Said arrangement comprises at least one damper (2) having a linear damping course, and at least two abutment parts (5, 6) which can be respectively fixed to one of the parts of the furniture, or can be supported thereon in an especially sliding manner . Said abutment parts are interconnected in such a way that they can be pivoted by means of at least one articulated axis (9). The damper (2) is arranged in such a way that the direction (10, 10', 10') of the linear damping course thereof is at an angle to a parallel (37), deviating from a vertical (36), preferably essentially parallel to the articulated axis (9).

Description

The present invention relates to a damper assembly for mutually pivotable furniture parts with at least one damper with linear damping stroke and with at least two fastened to each one of the furniture parts or, in particular slidably, supportable stop members which are pivotally connected to each other via at least one hinge axis.

In generic damper arrangements for pivoting furniture parts results in the prior art is always an undesirable high space requirement by the damper and its housing and by the space required for the damping stroke.

From the GB 2 406 879 A a hinge with relatively pivotable stop members has become known, wherein a closing force is brought about by means of two oblique cam inserts. For damping this closing movement, a linear damper is provided, wherein the piston rod extends axially to the hinge axis of the hinge.

In the earlier, but not pre-published priority WO 2006/088435 A2 is a damping hinge with a linear damper (in particular FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 ), wherein the linear damper is mounted transversely to a main longitudinal axis of the hinge. The linear damper has a pivotable wing, which in the course of the closing movement of the hinge contacts the upper side of the hinge arm ( Fig.1 to Fig. 3 ), whereby the damping process is initiated. Due to the fact that the wing of the damper is contacted by the top of the hinge arm, resulting in a relatively bulky overall construction.

The object of the invention is to reduce this space requirement.

This is inventively achieved by that the damper is arranged so that the direction of its linear damping stroke is arranged at a deviating from a vertical angle to a parallel, preferably substantially parallel to the hinge axis, wherein the stop members pivotable about at least one hinge lever with each other are connected and the damper is acted upon by the toggle lever.

The inventive arrangement of the damper in a way that the direction of its linear damping stroke is not measured along a perpendicular measured against a parallel to the hinge axis, resulting in particular a reduction of the space required for the damping stroke. Preferably, it can be provided that the damper is arranged so that the direction of its linear damping stroke is arranged at an angle of at least 45 °, preferably of at least 60 °, measured against a perpendicular to a parallel to the hinge axis. For optimum space savings, however, it is particularly favorable if the direction of the linear damping stroke is arranged substantially parallel to the joint axis.

It is advantageous to integrate the damper assembly according to the invention in a hinge, preferably furniture hinge. This is achieved, for example, by the stop members and the hinge axis of the damper assembly being parts of a hinge. In this case, the stop members are fastened to each other at the pivotable furniture parts respectively fixable. But they are too Damper assemblies known in which at least one stop member not fastened to the furniture part, but only, in particular sliding, can be supported. It is not hinges in this case, although the formation of the stop members may otherwise be very similar to hinges or furniture hinges. It is particularly often provided that one of the stop parts, such as a hinge cup and / or one of the stop parts, is designed like a hinge arm. This applies to both the hinge-integrated and the hinge-detached damper assemblies.

If a hinge cup is provided as one of the stop members, then the damper can be favorably arranged on this stop member.

Due to the arrangement of the damper according to the invention, it is advantageous to provide a transmission mechanism which transmits the movement of at least one, the stop members pivotally interconnected, articulated lever on the damper during pivoting of the stop members and thus causes the damping stroke. Also, the transmission mechanism may be conveniently arranged on a hinge cup-like stop member.

All embodiments shown are integrated in furniture hinges damper assemblies. The furniture hinges underlying this arrangement are known per se and are not explained in detail. The statements focus on the measures according to the invention. In almost all exemplary embodiments shown, the direction 10 of the damping stroke of the damper 2 is selected to be parallel to a joint axis 9 and thus to all joint axes 9. However, this does not mean that the invention would be limited thereto. Other orientations of the direction 10, 10 ', 10 "of the damping stroke deviating from the perpendicular 36 to a parallel 37 to the joint axles 9 are also possible (cf. Fig. 29 to 31 and 43 ). In the first five embodiments according to the Fig. 1 to 22nd as well as in the last three embodiments according to FIGS. 29 to 42 The damping stroke occurs when the damper 2 is compressed. In this case, the plunger 4 or the piston rod 34 is pressed into the housing 3 of the damper 2. In the sixth embodiment according to the Fig. 23 to 28 In order to reset the restoring springs 33 of the dampers 2, which are standard in the known state of the art dampers 2, are used in all exemplary embodiments in all exemplary embodiments and here only partially explicitly illustrated in the exemplary embodiments. In deviation from the exemplary embodiments shown, however, additionally existing elastic elements or springs can be used to return against the direction 10.

