Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drive device for a movable furniture part, with a locking element, a release member and a latchable ejector device, by means of which the movable furniture part can be ejected from a closed position by an energy storage device in the opening direction, the ejector device being latched by overpressing the movable furniture part
  • the closing position can be unlocked in the closing direction, and an overpressure protection is provided which prevents the ejector from being unlocked during a closing process and when the movable furniture part moves beyond the closed position into the overpressed position, the ejector being unlockable via a control element that is connected to the movable furniture part is movable from a closed position into the overpressure position, and a method for opening and closing a movable furniture part.
  • EP 2 208 440 A1 discloses a locking fitting for a pull-out guide in which a pretensioned switching element can be latched on a switching cam.
  • the WO 2014/165877 discloses a drive device for a movable furniture part, in which a pivotable ejection lever is provided for ejecting the movable furniture part and can be locked in a closed position.
  • the movable furniture part can be moved into an overpressure position in order to then eject the furniture part in the opening direction via the ejector lever and an energy store. If, during a closing process, the movable furniture part is moved beyond the closed position into the overpressure position, a blocking element is provided which prevents the ejector from unlocking when the overpressure position is reached. This prevents the movable furniture part from being accidentally ejected again if the closing speed is too high.
  • the blocking element can be moved from a blocking position into a release position with a time delay via a reset device. An immediate opening of the movable furniture part after a closing process is thus prevented.
  • the time delay takes place by switching the blocking element after the closing process. In this respect, there can be an undesirably long delay before the next opening process can be carried out.
  • the blocking element is mechanically stressed when attempting to open it.
  • an overpressure protection with a locking element is ensured, which in a first position blocks a movement of the control element into the actuating position and in a second position releases access for the control element to an actuating position from which the control element can unlock the ejection device.
  • the locking element for overpressure protection can block the control and only then release access to the actuation position when it is to be unlocked again.
  • the locking element thus blocks the control element on the way to the actuation position, so that the time until the next unlocking process can be set as required.
  • the movable furniture part can preferably be moved together with the control element in the closing direction, a slide which is connected to a part of the latching receptacle then also being moved. As a result, the locking receptacle can be moved into a release position.
  • the ejection device preferably comprises a housing on which a guide track for the control element is formed.
  • a pin which engages in the guide track can then be formed on the control element, wherein the locking element can block the pin and thus the control element from moving into the actuating position.
  • the control element can be arranged in the actuating position adjacent to a slide which, when unlocked by the control element, can be displaced against the force of a spring.
  • the slide can be designed in a stepped manner adjacent to the control element and form a receptacle for a pin of the control element, in particular an angular receptacle.
  • the locking element is preferably movably mounted on the slide.
  • the locking element can be arranged on the slide or the housing in a displaceable or pivotable manner.
  • the release member comprises a damper, which brakes the movement of the locking element from the first to the second position.
  • the damper can be designed as a linear damper that is pretensioned into the starting position by a spring.
  • the damper is designed as a rotary damper which is coupled to the locking element via a mechanism.
  • another mechanical timing element can also be provided for the delayed movement of the locking element.
  • Simple mechanical timers are e.g. Suction cups with a small hole that break the contact with a surface due to the inflowing air or an elastomer with a slowed return movement.
  • the tensioning process for the energy store of the ejector device takes place during a closing movement of the movable furniture part, preferably at a distance from the self-closing position, for example at least 25 mm from the self-closing position in a range between 100 mm to 40 mm before the closed position. It is also possible for the self-closing mechanism to tension part of the spring energy of the ejection device, so that the ejection device only engages in the effective area of the self-closing mechanism.
  • a first pin can be provided on the control element, which is guided in a guideway on a housing, and a second pin which engages on the driver which engages with the activator can be brought.
  • the driver can be moved relative to the control element, the control element during an ejection movement is arranged in a different position relative to the driver than during a closing movement.
  • a movable furniture part is ejected after an ejector device has been unlocked.
  • the movable furniture part is then moved in the closing direction in order to tension an energy storage device, a control element coupled to the driver being moved along a guide path.
  • the control element is deposited on a latching receptacle on the guide track and / or a locking element, the locking element then being moved into a release position in order to move the control element further along the latching receptacle or the locking element into an actuating position in which the control element can unlock the ejector device .

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Antriebsvorrichtung für ein bewegbares Möbelteil, mit einem Sperrelement, einem Freigabeglied und einer verrastbaren Ausstoßvorrichtung, mittels der das bewegbare Möbelteil aus einer Schließposition durch einen Kraftspeicher in Öffnungsrichtung auswerfbar ist, wobei die Ausstoßvorrichtung durch ein Überdrücken des bewegbaren Möbelteils aus der verrasteten Schließposition in Schließrichtung entriegelbar ist, und ein Überdrückschutz vorhanden ist, der verhindert, dass bei einem Schließvorgang und bei einer Bewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils über die Schließposition hinaus in die Überdrückstellung ein Entriegeln der Ausstoßvorrichtung erfolgt, wobei die Ausstoßvorrichtung über ein Steuerelement entriegelbar ist, das mit dem bewegbaren Möbelteil von einer Schließposition in die Überdrückstellung bewegbar ist, und ein Verfahren zum Öffnen und Schließen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils.The present invention relates to a drive device for a movable furniture part, with a locking element, a release member and a latchable ejector device, by means of which the movable furniture part can be ejected from a closed position by an energy storage device in the opening direction, the ejector device being latched by overpressing the movable furniture part The closing position can be unlocked in the closing direction, and an overpressure protection is provided which prevents the ejector from being unlocked during a closing process and when the movable furniture part moves beyond the closed position into the overpressed position, the ejector being unlockable via a control element that is connected to the movable furniture part is movable from a closed position into the overpressure position, and a method for opening and closing a movable furniture part.

EP 2 208 440 A1 offenbart einen Rastbeschlag für eine Auszugsführung, bei der ein vorgespanntes Schaltelement an einer Schaltkurve verrastbar ist. EP 2 208 440 A1 discloses a locking fitting for a pull-out guide in which a pretensioned switching element can be latched on a switching cam.

