Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Möbelscharnier zur Verbindung von zwei Möbelteilen, umfassend ein erstes Gelenkteil, das an einem bewegbaren Möbelteil anbringbar ist, und ein zweites Gelenkteil, welches an einem weiteren Möbelteil anbringbar ist, so dass das bewegbare Möbelteil mit dem an den Möbelteilen angebrachten Möbelscharnier relativ zum weiteren Möbelteil bewegbar ist, wobei das Möbelscharnier genau eine Gelenkachse zur gelenkigen Verbindung des ersten Gelenkteils mit dem zweiten Gelenkteil aufweist, so dass die beiden Gelenkteile aus einer Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers, in welcher die beiden Gelenkteile räumlich einander angenähert sind, in Richtung einer Offenstellung des Möbelscharniers relativ zueinander ausschwenkbar und wieder in Richtung der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers einschwenkbar sind.The invention is based on a furniture hinge for connection of two furniture parts, comprising a first joint part which can be attached to a movable furniture part, and a second joint part which can be attached to a further furniture part, so that the movable furniture part with the furniture hinge attached to the furniture parts is movable relative to the further furniture part, wherein the furniture hinge has exactly one hinge axis for the articulated connection of the first hinge part to the second hinge part, so that the two hinge parts can be pivoted out of a closed position of the furniture hinge, in which the two joint parts are spatially approached, in the direction of an open position of the furniture hinge relative to each other and back in Can be pivoted in the direction of the closed position of the furniture hinge.

Vorzugsweise ist das Möbelscharnier als eine Einheit ausgebildet, welche an Abschnitten des Möbels bzw. eines Möbelkorpus einerseits und eines bewegbaren Möbelteils andererseits montierbar ist, zum Beispiel in wenigen Handgriffen anschraubbar ist.The furniture hinge is preferably designed as a unit, which can be mounted on sections of the furniture or a furniture body on the one hand and a movable furniture part on the other hand, for example can be screwed on in a few simple steps.

In der Regel sind zwei oder mehr gleichartige oder identische Möbelscharniere für ein Möbelteil vorgesehen, um dieses am Möbelkorpus schwenkbar und stabil gelagert anzubringen.As a rule, two or more similar or identical furniture hinges are provided for a furniture part in order to attach it to the furniture body in a pivotable and stable manner.

Standardmäßig sind am Möbel, insbesondere innenseitig an dem bewegbaren Möbelteil und an dem Möbelkorpus passend auf die jeweiligen Gelenkteile des Möbelscharniers vorbereitete Anbringabschnitte wie z. B. Bohrungen und/oder Einsetzvertiefungen bzw. Materialausnehmungen vorhanden, in welche Abschnitte des betreffenden Gelenkteils und/oder Befestigungselemente für das Möbelscharnier eingreifen. Damit wird eine mechanisch stabile Verbindung und eine platzsparende Anordnung der Gelenkteile und damit des Möbelscharniers am Möbel erreicht.As standard, on the furniture, in particular on the inside of the movable furniture part and on the furniture body, there are prepared attachment sections such as, for example, on the respective joint parts of the furniture hinge. B. bores and / or insertion depressions or material recesses are present in which sections of the relevant joint part and / or fastening elements for the furniture hinge engage. This achieves a mechanically stable connection and a space-saving arrangement of the joint parts and thus of the furniture hinge on the furniture.

Die Gelenkteile sind in Zusammenwirkung mit den Anbringabschnitten vorteilhaft nur exakt richtig positioniert und ausgerichtet am Möbel anbringbar.
Das Möbelscharnier ist bevorzugt als eine Montageeinheit im bleibend verbundenen Zustand der beiden Gelenkteile bereitgestellt. Das Möbelscharnier weist vorbereitet gestaltete Abschnitte für beispielsweise Schraub-, Steck- und/oder Dübelmittel auf, mit denen das Möbelscharnier am bewegbaren Möbelteil und dem Möbelkorpus fixierbar ist.In cooperation with the attachment sections, the joint parts can advantageously only be positioned exactly correctly and attached to the furniture in an aligned manner.
The furniture hinge is preferred as an assembly unit in the permanently connected state of the two joint parts provided. The furniture hinge has prepared sections for screw, plug and / or dowel means, for example, with which the furniture hinge can be fixed on the movable furniture part and the furniture body.

Das Möbelscharnier gibt konstruktiv bedingt einen maximal möglicher Schwenkwinkel vor, welcher mit dem Schwenkwinkel des bewegbaren Möbelteils, wenn dieses mit dem Möbelscharnier am Möbel montiert ist, korreliert. Die Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers entspricht dabei einer Schließstellung des bewegbaren Möbelteils am Möbelkorpus, wie auch die Offenstellung des Möbelscharniers einer Offenstellung des bewegbaren Möbelteils am Möbelkorpus entspricht.Due to its design, the furniture hinge specifies a maximum possible swivel angle which correlates with the swivel angle of the movable furniture part when it is mounted on the furniture with the furniture hinge. The closed position of the furniture hinge corresponds to a closed position of the movable furniture part on the furniture body, just as the open position of the furniture hinge corresponds to an open position of the movable furniture part on the furniture body.

Das erfindungsgemäße Möbelscharnier ist trotz eines einfachen bzw. materialsparenden Aufbaus vorteilhaft für insbesondere ein vergleichsweise weites Verschwenken des bewegbaren Möbelteils um über z. B. 120 Winkelgrade bis zu circa 270 Winkelgrade ausgebildet.The furniture hinge according to the invention is advantageous in particular for a comparatively wide pivoting of the movable furniture part to about z. B. formed 120 degrees up to approximately 270 degrees.

Am Möbelscharnier ist eine Dämpferanordnung zur Dämpfung der Relativbewegung zwischen dem ersten Gelenkteil und dem zweiten Gelenkteil zum Erreichen der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers derart vorgesehen, dass die Dämpfung der Relativbewegung über eine vorgegebene Bewegungsphase als Teil der gesamten möglichen Relativbewegung des ersten Gelenkteils und des zweiten Gelenkteils zum Erreichen der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers erfolgt.A damper arrangement for damping the relative movement between the first joint part and the second joint part to reach the closed position of the furniture hinge is provided on the furniture hinge in such a way that the damping of the relative movement over a specified movement phase as part of the total possible relative movement of the first joint part and the second joint part to achieve the closed position of the furniture hinge takes place.

