Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Klappenhalter für eine verschwenkbar an einem Möbelkorpus angeordnete, durch Hochschwenken zu öffnende Klappe, mit einem korpusseitigen Beschlagteil und einem klappenseitigen Beschlagteil, die über eine Hebelanordnung miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Hebelanordnung wenigstens einen Schwenkhebel aufweist, der eine Federanordnung mit mehreren parallel geschalteten Federeinrichtungen enthält, die an wenigstens einem Hebelende auf wenigstens eine Steuereinrichtung wirken.The invention relates to a flap holder for a pivotably arranged on a furniture body, can be opened by swiveling flap, with a body-side fitting part and a flap-side fitting part, which are connected to each other via a lever arrangement, wherein the lever arrangement has at least one pivot lever having a spring arrangement with a plurality of parallel includes switched spring means which act on at least one lever end on at least one control device.

Ein derartiger Klappenhalter ist aus der DE 100 19 337 A1 bekannt, wobei hier ein um eine Anlenkachse schwenkbar mit der Klappe verbindbares klappenseitiges Armteil und ein um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar mit einem am Möbelkorpus zu befestigenden Beschlagteil verbundenes korpusseitiges Armteil vorgesehen ist. An beiden Enden des korpusseitigen Armteils befinden sich Steuereinrichtungen, die jeweils ein Druckstück und eine Steuerkurve enthalten. Druckstück und Steuerkurve werden mittels einer Federeinrichtung gegeneinandergehalten. Eine der Federeinrichtungen wird durch zwei parallel geschaltete, ineinandergestellte Federn gebildet. Die Steuereinrichtung dient dazu, eine Kraft in Öffnungsrichtung oder eine Kraft in Schließrichtung der Klappe auszuüben, so dass beispielsweise im ersten Fall die Klappe leichter geöffnet werden kann oder gegebenenfalls in beliebiger Offenstellung stehen bleibt.Such a flap holder is from the DE 100 19 337 A1 known, in which case a pivotable about an articulation axis with the flap connectable flap-side arm part and a pivotable about a pivot axis with a furniture body to be attached to the fitting part associated body side arm part is provided. 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. One of the spring devices is formed by two parallel, nested springs. 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.

Bei höherem Klappengewicht muss daher die über die Steuereinrichtung aufgebrachte Kraft in Öffnungsrichtung erhöht werden. Dies ist durch Erhöhung der Federkraft möglich. Hierzu können die Federn parallelgeschaltet werden. Eine Parallelschaltung wirkt sich jedoch auf die Baugröße des Klappenhalters aus.With a higher flap weight, therefore, the force applied via the control device in the opening direction must be increased. This is possible by increasing the spring force. For this purpose, the springs can be connected in parallel. However, a parallel connection affects the size of the damper holder.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Klappenhalter der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Baugröße des Klappenhalters trotz Parallelschaltung von mehreren Federn relativ gering ist.The object of the invention is to provide a flap holder of the type mentioned, in which the size of the damper holder despite parallel connection of several springs is relatively low.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Klappenhalter mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen dargestellt.This object is achieved by a flap holder with the features of independent claim 1. Further developments of the invention are shown in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Klappenhalter zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Federeinrichtungen in Hebellängsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet sind.The flap holder according to the invention is characterized in that the spring devices are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the lever.

Obwohl die Federeinrichtungen parallel geschaltet sind, sind diese räumlich hintereinander angeordnet, sodass eine Durchmesservergrößerung des Schwenkhebels nicht notwendig ist. Es können also mit herkömmlich dimensionierten Klappenhaltern größere Federkräfte zur Verfügung gestellt werden.Although the spring devices are connected in parallel, these are arranged spatially one behind the other, so that an increase in diameter of the pivot lever is not necessary. It can therefore be provided with conventionally sized damper holders greater spring forces.

Bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind den Federeinrichtungen zwei jeweils in Hebellängsrichtung eine Längsgestalt aufweisende Federlagerteile zugeordnet. Diese weisen jeweils in Hebellängsrichtung verteilt angeordnete, quer zur Hebellängsrichtung stehende Quervorsprünge auf, wobei die Quervorsprünge der beiderseitigen Federlagerteile in Hebellängsrichtung alternierend hintereinander angeordnet sind und sich die Federeinrichtungen einenends an einem der Quervorsprünge des einen Federlagerteils und andernends an einem der Quervorsprünge des anderen Federlagerteils abstützen. Wenigstens eines der Federlagerteile kann beweglich gelagert sein und ein auf die zugeordnete Steuereinrichtung wirkendes Druckstück bilden. Es ist möglich, dass eines der beiden Federlagerteile beweglich gelagert ist, während das andere unbeweglich, also hebelfest befestigt ist. Diese Variante ist insbesondere dann sinnvoll, falls nur an einem Hebelende eine Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen ist und demzufolge nur ein einziges auf die Steuereinrichtung wirkendes Druckstück vorgesehen ist.In a further development of the invention, the spring devices are assigned two spring bearing parts each having a longitudinal shape in the longitudinal direction of the lever. These have distributed in each case in the longitudinal direction of the lever arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the lever transverse projections, wherein the transverse projections the mutual spring bearing parts in the lever longitudinal direction are arranged alternately one behind the other and the spring devices are supported at one end on one of the transverse projections of a spring bearing part and the other end on one of the transverse projections of the other spring bearing part. At least one of the spring bearing parts may be movably mounted and form a pressure piece acting on the associated control device. It is possible that one of the two spring bearing parts is movably mounted, while the other is fixed immovably, so that it is fixed to the lever. This variant is particularly useful if a control device is provided only at one end of the lever and consequently only a single pressure piece acting on the control device is provided.

Alternativ ist es jedoch auch möglich, dass an beiden Hebelenden eine Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen ist, wobei in diesem Fall dann beide Federlagerteile als beweglich gelagerte Druckstücke vorgesehen sind, wobei eines der beiden Druckstücke auf die eine Steuereinrichtung und das andere Druckstück auf die andere Steuereinrichtung wirkt.Alternatively, however, it is also possible that a control device is provided at both ends of the lever, in which case both spring bearing parts are provided as movably mounted pressure pieces, wherein one of the two pressure pieces acts on the one control device and the other pressure piece on the other control device.

Die Steuereinrichtung kann von einer Steuerkurve und einem mittels des Druckstücks auf die Steuerkurve gedrückte Kraftübertragungsrolle gebildet werden. Alternativ wäre es möglich, anstatt der Kombination Steuerkurve und Kraftübertragungsrolle einen Lenkhebel bzw. eine Schubstange zu verwenden.The control device can be formed by a control cam and a force transmission roller pressed by means of the pressure piece on the control cam. Alternatively, it would be possible to use a steering lever or a push rod instead of the combination control cam and power roller.

Es sind also mehrere Varianten denkbar, beispielsweise an nur einem Hebelende des Schwenkhebels eine Steuereinrichtung vorzusehen, die entweder eine Steuerkurve mit Kraftübertragungsrolle oder einen Lenkhebel enthält. Alternativ ist es möglich, an beiden Hebelenden des Schwenkhebels jeweils eine Steuereinrichtung vorzusehen, die entweder dann beidseitig als Steuerkurve mit Kraftübertragungsrolle oder alternativ als Schubstange bzw. Lenkhebel vorgesehen sein kann. Prinzipiell wäre auch eine Kombination möglich, die einenends eine Steuereinrichtung mit Steuerkurve und Kraftübertragungsrolle und andernends eine Steuereinrichtung mit einem Lenkhebel bzw. einer Schubstange vorsieht.So there are several variants conceivable, for example, to provide only one lever end of the pivot lever, a control device which contains either a control cam with a power roller or a steering lever. Alternatively, it is possible to provide a control device on both lever ends of the pivot lever, which is then either on both sides can be provided as a control cam with power roller or alternatively as a push rod or steering lever. In principle, a combination would also be possible, which at one end provides a control device with a control cam and a power transmission roller and at the other end a control device with a steering lever or a push rod.

Die Federeinrichtungen können als Druck- oder alternativ als Zugfedereinrichtungen ausgebildet sein. Die Federeinrichtungen können von Schraubenfedern gebildet werden. Prinzipiell wäre es jedoch auch möglich, andere federelastisch wirkende Bauteile zu verwenden, beispielsweise federelastisch wirkende Gummibauteile.The spring devices can be designed as pressure or alternatively as tension spring devices. The spring devices can be formed by coil springs. In principle, however, it would also be possible to use other resiliently acting components, such as elastically elastic rubber components.

