Abstract
Description
[0001] Guide fitting
[0002] The present invention relates to a guide fitting according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0003] The invention further relates to a furniture or household appliance element according to the preamble of claim 14.
[0004] Guide fittings of this type are used, for example, in furniture or household appliance components, as described in DE 102022 110 207 A1. These guide fittings serve to guide a cabinet component that is mounted in a support body and is simultaneously rotatable and transversely movable.
[0005] In order to prevent an abrupt stop of the translational-rotational movement when reaching an end position, especially when the movable body part is heavily loaded, it is known from the above-mentioned publication to equip a so-called self-retracting device with a force storage device that pulls or pushes the body part into an end position and with a damping element for damped guidance of the body part into its end position.
[0006] Such a guide fitting has proven its worth in practice.
[0007] Depending on the size or load capacity of the furniture or household appliance element into which such a guide fitting is inserted, it may be necessary to use damping elements of varying strengths, so that, depending on the required damping force, a suitable damping element is installed in the respective self-closing device and, if the desired damping effect is not achieved or is too strong, it is replaced by a damping element with a correspondingly adapted greater or lesser damping effect.
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a guide fitting and a furniture or household appliance element with which the damping capacity can be adjusted in the simplest possible manner. This object is achieved by a guide fitting with the features of claim 1.
[0009] The problem is further solved by a furniture or household appliance element with the features of claim 14.
[0010] The guide fitting according to the invention for guiding the movement of a body part that is simultaneously mounted to be movable translationally and rotationally relative to a stationary support body comprises a support plate, a linear guide with at least one first connecting part arranged on the support plate and a second connecting part movable relative to this, a rotary bearing base arranged on the at least one second connecting part and at least one self-closing device coupled at least partially with the linear guide.
[0011] The self-closing device has a toggle lever with a first lever and a second lever pivotably coupled to the first lever.
[0012] The first or second connection part is coupled to the first or second lever via an energy storage device and to the first or second lever via a damping element.
[0013] The damping element can be detachably fixed at at least two positions of the first or second lever that are at different distances from a pivot axis of the first or second lever on the first or second connecting part.
[0014] By being able to position the damping element at different distances from the pivot axis of the first or second lever on the first or second connection part, the same damping element can be used for different damping requirements, since different damping effects result from the different points of application of the damping element on the first or second lever.
[0015] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. According to one advantageous embodiment, the second lever has at least one retaining contour to which a first end of the damping element can be detachably fixed.
[0016] This retaining contour, according to an advantageous further development, is designed as an adjusting groove in which the first end of the damping element can be detachably fixed. Such an adjusting groove can be easily incorporated into the second lever, for example, by punching.
[0017] According to a further preferred embodiment, a rivet is arranged at the first end of the damping element and is slidably fixed in the adjustment groove. This allows the use of a standard damping element, which typically has a bore or rivet receptacle at one end in which the rivet can be received.
[0018] The rivet is preferably designed as a cylindrical rivet with a flattened section on its outer surface. An inner edge of the adjustment groove is accordingly formed with at least two partial cylindrical receiving contours, which allow the rivet to be moved in a correspondingly aligned sliding position with the flattened section oriented parallel to the longitudinal extent of the adjustment groove.
[0019] Such a combination of the design of the rivet and the adjustment groove thus enables, on the one hand, a secure holding of the damping element at the desired position of the second lever and, on the other hand, a simple adjustment option to move the damping element to a different position of the second lever.
[0020] For additional security, the rivet preferably has a rivet head with which the rivet can be detachably fixed to the second lever in a non-sliding position.
[0021] In a first embodiment, the second lever has a locking groove running parallel to the adjustment groove, in which a locking element arranged on the rivet, which fixes the rivet in a non-sliding position, can be detachably secured. According to an advantageous further development, this locking element is designed as a clamping or locking element arranged on an end face of the rivet and capable of being wedged or latched in the locking groove.
