  • the door leaf 2 is usually made of wood and is matched to the furniture outer fronts of the neighboring kitchen furniture. To determine the points at which the connecting parts 3 must be attached to the rear of the door leaf 2, the door leaf 2 is held by hand in front of the closed door of the built-in device - the device is already pushed into the niche - and two-dimensionally after the neighboring furniture parts aligned. By tapping lightly on the front of the door leaf 2, a marking is created on the back by means of the marking tip 17 assigned to each adjusting screw 18 by punching. The connecting parts 3 are aligned with the marking by means of the embossed axis cross and screwed on.
  • the door leaf is placed on the appliance door from one side and pushed over the head of the eccentric bolt or the head of the adjusting screw by means of the first crank 8 and the second crank 9. This is done first over the length of the exemption 10. So that the door leaf 2 can also engage on the other side with the connecting part 3 in the adjusting screw 18 and in the eccentric bolt 20, the door leaf 2 over the length of the exemption 10 until the end of Slotted hole 11 pushed. This creates the necessary scope so that the clearance 10 open to the outer edge 14 of the door leaf can be pushed over the heads of the adjusting screw 18 or the eccentric bolt 20.
  • the appliance door 2 initially lies on the adjusting screw 18 with the edges 26 of the clearance 10 or the elongated hole 11. By moving the door leaf 2, it snaps on both sides between the corners 30 of the clearance 10 and on the edge 26. Because of this step in the exemption 10, the door leaf cannot fall out laterally in the lowest position of the eccentric bolt.
  • the height, side and depth adjustment and the subsequent final fastening is carried out by means of the pre-assembled adjusting elements in the appliance door, namely the adjusting screws 18, the eccentric bolts 20 and the locking screws 19.
  • the support edges 7 lie on one of the surfaces of the part 24 of the eccentric bolt 20.
  • Each of the six different surfaces of the eccentrically formed part 24 has a different distance from the axis 22 of the eccentric bolt 20, so that depending on the angular position of the eccentric bolt 20 there are different heights for the door leaf 2 relative to the appliance door.
  • the flat head 25 of the eccentric bolt 20 is cut off on one side, so that the respective position of the eccentric bolt 20 is also visually recognizable when the door leaf is put on. Two eccentric bolts are sufficient to adjust the height, one on the left and one on the right of the door leaf.
  • the eccentric part 24 of the eccentric bolt 20 can be adjusted in stages when the door leaf is attached. This prevents the eccentric from adjusting itself. By limiting the height of the clearance 10, an overturning of the eccentric bolt over the highest possible height position of the door leaf and thus an unintentional lowering of the door leaf by overturning the eccentric bolt into the starting position can be prevented.
  • the side adjustment of the door leaf 2 relative to the appliance door 1 is carried out by sliding it by hand, the adjusting screw 18 sliding on the edges 26 of the release.
  • the depth of the door leaf 2 relative to the appliance door is adjusted by means of the adjusting screw 18. It also has a slot for turning from the inside of the door.
  • a flat head 31 of the adjusting screw 18 runs within the offset 9. The diameter of the flat head 31 is larger than the greatest height of the clearance 10.
  • the door leaf 2 is fixed by means of the locking screw 19 .
  • the height, side and depth setting and the attachment of the door leaf is locked by the locking screw 19.
  • the locking screw 19 is embedded in the appliance door 1 or in the adjusting housing 21 and can also be actuated from the inside of the appliance door 1 using a screwdriver through a slot.
  • the locking screw 19 is designed as a counter screw and acts on the second offset 9 of the connecting part 3.
  • the locking screw 19 is determined by appropriate dimensioning in length so that only a predetermined adjustment is possible. This prevents the door leaf from running onto neighboring furniture.
  • the hole for the locking screw 19 is provided with a cylindrical countersink which is wider than the screw, so that a correspondingly wide screwdriver can only be used to turn the locking screw 19 up to the end of this hole. A further adjustment is no longer possible and thus the adjustment path for further depth adjustment of the door leaf is limited.
  • connection according to the invention between the door leaf and appliance door can also be used several times.
  • connection between the door leaf 2 and the appliance door 1 by means of the connecting part 3 and the adjusting screw 18, the locking screw 19 and the eccentric bolt 20 results in a corresponding interlocking of the flat heads of these screws and by the corresponding shaping of the connecting part a non-positive (rigid) connection between the appliance door and the door leaf. This prevents that when the appliance door is used in the direction of pull or force, ie the opening direction of the door, the orientation of the door leaf with respect to the neighboring furniture parts can be changed by loosening screws.
  • the adjusting screws namely the adjusting screw 18, the locking screw 19 and the eccentric bolt 20, are all to be operated from one side, specifically from the inside of the appliance door 1.

