Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for moving at least one covering element according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] The invention further relates to furniture and furniture parts provided with an apparatus of this type.

[0003] An apparatus of this type has the object of guiding and stabilizing covering elements such as sliding doors or folding sliding doors, and is already known from the prior art.

[0004] For example, published Austrian Patent Application No. 524607 shows an apparatus for guiding a movable furniture part or covering element, wherein in addition to the guiding device, a separate additional guiding mechanism is additionally provided that ensures direct guiding of the covering element on the stationary furniture part.

[0005] The disadvantage of this solution is that the additional guiding mechanism requires the covering element to be connected to the guiding mechanism, and thus to the furniture part, and errors or problems such as jamming and / or vibration may occur during such connection.

[0006] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus compared to the prior art, which avoids functional errors and ensures stable guiding of the covering element.

[0007] This object is solved by the features described in claims 1, 15 and 16, which claims respectively define the apparatus, the furniture provided with the apparatus, and the furniture part provided with the apparatus.

[0008] An improved apparatus according to the present invention is an apparatus for moving at least one cover element, preferably a door or folding door, relative to a stationary furniture portion, wherein the furniture portion has at least one preferably shaft-shaped hollow chamber for housing the cover element and at least one inner chamber that can be at least partially covered by the cover element, the apparatus having at least one guide device for translating the cover element within the hollow chamber, at least one support movable along the guide device, and at least one swivel device, wherein the cover element can be supported by the swivel device on the support so as to be rotatable about a swivel axis parallel to the support, the apparatus having at least one stabilizing device, by which the cover element can be held at a predetermined distance from the guide device and / or from the wall defining the hollow chamber of the stationary furniture portion, wherein the stabilizing device has at least one connecting element that can be connected to the cover element at all positions of the cover element.

[0009] The first major advantage of the present invention is that a constant connection exists between the cover element and the furniture portion, which for the first time eliminates the need for any connection or disconnection processes, and consequently prevents malfunctions from occurring during connection.

[0010] In other words, a connection exists between the cover element and the furniture part at all points in time and at all positions of the cover element relative to the furniture part.

[0011] A further advantage of the present invention is that, based on consistent linkage by a stabilizing device, the distance between the cover element and the furniture portion, in particular the distance between the cover element and the wall adjacent to the hollow chamber of the furniture portion, can be kept constant as the cover element moves along at least one guide device, especially together with the support on which the cover element is positioned.

[0012] This means that the present invention enables stabilization of the cover element, in particular preventing tilting of the cover element, and moreover, in this case the cover element is stabilized by the stabilization device, preferably in the front region or outward-facing region of the cover element, at the full insertion position of the cover element within the hollow chamber.

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

[0014] Based on its partial guiding function, the stabilization device can also be considered a kind of second guide device, in which case the stabilization device guides the cover element during both translational and rotational motion.

[0015] The cover element is held at a predetermined distance from the guide device and / or from the furniture portion and / or from the walls of the hollow chamber of the furniture portion, particularly during translational motion along the guide device, in which case this distance may result from the geometry and / or embodiment of the stabilization device.

[0016] The direct advantages of this invention are the consistently accurate and stable connection and guiding of the cover elements, which further enables the user to enjoy parts-friendly use with minimal wear and frictionless operation of the device.

[0017] The apparatus according to the present invention can be used by introducing it into, for example, a prior art embodiment already known, such as the one described at the beginning of the specification, and can be incorporated later.

[0057] Figures 1 and 2 show a diagram of the first embodiment of the device 1 at an intermediate position 25 of the cover element 2. Figure 1 also shows a detailed diagram of the connection point of the swivel device 8 on the support 7. The stabilizing device 10 is not visible in this drawing because it is covered by the cover element 2.

[0058] Figure 1 shows, in particular, components belonging to the common prior art. Specifically, it shows a furniture section 3 comprising a cover element 2, preferably a door or folding door, and preferably at least one shaft-shaped hollow chamber 4 and at least one inner chamber 5 that can be at least partially covered by the cover element 2; a guide device 6 for translating the cover element 2 within the hollow chamber 4; a movable support 7 along the guide device 6; and two swivel devices 8, by which the cover element 2 is supported on the support 7 so as to be rotatable about a swivel axis 9.