Die WO 2014/165877 offenbart eine Antriebsvorrichtung für ein bewegbares Möbelteil, bei dem zum Ausstoßen des bewegbaren Möbelteils ein verschwenkbarer Ausstoßhebel vorgesehen ist, der in einer Schließposition verrastbar ist. Zum Entriegeln kann das bewegbare Möbelteil in eine Überdrückstellung bewegt werden, um dann das Möbelteil über den Ausstoßhebel und einen Kraftspeicher in Öffnungsrichtung auszuwerfen. Wird bei einem Schließvorgang das bewegbare Möbelteil über die Schließposition hinaus in die Überdrückstellung bewegt, ist ein Blockierelement vorgesehen, das bei Erreichen der Überdrückstellung eine Entriegelung der Ausstoßvorrichtung verhindert. Dadurch wird vermieden, dass bei einer zu hohen Schließgeschwindigkeit das bewegbare Möbelteil versehentlich wieder ausgeworfen wird. Das Blockierelement ist dabei über eine Rückstellvorrichtung von einer Blockierstellung in eine Freigabestellung zeitverzögert bewegbar. Ein sofortiges Öffnen des bewegbaren Möbelteils nach einem Schließvorgang wird damit verhindert. Die Zeitverzögerung erfolgt über ein Schalten des Blockierelementes nach dem Schließvorgang. Insofern kann es zu einer unerwünscht langen Verzögerung kommen, bevor der nächste Öffnungsvorgang ausgeführt werden kann. Zudem wird das Blockierelement bei einem Öffnungsversuch mechanisch beansprucht.The WO 2014/165877 discloses a drive device for a movable furniture part, in which a pivotable ejection lever is provided for ejecting the movable furniture part and can be locked in a closed position. For unlocking, the movable furniture part can be moved into an overpressure position in order to then eject the furniture part in the opening direction via the ejector lever and an energy store. If, during a closing process, the movable furniture part is moved beyond the closed position into the overpressure position, a blocking element is provided which prevents the ejector from unlocking when the overpressure position is reached. This prevents the movable furniture part from being accidentally ejected again if the closing speed is too high. The blocking element can be moved from a blocking position into a release position with a time delay via a reset device. An immediate opening of the movable furniture part after a closing process is thus prevented. The time delay takes place by switching the blocking element after the closing process. In this respect, there can be an undesirably long delay before the next opening process can be carried out. In addition, the blocking element is mechanically stressed when attempting to open it.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Antriebsvorrichtung für ein bewegbares Möbelteil und ein Verfahren zum Öffnen und Schließen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils zu schaffen, mit dem ein sicherer Überdrückschutz mit einfachen mechanischen Mitteln erhalten werden kann.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a drive device for a movable furniture part and a method for opening and closing a To create movable furniture part with which a secure overpressure protection can be obtained with simple mechanical means.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 sowie einem Verfahren zum Öffnen und Schließen eines bewegbaren Möbelteils mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 9 gelöst.This object is achieved with a drive device with the features of claim 1 and a method for opening and closing a movable furniture part with the features of claim 9.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Antriebsvorrichtung wird ein Überdrückschutz mit einem Sperrelement gewährleistet, das in einer ersten Position eine Bewegung des Steuerelementes in die Betätigungsposition blockiert und in einer zweiten Position den Zugang für das Steuerelement zu einer Betätigungsposition freigibt, aus der das Steuerelement die Ausstoßvorrichtung entriegeln kann. Dadurch kann bei einer kontinuierlichen Bewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils in Schließrichtung in die Schließposition und über die Schließposition hinaus in die Überdrückstellung das Sperrelement für einen Überdrückschutz das Steuerelement blockieren und erst dann einen Zugang zu der Betätigungsposition freigeben, wenn ein erneutes Entriegeln stattfinden soll. Das Sperrelement blockiert somit das Steuerelement auf dem Weg in die Betätigungsposition, so dass je nach Bedarf die Zeitdauer bis zu einem nächsten Entriegelungsvorgang eingestellt werden kann. Es ist nicht erforderlich, ein Blockierelement einzusetzen, das eine Entriegelung erst nach Erreichen der Schließposition blockiert, sondern das Sperrelement ist schon wirksam, wenn sich das bewegbare Möbelteil in einer Überdrückstellung oder auf dem Weg von der Überdrückstellung in die Schließposition befindet. Auf das Sperrelement wirken dabei keine Kräfte durch das bewegbare Möbelteil, sondern nur Kräfte des Steuerelementes, das direkt oder indirekt über eine Feder in die Betätigungsposition vorgespannt ist.In the drive device according to the invention, an overpressure protection with a locking element is ensured, which in a first position blocks a movement of the control element into the actuating position and in a second position releases access for the control element to an actuating position from which the control element can unlock the ejection device. As a result, with a continuous movement of the movable furniture part in the closing direction into the closed position and beyond the closed position into the overpressure position, the locking element for overpressure protection can block the control and only then release access to the actuation position when it is to be unlocked again. The locking element thus blocks the control element on the way to the actuation position, so that the time until the next unlocking process can be set as required. It is not necessary to use a blocking element that blocks unlocking only after reaching the closed position, but the blocking element is already effective when the movable furniture part is in an overpressure position or on the way from the overpressure position to the closed position. In this case, no forces from the movable furniture part act on the locking element, but only forces from the control element, which is pretensioned directly or indirectly via a spring into the actuating position.

Vorzugsweise ist für eine Entriegelung der Ausstoßvorrichtung das bewegbare Möbelteil zusammen mit dem Steuerelement in Schließrichtung bewegbar, wobei dann auch ein Schieber bewegt wird, der mit einem Teil der Rastaufnahme verbunden ist. Dadurch kann die Rastaufnahme in eine Freigabestellung bewegt werden.For unlocking the ejector device, the movable furniture part can preferably be moved together with the control element in the closing direction, a slide which is connected to a part of the latching receptacle then also being moved. As a result, the locking receptacle can be moved into a release position.

Die Ausstoßvorrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise ein Gehäuse, an dem eine Führungsbahn für das Steuerelement ausgebildet ist. An dem Steuerelement kann dann ein Stift ausgebildet sein, der in die Führungsbahn eingreift, wobei das Sperrelement den Stift und damit das Steuerelement an einer Bewegung in die Betätigungsposition blockieren kann.The ejection device preferably comprises a housing on which a guide track for the control element is formed. A pin which engages in the guide track can then be formed on the control element, wherein the locking element can block the pin and thus the control element from moving into the actuating position.

Für eine einfache Entriegelung der Ausstoßvorrichtung kann das Steuerelement in der Betätigungsposition benachbart zu einem Schieber angeordnet sein, der bei einer Entriegelung durch das Steuerelement gegen die Kraft einer Feder verschiebbar ist. Dabei kann der Schieber benachbart zu dem Steuerelement gestuft ausgebildet sein und eine Aufnahme für einen Stift des Steuerelementes ausbilden, insbesondere eine winkelförmige Aufnahme. Wenn das Steuerelement mit dem Stift in der Aufnahme angeordnet ist, befindet es sich in einer Betätigungsposition, in der eine Entriegelung eingeleitet werden kann.For a simple unlocking of the ejection device, the control element can be arranged in the actuating position adjacent to a slide which, when unlocked by the control element, can be displaced against the force of a spring. The slide can be designed in a stepped manner adjacent to the control element and form a receptacle for a pin of the control element, in particular an angular receptacle. When the control element is arranged with the pin in the receptacle, it is in an actuating position in which unlocking can be initiated.

Vorzugsweise ist an dem Schieber das Sperrelement bewegbar gelagert. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, an einem Gehäuse der Ausstoßvorrichtung das Sperrelement bewegbar zu lagern. Das Sperrelement kann verschiebbar oder verschwenkbar an dem Schieber oder dem Gehäuse angeordnet sein.The locking element is preferably movably mounted on the slide. Alternatively, it is also possible to mount the locking element movably on a housing of the ejection device. The locking element can be arranged on the slide or the housing in a displaceable or pivotable manner.

Gemäß der Erfindung umfasst das Freigabeglied einen Dämpfer, der die Bewegung des Sperrelementes von der ersten in die zweite Position abbremst. Der Dämpfer kann dabei als Lineardämpfer ausgebildet sein, der durch eine Feder in die Ausgangsposition vorgespannt ist. Alternativ ist der Dämpfer als Rotationsdämpfer ausgebildet, der über eine Mechanik mit dem Sperrelement gekoppelt ist. Für die verzögerte Bewegung des Sperrelementes kann alternativ aber erfindungsgemäß auch ein anderes mechanisches Zeitglied vorgesehen sein. Einfache mechanische Zeitglieder sind z.B. Saugnäpfe mit einem kleinen Loch, die den Kontakt mit einer Fläche auf Grund der einströmenden Luft lösen oder ein Elastomer mit einer verlangsamten Rückstellbewegung.According to the invention, the release member comprises a damper, which brakes the movement of the locking element from the first to the second position. The damper can be designed as a linear damper that is pretensioned into the starting position by a spring. Alternatively, the damper is designed as a rotary damper which is coupled to the locking element via a mechanism. Alternatively, however, according to the invention, another mechanical timing element can also be provided for the delayed movement of the locking element. Simple mechanical timers are e.g. Suction cups with a small hole that break the contact with a surface due to the inflowing air or an elastomer with a slowed return movement.

