Abstract

The closing fitting for a drawer mounted slidably in a furniture body (10) is designed so that the drawer, when introduced over a short distance, is drawn into the closing position and is held in this position. The closing fitting is equipped with a rotatably mounted rotary slide (12) movable under the effect of a spring (14). When the drawer is being moved out, the rotary slide (12) is also moved by a switch projection (16) fastened to the drawer and at the same time is rotated over a part distance so far that the switch projection (16) comes out of engagement with the rotary slide (12) and the rotary slide is retained in the release position. When the drawer is being moved in, the switch projection (16) comes up against a stop projection (25) of the rotary slide, with the result that the rotary slide is moved back into the initial position under the spring effect in the opposite direction to the preceding movement, at the same time rotating in the opposite direction, and draws the drawer into the closing position. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schließbeschlag für einen in einem Möbel gleitbar gelagerten Schubkasten.The invention relates to a lock fitting for a drawer slidably mounted in furniture.

Es ist bekannt, (z.B. aus Dokument DE-A-2 131 548) die in einem Möbelkorpus angeordneten Schubkästen mit einer Ausziehführung auszurüsten, die aus einer korpusseitigen Tragschiene und einer schubladenseitigen Ausziehschiene besteht, die an beiden Längsseiten des Schubkastens vorgesehen werden. Für die Lastübertragung zwischen den schubkastenseitigen Ausziehschienen und den korpusseitigen Tragschienen können Laufrollen, Kugeln oder Gleiter vorgesehen sein.It is known (e.g. from document DE-A-2 131 548) to equip the drawers arranged in a furniture body with a pull-out guide which consists of a body-side mounting rail and a drawer-side pull-out rail which are provided on both long sides of the drawer. Rollers, balls or sliders can be provided for the load transfer between the drawer-side pull-out rails and the body-side support rails.

Die Schubkästen werden häufig nicht vollständig in die hintere Endstellung in den Möbelkorpus eingefahren und stehen mit ihrer Frontplatte vor.The drawers are often not fully moved into the rear end position in the furniture body and protrude with their front panel.

Das Abstehen der Frontplatte des Schubkastens von der Möbelfront kann auch dadurch entstehen, daß der Schubkasten mit zuviel Schwung in den Möbelkorpus eingefahren wurde, so daß der Schubkasten durch die überschüssige Energie wieder nach vorne sich bewegt.The protrusion of the front panel of the drawer from the furniture front can also result from the drawer being inserted into the furniture body with too much momentum, so that the drawer moves forward again due to the excess energy.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schließbeschlag für einen in einem Möbel gleitbar gelagerten Schubkasten so zu gestalten, daß der Schubkasten beim Einfahren über eine kurze Strecke in die Schließstellung gezogen und in dieser Stellung gehalten wird, und daß ein Rückfedern des eingeschobenen Schubkastens verhindert wird, wenn dieser mit zu großer Geschwindigkeit oder zu großer Kraft in den Möbelkorpus eingefahren wird.The invention has for its object to design a lock fitting for a drawer slidably mounted in a piece of furniture so that the drawer is pulled into the closed position and held in this position when it is retracted over a short distance, and that springing back of the inserted drawer is prevented if it is inserted into the furniture body at too high a speed or too much force.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Schließbeschlages gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgezeigt.Advantageous developments of the locking fitting according to the characterizing part of claim 1 are shown in the subclaims.

Der Drehschieber kann einen Federsteg aufweisen, so daß beim Ausfahren des Schubkastens der im Synchronlauf mitbewegte Schaltnocken zunächst gegen die freie Kante des Federsteges stößt, dadurch den gesamten Drehschieber mitbewegt und ihn gleichzeitig über eine Teilstrecke so weit dreht, daß der Schaltnocken ausser Eingriff mit dem Drehschieber kommt. Der Drehschieber verharrt normalerweise in dieser Freigabestellung. Beim Einfahren des Schubkastens läuft der Schaltnocken auf den Anschlagnocken des Drehschiebers auf, wodurch der Drehschieber entgegen der vorherigen Bewegung unter gleichzeitiger gegensinniger Drehung in die Ausgangsstellung zurückbewegt wird.The rotary slide valve can have a spring bar, so that when the drawer is extended, the switching cam that moves in synchronism firstly strikes the free edge of the spring bar, thereby moving the entire rotary slide valve and simultaneously rotating it over a partial distance so that the switching cam disengages from the rotary slide valve is coming. The rotary valve normally remains in this release position. When the drawer is retracted, 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.

Wird jedoch in der ausgefahrenen Stellung des Schubkastens der Drehschieber manuell in die der Schließstellung des Schubkastens entsprechende Lage gebracht, so läuft der Schaltnocken auf den Federsteg auf, wodurch dieser ausgelenkt wird, so daß der Schaltnocken in den von dem Anschlagnocken und dem Federsteg begrenzten Zwischenraum einfahren kann.However, if in the extended position of the drawer the rotary valve is brought manually into the position corresponding to the closed position of the drawer, the switch cam runs onto the spring bar, whereby this is deflected so that the switch cam moves into the space delimited by the stop cam and the spring bar can.

