Description

[0001] Furniture and methods for mounting a furniture door to a furniture carcass

[0002] The present invention relates to a piece of furniture comprising a furniture body, a furniture door for covering an opening in the furniture body, at least one first multi-joint hinge which is fixed to the furniture body or to a device body arranged in the furniture body with a base part, wherein a device door is associated with the device body which is held on the furniture door, and on which a first hinge part is pivotably held via a first multi-joint mechanism, which is fixed to the furniture door and / or to the device door, and a guide hinge which is fixed to the furniture body with a side part, on which a second hinge part is pivotably held via a second multi-joint mechanism, and a method for mounting a furniture door on a furniture body.

[0003] For mounting a door on a household appliance, it is known from DE 10 2021 203 162 A1 to fix a base part of a multi-joint hinge to an appliance body in order to pivot a hinge part via a multi-joint mechanism. A support element is fixed to a furniture body to prevent the hinge from sagging when opening and closing. This allows the hinge to withstand higher loads, for example, from objects in the appliance door. However, the support element only becomes effective when a sagging movement occurs, so the support depends on the weight of the door.

[0004] From EP 2 715 021 B1, a hinge is known in which two hinge parts are pivotally connected to each other. A height adjustment device is arranged on one of the hinge parts so that the position of the furniture door can be adjusted vertically. Such a single-joint hinge is not suitable for (built-in) household appliances. Another hinge with an adjustment device is disclosed in EP 1 106 763 B1.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the present invention to create a piece of furniture and a method for mounting a furniture door on a furniture body that enables improved storage of the furniture door even under high weight loads on the furniture door.

[0006] This problem is solved by a piece of furniture having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 16. The furniture according to the invention comprises a furniture body, a furniture door for covering an opening in the furniture body, at least one multi-joint hinge which is fixed to the furniture body and / or to a device body arranged in the furniture body with a base part, and on which a first hinge part is pivotably held via a first multi-joint mechanism, which is fixed to the furniture door and / or to a device door associated with the device body on which the furniture door is held, and a guide hinge which is fixed to the furniture body with a side part, on which a second hinge part is pivotably held via a second multi-joint mechanism.The second hinge part is held on the furniture door by an adjustment device for adjusting its position relative to the door, and the relative position of the first hinge part to the furniture or appliance door remains constant in at least one adjustment direction in the final assembly position. The adjustment device thus allows the position of the second hinge part relative to the furniture door to be adjusted even in the assembled position, enabling it to be tensioned relative to the door, particularly to bear higher weight loads. The adjustment device therefore allows for better distribution of weight loads acting on the furniture door, thereby reducing the loads on the at least one multi-joint hinge.

[0007] The guide hinge is preferably pre-tensioned vertically relative to the at least one multi-joint hinge. The guide hinge can be pre-tensioned downwards towards the multi-joint hinge via the connection of the furniture door. In the mounted position, the at least one multi-joint hinge is fixed to the furniture door or appliance door, so that adjusting the adjustment device on the guide hinge essentially only changes the pre-tension, but does not move the furniture door vertically, or only minimally.

[0008] The first multi-joint hinge can be designed as a hinge of various types, e.g., as a further guide hinge, furniture hinge, or appliance hinge. The multi-joint hinge is thus designed in a first design type. Various combinations of guide hinge and first multi-joint hinge can therefore be implemented depending on the application. The guide hinge can be designed differently in a second design type or also in the first design type. The at least one multi-joint hinge preferably differs from the guide hinge in at least one feature of its structural form, and this at least one feature includes the geometry of the base part compared to the side part, the geometry of the hinge part, the number of springs, and / or the number of dampers. This allows the multi-joint hinge and the guide hinge to be designed for different functions in controlling the movement of the furniture door.For example, the base part of at least one multi-joint hinge may have a higher load-bearing capacity against the weight of the furniture door than the side part of the guide hinge. Such increased load-bearing capacity can be achieved through a stronger material, such as a thicker metal sheet, profiling, more mounting positions for fasteners, and / or a larger dimension of the base part.

