Description

State of the art

Top flap fittings are known in the furniture sector in order to be able to move a top flap relative to a furniture body. A top flap fitting for moving a top flap mounted on a furniture body of a piece of furniture is, for example, from DE 20 2012 009 218 U1 known.

The guide means have to meet different requirements; in particular, the inside of the furniture body or the movable furniture part should be made accessible with the movement guide in order to be able to accommodate objects therein or remove them therefrom. Known guide means are relatively bulky, tall and wide, mounted on an inner surface of a side wall.

Object and advantages of the invention

The object of the present invention is to improve an upper flap fitting, in particular with regard to a compact, comparatively less bulky accommodation of the device on the piece of furniture or in order to reduce the material and/or assembly costs of the upper flap fitting.

This object is solved by the independent claims.

Advantageous and expedient developments of the invention are discussed in the dependent claims.

The invention is based on an upper flap fitting for moving an upper flap accommodated on a piece of furniture, the upper flap fitting having guide means with which, when the device is mounted on the piece of furniture, the furniture part can be moved from a closed position into an open position relative to the furniture body and back, the guide means have a first and a second fitting, wherein in the arranged state on the piece of furniture the first and the second fitting are arranged at a distance from one another on the furniture body, wherein the device has mounting means for attaching the first and the second fitting to the movable furniture part, the mounting means being attached to the movable furniture part can be mounted.

The device is designed as a swivel fitting or flap fitting for a top flap of a piece of furniture. The furniture is available, for example, as a wall cabinet.

In the closed position, the furniture part advantageously assumes a position that is moved as far as possible towards a front side of the furniture body. For example, an opening in the furniture body is at least partially closed in the closed position. For example, in the closed position there is a gap between the movable furniture part and the furniture body. For example, a touch-latch automatic opening mechanism can be implemented on the piece of furniture through the gap, which can form part of the device, for example.

The first fitting is, for example, on a right-hand side of the furniture body and the second fitting is, for example, on a left-hand side of the furniture body can be arranged, or vice versa. For example, is the first and/or the second fitting can be inserted into a side wall of the furniture body, in particular into a recess in the side wall of the furniture body.

The core of the invention is seen in the fact that the assembly means have a first assembly unit with a movable bearing and a second assembly unit with a fixed bearing, with the two assembly units being mounted on the furniture part at a distance from one another when they are arranged on the furniture part, and the first fitting being mounted on the furniture part when arranged is coupled to the first assembly unit and the second fitting is coupled to the second assembly unit, so that when the device is assembled on the piece of furniture, a position of the furniture part relative to the furniture body can be adjusted without tension using adjustment means on the fixed bearing, in that a position shift of the furniture part can be compensated for by the movable bearing . Advantageously, when the fixed bearing is adjusted, the loose bearing and/or the first fitting is moved in the same direction, e.g. +x or -x, as the second fitting and/or the fixed bearing.

Advantageously, the closed position of the furniture part relative to the furniture body can be adjusted by the adjustment means. In addition, the advantageous embodiment of the invention avoids tilting or straining of a fitting or both fittings when adjusting the position of the furniture part.

It is also advantageous that the fixed bearing is self-locking. This avoids an unintentional adjustment of the position of the furniture part.

It is also conceivable that the floating bearing is designed to be self-locking. In particular, the loose bearing is self-locking when the furniture part is in an open position. For example, the floating bearing is designed in such a way that a self-locking of the floating bearing during an opening and/or closing movement of the furniture part, at least along a partial movement path, for example in a range of movement around the closed position of the furniture part. As a result, an approximately uniform opening or closing movement of the furniture part is realized, for example. If the movable bearing and the fixed bearing are fixed in an open position, in particular in a self-locking manner, then, for example, the furniture part is coupled to the furniture body in a comparatively stable manner in the open position.

It is also proposed that the adjustment means be self-locking. This avoids an unintentional adjustment of the adjustment means.

