniture hinge with a fitting part that can be integrated into a furniture board, the fitting part on the cabinet side being provided with a first adjustment device for depth adjustment and a second adjustment device for lateral adjustment.

[0004] Korean Patent Publication No. 101458549 discloses a support device for a pivotable door, in which the hinge pin of the door can be connected to a recess in the pivot part. The pivot part is supported so that it can rotate relative to a base to be attached to its bottom surface. Two side pins are provided to adjust the position of the door. Now, when the first of the side pins is rotated, adjustment also occurs on the other side—based on the pivotable support of the pivot part. The adjustment directions caused by the side pins extend parallel to each other.

[0005] WO 2020 / 006587 discloses a furniture fitting for movably supporting a pivoting element in the form of a furniture door, in which a cabinet-side fitting for attachment to a stationary support has an assembly part that can be installed in the furniture panel. In a first step, the assembly part is pre-assembled on or in the furniture panel of the support. In a second step, the furniture door is removably connectable to the assembly part pre-assembled on the support via a connecting part. Furthermore, three rotatably supported operating elements are provided, by means of which the connecting part can be adjusted three-dimensionally relative to the assembly part while connected to the furniture part. To enable the connecting part to be adjusted inside the assembly part, a predetermined play of the connecting part must also exist inside the assembly part in three directions of movement. However, such three-dimensional play of the connecting part inside the assembly part may lead to instability and rattle of the connecting part, and the defined movement characteristics of the movable furniture part are not guaranteed.

[0006] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a fitting of the type mentioned at the outset which avoids the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0007] This problem is solved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0008] According to the invention, it is envisaged that the two adjustment devices are connected to one another in such a way that when the support body is adjusted in a first adjustment direction by the first adjustment device, the support body can also move together at least partially in a second adjustment direction.

[0009] In other words, the two adjusting devices are coupled in such a way that actuation of the adjusting device in the first direction of movement also leads to an adjustment of the support body in the second direction of movement, and preferably vice versa, thus providing a reduction in the two adjusting devices, which significantly reduces the play of the support body inside the basic body.

[0010] Preferably, it may be assumed that both adjustment devices are connected to one another in such a way that when the support body is adjusted in the second adjustment direction by the second adjustment device, the support body can also move together at least partially in the first adjustment direction.

[0011] Thus, unlike the prior art according to WO 2020 / 006587 mentioned at the outset, at least two mutually connected adjustment devices are provided, rather than independent adjustment devices. Adjustment of the first adjustment device in a first adjustment direction also results in movement of the support body into the second adjustment device (and preferably vice versa). While this may at first appear to be a drawback with respect to WO 2020 / 006587, it allows to reduce the play of the support body inside the base body and to find a satisfactory adjustment compromise in which the position of the support body is adapted in both the first and second adjustment directions.

[0012] According to a preferred embodiment, it may be provided that the at least one support body is supported in a connected state with the base body so as to be pivotable about a rotation axis relative to the base body, and that the support body is movable about the rotation axis by operating at least one adjusting device, preferably by operating both adjusting devices.

[0013] Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] 1 shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture with a support and a pivoting element movable relative to the support; [Figure 2] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the support body and the metal fittings in a separated state. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the first metal fitting part assembly and the base body separated from each other. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a locked state between the base body and the assembly body. [Figure 5a] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a first metal fitting part including a base body and a support body. [Figure 5b] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first fitting part including a base body and a support body. [Figure 6a] 10A-10C show adjustment by a first adjustment device with different positions of the pivoting element relative to the stationary support. [Figure 6b] 10A-10C show adjustment by a first adjustment device with different positions of the pivoting element relative to the stationary support. [Figure 6c] 10 shows an adjustment by a second adjustment device with a different position of the pivoting element relative to the stationary support. FIG. [Figure 6d] 10 shows an adjustment by a second adjustment device with a different position of the pivoting element relative to the stationary support. FIG. [Figure 7a] FIG. 1 shows a first fitting part including a base body, a support body and an adjustment device according to a slightly modified embodiment. [Figure 7b] FIG. 1 shows a first fitting part including a base body, a support body and an adjustment device according to a slightly modified embodiment.

