Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Scharnier gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1The invention relates to a hinge according to the preamble of claim 1

Die Patentanmeldung FR 2571417 offenbart ein Beispiel eines Scharniers zum Verbinden zweier Teilklappen einer Faltklappe. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein derartiges Scharnier dahingehend zu verbessern, dass verhindert wird, dass beim Schließen einer Faltklappe ein Finger zwischen den Teilklappen eingeklemmt werden kann.The patent application FR 2571417 discloses an example of a hinge for connecting two partial flaps of a folding flap. The object of the invention is to improve such a hinge to the effect that it is prevented that when closing a folding flap, a finger between the partial flaps can be clamped.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object of the invention is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Bevorzugt bieten sich drei Varianten der Verschiebbarkeit des Gelenkteils an. So kann zum einen vorgesehen sein, dass die Montageplatte dazu ausgebildet ist, den, kurz als verschiebbarer Gelenkteil bezeichneten, verschiebbar gelagerten Gelenkteil einer der Teilklappen zu verbinden, wobei der verschiebbare Gelenkteil relativ zu dieser Montageplatte verschiebbar gelagert ist. Andererseits ist es auch möglich, dass der verschiebbare Gelenkteil, gegebenenfalls mittels einer Montageplatte an einer der Teilklappen befestigbar ist und relativ zu einer Montageplatte des zweiten Gelenkteils verschiebbar gelagert ist. Als dritte Variante bietet es sich auch an, die erstgenannten Möglichkeiten miteinander zu verbinden. Letztgenannte Möglichkeit ist dann besonders günstig einzusetzen, wenn die Fuge zwischen den Teilplatten um einen besonders großen Betrag vergrößerbar sein soll.Preferably, there are three variants of the displaceability of the joint part. Thus, on the one hand, it may be provided that the mounting plate is designed to connect the hinge part, which is referred to as a displaceable hinge part, displaceably mounted on one of the partial flaps, wherein the displaceable hinge part is displaceably mounted relative to this mounting plate. On the other hand, it is also possible that the displaceable hinge part, if appropriate by means of a mounting plate on one of the partial flaps is fastened and is mounted relative to a mounting plate of the second hinge part slidably. As a third variant, it is also possible to combine the former options with each other. The latter option is then particularly beneficial to use when the gap between the sub-panels to be increased by a particularly large amount.

Alle erfindungsgemäßen Varianten haben den Vorteil, dass die Fuge mittels einer oder mehreren, vorzugsweise linearen, Verschiebebewegung(en) entlang einer oder mehrerer Führungsbahnen realisiert werden kann, ohne dass das Scharnier hierzu konstruktiv aufwendige zusätzliche Schwenk- oder Klappbewegungen ermöglichen muss.All the variants according to the invention have the advantage that the joint can be realized by means of one or more, preferably linear, sliding movement (s) along one or more guideways, without the hinge having to allow structurally complicated additional pivotal or folding movements for this purpose.

Vorteilhaft ist vorgesehen, dass der verschiebbare Gelenkteil von mindestens einer Feder beaufschlagt wird.It is advantageously provided that the displaceable hinge part is acted upon by at least one spring.

Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht vor, dass im verschiebbaren Gelenkteil eine federbeaufschlagte Rastnase lagert, die in einer Vertiefung der Montageplatte einrastet.Another embodiment of the invention provides that in the displaceable hinge part a spring-loaded latching nose superimposed, which engages in a recess of the mounting plate.

Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel sieht vor, dass die Halteeinrichtung von einem Magneten gebildet wird.A further embodiment provides that the holding device is formed by a magnet.

Die Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen jeweils einen Schrank mit einem Möbelkorpus 1, der von einer Falzklappe 2 abgedeckt wird. Die Faltklappe 2 besteht aus zwei Teilklappen 3, 4. Die obere Teilklappe 3 ist am Oberboden 5 des Möbelkorpusses 1 mittels Scharnieren befestigt, die untere Teilklappe 4 an der oberen Teilklappe 3. Die untere Teilklappe 4 ist nahe ihrem unteren Rand an Stellarmen 6 von Möbelstellern 7, die an den Möbelseitenwänden 8 montiert sind, angelenkt. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Teilklappen 3, 4 mittels Scharnieren 9 miteinander verbunden.The Fig. 1 to 3 each show a cabinet with a furniture body 1, which is covered by a jaw 2. The folding flap 2 consists of two partial flaps 3, 4. The upper part of the flap 3 is attached to the top 5 of the furniture body 1 by means of hinges, the lower part of the flap 4 at the upper part of the flap 3. The lower part of the flap 4 is hinged near its lower edge on actuating arms 6 of furniture panels 7, which are mounted on the furniture side walls 8. In the illustrated embodiment, the partial flaps 3, 4 are interconnected by means of hinges 9.

