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 pivot element, the second fitting part being pivotally connected to the first fitting part; Contains 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 the first fitting part has at least one connecting part pivotally connected to the second fitting part, the connecting part being removably connectable to the assembly part; the mounting part of the first fitting part preferably has a pocket-like casing, and the connecting part, in the connected state with the mounting part, is accommodated inside the casing of the mounting part at least in a predetermined area, preferably in most areas, the fitting further comprises at least one locking device capable of releasably locking the connecting portion to the assembly portion; - the at least one locking device relates to a fitting, which has an ejection device that can push the connecting part at least partially out of the casing of the assembly part during the unlocking process.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for movably supporting a pivoting element, in particular a furniture part, a door or a window, on a stationary support by means of at least one fitting of the described type.

[0003] WO 2020 / 006588 and WO 2020 / 006589 each disclose 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 board. In a first step, the assembly part is pre-assembled on or in the furniture board. In a second step, the furniture door can be removably connected to the pre-assembled assembly part via a connecting part. For assembly, the connecting part is inserted obliquely into the pocket-shaped assembly part, with the locking part of the connecting part being guided along the inclined surface of the locking element, and the energy accumulator can be stored in this position. The locking part can then enter the recess of the locking part, which releases the energy accumulator and allows the connecting part to be locked to the assembly part. The locking part and the assembly part are unlocked by a release element that can be depressed with a tool. By pushing in the release element, the locking portion is moved in a direction extending parallel to the end face of the assembly part against the force of the energy accumulator until the engaging portion of the connecting element is released and the connecting part can be separated from the assembly part.

[0004] EP 1 895 082 A1 shows a furniture hinge with a framework-like connecting element which can be releasably locked to a door-side connecting element.

[0005] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015 / 061481 shows a cabinet with a pivotable door that can be pushed from a closed position to an open position by a touch latch mechanism. To unlock the touch latch mechanism, the door is pushed over from the closed position, and a component connected to the door can be pushed out of a holder attached to the cabinet by the force of a compression spring. The pushing process is triggered every time the door is pushed over, which is undesirable in some applications. For example, the door may be unintentionally unlocked by simply leaning on the door or by a child playing, for example.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fitting of the type mentioned at the outset which is provided with an improved unlocking means.

[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 a release device is provided for releasing the lock between the assembly part and the connecting part, with a movably supported release element.

[0009] In this way, the lock between the assembly part and the connecting part can be released by deliberately operating the movably supported release element, and unintentional release of the lock is avoided.

[0010] The connecting portion can be pushed into the assembly portion in the joining direction, and in this case, the connecting portion can be actively pushed out of the assembly portion by an ejection device from its connected state with the assembly portion, i.e., at least partially in the opposite direction to the joining direction.

[0011] 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.

[0012] According to one embodiment, it may be envisaged that the casing of the assembly part has an end face, and that the connecting part can be pushed into the casing of the assembly part substantially perpendicular to the end face during assembly.

[0013] In other words, the connecting part can be pushed into the assembly part with a linear connecting movement and locked in a defined end position. In contrast, in the prior art described at the beginning according to WO 2020 / 006588, the connecting part, together with the furniture part attached to it, must be introduced obliquely into the casing of the assembly part. This has the disadvantage that it limits the maximum wall thickness of the swivel element, because the swivel element may come into contact with the furniture body when assembling the connecting part, or the connecting part cannot be introduced into the casing of the assembly part at all. The linear introduction of the connecting part into the casing of the assembly part allows for assembly that is largely independent of the material thickness of the swivel element.

[0014] According to one embodiment, it can be provided that the housing of the mounting part has an end face and that the locking between the mounting part and the connecting part takes place in the area adjacent to the end face, which has the advantage that the forces occurring during the movement of the pivoting element are introduced directly into the support and the connecting part can be stably connected to the mounting part.