In the first embodiment according to the Fig. 1 to 5b two mutually pivotable transmission lever 11 are pivotally mounted by means of a respective pivot axis 12 in recesses 22 of the hinge cup 6. On one side of the pivot axes 12, the transmission levers 11 respectively engage with the corresponding components 3 and 4 of the damper 2. On the other side with respect to the pivot axes 12, the transmission lever 11 are actuated by the outer hinge lever 8 of the furniture hinge from a dependent on the geometry of the transmission lever 11 closed position. Fig. 1 shows the open position of the hinge. Fig. 2 shows the full closed position, in which the plunger 4 is completely pushed into the housing 3 of the damper 2 after completion of the damping stroke. The inner articulated lever 8 'is known in the prior art as an additional articulated connection between the hinge cup 6 and the hinge arm 5. The hinge arm 5 itself is releasably aufklippsbar on a base plate 7 via a likewise known clip mechanism. The axles 12 of the transmission levers 11 are parallel to a perpendicular to the axis in one direction

Joint axes 9 arranged. In a departure from the embodiment shown, it would also be conceivable, for example, to provide only one pivotably mounted transmission lever 11. This would then actuate one of the damper components 3 and 4, while the other damper component would be held by a rigidly attached to the hinge cup 6 support. The exploded view according to Fig. 4 shows in an exploded view the items particularly clearly. Fig. 5a shows a side view in which the angled section line CC can be seen. The incision created by CC is in Fig. 5 shown for the closed position. The detail marked by a circle Fig. 5 is enlarged again in Fig. 5b shown.

In the second embodiment of the invention according to the Fig. 6 to 9 the traction cable 13 is an essential element of the transmission mechanism. The traction cable 13 is anchored at one end via a fixed point 23 on the pot 13. The other end of the traction cable 13 is attached to the transmission lever 11a. When pivoting the furniture parts 1 from the in Fig. 6 Open position shown in the in Fig. 7 shown closed position of the outer hinge lever 8 is measured from a certain closing angle measured between the two furniture parts 1, the pull cable 13. As a result, the pull cable 13 is pushed further into the recess 14 of the hinge cup 6 with continuous closing movement. As a result, the transmission lever 11a is again acted upon and moved in the direction 10, whereby the plunger 4 is pressed into the housing 3 during the damping stroke. The housing 3 is in this embodiment in a support sleeve 25 fixed, so immovably held on the hinge cup 6. The transmission lever 11a is guided both in the damping and in the counter-stroke in the guide rail 24. As a traction cable 13 correspondingly bendable steel or plastic cables or other materials are used. It is important that the pull cable 13 on the one hand has sufficient deformability to be pressed into the recess 14 of the hinge cup 6, on the other hand to make sure the corresponding damping stroke but no significant change in length of the pull cable 13 take place. The Fig. 8 as well as the enlarged area Fig. 8a show the closing angle between the furniture parts 11, in which the articulated lever 8 begins to actuate the transmission mechanism and thus the traction cable 13, whereby the damping stroke of the damper 2 is initiated. Fig. 9 again shows the individual parts of this Ausführungsbeispietes in an exploded view.

In the embodiment according to the Fig. 10 to 13 a variant of a transmission mechanism is shown in which the transmission lever 11 b attack on the guided supports 26 pincers on the damper 2. The connection between the guided in the guide rails 24 support 26 and the transmission levers 11 b is articulated by means of the axes 27. At their respective other ends are the transmission lever 11 b via an articulated connection 15 with each other and with a sliding lever 16 in operative connection. The damping stroke in direction 10 is triggered at a certain closing angle between the furniture parts 1 at the moment in which the sliding lever 16 strikes the outer articulated lever 8. On further closing towards the in Fig. 11 shown closed position, the toggle lever 8 presses the sliding lever 16 in the direction 35, whereby the transmission lever 11b push the plunger 4 in the direction 10 in the housing 3, whereby the damping stroke is realized. The individual components are also particularly well in the exploded view according to Fig. 13 to see.