[0022] This provides additional security for the rivet in a predetermined position within the adjustment groove. Furthermore, it is immediately visually apparent whether the rivet is rotated in the adjustment groove in such a way as to prevent it from shifting along the groove.
[0023] According to one alternative design variant, a detent element is molded onto the rivet head, which engages in the adjustment groove when the rivet is not in the sliding position.
[0024] According to an advantageous embodiment, the first connecting part of the linear guide is fixedly attached to the carrier plate and the second connecting part of the linear guide is fixedly attached to the rotary bearing base.
[0025] It is also conceivable, according to an alternative design variant, that the first connecting part of the linear guide is fixedly located on the rotary bearing base and the second connecting part of the linear guide is fixedly located on the support plate.
[0026] Furthermore, according to a preferred embodiment, the first lever is pivotably coupled to the first connecting part via a pivot axis, and the second lever is pivotably coupled to the second connecting part via a pivot axis.
[0027] In an alternative design variant, the first lever is pivotally connected to the second connection part via a pivot axis, and the second lever is pivotally connected to the first connection part via a pivot axis.
[0028] According to an advantageous embodiment, the linear guide consists of two first connecting parts arranged parallel to each other and designed as guide rails, and second connecting parts designed as running rails that are movable relative to these.
[0029] According to another preferred embodiment, a guide cam track is arranged on the rotary bearing, which is rotatable in a direction of rotation relative to the first connecting part of the linear guide and displaceable in a predetermined direction, as well as a guide element arranged on the support plate and guided in the guide cam track.
[0030] The guide cam track and the guide element guided within it make precise guidance of the body part during the combined translational-rotational movement possible in a particularly simple way.
[0031] The furniture or household appliance element according to the invention, in particular a shelf or rack with at least one storage level, has a stationary support body, a body part which is mounted to be movable translationally and rotationally relative to the support body and which has at least one storage surface, and at least one guide fitting to enable a translational-rotational movement of the body part relative to a support plate of the support body from a starting position to an intermediate position and further to an opening position and back.
[0032] In an intermediate position, the body part is rotated relative to the support plate in one direction and shifted in a predetermined translational direction. The guide fitting is designed as described above.

[0060] In the following figure descriptions, terms such as top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc., refer exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the furniture element, carcass part, support carcass, linear guide, self-closing device, first lever, second lever, damping element, and the like as chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood as restrictive; that is, these references may change due to different working positions, mirror-symmetrical design, or similar factors.
[0061] In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 designates a variant embodiment of a guide fitting according to the invention. The guide fitting 1 serves to guide the movement of a body part 12, which is mounted to be movable both translationally and rotationally, relative to a stationary support body 11 of a furniture or household appliance element, as shown by way of example in Figures 18-21.
[0062] The guide fitting 1 is arranged between a cover support plate 14 of the support body 11 and a cover plate of the body part 12 and / or between a base support plate 13 of the support body 11 and a base plate of the body part 12.
[0063] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the guide fitting 1 has a support plate 2.
[0064] The guide fitting 1 further comprises a linear guide 3, with at least one first connecting part arranged on the carrier plate 2 and a second connecting part movable relative to this.
[0065] The first connecting part of the linear guide 3 is preferably designed as a guide rail 31 attached to the support plate 2 via a mounting leg 33. The second connecting part is preferably designed as a running rail 32 that is linearly movable on the guide rail 31 in the translational direction A (shown in Figure 18).
[0066] The linear guide 3 preferably consists of two pairs of such connecting parts arranged parallel to each other.
[0067] A rotary bearing base 7 of the guide fitting 1 is further arranged on at least one second connecting part of the linear guide 3.
[0068] For guiding the movement of the body part 12, which is mounted to be movable both translationally and rotationally, relative to the stationary support body 11, a guide cam track 16 is arranged on the rotary bearing base 7, as further shown in Figure 1. This cam track is rotatable relative to the first connecting part of the linear guide 3 in a direction of rotation Ri, R2 shown in Figure 18 and is displaceable in a predetermined direction A. A guide element 17 is guided in the guide cam track 16 and arranged on the support plate 2.
