Description

[0001] Furniture and methods for mounting a flap fitting

[0002] The invention relates to a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for mounting a flap fitting on a furniture body of a piece of furniture.

[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] 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 panel of a cabinet below the top panel. Two such fittings are used on each side panel to guide the cabinet flap. Even though the housing is cassette-shaped and narrow, the flap fitting prevents flexible partitioning of the cabinet's interior, for example, because intermediate shelves or similar elements for interior organization cannot be used in the area of ​​the flap fitting. Furthermore, the flap fitting is fully visible when the flap is open, which may be considered a nuisance.

[0006] 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.

[0007] Attaching the flap fitting to the top of the furniture body has the further disadvantage that the mounting screws used to attach the flap fitting to the top may be very difficult to access, especially if there is little space available above the flap fitting due to other furniture, a low ceiling height or cornice moldings.

[0008] Dismantling the flap fitting or retrofitting an electric drive is therefore extremely complex or often not even possible.

[0009] Furthermore, attaching a flap fitting directly to the top surface also has the disadvantage that the top surface sags due to the weight of the flap fitting and the panel attached to it.

[0010] The object of the present invention is to provide a piece of furniture with a flap fitting that can be mounted and dismounted on the furniture body in an alternative manner.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple method for mounting a flap fitting on a furniture body.

[0012] The problem is solved by a piece of furniture with the features of claim 1 and by a method with the features of claim 11.

[0013] The furniture according to the invention comprises a furniture body, a flap associated with the furniture body which, in a closed position, at least partially covers a front of the furniture body, and at least one flap fitting for opening and closing the flap, with which the flap is attached to the furniture body. The flap fitting comprises a fitting housing attached to the furniture body and a mounting element attached to the flap.

[0014] The furniture further comprises at least one mounting body attached to a side wall or an overhang of the furniture body above the top surface, to which the fitting housing for attaching the flap fitting to the furniture body can be detachably attached by sliding it on or in in a sliding direction.

[0015] The furniture also features a pressure device that allows the fitting housing to be pressed against the top of the furniture body.

[0016] Mounting the fitting housing via the mounting rail allows for subsequent removal of the flap fitting in any installation position.

[0017] The pressure device prevents the fitting housing from detaching from the top surface during operation of the flap and then touching it again, as the pressure device permanently presses the fitting housing against the top surface of the furniture body.

[0018] Pressing the fitting housing onto the top surface also prevents deformation of the flap fitting, which would result in a stiff mechanism of the flap fitting and would therefore require more force to operate the flap fitting.

[0019] At the same time, deformation of the top surface is reduced, as part of the weight of the flap fitting and the flap held on it is transferred into the side wall or the overhang of the furniture body.

[0020] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0021] According to an advantageous embodiment, the pressure device is arranged on the mounting body or the flap fitting.

[0022] According to an advantageous embodiment, the pressure device has a pressure element that can be slid onto a contour of the flap fitting or the mounting body. This enables the fitting housing to be pressed against the top surface of the furniture carcass during the mounting of the flap fitting on the mounting body.

[0023] The pressure plate has the advantage that tolerance deviations between holes in the side wall or the overhang of the furniture body and the top of the top panel can be compensated for, since the pressure plate allows the flap fitting to be pressed variably towards the top panel depending on the distance to the top panel.

[0024] According to an advantageous embodiment, the pressure device is spring-loaded and slidably mounted on the mounting body or on the flap fitting in the sliding direction.

[0025] This allows for easy adjustment of the distance to be overcome between the underside of the flap fitting and the top surface.

[0026] According to an advantageous embodiment, the pressure device has a base body on which a first locking element is arranged, for example in the form of a spring arm extending from the base body with a locking lug arranged on it.

[0027] This allows for a simple spring-loaded pressure on the pressure device in the sliding direction by adjusting the pressure device during installation on the flap fitting.

[0028] According to an advantageous embodiment, the flap fitting has a second locking element that interacts with the first locking element in an intermediate mounting position of the flap fitting. The second locking element can, for example, be designed as a locking window provided in an outer wall of the fitting housing facing the mounting body, for receiving the locking lug in an intermediate mounting position of the flap fitting.

