AT501397A1 - HINGE, ESPECIALLY FOR MOVABLE FURNITURE PARTS, WITH AN INTEGRATED DAMPER - Google Patents

Description

1

The present invention relates to a hinge, in particular for movable furniture parts, with an integrated damper and / or an integrated holder for a damper and with a fastening device for fastening at least one stop part of the hinge to a furniture part or the like.

Hinges with integrated dampers are known in the art. The damper is usually arranged in a holder integrated in the hinge. But it is also conceivable to arrange the damper directly on the hinge. To attach the stop parts of the hinge to the furniture parts are often provided screwing or expansion dowel.

Object of the present invention is to improve a generic hinge to the effect that the simplest and quickest possible assembly of furniture parts or the like is possible.

This is achieved according to the invention in that the fastening device has at least one actuating lever and the damper and / or the holder for a damper is arranged on the actuating lever.

By the actuating lever, the fastening device can be very easily and quickly, preferably manually, brought from the locked position to the unlocked position and vice versa. The arrangement of the damper and / or the holder for a damper on the actuating lever a very simple, constructed from as few parts construction is achieved. Operating lever and damper or mount for a damper are conveniently designed in one piece.

A preferred embodiment provides that the damper and / or the holder for a damper is arranged on the actuating lever, characterized in that an extension of the lever arm of the actuating lever is achieved. As a result, a particularly simple opening and closing of the fastening device with good holding forces for the attachment of the hinge in a furniture part or the like is possible. To form a lockable and entarretierbaren fastening device, it is advantageous if it has at least one expansion element for, preferably releasably, spreading in a recess in a furniture part or the like, wherein the expansion element can be actuated with the actuating lever. 56866 34 / bz

Further advantages and features will become apparent from the following description of the figures. Showing:

FIGS. 1 and 2 FIGS. 3 and 4 FIGS. 5 and 6 show an embodiment of a hinge according to the invention, a first variant of a favorable fastening device and a second variant of a favorable fastening device.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the stop parts of the hinge, as known in the prior art, designed as a hinge pot 4 and 5 Schamierarm. These are connected via articulated lever 8 with each other, pivotable relative to each other. The hinge arm 5 superimposed on an attachable with screws 7 on the furniture part 9 base plate 6. Preferably, as is well known, aufklippsbar on this. In the illustrated embodiment, the holder 1 is arranged for a damper on the operating lever 3 on the hinge pot 4. In order not to obstruct the closing movement during pivoting of the hinge pot 4 against the hinge arm 5, the actuating lever 3 has a lever recess 12, which corresponds to an inner recess 13 of the hinge cup 4 in the end position of the actuating lever 3 shown in FIG. In the holder 1, as is well known, a plunger 2 is arranged, which impinges upon pivoting of the hinge pot 4 against the hinge arm 5 before reaching the end position on the hinge arm 5. In the course of the remaining closing movement, the plunger 2 is then pressed into the holder 1. The, as known per se, arranged between the holder 1 and plunger 2, not visible here damper counteracts this movement, which leads to the desired damping effect during the closing movement. Thus, while in the illustrated embodiment a holder 1 is arranged on the actuating lever 3, it is also possible to arrange the damper directly on the lever 3. A corresponding construction would be given according to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, if the component 1 directly the cylinder of a damper and the component 2 would be a corresponding piston rod. In addition to the linear damper thus formed, of course, corresponding rotational dampers can also be arranged in the holder 1 or in the ram 2.

1 shows the holder 1 and the lever 3 in the locking position, in which the pot 4 is fastened in the furniture part 9 in a recess 11, 11 'by means of a fastening device which is shown in greater detail in the following. Fig. 2 shows the tiltable operating lever 3 in the open position in which the fastening device is not locked 3 and the hinge pot 4 in the corresponding recess 11, 11 'can be inserted or removed from this. Due to the shown, preferably one-piece, arrangement of the holder 1 on the actuating lever 3, an extension of the lever arm is achieved, which can be exercised over the holder 1 and operating lever 3 particularly large forces on the fastening device.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a first favorable variant of a releasable fastening device which can be actuated by the actuating lever 3. The cutting plane shown in these figures is outside the holder 1 for a damper, so this is not visible The fastening device shown in section is preferably formed symmetrically to the hinge pot 4 and has two Spreizeiemente 10, which laterally of the hinge cup 4 in the Möbelteii in the 9th attached recesses 11 are gespreizbar. For this purpose, the expansion element 10 has a spreader pin 15 with a conically widened end 16. The bolt 15 is guided in an expansion sleeve 14 with arranged on the outer surface teeth 17 by pivoting the actuating lever 3 of the in Fig. 3 in the position shown in Fig. 4 the expansion bolt 15 lifted, causing the expansion sleeve 14 is pressed apart and so against the wall of the recess 11 that the teeth 17 cut into the furniture part 9. The bolt 15 is pivotally connected via the pivot axis 18 with the actuating lever 3. To release the anchoring the operating lever 3 is pivoted back into the position shown in Fig. 3. If the holder 1 is arranged in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 on the actuating lever 3, then very large forces when raising and lowering the bolt 15 can be applied by the thus-improved lever arm, whereby a secure and firm anchoring in the furniture part 9 possible is.

5 and 6 show a second embodiment of a fastening device with which a stop member - such as the hinge pot 4 - can be attached to a furniture part 9. Here are essential parts of the fastening device in the same recess 11 'arranged in the furniture part 9, in which the hinge pot 4 is introduced. The centering pins 20, which also engage in recesses in the furniture part 9, ensure that the hinge pot 4 can not be rotated against the furniture part 9. The attachment itself takes place via the clamping jaws 21 and the spreading parts 22. The spreading parts 22 are pivotally connected to the actuating lever 3 via pivot axes 18. They are raised by pivoting the operating lever 3 from that shown in Fig. 5 in the position shown in Fig. 6. In this movement, the concave boundary surface 26 of the spreader 22 slides along the side wall 19 of the Schamiertopfes 4, whereby the also on the spreader 4 ················································································· 22 respectively provided hooks 23 in the side wall of the recess 11 'and thus is pressed into the furniture part 9. In addition to this spreading, the clamping jaw 21 is compressed and thereby pressed against the side wall of the recess 11 '. By a corresponding mutual spreading of the hinge cup 4, this stop member is firmly anchored in the position shown in Fig. 6 in the recess 11 'of the furniture part 9. The nose 25 of the jaw 21 engages in a notch 24 on Spreiztet! 22 and thereby prevents an undesirable relative displacement between the components 21 and 22. The holder 1 for the damper is not shown in Fig. 5, but only in Fig. 6 to see. However, their arrangement on the actuating lever 3 corresponds to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, so that in turn is extended by the holder 1, the lever arm of the actuating lever 3.

The hinge may be made of materials known in the art, preferably metal, such as die-cast. The same also applies to the actuating lever 3 and the holder 1. The expansion sleeve 14 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is preferably an elastic metal component. The jaws 21 of the second embodiment of a fastening device may be made of polyurethane or rubber, for example.

Although this is shown only in each case for the hinge pot in the embodiments, it can also be provided that both or all stop parts of the hinge can be attached without tools to a respective furniture part 9 or the like. Thus, the fastening devices shown in Figs. 3 to 6 may be provided in accordance with the shape of the hinge arm 5 adapted manner for fixing the hinge arm 5 in the furniture part 9. This then makes it possible to arrange the holder 1 for a damper and / or the damper itself to a corresponding operating lever 3 of the hinge arm.
