Description

Mehrgelenkscharnier Multilink hinge
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Mehrgelenkscharnier zur Anlenkung eines Türflügels am Korpus eines Möbelstücks mit einem auf der Tragwand des Korpus befestigbaren Korpus-Anschlag- teil und einem mit diesem über einen Gelenkmechanismus verbundenen Turflügel-Anschlagteil, wobei der als langgestreckter Tragarm ausgebildete Tragwand-Anschlag eil auf einer an der Tragwand des Korpus befestigbaren Montageplatte angeordnet und mit dem als in einer Aussparung in der Rückseite des Türflügels befestigter Scharniertopf ausgebildeten Turflügel-Anschlagteil über den von wenigstens zwei jeweils an einem der Anschlagteile verschwenkbar angelenkten Gelenkarmen gebildeten Gelenkmechanismus gekoppelt ist .The invention relates to a multi-joint hinge for articulating a door wing on the body of a piece of furniture with a body stop part which can be fastened to the supporting wall of the body and a door wing stop part connected to this via an articulated mechanism, the supporting wall stop designed as an elongated support arm being fast on one arranged on the supporting wall of the carcass mounting plate and is coupled to the hinge cup designed as a hinge pot fastened in a recess in the rear of the door leaf via the articulated mechanism formed by at least two articulated arms each pivotably articulated on one of the anchoring parts.
Im modernen Möbelbau haben sich Mehrgelenkscharniere in den letzten Jahrzehnten in zunehmendem Maße gegenüber den früher verwendeten Eingelenkscharnieren durchgesetzt, weil Mehrgelenkscharniere - im Gegensatz zu Eingelenkscharnieren - bei geschlossenen Türflügel nicht sichtbar sind. Darüber hinaus können mit Mehrgelenkscharnieren auch spezielle kinematische Anforderungen erfüllt werden, die mit Eingelenkscharnieren nicht verwirklichbar sind. Als Mehrgelenkscharniere haben sich insbesondere zwei Bauformen durchgesetzt. Für Anwendungsfälle, in denen ein Türöffnungswinkel von etwa 90° bis max. 115° genügt, werden die preiswerteren sog. Viergelenkscharniere verwendet, während für die Anlen- kung von Türflügeln am Korpus mit größeren Öffnungswinkeln von bis zu 180°, sog. Weitwinkel- oder Kreuzgelenkscharniere eingesetzt werden, die aufgrund des vergleichsweise aufwendigeren konstruktiven Aufbaus des eigentlichen Gelenkmechanismus bei der Herstellung kostenaufwendiger als Viergelenkscharniere sind.In modern furniture construction, multi-joint hinges have become increasingly popular over the single-joint hinges used in the past few decades because, unlike single-joint hinges, multi-joint hinges are not visible when the door leaf is closed. In addition, multi-joint hinges can also meet special kinematic requirements that cannot be met with single-joint hinges. In particular, two designs have become established as multi-joint hinges. For applications in which a door opening angle of approximately 90 ° to max. 115 ° is sufficient, the cheaper so-called four-joint hinges are used, while for the hinge Kung of door wings on the body with larger opening angles of up to 180 °, so-called wide-angle or universal joint hinges are used, which are more expensive than four-joint hinges due to the comparatively more complex design of the actual joint mechanism in the manufacture.
