Description

[0001] Fitting for corner cabinets with improved storage and corresponding corner cabinet

[0002] The present invention relates to a fitting for corner cabinets, in particular kitchen corner cabinets, and to a corner cabinet provided with the corresponding fitting.

[0003] The fitting is designed for corner cabinets with an approximately rectangular interior, accessible from the front via a corner cabinet door, covering about half of the interior. The fitting comprises at least one shelf, at least one support bearing that can be positioned inside the corner cabinet near the door opening on the side wall that defines the door opening, and at least one linkage that is pivotally mounted on the underside of the shelf about a first vertical axis and on the support bearing about a second vertical axis. The shelf can be moved from an inward position to an outward position in which it projects beyond the plane of the corner cabinet door opening.In a view parallel to a surface of the shelf, the support bearing has an upper bearing point arranged above the link and a lower bearing point arranged below the link, via which the link is pivotably arranged on the support bearing about the vertical pivot axis.

[0004] A suitable fitting for corner cabinets is, for example, from EP 1 949

[0005] 817 B1, DE 10 2010 007 130 A1 or WO 2023 / 202104 A1. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved fitting, in particular a fitting that is more durable. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a corresponding corner cabinet.

[0006] In the fitting according to the invention, the problem is solved by arranging the upper bearing point, viewed parallel to the shelf's support surface, at least partially above the support surface of the shelf supported by the linkage. Because the upper bearing point is arranged at least partially above the support surface of the shelf supported by the linkage, the bearing can better absorb loads applied to the shelf and transmitted to the bearing via the linkage. This increases the load-bearing capacity and ease of assembly of the fitting.

[0007] The upper and lower bearing points of the support bearing are assigned to the same linkage. This arrangement allows for a better distribution of the linkage forces to the support bearing.

[0008] Once installed, the shelf is fitted into the corner cabinet and is fully functional; that is, it can be pulled out and pushed back in. Specifically, the shelf has a base and a railing. Items such as bottles, pots, glasses, etc., can be placed on the base. The shelf's surface area

[0009] The shelf is the surface of the top of the shelf's base. Specifically, the railing is attached to the shelf at a distance above the shelf surface. The railing prevents items from falling off.

[0010] Preferably, the fitting is designed such that the positioning of the support bearing is only possible at predefined, different heights. This further simplifies the installation of the fitting.

[0011] Preferably, the upper bearing point is designed to primarily absorb tensile loads. By positioning the upper bearing point at least partially above the support surface of the shelf supported by the linkage, the upper bearing point is primarily subjected to tensile loads. The bearing in the area of ​​the upper bearing point can be adapted to this load case particularly easily. The fitting can thus be manufactured with particular simplicity.

[0012] Preferably, the lower bearing point is designed to primarily absorb compressive loads. The lower bearing point of the support bearing can be designed accordingly to absorb these compressive loads particularly well. In this way, a particularly robust fitting can be obtained in a simple manner.

[0013] Preferably, the support bearing can be fixed to the side wall at different heights without tools. This allows for easier assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the distance between the upper end of the upper bearing and the lower end of the lower bearing is at least 15%, preferably at least 20%, and particularly at least 25%, of the distance between the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis. The load of the shelf acts on the support bearing with a lever arm corresponding to the distance between the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis. The force exerted on the linkage by the shelf causes a corresponding torque that must be absorbed by the support bearing. By ensuring that the distance between the upper end of the bearing and the lower end of the bearing is at least 15%, preferably at least 20%, and particularly at least 25%, of the distance between the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis, a sufficiently long lever arm is provided in the area of ​​the support bearing. The forces acting on the upper and lower bearings, respectively, are thus...The forces required by the upper or lower bearing point to generate a torque opposing the torque applied by the steering linkage are smaller the greater the distance between the upper end of the upper bearing point and the lower end of the lower bearing point is relative to the distance between the first and second pivot axes. This reduces the load on the bearing, thus enabling a simple and more robust fitting.