[0029] Alternatively, a locking window can be provided in the outer wall of the mounting body facing the flap fitting to receive the locking lug in an intermediate mounting position of the flap fitting. The outer wall of the mounting body also has a receiving window for the locking lug in a final mounting position of the flap fitting. The advantage of this sequence control is that it guarantees easy sliding on and off, while maintaining a shallow angle at the pressure plate so that the flap fitting remains in constant contact with the floor even under load.

[0030] According to a further advantageous embodiment, the pressing device has at least one ramp and the mounting body or the flap fitting has a counter web, wherein, when the ramp is pushed onto the counter web, the pressing device can be deflected at least section by section perpendicular to the sliding direction away from the outer wall of the fitting housing.

[0031] This makes it easy to unlatch the two locking elements (in the above-mentioned preferred embodiment, to unlatch the locking lug from the locking window) during the assembly of the flap fitting.

[0032] 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.

[0033] This allows the mounting body to be attached to either the left or right side wall of the furniture body.

[0034] It is also conceivable to construct the mounting body in a mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to a vertical mirror plane.

[0035] This variant also allows the mounting body to be attached to both the left and right side walls of the furniture body.

[0036] In another embodiment, the pressure element acts on a contour with a substantially vertical force component, whereby, depending on the arrangement, the force components act in the direction of the top surface or against the direction of the top surface.

[0037] Furthermore, the pressure part preferably has a contact surface which is designed as an inclined plane and / or as a curved track.

[0038] According to another design variant, a force in the sliding direction acts on the pressure device in the final assembly position of the flap fitting, and the vertical force component in the direction of the top surface or against the direction of the top surface can be generated by force redirection using the pressure part.

[0039] The inventive method for mounting a flap fitting on a furniture body of a piece of furniture as described above above a top panel of the furniture body comprises the following method steps.a) Attaching a mounting body to a side panel or overhang of the furniture carcass; b) Sliding the flap fitting onto the mounting body in a sliding direction until a first locking element of a pressure device interacts with a second locking element of the pressure device; c) Pre-tensioning the pressure device by further sliding the flap fitting in the sliding direction, engaging one of the locking elements; d) Releasing the first locking element from the second locking element by disengaging the locking elements of the pressure device through further sliding of the flap fitting in the sliding direction; e) Securing the flap fitting to the mounting body in a functional position; f) Pressing the flap fitting against the top of the furniture carcass by means of a pressure element against a contour of the flap fitting or the mounting body by releasing the pressure device.

[0040] This method makes it easy to mount the flap fitting over the mounting body and at the same time to simply press the flap fitting onto the top of the furniture body in a single sliding motion.

[0041] Preferred embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show:

[0062] 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.

[0063] In Figure 1, reference numeral 1 designates an embodiment of a piece of furniture according to the invention. The furniture 1 comprises a furniture body 2 with two side walls 21 and a top panel 22 arranged between the side walls 21, 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] The flap fitting 4 itself, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, 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.

[0066] The fitting housing 41 and the mounting element 42 are pivotably connected to each other and guided to move relative to each other, preferably via a single joint or a multi-joint, wherein the flap 3 is pivotable about an imaginary pivot axis arranged in the upper area of ​​the furniture body 2, which runs essentially horizontally.

[0067] The flap fitting 4 is not directly attached to the furniture carcass 2, but rather via a mounting body 5 attached to the furniture carcass 2. This mounting body is attached to one of the side walls 21 or to a projection 211 of the furniture carcass 2 above the top panel 22 of the furniture carcass 2. The fitting housing 41 can be locked into a functional position by means of a locking unit 6 on the mounting body 5 to secure the flap fitting 4 to the furniture carcass 2. As shown in Figure 3, the locking unit 6 has a base body 62 that is held in receptacles on the mounting body 5.

[0068] 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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 47 on the fitting housing 41 provided for this purpose.

