Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein ausziehbares Bügelbrett mit einem auf ein Rückteil aufklappbaren Vorderteil, wobei das Rückteil über mindestens ein Parallelogrammlenkerpaar von einer unteren Ruhestellung in eine obere Arbeitsstellung schwenkbar an einem in einer Führung verschiebbar gelagerten Auszugsteil angeordnet ist. Ein solches Bügelbrett ist aus der Druckschrift EP-A-0 173 036 bereits bekannt.The invention relates to an extendable ironing board with a a back part hinged front part, the back part over at least one pair of parallelogram links from a lower rest position swiveling into an upper working position on one in one Guide slidably mounted extract part is arranged. Such an ironing board is already known from EP-A-0 173 036.

Bei bekannten Bügelbrettern dieser Art wird eine waagerechte Ausziehbewegung über zwei Parallelogrammlenkerpaare in eine das Rückteil anhebende Bewegung umgesetzt. Je größer dabei der Winkel zwischen den Parallelogrammlenkern und der Auszugsrichtung ist, desto besser und leichter kann diese waagerechte Ausziehbewegung in eine das Rück- und Vorderteil anhebende senkrechte Bewegungskomponente umgesetzt werden. Bei den bekannten Bügelbrettern sollte allerdings ein bestimmter Mindestwinkel nicht unterschritten werden, damit die Ausziehbewegung mit noch vertretbarem Kraftaufwand in eine anhebende Kraft umgesetzt werden kann. Aufgrund dieses nicht zu unterschreitenden Mindestwinkels läßt sich die Einbauhöhe des nicht-ausgezogenen Bügelbretts nicht beliebig reduzieren. In known ironing boards of this type there is a horizontal pull-out movement over two pairs of parallelogram links in one Back movement lifting implemented. The larger the angle between the parallelogram links and the direction of extension, the better and easier this horizontal pull-out movement can be into a vertical movement component lifting the back and front part be implemented. With the well-known ironing boards should however not fall below a certain minimum angle so that the pull-out movement with more reasonable Force can be converted into a lifting force. by virtue of this minimum angle, which should not be undercut, can be the installation height of the non-extended ironing board is not arbitrary to reduce.

Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Bügelbrett der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß die Einbauhöhe des Bügelbretts trotz der Verwendung von Parallelogrammlenkern weiter reduziert werden kann.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide an ironing board at the beginning mentioned type in such a way that the installation height of the Ironing boards continue despite the use of parallelogram links can be reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß am Auszugsteil oder am Rückteil eine Steuerkurve und am jeweils anderen Teil ein das Rückteil beim Ausziehen des Bügelbretts zumindest anfänglich durch Auflaufen auf die Steuerkurve anhebendes Auflaufelement vorgesehen sind.This object is achieved in that the pull-out part or a control curve on the back and on the other Part at least the back when pulling out the ironing board initially by rising onto the control curve rising element are provided.

Dieses erfindungsgemäße Bügelbrett hat damit den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß die Steuerkurve und das Auflaufelement das Hochschwenken des Rückteils zusammen mit dem Vorderteil unterstützen oder einleiten können. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Parallelogrammlenker unter Winkeln gegenüber der Auzugsrichtung anzuordnen, die kleiner als der bisherige Mindestwinkel sind, und damit die Einbauhöhe des Bügelbretts zu verringern. Insbesondere können die Parallelogrammlenker in ihrer unteren Ruhestellung auch parallel zur Auszugsrichtung oder sogar über diese noch weiter hinaus gerichtet sein. Durch Zusammenwirken von Steuerkurve und Auflaufelement können die Parallelogrammlenker beim Ausziehen zumindest soweit hochgeschwenkt werden, bis der Mindestwinkel erreicht und damit die bis dahin wirkenden ungünstigen Hebelverhältnisse überwunden sind.This ironing board according to the invention thus has the essential Advantage that the control cam and the ramp element swivel up support the back part together with the front part or can initiate. This makes it possible to use the parallelogram handlebar to be arranged at angles to the pull-out direction, which are smaller than the previous minimum angle, and thus to reduce the installation height of the ironing board. In particular can the parallelogram links also parallel in their lower rest position to the direction of extension or even further be directed. By the interaction of the control cam and the ramp element the parallelogram handlebars can at least pull out be swung up until the minimum angle is reached and thus the unfavorable leverage conditions that had worked until then are overcome.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform verläuft die Steuerkurve, in Auszugsrichtung gesehen, schräg zur Auszugsrichtung, wobei die Steuerkurve z.B. konkav gekrümmt sein kann, um den Verlauf der beim Ausziehen wirkenden Hebelverhältnisse zu optimieren. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the Control curve, seen in the pull-out direction, at an angle to the pull-out direction, the control curve e.g. can be concavely curved to to optimize the course of the lever ratios when pulling out.

