Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for returning a movable device part in a specific position, for example, for position feedback of a sliding door member in a predetermined closed position.
- a sliding door element ie the sliding sliding door wing
- fixed fitting parts as a second device part in a very specific closed position
- the side door element edges flush with other Schiebetelementrändem or furniture or building walls. If the user pushes the sliding door element inaccurately or releases it before completion of the movement with a residual swing, which is not designed precisely for the residual movement to the desired position, such a position feedback device can make a corresponding Postionsjustage.
- Such position feedback devices are known in connection with sliding doors, for example from the WO 2006/056606 .
- a device for damping the movement of a sliding door element is shown before reaching an end position of the moving distance, in which a loaded on train coil spring pulls the sliding door element in the end position.
- the invention has for its object to provide a position feedback device with extended applications.
- the invention relates to a device for position feedback of a displaceable in two mutually opposite directions driver in a desired position with: the slidable driver, two opposing one-way reset clutches and two elastic elements, each via a respective one of the reset clutches with the driver are connected, wherein each return clutch in a displacement of the driver from the desired position in a respective direction of the driver to a respective one of the elastic elements so coupled that the driver is subjected to the displacement movement by the elastic member in the direction of the desired position, and at a Displacement of the driver in the other direction does not make a coupling between the driver and this elastic element, so that the driver in displacements in both directions in each case by a respective one of the elastic elements in the direction is subjected to force to the desired position and released from the other elastic element,
- the position feedback device accordingly operates in two directions and can return the displaceable driver or a further element coupled thereto, for example a sliding door element, in the direction from the desired position (or vice versa a device part with the position feedback device relative to move a fixed reference point, which is coupled to the driver).
- a further element for example a sliding door element
- not only two elastic elements are provided, each of which has the task of providing the force necessary for the return in one of the two directions.
- two corresponding counter-rotating one-way reset clutches are provided, each of which produces or releases a coupling between the driver and a corresponding elastic element (in this sense "one-way” clutches) depending on the direction.
- the driver is thus coupled to a deflection in a certain direction by one of the two return couplings to one of the elastic elements, while the other return clutch releases the driver.
- the invention offers the advantage of being able to individually provide the elastic element for the particular direction.
- it can be designed individually as desired.
- it could be connected in one direction with equal deflection distances with greater restoring forces than in the other direction or also show a direction-dependent individual force-distance relationship.
- the possibility can be used to bias elastic elements. This has the advantage that with small deflections as a result of the bias already significant restoring forces occur. Namely, if the provision takes place only over a single elastic element, for example one that is claimed in one direction to compression and in the other direction to elongation, so are the restoring forces in the environment of the non-linear force-displacement relationships Target position small. Accordingly uncertain or inaccurate is the position determination.
- elastic element is generally for components that provide a restoring force for returning to the desired position after a certain Kraftweg context. It is not only in the classical sense of the linear force path context “elastic" elements come into consideration. Preferred are elastic elements made of elastomers (such as elastics), gas springs and especially coil springs and other classic metal springs.
- coil springs are claimed to train and, preferably also already biased to train.
- the invention is basically directed to Positons Wegtechnisch Kunststoffvorraumen with at least two directions, but preferably to those with exactly two directions that are opposite to each other.
- the invention relates to directions in the straight linear sense and accordingly also directions of movement in the sense of a longitudinal displacement. In the most general sense is here of directions but also in the sense of directions of rotation and correspondingly opposite rotational movements the speech.
- Slidably guided carriages may be provided on the return coupling-side ends of the elastic members which may form part of these couplings.
- the reset clutches can advantageously be configured with a one-sided system, ie by two elements abut each other in the one relative direction of movement and can be solved in the other relative direction of movement, for example by engagement of a pin in a recess open on one side.
- the position feedback device according to the invention can be used for a wide variety of device parts, but is preferably directed to sliding door systems. Also conceivable are applications such as worktops z. As table tops, or other movable furniture parts. In this context, as already mentioned, damping devices are known.
- the position feedback device according to the invention is also advantageous to combine with a damper. For this purpose, the corresponding ends of the damper on the one hand to couple with the driver of the position feedback device and on the other hand with the two ends of the elastic elements, which are not coupled to the driver. Of course, more than one damper, especially two dampers, can be used.
