Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Tür-Höhenrichtung eine Richtung senkrecht zu einer theoretischen Verbindungslinie zwischen der Scharnierachse 18 und der Pleueldrehachse 22.The connecting rod 24 is at its remote from the Pleueldrehachse 22 end by a to Pleueldrehachse 22 parallel guide pin 26 in a guide slot 28th guided parallel to the door level in door height direction. The guide slot 28 is in the door part 20 formed and extends parallel to the door level in the door height direction (direction in the "height" when the door 6 is in the vertical closed position according to Figure 3). The door height direction is approximately the longitudinal direction in which the connecting rod 24 extends. In the illustrated embodiment, the door height direction is one direction perpendicular to a theoretical connection line between the hinge axis 18 and the connecting rod pivot axis 22.

Eine Schraubenfeder 30 ist eine Zugfeder und ist mit ihrem einen Ende an dem von der Pleueldrehachse 22 entfernten Ende 31 der Pleuelstange 24, und mit ihrem anderen Ende 32 an dem Türteil 20 an einem Befestigungsabschnitt 34 befestigt, vorzugsweise eingehängt. Dieser Befestigungsabschnitt 34 des Türteils 20 hat in Tür-Höhenrichtung einen größeren Abstand von der Pleueldrehachse 22 als das an der Pleuelstange fixierte eine Federende. Das eine Ende der Schraubenfeder 30 kann den Führungszapfen 26 bilden. A coil spring 30 is a tension spring and is at one end to that of the Pleueldrehachse 22 remote end 31 of the connecting rod 24, and with its other end 32 attached to the door part 20 at a mounting portion 34, preferably hung. This attachment portion 34 of the door part 20 has a door height direction greater distance from the connecting rod pivot axis 22 than the fixed to the connecting rod one Spring end. The one end of the coil spring 30 may form the guide pin 26.

Dadurch, daß die beiden Achsen 18 und 22 mit Abstand übereinander und damit exzentrisch angeordnet sind, hat das von der Pleueldrehachse 22 abgewandte distale Pleuelstangenende 31 von der Scharnierachse 18 in vertikaler Tür-Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 3 einen größten Abstand und in ungefähr horizontaler Tür-Offenstellung gemäß Fig. 1 einen kleinsten Abstand. Umgekehrt haben das distale Pleuelstangenende 31 und damit auch der Führungszapfen 26 mit dem einen Federende in der in Fig.3 gezeigten Tür-Schließstellung einen kleinsten, mit zunehmender größerer Tür-Offenstellung einen zunehmend größeren, und in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten ungefähr horizontalen Stellung der Tür einen größten Abstand von dem Befestigungsabschnitt 34 des Türteils 20, an welchem das andere Federende 32 befestigt ist. Dadurch erzeugt die Schraubenfeder 30 in der in Fig.1 gezeigten, ungefähr horizontalen Offenstellung (Öffnungs-Endstellung) der Tür eine größte, die Tür in Schließrichtung drängende Zugkraft, und in Tür-Schließstellung von Fig. 3 die kleinste Zugkraft. Die Schraubenfeder 30 ist vorzugsweise mit Vorspannung eingespannt, so daß auch in Schließstellung der Tür die Federkraft nicht Null ist.Characterized in that the two axes 18 and 22 at a distance one above the other and thus eccentric are arranged, has the remote from the connecting rod pivot axis 22 distal connecting rod end 31 of the hinge axis 18 in the vertical door closed position shown in FIG. 3 a maximum distance and approximately horizontal door open position shown in FIG. 1 a smallest distance. Conversely, the distal connecting rod end 31 and so on also the guide pin 26 with the one spring end in the door closed position shown in Figure 3 a smallest, with increasing larger door-open position one increasingly larger, and in the approximately horizontal position of the door shown in Fig. 1 a largest distance from the attachment portion 34 of the door part 20, on which the other spring end 32 is attached. As a result, the coil spring 30 generates in the in 1, approximately horizontal open position (opening-end position) of the door one largest, the door in the closing direction urging tensile force, and in the door closed position of Fig. 3, the smallest tensile force. The coil spring 30 is preferably biased clamped, so that the spring force is not zero even in the closed position of the door.

