Description

Stellantrieb für Möbelteile  Actuator for furniture parts
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Stellantrieb zum Bewegen eines relativ zu einem Möbelkorpus bewegbar gelagerten Möbelteiles, umfassend: The present invention relates to an actuator for moving a relative to a furniture body movably mounted furniture part, comprising:
- zumindest einen schwenkbar gelagerten Stellarm zum Bewegen des bewegbaren Möbelteiles,  at least one pivotally mounted actuating arm for moving the movable furniture part,
- eine Federvorrichtung zur Kraftbeaufschlagung des Stellarmes,  a spring device for applying force to the actuating arm,
- eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung zum lösbaren Verriegeln des Stellarmes, wobei die Verriegelungsvorrichtung zumindest ein bewegbar gelagertes Verriegelungselement aufweist, welches in einer den Stellarm verriegelnden - A locking device for releasably locking the actuating arm, wherein the locking device has at least one movably mounted locking element, which in a locking arm locking
Stellung mit zumindest einer Rastmulde zusammenwirkt. Position cooperates with at least one detent recess.
Stellantriebe mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung zum Arretieren einer Schwenklage des Stellarmes werden insbesondere zum Bewegen von Möbelklappen verwendet, die relativ zu einem Möbelkorpus hochbewegbar gelagert sind. Durch die Federvorrichtung ist das Gewicht der Möbelklappe zumindest teilweise kompensierbar, sodass die Bewegung der Möbelklappe von der Federvorrichtung unterstützt und somit auch die Bedienung für einen Benutzer erleichtert wird. Kritische Situationen können sich dann ergeben, wenn die Möbelklappe noch nicht mit dem Stellarm verbunden ist. In einem solchen Fall wirkt auf die Federvorrichtung kein Gegengewicht, sodass der klappenlose Stellarm durch die Kraft der beaufschlagenden Federvorrichtung unkontrolliert ausschlagen und dabei schwere Verletzungen des Montagepersonals oder Beschädigungen von Objekten verursachen kann. Stellantriebe mit einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung zum lösbaren Arretieren einer Schwenklage des Stellarmes sind beispielsweise in der WO 2007/041736 A1 und in der WO 201 1/01 1800 A2 gezeigt. Actuators with a locking device for locking a pivotal position of the actuating arm are used in particular for moving furniture flaps, which are mounted hochbewegbar relative to a furniture body. By the spring device, the weight of the furniture flap is at least partially compensated, so that the movement of the furniture flap supported by the spring device and thus the operation is facilitated for a user. Critical situations may arise when the furniture flap is not yet connected to the actuator arm. In such a case, no counterweight acts on the spring device, so that the flapless actuator arm can deflect uncontrollably by the force of the spring device acting on and cause serious injury to the installation personnel or damage to objects. Actuators with a locking device for releasably locking a pivoting position of the actuating arm are shown, for example, in WO 2007/041736 A1 and in WO 201 1/01 1800 A2.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Stellantrieb der eingangs erwähnten Gattung mit einer komfortableren Entriegelungsmöglichkeit anzugeben. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben. Gemäß der Erfindung ist also vorgesehen, dass das Verriegelungselement sowohl durch ein manuell zu betätigendes Schaltelement als auch durch einen am Stellarm gelagerten Steuerteil, welcher durch eine Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles am Stellarm beaufschlagbar ist, von der zumindest einen Rastmulde entriegelbar ist. Mit anderen Worten ist eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung mit einem bewegbar gelagerten Verriegelungselement vorgesehen, welches sowohl durch eine manuelle Betätigung eines Schaltelementes als auch durch die Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles am Stellarm aus einer den Stellarm verriegelnden Stellung entriegelbar ist. Für den Monteur vor Ort ergibt sich dadurch der Vorteil, dass der Stellarm wahlweise durch Handbetätigung oder auch durch eine Montage der Möbelklappe am Stellarm aus der Verriegelungsstellung lösbar ist, wobei das Schaltelement und das Steuerteil jeweils mit demselben Verriegelungselement zusammenwirken. Das Schaltelement und das Steuerteil sind, vorzugsweise durch das Verriegelungselement, miteinander bewegungsgekoppelt verbunden, sodass sich bei einer Bewegung des Schaltelementes auch das Steuerteil und bei einer Bewegung des Steuerteiles auch das Schaltelement mitbewegt. Object of the present invention is to provide an actuator of the type mentioned above with a more comfortable unlocking