Mit dem Möbelscharnier mit Dämpferanordnung wird das Möbelscharnier, obwohl es durch die genau eine Gelenkachse vergleichsweise einfach und wenig komplex ausgebildet ist, insbesondere im Hinblick auf einen Nutzkomfort verbessert.With the furniture hinge with a damper arrangement, the furniture hinge is improved, in particular with regard to ease of use, although it is made comparatively simple and not very complex due to the precisely one joint axis.

Das Einachs-Scharnier bzw. Einachs-Band oder Objektband, wie das erfindungsgemäße Möbelscharnier mit genau einer Schwenkachse in Fachkreisen auch bezeichnet wird, stellt eine Dämpf- bzw. Bremswirkung beim Schließen bereit.The single-axis hinge or single-axis tape or object tape, like the one according to the invention Furniture hinge with exactly one pivot axis is also referred to in specialist circles, provides a damping or braking effect when closing.

Darüber hinaus zeichnet sich das erfindungsgemäße Möbelscharnier durch eine geringe Komplexizität aufgrund der Einachskinematik aus.In addition, the furniture hinge according to the invention is characterized by a low level of complexity due to the single-axis kinematics.

Die Dämpfwirkung findet richtungsabhängig bei einer Schließbewegung des Möbelscharniers auf einem letzten Abschnitt des Schließ- bzw. Schwenkvorgangs statt. Beim Öffnen des Scharniers bzw. des bewegbaren Möbelteils am Möbel ist die Dämpfung nicht wirksam, womit vorteilhaft ein manuelles Öffnen der z. B. Möbeltüre für eine Person leicht von der Hand geht, ohne Dämpf- bzw. Bremswirkung der Dämpferanordnung.The damping effect takes place depending on the direction during a closing movement of the furniture hinge on a last section of the closing or pivoting process. When opening the hinge or the movable furniture part on the furniture, the damping is not effective, which is advantageous manual opening of the z. B. furniture door for one person is easy to handle, without damping or braking effect of the damper assembly.

Das erste Gelenkteil und das zweite Gelenkteil sind ausschließlich im Bereich der genau einen Gelenkachse miteinander verbunden. Dies ist platzsparend.The first joint part and the second joint part are connected to one another exclusively in the area of exactly one joint axis. This saves space.

In einer möglichen Ausbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Möbelscharniers ist die Gelenkachse mit einem zylindrischen Abschnitt gebildet, wobei ein mittlerer Abschnitt einem ersten Gelenkteil und jeweils gegenüberliegende äußere Endabschnitt des zylindrischen Abschnitts dem anderen Gelenkteil zugehörig ist.In one possible embodiment of the furniture hinge according to the invention, the hinge axis is formed with a cylindrical section, a middle section belonging to a first hinge part and each opposite outer end section of the cylindrical section belonging to the other hinge part.

Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ein Haltemechanismus ausgebildet ist, welcher das erste Gelenkteil und das zweite Gelenkteil in der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers zusammenhält. Der Haltemechanismus arbeitet vorzugsweise selbsttätig, lediglich eine geringe Bewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils ist von außen aufbringbar, um die Gelenkteile in Richtung des geschlossenen Gelenkzustands zu bringen, was durch eine Person durch das Schließen der z. B. Möbeltüre erfolgt.The invention is characterized in that a holding mechanism is formed which holds the first joint part and the second joint part together in the closed position of the furniture hinge. The holding mechanism preferably works automatically, only a small movement of the movable furniture part can be applied from the outside in order to bring the joint parts in the direction of the closed joint state, which can be achieved by a person by closing the z. B. furniture door takes place.

Erst kurz vor dem endgültigen Erreichen des geschlossenen Gelenkzustands des Möbelscharniers kommt der Haltemechanismus zur Geltung bzw. wirkt eine Haltekraft, womit die geschlossene Stellung des bewegbaren Möbelteils relativ zum Möbelkorpus gesichert ist.Only shortly before the closed joint state of the furniture hinge is finally reached does the holding mechanism come into effect or a holding force acts, with which the closed position of the movable furniture part is secured relative to the furniture body.

Damit lässt sich mit dem am Möbel montierten erfindungsgemäßen Möbelscharnier das bewegbare Möbelteil in seinem am Möbel bzw. am Möbelkorpus geschlossenen Zustand bzw. in der Schließstellung halten. Der Haltemechanismus ist so abgestimmt, dass die Zuhaltewirkung bzw. die Zuhaltekraft vergleichsweise gering und wieder aufhebbar ist, wobei von außen lediglich eine vergleichsweise geringe Gegenkraft gegen die Haltewirkung bzw. Haltekraft des Haltemechanismus wirken muss. Dies erfolgt in der Regel durch Angreifen an dem bewegbaren Möbelteil bzw. durch ein Einwirken von außen, um das bewegbare Möbelteil aus der Schließstellung zu bringen.Thus, with the furniture hinge according to the invention mounted on the furniture, the movable furniture part can be held in its closed state on the furniture or on the furniture body or in the closed position. The holding mechanism is coordinated in such a way that the locking effect or the locking force is comparatively low and can be canceled again, with only a comparatively small counterforce having to act against the holding effect or holding force of the holding mechanism from the outside. This is usually done by engaging the movable furniture part or by acting from the outside in order to bring the movable furniture part out of the closed position.

Das unbewegte bzw. unbetätigte bewegbare Möbelteil im Schließzustand verbleibt aufgrund des Haltemechanismus sicher in seiner Schließstellung am Möbelteil. Ohne Haltemechanismus könnte aufgrund eines geringfügig offenstehenden bewegbaren Möbelteils durch den zwischen dem Möbelteil und dem Möbelkorpus gebildeten Spaltbereich Staub in das Möbelinnere gelangen, was unerwünscht ist.The stationary or non-actuated movable furniture part in the Due to the holding mechanism, the closed state remains securely in its closed position on the furniture part. Without a holding mechanism, dust could get into the interior of the furniture due to a slightly open movable furniture part through the gap area formed between the furniture part and the furniture body, which is undesirable.