Als vorteilhafte Weiterbildung dieser Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Steuerkurve durch eine Schrägfläche eines am Rückteil angeordneten Keilelements gebildet ist. Dieses Keilelement läuft beim Ausziehen des Bügelbretts auf ein Auflaufelement auf, wodurch es zusammen mit dem Rück- und Vorderteil angehoben wird.As an advantageous further development of this embodiment, that the control curve by an inclined surface on the back arranged wedge element is formed. This wedge element runs onto a casserole element when the ironing board is pulled out, which raises it along with the back and front sections.

Bei bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ist das Auflaufelement ein am Auszugsteil angeordnetes, in die Bewegungsbahn der Steuerkurve eingreifendes Bügelelement. Dieses Bügelelement bildet das Auflager, auf dem z.B. das am Rückteil angeordnete Keilelement sich abstützend auflaufen kann.In preferred embodiments of the invention, the casserole element one arranged on the pull-out part, in the movement path the control element engaging bracket element. This bracket element forms the support on which e.g. the one on the back Wedge element can be supported.

Damit das Rückteil während des Ausziehvorgangs selbsttätig in seine obere Arbeitsstellung hochgeschwenkt wird, ist es zumindest nach seinem Anheben durch das Auflaufelement durch ein Halteelement in Auszugsrichtung zurückgehalten.So that the back part automatically during the pull-out process his upper working position is swung up, at least it is after it has been raised by the casserole element by a holding element restrained in the pull-out direction.

Vorzugsweise ist das Halteelement eine einenends mit dem Auszugsteil und anderenends mit dem Rückteil in Verbindung stehende Haltestange. Dabei kann die Haltestange in Verbindungsrichtung elastisch bzw. federnd oder, was bevorzugt ist, starr ausgebildet sein , was z.B. beim Ein- und Ausbau der Haltestange von Vorteil sein kann.The holding element is preferably at one end with the pull-out part and other handrail connected to the back. The support rod can be elastic in the direction of connection or resilient or, which is preferred, rigid be what e.g. an advantage when installing and removing the handrail can be.

Wenn das Rückteil zumindest während des anfänglichen Ausziehens des Bügelbretts in Richtung auf seine obere Arbeitsstellung beaufschlagt, insbesondere federbeaufschlagt ist, ist die zum Ausziehen des Bügelbretts erforderliche Kraft entsprechend verringert.If the back is at least during the initial extension the ironing board in the direction of its upper working position, is particularly spring-loaded, is to pull out of the ironing board required force accordingly reduced.

Dazu kann in einer Weiterbildung z.B. eine Zugfeder an ihrem in Auszugsrichtung gesehen hinteren Ende am Rückteil und an ihrem vorderen Ende zumindest während des anfänglichen Ausziehens des Bügelbretts am Auszugsteil abgestützt sein. Beim Ausziehen unterstützt und erleichtert die zwischen Rückteil und Auszugsteil wirkende Zugfeder die Ausziehbewegung.In further training, e.g. a tension spring on her in Extending direction seen rear end on the back and on her front end at least during the initial extension of the Ironing boards to be supported on the pull-out part. Supported when undressing and facilitates the one acting between the back part and the pull-out part Tension spring the pull-out movement.

In besonders vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung dieser Weiterbildung ist das vordere Ende der Zugfeder an einem Ankerelement angeordnet, welches am Rückteil etwa in Auszugsrichtung verschiebbar gehalten und zumindest während des anfänglichen Ausziehens des Bügelbretts mit dem Auszugsteil verrastet ist.This development is in a particularly advantageous embodiment the front end of the tension spring is arranged on an anchor element, which is held displaceably on the back in the pull-out direction and at least during the initial pulling out of the ironing board is locked with the pull-out part.