Der Klappenhalter 11 besitzt ein korpusseitiges Beschlagteil 14 und ein klappenseitiges Beschlagteil, die über eine Hebelanordnung 16 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Hebelanordnung 16 wenigstens einen Schwenkhebel 17 aufweist. Das korpusseitige Beschlagteil 14 ist ortfest am Möbelkorpus, insbesondere an einer Seitenwand eines Fachs angeordnet. Die Hebelanordnung 16 ist kniehebelartig ausgebildet, wobei der Schwenkhebel 17 im Falle einer einteiligen Klappe gelenkig mit einem weiteren klappenseitigen Schwenkhebel verbunden ist, der seinerseits schwenkbar mit dem klappenseitigen Beschlagteil verbunden ist. Im Falle einer Faltklappe ist der Schwenkhebel 17 einenends schwenkbar mit dem korpusseitigen Beschlagteil 14 und andernends mit dem klappenseitigen Beschlagteil verbunden, wobei der Kniehebel hier durch den Schwenkhebel 17 und ein schwenkbar mit diesem verbundenes Klappenteil der Faltklappe gebildet ist.The flap holder 11 has a body-side fitting part 14 and a flap-side fitting part, which are connected to each other via a lever assembly 16, wherein the lever assembly 16 has at least one pivot lever 17. The body-side fitting part 14 is fixed to the furniture body, in particular arranged on a side wall of a compartment. The lever assembly 16 is formed like a toggle, wherein the pivot lever 17 hinged in the case of a one-piece flap is connected to a further flap-side pivot lever, which in turn is pivotally connected to the flap-side fitting part. In the case of a folding flap, the pivot lever 17 is pivotally connected at one end to the body-side fitting part 14 and the other end to the flap-side fitting part, wherein the toggle lever is formed here by the pivot lever 17 and a pivotally connected thereto flap part of the folding flap.

Der Schwenkhebel 17 enthält eine Federanordnung 18 mit mehreren parallel geschalteten Federeinrichtungen 19, die an wenigstens einem Hebelende 20a, 20b auf wenigstens eine Steuereinrichtung 21 wirken. Die Federeinrichtungen 19 sind parallel geschaltet, wodurch die Federkraft erhöht wird. Trotz Parallelschaltung sind die Federeinrichtungen 19 räumlich in Hebellängsrichtung 22 hintereinander angeordnet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Schwenkhebel 17 im Durchmesser nicht größer zu dimensionieren ist, will man die Federkraft durch Parallelschaltung von Federeinrichtungen 19 erhöhen. Insgesamt erfolgt hier also eine Bauraumoptimierung und demzufolge eine Kostenersparnis.The pivot lever 17 includes a spring assembly 18 having a plurality of spring devices 19 connected in parallel, which act on at least one control device 21 on at least one lever end 20a, 20b. The spring means 19 are connected in parallel, whereby the spring force is increased. Despite parallel connection, the spring devices 19 are arranged spatially in the longitudinal direction of the lever 22 in succession. This has the advantage that the pivot lever 17 is not to be dimensioned larger in diameter, if you want to increase the spring force by parallel connection of spring devices 19. Overall, so here is a space optimization and consequently a cost savings.

Den Federeinrichtungen 19 sind zwei Federlagerteile 23a, 23b zugeordnet, die jeweils einen sich in Hebellängsrichtung 22 erstreckenden teilzylindrischen Basisabschnitt 24a, 24b aufweisen und quer zur Hebellängsrichtung 22 stehende Quervorsprünge in form von scheibenartigen Querwänden 25 besitzt. Die Querwände 25 der beiderseitigen Federlagerteile 23a, 23b sind in Hebellängsrichtung 22 alternierend hintereinander angeordnet, wobei sich die Federeinrichtungen 19 jeweils einenends an einem der Querwände 25 des einen Federlagerteils 23a und andernends an einem der Querwände 25 des anderen Federlagerteils 23b abstützen. Die Federlagerteile 23a, 23b mitsamt den Federeinrichtungen 19 können als vormontierbare Baugruppe vormontiert und dann in den Schwenkhebel 17 integriert werden.The spring means 19 are associated with two spring bearing parts 23a, 23b, each having a extending in the lever longitudinal direction 22 part cylindrical base portion 24a, 24b and transverse to the lever longitudinal direction 22 standing transverse projections in the form of disc-like transverse walls 25 has. The transverse walls 25 of the mutual spring bearing parts 23a, 23b are arranged alternately one behind the other in the lever longitudinal direction 22, the spring devices 19 each being supported at one of the transverse walls 25 of one spring bearing part 23a and at the other end on one of the transverse walls 25 of the other spring bearing part 23b. The spring bearing parts 23a, 23b together with the spring devices 19 can be used as a preassembled subassembly preassembled and then integrated into the pivot lever 17.

