Description

Furniture hinge with a locking element for a linear damper

The invention relates to a furniture hinge for hinged attachment of a furniture door, flap or the like on a furniture body, with a hinge body with a hinge cup and a pivotally connected to the hinge cup hinge arm, which is fastened to one of the furniture parts, and with a mounting body which on the other Furniture part is fastened, with a linear damper for damping at least the closing movement of the furniture hinge, with a locking element which is adjustable in at least two switching positions and with which the linear damper is blocked in a locked switching position in its retracted position and released in a damping switching position, wherein in the blocking switching position a pivotable about an axis of rotation of the locking element mounted locking bar in the adjustment range of the linear damper or a connected to the linear damper member and pivoted in the damping switching position from the control range has swung out.

From WO 2013/149632 A1 a damping element for installation in a hinge cup of a furniture hinge is known. A spring-biased damper cylinder can be introduced into the travel of a portion of the furniture hinge and thereby a closing movement of the furniture hinge are damped. The adjustment and thus the damping effect of the damping element can be adjusted by means of a tool-free adjustment element to be operated, for example, in predetermined stages. For this purpose, a blocking portion of the adjusting element is adjusted in its position such that a connected to the damping cylinder and this stop moving abuts during extension of the damping cylinder in a first position of the adjusting element to the blocking and is determined by and not in a second position. Depending on the position of the blocking portion of the Verstel Ibereich and thus the damping effect of the damping element is limited accordingly. The blocking portion and the stop are designed so that the damping cylinder can be inserted in the first position of the adjusting element. When you open the furniture hinge, the stop then abuts the blocking portion of the adjustment and the damping cylinder is not or only partially extended. WO 2013/149632 A1 shows two variants for the adjustment. In a first performance variant is the adjusting element formed as a rotary assembly with an adjustable about a rotation axis control panel and blocking portion. The axis of rotation is oriented perpendicular to the direction of movement of the damper cylinder and thus the stop. The blocking portion is thus screwed onto a circular path along the direction of movement of the damper cylinder in the travel of the stop. The spring force for extending the damper cylinder is thus transmitted from the stop in the direction of actuation of the adjusting element on the blocking portion. It must be provided corresponding detent devices which prevent accidental adjustment of the adjustment due to the applied spring force from its first position in the direction of its second position. In particular, in a cost-effective production of the damping element or the locking devices made of plastic and repeated actuation of the adjustment, the latching devices can wear, so that a secure fixing of the damping cylinder against the acting spring force is no longer possible. A reduction of the damping effect of the furniture hinge is then no longer possible. In a second embodiment variant for the adjusting WO 2013/149632 A1 proposes a linearly adjustable sliding element, wherein a portion of the sliding element can be inserted into the travel of the stop of the damping cylinder transversely to its direction of movement. The directions of movement of the adjusting and the damping cylinder are therefore aligned transversely to each other, whereby accidental adjustment of the sliding element is reliably avoided by acting on the stop spring force. However, such a sliding element tends to get caught in the adjustment. This results in a lower operating comfort compared to a rotary actuator.

WO 2009/124332 A1 shows a damping device for a furniture fitting. A bow-shaped actuator is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis in a hinge cup. The axis of rotation is aligned according to the pivot axis of the furniture hinge. Laterally and oppositely, a rotor and a rotary damper are connected to the actuating element. Both act in the pivoting direction of the actuating element. The actuating element is introduced into the travel of a hinge lever of the furniture hinge and is pivoted by this when folding the furniture hinge about its axis of rotation. The pivoting movement is damped by the rotary damper. By the rotor is a closing movement of the opposing spring force on the Transfer actuator. When opening the furniture hinge, the actuator is thereby adjusted back to its original position in the travel of the articulated lever. The rotor has at its periphery recesses into which a locking element can be inserted by means of a linear slide. As a result, the displacement of the actuating element can be limited. The execution of the damping device with a rotary damper and a rotor is complex and correspondingly expensive.