option. This is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. According to the invention it is thus provided that the locking element can be unlocked both by a manually operable switching element and by a control arm mounted on the control part, which can be acted upon by an assembly of the movable furniture part on the actuating arm of the at least one detent recess. In other words, a locking device is provided with a movably mounted locking element which can be unlocked both by a manual operation of a switching element and by the mounting of the movable furniture part on the actuating arm from a position locking the actuating arm. For the fitter on site, this results in the advantage that the actuating arm can be released either by manual operation or by mounting the furniture flap on the actuating arm from the locking position, wherein the switching element and the control part cooperate with the same locking element. The switching element and the control part are, preferably by the locking element, coupled to each other in a motion-coupled manner, so that during a movement of the switching element and the control part and with a movement of the control part also moves the switching element.
Das Schaltelement kann zwischen einer ersten Schaltstellung und einer zweiten Schaltstellung bewegbar gelagert sein, wobei in der ersten Schaltstellung das Verriegelungselement mit der zumindest einen Rastmulde verriegelt ist und dass in der zweiten Schaltstellung das Verriegelungselement von der Rastmulde entriegelbar ist. Das Schaltelement ist dabei zur Handbetätigung ausgebildet oder kann einen Adapter zur Aufnahme eines Werkzeuges aufweisen, wobei die Verriegelung zwischen dem Verriegelungselement und der zumindest einen Rastmulde durch Kraftausübung auf das Schaltelement lösbar ist. The switching element may be movably mounted between a first switching position and a second switching position, wherein in the first switching position, the locking element is locked to the at least one detent recess and that in the second switching position, the locking element of the detent recess is unlocked. The switching element is designed for manual operation or may have an adapter for receiving a tool, wherein the locking between the locking element and the at least one detent recess is releasable by applying force to the switching element.
Wird die Kraftausübung auf das Schaltelement aufgehoben bzw. die Verbindung zwischen dem bewegbaren Möbelteil und dem Stellarm gelöst, so wird das Verriegelungselement durch die Kraft eines Federelementes sofort wieder in die Verriegelungsstellung bewegt, sodass der Stellarm in seiner Schwenklage verriegelt ist und damit nicht weiter in Richtung Offenstellung ausschlagen kann. Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Stellarm durch das Zusammenwirken des Verriegelungselementes mit der zumindest einen Rastmulde in einer Schließstellung verriegelbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist das bewegbare Möbelteil mit dem in der Schließstellung befindlichen Stellarm verbindbar. Es kann aber auch zumindest eine zweite Rastmulde vorgesehen sein, wobei der Stellarm durch das Zusammenwirken des Verriegelungselementes mit der zweiten Rastmulde in einer Offenstellung verriegelbar ist. Falls zweckmäßig, kann eine dritte Rastmulde vorgesehen werden, wobei der Stellarm durch das Zusammenwirken des Verriegelungselementes mit der dritten Rastmulde in einer zwischen der Offenstellung und der Schließstellung befindlichen Zwischenstellung, welche vorzugsweise der halb geöffneten Stellung des Stellarmes entspricht, verriegelbar ist. If the exercise of force on the switching element canceled or solved the connection between the movable furniture part and the actuator arm, it will Locking element immediately moved back into the locking position by the force of a spring element, so that the actuating arm is locked in its pivotal position and thus can not turn further in the direction of the open position. According to one embodiment, it can be provided that the actuating arm can be locked in a closed position by the interaction of the locking element with the at least one detent recess. In this way, the movable furniture part can be connected to the actuating arm located in the closed position. But it can also be provided at least a second detent recess, wherein the actuating arm can be locked by the interaction of the locking element with the second detent recess in an open position. If appropriate, a third detent recess may be provided, wherein the actuating arm by the interaction of the locking element with the third detent recess in an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position, which preferably corresponds to the half-open position of the actuating arm, can be locked.
