Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beschlag für einen Eckschrank, insbesondere Kücheneckschrank, der ein Schrankgehäuse mit einer über Eck verlaufenden Schranköffnung und ein im Schrankgehäuse angeordnetes Karussell mit einer ortsfest drehbar gelagerten Drehsäule, mindestens einem Fachboden und einem der Schranköffnung zugeordneten Frontelement aufweist, wobei das Frontelement zwischen einer die Schranköffnung verschließenden Schließstellung und einer nach innen zur Drehsäule hin parallel versetzten, ein Verdrehen des Karussells gestattenden Drehbereitschaftsstellung hin und her bewegbar ist, indem an zwei mit Höhenabstand zueinander angeordneten Stellen jeweils eine untere bzw. eine obere Führungseinrichtung angeordnet ist, die jeweils eine am Frontelement sitzende Trageinheit und eine fest mit der Drehsäule verbundene, die Trageinheit verschiebbar geführt haltende Halteeinheit aufweisen (siehe die Druckschrift DE-A-4 026 197).The invention relates to a fitting for a corner cupboard, in particular a kitchen corner cupboard, which has a cupboard housing with a corner opening cupboard opening and a carousel arranged in the cupboard housing with a rotatably mounted rotating column, at least one shelf and one front element assigned to the cupboard opening, the front element being between a the closed closing position of the cabinet opening and a standby position in parallel to the rotating column, which allows the carousel to be rotated, can be moved back and forth by arranging a lower and an upper guide device at two points spaced apart from each other, one each on the front element have a seated support unit and a holding unit which is fixedly connected to the rotating column and which holds the support unit in a displaceably guided manner (see the document DE-A-4 026 197).

Bei einem aus dem DE-GM 90 14 366 bekannten Beschlag werden die beiden Führungseinrichtungen jeweils von einem vom Frontelement abstehenden Rohr als Trageinheit und einem von der Drehsäule abstehenden Rohr als Halteeinheit gebildet, wobei die beiden Rohre teleskopartig ineinander geführt sind.In a fitting known from DE-GM 90 14 366, the two guide devices are each provided by a tube protruding from the front element as a supporting unit and one by Rotating column protruding tube formed as a holding unit, the two tubes being telescoped.

Dies ergibt jedoch nur eine ungenaue Führung des Frontelements, so daß es beim Verschieben beispielsweise zu Verkantungen oder zu einem unsauberen Verschließen der Schranköffnung kommen kann.However, this only results in an imprecise guidance of the front element, so that, for example, tilting or improper closing of the cabinet opening can occur when moving.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Beschlag mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen zu schaffen, mit dessen Hilfe das Frontelement sicher und stabil geführt wird und dabei seine einmal einjustierte Lage stets unverändert beibehält. Dies soll mit möglichst einfachen Mitteln erreicht werden. Ausserdem sollen die Herstellungskosten möglichst niedrig sein.The present invention has for its object to provide a fitting with the features mentioned, with the help of which the front element is guided securely and stably and always maintains its once-adjusted position unchanged. This should be achieved with the simplest possible means. In addition, the manufacturing costs should be as low as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Halteeinheit der unteren Führungseinrichtung und die Halteeinheit der oberen Führungseinrichtung über eine ortsfest drehbar an ihnen gelagerte, zur Drehsäule parallele Verbindungswelle miteinander verbunden sind, an der im Bereich jeder Führungseinrichtung ein Zahnkranz angeordnet ist, der mit einer an der zugewandten Trageinheit sitzenden, in Verschieberichtung verlaufenden Zahnleiste kämmt.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the holding unit of the lower guide device and the holding unit of the upper guide device are connected to one another via a connecting shaft which is rotatably mounted on them and parallel to the rotating column and on which a toothed ring is arranged in the region of each guide device and is connected to one of them combs the facing support unit seated, extending in the direction of tooth rack.

Mit Hilfe dieser Verbindungswelle werden die beiden Führungseinrichtungen miteinander gekoppelt, so daß sich oben und unten ein genauer Gleichlauf ergibt. Verschiebt man das Frontelement und mit diesem die obere und die untere Zahnleiste, treiben diese die beiden Zahnkränze an. Aufgrund der dabei auftretenden Wechselwirkungen können keine Unregelmässigkeiten auftreten, so daß eine sichere, stabile und leicht gängige Führung vorliegt. Irgend welche ungewollten Lageveränderungen des Frontelementes sind nicht möglich. Die hierfür benötigten Maßnahmen in Gestalt der Verbindungswelle und der Zahnleisten sind verhältnismäßig einfacher Natur und somit auch billig in der Fertigung.With the help of this connecting shaft, the two guide devices are coupled to one another, so that there is precise synchronization at the top and bottom. If you move the front element and with it the upper and lower rack, they drive the two sprockets. Because of the interactions that occur No irregularities can occur, so that there is a safe, stable and easy-to-use guide. Any unwanted changes in the position of the front element are not possible. The measures required for this in the form of the connecting shaft and the toothed strips are relatively simple in nature and therefore also inexpensive to manufacture.

Ein Kücheneckschrank 1 einer Einbauküche weist ein Schrankgehäuse mit zwei Seitenwänden 2,3 auf, die rechtwinkelig zueinander gerichtet sind und mit ihren vorderen Stirnseiten eine Schranköffnung 6 begrenzen. Beim Einbau in die Einbauküche kann an jede Seitenwand 2,3 ein weiteres Küchenelement anschließen, so daß sich eine L-förmige Eckanordnung ergibt. Die bereits erwähnte Schranköffnung 6 verläuft über Eck, wobei die Winkelhalbierende des Ecks durch die Mitte der Schranköffnung 6 geht. Das Schrankgehäuse weist ferner einen Schrankboden 8, eine Deckplatte 9 und eine nicht dargestellte Rückwand auf. Zur oberseitigen Halterung der Rückwand ist im Bereich der Schrankoberseite ein hinten kreisförmig umlaufendes Flacheisenband 10 od.dgl. vorhanden, das von einem von Stäben gebildeten Haltekreuz 11 gehalten wird. Der Verlauf des Flacheisenbandes 10 entspricht dem des Umfangs des Schrankbodens 8, so daß an diesen beiden Teilen die eine entsprechende Wölbung aufweisende Rückwand angebracht werden kann. Die Deckplatte 9 schließlich wird auf das Haltekreuz 11 und die Seitenwände 2,3 aufgesetzt.A kitchen corner cabinet 1 of a fitted kitchen has a cabinet housing with two side walls 2, 3 which are directed at right angles to one another and limit a cabinet opening 6 with their front end faces. When installing in the fitted kitchen can each side wall 2,3 connect another kitchen element, so that there is an L-shaped corner arrangement. The cabinet opening 6 already mentioned runs over a corner, the bisector of the corner passing through the middle of the cabinet opening 6. The cabinet housing also has a cabinet base 8, a cover plate 9 and a rear wall, not shown. For holding the rear wall on the top side, a flat iron band 10 or the like which is circular at the rear is provided in the area of the top of the cabinet. available, which is held by a support cross 11 formed by rods. The course of the flat iron strip 10 corresponds to that of the circumference of the cabinet floor 8, so that the rear wall having a corresponding curvature can be attached to these two parts. Finally, the cover plate 9 is placed on the holding cross 11 and the side walls 2, 3.