Die Scharniere 9 sind in den gezeigten Ausführungsvarianten als Einachsscharniere ausgeführt und weisen in herkömmlicher Weise einen Gelenkteil 10 in der Form eines Scharnierarmes und einen Gelenkteil 11 in der Form eines Scharniertopfes auf. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der scharniertopfartige Gelenkteil 11 in die Teilplatte 3 eingesetzt und der scharnierarmartige Gelenkteil 10 mittels einer Montageplatte 12 an der Teilplatte 4 montiert. Es wäre genauso gut die umgekehrte Anordnung möglich.The hinges 9 are executed in the embodiments shown as Einachsscharniere and have in a conventional manner a hinge part 10 in the form of a hinge arm and a hinge part 11 in the form of a hinge cup. In the embodiment shown, the hinge-cup-like joint part 11 is inserted into the sub-plate 3 and the hinge-arm-like joint part 10 is mounted on the sub-plate 4 by means of a mounting plate 12. It would be just as good the reverse arrangement possible.

Der Gelenkteil 10 ist auf der Montageplatte 12 verschiebbar gelagert, und zwar senkrecht zur Scharnierachse 13. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 6 und 7 lagert im Gelenkteil 10 eine Feder 14, die die kraftausübende Halteeinrichtung bildet. Die Feder 14 stützt sich an der Montageplatte 12 ab und beaufschlagt den Gelenkteil 10 derart, dass die beiden Teilplatten 3, 4 bei geschlossener Faltklappe 2 ihre normale Stellung einnehmen, dh die Fuge 15 zwischen den beiden Teilklappen 3, 4 relativ schmal ist.The hinge part 10 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 12, and perpendicular to the hinge axis 13. In the embodiment of the 6 and 7 stored in the hinge part 10, a spring 14 which forms the force-applying holding device. The spring 14 is supported on the mounting plate 12 and acts on the joint part 10 such that the two sub-panels 3, 4 occupy their normal position with the folding flap 2 closed, ie the joint 15 between the two partial flaps 3, 4 is relatively narrow.

Sollte beim Schließen der Faltklappe 2 jemand mit seinem Finger in die Fuge 15 zwischen die beiden Teilplatten 3, 4 gelangen, dann gibt die Feder 14 nach und die Teilplatte 4 wird von der Teilplatte 3 weggeschoben, d.h. die Fuge 15 wird vergrößert und eine schmerzhafte Klemmung der Finger wird verhindert. Sobald die Fuge 15 wieder freigegeben ist, drückt die Feder 14 den Scharnierarm 10 wieder nach hinten und die Teilplatte 4 zur Teilplatte 3.If, when closing the folding flap 2 someone with his finger in the joint 15 between the two sub-plates 3, 4, then gives the spring 14 and the sub-plate 4 is pushed away from the sub-plate 3, i. the joint 15 is enlarged and a painful clamping of the fingers is prevented. Once the joint 15 is released again, the spring 14 pushes the hinge arm 10 back to the back and the sub-plate 4 to the sub-plate. 3

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 9 und 10 ist der scharnierarmartige Gelenkteil 10 mit einer federbeaufschlagten Rastnase 16 versehen, die, in der normalen Stellung der Teilplatten 3, 4, in einer Vertiefung 17 in der Montageplatte 12 einrastet. Die Rastnase 16 bildet die kraftausübende Halteeinrichtung.In the embodiment of the FIGS. 9 and 10 the hinge arm-like joint part 10 is provided with a spring-loaded locking lug 16 which, in the normal position of the sub-plates 3, 4, engages in a recess 17 in the mounting plate 12. The locking lug 16 forms the force-carrying holding device.

