- the guide rail 3 is fastened to a furniture body 4 in a manner known per se.
- an adjusting device provided overall with the reference number 5, is fastened, which in the exemplary embodiment shown serves for the vertical alignment of the drawer 2.
- this adjusting device 5 consists of a base body 6, an actuating part 7 and a wedge piece 8.
- the base body 6 is fastened to the running rail 1 in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the actuating part 7 can be moved in a hinge-like manner relative to this base body 6.
- Base body 6, actuating part 7 and wedge piece 8 are made in one piece from plastic.
- the hinge area 9 is formed by a material constriction in the manner of a film hinge.
- the hinge axis runs parallel to the mounting plane of the base body 6 and the wedge piece 8 extends approximately at right angles to the hinge axis and thus also to the actuating part 7.
- the wedge piece 8 is more or less inserted for alignment purposes between the running rail on the one hand and the drawer 2 on the other hand, so that the drawer 2 is more or less raised relative to the running rail 1. This enables an exact height alignment of a drawer, a pull-out or the like. It is extremely expedient to provide an adjusting device 5 in the region of both side rails 1 of a drawer, a pull-out or the like.
- the wedge piece 8 is provided on its free end flank 11 with locking projections 12, to which a locking cam 13 of the base body 6 is assigned.

- the actuating part 7 If, in the course of an adjustment, the actuating part 7 is pressed further in the direction of arrow A, for example into a central latching position corresponding to FIG. 9, the groove 20 of the actuating part 7 slides along the inclined web 18 in the sense of a positive guidance.
- the positive guidance through web 18 and groove 20 ensures in any case that even with permanent deformations of the hinge area 9, the actuating part 7 can be returned to the transport position / zero position according to FIG. 8 by overcoming the deformation by the positive guidance (18, 20) .
- the positive guidance between base body 6 and actuating part 7 can also be effected by means other than web 18 and groove 20, for. B. by a molded on the base body 6, according to the surface of the wedge piece 8 inclined pin, which engages in an opening of the actuating part 7.
- the described limitation of the opening path could be achieved here by a thickening at the free end of the pin, which after penetrating the guide opening in the actuating part 7 has a certain locking effect - for example according to the push button principle - in the sense of a path limitation generated.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Verstelleinrichtung zur Ausrichtung eines auf Laufschienen gelagerten Schubkastens, Auszuges oder dergleichen, bestehend aus einem an der Laufschiene oder dem Schubkasten, dem Auszug oder dergleichen befestigbaren Grundkörper und einem gegenüber dem Grundkörper scharnierartig beweglichen Betätigungsteil mit einem Keilstück, welches zu Ausrichtzwecken zwischen die Laufschiene einerseits und den Schubkasten, den Auszug oder dergleichen andererseits schiebbar ist.The present invention relates to an adjusting device for aligning a drawer, pull-out or the like mounted on running rails, consisting of a base body which can be fastened to the running rail or the drawer, the pull-out or the like and a hinge-like actuating part with a wedge piece which for alignment purposes between the slide rail on the one hand and the drawer, the pull-out or the like on the other hand can be pushed.
Verstelleinrichtungen der vorerwähnten Art sind in vielerlei Ausführungsformen bekannt.Adjustment devices of the aforementioned type are known in many embodiments.
Allerdings sind die vorbekannten Verstelleinrichtungen entweder recht aufwendig in ihrer Konstruktion oder relativ umständlich hinsichtlich ihrer Bedienung. Unter Umständen kommen sogar die beiden vorgenannten Nachteile zusammen.However, the known adjustment devices are either quite complex in their construction or relatively cumbersome to operate. The two aforementioned disadvantages may even come together.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verstelleinrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, die sich einerseits durch einen äußerst einfachen und unkomplizierten Aufbau und andererseits durch eine ebenso einfache Bedienbarkeit auszeichnet.The present invention has for its object to provide an adjusting device of the generic type, which is characterized on the one hand by an extremely simple and uncomplicated structure and on the other hand by an equally simple operability.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß Grundkörper, Betätigungsteil und Keilstück einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt sind, daß der Scharnierbereich durch eine Materialeinschnürung nach Art eines Filmscharnieres ausgebildet ist, daß die Scharnierachse parallel zur Befestigungsebene des Grundkörpers verläuft und daß sich das Keilstück etwa rechtwinklig zur Scharnierachse und somit auch zum Betätigungsteil erstreckt.This object is achieved in that the base body, actuating part and wedge piece are made in one piece from plastic, that the hinge area is formed by a material constriction in the manner of a film hinge, that the hinge axis runs parallel to the fastening plane of the base body and that the wedge piece is approximately at right angles to the hinge axis and thus also extends to the actuating part.