[0015] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 1 with a stationary support 2 (e.g. in the form of a furniture cabinet 2a), in which a swivel element 3 (e.g. a movable furniture part 3a, flap, door, window, etc.) is supported by at least one fitting 4 so that it can swivel relative to the support 2, preferably about an axis which extends vertically in the assembled position.

[0016] The support body 2 has a plurality of plates 5a to 5e, and the first metal fitting portion 6 of the metal fitting 4 is formed to be incorporated into one of the plates 5a to 5e of the support body 2 (i.e., for example, into the top plate, the bottom plate, and / or into a partition plate arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate).

[0017] Of course, it is also possible to arrange the bracket 4 in or on one of the vertically extending plates 5d, 5e, so that the pivoting element 3 is supported in the assembled state so that it can pivot relative to the support body 2 around a horizontally extending axis.

[0018] In the illustrated embodiment, it is assumed that the first metal part 6 of the metal fitting 4 is substantially completely housed within a recess in the plates 5a, 5c and / or that the second metal part 7 of the metal fitting 4 is substantially completely housed within another recess in the pivoting element 3.

[0019] The pivoting element 3 may be made of a plate-like material (for example, wood, plastic, a fiber plate, a glass plate, etc.).

[0020] 2 shows the support body 2 and the fitting 4 separated from each other. The first fitting part 6 is to be mounted in or on the plates 5a-5e of the support body 2. For this purpose, the first fitting part 6 has an assembly 9 which can be fitted in a recess in the plate 5a and fixed to the plate 5a via at least one mounting device 10.

[0021] The mounting device 10 can be realized in various ways, for example it can have at least one hole for passing a screw, at least one eccentric body or at least one clamping screw. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting device 10 of the assembly 9 has at least one movable, preferably rotatable, mounting element 10a, by which at least one clamping part (not shown) of the mounting device 10 can be frictionally connected to the plate 5a by manipulating the mounting element 10a with a tool.

[0022] In a first step, the assembly 9 is pre-assembled to the plate 5a via at least one fastening device 10. The assembly 9 preferably has a pocket-like casing 11 into which a base body 12 of the first fitting part 6 can be introduced and which can be releasably locked in the casing 11 via at least one locking device 13.

[0023] The base body 12 of the first fitting part 6 accommodates a support body 32, the position of which is adjustable relative to the base body 12 by means of at least two adjustment devices 27, 28. Preferably, it may be assumed that the base body 12 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0024] By means of the first adjusting device 27, the support body 32 is adjustable relative to the base body 12 in a first adjustment direction M1, preferably perpendicular to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6. Preferably, the support body 32 is adjustable by means of the first adjusting device 27 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6, so that the swivel element 3 connected to the second fitting part 7 is adjustable in the depth direction relative to the stationary support 2.

[0025] By means of the second adjustment device 28, the support body 32 is adjustable relative to the base body 12 in a second adjustment direction M2 perpendicular to the first adjustment direction M1, preferably substantially parallel to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6. In this way, the swivel element 3, which is connected to the second fitting part 7, is adjustable laterally relative to the stationary support 2.

[0026] The support body 32 of the first fitting part 6 is pivotally connected to the second fitting part 7 via at least one joint lever 8a. The second fitting part 7 can be configured to be at least partially, preferably substantially completely, embedded in a recess of the pivoting element 3. Alternatively, the second fitting part 7 can be arranged completely outside the wall thickness of the pivoting element 3 in the assembled state.

[0027] The casing 11 of the assembly 9 has an elongated recess for accommodating the base body 12. The casing 11 has a height extension H and a longitudinal extension L, and the longitudinal extension L of the casing 11 may be at least three times, preferably at least six times, greater than the height extension H.

[0028] The preferably substantially rectangular parallelepiped base body 12 has dimensions corresponding to a height extension H and a longitudinal extension L, and the base body 12 can be accommodated in an approximately form-fitting manner inside the casing 11 of the assembly 9.

[0029] In FIG. 3, the assembly 9 and the base body 12 of the first fitting part 6 are shown separated from each other.

