Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zum Bewegen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils, insbesondere einer Schublade, mit wenigstens einer Ausstoßvorrichtung zum Ausstoßen des Möbelteils aus der Schließstellung in eine erste Offenstellung, wobei die wenigstens eine Ausstoßvorrichtung wenigstens einen Kraftspeicher umfasst, und mit wenigstens einer Ladevorrichtung zum Laden des wenigstens einen Kraftspeichers durch eine Schließbewegung des Möbelteils, wobei das Laden des wenigstens einen Kraftspeichers über eine Ladestrecke mit einem Endpunkt erfolgt, und wobei der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher an dem Endpunkt der Ladestrecke vollständig geladen ist.The invention relates to an arrangement for moving a movable furniture part, in particular a drawer, with at least one ejection device for ejecting the furniture part from the closed position to a first open position, wherein the at least one ejection device comprises at least one energy storage, and at least one charging device for loading the at least an energy storage device by a closing movement of the furniture part, wherein the loading of the at least one energy storage device takes place via a charging path with an end point, and wherein the at least one energy storage device is completely charged at the end point of the charging path.

Derartige Anordnungen zum Bewegen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils zählen bereits zum Stand der Technik und werden z.B. in der DE 198 23 305 A1 und in der EP1396212 A1 beschrieben. Bei den bekannten Lösungen sind der Endpunkt und der Anfangspunkt der Ladestrecke festgelegt. Das bedeutet, dass wenn das bewegbare Möbelteil in bzw. an einem Möbelkorpus angeordnet ist, der End- bzw. Anfangspunkt der Ladestrecke an einer relativ zum Möbelkorpus fixen Stelle liegt. Nachteilig dabei ist, dass man das Möbelteil mindestens bis zum Anfangspunkt der Ladestrecke öffnen muss, wobei dieser Anfangspunkt auch der vollständig geöffneten Stellung des Möbelteils entsprechen kann, damit der Kraftspeicher durch die Schließbewegung des Möbelteils vollständig geladen werden kann. Andernfalls ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung nur eingeschränkt funktionsfähig.Such arrangements for moving a movable furniture part already belong to the prior art and are eg in the DE 198 23 305 A1 and in the EP1396212 A1 described. In the known solutions, the end point and the starting point of the charging path are fixed. This means that when the movable furniture part is arranged in or on a furniture body, the end or starting point of the charging path is located at a fixed relative to the furniture body body. The disadvantage here is that you have to open the furniture part at least to the starting point of the charging path, this starting point can also correspond to the fully open position of the furniture part, so that the energy storage can be fully loaded by the closing movement of the furniture part. Otherwise, the ejector is only partially functional.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die vorbeschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserte Anordnung zum Bewegen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils anzugeben.Object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a comparison with the prior art improved arrangement for moving a movable furniture part.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung vor, dass die Ladestrecke einen variablen Anfangspunkt aufweist, wobei der Anfangspunkt der Ladestrecke bei einer Schließbewegung des Möbelteils aus einer zweiten Offenstellung, die größer als die erste Offenstellung ist, durch die Position des Möbelteils zu Beginn der Schließbewegung festgelegt ist.To achieve this object, the invention provides that the charging path has a variable starting point, wherein the starting point of the charging path at a closing movement of the furniture part from a second open position, which is greater than the first open position determined by the position of the furniture part at the beginning of the closing movement is.

Vorteilhaft ist, dass durch diese Variabilität des Anfangspunktes der Ladestrecke sichergestellt ist, dass der Kraftspeicher immer vollständig geladen ist - unabhängig davon wie weit das Möbelteil (über den Endpunkt der Ladestrecke bzw. die erste Offenstellung hinaus) geöffnet wird. Bei einem - unabhängig vom Ausziehweg des bewegbaren Möbelteils - relativ zum Möbelkorpus an einer fixen Stelle angeordneten Endpunkt der Ladestrecke bedeutet das, dass die Anordnung derart ausgebildet ist, dass durch den Anfangspunkt die Kraft zum Laden des wenigstens einen Kraftspeichers eingestellt wird: Ist das bewegbare Möbelteil wenig geöffnet, so handelt es sich um eine kurze Ladestrecke und es muss eine relativ große Kraft aufgebracht werden, um den Kraftspeicher bei der Schließbewegung vollständig zu laden. Ist das Möbelteil hingegen z.B. vollständig geöffnet, so liegt eine vergleichsweise große Ladestrecke vor und es muss deutlich weniger Kraft aufgewendet werden, um den Kraftspeicher vollständig zu laden.It is advantageous that this variability of the starting point of the charging path ensures that the energy storage is always fully charged - regardless of how far the furniture part (beyond the end point of the charging path or the first open position addition) is opened. In a - regardless of Ausziehweg the movable furniture part - arranged relative to the furniture body at a fixed point end of the charging path, this means that the arrangement is designed such that by the starting point, the force to load the at least one energy storage is set: Is the movable furniture part Little open, so it is a short charging path and it must be applied a relatively large force to fully load the energy storage during the closing movement. On the other hand, if the furniture part is e.g. completely open, so there is a comparatively large charging distance and it must be spent significantly less force to fully load the energy storage.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst der wenigstens eine Kraftspeicher eine Feder, vorzugsweise eine Schenkelfeder. In diesem Fall bedeutet die Tatsache, dass die Ladestrecke einen variablen Anfangspunkt aufweist und der Anfangspunkt der Ladestrecke durch die Position des Möbelteils zu Beginn der Schließbewegung festgelegt ist, dass je nach Anfangspunkt der Ladestrecke die Steilheit der Federkennlinie angepasst wird: Bei einer langen Ladestrecke handelt es sich um eine flache, bei einer kurzen Ladestrecke um eine steile Federkennlinie.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the at least one energy accumulator comprises a spring, preferably a leg spring. In this case, the fact that the charging path has a variable starting point and the starting point of the charging path is determined by the position of the furniture part at the beginning of the closing movement that, depending on the starting point of the charging path, the slope of the spring characteristic is adjusted: This is a long charging distance It is a flat, with a short charging distance around a steep spring characteristic.

