Abstract
Description
[0001] Furniture
[0002] The invention relates to a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0003] Furniture, especially kitchen furniture or home furniture such as base cabinets or wall cabinets, usually has a front-opening furniture body to which movable furniture parts are mounted, guided by fittings.
[0004] Especially in wall cabinets, flaps are frequently used as movable components to close the cabinet body. These flaps are supported and guided by at least one, and usually two, laterally positioned hinges. The hinges allow the flap to open upwards (pivot upwards), pivoting, for example, around an imaginary horizontal pivot axis located in the upper part of the cabinet body. Other upward opening movements of a flap are also conceivable.
[0005] The lever mechanism of the flap fitting can be designed as a multi-part, multi-jointed lever mechanism, connecting a housing of the flap fitting to a mounting element to which the flap is attached. Alternatively, the lever mechanism can be designed as a single-joint lever mechanism, connecting a housing of the flap fitting to a mounting element to which the flap is attached.
[0006] To advantageously perform a combined pivoting and sliding movement, 7-joint and 4-joint lever mechanisms have become established. In the 7-joint lever mechanism, the links are coupled to each other and to the housing or mounting element along seven joint axes. In the 4-joint lever mechanism, the links are coupled to each other and to the housing or mounting element along four joint axes. One link of the lever mechanism transmits the torque exerted by the flap in an open position to the lever mechanism. A force storage device is typically arranged in the flap fitting to counteract the torque and hold the flap in the open position.
[0007] From publication EP 0 952 290 A2, a flap fitting is known whose housing has the form of a tall but narrow cassette, which is screwed onto an inside side wall of a cabinet below the top panel. Two such fittings are used on each side wall to guide the cabinet flap. Even though the housing is cassette-shaped and only narrow, the flap fitting prevents flexible partitioning of the cabinet's interior, for example, because no intermediate shelves or similar elements for interior organization can be used in the area of the flap fitting. Furthermore, the flap fitting is fully visible when the flap is open, which may be perceived as disruptive.
[0008] Document WO 2022 / 113 021 A1 describes a flap fitting whose housing is also a flat cassette, but which, unlike the arrangement described in document EP 0 952 290 A2, can be mounted flat on the top panel of the furniture carcass. For this purpose, the top panel of the furniture carcass is preferably recessed relative to its side walls by at least the height of the cassette. The flap supported by the flap fitting is guided by a lever mechanism, which, in the described flap fitting, protrudes partially downwards from the cassette-shaped housing. To prevent the protruding lever mechanism from colliding with the top panel, recesses are required in the top panel through which the lever mechanism extends into the interior of the carcass. This detracts from the appearance and also results in a loss of storage space within the furniture carcass.
[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide a piece of furniture with a flap fitting which can be easily mounted on the furniture body and in which the flap can be easily adjusted in at least one spatial direction relative to the furniture body from at least two separate access directions.
[0010] The problem is solved by a piece of furniture with the features of claim 1.
[0011] The furniture according to the invention comprises a furniture body, a flap associated with the furniture body and which, in a closed position, at least partially covers a front side of the furniture body, and at least one flap fitting with which the flap is attached to the furniture body.
[0012] The flap fitting comprises a fitting housing attached to the furniture body and a mounting element attached to the flap. The fitting housing and the mounting element are pivotally connected to each other and guided so that they can move relative to one another, with the flap pivoting about an imaginary pivot axis located in the upper area of the furniture body and extending essentially horizontally.
[0013] The furniture according to the invention further comprises at least one mounting body attached to the furniture body, to which the fitting housing for attaching the flap fitting to the furniture body is detachably attached, wherein the mounting body has at its end near the front of the furniture body an adjustment device for adjusting the flap fitting relative to the furniture body in at least one spatial direction.
[0014] The adjustment device can be adjusted from at least two separate access directions.
[0015] With such a mounting body and such an adjustment device, easy mounting of the flap together with the flap fitting on the furniture body of the furniture is made possible.
[0016] Furthermore, the adjustment device located near the front of the furniture body on the mounting body allows for easy adjustment of the flap's orientation relative to the furniture body from various separate access directions.
[0017] The separation of the access direction for an adjustment device can be achieved, for example, by differently positioned tool engagements or by the flap itself, if, for example, an adjusting wheel can be operated from two sides of the flap.
