Description

Ausstoßer eines bewegbaren Möbelteils Ejector of a movable furniture part
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ausstoßen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils aus einer geschlossenen Endlage in oder an einem Möbelkorpus, mit einem Ausstoßer, der einen motorisch angetriebenen Ausstoßhebel aufweist.The present invention relates to a device for ejecting a movable furniture part from a closed end position in or on a furniture body, with an ejector having a motor-driven ejection lever.
Derartige Vorrichtungen bestanden bisher im Wesentlichen nur aus einem Ausstoßer, dessen motorisch angetriebener Ausstoßhebel in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils lose an diesem anliegt. Damit sind derartige Vorrichtungen nur beschränkt in Verbindung mit bewegbaren Möbelteilen anwendbar, welche derart in oder am Möbelkorpus gelagert sind, dass das bewegbare Möbelteil nur in einem sehr geringen Ausmaß oder gar nicht in den Möbelkorpus hineinragt. Beispiele für derartige Möbelteile sind Möbeltüren und Möbelklappen sowie Schubladen, deren Tiefe wesentlich kleiner ist als die Tiefe des Möbelkorpus.Such devices consisted so far essentially only from a pusher, the motor-driven ejection lever in the closed end position of the movable furniture part loosely applied to this. Thus, such devices are only limited applicable in conjunction with movable furniture parts, which are stored in or on the furniture body, that the movable furniture part protrudes only to a very small extent or not at all in the furniture body. Examples of such furniture parts are furniture doors and furniture flaps and drawers whose depth is much smaller than the depth of the furniture body.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass sich ihr Anwendungsbereich vergrößert.The object of the invention is therefore to further develop a generic device such that its scope is increased.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit dem Merkmal des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device having the feature of claim 1.
Durch das Vorsehen einer mit dem Ausstoßhebel zusammenwirkenden Kraftübertragungseinrichtung kann die vom Ausstoßhebel während des Ausstoßvorganges ausgeübte Kraft über den Abstand zwischen dem bewegbaren Möbelteil und dem Ausstoßhebel hinweg auf das bewegbare Möbelteil übertragen werden. Eine Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 eignet sich somit auch zum Ausstoßen von Möbeltüren und Möbelklappen sowie Schubladen, deren Tiefe wesentlich geringer ist als die Tiefe des Möbelkorpus.By providing a force transmitting means cooperating with the ejection lever, the force exerted by the ejection lever during the ejecting operation can be transmitted to the movable furniture member through the distance between the movable furniture member and the ejection lever. A device according to claim 1 is thus also suitable for ejecting furniture doors and furniture flaps and drawers, the depth of which is substantially less than the depth of the furniture body.
Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung nur ein Ausstoßen des bewegbaren Möbelteils aus der geschlossenen Endlage bewirken soll. Vorzugsweise ist daher die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung derart ausgebildet, dass nur die vom Ausstoßhebel in Ausstoßrichtung (im Montagezustand der Vorrichtung vom Möbelkorpus weg) ausgeübte Kraft auf das bewegbare Möbelteil übertragbar ist.It is preferably provided that the device should only cause ejection of the movable furniture part from the closed end position. Preferably, therefore, the power transmission device is designed such that only the force exerted by the ejection lever in the ejection direction (in the assembled state of the device away from the furniture body) force is transferable to the movable furniture part.
Diese Maßnahme lässt sich entweder dadurch erreichen, dass die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung einen Anschlag aufweist, an welchem der Ausstoßhebel in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils lose anliegt. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung einen Stößel aufweist, der in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils lose am bewegbaren Möbelteil anliegt.This measure can be achieved either by virtue of the fact that the power transmission device has a stop on which the ejection lever rests loosely in the closed end position of the movable furniture part. Additionally or alternatively, it may be provided that the force transmission device has a plunger, which rests loosely on the movable furniture part in the closed end position of the movable furniture part.
In diesem Zusammenhang sind Maßnahmen zu treffen, um den Stößel nach Beendigung des Ausstoßvorganges wieder zurückzubewegen. Dies kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Stößel durch einen Kraftspeicher, vorzugsweise Feder, in Richtung des Ausstoßhebels (also im Montagezustand der Vorrichtung in den Möbelkorpus hinein) vorgespannt ist.In this context, measures must be taken to move back the plunger after completion of the ejection process. This can be achieved in that the plunger is biased by a force storage, preferably spring, in the direction of the ejection lever (ie in the assembled state of the device in the furniture body).