Es sei vorab noch angemerkt, dass in den Fig. 4 bis 15 die gleiche Darstellungsart (schematisch und in der Draufsicht von unten) wie in der Fig. 3 gewählt wurde.It should be noted in advance that in the Fig. 4 to 15 the same representation (schematically and in plan view from below) as in the Fig. 3 was chosen.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematisch dargestellte perspektivische Ansicht eines Schubladenkastens mit einem Möbelkorpus 6 und drei in bzw. an dem Möbelkorpus 6 bewegbar gelagerten Möbelteilen 2 in Form von Schubladen. Die Schubladen 2 sind jeweils aus einem Schubladenboden 17, zwei Seitenzargen 15, einer Rückwand 16 und einer Frontblende 14 zusammengesetzt. Fig. 1 shows a schematically illustrated perspective view of a drawer box with a furniture body 6 and three in or on the furniture body 6 movably mounted furniture parts 2 in the form of drawers. The drawers 2 are each composed of a drawer bottom 17, two side frames 15, a rear wall 16 and a front panel 14.

In der Fig. 2a ist ein Ausschnitt des Möbelkorpus 6 zusammen mit einer Schublade 2 gezeigt. Es ist zu erkennen, dass die Schublade 2 über zwei seitlich an der Schublade 2 angeordnete Ausziehführungen 18 in Verbindung mit dem Möbelkorpus 6 stehen (wobei in dieser Figur nur eine der zwei Ausziehführungen 18 sichtbar ist). In der dargestellten Form besteht die Ausziehführung 18 aus drei Teilen: einer Korpusschiene, die an dem Möbelkorpus 6 befestigt ist, einer Ladenschiene, die an der Schublade 2 befestigt ist, und einer zwischen der Laden- und der Korpusschiene bewegbar gelagerten Mittelschiene. Mittels Ausziehführungen in dieser dreiteiligen Form kann ein sogenannter Vollauszug von Schubladen realisiert werden. Andere zum Stand der Technik gehörende Ausziehführungen sollen aber vom Erfindungsgedanken nicht ausgeschlossen sein.In the Fig. 2a a section of the furniture body 6 is shown together with a drawer 2. It can be seen that the drawer 2 on two sides of the drawer. 2 arranged pullout guides 18 are in communication with the furniture body 6 (in this figure, only one of the two extension guides 18 is visible). In the illustrated form, the pull-out guide 18 is comprised of three parts: a carcass rail secured to the furniture body 6, a drawer rail secured to the drawer 2, and a center rail movably mounted between the drawer rail and the carcass rail. By means of pull-out guides in this three-part form, a so-called full extension of drawers can be realized. However, other pull-out guides belonging to the prior art should not be excluded from the idea of the invention.

Die Fig. 2b zeigt eine Ansicht der in der Fig. 2a dargestellten Kombination aus einem Teil des Möbelkorpus 6 und einer Schublade 2 von schräg unten. In dieser Ansicht ist erkennbar, dass ein Teil der Anordnung 1 zum Bewegen der Schublade 2 (in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform) an der Unterseite des Schubladenbodens 17 und ein anderer Teil der Anordnung 1 an den Korpusschienen der beiden Ausziehführungen 18 angeordnet ist. Weiters ist erkennbar, dass die Anordnung 1 in dieser Ausführungsform aus zwei Hälften besteht, die im Wesentlichen spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander sind. Die gedachte Spiegelachse ist mittels einer gestrichelten Linie angedeutet. Die beiden Hälften umfassen jeweils eine Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 zum Ausstoßen der Schublade 2 aus der Schließstellung in eine Offenstellung, wobei diese Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 gleichzeitig auch noch als Einzugsvorrichtung zum Einziehen der Schublade 2 in die Schließstellung fungiert. Daneben umfasst die Anordnung 1 auch noch eine Dämpfvorrichtung 13 zur Dämpfung der Einzugsbewegung der Einzugsvorrichtung 3. Die Dämpfvorrichtung 13 und die Einzugsvorrichtung 3 sind über ein Winkelblech 20 mit der Korpusschiene der Ausziehführung 18 verbunden (wobei das Winkelblech 20 auf der linken Seite weggelassen wurde). Das bedeutet, dass diese Teile der Anordnung 1 fest mit dem Möbelkorpus 6 verbunden sind und bei einer Bewegung der Schublade 2 nicht ihre Lage relativ zum Möbelkorpus 6 ändern. Die übrigen Bestandteile der Anordnung 1 (in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform) sind an der Unterseite des Schubladenbodens 17 angeordnet und ändern somit bei einer Bewegung der Schublade 2 ihre Lage relativ zum Möbelkorpus 6.The Fig. 2b shows a view of the in the Fig. 2a shown combination of a part of the furniture body 6 and a drawer 2 obliquely from below. In this view it can be seen that a part of the arrangement 1 for moving the drawer 2 (in the preferred embodiment) is arranged on the underside of the drawer bottom 17 and another part of the arrangement 1 on the cabinet rails of the two extension guides 18. Furthermore, it can be seen that the arrangement 1 in this embodiment consists of two halves, which are substantially mirror-symmetrical to one another. The imaginary mirror axis is indicated by a dashed line. The two halves each comprise an ejection device 3 for ejecting the drawer 2 from the closed position into an open position, this ejection device 3 also simultaneously acting as a collection device for drawing the drawer 2 into the closed position. In addition, the arrangement 1 also includes a damping device 13 for damping the retraction movement of the retraction device 3. The damping device 13 and the retraction device 3 are connected via an angle plate 20 with the body rail of the pull-18 (the angle plate 20 has been omitted on the left side). This means that these parts of the assembly 1 are firmly connected to the furniture body 6 and do not change their position relative to the furniture body 6 during a movement of the drawer 2. The remaining components of the arrangement 1 (in the preferred embodiment) are arranged on the underside of the drawer bottom 17 and thus change their position relative to the furniture body 6 when the drawer 2 moves.