[0071] As further illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the mounting body 5 has an adjustment device 7 at its end near the front 23 of the furniture body 2 for adjusting the flap fitting 4 relative to the furniture body 2 in at least one spatial direction. The adjustment device 7 allows for simple manual adjustment of the flap 3, preferably by a user's finger.

[0072] The adjustment device 7 preferably has a depth adjustment wheel 73 rotatable about a horizontal axis for adjusting the flap fitting 4 in the sliding direction Z and a side adjustment wheel 72 rotatable about the same axis and movable along the axis B for adjusting the flap fitting 4 in the direction X.

[0073] The flap 3 is preferably adjusted by adjusting a mounting body part 52, which is movable relative to a mounting body base part 51 attached to the side wall 21 of the furniture carcass 2 by means of the adjustment device 7. The mounting body part 52 is fixed to the fitting housing 41. The mounting body base part 51 is preferably attached to one of the side walls 21 of the furniture carcass 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.

[0074] As further shown in Figures 3 to 5, the mounting body 5 has a pressing device 8. The pressing device 8 serves to actively press the flap fitting 4 onto the top surface 22 of the furniture body 2.

[0075] The pressing device 8 is preferably designed such that the forces required to slide the flap fitting 4 onto the mounting body 5 only need to be increased to a very small extent.

[0076] This ensures both easy installation and maximum security when the flap fitting 4 is locked.

[0077] By actively pressing the flap fitting 4 onto the top surface 22 of the furniture body 2, a surface load is preferably generated, whereby a possible bearing surface over the length of the flap fitting can be used.

[0078] It is also conceivable in principle to arrange the pressure device 8 on the flap fitting 4.

[0079] As can be clearly seen in Figure 5, the pressure device 8 has a base body 81 which is slidably mounted in the mounting body 5 in the sliding direction Z. A pressure element 82 is fixed to both a top and a bottom surface of the base body 81 of the pressure device 8. This pressure element 82 can be slid onto a contour 43 of the flap fitting 4, as illustrated by way of example in Figures 21 and 22. Here, the pressure element 82 is designed as a wedge. Alternatively, the pressure element 82 can also be designed differently, e.g., as a pressure roller. The pressure element 82 is guided in a recess 54 of the mounting body part 52.

[0080] It is also conceivable, in principle, to attach such a pressure element 82 only to the underside of the base body 81. The embodiment of the pressure device 8 shown here is designed so that the pressure device 8 can be used in a mounting body 5 attached to the left or right side of the furniture carcass 2.

[0081] The pressure device 8 is spring-loaded and slidably mounted on the mounting body 5 in the sliding direction Z. For this purpose, the base body 81 has a force storage receptacle 84 in which a force storage device 87 is received. The force storage device 87 is designed here as a compression spring.

[0082] The energy storage device 87 is supported on one side by the energy storage device receptacle 84 and on the other side by a counter bearing 55 attached to or integrally formed with the mounting body 5. Alternatively, the energy storage device 87 can also be designed as a tension spring. The essential feature of this design is that the energy storage device 87 generates a force acting in the opposite direction to the mounting direction of the flap fitting 4.

[0083] The pressure device 8 further comprises a spring arm 86 extending from the base body 81, with a first detent element 83 arranged on the spring arm 86, which in the illustrated embodiment is designed as a detent lug.

[0084] The fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 has an outer wall 44 close to the mounting body 5, with a second locking element 45, designed as a locking window in the illustrated embodiment, for receiving the first locking element 83 in an intermediate mounting position of the flap fitting 4.

[0085] This outer wall 44 of the fitting housing 41 further has a receiving window 46 spaced in the sliding direction Z from the locking window 45, which serves to receive the locking lug 83 into a final assembly position of the flap fitting 4.

[0086] As further shown in Figures 3 to 5, the pressure device 8 has at least one ramp 85 and the mounting body 5 has a counter rib 53.

[0087] This makes it easy to deflect the pressure device 8 at least partially perpendicular to the sliding direction Z away from the outer wall 44 of the fitting housing 41 when sliding the ramp 85 onto the counter web 53, thereby releasing the locking of the pressure device 8 via the locking lug 83 in the intermediate mounting position of the flap fitting 4.