Bei bekannten Kreuzgelenkscharnieren erfolgt die lageveränderliche Ankopplung des dem direkt verschwenkbaren an einem der Anschlagteile angelenkten Gelenkarm-Ende gegenüberliegenden Ende dieses Gelenkarms entweder indirekt über einen zwischengeschalteten Koppellenker, dessen Enden am Ende des Gelenkarms einerseits am anzukoppelnden Anschlagteil andererseits verschwenkbar angelenkt sind, oder alternativ über eine kulissenartige Gleitführung zumindest des am Korpus- Anschlagteil lageveränderlich anzukoppelnden Gelenkarms . Dabei können solche Kreuzgelenkscharniere auch mit einem Schnäppermechanismus unterschiedlicher Ausgestaltung versehen sein, welcher beim Schließen eines mit derartigen Kreuzgelenkscharnieren am Korpus eines Möbelstücks angeschlagenen Türflügels bei Annäherung des Türflügels an die Schließstellung diesen nach Überwindung eines Druckpunkts in die geschlossene Stellung schnappen lässt und in dieser hält (DE 25 52 729 C2) . Das stoßartige Auftreffen des Türflügels auf den Korpus beim Einschnappen in die Schließstellung beansprucht insbesondere die Lagerstellen der Scharnierglieder stoßartig. Auch bei schwungvollem Öffnen des Türflügels ohne dessen bewusste Abbremsung bei Annäherung an die ganz geöffnete Stellung durch die auf den Schrank zugreifende Person können solche stoßartigen Beanspruchungen im Scharnier auftreten, die infolge des vergleichsweise großen Hebelarms der im Schwerpunkt des Türflügels anzusetzenden kinetischen Schwungkraft des Türflügels im Vergleich zu den wirksamen Hebelarmen der Glieder des Gelenkmechanismus eine erhebliche Größe erreichen können. Stoßartige Beanspruchungen mit den entsprechenden nachteiligen Auswirkungen können andererseits auch bei Schließen von mit Viergelenkscharnieren am Schrankkorpus angeschlagene Türflügel entstehen, wenn diese mit einem Schnäpper- oder Schließmechanismus ausgerüstet sind.In known universal joint hinges, the positionally variable coupling of the end of this articulated arm opposite the directly pivotable articulated arm end articulated on one of the stop parts takes place either indirectly via an interposed coupling link, the ends of which are articulated at the end of the articulated arm on the one hand pivotably articulated on the stop part to be coupled, or alternatively via a link-like Sliding guidance of at least the articulated arm to be coupled to the body stop part in a positionally variable manner. Such universal joint hinges can also be provided with a snap mechanism of different design, which, when a door leaf attached to the body of a piece of furniture with such universal joint hinges is closed and the door leaf approaches the closed position, causes the latter to snap into the closed position after overcoming a pressure point and holds it in this position (DE 25 52 729 C2). The abrupt impact of the door leaf on the body when it snaps into the closed position particularly abruptly stresses the bearing points of the hinge members. Even if the door leaf is opened swingingly without deliberately braking it when approaching the fully open position by the person accessing the cabinet, such shock-like stresses can occur in the hinge as a result of the comparatively large lever arm of the kinetic momentum force of the door leaf to be applied in the center of gravity of the door leaf to the effective lever arms of the links of the joint mechanism can reach a considerable size. On the other hand, sudden loads with the corresponding adverse effects can also Closing of door hinges attached to the cabinet body with four-joint hinges occurs if they are equipped with a snap or locking mechanism.
Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, Mehrgelenkscharniere mit einer integrierten Dämpfungsvorrichtung zu versehen, welche bei Annäherung des Türflügels an wenigstens eine seiner Endstellungen eine Dämpfungswirkung entfaltet, welche auftretende Stoßbeanspruchungen zumindest auf ein unschädliches Maß verringert .In contrast, the object of the invention is to provide multi-joint hinges with an integrated damping device which, when the door leaf approaches at least one of its end positions, has a damping effect which at least reduces the impact stresses to a harmless level.
Ausgehend von den bekannten Gelenkscharnieren der eingangs erwähnten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine an einem tragwandseitigem Scharnierteil, d.h. dem Korpus-Anschlagteil bzw. der Montageplatte einerseits und einem der Gelenkarme andererseits angreifende und zumindest während eines abschließenden Teils der Verschwenkbewegung dieses Gelenkarms bei der Schließ- und/oder Öffnungsbewegung des Turflügel-Anschlagteils wirksame Dämpfungsvorrichtung .Starting from the known articulated hinges of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention by a hinge part on a supporting wall side, i.e. the body stop part or the mounting plate on the one hand and one of the articulated arms on the other hand, and at least during a final part of the pivoting movement of this articulated arm effective damping device during the closing and / or opening movement of the door wing stop part.