Der Schrankboden 8 und die Deckplatte 9 weisen im Bereich der Schranköffnung 6 einen beim Ausführungsbeispiel rechteckigen Ausschnitt 12 bzw. 13 auf, dessen Endkanten, beispielsweise die Endkanten 14,15 des Ausschnitts 13, in Draufsicht von oben gesehen im wesentlichen an den Stellen der vorderen Stirnseiten 4,5 der Seitenwände 2,3 angeordnet sind.In the area of the cabinet opening 6, the cabinet base 8 and the cover plate 9 have a cutout 12 or 13 which is rectangular in the exemplary embodiment, the end edges of which, for example the end edges 14, 15 of the cutout 13, viewed in plan view from above essentially at the locations of the front end faces 4.5 of the side walls 2.3 are arranged.

In diesem Schrankgehäuse ist ein Karussell 16 angeordnet, das eine ortsfest drehbar gelagerte Drehsäule 17 besitzt. Dabei kann die Drehsäule 17 beispielsweise auf einen vom Schrankboden 8 hochstehenden Drehlagerbolzen 18 aufgesteckt sein. An der Oberseite kann eine entsprechende Drehlagerung vorhanden sein. Dabei kann das Haltekreuz 11 auf die Drehsäule 17 aufgesetzt sein.A carousel 16 is arranged in this cabinet housing and has a rotating column 17 which is mounted so as to be stationary. In this case, the rotary column 17 can, for example, be plugged onto a pivot bearing pin 18 which stands up from the cabinet base 8. A corresponding pivot bearing can be provided on the top. The support cross 11 can be placed on the rotating column 17.

Das Karussell 16 weist ferner einen unteren Fachboden 19 und einen oberen Fachboden 20 auf (prinzipiell könnte auch nur ein Fachboden vorhanden sein, ebenso wie man mehr als zwei Fachböden unterbringen könnte), die drehfest an der Drehsäule 17 sitzen und in der Zeichnung der Übersichtlichkeit wegen nur gestrichelt angedeutet sind. Des weiteren gehört zu dem Karussell 16 noch ein Frontelement 21, das der Schranköffnung 6 zugeordnet ist. Dieses Frontelement 21 besteht beim Ausführungsbeispiel aus zwei starr miteinander verbundenen, rechtwinkelig zueinander angeordneten Frontplatten 22,23. Das so gebildete Inneneck entspricht den Ausschnitten 12,13 des Schrankbodens 8 und der Deckplatte 9.The carousel 16 also has a lower shelf 19 and an upper shelf 20 (in principle there could also be only one shelf, just as one could accommodate more than two shelves), which are non-rotatably on the rotating column 17 and in the drawing for clarity are only indicated by dashed lines. Furthermore, the carousel 16 also includes a front element 21 which is assigned to the cabinet opening 6. In the exemplary embodiment, this front element 21 consists of two rigidly connected front plates 22, 23 arranged at right angles to one another. The inner corner thus formed corresponds to the cutouts 12, 13 of the cabinet base 8 and the cover plate 9.

Das Frontelement 21 und die Ausschnitte 12,13 könnten jedoch auch eine von der dargestellten Rechteckgestalt abweichende Form besitzen. Es könnte sich beispielsweise um eine sich linear über die Schranköffnung 6 gehende Gestalt oder um eine abgerundet eingebauchte Gestalt handeln.However, the front element 21 and the cutouts 12, 13 could also have a shape that deviates from the rectangular shape shown. It could be, for example, a shape that extends linearly over the cabinet opening 6 or a rounded, indented shape.

Das Frontelement 21 ist ebenfalls drehfest mit der Drehsäule 17 verbunden. Die Fachböden 19,20 weisen an der Stelle des Frontelements 21 einen an dessen Kontur angepaßten Ausschnitt auf, der jedoch mit Bezug auf die Ausschnitte 12,13 etwas nach innen versetzt ist, so daß das Frontelement 21 aus seiner die Schranköffnung 6 verschließenden Schließstellung (Fig. 1,2,3 und 7) in eine nach innen zur Drehsäule 17 hin parallel versetzte Drehbereitschaftsstellung (Fig. 4) verschoben werden kann.The front element 21 is also non-rotatably connected to the rotating column 17. The shelves 19, 20 have, at the location of the front element 21, a cutout that is adapted to its contour, but is offset somewhat inwards with respect to the cutouts 12, 13, so that the front element 21 can be moved out of its closed position that closes the cabinet opening 6 (FIG 1, 2, 3 and 7) can be shifted into a ready-to-turn position (FIG. 4) which is offset parallel to the rotating column 17.

In der Schließstellung überdeckt das Frontelement 21 die vorderen Stirnseiten 4,5 der Schrankseitenwände 2,3. Daher läßt sich in dieser Stellung des Frontelements 21 das Karussell 16 nicht verdrehen. Ein solches Verdrehen wird erst dann möglich, wenn das Frontelement 21 zur Drehsäule 17 hin verschoben wird, so daß das Frontelement 21 von den Seitenwand-Stirnseiten 4,5 freikommt und sich an den Innenseiten der Seitenwände vorbeidrehen kann.In the closed position, the front element 21 covers the front end faces 4, 5 of the cabinet side walls 2, 3. Therefore in this position of the front element 21 do not twist the carousel 16. Such twisting is only possible when the front element 21 is displaced towards the rotating column 17, so that the front element 21 is released from the side wall end faces 4, 5 and can turn past the inner sides of the side walls.