Die Details der einzelnen Bestandteile sowie die Funktionsweise der Anordnung 1 seien im Folgenden näher anhand der Fig. 3 bis 15 erläutert. Zu sehen ist jeweils eine Draufsicht auf die in den Fig. 2a und 2b dargestellte Einheit aus einem Teil des Möbelkorpus 6 und einer Schublade 2 von unten, wobei die beiden eigentlich vorhandenen Winkelbleche 20 weggelassen wurden und für das Verständnis der Funktionsweise der Anordnung 1 wichtige Bestandteile der Anordnung 1, die man eigentlich nicht sehen würde, da sie von anderen Bauteilen verdeckt werden, gestrichelt eingezeichnet sind.The details of the individual components and the mode of operation of the arrangement 1 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG Fig. 3 to 15 explained. One can be seen each Top view of the in the Fig. 2a and 2b shown unit of a part of the furniture body 6 and a drawer 2 from below, the two actually existing angle plates 20 have been omitted and for understanding the operation of the arrangement 1 important components of the assembly 1, which you would not actually see because of others Components are hidden, dashed lines are shown.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Schließstellung der Schublade 2. Es sei zunächst die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Ausstoßvorrichtungen 3 gelenkt, wobei die an der linken Ausziehführung 18 angeordnete Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 vergrößert dargestellt ist. In dieser vergrößerten Darstellung ist zu sehen, dass die Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 eine Montageplatte 30 umfasst, auf der ein um eine Drehachse 31 drehbar gelagerter Kraftspeicher 4 angeordnet ist, wobei die Rotationsbewegung dieses Kraftspeichers 4 dadurch begrenzt ist, dass an dem Kraftspeicher 4 ein Zapfen 21 angeordnet ist, der in eine Führungsbahn 28 in der Montageplatte 30 hineinragt, wobei sich dieser Zapfen 29 nur in dieser Führungsbahn 28 bewegen kann. Durch die Ausgestaltung der Führungsbahn 18 kann der Kraftspeicher 4 nur einer Rotationsbewegung um ca. 90° vollziehen. Fig. 3 shows the closed position of the drawer 2. Let attention first be directed to the ejection devices 3, wherein the ejection device 3 arranged on the left pull-out guide 18 is shown enlarged. In this enlarged representation, it can be seen that the ejection device 3 comprises a mounting plate 30 on which a force accumulator 4 rotatably mounted about a rotation axis 31 is arranged, wherein the rotational movement of this force accumulator 4 is limited by the fact that a pin 21 is arranged on the force accumulator 4 is that projects into a guide track 28 in the mounting plate 30, wherein this pin 29 can move only in this guideway 28. Due to the design of the guide track 18, the force accumulator 4 can perform only a rotational movement by about 90 °.

Der Kraftspeicher 4 umfasst eine Feder 17, genauer gesagt eine Schenkelfeder, in welcher die eigentliche Energie des Kraftspeichers 4 gespeichert ist. Wenn sich der Zapfen 29 des Kraftspeichers 4 am linken oberen Anschlag der Führungsbahn 28 befindet, ist der Kraftspeicher 4 vollständig geladen. Befindet er sich am rechten unteren Anschlagspunkt, ist er vollständig entladen.The energy accumulator 4 comprises a spring 17, more precisely a leg spring, in which the actual energy of the energy accumulator 4 is stored. When the pin 29 of the energy accumulator 4 is located on the left upper stop of the guideway 28, the energy accumulator 4 is fully charged. If it is at the lower right stop point, it is completely unloaded.

An dem Kraftspeicher 4 ist des Weiteren ein bolzenförmiger Mitnehmer 7 angeordnet, welcher eine wesentliche Rolle für die Funktionsweise der Anordnung 1 spielt: In der gezeigten Schließstellung sorgt er dafür, dass die Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 im teilweise geladenen Zustand (der Zapfen 29 befindet sich in einer mittleren Position und die Schenkelfeder 27 ist zum Teil gespannt) verriegelt ist und sich der Kraftspeicher 4 nicht entladen kann. Das wird dadurch erreicht, dass an der noch zu beschreibenden Ladevorrichtung 5 eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 12 in Form einer Rastnase angeordnet ist, die derart ausgebildet ist, dass sich der Mitnehmer 7 des Kraftspeichers 4 nicht in Richtung der entladenen Stellung bewegen kann, wenn der Mitnehmer 7 in der Schließstellung der Schublade 2 an der Rastnase anliegt. Dieser Sachverhalt ist etwas genauer in dem vergrößerten Ausschnitt der an der rechten Ausziehführung 18 angeordneten Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 erkennbar. Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass anstelle einer Rastnase natürlich auch andere dem Fachmann bekannte Lösungen verwendet werden können, wie z.B. eine zumindest bereichsweise herzkurvenförmig ausgebildete Ver- und Entriegelungsbahn.Furthermore, a bolt-shaped driver 7, which plays an essential role for the functioning of the arrangement 1, is arranged on the energy store 4. In the closed position shown, it ensures that the ejection device 3 is in a partially charged state (the cone 29 is located in a middle position) Position and the leg spring 27 is partially stretched) is locked and the energy storage device 4 can not discharge. This is achieved by arranging on the loading device 5 to be described a locking device 12 in the form of a latching nose, which is designed in such a way that the carrier 7 of the energy store 4 can not move in the direction of the unloaded position when the carrier 7 is in the closed position of the drawer 2 bears against the latching lug. This situation is something more precisely in the enlarged section of the ejection device 3 arranged on the right pull-out guide 18. It should also be noted that, of course, other known to the expert solutions can be used instead of a locking lug, such as an at least partially heart curve trained locking and unlocking.

