EP2992156B1 - Guiding assembly of a sliding door, a sliding door and a piece of furniture - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a piece of furniture with at least one sliding door according to the preamble of claim 1.

Generic guide arrangements for sliding doors of furniture, for example sliding door cabinets, are known in numerous design variants from the prior art, for example from US Pat WO 2012/159784 A1 . In these guide arrangements, the sliding door is usually suspended from one or more support levers, the support lever being movable on the one hand in a guide rail attached to the furniture body along the front surface of the furniture, and on the other hand being attached to the sliding door. With the help of this lever fastening of the sliding doors, it is also possible to slide sliding doors one above the other on parallel tracks.

The problem with the guide arrangements of sliding doors known from the prior art is that the area of the interior or storage space of the furniture that is covered by the sliding door in the closed state is not completely released when the sliding door is opened, since the sliding area of the sliding door due to the collision of the support lever with a Middle wall or a side wall of the furniture or with the further door to be driven over is restricted, so that the accessibility of the storage space covered by the sliding door in the closed state of the furniture is not possible in full width.

From the DE 20 2011 002 810 U1 a mechanism for a sliding door of a sliding door furniture is known, in which the sliding door has a pull-out guide rail which is held on two pivotable lever arms on the body of the furniture. Before the sliding door is moved when the sliding door furniture is opened, the sliding door is pivoted by means of the lever arms from a closed position plane into a sliding plane. In order to allow a complete opening of an area of the sliding-door furniture that is covered by the sliding door in the closed state, the pull-out guide rail has three elements that can be displaced relative to one another.

The object of the present invention is to improve a piece of furniture of the generic type in such a way that full accessibility to the storage space of the piece of furniture is made possible in a construction that is as simple as possible.

This object is achieved by a piece of furniture with the features of claim 1.

The furniture according to the invention is particularly characterized in that the door connection to which the support lever is coupled is made in several parts, a first door connection component being fixed in place on the sliding door and a second door connection component connected to the support lever being displaceable with the first door connection component in the direction of displacement of the sliding door is connected, the door connection components being displaceable relative to one another exactly by the distance that corresponds to the width of the sliding door connected to the first door connection component in the displacement direction minus the maximum displacement distance of the support lever along the guide rail.

This enables a relative movement of the two door connection components in the direction of the body width of the furniture body, so that the remaining distance for fully opening the sliding door is achieved by linear displacement of the two door connection components with respect to one another. There is also furniture in which several bodies are arranged next to one another, which are only closed by a door. The door can also be moved over several carcasses.

Advantageous variant embodiments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.

Depending on the size of the distance still to be covered to completely open the sliding door with the help of the door connection, a preferred embodiment variant provides that at least one third door connection component is connected to the second door connection component so as to be displaceable in the sliding direction of the sliding door.

This makes it possible for the respective interconnected door connection components to still engage with one another over a sufficiently large distance for predetermined distances to be covered in order to avoid that at the door connection components to be able to carry the attacking weight of the sliding door without any problems.

The door connection components can be displaced relative to one another by a distance which corresponds exactly to the width of the sliding door connected to the first door connection component in the displacement direction minus the maximum displacement distance of the support lever along the guide rail.

This ensures that the sliding door can be displaced by a distance corresponding to the width of the sliding door with the aid of the guide arrangement.

According to an advantageous embodiment variant of the invention, the door connection components are connected to one another via at least one return element, the return element holding the relative position of the door connection components in an open and / or closed position without the action of external force.

With this resetting element, which is preferably designed as a spring element, the door connection components are held in a predefined position relative to one another, in which the sliding door can be moved into its closed position.

According to a further preferred embodiment variant of the invention, the door connection components can be fixed, in particular latched, relative to one another in an opening and / or closing setting. This ensures that the respective defined positions and positions of the door connection components that can be displaced relative to one another are guaranteed. In addition, the latching in a closed position can be designed in such a way that the latching is only released when the support lever has reached the maximum displacement position. For example, a projection or some other area of the support lever interacts with the latch.

In the following description of the figures, terms such as above, below, left, right, front, rear etc. relate exclusively to the exemplary representation and position of the guide arrangement, door connection, sliding door, support lever and the like selected in the respective figures. These terms are not to be understood as restrictive, that is to say that these references can change as a result of different working positions or the mirror-symmetrical design or the like.

In Figure 1 The reference numeral 1 denotes a piece of furniture with sliding doors 2, 3 which, in their closed position, close the piece of furniture 1, for example in the form of a sliding door cabinet, lying flush in one plane.

To open the in Figure 1 Furniture 1 shown, one of the sliding doors 2, 3 is first moved from its closed position out of the plane common to the other sliding door 2, 3 into a parallel plane, for example pivoted or shifted, and then parallel to the front surface of the furniture 1 in front of the second sliding door 2, 3 pushed.