Nach der Lehre des Anspruches 4 verbleibt der Drehschieber bei ausgefahrenem Schubkasten in seiner Winkelstellung, so daß die Überwindung eines Totpunktes entfällt, wozu zunächst die Federkraft in ungünstiger Weise vergrößert werden müßte.According to the teaching of claim 4, the rotary valve remains in its angular position when the drawer is extended, so that there is no need to overcome a dead center, for which purpose the spring force would first have to be increased in an unfavorable manner.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 5 wird erreicht, daß für die bewegliche Lagerung des Drehschiebers nur ein Einzelteil notwendig ist, wodurch die Montage vereinfacht wird.It is achieved by the features of claim 5 that only a single part is necessary for the movable mounting of the rotary valve, whereby the assembly is simplified.

Die Vorteile der Merkmale der weiteren Unteransprüche ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels.The advantages of the features of the further subclaims result from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment.

Der in den Figuren aufgezeigte Beschlag ist an der Innenfläche einer Seitenwand 10 eines Möbels in einem geringstmöglichen Abstand zur Frontseite angeschraubt. Für jeden in der Fig. 3 andeutungsweise dargestellten Schubkasten 11 ist ein Beschlag notwendig. Für die Funktion ist es ausreichend, wenn an einer Seite der Beschlag vorgesehen wird. Aus der Fig. 3 ist erkennbar, daß er oberhalb des Schubkastens 11 liegt. Diese Anordnung bietet sich an, da normalerweise die Höhe der Frontplatte eines Schubkastens größer ist als die Höhe des eigentlichen Schubkastens.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. A fitting is necessary for each drawer 11 indicated in FIG. 3. It is sufficient for the function if the fitting is provided on one side. From Fig. 3 it can be seen that it is above the drawer 11. This arrangement is advisable since the height of the front panel of a drawer is usually greater than the height of the actual drawer.

Der Beschlag weist einen Drehschieber 12 auf, der an der dem Möbelkorpus abgewandt liegenden Seite mit einem Einhängezapfen 13 für eine Zugfeder 14 versehen ist. Das andere Ende der Zugfeder 14 ist an einem Stift eines am Möbelkorpus festgelegten Formkörpers 15 aufgehängt. Die Zugfeder 14 steht unter Vorspannung. In der Schließstellung des Schubkastens 11 greift in den Drehschieber 12 ein am Schubkasten 11 befestigter Schaltnocken 16 ein. Wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, ist der Schaltnocken 16 an einem Klotz 17 angeformt, der mittels eines Befestigungswinkels 18 an einem abgewinkelten Schenkel der Seitenwand des Schubkastens 11 festgelegt ist.The fitting has a rotary slide 12 which is provided on the side facing away from the furniture body with a hanging pin 13 for a tension spring 14. The other end of the tension spring 14 is suspended from a pin of a molded body 15 fixed on the furniture body. The tension spring 14 is under tension. In the closed position of the drawer 11, a switching cam 16 attached to the drawer 11 engages in the rotary slide 12. As shown in FIG. 3, 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 a fastening bracket 18.

An dem Drehschieber 12 ist an der der Seitenwand 10 des Möbelkorpus zugewandten Seite ein Mitnahmezapfen 19 angesetzt, dessen Mittellängsachse zu der Mittellängsachse des Einhängezapfens 13 für die Zugfeder 14 fluchtet. Diese Mittellängsachsen bilden die Drehachse des Drehschiebers 12. Der Mitnahmezapfen 19 durchdringt eine im Formkörper 15 vorgesehene horizontale Führungsnut 20.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 molded body 15.

An der der Seitenwand 10 abgewandt liegenden Seite weist der Drehschieber 12 einen versetzt zu seiner Drehachse liegenden Anschlagnocken 25 und einen Federsteg 26 auf, der unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Bewegungsebene des Drehschiebers 12 steht. In der in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Schließstellung des Schubkastens 11 liegt der Federsteg 26 auf gleicher Höhe wie der Anschlagnocken 25. Der Abstand zwischen den einander zugewandt liegenden Flächen des Anschlagnockens 25 und des Federsteges 26 ist so groß, daß der Schaltnocken 16 in den dadurch begrenzten Raum eingreifen kann. Wird der Schubkasten 10 aus dem Möbel herausgefahren, bewegt sich der Schaltnocken 16 im Synchronlauf in Pfeilrichtung E. Dadurch wird der Drehschieber in einer synchronen Linearbewegung unter gleichzeitiger Drehung nach den Darstellungen gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn bewegt. In einer bestimmten Winkelstellung des Drehschiebers 12 fährt der Schaltnocken 16 aus den von dem Anschlagnocken 25 und dem Federsteg 16 begrenzten Raum heraus.On the side facing away from the side wall 10, the rotary slide valve 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 valve 12. 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 cam 16 in the thereby limited space can intervene. If the drawer 10 is moved out of the furniture, the switching cam 16 moves in the synchronous direction in the direction of arrow E. As a result, the rotary slide is moved in a synchronous linear movement with simultaneous rotation according to the representations according to FIGS. 1 and 2 counterclockwise. In a certain angular position of the rotary valve 12, the switching cam 16 moves out of the space delimited by the stop cam 25 and the spring bar 16.