  • the connecting part 3 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 is symmetrical, i. H. it has two contact edges 7, which are symmetrical to the exemption 10 or the slot 11.
  • Such a symmetrical connecting part makes it possible to use a uniform fitting for all connection points of the door on the left and right side. The result of this is that the height adjustment or the upward and downward stroke for the door leaf is the same as a result of the same adjustment path in the clearance 10. Is it desirable to give preference to an adjustment direction, i. H. to make the adjustment path larger in this direction than in the other, the connecting part 3 can be designed asymmetrically (see FIG. 6).
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 shows that the asymmetrical connecting plate 3 according to FIG.
  • the eccentric bolt 20 or an eccentrically designed part 24 is shown in a neutral position, in which there are three adjustment stages upwards and three adjustment stages downwards.
  • the adjustment path up and down is the same.
  • the transverse axis of the axis cross 15 and the axis 23 of the adjusting screw are no longer arranged in the center, but are shifted in the desired ratio to the center of the exemption. This results in the possibility of z. B. up in four stages and down in two stages.
  • FIG. 6 The asymmetrical design of the connecting part 3 has the disadvantage that two different parts, namely a left connecting part and a right connecting part, are now required.
  • the strokes for the height adjustment can be selected upwards and downwards, furthermore that the stop edge 30 of the exemption 10 is formed higher than in a symmetrical design of the connecting part 3 and thereby the door leaf slipping out laterally better prevented from hanging. Furthermore, there is also a saving in material, since the second contact edge 7 and the corresponding cranking are eliminated, and finally, in the case of large quantities, lower tool costs result from the fact that only a precisely defined stop edge 7 is required for a simple multiple tool.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Gerätetür eines Haushalt-Einbaugerätes mit Türblatt und Vorrichtung zum Befestigen und Ausrichten des Türblattes an der Gerätetür unter Verwendung von Beschlägen, durch die das Türblatt nach Höhe, Seite und Tiefe fluchtend an benachbarte Möbelfronten anpaßbar ist, wobei der Gerätetür Stellschrauben fest zugeordnet sind, die mit einem am Türblatt zu befestigenden Verbindungsteil mit einseitig offenem Schlitz zusammenwirken.The invention relates to an appliance door of a household built-in appliance with a door leaf and device for fastening and aligning the door leaf on the appliance door using fittings by means of which the door leaf can be aligned in height, side and depth in alignment with adjacent furniture fronts, with the appliance door adjusting screws are permanently assigned, which cooperate with a connecting part to be fastened to the door leaf with a slot open on one side.

In der DE-A-3 135 788 ist eine Befestigungsvorrichtung für verstellbare Frontplatten einer Schublade beschrieben, bei der für beide Seiten der Schublade Befestigungsvorrichtungen vorgesehen sind, die einen auf der Frontplatte befestigten Halteteil und einen an der Schublade befestigten Tragteil umfassen. Der Halteteil ist unten direkt in den Tragteil eingeschoben und oben mittels einer Verstellschraube in diesen eingehängt. Zwischen diesen beiden Lagerstellen ist eine Fixierschraube vorgesehen, mittels der der Halteteil am Tragteil arretiert wird.DE-A-3 135 788 describes a fastening device for adjustable front plates of a drawer, in which fastening devices are provided for both sides of the drawer, which comprise a holding part fastened to the front plate and a carrying part fastened to the drawer. The holding part is inserted directly into the supporting part at the bottom and suspended in the upper part by means of an adjusting screw. A fixing screw is provided between these two bearing points, by means of which the holding part is locked on the supporting part.