[0009] Preferably, the side part of the guide hinge is attached to the side panel of the furniture carcass. If the first multi-joint hinge is designed as a furniture hinge, the base part is attached to a side panel of the carcass and typically includes adjustment mechanisms. If the first multi-joint hinge is designed as an appliance hinge, the base part is preferably fixed to an end panel of an appliance carcass. In addition to the connection to the appliance carcass, a further connection to the side panel of the furniture carcass can advantageously be made.

[0010] Preferably, the adjusting device can adjust the second hinge part relative to the furniture door in a vertical direction. This allows the adjusting device to be used specifically to reduce the vertical weight loads acting on the at least one multi-joint hinge, whereby an adjustment at a certain angle to the vertical, for example less than 20°, has a similar effect. The adjustment therefore does not have to be exactly in a vertical direction.

[0011] Preferably, the first hinge part is fixed to the furniture door or appliance door and cannot be adjusted vertically relative to it. The tensioning of the furniture door is thus achieved exclusively via the adjustment device on the guide hinge. For stepless adjustment, the adjustment device preferably comprises a rotatable adjustment element in the form of a threaded spindle, a worm gear, or an eccentric. The adjustment element is preferably self-locking, so that the set position is maintained even under load.

[0012] For secure guidance of the second hinge part, the adjustment device preferably comprises a mounting plate fixed to the furniture door and an adjustment element slidably held on the mounting plate, to which the second hinge part is attached. The adjustment element can be designed as a plate, for example made of a bent sheet metal, to which the second hinge part is fixed by screws or other fasteners. Rivets, strips, or other guide elements could be provided to guide the adjustment element.

[0013] The side panel of the guide hinge is preferably fixed to a side wall of the furniture carcass by means of one or more spacers. The furniture carcass can be made of panels, particularly wood-based materials, which are used in furniture construction in varying thicknesses. The at least one spacer can compensate for a difference in thickness, for example, if the at least one multi-joint hinge is fixed to a device housing, while the guide hinge is mounted to the side wall of the furniture carcass. For precise positioning, at least one of the spacers can have a positioning element, such as a pin or a profile for attachment to the mounting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the first multi-joint mechanism and the second multi-joint mechanism have the same number of levers and pivot axes. The pivot axes are preferably aligned in axial extension, and the levers are of the same length, so that the movement of the first and second hinge parts, although in different vertical planes, follows the same path. This allows the furniture door to be guided optimally in its vertical orientation by the hinge parts during opening and closing.

[0015] The guide hinge is preferably mounted in a position with the second hinge part projecting upwards at an angle to the horizontal, with the second hinge part being essentially horizontally aligned by the adjusting device in the mounted position. The adjusting device tensions the second hinge part so that the pivot axes of the second multi-joint mechanism are then essentially vertically aligned. By mounting the guide hinge in a slightly inclined position, where the pivot axes are initially inclined to the vertical, the adjusting device can tension the guide hinge so that the weight of the furniture door is at least partially transferred via the guide hinge. The inclination of the pivot axes of the second multi-joint mechanism relative to the vertical can be in a range between 1° and 5° in the mounted position, preferably 2° to 3°.The hinge part is angled upwards at the same angle in the mounted position and is then clamped into a horizontal position via the adjustment device, thereby lowering it by, for example, 1 mm to 5 mm.

[0016] In a further embodiment, the cabinet body houses a household appliance, particularly a refrigerator, wherein the base part of at least one multi-joint hinge is fixed to the appliance body and / or the cabinet body, while an appliance door is fixed to the cabinet door. Preferably, at least two multi-joint hinges are fixed to the appliance body and / or the cabinet body, with the first hinge parts each being connected to the cabinet door and / or the appliance door, and the appliance door being fixed to the cabinet door. This can result in high weight loads on the cabinet door, especially in refrigerator-freezer combinations, as the door hinges may be filled with objects.