Die radiale Bewegbarkeit des Frontelements 21 zwischen der Schließstellung und der Drehbereitschaftsstellung wird mittels eines Eckschrankbeschlags erreicht, der eine untere Führungseinrichtung 24 und eine obere Führungseinrichtung 25 enthält, die an zwei mit Höhenabstand zueinander liegenden Stellen angeordnet sind. Dabei sind die beiden Führungseinrichtung 24,25 im wesentlichen gleich aufgebaut, weshalb im folgenden für die entsprechenden Teile der beiden Führungseinrichtungen die gleichen Bezugsziffern unter Hinzufügen eines "a" bei der oberen Führungseinrichtung verwendet werden.The radial mobility of the front element 21 between the closed position and the ready-to-turn position is achieved by means of a corner cupboard fitting which contains a lower guide device 24 and an upper guide device 25, which are arranged at two points at a distance from one another. The two guide devices 24, 25 are constructed essentially the same, which is why the same reference numbers are used below for the corresponding parts of the two guide devices, with the addition of an "a" in the upper guide device.

Jede Führungseinrichtung 24,25 weist eine am Frontelement 21 sitzende Trageinheit 26; 26a und eine fest mit der Drehsäule 17 verbundene, die Trageinheit 26; 26a verschiebbar geführt haltende Halteeinheit 27; 27a auf. Dabei sind die Halteeinheit 27 der unteren Führungseinrichtung 24 und die Halteeinheit 27a der oberen Führungseinrichtung 25 über eine ortsfest drehbar an den beiden Halteeinheiten gelagerte, zur Drehsäule 17 parallele Verbindungswelle 28 miteinander verbunden, an der im Bereich jeder Führungseinrichtung ein Zahnkranz 29 bzw. 30 angeordnet ist, der mit einer an der zugewandten Trageinheit 26; 26a sitzenden, in Verschieberichtung (parallel zur Winkelhalbierenden 7) verlaufenden Zahnleiste 31;31a kämmt. Verschiebt man das Frontelement 21 und mit diesem die mit ihm verbundenen Trageinheiten 26; 26a in der genannten Richtung, bewegen sich die Zahnleisten 31;31a an den beiden Zahnkränzen 29,30 der Verbindungswelle 28 vorbei, so daß die Verbindungswelle 28 an beiden Wellenenden zu einer Drehbewegung angetrieben wird. Auf diese Weise führen die beiden das Frontelement 21 tragenden Trageinheiten 26; 26a eine gekoppelte und somit genau gleiche Verschiebebewegung aus.Each guide device 24, 25 has a support unit 26; 26a and a support unit 26; 26a holding unit 27; 27a. The holding unit 27 of the lower guide device 24 and the holding unit 27a of the upper guide device 25 are connected to one another via a connecting shaft 28, which is rotatably mounted on the two holding units in a stationary manner and parallel to the rotating column 17 and on which a toothed ring 29 or 30 is arranged in the region of each guide device , which with a on the facing support unit 26; 26a seated, in the direction of displacement (parallel to bisector 7) running toothed rack 31; 31a combs. Moves the front element 21 and with this the support units 26 connected to it; 26a in the direction mentioned, the toothed strips 31, 31a move past the two ring gears 29, 30 of the connecting shaft 28, so that the connecting shaft 28 is driven to rotate at both shaft ends. In this way, the two support units 26 carrying the front element 21; 26a a coupled and thus exactly the same displacement movement.

Die Verbindungswelle 28 ist zweckmäßigerweise zwischen der Drehsäule 17 und dem Frontelement 21 angeordnet. Dabei befindet sie sich auf der durch die Drehsäule 17 gehenden Eckschrank-Winkelhalbierenden 7.The connecting shaft 28 is expediently arranged between the rotary column 17 and the front element 21. It is located on the corner cabinet bisector 7 passing through the rotary column 17.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die jeweilige Trageinheit 26;26a hängend an der Unterseite der zugeordneten Halteeinheit 27; 27a angeordnet. Dies gibt beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, die fest mit der Drehsäule verbundenen Halteeinheiten 27;27a als Unterlage für die Fachböden 19,20 zu benutzen.In the preferred embodiment, the respective support unit 26; 26a is suspended on the underside of the associated holding unit 27; 27a arranged. This gives, for example, the possibility of using the holding units 27; 27a which are firmly connected to the rotating column as a base for the shelves 19, 20.

Die Befestigung der Halteeinheit an der Drehsäule 17 kann beispielsweise durch Schweißen (untere Halteeinheit 27) oder durch Verschrauben mit dem Radialflansch 32 einer von oben her auf die Drehsäule 17 aufgesetzten und an dieser beispielsweise mittels einer Klemmschraube festgelegten Ringhülse 33 erfolgen (obere Halteeinheit 27a).The holding unit can be fastened to the rotating column 17, for example by welding (lower holding unit 27) or by screwing to the radial flange 32 of an annular sleeve 33 which is placed on the rotating column 17 from above and fixed thereon, for example by means of a clamping screw (upper holding unit 27a).

Zur Stabilität der Verschiebeführung trägt ferner bei, daß die Halteeinheit 27;27a beiderseits der Drehsäule 17 und der Verbindungswelle 28 jeweils ein sich in Verschieberichtung erstreckendes Führungsglied 34,35; 34a,35a und die Trageinheit 26;26a zwei den Führungsgliedern zugeordnete und mit diesen in Führungseingriff stehende Führungselemente 36, 37;36a,37a aufweist, so daß innerhalb jeder Führungseinrichtung 24,25 sozusagen eine zweigleisige Führung stattfindet.The stability of the sliding guide also contributes to that the holding unit 27, 27a on both sides of the rotary column 17 and the connecting shaft 28 each have a guide member 34, 35; 34a, 35a and the carrying unit 26; 26a have two guide elements 36, 37; 36a, 37a which are assigned to the guide members and are in guide engagement therewith, so that a two-track guidance takes place within each guide device 24, 25, so to speak.