From EP 2 766 547 B1 a furniture hinge with a linear damper and a return spring is known. The damper and the return spring counteract a closing of the furniture hinge. They are constructed separately and act on a common slide, which is introduced into the travel of a hinge arm. The expansion of the spring can be blocked by a blocking element. This is designed for example as a sliding element. The blocking element can also be designed as a hook, which is pivotable about an axis oriented transversely to the direction of movement of the return spring and engages upon actuation in the turns of the spring.

It is an object of the invention to provide a damped furniture hinge, which allows a reliable connection and disconnection of the damping effect.

The object of the invention is achieved in that the axis of rotation of the locking element is aligned in the direction of movement of the linear damper. The locking bolt of the locking element is thus pivoted transversely to the direction of movement or to the effective direction of the linear damper in the adjustment range of the linear damper or connected to the linear damper member. As a result, aligned in the direction of the extended position of the linear damper opening forces of the linear damper transverse to the direction of the locking bolt. On the locking bolt are thus transmitted from the linear damper acting in the adjustment of the locking element forces. The switching position of the locking element can therefore not be inadvertently adjusted by the linear damper.

A simple and quick adjustment of the switching position of the blocking element can be made possible by the fact that the locking element is to be adjusted without tools. According to a preferred Ausstrahlungsvariante of the invention, it may be provided that the blocking element has a rotatably mounted about the axis of rotation of the locking element rotary body to which the locking bolt and angularly offset attached to a handle, preferably formed, are. The blocking element can thus be aligned with the linear damper, while the handle is aligned for easy access to the blocking element. By the coupling of the locking bolt and the handle to the rotary body actuation of the handle is transmitted directly to the locking bolt. Preferably, it can be provided that the rotary body is mounted on a bearing pin, that the bearing pin is mounted in a blocking element housing and that the locking bolt and the handle are guided through openings from the blocking element housing. This results in a mechanically protected, yet simple construction of the locking element. This can simply be mounted as a unit on a furniture hinge. Particularly preferably, the rotary body, the locking bolt and the handle are made in one piece, for example as a plastic component to be produced inexpensively.

In order to avoid unintentional adjustment of the locking element by a user and to enable an exact adjustment of the switching positions, it can be provided that the rotation of the locking bolt is locked in the switching positions of the locking element by at least one locking device.

An exact alignment and determination of the locking element on a furniture hinge is made possible by the fact that the locking element housing has at least one locking projection with which the locking element housing can be fixed to the hinge cup of the furniture hinge. This ensures that the locking bolt is aligned according to its respective switching position exactly to the linear damper.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the locking bar has a run-on slope and opposite a blocking surface, that in the blocking switching position and pushed out linear damper, the run-on slope of the linear damper or the linear damper connected to the component facing and that in the blocking switching position and with the linear damper inserted, the blocking surface is aligned facing the linear damper or the component connected to the linear damper. Preferably, it may further be provided that on a movably mounted cylinder or a movably mounted piston of the linear damper, a blocking projection is attached, that the blocking lug has a lug bevel and opposite a blocking mating surface, that in the blocking switching position and with the linear muffler pushed out, the lug bevel is aligned facing the locking bolt and that in the blocking switching position and when inserted linear damper, the counter-blocking surface is aligned facing the locking bolt. The blocking element can be actuated when the furniture door, flap or the like is open. Starting from the damping switching position of the blocking element of the linear damper is then ejected. By switching the blocking element in its blocking switching position of the locking bar is pivoted in the travel of the blocking approach. During the subsequent closing of the furniture door, flap or the like and thus the furniture hinge of the linear damper is pushed together. The blocking approach meets with its approach slope on the run-on slope of the locking bolt. The approach slope and the starting slope form sliding surfaces along which the blocking approach slides past the locking bar. Upon reaching the inserted end position of the linear damper of the blocking lug and the locking bolt are arranged side by side to each other such that the blocking surface of the locking bolt rests against the blocking counter surface of the blocking lug. As a result, a pushing out of the linear damper during the next opening of the furniture door, flap or the like and thus the furniture hinge is blocked. The blocking surface and the counter-blocking surface are preferably aligned transversely to the direction of movement of the linear damper and thus of the blocking approach. This avoids that the linear damper in the blocking switching position can slide past from its retracted position on the locking bolt or that the blocking element is moved by the restoring forces transmitted by the linear damper on the locking bolt in its damping switching position. The design of the locking bolt and the blocking approach make it possible that the blocking element can be operated with open furniture door, flap or the like, that the linear damper can be inserted in the blocking switching position of the locking element and that the linear damper then the next time the furniture door, flap or the like is securely held in its retracted position. It is envisaged that the locking bolt is designed to be elastic at least in the pivoting direction of the locking element, the locking bolt can be pressed in the locked switching position when inserting the linear damper by the passing past approach slope and run-up slope to the side. As a result, the way is released, so that the blocking lug past the locking bar and thus the linear damper can be adjusted to its inserted end position. Upon reaching the end position of the linear damper, the locking bar is due to its elasticity back to its original position, so that its blocking surface bears against the blocking counter surface of the blocking approach.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the linear damper is at least partially arranged and guided in a housing, that the hinge cup of the furniture hinge has a reduced in its pot depth mounting area, which is closed at the bottom of a cover, that the housing in the assembly area is secured from the outside to the cover of the hinge cup, a movably mounted portion of the linear damper is guided through an opening in the inner region of the hinge cup and the pivoting range of the hinge arm of the furniture hinge and that the blocking element is set in such a recess of the cover that the handle the locking element in the interior and the locking latch are arranged in the outer region of the hinge cup. The linear damper is arranged outside the hinge cup and thus protected. The interior of the hinge cup is free and therefore easy to clean. The locking element can be operated from the interior of the hinge cup and engages outside of the hinge cup in the travel of the linear damper or connected to the linear damper Blockieransatzes.