Um eine sichere Führung des Stößels zu gewährleisten kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung ein Gehäuse aufweist, in welchem der Stößel in einem Kanal geführt ist.In order to ensure a secure guidance of the plunger can be provided that the power transmission device comprises a housing in which the plunger is guided in a channel.
Eine besonders einfache Bauweise ergibt sich, wenn vorgesehen ist, dass der Anschlag am Stößel befestigt oder ausgebildet ist und vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig vom Stößel absteht.A particularly simple design results if it is provided that the stop is attached or formed on the plunger and preferably projects substantially at right angles from the plunger.
Soll die Kraftübertragung vom Ausstoßhebel auf das bewegbare Möbelteil nicht nur entlang einer Geraden erfolgen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn vorgesehen ist, dass der Stößel derart flexibel ausgebildet ist, dass er in einem gekrümmten Gehäuse geführt werden kann.If the power transmission from the ejection lever to the movable furniture part is not to take place only along a straight line, it is advantageous if it is provided that the plunger is designed so flexible that it can be guided in a curved housing.
Vorzugsweise ist der Ausstoßhebel des Ausstoßers begrenzt schwenkbar ausgebildet und bewegt sich während des Ausstoßvorganges von der einen Endstellung der Schwenkbewegung zur anderen Endstellung der Schwenkbewegung. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist vor allem dann von großer Bedeutung, wenn der Ausstoßer derart im Möbelkorpus angeordnet ist, dass der Ausstoßhebel während der gesamten Schwenkbewegung vom bewegbaren Möbelteil beabstandet bleibt. Die Erfindung ist allerdings auch bei Ausführungen anwendbar, bei denen der Ausstoßer derart im Möbelkorpus angeordnet ist, dass er nach Zurücklegen einer Teilstrecke der gesamten Strecke am bewegbaren Möbelteil zur Anlage kommen würde. In diesem Fall kann durch die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung bewirkt werden, dass die gesamte Schwenkbewegung des Ausstoßhebels zum Ausstoßen des bewegbaren Möbelteils genutzt wird. Je nach Masse des bewegbaren Möbelteils und je nach Größe der Ausstoßkraft kann es vorkommen, dass sich das bewegbare Möbelteil nach Beendigung des Ausstoßvorganges immer noch im Wirkungsbereich einer Einzugsautomatik (zum Beispiel mit Selbstschließfunktion) befindet. In diesem Fall ist eine gewisse Haltezeit vorzusehen, während der ein Benutzer in den entstandenen Spalt zwischen Möbelkorpus und dem bewegbaren Möbelteil eingreifen und das bewegbare Möbelteil händisch öffnen kann. Erst nach Ablauf der Wartezeit bewegen sich der Ausstoßhebel und die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurück.Preferably, the ejection lever of the ejector is formed limited pivotally and moves during the ejection process of the one end position of the pivoting movement to the other end position of the pivoting movement. The device according to the invention is especially of great importance when the ejector is arranged in the furniture body, that the ejection lever remains spaced apart from the movable furniture part during the entire pivoting movement. However, the invention is also applicable to embodiments in which the ejector is arranged in such a way in the furniture body, that it would come to rest after covering a part of the entire distance on the movable furniture part. In this case, it can be caused by the power transmission device, that the entire pivoting movement of the ejection lever is used for ejecting the movable furniture part. Depending on the mass of the movable furniture part and depending on the size of the ejection force, it may happen that the movable furniture part after completion of the ejection process is still within the range of an automatic retraction (for example, with self-closing function). In this case, a certain holding time is provided during which a user can intervene in the resulting gap between the furniture body and the movable furniture part and can open the movable furniture part by hand. Only after expiry of the waiting time, the ejection lever and the power transmission move back to their original position.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist ein vorzugsweise verstellbarer Tiefenanschlag für die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung vorgesehen. Über einen derartigen Tiefenanschlag können Toleranzen beim Einbau und in der Fertigung ausgeglichen werden. Außerdem wird sichergestellt, dass im Falle einer Touch-Latch-Funktionalität stets ein ausreichender Auslöseweg für den motorisch angetriebenen Ausstoßhebel zur Verfügung steht und dass die Frontblenden des Möbels gleichmäßig schließen.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a preferably adjustable depth stop for the power transmission device is provided. About such a depth stop tolerances during installation and in production can be compensated. In addition, it ensures that in the case of a touch-latch functionality, a sufficient triggering path for the motor-driven ejection lever is always available and that the front panels of the furniture close evenly.