- a clutch (hereinafter referred to as a damping clutch) may be used, which can establish and release a frictional connection between a corresponding device part (the two relatively moving parts of the device) and one end of the damper.
- This damping clutch is in the present Not to be confused with the reset clutches.
- a sliding door damping in the vicinity of a middle (as opposed to end position) position, in particular a sliding door damping can be effected and this damping can be combined again with the feedback function according to the invention.
- disengagement of the damping clutch is not compulsory (because the working range of the one or more dampers could correspond to the total travel distance) but is preferred.
- an embodiment of the damping clutch is also preferred in the present context with a sliding along a sliding distance and releasing in angled end pieces of the sliding distance slider.
- a fork-like design of the slider for interaction with a stop element is preferred, wherein the fork-like shape engages the stop element in a movement along the sliding distance, but releases in said end pieces by the fork shape is tilted accordingly.
- a fixed connection of the driver already mentioned more often with the damping coupling part is preferred, which remains connected to the damper when releasing the damping clutch, ie in particular with the slider.
- a one-piece design can be particularly useful.
- the driver may, for example, represent an extension of the slider beyond an internal tilt axis.
- the internal tilting axis is intended to describe the rotational component of the movement of the slide in the angled end pieces, so that the driver is tilted in opposite directions.
- a practical and simple embodiment of the one-way photosetzkupplungen may consist in a pin-receiving mechanism between the already mentioned slide at the end of the elastic members and the driver, as the embodiment illustrated.
- a flat round pin can engage in an approximately U-shaped and thus unilaterally open depression.
- sliding door elements can be advantageously mounted with the position feedback device according to the invention, particularly but not only in combination with the damping device. Accordingly, the invention is also directed to a sliding door fitting with these elements or at least with the Posifions Weg lecturvorraum. In this way, the functional properties of the sliding door system in the sense of position determination and feedback and possibly the damping change advantageously, so that the sliding door system as a whole is the subject of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows in the first detail representation 1a a symbolically represented wall 1 with a stop element 2, here in the form of a simple pin.
- a stop element 2 here in the form of a simple pin.
- this pin mounted in a mounting rail of a sliding door system, cf. for example in the EP 2 333 218
- This has two counter-rotating pneumatic linear damper 3 and 4, to which reference is made to the cited WO document.
- a sliding gate guide 5 with a driver 6.
- This is connected to the ends of the piston rods of the damper 3 and 4 and in a straight Sliding guide track longitudinally movable between a in FIG. 1 a shown and an opposite position in the Figure 1d and e is almost reached.
- This driver 6 has recesses into which carriages 7 and 8 can engage. These slides 7 and 8 are in turn displaceable in straight slide sliding guides, but each only half (and in each case a different) the length of the guide of the driver 6 amount, as indicated in the drawing.
- This assembly can be imagined accordingly mounted on a sliding door element. It therefore moves with the sliding door element.
- FIG. 1 a is a vertical bar 9 is located below the stop element 2, which is only symbolic of a damping clutch which interacts indirectly with the driver 6. This is based on FIG. 2 explained in more detail. Incidentally, reference is made to the operation of the damping coupling in addition to the frequently cited EP document and there specifically to the figure 5.
- the pin 2 is located above the carriage 7 and the coupling 9 (not shown here for simplification) is already coupled to the carriage 7.
- a tension coil spring 10 stretched between the carriage 7 and a distal end point of the damper 4 pulls the carriage 7 and thus the driver 6 and thus the sliding door element relative to the pin 2.
- the coupling 9 engages in a reference FIG. 2 yet to explain, as soon as the pin 2, the position of the carriage 7 and the driver 6 far left (in FIG. 1 a) reached.
- the second sheet with the Figures 1h to k illustrates a reverse process, here a deflection from the center position to the right, in which the user pushes the sliding door member against the force of the spring 10 and the damping force.
- the damping clutch 9 releases and the sliding door member is released, as k shows.
- FIG. 2 With the individual representations A to F, the middle part of the device according to the invention is explained in more detail, in a concrete representation.