If it is provided that the housing facing the locking element has a wall recess, through which the locking bolt is guided into the housing, the movable parts of the linear damper and preferably also of the locking element are each protected and easily mounted in housings. The locking bolt can be introduced through the wall recess in the travel of the damper. A simple installation of the furniture door, flap or the like on the furniture body can be achieved in that the hinge arm can be attached directly or indirectly via a tool-free to be closed connection system to the mounting body. As a result, the hinge arm with the hinge cup can be fastened, for example, to the furniture door, flap or the like and the mounting body to the furniture carcass. The actual assembly of the furniture door, flap or the like to the furniture body is then done without tools. A fitter thus does not have to run a tool and has both hands free for the assembly of the furniture door, flap or the like. Since he preferably also requires no tool for setting the switching position of the locking element, the assembly of the furniture door and adjustment of the damping can be performed easily and quickly.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings:

1 shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture 2 with a hinged furniture door 5. It is conceivable, instead of the furniture door 5, to provide a flap or another piece of furniture hingedly connected to the piece of furniture 2. The furniture door 5 is fastened with two furniture hinges 1 to a frame 4 of a furniture body 3. Each furniture hinge 1, a mounting body 6 and a hinge body 7 are assigned. The hinge body 7 is connected to the furniture door 5. The mounting body 6 is fixed to the frame 4. In this case, the mounting body 6 is fixed to the front side of the frame 4. Such a form of assembly is also known as a face frame and is used in particular in the US market. The furniture hinges 1 make it possible to open the furniture door 5 in a pivoting movement and close.

A coordinate system 8, based on the orientation of the piece of furniture 3, indicates three spatial directions, namely an x-direction 8.1, a y-direction 8.2 and a z-direction 8.3. The spatial directions indicate possible adjustment directions of the furniture door 5, as they are made possible by the furniture hinges 1 to.

Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of the mounting body 6 for fixing the furniture hinge 1 to the furniture body 3. The mounting body 6, a base support 10 and a blocking element 20 are assigned.