It is also advantageous that the fitting and the assembly means are designed in such a way that the fitting can be hung on the assembly unit. This facilitates assembly of the device. For example, the first fitting can be hung on the first assembly unit and/or the second fitting can be hung on the second assembly unit.

Advantageously, the first and/or the second fitting can be releasably connected to the first and/or the second assembly unit. For example, the fitting has a hook-shaped coupling element which can be hung onto a corresponding counterpart of the mounting means. It is also conceivable that the fitting can be connected to the mounting means via a clamping and/or locking connection, e.g. via a clipping connection.

It has also proven to be advantageous that the loose bearing is designed in such a way that there is play, in particular movement play, in two directions, in particular parallel to one another.

The movable bearing is designed, for example, in such a way that the first fitting arranged on the first assembly unit has play in the direction of the second fitting and/or opposite to it. In particular, the movable bearing is present in such a way that when the mounting means are arranged on the furniture part, the direction of play is parallel to the furniture part.

The floating bearing is advantageously designed in such a way that there is play or freedom of movement of a fitting arranged on the mounting unit of the floating bearing perpendicular to a plane of movement of the fitting. For example, the floating bearing has a degree of freedom of movement. Advantageously, the play of the loose bearing, in particular the play of the loose bearing in a lateral direction relative to the furniture body, is in a range between +5mm and -5mm, between +4mm and -4mm or between +3mm and -3mm, in particular the play of the loose bearing in a range between +2.5mm and -2.5mm.

In addition, it is advantageous that the loose bearing is designed as a slotted guide.

For example, the first fitting, which can be connected to the first assembly unit, is movably guided in the link guide.

It also proves to be advantageous that the floating bearing has a carriage bearing. It is also preferred that the floating bearing has a self-aligning bearing. In this way, the first fitting is movably guided and coupled to the first assembly unit in the assembled state.

It also proves to be advantageous that the pendulum bearing is designed as a multiple pendulum bearing.

The pendulum bearing is designed, for example, as a double pendulum bearing, a double pendulum bearing, a triple pendulum bearing or a multiple pendulum bearing, in particular as a multiple pendulum bearing. Under a multiple or multiple pendulum bearing is understood in particular a self-aligning bearing, which has two or has more pendulum elements. A first pendulum element is movably mounted on a stationary component, for example, and another, e.g. second, pendulum element is movably mounted on a preceding, e.g. the first, pendulum element, etc another pendulum element movably connected. Preferably, each additional pendulum element is movably coupled to, in particular, precisely two additional pendulum elements.

A self-aligning bearing can be used hanging vertically, using natural gravity, and/or lying horizontally. Pendulum elements of the self-aligning bearing can therefore be present, for example, hanging vertically and/or lying horizontally, for example.

It is also proposed that the self-aligning bearing has, in particular, exactly two pendulum elements. The pendulum elements are designed, for example, as pendulum arms. For example, a self-aligning bearing with two self-aligning elements is called a double self-aligning bearing.

It has proven to be advantageous that the self-aligning bearing comprises, in particular, precisely two pivot axes. For example, a second pivot axis movably connects the two pendulum elements, in particular pivotably with one another. The two pendulum elements are e.g. movable, e.g. pivotable, in particular rotatable relative to one another. Preferably, a pendulum element is movably mounted on a first pivot axis, in particular pivotably mounted, e.g.

In a preferred embodiment of the device, the pendulum bearing has a guide member with which a pendulum element is movably guided. For example, the loose bearing includes a slotted guide. Advantageously, the slotted guide has the guide element. The self-aligning bearing preferably comprises two guide elements. For example a first pendulum element is movably guided by a first guide member and/or by a second guide member. For example, a second pendulum element is movably guided by the first guide member and/or by the second guide member. If the self-aligning bearing comprises several guide elements, the first guide element is designed to movably guide two or more pendulum elements and a second guide element is designed to guide a single pendulum element in particular directly or immediately movably.