Der Haltemechanismus umfasst eine form- und/oder kraftschlüssige Verbindungsanordnung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Gelenkteil. Erfindungsgemäß ist mit dem Haltemechanismus eine Rast- oder Schnappverbindung einrichtbar.The holding mechanism comprises a form-fitting and / or force-fitting connection arrangement between the first and the second joint part. According to the invention, a latching or snap connection can be set up with the holding mechanism.

Der Haltemechanismus weist einen Abschnitt am ersten Gelenkteil und einen mit dem Abschnitt zusammenwirkenden weiteren Abschnitt auf, welcher am zweiten Gelenkteil ausgebildet ist.The holding mechanism has a section on the first joint part and a further section which cooperates with the section and is formed on the second joint part.

Erfindungsgemäß weist der Haltemechanismus zur Einrichtung einer Verrastung in dem geschlossenen Gelenkzustand ein Rastelement an einem Gelenkteil und ein auf das Rastelement abgestimmter Einrastabschnitt an dem anderen Gelenkteil auf. Das Zusammenspiel von Rastelement und Einrastabschnitt erfolgt vorzugsweise selbsttätig beim Schließen des Möbelscharniers.According to the invention, the holding mechanism for setting up a latching in the closed joint state has a latching element on one joint part and a latching section coordinated with the latching element on the other joint part. The interplay of the latching element and latching section preferably takes place automatically when the furniture hinge is closed.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Rastelement beweglich gelagert. Damit kann das Rastelement definiert in eine verrastende Stellung und aus dieser wieder zurück bzw. in eine nicht verrastende Stellung bewegt werden. Die Rastelement-Bewegung ist insbesondere in beide Richtungen mit zum Beispiel einem Anschlag begrenzt.According to the invention, the locking element is movably mounted. In this way, the latching element can be moved in a defined manner into a latching position and from this back again or into a non-latching position. The locking element movement is limited in particular in both directions with, for example, a stop.

Das Rastelement ist erfindungsgemäß als gelenkig gelagerter zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet, wobei das Rastelement um eine Achse begrenzt hin- und herschwenkbar ist, welche parallel versetzt zur Gelenkachse des Möbelscharniers ausgebildet ist.According to the invention, the latching element is designed as an articulated two-armed lever, the latching element being able to pivot back and forth to a limited extent about an axis which is offset parallel to the articulation axis of the furniture hinge.

Das Rastelement ist kraftbeaufschlagt. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Rastelement mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagt. Hierdurch wirkt eine Kraft auf das Rastelement, welche, wenn keine größere Gegenkraft entgegen wirkt, das Rastelement in eine Position drängt, in der das Rastelement die beiden Gelenkteile in der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers bzw. im geschlossenen Gelenkzustand hält bzw. verrastet. Ein Abschnitt des Rastelements hintergreift in der verrastenden Stellung einen Einrastabschnitt am anderen Gelenkteil. Erfindungsgemäß greift eine vorstehende Nase des Rastelements kraftbeaufschlagt in eine passende Vertiefung. Das Rastelement ist vorzugsweise an dem Gelenkteil vorhanden, das am bewegbaren Möbelteil anbringbar ist und in die Vertiefung am anderen Gelenkteil eingreift, das am Möbelkorpus anbringbar ist.The locking element is subjected to force. According to the invention, the locking element is acted upon by a spring force. This works a force on the latching element which, if no major counterforce counteracts it, pushes the latching element into a position in which the latching element holds or latches the two joint parts in the closed position of the furniture hinge or in the closed joint state. A section of the latching element engages behind a latching section on the other joint part in the latching position. According to the invention, a protruding nose of the latching element engages with a force in a suitable recess. The latching element is preferably present on the joint part which can be attached to the movable furniture part and engages in the recess on the other joint part which can be attached to the furniture body.

Die Kraftbeaufschlagung bzw. die Federkraft ist so abgestimmt, dass die Einrichtung und die Aufhebung des Rastzustandes, wobei jeweils eine Kraft von außen durch Einwirken auf das bewegbare Möbelteil aufgebracht werden muss, gegen einen vergleichsweise geringen Widerstand möglich ist. Dies ist bedienerfreundlich, so dass eine Person zum Beispiel eine entsprechende Möbeltüre von Hand ohne Weiteres schließen und öffnen kann bzw. ohne, dass die Person bewusst spürt, dass aufgrund der Verrastung zur Einrichtung dieser bzw. zu deren Aufhebung ein zusätzlicher Kraftaufwand nötig ist.The application of force or the spring force is coordinated in such a way that the establishment and the cancellation of the latching state, whereby a force must be applied from the outside by acting on the movable furniture part, is possible against a comparatively low resistance. This is user-friendly, so that a person can, for example, easily close and open a corresponding furniture door by hand or without the person consciously feeling that additional force is required to set it up or to release it due to the latching.

Zur Aufhebung der Raststellung muss das Rastelement insbesondere z. B. nur kurzzeitig bzw. geringfügig gegen die Federkraft aus der verrastenden Stellung herausbewegt werden, was verbunden mit einer Öffnungsbewegung des am Möbel geschlossen gehaltenen bewegbaren Möbelteils erfolgt.To cancel the locking position, the locking element must in particular, for. B. be moved out of the locking position only briefly or slightly against the spring force, which takes place in connection with an opening movement of the movable furniture part held closed on the furniture.

Es ist überdies vorteilhaft, dass die Dämpferanordnung zwei Dämpferteile umfasst, mit einem Dämpfer-Grundbauteil und einem Dämpfer-Steuerteil, wobei an dem ersten Gelenkteil und an dem zweiten Gelenkteil jeweils ein Dämpferteil vorhanden ist. Dies ist funktional bedingt und außerdem konstruktiv und bezüglich der Montage vorteilhaft.It is also advantageous that the damper arrangement comprises two damper parts, with a damper base component and a damper control part, a damper part each being present on the first joint part and on the second joint part. This is functionally conditioned and also advantageous in terms of construction and assembly.