[0018] By separating the access directions, it is possible, for example, to adjust the relative position of the flap in one direction while the flap is both closed and open. Adjusting the flap from one access direction while the flap is closed has the advantage that the user can directly see the flap's movement relative to the furniture. Alternatively, the user can open the flap and operate the adjustment mechanism from a different direction. This might be necessary, for example, if the furniture's installation does not allow adjustment from the other direction. An access direction is defined by the primary direction from which the user can operate the adjustment mechanism. Access directions can therefore be divided into the primary directions of top, bottom, side, front, and back.The main direction of access merely indicates the direction and is not limited to vertically or horizontally approaching a tool or finger. Approaching the tool or finger to the adjusting device at an angle or at various angles to the main direction of access constitutes an access direction, provided that the accessibility of the adjusting device from a main direction is not divided by the flap.
[0019] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
[0020] According to an advantageous embodiment, the adjustment device has a depth adjustment and / or a lateral adjustment and / or a height adjustment.
[0021] With this depth adjustment, the flap can be moved forwards or backwards relative to the furniture body. With the side adjustment, the flap can be moved left or right relative to the furniture body. With the height adjustment, the flap can be moved up or down relative to the furniture body.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the access directions to the adjustment device for at least one spatial direction are separated by the flap itself.
[0023] Preferably, even when the flap is closed, the relative position of the flap can be adjusted in at least one spatial direction by means of the adjustment device.
[0024] Furthermore, according to a preferred further development, the relative position of the flap in at least one spatial direction can be adjusted by means of the adjustment device even when the flap is open.
[0025] In a further advantageous embodiment, the mounting body comprises a mounting body base part attached to the side wall of the furniture carcass and at least one further mounting body part movable relative to this base part by means of the adjustment device. The fitting housing is detachably fixed to one of the mounting body parts movable relative to the mounting body base part.
[0026] The movement of at least one mounting part, made possible in this way, is transferred to the flap fitting and thus to the flap, so that no structural changes to the flap fitting itself are necessary for depth and / or side adjustment and / or height adjustment.
[0027] According to one embodiment, the adjustment device for adjustment in at least one spatial direction has at least two operating sections.
[0028] The operating sections can be operated with a tool or without tools.
[0029] In the case of tool-free operation, the operating sections are at least partially formed by a control wheel that has a contoured shape.
[0030] The contouring prevents the finger from slipping off the outer surface of the depth adjustment wheel.
[0031] In another embodiment, the pivot axis is guided in a groove of the mounting body base part extending in the longitudinal direction of the mounting body.
[0032] This allows, in a simple way, both a pivoting movement of the mounting body part relative to the mounting body base part and simultaneously a longitudinal displacement of the mounting body part relative to the mounting body base part in the depth direction.
[0033] To fix the depth adjustment wheel and the side adjustment wheel, the adjustment device, according to a preferred embodiment, has a base body arranged on the mounting body, on which the depth adjustment wheel and the side adjustment wheel are rotatably fixed.
[0034] In a variant designed for use with a tool, the base body of the adjustment device has several tool guide receptacles for guiding a tool to the crown gear teeth of the depth adjustment wheel and the side adjustment wheel. Each tool guide receptacle is assigned to a separate access direction.
[0035] According to a further embodiment of the invention, the mounting body is constructed in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to a horizontal mirror plane.
[0036] This allows the mounting body to be attached to either the left or right side wall of the furniture body.
[0037] It is also conceivable to construct the mounting body in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to a vertical mirror plane.
[0038] This variant also allows the mounting body to be attached to both the left and right side walls of the furniture body.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the at least one flap fitting is arranged above a top panel of the furniture body, and the at least one mounting body is attached to a projection, which may be formed by the side wall of the furniture body, above the top panel or also on the top of the top panel itself.
[0040] Provided the space above the furniture is freely accessible, it is possible to adjust the flap with the flap fittings relative to the furniture body even without opening the flap.
[0041] Furthermore, with this arrangement of at least one flap fitting above the top of the furniture body, it is always possible to operate the adjustment device in an open position of the flap from a front side of the furniture body that is covered by the flap in a closed position.
[0042] The adjustment mechanism is concealed by the flap in the closed position, which covers at least part of the front of the furniture body.

[0074] 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, furniture carcass, top panel, flap, flap fitting, mounting body, locking unit, and the like as chosen in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood restrictively; that is, these references may change due to different working positions, mirror-symmetrical design, or similar factors.
[0075] In Figure 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an embodiment of a piece of furniture according to the invention. The furniture 1 comprises a furniture body 2, a flap 3 associated with the furniture body 2, and at least one, or in the illustrated embodiment two, flap fittings 4 with which the flap 3 is attached to the furniture body 2.