In der Fig. 4 ist gezeigt, wie diese Verriegelung der Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 durch eine Entriegelung aufgehoben werden kann. Es handelt sich bei der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 12 somit auch gleichzeitig um eine Entriegelungsvorrichtung. Die Entriegelung geht dadurch vonstatten, dass die Schublade 2 vom Nutzer in Richtung der Rückwand des Möbelkorpus 6 gedrückt wird. Dadurch trifft die Spitze einer Abstützvorrichtung 8, welche an dem Schubladenboden 17 angeordnet ist, auf den Mitnehmer 7, wodurch dieser Mitnehmer 7 gegen die Rastnase 12 gedrückt wird. Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Rastnase 12 an dem Ende einer Steuerschiene 10, welche die Ladevorrichtung 5 umfasst, angeordnet ist, wobei diese Steuerschiene 10 drehbar um eine Drehachse 26 gelagert ist, wodurch die Lage der Steuerschienen 10 in Bezug auf die Schublade 2 bzw. den Möbelkorpus 6 änderbar ist. Die Steuerschiene 10 ist durch eine Feder 24 federbeaufschlagt. In der Schließstellung herrscht ein Kräftegleichgewicht zwischen der Feder 24, welche an der Steuerschiene 10 angreift, und der Schenkelfeder 27 im Kraftspeicher 4, welche auf den Mitnehmer 7 wirkt. Dieses Kräftegleichgewicht wird jedoch beim Entriegeln dahingehend beeinflusst, dass der Mitnehmer 7 gegen die Rastnase 12 gedrückt wird. Dadurch schwenkt die Rastnase 12 und damit die Steuerschiene 10 etwas zur Seite, und zwar so weit, dass der Mitnehmer 7 den Vorsprung der Rastnase 12 überwinden und nach unten rutschen kann. Der Mitnehmer 7 wird auf diese Weise von der Steuerschiene 10 entkoppelt.In the Fig. 4 it is shown how this locking of the ejection device 3 can be canceled by unlocking. It is thus at the same time at the locking device 12 to an unlocking device. The unlocking is effected by the fact that the drawer 2 is pressed by the user in the direction of the rear wall of the furniture body 6. As a result, the tip of a support device 8, which is arranged on the drawer bottom 17, strikes the driver 7, as a result of which this driver 7 is pressed against the latching lug 12. It should be noted that the locking lug 12 at the end of a control rail 10, which includes the loading device 5, is arranged, said control rail 10 is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 26, whereby the position of the control rails 10 with respect to the drawer. 2 or the furniture body 6 is changeable. The control rail 10 is spring-loaded by a spring 24. In the closed position, there is a balance of forces between the spring 24, which acts on the control rail 10, and the leg spring 27 in the energy accumulator 4, which acts on the driver 7. However, this balance of forces is affected when unlocking to the effect that the driver 7 is pressed against the locking lug 12. As a result, the locking lug 12 and thus the control rail 10 pivots slightly to the side, and indeed so far that the driver 7 overcome the projection of the locking lug 12 and can slide down. The driver 7 is decoupled in this way from the control rail 10.

In der Fig. 5 ist der sich an die Entriegelung anschließend Ausstoßvorgang, der durch die Ausstoßvorrichtung 3 vermittelt wird, dargestellt. Nach der Entriegelung trifft der Mitnehmer 7 auf eine bereichsweise gekrümmte Steuerkontur 9, welche an der Abstützvorrichtung 8 angeordnet ist, und gleitet an dieser entlang, da sich die Schenkelfeder 27 des Kraftspeichers 4 entspannen möchte. Die dabei frei werdende Energie wird auf die Abstützvorrichtung 8 und damit auf die Schublade 2 übertragen, was zu einer Ausstoßbewegung der Schublade 2 aus der Schließ- in eine erste Offenstellung führt. Die von den beiden Ausstoßvorrichtungen 3 übertragene Energie reicht aus, die Schublade 2 (je nach Belastungszustand) um mehrere Zentimeter auszustoßen, jedenfalls so weit, dass der Nutzer die Frontblende der Schublade 2 untergreifen und die Schublade 2 in weiterer Folge manuell öffnen kann. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt derartiger Ausstoßvorrichtungen besteht also darin, Schubladen verwenden zu können, an deren Fronten keine Griffe angebracht werden müssen, um die Schubladen öffnen zu können.In the Fig. 5 is the ejection then ejection process, which is mediated by the ejector 3, shown. After unlocking the driver 7 strikes a partially curved control contour 9, which is arranged on the support device 8, and slides along this, since the leg spring 27 of the energy accumulator 4 would like to relax. The energy thus released is transferred to the support device 8 and thus to the drawer 2, which leads to a discharge movement of the drawer 2 from the closed to a first open position. The energy transmitted by the two ejection devices 3 is sufficient to eject the drawer 2 (depending on the load condition) by several centimeters, at least so far that the user can reach under the front panel of the drawer 2 and subsequently open the drawer 2 manually. An essential aspect of such ejection devices is therefore to be able to use drawers on the fronts no handles must be attached to open the drawers can.