Der Türteil 20 ist ein Blechstück mit einem die beiden Achsen 18 und 22 aufnehmenden, sich in Tür-Öffnungsrichtung erstreckenden Schenkel 36 und einem rechtwinkelig dazu angeordneten Schenkel 38, welcher sich parallel zur Türebene erstreckt und sich auf der von der Scharnierachse 18 abgewandten Seite 40 der Pleueldrehachse 22 und somit auf deren Türinnenseite 40 befindet. Der Abstand der Pleuelstange 24 von dem ihr in Türschließrichtung gegenüberliegenden Türteilschenkel 38 ist im Bereich des Führungszapfens 26 unabhängig von dem Offenstellungswinkel der Tür immer konstant, jedoch ändert sich dieser Abstand im Bereich zwischen dem Führungszapfen 26 und der Pleueldrehachse 22 in Abhängigkeit von Änderungen des Öffnungswinkels der Tür und damit in Abhängigkeit von der Winkelposition des Türteils 20 relativ zum Gehäuseteil 8. Hierbei sind die Abstandsänderungen zwischen dem Türteilschenkel 38 und der Pleuelstange 24 in Richtung vom Führungszapfen 26 zur Pleueldrehachse 22 hin zunehmend stärker.The door part 20 is a piece of sheet metal with a two axes 18 and 22 receiving, extending in the door opening direction leg 36 and a right angle to it arranged leg 38, which extends parallel to the door plane and on the from the hinge axis 18 side facing away from 40 Pleueldrehachse 22 and thus on the inside of the door 40 is located. The distance of the connecting rod 24 of the her in the door closing direction opposite door part leg 38 is in the region of the guide pin 26 always constant, regardless of the door opening angle, but changes this distance in the area between the guide pin 26 and the connecting rod pivot axis 22 as a function of changes in the opening angle of the door and thus in dependence from the angular position of the door part 20 relative to the housing part 8. Here are the distance changes between the door part leg 38 and the connecting rod 24 in Direction from the guide pin 26 to the Pleueldrehachse 22 increasingly stronger.

An der Pleuelstange 24 ist ein in Türbewegungsrichtung federelastisch nachgiebiger Arretierkörper 42 befestigt, welcher eine in Türschließrichtung zeigende Arretierfläche 44 aufweist. Die Arretierfläche 44 berührt einen ebenfalls als Arretierfläche 46 ausgebildeten Abschnitt des tür-innenseitigen Türteilschenkels 38 in Türschließstellung (Vertikalstellung) von Fig.3 nicht, kommt jedoch wegen der vorstehend beschriebenen Relativbewegungen zwischen der Pleuelstange 24 und dem türinnenseitigen Türteilschenkel 38 ab einem vorbestimmten Öffnungswinkel, von beispielsweise 80°, mit dessen Arretierfläche 46 in Reibkontakt und übt dadurch auf die Tür eine Bremswirkung aus, wenn diese weiter in eine annähernd horizontale, quergerichtete Öffnungsstellung weiterbewegt wird, welche in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. Da die Arretierfläche 46 des türinnenseitigen Türteilschenkels 38 mit zunehmendem Türöffnungswinkel stärker gegen die Arretierfläche 46 des Arretierkörpers 42 drückt, wird mit zunehmendem Türöffnungswinkel auch die Bremswirkung verstärkt. Die Bremswirkung soll in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten vollständigen Offenstellung der Tür so groß sein, daß die Federkraft der Feder 30 die Tür 6 auch dann nicht in Schließstellung selbständig zurückbewegen kann, wenn von der Tür eine als Schauglas dienende Glasplatte 48, beispielsweise zu Reinigungszwecken, entfernt wird. Andererseits darf die Bremswirkung nur so groß sein, daß die Tür manuell entgegen der Bremskraft in Schließrichtung wieder zurück bewegt werden kann.At the connecting rod 24 is a resilient in the door movement direction locking body 42 fastened, which a pointing in the door closing direction locking surface 44th having. The locking surface 44 contacts a likewise designed as a locking surface 46 Section of the door inside door part leg 38 in door closed position (vertical position) of Fig.3 not, but comes because of the relative movements described above between the connecting rod 24 and the door inner side door leg 38 from a predetermined Opening angle, for example, 80 °, with the locking surface 46 in Frictional contact and thereby exerts on the door a braking effect, if this further into a approximately horizontal, transverse opening position is moved, which in Fig. 1 is shown. Since the locking surface 46 of the door inner side door leg 38 with increasing Door opening angle stronger against the locking surface 46 of the locking body 42 presses, the braking effect is enhanced with increasing door opening angle. The braking effect should in the full open position of the door shown in Fig. 1 so be large, that the spring force of the spring 30, the door 6 then not in the closed position can move back independently, if from the door serving as a sight glass plate 48, for example, for cleaning purposes, is removed. On the other hand, the Braking effect only be so great that the door is manually against the braking force in the closing direction can be moved back again.