It is of course also conceivable to design the piece of furniture 1 with only one sliding door 2, 3.

As in the Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the sliding doors 2, 3 are fixed to a body 4 of the furniture 1 with the aid of a guide arrangement. The guide arrangement has a door connection 7 fastened to the sliding door 2, 3, which is fixed, for example screwed, to an inside of the sliding door 2, 3 facing the interior or storage space of the furniture 1.

A support lever 6 is attached to the door connection 7 and is movably arranged on a guide rail 5, which preferably extends over the entire width of the furniture 1 and is attached to a carcass top 41 or a carcass bottom 42 of the carcass 4 of the furniture 1. For this purpose, running wheels 62, which lie opposite one another in pairs and run in guide grooves 51 in guide rail 5, are preferably fixed to support lever 6. The term guide rail is to be understood broadly. According to this application, it includes protruding rails, but also grooves or other guideways. With a different design of the guide rail, only one or more than two running wheels can be used. The at least one guide element of the guide fitting can also be designed as a slider, roller or the like.

As in particular in the Figures 2 and 3 can be clearly seen, the door connection 7 is formed in several parts. A first door connection component 71 can be fixed in place on the sliding door 2, 3, for example screwed to the inside of the sliding door 2, 3 facing the storage space of the furniture 1 with the aid of screws 77.

A second door connection component 72, which is connected to the support lever 6, is connected to the first door connection component 71 so as to be displaceable in the displacement direction X of the sliding door 2, 3. This makes it possible that when the sliding door 2, 3 is moved by moving the support lever 6 along the guide rail 5 when the support lever 6 reaches an end position in which the support lever strikes, for example, another sliding door or a side wall 43, 44 of the body 4, which Sliding door 2, 3 can be displaced by a further distance S in the displacement direction X of the sliding door with the aid of two or more-part door connections 7.

The first door connection component 71 and the second door connection component 72 are preferably designed as pull-out guide components which are linearly displaceable relative to one another. The linear displaceability can be realized by sliders, rollers, balls or the like.

The support lever 6 is connected at an end 61 close to the door connection 7 to a connecting piece 78 of the second door connection component 72 that receives the support lever end 61. In the embodiment variant shown here, this connection piece 78 is designed as a substantially U-shaped sheet metal piece which surrounds the end 61 of the support lever 6 from three sides and thus ensures a stable connection between the door connection 7 and the support lever 6.

As in the Figures 5 and 6th can be seen, the connecting piece 78 has an elongated hole. As a result, a guide arrangement for furniture of different installation widths E can be used. The flexibility can also be realized in other ways, for example by means of a support lever with several fastening recesses

The starting position of the door connection components 71, 72 with respect to one another is shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, in which the door connection components 71, 72 have moved maximally into one another. Only in the in the Figures 7 to 9 The position shown, in which the sliding door 2, 3 is fully open and thus allows access to the storage space of the furniture 1 over the entire width of the sliding door 2, 3, the door connecting components 71, 72 are pushed apart in the direction of sliding of the sliding door 2, 3.

In order to maintain this retracted position of the door connection components 71, 72 before moving into the maximally open end position, the door connection components 71, 72 are connected to one another via a return element 74, preferably designed as a spring element, in which the return element 74 controls the relative position of the door connection components 71, 72 holds in the closed end position without external force, as for example in Figures 2 and 3 is shown.

The restoring element 74, designed here as a tension spring, is clamped with a first end on a holder element 76 of the first door connection component 71 and with a second end on a holder element 75 of the second door connection component 72, so that the two door connection components 71, 72 are pushed apart against the spring force of the formed as a tension spring return element 74 takes place.

To the door connection 7 on the one hand in the in the Figures 2 and 3 closing setting shown and on the other hand in the in the Figures 7 to 9 shown full extension position To hold, the door connection components 71, 72 can be fixed relative to one another in these positions, in particular can be latched or can be fixed in these positions, for example, by end position components such as stops.

The distance S by which the door connection components 71, 72 can be displaced relative to one another corresponds exactly to the width B of the sliding door 2, 3 connected to the first door connection component 71 in the displacement direction X minus the maximum displacement distance T of the support lever 6 along the guide rail 5.

According to the invention, the distance S of the sliding door 2, 3, which can only be displaced by the door connecting components 71, 72, corresponds exactly to the distance defined above, which is sufficient to be able to move a sliding door 2, 3 so far, despite reaching an obstacle for the displacement of the support lever 6, that the storage space area of the furniture 1, which is covered by the sliding door 2, 3 in the closed state, is accessible over its full width.

As in the Figures 2 and 3 can be seen, the guide rail 5 is extended at one end by an extension piece 8, which is attached to a carriage 9, which can be moved perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 5 and thus pulling the sliding door 2, 3 to the front of the furniture body 4 of the Furniture 1 enables.