The base support 10 serves to fasten the mounting body 6 to the furniture piece 2 shown in FIG. 1. It is preferably designed as a stamped part, in particular as a stamped sheet metal part. A mounting portion 11 of the mounting body 6 is plate-shaped. He has a recess 12. Facing away from the viewer, the base support 10 forms a mounting surface 10.1 in the region of the mounting section 11. The mounting surface 10.1 is bounded by two inner stops 13 and by two outer stops 14, which face each other in a mounting direction 9.1 shown by an arrow. The stops 13, 14 are formed as formed on the mounting portion 11, angled lugs. They are oriented so that they protrude beyond the mounting surface 10.1. Each side and opposite two side guides 15 are integrally formed on the mounting portion 1 1 of the base support 10. The side guides 15 are arranged along the transverse to the mounting direction 9.1 arranged edges of the mounting portion 1 1. They are angled to the mounting portion 11 and facing away from the mounting surface 10.1 away. End side, the side guides 15 are angled such that the final edges of the oppositely disposed side guides 15 face each other. The side guides 15 thus each form a side section 15.1 and a cover section 15.2 formed thereon, which, together with the mounting section 11, each comprise a guide groove 15.4. The guide grooves 15.4 of opposite side guides 15 face each other. They form a sliding guide 15.3. The sliding guide 15.3 is aligned in the mounting direction 9.1.

About a gradation 16.1 a holding lug 16 is attached to the mounting portion 1 1. The retaining lug 16 is formed outside the area limited by the stops 13, 14 on the mounting portion 1 1. At the holding lug 16 two retaining webs 17 are integrally formed laterally. The holding webs 17 are formed as compared to the holding lug 16 angled tabs. Preferably, the holding webs 17 are arranged at an angle of 90 ° relative to the holding lug 16. They are angled away in the direction of the mounting surface 10.1 facing away. The surface normal of the holding webs 17 are aligned transversely to mounting direction 9.1. Each of the retaining webs 17 is penetrated by an axle 17.1. The Achsbohrungen 17.1 of the oppositely arranged holding webs 17 are aligned with each other. In the area between the retaining webs 17 knob-shaped spring guides 18 are formed on the edge of the holding lug 16.

The blocking element 20 is bow-shaped. It has a planar actuating portion 21, are integrally formed on the laterally angled joint portions 22. In the joint portions 22 each have an axle 22.1 is introduced in the form of a bore. The axle mounts 22.1 are aligned with each other. The hinge portions 22 are aligned such that they are arranged laterally and slightly spaced from the retaining webs 17 of the base support 10 with mounted mounting body 6. The axle mounts 22.1 are then aligned with the Achsbohrungen 17.1 of the holding webs 17 aligned. Hidden or partially hidden by the operating portion 21 are holding portions 23, as shown in Fig. 5, formed on the actuating portion 21. The holding portions 23 are arranged on the opposite of the mounting direction 9.1 aligned edge of the actuating portion 21. They are tab-shaped and angled relative to the actuating portion 21 in the direction of the holding lug 16. It is also conceivable to provide a continuous holding section 23 along the edge of the actuating section 21. The actuating portion 21 forms on its side facing away from the holding projection 16 an actuating side 21 .1 and opposite a spring contact surface 21.2. To improve the feel, the actuation side 21 .1 has a structured surface.

The mounting body 6 is further associated with an axis 26. The axis 26 has stops on the end in the form of widenings 26.1. In this case, at least one of the widenings 26.1 is only attached during the assembly of the mounting body 6.

The blocking element 20 is associated with two springs 25. The springs 25 each have a winding region 25.1, which is connected to a spring clip 25.3. The ends of the springs 25 are formed as legs 25.2. The legs 25.2 of the springs 25 are aligned in the direction of the spring contact surface 21.1 of the blocking element 20 and the spring clip 25.3 in the direction of the surface of the holding lug 16.

