Description

The invention relates to a flap fitting for a flap of a piece of furniture, wherein the flap fitting comprises: a base member, a damper with a support member and a moderately movable relative to this activator and a pivot arm which is pivotally mounted between an open position and a closed position on the base member and the is indirectly supported at least in the open position on the damper against the base member.

Such a flap fitting is for example from the DE 10 2008 025 265 B4 known. This concerns a flap fitting for a folding lid, which is arranged to open upwards and has a first lid element attached to the body and a second lid element, which is pivotably connected to the first lid element. The flap fitting is attached to the furniture body and has a toggle lever arrangement, via which the first cover element is driven. The toggle lever assembly includes a pivot arm which is pivotally mounted relative to a base member of the flap fitting. On the pivot arm, a damper is fixed, wherein a support member of the damper is fixedly connected to the pivot arm and an activator of the damper is slidably guided in the support member. When transferring the flap fitting in a closed position, the activator against a stop element and is moved against a damping force of the damper, so that the movement of the flap fitting and thus the folding flap is damped in the closed position.

Another flap fitting is from the EP 1 713 966 B1 known. Here, a folding lid is provided, which is fastened with a first cover element about a horizontally arranged first axis pivotally mounted on a body in the region of an upper floor. Furthermore, the folding lid comprises a second lid element which is pivotally connected to the first lid element about a horizontally arranged second axis. The folding lid is adjustable between a closed position in which the first lid member and the second lid member are vertically stacked in a common plane and close an opening of the body, and an open position in which the two lid members are folded upwards. A swing arm of a flap fitting is pivotally attached to the second cover member and to a base member of the flap fitting which is secured to the body. About a power drive, which acts on the pivot arm, the pivot arm, starting from an intermediate position or neutral position between the open position and the closed position, for receiving its open position and its closed position is movable. On the base element, a damper is attached, which dampens the movement of the folding lid both shortly before reaching the open position and the closed position. For this purpose, runs in the closed position of the swivel arm against the damper. In the open position, a control slide of the power drive runs against the damper.

This flap fitting has a defined opening angle or a defined open position. In the folding lid, the cover elements are thus in the open position in a maximum upper position. In this case, the cover elements partially protrude beyond the upper floor of the body. However, there are applications in which a collision with ceilings or other elements in the open position must be avoided. In order to use the same flap fitting for such applications, so-called Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer are known which are designed as a stop and limit the pivoting of the flap or the cover elements in the direction of the open position. In other words, the then provided limited open position is in a lower position than without using the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers. Known Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer are configured as fixed stops, so that optionally provided damping elements of the flap fittings no longer have an effect, since the flap fitting does not reach the originally intended open position, but is stopped before this by means of the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers before the scope of the damper is achieved.

Object of the present invention is therefore to propose a flap fitting, which ensures a limitation of the opening angle, but without having an impairment of the damping function in the limitation of the opening angle.

The object is achieved by a flap fitting for a flap of a piece of furniture, wherein the flap fitting comprises: a base member, a damper with a support member and a relative to this attenuated movable activator and a pivot arm which is pivotally mounted between an open position and a closed position on the base member and which is supported at least in the open position indirectly via the damper against the base member, wherein a Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer is provided, which is supported against the activator of the damper.

Thus, the pivot arm is at least in the open position (or in the begreznten open position) supported indirectly via the damper and the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer, wherein the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer is adjustable together with the activator, so that even when using the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers a damping of the flap is possible.

Preferably, the damper is a linear damper, wherein the activator is guided linearly displaceable relative to the support element.

To form a preassemblable unit, the support member of the damper may be secured to the base member with the pivot arm starting against the activator. Alternatively, the support member may be fixedly secured to the pivot arm so that the damper is pivoted to the pivot arm. This is pressed shortly before reaching the open position of the activator against the stop surface on the body or on the base member.

The swivel arm can be supported indirectly in the open position on the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer against the activator of the damper. Since the swivel arm is supported in the open position against the damper, the path of the swivel arm can be limited via the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer.