[0088] The assembly of the flap fitting 4 on the furniture body 2 of the furniture 1 is described below with reference to figures 10 to 21.

[0089] First, the mounting body 5 is attached to the side wall 21 or the overhang 211 of the furniture body 2, for example by screwing it on using screws 12, as shown by way of example in figures 2 or 3.

[0090] Subsequently, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the flap fitting 4 is pushed onto the mounting body 5 from the front of the furniture body 2.

[0091] The locking lug 83 on the spring arm 86 of the pressure device 8 is first pressed into the interior of the mounting body 5 along a closed partial area of ​​the outer wall 44 of the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 until the locking lug 83 reaches the locking window 45 in the outer wall 44 of the flap fitting 4 and engages in the locking window 45, as shown in Figures 12 to 14.

[0092] The locking lug 83 of the pressure device 8, which engages in the locking window 45, creates a positive fit between the pressure device 8 and the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4.

[0093] When the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 is further inserted in the sliding direction Z, the pressure device 8 is pre-tensioned against the sliding direction Z via the energy storage device 87, as shown in Figure 16.

[0094] As the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 is further inserted in the sliding direction Z, the base body 81 of the pressure device 8 is carried along by the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 via the locking lug 83, and pressed laterally into the mounting body 5 by counter ribs 53 of the mounting body 5 via ramps 85, which are clearly visible in Figure 4. This leads to the locking lug 83 being released from the locking window 45 by deflecting at least one section of the pressure device 8 having the locking lug 83, as shown in Figures 17 and 18. The positioning of the pressure device 8 relative to the counter bars 53 is chosen such that, after the locking lug 83 is released from the locking window 45, a locking pawl 63 of the locking unit 6 engages in a recess provided in the outer wall 44 of the fitting housing 41 and thereby locks the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 in the sliding direction z relative to the mounting body 5.

[0095] By releasing the locking lug 83 from the locking window 45, the pressure device 8 is advanced against the sliding direction z by releasing the energy storage device 87.

[0096] The locking lug 83 reaches the receiving window 46 in the outer wall 44 of the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4.

[0097] Furthermore, during this forward movement of the pressure device 8, the lower pressure part 82 is pushed onto the horizontally extending contour 43 of the fitting housing 41, which leads to the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 being pressed against the top surface 22 of the furniture body 2, as is shown by way of example in Figures 6b, 22 and 23.

[0098] The pressure element 82 acts on the contour 43 with a substantially vertical force component, whereby, depending on the arrangement, the force component is directed towards the top surface 22.

[0099] In the variant not shown here, in which the pressure device 8 is arranged on the flap fitting 4, the pressure element 82 acts accordingly with a substantially vertical force component against the direction of the top surface 22 on a contour of the mounting body 5 in order to press the fitting housing 41 of the flap fitting 4 against the top surface 22 of the furniture body 2.

[0100] The pressure part 82 has a contact surface which, as shown by way of example in Figures 5 and 22, is designed as an inclined plane and / or as a curved track.

[0101] In the final assembly position of the flap fitting 4, a force acts on the pressure device 8 in the sliding direction z. The vertical force component in the direction of the top panel 22 or against the direction of the top panel 22 is generated by force redirection using the pressure element 82. The force storage element 87 is not completely relaxed even after the fitting housing 41 has come to rest on the top panel 22 of the furniture carcass 2, so that even when the flap fitting 4 is actuated during the opening or closing of a storage compartment of the furniture 1, which can be closed by the flap 3 and during which the forces acting on the fitting housing change during the movement, the fitting housing 41 is always pressed against the top panel 22 of the furniture carcass 2.

[0102] Depending on the tolerance between the top surface 22 of the furniture body 2 and screw holes in the side wall 21 or the overhang 211 of the furniture body 2, the flap fitting 4 performs a minimal rotational movement about an axis of rotation extending in the direction X and thus ensures that the flap fitting 4 rests on the top surface 22 of the furniture body 2 at least in the area of ​​a front edge.