Fig. 3 shows the assembled body 6 shown in Fig. 2, assembled in a plan view. The same components are referred to as introduced to Fig. 2. The blocking element 20 is pivotally connected by means of the axis 26 with the base support 10 of the mounting body 6. For this purpose, as clearly Fig. 4 can be seen, the hinge portions 22 arranged laterally outside of the holding webs 17 and the axis 26 is inserted through the now aligned axle mounts 22.1 and axle holes 17.1, as shown in Fig. 2. At the end, the widenings 26.1 are integrally formed on the axle 26 so that they can not be pushed unintentionally out of the axle bores 17.1 and axle receptacles 22.1. The axis 26 thus forms an axis of rotation for the blocking element 20. This is arranged in the mounting direction 9.1 in extension of the sliding guide 15.3. The springs 25 are between the spring contact surface 21 .2 of the actuating portion 21 shown in FIG opposite side of the retaining lug 16 of the base support 10 used biased. They push the blocking element 20 thus in its closed position. In this closed position, the blocking element 20 rests with its holding sections 23 shown in FIG. 2 on the holding lug 16.

With reference to the description of FIG. 3, FIG. 4 shows the mounting body 6 shown in FIG. 3 in a perspective view. In this perspective, the arrangement of the springs 25 is clearly visible. The spring clip 25.3 bear against the blocking element 20 facing side of the retaining lug 16. They are guided laterally by the integrally formed on the retaining lug 16 spring guides 18. The legs 25.2 of the springs 25 abut against the spring contact surface 21 .2 of the actuating portion 21 of the blocking element 20. Due to the bias of the springs 25, the blocking element 20 is adjusted to its closed position. Fig. 5 shows the mounting body 6 shown in Fig. 3 in a side sectional view. In this case, the cutting path follows the section line marked V in FIG. The base support 10 has in its mounting portion 1 1, the mounting surface 10.1, with which the mounting body 6 rests with the furniture hinge 1 mounted on the furniture body 3. The inner and outer stops 13, 14 are integrally formed on the mounting portion 1 1 and over the mounting surface 10.1 over. The mounting surface 10.1 is thus limited by the stops 13, 14. The mounting body 6 can be created with the mounting surface 10.1 to the frame 4 of a furniture body 3 and aligned with the help of at least two of the stops 13, 14 with respect to this. The side guides 15 are integrally formed on the base support 10. The guide grooves 15.4 are aligned in the direction of the mounting portion 1 1. Together with the opposite side guides 15 and the mounting portion 1 1, the guide grooves 15.4 form a sliding guide 15.3. This is aligned in mounting direction 9.1. The mounting portion 1 1 goes over the gradation 16.1 in the holding section 16 on. This is offset parallel to the mounting portion 1 1 aligned. The blocking element 20 is connected by means of the axis 26 pivotally connected to the retaining webs 17 of the base support 10. For this purpose, the axis 26, as described for Fig. 3, through the Achsbohrungen 17.1 of the oppositely arranged holding webs 17 and the axle mounts 22.1, which are formed in the joint portions 22 of the blocking element 20, inserted. The springs 25 are each attached with their winding area 25.1 on the axis 26. The legs are 25.2 of the springs 25 on the spring contact surface 21.2 of the blocking element 20 at. The spring clip 25.3 rest against the retaining lug 16. They are guided laterally by the integrally formed on the retaining lug 16 spring guides 18. The springs 25 are biased. As a result, a torque directed against an actuating direction 9.2 indicated by an arrow is transmitted to the blocking element 20. The blocking element 20 is thereby adjusted and held about its axis of rotation formed by the axis 26 in the closed position shown. In this closed position, the holding portions 23 abut on the holding lug 16. By the gradation 16.1 it is achieved that the axis of rotation formed by the axis 26 is arranged in extension of the sliding guide 15.3. By pressing the actuating side 21.1, the blocking element 20 can be adjusted counter to the spring force according to the operating direction 9.1 of its closed position shown in an open position. Fig. 6 shows an exploded view of a hinge body 7 with a hinge cup 30 for fixing the furniture hinge 1 to a furniture door 5, flap or the like. The hinge body 7 is further associated with a hinge arm 40 and in the present case an intermediate part 80 and a connecting element 50. As shown in Fig. 1, the hinge cup 30 can be inserted into a hole in the furniture door 5 and screwed to the furniture door 5, flap or the like with screws which are guided by laterally formed on the hinge cup 30 side flanges 33. For this purpose, the side flanges 33 are penetrated by mounting holes 33.1. A centering region 31, starting from an outer bearing surface 32, forms a recess, which merges into a mounting region 34 (see FIG. 9) of the hinge cup 30 which is likewise designed as a recess. Towards the furniture door 5, the hinge cup 30 is closed off in the mounting area 34 by a cover 37. In the cover 37 locking recesses are introduced in the form of openings. In the recesses detent elements 73 are engaged. The latching elements 73 are part of a housing 70 shown in FIG. 11 for receiving a linear damper 60. The linear damper 60 is thus arranged outside of the hinge cup 30 below the cover 37 of the mounting area 34. In order to provide sufficient space for receiving the linear damper 60, the cover 37 has a recess 37.1, along which the linear damper 60 is arranged. A portion of the linear damper 60 is inserted through an opening 35 in the centering region 31. In the embodiment shown, a movably mounted cylinder 61 of the linear damper 100 is inserted into the centering region 31. The cylinder 61 has an end 62 on a slope. In a recess of the cover 37, a blocking element 100 is inserted. With the aid of the blocking element 100, the linear damper 60 can be blocked in a retracted position, so that the slope 62 is not guided into the centering region 31. A second spring 38 is also disposed outside of the hinge cup 30. It is guided with its free ends 38.2 through the opening 35 in the centering 31. The designed as a leg spring second spring 38 has a winding 38.3 and a second spring clip 38.1. The centering region 31 is formed by pot side walls 31.2, a rounding section 31.4 and a pot bottom 31.1. In the opposite pot side walls 31.2 hinge seats 31.3 are recessed in the form of holes. The joint receptacles 31.3 is associated with a hinge pin 39 with end stop portions 39.1. In this case, an abutment portion 39.1 is formed on the hinge pin 39 only when the hinge body 7 is assembled.