Wenn das mit der Dämpfungsvorrichtung auszurüstende Scharnier als Kreuzgelenkscharnier mit einem auf der Tragwand des Korpus befestigbaren Korpus-Anschlagteil und einem mit diesem über ein Kreuzgelenkmechanismus verbundenen Türflügel-Anschlagteil ausgebildet ist, wobei der Kreuzgelenkmechanismus zwei in ihrem mittleren Bereich relativ zueinander scherenartig verschwenkbare Gelenkarme aufweist, von denen jeweils einer an einem seiner Enden um eine feste Achse verschwenkbar an einem der Anschlagteile und am jeweils anderen Ende am jeweils anderen Anschlagteil entlang einer in einer rechtwinklig zur Scharnier-Schwenkachse liegenden Ebene verlaufenden vorgegebenen Raumkurve lagerveränderlich angekoppelt ist, ist die Ausgestaltung bevorzugt so getroffen, dass der um eine feste Achse verschwenkbar am oder im Turflügel-Anschlagteil gelagerte Gelenkarm an seinem gegenüberliegenden, mit dem Korpus-Anschlagteil gekop- pelten Ende um eine feste Achse verrschwenkbar am oder im korpusinneren Endbereich des Korpus-Anschlagteils gelagert ist, dass der sich zwischen dem verschwenkbar am Korpus-Anschlagteil und dem die Gelenkarme etwa mittig scherenartig verschwenkbar lagernden Bereich gelegene Abschnitt dieses Gelenkarms aus zwei um ein vorgegebenes Maß relativ zueinander längsverschieblichen Gelenkarm-Abschnitten zusammengesetzt ist, und dass die Dämpfungsvorrichtung zwischen den beiden Gelenkarm-Abschnitten vorgesehen und zumindest während eines Teils der Verschiebungsbewegung der Gelenkarm- Abschnitte relativ zueinander wirksam ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Unterteilung des lageveränderlich am Korpus-Anschlagteils angekoppelten Gelenkarm-Hebelarms in zwei relativ zueinander längsverschiebliche Gelenkarmabschnitte verändert sich die wirksame Hebellänge dieses Hebelarms während der Offnungs- bzw. Schließbewegung, wodurch die Zwischenschaltung eines Koppellenkers oder die Kopplung über eine kulissenartige Gleitführung entsprechend dem Stand der Technik nicht erforderlich ist . Aufgrund der bei der Scharnierverschwenkung erfolgenden Relativverschiebung der beiden Gelenkarm-Abschnitte bietet sich die Anordnung der Dämpfungsvorrichtung zwischen diesen beiden Gelenkarm- Abschnitten an.If the hinge to be equipped with the damping device is designed as a universal joint hinge with a body stop part which can be fastened to the supporting wall of the body and a door leaf stop part connected to the latter via a universal joint mechanism, the universal joint mechanism having two articulated arms which can be pivoted relative to one another in the middle area, from one of which is pivotally coupled at one of its ends about a fixed axis to one of the stop parts and at the other end at the other end part in each case along a predetermined spatial curve lying in a plane perpendicular to the hinge pivot axis, the configuration is preferably made such that that the articulated arm, which is pivotable about a fixed axis on or in the door wing stop part, is coupled on its opposite side, which is coupled to the body stop part. The end is pivotable about a fixed axis on or in the interior end area of the body stop part that is located between the pivotable part of the body stop part and the area of the articulated arm that is pivotably pivotable in the middle of a section of this articulated arm from two relative to a predetermined amount articulated arm sections that are longitudinally displaceable relative to one another, and that the damping device is provided between the two articulated arm sections and is effective relative to one another at least during part of the displacement movement of the articulated arm sections. The inventive division of the articulated arm lever arm, which is variably coupled to the body stop part, into two articulated arm sections which are longitudinally displaceable relative to one another changes the effective lever length of this lever arm during the opening or closing movement, as a result of which the interposition of a coupling link or the coupling via a sliding guide in accordance with the State of the art is not required. Due to the relative displacement of the two articulated arm sections when the hinge is pivoted, the arrangement of the damping device between these two articulated arm sections is appropriate.