Weiter ist es von Vorteil, dass ein Dämpferteil als ein Bauteil ausgebildet ist, das separat zu weiteren Abschnitten des Möbelscharniers vorhanden ist. Vorzugsweise ist das separate Dämpferteil an einem Außenabschnitt des verbleibenden Abschnitts des Möbelscharniers anbringbar bzw. aufsetzbar, oder in der unmittelbaren Nähe zum restlichen Möbelscharnier, also an einem Bereich des bewegbaren Möbelteils oder des Möbelkorpus.It is also advantageous that a damper part is designed as a component that is present separately from further sections of the furniture hinge. The separate damper part can preferably be attached or placed on an outer section of the remaining section of the furniture hinge, or in the immediate vicinity of the rest of the furniture hinge, that is to say on an area of the movable furniture part or the furniture body.

Das jeweilige Dämpferteil kann vorteilhafterweise an bzw. auf einer Außenseite des Möbelscharniers an dafür vorbereiteten Anbringstellen aufgesetzt bzw. angeschraubt oder aufgeklipst werden.The respective damper part can advantageously be placed or screwed or clipped onto an outside of the furniture hinge at attachment points prepared for this.

Mit der separaten Ausbildung der Dämpferteile lässt sich ein Austausch und/oder eine nachträgliche Anbringung der Dämpferanordnung am Möbelscharnier vorteilhaft ermöglichen.With the separate design of the damper parts, an exchange and / or subsequent attachment of the damper arrangement to the furniture hinge can advantageously be made possible.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Variante der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, dass die Dämpferanordnung einen Lineardämpfer oder einen Drehdämpfer umfasst. Derartige Dämpfertypen sind standardmäßig in unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen handelsüblich erhältlich. Vorzugsweise kommen zum Beispiel Fluiddämpfer bzw. Öl- oder Luftdämpfer in Betracht, beispielsweise mit relativ zueinander verschieblichen Dämpferteilen in einer Kolben-Zylinder Bauform mit am Kolben vorhandenem Kontaktteil, für eine Einwirken von außen auf den Dämpfer.Another advantageous variant of the invention is to be seen in the fact that the damper arrangement comprises a linear damper or a rotary damper. Such types of dampers are commercially available as standard in a wide variety of designs. Preferably, for example, fluid dampers or oil or air dampers come into consideration, for example with damper parts displaceable relative to one another in a piston-cylinder design with a contact part on the piston, for external action on the damper.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Erfindung weist die Dämpferanordnung ein Dämpfer-Grundbauteil mit einem Kontaktabschnitt auf, wobei der Kontaktabschnitt abgestimmt ist, bei einem Dämpfvorgang mit einem Gegenabschnitt an einem Dämpfer-Steuerteil der Dämpferanordnung zusammenzuwirken. Damit ist die Zuordnung auf zwei ohnehin funktional voneinander getrennten Dämpferteile vorteilhaft möglich.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the damper arrangement has a damper base component with a contact section, the contact section being adapted to interact with a mating section on a damper control part of the damper arrangement during a damping process. In this way, the assignment to two damper parts that are functionally separate from one another is advantageously possible.

Insbesondere ist ein Dämpfer-Grundbauteil mit dem Kontaktabschnitt an dem Gelenkteil vorhanden, das dem bewegbaren Möbelteil zugehörig ist. Außerdem ist vorzugsweise ein Ablaufstück vorhanden mit einer wirksamen Kontur bzw. einem räumlich sich erstreckenden Gegen-Kontaktabschnitt, der sich am Kontaktabschnitt des Dämpfer-Grundbauteil bei einem Dämpfvorgang entlangbewegt, wobei das Ablaufstück an dem Gelenkteil vorhanden ist, welches zur Anbringung am Möbelkorpus vorgesehen ist.In particular, a damper base component is with the Contact section present on the joint part which is associated with the movable furniture part. In addition, there is preferably a drain piece with an effective contour or a spatially extending counter-contact section, which moves along the contact section of the damper base component during a steaming process, the drain piece being provided on the joint part which is provided for attachment to the furniture body.

Mit der vorgeschlagenen Anordnung kann durch die jeweilige Gestaltung der Kontur des Kontaktabschnitts bzw. insbesondere des Gegen-Kontaktabschnitts eine Dauer, ein Anfangs- und Endzeitpunkt und eine Dämpfcharakteristik des Dämpfvorgangs bestimmt werden, insbesondere bei ansonsten gleichen konstruktiven bzw. baulichen Gegebenheiten der Dämpferanordnung. So kann zum Beispiel ein erstes Ablaufstück mit einer ersten Kontur des Gegen-Kontaktabschnitts an der Dämpferanordnung vorgesehen werden, für ein vergleichsweise leichtes bewegbares Möbelteil. Für ein vergleichsweise schweres bewegbares Möbelteil kann ein zweites Ablaufstück mit einer anderen Kontur des Gegen-Kontaktabschnitts an der Dämpferanordnung anstelle des ersten Ablaufstücks vorgesehen werden. Bei dem zweiten Ablaufstück ist die Kontur des Gegen-Kontaktabschnitts zum Beispiel derart, dass die Dämpfung am Ende des Schließvorgangs früher einsetzt und/oder länger anhält bzw. stärker ansteigend bzw. stärker ausgeprägt erfolgt, verglichen mit dem ersten Ablaufstück. Demgemäß kann es vorteilhaft sein, das Ablaufstück als separates bzw. austauschbares Bauteil an der Dämpferanordnung vorzusehen.With the proposed arrangement, a duration, a start and end time and a damping characteristic of the damping process can be determined by the respective design of the contour of the contact section or in particular the counter-contact section, in particular with otherwise identical structural conditions of the damper arrangement. For example, a first drain piece with a first contour of the counter-contact section can be provided on the damper arrangement for a comparatively light movable furniture part. For a comparatively heavy movable furniture part, a second drain piece with a different contour of the counter-contact section can be provided on the damper arrangement instead of the first drain piece. In the case of the second drain piece, the contour of the counter-contact section is, for example, such that the damping starts earlier at the end of the closing process and / or lasts longer or increases more sharply or is more pronounced compared with the first drain piece. Accordingly, it can be advantageous to provide the drain piece as a separate or replaceable component on the damper arrangement.