[0069] The guide fitting 1 further comprises at least one self-closing device 4 coupled at least partially to the linear guide 3. An exploded view of a first embodiment of such a self-closing device 4, as also used in the guide fitting according to Figures 3 and 4, is shown in Figure 7.
[0070] An exploded view of a second embodiment of such a self-closing device 4, as is also used in the guide fitting according to Figures 1 and 2, is shown in Figure 13.
[0071] The self-closing device 4 shown in Figure 7 has a lever mechanism with a first lever 41, used here as a pendulum lever, and a second lever 42, pivotably coupled to the first lever 41 and used here as a force lever. The lever mechanism is designed, for example, as a toggle lever.
[0072] The first lever 41 and the second lever 42 are arranged such that the translational-rotational movement of the body part 12 is supported at least in a region near an end position. Such end positions are, for example, the positions of the body part 12 relative to the stationary support body 11 shown in Figures 18 and 21.
[0073] For this purpose, the second connecting part of the linear guide 3 is coupled to the first lever 41 or the second lever 42 via an energy storage device 5.
[0074] Furthermore, the running rail 32 is coupled to the second lever 42 via a damping element 6.
[0075] As shown particularly in Figure 6, in the preferred embodiment of the guide fitting 1 shown here, a second end 52 of the energy storage element 5 and a second end 62 of the damping element 6 are fixed to the pivot bearing base 7, which in this embodiment is fixedly attached to the guide rails 32 designed as second connection parts. In principle, it would also be conceivable to arrange the first connection part of the linear guide 3 fixedly on the pivot bearing base 7 and the second connection part of the linear guide 3 fixedly on the support plate 2.
[0076] It is also conceivable to fix the second ends 52, 62 of the energy storage device 5 and the damping element 6 to the first connecting part of the linear guide 3.
[0077] In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 6, 11 and 12, the end of the first lever 41, which is spaced apart from the second lever 42, is pivotably fixed to the first connecting part of the linear guide 3, in particular to the mounting leg 33 attached to the support plate 2, via a pivot axis 45.
[0078] Accordingly, the end of the second lever 41, which is spaced apart from the first lever 41, is pivotably fixed to the pivot bearing base 7 via a pivot axis 43.
[0079] If the second ends 52, 62 of the energy storage device 5 and the damping element 6 are fixed to the first connection part, the end of the first lever 41 spaced away from the second lever 42 would accordingly be attached to the second connection part.
[0080] In an embodiment shown in Figures 16 and 17, in which the first lever 41 and the second lever 42 are arranged in positions reversed compared to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 6, the end of the first lever 41 spaced apart from the second lever 42 is pivotably fixed to the pivot bearing base 7 via the pivot axis 45 and the end of the second lever 42 spaced apart from the first lever 41 is pivotably fixed to the mounting leg 33 attached to the support plate 2 via the pivot axis 43.
[0081] The second lever 42 and the first lever 41 are pivotally connected to each other via a pivot axis 44.
[0082] While the first lever 41 is designed here as a flat component, in particular a sheet metal component, the second lever 42 is preferably U-shaped. The pivot bearing base 7 has, in addition to the annular pivot bearing part 72, a mounting plate 71 to which the pivot bearing part 72 is integrally formed.
[0083] Furthermore, rail receptacles 73 are molded into the side of the mounting plate 71, which serve to receive the guide rails 32 of the linear guide 3.
[0084] As shown, for example, in Figure 6, retaining elements 74, 75 are also formed on the mounting plate 71, which serve to hold the second ends 52, 62 of the energy storage device 5 and the damping element 6.
[0085] The energy storage device 5 is preferably designed as a tension spring. A first end 51 of the energy storage device 5 is preferably hooked into a hook 413 of the first lever 41.