Bei der Touch-Latch-Funktionalität ist vorgesehen, dass ein Hineindrücken des bewegbaren Möbelteils durch den Benutzer in dessen geschlossener Endlage im bzw. am Möbelkorpus durch eine Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung des Ausstoßers erfasst wird. Das Eindrücken kann sich über die Kraftübertragungsvorrichtung auf den Ausstoßhebel übertragen und durch eine die Lage des Ausstoßhebels überwachende Messeinrichtung (zum Beispiel Drehpotentiometer) detektiert werden. Ein Ausstoßer mit einer derartigen Funktionalität ist beispielsweise im österreichischen Patent AT 413 472 B offenbart (siehe insbesondere Seite 4, Absätze 3 bis 7; Seite 7, Absätze 4 und 5; Seite 8, Absatz 6 sowie die darin bezeichneten Figuren), sodass eine nähere Beschreibung an dieser Stelle entfallen kann.In the touch-latch functionality is provided that a pushing of the movable furniture part by the user in its closed end position in or on the furniture body is detected by a control or regulating device of the ejector. The impressions can be transmitted to the ejection lever via the power transmission device and detected by a measuring device (eg rotary potentiometer) monitoring the position of the ejection lever. An ejector having such a functionality is disclosed, for example, in Austrian patent AT 413 472 B (see in particular page 4, paragraphs 3 to 7, page 7, paragraphs 4 and 5, page 8, paragraph 6 and the figures therein), so that a closer Description can be omitted here.
In seiner einfachsten Form umfasst der Tiefenanschlag einen Federpuffer.

In Fig. 1a ist der Aufbau eines Ausführungsbeispieles einer Kraftübertragungseinrichtung dargestellt. Erkennbar ist ein Gehäuse 7, in welchem ein Stößel 5 in einem Kanal 19 geführt ist. Der Stößel 5 ist teilweise aus dem Gehäuse 7 herausbewegbar und ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel einstückig mit einem Anschlag 4 verbunden. Das Gehäuse 7 setzt sich, wie insbesondere in Fig. 1b erkennbar ist, aus einer Grundplatte T und einem Deckel 7" zusammen. Der Deckel 7" weist einen Schlitz 12 auf, welcher das Verfahren des am Stößel 5 angeordneten Anschlages 4 gestattet. Der Stößel 5 und damit der Anschlag 4 sind durch einen Kraftspeicher 6 (hier Schraubenfeder) derart kraftbeaufschlagt, dass der Kraftspeicher 6 versucht, den Stößel 5 in das Gehäuse 7 zurückzubewegen. Der Kraftspeicher 6 ist einerseits an einem Lagerelement 13 gelagert und andererseits mit dem Stößel 5 verbunden. Der Stößel 5 weist dabei an seinem rückwärtigen Ende eine Ausnehmung 14 zur Aufnahme eines Endes des Kraftspeichers 6 auf.In Fig. 1a, the structure of an embodiment of a power transmission device is shown. Visible is a housing 7, in which a plunger 5 is guided in a channel 19. The plunger 5 is partially moved out of the housing 7 and is integrally connected in this embodiment with a stop 4. As can be seen in particular in Fig. 1b, the housing 7 is composed of a base plate T and a cover 7 "The cover 7" has a slot 12 which permits the movement of the stop 4 arranged on the plunger 5. The plunger 5 and thus the stop 4 are subjected to such a force by an energy store 6 (here coil spring) that the energy accumulator 6 tries to move the plunger 5 back into the housing 7. The energy accumulator 6 is supported on the one hand on a bearing element 13 and on the other hand connected to the plunger 5. The plunger 5 has at its rear end a recess 14 for receiving one end of the energy accumulator 6.
Fig. 2a zeigt den Möbelkorpus 8 eines Möbels bei entferntem bewegbaren Möbelteil 9. Erkennbar ist die Anordnung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1 an einer Rückenwand 15 im Möbelkorpus 8. Im in Fig. 2a dargestellten Zustand würde sich das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 (dargestellt sind nur die Scharniere 17) in seiner geschlossenen Endlage am Möbelkorpus 8 befinden. Wie erkennbar ist, befindet sich der Stößel 5 vollständig im Gehäuse 7 und der Anschlag 4 befindet sich in seiner rückwärtigen Stellung, in welcher er am Ausstoßhebel 3 eines Ausstoßers 2 anliegt.Recognizable is the arrangement of a device 1 according to the invention on a back wall 15 in the furniture body 8. In the state shown in Fig. 2a, the movable furniture part 9 (shown are only the hinges 17) are in its closed end position on the furniture body 8. As can be seen, the plunger 5 is completely in the housing 7 and the stopper 4 is in its rearward position, in which it rests against the ejection lever 3 of an ejector 2.