It also proves to be advantageous that the floating bearing is designed in such a way that a lateral and/or vertical adjustment of the fixed bearing can be compensated for by the floating bearing, in particular by the self-aligning bearing. As a result, stresses in the device are advantageously avoided. The pendulum bearing is advantageously present in such a way that an adjustment of the fixed bearing in a direction parallel to a front side of the furniture body and/or a main plane of the movable furniture part can be compensated by the pendulum bearing. A main plane of the movable furniture part is to be understood, for example, as a rear side of the movable furniture part, which is opposite a front side of the furniture body in the closed position, e.g. adjacent to the front side of the furniture body. The loose bearing, in particular the self-aligning bearing, is preferably designed in such a way that an adjustment of the fixed bearing by the loose bearing, in particular by the self-aligning bearing, can be compensated for in two spatial directions which are in particular perpendicular to one another.

In addition, it is proposed that the self-aligning bearing of the floating bearing is present independently of a height and/or depth adjustment of the floating bearing. For example, the pendulum bearing is present in such a way that the pendulum bearing in particular only allows lateral adjustment of the movable furniture part. Under a lateral adjustment is in particular a lateral change in position of the movable To understand furniture part in the closed position in a horizontal direction relative to the furniture body.

In an advantageous embodiment of the device, the first pivot axis of the pendulum bearing is stationary relative to the remaining parts of the floating bearing and a second pivot axis of the pendulum bearing is movable relative to the remaining parts of the floating bearing. For example, the first and second pivot axes are formed on the first pendulum element. For example, the first and second pivot axes are spaced from each other on the first shuttle. For example, the first pivot axis movably connects the first pendulum element to the remaining parts of the floating bearing. The second pivot axis connects, for example, the first and the second pendulum element movably with one another.

It is also advantageous that the floating bearing, in particular the self-aligning bearing, is designed in such a way that the first pivot axis is further away from a front side of the furniture body than the second pivot axis when the device is in the arranged state on the movable furniture part in an open position of the movable furniture part. Advantageously, when the device is mounted on the piece of furniture, the second pivot axis is formed above the first pivot axis when viewed in a vertical direction in the closed position.

The floating bearing is preferably designed in such a way that there is play in two directions. Advantageously, there is play in the floating bearing in a play level. When the device is in the arranged state on the piece of furniture, the playing plane is advantageously aligned at least approximately parallel to a front side of the piece of furniture, in particular the furniture part. For example, in the closed position of the movable furniture part, the play level is aligned at least approximately parallel to the front of the furniture body and/or to the front of the furniture part and/or to the rear of the furniture part. The loose bearing on the device is advantageously in the arranged state the game plane is aligned transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to a plane of movement of the guide means of the device.

In an advantageous variant of the device, the fixed bearing is adjustable in an open position of the furniture part, with an adjustment of the fixed bearing changing a position of the furniture part relative to the second fitting, with the movable bearing being designed in such a way that in a closing movement of the furniture part from the open position in the closed position, a change in position of the furniture part relative to the first fitting is made possible, so that the furniture part is coupled to the first and second fittings without tension in an adjustment direction of the fixed bearing. As a result, adjusting the position of the furniture part is comparatively simplified. For example, the loose bearing is present such that in the closed position the position of the furniture part can be changed relative to the first fitting, so that the furniture part couples to the first and second fittings without tension in an adjustment direction of the fixed bearing.

It also proves to be advantageous that an adjustment means is designed as an eccentric. It is also conceivable that an adjustment means is present as a simple screw, as a worm adjustment and/or a slot.

The same reference symbols are sometimes used for corresponding elements of different exemplary embodiments. A configuration of a corresponding element can vary between different exemplary embodiments.