Die DE-A-2 922 384 befaßt sich mit der Befestigung und der Höhen-, Seiten- und Tiefenverstellung eines Türblattes vor einer Gerätetür von Haushalt-Einbaugeräten. Nach diesem Vorschlag wird für die Befestigung des Türblattes an der Oberkante der Gerätetür ein großes, sich fast über die gesamte Breite der Türe erstreckendes, winkelförmiges Beschlagteil verwendet. Nach der Montage dieses Beschlagteils ist ein Zirkulieren und Entweichen der Luft zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür verhindert. Dadurch kann sich Schwitzwasser bzw. feuchte Luft in dem Zwischenraum zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür bilden, die auf die Dauer zum Verziehen oder Verwerfen des meist aus Holz ausgeführten Türblattes führen kann. Mit der bekannten Konstruktion ist es zwar möglich, die Befestigung sowie die Höhen- und Tiefenverstellung vorzunehmen, ohne das Türblatt von der Gerätetür absetzen zu müssen, eine Seitenverstellung des Türblattes gegenüber der Gerätetür ist aber nicht möglich. Hierzu muß das Türblatt abgenommen werden, was eine rasche und einfache Montage behindert. Die Montage muß mit Hilfe einer Schablone erfolgen, um die vorgesehenen Langlöcher in den Beschlägen auf dem Türblatt zu markieren.DE-A-2 922 384 is concerned with the fastening and the height, side and depth adjustment of a door leaf in front of an appliance door of household built-in appliances. According to this proposal, a large, angular fitting part, which extends almost over the entire width of the door, is used for fastening the door leaf to the upper edge of the appliance door. After installing this fitting part, circulation and escape of air between the door leaf and appliance door is prevented. As a result, condensation or moist air can form in the space between the door leaf and appliance door, which in the long run can lead to warping or warping of the door leaf, which is usually made of wood. With the known construction it is possible to carry out the fastening and the height and depth adjustment without having to remove the door leaf from the appliance door, but it is not possible to adjust the side of the door leaf with respect to the appliance door. To do this, the door leaf must be removed, which hinders quick and easy installation. Installation must be carried out using a template to mark the slots provided in the fittings on the door leaf.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Konstruktion ist, daß bei der Vornahme der Seiten- und Tiefenverstellung sich jeweils die Höhenverstellung verändern kann. Schließlich ergibt sich nur eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Geratetur und Türblatt. In Offnungsrichtung, also in Zugrichtung der Kühlschranktür, kann sich so im Laufe der Zeit ein ungewolltes Verstellen des Türblattes und damit der fluchtenden Anpassung an die umgebenden Möbelfronten ergeben, wenn sich im Laufe der Zeit die montierten Schrauben lockern.Another disadvantage of the known construction is that the height adjustment can change when the side and depth adjustments are made. Finally, there is only a non-positive connection between the device and the door leaf. In the opening direction, i.e. in the pulling direction of the refrigerator door, an unwanted adjustment of the door leaf and thus the alignment with the surrounding furniture fronts can result over time if the installed screws become loose over time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Einbaugerät in Küchenmöbel eine einfache, für die Massenfertigung geeignete, sehr kleine, mit geringem Materialaufwand hergestellte und mit geringen Kosten montierbare Verbindung zwischen dem Türblatt und der Geratetür zu schaffen, die außer einer Befestigung sowie der Höhen- und Tiefenverstellung auch eine Seitenverstellung ohne Abnahme des Türblattes ermöglicht und ferner eine uneingeschränkte Luftzirkulation zwischen dem Türblatt und der Gerätetür züäßt.The invention has for its object to provide in a built-in device in kitchen furniture a simple, suitable for mass production, very small, made with little material and easy to assemble connection between the door leaf and the appliance door, which in addition to a fastening and the height and depth adjustment also enables side adjustment without removing the door leaf and also allows unrestricted air circulation between the door leaf and the appliance door.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die in den kennzeichnenden Teilen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche 2 bis 11 gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing parts of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the features of subclaims 2 to 11.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung liegen insbesondere darin, daß bei einer Verbindung zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung auch die Seitenverstellung des Turblattes gegenüber der Gerätetür ohne Abnahme des Türblattes der Gerätetür möglich ist. Ferner ermöglicht die vorliegende Anmeldung eine ungehinderte Luftzirkulation und ein Entweichen der Luft nach oben in dem Spalt zwischen Gerätetür und Türblatt, da die Beschläge sehr klein ausgeführt sind und den Spalt an der Oberseite zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür nicht abdecken. Durch die vorgesehenen Kröpfungen an dem Verbindungsteil wird außerdem verhindert, daß die Innenseite des Türblattes an der Außenseite der Gerätetür direkt anliegen kann.The advantages of the invention are, in particular, that with a connection between the door leaf and appliance door according to the present invention, the side adjustment of the door leaf relative to the appliance door is also possible without removing the door leaf of the appliance door. Furthermore, the present application enables unimpeded air circulation and an escape of air upwards in the gap between the appliance door and door leaf, since the fittings are very small and do not cover the gap on the top between the door leaf and appliance door. The provided offsets on the connecting part also prevent the inside of the door leaf from directly contacting the outside of the appliance door.

Die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion verhindert, daß bei einer Veränderung der Seitenverstellung oder der Tiefenverstellung sich die Höheneinstellung verändert. Die Verbindung zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür ist in Offnungsrichtung, was der Zugrichtung entspricht, formschlüssig ausgeführt. Hierdurch ist verhindert, daß sich die Ausrichtung des Türblattes gegenüber den umliegenden Möbelfronten durch Betätigung verändert.The construction according to the invention prevents the height setting from changing when the side adjustment or the depth adjustment is changed. The connection between the door leaf and the appliance door is form-fitting in the opening direction, which corresponds to the pulling direction. This prevents the orientation of the door leaf from changing with respect to the surrounding furniture fronts by actuation.

Die bei der Anmeldung vorgesehenen Beschlagteile sind klein. Für die Befestigung der Ober- und Unterkante des Türblattes ist das gleiche Beschlagteil verwendbar. Die Ausführung der Verbindung ermöglicht außerdem, bei großen Turen, bei Türen mit Trennfuge oder bei zusammengesetzten Türen sechs, acht oder mehr Verbindungen zwischen dem Türblatt und der Gerätetür vorzusehen, ohne daß neue oder andere Teile gebraucht werden, wodurch ein Verziehen oder Verwerfen überlanger Türblätter verhindert wird bzw. aus mehreren Teilen bestehende Türblätter ohne zusätzliche Mittel befestigt werden können.The hardware components provided when registering are small. The same fitting can be used to fasten the upper and lower edge of the door leaf. The design of the connection also enables six, eight or more connections to be provided between the door leaf and the appliance door for large doors, for doors with a joint or for compound doors, without new or other parts being used, thereby preventing warping or warping of excessively long door leaves door panels consisting of several parts can be attached without additional means.