Der Spannvorgang für den Kraftspeicher der Ausstoßvorrichtung erfolgt bei einer Schließbewegung des bewegbaren Möbelteils vorzugsweise beabstandet von der Selbsteinzugsposition, beispielsweise mindestens 25 mm beabstandet von der Selbsteinzugsposition in einem Bereich zwischen 100 mm bis 40 mm vor der Schließposition. Es ist auch möglich, dass der Selbsteinzug einen Teil der Federenergie der Ausstoßvorrichtung spannt, so dass die Ausstoßvorrichtung erst im Wirkbereich des Selbsteinzugs verrastet.The tensioning process for the energy store of the ejector device takes place during a closing movement of the movable furniture part, preferably at a distance from the self-closing position, for example at least 25 mm from the self-closing position in a range between 100 mm to 40 mm before the closed position. It is also possible for the self-closing mechanism to tension part of the spring energy of the ejection device, so that the ejection device only engages in the effective area of the self-closing mechanism.

Um einen Spannbereich der Ausstoßvorrichtung beabstandet von einem Auswurfbereich der Ausstoßvorrichtung anzuordnen, kann an dem Steuerelement ein erster Stift vorgesehen sein, der in einer Führungsbahn an einem Gehäuse geführt ist, und ein zweiter Stift, der an dem Mitnehmer eingreift, der mit dem Aktivator in Eingriff bringbar ist. Dadurch kann der Mitnehmer relativ zu dem Steuerelement verfahren werden, wobei das Steuerelement bei einer Auswurfbewegung in einer anderen Position relativ zu dem Mitnehmer angeordnet ist, als bei einer Schließbewegung.In order to arrange a clamping area of the ejection device at a distance from an ejection area of the ejection device, a first pin can be provided on the control element, which is guided in a guideway on a housing, and a second pin which engages on the driver which engages with the activator can be brought. As a result, the driver can be moved relative to the control element, the control element during an ejection movement is arranged in a different position relative to the driver than during a closing movement.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist es auch möglich, den Selbsteinzug und die Ausstoßvorrichtung in einer Vorrichtung zusammenzufassen, so dass eine gemeinsame Einheit entsteht.In a further embodiment, it is also possible to combine the self-feeding device and the ejection device in one device, so that a common unit is created.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird ein bewegbares Möbelteil nach dem Entriegeln einer Ausstoßvorrichtung ausgeworfen. Anschließend wird das bewegbare Möbelteil in Schließrichtung bewegt, um einen Kraftspeicher zu spannen, wobei ein mit dem Mitnehmer gekoppeltes Steuerelement entlang einer Führungsbahn verfahren wird. Das Steuerelement wird an einer Rastaufnahme an der Führungsbahn und/oder einem Sperrelement abgelegt, wobei das Sperrelement dann in eine Freigabestellung bewegt wird, um das Steuerelement weiter entlang der Rastaufnahme oder des Sperrelementes in eine Betätigungsposition zu bewegen, in der das Steuerelement die Ausstoßvorrichtung entriegeln kann. Die Bewegung des Sperrelementes ist erfindungsgemäß durch einen Dämpfer gebremst oder ein mechanisches Zeitglied gesteuert, um die Zeitdauer, ab wann das bewegbare Möbelteil wieder für die Entriegelung freigegeben ist, einstellen zu können.In the method according to the invention, a movable furniture part is ejected after an ejector device has been unlocked. The movable furniture part is then moved in the closing direction in order to tension an energy storage device, a control element coupled to the driver being moved along a guide path. The control element is deposited on a latching receptacle on the guide track and / or a locking element, the locking element then being moved into a release position in order to move the control element further along the latching receptacle or the locking element into an actuating position in which the control element can unlock the ejector device . According to the invention, the movement of the locking element is braked by a damper or controlled by a mechanical timing element in order to be able to set the time from when the movable furniture part is released again for unlocking.

Ein Möbel 1 umfasst einen in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellten Korpus 2, an dem ein oder mehrere Schubkästen als bewegbare Möbelteile 3 verfahrbar gelagert werden können. Jeder Schubkasten ist an gegenüberliegenden Seiten über eine Auszugsführung 5 geführt, wobei die Auszugsführung 5 über einen Haltewinkel 9 an einer Seitenwand des Korpus 2 fixiert ist und der Schubkasten 3 an einer verfahrbaren Laufschiene der Auszugsführung 5 fixiert ist. In einer Schließposition befindet sich eine Frontblende 4 des Schubkastens in geringem Abstand von dem Korpus 2, beispielsweise zwischen 1 mm und 6 mm, um aus dieser Schließposition geringfügig weiter in den Korpus 2 in eine Überdrückstellung eingedrückt zu werden, um eine Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 zu entriegeln.A piece of furniture 1 comprises an in Figure 1 schematically illustrated body 2 on which one or more drawers can be movably mounted as movable furniture parts 3. Each drawer is guided on opposite sides over a pull-out guide 5, the pull-out guide 5 being fixed to a side wall of the body 2 via a bracket 9 and the drawer 3 being fixed to a movable running rail of the pull-out guide 5. In a closed position, a front panel 4 of the drawer is a short distance from the body 2, for example between 1 mm and 6 mm, in order to be pushed slightly further into the body 2 from this closed position into an overpressing position in order to unlock an ejector 6.

Wie in Figur 2 gezeigt ist, befinden sich an einem Boden des Schubkastens an der Unterseite zwei Ausstoßvorrichtungen 6, die zumindest in einem Schließbereich mit einem Aktivator 7 koppelbar sind, der feststehend mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem Korpus 2 verbunden ist. Jede Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 kann sich somit an dem Aktivator 7 abstützen, um den Schubkasten als das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 auszuwerfen. Die Auszugführungen 5 sind dabei jeweils in einer Seitenzarge 8 des Schubkastens angeordnet. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 stationär an dem Korpus 2 anzuordnen und den Aktivator 7 an dem Schubkasten. Zudem kann die Anzahl und Anordnung der Ausstoßvorrichtungen 6 und Aktivatoren 7 an dem bewegbaren Möbelteil 3 oder am Korpus 2 variiert werden. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 an der Korpusschiene oder dem Korpusschienenhalter einer Auszugsführung angeordnet ist und der Aktivator an der Schubkastenschiene angeordnet ist. Hier sind unterschiedlichste Anordnungskombinationen von Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 und Aktivator 7 im Stand der Technik bekannt, wobei der Aktivator 7 auch direkt von einem beweglichen Möbelteil oder einem unbeweglichem Teil gebildet werden kann, so dass die Funktion des Aktivators kein separates Bauteil bedingt.As in Figure 2 is shown, there are two ejector devices 6 on the bottom of the drawer, which can be coupled at least in a closing area to an activator 7, which is fixedly connected directly or indirectly to the body 2. Each ejection device 6 can thus be supported on the activator 7 in order to eject the drawer as the movable furniture part 3. The pull-out guides 5 are each arranged in a side frame 8 of the drawer. It is of course also possible to arrange the ejector 6 stationary on the body 2 and the activator 7 on the drawer. In addition, the number and arrangement of the ejection devices 6 and activators 7 on the movable furniture part 3 or on the Body 2 can be varied. It is also possible that the ejector device 6 is arranged on the carcass rail or the carcass rail holder of a pull-out slide and the activator is arranged on the drawer rail. A wide variety of arrangement combinations of ejector 6 and activator 7 are known in the prior art, whereby the activator 7 can also be formed directly from a movable furniture part or an immovable part, so that the function of the activator does not require a separate component.