[0086] At the ends of the first lever 41, bores 411, 412 are provided, and at the ends of the second lever 42, bores 421, 422 are provided, in which the pivot axes 43, 44 and 45, which are preferably designed as bolts or plug-in axles, are received. The pivot axes 43 and 45 are preferably enclosed by a sleeve 46.
[0087] The damping element 6 can be detachably attached at at least two positions of the second lever 42 at different distances from the pivot axis 43 of the second lever 42 on the first or second connecting part.
[0088] By positioning the second lever 42 at different distances from the pivot axis 43 of the second lever 42 on the first or second connecting part, it is possible to variably adjust the damping effect of the damping element 6 and thus to achieve different levels of damping during the retraction movement of the body part 12 into a final position.
[0089] The arrangement and variable fixing of the damping element 6 on the second lever 42 is described below with reference to Figures 7 and 8a to 10b as well as Figures 13 to 15d.
[0090] The second lever 42 preferably has at least one retaining contour to which a first end 61 of the damping element 6 can be detachably fixed. This retaining contour is preferably designed as an adjusting groove 423, as shown in Figure 7, in which the first end 61 of the damping element 6 can be detachably fixed.
[0091] In a first embodiment shown in Figures 7 to 12c, the first end 61 of the damping element 6 is designed as a cylindrical body with a rivet receptacle 64 formed as a through-hole, in which a rivet 8 is received, which is adjustably fixed in the adjusting groove 423.
[0092] The rivet 8 is preferably designed as a cylindrical rivet with a flattening 82 in the area of its outer surface 81 (shown for example in Figures 9a and 9b).
[0093] An inner edge of the adjustment groove 423 is accordingly formed in at least two partial cylinder receiving contours 428, which enable the rivet 8 to be moved in a correspondingly aligned sliding position of the rivet 8 with a flattening 82 aligned parallel to the longitudinal extension of the adjustment groove 423.
[0094] Figures 8a to 8e and figures 9a and 9b or 10a and 10b show the sequence of an adjustment process to fix the first end 61 of the damping element 6 in a predetermined position in the adjustment groove 423.
[0095] In the position of the rivet 8 shown in Figures 8a, 9a and 10a, it is fixed in a predetermined position within the adjustment groove 423. As shown particularly in Figure 9a, in this fixed position the cylindrical surface 81 of the rivet 8 is aligned such that displacement in the longitudinal direction of the adjustment groove 423 by the partial cylinder receiving contours 428 is prevented.
[0096] Only by rotating the rivet 8 into the position shown in Figure 9b, in which the flattening 82 is rotated parallel to the longitudinal extension of the adjusting groove 423, can the rivet 8 be moved in the longitudinal direction of the adjusting groove 423.
[0097] In the embodiment shown in Figures 10a and 10b, instead of the partial cylinder receiving contours 428, the inner edge of the adjusting groove 423 is provided with a toothing and, accordingly, the cylindrical surface 81 of the rivet 8, which here has an oval cross-sectional area, is also provided with such a toothing, so that by rotating the rivet 8 from the fixing position shown in Figure 10a to the release position shown in Figure 10b, the toothing of the rivet 8 is disengaged from the toothing of the adjusting groove 423 and thus it is also possible to move the rivet 8 in the longitudinal direction of the adjusting groove 423.
[0098] To additionally secure the rivet 8 in a fixed position, the second lever 42 has a locking groove 424 running parallel to the adjustment groove 423, in which a fixing element arranged on the rivet 8, which fixes the rivet 8 in a non-sliding position, can be detachably fixed.
[0099] In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 7, this fixing element is designed as a clamping or locking element 9 arranged on an end face of the rivet 8 and able to be clamped or locked in the locking groove 424.
[0100] The clamping or locking element 9 essentially consists of a receptacle 91 in which a cuboid rivet head 83 is positively engaged. The receptacle 91 further has an opening through which the semi-cylindrical or oval rivet neck of the rivet 8 is inserted.