Fig. 2b zeigt die Situation bei ausgestoßenem (in Fig. 2b nicht dargestellten) bewegbarenFig. 2b shows the situation when ejected (not shown in Fig. 2b) movable
Möbelteil 9. Der Stößel 5 hat sich maximal aus dem Gehäuse 7 herausbewegt, was durch das Zusammenwirken des Ausstoßhebels 3 mit dem Anschlag 4 bewirkt wurde. Wie aus den Fig. 2a und 2b in Zusammenschau erkennbar ist, ist der Ausstoßhebel 3 begrenzt schwenkbar gelagert, wobei die Ausstoßbewegung von der in Fig. 2a dargestellten Schwenklage zu der in Fig. 2b dargestellten Schwenklage erfolgt.Furniture part 9. The plunger 5 has moved out of the housing 7 maximum, which was caused by the interaction of the ejection lever 3 with the stop 4. As can be seen from FIGS. 2a and 2b together, the ejection lever 3 is limited pivotally mounted, wherein the ejection movement takes place from the pivot position shown in Fig. 2a to the pivot position shown in Fig. 2b.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht des Möbels mit Möbelkorpus 8 und nunmehr dargestelltem bewegbaren Möbelteil 9 (hier ist das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 als Möbeltüre ausgebildet). Erkennbar ist insbesondere auch die Anordnung der Trennwand 11 im Möbelkorpus 8, welche als Sichtblende zum Verdecken des dahinter angeordneten Ausstoßers 2 dient. Diese Trennwand 11 wurde in den Fig. 2a und 2b nicht dargestellt.Fig. 3 shows a view of the furniture with furniture body 8 and now illustrated movable furniture part 9 (here, the movable furniture part 9 is designed as a furniture door). Also recognizable is the arrangement of the partition 11 in the furniture body 8, which serves as a screen for covering the ejector 2 arranged behind it. This partition 11 was not shown in Figs. 2a and 2b.
Fig. 4 zeigt die Rückansicht zu Fig. 3, wobei die Anordnung des Ausstoßers 2 hinter der Trennwand 11 bei entfernter Rückwand 15 erkennbar ist. Die Trennwand 11 weist natürlich eine Ausnehmung auf, durch welche das Gehäuse 7 hindurchtreten kann.Fig. 4 shows the rear view of Fig. 3, wherein the arrangement of the ejector 2 behind the partition wall 11 with the rear wall 15 is removed recognizable. Of course, the partition wall 11 has a recess through which the housing 7 can pass.
Die Fig. 5a und 5b zeigen die Befestigungsart des Ausstoßers 2 an einem Träger 10, welcher seitlich eine Aufnahme 16 für die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung aufweist.FIGS. 5a and 5b show the mounting of the ejector 2 on a carrier 10, which has a receptacle 16 for the power transmission device at the side.
Fig. 6a zeigt das Möbel bei vollständig aufgestoßenem bewegbarem Möbelteil 9. Das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 wurde dabei um ca. 10 ° geöffnet (dies entspricht einer Öffnung über den Selbstschließbereich der Scharniere 17 hinweg). Nach dem Rückziehen des Stößels 5 in das Gehäuse 7 hinein, würde daher das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 in dieser Stellung verbleiben, bis es von einem Benutzer entweder geöffnet oder geschlossen wird. In Fig. 6a ist weiters erkennbar, dass der Möbelkorpus 8 im Bodenbereich mit einem Abdeckboden 18 versehen ist, welcher dazu dient, das Gehäuse 7 der Kraftübertragungseinrichtung zu verdecken. Dieser Abdeckboden 18 wurde aus Gründen der besseren Erkennbarkeit der Vorrichtung 1 in den vorigen Figuren nicht dargestellt.6a shows the furniture when the movable furniture part 9 has been pushed open completely. The movable furniture part 9 has been opened by about 10 ° (this corresponds to an opening over the self-closing area of the hinges 17). After retracting the plunger 5 into the housing 7, therefore, the movable furniture part 9 would remain in this position until it is either opened or closed by a user. In Fig. 6a is further recognizable that the furniture body 8 is provided in the bottom area with a cover plate 18, which serves to cover the housing 7 of the power transmission device. This cover plate 18 has not been shown for reasons of better recognizability of the device 1 in the previous figures.