Die relativ zueinander verschieblichen Gelenkarm-Abschnitte werden dabei zweckmäßig teleskopartig ineinandergreifend ausgebildet .The articulated arm sections which are displaceable relative to one another are expediently designed to interlock in a telescopic manner.
Dabei ist es dann von Vorteil, wenn der eine Gelenkarm-Abschnitt von einem langgestreckten Zylinder gebildet wird, der längsverschieblich auf einer den anderen Gelenkarm-Abschnitt bildenden Kolbenstange angeordnet ist.It is then advantageous if the one articulated arm section is formed by an elongated cylinder which is arranged so as to be longitudinally displaceable on a piston rod forming the other articulated arm section.
Die Kolbenstange wird dann zweckmäßig integral am mittleren, scherenartig mit dem anderen Gelenkarm verschwenkbar gekoppelten Bereich angesetzt und der längsverschieblich auf der Kolbenstange angeordnete Zylinder wird dann in sei- nem, der Eintrittsseite der Kolbenstange abgewandten Ende verschwenkbar am Korpus-Anschlagteil angelenkt.The piston rod is then expediently attached integrally to the central region, which is coupled in a scissor-like manner to the other articulated arm, and the cylinder, which is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable on the piston rod, is then Nem, the end facing away from the inlet side of the piston rod pivotally articulated on the body stop part.
Das am Korpus-Anschlagteil angelenkte Ende ist dann zweckmäßig verschlossen, wodurch am freien Ende der Kolbenstange ein Kolben anbringbar ist, dessen Durchmesser im Wesentlichen gleich dem lichten Innendurchmesser des Zylinders ist, so dass das Zylinderinnere in zwei durch den Kolben voneinander getrennte und bei einer relativen Verschiebung von Kolbenstange und Zylinder gegensinnig volumenveränderliche Arbeitsräume unterteilt ist, in denen ein fluides Dämpfungsmedium eingeschlossen sein kann. Als Dämpfungsmedium kommt sowohl ein gasförmiges Medium, vorzugsweise Umgebungsluft, oder auch ein fließfähiges viskoses Medium in Frage . Die Dämpfungswirkung wird dann durch gedrosseltes Überströmen des Dämpfungsmediums von dem sich verkleinernden in den sich vergrößernden Arbeitsraum erzielt.The end hinged to the body stop part is then expediently closed, as a result of which a piston can be attached to the free end of the piston rod, the diameter of which is essentially equal to the inside diameter of the cylinder, so that the cylinder interior is separated into two by the piston and at a relative one Displacement of the piston rod and cylinder in opposite directions volume-variable work spaces is divided, in which a fluid damping medium can be included. Both a gaseous medium, preferably ambient air, or a flowable viscous medium can be used as the damping medium. The damping effect is then achieved by throttling overflow of the damping medium from the shrinking into the enlarging work space.
Bei einer Ausgestaltung des Mehrgelenkscharniers als Viergelenkscharnier, dessen Gelenkmeclianismus von zwei jeweils an ihren Enden verschwenkbar am Tragwand-Anschlagteil einerseits und dem Türflügel-Anschlagteil andererseits angelenkten Gelenkarmen gebildet wird, ist die Ausgestaltung vorzugsweise so getroffen, dass die Dämpfungsvorrichtung an der Montageplatte einerseits und dem korpuswandnäheren inneren Gelenkarm andererseits angreift .In the case of an embodiment of the multi-joint hinge as a four-joint hinge, the joint mechanism of which is formed by two articulated arms articulated at their ends on the supporting wall stop part on the one hand and the door leaf stop part on the other hand, the configuration is preferably such that the damping device on the mounting plate on the one hand and near the body wall on the other hand attacks the inner articulated arm.