1 shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture according to the invention or a wall cabinet 1 with a box-shaped furniture body 2 and a furniture part accommodated thereon, which is designed as a panel-like top flap 3 , which is shown in an open position relative to the furniture body 2 .

The furniture body 2 comprises two opposite, upright side walls 4 and 5, which are connected to a bottom panel 6 and to a top panel 7 at the top. The furniture body 2 is closed by a rear wall 8 at the rear.

To move the top flap 3 about a horizontal pivot axis relative to the furniture body 2 from the 1 shown open position into a closed position moved towards the front of the furniture carcass 2 (see Figures 4, 5 ) is a top flap fitting 9 according to the invention.

The upper flap fitting 9 has a first fitting unit 10 on the side wall 4 and a second fitting unit 11 on the side wall 5, which are constructed in the same way but for the functionally correct arrangement on the respective side wall 4 or 5 in relation to the side.

Each fitting unit 10 and 11 comprises a base unit 12, guide means 13 with articulated levers and a mounting unit in the form of a mounting plate 15a, 15b. About several articulated joint levers, which are present as pivot arms 14.1 to 14.7 of a pivot arm assembly 14, is the Base unit 12 is connected to the mounting plate 15a, 15b, which is firmly attached to an inside of the top flap 3, for example countersunk in a material recess 36.

In addition, the guide means 13 have an energy accumulator 16 adjustable with an adjustment unit 17 to support the opening movement of the upper flap 3 into the open position or open position and a damping device 18 for a damped closing movement of the upper flap 3 into the closed position or closed position.

The base unit 12 is preferably formed from a sheet metal component and comprises a flat, flat or thin base plate 19 and a base plate 19 opposite flat thin cover plate 20, which only in the Figures 1 and 2 is shown.

In addition, on the front side of the base unit 12 there is a front section 21, the outside of which is aligned transversely to the base plate 19 level. The relevant swivel arms of the swivel arm arrangement 14 reach through a rectangular recess 22 in the end section 21.

The base plate 12, which has a square or rectangular base, for example, has four straight base plate edges 23 to 26, with the exemplary embodiment shown at the two adjacent base plate edges 25 and 26 each having a rectangle that is perpendicular to the plane of the base plate 19, for example - or strip-shaped wall section 27, 28 is present. The wall sections 27, 28 are, for example, identical in height, which is preferably a predetermined amount less than, for example, the thickness of the wall element of the piece of furniture or the side wall 4 of the upper cabinet 1 to which the base unit 12 of the fitting unit 10 is attached. If the side wall 4 has a usual thickness a of 16 millimeters (see 2 ), then a height of the base unit 12 is preferably 12 millimeters or less, for example. Thus, the base unit 12 in a Prepared material recess 31 countersunk or used flush if the material recess 31 has a depth of 12 millimeters. The residual bottom thickness of the material recess 31 is then accordingly 4 millimeters. In addition to the height of the wall section 27, 28, the height of the base unit is also made up, for example, of the thickness of the base plate 19 and the thickness of the contact flange 29, 30. With an assumed sheet metal thickness of, for example, one millimeter and a height of the base unit 12 of 12 millimeters, the height of the wall section 27 or 28 is, for example, ten millimeters.

Contact flanges 29, 30 are provided so that the mechanical weakening of the side wall 4, 5 due to the material recess 31 or due to the lack of wall material does not lead to undesirable consequences compared to the side wall without a material recess 31. The fitting unit 10 or the base unit 12 can be firmly attached to the side wall 4 with the contact flanges 29, 30 and fastening means such as screw means 40 engaging or passing through them, in particular fixed in position and without play. The base unit 12 used also contributes to the stabilization of the weakened side wall 4, 5 in the area of the material recess 31. In this case, a surface contact via the surface contact of the outside of the base unit 12 with the wall of the material recess 31 has an advantageous effect, which has a stabilizing effect. In addition, the attachment or adhesive effect can be improved or increased by means of adhesive, such as an adhesive layer, between the base unit 12 and the material recess 31.