[0015] Preferably, the lower end of the upper bearing point is positioned above the surface of the shelf supported by the linkage. The upper bearing point is thus not only partially, but completely, positioned above the surface of the shelf supported by the lower linkage. This arrangement of the upper bearing point also allows the linkage to be positioned closer to the shelf. The installation space occupied by the fitting can be minimized, providing more space for items to be placed on the shelf.

[0016] Preferably, the support bearing is designed such that the steering linkage can be detached from the support bearing without tools. A suitably designed fitting can be mounted in a particularly simple manner.

[0017] Preferably, the linkage is rigidly connected to an axle element. The axle element can then form the second vertical pivot axis. This second pivot axis can then be arranged, in particular, on the side wall of the corner cabinet. In particular, the axle element is arranged in the support bearing when assembled. Most preferably, the linkage has the axle element at its end located in the support bearing. The axle element is arranged in the support bearing such that it interacts with the upper and lower bearing points of the support bearing. By using a linkage with a corresponding axle element, the fitting can be implemented in a particularly simple manner.

[0018] The fitting can have two or more shelves. In this case, a link is provided for each shelf, pivotally mounted on a support bearing about a second vertical pivot axis. These links can each be pivotally mounted in a support bearing with an upper and a lower bearing point. Alternatively, the fitting can also have a support bearing for two or more links. Such a support bearing for two or more links then has a corresponding number of upper and lower bearing points, with each link being assigned an upper bearing point and a lower bearing point of the same support bearing.

[0019] In control arms equipped with an axle element, the assignment of the upper and lower bearing points to the respective control arm can be achieved via the axle element located on that control arm. The axle element is mounted in one of the upper and one of the lower bearing points of the support bearing, with the upper and lower bearing points forming a bearing pair to accommodate the axle element. This arrangement allows for a better distribution of the forces from the control arm to the support bearing.

[0020] In particular, the upper bearing point is open at the bottom. The axle element can be easily inserted, mounted, or inserted through the lower opening of the upper bearing point.

[0021] Preferably, the upper bearing point has a distance from the handlebar that is at least equal to the height of the portion of the lower bearing point facing the handlebar. This distance between the handlebar and the upper bearing point allows for vertical movement of the axle assembly. This vertical movement facilitates the insertion or removal of the lower part of the axle assembly into the lower bearing point. Preferably, the lower bearing point includes a portion facing the handlebar as a bearing point for the handlebar component. In particular, this bearing point is lower than the side of the lower bearing point opposite it. This lower height makes inserting the lower part of the axle assembly into the lower bearing point easier.

[0022] Preferably, the handlebar bearing point and the side of the lower bearing point opposite the handlebar bearing point fully encircle the lower part of the axle element. In particular, the lower bearing point can be open at the bottom. In this case, the handlebar would rest on the handlebar bearing point and perform the rotational movements. It is especially preferred that the lower bearing point be closed at the bottom. This has the advantage that the axle element rests on the lower bearing point with its underside, thereby distributing the force over a larger area than the handlebar bearing surface.

[0023] In particular, the supporting element has a free space that is completely enclosed by the upper bearing point. The enclosed free space may, but need not, be closed at the top.

[0024] Preferably, the axle element extends to below the top surface of the shelf's railing. In particular, the upper bearing point is located near the shelf's railing. "Near the railing" is defined as a distance dimensioned such that the upper bearing point can accommodate the axle element, and that a clearance above the axle element, at the level of the linkage bearing point, is provided with additional variable clearance for easy insertion of the axle element.

[0025] The axle element can have a round cross-section. It can be designed as a solid bearing pin or as a hollow bearing tube.

[0026] Preferably, the support bearing has a recess on the opposite side from the upper bearing point. This recess facilitates easier insertion and removal of the axle element. The axle element can thus be inserted into the support bearing in a tilted position and does not need to be inserted or installed in an almost upright position. Removal is also easier because the axle element has some play at the upper bearing point when unloaded and is not clamped as tightly.