Dabei ist eine Ausgestaltung von Vorteil, bei welcher die Montageplatte als im Stanz-Press-Verfahren aus Metallblech hergestellte Flügelplatte mit einem langgestreckten, in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montagestellung des als langgestreckter Tragarm ausgebildeten Tragwand-Anschlagteils vom Tragarm übergriffener leistenartig hochgeprägter Befestigungsabschnitt ausgebildet ist, der auf seinen gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten mit in entgegengesetzte Richtung und vorspringenden Flügelansätzen versehen ist, wobei die Dämpfungsvorrichtung einen im hohlen Innern des leistenartigen langge- streckten Befestigungsabschnitts der Flügelplatte angeordneten Zylinder aufweist, in welchem ein Kolben längsverschieblich angeordnet ist, dessen Kolbenstange aus dem tür- flügelseitigen Ende des Zylinders herausgeführt ist und mit ihrem freien Ende am korpuswandnäheren inneren Gelenkarm angre ft .In this case, an embodiment is advantageous in which the mounting plate is designed as a wing plate made of sheet metal using the stamping-pressing method with an elongated, embossed, highly embossed fastening section, which is overlapped by the supporting arm in the intended mounting position of the supporting wall stop part designed as an elongated supporting arm opposite longitudinal sides is provided with in the opposite direction and projecting wing lugs, the damping device one in the hollow interior of the strip-like elongated stretched fastening section of the wing plate arranged cylinder, in which a piston is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable, the piston rod of which is led out of the door wing-side end of the cylinder and engages with its free end on the inner articulated arm near the body wall.
Dabei ist es dann zweckmäßig, wenn das freie Ende der Kolbenstange an einem integral am tragwandseitig verschwenkbar gelagerten Ende des korpuswandnäheren inneren Gelenkarms angesetzten Hebelarm angreift.It is then expedient if the free end of the piston rod engages on a lever arm which is integrally pivotably mounted on the end of the inner articulated arm closer to the body wall.

Darstellung eines vierten, als Viergelenkscharnier ausgebildeten erfindungsgemäßen Mehrgelenkscharniers in der Öffnungsstellung des Türflügels.Representation of a fourth, multi-joint hinge according to the invention designed as a four-joint hinge in the open position of the door leaf.
Das in den Zeichnungsfiguren gezeigte, in seiner Gesamtheit mit 10 bezeichnete erfindungsgemäße Kreuzgelenkscharnier dient dazu, einen Türflügel 12 an der Tragwand 14 des Korpus eines Möbelstücks anzulenken. Der Korpus-Anschlagteil 16 des Scharniers ist in üblicher Weise mittels einer Montageplatte 18 an der Tragwand 14 befestigt. Der Türflügel - Anschlagteil 20 hat die ebenfalls weit verbreitete Form eines in einer Aussparung an der Rückseite des Türflügels 12 vorgesehenen Aussparung befestigbaren Scharniertopfs.The universal joint hinge according to the invention shown in the drawings, designated in its entirety by 10, serves to link a door leaf 12 to the supporting wall 14 of the body of a piece of furniture. The body stop part 16 of the hinge is fastened to the supporting wall 14 in the usual way by means of a mounting plate 18. The door leaf stop part 20 also has the widespread shape of a hinge cup which can be fastened in a recess provided on the rear of the door leaf 12.