Damit die Bremswirkung einerseits in der vollständigen Türoffenstellung von Fig.1 ausreichend groß ist, andererseits jedoch bei nur wenig kleinerem Öffnungswinkel nicht bereits unangenehm groß wird, ist gemäß bevorzugter Ausführungsform in dem türinnenseitigen Türteilschenkel 38 ein Ausschnitt 50 gebildet, in welchen ein nasenartiger oder rastenartiger Vorsprung 52 der Arretierfläche 44 des Arretierkörpers 42 nur in der quergerichteten Öffnungsstellung der Tür 6, welche Fig.1 zeigt, eingreifen kann und dabei an einer Ausschnittskante 54 angreift und dort eine sprunghaft höhere Bremswirkung gegen eine Bewegung der Tür in Schließrichtung erzeugt. Anstatt durch eine Ausschnittskante 54, kann eine entsprechende Arretierfläche an dem türinnenseitigen Türteilschenkel 38 durch einen in ihm gebildeten Absatz oder Vorsprung gebildet werden.So that the braking effect on the one hand in the complete door open position of Fig.1 sufficient is large, on the other hand, however, not already at a small smaller opening angle becomes uncomfortably large, according to a preferred embodiment in the inside of the door Door part leg 38, a cutout 50 is formed, in which a nose-like or latch-like Projection 52 of the locking surface 44 of the locking body 42 only in the transverse direction Opening position of the door 6, which Fig.1 shows, can engage and thereby at a cut-out edge 54 attacks and there is a leap in braking action against a movement the door generated in the closing direction. Instead of a cut-out edge 54, can a corresponding locking surface on the door inner side door leg 38 by a be formed in it formed paragraph or projection.

Die Ausschnittkante 54 zeigt in Richtung zu den Achsen 18 und 22 hin. Eine entgegengesetzt, in Tür-Höhenrichtung nach oben zeigende Ausschnittskante 56 oder eine ihr entsprechende Absatzfläche des Türteils 20 ist vorzugsweise so nahe bei der einen Ausschnittkante 54 angeordnet, daß der rastenartige Vorsprung 52 beim Eingriff in den Ausschnitt 50 an beiden Kanten 54 und 56 anliegt und dadurch eine Bremswirkung in beiden Tür-Schwenkrichtungen erzeugt.The cutout edge 54 points in the direction of the axes 18 and 22. An opposite, in door height direction upward cutting edge 56 or a corresponding her Sales area of the door part 20 is preferably so close to the one cutting edge 54 arranged that the latch-like projection 52 when engaging in the cutout 50 abuts both edges 54 and 56 and thereby a braking effect in both Door swivel directions generated.

Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die Glasplatte 48 statt auf der Türaußenseite auf der Türinnenseite angeordnet sein, wie dies ebenfalls in Fig.1 durch die Bezugszahl 48' angedeutet ist. In diesem Falle kann die Glasplatte 48' den Ausschnitt 50 überdecken und dadurch den rastenartigen Vorsprung 52 des Arretierkörpers 42 in den Ausschnitt 50 zurückdrängen. Dadurch wird die Bremswirkung oder Arretierwirkung durch die befestigte Glasplatte 48' reduziert. Erst wenn die Glasplatte 48' von der Tür 6 entfernt wird, beispielsweise um sie zu reinigen, greift der Arretierkörper 42 tiefer in den Ausschnitt 50 ein und verstärkt dadurch die Bremswirkung in der horizontalen Türlage von Fig. 1.According to another embodiment, the glass plate 48 instead of on the outside of the door be arranged on the inside of the door, as also in Fig.1 by the reference number 48 'is indicated. In this case, the glass plate 48 'can cover the cutout 50 and thereby the latch-like projection 52 of the locking body 42 in the cutout Push back 50. Thereby, the braking effect or locking effect by the fixed glass plate 48 'reduced. Only when the glass plate 48 'is removed from the door 6 is, for example, to clean them, the locking body 42 engages deeper into the neck 50 and thereby amplifies the braking effect in the horizontal door position of Fig. 1.

Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die Arretierfläche 44 des Arretierkörpers 42 derart ausgebildet sein, daß sie nur in der Öffnungs-Endstellung der Tür 2, welche die in Fig. 1 gezeigte quergerichtete Öffnungsstellung ist, den türinnenseitigen Türteilschenkel 38 kontaktieren und dabei eine Bremswirkung oder eine Sperrwirkung durch Einrasten an einer Kante oder dergleichen dieses Türschenkels erzeugen kann, welche von der Federkraft nicht überwindbar ist, sondern nur durch eine zusätzliche Kraft einer Bedienperson.According to another embodiment, the locking surface 44 of the locking body 42 be formed so that they only in the opening end position of the door 2, which the in Fig. 1 shown transverse open position is the door inner side door leg 38 contact while a braking effect or a locking effect by snapping on an edge or the like can produce this door leg, which of the spring force is not surmountable, but only by an additional force of an operator.

Die Schraubenfeder 30 kann eine Druckfeder sein, wie dies aus der DE 41 08 816 A1 bekannt ist. Damit auch in diesem Fall die Tür 6 von der Federkraft in Schließrichtung gedrängt wird, kann sich die Pleuelstange 24, wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist, durch die Schraubenfeder hindurch erstrecken, das von der Pleueldrehachse 22 entfernten Federende kann an der Pleuelstange 24 abgestützt sein und das der Pleueldrehachse 22 näher gelegene Federende kann an einem Vorsprung des Türteils 20 abgestützt sein.The coil spring 30 may be a compression spring, as known from DE 41 08 816 A1 is. Thus, in this case, the door 6 urged by the spring force in the closing direction is the connecting rod 24, as is known in the art, extend through the coil spring, which removed from the pivot axis 22 Spring end may be supported on the connecting rod 24 and the connecting rod pivot axis 22 closer spring end may be supported on a projection of the door part 20.

Die Arretierflächen 44 und 46 sind vorzugsweise nach Art von Bremsflächen ausgebildet.The locking surfaces 44 and 46 are preferably formed in the manner of braking surfaces.

Der Arretierkörper 42 kann eine federelastisch biegsame Feder sein oder ein federelastisch in sich kompressibler Körper. Er stellt einen elastischen, innerhalb der Türabmessungen unterbringbaren Funktionsblock dar, welcher ein sicheres Halten der Tür in ihrer maximalen Offenstellung gewährleistet. Dadurch wird bei Reduzierung des Türgewichtes, z. B. beim Wegnehmen ihrer Glasplatte, ein Zuschlagen der Tür verhindert. Der maximale Türöffnungswinkel α 1 in der querliegenden Tür-Offenstellung von Fig. 1 beträgt beispielsweise 88°. Die durch die Erfindung gegebene Bremswirkung beginnt vorzugsweise bei einem Öffnungswinkel α 2 von ungefähr 75°, wie dies in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist. Die Erfindung besteht aus einem kombinierten Brems- und Rastsystem, wobei auch in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Raststellung die Verrastung oder Verriegelung durch eine manuelle Schließkraft auf die Tür gelöst werden kann.The locking body 42 may be a resiliently flexible spring or a spring elastic in a compressible body. He puts an elastic, within the door dimensions housable function block, which is a secure hold the door in her guaranteed maximum open position. This will reduce the door weight, z. B. when taking away their glass plate, prevents slamming the door. The maximum Door opening angle α 1 in the transverse door open position of Fig. 1, for example 88 °. The braking effect given by the invention preferably begins at an opening angle α 2 of about 75 °, as shown in Fig. 2. The invention consists of a combined braking and locking system, wherein also in the in Fig. 1 locking position shown the locking or locking by a manual closing force can be solved on the door.

Der maximale Tür-Öffnungswinkel α 1 ist durch Anschläge 60 und 62 definiert, von welchen z. B. einer 60 durch den Gehäuseteil 8 und der andere 62 durch den Türteil 20 gebildet ist.The maximum door opening angle α 1 is defined by stops 60 and 62, of which z. B. a 60 formed by the housing part 8 and the other 62 through the door part 20 is.