[0027] The linkage preferably has a link arm that is arranged off-center on the axle element. In particular, the link arm is offset on the axle element in the direction of the lower support bearing. This allows for the simple provision of a fitting in which the linkage is mounted in a support bearing where the upper bearing point is located at least partially, preferably completely, above a surface of the shelf supported by the linkage. Furthermore, the overall height of the fitting can be reduced by a corresponding asymmetrical arrangement of the linkage arm. In particular, the distance between the lower bearing point and the surface of the shelf supported by the linkage can be easily reduced. A fitting with a compact height allows taller items to be placed inside a corner cabinet fitted with the fitting, especially on the shelf of the fitting.

[0028] Preferably, the fitting is designed such that the axle element of the linkage can be removed from the support bearing by a pivoting movement about a removal pivot axis oriented perpendicular to the second pivot axis. In particular, this can be achieved by allowing the linkage, which is arranged in the support bearing via the axle element, to be lifted in the support bearing parallel to the second pivot axis until the axle element and the lower bearing point are disengaged. The upper bearing point is then designed such that the linkage and the axle element can be pivoted about a removal pivot axis oriented perpendicular to the second pivot axis. This completely removes the lower end of the axle element from the lower bearing point or from the support bearing. By a further pivoting movement and / or a downward translational movement, the axle element can then also be removed from the upper support bearing.With such a fitting, the handlebar can be attached to or detached from the support bearing particularly easily and without tools.

[0029] Preferably, the fitting includes a support rail that can be mounted near the door opening on the side wall of the corner cabinet that defines it, and via which the support bearing can be positioned at different heights on the corresponding side wall of the corner cabinet. With a fitting designed in this way, the shelf can be easily placed at different height levels within a corner cabinet.

[0030] Preferably, the fitting further comprises a support bracket that can be positioned stationary inside the corner cabinet, as well as a further linkage that pivots and supports the shelf from below. The support bracket forms a further vertical pivot axis about which the further linkage can pivot. A corresponding fitting with a support bearing and a linkage, as well as a support bracket and a further linkage, enables the simple arrangement of a shelf in a corner cabinet such that the shelf can be moved from an internal position, in which the shelf is located inside the corner cabinet, to an external position, in which the shelf projects completely or almost completely outwards beyond the plane of the corner cabinet's door opening. A fitting whose shelf, in the external position, is located completely or almost completely outside the interior of the corner cabinet is particularly easy to operate.In particular, objects can be placed on or removed from the shelf with exceptional ease. The use of a support and an additional link in addition to the bearing and link allows for a particularly simple implementation of the corresponding fitting.

[0031] With a fitting designed in this way, limiting the positioning of the support bearing to specific, predefined heights is particularly advantageous. This simplifies the correct alignment of the support bearing and the bracket, as well as the linkage and the subsequent linkage, relative to each other. A correctly mounted fitting is particularly robust and subject to less wear. The ease of installation, and consequently the load-bearing capacity and longevity of a fitting designed accordingly, are further increased.

[0032] Preferably, the support bearing has a fixing area for securing the support bearing in a corner cabinet and a bearing area, the bearing area comprising the upper and lower bearing points. The fixing area is arranged laterally to the bearing area. In principle, the lateral arrangement of the bearing area is disadvantageous because, with the asymmetrical suspension, the center of gravity is off-center. This results in forces and tilting in the fixing area, which the support bearing must compensate for. However, the lateral arrangement has the advantage that the distance between the bearing area of ​​the support bearing and the side wall of the cabinet can be kept to a minimum.

[0033] In a support bearing that has a fixed area and a storage area arranged laterally around the fixed area, the support area can be easily designed so that it can be positioned at a distance from a side wall of a corner cabinet, while the storage area is positioned as close as possible to the side wall. This allows for easy height adjustment of the support bearing. This distance is easily maintained due to the lateral arrangement.