Die ineinandergreifenden Führungsglieder und Führungselemente weisen leistenartige Längsgestalt auf, wobei sie beim Ausführungsbeispiel einen U-förmigen Querschnitt besitzen. Dabei sind bei jedem Führungsglied/Führungselement-Paar die Querstege des Führungsgliedes und des Führungselementes voneinander abgewandt, so daß die beiden Teile mit ihren Schenkeln ineinander bzw. übereinander greifen. Die einander benachbarten Schenkel des jeweiligen Führungsgliedes und des zugehörigen Führungselementes sind über in Fig. 2 gestrichelt angedeutete Kugellager 38;38a aneinander gelagert. Dabei sind die aneinander gelagerten Schenkel der Führungsglieder und Führungselemente in Richtung voneinander weg gewölbt, so daß sie die Kugellager etwas umgreifen und die jeweils zugehörige Trageinheit hängend gehalten wird.The interlocking guide members and guide elements have strip-like longitudinal shapes, and in the exemplary embodiment they have a U-shaped cross section. The transverse webs of the guide member and the guide element are facing away from each other in each guide member / guide element pair, so that the two parts engage with one another or with one another with their legs. The mutually adjacent legs of the respective guide member and the associated guide element are supported on one another by ball bearings 38; 38a indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2. The legs of the guide members and guide elements which are mounted on one another are arched in the direction away from one another, so that they grip around the ball bearings somewhat and the associated supporting unit is held hanging.

Die Halteeinheit 27; 27a enthält einen an der Drehsäule 17 sitzenden Grundkörper 39;39a, an dessen Unterseite die schienenartigen Führungsglieder 34,35;34a,35a befestigt sind. Hierzu dienen von oben her eingeschraubte Schrauben 40. Die Trageinheit 26;26a besitzt ebenfalls einen Grundkörper 41; 41a, an dessen Oberseite die schienenförmigen Führungselemente 36,37;36a,37a befestigt sind. Dies erfolgt beim Ausführungsbeispiel mit Hilfe von unten her eingeschraubten Schrauben 42.The holding unit 27; 27a contains a base body 39; 39a seated on the rotary column 17, on the underside of which the rail-like guide members 34, 35; 34a, 35a are fastened. Screws 40 screwed in from above are used for this purpose. The carrying unit 26; 26a likewise has a base body 41; 41a, on the top of which the rail-shaped guide elements 36, 37; 36a, 37a are fastened. In the exemplary embodiment, this is done with the help screws 42 screwed in from below.

Damit die Führungselemente 36,37;36a,37a der Trageinheit 26;26a beim Verschieben des Frontelementes 21 sich beiderseits der Drehsäule 17 und der Verbindungswelle 28 vorbei bewegen können, weist die Trageinheit 26;26a bzw. deren Grundkörper 41;41a zwischen den beiden Führungselementen eine von der Drehsäule 17 und der Verbindungswelle 28 durchgriffene Ausnehmung 43;43a auf, die in Verschieberichtung so lang ist, daß das Frontelement 21 zwischen der Schließstellung und der Drehbereitschaftsstellung hin und her bewegt werden kann.So that the guide elements 36, 37; 36a, 37a of the support unit 26; 26a can move past on both sides of the rotary column 17 and the connecting shaft 28 when the front element 21 is displaced, the support unit 26; 26a or its base body 41; 41a points between the two guide elements a recess 43; 43a which is penetrated by the rotary column 17 and the connecting shaft 28 and which is so long in the direction of displacement that the front element 21 can be moved back and forth between the closed position and the ready-to-turn position.

Der Grundkörper 39;39a der Halteeinheit 27;27a und/oder der Grundkörper 41;41a der Trageinheit 26;26a, beim zweckmäßigen Ausführungsbeispiel beide, werden von einem plattenartigen Metallblechteil gebildet. Wie bereits erwähnt, sind an der der jeweils anderen Einheit zugewandten Seite des betreffenden Metallblechteils die Führungsglieder bzw. die Führungselemente angeordnet. Bei den Metallblechteilen 39;39a, 41,41a handelt es sich um Stanzteile, die in die entsprechende Gestalt, beim Ausführungsbeispiel sind sie im wesentlichen rechteckig, geschnitten sind und an den benötigten Stellen Abbiegungen, Auswölbungen od.dgl. aufweisen, worauf noch zurückgekommen werden wird.The base body 39; 39a of the holding unit 27; 27a and / or the base body 41; 41a of the support unit 26; 26a, both in the expedient exemplary embodiment, are formed by a plate-like sheet metal part. As already mentioned, the guide members or the guide elements are arranged on the side of the relevant sheet metal part facing the respective other unit. The sheet metal parts 39; 39a, 41, 41a are stamped parts that are cut into the appropriate shape, in the exemplary embodiment they are essentially rectangular, and they bend, bulge or the like at the required points. have what will be returned to.

Das plattenartige Metallblechteil 41;41a der Trageinheit 26;26a weist einen sich in Verschieberichtung erstreckenden Längsschlitz als von der Drehsäule 17 und der Verbindungswelle 28 durchgriffene Ausnehmung 43;43a auf.The plate-like sheet metal part 41; 41a of the support unit 26; 26a has a longitudinal slot which extends in the direction of displacement as from the rotary column 17 and the connecting shaft 28 penetrated recess 43; 43a.

Das plattenartige Metallblechteil 39;39a der Halteeinheit 27; 27a ist an den Stellen der Drehsäule 17 und der Verbindungswelle 28 gelocht, so daß es auf die Drehsäule 17 aufgesteckt und an dieser befestigt werden kann und sich die Verbindungswelle 28 drehbar lagern läßt.The plate-like sheet metal part 39; 39a of the holding unit 27; 27a is perforated at the locations of the rotary column 17 and the connecting shaft 28 so that it can be plugged onto the rotary column 17 and fastened to it and the connecting shaft 28 can be rotatably supported.