Die Dämpferanordnung kann über einen Abschnitt angesteuert sein, der mit dem Dämpfer-Grundbauteil gekoppelt ist und z. B. in Drehung versetzt wird beim Schließvorgang und einen Abschnitt des Dämpfer-Grundbauteils zur dämpfenden Bewegung zwingt. Beispielsweise kann das Ablaufstück auf einen Drehhebel wirken, der unter Drehung einen Lineardämpfer bedient, zum Beispiel über eine Ritzel-Zahnstangen-Kombination.The damper arrangement can be controlled via a section which is coupled to the damper base component and z. B. is set in rotation during the closing process and forces a portion of the damper base component to the damping movement. For example, the drain piece can act on a rotary lever which operates a linear damper while rotating, for example via a rack and pinion combination.

Schließlich liegt eine vorteilbehaftete Variante der Erfindung darin, dass ein Dämpferteil der Dämpferanordnung an einem Gelenkteil integriert untergebracht ist.Finally, an advantageous variant of the invention lies in the fact that a damper part of the damper arrangement is accommodated in an integrated manner on a joint part.

Vorzugsweise ist gemäß der Erfindung die Dämpferanordnung innerhalb einer Grundform bzw. eines Volumens untergebracht, welche bekannte derartige Möbelscharniere aufweisen. Die Erfindung ist daher vorteilhaft gegenüber bekannten Möbelscharnieren ohne eine Änderung der Form und/oder der Größe des bekannten Möbelscharniers realisierbar. Dies ist insgesamt was die möbelseitigen Vorbereitungen und die Montage angeht vorteilhaft.According to the invention, the damper arrangement is preferably accommodated within a basic shape or a volume which known furniture hinges of this type have. The invention can therefore be implemented advantageously compared to known furniture hinges without changing the shape and / or the size of the known furniture hinge. Overall, this is beneficial in terms of furniture-related preparations and assembly.

In der Regel existieren bei bekannten Möbelscharnieren einzelne, wenn auch kleinvolumige Bereich, welche bislang nicht durch eine Funktion belegt sind bzw. die hohl sind, so dass diese Bereiche von der Dämpferanordnung zu deren Anbringung am Möbelscharnier nutzbar sind. Daher sind Dämpferanordnungen in Miniaturbauweise vorzugsweise für das erfindungsgemäße Möbelscharnier vorteilhaft.As a rule, with known furniture hinges there are individual, albeit small-volume, areas which have not yet been assigned a function or which are hollow, so that these areas can be used by the damper arrangement to attach it to the furniture hinge. Therefore, damper arrangements of miniature design are preferably advantageous for the furniture hinge according to the invention.

Besonders vorteilhaft lässt sich ein Bereich des Möbelscharniers zur Unterbringung zum Beispiel des Dämpfer-Grundbauteils nutzen, welches in einem sogenannten Scharniertopf des Möbelscharniers vorhanden ist, beispielsweise seitlich neben dem Haltemechanismus mit dem Rastelement. Der Scharniertopf ist vorzugsweise dem Gelenkteil zugeordnet, das am bewegbaren Möbelteil anbringbar ist, wobei der Scharniertopf für die Anbringung des Gelenkteils regelmäßig in eine passend vorbereitete Ausnehmung in dem Material des bewegbaren Möbelteils versenkbar ist. Damit ist der Scharniertopf bzw. damit ein überwiegender Teil des dazugehörigen Gelenkteils versenkt bzw. nicht überstehend zu einer Innenseite des bewegbaren Möbelteils.A region of the furniture hinge can be used particularly advantageously to accommodate, for example, the damper base component, which is present in a so-called hinge cup of the furniture hinge, for example on the side next to the holding mechanism with the latching element. The hinge cup is preferably assigned to the joint part that can be attached to the movable furniture part, the hinge cup being able to be sunk regularly into a suitably prepared recess in the material of the movable furniture part for attaching the joint part. The hinge cup or thus a predominant part of the associated joint part is sunk or not protruding towards an inside of the movable furniture part.

Beispielsweise kann das Dämpfer-Grundbauteil in dem versenkten Volumen des Gelenkteils bzw. des Scharniertopfs integral untergebracht sein, vorzugsweise lösbar bzw. austauschbar eingesetzt sein. Vorzugsweise steht im montierten Zustand des Dämpfer-Grundbauteils lediglich ein zur Dämpfung beweglicher Endabschnitt des Dämpfer-Grundbauteils zum Beispiel eine Kolbenverlängerung eines Kolben-Zylinder-Dämpfers über eine Hüllfläche des betreffenden Gelenkteils in Richtung des anderen Gelenkteils über. So kann bei einer Einschwenkbewegung des Möbelscharniers der bewegliche Endabschnitt des Dämpfer-Grundbauteils in Dämpfkontakt mit dem anderen Dämpferteil bzw. der Kontur des Ablaufstücks gelangen. Der Endabschnitt wird dann aus einer vorstehenden Stellung am Dämpfer verschoben, was gegen einen Widerstand erfolgt, so dass die Schließbewegung der Gelenkteile und damit des bewegbaren Möbelteils gedämpft bzw. abgebremst wird.For example, the damper base component can be integrally accommodated in the recessed volume of the joint part or the hinge cup, preferably inserted in a detachable or exchangeable manner. Preferably, in the assembled state, the Damper base component only an end section of the damper base component that is movable for damping, for example a piston extension of a piston-cylinder damper over an envelope surface of the relevant joint part in the direction of the other joint part. Thus, when the furniture hinge is pivoted in, the movable end section of the damper base component can come into damping contact with the other damper part or the contour of the drain piece. The end section is then displaced from a protruding position on the damper, which takes place against a resistance, so that the closing movement of the joint parts and thus of the movable furniture part is damped or braked.