Each wall section 27 and 28 is adjoined by a contact flange angled at right angles to it, i.e. contact flange 29 on wall section 27 and contact flange 30 on wall section 28. Contact flanges 29, 30 are also rectangular or strip-shaped, for example between 5 and 25 millimeters wide. preferably about 15 millimeters wide.

The fastening means, such as the screw means 40, reach through, e.g. prepared through-holes in the contact flanges 29, 30.

At the front in the area of the base plate edge 23, when the fitting unit 10 is in the assembled state, the rectangular flat end section 21 is countersunk flush with a front, narrow end face 4b of the side wall 4.

A wall section 32 protruding perpendicularly to the plane of the base plate 19, e.g. at right angles, is provided on the upper side of the base plate edge 24, but without a contact flange, since the base plate edge 24 connects to the top panel 7 on the underside. To attach the base unit 12 to the top panel 7, a screw 33 engages through an obliquely aligned passage opening in an angle element 34 and through an opening 35 in the wall section 32, so that the screw 33 can be screwed into the top panel 7 at an angle, with the base unit 12 being pushed upwards and is attracted to the side wall 4.

The mounting plate 15a, 15b is also advantageously sunk into a corresponding material recess 36 in the top flap 3, preferably housed flush with the inside of the top flap 3.

The fitting unit 10 or the base unit 12 can also be attached to the furniture body 2 without a material recess (see Fig. 8 ). For this purpose, screw means 37 reach through the cover plate 20 and the holes in the contact flanges 29 and 30 and through adapter means (not shown), which can be inserted between the underside of the contact flanges 29, 30 and the inside 4a of the side wall 4, with corresponding openings therein for reaching through the Screwing means 37, which can be screwed into the side wall 4 and extend beyond the adapter means. Correspondingly, in 8 also another variant of a mounting unit 15a or 15b available, which, for example, on the special mounting position

Fitting unit 10 is adapted to the furniture body 2.

figure 10 shows the upper section of the upper cabinet 1 with the upper flap 3 open, the upper flap 3 being shown in partial section and the mounting plate 15a being shown in full. Accordingly, the mounting plate 15a is received in the matching material recess 36 almost completely countersunk. The basic shape of the mounting plate 15a is comparable, for example, to the basic shape of the base unit 12 and has a flat base plate 42, a wall section 43 standing up thereon and a contact flange 44 projecting at an angle outwards on the wall section 43. An upper side 44a of the mounting plate 15a or the contact flange 44 and a lid-like, flat or thin cover 41 detachably attached to it protrude slightly beyond the inside 3a of the upper flap 3, for example. The material recess 36 includes a deeper main pocket 36a and a shallower side pocket 36b, in which the contact flange 44 of the mounting plate 15a is accommodated. Adjusting means 45 for adjusting the relative position between the swivel arm arrangement 14 and the mounting plate 15a are accommodated in the recessed area of the mounting plate 15a above the base plate 42 and within the height of the wall section 43 . A swivel arm 14.1 extends from the swivel arm arrangement 14 to the area of the mounting plate 15a.

The adjustment means 45 of the mounting plate 15a comprise, for example, depth adjustment means 46 with e.g. an adjusting screw 47, lateral adjustment means 48 with e.g. an eccentric 49 and/or height adjustment means 50 with e.g. an adjustment worm 51.

With the depth adjustment means 46, the relative position between the swivel arm arrangement 14 and the mounting plate 15a is adjusted in the directions according to the double arrow P1.

With the lateral adjustment means 48, which are present as a fixed bearing, the relative position between the swivel arm arrangement 14 and the mounting plate 15a is adjusted in the directions according to the double arrow P2 (see also Figures 13 - 18 ).