Die Verbindungswelle 28 trägt an ihren beiden Enden jeweils ein Drehlagerteil 44 bzw. 45 und unterhalb des Drehlagerteils den betreffenden Zahnkranz 29 bzw. 30. Dabei ist der Zahnkranzdurchmesser kleiner oder gleich dem Durchmesser des Drehlagerteils. Ferner ist in diesem Zusammenhang vorgesehen, daß bei beiden Führungseinrichtungen 24, 25 die Halteeinheit 27;27a ein im Durchmesser dem Drehlagerteil 44 bzw. 45 entsprechendes und dieses aufnehmende Drehlagerloch 46;46a aufweist, das beim Ausführungsbeispiel an dem den Grundkörper bildenden Metallblechteil 27; 27a ausgebildet ist und zur drehbaren Lagerung des jeweiligen Drehlagerteils und somit der Verbindungswelle 28 dient. An ihrem oberen Ende trägt die Verbindungswelle 28 oberhalb des Drehlagerteils 45 noch einen radial vorstehenden Anschlagvorsprung 47, der auf dem Halteteil 27a aufliegt. Der Anschlagvorsprung 47 kann von einem laufenden Ringbund gebildet werden.The connecting shaft 28 carries at each of its two ends a pivot bearing part 44 or 45 and below the pivot bearing part the relevant ring gear 29 or 30. The ring gear diameter is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the pivot bearing part. Furthermore, it is provided in this connection that in both guide devices 24, 25 the holding unit 27; 27a has a pivot bearing hole 46; 46a corresponding in diameter to the pivot bearing part 44 or 45 and receiving it, which in the exemplary embodiment on the sheet metal part 27; 27a and is used for the rotatable mounting of the respective rotary bearing part and thus the connecting shaft 28. At its upper end, the connecting shaft 28 still has a radially projecting stop projection 47 above the rotary bearing part 45, which rests on the holding part 27a. The stop projection 47 can be formed by a running collar.

Auf diese Weise ergibt sich eine sehr einfache Steckmontage der Verbindungswelle 28, die mit ihrem unteren Zahnkranz 29 voran von oben her durch die Drehlagerlöcher 46a und 46 eingesteckt wird und dabei auch die Ausnehmungen 43a und 43 durchsetzt.This results in a very simple plug-in assembly of the connecting shaft 28, which is inserted with its lower ring gear 29 from above through the pivot bearing holes 46a and 46 and also penetrates the recesses 43a and 43.

Im eingesteckten Zustand liegt der Anschlagvorsprung 47 auf dem Halteteil 27a, so daß für die Montage kein weiterer Handgriff als das Einstecken erforderlich ist.In the inserted state, the stop projection 47 lies on the holding part 27a, so that no further action than the insertion is required for the assembly.

Der untere Zahnkranz 29 und das untere Drehlagerteil 44 werden von einem einstückigen Kunststoffkörper mit - sieht man von der Verzahnung ab - zylindrischer Gestalt gebildet. Gleiches gilt für den oberen Zahnkranz 30 und das obere Drehlagerteil 45, wobei an diesen einstückigen Kunststoffkörper noch der Anschlagvorsprung 47 angeformt ist. Diese beiden Kunststoffkörper bilden zusammen mit einem sie verbindenden Wellenstab die Verbindungswelle 28.The lower ring gear 29 and the lower pivot bearing part 44 are formed by a one-piece plastic body with a cylindrical shape, apart from the toothing. The same applies to the upper ring gear 30 and the upper pivot bearing part 45, the stop projection 47 being integrally formed on this one-piece plastic body. Together with a shaft rod connecting them, these two plastic bodies form the connecting shaft 28.

Wie bereits erwähnt, sind die Drehlagerlöcher 46;46a an dem plattenförmigen Metallblechteil 41;41a der jeweiligen Halteeinheit 27,;27a ausgebildet.As already mentioned, the pivot bearing holes 46; 46a are formed on the plate-shaped sheet metal part 41; 41a of the respective holding unit 27,; 27a.

Insbesondere aus Fig. 2 ist ferner ersichtlich, daß die mit dem Zahnkranz 29 bzw. 30 kämmende Zahnleiste 31 bzw. 31a an der der Halteeinheit 27 bzw. 27a abgewandten Seite der Trageinheit 26 bzw. 26a angeordnet ist, beim zweckmäßigen Ausführungsbeispiel also an der Unterseite des plattenartigen Metallblechteils 41 bzw. 41a. Dabei erstreckt sich die Zahnreihe der jeweiligen Zahnleiste einem der Ränder des die Ausnehmung 43, 43a bildenden Längsschlitzes entlang. Dabei ist die Zahnleiste 31;31a in Verschieberichtung verstellbar angeordnet, so daß die beiden Zahnleisten in ihrer Längslage genau an die Drehlage des jeweiligen Zahnkranzes 29 bzw. 29a angepaßt werden kann.From FIG. 2 in particular it can also be seen that the toothed rack 31 or 31a which meshes with the ring gear 29 or 30 is arranged on the side of the support unit 26 or 26a which faces away from the holding unit 27 or 27a, that is to say on the underside in the expedient exemplary embodiment of the plate-like sheet metal part 41 or 41a. The row of teeth of the respective rack extends along one of the edges of the longitudinal slot forming the recess 43, 43a. The toothed rack 31, 31a is arranged to be adjustable in the direction of displacement, so that the two toothed strips in their longitudinal position can be adapted exactly to the rotational position of the respective ring gear 29 or 29a.

Die beiden Zahnkränze 29;29a können ja mit einem zwischen ihnen vorhandenen Winkelunterschied auf der Verbindungswelle 28 montiert sein. Dieser Winkelunterschied läßt sich durch die Zahnleistenverstellung ausgleichen. Ferner läßt sich durch Verstellen der einen oder anderen Zahnleiste die vertikale Ausrichtung des Frontelements 21 verändern.The two ring gears 29; 29a can be mounted on the connecting shaft 28 with an angular difference between them. This difference in angle can be compensated for by adjusting the rack. Furthermore, the vertical orientation of the front element 21 can be changed by adjusting one or the other rack.