- the same reference numbers are entered as in FIG. 1 , It can be seen a plastic body 5 of the assembly, the slide sliding guides for here specifically illustrated slide 7 and 8 and the driver 6 therebetween recognizable. Furthermore, this plastic body 5 has a sliding gate guide for the fork-shaped slide 9 as part of the damping coupling.
- FIG. 2e shows how the driver 9, the slider 6 and the carriage 7 are moved to the left front from the center position and while the spring 10 is stretched in addition to its tensile prestress.
- FIG. 2f shows how the slider 9, the driver 6 and the carriage 8 are deflected to the right rear and while the spring 11 is stretched.
- This embodiment of the return couplings 12, 13 has the particular advantage of being particularly easy to manufacture and at the same time insensitive to the tilting movements at the ends of the moving distance.
- the round pins can turn easily in the receptacles with the round contact surfaces.
- the tilting movements arise because the slider 9 and the driver 6 are a unitary component, the central region is guided in the plastic body 5 and in the kinking ends of the moving distance (in conjunction with the desired tilting movement of the fork of the slider 9) is rotated altogether.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Rückführen eines beweglichen Vorrichtungsteils in eine bestimmte Position, beispielsweise zur Positionsrückführung eines Schiebetürelements in eine vorgegebene Schließposition.The present invention relates to a device for returning a movable device part in a specific position, for example, for position feedback of a sliding door member in a predetermined closed position.
Wenn Vorrichtungsteile relativ zueinander beweglich sind, kann es gewünscht sein, durch eine passende Vorrichtung dafür zu sorgen, dass eine bestimmte Relativposition in bestimmten Situationen automatisch eingenommen wird. Zum Beispiel kann es gewünscht sein, ein Schiebetürelement, also den verschieblichen Schiebetürflügel, relativ zu fest angebrachten Beschlagteilen als zweitem Vorrichtungsteil in eine ganz bestimmte Schließposition, in der seitliche Türelementränder bündig mit anderen Schiebetürelementrändem oder Möbel- bzw. Gebäudewänden abschließen, zu positionieren. Wenn der Benutzer das Schiebetürelement nur ungenau zuschiebt oder vor Abschluss der Bewegung mit einem Restschwung loslässt, der nicht genau für die Restbewegung in die gewünschte Position ausgelegt ist, kann eine solche Positionsrückführvorrichtung eine entsprechende Postionsjustage vornehmen.If device parts are movable relative to one another, it may be desirable to ensure, by means of a suitable device, that a certain relative position is automatically assumed in certain situations. For example, it may be desirable to position a sliding door element, ie the sliding sliding door wing, relative to fixed fitting parts as a second device part in a very specific closed position, in the side door element edges flush with other Schiebetürelementrändem or furniture or building walls. If the user pushes the sliding door element inaccurately or releases it before completion of the movement with a residual swing, which is not designed precisely for the residual movement to the desired position, such a position feedback device can make a corresponding Postionsjustage.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Positionsrückführvorrichtung mit erweiterten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a position feedback device with extended applications.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Vorrichtung zur Positionsrückführung eines in zwei zueinander entgegengesetzten Richtungen verschiebbaren Mitnehmers in eine Sollposition mit: dem verschiebbaren Mitnehmer, zwei gegenläufigen Einwege-Rückstellkupplungen und zwei elastischen Elementen, die jeweils über eine jeweilige der Rückstellkupplungen mit dem Mitnehmer verbunden sind, wobei jede Rückstellkupplung bei einer Verschiebung des Mitnehmers aus der Sollposition in einer jeweiligen Richtung den Mitnehmer an ein jeweiliges der elastischen Elemente so koppelt, dass der Mitnehmer in der Verschiebebewegung durch das elastische Element in Richtung zu der Sollposition kraftbeaufschlagt ist, und bei einer Verschiebung des Mitnehmers in der anderen Richtung keine Kopplung zwischen dem Mitnehmer und diesem elastischen Element herstellt, so dass der Mitnehmer bei Verschiebungen in beiden Richtungen jeweils von einem jeweiligen der elastischen Elemente in Richtung zu der Sollposition kraftbeaufschlagt und von dem jeweils anderen elastischen Element freigegeben ist,To solve this problem, the invention relates to a device for position feedback of a displaceable in two mutually opposite directions driver in a desired position with: the slidable driver, two opposing one-way reset clutches and two elastic elements, each via a respective one of the reset clutches with the driver are connected, wherein each return clutch in a displacement of the driver from the desired position in a respective direction of the driver to a respective one of the elastic elements so coupled that the driver is subjected to the displacement movement by the elastic member in the direction of the desired position, and at a Displacement of the driver in the other direction does not make a coupling between the driver and this elastic element, so that the driver in displacements in both directions in each case by a respective one of the elastic elements in the direction is subjected to force to the desired position and released from the other elastic element,
sowie auf einen entsprechend ausgestatteten Schiebetürenbeschlag und eine entsprechend montierte Schiebetür und eine entsprechende Verwendung der Positionsrückführvorrichtung.and to a correspondingly equipped sliding door fitting and a correspondingly mounted sliding door and a corresponding use of the position feedback device.