In the embodiment according to the FIGS. 14 to 17 forms the rotatably mounted in the receptacles 28 rotary body 17 is an essential part of the transmission mechanism. He far on its surface helical or helical guideways 18, in which the transmission lever 11 c engage by means of the pins 20. The rotation of the rotary body 17 begins as soon as in the course of pivoting the furniture parts 1 in the direction of Fig. 15 shown closed position of the rotational body 17 fixed actuating lever 19 meets the outer hinge lever 8. This angular position is in Fig. 16 and the detail out of it Fig. 16a shown. On further pivoting towards the in Fig. 15 shown closed position, the hinge lever 8 presses the actuating lever 19 in the direction of the hinge cup 6 arranged recess 14. As a result, the rotary body 17 is rotated, whereby the guided in the screw or helical guide tracks 18 transfer lever 11 c in the direction 10 of the damping stroke are moved towards each other , This in turn has the consequence that the plunger 4 is pressed in the course of the damping stroke in the housing 3 of the damper. The provision towards the in Fig. 14 Open position shown again takes place by the here provided in the interior of the damper 2, known in the prior art return spring.

Also in the fifth embodiment according to the FIGS. 18 to 22 is a shift lever 16 'acted upon by the outer link 8 from a certain closed position. He is thereby shifted in the direction of 30. The sliding lever 16 'is connected by inclined guideways 21 the two transmission levers 11 d in operative connection. By moving the shift lever 16 'in the direction 30, the transmission lever 11d supported on the housing via rollers 29 or balls are moved toward one another in directions 31 and 31', which in turn causes the damping stroke, ie the plunger 3 is pushed into the housing 4. In terms of an optimal transmission of forces, the linear or oblique guideways 21 are arranged substantially at a 45 ° angle to the direction of movement 30 of the sliding lever 16 '. Fig. 18 again shows the open position during Fig. 19 the closed position with pushed to each other transmission levers 11 d shows. Fig. 20 shows the beginning of the damping stroke. Fig. 20 shows the circle surrounded by a circle Fig. 20 , Fig. 21 shows a side view and the section line EE. The assigned section is in Fig. 22 shown. Here, the return spring 33 of the known damper 2 can be seen, which during pivoting in the in Fig. 18 shown open position, the transmission lever 11d against the direction 10 of the damping stroke again pushes apart. It should also be noted that the piston rod 34 along the longitudinal extent of the damping stroke takes place, of course, also in parallel or in other embodiments at a corresponding angle to the hinge axis 9 is arranged.

In the next embodiment shows Fig. 23 turn the open position, Fig. 24 the closed position. From the in Fig. 25 and in Fig. 25a shown in detail closing angle of the furniture parts 1 is in continuation of the closing movement in the direction of the situation according to Fig. 24 the sliding lever 16 "is pushed in the direction 13. It presses apart the two transmission levers 11e in the direction of the arrows 30 and 31, whereby the damping stroke is triggered, ie in contrast to the embodiments discussed so far in this variant by pulling the damper components 3 apart and 4. This is in Fig. 27 the average according to Fig. 26 shown piston rod 34 fixed to one of the transmission lever 11 e, while the housing 3 and the cylinder of the damper 2 tensile strength on the other transmission lever 11 e is attached. Also in this embodiment, the transmission lever 11e are supported by guide rollers 29 and balls on the cover housing 32. The guide surfaces 21 'are in turn favorably arranged at a 45 ° angle to the direction of movement 30 of the shift lever 16 "While in the previously discussed figures for the fifth and sixth embodiments, the cover has not been shown to represent the interior of the respective transmission mechanism can shows Fig. 28 the cover housing 32 in an external view, as it represents the user after installation.

In the seventh embodiment according to the Fig. 29 to 31 a variant is shown in which two dampers 2 are arranged so that the direction of your Dämpfungshubes 10 "runs at 60 ° to a vertical line 36 to a parallel 37 to the hinge axis 9. Fig. 29 shows the open position, Fig. 30 the closed position. In Fig. 31 the angular position between the two furniture parts 1 is shown, in which, when the closing movement of the damping stroke of the damper 2 continues. The sliding lever 16 '"is pushed by the outer hinge lever 8 from this closing angle in the direction 30 on inclined guide surfaces 21', which in turn are arranged at an angle of 45 ° to the direction of movement 30, this displacement of the shift lever 16 '" leads to a shift the transmission lever 11f in the directions 31. As a result, the plunger 4 of the damper 2 are inserted into the respective cylinder 3, whereby the damping strokes are triggered in the directions 10 " Fig. 29 to 31 Again, the cover housing 32 is omitted in order to better represent the transmission mechanism. After completion of the damping stroke, the provision is made from the in Fig. 30 shown closed position in the in Fig. 29 illustrated open position by means of the return spring arranged in the damper (not to be seen explicitly here). The damping stroke of the damper 2 is thus completed again in this arrangement upon insertion of the plunger 4 in the respective cylinder 3 of the damper 2 in this arrangement. The transmission levers 11f are favorably supported again displaceably on rails or rollers (not explicitly shown here) or balls on the housing.