[0034] This applies particularly to a fitting with a support rail, where the support bearing is then arranged with the fixing area on the support rail. Furthermore, the problem is solved by a corner cabinet, especially a kitchen corner cabinet, with a rectangular interior space accessible from the front via a corner cabinet door, approximately halfway through, in which a fitting as described above is arranged.

[0035] Preferably, the fitting comprises a support bearing and a link, as well as a bracket and a further link. The second vertical pivot axis formed by the support bearing is located adjacent to a side wall that defines the door opening of the corner cabinet. Additionally, the further vertical pivot axis formed by the bracket is located adjacent to the boundary of the door opening opposite the side wall. A corner cabinet in which the fitting is arranged accordingly can be designed particularly easily such that, in its open position, the shelf projects completely or almost completely outwards beyond the plane of the door opening of the corner cabinet, thus providing particularly easy access.

[0048] Parts with identical or similar effects are provided with identical reference numerals, where appropriate. Individual technical features of the embodiments described below can be combined with the features of claim 1 and with the features of individual embodiments described above to form articles according to the invention.

[0049] Fig. 1 shows a fitting 2. The fitting 2 has two shelves 4, each supported by a link 6 and a further link 8. It is also possible for the fitting 2 to have only one shelf 4, or three or four shelves 4. The links 6 and the further links 8 are each pivotally mounted on the underside of the respective shelf 4. The links 6 are each movable about a first vertical pivot axis 24. At their other ends, the links 6 are each pivotally mounted on a bearing 10 about a second vertical pivot axis 26. The further links 8 are each mounted on a support 12, which is arranged on a support column.

[0050] Fig. 2 shows a detailed view of the fitting 2 in the area of ​​the support bearing 10. The link 6 comprises a link arm 14 and an axle element 16. The link arm 14 is arranged off-center towards the lower end of the axle element 16. The axle element 16 forms the second vertical pivot axis 26. The link 6 is arranged with the axle element 16 in the support bearing 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the axle element 16 is designed as a solid bearing pin. Alternatively, the axle element 16 can also be formed by a hollow tube section. The support bearing 10 is arranged on a support rail 18, which can be fixed to a side wall of the corner cabinet.

[0051] The link 6 is connected to the axle element 16. In its assembled state, the axle element 16 is located in the support bearing 10. The upper bearing point 20 is open at the bottom. The axle element 16 is inserted, mounted, or inserted into the upper bearing point 20 through the lower opening. The lower bearing point 22 has a portion facing the link 6, designated as the link bearing point 36. The upper bearing point 20 is spaced from the link 6 at least as far as the link bearing point 36 of the lower bearing point 22. This space between the link 6 and the upper bearing point 20 allows for vertical movement of the axle element 16. This vertical movement enables the lower portion of the axle element 16 to be inserted or mounted into the lower bearing point 22.

[0052] In the exemplary embodiment, the steering link bearing point 36 has a lower height than the side of the lower bearing point 22 opposite the steering link bearing point 36. The lower height has the advantage that it facilitates the insertion of the lower part of the axle element 16 into the lower bearing point 22.

[0053] The handlebar part bearing point 36 engages with the opposite side of the lower

[0054] The lower bearing point 22 fully supports the lower part of the axle element 16. The lower bearing point 22 can be open at the bottom. In this case, the linkage 6 would rest on the linkage bearing point 36 and perform the rotational movements. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower bearing point 22 is closed at the bottom. This has the advantage that the axle element 16 rests on the lower bearing point 22 on its underside and can therefore distribute the force over a larger area than the linkage bearing surface 36.

[0055] The upper bearing point 20 of the support element has a clearance 30 which is encompassed by the upper bearing point 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the encompassed clearance 30 is covered from above. However, the encompassed clearance 30 need not be covered from above. The link 6 is rigidly connected to the axle element 16. In the illustrated embodiment, the axle element 16 extends to below the top surface of the railing 29 of the shelf 4. The upper bearing point 20 is located near the railing 29 of the shelf 4. "Near the railing 29" refers to distances dimensioned such that the upper bearing point 20 can accommodate the axle element 16, and above the axle element 16, a clearance at the level of the link section bearing point 36 is provided, with additional variable clearance for easy insertion of the axle element 16.