Vergleicht man die Fig. 4 und 5, so stellt man fest, dass sich bei der Ausstoßbewegung der Schublade 2 die beiden Steuerschienen 10 der Ladevorrichtungen 5 zur Schubladenmitte hin bewegt haben und nunmehr an Anschlagskonturen 31 und 32 anliegen. Die Feder 24, welche zwischen den beiden Steuerschienen 10 angeordnet ist, hat sich bei dieser Ausstoßbewegung entspannt.Comparing the Fig. 4 and 5 , it can be seen that in the ejection movement of the drawer 2, the two control rails 10 of the charging devices 5 have moved towards the middle of the drawer and now abut stop contours 31 and 32. The spring 24, which is arranged between the two control rails 10, has relaxed in this ejection movement.

Wenn man sich das obere Ende der Steuerschienen 10 etwas genauer anschaut, so stellt man fest, dass dort jeweils eine kleine Spitze in Richtung der Rückwand der Schublade ragt. Es könnte der Eindruck entstehen, dass durch diese Spitzen die Bewegung der beiden Steuerschienen 10 aus der Stellung, die in der Fig. 4 gezeigt ist, in die Stellung, welche in der Fig. 5 gezeigt ist, behindert werden könnte. Betrachtet man jedoch die Fig. 6, welche einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt aus dem Bereich der Schubladenrückwand zeigt, so kann man sehen, dass es sich bei den beiden Spitzen um jeweils einen Arm eines zweiarmigen Kipphebels 22 handelt, wobei der andere Arm der Kipphebel 22 jeweils mittels einer Feder 23 federbeaufschlagt sind. Bewegen sich nun die beiden Steuerschienen 10 in Richtung der Schubladenmitte, so stoßen die freien Arme der Kipphebel 22 gegen die Kante einer bereichsweise stufenförmig ausgebildeten Verrastkontur 21, wodurch die Kipphebel 22 zur Seite gekippt werden und den Weg für die Bewegung der Steuerschienen 10 freigeben. Nach Erreichen der in der Fig. 5 gezeigten Position, liegen die Kipphebel 22 nicht mehr an der Verrastkontur 21 an, die Federn 23, die zwangsweise gespannt wurden, entspannen sich wieder und die Kipphebel 22 bewegen sich unter der Federwirkung in ihre Ausgangsposition zurück.If you look at the upper end of the control rails 10 a little closer, so it is found that there each a small tip protrudes in the direction of the rear wall of the drawer. It could give the impression that through these tips the movement of the two control rails 10 from the position shown in the Fig. 4 is shown in the position which in the Fig. 5 shown could be hampered. But if you look at the Fig. 6 which shows an enlarged section of the area of the drawer rear wall, it can be seen that the two tips are in each case one arm of a two-armed rocker arm 22, wherein the other arm of the rocker arms 22 are each spring-loaded by means of a spring 23. Now move the two control rails 10 in the direction of the middle of the drawer, so the free arms of the rocker arm 22 abut against the edge of a partially stepped Verrastkontur 21, whereby the rocker arm 22 are tilted to the side and clear the way for the movement of the control rails 10. After reaching the in the Fig. 5 shown position, the rocker arms 22 are no longer at the Verrastkontur 21, the springs 23, which were forcibly tensioned, relax again and the rocker arms 22 move under the spring action back to its original position.

In den Fig. 7 bis 10 ist nun der weitere manuelle Öffnungsvorgang der Schublade 2 durch den Nutzer dargestellt. Bei diesem Öffnungsvorgang treten nur sehr geringe Reibungskräfte auf, da bei diesem Öffnungsvorgang lediglich die Feder 24, nicht aber die beiden Schenkelfedern der Kraftspeicher 4 geladen werden. Aus dem Vergleich der Fig. 5 und 7 ist ersichtlich, dass sich die Mitnehmer 7 der Kraftspeicher 4 zunächst in eine in dieser Stellung der Steuerschienen 10 parallel zu den Schubladenseitenwänden orientierte Führungsbahn innerhalb der Steuerschienen 10 hineinbewegen (was in der Fig. 5 durch Pfeife angedeutet ist) - dadurch in erneute Kopplung mit den Steuerschienen 10 treten - und dabei jeweils einen ebenfalls um die Drehachse 26 drehbar gelagerten einarmigen Schwenkhebel 25 zur Seite stoßen. Dieser Sachverhalt ist in dem vergrößerten Ausschnitt der rechten Steuerschiene 10 in der Fig. 7 zu sehen.In the Fig. 7 to 10 Now the further manual opening operation of the drawer 2 is shown by the user. In this opening process, only very low frictional forces occur, since in this opening process, only the spring 24, but not the two torsion springs of the energy storage 4 are loaded. From the comparison of FIGS. 5 and 7 It can be seen that the drivers 7 of the energy accumulator 4 initially move into a guideway oriented parallel to the drawer sidewalls in this position of the control rails 10 within the control rails 10 (which is shown in FIGS Fig. 5 indicated by whistle) - thereby occur in renewed coupling with the control rails 10 - and thereby each push a also about the rotation axis 26 rotatably mounted one-armed pivot lever 25 to the side. This situation is in the enlarged section of the right-hand control rail 10 in the Fig. 7 to see.