In the Figures 14a - 14c the assembly unit 15a is shown in different lateral adjustment positions. In Figure 14a an assembly unit 15a is shown that is adjusted as far as possible outwards, in the direction of the furniture carcass side wall 4, in Figure 14b a central position in which the assembly unit 15a is not subject to any lateral displacement and in Figure 14c a mounting unit 15a adjusted maximally inwards, in the direction of the furniture carcass side wall 5 or in the direction of the mounting unit 15b. Advantageously, the assembly unit 15a can be adjusted by the lateral adjustment means 48 from the central position in both directions by the same amount, for example by a distance ±x. The lateral adjustment of the assembly unit takes place, for example, by turning the eccentric 49 by a user.

The Figures 15a to 15c the assembly unit 15b is shown, which has a movable bearing 58. The movable bearing 58 of the assembly unit 15b is in accordance with the fixed bearing of the assembly unit 15a from a middle position, shown in Figure 15b adjustable in the lateral direction, advantageously equally in both lateral directions (shown in Figs Figures 15a and 15c ). It is also advantageous if the floating bearing 58 has the same lateral range of motion ±x as the fixed bearing.

If a user adjusts a position of a first pivot arm arrangement 14 relative to assembly unit 15a on assembly unit 15a, a position of the second pivot arm arrangement 14, which is present on furniture body 2 opposite the first pivot arm arrangement 14, is adjusted relative to assembly unit 15b at the same time, in that the second swivel arm assembly 14 undergoes a change in position due to the movable bearing 58 . It is also conceivable that the floating bearing 58 is present as a self-aligning bearing.

The Figures 17a - 17c is another variant of an assembly unit 15a with a fixed bearing and the Figures 18a - 18c a further variant of an assembly unit 15b with a floating bearing can be seen. The assembly units 15a and 15b of figures 17 and 18 differ from the assembly units 15a and 15b of figures 15 and 16 in that the mounting units 15a, 15b are designed in such a way that the mounting units can be mounted on the inside 3a of the top flap 3 and are not inserted or embedded in the top flap 3. Besides is figure 16 to see that the base unit 12 can be mounted on the side walls 4, 5 of the furniture body 2 and thus the swivel arm assembly 14 in comparison to the swivel arm assembly 14 of figure 13 offset away from the side walls 4, 5 in the direction of a furniture interior. Also in the assembly unit 15a after the Figures 17a - 17c a lateral adjustment solved by eg a linear adjustment of the fixed bearing (not shown) and in the assembly unit 15b according to Figures 18a - 18c the lateral adjustment of the loose bearing 58 is solved as a tailstock guide.

The height adjustment means 50 are used to adjust the relative position between the swivel arm arrangement 14 and the mounting plate 15a in the direction indicated by the double arrow P3.

The assembly for detachable attachment of the top flap 3 with the mounting plate 15a or 15b at the front end of the swivel arm assembly 14 is in the Figures 11 and 12 clarified. For this purpose, quick-connecting means 52 are provided, which on the pivot arm arrangement 14 comprise a pivotable latching lever 53 and a pin 54 close to the latching lever 53 and another pin 55 spaced apart from the latching lever 53, the longitudinal axes of the pins 54, 55 being parallel to the pivot axis of the Locking lever 53 run.

On the mounting plate 15a, 15b, the quick-connection means 52 comprise a latching lug 56 and a latching hook 57, which are designed to match the locking lever 53, the pin 54 and the pin 55.

After the upper flap 3 with the mounting plates 15a, 15b has been brought to the swivel arm arrangements 14 in the correct position, with the locking lever 53 pivoted counterclockwise, the pin 54 comes into a stop position in a notch of the locking hook 57 and at the same time the pin 55 comes into a notch in the locking hook 57 (see Fig . 17 ). Then the locking lever 53 is pivoted manually in a clockwise direction according to P4, so that a lug of the locking lever 53 engages in a recess of the locking lug 56 and the fixed anchorage is set up.

The disassembly is carried out by the reverse order of the steps that are necessary for assembly.