Der Drehschieber 12 weist eine Führungsplatte 27 auf, an die der Anschlagnocken 25 und der Federsteg 26 angeformt sind. Die Führungsplatte 27 ist in zwei vertikal übereinanderliegenden Schlitzen des Formkörpers 15 geführt. In der Grundkontur ist die Führungsplatte 27 kreisrund, damit eine Drehung möglich ist. Damit sie jedoch in den Schlitzen besser geführt ist, hat sie an der der Frontseite des Möbels zugewandt liegenden Seite zwei im rechten Winkel zueinander stehende Führungsflächen. An der Führungsplatte 27 ist noch ein weiterer Rast- und Führungswinkel 28 angeformt, der eine parallel zur unteren Führungsfläche der Führungsplatte 27 stehende Gleitfläche aufweist. Dadurch wird der Drehschieber 12 während der Linearbewegung einwandfrei geführt. Die die Schlitze für die Führungsplatte 27 begrenzenden äußeren Stege sind in dem der Frontseite des Möbels zugewandt liegenden Bereich kreisbogenförmig gestaltet, wobei der Mittelpunkt mit der Mittellängsachse des Mitnahmezapfens 19 des Drehschiebers 12 zusammenfällt, bezogen auf die in der Fig. 2 dargestellte Stellung des Drehschiebers 12 bei ausgezogenem Schubkasten 11. Die Kreisbögen wirken mit den Anschlagnocken 25 und dem Rast- und Führungswinkel 28 so zusammen, daß der Drehschieber 12 in der in der Fig. 2 dargestellten Stellung solange verbleibt, bis der Schaltnocken 16 gegen die äußere Fläche des Anschlagnockens 25 stößt.The rotary valve 12 has a guide plate 27, on 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 molded body 15. In the basic contour, 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 furniture. A further detent and guide angle 28 is formed on the guide plate 27 and has a sliding surface that is parallel to the lower guide surface of the guide plate 27. As a result, the rotary valve 12 is guided properly during the linear movement. 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 of the piece of furniture, the center coinciding with the central longitudinal axis of the driving pin 19 of the rotary slide 12, with reference to the position of the rotary slide 12 shown in FIG. 2 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 slide 12 remains in the position shown in FIG. 2 until the switch cam 16 abuts the outer surface of the stop cam 25 .

Wie besonders aus den Fig. 1 und 2 erkennbar, ist der Formkörper 15 T-förmig ausgebildet. Aus den Fig. 3 und 4 ergibt sich, daß der aus zwei Teilen 29,30 mit im wesentlichen gleicher Grundkontur zusammengesetzt. Dadurch wird eine einfachere Montage erreicht. Die Teile 29,30 sind an der der Front des Möbels abgewandt liegenden Seite über ein Filmscharnier 33 miteinander verbunden, so daß nach dem Einsetzen des Drehschiebers 12 und der Zugfeder 14 die Teile 29,30 zum Anschrauben an die Seitenwand 10 zusammengeklappt werden können. Durch die scharnierartige Ausbildung kann niemals ein Teil 29 bzw. 30 verlorengehen.As can be seen particularly from FIGS. 1 and 2, the molded body 15 is T-shaped. 3 and 4 that it is composed of two parts 29, 30 with essentially the same basic contour. This makes assembly easier. The parts 29, 30 are connected to one another on the side facing away from the front of the furniture via a film hinge 33, so that after the insertion of the rotary slide 12 and the tension spring 14, the parts 29, 30 can be folded together for screwing onto the side wall 10. Due to the hinge-like design, a part 29 or 30 can never be lost.

Außer der Zugfeder 14 sind alle Teile aus Kunststoff im Spritzverfahren hergestellt. Neben einer wirtschaftlichen Fertigung ist besonders die Funktion des Drehschiebers 12 sichergestellt, da die form- und materialfedernden Eigenschaften eines Kunststoffes ausgenutzt werden können.Except for the tension spring 14, all parts are made of plastic by injection molding. In addition to economical production, the function of the rotary valve 12 is ensured in particular, since the shape and material spring properties of a plastic can be exploited.