[0076] Depending on the size and weight of the flap 3, it is also conceivable to fix the flap 3 to the furniture body 2 with only one flap fitting 4.
[0077] The flap fitting 4 itself, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, has a fitting housing 41 attached to the furniture body 2 and a mounting element 42 attached to the flap 3. In the embodiment shown here, the mounting element 42 is provided with a mounting cup which is secured in a corresponding recess in the flap 3, as shown in Figures 32 and 33.
[0078] The fitting housing 41 and the mounting element 42 are pivotally connected to each other and guided to move relative to each other, preferably via a single or multi-joint, wherein the flap 3 is pivotable about an imaginary pivot axis located in the upper region of the furniture body 2 and extending substantially horizontally. The flap fitting 4 is not attached directly to the furniture body 2, but via a mounting body 5 attached to the furniture body 2.
[0079] The fitting housing 41 for attaching the flap fitting 4 to the furniture carcass 2 can be locked into a functional position by means of a locking unit 6 on the mounting body 5. The locking unit 6 has a base body 62 that is held in receptacles of the mounting body 5.
[0080] Furthermore, a release element 61 is arranged on the mounting body 5 near the flap 3, by actuating the locking mechanism of the fitting housing 41 from the mounting body 5. The release element 61 is integrally formed on the locking unit 6.
[0081] The mounting of the flap fitting 4 on the mounting body 5 is preferably carried out by inserting the flap fitting 4 into a linear guide of the mounting body 5.
[0082] The longitudinal fixing Z is achieved via a locking pawl 63 of the locking unit 6 coupled to the release element 61, which in its rusted state is rusted into a detent recess provided for this purpose on the fitting housing 41.
[0083] As further shown, for example, in Figures 1 to 4, the mounting body 5 has at its end near the front 23 of the furniture body 2 an adjustment device 7 for adjusting the flap fitting 4 relative to the furniture body 2 in at least one spatial direction.
[0084] This adjusting device 7 is adjustable from at least two separate access directions, as shown by way of example in Figures 32 to 36.
[0085] Figures 1 to 36 show and describe essentially two different embodiments of such a mounting body 5 with an adjustment device 7 attached to it.
[0086] Figures 1 to 16, 32 and 36 describe an embodiment which allows manual adjustment of the flap 3 using the adjustment device 7, preferably by a user's finger, in a simple manner.
[0087] Figures 17 to 31 and 33 to 35 show a variant design which allows for easy adjustment of flap 3 using a tool, for example in the form of a Phillips screwdriver.
[0088] Both embodiments have in common that the adjustment device 7 in the illustrated embodiments has both a depth adjustment and a lateral adjustment.
[0089] Depending on the requirements, a design variant is also conceivable that has only a depth adjustment, only a side adjustment, only a height adjustment, or a combination of the three adjustments.
[0090] In both versions, the flap 3 is adjusted by moving a mounting body part 52 relative to a mounting body base part 51 attached to the side wall 21 of the furniture body 2 by means of the adjustment device 7. The mounting body part 52 is fixed to the fitting housing 41.
[0091] The mounting body base part 51 is preferably attached to one of the side walls 21 of the furniture body 2 by means of fastening means 12, preferably screws, preferably above a top panel 22 in the area of a projection 211 of the side wall 21 .
[0092] Both the mounting body base part 51 and the mounting body part 52 preferably have an approximately U- or C-shaped cross-section when viewed in a section plane spanned by the directions X and Y, perpendicular to the depth Z of the furniture carcass. A rear wall 523 of the mounting body part 52 faces the open side of the mounting body base part 51.
[0093] With the fitting housing 41 as part of the flap fitting 4, the flap 3 attached to the flap fitting 4 can also be adjusted in at least one spatial direction via the adjustment device 7.
[0094] As can be clearly seen in Figures 2 to 4 and further detailed in Figures 5 to 11, the depth adjustment of the adjusting device 7 has a depth adjustment wheel 73 rotatable about a horizontal axis B. A pin 77 is arranged on the surface of this depth adjustment wheel 73 facing the mounting body part 52. This pin 77 extends, as can be clearly seen, for example, in Figures 6 and 8, into a vertically extending elongated hole 521 of the second housing part 52.
[0095] When the depth adjustment wheel 73 is rotated about its axis of rotation, the circular segment movement of the pin 77 leads to a horizontal displacement of the mounting body part 52 relative to the mounting body base part 51 in a direction Z.