Die Verbindung gemäß der Anmeldung verringert auch die Montagekosten dadurch, daß auf der Stirnseite der Verstellschrauben Markierungsspitzen vorgesehen sind. Da die Verstellschrauben bereits werkseitig vormontiert sind, ermöglichen diese Markierungsspitzen ein Markieren der Position der noch anzuschraubenden Verbindungsbleche auf dem Türblatt. Es ist dazu weder eine Schablone noch sind Maßangaben in einer Montageanleitung erforderlich.The connection according to the application also reduces the assembly costs in that marking tips are provided on the end face of the adjusting screws. Since the adjustment screws are already pre-assembled at the factory, these marking tips enable marking the position of the connecting plates to be screwed on the door leaf. It is neither a template nor dimensions in an assembly instruction.

Das Verbindungsteil 3 wird auf der Rückseite des Türblattes derart montiert, daß die Auflagekanten 7 horizontal liegen. Das Verbindungsteil 3 verfügt über eine weitere Kröpfung 9, in die ein Schlitz, bestehend aus der Freistellung 10 und aus einem in Höhe der Freistellung angeordneten Langloch 11, eingeformt ist. Nach der Montage des Verbindungsteils 3 sind die Freistellungen 10 zu den äußeren Rändern 13 und 14 des Türblattes offen angeordnet, wobei auch das Langloch 11 zu den äußeren Rändern des Türblattes offen ist und in Höhe der Freistellung 10 angeordnet ist.The connecting part 3 has contact edges 7 which are arranged on crankings 8. The connecting part 3 is mounted on the back of the door leaf so that the support edges 7 are horizontal. The connecting part 3 has a further offset 9, into which a slot consisting of the exemption 10 and an elongated hole 11 arranged at the level of the exemption is formed. After assembly of the connecting part 3, the exemptions 10 are open to the outer edges 13 and 14 of the door leaf, the elongated hole 11 to the outer edges of the door leaf also being open and arranged at the level of the exemption 10.

Ferner trägt das Verbindungsteil 3 ein Achsenkreuz 15, das zur Positionierung auf eine Ankörnung 16 dient. Die Ankörnung 16 entsteht durch einen Körner bzw. eine Markierungsspitze 17 an der Verstellschraube 18. Zur Befestigung des Verbindungsteils 3 auf der Rückseite des Türblattes 2 wird das Achsenkreuz 15 so ausgerichtet, daß es sich in der Ankörnung 16 schneidet und mit den Befestigungsschrauben 4 und 5 so befestigt, daß die Auflagekanten 7 waagerecht zu liegen kommen. Das Achsenkreuz 15 kann in das Verbindungsteil 3 eingeprägt oder in anderer geeigneten Weise ausgeführt sein. Als Material für das Verbindungsteil kann Blech oder jedes andere für ein derartiges Beschlagteil verwendbare Material herangezogen werden.Furthermore, the connecting part 3 carries an axis cross 15, which is used for positioning on a punch 16. The grain 16 is formed by a grain or a marking tip 17 on the adjusting screw 18. To fasten the connecting part 3 on the back of the door leaf 2, the axis cross 15 is aligned so that it intersects in the grain 16 and with the fastening screws 4 and 5 attached so that the support edges 7 come to lie horizontally. The axis cross 15 can be embossed in the connecting part 3 or be executed in another suitable manner. Sheet metal or any other material that can be used for such a fitting part can be used as the material for the connecting part.

Mit der Freistellung 10 und dem Langloch 11 wirkt die Verstellschraube 18 zusammen. Neben der Verstellschraube 18 ist eine Feststellschraube 19 und ein Exzenterbolzen 20 vorgesehen. Die Stellschrauben, nämlich die Verstellschraube 18, die Feststellschraube 19 und der Exzenterbolzen 20, können entweder direkt in einer entsprechend ausgebildeten Gerätetür 1 angeordnet oder in einem Justiergehäuse 21 zusammengefaßt sein, das in die Gerätetür 1 eingelassen ist. Das Justiergehäuse 21 kann aus Kunststoff oder aus jedem anderen geeigneten Werkstoff ausgeführt sein.The adjusting screw 18 interacts with the exemption 10 and the elongated hole 11. In addition to the adjusting screw 18, a locking screw 19 and an eccentric bolt 20 are provided. The adjusting screws, namely the adjusting screw 18, the locking screw 19 and the eccentric bolt 20, can either be arranged directly in an appropriately designed appliance door 1 or can be combined in an adjusting housing 21 which is let into the appliance door 1. The adjustment housing 21 can be made of plastic or of any other suitable material.