In figure 20 Another variant of a loose bearing 38 is shown, which has a self-aligning bearing 59 . The self-aligning bearing 59 can advantageously be arranged on a base plate 39 of the floating bearing 38 . For example, the height adjustment means 50 and/or the depth adjustment means 46 can be arranged on the base plate 39 . For example, the base plate 39 includes parts of the height adjustment means 50 and/or the depth adjustment means 46.

The pendulum bearing 59 comprises, for example, two pendulum elements in the form of a first pendulum arm 60 and a second pendulum arm 61 . For example, the first pendulum arm 60 is pivotally coupled to the second pendulum arm 61 via a second pivot axis 63 . A coupling member 66, for example, can be arranged on the second pendulum arm 61, which is designed to be connectable to a coupling element of the pivot arm arrangement of the fitting. The two pendulum arms 60, 61 of the pendulum bearing 59 are advantageously arranged one above the other. As a result, a space requirement is advantageous reduced.

In addition, the pendulum bearing 59 comprises, for example, a first guide element 64 and/or a second guide element 65. For example, the guide elements 64, 65 are spaced apart from one another and are formed opposite one another on the pendulum bearing 59. The second guide element 65 of the pendulum bearing 59 is advantageously provided in such a way that it movably guides the first pendulum arm 60, so that the first pendulum arm 60 is movably mounted in a pendulum arm movement plane longitudinally, in particular parallel, to the inside 3a of the upper flap 3 and, in particular, a comparatively large movement transversely is prevented to this level of pendulum arm movement. As a result, the first pendulum arm 60 is secured against tilting. The first guide member 64 of the pendulum bearing 59 is advantageously provided in such a way that it movably guides the second pendulum arm 61, so that the second pendulum arm 61 is movably mounted in a further pendulum arm movement plane along, in particular parallel, to the inside 3a of the upper flap 3 and, in particular, a comparatively large movement transverse to the plane of movement of the pendulum arm is prevented. As a result, the first and/or the second pendulum arm 60, 61 are secured against tilting. For example, a carriage-like mounting, in particular a carriage mounting, of the first and/or the second pendulum arm 60, 61 is realized by the first and/or second guide element 64, 65.

The second guide element 65 is advantageously present in one piece on the loose bearing 38 . The first guide element 64 is designed, for example, as a separate component. The first guide element 64 can be attached to the floating bearing 38, for example by means of a connecting element 67, for example in the form of a screw, a rivet or a bolt. The connecting element 67 can, for example, simultaneously form a pivot axis 62, 63, in particular the first pivot axis 62 of the self-aligning bearing 59. <u>Reference List</u> 1 Wall unit 36a main pocket 2 furniture body 36b side pocket 3 top flap 37 screw means 3a inside 38 floating bearing 4 Side wall 39 base plate 4a inside 40 screw means 4b face 41 cover 5 Side wall 42 base plate 6 underbody 43 wall section 7 topsoil 44 contact flange 8th back panel 44a top 9 top flap fitting 45 adjusting means 10 fitting unit 46 depth adjustment means 11 fitting unit 12 base unit 47 adjusting screw 13 means of guidance 48 lateral adjustment means 14 Swing arm arrangement 49 eccentric 14.1-14.7 swivel arm 50 height adjustment means 15a, 15b mounting plate 51 Snail 16 energy accumulator 52 quick connect means 17 adjustment unit 18 damper device 53 locking lever 19 base plate 54 Pen 20 cover plate 55 Pen 21 forehead section 56 detent 22 recess 57 latch hook 23 - 26 Base Plate Edge 58 floating bearing 27, 28 wall section 59 self-aligning bearing 29, 30 contact flange 60 dipper arm 31 material recess 61 dipper arm 32 wall section 62 pivot axis 33 screw 63 pivot axis 34 angle element 64 governing body 35 opening 65 governing body 36 material recess 66 coupling organ 67 fastener