[0101] Laterally to the longitudinal extent of the cuboid rivet head 83, a locking tongue 92 is formed laterally to the receptacle 91, with a locking rib that engages in the locking groove 424 and can be released from this locking connection by lifting.
[0102] Figure 8b shows, by way of example, the position of the rivet 8 and the clamping or locking element 9 released from the detent.
[0103] Figure 8c shows the detented position of the rivet 8 in a second partial cylinder receiving contour 428 of the adjusting groove 423.
[0104] Figure 8d shows the rivet 8 in its detented position rotated by 90° to allow further displacement in the longitudinal extension of the adjustment groove 423.
[0105] Figure 8e shows the rivet 8 in a latched position in a third of the partial cylinder receiving contours 428 of the adjusting groove 423 with the clamping or latching element 9 latched.
[0106] A preload element 84 is preferably arranged on the side of the rivet 8 facing away from the clamping or locking element 9. This preload element 84 serves to ensure a slight preload of the rivet 8 and the clamping or locking element 9 after the rivet 8 has been inserted into the adjusting groove 423 of the second lever 42.
[0107] The U-shaped design of the second lever 42 is preferably such that the two legs 426, 427, which are connected to each other by a central web 425 and in which an adjusting groove 423 and on at least one leg 426, 427 a locking groove 424 are provided, are not aligned exactly parallel, but widen slightly towards their free edges, so that after the rivet 8 is inserted it is held under tension, so that after the rivet 8 is installed the legs 426, 427 are aligned parallel to each other in the installed state.
[0108] In contrast to the embodiment shown in Figures 7 to 12, the embodiment shown in Figures 13 to 15d has a detent element 86 formed on the rivet head 83', which engages in the adjusting groove 423 when the rivet 8 is in the non-sliding position. A locking groove 424 is not necessary in this embodiment.
[0109] To reliably engage the locking element 86 in the adjusting groove 423, the rivet head 83' is pre-tensioned in the area of the adjusting groove 423. This is preferably achieved by a wave washer 85, which is held on the rear side of the leg 427 of the second lever 42, facing away from the leg 426, by the pre-tensioning element 84.
[0110] The adjustment of the rivet 8 in the adjustment groove is carried out, as shown in figures 14a to d and 15a to d, analogously to the adjustment of the rivet 8 in the embodiment variant according to figures 7 to 12.
[0111] Figures 14a to d show the second lever with rivet 8 included therein from the side of the first leg 426 of the second lever 42, while figures 15a to d show the second lever with rivet 8 included therein from the side of the second leg 427 in the same positions.
[0112] Figures 14a and 15a show the rivet 8 in its first position with the locking mechanism engaged. Figures 14b and 15b show the rivet 8 in its disengaged position.
[0113] Figures 14c and 15c show the position of rivet 8 released from the detent after displacement of the rivet into a different partial cylinder mounting contour.
[0114] Figures 14d and 15d show the locked position of rivet 8 after displacement of the rivet into the other partial cylinder mounting contour.
[0115] The use of such a guide fitting 1 takes place, for example, in a furniture or household appliance element 10, as shown in Figures 18 to 21.
[0116] Such a furniture or household appliance element 10, in particular in the form of a shelf or a rack with at least one storage level, has a stationary support body 11 and a body part 12 which is mounted to be movable translationally and rotationally relative to the support body 11 and which has at least one storage surface 15.
[0117] The guide fitting 1 arranged between support body 11 and body part 12 enables a translational-rotational movement of the body part 12 relative to a support plate 13 of the support body 11 from a starting position, shown in Figure 12, into one or more intermediate positions, shown in Figures 19 and 20 and further into an opening position, as exemplified in Figure 21.
[0118] In the intermediate positions, the body part 12 is rotated relative to the support plate 13 in a rotational direction R1, R2 and shifted in a predetermined translational direction A. Reference numeral list
