Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Umklappmechanismus für Türen, die insbesondere bei Möbelstücken verwendet werden, nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a folding mechanism for doors, which are used in particular for furniture, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Lamellenförmige Türen, insbesondere Jalousiematten und dergleichen, sind z. B. aus EP 1 275 803 A1 bekannt. Diese werden gewöhnlich durch einzelne miteinander verkettete lamellenförmige Türelemente gebildet. Die Tür mit den Lamellen wird in einer Führungsrille geführt, die im wesentlichen der Grundrißform des Schrankes folgt. Beim Öffnen des Schranks wird die Tür entlang der Führungsrille geführt und läuft mit zunehmender Öffnung in der Nähe einer Seitenwand des Schrankes ins Schrankinnere. Die Führung erfolgt dabei in der Regel parallel zu den Seitenwänden, bzw. je nach Länge der Kette aus Türelementen auch parallel zur Rückwand.Lamellar doors, especially slats and the like, are for. B. from EP 1 275 803 A1. These are usually formed by individual interlinked lamellar door elements. The door with the slats is guided in a guide groove, which follows substantially the planform of the cabinet. When opening the cabinet, the door is guided along the guide groove and runs with increasing opening in the vicinity of a side wall of the cabinet inside the cabinet. The guide is usually parallel to the side walls, or depending on the length of the chain of door elements also parallel to the rear wall.

Aufgrund der Geometrie muß diese Lamellentür dort, wo sie aus dem Schrankinnern zur Vorderseite hin austritt, einen rechten Winkel durchlaufen, was sich nur mit einer etwa kreisbogenförmigen Führungsrille ermöglichen läßt. Die Folge daraus ist, daß wenigstens das letzte Türelement bei vollständig verschlossenem Schrank, d.h. dasjenige Türelement bzw. diejenigen Türelemente, das/die der Seitenwand des Schranks am nächsten liegt/liegen, entweder zur Vorderseite des Schranks schräg steht oder mit der Seite des Schranks nicht bündig abschließt, so daß auf der Vorderseite des Schranks eine Lücke entsteht, welche durch seitliche Verblendungen kaschiert werden muß. Solche kaschierenden Verblendungen sind für den Gesamteindruck äußerst störend.Due to the geometry of this louvered door, where it exits from the inside of the cabinet to the front side to go through a right angle, which can be possible only with an approximately circular arc-shaped guide groove. The consequence of this is that at least the last door element with completely closed cabinet, ie that door element or those door elements, the / the side wall of the cabinet is the next / are either at an angle to the front of the cabinet or not with the side of the cabinet flush, so that on the front of the cabinet creates a gap, which must be laminated by lateral veneers. Such laminating veneers are extremely disturbing to the overall impression.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Umklappmechanismus für Türen zu schaffen, durch den der Gesamteindruck gewahrt bleibt und der einen bündigen Abschluß der Tür mit der Schrankseite bzw. einem Türrahmen erzielt, ohne daß eine Verblendung erforderlich ist.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a folding mechanism for doors, through which the overall impression is maintained and achieves a flush closure of the door with the cabinet side or a door frame, without a veneer is required.