In addition, it can be provided that the opening angle limiter is guided linearly on the base element. For this purpose, the base member having two mutually parallel apertures, between which the pivot arm is rotatably mounted, wherein the apertures each have a guide groove, which are arranged opposite to each other in parallel, wherein the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer is guided in the guide grooves.

In this case, the guide grooves may each be limited by a web in the direction of an extended position of the activator, so that the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer is securely held in the guide grooves. Thus, it is also conceivable that the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer is not connected to the activator but only pressed against it. An unintentional release of the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers from the guide grooves is prevented in this case by the webs, so that an attachment of the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer on the activator is unnecessary.

The support member may be attached to the base member or to at least one of the panels. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the support element is part of at least one of the panels. Preferably, the support element is formed from two panels. For this purpose, in each case one half of the support element can be integral with a panel, in particular if the panels are designed as plastic injection-molded parts.

The opening angle limiter can be releasably connected to the activator, for example via a latching mechanism, via which the opening angle limiter can be latched to the activator.

To make the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer optically not appear in appearance, it can be provided that this is completely absorbed between the panels.

A preferred embodiment of a flap fitting according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Hereby shows:

1 a cross section through a cabinet with a flap fitting according to the invention in an open position, without the use of a Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers,

2 a cross-section of the cabinet according to 1 with the flap fitting in a limited open position using a Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers,

3 a detail of the flap fitting in side view in the region of the damper in a position in which the damping begins when the pivoting arm moves into the limited open position,

4 the clipping according to 3 with the flap fitting in a limited open position, and

5 a section according to 3 with the opening angle limiter in exploded view.

1 shows a body 1 a cupboard that has a topsoil 2 , a side wall 3 , a lower ground 4 and a back wall 5 having. The body 1 also has an opening 6 on top, with a folding lid 7 is closable.

The folding lid 7 comprises a first cover element 8th pivotable about a horizontally disposed first axis on the body 1 in the area of the upper floor 2 is attached. Furthermore, the folding lid comprises 7 a second cover element 9 pivotable about the horizontally disposed second axis with the first cover element 8th connected is. The folding lid 7 is between a closed position in which the first cover element 8th and the second lid member 9 are arranged vertically one above the other in a common plane and the opening 6 close, and an open position, as in 1 is shown, adjustable.

On the side wall 3 of the body 1 is a basic element 12 a flap fitting 11 attached, being on the base element 12 a swivel arm 10 is pivotally mounted. The swivel arm 10 is at a flap fitting 11 distant end with the second cover element 9 pivotally connected. In the flap fitting 11 There is a power drive (not shown), which is designed such that the pivot arm 10 and thus the folding lid 7 from an intermediate position, which is located between the open position and the closed position, towards the in 1 shown open position is acted upon with force. In a range between an intermediate position of the flap fitting and the folding lid 7 and the closed position becomes the folding lid 7 acted upon in the closed position with force, so that it is held in the closed position. The power drive can in known manner have a spring assembly that is supported on the one hand against the base member and on the other hand against a slide or a pivot lever. The slider or pivot lever in turn acts on a lever mechanism or a control contour on the pivot arm, so that a torque is generated on the pivot arm.

So that the movement of the folding lid 7 is dampened in the open position, is an in 1 not shown damper 14 provided shortly before reaching the open position of the folding lid 7 the movement of the folding lid 7 dampens or slows down until the full open position is reached.

In the in 1 Open position shown is the folding lid 7 with the dimension H above the topsoil 2 in front. However, if applications, a survival of the folding lid on the topsoil 2 do not allow an opening angle limit to be provided. In 2 is the flap fitting 11 or the folding lid 7 shown in a limited open position, wherein a Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer 13 is used. The opening angle limiter 13 serves as a stop, the way the swing arm 10 limited towards the open position, allowing the movement of the swing arm 10 already before reaching the constructive maximum achievable open position according to 1 is limited. In this limited open position is the folding lid 7 not over the topsoil 2 in front.