Insgesamt ergeben sich dadurch zumindest drei verschiedene Rastpositionen des Stellarmes (nämlich die Schließstellung, die Offenstellung und die halb geöffnete Stellung des Stellarmes), sodass der Stellarm in diesen drei vorgegebenen Schwenkstellungen mit der Möbelklappe verbindbar ist. Overall, this results in at least three different locking positions of the actuating arm (namely, the closed position, the open position and the half-open position of the actuating arm), so that the actuating arm in these three predetermined pivot positions with the furniture flap is connectable.

Fig. 1 a zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Möbels 1 , wobei ein bewegbares Möbelteil 3 durch einen Stellantrieb 4 um eine horizontal verlaufende Drehachse relativ zu einem Möbelkorpus 2 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Durch den Stellantrieb 4 ist das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 ausgehend von einer vertikalen Schließstellung in eine relativ zum Möbelkorpus 2 angehobene Lage (und in die umgekehrte Richtung) bewegbar. Der Stellantrieb 4 weist ein am Möbelkorpus 2 zu befestigendes Gehäuse 5 und zumindest einen relativ zum Gehäuse 5 schwenkbar gelagerten Stellarm 6 zum Bewegen des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 auf. Zur Kraftbeaufschlagung des Stellarmes 6 ist eine Federvorrichtung 7 vorgesehen, sodass die Bedienung des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 für einen Benutzer erleichtert wird. Der Stellarm 6 ist durch eine Rastvorrichtung 23 mit einem am bewegbaren Möbelteil 3 zu befestigenden Beschlagteil 22 lösbar verrastbar. 1 a shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 1, wherein a movable furniture part 3 is mounted so as to be pivotable relative to a furniture carcass 2 by an actuator 4 about a horizontally extending axis of rotation. By the actuator 4, the movable furniture part 3, starting from a vertical closed position in a relative to the furniture body 2 raised position (and in the reverse direction) movable. The actuator 4 has a housing 5 to be fastened to the furniture body 2 and at least one actuating arm 6 pivotally mounted relative to the housing 5 for moving the movable furniture part 3. For applying force to the actuating arm 6, a spring device 7 is provided, so that the operation of the movable furniture part 3 is facilitated for a user. The actuating arm 6 can be releasably latched by a latching device 23 with a fitting part 22 to be fastened to the movable furniture part 3.
Fig.1 b zeigt den Stellantrieb 4 gemäß einem möglichen Ausführungsbeispiel. Am Gehäuse 5 ist die Federvorrichtung 7 (beispielsweise zumindest eine als Schraubenfeder ausgebildete Druckfeder) gelagert, welche sich an einer ortsfesten Gelenkachse A abstützt und gegen die Gelenkachse B drückt. Die Gelenkachse B ist an einem ersten Hebelende eines zweiarmigen Umlenkhebels 9 gelagert, welcher um die Gelenkachse C drehbar gelagert ist. Das zweite Hebelende des Umlenkhebels 9 steht über die Gelenkachse D mit einem Schubhebel 10 in Verbindung, welcher über einen Bolzen 1 1 mit einem um eine Drehachse E drehbaren Hebel 12 gelenkig verbunden ist. Durch eine Einsteilvorrichtung 13 ist der Abstand des Bolzens 1 1 entlang einer Führung des Hebels 12 relativ zur Gelenkachse E und damit der wirksame Hebelarm zwischen dem Bolzen 1 1 und der Gelenkachse E veränderbar, sodass ein auf den Stellarm 6 ausgeübtes Drehmoment der Federvorrichtung 7 entsprechend dem jeweiligen Gewicht des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 einstellbar ist. Der Hebel 12 ist über die Gelenkachsen F, G mit Hebeln 8, 14 gelenkig verbunden, wobei die Hebel 8, 14 über die Gelenkachsen H, I mit dem Stellarm 6 schwenkbar verbunden sind. Der Stellantrieb 4 umfasst ferner eine Dämpfvorrichtung 15 in Form eines hydraulischen Fluiddämpfers, welcher im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit ausgeführt ist. Bei einer Schließbewegung des Stellarmes 6 trifft der um die Gelenkachse E schwenkbare Hebel 12 auf einen Stößel der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit auf, woraufhin zur Ausführung eines Dämpfungshubes eine