Die erfindungsgemäße Positionsrückführvorrichtung arbeitet demgemäß In zwei Richtungen und kann den verschiebbaren Mitnehmer bzw. ein mit diesem gekoppeltes weiteres Element, zum Beispiel ein Schiebetürelement, dementsprechend bei Verschiebungen in beiden Richtungen aus der Sollposition heraus in dieselbe zurückführen (oder umgekehrt ein Vorrichtungsteil mit der Positionsrückführvorrichtung relativ zu einem festen Bezugspunkt bewegen, der mit dem Mitnehmer gekoppelt ist). Dazu sind nicht nur zwei elastische Elemente vorgesehen, die jeweils die Aufgabe haben, in einer der beiden Richtungen die für das Rückführen notwendige Kraft bereitzustellen. Zudem sind zwei entsprechend gegenläufige Einwege-Rückstellkupplungen vorgesehen, von denen jede richtungsabhängig eine Kopplung zwischen dem Mitnehmer und einem entsprechenden elastischen Element herstellt bzw. freigibt (in diesem Sinn "Einwege"-Kupplungen). Damit wird der Mitnehmer also bei einer Auslenkung in eine bestimmte Richtung durch eine der beiden Rückstellkupplungen an eines der elastischen Elemente gekoppelt, während die andere Rückstellkupplung den Mitnehmer freigibt.The position feedback device according to the invention accordingly operates in two directions and can return the displaceable driver or a further element coupled thereto, for example a sliding door element, in the direction from the desired position (or vice versa a device part with the position feedback device relative to move a fixed reference point, which is coupled to the driver). For this purpose, not only two elastic elements are provided, each of which has the task of providing the force necessary for the return in one of the two directions. In addition, two corresponding counter-rotating one-way reset clutches are provided, each of which produces or releases a coupling between the driver and a corresponding elastic element (in this sense "one-way" clutches) depending on the direction. Thus, the driver is thus coupled to a deflection in a certain direction by one of the two return couplings to one of the elastic elements, while the other return clutch releases the driver.
Wenn hier von zwei Rückstellkupplungen die Rede ist, bedeutet dies nicht zwingend, dass diese baulich völlig getrennt ausgeführt sein müssen. Sie können durchaus auch gemeinsame Bauteile aufweisen; wesentlich ist die geschilderte richtungsabhängige Freigabe bzw. Kopplung.If this is the case of two return couplings, this does not necessarily mean that they must be structurally completely separate. You can also have common components; essential is the described directional release or coupling.