Der den Korpus-Anschlagteil und den Turflügel-Anschlagteil 20 verschwenkbar koppelnde Kreuzgelenkmechanismus wird von zwei Gelenkarmen 22 und 24 gebildet, die in ihrem mittleren Bereich durch einen Gelenkzapfen 26 verschwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind. Der Gelenkarm 22 ist am Korpus-Anschlagteil 16 mittels eines Lagerzapfens 28 und der Gelenkarm 24 am Türflügel-Anschlagteil 24 im Türflügel-Anschlagteil 20 mittels eines - in den Zeichnungsfiguren nicht erkennbaren - Lagerzapfens verschwenkbar angelenkt . Am anderen schwingenden Ende des Gelenkarms 22 ist verschwenkbar ein Koppellenker 32 angeschlossen, der seinerseits wiederum verschwenkbar im Turflügel-Anschlagteil 20 gelagert ist und der dieses Ende des Gelenkarms 22 auf einer kreisbogenförmigen Bahn führt .The universal joint mechanism pivotally coupling the body stop part and the door wing stop part 20 is formed by two joint arms 22 and 24 which are pivotally connected to one another in their central region by a joint pin 26. The articulated arm 22 is pivotally articulated on the body stop part 16 by means of a bearing pin 28 and the articulated arm 24 on the door leaf stop part 24 in the door leaf stop part 20 by means of a bearing pin, which cannot be seen in the drawing figures. At the other swinging end of the articulated arm 22, a coupling link 32 is pivotally connected, which in turn is pivotally mounted in the door wing stop part 20 and which leads this end of the articulated arm 22 on an arcuate path.
Das zweite Ende des Gelenkarms ist durch einen Lagerzapfen 34 direkt verschwenkbar am Korpus-Anschlagteil 16 angelenkt. Der zwischen dem Gelenkzapfen 26 und dem Lagerzapfen 34 liegende Teil des Gelenkarms 24 ist - abweichend von den bekannten Kreuzgelenkscharnieren - aus zwei Gelenkarm-Abschnitten 24a und 24b zusammengesetzt, von denen der vom Gelenkzapfen 26 verschwenkbar mit dem Gelenkarm 22 gekoppelte Gelenkarm-Abschnitt 24a als Kolbenstange ausgebildet ist, welche längsverschieblich ins Innere des zweiten als Zylinder ausgeführten Gelenkarm-Abschnitts 24b eingreift, wobei am zylinderinneren Ende der Kolbenstange ein - nicht gezeigter - Kolben eingesetzt ist, welcher die Gleitführung der Kolbenstange im Zylinder sicherstellt und im Zylinder- innern zwei durch den Kolben getrennte größenveränderliche Arbeitsräume bildet, welche praktisch die Dämpferräume für die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Dämpferanordnung bildet .The second end of the articulated arm is articulated directly on the body stop part 16 by a bearing pin 34. The part of the articulated arm 24 lying between the articulated pin 26 and the bearing pin 34 is - in contrast to the known universal joint hinges - composed of two articulated arm sections 24a and 24b, of which the articulated arm section 24a, which is pivotably coupled to the articulated arm 22 by the articulated arm 22, acts as a piston rod is formed, which engages longitudinally displaceably in the interior of the second articulated arm section 24b designed as a cylinder, a piston (not shown) being inserted at the cylinder-inner end of the piston rod, which ensures the sliding guidance of the piston rod in the cylinder and two inside the cylinder through the piston forms separate size-adjustable working spaces, which practically form the damper spaces for the damper arrangement provided according to the invention.