Eine derart gestaltete Verstelleinrichtung besteht letztendlich aus einem einfach herstellbaren, einstückigen Funktionsteil, welches nach dem Festlegen an einer Laufschiene oder einem Schubkasten, Auszug oder dergleichen einfach bedienbar ist, da zu Ausrichtzwecken lediglich durch Druck auf das Betätigungsteil das Keilstück zwischen Laufschiene einerseits und Schubkasten, Auszug oder dergleichen andererseits gedrückt werden muß. Entsprechend der Einschiebtiefe des Keilstückes wird dabei eine Ausrichtung des Schubkastens, des Auszuges oder dergleichen relativ zur Laufschiene erreicht.An adjustment device designed in this way ultimately consists of an easy-to-produce, one-piece functional part which, after being fixed to a running rail or a drawer, pull-out or the like, is easy to operate, since for alignment purposes the wedge piece between the running rail on the one hand and the drawer, pull-out only by pressure on the actuating part or the like must be pressed on the other hand. Depending on the insertion depth of the wedge piece, an alignment of the drawer, the pull-out or the like is achieved relative to the running rail.
Es kann vorteilhaft sein, die erreichte Einstellposition zusätzlich dadurch zu sichern, daß das Keilstück mindestens auf einer Seite mit Erhöhungen, Vertiefungen oder Aufrauhungen versehen ist.It may be advantageous to additionally secure the reached setting position by providing the wedge piece with ridges, depressions or roughening on at least one side.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß Grundkörper, Betätigungsteil und Keilstück einstückig an eine an sich bekannte Rasteinrichtung zur Verbindung einer Laufschiene mit einem Schubkasten, einem Auszug oder dergleichen angeformt sind.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention consists in that the base body, the actuating part and the wedge piece are integrally formed on a latching device known per se for connecting a running rail to a drawer, a pull-out or the like.
Hierdurch wird insgesamt eine Einstückigkeit von Rasteinrichtung und Verstelleinrichtung erzielt, was sowohl die Fertigungs- wie auch die Montagezeiten erheblich verringert.As a result, a one-piece arrangement of the latching device and the adjusting device is achieved, which considerably reduces both the manufacturing and assembly times.
Nach einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß in einem Abstand zum Betätigungsteil ein Schutzbügel zur Vermeidung unbeabsichtigter Betätigung angeordnet ist, wobei dieser Bügel einstückig an die Rasteinrichtung angeformt ist.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a protective bracket to avoid unintentional actuation is arranged at a distance from the actuating part, this bracket being integrally formed on the latching device.
Fehlbetätigungen und damit ungewollte Aufhebungen einer durchgeführten Ausrichtung werden hierdurch praktisch verhindert.Incorrect operations and thus unwanted cancellation of an alignment that has been carried out are practically prevented in this way.
Um beim Transport Beschädigungen und Verformungen der Verstelleinrichtung zu vermeiden, ebenso bleibende Verformungen nach einer Maximaljustierung über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg, so daß eine Rückführung in die Nullstellung/Ausgangsstellung auch nach einem längeren Zeitraum ohne weiteres möglich ist, wird eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, bei der an den aneinander zugewandten Flächen von Betätigungsteil und Grundkörper Führungsmittel vorgesehen sind, die miteinander korrespondieren, wenn das Betätigungsteil - im Zuge einer Justierung - auf den Grundkörper zu- oder von diesem wegbewegt wird.In order to avoid damage and deformation of the adjusting device during transport, as well as permanent deformation after a maximum adjustment over a longer period of time, so that a return to the zero position / initial position is also possible after a longer period of time, an embodiment of the invention is proposed in the guide means are provided on the mutually facing surfaces of the actuating part and the base body, which correspond to one another when the actuating part is moved toward or away from the base body in the course of an adjustment.