In der Fig. 8 ist die Schublade 2 so weit geöffnet, dass die Mitnehmer 7 jeweils die Schwenkhebel 25 überwunden haben und sich nun in einem zweiten Teilabschnitt der Führungsbahn der Steuerschienen 10 befinden. Es sei noch angemerkt, dass die beiden Schwenkhebel 25 jeweils durch eine (nicht zu sehende) kleine Feder federbeaufschlagt sind und dadurch in einer Stellung gehalten werden, in welcher die oberen Bereiche der Schwenkhebel 25 den ersten Teilabschnitt der Führungsbahn, den die Mitnehmer 7 zuerst durchquert haben, verschließen. Es ist zwar nicht die kleine Feder zu sehen, wohl aber die beiden Federangriffspunkte, zwischen denen die Feder eingespannt ist und die oberhalb des Drehpunktes 26 angeordnet sind.In the Fig. 8 is the drawer 2 so far open that the driver 7 have each overcome the pivot lever 25 and are now in a second section of the guideway of the control rails 10. It should be noted that the two pivot levers 25 are each spring-loaded by a (not to be seen) small spring and thereby held in a position in which the upper portions of the pivot lever 25, the first section of the guideway, the driver 7 first traverses have closed. Although it is not the small spring to see, but probably the two spring application points, between which the spring is clamped and which are arranged above the pivot point 26.

Fig. 9 zeigt eine Stellung der Schublade 2, in welcher die Schublade 2 noch etwas weiter geöffnet ist. Da die Ausstoßvorrichtungen 3 jeweils mit der Korpusschiene der Ausziehführungen 18 verbunden sind und die Kraft zum Laden des Kraftspeichers 4 größer ist als die Kraft, die man aufwenden muss, um die beiden Steuerschienen 10 in Richtung der beiden Schubladenseitenwände zu verschwenken, behalten die Mitnehmer 7 ihre Position bei und zwingen die Steuerschienen 10 dazu, nach außen, d.h. in Richtung der Schubladenseitenwände zu schwenken. Die zwei am Ende der Steuerschienen 10 angeordneten Kipphebel 22 (siehe Fig. 6) werden dabei in die im Vergleich zu der weiter oben beschriebenen Bewegung in die entgegengesetzte Drehrichtung gekippt und ihre freien Arme "hüpfen" dabei von Stufe zu Stufe der Verrastkontur 21. Fig. 9 shows a position of the drawer 2, in which the drawer 2 is still opened a little further. Since the ejection devices 3 are respectively connected to the carcass rail of the pull-out guides 18 and the force for loading the energy accumulator 4 is greater than the force that must be applied to pivot the two control rails 10 in the direction of the two drawer side walls, the drivers 7 keep their Position and force the control rails 10 to pivot outwards, ie in the direction of the drawer side walls. The two arranged at the end of the control rails 10 rocker arm 22 (see Fig. 6 ) are thereby tilted in the opposite direction of rotation in comparison to the movement described above and their free arms "hop" thereby from stage to stage of Verrastkontur 21st

Die Fig. 10 zeigt die Endposition der Schublade 2, in welcher die Schublade 2 vollständig geöffnet ist. In dieser Position haben sich die beiden Mitnehmer 7 aus dem zweiten Teilabschnitt der Führungsbahn in den beiden Steuerschienen 10 etwas hinausbewegt. Die beiden kleinen Kipphebel 22, welche am Ende der beiden Steuerschienen 10 angeordnet sind, befinden sich jeweils mit ihrem freien Arm auf der letzten Stufe der Verrastkontur 21.The Fig. 10 shows the end position of the drawer 2, in which the drawer 2 is fully open. In this position, the two drivers have 7 from the second section of the guideway in the two control rails 10 is slightly moved out. The two small rocker arms 22, which are arranged at the end of the two control rails 10, are each with their free arm on the last stage of Verrastkontur 21st