Die Verstellung der Zahnleisten kann, wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, mittels eines Exzenters erfolgen. Die in Fig. 3 eingezeichnete Zahnleiste 31 sitzt an einem Zahnleistenkörper 48, der über Befestigungsschrauben mit dem Grundkörper 41;41a der jeweiligen Trageinheit 26;26a verschraubt ist. Dabei durchgreifen die Befestigungsschrauben 49 jeweils ein in Verschieberichtung verlaufendes Langloch im Grundkörper 41;41a. Ferner ist an dem Zahnleistenkörper 48 ein Verstellbolzen 50 verdrehbar gelagert, der einen Exzenter 51 trägt, der sich mit seinem Umfang in einer zugehörigen Ausnehmung des Grundkörpers 41;41a der Trageinheit abstützt. Bei gelockerten Befestigungsschrauben 49 läßt sich durch Verdrehen des Verstellbolzens 50 somit die Lage der jeweiligen Zahnleiste verstellen.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the toothed racks can be adjusted by means of an eccentric. The toothed rack 31 shown in FIG. 3 is seated on a toothed rack body 48 which is screwed to the base body 41; 41a of the respective support unit 26; 26a via fastening screws. The fastening screws 49 each pass through an elongated hole in the base body 41; 41a which extends in the direction of displacement. Furthermore, an adjusting bolt 50 is rotatably mounted on the toothed rack body 48 and carries an eccentric 51 which is supported with its circumference in an associated recess of the base body 41; 41a of the support unit. When the fastening screws 49 are loosened, the position of the respective toothed rack can thus be adjusted by turning the adjusting bolt 50.

Bei beiden Führungseinrichtungen 24, 25 ist die Trageinheit 26; 26a bzw. deren Grundkörper 41;41a an ihrer Vorderseite so geformt, daß hier eine dem Frontelement 21 entsprechende Kontur 52, beim Ausführungsbeispiel also eine einen rechten Winkel bildende Kontur, vorhanden ist. Das Frontelement 21 ist dabei so an den Trageinheiten 26;26a befestigt, daß es in den die Kontur 52 ergebenden Ausschnitt eingreift.In both guide devices 24, 25, the support unit 26; 26a or its base body 41; 41a is shaped on its front side in such a way that here there is a contour 52 corresponding to the front element 21, ie a contour forming a right angle in the exemplary embodiment. The front element 21 is fastened to the support units 26; 26a in such a way that it engages in the cutout resulting in the contour 52.

Beim überführen des Frontelements 21 aus der Schließstellung in die Drehbereitschaftsstellung bewegt sich das Frontelement 21 auf die Halteeinheiten 27;27a zu. Auch hier ist nun vorgesehen, daß bei beiden Führungseinrichtungen 24,25 die Halteeinheit 27; 27a an ihrer dem Frontelement 21 zugewandten Vorderseite eine dem Frontelement entsprechende Kontur 53 aufweist, wobei die so gestaltete Vorderseite der Halteeinheit 27;27a bzw. von deren Grundkörper 39;39a einen Anschlag für das Frontelement 21 in der Drehbereitschaftsstellung bildet. Dies geht anschaulich aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 3 und 4 hervor.When the front element 21 is transferred from the closed position into the ready-to-turn position, the front element 21 moves towards the holding units 27; 27a. Here, too, it is now provided that the holding unit 27; 27a has on its front side facing the front element 21 a contour 53 corresponding to the front element, the front side of the holding unit 27; 27a or its base body 39; 39a thus configured forming a stop for the front element 21 in the ready-to-rotate position. This can be seen clearly from a comparison of FIGS. 3 and 4.

Eine besonders zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung des Beschlags ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß bei beiden Führungseinrichtungen 24,25 die Trageinheit 26;26a nach hinten unten geneigt verschiebbar an der Halteeinheit 27;27a geführt ist, so daß das Frontelement 21 bei seinem Bewegen in die Drehbereitschaftsstellung abgesenkt wird. Auf diese Weise kann das Frontelement 21 so hoch sein, daß es in der Schließstellung im Schrankinneren oben vorhandene Teile wie insbesondere das Haltekreuz 11 überragt. Beim Einschieben des Frontelementes in die Drehbereitschaftsstellung taucht das Frontelement 21 dann unter diese Teile.A particularly expedient embodiment of the fitting is characterized in that in both guide devices 24, 25 the support unit 26; 26a is guided on the holding unit 27; 27a so that it can be slid backwards and downwards, so that the front element 21 is lowered when it is moved into the ready-to-turn position. In this way, the front element 21 can be so high that, in the closed position in the interior of the cabinet, it projects above parts, in particular the retaining cross 11. When the front element is pushed into the ready-to-turn position, the front element 21 then dips under these parts.

Um den für die geneigte Führung erforderliche Neigung der Führungsglieder 34,35; 34a,35a bei im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufendem Grundkörper 39;39a der Halteeinheit 27;27a zu erhalten, weist der plattenartige Grundkörper 39;39a an den Befestigungsstellen der Führungsglieder (Schrauben 40) entsprechende Abbiegungen, Auswölbungen od.dgl. nach unten gerichtete Halterungspartien auf, wobei jedem Führungsglied eine vordere Halterungspartie 54 und eine hintere Halterungspartie 55 zugeordnet ist, wobei letztere weiter nach unten hin vorsteht.In order for the inclination of the guide members 34, 35; 34a, 35a with a substantially horizontally running base body 39; 39a of the holding unit 27; 27a, the plate-like base body 39; 39a has corresponding bends, bulges or the like at the fastening points of the guide members (screws 40). downward bracket portions with each guide member having a front bracket portion 54 and a rear bracket portion 55 is associated, the latter protruding further downward.