Dementsprechend bietet die Erfindung den Vorteil, das elastische Element für die bestimmte Richtung individuell vorsehen zu können. Damit kann es nach Wunsch individuell ausgelegt werden. Zum Beispiel könnte es in einer Richtung bei gleichen Auslenkungsstrecken mit größeren Rückstellkräften verbunden sein als in der anderen Richtung oder auch einen richtungsabhängig individuellen Kraft-Weg-Zusammenhang zeigen. Alternativ dazu oder auch zusätzlich kann die Möglichkeit genutzt werden, elastische Elemente vorzuspannen. Das hat den Vorteil, dass bei kleinen Auslenkungen in Folge der Vorspannung bereits nennenswerte Rückstellkräfte auftreten. Wenn nämlich die Rückstellung nur über ein einziges elastisches Element erfolgt, beispielsweise eines, dass in eine Richtung auf Stauchung und in der anderen Richtung auf Dehnung beansprucht wird, so sind, auch bei nicht linearen Kraft-Weg-Zusammenhängen, die Rückstellkräfte in der Umgebung der Sollposition klein. Dementsprechend unsicher oder ungenau ist die Positionsbestimmung. Dieser Vorteil gilt auch gegenüber der Verwendung zweier elastischer Elemente ohne entsprechende Einwege-Kupplungen. Dann addieren sich nämlich die Kräfte beider elastischer Elemente, was letztlich zu einem gemeinsamen Kraft-Weg-Zusammenhang führt, der wiederum in der Umgebung der Sollposition dementsprechend kleine Rückstellkräfte beinhaltet (weil in der Sollpostion ein Kräftegleichgewicht herrschen muss).Accordingly, the invention offers the advantage of being able to individually provide the elastic element for the particular direction. Thus it can be designed individually as desired. For example, it could be connected in one direction with equal deflection distances with greater restoring forces than in the other direction or also show a direction-dependent individual force-distance relationship. Alternatively or additionally, the possibility can be used to bias elastic elements. This has the advantage that with small deflections as a result of the bias already significant restoring forces occur. Namely, if the provision takes place only over a single elastic element, for example one that is claimed in one direction to compression and in the other direction to elongation, so are the restoring forces in the environment of the non-linear force-displacement relationships Target position small. Accordingly uncertain or inaccurate is the position determination. This advantage also applies to the use of two elastic elements without corresponding one-way clutches. For then the forces of both elastic elements add up, which ultimately leads to a joint force-displacement relationship, which in turn in the vicinity of the desired position accordingly includes small restoring forces (because in the desired position an equilibrium of forces must prevail).
Der Begriff "elastisches Element" steht ganz allgemein für Bauteile, die nach einem bestimmten Kraftwegzusammenhang eine Rückstellkraft zur Rückbewegung in die Sollposition bereitstellen. In Betracht kommen dabei nicht nur im klassischen Sinn des linearen Kraftwegzusammenhangs "elastische" Elemente. Bevorzugt sind elastische Elemente aus Elastomeren (wie z. B. Gummizüge), Gasdruckfedern und besonders Schraubenfedern und andere klassische Metallfedern.The term "elastic element" is generally for components that provide a restoring force for returning to the desired position after a certain Kraftweg context. It is not only in the classical sense of the linear force path context "elastic" elements come into consideration. Preferred are elastic elements made of elastomers (such as elastics), gas springs and especially coil springs and other classic metal springs.
Besonders bevorzugter Weise werden Schraubenfedern auf Zug beansprucht und, ebenfalls vorzugsweise bereits auf Zug vorgespannt.Particularly preferred manner coil springs are claimed to train and, preferably also already biased to train.
Ferner richtet sich die Erfindung grundsätzlich auf Positonsrückführvorrichtungen mit zumindest zwei Richtungen, vorzugsweise aber auf solche mit genau zwei Richtungen, die zueinander entgegengesetzt sind. Vor allem bezieht sich die Erfindung dabei auf Richtungen im geraden linearen Sinn und dementsprechend auch Bewegungsrichtungen im Sinne einer Längsverschiebung. Im allgemeinsten Sinn ist hier von Richtungen aber auch im Sinne von Drehrichtungen und dementsprechend entgegengesetzten Drehbewegungen die Rede.Furthermore, the invention is basically directed to Positonsrückführvorrichtungen with at least two directions, but preferably to those with exactly two directions that are opposite to each other. Above all, the invention relates to directions in the straight linear sense and accordingly also directions of movement in the sense of a longitudinal displacement. In the most general sense is here of directions but also in the sense of directions of rotation and correspondingly opposite rotational movements the speech.
An den Rückstellungskupplungs-seitigen Enden der elastischen Elemente können verschiebbar geführte Schlitten vorgesehen sein, die einen Teil dieser Kupplungen bilden können.Slidably guided carriages may be provided on the return coupling-side ends of the elastic members which may form part of these couplings.