Relativbewegung zwischen dem Zylinder und dem Kolben der Dämpfvorrichtung 15 erfolgt und damit die Bewegung des Hebels 12 (und damit des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3) gegen Ende der Schließbewegung bis hin zur vollständigen Schließstellung abgebremst wird. 1b shows the actuator 4 according to a possible embodiment. On the housing 5, the spring device 7 (for example, at least designed as a helical spring compression spring) is mounted, which is supported on a stationary hinge axis A and presses against the hinge axis B. The hinge axis B is mounted on a first lever end of a two-armed reversing lever 9, which is rotatably mounted about the hinge axis C. The second end of the lever lever 9 is about the hinge axis D with a push lever 10 in conjunction, which articulates via a pin 1 1 with a rotatable about a rotation axis E lever 12 connected is. By an adjusting device 13, the distance of the bolt 1 1 along a guide of the lever 12 relative to the hinge axis E and thus the effective lever arm between the pin 1 1 and the hinge axis E is variable, so that a force exerted on the control arm 6 torque of the spring device 7 according to respective weight of the movable furniture part 3 is adjustable. The lever 12 is articulated via the hinge axes F, G with levers 8, 14, wherein the levers 8, 14 are pivotally connected via the hinge axes H, I with the actuating arm 6. The actuator 4 further includes a damping device 15 in the form of a hydraulic fluid damper, which is designed in the illustrated embodiment as a piston-cylinder unit. During a closing movement of the actuating arm 6, the lever 12, which is pivotable about the articulation axis E, impinges on a plunger of the piston-cylinder unit, whereupon a relative movement takes place between the cylinder and the piston of the damping device 15 and thus the movement of the lever 12 in order to execute a damping stroke (And thus the movable furniture part 3) is braked towards the end of the closing movement to the full closed position.
Der Möbelbeschlag 4 weist eine Begrenzungsvorrichtung 16 zur Begrenzung eines Öffnungswinkels einer relativen Schwenkbewegung des Stellarmes 6 und dem Gehäuse 5 auf, sodass also der maximale Schwenkweg des Stellarmes 6 (und damit jener des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3) begrenzbar ist. Die Begrenzungsvorrichtung 16 umfasst ein am Hebel 8 bewegbar gelagertes Betätigungselement 16a, wobei durch eine manuelle oder durch eine mittels Werkzeug erfolgende Betätigung des Betätigungselementes 16a der maximale Öffnungswinkel des Stellarmes 6 einstellbar begrenzbar ist. Diese Begrenzungsvorrichtung 16 ist beispielsweise dann vorteilhaft, wenn sich das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 in Montagelage unmittelbar unter einer Raumdecke befindet und eine Kollision des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 mit dieser Raumdecke beim Öffnen verhindert werden soll. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel bilden die Hebel 8, 14 zusammen mit den Gelenkachsen F, G, H, I ein Gelenkviereck aus, wobei durch die Begrenzungsvorrichtung 16 der Abstand zwischen den Hebeln 8, 14 begrenzbar ist. The furniture fitting 4 has a limiting device 16 for limiting an opening angle of a relative pivoting movement of the actuating arm 6 and the housing 5, so that therefore the maximum pivoting of the actuating arm 6 (and thus that of the movable furniture part 3) is limited. The limiting device 16 comprises an actuating element 16a movably mounted on the lever 8, wherein the maximum opening angle of the actuating arm 6 can be limited in an adjustable manner by manual or by means of actuation of the actuating element 16a by means of a tool. This limiting device 16 is advantageous, for example, when the movable furniture part 3 is directly under a ceiling in the mounted position and a collision of the movable furniture part 3 with this ceiling is to be prevented when opening. In the embodiment shown, the levers 8, 14 form a four-bar linkage together with the joint axes F, G, H, I, wherein the distance between the levers 8, 14 can be limited by the limiting device 16.
