Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fitting according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the switch cam is designed as a pin attached to an arm, the arm being fastened to a rail part which can be extended with the drawer.
  • This pin works together with a rotary slide designed as a lever, which can be pivoted into two end positions by means of a tension spring.
  • the fork lever is pivoted so that after a relatively short distance the pin attached to the arm comes out of engagement with the fork lever. Since the rotary valve was moved past the dead center, it remains in this position.
  • the pin of the arm engages with the fork lever. As soon as the dead center has been overcome, the drawer is pulled into the end position by the spring and also held in this position.
  • This fitting is designed so that all drawers, for example a storage cabinet or a desk, can be brought into the extended position. For safety reasons, however, only one drawer should be extendable if possible. On the other hand, it is also desired that the drawers remain in the closed position so that the front panel rests against the front of the piece of furniture without any gaps.
  • Another disadvantage is the fact that the drawer cannot be moved back into the closed position if the rotary slide is inadvertently pivoted into the position corresponding to the closed position of the drawer when the drawer is extended.
  • the present invention is based on the object of further developing a fitting of the type mentioned at the outset such that only one of a plurality of drawers can be pulled out, each drawer being pulled into the closed position over a relatively short distance and being held in this position, and that in spite of incorrect operation, each drawer can be brought into the closed position, with the intention of preventing the inserted drawer from springing back if it is retracted at too high a speed or too much force.
  • the rotary slide valve now has the task not only of bringing the drawer to be retracted into the closed position over the last relatively short section to be held, but also of preventing the remaining drawers from being extended when the drawer is extended in cooperation with the blocking rail .
  • the rotary valve can therefore be seen in the sense of a drive element for the blocking rail.
  • the double function results in a particularly simple construction.
  • the fitting in question is referred to in the industry as a self-closing fitting.
  • a spring-back is achieved not only by the fe ⁇ rough congested rotary vane, but also by the menyog together det * 'rotation rail with the locking rail, which accordingly a braking member is formed.
  • subclaim 2 ensure that when the drawer is extended, the switching cam which is moved in synchronous operation first strikes the free edge of the spring bar, thereby moving the entire rotary slide and at the same time rotating it over a partial distance so that the switching cam comes out of engagement with the rotary valve.
  • the rotary valve normally remains in this position.
  • the switch cam runs onto the stop cam of the rotary slide valve, whereby the rotary slide valve is moved back into the starting position against the previous movement while simultaneously rotating in opposite directions.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of the fitting when the drawer is pushed in along a line AA in FIG. 5
  • FIG. 2 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 1, but with the drawer extended
  • FIG. 3 shows a view of the blocking rail 1 according to line DD in FIG. 6
  • FIG. 4 is a view of the blocking rail in the position of the rotary. slide or the drawer according to FIG. 2, likewise according to line DD in FIG. 6, FIG. 5, an end view of the fitting in the direction of arrow C in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 a top view in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1.
  • the fitting shown in the figures is screwed onto the inner surface of a side wall 10 of a piece of furniture at the smallest possible distance from the front side.
  • a fitting is necessary for each drawer 11 indicated in FIG. 5. It is sufficient for the function if the fitting is provided on one side. 5 that it lies above the drawer 11. This arrangement is appropriate since the height of the front plate of a drawer is normally greater than the height of the actual drawer.
  • the fitting has a rotary slide 12, which has a suspension pin 13 for a tension spring 14 on the side facing away from the furniture body.
  • the other end of the tension spring 14 is suspended from a pin of a shaped body 15 which will be explained in more detail.
  • the rotary slide valve 12 is connected via a switch cam 16 attached to the drawer 11.
  • the switching cam 16 is formed on a block 17, which is fixed to an angled leg of the side wall of the drawer 11 by means of an angle bracket 13.
  • a driving pin 19 is attached to the rotary slide valve 12 on the side facing the side wall 10 of the furniture body, the central longitudinal axis of which is aligned with the central longitudinal axis of the hanging pin 13 for the tension spring 14. These central longitudinal axes form the axis of rotation of the rotary slide 12.
  • the driving pin 19 penetrates a horizontal guide groove 20 provided in the shaped body 15.
  • the length of the driving pin 19 is so large that the free end face passes through the guide groove 20 and into an angular groove 21 of a blocking rail 22 engages.