In diesem Zusammenhang oder auch unabhängig davon können die Rückstellkupplungen vorteilhaft mit einer einseitigen Anlage ausgestaltet sein, also indem zwei Elemente in der einen Relativbewegungsrichtung aneinanderstoßen und sich in der anderen Relativbewegungsrichtung von einander lösen können, beispielsweise durch einen Eingriff eines Stifts in eine einseitig offene Ausnehmung.In this context, or independently thereof, the reset clutches can advantageously be configured with a one-sided system, ie by two elements abut each other in the one relative direction of movement and can be solved in the other relative direction of movement, for example by engagement of a pin in a recess open on one side.
Die erfindungsgemäße Positionsrückführvorrichtung kann für unterschiedlichste Vorrichtungsteile eingesetzt werden, richtet sich aber vorzugsweise auf Schiebetürsysteme. Auch denkbar sind Anwendungen etwa bei Arbeitsplatten z. B. Tischplatten, oder sonstigen bewegbaren Möbelteilen. In diesem Zusammenhang sind, wie eingangs bereits erwähnt, Dämpfungseinrichtungen bekannt. Auch die erfindungsgemäße Positionsrückführvorrichtung ist vorteilhaft mit einem Dämpfer zu kombinieren. Dazu sind die entsprechenden Enden des Dämpfers einerseits mit dem Mitnehmer der Positionsrückführvorrichtung und andererseits mit den beiden Enden der elastischen Elemente zu koppeln, die nicht mit dem Mitnehmer gekoppelt sind. Natürlich können auch mehr als ein Dämpfer, insbesondere zwei Dämpfer, verwendet werden.The position feedback device according to the invention can be used for a wide variety of device parts, but is preferably directed to sliding door systems. Also conceivable are applications such as worktops z. As table tops, or other movable furniture parts. In this context, as already mentioned, damping devices are known. The position feedback device according to the invention is also advantageous to combine with a damper. For this purpose, the corresponding ends of the damper on the one hand to couple with the driver of the position feedback device and on the other hand with the two ends of the elastic elements, which are not coupled to the driver. Of course, more than one damper, especially two dampers, can be used.
Insbesondere wird hierzu verwiesen auf die eingangs bereits zitierte
Entsprechend der zitierten EP-Veröffentlichung ist auch im vorliegenden Zusammenhang eine Ausgestaltung der Dämpfungskupplung mit einem sich entlang einer Schiebestrecke bewegenden und in abgewinkelten Endstücken der Schiebestrecke freigebenden Schieber bevorzugt. Ferner ist auch im vorliegenden Zusammenhang eine gabelartige Ausbildung des Schiebers zur Wechselwirkung mit einem Anschlagelement bevorzugt, wobei die gabelartige Form das Anschlagelement In einer Bewegung entlang der Schiebestrecke umgreift, in den genannten Endstücken jedoch freigibt, indem die Gabelform entsprechend verkippt wird. Zu den vorstehend genannten Ausgestaltungen im Zusammenhang mit der Dämpfung und der Dämpfungskupplung wird ergänzend auf die genannte EP-Veröffentlichung verwiesen.According to the cited EP publication, an embodiment of the damping clutch is also preferred in the present context with a sliding along a sliding distance and releasing in angled end pieces of the sliding distance slider. Furthermore, in the present context, a fork-like design of the slider for interaction with a stop element is preferred, wherein the fork-like shape engages the stop element in a movement along the sliding distance, but releases in said end pieces by the fork shape is tilted accordingly. For the abovementioned embodiments in connection with the damping and the damping clutch, reference is additionally made to the cited EP publication.
Hinsichtlich der Kombination der Positionsrückführvorrichtung mit dem Dämpfer ist eine feste Verbindung des bereits öfter erwähnten Mitnehmers mit demjenigen Dämpfungskupplungsteil bevorzugt, das beim Lösen der Dämpfungskupplung mit dem Dämpfer verbunden bleibt, also insbesondere mit dem Schieber. Hier kann eine einstückige Ausführung besonders praktisch sein.With regard to the combination of the position feedback device with the damper, a fixed connection of the driver already mentioned more often with the damping coupling part is preferred, which remains connected to the damper when releasing the damping clutch, ie in particular with the slider. Here, a one-piece design can be particularly useful.
