Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flap holder for a furniture flap, which is adjustable between a closing a cabinet compartment in a furniture body closing position and an upwardly moved open position, wherein the furniture flap is divided into two and is formed by an upper flap part and a lower flap part hinged to a hinge axis are connected to each other so that they are coplanar with each other in the closed position and perform in the open position opposing pivotal movements by the upper flap part away from the cabinet and the lower flap part pivots from its coplanar to the upper flap part position about the hinge axis towards the cabinet compartment, with at least one toggle lever assembly, with two toggle parts, which are hinged together on the one hand and on the other hand with the furniture body or with the upper flap part, wherein the toggle lever assembly is associated with a spring device, the assembled Klap Penhalter on the upper flap part when opening a force in the opening direction exerts.
  • Such fitting devices are used for cabinet compartments, which are either located in the upper part of a cabinet or are formed by a height-hanging overhead cabinet. If you move the furniture flap upwards, the relevant compartment will be accessible.
  • the furniture flap foldable due to its bipartite, so that the furniture flap in the open position does not project overall but only with its upper flap part upwards, while the lower flap part is folded back so to speak to the cabinet body.
  • the fitting device contains a guide device to be fastened on the cabinet side, in which a guide element connected to the lower end region of the lower flap part runs.
  • This guide device extends in the mounted state on the inside of the respective side wall of the furniture body in the vertical direction.
  • the two lateral end regions of the furniture flap are each guided by means of such a guide device, so that in each case a guide device is arranged on both side walls of the furniture body.
  • a flap holder of the type mentioned is completely dispensed with leadership institutions.
  • the lower flap part is connected in the assembled state only with the upper flap part, so it is otherwise free.
  • the handle can be arbitrary be located far below the lower flap part.
  • the width of the lower flap part can be arbitrarily smaller than ever since.
  • the flap holder used in conjunction with one-piece flaps.
  • the flap holder has a toggle lever arrangement, with a hinged about an articulation axis pivotally connected to the flap flap-side arm and a pivotable about a pivot axis connected to a furniture body to be fastened fitting part body side arm.
  • control means At both ends of the body-side arm part are control means, each containing a pressure piece and a control cam. Pressure element and control cam are held against each other by means of a spring device.
  • the control device serves to exert a force in the opening direction or a force in the closing direction of the flap, so that, for example, in the first case, the flap can be opened more easily or optionally remains in any open position.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a flap holder of the type mentioned, which is simple and allows a stable connection of a two-piece furniture flap to the furniture body.
  • the flap holder according to the invention is characterized in that at least one control lever is provided for controlling the pivoting position of the lower flap part with respect to the upper flap part, on the one hand pivotable about a first pivot axis on the furniture body and on the other a second pivot axis is pivotally fastened to the lower flap part.
  • control lever is a support of the lower flap part, so that it can no longer pivot freely about the hinge axis. This prevents that the lower flap part hangs freely in its open position and thus can inadvertently swing around in particular by manual application.
  • flap holder according to the invention is that already used in connection with one-piece flaps knee lever assemblies, such as those from the DE 100 19 337 A1 are known, can now be used for two-piece furniture flaps.
  • the first pivot axis is arranged in the closed position of the furniture flap above the second pivot axis.
  • the control lever extends obliquely forwardly below in the closed position of the furniture flap.
  • the control lever is aligned in the closed position of the furniture flap substantially parallel to the furniture flap.
  • the body-side pivot axes or articulation points of the body-side toggle lever part or of the control lever can be varied in their position on the cabinet body. An adaptation to different cabinet compartment geometries is therefore possible. It is possible that the body-side pivot point of the toggle lever assembly and the body-side pivot point of the control lever coincide.
  • the lever device associated with the spring device is designed such that in the closed position a clamping force is exerted on the furniture flap. It is therefore possible that the spring device on the upper flap part in the closed position a Locking force and when opening after overcoming a Totpunklage exerts a force in the opening direction. In principle, however, it would also be possible to design the spring device in such a way that it exerts no locking force, but the locking force in the closed position is achieved by corresponding design of the hinge between the upper flap part and the furniture body.
  • control lever is associated with a further spring device, which in addition to the spring device on the toggle lever arrangement in the closed position exerts a locking force and / or when opening a force in the opening direction.
  • the further spring device can thus support the knee lever side spring device when opening by means of an additional force in the opening direction.
  • the further or control lever-side spring device may be designed such that it exerts a locking force in the closed position and supports the opening of the furniture flap after overcoming a dead center.
  • the knee lever-side spring device in the closed position exerts a locking force and when opening an opening force and the other, control lever side spring device also in the closed position exerting a clamping force and opening force exerts an opening force.
  • the two spring devices can thus support each other in the locking force and the force in the opening direction.
  • the knee lever-side spring device exerts a force in the opening direction only when opening, while in the closed position the locking force is taken over by the control lever-side spring device.