Jede Auszugsführung 5 kann mit einem Selbsteinzug gekoppelt sein, der eine verfahrbare Laufschiene der Auszugsführung 5 in einem Einzugsbereich in Schließrichtung zieht und optional durch einen Dämpfer abbremst. Eine Auszugsführung 5 mit einem Selbsteinzug ist beispielsweise in den Dokumenten DE 10 2011 053 840 A1 oder DE 10 2011 054 441 A1 offenbart, auf die Bezug genommen wird.Each pull-out guide 5 can be coupled to a self-closing mechanism that pulls a movable running rail of the pull-out guide 5 in a draw-in area in the closing direction and optionally brakes it with a damper. A pull-out guide 5 with a self-closing mechanism is for example in the documents DE 10 2011 053 840 A1 or DE 10 2011 054 441 A1 disclosed, to which reference is made.

In Figur 3 ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 gezeigt, die in einem Gehäuse 10 angeordnet ist. An einer Längskante des Gehäuses 10 ist eine Führung 11 in Form eines Steges vorgesehen, an dem ein Mitnehmer 12 verfahrbar gelagert ist. An dem Gehäuse 10 ist ein Deckel 14 angeordnet Der Mitnehmer 12 ist mit einem Koppelelement 13 verbunden, das eine Anlagefläche für den Aktivator 7 ausbildet. Da das Koppelelement 13 einen Magneten 24 aufweist, können zwischen dem Mitnehmer 12 und dem Aktivator 7 sowohl Zug- als auch Druckkräfte übertragen werden. Zur Positionierung des bewegbaren Möbelteils 3 in Tiefenrichtung ist ein Verstellmechanismus 15 vorgesehen, mittels dem die Position des Koppelelementes 13 relativ zu dem Mitnehmer 12 einstellbar ist. Das Koppelelement 13 kann alternativ auch als in einer Führung gesteuerter Greifer oder einer anderen mechanisch lösbaren Kopplung ausgeführt sein.In Figure 3 the ejection device 6 is shown, which is arranged in a housing 10. A guide 11 in the form of a web is provided on a longitudinal edge of the housing 10, on which a driver 12 is movably mounted. A cover 14 is arranged on the housing 10. The driver 12 is connected to a coupling element 13 which forms a contact surface for the activator 7. Since the coupling element 13 has a magnet 24, both tensile and compressive forces can be transmitted between the driver 12 and the activator 7. To position the movable furniture part 3 in the depth direction, an adjustment mechanism 15 is provided, by means of which the position of the coupling element 13 relative to the driver 12 can be adjusted. The coupling element 13 can alternatively also be designed as a gripper controlled in a guide or another mechanically releasable coupling.

Wie in den Figuren 4A und 4B gezeigt ist, befindet sich innerhalb des Gehäuses 10 ein Schlitten 30, der in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses 10 in einer Aufnahme 20 verschiebbar gelagert ist. An der Aufnahme 20 des Gehäuses 10 befindet sich an einer Stirnseite eine Halterung 21, um ein Ende eines Kraftspeichers in Form mindestens einer Feder 22, insbesondere einer Zugfeder, festzulegen. Dabei sind zwei Federn 22 vorgesehen, die jeweils in einer Federaufnahme 31 an dem Schlitten 30 angeordnet sind. Ein gegenüberliegendes Ende der Feder 22 ist an einer Federhalterung 32 an dem Schlitten 30 fixiert, so dass der Schlitten 30 in Öffnungsrichtung an dem Gehäuse 10 vorgespannt ist. Die Anzahl der Federn 22 kann dabei abhängig vom Einsatzzweck der Antriebsvorrichtung gewählt werden.As in the Figures 4A and 4B is shown, is located within the housing 10, a slide 30 which is slidably mounted in a receptacle 20 in the longitudinal direction of the housing 10. On the receptacle 20 of the housing 10 there is a holder 21 on one end face in order to fix one end of an energy store in the form of at least one spring 22, in particular a tension spring. Two springs 22 are provided, each of which is arranged in a spring receptacle 31 on the slide 30. An opposite end of the spring 22 is fixed to a spring holder 32 on the slide 30, so that the slide 30 is pretensioned on the housing 10 in the opening direction. The The number of springs 22 can be selected depending on the intended use of the drive device.

An dem Schlitten 30 ist ferner eine Aufnahme 33 zur Führung eines Steuerelementes 40 vorgesehen. An der Aufnahme 33 sind Seitenwände 38 angeordnet, die eine Führung des Steuerelementes 40 im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Öffnungsrichtung bewirken. Das Steuerelement 40 ist plattenförmig ausgebildet und weist hervorstehende Gleitelemente 44 auf, die an den Seitenwänden 38 der Aufnahme 33 anliegen.A receptacle 33 for guiding a control element 40 is also provided on the slide 30. Side walls 38, which guide the control element 40 essentially perpendicular to the opening direction, are arranged on the receptacle 33. The control element 40 is designed in the form of a plate and has protruding sliding elements 44 which rest on the side walls 38 of the receptacle 33.

Das Steuerelement 40 umfasst einen ersten Stift 41, der in einer Führungsbahn 17 an dem Gehäuse 10 geführt ist. An dem Steuerelement 40 ist ferner ein zweiter Stift 42 vorgesehen, der an dem Mitnehmer 12 geführt ist. Hierfür ist an dem Mitnehmer 12 eine nutförmige Bahn 16 zur Führung des Stiftes 42 ausgebildet.The control element 40 comprises a first pin 41 which is guided in a guide track 17 on the housing 10. A second pin 42, which is guided on the driver 12, is also provided on the control element 40. For this purpose, a groove-shaped track 16 for guiding the pin 42 is formed on the driver 12.

An dem Schlitten 30 ist ferner eine Kurvenführung 34 vorgesehen, mittels der ein Zahnrad 36 geführt ist. Das Zahnrad 36 greift mit einem Rastvorsprung 35 in die Kurvenführung 34 ein und ist Bestandteil einer Rücklaufsperre. An dem Gehäuse 10 ist eine Zahnstange 19 ausgebildet. Das Zahnrad 36 ist mit einem Stift in einer schlaufenförmigen Führungsbahn 18 des Gehäuses 10 geführt, wobei ein Abschnitt der Führungsbahn 18 in Spannrichtung an der Zahnstange 19 vorbei läuft, während ein Abschnitt für eine Öffnungsbewegung das Zahnrad 36 beabstandet von der Zahnstange 19 führt. Wird ein Spannvorgang der Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 abgebrochen, greift das Zahnrad 36 in die Zahnstange 19 ein und verhindert somit ein Auswerfen des bewegbaren Möbelteils. Eins solche Rücklaufsperre ist beispielsweise in der DE 10 2016 107 918 beschrieben. Für die vorliegende Ausstoßvorrichtung ist eine solche Rücklaufsperre vorteilhaft, kann allerdings optional auch weggelassen werden.A cam guide 34, by means of which a gearwheel 36 is guided, is also provided on the slide 30. The gear 36 engages with a locking projection 35 in the cam guide 34 and is part of a backstop. A toothed rack 19 is formed on the housing 10. The gear 36 is guided with a pin in a loop-shaped guide track 18 of the housing 10, a section of the guide track 18 running in the tensioning direction past the rack 19, while a section for an opening movement guides the gear 36 at a distance from the rack 19. If a tensioning process of the ejector device 6 is interrupted, the toothed wheel 36 engages in the toothed rack 19 and thus prevents the movable furniture part from being ejected. Such a backstop is for example in the DE 10 2016 107 918 described. Such a backstop is advantageous for the present ejection device, but can optionally also be omitted.