Sollte ein Benützer des Schrankes beim Schließen der Faltklappe 2 mit einem oder mehreren Fingern in die Fuge 15 gelangen, so rastet die federbeaufschlagte Nase 16 aus der Vertiefung 17 aus und der Gelenkteil 10 ist auf der Montageplatte 12 verschiebbar, sodass die Fuge 15 weit genug ist, um den oder die Finger nicht zu klemmen. Anschließend muss die Teilplatte 4 mit der Montageplatte 12 wieder in die in der Fig. 8 gezeigte Position zurückgeschoben werden, woraufhin die federbeaufschlagte Nase 16 wieder einrastet.If a user of the cabinet when closing the folding flap 2 with one or more fingers get into the joint 15, so the spring-loaded nose 16 snaps out of the recess 17 and the hinge part 10 is slidable on the mounting plate 12 so that the joint 15 is wide enough not to pinch the finger (s). Subsequently, the sub-plate 4 with the mounting plate 12 again in the in the Fig. 8 shown position are pushed back, whereupon the spring-loaded nose 16 engages again.

Anstelle der federbeaufschlagten Nase 16 kann als kraftausübende Halteeinrichtung auch ein Magnet vorgesehen sein, wenn die Montageplatte 12 und/oder der Gelenkteil 10 aus magnetisierbarem Material gefertigt sind.Instead of the spring-loaded nose 16 can be provided as a force-carrying holding means and a magnet when the mounting plate 12 and / or the hinge part 10 are made of magnetizable material.

In den Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 11 ist der verschiebbare Gelenkteil 10 immer relativ zu einer Montageplatte 12 verschiebbar gelagert, mit der er andererseits aber auch an der Teilklappe 4 befestigbar ist. Eine mögliche Alternative hierzu wird anhand des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß der Fig. 12 bis 14 erläutert. Hier ist der verschiebbare Gelenkteil 10 über eine Montageplatte 12 auf der Teilplatte 4 fixiert. Verschiebbar gelagert ist er gegenüber einer Montageplatte 12' des zweiten Gelenkteils 11. Dieser ist bei dem gezeigten Beispiel als Scharniertopf ausgebildet, während der verschiebbare Gelenkteil 10 als Scharnierarm ausgeführt ist. In Fig. 12 ist die Normalstellung gezeigt, in der der Scharnierarm 10 mit der Gelenkachse 13 von der Rastfeder 18 gehalten wird bzw. in diese eingerastet ist. Die Rastfeder 18 bildet dabei die kraftausübende Halteeinrichtung, welche hier im zweiten Gelenkteil 11 angeordnet ist. Fig. 13 zeigt die Stellung, bei der die Fuge 15 maximal vergrößert ist. Diese Stellung wird erreicht, wenn ein Gegenstand, wie zum Beispiel ein Finger, beim Schließend er Teilklappen 3 und 4 in die Fuge 15 gerät und dadurch die Haltekraft der Rastfeder 18 überwunden wird. Nach Überwinden der Kraft kann die Schwenkachse 13, mittels derer die beiden Gelenkteile 10 und 11 schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind, in die in Fig. 13 dargestellte zweite Position bewegt werden. Die Bewegung erfolgt entlang einer im zweiten Gelenkteil 11 angeordneten Führungsbahn 19, welche vorzugsweise als Führungsnut ausgebildet sein kann. Die insbesondere im Wesentlichen geradlinige Führungsbahn 19 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel schräg zur Montageplatte 12' des zweiten Gelenkteils 11 verlaufend ausgebildet. Die Scharnierachse 13 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel starr an dem verschiebbaren Gelenkteil 10 angeordnet bzw. mit diesem verbunden.In the embodiments according to the Fig. 1 to 11 the displaceable joint part 10 is always displaceably mounted relative to a mounting plate 12, with which he on the other hand but also on the partial flap 4 can be fastened. A possible alternative to this is based on the embodiment according to the Fig. 12 to 14 explained. Here, the displaceable joint part 10 is fixed on the sub-plate 4 via a mounting plate 12. It is displaceably mounted relative to a mounting plate 12 'of the second joint part 11. This is formed in the example shown as a hinge cup, while the displaceable joint part 10 is designed as a hinge arm. In Fig. 12 the normal position is shown, in which the hinge arm 10 is held with the hinge axis 13 of the detent spring 18 and is engaged in this. The detent spring 18 forms the force-carrying holding device, which is arranged here in the second hinge part 11. Fig. 13 shows the position at which the joint 15 is maximally increased. This position is achieved when an object, such as a finger, when he closes the part flaps 3 and 4 in the joint 15 and thereby the holding force of the detent spring 18 is overcome. After overcoming the force, the pivot axis 13, by means of which the two joint parts 10 and 11 are pivotally connected to each other, in the in Fig. 13 shown second position to be moved. The movement takes place along a guide path 19 arranged in the second joint part 11, which may preferably be designed as a guide groove. The particular substantially rectilinear guide track 19 is formed in the embodiment shown obliquely to the mounting plate 12 'of the second joint part 11 extending. The hinge axis 13 is rigidly arranged in the embodiment shown on the displaceable hinge part 10 and connected thereto.