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

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

[0061] Figures 5 and 6 show a diagram of a first embodiment of the stabilization device 10, which includes a hollow chamber guide 13, a cover element guide 17, and a connecting element 12.

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

[0063] Figure 6 shows the hollow chamber guide 13, cover element guide 17, and connecting element 12 disassembled and spaced apart from each other, which also reveals other partial elements of the stabilization device 10.

[0064] In this embodiment, the connecting element 12 has two connecting element stoppers 16, in which case a spring, particularly a compression spring, or energy accumulator 24, is arranged around one of the connecting element stoppers 16.

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

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

[0067] In this embodiment, two sliding elements 19, preferably in the form of rolling elements, or running wheels, are arranged on one of the connecting element portions 20, particularly on the spacer element 22, and these sliding elements are formed to be guided and moved along the cover element guide 17.

[0068] Figures 7 to 13 show horizontal cross-sectional views of the motion sequence of the first embodiment of apparatus 1 or the first embodiment of stabilization device 10. In this case, Figure 7 shows the entire apparatus 1, and Figures 8 to 13 show detailed views of the motion sequence of stabilization device 10.

[0069] Figures 8 to 13 also show that the hollow chamber guide 13 has a hollow chamber guide stopper 15, which can restrict the relative movement of the connecting element 12 with respect to the hollow chamber guide 13 and / or can function as a support for the accumulator 24, and in particular the support for the accumulator 24 can allow the accumulator 24 to store energy.

[0070] The accumulator 24 or spring can generally assist the relative motion of the connecting element 12 with respect to the hollow chamber guide 13 and / or cover element guide 17, particularly its translational motion.

[0071] In Figure 8, the cover element 2 is in the closed position 26, in which case the cover element is located completely outside the hollow chamber 4 and at least partially covers the interior chamber 5 of the furniture section 3.

[0072] In the closed position 26, the accumulator 24 or spring is either relaxed or only slightly tensed.

[0073] In this embodiment, the energy accumulator 24 is subjected to some preload in the closed position 26, thereby providing the energy accumulator 24 with a closing function to keep the cover element 2 securely closed in the closed position 26.

[0074] In Figure 9, the cover element 2 is in the 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 accumulator 24 is preloaded relatively strongly at this intermediate position 25, thereby giving the accumulator 24 a return action applied to the cover element 2 in the direction of the complete insertion position 27 of the cover element 2.

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

[0077] Since the coupling device 12, in particular the spacer element 22 and / or at least one sliding element 19 of the coupling device 12, are in contact with the cover element guide stopper 18 at this intermediate position 25, the cover element 2 is also held by the stabilizing device 10 and / or remains coupled and / or can avoid translational motion out of the hollow chamber 4.

[0078] In this embodiment of the stabilization device 10, the spacer element 22 of the connecting element 12 is in contact with the connecting element stopper 16, so the rotation of the spacer element 22 around the joint 21 is restricted.

[0079] It is also conceivable that at least one additional support element 23 is provided, in particular, in place of at least one connecting element stopper 16. For details, please refer to Figures 14 to 17, which show such support elements 23.

[0080] At this intermediate position 25, the hollow chamber guide stopper 15 of the hollow chamber guide 13 and the connecting element stopper 16 of the connecting element 12, which is located closer to the cover element 2, are in contact with each other, so that translational motion of the connecting element 12 along the hollow chamber guide 13 no longer occurs and / or the accumulator 24 is relaxed or relatively slightly tensioned.

[0081] Figures 10 to 13 show the predetermined spacing 11 of the cover element 2 relative to the guide device 6 and / or the furniture portion 3 relative to the wall 14 adjacent to the hollow room 4.

[0082] Figure 11 shows the intermediate position 25, in which the connecting element 12 is in a substantially resting state, and the cover element 2 moves further into the hollow chamber 4 in the direction of the full insertion position 27, guided by the stabilizing device 10.

[0083] As the cover element 2 moves toward the full insertion position 27, the cover element 2 slides along the connecting element 12, particularly along the spacer element 22 and / or at least one sliding element 19, by the cover element guide 17.

[0084] Figure 12 shows the intermediate position 25, in which the cover element 2 remains located even closer to the complete insertion position 27 within the hollow chamber 4.

[0085] Figure 13 shows the complete insertion position 27 of the cover element 2, and the stabilization of the cover element 2 by the stabilization device 10 is preferably performed in the front region or the outward-facing region of the cover element 2.

