Description

The present invention relates to a holding element for holding guide rails for sliding doors after Claim 1.

Guide devices for sliding doors are known in various designs. In general, such guide devices comprise a guide rail and a guide part which can be fastened on the sliding door side, such as, for. B. a roller. As for example in the EP 1 057 963 A2 shown, the guide rail there has a C-shaped fastening groove in which a fastening plug can be arranged with a head in order to fasten the guide rail in a furniture body. Such fastening of the guide rail is relatively unfriendly to assembly and leads to a complicated shape of the guide rail.

It is therefore the task of the present Invention to provide a holding element for holding guide rails of sliding doors which with a simple structure and simple inexpensive to manufacture a guide rail, especially when the sliding doors are heavy, safe holds and through which the distance between the guide rail and furniture body is easily adjustable.

This task is performed using a holding element solved the features of claim 1. Advantageous further training are the subject of the subclaims.

According to the invention is thus a holding element for holding a guide rail for sliding doors at furniture proposed, which consists of a holding part and a base part. The holding part and the base part are connected to one another in such a way that they are mutually adjustable in the axial direction of the holding element are. The holding part has a receiving area around the guide rail to keep. The base part can also be attached to a furniture body. Consequently is a holding element according to the invention provided, which is simple and a guide rail can hold securely. Next is by the holding element according to the invention an adjustment of the distance of the guide rail to the furniture body by one arranged between the holding part and the base part Adjustment device possible. An adjustment can also be made with the holding element or with the guide rail installed respectively. By this measure tolerance compensation is possible.

For a particularly simple adjustment between To enable holding part and base part of the holding element, the two parts are connected to each other by means of a thread.

To a certain setting position is to be securely fixed between the holding part and the base part preferably a lock nut is provided. This can be special preferably be designed such that they have the adjustment thread covers so that from the outside the adjustment option of the holding element is not recognizable.

In a second version of a Holding element is proposed that on the visible lock nut is waived. In this case there is a union nut that is rotatably attached to the holding part and has an internal thread, which on an external thread the base part is screwed on. To counter the holding part and thus also fixing the union nut there is a lock screw in the base part, which locks against the The base of the holding part is adjustable. In this case too adjustment of the holding element from the outside not visible. For alignment and thus correction (in the longitudinal extension) the rod contained in the holding part can be made of tolerances by means of the counter screw in the correct position.

The receiving area is preferably of the holding part circular educated. As a result, in particular a cylindrical guide rail can pass through the holding element are held.

According to another preferred The recording area is the embodiment of the present invention of the holding part formed as a part circle. Here is the pitch circle larger than a semicircle. This can prevent a cylindrical guide rail can be accidentally removed from the recording area, because the receiving area of the holding part, the guide rail by more than encompasses half of the circumference. The guide rail (Rod) can only be removed in their axial directions.

The pitch circle is particularly preferred opened in the axial direction of the holding element. This can ensure that when using casters the shift the sliding door or the roller does not run on the guide rail disturbed by the holding element becomes. if the holding element on an upper or lower surface of a furniture body is attached.

According to another preferred Embodiment of the present invention is the partial circle of the receiving area opened perpendicular to the axial direction of the holding element. Thereby can the holding element on a front area of a furniture body can be arranged without moving a roller on the Guide rail through the holding element is hindered.

In order to enable simple and secure fastening of the guide rail in the receiving area of the holding element, the guide rail is preferably fixed by means of a grub screw. This can be seen laterally or axially Happen invisible direction.

The guide rail is particularly preferred as cylindrical Rod trained.

To easily attach the To enable the base part of the holding element on a furniture body, the base part preferably has a through opening in which a Fastener, such as. B. a screw is added. This allows the base part to be easily attached to the furniture body.

Since the holding element according to the invention its structure is particularly stable, it is in particular suitable when using heavy sliding glass doors. With the previously known Holding elements is such a use of heavy sliding glass doors only conditionally possible since the full weight of a sliding glass door usually causes problems leads, especially due to the burden of moving. Likewise the holding element is suitable for vertical mounting of a rod to e.g. B. several furniture carcasses to connect with each other.

Below is with reference to the 1 to 5c a holding element according to a first embodiment of the present invention described.

As in 1 shown, for example, a guide device has two guide elements, which are cylindrical rods 6 are trained. A sliding door 1 is about four casters 3 on the poles 6 slidably mounted. The casters 3 are by means of punctiform fasteners 5 on the sliding door 1 attached. The sliding door 1 is designed as a glass door and has through openings through which the fastening elements 5 are stuck to the casters 3 to fasten. The fasteners close with the outer top of the glass pane 1 flush.