Ist die so realisierte Fingersicherung einmal ausgelöst worden und befindet sich das Scharnier in der in Fig. 13 dargestellten Stellung, dann reicht es aus, die beiden Teilplatten 3 und 4 so zusammen zu schieben, dass die Achse 13 entlang der Führungsbahn 19 in Richtung der Rastfeder 18 gleitet und in diese wieder einrastet, womit der Ausgangszustand gemäß Fig.12 wieder erreicht ist. Die im Normalbetrieb beim Öffnen und Schließen der Teilklappe auszuführenden Schwenkbewegungen der Teilklappen 3 und 4 um die Gelenkachse 13 sind in Fig. 12 durch den Doppelpfeil 25 angedeutet.Once the finger lock has been released, the hinge is in the Fig. 13 shown position, then it is sufficient to push the two sub-plates 3 and 4 together so that the axis 13 slides along the guide track 19 in the direction of the detent spring 18 and engages in this again, whereby the initial state according to Figure 12 is reached again. The pivoting movements of the partial flaps 3 and 4 around the hinge axis 13 to be executed during normal operation during opening and closing of the partial flap are in Fig. 12 indicated by the double arrow 25.

Zusätzlich können zur Justierung der beiden Teilklappen 3 und 4 im in Fig. 12 dargestellten Schließzustand der Faltklappe noch Verstelleinrichtungen 23 und 24 vorgesehen sein. So kann die Einrichtung 23 wie eine von anderen Scharnieren bekannte Tiefenverstelleinrichtung ausgebildet sein und zur Einstellung der Öffnungsweite der Fuge 15 in der Stellung gemäß Fig. 12 verwendet werden. Die Einrichtung 24 kann analog zu bei Scharnieren an sich bekannten Fugenverstellschrauben ausgebildet sein und dazu dienen, die Fronten 3' und 4' der Teilklappen 3 und 4 so auszurichten, dass sie in der Fig. 12 dargestellten Schließstellung in einer gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet sind.In addition, for adjusting the two partial flaps 3 and 4 in Fig. 12 illustrated closing state of the folding flap still adjusting 23 and 24 may be provided. Thus, the device 23 may be formed like a known from other hinges depth adjustment and adjusting the opening width of the joint 15 in the position according to Fig. 12 be used. The device 24 may be analogous to hinge joints known per se and serve to align the fronts 3 'and 4' of the partial flaps 3 and 4 so that they in the Fig. 12 shown closed position are arranged in a common plane.