Im Falle der die entsprechend geneigten Führungselemente 36,37; 36a,37a tragenden Trageinheit 26;26a ist beim Ausführungsbeispiel das den Grundkörper 41;41a bildende Metallblechteil teilweise horizontal und teilweise schräg zur Horizontalen, so daß wiederum einerseits die schrägen Führungselemente und andererseits die jeweilige Zahnleiste 31;31a mit horizontaler Ausrichtung angebracht werden kann. Dabei ist die Zahnleiste an einer in den Fig. 2 und 3 mit der Bezugsziffer 56 bezeichneten, horizontal ausgerichteten Partie 56 des Metallblechteils befestigt.In the case of the correspondingly inclined guide elements 36, 37; 36a, 37a carrying support unit 26; 26a in the exemplary embodiment is the sheet metal part forming the base body 41; 41a, partly horizontally and partly obliquely to the horizontal, so that, on the one hand, the oblique guide elements and, on the other hand, the respective toothed strip 31; 31a can be attached with a horizontal orientation. The toothed strip is fastened to a horizontally oriented portion 56 of the sheet metal part which is designated by the reference number 56 in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Die von dem Frontelement 21 und den beiden Trageinheiten 26,26a gebildete verschiebbare Einheit ist in Richtung auf die Schließstellung zu durch eine Federkraft belastet, so daß das Frontelement 21 , trifft es nach einer Drehung im Schrankgehäuse wieder in die der Schließstellung benachbarte Drehbereitschaftsstellung ein, selbsttätig in die Schließstellung überführt wird. Hierzu ist beim zweckmäßigen Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, daß an der Verbindungswelle 28 eine sie im Sinne eines Bewegens des Frontelementes 21 in die Schließstellung belastetende Torsionsfeder 57 angreift. Die dargestellte Torsionsfeder 57 stützt sich einenends an der Drehsäule 17 und andererseits an dem den Zahnkranz 29,30 bildenden Kunststoffkörper ab, indem sie in dessen Stirnseite eingesteckt ist. Die Torsionsfeder 57 ist auf den Wellenstab der Verbindungswelle 28 aufgesteckt. Somit ist die Verbindungswelle 28 auf Drehung belastet, so daß sie über die Zahnleisten 31,31a die Trageinheiten 26,26a nach vorne drückt.The displaceable unit formed by the front element 21 and the two support units 26, 26a is loaded in the direction of the closed position by a spring force, so that the front element 21, after a rotation in the cabinet housing, returns to the position ready for rotation adjacent to the closed position, automatically is transferred to the closed position. For this purpose, in the expedient exemplary embodiment it is provided that a torsion spring 57 acts on the connecting shaft 28 in the sense of moving the front element 21 into the closed position. The torsion spring 57 shown is supported at one end on the rotary column 17 and on the other hand on the plastic body forming the ring gear 29, 30 by being inserted into the end face thereof. The torsion spring 57 is attached to the shaft rod of the connecting shaft 28. Thus, the connecting shaft 28 is loaded for rotation so that it presses the support units 26, 26a forward via the toothed strips 31, 31a.

Diese Federbelastung dient in Zusammenhang mit einer weiteren Einrichtung ferner auch dazu, daß das Frontelement 21 beim Drehen des Karussells im Schrankgehäuse eine definierte Radialstellung einnimmt. Diese weitere Einrichtung umfaßt eine am Schrankboden 8 konzentrisch zur Drehsäule 17 festgelegte kreisrunde Scheibe 58, die an ihrer dem Frontelement 21 mit Bezug auf die Drehsäule 17 entgegengesetzten Rückseite einen in Verschieberichtung des Frontelements 21 verlaufenden, am Scheibenumfang offenen Radialschlitz 59 aufweist. Dem Radialschlitz 59 ist ein von der Trageinheit 26 der unteren Führungseinrichtung 24 nach unten hin abstehender Führungsfinger 60 zugeordnet, der in der Schließstellung des Frontelements 21 in den Radialschlitz 59 eingreift und beim Verschieben des Frontelements 21 in die Drehbereitschaftsstellung hinten aus dem Radialschlitz 59 austritt, so daß er beim nachfolgenden Verdrehen des Karussells 16 am Umfang der Scheibe 58 anliegt. Dieses Anliegen erfolgt aufgrund der Torsionsfeder 57 federbelastet. Gelang der Führungsfinger 60 wieder zur Mündung des Radialschlitzes 59, tritt er in diesen ein und das Frontelement 21 verschließt die Schranköffnung 6. Der Führungsfinger 60 trägt eine Rolle 61, so daß am Scheibenumfang praktisch keine Scheibenreibung auftritt.In conjunction with another device, this spring load also serves to ensure that the front element 21 assumes a defined radial position when the carousel is rotated in the cabinet housing. This further device comprises a circular disk 58, which is fixed on the cabinet base 8 concentrically to the rotating column 17 and, on its rear side opposite the front element 21 with respect to the rotating column 17, has a radial slot 59 which extends in the direction of displacement of the front element 21 and is open on the disk circumference. The radial slot 59 is assigned a guide finger 60 which projects downward from the support unit 26 of the lower guide device 24 and which engages in the radial slot 59 in the closed position of the front element 21 and emerges from the radial slot 59 at the rear when the front element 21 is moved into the ready position for rotation that it rests on the circumference of the disk 58 during the subsequent rotation of the carousel 16. This concern is spring-loaded due to the torsion spring 57. If the guide finger 60 reaches the mouth of the radial slot 59 again, it enters it and the front element 21 closes the cabinet opening 6. The guide finger 60 carries a roller 61 so that practically no disk friction occurs on the disk circumference.

Der Führungsfinger 60 sitzt an einer mit der Trageinheit 26 verschraubten Trägerplatte 62.The guide finger 60 is seated on a support plate 62 screwed to the support unit 26.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist an der unteren Trageinheit 26 ferner ein wie der Führungsfinger 60 nach unten hin vorstehendes Anschlagelement 63 angeordnet, das in gleicher radialer Richtung wie der Führungsfinger 60 und mit größerem Abstand zur Drehsäule 17 wie der Führungsfinger angeordnet ist und beim Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls von der Trägerplatte 62 getragen wird. Das Anschlagelement 63 gelangt beim Bewegen des Frontelements 21 in die Schließstellung im Bereich der Mündung des Radialschlitzes 59 an der Scheibe 58 von hinten her zur Anlage, so daß das Anschlagelement 63 die Schließstellung des Frontelements 21 bestimmt. Das Anschlagelement 63 weist zweckmäßigerweise, wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, eine keilartige Gestalt auf, so daß es etwas in den Radialschlitz 59 eindringt, bis es an der Mündung festsitzt. Die Trageinheit 26 und dieser das Frontelement 21 kann sich dann nicht weiter nach vorne bewegen. Dabei ist das Anschlagelement 63 in radialer Richtung verstellbar an der Trageinheit 26 angeordnet (Befestigungsschraube 64 und Langloch 65 der Trägerplatte 62), so daß sich die Position des unteren Endes des Frontelements 21 in der Schließstellung variieren läßt.In this connection, a stop element 63, which projects downward like the guide finger 60 and is arranged in the same radial direction as the guide finger 60 and at a greater distance from the lower support unit 26 Rotary column 17 as the guide finger is arranged and is also carried by the carrier plate 62 in the embodiment. When the front element 21 is moved into the closed position in the region of the mouth of the radial slot 59 on the disk 58, the stop element 63 comes into contact from behind so that the stop element 63 determines the closed position of the front element 21. The stop element 63 expediently has a wedge-like shape, as can be seen in FIG. 3, so that it penetrates somewhat into the radial slot 59 until it is stuck at the mouth. The support unit 26 and the front element 21 can then no longer move forward. The stop element 63 is arranged on the support unit 26 so as to be adjustable in the radial direction (fastening screw 64 and slot 65 of the support plate 62), so that the position of the lower end of the front element 21 can be varied in the closed position.