In vorteilhafter Weise können die miteinander korrespondierenden Führungsmittel aus einem am Grundkörper angeformten Steg einerseits und einer am Betätigungsteil angebrachten Führungsöffnung andererseits bestehen.The mutually corresponding guide means can advantageously consist of a web formed on the base body on the one hand and a guide opening on the actuating part on the other hand.
Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche 8 bis 13.Further features of the invention are the subject of

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 eine Laufschiene bezeichnet, die einen Schubkasten 2, einen Auszug oder dergleichen trägt. Diese Laufschiene 1 ist längs einer ortsfesten Führungsschiene 3 gemeinsam mit dem Schubkasten 2 oder einem Auszug oder dergleichen beweglich.In Figures 1 and 2, the
Die Führungsschiene 3 ist in an sich bekannter Weise an einem Möbelkorpus 4 befestigt.The
An der Laufschiene 1 ist eine insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 5 versehene Verstelleinrichtung befestigt, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zur vertikalen Ausrichtung des Schubkastens 2 dient.On the running
Wie insbesondere Figur 2 deutlich macht, besteht diese Verstelleinrichtung 5 aus einem Grundkörper 6, einem Betätigungsteil 7 sowie einem Keilstück 8.As is particularly clear in FIG. 2, this adjusting
Der Grundkörper 6 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel an der Laufschiene 1 befestigt. Das Betätigungsteil 7 ist gegenüber diesem Grundkörper 6 scharnierartig beweglich.The
Grundkörper 6, Betätigungsteil 7 und Keilstück 8 sind einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt.
Der Scharnierbereich 9 ist durch eine Materialeinschnürung nach Art eines Filmscharnieres ausgebildet.The
Die Scharnierachse verläuft parallel zur Befestigungsebene des Grundkörpers 6 und das Keilstück 8 erstreckt sich etwa rechtwinklig zur Scharnierachse und somit auch zum Betätigungsteil 7.The hinge axis runs parallel to the mounting plane of the
Das Keilstück 8 wird zu Ausrichtzwecken mehr oder weniger weit zwischen Laufschiene einerseits und Schubkasten 2 andererseits eingeschoben, so daß der Schubkasten 2 mehr oder weniger gegenüber der Laufschiene 1 angehoben wird. Hierdurch ist eine exakte Höhenausrichtung eines Schubkastens, eines Auszuges oder dgl. möglich, wobei es äußerst zweckmäßig ist, im Bereich beider seitlicher Laufschienen 1 eines Schubkastens, eines Auszuges o. dgl., eine Verstelleinrichtung 5 vorzusehen.The
Die Figuren 3 und 4 machen deutlich, daß das Keilstück 8 zumindest auf einer Seite mit sägezahnartigen Erhöhungen 10 versehen ist, wodurch die jeweils eingenommene Verstellposition zusätzlich gesichert werden kann.Figures 3 and 4 make it clear that the
Außerdem ist das Keilstück 8 an seiner freien Stirnflanke 11 mit Rastvorsprüngen 12 versehen, denen ein Rastnocken 13 des Grundkörpers 6 zugeordnet ist. Durch die Rastvorsprünge 12 und den Rastnocken 13 ist eine zusätzliche Sicherung der jeweils eingenommenen Verstellposition des Keilstückes 8 gewährleistet.In addition, the
In Figur 5 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt, bei dem die Verstelleinrichtung 5 einstöckig mit einer Rasteinrichtung 14 zur Verbindung einer Laufschiene 1 mit einem Schubkasten 2, einem Auszug o. dgl. hergestellt ist. Ansonsten entspricht der Aufbau der Verstelleinrichtung 5 dem Aufbau der vorstehend beschriebenen Verstelleinrichtung 5 nach den Figuren 1 bis 4.FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which the
Um eine unbeabsichtigte Betätigung der Verstelleinrichtung 5 zu vermeiden, ist in einem Abstand zum Betätigungsteil 7 ein Schutzbügel 15 vorgesehen, der einstöckig an die Rasteinrichtung 14 im übrigen angeformt ist.In order to avoid inadvertent actuation of the adjusting