[0030] The base body 12 can be releasably locked to the assembly 9 by means of at least one locking device 13. The at least one locking device 13 has an ejection device 14 which, during the unlocking process, can push the base body 12 at least partially out of the casing 11 of the assembly 9 by means of the force of a spring element 16, preferably a compression spring.

[0031] The base body 12 can be pushed in the joining direction FR when assembling the assembly 9 into the casing 11, and in this case, the base body 12 can be pushed out at least partially in the direction opposite to the joining direction FR by the ejection device 14 during the unlocking process.

[0032] The casing 11 of the assembly 9 can have an end face 18, and the base body 12 can be pushed into the casing 11 of the assembly 9 during assembly substantially perpendicular to the end face 18. In the assembled state, the end face 18 of the casing 11 extends substantially parallel to the front narrow side of the plate 5a of the support body 2.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, at least one fastener 20 is provided which is rotatable about a rotation axis 19 and which has a shaft and two arms protruding from the shaft. The spring element 16 engages with the first arm of the fastener 20, the eject lever 14a is arranged on the second arm of the fastener 20, and the locking lever 13a is arranged on the shaft of the fastener 20.

[0034] An eject lever 14 a of an eject device 14 for pushing out the base body 12 from the assembly 9 can come into contact with a rear surface 15 of the base body 12 .

[0035] The locking device 13 may have at least one locking lever 13a pivotable to releasably lock the base body 12, and preferably the at least one locking lever 13a is - has a locked position and an unlocked position, and at least one locking lever 13a is placed in the unlocked position for assembling the base body 12; and / or - preloaded by at least one spring element 16, preferably a coil spring, and preferably at least one locking lever 13a is movable against the force of the spring element 16 when the base body 12 is pressed into the casing 11 of the assembly 9 and is releasably lockable to the base body 12 upon further pressing into the casing 11; and / or - releasably lockable via a control cam 21 and a control element 22, preferably a cylindrical pin, movable along the control cam 21; and / or - releasably lockable in at least one recess 17a, 17b of the base 12; and / or - arranged in or on the assembly 9 of the first fitting part 6;

[0036] The support body 32 can preferably be accommodated substantially completely within the base body 12, and the support body 32 is pivotally connected to the second metal part 7 via at least one joint lever 8a, preferably via at least two joint levers 8a, 8b.

[0037] 4 shows the locked position between the base body 12 and the assembly 9. For assembly, the base body 12 is pushed into the casing 11 of the assembly 9, whereby the control element 22 (e.g. a cylindrical pin) is moved out of the locking recess 24 of the control cam 21. In this way, the locking lever 13a is moved about the rotation axis 19 by the force of the relaxed spring element 16 and is locked in a lateral recess 17a of the base body 12. The base body 12 has another recess 17b on the opposite side, which engages with an engaging element 23 of the assembly 9.

[0038] It can be seen that the locking lever 13 a of the locking device 13 and the ejection lever 14 a of the ejection device 14 are both formed in one piece and are preferably preloaded by one and the same spring element 16 .

[0039] The locked position between the base body 12 and the assembly 9 can be released again by a release device 25 with a movable release element 25a. Preferably, the release element 25a is -linearly slidably supported; and / or - operable by a tool; and / or - movable against the force of the spring element 16 to a release position that releases the base 12; and / or - vertically movable relative to the end face 18 of the assembly 9 and / or operable from the end face 18 of the assembly 9 It may be assumed that.

[0040] To release the lock, the release element 25a is pressed into the casing 11 of the assembly 9 by means of a tool, which causes the control element 22 to move along the control cam 21 against the force of the spring element 16, which is then tensioned.

[0041] As a result of the movement of the control element 22 along the control cam 21, the locking lever 13a of the locking device 13 is also moved out of the recess 17a in the basic body 12, and the ejector lever 14a of the ejector device 14 is tilted about the rotation axis 19. Finally, the control element 22 again enters the locking recess 24 of the control cam 21, so that the basic body 12 can be pushed out of the casing 11 of the assembly 9 by the ejector lever 14a and by the force of the relaxed spring element 16.