Fig. 14 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht auf den als Scharniertopf ausgebildeten zweiten Gelenkteil 11 und die Rastfeder 18, welche an der Montageplatte 12' des zweiten Gelenkteils 11 angeordnet ist. Fig. 14 shows a perspective view of the formed as a hinge cup second hinge part 11 and the detent spring 18, which is arranged on the mounting plate 12 'of the second hinge part 11.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fig. 15 bis 18 zeigt eine Variante, bei der der verschiebbare Gelenkteil 10 sowohl relativ zu einer Montageplatte 12 mit der er an der einen Teilklappe 4 befestigbar ist, als auch relativ zum zweiten Gelenkteil 11, welcher an der anderen Teilklappe 3 befestigt ist, bzw. dessen Montageplatte 12' verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die verschiebbare Lagerung des hier als Scharnierarm ausgebildeten Gelenkteils 10 auf der Montageplatte 12 kann grundsätzlich verschiedenartig ausgeführt sein. So sind unter anderem alle in den Fig. 6 bis 11 gezeigten Varianten möglich. Dargestellt ist in den Fig. 15 bis 18 eine Variante, in der eine Feder 14 zwischen dem verschiebbar gelagerten Gelenkteil 10 und einem auf die Montageplatte 12 aufklipsbaren Zwischenstück 20 angeordnet ist. Die Feder 14 ist dabei an einem Haltevorsprung 21 des Zwischenstücks 20 und einem Haltevorsprung 22 des Gelenkteils 10 abgestützt. Fig. 16 zeigt eine Stellung, bei der die Fuge 15 durch ein Verschieben des Gelenkteils 10 relativ zur Montageplatte 12 bzw. dem daran angeordneten Zwischenstück 20 bei gleichzeitiger Komprimierung der Feder 14 vergrößert ist. Um die Fuge 15 noch weiter vergrößern zu können, ist der verschiebbare Gelenkteil 10 zusätzlich noch relativ zum zweiten Gelenkteil 11 bzw. dessen Montageplatte 12' verschiebbar gelagert. Diese zusätzliche Verschiebbarkeit ist wie im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der Fig. 12 bis 14 realisiert. Fig. 17 zeigt eine Zwischenstellung, bei der die Fuge 15 alleine durch Verschieben der Gelenksachse 13 entlang der Führungsbahn 19 vergrößert worden ist. Fig. 18 zeigt die Stellung bei maximaler Fugenvergrößerung. Dieser ergibt sich aus einer Kombination der Zwischenstellungen gemäß der Fig. 16 und 17. Die Öffnungsweite der Fuge 15 entspricht in Fig. 18 der Summe der Öffnungsweiten in den Fig. 16 und 17.The embodiment according to the 15 to 18 shows a variant in which the displaceable joint part 10 both relative to a mounting plate 12 with which it is fastened to the one flap part 4, and relative to the second hinge part 11 which is fixed to the other part flap 3, or its mounting plate 12 ' is slidably mounted. The displaceable mounting of the hinge part formed here as a hinge part 10 on the mounting plate 12 may be performed basically different. So are among others all in the Fig. 6 to 11 shown variants possible. Shown in the 15 to 18 a variant in which a spring 14 between the displaceably mounted joint part 10 and a clip-on the mounting plate 12 intermediate piece 20 is arranged. The spring 14 is supported on a retaining projection 21 of the intermediate piece 20 and a retaining projection 22 of the joint part 10. Fig. 16 shows a position in which the joint 15 is increased by a displacement of the joint part 10 relative to the mounting plate 12 and the intermediate piece 20 arranged thereon with simultaneous compression of the spring 14. In order to increase the gap 15 even further, the displaceable joint part 10 is additionally slidably mounted relative to the second joint part 11 and its mounting plate 12 '. This additional displacement is as in the embodiment of the Fig. 12 to 14 realized. Fig. 17 shows an intermediate position in which the joint 15 has been increased solely by moving the joint axis 13 along the guide track 19. Fig. 18 shows the position at maximum joint enlargement. This results from a combination of the intermediate positions according to the Fig. 16 and 17 , The opening width of the joint 15 corresponds to Fig. 18 the sum of the opening widths in the Fig. 16 and 17 ,

Aus der Vielzahl der verschiedenen explizit erläuterten Ausführungsvarianten ergibt sich für den Fachmann klar, dass die Erfindung nicht auf diese beschränkt ist. Die verschiedenen Merkmale der Ausführungsvarianten können beliebig miteinander kombiniert werden, was jeweils zu neuen Ausführungsformen führt. So ist es insbesondere möglich die Rastfeder 18 des zweiten Gelenkteils 11 durch eine über den gesamten Verstellweg wirkende Feder analog zur Feder 14 zu ersetzen. Darüber hinaus ist es zum Beispiel auch denkbar zwei, gemäß der jeweiligen Ausführungsbeispiele ausgebildete, Scharnierarme oder Scharniertöpfe über eine Gelenkachse miteinander zu verbinden. Dies würde dann zu symmetrisch ausgebildeten Scharnieren führen. Insbesondere ist vor allem der Begriff einer Montageplatte weit aus zulegen wie die gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele verdeutlichen.From the large number of different explicitly explained embodiments, it will be clear to the person skilled in the art that the invention is not restricted to these. The various features of the embodiments can be combined with each other, which leads to new embodiments. So it is particularly possible to replace the detent spring 18 of the second joint part 11 by a force acting over the entire adjustment spring analogous to the spring 14. In addition, it is also conceivable, for example, to connect two hinge arms or hinge pots formed in accordance with the respective embodiments via a joint axis. This would then lead to symmetrical hinges. In particular, especially the term of a mounting plate is far out to increase as the embodiments shown illustrate.
