Description

Scharnier, insbesondere für ein Möbelstück  Hinge, especially for a piece of furniture
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier, insbesondere für ein Möbelstück, umfassend ein am Möbelkorpus oder einer daran angelenkten Korpustüre befestigbares Innenscharnierteil, ein an einer Außentüre befestigbares Außenscharnierteil, eine Verbindungsvorrichtung, welches das Innenscharnierteil mit dem Außenscharnierteil über drei Aufnahmevorrichtungen zueinander schwenkbar verbindet. Derartige Scharniere sind bereits bekannt und werden unter anderem in der Patentschrift DE 444 2625 A1 angezeigt. Diese Scharniere werden beispielsweise für ein Möbelstück verwendet, welches mit Falttüren ausgestattet ist. Durch die Scharniere werden die Falttüren zueinander drehbar verbunden, wobei die Verbindung der Scharnierhälften mit den Falttüren oftmals über form- oder kraftschlüssige Befestigungselemente stattfindet. Ein Scharnier ist meist zweiteilig ausgeführt, wobei die zwei Teile über ein Verbindungselement drehbar miteinander verbunden sind. Bei der Montage werden Falttüren meist an einem bereits aufgestellten Möbelkorpus befestigt. Dabei wird die erste Falttüre mit dem Möbelkorpus verbunden, und die weiteren Falttüren mittels der beschriebenen Scharniere an die erste Falttüre angehängt. Die Montage der Scharniere erfolgt an der Innenseite der Falttüren, um diese im geschlossenen Zustand der Falttüren zu verbergen. Der Spalt zwischen den montierten Falttüren sollte aus optischen Gründen so klein wie möglich sein, um beispielsweise im geschlossenen Zustand der Falttüren nicht in das Möbelstück einsehen zu können. The invention relates to a hinge, in particular for a piece of furniture, comprising an inner hinge part which can be fastened to the furniture carcass or a cabinet door hinged thereto, an outer hinge part which can be fastened to an outer door, a connecting device which connects the inner hinge part to the outer hinge part in a pivotable manner via three receiving devices. Such hinges are already known and are indicated inter alia in the patent DE 444 2625 A1. These hinges are used for example for a piece of furniture which is equipped with folding doors. Through the hinges, the folding doors are rotatably connected to each other, wherein the connection of the hinge halves with the folding doors often takes place via positive or non-positive fastening elements. A hinge is usually designed in two parts, wherein the two parts are rotatably connected to each other via a connecting element. During installation, folding doors are usually attached to an already installed furniture body. In this case, the first folding door is connected to the furniture body, and attached the other folding doors by means of the hinges described to the first folding door. The hinges are mounted on the inside of the folding doors in order to hide them when the folding doors are closed. For visual reasons, the gap between the mounted folding doors should be as small as possible, so that, for example, when the folding doors are closed, they can not be seen in the piece of furniture.
Insbesondere bei großen und schweren Falttüren ist es oft kompliziert, eine Falttüre an eine bereits am Möbelkorpus befestigte Falttüre anzubauen. Die Falttüre muss zum einen angehoben, ausgerichtet, gehalten und mit dem Scharnier verbunden werden. Oftmals muss die Person, welche das Möbelstück zusammenbaut, die Falttüre während dem Verbinden mit den Scharnieren ausrichten, halten und gleichzeitig verschrauben, wenn keine zweite Person zur Verfügung steht, welche Hilfe leisten kann. Zusätzlich ist es schwierig, mit den Fingern in den sehr engen Spalt zwischen den Falttüren zu greifen, um die Falttüre halten und positionieren zu können. Alle diese Nachteile gelten nicht nur für die Montage der Falttüren, sondern auch für die Demontage im Falle von z.B. einem Umzug, wenn das Möbelstück abgebaut werden sollte. Ohne eine weitere Person oder ohne technische Hilfsmittel muss ständig darauf geachtet werden, beispielsweise den Sitz der form- oder kraftschlüssigen Befestigungselemente zwischen Scharnier und der Falttüre nicht zu beschädigen, wenn diese demontiert werden. Bei Scharnieren, welche mit einem Zapfen ausgestattet sind, muss die Falttüre von oben in den Zapfen eingeführt werden. Dies ist oftmals aufgrund der Proportionen bzw. auch des Gewichtes der Falttüre sehr schwierig, vor allem dann, wenn der