Der Mitnehmer kann beispielsweise eine Verlängerung des Schiebers über eine interne Kippachse hinaus darstellen. Mit der internen Kippachse soll die rotatorische Komponente der Bewegung des Schiebers in den abgewinkelten Endstücken beschrieben werden, sodass der Mitnehmer quasi gegenläufig verkippt wird.The driver may, for example, represent an extension of the slider beyond an internal tilt axis. The internal tilting axis is intended to describe the rotational component of the movement of the slide in the angled end pieces, so that the driver is tilted in opposite directions.
Eine praktische und einfache Ausführung der Einwege-Rückstellkupplungen kann in einem Stift-Aufnahme-Mechanismus zwischen den bereits erwähnten Schlitten am Ende der elastischen Elemente und dem Mitnehmer bestehen, wie das Ausführungsbeispiel veranschaulicht. Zum Beispiel kann ein flacher Rundstift in eine ungefähr U-förmige und damit einseitig offene Vertiefung eingreifen.A practical and simple embodiment of the one-way Rücksetzkupplungen may consist in a pin-receiving mechanism between the already mentioned slide at the end of the elastic members and the driver, as the embodiment illustrated. For example, a flat round pin can engage in an approximately U-shaped and thus unilaterally open depression.
Wie bereits erläutert, lassen sich mit der erfindungsgemäßen Positionsrückführvorrichtung, besonders, aber nicht nur in Kombination mit der Dämpfungseinrichtung, Schiebetürelemente vorteilhaft montieren. Dementsprechend richtet sich die Erfindung auch auf einen Schiebetürenbeschlag mit diesen Elementen bzw. zumindest mit der Posifionsrückführvorrichtung. In dieser Weise ändern sich die Gebrauchseigenschaften des Schiebetürsystems im Sinne der Positionsbestimmung und -rückführung und gegebenenfalls der Dämpfung vorteilhaft, sodass auch das Schiebetürsystem insgesamt Gegenstand der Erfindung ist.As already explained, sliding door elements can be advantageously mounted with the position feedback device according to the invention, particularly but not only in combination with the damping device. Accordingly, the invention is also directed to a sliding door fitting with these elements or at least with the Posifionsrückführvorrichtung. In this way, the functional properties of the sliding door system in the sense of position determination and feedback and possibly the damping change advantageously, so that the sliding door system as a whole is the subject of the invention.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale auch in anderen Kombinationen erfindungswesentlich sein können und sich auf alle Kategorien der Erfindung beziehen.

In der als b bezeichneten Situation liegt der Stift 2 über dem Schlitten 7 und die (hier und im Folgenden zur Vereinfachung nicht mehr eingezeichnete) Kupplung 9 ist bereits mit dem Schlitten 7 gekoppelt. Eine zwischen dem Schlitten 7 und einem davon distalen Endpunkt des Dämpfers 4 gespannte Zugschraubenfeder 10 zieht den Schlitten 7 und damit den Mitnehmer 6 und somit das Schiebetürelement relativ zu dem Stift 2 weiter. Die Kupplung 9 greift dabei in einer anhand
Diese Bewegung schreitet fort, bis der Schlitten 7 das Ende seiner Bewegungsstrecke erreicht. Man erkennt, dass sich der Mitnehmer 6 dann von dem Schlitten 7 lösen kann, sich aber andererseits mit dem zweiten Schlitten 8 koppelt und diesen vor sich her schiebt. Dementsprechend ist die Baueinheit aus Dämpfungseinrichtung und Positonsrückführvorrichtung in

Diese Ausführung der Rückstellkupplungen 12, 13 hat insbesondere den Vorteil, besonders einfach in der Herstellung und gleichzeitig gegenüber den Kippbewegungen an den Enden der Bewegungsstrecke unempfindlich zu sein. Die runden Stifte können sich dazu leicht in den Aufnahmen mit den runden Anlageflächen drehen. Die Kippbewegungen entstehen, weil der Schieber 9 und der Mitnehmer 6 ein einheitliches Bauteil sind, dessen Mittelbereich in dem Kunststoffkörper 5 geführt ist und in den abknickenden Enden der Bewegungsstrecke (in Verbindung mit der gewünschten Kippbewegung der Gabel des Schiebers 9) insgesamt gedreht wird.This embodiment of the