Innerhalb der Gerätetür 1 oder des Justiergehäuses 21 sind die Stellschrauben 18, 19, 20, bestehend aus der Verstellschraube 18, der Feststellschraube 19 und dem Exzenterbolzen 20, befestigt. Die Achse 22 des Exzenterbolzens 20 und die Achse 23 der Verstellschraube 18 sind einander in definiertem und unveränderbar starrem Abstand zugeordnet. Die Abstände werden nach dem gewünschten Hub- bzw. Verstellweg, der für das Türblatt gegenüber der Gerätetür gewünscht wird, festgelegt. Der Exzenterbolzen 20 liegt mit seinem exzentrisch ausgeführten Teil 24 an der Auflagekante 7 des Verbindungsteils 3 an. Mit seinem Kopf 25 greift der Exzenterbolzen 20 über die erste Kröpfung 8. Der flache Kopf 25 des Exzenterbolzens 20 ist größer ausgebildet als das exzentrisch ausgeführte Teil 24.The set screws 18, 19, 20, consisting of the set screw 18, the set screw 19 and the eccentric bolt 20, are fastened within the appliance door 1 or the adjusting housing 21. The axis 22 of the eccentric bolt 20 and the axis 23 of the adjusting screw 18 are assigned to one another at a defined and invariably rigid distance. The distances are determined according to the desired stroke or adjustment path that is desired for the door leaf opposite the appliance door. The eccentric bolt 20 rests with its eccentrically designed part 24 on the contact edge 7 of the connecting part 3. With its head 25, the eccentric pin 20 engages over the first offset 8. The flat head 25 of the eccentric pin 20 is larger than the eccentrically designed part 24.

Die Auflagekanten 7 des Verbindungsteils 3 liegen parallel zu den Kanten 26, 27, 28 und 29 der Freistellung 10 bzw. des Langlochs 11 und sind einander in jeweils genau definiertem und unveränderbar starrem Abstand zugeordnet.The contact edges 7 of the connecting part 3 lie parallel to the edges 26, 27, 28 and 29 of the clearance 10 or the elongated hole 11 and are assigned to one another at a precisely defined and invariably rigid distance.

Sind an der Türe des Einbaugerätes die Stellschrauben 18, 19, 20 vormontiert, so können die Verbindungsteile 3 auf dem Türblatt 2 entsprechend den vier Befestigungsstellen angebracht werden.If the set screws 18, 19, 20 are preassembled on the door of the built-in appliance, the connecting parts 3 can be attached to the door leaf 2 in accordance with the four fastening points.

Das Türblatt 2 besteht meist aus Holz und ist den Möbelaußenfronten der benachbarten Küchenmöbel angeglichen. Zur Ermittlung der Stellen, an denen die Verbindungsteile 3 auf der Rückseite des Türblattes 2 angebracht werden müssen, wird das Türblatt 2 von Hand vor die geschlossene Türe des Einbaugeräts gehalten - wobei das Gerät bereits in die Nische geschoben ist - und nach den benachbarten Möbelteilen zweidimensional ausgerichtet. Durch leichtes Klopfen auf die Vorderseite des Turblattes 2 wird auf der Rückseite mittels der jeder Verstellschraube 18 zugeordneten Markierungsspitze 17 durch Ankörnen eine Markierung geschaffen. Die Verbindungsteile 3 werden mit Hilfe des eingeprägten Achsenkreuzes auf die Markierung ausgerichtet und angeschraubt.The door leaf 2 is usually made of wood and is matched to the furniture outer fronts of the neighboring kitchen furniture. To determine the points at which the connecting parts 3 must be attached to the rear of the door leaf 2, the door leaf 2 is held by hand in front of the closed door of the built-in device - the device is already pushed into the niche - and two-dimensionally after the neighboring furniture parts aligned. By tapping lightly on the front of the door leaf 2, a marking is created on the back by means of the marking tip 17 assigned to each adjusting screw 18 by punching. The connecting parts 3 are aligned with the marking by means of the embossed axis cross and screwed on.

Nach der Befestigung der Verbindungsteile auf der Rückseite des Türblattes 2 wird das Türblatt von einer Seite an die Gerätetür angelegt und mittels der ersten Kröpfung 8 und der zweiten Kröpfung 9 über den Kopf des Exzenterbolzens bzw. den Kopf der Verstellschraube geschoben. Dies geschieht zunächst über die Länge der Freistellung 10. Damit das Türblatt 2 auch auf der anderen Seite mit dem Verbindungsteil 3 in die Verstellschraube 18 und in den Exzenterbolzen 20 einrasten kann, wird das Türblatt 2 über die Länge der Freistellung 10 hinaus bis zum Ende des Langlochs 11 geschoben. Dadurch entsteht der nötige Spielraum, damit die zum äußeren Rand 14 des Türblattes offene Freistellung 10 über die Köpfe der Verstellschraube 18 bzw. des Exzenterbolzens 20 geschoben werden kann. Die Gerätetür 2 liegt zunächst mit den Kanten 26 der Freistellung 10 oder des Langlochs 11 auf der Verstellschraube 18 auf. Durch Verschieben des Türblattes 2 rastet dieses auf beiden Seiten zwischen den Ecken 30 der Freistellung 10 und an der Kante 26 ein. Wegen dieser Stufe in der Freistellung 10 kann das Türblatt in der tiefsten Stellung des Exzenterbolzens seitlich nicht herausfallen.After the connection parts have been fastened to the rear of the door leaf 2, the door leaf is placed on the appliance door from one side and pushed over the head of the eccentric bolt or the head of the adjusting screw by means of the first crank 8 and the second crank 9. This is done first over the length of the exemption 10. So that the door leaf 2 can also engage on the other side with the connecting part 3 in the adjusting screw 18 and in the eccentric bolt 20, the door leaf 2 over the length of the exemption 10 until the end of Slotted hole 11 pushed. This creates the necessary scope so that the clearance 10 open to the outer edge 14 of the door leaf can be pushed over the heads of the adjusting screw 18 or the eccentric bolt 20. The appliance door 2 initially lies on the adjusting screw 18 with the edges 26 of the clearance 10 or the elongated hole 11. By moving the door leaf 2, it snaps on both sides between the corners 30 of the clearance 10 and on the edge 26. Because of this step in the exemption 10, the door leaf cannot fall out laterally in the lowest position of the eccentric bolt.