Spalt zwischen den Türen sehr klein ist. Bei einem hohen Gewicht und scharfen Kanten an den Türen herrscht zusätzlich sogar eine erhebliche Verletzungsgefahr für die Finger. Especially with large and heavy folding doors, it is often complicated to grow a folding door to a already attached to the furniture body folding door. The folding door must first be raised, aligned, held and connected to the hinge. Often, the person who assembles the piece of furniture must hold the folding door while connecting to the hinges, hold it and at the same time screw it in, if there is no second person available who can provide assistance. In addition, it is difficult to reach into the very narrow gap between the folding doors with your fingers in order to hold and position the folding door. All these disadvantages apply not only to the assembly of the folding doors, but also for disassembly in the case of, for example, a move if the furniture should be dismantled. Without another person or without technical aids, care must be taken constantly not to damage, for example, the seat of the positive or non-positive fastening elements between the hinge and the folding door when they are dismounted. For hinges, which are equipped with a pin, the Folding door can be inserted from above into the pin. This is often very difficult due to the proportions or the weight of the folding door, especially if the gap between the doors is very small. In addition, with a high weight and sharp edges on the doors there is even a considerable risk of injury to the fingers.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die vorbeschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessertes Scharnier anzugeben. Dieses Scharnier sollte es beispielsweise ermöglichen, die Falttüren ohne die Zuhilfenahme von einer weiteren Person, bzw. einem Hilfsmittel wie beispielsweise einer Stütze, zu montieren. Weiters sollte es möglich sein, die Falttüren von einander trennen zu können, ohne ein Werkzeug dafür verwenden zu müssen. Ein umständliches Anheben, Positionieren und daraufhin folgendes Verschrauben oder Einfädeln in Zapfen sollte verhindert werden. Das Verhindern von eingeklemmten Fingern mit den darauffolgenden Verletzungen ist ein sich aus der Einfachheit der Montage bildender Vorteil. The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a comparison with the prior art improved hinge.

Arbeitsschritten Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand von bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die einzelne Figur näher erläutert. Figur 1 a zeigt einen Möbelkorpus 6 mit bereits montierten Falttüren 12, 13. Die am Möbelkorpus 6 fixierte Korpustüre 12 ist bereits mit Scharnieren 1 derselben oder einer anderen Bauart am Möbelkorpus schwenkbar befestigt. An der Korpustüre 12 befindet sich der Innenscharnierteil 2 des Scharniers 1 . An der Außentüre 13, einer weiteren Falttüre, befindet sich der Außenscharnierteil 3. Je nach Gewicht und Proportion der Falttüren wird die Anzahl der Scharniere 1 bestimmt. Der Innenscharnierteil 2 und der Außenscharnierteil 3 werden miteinander durch die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 verlinkt. Durch die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 sind daraufhin Falttüren zueinander drehbar gelagert. steps The invention will be explained in more detail by means of preferred embodiments with reference to the single figure. Figure 1 a shows a furniture carcass 6 with already mounted folding doors 12, 13. The fixed to the furniture body 6 cabinet door 12 is already pivotally attached to the furniture body with hinges 1 of the same or another type. On the cabinet door 12 is the inner hinge part 2 of the hinge. 1 On the outer door 13, another folding door, there is the outer hinge part 3. Depending on the weight and proportion of the folding doors, the number of hinges 1 is determined. The inner hinge part 2 and the outer hinge part 3 are linked with each other by the connecting device 4. Folding doors are then rotatably supported by the connecting device 4.
Figur 1 b zeigt eine Korpustüre 12 und einer Außentüre 13, welche durch vier Scharniere 1 miteinander verbunden sind. Durch die Scharniere 1 sind die Falttüren 12, 13 zueinander schwenkbar gelagert. Figure 1 b shows a cabinet door 12 and an outer door 13, which are interconnected by four hinges 1. By the hinges 1, the folding doors 12, 13 are pivotally mounted to each other.