Damit die Zugfeder nicht auch bei ausgezogenem Bügelbrett fortwährend wirkt, sind Führungen für das Ankerelement vorgesehen, durch die das Ankerelement beim Ausziehen des Bügelbretts aus der Verrastung mit dem Auszugsteil lösbar und bei entgegengesetzter Bewegung des Bügelbretts in die Verrastung mit dem Auszugsteil führbar ist. Z.B. kann das Ankerelement schwenkbar gelagert sein und über die Führungen entsprechend in die oder aus der Verrastung verschwenkt werden.So that the tension spring does not continue even when the ironing board is pulled out acts, guides are provided for the anchor element, through which the anchor element when pulling out the ironing board from the Detachable with the pull-out part and with opposite Movement of the ironing board into the catch with the pull-out part is feasible. For example, the anchor element can be pivoted and via the guides accordingly in or out of the latching be pivoted.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist am Rückteil ein beim Ausziehen des Bügelbretts ausfahrender Stützträger für das Vorderteil angelenkt, an dem das hintere Ende der Zugfeder abgestützt und in dem das Ankerelement geführt ist.In a further embodiment, when pulling out the Support bracket for the front part is articulated, on which the rear end of the tension spring is supported and in which the anchor element is guided.

Die Arbeitsfläche des in der Zeichnung mit 1 bezeichneten Bügelbretts besteht aus einem Rückteil 2 und einem Vorderteil 3, die durch ein Schwenkscharnier 4 miteinander verbunden sind, so daß das Vorderteil 3, wie die Fign. 1 bis 3 zeigen, auf das Rückteil 2 aufgeklappt werden kann. Das zusammengeklappte Bügelbrett kann aus seiner Einbaulage innerhalb einer Schublade (nicht gezeigt) in Pfeilrichtung 5 herausgezogen werden. Dazu dient ein aus Teleskopschienen 6, 7 und 8 bestehendes Auszugsteil 9. Am Rückteil 2 ist das vordere Ende einer Haltestange 10 befestigt, deren hinteres freies Ende hakenförmig ausgebildet ist.The working surface of the ironing board designated 1 in the drawing consists of a back part 2 and a front part 3, the are connected by a pivot hinge 4 so that the front part 3, like the FIGS. Point 1 to 3 on the back 2 can be opened. The folded ironing board can from its installation position within a drawer (not shown) be pulled out in the direction of arrow 5. This is done using a telescopic rail 6, 7 and 8 existing pull-out part 9. On the back part 2 the front end of a support rod 10 is attached, the rear free end is hook-shaped.

Durch Ziehen an der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 fahren die Teleskopschienen 6, 7 und 8 aus, bis das hintere Ende der Haltestange 10 an einem an der hinteren Teleskopschiene 6 befindlichen Zapfen 11 anschlägt (Fig. 1). Dann zieht die Haltestange 10 die gesamte an den Teleskopschienen 6, 7 und 8 gelagerte Anordnung nach hinten, wodurch sich zwei am Rückteil 2 schwenkbar angelenkte Parallelogrammlenkerpaare 12 und 13 in Richtung des Pfeils 14 aufrichten. Die Parallelogrammlenker 12, 13 sind jeweils über Schwenkgelenke 15, 16 an der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 und über Schwenkgelenke 17, 18 am Rückteil 2 befestigt. Über die in Fig. 2 gezeigte mittlere Stellung nimmt die Anordnung durch weiteres Ausziehen der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 dann die in Fig. 3 gezeigte obere Arbeitsstellung ein, in der das Rückteil 2 mit seinem hinteren Ende an der Vorderkante einer Arbeitsplatte (nicht dargestellt) anschlägt.By pulling the front telescopic rail 8, the telescopic rails move 6, 7, and 8 out until the rear end of the handrail 10 on a pin located on the rear telescopic rail 6 11 strikes (Fig. 1). Then the handrail 10 pulls the whole arrangement mounted on the telescopic rails 6, 7 and 8 to the rear, whereby two pairs of parallelogram links pivotably articulated on the rear part 2 Raise 12 and 13 in the direction of arrow 14. The parallelogram links 12, 13 are each via swivel joints 15, 16 on the front telescopic rail 8 and via swivel joints 17, 18 attached to the back part 2. About that shown in Fig. 2 the arrangement takes the middle position by pulling out further the front telescopic rail 8 then that shown in Fig. 3 upper working position in which the rear part 2 with its rear End at the front edge of a worktop (not shown) strikes.