An dem Gehäuse 10 ist ferner ein Schieber 50 vorgesehen, der in einer Schieberaufnahme 26 an dem Gehäuse 10 verschiebbar gehalten ist. Hierfür greift ein kastenförmiger Abschnitt 55 in die Schieberaufnahme 26 ein, während ein Steg 56 an einem Endabschnitt 27 des Gehäuses 10 aufgenommen ist. Der Schieber 50 ist über eine Feder 68 in eine Ausgangsposition vorgespannt. Die Feder 68 ist dabei in einer Federaufnahme 69 an dem Schieber 50 abgelegt (Figur 4B), wobei die Feder 68 an einer Stirnseite an dem Schieber 50 anliegt und an der gegenüberliegenden Seite an einer Wand des Gehäuses 10. Die Feder 68 ist als Druckfeder ausgebildet und spannt den Schieber 50 somit in Öffnungsrichtung vor.A slide 50 is also provided on the housing 10 and is held displaceably in a slide receptacle 26 on the housing 10. For this purpose, a box-shaped section 55 engages in the slide receptacle 26, while a web 56 is received on an end section 27 of the housing 10. The slide 50 is biased into an initial position via a spring 68. The spring 68 is stored in a spring receptacle 69 on the slide 50 ( Figure 4B ), wherein the spring 68 rests on one end face of the slide 50 and on the opposite side against a wall of the housing 10. The Spring 68 is designed as a compression spring and thus biases slide 50 in the opening direction.

An dem Gehäuse 10 ist eine Führungsbahn 17 für den ersten Stift 41 des Steuerelementes 40 ausgebildet. Die Führungsbahn 17 ist dabei schlaufenförmig ausgebildet.A guide track 17 for the first pin 41 of the control element 40 is formed on the housing 10. The guide track 17 is designed in the shape of a loop.

Ferner ist in den Figuren 4A und 4B ein Sperrelement 64 gezeigt, das an der Führungsbahn 17 benachbart zu der Rastaufnahme verschwenkbar an dem Gehäuse 10 gelagert ist. Das Sperrelement 64 ist mit einem Dämpfer 60 gekoppelt, der einen Zylinder 61 und eine Kolbenstange 62 aufweist, die in den Zylinder 61 einschiebbar ist, um Dämpfungskräfte zu erzeugen. Der Dämpfer 60 ist dabei in einer Ausgangsposition mit herausgezogener Kolbenstange 62 vorgespannt, wobei hierfür eine Feder 63 um die Kolbenstange 62 gewickelt ist, die auf einer Seite an dem Zylinder 61 und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite an dem Sperrelement 64 abgestützt ist. Die Feder kann alternativ in dem Zylinder 61 integriert sein oder als separates Federelement auf das Sperrelement 64 wirken.Furthermore, in the Figures 4A and 4B a locking element 64 is shown, which is pivotably mounted on the guide track 17 adjacent to the latching receptacle on the housing 10. The blocking element 64 is coupled to a damper 60 which has a cylinder 61 and a piston rod 62 which can be pushed into the cylinder 61 in order to generate damping forces. The damper 60 is prestressed in an initial position with the piston rod 62 pulled out, a spring 63 being wound around the piston rod 62 for this purpose, which is supported on one side on the cylinder 61 and on the opposite side on the locking element 64. The spring can alternatively be integrated in the cylinder 61 or act as a separate spring element on the locking element 64.

An dem Gehäuse 10 ist ferner ein Rastvorsprung 25 im Bereich der Führungsbahn 17 ausgebildet, der mit der Rastnase 54 an dem Schieber 50 zusammenwirkt, um den Schieber 50 in einer Entriegelungs- oder Freigabeposition für das Steuerelement 40 verrasten zu können.A latching projection 25 is also formed on the housing 10 in the area of the guide track 17, which interacts with the latching lug 54 on the slide 50 in order to be able to latch the slide 50 in an unlocked or released position for the control element 40.

Die Funktionsweise der Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 wird nachfolgend mit Bezug auf die Figuren 5 bis 11 näher erläutert, wobei diese Figuren jeweils zwei Schnittansichten durch die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 zeigen, die teilweise in unterschiedlichen Ebenen angeordnet sind, um die Position der Stifte 41 und 42 im Bereich des Mitnehmers 12 und der Führungsbahn 17 besser verfolgen zu können.The functioning of the ejection device 6 will be described below with reference to FIG Figures 5 to 11 explained in more detail, these figures each showing two sectional views through the ejection device 6, some of which are arranged in different planes in order to better follow the position of the pins 41 and 42 in the area of the driver 12 and the guide track 17.

In den Figuren 5A und 5B befindet sich die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 in einer Schließposition. In der Schließposition befindet sich der Stift 41 des Steuerelementes 40 in der Rastaufnahme, die durch das Sperrelement 64 und die Aufnahme 52 an dem Druckstück 51 des Schlittens 50 gebildet ist. Die zweiteilige Rastaufnahme befindet sich in der geschlossenen Position, und die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 ist über den Stift 41 und die Rastaufnahme gegen die Kraft der Federn 22 verrastet. Der zweite Stift 42 des Steuerelementes befindet sich an einem abgewinkelten Ende der Bahn 16 an dem Mitnehmer 12.In the Figures 5A and 5B the ejector 6 is in a closed position. In the closed position, the pin 41 of the control element 40 is located in the latching receptacle, which is formed by the locking element 64 and the receptacle 52 on the pressure piece 51 of the slide 50. The two-part latching receptacle is in the closed position, and the ejection device 6 is latched against the force of the springs 22 via the pin 41 and the latching receptacle. The second pin 42 of the control element is located at an angled end of the track 16 on the driver 12.

Soll die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 entriegelt werden, wird das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 bzw. der Schubkasten aus der Schließposition in eine Überdrückstellung bewegt, wie dies in den Figuren 6A und 6B gezeigt ist. Das Steuerelement 40 wird dabei gegen die Kraft der Federn 22, die an dem Schlitten 30 gehalten sind, eingedrückt, wobei das bewegbare Möbelteil über den Mitnehmer 12 und den Stift 42 auf das Steuerelement 40 wirkt. Durch das Eindrücken des bewegbaren Möbelteils drückt der erste Stift 41 gegen das Druckstück 51 des Schiebers 50, der gegen die Kraft der Feder 68 relativ zu dem Gehäuse 10 bewegt wird. Durch die Bewegung des Schiebers 50 verschiebt sich ein Teil der Rastaufnahme relativ zu dem Sperrelement 64.If the ejection device 6 is to be unlocked, the movable furniture part 3 or the drawer is moved from the closed position into an overpressed position, as shown in FIG Figures 6A and 6B is shown. The control element 40 is pressed in against the force of the springs 22, which are held on the slide 30, the movable furniture part acting on the control element 40 via the driver 12 and the pin 42. By pressing in the movable furniture part, the first pin 41 presses against the pressure piece 51 of the slide 50, which is moved relative to the housing 10 against the force of the spring 68. As a result of the movement of the slide 50, part of the latching receptacle is displaced relative to the locking element 64.

Für eine Öffnungsbewegung kann der Stift 41 nun durch den Spalt zwischen dem Sperrelement 64 und dem Druckstück 51 gelangen, wie dies in den Figuren 7A und 7B gezeigt ist. Der Mitnehmer 12 ist über den zweiten Stift 42 mit dem Steuerelement 40 in Auszugsrichtung gekoppelt, so dass das bewegbare Möbelteil durch den Mitnehmer 12 ausgeworfen wird. Der Schieber 50 wird durch die Feder 68 wieder in Öffnungsrichtung gedrückt, bis die Rastnase 54 an dem Rastvorsprung 25 des Gehäuses 10 anliegt. Durch die Verrastung des Schiebers 50 bleibt das Druckstück 51 und damit die Rastaufnahme in einer Freigabestellung. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Teilen der Rastaufnahme ist so groß, dass der Stift 41 dazwischen passieren kann.For an opening movement, the pin 41 can now pass through the gap between the locking element 64 and the pressure piece 51, as shown in FIG Figures 7A and 7B is shown. The driver 12 is coupled to the control element 40 in the pull-out direction via the second pin 42, so that the movable furniture part is ejected by the driver 12. The slide 50 is pressed again in the opening direction by the spring 68 until the latching lug 54 rests against the latching projection 25 of the housing 10. By locking the slide 50, the pressure piece 51 and thus the locking receptacle remain in a release position. The distance between the two parts of the locking receptacle is so great that the pin 41 can pass between them.