[0017] In a method according to the invention for mounting a furniture door to a furniture carcass, at least one multi-joint hinge with a base part is first fixed to the furniture carcass and / or to a device housing arranged in the furniture carcass, wherein a first multi-joint mechanism with a first hinge part is pivotably held on the base part and is fixed to the furniture door and / or to a device door associated with the device housing, and furthermore, at least one guide hinge with a side part is fixed to the furniture carcass, wherein the side part is connected to a second hinge part via a second multi-joint mechanism. An adjustment device is installed between the second hinge part and the furniture door in order to adjust the position of the second hinge part relative to the furniture door via the adjustment device, in particular in the vertical direction.This allows the hinge component to be tensioned relative to the cabinet door, so that at least some of the weight load can be transferred to the cabinet door via the guide hinge. This improves the weight distribution across the at least one multi-joint hinge and the guide hinge.

[0018] Preferably, the second hinge part is pre-tensioned downwards by adjusting the adjusting device, so that the guide hinge with the joint axes is mounted on a side wall of the furniture body at a slight angle of inclination to the vertical, in order to then compensate for this inclination by tensioning the second hinge part so that the joint axes are essentially vertically aligned in the tensioned position.

[0019] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment and the accompanying drawings. These show:

[0029] Figures 9A and 9B show two views of the guide hinge before and after the clamping of the hinge part, and Figures 10A and 10B show two views of a modified embodiment of a piece of furniture.

[0030] A piece of furniture 1 comprises a cabinet 2, which is designed, for example, as a cupboard and has at least two side walls, a base, and a top. A cabinet door 3 is pivotally mounted on one side wall of the cabinet 2. Inside the cabinet 2, an appliance housing 4 of a household appliance, for example, a refrigerator or a fridge-freezer, is arranged. An opening of the cabinet 2 can be closed by means of a cabinet door 3, and an opening of the appliance housing 4 by means of an appliance door 5, which is fixed to the cabinet door 3. For this purpose, the appliance door 5 is held on the inside of the cabinet door 3 by means of fastening devices 6. The appliance door 5 and the appliance housing 4 may have sealants and insulation necessary for sealing.

[0031] At least one multi-joint hinge 10 is fixed to the device housing 4. This hinge comprises a base part 11, a first multi-joint mechanism 12, and a first hinge part 13. The first hinge part 13 is fixed to an inside side of the furniture door 3, and the base part 11 is attached to a front side of the device housing 4 by means of fasteners. However, it is also optional or possible to fix the first base part 11 to the side wall of the furniture housing 2.

[0032] The furniture carcass 2 is further equipped with a guide hinge 20, which has a side part 21, a second multi-joint mechanism 22, and a second hinge part 23. The second hinge part 23 is held on the furniture door 3, while the side part 21 is fixed to a side wall of the furniture carcass 2.

[0033] Figures 1 and 2 show only a portion of the furniture body 2 and the device body 4 to better illustrate the invention. The size and design of the furniture body 2 and the device body 4 can be varied depending on the installed device.

[0034] Figures 1 and 2 show a combination of a guide hinge 20 and a first multi-joint hinge 10 of the type or design of appliance hinges. It is also conceivable to use the guide hinge 20 in combination with a first multi-joint hinge 10 of the type of furniture hinges or guide hinges. In Figures 1A and 1B, the furniture door 3 is shown in an open position, providing access to the furniture body 2 and the appliance body 4.

[0035] Figures 2A and 2B show a closed position of the furniture door 3, in which the opening of the furniture body 2 is covered by the furniture door 3 and the appliance door 5 on the furniture door 3 covers an opening of the appliance body 4, where appliance body 4 and appliance door 5 are only shown schematically.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first multi-joint mechanism 12 and the second multi-joint mechanism 22 are identical in construction, meaning they have the same number of pivot axes and levers between the pivot axes, so that the furniture door 3 has essentially the same path of movement in the area of ​​the multi-joint hinge 10 and in the area of ​​the guide hinge 20. Such multi-joint mechanisms are described, for example, in EP 2 129 852 B1, to which reference is hereby made. A spring system and / or a damper system may also be optionally provided in the respective multi-joint mechanism. The multi-joint mechanism 12, 22 is preferably designed as a seven-joint mechanism with four levers, but can also be designed as a four-joint mechanism. The guide hinge 20 may also optionally be equipped with or without a spring system and / or a damper system.