[0086] Throughout the entire motion sequence of the cover element 2, the accumulator 24 may have a damping function to dampen the motion of the cover element 2 and / or the connecting element 12.

[0087] It is also possible that the accumulator 24 has a stabilization function to stabilize the cover element 2 at the intermediate position 25.

[0088] Figures 14 to 17 show horizontal cross-sectional views of the motion sequence of the second embodiment of apparatus 1 or the second embodiment of stabilization apparatus 10.

[0089] This motion sequence substantially corresponds to the motion steps of the first embodiment of the stabilization device 10 shown in Figures 7 to 13.

[0090] However, in this embodiment, the stabilization device 10 has an additional support element 23 located in particular in the hollow chamber guide 13, which restricts the rotational movement of the spacer element 22 around the joint 21.

[0091] The stabilizing device 10 and / or support element 23 are preferably formed such that a 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 at the position shown in Figure 13, at the position shown in Figure 14, the stabilization of the cover element 2 by the stabilization device 10 is preferably performed in the front region or the outward-facing region of the cover element 2.

[0093] Figures 18 to 20 show a second embodiment of the apparatus 1, with the cover element 2 in the closed position 26.

[0094] In this second embodiment, the stabilizing device 10 is positioned in the wall 14 of the hollow chamber 4, specifically in the substantially middle and / or upper half of the furniture portion 3 and / or cover element 2.

[0095] In particular, if the cover element 2 is large, placing the stabilizing device 10 in the upper region may be beneficial in preventing tilting moments of the cover element 2 and / or support 7.

[0096] It is also conceivable to place multiple stabilization devices 10 in the furniture section 3.

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

[0098] In particular, Figure 20 shows, in addition to the stabilization device 10, four guide devices 6 attached to the side edges of the hollow chamber 4, and another compensation device 28 for compensating for the tilting moment of the support 7 or the tilting moment of the cover element 2 positioned on the support 7.

[0099] The compensation device 28 may have at least one cable pulling device and / or a swivel lever mechanism.

[0100] Figures 21 to 26 show a diagram of a third embodiment of the stabilization device 10, which includes a hollow chamber guide 13, a cover element guide 17, and a connecting element 12.

[0101] In this case, Figure 22, in particular, shows a substantially integrated connecting element 12, unlike the first two embodiments of the stabilization device 10, which has a curved end 29 located closer to the cover element 2.

[0102] The curved end 29 of the connecting element 12 is preferably formed to correspond to a predetermined interval 11.

[0103] The connecting element 12 of this embodiment of the stabilization device 10 has a connecting element stopper 16, which acts in particular as a support for the accumulator 24.

[0104] In this embodiment, the energy storage device 24 is positioned adjacent to the connecting element 12, between the end of the hollow chamber guide 13 that acts as a receiver and the connecting element stopper 16.

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

[0106] Furthermore, Figure 22 includes detailed views of both ends of the cover element guide 17, in which case one end has a cover element guide stopper 18.

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

[0108] Furthermore, Figure 23 shows a hollow chamber guide stopper 15 of the hollow chamber guide 13, which can act as a limiter for the movement of the connecting element 12 and / or as a support for the accumulator 24.

[0109] Figures 27 to 33 show the motion sequences of a second embodiment of the apparatus 1, or a third embodiment of the stabilizing apparatus 10 having a curved end 29.

[0110] Figure 27 shows the closed position 26 of the cover element 2, in which case the cover element 2 is located completely outside the hollow chamber 4.

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

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

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

[0114] Figures 30 to 32 show two other intermediate positions 25, in which the cover element 2 translates towards the fully inserted position 27 of the cover element 2 within the hollow chamber 4.

[0115] In this case, at the position shown in Figure 30, the connecting element 12 moves translationally into the hollow chamber 4 in the direction of the complete insertion position 27.

[0116] In Figures 31 and 32, the connecting element 12 is positioned as far back as possible to contact the hollow chamber guide 13, so that only the cover element 2 continues to move into the hollow chamber 4, and the cover element guide 17 is 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 complete insertion position 27 inside the hollow chamber 4, and the stabilization of the cover element 2 by the stabilization device 10 is preferably in the front region or the outward-facing region of the cover element 2.