Figur 2 zeigt ein Scharnier 1 im eingebauten Zustand an eine Korpustüre 12 und eine Außentüre 13, wobei das Scharnier 1 über die Befestigungsabschnitte 17 an die Flügeltür 12, 13 montiert werden kann. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel würde die Befestigung mittels Schrauben stattfinden. Das Innenscharnierteil 2 des Scharniers 1 besteht aus einem Grundkörper 5 und einem Linearschieber 8, welcher die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a beinhaltet. Der Linearschieber 8 lässt sich auf dem Grundkörper 5 durch einen von dem Grundkörper 5 ausgebildeten Laufsteg 31 verschieben, wobei der Linearschieber 8 die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a dabei durch seine Ausformung den Laufsteg 31 an der Ober- und Unterkante umschließt. Weiters bildet der Grundkörper 5 eine Oberlasche 9 aus, welche die obere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c beinhaltet. Der an der Außentüre 13 befestigte Außenscharnierteil 3, durch eine Zwischenlasche 18 gekennzeichnet, sitzt mit ihrer mittleren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a zwischen den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 30a und 30c, welche durch das Innenscharnierteil 2 ausgebildet werden. Die drei Aufnahmevorrichtungen 30a, 30b, 30c sind über die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 miteinander verbunden. FIG. 2 shows a hinge 1 when installed on a cabinet door 12 and an outer door 13, wherein the hinge 1 can be mounted on the hinged door 12, 13 via the fastening sections 17. In this embodiment, the attachment would take place by means of screws. The inner hinge part 2 of the hinge 1 consists of a main body 5 and a linear slide 8, which includes the lower receiving device 30a. The linear slide 8 can be moved on the main body 5 by a catwalk 31 formed by the main body 5, wherein the linear slide 8 encloses the lower receiving device 30a by its formation the catwalk 31 at the top and bottom edges. Furthermore, the main body 5 forms a top flap 9, which includes the upper receiving device 30c. The outer hinge part 3 fastened to the outer door 13, characterized by an intermediate flap 18, sits with its middle receiving device 30a between the receiving devices 30a and 30c, which are formed by the inner hinge part 2. The three receiving devices 30a, 30b, 30c are connected to one another via the connecting device 4.
Figur 3 zeigt die einzelnen Bestandteile des Scharniers 1 in einer Explosionszeichnung. Der Grundkörper 5 mit seiner angeformten Laufbahn 32 weist zwei Verriegelungspunkte 32a und 32b auf. In diese Verriegelungspunkte 32a und 32b kann in weiterer Folge die Kugel 15 des Verriegelungselements 7 eingreifen. Im zusammengebauten Zustand des Innenscharnierteiles 2 wird die Kugel 15 durch die Feder 22, abhängig von der Position des Linearschiebers 8 in den Verriegelungspunkt 32a oder 32b gedrückt. Daraus ergeben sich zwei definierte Wirkbereiche des Linearschiebers 8. Befindet sich das Verriegelungselement 7 beispielsweise im Verriegelungspunkt 32a, so ist die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a des Linearschiebers 8 an einer exponierteren Stelle des Innenscharnierteiles 2 als die obere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c an der Oberlasche 9. In anderen Worten steht die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a weiter vom Innenscharnierteil 2 ab als die obere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c. Befindet sich das Verriegelungselement 7 im Verriegelungspunkt 32b, steht die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a genau unter der oberen Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c. Die Federkraft der Feder 22 ist dabei ausreichend stark, dass der Linearschieber 8 sich nicht mehr von selbst aus seiner Position befreien kann - auch dann nicht, wenn beispielsweise das Außenscharnierteil 3 samt Außentüre 13 an der unteren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a des Linearschiebers 8 aufgesetzt wird. Figure 3 shows the individual components of the hinge 1 in an exploded view. The main body 5 with its integrally formed track 32 has two locking points 32a and 32b. In this locking points 32a and 32b can subsequently engage the ball 15 of the locking element 7. In the assembled state of the inner hinge part 2, the ball 15 by the spring 22, depending on the position of the linear slide 8 in the Locking point 32a or 32b pressed. If the locking element 7 is located, for example, in the locking point 32a, the lower receiving device 30a of the linear slider 8 is at a more exposed point of the inner hinge part 2 than the upper receiving device 30c on the upper flap 9. In other words the lower receiving device 30a further from the inner hinge part 2 than the upper receiving device 30c. If the locking element 7 is located in the locking point 32b, the lower receiving device 30a is located exactly below the upper receiving device 30c. The spring force of the spring 22 is sufficiently strong that the linear slide 8 can not free itself from its position - even then, for example, if the outer hinge part 3 together with the outer door 13 is placed on the lower receiving device 30a of the linear slide 8.
Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 ist durch zwei Montagebereiche 35a und 35b gekennzeichnet. Die hier als Ausnehmungen im Verbindungselement 4 ausgeformten Montagebereiche 35a und 35b wirken zusammen mit der Arretiervorrichtung 26. Die Arretierungsvorrichtung 26 besteht, wie auch das Verriegelungselement 7, aus einer Feder 22 und einer Kugel 15. Die Arretiervorrichtung 26 ist ein Bestandteil des Linearschiebers 8 und wirkt auf die als Ausnehmungen ausgeformten Montagebereiche 35a und 35b des Verbindungselements 4. Die Federkraft der Feder 22 ist dabei stark genug, um die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 selbst bei einwirkenden Kräften, ausgeübt durch die Falttüren 12 und 13 in ihrer Position zu halten. Aufgrund der besseren Lagerungs- und Gleiteigenschaften werden zwischen den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 30a, 30b und 30c Lagerringe 28 eingesetzt. Daraus ergibt sich auch eine exakte Positionierung der Aufnahmevorrichtungen 30a, 30b und 30c - zueinander, in anderen Worten, eine genau definierte Position der Zwischenlasche 18 zwischen der Oberlasche 9 und dem Linearschieber 8. The connection device 4 is characterized by two mounting areas 35a and 35b. The here formed as recesses in the connecting element 4 mounting portions 35a and 35b act together with the locking device 26. The locking device 26 consists, as well as the locking element 7, a spring 22 and a ball 15. The locking device 26 is a part of the linear slide 8 and acts The spring force of the spring 22 is strong enough to hold the connecting device 4 even with acting forces exerted by the folding doors 12 and 13 in their position on the formed as recesses mounting portions 35a and 35b of the connecting element. Due to the better storage and sliding properties between the receiving devices 30a, 30b and 30c bearing rings 28 are used. This also results in an exact positioning of the receiving devices 30a, 30b and 30c to each other, in other words, a well-defined position of the intermediate plate 18 between the upper flap 9 and the linear slide. 8
Figur 4a zeigt eine vorbereitete Korpustüre 12 mit einer vorbereiteten Außentüre 13, wobei das Innenscharnierteil 2 des Scharniers 1 noch nicht mit dem Außenscharnierteil 3 verbunden ist. Dies zeigt den vorbereitenden Montageschritt vor dem Zusammenbau der Falttüren 12 und 13. Figur 4b zeigt ein montiertes Innenscharnierteil 2 an einer Korpustüre 12 bzw. ein Außenscharnierteil 3 an einer Außentüre 13 im nicht verbundenen Zustand. Die Montage der Scharnierteile 2, 3 an den Falttüren 12, 13 kann beispielsweise mittels Schrauben, welche am Befestigungsabschnitt 17 gesetzt werden, erfolgen. Durch die trennbare Ausführung der Scharnieteile 2, 3 ist es möglich, die Scharnierteile 2 und 3 vor dem Ausrichten der Falttüren 12, 13 zu montieren. Hierzu können die Türen 12, 13 beispielsweise auch im liegenden Zustand am Boden oder auf einer Arbeitsunterlage aufgelegt werden und müssen nicht im stehenden Zustand montiert werden. Sind die Scharnierteile 2 und 3 zueinander passend an den Falttüren 12, 13 montiert, kann als nächster Montageschritt jeder Linearschieber 8 der montierten Innenscharnierteile 2 in seinen Verriegelungspunkt 32a gebracht werden, sodass er weiter von den Innenscharnierteilen 2 absteht. Das Verriegelungselement 7 verriegelt in dieser Position den Linearschieber 8. Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 kann bei diesem Montageschritt noch weggelassen werden, oder auch schon zum Teil in der unteren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a eingesetzt werden - je nach Belieben der Person, welche das Möbelstück zusammenbaut. Nun wird die Außentüre 13 mit der durch die obere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c ausgebildeten Auflagefläche der Zwischenlasche 18 auf die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a mitsamt dem eingesetzten Ringlager 28 aufgelegt. Liegt die mittlere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a über der unteren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a, sind die Fairtüren 12 und 13 zueinander korrekt positioniert und ein erster Montageschritt ist erfolgt. Figure 4a shows a prepared cabinet door 12 with a prepared outer door 13, wherein the inner hinge part 2 of the hinge 1 is not yet connected to the outer hinge part 3. This shows the preparatory assembly step before the assembly of the folding doors 12 and 13. Figure 4b shows a mounted inner hinge part 2 on a cabinet door 12 and a Außenscharnierteil 3 on an outer door 13 in the unconnected state. The assembly of the hinge parts 2, 3 on the folding doors 12, 13 can be done, for example, by means of screws, which are placed on the mounting portion 17. Due to the separable design of the hinge parts 2, 3, it is possible to mount the hinge parts 2 and 3 before the alignment of the folding doors 12, 13. For this purpose, the doors 12, 13 may for example be placed in the lying state on the floor or on a work surface and do not have to be mounted in a standing position. Are the hinge parts 2 and 3 matching each other on the folding doors 12, 13 mounted, can be brought as the next assembly step, each linear slide 8 of the assembled inner hinge parts 2 in its locking point 32 a, so that it protrudes further from the inner hinge parts 2. The locking element 7 locks in this position, the linear slide 8. The connecting device 4 can be omitted in this assembly step, or even partially used in the lower receiving device 30a - depending on the discretion of the person who assembles the piece of furniture. Now, the outer door 13 is placed with the formed by the upper receiving device 30c support surface of the intermediate plate 18 on the lower receiving device 30a together with the inserted ring bearing 28. If the middle receiving device 30a is above the lower receiving device 30a, the fair doors 12 and 13 are correctly positioned relative to one another and a first assembly step has taken place.