Um das Verschwenken der Parallelogrammlenker 12, 13 einzuleiten bzw. zu unterstützen, ist an der Unterseite des Rückteils 2 ein nach unten ragendes Keilelement 19 mit einer entgegen der Auszugsrichtung 5 gerichteten, konkav gekrümmten Steuerkurve 20 vorgesehen. In Auszugsrichtung 5 hinter dem Keilelement 19 ist an der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 ein nach oben ragendes bügelförmiges Auflaufelement 21 vorgesehen, auf das das Keilelement 19 beim Ausziehen mit seiner Steuerkurve 20 aufläuft, wenn die Haltestange 10 am Zapfen 11 anschlägt. Durch Auflaufen des Keilelements 19 auf das Auflaufelement 21 wird die Anordnung in Schwenkrichtung 14 hochgeschwenkt und um etwa 60 bis 80 mm angehoben, wodurch nun die an den Parallelogrammlenkern 12, 13 wirkenden Hebelverhältnisse derart sind, daß die weitere Auszugsbewegung allein mit Hilfe der Parallelogrammlenker 12, 13 einfach und leicht weiter in eine Bewegung in Schwenkrichtung 14 umgesetzt werden kann.In order to initiate the pivoting of the parallelogram links 12, 13 or to support, is on the underside of the back part 2 downwardly projecting wedge element 19 with a direction opposite to the extension direction 5 directed, concave curved control curve 20 is provided. In the pull-out direction 5 behind the wedge element 19 is on the front telescopic rail 8 is an upstanding bow-shaped Overrun element 21 is provided, on which the wedge element 19 at Pulling out with its cam 20 accumulates when the handrail 10 strikes the pin 11. By running up the wedge element 19 on the ramp element 21, the arrangement in the pivoting direction 14 pivoted up and raised by about 60 to 80 mm, which now the lever ratios acting on the parallelogram links 12, 13 are such that the further extension movement alone with With the help of the parallelogram link 12, 13 simple and easy can be implemented in a movement in the pivoting direction 14.

Wie die Fign. 2 und 3 zeigen, ist am Rückteil 2 ein Stützträger 22 verschiebbar gelagert, dessen vorderes Ende als Stütze für das umgeklappte Vorderteil 3 dient. Beim Ausziehen des Bügelbretts 1 (Auszugsrichtung 5) wird ein an der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 bei 23 und an dem Stützträger 22 bei 24 angelenkter Schubarm 25 entgegen der Schwenkrichtung 14, d.h. entgegengesetzt zu den Parallelogrammlenkern 12, 13 geschwenkt und schiebt den Stützträger 22 in Auszugsrichtung 5 über das Rückteil 2 nach vorne vor. As the fig. 2 and 3 show, on the back part 2 is a support beam 22 slidably mounted, the front end as a support for the folded front part 3 is used. When pulling out the ironing board 1 (Extension direction 5) is on the front telescopic rail 8 at 23 and on the support bracket 22 at 24 articulated push arm 25 against the swivel direction 14, i.e. opposite to the parallelogram links 12, 13 pivoted and pushes the support beam 22 forward in the pull-out direction 5 via the back part 2.

In Fig. 3 ist das Bügelbrett 1 in seiner oberen Arbeitsstellung gezeigt, und es ist zu erkennen, daß das Keilelement 19 mit seiner Steuerkurve 20 lediglich anfänglich mit dem Auflaufelement 21 unterstützend zusammengewirkt hat.In Fig. 3 the ironing board 1 is in its upper working position shown, and it can be seen that the wedge element 19 with its Control curve 20 only initially with overrun element 21 worked together in a supportive way.