Beim Öffnen des bewegbaren Möbelteils stellt sich der Endabschnitt bzw. die Kolbenverlängerung wieder selbsttätig in die vorstehende Stellung zurück. Damit steht die Dämpferanordnung für die Dämpfung des nächsten Schließvorgangs bereit.When the movable furniture part is opened, the end section or the piston extension automatically returns to the projecting position. The damper arrangement is thus ready for damping the next closing process.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich außerdem auf ein Möbel mit einem Möbelkorpus, an dem ein bewegbares Möbelteil wie eine Möbeltüre oder Möbelklappe vorhanden ist, wobei das bewegbare Möbelteil mit einem Möbelscharnier gemäß einer der oben erläuterten Ausbildung an dem Möbelkorpus aufgenommen ist.The invention also relates to a piece of furniture with a furniture body on which a movable furniture part such as a furniture door or furniture flap is present, the movable furniture part being received on the furniture body with a furniture hinge according to one of the above-mentioned designs.

Damit ist ein Möbel bereitgestellt, beispielsweise ein Büroschrank mit Schranktüren, das mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Möbelscharnier versehen ist. Damit lassen sich Anschlaggeräusche und Beschädigungen am Möbel durch die Dämpfwirkung der Dämpferanordnung am Ende der Schließbewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils verhindern.This provides a piece of furniture, for example an office cupboard with cupboard doors, which is provided with a furniture hinge according to the invention. In this way, impact noises and damage to the furniture can be prevented by the damping effect of the damper arrangement at the end of the closing movement of the movable furniture part.

Vorzugsweise sind bei Büroschränken an der Schranktüre zwei oder mehr erfindungsgemäße Möbelscharniere vorhanden.In the case of office cabinets, there are preferably two or more furniture hinges according to the invention on the cabinet door.

Am Möbelschrank 1 ist ein als Schranktüre 2 ausgebildetes bewegbares Möbelteil schwenkbar aufgenommen, was über zwei montierte, identische erfindungsgemäße Möbelscharniere 4 und 5 eingerichtet ist. Figure 1 shows schematically and in perspective obliquely from the front a piece of furniture designed as a cabinet 1 according to the invention. The furniture cabinet 1 is shown in a greatly simplified manner, in particular without any devices present in the interior of the furniture cabinet 1, such as shelves. A movable furniture part designed as a cabinet door 2 is pivotably received on the furniture cabinet 1, which is set up via two mounted, identical furniture hinges 4 and 5 according to the invention.

Die Möbelscharniere 4, 5 sind als sogenannte Einachsbänder bzw. als Objektbänder ausgebildet. Die Möbelscharniere 4, 5 weisen jeweils genau eine Gelenkachse S auf, welche senkrecht stehen und um welche die Schranktüre 2 in eine Schließrichtung P1 einschwenkbar und in eine entgegengesetzte Richtung P2 aufschwenkbar ist.The furniture hinges 4, 5 are designed as so-called single-axis hinges or as object hinges. The furniture hinges 4, 5 each have exactly one hinge axis S which is perpendicular and around which the cabinet door 2 can be pivoted in a closing direction P1 and pivoted open in an opposite direction P2.

Ein Möbelkorpus 3 des Möbelschranks 1 ist im wesentlichen quaderförmig mit einer offenen Frontseite, einer Rückwand 6, einem Boden 7, einem Oberteil 8 und einer von vorne betrachtet linken Seitenwand 9 und einer rechten Seitenwand 10. Die Schranktüre 2 ist im Bereich einer korpusseitigen Schmal- bzw. Stirnseite demgemäß am Möbelkorpus 3 über das obere Möbelscharnier 4 und das untere Möbelscharnier an der Seitenwand 9 gelenkig bewegbar aufgenommen. Die Seitenwand 9 weist eine Innenseite 9a auf, an welcher ein Gelenkteil 11 des jeweiligen Möbelscharniers 4 bzw. 5 angreift.A furniture body 3 of the cabinet 1 is essentially cuboid with an open front side, a rear wall 6, a bottom 7, an upper part 8 and a left side wall 9 and a right side wall 10 viewed from the front. The cabinet door 2 is in the area of a body-side narrow or front side accordingly received on the furniture body 3 via the upper furniture hinge 4 and the lower furniture hinge on the side wall 9 in an articulated manner. The side wall 9 has an inside 9a on which a joint part 11 of the respective furniture hinge 4 or 5 engages.

Figur 2 zeigt den Möbelschrank 1 bei geschlossener Möbeltüre 2 von hinten, wobei Teile mit der Gelenkachse S der Möbelscharniere 4 und 5 seitlich am Möbelkorpus 3 geringfügig überstehen. Figur 3 verdeutlicht, dass mit den Möbelscharnieren 4, 5 vorteilhafterweise die Schranktüre 2 im am Möbelschrank 1 geschlossenen Zustand spaltfrei an frontseitigen Schmalseiten des Möbelkorpus 3 anliegt. Figure 2 shows the cabinet 1 from the rear with the furniture door 2 closed, parts with the hinge axis S of the furniture hinges 4 and 5 protruding slightly on the side of the furniture body 3. Figure 3 shows that with the furniture hinges 4, 5, the cabinet door 2 advantageously rests against the narrow sides of the furniture body 3 on the front side when the cabinet 1 is closed.

Die genau eine außerhalb des Möbelschranks 1 positionierte Gelenkachse S wird bei einer Schwenkbewegung der Schranktüre 2 räumlich nicht mitbewegt und ist hier beispielhaft etwas nach vorne beabstandet zu einer Außenseite der Schranktüre 2 gelegen.Exactly one hinge axis S positioned outside of the cabinet 1 is not spatially moved along with a pivoting movement of the cabinet door 2 and is here, for example, somewhat forwardly spaced from an outside of the cabinet door 2.