Wenn als Dämpfungsmedium ein Gas, z.B. Umgebungsluft , verwendet wird, wird die Dämpfungsfunktion durch das gedrosselte Überströmen der in den Arbeitsräumen eingeschlossenen Luft von dem sich verkleinernden in den sich vergrößernden Arbeitsraum bewirkt . Das Überströmen der Luft kann dabei durch eine entsprechende Passung des Kolbens im Innern des Zylinders zwischen dem Kolbenumfang und der Zylinderwandung erfolgen. Gegebenenfalls kann auch eine kanalartige Vertiefung im Umfang des Kolbens oder eine entsprechend kalibrierte Durchgangsbohrung im Kolben die Drosselstrecke bilden. Anstelle eines gasförmigen Dämpfungsmediums kann auch ein flüssiges Dämpfungsmedium geeigneter Viskosität, beispielsweise ein Dämpferöl als Dämpfungsmedium eingesetzt werden, wobei dann der Eintrittsbereich der Kolbenstange 24a in den Zylinder 24b entsprechend sorgfältig gegen Austritt des Dämpfungsmediums abgedichtet werden muss.If a gas, for example ambient air, is used as the damping medium, the damping function is brought about by the throttled overflow of the air enclosed in the work spaces from the shrinking to the enlarging work space. The overflow of air can take place by a corresponding fit of the piston inside the cylinder between the piston circumference and the cylinder wall. If necessary, a channel-like depression in the circumference of the piston or a correspondingly calibrated through hole in the piston can form the throttle section. Instead of a gaseous damping medium, a liquid damping medium of suitable viscosity, for example a damper oil, can also be used as the damping medium, with the entry region of the piston rod then 24a in the cylinder 24b must accordingly be carefully sealed against leakage of the damping medium.
In den Figuren 5 und 6 sind zwei gegenüber dem vorstehend in Verbindung mit den Figuren 1 bis 4 beschriebenen Kreuz - gelenkscharnier 10 abgewandelte Ausführungsbeispiele solcher in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise ausgebildeten Kreuzgelenkscharniere 10' und 10" dargestellt, die im grundsätzlichen Aufbau und der Funktion dem Kreuzgelenkscharnier 10 entsprechen, wobei lediglich beim Kreuzgelenkscharnier 10 ' der Zylinder 24b und die in diesem verschiebliche Kolbenstange 24a aus ihrer in der Längsmittelebene des Scharniers angeordnete Lage seitlich versetzt angeordnet sind, so dass das Innere des Korpus-Anschlagteils 16 - z.B. für Befesti- gungs- oder Verstellmittel - von oben zugänglich ist.FIGS. 5 and 6 show two exemplary embodiments of such universal joint hinges 10 ′ and 10 ″ modified in comparison to the universal joint hinge 10 described above in connection with FIGS. 1 to 4, which have the basic structure and function of the universal joint hinge 10 correspond, with only the universal joint hinge 10 'of the cylinder 24b and the piston rod 24a displaceable therein being laterally offset from their position arranged in the longitudinal center plane of the hinge, so that the interior of the body stop part 16 - for example for fastening or adjusting means - is accessible from above.
Bei dem weiter abgewandelten Kreuzgelenkscharnier 10" ist ein Paar von jeweils auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Längsmittelebene des Scharniers 10" angeordneten Zylindern 24b .und Kolbenstangen 24a vorgesehen.In the further modified universal joint hinge 10 ", a pair of cylinders 24b. And piston rods 24a arranged on opposite sides of the longitudinal center plane of the hinge 10" are provided.