[0056] The support bearing 10 can be fixed at different heights on the mounting rail 18 without tools. This makes mounting the fitting 2 particularly easy. The respective shelf 4 can be easily positioned at the desired height inside a corner cabinet. The mounting rail 18 shown in the exemplary embodiment allows the support bearing 10 to be positioned at different, predefined heights. This simplifies the correct alignment of the support bearing 10 and the support 12, as well as the link 6 and the other link 8, relative to each other. The risk of the fitting 2 becoming misaligned is reduced. A correctly mounted fitting 2 is particularly robust and less susceptible to wear. Because the support bearing 10 can only be mounted at certain, predefined heights, the ease of installation, and consequently the load-bearing capacity and durability of the fitting 2, are further increased.

[0057] The support bearing 10 has an upper bearing point 20 and a lower bearing point 22. The axle element 16 rests against the upper bearing point 20. The upper bearing point 20 is designed to absorb tensile forces. In the state shown in Fig. 2, the upper bearing point 20 is located on the left side of the support bearing 10. The lower bearing point 22 is designed to absorb compressive forces. Accordingly, the support bearing 10 is reinforced in the area of ​​the lower bearing point 22 on the right side in Fig. 2.

[0058] The upper bearing point 20 is the area where the axle element 16 contacts the support bearing 10 with the section of the axle element 16 located above the steering arm 14. In the illustrated embodiment, this area is located entirely above a support surface of the shelf 4. The shelf 4 has a base and a railing. Items such as bottles, pots, glasses, etc., can be placed on the base. The support surface 28 of the shelf 4 is the surface of the upper side of the shelf's base. In the illustrated embodiment, the railing is attached to the shelf 4 at a distance above the support surface 28. The railing prevents items from falling off.

[0059] The axle element 16 extends to above the mounting surface 28 of the shelf 4.

[0060] Figure 2 shows that the axle element 16 is rigidly connected to the control arm 6. Figure 2 illustrates the axle element 16 as mounted or inserted into the support bearing 10. The axle element 16 engages the upper bearing point 20 and the lower bearing point 22. The axle element 16 is fully inserted into the lower bearing point 22.

[0061] To disassemble or detach the handlebar 6, the handlebar 6 is moved upwards with the axle element 16 until the axle element 16 no longer engages behind the lower bearing point 22. When the axle element 16 no longer engages behind the lower bearing point 22, it is only partially seated in the lower bearing point 22.

[0062] The lower bearing point 22 is accordingly the area in which the axle element 16 contacts the support bearing 10 with the section of the axle element 16 arranged below the link arm 14. Fig. 3 shows a corner cabinet with a fitting 2 attached to it. The fitting 2 in turn comprises two shelves 4. Fig. 3 shows a front view of the corner cabinet.

[0063] Fig. 4 shows a detail view from Fig. 3 in the area of ​​the support bearing 10. It can be seen how the axle element 16 of the link 6 interacts with the support bearing 10 to form the upper bearing point 20 and the lower bearing point 22. Again, it is particularly clear that the upper bearing point 20 is located above the top surface of the shelf 4 and thus above the support surface 28 of the shelf 4.

[0064] Fig. 4 is a view parallel to the mounting surface 28.

[0065] Fig. 4 shows a cross-section through the support bearing 10. The support bearing 10 has a recess on the opposite side of the upper bearing point 20. The link 6 can be moved upwards and guided through the recess shown by a pivoting movement. This is illustrated more clearly in Figures 12a to 12e, which show a view comparable to Fig. 4.

[0066] Fig. 5 shows the cabinet according to Fig. 3 in a top view.