In den Fig. 11 bis 13 ist nun der Schließvorgang der Schublade 2 aus der in der Fig. 10 gezeigten Endposition dargestellt, wobei diese Endposition eine mögliche zweite Offenstellung im Sinne des Anspruchs 1, die größer als die erste Offenstellung ist, darstellt. Der Zusatz "die größer als die erste Offenstellung ist" heißt also, dass die Schublade weiter ausgezogen ist. Zu Beginn der Schließbewegung aus dieser Endposition bewegen sich die beiden Mitnehmer 7 zunächst wieder in die beiden. Führungsbahnen der Steuerschienen 10 zurück. Das wird dadurch erleichtert, dass der obere, zweite Abschnitt dieser Führungsbahnen leicht trichterförmig ausgebildet ist. Anschließend stoßen die beiden Mitnehmer 2 auf die der Schubladenmitte zugewandte Kante der Führungsbahnen der Steuerschienen 10. Nun könnte man meinen, dass sich dadurch die Steuerschienen 10 wieder in Richtung der Schubladenmitte bewegen. Dies ist jedoch nicht möglich, da die freien Arme der beiden Kipphebel 22 (siehe Fig. 6) nach wie vor an der letzten Stufe der Verrastkontur 21 anliegen und sich nur durch eine Schwenkbewegung der Steuerschienen 10 in Richtung der Schubladenseitenwände, nicht aber in Richtung der Schubladenmitte, aus dieser Stellung herausbewegen können. Die Kombination eines der beiden Kipphebel 22 und (einer Hälfte) der Rastkontur 21 stellt in dieser Situation also jeweils einen Verrastmechanismus 11 für die beiden Steuerschienen 10 dar. Mittels dieser Verrastmechanismen wird die Lage der beiden Steuerschienen 10 in Bezug auf die Schublade 2 und natürlich auf den Möbelkorpus 6 zu Beginn der Schließbewegung und damit auch der Anfangspunkt xi der Ladestrecke Δx, über welche das Laden der Kraftspeicher 4 erfolgt, festgelegt. Dadurch, dass die Steuerschienen 10 nun in ihrer Position fixiert sind, haben die Mitnehmer 7 und damit der Kraftspeicher 4 keine andere Wahl, als in Richtung der Schubladenseitenwände und entgegen der Federkraft der Schenkelfedern auszuweichen. Auf diese Weise wird ein Teil der Energie der Translationsbewegung der Schublade 2 auf die Kraftspeicher 4 übertragen.In the Fig. 11 to 13 is now the closing of the drawer 2 from in the Fig. 10 shown end position, said end position represents a possible second open position within the meaning of claim 1, which is greater than the first open position represents. The addition "which is greater than the first open position" thus means that the drawer is pulled out further. At the beginning of the closing movement from this end position, the two drivers 7 initially move back into the two. Guideways of the control rails 10 back. This is facilitated by the fact that the upper, second section of these guideways is slightly funnel-shaped. Subsequently, the two drivers 2 to the middle of the drawer facing edge of the tracks of the control rails 10. Now you might think that thereby move the control rails 10 back towards the middle of the drawer. However, this is not possible because the free arms of the two rocker arms 22 (see Fig. 6 ) still rest against the last step of Verrastkontur 21 and can move out of this position only by a pivoting movement of the control rails 10 in the direction of the drawer side walls, but not in the direction of the middle of the drawer. The combination of one of the two rocker arms 22 and (one half) of the latching contour 21 in this situation thus in each case a latching mechanism 11 for the two control rails 10. By means of these Verrastmechanismen the position of the two control rails 10 with respect to the drawer 2 and of course the furniture body 6 at the beginning of the closing movement and thus also the starting point x i of the charging path .DELTA.x, via which the loading of the energy storage device 4 is set. Characterized in that the control rails 10 are now fixed in position, the driver 7 and thus the energy storage 4 have no choice but to dodge in the direction of the drawer side walls and against the spring force of the torsion springs. In this way, a part of the energy of the translational movement of the drawer 2 is transmitted to the energy storage 4.

Ein weiterer Unterschied zwischen Öffnungs- und Schließbewegung der Schublade 2 besteht auch noch darin, dass sich die Mitnehmer 7 nun entlang derjenigen Seiten der beiden Schwenkhebel 25 bewegen, welche den Schubladenseitenwänden zugewandt sind, da diese Schwenkhebel 25 ja durch die beiden weiter oben beschriebenen kleinen Federn in Richtung der Schubladenmitte und damit an eine Kante 32 der Steuerschiene 10 gezogen werden, so dass sich die Mitnehmer 7 jeweils nicht in den ersten Teilabschnitt der Führungsbahnen der Steuerschienen 10 zurückbewegen können. Dieser Sachverhalt ist anhand des vergrößerten Ausschnitts aus der Fig. 11 erkennbar. Der Endpunkt xf der Lädestrecke Δx, an welchem die beiden Kraftspeicher 4 vollständig geladen sind, ist dort erreicht, wo die Mitnehmer 7 den Drehpunkt 26 der beiden Schwenkhebel 25 erreicht haben (siehe Fig. 10), d.h. dass der Endpunkt xf der Ladestrecke Δx - unabhängig vom Ausziehweg der Schublade 2 - an einer relativ zum Möbelkorpus 6 fixen Stelle liegt. An diesem Endpunkt xf der Ladestrecke Δx ist die Schenkelfeder der beiden Kraftspeicher 4 maximal gespannt. Bis zu diesem Endpunkt xf, der ca. 10 cm vor dem Erreichen der Schließstellung erreicht ist, muss der Nutzer die Schublade 2 aktiv bewegen. Sobald der Endpunkt xf überschritten ist, entspannen sich die beiden Kraftspeicher 4 (bis zum Erreichen der Schließstellung) wieder etwas. Durch die frei werdende Energie wird die Schublade 2 nunmehr selbsttätig in die Schließstellung gezogen. Die Ausstoßvorrichtungen 3 fungieren also gleichzeitig als Einzugsvorrichtungen. Wichtig in diesem Zusammenhang ist auch noch, dass die Anordnung 1 in dem hier dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils eine Dämpfvorrichtung 13 zur Dämpfung der Einzugsbewegung der Einzugsvorrichtung 3 umfasst. Genauer gesagt handelt es sich um einen Fluiddämpfer in Form eines Lineardämpfers mit einer Kolben-Zylindereinheit, wobei diese Dämpfvorrichtung 13 mit der Korpusschiene der Ausziehführungen 18 bzw. dem Möbelkorpus 6 in Verbindung steht und der Kolben dieses Dämpfers 13 an einen seitlich an der Ladenschiene angeordneten Vorsprung 19 anstößt und auf diese Weise die Einzugsbewegung abdämpft. Alternative Dämpferarten, die nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind (z.B. Rotationsdämpfer), seien natürlich vom Erfindungsgedanken nicht ausgeschlossen. Fig. 13 zeigt die Schließstellung der Schublade 2, die auch schon anhand der Fig. 3 beschrieben wurde.Another difference between the opening and closing movement of the drawer 2 is also that the driver 7 now along those sides of the move two pivoting lever 25, which are facing the drawer side walls, since these pivoting lever 25 are indeed pulled by the two small springs described above in the direction of the middle of the drawer and thus to an edge 32 of the control rail 10, so that the driver 7 is not in the first section of the guideways of the control rails 10 can move back. This fact is based on the enlarged section of the Fig. 11 recognizable. The end point x f of the load path Δx, at which the two energy accumulators 4 are fully charged, is reached where the drivers 7 have reached the pivot point 26 of the two pivot levers 25 (see Fig. 10 ), ie that the end point x f of the charging path .DELTA.x - regardless of Ausziehweg the drawer 2 - is located at a fixed relative to the furniture body 6 point. At this end point x f of the charging path .DELTA.x the leg spring of the two power storage 4 is maximally tensioned. Up to this end point x f , which is reached about 10 cm before reaching the closed position, the user must actively move the drawer 2. As soon as the end point x f is exceeded, the two energy accumulators 4 relax (until they reach the closed position) slightly again. Due to the released energy, the drawer 2 is now automatically pulled into the closed position. The ejection devices 3 thus simultaneously act as intake devices. Important in this context is also that the arrangement 1 in the preferred embodiment shown here in each case comprises a damping device 13 for damping the retraction movement of the intake device 3. More specifically, it is a fluid damper in the form of a linear damper with a piston-cylinder unit, said damper device 13 is connected to the carcass rail of the extension guides 18 and the furniture body 6 and the piston of this damper 13 to a laterally disposed on the drawer rail 19 abuts and attenuated in this way the retraction movement. Alternative damper types, which are known from the prior art (eg rotary damper), are of course not excluded from the idea of the invention. Fig. 13 shows the closed position of the drawer 2, which already on the basis of Fig. 3 has been described.