[0015] Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0037] 4 shows the connecting part 12 partially pushed into the assembly part 9 of the first fitting part 6. The locking device 13 has at least one pivotable locking lever 13a for releasably locking the connecting part 12. The ejection device 14 has at least one ejection lever 14a for pushing the connecting part 12 out of the casing 11 of the assembly part 9, preferably in this case at least one locking lever 13a and at least one ejection lever 14a are integrally connected to one another; and / or at least one locking lever 13a and at least one ejection lever 14a are preloaded by one and the same spring element 16, and / or - at least one rotatably supported fastener 20 is provided, which has a shaft and two arms protruding from the shaft, a first arm of which is engaged by a spring element 16, a second arm of which is arranged with an ejection lever 14a, and a shaft of which is arranged with a locking lever 13a; and / or At least one locking lever 13a and at least one ejection lever 14a are arranged on the assembly part 9 of the first fitting part 6;

[0038] 5 shows the further pushing-in movement of the connecting part 12 into the assembly part 9 previously assembled to the support body 2. The connecting part 12 can have at least one lateral recess 17b, which can engage with an engaging element 23 arranged on the assembly part 9. The engaging element 23 can be configured, for example, as a protrusion, as a cylindrical pin or as a rotatable roller, the rotation axis of which extends substantially parallel to the height extension (H) of the assembly part 9.

[0040] Figure 7 shows the locked position between the connecting part 12 and the assembly part 9. Starting from Figure 6, the connecting part 12 was pushed further into the casing 11 of the assembly part 9, whereby the control element 22 (e.g. a cylindrical pin) was moved out of the locking recess 24 of the control cam 21. In this way, the locking lever 13a was moved about the rotation axis 19 by the force of the relaxed spring element 16 and locked into the lateral recess 17a of the connecting part 12.

[0041] 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 .

[0042] FIG. 8 shows the unlocking between the connecting part 12 and the assembly part 9 and the ejection of the connecting part 12 from the casing 11 of the assembly part 9 in the ejection direction (AR).

[0045] Due to 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 of the connecting part 12, and the eject lever 14a of the ejector device 14 is tilted about the axis of rotation 19. Finally, the control element 22 enters again into the locking recess 24 of the control cam 21, so that the connecting part 12 can be pushed out of the casing 11 of the assembly part 9 in the pushing direction (AR) by the ejector lever 14a and by the force of the relaxed spring element 16.

[0046] In the illustrated FIG. 8, at least one guide 26 is provided for linearly guiding the release element 25 a, by means of which the release element 25 a can be guided in a direction extending perpendicular to the end face 18 .

[0047] The method for movably supporting a swivel element 3, in particular a movably supported furniture part 3a, a door or a window, on a stationary support 2 by means of at least one fitting 4 of the described type comprises the following method steps: - mounting the mounting part 9 of the first fitting part 6 on or in the preferably substantially horizontally oriented plates 5a-5e of the support 2, - attaching the second fitting part 7 to the pivoting element 3, - joining a connecting part 12 pivotally connected to the second fitting part 7 into the assembly part 9 of the first fitting part 6, preferably in a pocket-like casing 11, - releasably locking the connecting part 12 to the casing 11 of the assembly part 9 by means of a locking device 13, and - in the process of unlocking, ejecting the connecting part 12 at least partially from the casing 11 of the assembly part 9 by means of an ejection device 14. Includes:

[0048] According to a preferred embodiment of the method, the connecting part 12 is joined substantially perpendicular to the end face 18 of the casing 11 of the assembly part 9, and preferably in this case the connecting part 12 is moved substantially parallel to the end face 18 of the casing 11 of the assembly part 9 just before reaching its end position within the casing 11.

[0049] 9 shows the assembly part 9 of the first fitting part 6 in an exploded view. The assembly part 9 has two connectable housing parts 9a, 9b, between which a locking device 13 with a locking lever 13a and an ejection device 14 are arranged. A fastener 20 can be seen, in which a spring element 16 engages and which together form the locking lever 13a and the ejection lever 14a.