[0042] 5a shows in plan view the first fitting part 6, which comprises a base body 12 and a support body 32 arranged within the base body. A first joint lever 8a is pivotally connected to the support body 32 via a first joint shaft 30a and / or a second joint lever 8b is pivotally connected to the support body 32 via a second joint shaft 30b.

[0043] A force accumulator 31 (e.g. at least one compression spring) is provided for applying a force to the joint lever 8b, by means of which the joint lever 8b (and thus the second fitting part 7) can be moved into an open end position and / or into a closed end position. The force accumulator 31 acts on a pivotally supported pressure roller 34 which can move along an actuation contour 35 arranged on the joint levers 8a, 8b when the latter are moved.

[0044] In order to damp the closing movement of the fitting 4, a damping device 37 (e.g., with a piston-cylinder unit) is provided, which can be loaded by the lever arm 36 of the joint lever 8b during the closing movement of the fitting 4.

[0045] By means of the first adjusting device 27, the position of the support body 32 can be adjusted in a first adjusting direction M1, preferably perpendicular to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6. The first adjusting device 27 can have a rotatable adjusting element 27a, which is threadedly engaged with a support part 38a of the support body 32.

[0046] By means of the second adjustment device 28, the position of the support body 32 can be adjusted in a second adjustment direction M2 perpendicular to the first adjustment direction M1, preferably in a direction parallel to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6.

[0047] The second adjusting device 28 may have a rotatable adjusting element 28a with a threaded section that is threadedly engaged with a support part 38b of a pivoting part 39 that is rotatable around a rotation axis 40.

[0048] The pivoting part 39 has an opening 41, preferably an elongated hole, in which a guide element 42 of the support body 32, preferably a pin, is movably guided. By rotating the adjusting element 28a of the second adjusting device 28, the pivoting part 39 can be tilted about a rotation axis 40, so that the guide element 42 of the support body 32 is slid substantially parallel to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6. In this way, the lateral position of the support body 32 relative to the outer base body 12, and therefore the pivoting element 3, relative to the stationary support 2, can be adjusted laterally.

[0049] For improved guidance, as shown in Figure 3, the guide element 42 is movable along a linear guide 46 of the base body 12. The linear guide 46 is oriented in this case substantially parallel to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6.

[0050] 5b shows a perspective view of the first fitting part 6, which includes the base body 12 and a support body 32 arranged in the base body 12. A force accumulator 31 (e.g., a compression spring) presses against an actuation contour 35 of the joint lever 8b via a pressure roller 34, so that the force of the force accumulator 31 can be transmitted to the joint lever 8b in a manner adjusted by a predetermined extension. When the fitting 4 is closed, the lever arm 32 of the joint lever 8b abuts against a damping device 37, whose casing (e.g., a cylinder) is pressed relative to a stationary piston rod 37a, so that the closing movement of the fitting 4 can be damped.

[0051] The support body 32 is supported so as to be pivotable about a rotation axis 40 relative to the base body 12. The support body 32 is at least partially movable about the rotation axis 40 by operating at least one of the adjustment devices 27, 28, preferably by operating both of the adjustment devices 27, 28.

[0052] The adjusting element 27 a of the first adjusting device 27 is threaded into a support part 38 a of the support body 32 , whereas the adjusting element 28 a of the second adjusting device 28 is threaded into a support part 38 b of the pivot part 39 .

[0053] According to a preferred embodiment, the rotation axis 40 is - located adjacent to a side surface of the first fitting part 6 that projects laterally from the end face 33, and / or - arranged on the first fitting part 6 at a distance relative to the joint axis 30b of at least one joint lever 8b, preferably in this case this distance substantially corresponds to the width of the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6 in a direction parallel to the second adjustment direction M2.

[0054] The adjusting element 27a, 28a of at least one adjusting device 27, 28 is - may have a longitudinal direction, in which case the rotatably supported adjusting elements 27a, 28a are supported so as to be non-slidable in the longitudinal direction or so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction, and / or - has a receptacle 43 for a tool, preferably a screwdriver, and / or It is accessible from the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6.