Aufgrund der Federn 22 wird der Schlitten 30 mit dem Steuerelement 40, und dadurch auch der Mitnehmer 12 mit dem bewegbaren Möbelteil, weiter in Öffnungsrichtung bewegt, bis die in Figur 8A und 8B gezeigte Position erreicht ist. Der erste Stift 41 an dem Steuerelement 40 läuft gegen eine Anlaufschräge 57 an dem Steg 53 an und löst somit die Rastnase 54 von dem Rastvorsprung 25. Dadurch kann der Schieber 50 durch die Kraft der Feder 68 weiter in Öffnungsrichtung bewegt werden, um die Rastaufnahme zu verschließen.Due to the springs 22, the carriage 30 with the control element 40, and thereby also the driver 12 with the movable furniture part, is moved further in the opening direction until the in Figures 8A and 8B position shown is reached. The first pin 41 on the control element 40 runs against a run-on bevel 57 on the web 53 and thus releases the latch 54 from the latch projection 25. This allows the slide 50 to be moved further in the opening direction by the force of the spring 68 to close the latch close.

Das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 wird nun weiter in Öffnungsrichtung bewegt, bis der erste Stift 41 an einer Anlaufschräge 45 der Führungsbahn 17 auftrifft, um das Steuerelement 40 an dem Schlitten 30 zu verfahren. Dadurch bewegt sich der zweite Stift 42 aus dem abgewinkelten Endabschnitt der Bahn 16 heraus und kann somit entlang dem Mittelabschnitt der Bahn 16 verfahren werden, der geringfügig geneigt zu der Schließ- und Öffnungsrichtung ausgerichtet ist, um den Mitnehmer 12 weiter entlang der Führung 11 an dem Gehäuse zu bewegen. Der zweite Stift 42 wird an den abgewinkelten Endabschnitt der Bahn 16 verfahren, und der erste Stift 41 befindet sich an einem spitzen Ende der Führungsbahn 17.The movable furniture part 3 is now moved further in the opening direction until the first pin 41 strikes a bevel 45 of the guide track 17 in order to move the control element 40 on the slide 30. As a result, the second pin 42 moves out of the angled end section of the track 16 and can thus be moved along the middle section of the track 16, which is aligned slightly inclined to the closing and opening direction, in order to keep the driver 12 along the guide 11 on the Moving housing. The second pin 42 is moved to the angled end section of the track 16, and the first pin 41 is located at a pointed end of the guide track 17.

Um das bewegbare Möbelteil wieder in eine Schließposition zu bringen, wird der Aktivator 7 gegen den Mitnehmer 12 bewegt, der über den zweiten Stift 42 mit dem Steuerelement 40 gekoppelt ist. Das Steuerelement 40 bewegt sich somit zusammen mit dem Schlitten 30 in Schließrichtung und spannt dabei die Federn 22. Beim Spannen der Feder 22 wird auch die Rücklaufsperre mit dem Zahnrad 36 aktiviert, das entlang der Zahnstange 19 an dem Gehäuse verfahren wird. Sollte der Spannvorgang abgebrochen werden, sichert das Zahnrad 36 der Rücklaufsperre die bislang gespannte Position des Schlittens 30.In order to bring the movable furniture part back into a closed position, the activator 7 is moved against the driver 12, which is coupled to the control element 40 via the second pin 42. The control element 40 thus moves together with the slide 30 in the closing direction and thereby tensions the springs 22. When the spring 22 is tensioned, the backstop is also activated with the gearwheel 36, which is moved along the rack 19 on the housing. If the tensioning process is interrupted, the gearwheel 36 of the backstop secures the previously tensioned position of the slide 30.

Wird das bewegbare Möbelteil in Schließrichtung bewegt, verfährt das Steuerelement 40 in Figur 9 auf der linken Seite der Führungsbahn 17, bis zu einem abgewinkelten Ende, an dem das Sperrelement 64 angeordnet ist. Durch Bewegen des Stiftes 41 nach rechts auf das Sperrelement 64 bewegt sich der zweite Stift 42 aus dem abgewinkelten Endabschnitt der Bahn 16 an dem Mitnehmer 12. Dadurch wird der Mitnehmer 12 von dem Steuerelement 40 entkoppelt und kann nun durch einen Selbsteinzug weiter in Schließrichtung bewegt werden. Die Bahn 16 besitzt dabei eine Neigung zur Öffnungs- und Schließrichtung, so dass die Stifte 41 und 42 bei einer Schließbewegung des Mitnehmers 12 langsam nach rechts verschoben werden, bis der Stift 42 an dem abgewinkelten Endabschnitt der Bahn 16 ankommt. Durch die Bewegung des Stiftes 42 nach rechts wird auch der Stift 41 nach rechts bewegt, so dass der Stift 41 zwischen dem Sperrelement 64 und der Aufnahme 52 an dem Druckstück 52 positioniert wird, wie dies in den Figuren 5A und 5B gezeigt ist. Mit Erreichen der Schließposition ist somit einerseits der Mitnehmer 12 an der Endposition angelangt und im Wesentlichen zeitgleich auch der Stift 41 in einer Betätigungsposition, in der bei einem erneuten Eindrücken des bewegbaren Möbelteils 3 die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 entriegelt werden kann.If the movable furniture part is moved in the closing direction, the control element 40 moves in Figure 9 on the left side of the guide track 17, up to an angled end on which the locking element 64 is arranged. By moving the pin 41 to the right onto the locking element 64, the second pin 42 moves out of the angled end section of the track 16 on the driver 12. As a result, the driver 12 is decoupled from the control element 40 and can now be moved further in the closing direction by self-retraction . The track 16 has an inclination to the opening and closing direction so that the pins 41 and 42 are slowly shifted to the right when the driver 12 closes, until the pin 42 arrives at the angled end section of the track 16. By moving the pin 42 to the right, the pin 41 is also moved to the right, so that the pin 41 is positioned between the locking element 64 and the receptacle 52 on the pressure piece 52, as shown in FIG Figures 5A and 5B is shown. When the closed position is reached, the driver 12 has reached the end position and essentially simultaneously the pin 41 is in an actuating position in which the ejector 6 can be unlocked when the movable furniture part 3 is pushed in again.