Anhand der Fig. 14 und 15 sei nun eine Schließbewegung aus einer mittleren, d.h. nicht vollständig geöffneten Position der Schublade 2 illustriert, wobei diese mittlere Position ebenfalls einer mögliche zweite Offenstellung der Schublade im Sinne des Anspruchs 1, die größer als die erste Offenstellung ist, darstellt. Während des Öffnungsvorgangs verrasten die freien Arme der beiden kleinen Kipphebel 22 (siehe Fig. 6), die jeweils an den oberen Enden der Steuerschienen 10 angeordnet sind, nach und nach an den Stufen der Verrastkontur 21. Fig. 14 zeigt eine mittlere Position der Schublade 2, bei der sich die freien Arme der beiden Kipphebel 22 auf der dritten Stufe der Verrastkontur 21 befinden. Möchte man nun die Schublade 2 schließen, so verrasten die beiden Steuerschienen 10 in diesen beiden Stellungen und legen damit den Anfangspunkt xi der Ladestrecke Δx fest. Vergleicht man die Fig. 14 mit der Fig. 10, so stellt man fest, dass die Ladestrecke Δx zum einen sehr viel kürzer ist und zum anderen der Neigungswinkel der Steuerschienen 10 in Bezug auf die Schubladenseitenwände größer ist. Das muss auch so sein, da ja nun über einen kürzeren Weg die gleiche Energie zum vollständigen Laden der Kraftspeicher 4 übertragen werden muss, d.h. dass mehr Kraft vom Nutzer zum Schließen der Schublade 2 bzw. zum Laden der Kraftspeicher 4 aufgebracht werden muss. Allgemein gesprochen ist also durch die Änderung der Lage der Steuerschienen 10 in Bezug auf die Schublade 2 bzw. den Möbelkorpus 6 die zum Laden der Kraftspeicher 4 aufzuwendende Kraft einstellbar.Based on FIGS. 14 and 15 Let now be a closing movement from a middle, ie not fully open position of the drawer 2 illustrated, this middle position also represents a possible second open position of the drawer in the sense of claim 1, which is greater than the first open position represents. During the opening process engage the free arms of the two small rocker arms 22 (see Fig. 6 ), which are respectively arranged at the upper ends of the control rails 10, gradually at the stages of Verrastkontur 21st Fig. 14 shows a middle position of the drawer 2, in which the free arms of the two rocker arms 22 are located on the third stage of Verrastkontur 21. If you now want to close the drawer 2, so lock the two control rails 10 in these two positions and thus set the starting point x i of the charging path .DELTA.x fixed. Comparing the Fig. 14 with the Fig. 10 Thus, it is found that the charging distance .DELTA.x on the one hand is much shorter and, on the other hand, that the angle of inclination of the control rails 10 with respect to the drawer side walls is greater. This must also be the case, since the same energy has to be transmitted for a complete charging of the energy storage device 4 over a shorter path, ie more force has to be applied by the user to close the drawer 2 or to load the energy storage device 4. Generally speaking, therefore, by changing the position of the control rails 10 with respect to the drawer 2 and the furniture body 6, the force expended for loading the energy storage device 4 adjustable.

In der Fig. 15 ist noch einmal die Position der Schublade 2 dargestellt, in welcher der Endpunkt der Ladestrecke Δx von den Mitnehmern 7 der Kraftspeicher 5 gerade überschritten wurden und ein teilweises Entladen der Kraftspeicher 4 beginnt, wodurch in weiterer Folge die Schublade 2 selbsttätig eingezogen wird.In the Fig. 15 Once again the position of the drawer 2 is shown, in which the end point of the loading distance .DELTA.x were just exceeded by the drivers 7 of the energy storage 5 and a partial unloading of the energy storage 4 begins, which subsequently the drawer 2 is automatically pulled.