Gemäß Figur 4 weist das Möbelscharnier 4 das erste Gelenkteil 11 und das zweite Gelenkteil 12 auf, zum Beispiel jeweils angeschraubt an dem Möbelschrank 1.According to Figure 4 the furniture hinge 4 has the first joint part 11 and the second joint part 12, for example each screwed onto the furniture cabinet 1.

Die beiden Gelenkteile 11 und 12 sind im Bereich der Gelenkachse S miteinander schwenkbar verbunden.The two joint parts 11 and 12 are pivotably connected to one another in the area of the joint axis S.

Das erste Gelenkteil 11 ist an der Innenseite 9a der Seitenwand 9 am Möbelkorpus 3 montiert und das zweite Gelenkteil 12 ist an einer Innenseite 2a der Schranktüre 2 montiert.The first joint part 11 is mounted on the inside 9a of the side wall 9 on the furniture body 3 and the second joint part 12 is mounted on an inside 2a of the cabinet door 2.

Das zum Scharnier 4 identische Scharnier 5 ist entsprechend mit seinen Gelenkteilen 11 und 12 nach unten vertikal versetzt etwas oberhalb des Bodens 7 an der Schranktüre 2 und der Seitenwand 9 montiert.The hinge 5, which is identical to the hinge 4, is accordingly mounted with its joint parts 11 and 12 offset vertically downwards somewhat above the base 7 on the cabinet door 2 and the side wall 9.

Wie insbesondere Figur 5 verdeutlicht, ist zur Anbringung des zweiten Gelenkteils 12 an der Innenseite 2a eine vorbereitete Ausnehmung 13 im Material der Schranktüre 2 ausgebildet, in welche das montierte Gelenkteil 12 teilweise hineinreicht ggf. leicht klemmend vorpositionierbar ist. An der Seitenwand 9 ist demgegenüber keine vorbereitete Ausnehmung oder dergleichen notwendig. Die beiden Gelenkteile 11 und 12 sind lediglich über nicht näher dargestellte Schraubmittel an der Seitenwand 9 bzw. der Schranktüre 2 befestigt.How in particular Figure 5 clarified, a prepared recess 13 is formed in the material of the cabinet door 2 for attaching the second hinge part 12 to the inside 2a, into which the mounted hinge part 12 partially extends and can possibly be pre-positioned in a slightly clamping manner. In contrast, no prepared recess or the like is necessary on the side wall 9. The two joint parts 11 and 12 are only fastened to the side wall 9 or the cabinet door 2 by screw means (not shown in detail).

Das Möbelscharnier 4 weist einen Haltemechanismus 14 zum Zuhalten der geschlossenen Schranktüre 2 auf. Der Haltemechanismus 14 umfasst einen Rastmechanismus mit einem Rastelement 15 am Gelenkteil 12 und einer Rastvertiefung 16 am Gelenkteil 11 (s. Figur 5).The furniture hinge 4 has a holding mechanism 14 for holding the closed cabinet door 2 closed. The holding mechanism 14 comprises a latching mechanism with a latching element 15 on the joint part 12 and a latching recess 16 on the joint part 11 (see FIG. Figure 5 ).

Das Rastelement 15 ist als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet, der um eine Schwenkachse R geringfügig gemäß P3 hin- und herschwenkbar ist. Das Rastelement 15 ist mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagt in eine gemäß Figur 5 gezeigte Raststellung gedrängt bzw. vorgespannt. Die Federbeaufschlagung ist durch eine in einer entsprechenden Aufnahme gehaltene Schraubenfeder 17 realisiert, welche auf einen Armabschnitt 18 des Rastelements 15 wirkt vorzugsweise drückt.The latching element 15 is designed as a two-armed lever which can be pivoted back and forth about a pivot axis R slightly according to P3. The latching element 15 is acted upon by a spring force in a according to Figure 5 shown locking position pushed or pretensioned. The spring loading is realized by a helical spring 17 held in a corresponding receptacle, which preferably presses on an arm section 18 of the latching element 15.

Durch ein Andrücken gegen den Armabschnitt 18 bzw. gegen einen ersten Hebelarm, drängt die Schraubenfeder 17 das Rastelement 15 in eine Richtung, in der eine Rastnase 19, an einem gegenüberliegenden Hebelarm des Rastelements 15, in die Rastvertiefung 16 am Gelenkteil 11 drängt, wobei mit Erreichen der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers 4 und damit der Schließstellung der Schranktüre 2 am Möbelschrank 1, die Rastnase 19 in der Rastvertiefung 16 unter der Wirkung der Schraubenfeder 17 rastend eingreift. Die Haltewirkung ist mit dieser Verrastungsanordnung realisiert.By pressing against the arm section 18 or against a first lever arm, the helical spring 17 urges the latching element 15 in a direction in which a latching lug 19, on an opposite lever arm of the latching element 15, presses into the latching recess 16 on the joint part 11, with Reaching the closed position of the furniture hinge 4 and thus the closed position of the cabinet door 2 on the furniture cabinet 1, the locking lug 19 engages in the locking recess 16 under the action of the helical spring 17. The holding effect is realized with this latching arrangement.

Die z. B. trichterförmige Rastvertiefung 16 ist hier in einem eine stirnseitige Schmalseite der Seitenwand 9 überdeckenden Abschnitt des Gelenkteils 11 ausgestaltet.The z. B. funnel-shaped latching recess 16 is configured here in a section of the joint part 11 that overlaps a narrow end face of the side wall 9.

Das Möbelscharnier 4 weist eine Dämpferanordnung 20 auf. Die Dämpferanordnung 20 umfasst zwei Dämpferteile, die insbesondere separat ausgebildet sind und ein Dämpfer-Grundbauteil und ein Dämpfer-Steuerteil aufweisen. Das Dämpfer-Grundbauteil kann beispielsweise als Fluiddämpfer bzw. als Kolben-Zylindereinheit ausgestaltet sein, wie beispielsweise ein Lineardämpfer.The furniture hinge 4 has a damper arrangement 20. The damper arrangement 20 comprises two damper parts, which are in particular formed separately and have a damper base component and a damper control part. The basic damper component can be designed, for example, as a fluid damper or as a piston-cylinder unit, such as a linear damper.