Der Stellantrieb 4 weist ferner eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung 17 zum Verriegeln einer Schwenklage des Stellarmes 6 auf. Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung 17 ist dann von Vorteil, wenn das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 noch nicht mit dem Stellarm 6 verbunden ist, sodass ein unkontrolliertes Ausschlagen des klappenlosen Stellarmes 6 in Öffnungsrichtung aufgrund des von der Federvorrichtung 7 auf den Stellarm 6 ausgeübten Drehmomentes verhindert wird. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 17 umfasst ein manuell zu betätigendes Schaltelement 18 und ein am Stellarm 6 bewegbar gelagertes Steuerteil 19, welches durch die Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 am Stellarm 6 (d.h. durch das am bewegbaren Möbelteil 3 zu befestigende Beschlagteil 22) beaufschlagbar ist. Durch Kraftausübung auf das Schaltelement 18 sowie durch Kraftausübung auf das Steuerteil 19 (nämlich durch die Herstellung der Verbindung zwischen dem Stellarm 6 und dem Beschlagteil 22 durch die Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3) ist ein Verriegelungselement 20 ausgehend von einer den Stellarm 6 verriegelnden Stellung in eine den Stellarm 6 freigebende Stellung entlang eines Langlochs 21 des Stellarmes 6 bewegbar gelagert. Das Verriegelungselement 20 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als zylindrischer Bolzen ausgeführt. Am Stellarm 6 ist eine Rastvorrichtung 23 mit einem federnden Rasthebel gelagert, durch welchen der Stellarm 6 mit dem am bewegbaren Möbelteil 3 zu befestigenden Beschlagteil 22 lösbar verrastbar ist. Am Stellarm 6 ist zumindest eine Einsteilvorrichtung 27 mit einem Einstellrad vorhanden, wobei durch Drehung des Einstellrades eine Lage des Stellarmes 6 relativ zum Beschlagteil 22 einstellbar ist. The actuator 4 further comprises a locking device 17 for locking a pivotal position of the actuating arm 6. This locking device 17 is then of Advantage, when the movable furniture part 3 is not yet connected to the actuator arm 6, so that uncontrolled deflection of the flapless actuator arm 6 is prevented in the opening direction due to the force exerted by the spring device 7 on the actuator arm 6 torque. The locking device 17 comprises a manually operable switching element 18 and a control arm 19 movably mounted on the control arm 19, which can be acted upon by the assembly of the movable furniture part 3 on the actuating arm 6 (ie by the movable furniture part 3 to be fastened fitting part 22). By applying force to the switching element 18 and by exerting force on the control part 19 (namely, by establishing the connection between the actuating arm 6 and the fitting part 22 by the assembly of the movable furniture part 3) is a locking element 20, starting from a locking arm 6 locking position in one the actuating arm 6 releasing position along a slot 21 of the actuating arm 6 movably mounted. The locking element 20 is designed in the illustrated embodiment as a cylindrical bolt. On the actuating arm 6, a locking device 23 is mounted with a resilient latching lever, by means of which the actuating arm 6 with the furniture part 3 to be fastened fitting part 22 is releasably latched. On adjusting arm 6 at least one adjusting device 27 is provided with a dial, wherein by rotation of the dial a position of the actuating arm 6 relative to the fitting part 22 is adjustable.