2 shows the flap fitting 11 in a cut view, so the damper used 14 is recognizable. This has a support element 15 on, which on the base element 12 the flap fitting 11 is attached. The damper 14 points one towards the opening 6 or to the folding lid 7 prominent activator 16 on, relative to the support element 15 is linearly displaceable. At the activator 16 is the opening angle limiter 13 supported, against which in turn the swivel arm 10 in its limited open position according to 2 supported. When using the damper 14 without opening angle limiter 13 , as in 1 represented, the swivel arm is supported 10 in the open position directly against the activator 16 and a stop surface 22 at the base element 12 from.

The 3 and 4 show a section of the flap fitting 11 in the area of the damper 14 , where the 3 the position of the swivel arm 10 just before reaching the limited open position shows and 4 the swivel arm 10 in the limited open position shows

It can be seen that the damper 14 a support element 15 having, which with the base element 12 the flap fitting 11 connected is. The support element 15 is designed housing-shaped and takes a damper, for example in the form of a gas spring, on which a cylinder 17 having the activator 16 represents, and a piston rod 18 , in the housing-shaped support element 15 against the support element 15 is supported. The cylinder 17 is in the support element 15 held linearly displaceable. The cylinder 17 or the activator 16 is starting from an in 3 shown fully ejected position in an in 4 illustrated inserted position transferred.

With the activator 16 is the opening angle limiter 13 releasably secured. This has a contact surface 20 on, against which a back surface 19 of the swivel arm 10 starts. Starting from the closed position up to the in 3 position shown is the back surface 19 not with the contact surface 20 in touch. Only from the in 3 shown position shortly before reaching the (limited) open position runs the back surface 19 of the swivel arm 10 against the contact surface 20 and pushes over the opening angle limiter 13 the activator 16 in the support element 15 into it, reducing the movement of the swing arm 10 until reaching the limited open position according to 4 is dampened.

In the in 3 shown position is one of the contact surface 20 remote stop surface 21 of the opening angle limiter 13 at a distance to a stop surface 22 of the base element 12 arranged. Once the limited open position according to 4 is reached, the stop surface is supported 21 of the opening angle limiter 13 against the stop surface 22 of the base element 12 so that the pivoting of the swing arm 10 is limited or terminated.

When using the flap fitting 11 without opening angle limiter 13 would the back surface 19 of the swivel arm 10 immediately against the activator 16 start and this in the support element 15 this would happen at a position that is above the in 4 shown limited open position. In the open position without using the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzers 13 would the back surface 19 for limiting the pivoting path against the stop surface 22 of the base element 12 attacks.

The basic element 12 includes an in 4 illustrated first aperture 23 , which are parallel to the side wall 3 is arranged and flat on this rests and is connected to this. On the from the first aperture 23 opposite side of the flap fitting 11 is an in 1 illustrated second aperture 24 provided, which closes the flap fitting. This second aperture 24 is parallel to the first aperture 23 arranged and around the items of the damper 14 to make visible in the 2 . 3 . 4 and 5 not shown.

In the first aperture 23 is a horizontally extending guide groove 25 intended. The second aperture 24 has a (not shown) parallel to this and the guide groove 25 the first aperture 23 facing guide groove. The opening angle limiter 13 points to the two to the panels 23 . 24 pointing pages each have a leadership advantage 26 on, with the opening angle limiter 13 in the guide grooves 25 is guided linearly adjustable. The guide grooves 25 are to the opening 6 in each case through a footbridge 27 limited so that the opening angle limiter 13 not unintentionally from the guide grooves 25 can escape. This is either a disassembly of one of the panels 23 . 24 required or, provided the panels 23 . 24 are made of a plastic, pressing apart the panels 23 . 24 required. The opening angle limiter 13 can be on both sides, ie towards the damper 14 and towards the jetties 27 be designed ramp-like. Thus, for mounting the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer 13 from the outside against the footbridges 27 are pressed, the ramps to the guide projections 26 soar, so the irises 23 . 24 be pressed apart. Furthermore, when pulling out the Öffnungswinkelbegrenzer 13 from the guide grooves 25 a ramp-like rise to the guide projections 26 for the irises 23 . 24 be pressed apart and the opening angle limiter 13 can be removed without further tools.