As in 1 shown are the two rods 6 such on the furniture body 2 arranged that a first rod 6 on an upper area of the furniture body 2 and a second pole 6 on a lower area of the furniture body 2 is attached. The poles 6 are by means of holding elements 7 on the furniture body 2 attached. How especially out 1 can be seen is on the top bar 6 an adjustable stop at each of its two lateral ends 13 provided for a sliding path of the sliding door 1 to limit. The stop is directly on the pole 6 fastens and limits the displacement of the rollers 3 to the right or left.

As especially in the 2a to 2e and 3a to 3d shown, the holding element 7 from three parts, namely a holding part 8th , which has an external thread and a receiving area 9 for the rod 6 exhibits (cf. 3 ), a basic part 10 , which on the furniture body 2 is attached, and a lock nut 11 , The base part 10 and the lock nut 11 are on the external thread area of the holding part 8th screwed. The pole 6 is by means of a grub screw 12 in the recording area 9 of the holding part 8th fixed (cf. 2d ). The holding element according to the invention 7 enables in particular a height adjustment of the rod 6 by the holding part 8th in the base part 10 screwed in or unscrewed from this. This will make the distance between the rod 6 and the furniture body 2 changed. The final position of the holding element 7 can then with the lock nut 11 be secured. This makes it possible that the rod can still be aligned in a simple manner even after assembly.

As especially in 1 shown are the poles 6 about the holding elements 7 on an upper area or lower area of the furniture body 2 attached. This makes it possible for the sliding door 1 at a short distance from the open area of the furniture body 2 can be arranged.

As also from the 2c and 3c is visible is the recording area 9 of the holding part 8th to hold the rod 6 formed such that it has two arcuate arms, which over a central axis of the rod 6 protrude. This allows the rod 6 from the holding elements 7 must not be removed upwards or downwards, but always in the direction of their longitudinal axis from the holding elements 7 be brought out.

Furthermore, the distance of the sliding door 1 to the furniture body 2 by placing washers between the fastener 5 and the casters 3 can be changed easily.

In the 2a to 2e is the holding element according to the invention 7 shown in detail according to the first embodiment. As shown in the figures, the holding element comprises 7 the holding part 8th , the base part 10 and the lock nut 11 , As in the perspective view of 2a as well as the side view of 2c is visible, is in the holding part 8th especially a recording area 9 to hold the rod 6 educated. Here is the outside diameter of the rod 6 slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the receiving area 9 , The recording area 9 is designed as a pitch circle, which is in the axial direction XX of the holding element 7 is open. Because the pitch circle of the recording area 9 is larger than a semicircle, one can pass through the receiving area 9 held rod 6 not be taken in the direction of XX. The rod must always be removed along its longitudinal axis, ie perpendicular to the XX axis in the YY direction (cf. 2 B ).

For fastening one in the receiving area 9 held rod 6 serves a grub screw 12 which in a threaded hole 14 is introduced in the recording area 9 is formed (cf. 2d and 3d ). Using the grub screw 12 can the rod 6 in the recording area 9 be clamped against the wall of the receiving area so that it can no longer move in the direction of its longitudinal axis YY.

The holding part 8th of the holding element 7 is again in detail in the 3a to 3d shown. As shown there, the holding part points 8th a threaded area 20 on. The assembly of the holding element according to the invention is particularly evident from the exploded view in 2e seen. First is the lock nut 11 on the threaded area 20 of the holding part 8th screwed. Then a screw 19 from the inside through the opening 17 of the base part 10 guided. Through this screw 19 can the base part, as in 1 shown on a furniture body 2 be attached. Preferably the opening is 17 designed as an elongated hole, so that an optimal alignment of the base part 10 on the furniture body 2 can be achieved. Then this is done with the screwed lock nut 11 provided holding part 8th into the internal thread 18 of the base part 10 screwed (cf. 5c ). The height of the holding element 7 can be set arbitrarily. When the intended height is reached, the position can be adjusted using the lock nut 11 be secured. As in the 4a . 4c and 4d shown, the lock nut 11 two flattened areas 15 to allow easy attachment of a tool. After the mounting of the holding element 7 becomes the rod 6 in the recording area 9 guided and by means of the grub screw 12 fixed at the desired position.