The hinge arm 40 has an articulated lever 43. At the end and facing the hinge cup 30, a bolt receptacle 41 is integrally formed on the articulated lever 43, as shown in more detail in FIG. 9. The bolt receptacle 41 is formed as a cylindrically curved end region of the articulated lever 43. In the area of the bolt receptacle 41, two guide curves 42 are arranged on the articulated lever 43 opposite to one another laterally.

The articulated lever 43 is integrally connected to a fixing portion 44 of the hinge arm 40. It is also conceivable to form the articulated lever 43 and the fastening section 44 separately and to connect them to one another, for example with the aid of fastening means. Preferably, the attachment portion 44 is designed as a stamped part. It has laterally to the connecting element 50 toward angled side region 44.2. These form in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the hinge arm 40 aligned guide surfaces 41.1 out. In the attachment portion 44, a threaded receptacle 45 and a recess 46 are introduced. About a gradation an extension 44.3 is integrally formed on the mounting portion 44. The plane of the extension piece 44.3 is offset in the direction of the intermediate part 80 with respect to the plane of the fastening portion 44. The endpiece 44.3 is pierced by an X-eccentric 47 in the form of a slot.

Between the hinge arm 40 and the connecting element 50, the intermediate part 80 is arranged and aligned for mounting with the hinge arm 40 and the connecting element 50. The intermediate part 80 has a surface-formed abutment portion 81, to which a likewise flat trained approach 82 is formed. The plane of the projection 82 is offset from the plane of the contact portion 81 in the direction of the hinge arm 40. The projection 82 is arranged opposite to the attachment piece 44.3 of the hinge arm 40. In the present case, the projection 82 is connected to the contact section 81 by means of three webs 81 .2 which are oriented towards the hinge arm 40. Between the webs 81.2, the contact section 81 in each case has an extension in the form of guide straps 81.1. In the approach 82 in alignment with the X-eccentric 47, an X-eccentric bearing 83 is introduced in the form of a bore. Opposite to the recess 46 of the hinge arm 40, a Y-eccentric guide 84 in the form of a slot and a through hole 86 are formed in the abutment portion 81. Opposite to the Y eccentric guide 84, a Y-guide cam 89 is attached to the abutment portion 81. The Y-guide cam 89 is passed through the abutment portion 81 and rises above the surface of the abutting portion 81 toward the connecting member 50. Laterally, side flaps are attached to the abutting portion 81. The side flaps 85 are angled relative to the abutment portion 81 and aligned in the direction of the hinge arm 40. Opposite to the projection 82, a fastening web 87 is integrally formed on the contact section 81. The fastening web 87 rises in the direction of the hinge arm 40 over the surface of the abutment portion 81. Its upper surface is arranged at the level of the projection 82 of the intermediate part 80. In the surface of the fastening web 87, starting from the outer edge, a set screw receptacle 88 is incorporated in the form of a slot. The adjusting screw receptacle 88 is arranged opposite to the threaded receptacle 45 of the hinge arm 40. The connecting element 50 has a flat base 51. In mounting direction 9.1 two outer retaining tabs 55 are integrally formed on the main body 51. The outer retaining tabs 55 are bent out of the plane of the main body 51 in the direction of the hinge arm 40 in such a way that they respectively embrace an outer retaining groove 55.1 which is open against the