Fig. 2a zeigt den Stellantrieb 4 gemäß Fig. 1 b in einem Querschnitt. Die Begrenzungsvorrichtung 16 zur Begrenzung des Öffnungswinkels des Stellarmes 6 umfasst einen Anschlag 24, wobei durch eine Betätigung des Betätigungselementes 16a eine Lage des Anschlages 24, vorzugsweise stufenlos, einstellbar ist. Das Betätigungselement 16a ist am Hebel 8 gelagert, der Anschlag 24 wirkt in einer den Öffnungswinkel begrenzenden Stellung mit dem Hebel 14, vorzugsweise mit einer Materialstärke des Hebels 14, zusammen. In Fig. 2a ist der Stellarm 6 durch die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 17 verriegelt, sodass ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen bzw. Ausschlagen des Stellarmes 6 in jenem Schwenkbereich, in welchem die Federvorrichtung 7 den Stellarm 6 in Öffnungsrichtung beaufschlagt, verhindert ist. Fig. 2a shows the actuator 4 of FIG. 1 b in a cross section. The limiting device 16 for limiting the opening angle of the actuating arm 6 comprises a stop 24, wherein a position of the stop 24, preferably continuously, is adjustable by an actuation of the actuating element 16a. The actuating element 16a is mounted on the lever 8, the stop 24 acts in a position limiting the opening angle with the lever 14, preferably with a material thickness of the lever 14, together. In Fig. 2a, the actuator arm 6 is locked by the locking device 17, so that an unintentional opening or knocking out of the actuating arm 6 in that pivotal region in which the spring device 7 acts on the actuating arm 6 in the opening direction is prevented.
Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 17 umfasst das Verriegelungselement 20, durch welches in einer den Stellarm 6 verriegelnden Stellung die Gelenkachse I, das Schaltelement 18 und das Steuerteil 19 miteinander verriegelbar sind. Der Stellarm 6 ist hierbei in der Schließstellung arretiert, wobei das Verriegelungselement 20 in einer ersten Rastmulde 28a des Hebels 8 aufgenommen ist. Zum Verriegeln des Stellarmes 6 in einer Offenstellung ist eine zweite Rastmulde 28b vorgesehen, wobei der Stellarm 6 in der Offenstellung in der zweiten Rastmulde 28b aufnehmbar ist. Das Schaltelement 18 ist in der gezeigten Figur am Stellarm 6 in Richtung des Pfeils 29 (Fig. 2b) bewegbar gelagert und weist zumindest eine erste Führungsbahn 25 zur verschiebbaren Lagerung des Verriegelungselementes 20 und eine zweite Führungsbahn 26 zur verschiebbaren Lagerung der Gelenkachse I auf, wobei das Verriegelungselement 20 durch eine manuelle Betätigung des Schaltelementes 18 oder durch die Beaufschlagung des Steuerteiles 19 in oder entlang der ersten Führungsbahn 25 und die Gelenkachse I in oder entlang der zweiten Führungsbahn 26 bewegbar gelagert sind. Das Steuerteil 19 kann als ein um eine Drehachse 30 schwenkbar gelagerter Hebel ausgebildet sein, wobei ein erstes Hebelende des Hebels (bei Bezugszeichen 19) bei der Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 durch das Beschlagteil 22 beaufschlagbar ist und wobei ein zweites Hebelende des Steuerteiles 19 eine Führung 31 zur verschiebbaren Lagerung des Verriegelungselementes 20 aufweist. Bei der Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 wird zunächst das am bewegbaren Möbelteil 3 vormontierte Beschlagteil 22 in ein Lager 32 des Stellarmes 6 eingehängt, durch anschließendes Verschwenken ist das Beschlagteil 22 (und damit das bewegbare Möbelteil 3) mit dem Rasthebel der Rastvorrichtung 23 verrastbar. Fig. 2b zeigt den in Fig. 2a eingekreisten Bereich in einer vergrößerten Ansicht. The locking device 17 comprises the locking element 20, through which in a locking arm 6 the locking position, the hinge axis I, the switching element 18th and the control part 19 are lockable with each other. The actuating arm 6 is in this case locked in the closed position, wherein