Nun erfolgt die Höhen-, Seiten- und Tiefenverstellung und die anschließende endgültige Befestigung mittels der in der Gerätetür vormontierten Verstellelemente, nämlich den Verstellschrauben 18, den Exzenterbolzen 20 und den Feststellschrauben 19. Bei eingehängtem Türblatt 2 liegen die Auflagekanten 7 an einer der Flächen des Teiles 24 des Exzenterbolzens 20 an. Durch Verdrehen des frei drehbar in einer Bohrung der Gerätetür 2 oder des Justiergehäuses 21 angeordneten Exzenterbolzens 20 wird die Höhe des Türblattes gegenüber der Gerätetür 1 verstellt. Dazu wird der Exzenterbolzen mittels eines Schraubenziehers von der Innenseite der Gerätetür her verdreht. Jede der sechs verschiedenen Flächen des exzentrisch ausgebildeten Teils 24 hat einen unterschiedlichen Abstand von der Achse 22 des Exzenterbolzens 20, so daß sich je nach Winkelstellung des Exzenterbolzens 20 unterschiedliche Höhen für das Türblatt 2 gegenüber der Gerätetür ergeben. Der Flachkopf 25 des Exzenterbolzens 20 ist auf einer Seite abgeschnitten, damit auch optisch die jeweilige Stellung des Exzenterbolzens 20 erkennbar ist, wenn das Türblatt aufgesetzt wird. Zur Höhenverstellung genügen zwei Exzenterbolzen, je einer an der linken und rechten Seite des Türblattes.Now the height, side and depth adjustment and the subsequent final fastening is carried out by means of the pre-assembled adjusting elements in the appliance door, namely the adjusting screws 18, the eccentric bolts 20 and the locking screws 19. When the door leaf 2 is suspended, the support edges 7 lie on one of the surfaces of the part 24 of the eccentric bolt 20. By turning the eccentric bolt 20 which is freely rotatable in a bore in the appliance door 2 or the adjusting housing 21, the height of the door leaf relative to the appliance door 1 is adjusted. To do this, the eccentric bolt is turned from the inside of the appliance door using a screwdriver. Each of the six different surfaces of the eccentrically formed part 24 has a different distance from the axis 22 of the eccentric bolt 20, so that depending on the angular position of the eccentric bolt 20 there are different heights for the door leaf 2 relative to the appliance door. The flat head 25 of the eccentric bolt 20 is cut off on one side, so that the respective position of the eccentric bolt 20 is also visually recognizable when the door leaf is put on. Two eccentric bolts are sufficient to adjust the height, one on the left and one on the right of the door leaf.

Das exzentrische Teil 24 des Exzenterbolzens 20 ist bei eingehängtem Türblatt stufig verstellbar. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß sich der Exzenter selbständig verstellt. Durch Begrenzung der Höhe der Freistellung 10 kann ein Überdrehen des Exzenterbolzens über die höchstmögliche Höhenstellung des Türblattes und damit ein unbeabsichtigtes Absenken des Türblattes durch Überdrehen des Exzenterbolzens in die Ausgangslage verhindert werden.The eccentric part 24 of the eccentric bolt 20 can be adjusted in stages when the door leaf is attached. This prevents the eccentric from adjusting itself. By limiting the height of the clearance 10, an overturning of the eccentric bolt over the highest possible height position of the door leaf and thus an unintentional lowering of the door leaf by overturning the eccentric bolt into the starting position can be prevented.

Die Seitenverstellung des Turblattes 2 gegenuber der Gerätetür 1 erfolgt durch Verschieben mit der Hand, wobei die Verstellschraube 18 an den Kanten 26 der Freistellung gleitet.The side adjustment of the door leaf 2 relative to the appliance door 1 is carried out by sliding it by hand, the adjusting screw 18 sliding on the edges 26 of the release.