[0067] Fig. 6 is a detailed view of Fig. 5 in the area of ​​the support bearing 10. The support rail 18, to which the support bearing 10 is attached, is visible. The second vertical pivot axis 26 is located next to the support rail 18. This allows the second vertical pivot axis 26 to be positioned particularly close to the side wall of the corner cabinet that defines the door opening and also very close to the door opening itself. The use of the support rail 18 shown in Fig. 6 makes it particularly easy to mount the support bearing 10 in the appropriate position.

[0068] Figures 7 and 8 show the linkage 6 with the linkage arm 14 and the axle element 16. Figure 8 shows that the linkage arm 14 is bent. The first vertical pivot axis 24 and the second vertical pivot axis 26 are also visible. Furthermore, Figure 8 shows the distance between the pivot axes 24 and 26. The linkage 6 shown in Figures 7 and 8 has an axle element 16 whose length is approximately 20% of the distance between the first vertical pivot axis 24 and the second vertical pivot axis 26.

[0069] Figures 9 and 10 show the support bearing 10 in two different views. It can be seen that, in addition to the receptacle for the axle element 16 of the control arm 6, the support bearing 10 has an area by which it can be fixed to the support rail 18.

[0070] The support bearing 10 has a fixing area 32 and a bearing area 34. The fixing area 32 of the support bearing 10, which in the illustrated embodiment is arranged on the support rail 18, is separated from the bearing area 34 of the support bearing 10 with the bearing points 20 and 22. The fixing area 32 of the support bearing 10 on the support rail 18 is arranged laterally to the bearing area 34 of the support bearing 10 with the upper bearing point 20 and the lower bearing point 22. This is disadvantageous with regard to the force distribution of the mounting and fixing. As can be seen in Figures 9 and 10, the center of gravity of the fixing of the support bearing 10 is thus located off-center, so that tilting of the fixing area 32 can occur. However, it has the advantage that the second pivot axis 26 can be arranged close to the side wall.

[0071] In the illustrated embodiment, the support bearing 10 is designed as a one-piece component with the fixing area 32 and bearing area 34.

[0072] The support bearing 10 is separate from the axle element 16. The support bearing 10 is a single, separate component.

[0073] In Fig. 10, the recess 38 is visible, which allows the axle element 16 to pivot about a horizontal removal pivot axis. The recess 38 is located on the opposite side of the upper bearing point 22. Additionally, the axle element 16 is moved vertically during insertion and removal. The horizontal removal pivot axis is located in a vertical plane, in which the axle element 16 no longer engages the linkage bearing point 36. Inserting and removing the axle element 16 can also be described as hooking and unhooking.

[0074] This is shown in Figures 11a) to 11d). Figure 11a) shows the support rail 18, which is arranged on a side wall of the corner cabinet that laterally defines the door opening. The support bearing 10 can be fixed at different heights on this support rail 18, as can be seen in Figure 11b). The link 6 with the axle element 16 can be inserted into the support bearing 10 fixed to the support rail 18. This state is shown in Figure 11c). Figure 11d) shows the state when the shelf 4 is also placed on the link 6 and the fitting 2 is also completed accordingly.

[0075] The insertion of the axle element 16 into the support bearing 10 is shown in Figures 12 a) to 12 e). The link 6 is initially shown pivoted about a removal pivot axis oriented perpendicular to the second vertical pivot axis 26. In this position of the link 6, an upper end of the axle element 16 can be inserted into the support bearing 10 through a recess in the support bearing 10. The link 6 is then raised so that the lower end of the axle element 16 can also be inserted into the support bearing 10. This state is shown in Figure 12 d). Figure 12 e) shows that the link 6 is subsequently lowered. In the state shown, the axle element 16, together with the support bearing 10, forms the upper bearing 20 and the lower bearing 22. The link 6 is fixed in the support bearing 10.To remove the handlebar 6 from the support bearing 10 without tools, the steps shown in Figures 12 a) to 12 e) must be carried out in reverse order.