the locking element 20 is received in a first detent recess 28a of the lever 8. For locking the actuating arm 6 in an open position, a second detent recess 28b is provided, wherein the actuating arm 6 in the open position in the second detent recess 28b is receivable. The switching element 18 is movably mounted in the figure shown on the actuating arm 6 in the direction of arrow 29 (Fig. 2b) and has at least a first guide track 25 for slidably supporting the locking element 20 and a second guide track 26 for slidably supporting the hinge axis I, wherein the locking element 20 are movably supported by a manual actuation of the switching element 18 or by the action of the control member 19 in or along the first guide track 25 and the hinge axis I in or along the second guide track 26. The control part 19 may be formed as a pivotally mounted about a rotation axis lever 30, wherein a first end of the lever lever (at reference numeral 19) in the assembly of the movable furniture part 3 is acted upon by the fitting part 22 and wherein a second end of the control member 19 a guide 31 has for displaceable mounting of the locking element 20. When mounting the movable furniture part 3, the pre-assembled on the movable furniture part 3 fitting 22 is first hung in a bearing 32 of the actuating arm 6, by subsequent pivoting the fitting part 22 (and thus the movable furniture part 3) with the locking lever of the latching device 23 can be latched. Fig. 2b shows the circled in Fig. 2a area in an enlarged view.
Fig. 3a zeigt den Stellantrieb 4 gemäß den Figuren 2a, 2b in einer entriegelten Stellung des Stellarmes 6. Wird das Schaltelement 18 ausgehend von Fig. 2b durch manuelle Kraftausübung in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeils 29 bewegt, so wird das Verriegelungselement 20 aus der Rastmulde 28a bewegt und entlang der ersten Führungsbahn 25 des Schaltelementes 18 verschoben, die Gelenkachse I wird entlang der zweiten Führungsbahn 26 des Schaltelementes 18 bewegt, das Steuerteil 19 wird um die Drehachse 30 verschwenkt und das Verriegelungselement 20 wird entlang der Führung 31 des Steuerteiles 19 verschoben. Nichts anderes erfolgt bei der Montage des bewegbaren Möbelteiles 3 am Stellarm 6. In diesem Fall würde das am bewegbaren Möbelteil 3 zu befestigende Beschlagteil 22 den Hebelarm des Steuerteiles (bei Bezugszeichen 19) im Uhrzeigersinn beaufschlagen, sodass die Entriegelung des Verriegelungselementes 20 von der Rastmulde 28a und die oben beschriebenen Bewegungsabläufe in einer identischen Weise erfolgen. Das Schaltelement 18 würde sich dann, durch die Montage des Beschlagteiles 22 am Stellarm 6, von selbst in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeils 29 (Fig. 2b) bewegen. Für den Benutzer ist es somit möglich, entweder durch eine manuelle Betätigung des Schaltelementes 18 in Richtung des Pfeils 29 oder wahlweise durch die Montage des Beschlagteiles 22 am Stellarm 6 eine Entriegelung des Stellarmes 6 herbeizuführen. Nach erfolgter Entriegelung ist der Stellarm 6 durch Kraftausübung auf das Schaltelement 18 in Richtung des Pfeils 29 weiter in Richtung Offenstellung bewegbar. 3a shows the actuator 4 according to the figures 2a, 2b in an unlocked position of the actuating arm 6. If the switching element 18 moves from Fig. 2b by manual application of force in the direction of the arrow 29, the locking element 20 from the detent recess 28a moved and moved along the first guide track 25 of the switching element 18, the hinge axis I is moved along the second guide track 26 of the switching element 18, the control member 19 is pivoted about the rotation axis 30 and the locking member 20 is displaced along the guide 31 of the control member 19. Nothing else takes place during the assembly of the movable furniture part 3 on the actuating arm 6.