[0055] 6a and 6b show the first fitting part 6 including the base 12 and a support body 32 arranged on the base 12, the position of which is adjustable relative to the base 12 by means of both adjustment devices 27, 28.

[0056] The first adjusting device 27 has a rotatable adjusting element 27a, which is threadedly engaged with the support part 38a of the support body 32. By rotating the adjusting element 27a of the first adjusting device 27, the support body 32 can be adjusted in a direction extending perpendicular to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6. By operating the first adjusting device 27, the depth distance Z of the swivel element 3 can be adjusted relative to the stationary support 2; in FIG. 6b, the swivel element 3 has a different depth distance ΔZ relative to the stationary support 2. However, by operating the first adjusting device 27, the support body 32 is also moved together in a direction parallel to the end face 33. A direct comparison of the position of the support body 32 in FIG. 6b with FIG. 6a reveals that it has been moved together by a lateral distance ΔX.

[0057] 6c and 6d show the first fitting part 6, which comprises the base body 12 and a support body 32 that is adjustable in the base body 12. The second adjusting device 28 has a rotatable adjusting element 28a that is threadedly engaged with a support part 38b of a pivoting part 39 that is tiltable about a rotation axis 40.

[0058] By rotating the adjusting element 28a of the second adjusting device 28, the support body 32 can be adjusted in a direction extending parallel to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6. By operating the second adjusting device 28, the lateral alignment X1 of the swivel element 3 can be adjusted relative to the stationary support 2, with the swivel element 3 in Fig. 6d having a different lateral alignment X1 relative to the stationary support 2. However, by operating the second adjusting device 28, the support body 32 can be moved both laterally and, preferably, vertically relative to the end face 33. It can be seen that the depth distance Z1 according to Fig. 6c and the depth distance ΔZ1 according to Fig. 6d are of different magnitudes.

[0059] By rotating the adjustment element 28a of the second adjustment device 28, the pivoting part 39 can be tilted around the rotation axis 40, in which case the pivoting part 39 pushes away the guide element 42 of the support body 32 through the opening 41 in a direction parallel to the end face 33.

[0060] By coupling the two adjusting devices 27, 28, the play of the support body 32 inside the base body 12 is reduced, and it is achieved that the swivel element 3 has improved movement characteristics.

[0061] In FIG. 7 a a first fitting part 6 is shown in a slightly modified embodiment, comprising a base body 12 and a support body 32 arranged within the base body 12 .

[0062] In contrast to the previous figures, the second adjusting device 28 with the rotatable adjusting element 28a is configured differently for adjusting the support body 32 in a direction extending parallel to the end face 33. In the previous figures, it was assumed that the adjusting element 28a of the second adjusting device 28 is screwed into the support part 38b of the swivel part 39 via a thread section. However, due to the mutual screwing, under certain circumstances the rotatable adjusting element 28a and the swivel part 39, which can be tilted about the rotation axis 40, may get stuck together, especially with long adjustment distances.

[0063] 7a and 7b, it is therefore assumed that the rotatable adjusting element 28a has a non-threaded section 44, on which the pivot part 39 is supported, preferably via a support 39b. The adjusting element 28a has a longitudinal direction, in which the adjusting element 28a is slidable, preferably perpendicular to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6.

[0064] For slidable support of the adjustment element 28a, a longitudinal guide 45 is provided which is preferably arranged on the base body 12 and which extends transversely, preferably substantially perpendicularly, to the end face 33 of the first fitting part 6.

[0065] In Figure 7b the first fitting part 6 is shown, in which the support body 32 is in a different position relative to the base body 12 in direct comparison with Figure 7a. A different position of the adjusting element 28a relative to the longitudinal guide 45 can also be seen.

[0066] Operation of the second adjustment device 28 in the second adjustment direction M2, preferably in a direction parallel to the end face 33, also results in movement of the support body 32 in the first adjustment direction M1, preferably in a movement direction perpendicular to the end face 33.

[0067] Thus, operation of the first adjustment device 27 in the first adjustment direction M1, preferably in a movement direction perpendicular to the end face 33, also results in movement of the support body 32 in the second adjustment direction M2, preferably in a direction parallel to the end face 33.
