The object is achieved by a holding arrangement for a cabinet with a body and a hinged thereto hinged folding lid, wherein the folding lid an upper lid member and a lower lid member, which are pivotally connected to each other, has. The holding element comprises an arm which is pivotably articulated to the lower lid member. Furthermore, an adjusting device is provided with a fastening element and an eccentric. The fastening element can be fixed to the body or to the lower cover element. The eccentric is mounted rotatably about an eccentric axis on the fastening element, wherein the arm is pivotally connected about a parallel to the eccentric axis arranged pivot axis with the eccentric.

As a result, a simple adjustability of the arm, preferably on the body-side end, allows, being made possible by simply adjusting the eccentric adjustment. Preferably, the eccentric is so connected to the fastener that no separate fasteners must be provided. Here, the eccentric may be connected to the fastening element such that frictional forces are produced which prevent the eccentric from rotating when the holding arrangement is used as intended and only a rotation of the eccentric, for example via a tool, is made possible for adjusting the holding arrangement. Upon rotation of the eccentric, the pivot axis is moved about the eccentric axis and thus adjusted relative to the body.

Preferably, the eccentric on a circular outer peripheral surface on which the arm is pivotally mounted with a receiving bore about the pivot axis. Thus, the eccentric itself forms the bearing for the arm.

It may be provided an actuating unit, which has a power drive to pressurize the folding lid at least from an intermediate position in the direction of an open position with force. Here, the actuator on an actuating arm, which is driven by the power drive and which is pivotally hinged on the one hand to the body and on the other hand on the folding lid. Thus, it can be made possible via the power drive, that the folding lid at least from an intermediate position to the open position automatically moves up. Alternatively, the power drive can also be designed such that the folding lid is held in the pivoting range between the intermediate position and the open position in any position.

In this case, the actuating arm can be pivoted on the upper cover element. Preferably, the upper lid member is then not connected via further hinges with the body. Here, the arm can serve as a control arm which controls the movement of the lower lid member. In order to provide a compact structure of the holding arrangement, the actuating arm may be pivotally hinged to the fastening element.

Alternatively, the actuator arm can be represented by the arm itself. Thus, the arm does not serve as a control arm, but drives the lid. Here, a hinge is provided, which connects the upper lid member pivotally connected to the body.

The object is further achieved by a folding lid with a holding arrangement described above, wherein the folding lid comprises an upper lid member and a lower lid member. The upper cover element is pivotally connected to the body about a carcass axis. The lower lid member is pivotally connected to a lid axis with the upper lid member. In this case, the body axis and the lid axis are preferably arranged parallel to one another and horizontally.

A preferred embodiment of a holding arrangement according to the invention is explained below with reference to the figures. Herein shows

FIG. 1

a cabinet with a holding arrangement in longitudinal section, wherein a folding lid of the cabinet is mounted with a too large clearance to a cabinet of the cabinet;

FIG. 2

the cabinet with holding arrangement according to FIG. 1 with correctly adjusted folding lid, and

FIG. 3

the cabinet with holding arrangement according to FIG. 1 with the folding lid in an intermediate position.

The FIGS. 1 to 3 show a holding arrangement 1 according to the invention of a cabinet 2 in different positions and will be described together below. The cabinet 2 comprises a body 3 and a folding lid 4, which closes a compartment of the cabinet 2 and from an in FIG. 2 shown closed position via an in FIG. 3 shown intermediate position can be adjusted to an upper open position, not shown here.

The folding lid 4 comprises an upper cover element 5, which is fastened pivotably about a carcase axis K on the carcass 3. Furthermore, the folding lid 4 comprises a lower cover element 6, which is pivotably connected about a lid axis D with the upper lid element 5. On the lower cover member 6, an arm 7 is articulated, wherein the arm 7 is held about an arm axis A pivotally to the lower cover member 6. The arm 7 is further hinged about a pivot axis S pivotally mounted on the body 3. The pivot axis S goes from the enlarged detail E in FIG. 2 out. The arm 7 is adjustable via an adjusting device 8. More precisely, the pivot axis S is adjustable via the adjusting device 8. For this purpose, the adjusting device 8, as shown in the detail E in FIG. 2 can be seen, a fastening element 9, which is in the form of a mounting plate and is attached to a side wall of the body 3. On the fastening element 9, an eccentric 10 is pivotally mounted about an eccentric axis X. The eccentric axis X is arranged at a distance from the pivot axis S, the eccentric axis X and the pivot axis S extending parallel to one another. The eccentric 10 has an outer peripheral surface 11, on which the arm 7 is arranged with a receiving bore 12. The outer peripheral surface 11 thus serves as a bearing surface on which the arm 7 is mounted with its receiving bore 12. By rotating the eccentric 10 about the eccentric axis X thus the pivot axis S moves around the eccentric axis X around, whereby the articulation point of the arm 7 is adjusted relative to the body 3. As a result, the arm axis A is adjusted relative to the body 3. In FIG. 1 the eccentric 10 is in a zero position, in which the eccentric axis X and the pivot axis S define a plane which is arranged horizontally. In FIG. 2 was the eccentric 10 rotated by about 45 ° clockwise, so that the pivot axis S vertically upwards and slightly into the body 3 into adjusted has been. It can be seen that this results in the non-uniform gap between the folding lid 4 and the body 3 according to FIG. 1 in FIG. 2 could be eliminated.

The holding arrangement 1 further comprises an adjusting unit 13, which is fastened to the body 3. The fastening element 9 is part of the setting unit 13. The setting unit 13 has a power drive 14, which is shown here only schematically. The power drive 14 serves the folding lid 4 at least from his in FIG. 3 shown intermediate position in the direction of the open position to apply force. It can be provided that the folding lid 4 moves automatically from the intermediate position into the open position, or that the folding lid 4 is held in any position between the intermediate position and the open position. The power drive 14 may be, for example, a spring accumulator or a gas spring. Other drives, such as electric drives with electric motor, are also conceivable. The adjusting unit 13 comprises an actuating arm 15, which is driven by the power drive 14. The actuating arm 15 is pivotally connected to the body 3 and pivotally connected to the upper lid member 5 on the one hand. The upper cover element 5 is not connected to the body 3 via another hinge, for example a stuffing hinge. Apart from the articulation via the lower cover element 6 and the arm 7, the upper cover element 5 is connected exclusively via the setting unit 13 with the body 3. In this case, the setting unit 13 may comprise a parallelogram arrangement, the component of which is the setting arm 15, so that the body axis K can certainly move in space relative to the body 3.

Basically, all axes, i. Body axis, lid axis, arm axis, pivot axis and eccentric axis parallel to each other and arranged horizontally.

Alternatively, it can be provided that the arm 7 is designed as an actuating arm, wherein the power drive 14 would drive the arm 7 or the actuating arm 15. Thus, contrary to the embodiment according to the FIGS. 1 to 3 , not the upper lid member 5 driven by the actuator, but the lower lid member 6. In this embodiment, the upper lid member 5 would be connected via a hinge to the body 3.

In principle, it is also conceivable that no actuating unit 13 with power drive 14 is provided is, but the upper lid member 5 is connected via a hinge to the body 3. Here, the geometry of the articulation of the folding lid 4 may be designed such that the folding lid in the upper position exceeds a dead center and is held independently in the open position.