Der Lineardämpfer kann z. B. über ein drehbares Steuerteil unter einer Drehbewegung des Steuerteils in seiner linearen Bewegung angesteuert werden. Alternativ kann auch ein Drehdämpfer eingesetzt werden, der als Dämpfer-Grundbauteil wirkt. Der Drehdämpfer kann ein Stellelement 22 aufweisen, das unter dämpfender Wirkung in Richtung P5 ausweicht beim Schließen des Möbelscharniers 4.The linear damper can, for. B. can be controlled in its linear movement via a rotatable control part with a rotary movement of the control part. Alternatively, a rotary damper can also be used, which acts as a basic damper component. The rotary damper can have an adjusting element 22 which, with a damping effect, gives way in the direction P5 when the furniture hinge 4 is closed.

Wenn ein Lineardämpfer vorgesehen ist (in den Figuren nicht im Detail ersichtlich), kann das Stellelement 22 als Steuerteil fungieren, welches drehbar um die Drehachse D drehbar verstellbar ist und in Drehrichtung P4 vorgespannt bzw. rückstellbar und gegen die Vorspannkraft in Richtung P5 ausweichbar ist, wodurch die Dämpfer-Steuerung erfolgt. Mit der Drehbewegung des Stellelements 22 in Richtung P5 wird der Lineardämpfer so bewegt, dass die Dämpfwirkung am Stellteil 22 wirksam ist und das weitere Schließen bzw. Einschwenken des Gelenkteils 11 und damit der Schranktüre 2 in Richtung P1 gedämpft bzw. gebremst wird bis die ruhende Schließstellung nach Überwinden eines Dämpfwinkelbereichs α von ca. 5 bis ca. 10 Winkelgraden (s. Figur 9) gemäß Figuren 4, 5 oder 10 erreicht ist.If a linear damper is provided (not shown in detail in the figures), the actuating element 22 can function as a control part, which can be rotated about the axis of rotation D and is pretensioned or reset in the direction of rotation P4 and can be deflected against the pretensioning force in the direction P5, whereby the damper is controlled. With the rotary movement of the adjusting element 22 in direction P5, the linear damper is moved in such a way that the damping effect on the adjusting part 22 is effective and the further closing or pivoting of the joint part 11 and thus the cabinet door 2 in the direction P1 is damped or braked until the resting closed position after overcoming a damping angle range α of approx. 5 to approx. 10 angular degrees (s. Figure 9 ) according to Figures 4 , 5 or 10 is reached.

Beim Schließen der Schranktüre 2 in Richtung P1 aus einer beliebig weit ausgeschwenkten Offenstellung, z. B. gemäß der Figuren 1 oder 8, gelangt mit der Schranktüre 2 das Stellteil 22 am Gelenkteil 12 in Kontakt mit einem Ablaufteil 23, das als Dämpfer-Steuerteil wirkt und am Gelenkteil 11 angebracht bzw. ausgestaltet ist.When closing the cabinet door 2 in the direction P1 from an open position that has been swung out to any extent, e.g. B. according to Figures 1 or 8th , with the cabinet door 2, the actuating part 22 on the joint part 12 comes into contact with an outlet part 23, which acts as a damper control part and is attached or configured on the joint part 11.

Das Stellelement 22 gelangt dabei in Anlage an einer Steuerkontur 24 am Ablaufteil 23.The adjusting element 22 comes into contact with a control contour 24 on the discharge part 23.

Die weitere Schließbewegung erfolgt gedämpft, indem das Stellelement 22 an der in Schließrichtung gebogen bzw. wellig verlaufenden Steuerkontur 24 entlanggleitet.The further closing movement takes place in a damped manner in that the actuating element 22 slides along the control contour 24, which is curved or undulating in the closing direction.

Die Relativbewegung der Gelenkteile 11 und 12 bzw. die Schließbewegung bis zum Erreichen der Schließstellung der Schranktüre 2 (s. Figuren 2-5, 10) geschieht damit bis zum Ende abgebremst.The relative movement of the joint parts 11 and 12 or the closing movement until the closed position of the cabinet door 2 is reached (see Fig. Figures 2-5 , 10 ) is slowed down to the end.

In der Schließstellung rastet die Rastnase 19 in die Rastvertiefung 16 und hält die Schranktüre 2 geschlossen.In the closed position, the locking lug 19 engages in the locking recess 16 and keeps the cabinet door 2 closed.

Figur 11 zeigt ausschnittsweise und geschnitten einen Bereich eines Möbelschranks mit einem zu den Möbelscharnieren 4, 5 alternativen Möbelscharnier 25. Das Möbelscharnier 25 unterscheidet sich vom Möbelscharnier 4 dadurch, dass eine Dämpferanordnung 26 (nicht ersichtlich) bzw. deren Dämpfer-Grundbauteil nicht außen vorstehend wie bei der Dämpferanordnung 20 an einem Gehäuse des Möbelscharniers 4,5 untergebracht ist, sondern integriert z. B. im Bereich des in der Ausnehmung 13 untergebrachten Gelenkteils. Figure 11 shows a section and section of a section of a furniture cupboard with a furniture hinge 25 alternative to the furniture hinges 4, 5. The furniture hinge 25 differs from the furniture hinge 4 in that a damper arrangement 26 (not visible) or its damper base component does not protrude on the outside as in the Damper assembly 20 is housed on a housing of the furniture hinge 4.5, but integrated z. B. in the area of the joint part housed in the recess 13.

Ansonsten funktioniert das Möbelscharnier 25 entsprechend dem Möbelscharnier 20. Hier ist beispielsweise denkbar, dass ein Lineardämpfer direkt in Kontakt mit einer Kontur des Gelenkteils 11 betätigt wird kurz vor Erreichen der Schließstellung des Möbelscharniers 25 bzw. der Schranktüre 2 gemäß Figur 11.Otherwise, the furniture hinge 25 functions in the same way as the furniture hinge 20. It is conceivable, for example, that a linear damper is actuated directly in contact with a contour of the joint part 11 shortly before the furniture hinge 25 or the cabinet door 2 is in the closed position Figure 11 .