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen finden sich in den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß sind zwei Führungen vorgesehen, wobei die Türelemente in einer ersten Führung geführt werden. Die Kette aus Türelementen weist an ihrem Ende einen Beschlag auf, der zusätzlich in einer zweiten Führung geführt wird und wenigstens eines der Türelemente aufnimmt. Die zweite Führung läuft parallel zur ersten Führung, ändert jedoch im Schwenkbereich der Türelemente zur Vorderseite des Schranks hin ihren Verlauf so, daß der Beschlag auf relativ kurzer zurückgelegter Wegstrekke einen großen Schwenkbereich durchfährt. Hierdurch klappt der Beschlag zur Vorderseite des Schranks um, so daß das/die am Beschlag befestigte(n) Türelement(e) bündig mit der Schrankseite abschließt/abschließen bzw. eine Schrägstellung vermieden wird und infolge dessen keine zusätzliche Verblendung mehr erforderlich ist.According to the invention, two guides are provided, wherein the door elements are guided in a first guide. The chain of door elements has at its end a fitting, which is additionally guided in a second guide and receives at least one of the door elements. The second guide runs parallel to the first guide, but changes in the pivoting range of the door elements to the front of the cabinet towards their course so that the fitting passes through a large pivoting range on a relatively short distance covered path. As a result, the fitting works to the front of the cabinet, so that the / attached to the fitting (s) door (s) is flush with the cabinet side / complete or skew is avoided and as a result no additional veneering is required.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind weitere Beschläge zur Aufnahme der übrigen Türelemente vorgesehen. Die weiteren Beschläge bilden mit dem Beschlag eine Kette. Diese Variante ist insbesondere für Lamellentüren aus Glas oder anderen transparenten Materialien geeignet.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention further fittings for receiving the remaining door elements are provided. The other fittings form a chain with the fitting. This variant is particularly suitable for louvre doors made of glass or other transparent materials.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 1 bis 7 schematisch näher erläutert.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines Schrankes mit einer Seitenwand 6 und einer offenen Vorderseite 7, die durch eine aus Türelementen gebildete Tür (hier nicht gezeigt) verschlossen werden kann. Zur Führung der Tür sind zwei Kulissenführungen 3a, 3b vorgesehen, die sowohl im Boden als auch in der Schrankoberseite vorgesehen sein können, wobei nicht zwingend Kulissenführungen zum Einsatz kommen müssen, sondern auch andere geeignete Führungen verwendet werden können. Eine erste Kulissenführung 3a läuft parallel zu den Seitenflächen 6, 7 des Schranks und ist in den Eckbereichen zweier aufeinandertreffender Seiten 6, 7 gekrümmt. Weiter ist eine zweite Kulissenführung 3b vorgesehen, die im wesentlichen parallel zur ersten Kulissenführung 3a verläuft. Im Schwenkbereich, also in dem Bereich, in welchem die Lamellentüren in eine Richtung parallel zur Vorderseite 7 eingeschwenkt werden und in dem die Kulissenführungen gekrümmt sind, krümmt sich die zweite Kulissenführung 3b zur ersten Kulissenführung 3a hin. Diese Krümmung der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b zur ersten Kulissenführung verläuft bevorzugt in etwa rechtwinklig.Figure 1 shows a section of a cabinet with a side wall 6 and an open front 7, which can be closed by a door formed from door elements (not shown here). To guide the door two slide guides 3a, 3b are provided, which may be provided both in the floor and in the top of the cabinet, not necessarily slide guides must be used, but other suitable guides can be used. A first slotted guide 3a runs parallel to the side surfaces 6, 7 of the cabinet and is curved in the corner regions of two juxtaposed sides 6, 7. Next, a second slotted guide 3b is provided which extends substantially parallel to the first slotted guide 3a. In the swivel range, ie in the area in which the louver doors are pivoted in a direction parallel to the front side 7 and in which the slotted guides are curved, the second slotted guide 3b curves towards the first slotted guide 3a. This curvature of the second link guide 3b to the first link guide preferably extends approximately at right angles.