Fig. 7 zeigt ein weiteres Möbel mit einem Möbelkorpus 8 und einem in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als Hochfaltklappe ausgebildeten bewegbaren Möbelteil 9. Das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 wurde dabei in der in Fig. 7 dargestellten Lage bereits von einem Benutzer weiter vom Möbelkorpus 8 wegbewegt. Der Stößel 5 wurde noch nicht in das Gehäuse 7 zurückbewegt. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel stößt die Vorrichtung 1 das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 nicht über den Selbstschließbereich der Scharniere 17 hinaus. Es ist daher eine gewisse Wartezeit vorgesehen, bevor der Stößel 5 in das Gehäuse 7 zurückverfahren wird. In Fig. 8 ist erkennbar, dass in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel zwei erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtungen 1 vorgesehen sind, welche beidseitig am Möbelkorpus 8 montiert sind.7 shows a further piece of furniture with a furniture body 8 and a movable furniture part 9 designed as a folded-up flap in this embodiment. The movable furniture part 9 has already been moved further away from the furniture body 8 by a user in the position shown in FIG. The plunger 5 has not yet moved back into the housing 7. In this embodiment, the device 1 does not push the movable furniture part 9 beyond the self-closing area of the hinges 17. It is therefore provided a certain waiting time before the plunger 5 is moved back into the housing 7. In Fig. 8 it can be seen that in this embodiment two devices 1 according to the invention are provided, which are mounted on both sides of the furniture body 8.
Fig. 9 zeigt eine Situation entsprechend der Fig. 7 und 8. Der Ausstoßhebel 3 des Ausstoßers 2 ist daher maximal verschwenkt und hat den Anschlag 4 der Kraftübertragungseinrichtung maximal verschoben. Hierdurch wurde der Stößel 5 maximal aus dem Gehäuse 7 herausbewegt. Das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 wurde von einem Benutzer weiter geöffnet.Fig. 9 shows a situation corresponding to Figs. 7 and 8. The ejection lever 3 of the ejector 2 is therefore pivoted to a maximum and has the stop 4 of the power transmission device shifted maximum. As a result, the plunger 5 was moved out of the housing 7 maximum. The movable furniture part 9 has been opened by a user on.
Die Fig. 10a bis 10e zeigen beispielhaft einen vollständigen Bewegungsablauf an dem in den Fig. 7 bis 9 dargestellten Möbel. Erkennbar ist insbesondere in Fig. 10b, dass in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Ausstoßhebel 3 des Ausstoßers 2 in der geschlossenen Endlage des bewegbaren Möbelteils 9 noch nicht am Anschlag 4 der Kraftübertragungseinrichtung anliegt.FIGS. 10a to 10e show by way of example a complete movement sequence on the furniture shown in FIGS. 7 to 9. It can be seen in particular in Fig. 10b, that in this embodiment, the ejection lever 3 of the ejector 2 in the closed end position of the movable furniture part 9 is not yet applied to the stop 4 of the power transmission device.
Die Fig. 10e zeigt das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 in seiner vollständig geöffneten Endlage.Fig. 10e shows the movable furniture part 9 in its fully open end position.
Fig. 11a zeigt einen als Spülenschrank ausgebildeten Möbelkorpus 8, in welchem zwei als Schubladen ausgebildete Möbelteile 9 bewegbar gelagert sind. In Bezug auf das untere bewegbare Möbelteil 9 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 1 vorgesehen (siehe Fig. 11 b).Fig. 11a shows a designed as a sink cabinet furniture body 8, in which two designed as a drawer furniture parts 9 are movably mounted. With respect to the lower movable furniture part 9, a device 1 according to the invention is provided (see FIG. 11 b).