Bei dem in Fig. 7 gezeigten vierten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das tragwandseitig auseinandergezogen, d.h. in einer Explosionsdarstellung dargestellte Scharnier ein Viergelenkscharnier 10"', dessen Gelenkmechanismus von zwei mit ihren Enden an dem als Tragarm ausgebildeten Tragwand-Anschlagteil 16 einerseits und in dem als Scharniertopf ausgebildeten Turflügel-Anschlagteil 20 verschwenkbar angelenkten Gelenkarmen 22, 24 gebildet wird. Die den Tragarm 16 verstellbar auf der Tragwand 14 halternde Montageplatte 18 ist ein Stanz-/Pressteil aus Metallblech und weist einen mittleren hochgeprägten langgestreckten Befestigungsabschnitt 18a auf, an dessen beiden gegenüberliegenden Längsseiten in entgegengesetzte Richtung weisende Flügelansätze 18b integral angesetzt sind, welche auf der Tragwand 14 aufschraubbar sind. Die Dämpfungsvorrichtung weist einen innerhalb des Befestigungsabschnitts 18a angeordneten und an seinem korpusinneren Ende, im Befestigungsabschnitt gehalterten langgestreckten Zylinder 24b auf, in welchem ein - nicht gezeigter - Kolben längsverschieblich angeordnet ist. Das freie Ende einer am Kolben befestigten Kolbenstange 24a ist aus dem flügelseitigen Ende des Zylinders 24b herausgeführt und gelenkig am freien Ende eines kurzen Hebelarms 24c angeschlossen, welche integral am korpussei- tigen Ende des Gelenkarms 24 angesetzt ist. Der Kolben unterteilt das Zylinderinnere in zwei volumenveränderliche Arbeitsräume, in denen ein fluides Dämpfungsmedium eingeschlossen ist. Bei Verschiebung des Kolbens im Zylinder tritt das fluide Dämpfungsmedium gedrosselt von einem in den anderen Arbeitsraum über, wodurch die angestrebte Dämpfungskraft aufgebaut wird. Die Dämpfungscharakteristik kann dabei in üblicher Weise durch Bemessung von querschnitts- veränderlichen Drosselspalten am Zylinderumfang bzw. von Drosselöffnungen im Kolben gebildet sein.In the fourth exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the hinge side is pulled apart, that is to say in an exploded view, a four-joint hinge 10 "', the articulation mechanism of which has two ends on the one hand on the support wall stop part 16 designed as a support arm and in the door wing designed as a hinge cup -Stop part 20 pivotally articulated articulated arms 22, 24. The mounting plate 18, which supports the support arm 16 in an adjustable manner on the support wall 14, is a stamped / pressed part made of sheet metal and has a central, highly embossed, elongated fastening section 18a, on its two opposite longitudinal sides in the opposite direction pointing wing projections 18b are integrally attached, which can be screwed onto the support wall 14. The damping device has a and arranged within the fastening section 18a at its inside end, elongated cylinder 24b held in the fastening section, in which a piston (not shown) is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable. The free end of a piston rod 24a fastened to the piston is led out of the wing-side end of the cylinder 24b and connected in an articulated manner to the free end of a short lever arm 24c which is integrally attached to the end of the articulated arm 24 on the body side. The piston divides the interior of the cylinder into two variable-volume work spaces in which a fluid damping medium is enclosed. When the piston is displaced in the cylinder, the fluid damping medium throttles from one to the other working space, whereby the desired damping force is built up. The damping characteristic can be formed in the usual way by dimensioning cross-section-variable throttle gaps on the cylinder circumference or throttle openings in the piston.
Es ist ersichtlich, dass im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedankens weitere Abwandlungen und Weiterbildungen der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele verwirklichbar sind. So kann die Anordnung des Zylinders 24b und der Kolbenstange 24a auch gegenüber den beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen in dem Sinne vertauscht werden, dass das freie Ende der Kolbenstange 24a verschwenkbar am korpusinneren Endabschnittes Korpus-Anschlagteil 16 angelenkt und dementsprechend das kolbenstangenabgewandte Ende des Zylinders 24b am mittleren scherenartigen mit dem anderen Gelenkarm 22 verschwenkbar gekoppelten Bereich des Kreuzgelenkmechanismus integral angesetzt ist. It can be seen that further modifications and developments of the exemplary embodiments described can be implemented within the scope of the inventive concept. Thus, the arrangement of the cylinder 24b and the piston rod 24a can also be exchanged in relation to the described exemplary embodiments in the sense that the free end of the piston rod 24a is pivotably articulated on the end portion of the body of the body stop part 16 and accordingly the end of the cylinder 24b facing away from the piston rod on the middle scissor-like part the other articulated arm 22 pivotally coupled area of the universal joint mechanism is integrally attached.