[0037] Two multi-joint hinges 10 are shown on the device body 4, but optionally more than two multi-joint hinges 10 can also be provided.

[0038] Figures 3A and 3B show the guide hinge 20 in detail. In the area of ​​the side panel 21, the guide hinge 20 includes a cover 27 that conceals the mechanical fastening of the side panel 21 to the furniture body 2. As shown in Figure 3B, web-shaped tabs 24 protrude from the side panel 21, into which fasteners 25 in the form of screws or dowels are inserted. The side panel 21 can lie directly against the side wall of the furniture body 2; however, optionally one or more plate-shaped spacers 26 are provided so that the position of the side panel 21 can be varied depending on the thickness of the furniture panel on the furniture body 2. In addition, the spacers 26 can compensate for a distance between the at least one multi-joint hinge 10 and the furniture body 2, since the multi-joint hinge 10 is preferably fixed to the device body 4 and / or the furniture body 2 by means of fasteners.

[0039] An adjustment device 30 is arranged on the second hinge part 23. In the assembled position, the adjustment device 30 is positioned between the furniture door 3 and the second hinge part 23 and comprises a mounting plate 31 and an adjustment element 32, which is slidably held on the mounting plate 31. The adjustment element 32 is fixed to the second hinge part 23 by means of one or more fasteners 35, in particular screws. The mounting plate 31 is fixed to the furniture door 3 by means of fasteners 29, for example screws, the fasteners 29 passing through openings 33 in the mounting plate 31.

[0040] The adjusting device 30 comprises an adjusting mechanism 34 by means of which the adjusting element 32 can be displaced in a vertical direction relative to the mounting plate 31. The adjusting device 30 is concealed by a cover 28, so that the actuating elements of the adjusting device 30 are not visible in the mounted position.

[0041] Figures 4A and 4B show the guide hinge 20 with the adjusting device 30 without the covers 27 and 28. In the assembled position, the adjusting element 32 is fixedly connected to the second hinge part 23, so that the position of the second hinge part 23 relative to the furniture door 3 can be changed via the adjusting device 30. The adjusting mechanism 34 is provided for this purpose, by means of which the adjusting element 32 can be moved relative to the mounting plate 31.

[0042] In Figures 5A and 5B, the guide hinge 20 and the adjusting device 30 are shown separately, and it can be seen that the adjusting element 32 is plate-shaped and forms a contact surface for the second hinge part 23, which is made of a U-shaped bent metal sheet and rests against the adjusting element 32 with a base section. The base of the second hinge part 23 is then screwed to the adjusting element 32 by means of fasteners 35.

[0043] Figure 6 shows the guide hinge 20 with the adjustment device 30 in a mounted position. Adjacent to the guide hinge 20 are a plurality of plate-shaped spacers 26, which are connected to each other, for example, via a film hinge, so that the installer can decide how many plate-shaped spacers 26 are to be mounted on the side panel 21. One of the plate-shaped spacers 26 has at least one positioning means 48, here in the form of a pin, which is inserted into the mounting plate 31 to establish a connection between the spacer 26 and the mounting plate 31.

[0044] Figures 7A to 7C show the adjusting device 30 in detail. In Figure 7A, the adjusting device 30 is in an upper position. The adjusting element 32 is slidably guided on the mounting plate 31 via two elongated holes 45, each elongated hole 45 being penetrated by a guide element 36 fixed to the mounting plate 31. Other guides for the adjusting element 32 can also be provided on the mounting plate 31. An actuating element 37 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 31, by means of which an adjusting element 38 is rotatable. The adjusting element 38 comprises a threaded bolt by means of which a sliding element 39 with an internal thread is movable. The sliding element 39 is designed as a pin that is held on opposite sides by tabs 40 of the adjusting element 32. The actuating element 37 has a tool insert 47.By turning the actuating element 37, the adjusting element 32 can be moved from the raised position according to Figure 7A to a lowered position shown in Figure 7C.