Aus Fig. 11b geht hervor, dass die Kraftübertragung vom Ausstoßhebel 3 auf das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nicht entlang einer Geraden, sondern mit einem seitlichen Versatz erfolgt. So kann die Vorrichtung 1 seitlich des Rohres 20 montiert werden und trotzdem zentral die Ausstoßkraft auf das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 aufbringen. Hierfür ist der Stößel 5 (in Fig. 11a und 11b nicht erkennbar) derart flexibel ausgebildet, dass er im teilweise gekrümmt ausgebildeten Gehäuse 7 geführt werden kann.From Fig. 11b shows that the power transmission from the ejection lever 3 to the movable furniture part 9 in this embodiment is not along a straight line, but with a lateral offset. Thus, the device 1 can be mounted laterally of the tube 20 and still centrally apply the ejection force to the movable furniture part 9. For this purpose, the plunger 5 (not visible in FIGS. 11 a and 11 b) is designed so flexibly that it can be guided in the partially curved housing 7.
Die Fig. 12a bis 12e zeigen einen Möbelkorpus 8 mit abschnittsweise als Wabenplatten 21 ausgebildeten Seitenwänden (nur eine Seitenwand ist dargestellt). In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Ausstoßer 2 sowie ein Großteil der Kraftübertragungseinrichtung hinter einer Trennwand 11 angeordnet. Der Stößel 5 zur Übertragung der Kraft vom Ausstoßhebel 3 auf das bewegbare Möbelteil 9 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in einer Ausnehmung der Seitenwand bzw. in dem als Wabenplatte 21 ausgebildeten Abschnitt in der Seitenwand selbst angeordnet. Dabei ist es nicht notwendig, den Stößel 5 über seine gesamte Länge zu führen. Eine Führung ist nur durch das Gehäuse 7 in der Nähe des Ausstoßers 2 selbst vorgesehen und wird auch durch die im vorderen Bereich der Wabenplatte 21 angeordnete Bohrung erreicht, durch welche der Stößel 5 aus der Seitenwand heraustritt.FIGS. 12a to 12e show a furniture carcass 8 with side walls formed in sections as honeycomb panels 21 (only one side wall is shown). In this embodiment, the ejector 2 and a large part of the power transmission device is arranged behind a partition 11. The plunger 5 for transmitting the power from the ejection lever 3 on the movable furniture part 9 is in this embodiment in a recess of the side wall or in the form of a honeycomb plate 21 in section the side wall arranged itself. It is not necessary to guide the plunger 5 over its entire length. A guide is provided only by the housing 7 in the vicinity of the ejector 2 itself and is also achieved by the arranged in the front region of the honeycomb plate 21 bore through which the plunger 5 emerges from the side wall.
In Fig. 12e erkennbar und im Detail in den Fig. 13a bis 13 d dargestellt, ist ein Tiefenanschlag 22 für die Kraftübertragungseinrichtung, welcher in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel einen Federpuffer 23 (am relativ zum Anschlag 4 stationären Teil des Gehäuses 7 angeordnet) und ein verstellbares Anschlagselement 24 (hier: Madenschraube), welches am Anschlag 4 angeordnet ist, aufweist. Der Überstand des verstellbaren Anschlagselements 24 lässt sich in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Kantschlüssel verändern. Hierdurch lässt sich die Anschlagtiefe einstellen.In Fig. 12e recognizable and shown in detail in Figs. 13a to 13d, a depth stop 22 for the power transmission device, which in this embodiment, a spring buffer 23 (arranged at the stop 4 stationary part of the housing 7) and an adjustable stop element 24 (here: grub screw), which is arranged on the stop 4, has. The supernatant of the adjustable stop element 24 can be changed in this embodiment by a square wrench. This makes it possible to adjust the stop depth.
Obwohl die Figuren nur eine Ausführung eines bewegbaren Möbelteils 9 als Möbeltüre, Hochfaltklappe oder Schublade zeigen, wäre es auch denkbar, die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung bei Hochschwenkklappen oder Hochklappklappen oder dergleichen einzusetzen.Although the figures show only one embodiment of a movable furniture part 9 as a furniture door, fold-up flap or drawer, it would also be conceivable to use the device according to the invention in high-pivoting flaps or lift-up flaps or the like.
Die Auslösung der in den Figuren dargestellten Ausstoßer 2 erfolgt durch am Möbelkorpus 8 oder am bewegbaren Möbelteil 9 angeordnete Tastelemente, welche in den Figuren nicht dargestellt sind. Ebenso wurden andere dem Fachmann geläufige Maßnahmen, wie elektrische Versorgungsleitungen und dergleichen nicht dargestellt. The triggering of the ejector 2 shown in the figures is carried out by the furniture body 8 or on the movable furniture part 9 arranged sensing elements, which are not shown in the figures. Likewise, other measures known in the art, such as electrical supply lines and the like were not shown.