  • 6 shows that the blocking rail 22 is displaceably guided in a guide channel 23.
  • the length of the guide groove 20 and the width of the blocking rail 22 are essentially the same.
  • the guide groove 20 opens into the guide channel 23.
  • the blocking rail has at least as many waving grooves 21 as the furniture contains drawers 11. In the cutouts according to FIGS. 3 and 4, however, several angular grooves are provided in order to be able to use the same locking rails 22 for drawers of different heights. In the partial sections, only the upper and lower angular grooves 21 are used, as will be explained.
  • the rotary slide 12 On the side facing away from the side wall 10, the rotary slide 12 has a stop cam 25 which is offset with respect to its axis of rotation and a spring bar 26 which is at an acute angle to the plane of movement of the rotary slide 12.
  • the spring bar 26 In the closed position of the drawer 11 shown in FIG. 1, the spring bar 26 is at the same height as the stop cam 25.
  • the distance between the mutually facing surfaces of the stop cam 25 and the spring bar 26 is so large that the Switching cams 16 can engage in the space limited thereby.
  • the drawer 10 is removed from the furniture retracted, the switching cam 16 moves in synchronism in the direction of arrow E.
  • the rotary valve is moved in a synchronous linear movement with simultaneous rotation according to the representations according to FIGS. 1 and 2 counterclockwise.
  • the switching cam 16 moves out of the space delimited by the stop cam 25 and the spring bar 16.
  • 3 shows the position of the driving pins 19 of two drawers 11 arranged one above the other in the closed position. Due to the linear movement of the rotary slide 12 by the extension of the upper drawer 11, the driving pin 19 lifts the blocking rail 22.
  • the angular grooves 21 consist of a vertically running section and an inclined part standing under it. The vertical section is close to the long side facing away from the front of the furniture. The sloping section extends essentially over the entire width of the blocking rail 22. If all the drawers 11 are in the 'closed position , all the driving pins 19 of the rotary slide 12 lie at the apex of the two sections.
  • the blocking rail 22 is moved upward in the present embodiment.
  • the driving pins 19 of the remaining rotary slide valves 12 reach the vertical part of the angular grooves 21. From FIG. 4 it can be seen that the lower drawer 11 can then no longer be moved out of the closed position.
  • the rotary slide valve 12 has a guide plate 27 to which the stop cam 25 and the spring bar 26 are molded.
  • the guide plate 27 to which the stop cam 25 and the spring bar 26 are molded.
  • the guide plate 27 is guided in two vertically superimposed slots of the shaped body 15.
  • the guide plate 27 is circular, so that rotation is possible. However, so that it is better guided in the slots, it has two guide surfaces at right angles to one another on the side facing the front of the piece of furniture.
  • the outer webs delimiting the slots for the guide plate 27 are designed in the form of a circular arc in the area facing the front side of the piece of furniture, the center coinciding with the central longitudinal axis of the driving pin 19 of the rotary slide valve 12, based on the one shown in FIG. 2 Position of the rotary valve 12 with the drawer 11 pulled out.
  • the arcs interact with the stop cams 25 and the detent and guide bracket 28 so that the rotary valve 12 remains in the position shown in FIG. 2 until the switching cam 16 against the outer surface of the stop cam 25 bumps.
  • the molded body 15 is T-shaped. It can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6 that it is composed of two parts 29, 30 with essentially the same basic contour. This makes assembly easier. Every part
  • the angular grooves 21 are designed as openings. - 8th -

Abstract

Une ferrure pour meubles comprenant une pluralité de tiroirs superposés empêche l'ouverture de plus d'un tiroir à la fois. En outre, chaque tiroir revient automatiquement à la position de fermeture et reste dans cette position. A cet effet, la ferrure comprend une coulisse rotative (12) mise en rotation par une came de commutation (16) qui suit le mouvement du tiroir (11), et entraînée par celle-ci sur un trajet relativement réduit. La coulisse rotative (12) reste dans cette position jusqu'à son déverrouillage par la came de commutation lors du retour du tiroir (11) à la position de fermeture, la coulisse rotative (12) entraînant le tiroir (11) lorsqu'elle revient à sa position de départ. Cette ferrure convient notamment à des meubles de bureau.