Thus, according to the invention, a simply constructed holding element for a guide device for sliding doors can be provided, which is simple and stable and has a height adjustment option for the holding element 7 enables in its axial direction XX. It should be noted that the holding part 8th can also be formed with a through hole in the direction XX, so that the screw 19 can be fixed to the furniture body through this through hole.

Below is with reference to the 6a to 7d a holding element according to a second embodiment of the present invention described. The same or functionally the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.

As especially from the 7a to 7d can be seen, in contrast to the first embodiment, the holding part in the second embodiment 8th with an annular receiving area 9 educated. In other words, the recording area 9 no longer part circular, but completely circular, so that it is a rod 6 completely encloses. The rod is again using a grub screw 12 in the recording area 9 fixed. Otherwise, the second exemplary embodiment corresponds to the first exemplary embodiment, so that reference can be made to the description given there.

In the 8a to 9c describes a holding element according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The same or functionally the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.

As especially in the 8b and 8d shown, is the holding part in the third embodiment 8th similar to the first embodiment again with a part-circular receiving area 9 educated. In contrast to the first embodiment, the recording area 9 however arranged such that the free area does not face the direction of the Axis XX, that is directed in the longitudinal direction of the holding element, but is directed 90 ° perpendicular to the axis XX. This is the holding element 7 according to the third embodiment particularly suitable for the front of furniture bodies 2 to be arranged so that one in the recording area 9 arranged rod is supported both from the sides and from below. Otherwise the holding element corresponds 7 According to the third exemplary embodiment, the holding element described in the previously described exemplary embodiments, so that a further description can be dispensed with.

In the 10 to 13 describes a holding element according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Identical or functionally identical parts have been given the same reference symbols as in the previous exemplary embodiments.

That in the 10 to 13 shown holding part 21 is characterized in that a holding part 8th similarly with a recording area 9 is present, as in the previous embodiments. On the holding part 8th is towards a base part 23 directed a cap nut 22 available, which is supported on the one hand on the holding part and on the other hand by a locking ring 27 on the holding part 8th is rotatably attached. The union nut is shown in a separate representation of the 16 played. Here is the union nut 22 designed to have a through hole 31 has the union nut over a short area 22 penetrates and then in an undercut 32 which has a larger diameter ends. On the other hand, there is a hole in the undercut 33 with a thread 24 on. The thread 24 is on the base part 23 screwed.

The base part 23 is in the 14 and 15 shown separately. Analogous to the base part 10 points the base part 23 a through hole 17 on to attach the base part 23 to accomplish on a furniture body. Following the hole 17 a bore with an internal thread closes 26 on. On the outer circumference of the base part 23 is a thread 25 available, which for screwing on the union nut 22 serves.

The base part is used for assembly 23 by means of a screw 19 through the through hole 17 connected to the furniture body. To adjust the height of the in the recording area 9 imported rod 6 to accomplish is in the base part 23 into the thread 26 a lock screw 28 screwed. Using this counter screw 28 a height adjustment and thus a stop for the holding part can be formed. If the height adjustment is carried out, the union nut 22 with the holding part 8th on the base part 23 screwed. The union nut can 22 so far on the base part 23 be screwed on until a base area 34 of the holding part 8th with the counter screw 28 comes into contact. At the same time, this position becomes the union nut 22 against the circlip 27 of the holding part 8th pulled what a play-free attachment of the holding part 8th with the base part 23 guaranteed.

Around the bar 6 in the recording area 9 To be able to fix the holding part, it is possible on the one hand, via a laterally in the holding part 8th located grub screw 12 within a threaded hole 14 the pole 9 to attach or the rod 9 invisible over a maggot screw 29 to attach, which is in the axial direction of the holding part 21 extends. In this case, the rod would need to be attached 9 before assembling the union nut 22 on the base part 23 respectively.

As the 10 also makes clear, is located on the base part 23 a collar 30 to rest on the furniture body, which has the same diameter as the union nut 22 having. This creates a slim, no-frills holding element 21 played.

The present invention thus relates to a holding element 7 . 21 for holding a guide rail 9 for sliding doors, in particular sliding glass doors, with a holding part 8th and a base part 10 , The holding part 8th and the base part 10 are connected to each other in such a way that they are mutually adjustable in the axial direction XX of the holding element. The holding part 8th has a recording area 9 on to a guide rail 9 to keep. The base part 10 is z. B. by means of a screw 19 on the furniture body 2 fixable.