Die Tiefenverstellung des Türblattes 2 gegenüber der Gerätetür erfolgt mittels der Verstellschraube 18. Sie besitzt ebenfalls einen Schlitz zum Verdrehen von der Turinnenseite her. Ein Flachkopf 31 der Verstellschraube 18 läuft innerhalb der Kröpfung 9. Der Durchmesser des Flachkopfes 31 ist größer ausgebildet als die größte Höhe der Freistellung 10. Nachdem die Tiefe des Türblattes 2 entsprechend den benachbarten Möbelfronten ausgerichtet ist, wird mittels der Feststellschraube 19 das Türblatt 2 fixiert. Die Höhen-, Seiten- und Tiefeneinstellung und die Befestigung des Türblattes wird durch die Feststellschraube 19 arretiert. Die Feststellschraube 19 ist in die Gerätetür 1 oder in das Justiergehäuse 21 eingelassen und ebenfalls von der Innenseite der Gerätetür 1 mit einem Schraubenzieher durch einen Schlitz zu betätigen. Die Feststellschraube 19 ist als Konterschraube ausgebildet und wirkt auf die zweite Kröpfung 9 des Verbindungsteils 3. Die Feststellschraube 19 ist durch entsprechende Bemessung in der Länge so festgelegt, daß nur ein vorgegebener Verstellweg möglich ist. Dies verhindert ein Auflaufen des Türblattes auf Nachbarmöbel. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Bohrung für die Feststellschraube 19 mit einer zylindrischen Senkung versehen, die breiter ist als die Schraube, so daß ein entsprechend breiter Schraubenzieher nur bis zum Ende dieses Loches zum Verdrehen der Feststellschraube 19 benützt werden kann. Ein weiteres Verstellen ist nicht mehr möglich und damit wird der Verstellweg für eine weitere Tiefenverstellung des Türblattes begrenzt.The depth of the door leaf 2 relative to the appliance door is adjusted by means of the adjusting screw 18. It also has a slot for turning from the inside of the door. A flat head 31 of the adjusting screw 18 runs within the offset 9. The diameter of the flat head 31 is larger than the greatest height of the clearance 10. After the depth of the door leaf 2 is aligned with the neighboring furniture fronts, the door leaf 2 is fixed by means of the locking screw 19 . The height, side and depth setting and the attachment of the door leaf is locked by the locking screw 19. The locking screw 19 is embedded in the appliance door 1 or in the adjusting housing 21 and can also be actuated from the inside of the appliance door 1 using a screwdriver through a slot. The locking screw 19 is designed as a counter screw and acts on the second offset 9 of the connecting part 3. The locking screw 19 is determined by appropriate dimensioning in length so that only a predetermined adjustment is possible. This prevents the door leaf from running onto neighboring furniture. For this purpose, the hole for the locking screw 19 is provided with a cylindrical countersink which is wider than the screw, so that a correspondingly wide screwdriver can only be used to turn the locking screw 19 up to the end of this hole. A further adjustment is no longer possible and thus the adjustment path for further depth adjustment of the door leaf is limited.

Für überlange Türblätter, für Türblätter mit Trennfugen oder für Türblätter aus zusammengesetzten Teilen läßt sich die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür auch mehrfach anwenden.For excessively long door leaves, for door leaves with parting lines or for door leaves made of assembled parts, the connection according to the invention between the door leaf and appliance door can also be used several times.

Die Verbindung zwischen Türblatt 2 und Gerätetür 1 mittels des Verbindungsteils 3 und der Verstellschraube 18, der Feststellschraube 19 und dem Exzenterbolzen 20 ergibt durch entsprechendes Ineinandergreifen der Flachköpfe dieser Schrauben und durch die entsprechende Formung des Verbindungsteiles eine kraftschlüssige (starre) Verbindung zwischen Gerätetür und Türblatt. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß bei der Benützung der Gerätetür in Zug- bzw. Kraftrichtung, also der Offnungsrichtung der Tür, sich durch Lockern von Schrauben die Ausrichtung des Türblattes bezüglich der benachbarten Möbelteile verändern kann. Durch die Verwendung der kleinen Verbindungsteile 3 zum Verbinden von Türblatt und Gerätetür ist es möglich, den sich infolge der Kröpfungen des Verbindungsteils bildenden Spalt zwischen Türblatt und Gerätetür auch nach oben stets offen zu halten, so daß die Luft in diesem Spalt gut zirkulieren kann.The connection between the door leaf 2 and the appliance door 1 by means of the connecting part 3 and the adjusting screw 18, the locking screw 19 and the eccentric bolt 20 results in a corresponding interlocking of the flat heads of these screws and by the corresponding shaping of the connecting part a non-positive (rigid) connection between the appliance door and the door leaf. This prevents that when the appliance door is used in the direction of pull or force, ie the opening direction of the door, the orientation of the door leaf with respect to the neighboring furniture parts can be changed by loosening screws. By using the small connecting parts 3 for connecting the door leaf and the appliance door, it is possible to keep the gap between the door leaf and the appliance door that forms as a result of the cranking of the connecting part always open at the top, so that the air can circulate well in this gap.

Die Stellschrauben, nämlich die Verstellschraube 18, die Feststellschraube 19 und der Exzenterbolzen 20, sind alle von einer Seite aus zu bedienen, und zwar von der Innenseite der Gerätetür 1. Die Bohrungen bzw. Löcher können durch einen Türdichtungsrahmen 32 oder Stopfen abgedeckt werden.The adjusting screws, namely the adjusting screw 18, the locking screw 19 and the eccentric bolt 20, are all to be operated from one side, specifically from the inside of the appliance door 1. The bores or holes can be covered by a door seal frame 32 or stopper.