Gemäß dem in Figur 1 gezeigten ersten Ausführungsbeispiel sind an beiden Hebelenden 20a, 20b Steuereinrichtungen 21 vorgesehen. Dementsprechend sind beide Federlagerteile 23a, 23b beweglich gelagert und bilden ein auf die zugeordnete Steuereinrichtung 21 wirkendes Druckstück. Die Federkraft der Federeinrichtungen 19 wird also über das Druckstück auf die Steuereinrichtung 21 übertragen. Die Steuereinrichtung 21 steuert die Klappenbewegung und sorgt im Zusammenspiel mit den Federeinrichtungen 19, dass eine das Öffnen der Klappe 13 unterstützende Öffnungskraft erzeugt wird, die gegebenenfalls so groß ist, dass die Klappe 13 in jeder beliebigen Öffnungsstellung stehen bleibt.According to the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, control devices 21 are provided on both lever ends 20a, 20b. Accordingly, both spring bearing parts 23a, 23b are movably mounted and form an acting on the associated control device 21 pressure piece. The spring force of the spring means 19 is thus transmitted via the pressure piece to the control device 21. The control device 21 controls the flap movement and, in conjunction with the spring devices 19, that an opening force of the opening of the flap 13 is generated, which is possibly so large that the flap 13 stops in any open position.

Die beiden Steuereinrichtungen 21 gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel werden jeweils von einer Steuerkurve 26 und einer durch das jeweilige Druckstück auf die Steuerkurve 26 gedrückte Kraftübertragungsrolle 27 gebildet. Die Federeinrichtungen 19 sind gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel als Druckfedereinrichtungen ausgebildet. Ferner sind die Federeinrichtungen 19 durch Schraubenfedern gebildet.The two control devices 21 according to the first embodiment are each formed by a control cam 26 and a pressed by the respective pressure piece on the control cam 26 power transmission roller 27. The spring means 19 are formed according to the first embodiment as a compression spring means. Further, the spring means 19 are formed by coil springs.

Zur Einstellung der Federkraft der Federeinrichtungen 19 ist eine Vorspannungseinheit 28 (Figur 1) vorgesehen, die axial zur Hebellängsrichtung 22 verstellbar gelagert ist. Als Vorspannungseinheit 28 kann beispielsweise eine Mutter vorgesehen sein, die auf einer Gewindestange oder Schraube verschraubbar geführt ist, wobei die Gewindestange oder Schraube ihrerseits mit einem der beiden Federlagerteilen 23a, 23b verbunden ist, sodass durch wahlweise Verschrauben der Mutter in Richtung des Federlagerteils 23a oder in Richtung weg vom Federlagerteil 23a eine Spannung oder Entspannung der Federeinrichtungen 19 erfolgen kann.To adjust the spring force of the spring devices 19, a biasing unit 28 (FIG. 1) is provided, which is mounted so as to be adjustable axially relative to the lever longitudinal direction 22. As a bias unit 28, for example, a nut may be provided which is screwed on a threaded rod or screw, wherein the threaded rod or screw in turn is connected to one of the two spring bearing parts 23 a, 23 b, so by selectively screwing the nut in the direction of the spring bearing part 23 a or in Direction away from Spring bearing part 23 a tension or relaxation of the spring means 19 can take place.