Weiterhin ist am Schwenkscharnier 4 bei 39 ein Ärmelbrett 40 schwenkbar gelagert, das bei auf das Rückteil 2 aufgeklapptem Vorderteil 3 im Uhrzeigersinn aufgeschwenkt werden kann, bis eine Stütze 41 auf dem Stützträger 22 aufliegt (Figur 3). Die Oberseiten von Vorderteil 3 und Ärmelbrett 40 bilden eine ebene Auflagefläche. Wenn dagegen das Vorderteil 3 im Uhrzeigersinn geschwenkt wird, verschwenkt das Schwenkscharnier um 42, wodurch sich das Vorderteil um die Länge des Schwenkscharniers 4 in Auszugsrichtung 5 verlängert. Dadurch wird die Stütze 41 aus dem Bereich des Stützträgers 22 entfernt, und das Vorderteil 3 liegt direkt auf dem Stützträger 22 auf, so daß Rückteil 2 und Vorderteil 3 eine ebene Auflagefläche bilden.There is also a sleeve board 40 at 39 on the swivel hinge 4 pivoted, that when opened on the back 2 Front part 3 can be swung open clockwise until one Support 41 rests on the support bracket 22 (FIG. 3). The tops of front part 3 and sleeve board 40 form a flat contact surface. If, on the other hand, the front part 3 is pivoted clockwise the pivot hinge pivots by 42, which causes the Front part by the length of the pivot hinge 4 in the pull-out direction 5 extended. As a result, the support 41 is removed from the area of the Support bracket 22 removed, and the front part 3 lies directly on the support bracket 22, so that the back part 2 and front part 3 a form a flat support surface.

In den Fign. 4 und 5 ist ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines ausziehbaren Bügelbretts 1 gezeigt, bei dem zusätzlich eine die Auszugsbewegung unterstützende Zugfeder 26 vorgesehen ist. Dazu ist die Zugfeder 26 an ihrem hinteren Ende am Rückteil 2 und an ihrem vorderen Ende an einem Ankerelement 27 befestigt, welches im Stützträger 22 in Auszugsrichtung 5 verschiebbar geführt ist. In der in Fig. 4 gezeigten unteren Ruhestellung des Bügelbretts 1 ist die Zugfeder 26 gespannt, wobei das Ankerelement 27 mit einem unteren Absatz 28 einen Vorsprung der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 verrastend hintergreift. Dadurch ist das Rückteil 2 gegenüber der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 vorgespannt, so daß die zum Ausziehen und Aufschwenken des Bügelbretts 1 in Richtung 5 bzw. 14 aufzubringende Kraft gegenüber der Ausführungsform nach den Fign. 1 bis 3 verringert ist. In Figs. 4 and 5 is a second embodiment of a extendable ironing boards 1 shown, in which an additional Extension movement supporting tension spring 26 is provided. To is the tension spring 26 at its rear end on the back part 2 and attached at its front end to an anchor element 27 which is guided in the support beam 22 in the direction of extension 5. In the lower rest position of the ironing board 1 shown in FIG. 4 the tension spring 26 is tensioned, the anchor element 27 with a lower paragraph 28 a projection of the front telescopic rail 8th engages behind. This makes the back 2 opposite front telescopic rail 8 biased so that to pull out and swiveling the ironing board 1 in the direction 5 or 14 to be applied Force compared to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 is reduced to 3.

Beim weiteren Ausziehen läuft das Ankerelement 27 mit seiner unteren schrägen Vorderfläche 29 an einer schrägen unteren Führung 30 des Rückteils 2 auf, wodurch es entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt wird. Das Ankerelement 27 wird aus der Verrastung mit der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 gelöst und durch die untere Führung 30 noch weiter verschwenkt, bis es mit einem oberen Absatz 31 einen Führungswinkel 32 des Rückteils 2 für den Stützträger 22 verrastend hintergreift. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist die Zugfeder 26 im wesentlichen entspannt.As it is extended further, the anchor element 27 runs with its lower one inclined front surface 29 on an inclined lower guide 30 of the back part 2, making it counterclockwise is pivoted. The anchor element 27 is released from the latching the front telescopic rail 8 released and through the lower guide 30 pivots further until it has an upper paragraph 31 a guide angle 32 of the back part 2 for the support bracket 22 engages behind. At this point, the tension spring is 26 essentially relaxed.

Beim Einfahren des Bügelbretts 1 von der in Fig. 5 gezeigten Stellung zurück in die Stellung nach Fig. 4 läuft eine obere Führung 33 am einfahrenden Stützträger 22 auf eine obere schräge Vorderfläche 34 des Ankerelements 27 auf. Dieses wird dadurch im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt und aus der Verrastung mit dem Führungswinkel 32 gelöst und weiter verschwenkt, bis es in der unteren Ruhestellung der Fig. 4 mit seinem unteren Absatz 28 wieder den Vorsprung der vorderen Teleskopschiene 8 hintergreift.