Zum Ausrichten des Schubkastens/Auszuges 2 wird durch Verschieben des Betätigungsteiles 7 das an diesem angeformte Keilstück 8 zwischen Laufschiene 1 und Schubkasten 2 gedrückt und hebt diesen an. Durch bekannte, nicht näher beschriebene Rastvorsprünge 10 wird das Keilstück 8 in der gewählten Justierposition fixiert.To align the drawer / pull-

Der Betätigungsteil 7 läßt sich durch den als Filmscharnier ausgebildeten Scharnierbereich 9 scherenartig in Richtung des Pfeiles A zusammenklappen (Fig. 11 und 8, 9, 10). Am Grundkörper 6 ist eine - bezogen auf den Scharnierdrehpunkt 9 - radienförmig verlaufende Wandung 17 angeformt, die ihrerseits einen zum Scharnierdrehpunkt 9 gerichteten Führungssteg 18 trägt. An seinem freien Ende trägt der Führungssteg 18 weiter eine zum Scharnierdrehpunkt 9 gerichtete Rastnase 19. Der Führungssteg 18 veräuft - wie Figur 13 erkennen läßt - geneigt, d. h. vorzugsweise etwa parallel zur Oberfläche des Keilstückes 8.The
Der Betätigungsteil 7 trägt an seinem freien Ende eine Nut 20 (Figur 13).The
Die Wirkungsweise der Verstelleinrichtung 5 ergibt sich folgendermaßen:The operation of the adjusting
Die einteilige aus Kunststoff gefertigte Verstelleinrichtung 5 verläßt das Spritzgießwerkzeug vorzugsweise in der Figur 11 gezeigten Form. Wird dann der Betätigungsteil 7 in Richtung des Pfeiles A zum Grundkörper 6 gedrückt, bewegt sich die Rastnase 19 auf die Nut 20 zu und rastet hinter der Kante 21 ein. Der Führungssteg 18 liegt nun in der Nut 20 und wird von dieser gehalten und geführt. Es ergibt sich die aus Figur 8 ersichtliche Transportposition. Wirken in dieser Position äußere Kräfte auf die Verstelleinrichtung 5 ein, kommt es nicht zu Verformungen/Beschädigungen, da der Formschluß zwischen Steg 18 und Nut 20 die Verstelleinrichtung 5 stabilisiert und die Wandung 17 zusätzlich eine Schutzbügelfunktion ausübt.The one-
Wird nun im Zuge einer Justierung der Betätigungsteil 7 weiter in Richtung des Pfeiles A gedrückt, etwa in eine mittlere Rastposition entsprechend Figur 9, gleitet die Nut 20 des Betätigungsteiles 7 auf dem geneigten Steg 18 im Sinne einer Zwangsführung entlang.If, in the course of an adjustment, the
Wird der Betätigungsteil 7 noch weiter in Richtung des Pfeiles A gedrückt, bis der Betätigungsteil 7 am Grundkörper 6 anliegt, ergibt sich die Maximalverstellposition entsprechend Figur 10 und 7. Diese Position kann - je nach Material - zu einer relativ starken bleibenden Verformung des Scharnierbereiches 9 führen, die - wäre die Zwangsführung durch Steg 18 und Nut 20 nicht vorhanden - verhindern könnte, daß die Ausgangsposition/Nullstellung entsprechend Figur 8 wieder erreicht wird.If the
Die Zwangsführung durch Steg 18 und Nut 20 stellt jedoch in jedem Fall sicher, daß auch bei bleibenden Verformungen des Scharnierbereiches 9 der Betätigungsteil 7 in die Transportposition/Nullstellung entsprechend Figur 8 rückführbar ist, indem die Verformung durch die Zwangsführung (18, 20) überwunden wird.However, the positive guidance through
Die Zwangsführung zwischen Grundkörper 6 und Betätigungsteil 7 kann auch durch andere Mittel als Steg 18 und Nut 20 bewirkt werden, z. B. durch einen am Grundkörper 6 angeformten, entsprechend der Oberfläche des Keilstückes 8 geneigten Stift, der in eine Öffnung des Betätigungsteiles 7 eingreift. Die beschriebene Begrenzung des Öffnungsweges (durch Rastnase 19 und Kante 21) könnte hier durch eine Verdickung am freien Ende des Stiftes erreicht werden, die nach dem Durchdringen der Führungsöffnung im Betätigungsteil 7 eine gewisse Rastwirkung - etwa nach dem Druckknopf-Prinzip - im Sinne einer Wegbegrenzung erzeugt.The positive guidance between