[0045] Figure 8 shows an exploded view of the adjusting device 30. The actuating element 37 is rotatably mounted on an opening 41 of the mounting plate 31 and drives the rotatable adjusting element 38, which has a toothed ring 46, via a toothed connection. The adjusting element 38 is rotatably but axially immovably held in two tabs 42 on the mounting plate 31. By rotating the adjusting element 38, the sliding element 39 with the internal thread is moved axially, the sliding element 39 being held by pins 44 on the tabs 40, so that the adjusting element 32 is raised or lowered. The guide elements 36 each pass through an elongated hole 45 on the adjusting element 32 and are held in an opening 43 of the mounting plate 31.

[0046] Instead of the illustrated rotatable adjustment element with a threaded spindle, a worm gear or an eccentric can also be provided to allow the adjustment element 32 to be moved relative to the mounting plate 31. Other adjustment mechanisms can also be used to effect a relative movement between the second hinge part 23 and the furniture door 3 in the vertical direction.

[0047] During the assembly of the furniture door, the guide hinge 20 is preferably mounted such that the pivot axes of the second multi-joint mechanism 22 are not aligned exactly vertically, but slightly inclined to them, with the second hinge part 23 projecting upwards at a slight angle, for example, at an angle between 1° and 5°. This position is shown in Figure 9A. After the adjustment device 30 has been mounted on the furniture door 3 and the second hinge part 23, the adjustment mechanism 34 is actuated, and the adjustment element 32 is lowered from a raised position, so that by moving the adjustment element 32 downwards, the second hinge part 23 is also lowered by tension without the furniture door 2 being moved significantly in the vertical direction. The pivot axes of the second multi-joint mechanism 22 are then essentially vertically aligned, and the hinge part 23 projects horizontally from the side panel 21, as shown in Figure 9B.The furniture door 3 was thus tensioned by the adjusting device 30, so that at least part of the weight load is transferred to the furniture carcass 2 via the guide hinge 20. Especially for furniture doors 3 that are subjected to high weight loads, for example with heavy door materials, in conjunction with a refrigerator or a fridge-freezer combination, sagging of the furniture door 3 when opening and closing, as well as in the closed position, can be avoided or limited.

[0048] Optionally, several guide hinges 20 with an adjustment device 30 can also be provided between furniture body 2 and furniture door 3.

[0049] Figures 10A and 10B show a modified piece of furniture 1, comprising a furniture body 2 with at least two side walls, in which a furniture door 3 is pivotably mounted on one of the side walls. Unlike the first embodiment, no appliance housing 4 is arranged within the furniture body 2. At least one multi-joint hinge 10 is fixed to the furniture body 3, comprising a base part 11, a first multi-joint mechanism 12, and a first hinge part 13, which is fixed to an inner side of the furniture door 3. The first multi-joint hinge 10 is here designed as a guide hinge. A guide hinge 20 is also fixed to the furniture body 2, which is designed as in the first embodiment and comprises a side part 21, a second multi-joint mechanism 22, and a second hinge part 23.An adjustment device 30 is mounted on the guide hinge 20. This device is positioned between the furniture door 3 and the second hinge part 23 and comprises a mounting plate 31 and an adjustment element 32, which is slidably held on the mounting plate 31. As in the previous embodiment, the adjustment device 30 can be clamped to the furniture door 3 to transfer some of the weight load from the furniture door 3 to the guide hinge 20. In contrast, the first hinge part 13 is fixed to the furniture door 3 in a vertically fixed position, and no relative movement occurs between the first hinge part 13 and the furniture door 3 in the final assembly position.