Figur 5a zeigt die grob zueinander positionierten Falttüren 12, 13, wobei die Außentüre 13 mit ihrem montierten Außenscharnierteil 3 auf dem Innenscharnierteil 2 der Korpustüre 12 aufliegt. FIG. 5a shows the coarsely positioned folding doors 12, 13, wherein the outer door 13 with its mounted outer hinge part 3 rests on the inner hinge part 2 of the cabinet door 12.
Figur 5b zeigt im Detail wie die Mittlere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a nun über der unteren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a positioniert ist und die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 von unten in die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a eingeschoben werden kann. Erkennbar ist der breite Spalt x zwischen den Falttüren 12 und 13, welcher es erleichtert, die Außentüre 13 exakt zur Korpustüre 12 zu positionieren, da man beide Seiten der Außentüre 13 angreifen kann. Aufgrund dieses breiten Spaltes x kann die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 auch von Außen zugänglich eingeschoben werden. Die Verletzungsgefahr durch ein Einklemmen der Finger oder Hände ist dabei geringer als bei handelsüblichen Scharnieren. Figur 6a zeigt zwei Falttüren 12, 13, welche durch das Scharnier 1 zueinander positioniert sind, wobei sich die Außentüre 13 nun am Scharnier 1 abstützt und nicht mehr gehalten werden muss. Figure 5b shows in detail how the middle receiving device 30a is now positioned over the lower receiving device 30a and the connecting device 4 can be inserted from below into the lower receiving device 30a. Visible is the wide gap x between the folding doors 12 and 13, which makes it easier to position the outer door 13 exactly to the cabinet door 12, since you can attack both sides of the outer door 13. Because of this wide gap x, the connecting device 4 can also be inserted accessible from the outside. The risk of injury by pinching the fingers or hands is less than in commercial hinges. Figure 6a shows two folding doors 12, 13, which are positioned by the hinge 1 to each other, wherein the outer door 13 is now supported on the hinge 1 and no longer needs to be held.
Figur 6b zeigt wie nun die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 in ihren ersten Montagebereich 35a eingeschoben wurde. Im Montagebereich 35a hält die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 aufgrund der Verbindung mit der unteren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a bzw. der mittleren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30b die Außentüre 13. Sind, wie in Figur 6a dargestellt, mehrere Scharniere 1 verbaut, können nun alle Verbindungsvorrichtungen 4 in die Montagebereiche 35a geschoben werden. Durch den spürbaren Widerstand beim Einrasten der Arretierungsvorrichtung 26 in die Ausnehmung des Montagebereich 35a, bzw. durch ein Klickgeräusch, das entsteht, wenn die Kugel 15 der Arretiervorrichtung 26 in die Ausnehmung der Montagebereiche 35a, 35b rutscht, ist bemerkbar, dass sich die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 im gewünschten Montagebereich 35a, 35b befindet. Figur 7a zeigt einen der letzten Montageschritte bei der Montage der Falttüren 12, 13, wobei nun der Spalt y zwischen den Falttüren 12, 13 eingestellt wird. Figure 6b shows how now the connecting device 4 has been inserted into its first mounting portion 35a. In the assembly area 35a, the connecting device 4 holds the outer door 13 due to the connection with the lower receiving device 30a or the middle receiving device 30b. If, as shown in FIG. 6a, several hinges 1 are installed, all connecting devices 4 can now be pushed into the mounting areas 35a. By the noticeable resistance when locking the locking device 26 in the recess of the mounting portion 35a, or by a clicking sound, which arises when the ball 15 of the locking device 26 slips into the recess of the mounting portions 35a, 35b is noticeable that the connection device 4 is in the desired mounting area 35a, 35b. Figure 7a shows one of the last assembly steps in the assembly of the folding doors 12, 13, wherein now the gap y between the folding doors 12, 13 is adjusted.