In Figur 10 ist eine Position gezeigt, in der das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 manuell bei der Schließbewegung über die Schließposition in die Überdrückstellung bewegt wurde oder das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 mit hoher Schließgeschwindigkeit bewegt wurde und somit ebenfalls in der Überdrückstellung angelangt ist. Der Stift 41 an dem Steuerelement 40 befindet sich daher beabstandet von dem Sperrelement 64 innerhalb eines Endabschnittes an der Führungsbahn 17. Wird nun das bewegbare Möbelteil 3 losgelassen, drückt der Kraftspeicher mit den Federn 22 den Schlitten 30 und damit auch das Steuerelement 40 in Öffnungsrichtung, bis der Stift 41 auf das Sperrelement 64 auftrifft. Das Sperrelement 64 wird nun gegen die Kraft des Dämpfers 60 verschwenkt, so dass der Stift 41 in die stufenförmige Aufnahme 52 an dem Druckstück 51 gelangt, also in die Betätigungsposition, in der ein Entriegeln der Ausstoßvorrichtung ermöglicht ist. Gleichzeitig gelangt der Stift 42 an den abgewinkelten Endabschnitt der Bahn 16 und verriegelt somit das Steuerelement 40 mit dem Mitnehmer 12. Mit Erreichen der Schließposition ist somit umgehend ein erneutes Entriegeln der Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 möglich.In Figure 10 a position is shown in which the movable furniture part 3 was moved manually during the closing movement via the closed position into the overpressing position or the movable furniture part 3 was moved at high closing speed and has thus also reached the overpressing position. The pin 41 on the control element 40 is therefore located at a distance from the locking element 64 within an end section on the guide track 17. If the movable furniture part 3 is now released, the energy storage device with the springs 22 presses the slide 30 and thus also the control element 40 in Opening direction until the pin 41 hits the locking element 64. The locking element 64 is now pivoted against the force of the damper 60, so that the pin 41 enters the stepped receptacle 52 on the pressure piece 51, that is to say in the actuating position in which the ejector device can be unlocked. At the same time, the pin 42 reaches the angled end section of the track 16 and thus locks the control element 40 with the driver 12. When the closed position is reached, the ejector 6 can be unlocked again immediately.

In den Figuren 12 bis 19 ist ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel einer Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 dargestellt, wobei die gleichen Bauteile mit einem gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind. Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich im Wesentlichen durch ein modifiziertes Sperrelement 80 und dessen Kopplung mit einem Dämpfer 88, so dass im Wesentlichen nur die Unterschiede zu dem vorangegangenen Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben werden.In the Figures 12 to 19 a second embodiment of an ejector 6 is shown, the same components being provided with the same reference numerals. The second exemplary embodiment differs essentially in a modified blocking element 80 and its coupling to a damper 88, so that essentially only the differences from the previous exemplary embodiment are described.

Ein Sperrelement 80 umfasst einen Steg 81, an dem ein Vorsprung 82 für den Eingriff mit einem Steuerhebel 86 ausgebildet ist. An dem Sperrelement 80 befindet sich ferner eine Verzahnung 83 für den Eingriff mit einem Zahnrad 89, das drehfest mit einem Dämpfer 88 in Form eines Rotationsdämpfers gekoppelt ist. Das Sperrelement 80 ist dabei über einen Halter 84 und eine Feder 85 in Schließrichtung vorgespannt.A locking element 80 comprises a web 81 on which a projection 82 for engagement with a control lever 86 is formed. On the locking element 80 there is also a toothing 83 for engagement with a gear 89 which is non-rotatably coupled to a damper 88 in the form of a rotary damper. The locking element 80 is pretensioned in the closing direction via a holder 84 and a spring 85.

In der in den Figuren 13A und 13B gezeigten Schließposition befindet sich der Stift 41 an einer Rastaufnahme, die einen feststehenden Teil 23 aufweist, der fest an dem Gehäuse 10 angeordnet ist, vorzugsweise integral mit dem Gehäuse 10 ausgebildet ist. Ein zweiter Teil der Rastaufnahme ist an einem Schieber 50 ausgebildet, der eine Aufnahme 52 an einem Druckstück 51 aufweist. Der Stift 41 an dem Steuerelement 40 ist über den Schlitten 30 und den Kraftspeicher in Öffnungsrichtung vorgespannt.In the in the Figures 13A and 13B In the closed position shown, the pin 41 is located on a latching receptacle which has a fixed part 23 which is fixedly arranged on the housing 10, preferably formed integrally with the housing 10. A second part of the latching receptacle is formed on a slide 50 which has a receptacle 52 on a pressure piece 51. The pin 41 on the control element 40 is pretensioned in the opening direction via the slide 30 and the energy store.

Soll die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 entriegelt werden, wird das bewegbare Möbelteil mit dem Mitnehmer 12 und dem Steuerelement 40 in eine Überdrückstellung bewegt, wobei der Stift 41 den Schieber 50 in Schließrichtung bewegt, wie dies in Figur 14 gezeigt ist. Dadurch wird ein Spalt zwischen dem ersten Teil 23 der Rastaufnahme und dem Druckstück 51 hergestellt, der ausreicht, dass der Stift 41 entlang der Führungsbahn 17 in Öffnungsrichtung bewegt werden kann.If the ejection device 6 is to be unlocked, the movable furniture part with the driver 12 and the control element 40 is moved into an overpressing position, the pin 41 moving the slide 50 in the closing direction, as shown in FIG Figure 14 is shown. This creates a gap between the first part 23 of the latching receptacle and the pressure piece 51, which gap is sufficient for the pin 41 to be able to be moved along the guide track 17 in the opening direction.

In Figur 15 wird das Druckstück 51 an dem Schieber 50 in einer Rastposition dargestellt, wobei der Mitnehmer 12 mit dem Steuerelement 40 in Öffnungsrichtung bewegt wird.In Figure 15 the pressure piece 51 on the slide 50 is shown in a latching position, the driver 12 being moved with the control element 40 in the opening direction.

In Figur 16 wird der Schieber 50 aus einer Freigabeposition entriegelt, indem der Stift 41 entlang der Anlaufschräge 57 an dem Steg 53 verfährt. Dadurch wird der Schieber 50 durch die Kraft der Feder 68 in Schließrichtung bewegt, so dass das Druckstück 51 zusammen mit dem ersten Teil 23 der Rastaufnahme wieder geschlossen wird.In Figure 16 the slide 50 is unlocked from a release position in that the pin 41 moves along the run-on bevel 57 on the web 53. As a result, the slide 50 is moved in the closing direction by the force of the spring 68, so that the pressure piece 51 is closed again together with the first part 23 of the latching receptacle.

In Figur 17A und 17B wird das bewegbare Möbelteil mit dem Mitnehmer 12 wieder in Schließrichtung bewegt, bis der Kraftspeicher mit den Federn 22 gespannt ist und der Stift 41 an dem abgewinkelten Teil der Führungsbahn 17 nach rechts bewegt wird, wodurch der zweite Stift 42 aus dem abgewinkelten Endabschnitt der Bahn 16 herausgezogen wird, um eine Kopplung zwischen dem Steuerelement 40 und dem Mitnehmer 12 zu entriegeln.In Figures 17A and 17B the movable furniture part with the driver 12 is moved again in the closing direction until the energy storage device is tensioned with the springs 22 and the pin 41 on the angled part of the guide track 17 is moved to the right, whereby the second pin 42 out of the angled end section of the track 16 is pulled out in order to unlock a coupling between the control element 40 and the driver 12.