mounting direction 9.1. Opposite to the outer retaining tabs 55 inner retaining tabs 54 are integrally formed on the edge of the main body 51. The inner retaining tabs 54 are formed in mirror image to the outer retaining tabs 55, so that each one enclosed by the inner retaining tabs 54 inner retaining 54.1 is aligned towards the opposite outer retaining groove 55.1 of the outer retaining tabs 55. By the retaining tabs 54, 55 thus aligned transversely to the mounting direction 9.1 linear guide is formed. The intermediate part 80 can be introduced into the outer retaining grooves 55.1 with its edge oriented counter to the mounting direction 9.1 in the inner retaining grooves 54.1 and with its edges of the guide straps 81 .1 aligned in the mounting direction 9.1. The intermediate part 80 can thus be displaced transversely to the mounting direction 9.1 and in the plane of the abutment portion 81, while it is held in the remaining directions by the retaining tabs 54, 55 and the main body 51 of the connecting element 50. At this time, the Y-guide cam 89 is guided in a Y-guide long hole 58 of the connecting member 50.

Each side of a guide portion 52 is integrally formed on the main body 51 of the connecting element 50. The guide portions 52 are formed flat. They are aligned along their longitudinal extension in mounting direction 9.1. The transverse to the assembly direction 9.1 arranged side edges of the guide portions 52 form leading edge 52.3. Towards the front end, in each case an extension of the guide edges 52.3, an outwardly pointing threading round 52.1 is formed on the guide sections 52. In the area of, relative to the mounting direction 9.1, front end of the guide portions 52, these are each penetrated by a recess 52.4. The recesses 52.4 are groove-shaped and facing each other introduced into the guide portions 52. Contrary to the direction of movement 9.1 and opposite to the Einfädelrundungen 52.1 a stop portion 52.2 is integrally formed on the guide portions 52. These limit the leading edges 52.3. In the main body 51, an opening 53 is introduced. The opening 53 is arranged opposite to the passage opening 86 of the intermediate part 80 and thus the recess 46 of the hinge arm 40. Laterally of the opening 53 of the main body 51, a Y-eccentric bearing 56 is introduced in the form of a bore in the main body 51. The Y-eccentric bearing 56 is arranged in alignment with the Y-eccentric guide 84 of the intermediate part 80. On the opposite side of the aperture 53, the main body 51 is penetrated by the Y-guide slot 58. The Y-guide long hole 58 is disposed opposite to the Y-guide cam 89 of the intermediate member 80.

The hinge body 7 is further associated with a set screw 90 with a set screw tool holder 90.1, a thread 90.2, a groove 90.3 and a degree 90.4. The adjusting screw 90 is designed such that it can be screwed with its thread 90.2 in the threaded receptacle 45 of the hinge arm 40. The groove 90.3 then engages in the adjusting screw receptacle 88 of the intermediate part 80. Axially, the assembled screw 90 is held by the relative to the groove in its enlarged diameter end 90.4 on the mounting web 87 of the intermediate part 80. The hinge body 7 is associated with an X eccentric 91. The X-eccentric 91 has an X-tool holder 91.1, an X-guide portion 91.2 and an X-eccentric cam 91.3. The X-eccentric cam 91.3 is located outside the central axis of the X-guide portion 91.2. The X eccentric 91 is aligned with the X eccentric guide 47 of the hinge arm 40 and the X eccentric bearing 83 of the intermediate member 80. The X-eccentric cam 91.3 engages in the X-eccentric bearing 83. The X-guide portion 91.2 is guided in the X-eccentric 47 of the hinge arm 40.