[0096] The direction Z corresponds to the depth of the furniture carcass 2, where the depth of the furniture carcass 2 is to be understood as the horizontal extent of the furniture carcass in the direction of the normal to the vertical front surface.
[0097] Figures 11a to 11c show, by way of example, the mounting body 5 in a neutral position (Figure 11a), in a position of the mounting body part 52 shifted 2 mm forward towards the front side 23 of the furniture body 2 (Figure 11b), and in a position of the mounting body part 52 pushed 2 mm into the interior of the furniture body 2 (Figure 11c).
[0098] As further shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment the pin 77 is fixed in a bore 732 in the depth adjustment wheel 73 which is arranged eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the depth adjustment wheel 73.
[0099] The depth adjustment wheel 73 and also the side adjustment wheel 72, which will be described further below, are rotatably attached to a base body 71 of the adjustment device 7.
[0100] The base body 71 is fixed in the X direction on the mounting body base part 51 via a threaded bolt 76, which is fixed on a rear side 511 of the mounting body base part 51 in a receptacle 512 provided for this purpose.
[0101] The threaded bolt 76 simultaneously serves as a pivot point for the side adjustment wheel 72, which is rotatable about the same horizontal axis B as the depth adjustment wheel 73. By rotating the side adjustment wheel 72, a front end of the mounting body part 52, near the front side 23 of the furniture carcass 2, can be pivoted about a pivot axis 531 provided in the area of a rear end of the mounting body base part 51.
[0102] The threaded element designed here as a threaded bolt 76 is provided with an external thread which meshes with an internal thread of a bolt receptacle 722 of the side adjusting wheel 72.
[0103] As shown in Figure 6, the side adjusting wheel 72 on the threaded bolt 76 can be adjusted along the axis B in a direction X which corresponds to the horizontal axis B.
[0104] A rotational movement of the side adjustment wheel 72 causes the depth adjustment wheel 73 and, with it, the mounting body part 52 adjacent to the depth adjustment wheel 73 to be moved along the axis B along the axial movement of the side adjustment wheel 72.
[0105] Locking lugs 723 at the end of the bolt receptacle 722 hold the side adjusting wheel 72 on an annular bracket 74 of the base body 71 .
[0106] The ring-shaped bracket 74 also has locking hooks 741 which protrude through recesses 733 of the depth adjustment wheel 73 and hold the depth adjustment wheel 73 in the direction of the horizontal axis B on the bracket 74.
[0107] Both the depth adjustment wheel 73 and the side adjustment wheel 72 are preferably provided with contours 731, 721 on their circumferential edges in order to increase the frictional grip of a user's finger 14 on the depth adjustment wheel 73 and the side adjustment wheel 72 compared to a smooth surface design of the circumferential edges.
[0108] As can be clearly seen in Figures 3 and 4, a fork 75 is formed on the base body 71, at the ends of which locking lugs 751 are formed, which engage in the contour 731 of the depth adjustment wheel 73 and thus prevent a displacement of the mounting body part 52 made by means of the depth adjustment wheel 73 from unintentionally reverting to its original position.
[0109] The pivot axis 531 is preferably formed on a u-shaped element 53 attached to the mounting body part 52 and projecting into the u-shaped profile of the mounting body base part 51 and protrudes into a groove 513 of the mounting body base part 51 extending in the depth direction Z of the mounting body 5, in order to enable movement of the mounting body part 52 towards the mounting body base part 51 during depth adjustment in the direction Z and to guide the pivoting movement during lateral adjustment.
[0110] Regarding the lateral adjustment of the mounting body part 52 relative to the mounting body base part 51, Figure 14 shows a neutral position of the two mounting body parts 51, 52.
[0111] Figure 15a shows a lateral adjustment of 2 mm, in which the mounting body part 52 is pivoted upwards away from the mounting body base part 51 in the area of the adjustment device 7.
[0112] Figure 15b shows a corresponding lateral adjustment by 2 mm in the opposite direction from the neutral position, so that the front area of the mounting body part 52 is pivoted closer to the mounting body base part 51.
[0113] Figures 16a and 16b show the mounting body 5 rotated 180° relative to each other around an imaginary axis of rotation extending in the Z direction, to illustrate the symmetrical structure of the mounting body 5.
[0114] The mounting body 5, for example, is constructed in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to a horizontal mirror plane.
[0115] It is also conceivable to construct the mounting body 5 in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to a vertical mirror plane.