Figur 7b zeigt im Detail das vorbereitende Anpassen des Spalts y für das darauffolgende Verriegeln der Scharniere 1 . Um den gewünschten Spalt zwischen den Falttüren 12, 13 zu erreichen, wird nun die Außentüre 13 mit den montierten Außenscharnierteilen 3, welche über die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 mit dem Linearschieber 8 verbunden sind, gegen die Korpustüre 12 gedrückt. Die so aufgebrachte Kraft übersteigt die Federkraft der Feder 22 im Verriegelungselement 7. Die über die Feder 22 vorgespannte Kugel 15 des Verriegelungselements 7 rutscht dabei aus ihrem Verriegelungspunkt 32a. Der Linearschieber 8 bewegt sich über den Laufsteg 31 bis sich die Kugel 15 des Verriegelungselements 7 im Verriegelungspunkt 32b setzt. Arretiert der Linearschieber 8 im Verriegelungspunkt 32b, befindet sich die untere Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a des Linearschiebers 8 gemeinsam mit der oberen Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c der Zwischenlasche 18 exakt unter der oberen Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c der Oberlasche 9. Der Spalt y zwischen der Korpustüre 12 und der Außentüre 13 ist somit eingestellt und die Verriegelung über die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 ist vorbereitet. FIG. 7b shows in detail the preliminary adaptation of the gap y for the subsequent locking of the hinges 1. In order to achieve the desired gap between the folding doors 12, 13, the outer door 13 is now pressed against the cabinet door 12 with the mounted outer hinge parts 3, which are connected via the connecting device 4 with the linear slide 8. The force thus applied exceeds the spring force of the spring 22 in the locking element 7. The biased by the spring 22 ball 15 of the locking element 7 slips out of its locking point 32a. The linear slide 8 moves over the catwalk 31 until the ball 15 of the locking element 7 sets in the locking point 32b. Locked the linear slide 8 in the locking point 32b, the lower receiving device 30a of the linear slide 8 is located together with the upper receiving device 30c of the intermediate plate 18 exactly below the upper receiving device 30c of the upper flap 9. The gap y between the cabinet door 12 and the outer door 13 is thus adjusted and the lock via the connection device 4 is prepared.
Figur 8a zeigt eine Korpustüre 12 und eine Außentüre 13 im fertig zusammengebauten, verriegelten Zustand des Scharniers 1. FIG. 8 a shows a cabinet door 12 and an outer door 13 in the fully assembled, locked state of the hinge 1.
Figur 8b zeigt wie die Verbindungsvornchtung 4 vollständig in die Aufnahmevorrichtungen 30a, 30b, 30c eingeschoben wurde. Dies stellt den Montagebereich 35b des Verbindungselementes 4 zusammenwirkend mit der Arretierungsvorrichtung 26 dar. Das Gewicht der Außentüre 13 hängt somit nicht nur mehr an der durch die Feder 22 vorgespannten Kugel 15 des Verriegelungselements 7, sondern wird durch die Verbindung zwischen Aufnahmevorrichtung 30c der Oberlasche 9 und Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 zusammenwirkend mit der unteren Aufnahmevorrichtung 30a des Linearschiebers 8 aufgenommen. FIG. 8b shows how the connecting device 4 was completely inserted into the receiving devices 30a, 30b, 30c. This represents the mounting portion 35b of the connecting element 4 cooperating with the locking device 26. The weight of the outer door 13 thus depends not only more on the prestressed by the spring 22 ball 15 of the locking element 7, but by the connection between the receiving device 30c of the upper flap 9 and Connecting device 4 cooperatively received with the lower receiving device 30a of the linear slide 8.
Sollten die Falttüren 12, 13 voneinander getrennt werden, muss nur die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 nach unten gezogen werden, bis sie in den Montagebereich 35a einrastet. In weiterer Folge kann man durch Ziehen an der Außentüre 13 den Linearschieber in den Verriegelungspunkt 32a ziehen. Durch schrittweises Herausnehmen der Verbindungsvorrichtungen 4 kann somit die Außentüre 13 von der Korpustüre 12 getrennt werden. If the folding doors 12, 13 are separated from each other, only the connecting device 4 has to be pulled downwards until it engages in the mounting area 35a. Subsequently, by pulling on the outer door 13, the linear slide into the locking point Pull 32a. By stepwise removal of the connecting devices 4 thus the outer door 13 can be separated from the cabinet door 12.