Die zweite Kulissenführung 3b wirkt mit einem speziellen Beschlag zusammen, der wenigstens ein Türelement am Ende einer Kette aus miteinander verbundenen Türelementen aufnimmt. Die Wirkungsweise ist in den Figuren 2 und 3 veranschaulicht.The second link guide 3b cooperates with a special fitting which receives at least one door element at the end of a chain of interconnected door elements. The mode of action is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Die Tür besteht, wie erwähnt, aus miteinander verbundenen Türelementen 2, die über Beschläge verkettet oder anderweitig (direkt oder indirekt) miteinander verbunden sein können, wobei es sich bevorzugt um eine Jalousiematte handelt. Die Türelemente 2 (vgl. Fig. 2 und 3) sind in der ersten Kulissenführung 3a geführt.The door is, as mentioned, made of interconnected door elements 2, which can be linked by fittings or otherwise (directly or indirectly) connected to each other, which is preferably a Venetian blind mat. The door elements 2 (see Fig. 2 and 3) are guided in the first slotted guide 3a.

Am Ende der Kette aus Türelementen 2 ist ein Beschlag 1 vorgesehen, der seinerseits wenigstens ein Türelement 2 aufnimmt. Der Beschlag 1 ist mittels eines Zapfens 5 sowohl in der ersten 3a als auch mittels eines weiteren Zapfens 5a in der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b geführt. Die Vorschubrichtung beim Schließen der Lamellentür ist durch die Pfeile in den Figuren 2 und 3 angedeutet. Am Beschlag 1 kann noch ein Führungselement 4 angelenkt sein, welches über einen weiteren Zapfen 5 in der ersten Kulissenführung 3a geführt wird.At the end of the chain of door elements 2, a fitting 1 is provided, which in turn receives at least one door element 2. The fitting 1 is guided by means of a pin 5 both in the first 3a and by means of a further pin 5a in the second slotted guide 3b. The feed direction when closing the louver door is indicated by the arrows in Figures 2 and 3. At the fitting 1 can still be hinged a guide element 4, which is guided over a further pin 5 in the first slotted guide 3a.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 veranschaulichen nun den erfindungsgemäßen Umklappmechanismus. In Figur 2 ist eine Situation dargestellt, bei der die Lamellentür halb geschlossen ist, d.h. es befinden sich bereits einige Türelemente 2 an der Vorderseite 7 des Möbelstücks und werden weiter in Pfeilrichtung bewegt. Der Beschlag 1 ist im Begriff, aus einer parallel zur Seite 6 des Möbelstücks verlaufenden Vorschubrichtung in die parallel zur Vorderseite 7 verlaufende Vorschubrichtung durch die gekrümmten Kulissenführungen 3a, 3b einzuschwenken. Das Führungselement 4 befindet sich mit dem Zapfen 5 im zur Seite 6 parallelen Teil der ersten Kulissenführung 3a. Der Beschlag 1 durchläuft mit seinen Zapfen 5 und 5a bereits die in Vorschubrichtung gekrümmten Bereiche der Kulissenführungen 3a bzw. 3b. Die letzten Türelemente 2 am Beschlag 1 werden langsam zur Vorderseite 7 hin geschwenkt.FIGS. 2 and 3 now illustrate the folding mechanism according to the invention. FIG. 2 shows a situation in which the louver door is half closed, ie there are already some door elements 2 on the front side 7 of the piece of furniture and are moved further in the direction of the arrow. The fitting 1 is in the process of swinging from a feed direction running parallel to the side 6 of the piece of furniture into the feed direction running parallel to the front face 7 through the curved slide guides 3a, 3b. The guide element 4 is located with the pin 5 in parallel to the side 6 part of the first slide guide 3a. The fitting 1 already passes with its pins 5 and 5a, the curved in the direction of advance areas of the slide guides 3a and 3b. The last door elements 2 on the fitting 1 are slowly pivoted to the front 7 back.

Bei weiterem Vorschub in Pfeilrichtung gelangt der Zapfen 5a des zweiten Beschlags 1 in der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b zu einer Stelle 8, an der sich die Krümmungsrichtung der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b ändert. Diese Krümmungsänderung, bei der sich die zweite Kulissenführung 3b zur ersten Kulissenführung 3a hin bevorzugt etwa im rechten Winkel krümmt, bewirkt, daß der Zapfen 5a im Verlauf des weiteren Vorschubs in der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b nur einen geringen Weg zurücklegt und der Beschlag 1 ein Drehmoment erhält, so daß die weitere Bewegung des Beschlags 1 im wesentlichen von einer Drehung oder Verschwenkung des Zapfens 5a bzw. des Beschlags 1 und damit der Türelemente 2 am Beschlag 1 geprägt ist.Upon further feed in the direction of arrow, the pin 5a of the second fitting 1 in the second link guide 3b to a point 8, at which the direction of curvature of the second link guide 3b changes. This change in curvature, at which the second slotted guide 3b preferably curves approximately at right angles to the first slotted guide 3a, causes the peg 5a to cover only a small distance in the course of the further feed in the second slotted guide 3b and the fitting 1 receives a torque , So that the further movement of the fitting 1 is essentially characterized by a rotation or pivoting of the pin 5a and the fitting 1 and thus the door elements 2 on the fitting 1.

Anders ausgedrückt wird die in der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b vom Zapfen 5a ausgeführte, im wesentlichen translatorische Bewegung mit leichter Schwenkbewegung des Beschlages 1 an dieser Stelle in eine im Vergleich starke Schwenkbewegung mit geringer Translation des Zapfens bzw. des Beschlags 1 überführt.In other words, the executed in the second link guide 3b from the pin 5a, essentially translational movement with slight pivoting movement of the fitting 1 at this point in a comparison strong pivotal movement with low translation of the pin or the fitting 1 is transferred.

Daraus ergibt sich, daß die letzten Türelemente 2 am Beschlag 1 zum Abschluß des Schließvorgangs "auf kleinem Raum" stark verschwenkt bzw. um den Zapfen 5a als Klappachse umgeklappt werden und so eng an der Seitenwand 6 anliegend in eine zur Vorderseite 7 parallele Ausrichtung gebracht werden können (Figur 3).It follows that the last door elements 2 on the fitting 1 at the conclusion of the closing operation "in a small space" strongly pivoted or folded around the pin 5a as a folding axis and are placed so close to the side wall 6 fitting in a direction parallel to the front 7 can (Figure 3).