An der Rastaufnahme 23 ist das Sperrelement 80 mit dem Steg 81 angeordnet, der verhindert, dass der Stift 41 in die Aufnahme 52 an dem Druckstück 51 gelangt. Das Sperrelement 80 ist im Wesentlichen linear bewegbar, wobei die Bewegung des Sperrelementes 80 über einen Steuerhebel 86 gesteuert werden kann, der um eine Achse 87 verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Der Steuerhebel 86 wirkt mit einer Kurvenführung 75 an dem Mitnehmer 12 zusammen, die eine Aussparung aufweist. Wird der Mitnehmer 12 in Schließrichtung bewegt, verschwenkt der Steuerhebel 86 vor Erreichen der Schließposition und verfährt somit das Sperrelement 80 mit dem Steg 81 zu dem ersten Teil 23 der Rastaufnahme, so dass der Stift 41 daran gehindert ist, in die Aufnahme 52 auf der anderen Seite des Steges 81 zu gelangen. Der Mitnehmer 12 wird nun weiter in Schließrichtung bewegt, bis die Aufnahme der Kurvenführung 75 im Bereich des Steuerhebels 86 ankommt und den Steuerhebel 86 freigibt, der nun aufgrund der Kraft einer Feder 85 durch das Steuerelement 80 nach oben gezogen wird. Die Feder 85 ist dabei an einem Ende an einem Halter 84 des Sperrelementes 80 und am gegenüberliegenden Ende an dem Gehäuse 10 fixiert. Ferner ist das Steuerelement 80 über eine Verzahnung 83 mit einem Zahnrad 89 des Dämpfers 88 gekoppelt, so dass Bremskräfte erzeugt werden, wenn das Sperrelement 80 in dem Gehäuse 10 verfahren wird. Die Feder 85 kann auch an einer beliebigen anderen Position angebracht sein, um die Funktion zu erfüllen.The locking element 80 with the web 81, which prevents the pin 41 from reaching the receptacle 52 on the pressure piece 51, is arranged on the latching receptacle 23. The locking element 80 can be moved essentially linearly, wherein the movement of the locking element 80 can be controlled via a control lever 86 which is mounted pivotably about an axis 87. The control lever 86 interacts with a cam guide 75 on the driver 12, which has a recess. If the driver 12 is moved in the closing direction, the control lever 86 pivots before reaching the closed position and thus moves the locking element 80 with the web 81 to the first part 23 of the locking receptacle, so that the pin 41 is prevented from entering the receptacle 52 on the other Side of the web 81 to arrive. The driver 12 is now moved further in the closing direction until the receptacle of the cam guide 75 arrives in the area of the control lever 86 and releases the control lever 86, which is now pulled up by the control element 80 due to the force of a spring 85. The spring 85 is fixed at one end to a holder 84 of the locking element 80 and at the opposite end to the housing 10. Furthermore, the control element 80 is coupled to a gear wheel 89 of the damper 88 via a toothing 83, so that braking forces are generated when the locking element 80 is moved in the housing 10. The spring 85 can also be attached to any other desired position in order to fulfill the function.

In Figur 18 ist die Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 in einer Überdrückstellung gezeigt, in der sich der Stift 41 in einem Endabschnitt der Führungsbahn 17 befindet. Wird nun das bewegbare Möbelteil losgelassen, zieht der Kraftspeicher den Schlitten 30 und somit auch das Steuerelement 40 in Öffnungsrichtung und der Stift 41 gelangt gegen den schräg angeordneten ersten Teil 23 der Rastaufnahme. Der Mitnehmer 12 wird ebenfalls in Öffnungsrichtung verfahren, so dass der Steuerhebel 86 durch die Aussparung an der Kurvenführung 75 freigegeben wird und das Sperrelement 80 durch die Kraft der Feder 85 von dem ersten Teil 23 der Rastaufnahme weg bewegt werden kann. Dadurch kann der Stift 41 in die Aufnahme 52 an dem Druckstück 51 gelangen und der Stift 42 gelangt in den abgewinkelten Endabschnitt an der Bahn 16 und ist daher mit dem Mitnehmer 12 verriegelt. Dieser Vorgang ist in Figur 19 gezeigt. Anschließend wird die Schließposition erreicht, die in Figur 13 schon dargestellt ist.In Figure 18 the ejection device 6 is shown in an overpressing position in which the pin 41 is located in an end section of the guide track 17. If the movable furniture part is now released, the energy store pulls the slide 30 and thus also the control element 40 in the opening direction and the pin 41 comes against the inclined first part 23 of the latching receptacle. The driver 12 is also moved in the opening direction so that the control lever 86 is released through the recess on the cam guide 75 and the locking element 80 can be moved away from the first part 23 of the latching receptacle by the force of the spring 85. As a result, the pin 41 can get into the receptacle 52 on the pressure piece 51 and the pin 42 gets into the angled end section on the track 16 and is therefore locked with the driver 12. This process is in Figure 19 shown. Then the closed position is reached, which is shown in Figure 13 is already shown.

In Figur 20 ist ein Weg-Zeit-Diagramm der Ausstoßvorrichtung gezeigt, die über einen Selbsteinzug in die Schließposition gebracht wird. Nach dem Spannen des Kraftspeichers erfolgt ein Einziehen des bewegbaren Möbelteils über einen Selbsteinzug, der gedämpft ausgebildet ist, so dass sich die Schließgeschwindigkeit vor Erreichen der Schließposition verlangsamt, wie dies durch die gekrümmte Bahn dargestellt ist. Vor Erreichen der Schließposition beginnt eine Bewegung des Sperrelementes 64 oder 80, damit der Stift 41 des Steuerelementes 40 in eine Betätigungsposition gelangen kann, was dann erfolgt ist, wenn die Schließposition erreicht ist. Der Benutzer kann somit unmittelbar nach Erreichen der Schließposition die Ausstoßvorrichtung erneut entriegeln oder abwarten, und dann das bewegbare Möbelteil in eine Überdrückstellung bewegen, wie dies in Figur 20 gezeigt ist.In Figure 20 a path-time diagram of the ejector is shown, which is brought into the closed position via a self-retraction. After the energy storage mechanism has been tensioned, the movable furniture part is drawn in via a self-closing mechanism, which is designed to be damped, so that the closing speed slows down before the closed position is reached, as shown by the curved path. Before reaching the closed position, a movement of the locking element 64 or 80 begins so that the pin 41 of the control element 40 can move into an actuating position, which takes place when the closed position is reached. The user can thus unlock the ejection device again immediately after reaching the closed position or wait, and then move the movable furniture part into an overpressed position, as shown in FIG Figure 20 is shown.

In Figur 21 ist ein Weg-Zeit-Diagramm gezeigt, bei dem die Schließbewegung nicht über den Selbsteinzug erfolgt, sondern manuell gesteuert in eine Überdrückstellung. Nach dem Spannen des Kraftspeichers und dem Bewegen des Möbelteils über den Einzugsbereich wird das Möbelteil über die Schließposition hinaus in eine Überdrückstellung bewegt und dort gehalten. Da die Schließbewegung kontinuierlich erfolgt, wird der Überdrückschutz wirksam und verhindert ein Entriegeln der Ausstoßvorrichtung. Nach dem Loslassen des bewegbaren Möbelteils bewegt sich dieses in die Schließposition, wobei gleichzeitig auch eine Bewegung des Sperrelementes 64 oder 80 erfolgt, Bei Erreichen der Schließposition ist auch der Stift 41 des Steuerelementes 40 in einer Betätigungsposition angelangt und kann umgehend ein Auslösen der Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 bewirken, falls dies erforderlich ist.In Figure 21 a distance-time diagram is shown in which the closing movement does not take place via the self-closing, but manually controlled in an overpressure position. After tensioning the energy store and moving the furniture part over the intake area, the furniture part is moved beyond the closed position into an overpressure position and held there. Since the closing movement is continuous, the overpressure protection is effective and prevents the ejector from unlocking. After releasing the movable furniture part, it moves into the closed position, with a movement of the locking element 64 or 80 at the same time.When the closed position is reached, the pin 41 of the control element 40 is also in an actuating position and can immediately trigger the ejector 6 if necessary.

Über die Veränderung der Eigenschaften der Dämpfer 60 oder 88 kann die Bewegungsdauer des Sperrelementes eingestellt werden, falls die Bewegung von der Überdrückstellung zu der Schließposition verlangsamt werden soll. Dies kann die Betätigungssicherheit der Ausstoßvorrichtung 6 erhöhen.By changing the properties of the damper 60 or 88, the duration of movement of the locking element can be adjusted if the movement from the overpressure position to the closed position is to be slowed down. This can increase the operational reliability of the ejection device 6.