The eighth example of the invention is shown in FIGS FIGS. 32 to 37 shown. Fig. 32 shows an intermediate position shortly before the articulated lever 8 on the partially arranged in the interior of the recess of the hinge cup 6 actuating lever 19 'hits, so as to initiate the beginning of the damping stroke. The damper 2 itself and its associated transmission mechanism is in Fig. 32 hidden under the cover housing 32. In Fig. 33 the same position is shown, however, with removed cover housing 32 and omitting the left box-like transmission lever 11g. Fig. 34 shows the open position of the hinge, in which the actuating lever 19 'does not touch the toggle lever 8. Fig. 36 shows the closed position without cover housing 32, but with two housing-like transmission levers 11g. Fig. 35 shows in this position a view from below of the hinge cup 6, wherein the guide plate 39 of the transmission mechanism is removed. Fig. 37 shows an exploded view of all essential parts of the transmission mechanism. When damping stroke is in this embodiment of the Operating lever 19 'from the toggle lever from the in Fig. 32 shown position verschwenKt. The push levers 16 "" are thereby supported on the guide edges 40 of the guide plate 39 and thereby push the respective fixed to the transmission levers 11g inclined guide tracks 21 "to each other to cause the transmission levers 11g directly engaging with the damper 2 to move toward each other, thereby forcing the piston rod 34 into the housing 3 of the damper 2 and performing the damping stroke 16 "" on the inclined abutment surfaces 41 of the guide plate 39. The oblique abutment surfaces 41 thus represent a limitation of the maximum sliding movement of the shift levers 16 "" represents. Is the hinge back into the in Fig. 34 shown moved back position, so leads with relief of the actuating lever 19 'in the damper itself return spring from the return stroke, the transmission lever 11g pushed apart again and thus the shift lever 16 "" against the direction 49 are brought back into their retracted initial position.

In the embodiment according to the Fig. 38 to 42 For example, the transmission mechanism has a gear transmission in the form of an angular gear transmission. This is formed in the example shown by two meshing bevel gears 44 and 46 and the coaxial and rotatably connected to the second bevel gear 46 spur gear 47 and the dental arch 48. The latter is rotatably connected to the fork-shaped pivot lever 42, which in turn is connected via the pin 45 with the housing 3 of the damper 2 in connection. To actuate the gear transmission, an operating lever 19 ", which is arranged at least partially in the interior of the hinge cup 6, is provided, which shortly after closing in FIG Fig. 38 shown position from the toggle lever 8 is applied and pivoted. The resulting rotational movement is transmitted via the common axis 43 to the first bevel gear 44. As a result, the engaged therewith the second bevel gear 46 and the rotatably connected thereto spur gear 47, which in turn engages the dental arch 48 and thus pivots the fork-shaped pivot lever 42 in such a way that from pressing the supported on the cover housing 32 piston rod 34 in the Housing 3 and thus a damping stroke of the damper 2 results. In the in Fig. 40 shown closed position of the hinge is reached the end of the damping stroke. Fig. 41 shows the almost completely inserted in this position in the housing 3 piston rod 34 of the damper second When the hinge is opened, the return stroke is in turn initiated via a return spring arranged in the damper 2 itself, not visible here. At the end of the return stroke, the damper is again in the Fig. 39 position shown.

In all embodiments, it is avoided that the housing 3 and / or the plunger 4 and / or the piston rod 34 of the damper 2 perform a rotational movement during the damping stroke and / or the return stroke. In the case of old embodiments, it is ensured both during the damping stroke and during the return stroke that the parts mentioned move exclusively in a translatory or linear manner. This avoids wear of the components of the damper 2 by rotating the components against each other. Conveniently, it is also provided in this sense in most embodiments, that at least one, preferably all, on the housing and / or on a plunger and / or on a piston rod of the damper directly attacking (attacking) transmission lever at Dämpfungshub and / or the return stroke of the damper performs an exclusively translative or linear movement.

Fig. 43 shows once again the angle ranges according to the invention of the directions 10, 10 ', 10 "of the damping stroke in relation to the course of the joint axis 9. Except all directions parallel to the perpendicular 36 to a parallel 37 to the hinge axis 9. Preferred are the angular ranges α1 with at least 45th ° or α2 with at least 60 ° to the vertical 36. The maximum space savings is achieved in directions 10 of the damping stroke parallel to the hinge axis 9.