[0116] Figure 17 shows an alternative embodiment of a mounting body 5, with an adjusting device 7 which can be operated using a tool 11, for example a Phillips screwdriver.
[0117] As can be clearly seen in Figure 17, the adjusting device 7 has several tool guide receptacles 78 for guiding a tool 11.
[0118] As further shown, for example, in Figure 20, the tool guide receptacles 78 are integrally formed on a base body 71' of the adjusting device 7. The orientation of these tool guide receptacles 78 is such that a tool can be inserted into the tool guide receptacles 78 through the gap between the flap 3 and the top surface 22 when the flap 3 is open, as illustrated by way of example in Figure 33.
[0119] A second pair of tool guide receptacles 78 serves to feed the tool 11 in a case where an additional shelf 24 of the furniture 1 or a superstructure is arranged above the flap fitting 4. Here, the tool 11 can be inserted into the tool guide receptacles 78 through a slot between the additional shelf 24 and the open flap 3, as shown by way of example in Figure 34.
[0120] Figure 35 shows a tool 11 in one of two further tool guide receptacles 78 on the top of the mounting body 5, thus creating the possibility to adjust the flap 3 from above in the open or closed state.
[0121] As further shown in Figures 31 a and 31 b, two additional tool guide receptacles 78 are also provided on the underside of the mounting body 5 to enable mounting of the mounting body 5 on either side of a right or left side wall 21 of the furniture carcass with the same functionality.
[0122] When the flap 3 is in its closed position, it covers, as shown in Figure 1, the adjustment device 7 from the front 23 of the furniture body 2.
[0123] As further shown in Figure 20, in this embodiment the adjusting device 7 also has a depth adjusting wheel 73' rotatable about a horizontal axis B with a pin 77 arranged eccentrically on it.
[0124] In this embodiment, the pin 77 is integrally formed on the side of the depth adjustment wheel 73' facing the mounting body part 52 and also extends into a correspondingly provided elongated hole 521 in the mounting body part 52. It is also conceivable here to design the pin 77 as a separate component and attach it to the depth adjustment wheel 73'.
[0125] The adjusting device 7 also includes a side adjusting wheel 72' rotatable about a horizontal axis B, which in this case is guided on a threaded element designed as a shaft 76' attached to the mounting body base part 51. The shaft 76' has guide tracks 761' on its outer surface, into which cams 723' projecting from a shaft receptacle 722' of the side adjusting wheel 72' engage.
[0126] As can be seen further in Figure 20, in this embodiment both the depth adjustment wheel 73' and the side adjustment wheel 72' are provided with a respective crown gear toothing 721 ', 731 ', which serves for the engagement of a tool 11 provided with a corresponding toothing radially to the axis of rotation of the depth adjustment wheel 73'.
[0127] The depth adjustment is achieved by inserting the tool 11, as shown by way of example in Figures 21 and 22, into one of the tool guide receptacles 78 on the right in Figure 20 and thereby engaging with the crown gear toothing 73T of the depth adjustment wheel 73'.
[0128] Figure 20 also shows an alternative embodiment of a locking unit 6' with a base body 62' which, instead of the release element 61 which can be operated with a finger, is provided with tool guide receptacles 6T in order to also enable the release of the mounting body 5 from the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 by means of a tool.
[0129] Figure 23 shows the mounting body 5 from above with the tool 11 inserted from above in a neutral position.
[0130] Figures 24a and 24b show the mounting body 5 in a top view and a side view after adjusting the mounting body part 52 by 3 mm deeper into the furniture body 2.
[0131] Figures 25a and 25b show corresponding representations with the mounting part 52 moved out of the furniture body 2 by 3 mm.
[0132] Figures 26 and 27 show the engagement of the tool 11 in one of the tool guide receptacles 78 for contacting the side adjusting wheel 72'.
[0133] Figure 28 shows a detailed view of the side adjusting wheel 72' and the shaft 76' with the guide tracks 761' on the cylindrical surface of the shaft 76' and the cams 723' in the shaft receptacle 722' of the side adjusting wheel 72'. Figure 29 shows the mounting body 5 in its neutral position. Figure 30a shows the mounting body 5 after a lateral adjustment of 2 mm, whereby the front end of the mounting body part 52 was pivoted 2 mm away from the mounting body base part 51. Figure 30b shows a corresponding lateral adjustment of 2 mm in the opposite direction, so that the front end of the mounting body part 52 was moved closer to the mounting body base part 51.
[0134] As can be seen in Figures 31a and 31b, this variant of the mounting body 5 is also preferably symmetrically constructed.