Das Führungselement 4 befindet sich immer mit dem Zapfen 5 in der ersten Kulissenführung 3a, so daß das Öffnen der Tür vereinfacht wird. Bevorzugt endet die zweite Kulissenführung 3b mit einem Anschlag (nicht gezeigt), gegen den der Zapfen 5a im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür anliegen kann und die Tür nicht aus der Kulissenführung 3b herausspringt.The guide element 4 is always located with the pin 5 in the first slotted guide 3a, so that the opening of the door is simplified. Preferably, the second link guide 3b ends with a stop (not shown), against which the pin 5a can rest in the closed state of the door and the door does not jump out of the slotted guide 3b.

Beim Öffnen der Tür wird der oben geschilderte Vorgang umgekehrt, wobei der Beschlag 1 zunächst eine starke Schwenkbewegung oder Klappbewegung ausführt und die Schwenkbewegung im weiteren Verlauf langsamer erfolgt, wenn der Zapfen 5a in der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b den zur ersten Kulissenführung 3a parallelen Teil der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b erreicht.When opening the door, the above-described process is reversed, the fitting 1 first performs a strong pivotal movement or folding movement and the pivoting movement takes place slower in the course when the pin 5a in the second link guide 3b to the first link guide 3a parallel part of the second link guide 3b reached.

Anhand der Figuren 4 bis 7 wird im folgenden die Funktionsweise einer weiteren Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Umklappmechanismus beschrieben. Der im folgenden mit dem Bezugszeichen 1b bezeichnete Beschlag entspricht dem Beschlag 1 aus den Figuren 2 und 3.The mode of operation of a further embodiment of the folding mechanism according to the invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7. The fitting designated below by reference numeral 1b corresponds to the fitting 1 from FIGS. 2 and 3.

Die Tür besteht bei dieser Ausführungsform aus weiteren Beschlägen 1a, die jeweils eine Türlamelle 2 aufnehmen und aneinander angelenkt sind. Über Zapfen 5 greifen die weiteren Beschläge 1a in die erste Kulissenführung 3a ein und werden beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür in dieser entlang geführt.The door consists in this embodiment of further fittings 1a, each receiving a door leaf 2 and are hinged together. About pin 5 engage the other fittings 1a in the first slotted guide 3a and are performed when opening and closing the door in this along.

Am Ende der Kette aus weiteren Beschlägen 1a ist der Beschlag 1b angelenkt, der seinerseits eine Türlamelle 2 aufnimmt. Der Beschlag 1b wird mittels Zapfen 5 sowohl in der ersten 3a als auch mittels eines weiteren Zapfens 5a in der zweiten Kulissenführung 3b geführt. Die Vorschubrichtung beim Schließen der Lamellentür ist durch die Pfeile in den Figuren 3 bis 7 angedeutet. Am Beschlag 1b kann noch ein Führungselement 4 angelenkt sein, welches über einen weiteren Zapfen 5 in der ersten Kulissenführung 3a geführt wird.At the end of the chain of further fittings 1a, the fitting 1b is articulated, which in turn receives a door leaf 2. The fitting 1b is guided by means of pins 5 both in the first 3a and by means of a further pin 5a in the second link guide 3b. The feed direction when closing the louver door is indicated by the arrows in Figures 3 to 7. At the fitting 1b, a guide element 4 can be hinged, which is guided over a further pin 5 in the first slotted guide 3a.

Die übrige Funktionsweise ergibt sich aus der Betrachtung der Figuren 4 bis 7 und entspricht der Funktionsweise, die vorstehend anhand der Figuren 1 bis 3 beschrieben wurde.The remaining mode of operation results from the consideration of Figures 4 to 7 and corresponds to the operation described above with reference to Figures 1 to 3.

Die in den Figuren 4 bis 7 dargestellte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Umklappmechanismus eignet sich insbesondere für Lamellentüren mit Glaslamellen als Türelementen, von denen jeweils eines in einem der Beschläge 1a, 1b aufgenommen ist. Natürlich können in einem Beschlag 1a, 1b auch zwei oder mehr Türelemente vorgesehen sein.The embodiment of the folding mechanism according to the invention shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 is particularly suitable for slatted doors with glass slats as door elements, one of which is received in one of the fittings 1a, 1b. Of course, two or more door elements may be provided in a fitting 1a, 1b.

Der erfindungsgemäße Umklappmechanismus kann sowohl bei Lamellentüren mit Elementen aus Glas und dergleichen wie auch bei gewöhnlichen Jalousiematten eingesetzt werden.The folding mechanism according to the invention can be used both with louver doors with elements of glass and the like as well as ordinary Venetian blinds.