Die Figur 3 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Klappenhalters 11, das sich vom ersten Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch unterscheidet, dass die Federeinrichtungen 19 als Zugfedereinrichtungen ausgebildet sind. Auch hier sind die Zugfedern als Schraubenfedern ausgebildet, die jeweils einenends mittels einer Einhängelasche oder -öse mit der Querwand 25 des einen Federlagerteils 23a verbunden sind und andernends ebenfalls über eine Einhängelasche mit der Querwand 25 des anderen Federlagerteils verbunden sind. Ein weiterer Unterschied gegenüber dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist, dass hier lediglich an einem Hebelende 20a eine Steuereinrichtung 21 vorgesehen ist. Dies hat zur Folge, dass eines der beiden Federlagerteile 23a als auf die Steuereinrichtung 21 wirkendes Druckstück ausgebildet ist, während das andere Federlagerteil 23b schwenkhebelfest befestigt ist. Die Steuereinrichtung kann wiederum von einer Steuerkurve 26 und einer auf die Steuerkurve 26 mittels des Druckstücks gedrückten Kraftübertragungsrolle 27 gebildet sein.FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment of the flap holder 11 according to the invention, which differs from the first exemplary embodiment in that the spring devices 19 are designed as tension spring devices. Again, the tension springs are designed as coil springs, which are connected at one end by means of a Einhängelasche or -öse with the transverse wall 25 of a spring bearing part 23a and the other end are also connected via a Einhängelasche with the transverse wall 25 of the other spring bearing part. Another difference from the first embodiment is that only one lever end 20a, a control device 21 is provided here. As a result, one of the two spring bearing parts 23a is designed as a pressure piece acting on the control device 21, while the other spring bearing part 23b is fastened in a pivot lever manner. The control device may in turn be formed by a control cam 26 and a force-transmitting roller 27 pressed onto the control cam 26 by means of the pressure element.

Die Figur 4 zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Klappenhalters 11, das sich vom ersten Ausführungsbeispiel dadurch unterscheidet, dass an beiden Hebelenden 20a, 20b Steuereinrichtungen 21 mit Schubstangen 29 vorgesehen sind. Die Schubstangen 29 sind jeweils einenends schwenkbar mit einem der beiden Federlagerteile 23a, 23b verbunden und andernends schwenkbar am Möbelkorpus 12 oder an der Klappe bzw. bei zweiarmigen Hebelanordnungen 16 am klappenseitigen Schwenkhebel verbunden.FIG. 4 shows a third exemplary embodiment of the flap holder 11 according to the invention, which differs from the first exemplary embodiment in that control devices 21 with push rods 29 are provided on both lever ends 20a, 20b. The push rods 29 are each pivotally connected at one end to one of the two spring bearing parts 23a, 23b and the other end pivotally connected to the furniture body 12 or on the flap or two-arm lever assemblies 16 on the flap-side pivot lever.

In Figur 5 ist ein viertes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Klappenhalters 11 dargestellt. Der Klappenhalter 11 ist hier beispielhaft in Zusammenhang mit einer Faltklappe 13 gezeigt, die ein oberes Klappenteil 31 und ein unteres Klappenteil 32 aufweist, die über eine Scharnierachse 33 gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. Die Scharnierachse 33 ist üblicherweise von zwei jeweils an einem der beiden seitlichen Endbereiche der Klappe 13 angeordneten Scharnieren 34 gebildet. Das Scharnier 34 kann ein am oberen Klappenteil 31 zu befestigendes oberes Scharnierteil und ein am unteren Klappenteil 32 zu befestigendes unteres Scharnierteil aufweisen, die mittels eines die Scharnierachse 33 bildenden Scharnierstiftes oder dergleichen aneinander angelenkt sind. die beiden Scharnierteile können an der dem Schrankfach zugewandten Innenseite der Klappenteile 31, 32 befestigt sein.FIG. 5 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of the flap holder 11 according to the invention. The flap holder 11 is shown here by way of example in connection with a folding flap 13, which has an upper flap part 31 and a lower flap part 32, which are connected to each other in an articulated manner via a hinge axis 33. The hinge axis 33 is usually formed by two each arranged on one of the two lateral end portions of the flap 13 hinges 34. The hinge 34 may have an upper hinge part to be fastened to the upper flap part 31 and a lower hinge part to be fastened to the lower flap part 32, which are hinged to one another by means of a hinge pin or the like forming the hinge axis 33. the two hinge parts can be fastened to the inside of the flap parts 31, 32 facing the cabinet compartment.

Das vierte Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Abwandlung des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels mit dem Unterschied hierzu, dass lediglich am korpusseitigen Hebelende 20b des Schwenkhebels 17 eine Steuereinrichtung 21 mit Steuerkurve 26 vorgesehen ist.The fourth embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment with the difference that only on the body side lever end 20b of the pivot lever 17, a control device 21 is provided with control cam 26.