Damit die Bewegung des Frontelements 21 aus der Drehbereitschaftsstellung in die Schließstellung aufgrund der Federkraft (Torsionsfeder 57) nicht zu schnell bzw. das Eintreffen in die Schließstellung sozusagen nicht zu hart erfolgt, ist bei mindestens einer Führungseinrichtung, beim Ausführungsbeispiel bei der oberen Führungseinrichtung 25, zwischen der Trageinheit 26a und der Halteeinheit 27a ein einsinniges, mit seiner Bremskraft der Bewegung des Frontelements 21 in die Schließstellung entgegengerichtetes Bewegungsbremsglied 66 (siehe Fig. 5) in Gestalt eines Dämpfungszylinders mit am einen Zylinderende herausstehender Kolbenstange 67 angeordnet. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Kolbenstange mit der Halteeinheit 27a und das Zylinderteil des Dämpfungszylinders mit der Trageinheit 26a verbunden. Solche Dämpfungszylinder sind an sich bekannt.So that the movement of the front element 21 from the ready-to-turn position into the closed position is not too rapid due to the spring force (torsion spring 57) or the arrival in the closed position is not too hard, so to speak, at least one guide device, in the exemplary embodiment in the upper guide device 25, between arranged in the form of a damping cylinder with a piston rod 67 protruding from one end of the cylinder, the support unit 26a and the holding unit 27a are arranged in a unidirectional manner, with their braking force opposing the movement of the front element 21 into the closed position (see FIG. 5). In the embodiment, the piston rod with the Holding unit 27a and the cylinder part of the damping cylinder connected to the support unit 26a. Such damping cylinders are known per se.

Das Frontelement 21 wird in geeigneter Weise an den Trageinheiten 26;26a befestigt, Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist hierzu vorgesehen, daß die Trageinheiten 26,;26a an ihrer Vorderseite Einhängeausnehmungen 68 zum vertikalen Einhängen von am Frontelement 21 angeordneten Steckbolzen 69 aufweisen. Das Frontelement 21 wird also einfach von oben her mit seinen Steckbolzen 69 in die Einhängeausnehmungen 68 der Trageinheiten 26;26a eingesteckt. Dabei ist ferner vorgesehen, daß das Frontelement 21 im Bereich der Steckbolzen 69 einen vertikal hin und her schraubbaren Gewindebolzen 70 aufweisen, über den sich das Frontelement 21 auf der jeweiligen Trageinheit 26;26a abstützt. Somit läßt sich mit Hilfe der Gewindebolzen 70 das Frontelement 21 in der Höhe verstellen.The front element 21 is fastened in a suitable manner to the support units 26; 26a. In the exemplary embodiment, it is provided for this that the support units 26,; 26a have, on their front side, recesses 68 for vertical insertion of plug bolts 69 arranged on the front element 21. The front element 21 is therefore simply inserted from above with its plug-in bolts 69 into the suspension recesses 68 of the support units 26; 26a. It is further provided that the front element 21 in the region of the plug-in bolts 69 has a vertically screwable threaded bolt 70, by means of which the front element 21 is supported on the respective support unit 26; 26a. Thus, the height of the front element 21 can be adjusted using the threaded bolts 70.

Wie bereits erwähnt, übergreift das Frontelement 21 in der Schließstellung die vorderen Stirnseiten 4,5 der Seitenwände 2,3. Damit nun das Frontelement 21 aus der Schließstellung nach innen und von innen her in die Schließstellung bewegt werden kann, sind die vorderen Stirnseiten 4,5 der Schrankseitenwände 2,3 so abgeschrägt, daß sie im Horizontalschnitt parallel zur Verschieberichtung verlaufen. An diesen abgeschrägten Stirnseiten 4,5 kann sich das Frontelement 21 vorbei bewegen, wie am anschaulichsten aus Fig. 7 hervorgeht, in der die Schließstellung mit ausgezogenen Linien und die Drehbereitschaftsstellung strichpunktiert eingezeichnet ist.As already mentioned, the front element 21 engages over the front end faces 4, 5 of the side walls 2, 3 in the closed position. So that the front element 21 can now be moved from the closed position inwards and from the inside into the closed position, the front faces 4, 5 of the cabinet side walls 2, 3 are chamfered so that they run parallel to the direction of displacement in a horizontal section. The front element 21 can move past these bevelled end faces 4, 5, as can be seen most clearly from FIG. 7, in which the closed position is drawn with solid lines and the ready-to-turn position is shown in dash-dot lines.

Aus Fig.7 geht des weiteren hervor, daß im Bereich jedes vertikalen Längsrandbereiches der Rückseite des Frontelementes 21 ein Zentrierstück 71 bzw. 72 angeordnet sein kann, das das Frontelement 21 beim Eintreffen in die Schließstellung in der Schranköffnung 6 zentriert und dabei mit der Stirnseite 4 bzw. 5 der zugewandten Schrank-Seitenwand zusammenwirkt. Die Zentrierstücke weisen also außen eine Anlauffläche auf, mit der sie gegen die Seitenwand-Stirnseiten 4,5 laufen. Diese Zentrierstücke 71,72 können rechtwinkelig zum jeweiligen Längsrandbereich des Frontelements 21, in Fig. 7 also in der Zeichenebene, verstellt werden.7 also shows that a centering piece 71 or 72 can be arranged in the region of each vertical longitudinal edge region of the rear of the front element 21, which centers the front element 21 when it arrives in the closed position in the cabinet opening 6 and thereby with the end face 4 or 5 of the facing cabinet side wall interacts. The centering pieces thus have a contact surface on the outside with which they run against the side wall end faces 4, 5. These centering pieces 71, 72 can be adjusted at right angles to the respective longitudinal edge region of the front element 21, that is to say in the plane of the drawing in FIG. 7.