Durch die stufige Ausbildung des Exzenterbolzens 20 bzw. seines exzentrisch ausgeführten Teiles 24 ist es möglich, die Seitenverstellung und die Tiefenverstellung vorzunehmen, ohne daß sich dabei die Höheneinstellung ändert.Due to the stepped design of the eccentric bolt 20 or its eccentrically designed part 24, it is possible to carry out the side adjustment and the depth adjustment without changing the height setting.

Das in den Fig. 1, 2, 3 und 4 dargestellte Verbindungsteil 3 ist symmetrisch ausgebildet, d. h. es verfügt über zwei Auflagekanten 7, die symmetrisch zur Freistellung 10 bzw. zum Langloch 11 liegen. Ein derart ausgebildetes symmetrisches Verbindungsteil ermöglicht es, einen einheitlichen Beschlag für alle Verbindungsstellen der Tür auf der linken und rechten Seite zu verwenden. Dies hat zur Folge, daß die Höhenverstellung bzw. der Hub nach oben und unten für das Türblatt infolge des jeweils gleichen Verstellweges in der Freistellung 10 gleich groß ist. Ist es erwünscht, einer Verstellrichtung einen Vorzug zu geben, d. h. den Verstellweg in diese Richtung größer zu machen als in die andere, so kann das Verbindungsteil 3 asymmetrisch ausgebildet werden (siehe dazu Fig. 6). Der Vergleich zwischen Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 zeigt, daß das asymmetrische Verbindungsblech 3 gemäß Fig. 6 eine Vorzugsrichtung für die Verstellung der Höhe aufweist. Bei dem symmetrischen Verbindungsteil 3 gemäß Fig. 5 ist der Exzenterbolzen 20 bzw. ein exzentrisch ausgeführtes Teil 24 in einer neutralen Lage dargestellt, in der sich drei Verstellstufen nach oben und drei Verstellstufen nach unten ergeben. Damit ist der Verstellweg nach oben und unten gleich. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 6 ist die Querachse des Achsenkreuzes 15 bzw. die Achse 23 der Verstellschraube nicht mehr mittig angeordnet, sondern im gewünschten Verhältnis zur Mitte der Freistellung verschoben. Dadurch ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, die Höhenverstellung z. B. nach oben in vier Stufen vorzunehmen und nach unten nur in zwei Stufen. Ein derartiges Ausführungsbeispiel ist in Fig. 6 dargestellt. Die asymmetrische Ausführung des Verbindungsteils 3 hat zwar den Nachteil, daß nun zwei verschiedene Teile, nämlich ein linkes Verbindungsteil und ein rechtes Verbindungsteil, erforderlich sind. Gleichzeitig ergeben sich jedoch auch die Vorteile, daß die Hübe für die Höhenverstellung beliebig nach oben und unten ausgewählt werden können, ferner daß die Anschlagkante 30 der Freistellung 10 höher ausgebildet ist als bei einer symmetrischen Ausführung des Verbindungsteiles 3 und dadurch ein seitliches Herausrutschen des Türblattes nach dem Einhängen besser verhindert. Ferner ist damit auch eine Materialersparnis verbunden, da die zweite Auflagekante 7 und die entsprechende Kröpfung wegfällt und schließlich ergeben sich bei hohen Stückzahlen auch geringere Werkzeugkosten dadurch, daß für ein einfaches Mehrfachwerkzeug nur eine maßlich genau festgelegte Anschlagkante 7 erforderlich ist.The connecting part 3 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 is symmetrical, i. H. it has two contact edges 7, which are symmetrical to the exemption 10 or the slot 11. Such a symmetrical connecting part makes it possible to use a uniform fitting for all connection points of the door on the left and right side. The result of this is that the height adjustment or the upward and downward stroke for the door leaf is the same as a result of the same adjustment path in the clearance 10. Is it desirable to give preference to an adjustment direction, i. H. to make the adjustment path larger in this direction than in the other, the connecting part 3 can be designed asymmetrically (see FIG. 6). The comparison between FIGS. 5 and 6 shows that the asymmetrical connecting plate 3 according to FIG. 6 has a preferred direction for the adjustment of the height. 5, the eccentric bolt 20 or an eccentrically designed part 24 is shown in a neutral position, in which there are three adjustment stages upwards and three adjustment stages downwards. The adjustment path up and down is the same. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, the transverse axis of the axis cross 15 and the axis 23 of the adjusting screw are no longer arranged in the center, but are shifted in the desired ratio to the center of the exemption. This results in the possibility of z. B. up in four stages and down in two stages. Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 6. The asymmetrical design of the connecting part 3 has the disadvantage that two different parts, namely a left connecting part and a right connecting part, are now required. At the same time, however, there are also the advantages that the strokes for the height adjustment can be selected upwards and downwards, furthermore that the stop edge 30 of the exemption 10 is formed higher than in a symmetrical design of the connecting part 3 and thereby the door leaf slipping out laterally better prevented from hanging. Furthermore, there is also a saving in material, since the second contact edge 7 and the corresponding cranking are eliminated, and finally, in the case of large quantities, lower tool costs result from the fact that only a precisely defined stop edge 7 is required for a simple multiple tool.