The hinge body 7 is further associated with a Y-eccentric 92, which corresponds in its structure to the X-eccentric 91. It thus has an Y-tool holder 92.1, a Y-guide portion 92.2 and a Y-eccentric cam 92.3. The Y-eccentric cam 92.3 is located outside the central axis of the Y-guide portion 92.2. The Y eccentric 92 is aligned with the Y eccentric guide 84 of the intermediate member 80 and the Y eccentric bearing 56 of the connecting member 50. Mounted, the Y-cam 92.3 engages the Y-cam 56 eccentric. The Y-guide region 92.2 is guided in the Y-eccentric guide 84 of the intermediate part 80. FIG. 7 shows the assembled hinge body 7 shown in FIG. 6 in a plan view. FIG. 8 shows the hinge body 7 shown in FIG. 7 in a perspective view, while FIG. 9 shows the hinge body 7 shown in FIG. 7 in a lateral sectional view. The section runs along a section line marked IX in FIG. 7.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 9, the articulated lever 43 is guided into the centering region 31 of the hinge cup 30 and articulated there. For this purpose, the hinge pin 39 shown in Fig. 6 39 is guided by the hinge seats 31 .3 of the pot side walls 31.2 of the centering 31 and the bolt holder 41 of the articulated lever 43 and axially fixed by end stop portions 39.1, as can be seen in particular FIG. The free ends 38.2 of the second spring 38 rest on the guide curves 42 on the articulated lever 43 and transmit a spring force to them. The guide curves 42 are designed so that the second spring 38 from a certain opening angle of the furniture hinge 1 an opening movement and from a certain angle of the furniture hinge 1 a closing movement of the furniture hinge 1 and thus the connected furniture door 5, flap or the like supported. As clearly shown in Fig. 9, the linear damper 60 is introduced with the slope 62 of its cylinder 61 in the centering region 31 and thus in the travel of the articulated lever 43. Opposite the linear damper 60 is supported with a piston 63 on the housing 70. When closing the furniture hinge 1, the hinge lever 43 applies to the slope 62 of the linear damper 60 and presses it together. As a result, the closing movement of the furniture hinge 1 is damped in its last movement section. The movement of the linear damper 60 can be blocked in its retracted position by means of the locking element 100 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. As a result, an undamped furniture hinge 1 is obtained. The attachment portion 44 of the hinge arm 40 is connected to the intermediate part 80, as shown in more detail in FIG. 9. The intermediate part 80 is in turn connected to the connecting element 50. In this case, the intermediate part 80 is mounted transversely to the mounting direction 9.1 linearly adjustable on the connecting element 50, as described for Figure 6. As can be seen clearly from FIG. 9, the adjusting screw 90 is screwed with its thread 90.2 into the threaded receptacle 45 of the hinge arm 40. It is mounted with its groove 90.3 in the adjusting screw 88. Due to the extension 90.4, which is widened in its diameter relative to the groove 90.3, the intermediate part 80 is held axially by the adjusting screw 90. The X eccentric 91 is guided laterally in the X eccentric guide 47 of the hinge arm 40 with its X guide region 91 .2 and is inserted into the X eccentric bearing 83 of the intermediate part 80 with its eccentrically arranged X eccentric cam 91. The Y-eccentric 92 is correspondingly and not shown in section with its Y-guide portion 92.2 laterally guided in the Y eccentric 84 of the intermediate part 80 and with its Y-eccentric cam 92.3 in the Y-eccentric bearing 56 of the connecting element 50 shown in FIG plugged in. Here, the Y-tool holder 92.1 is accessible through the recess 46 in the attachment portion 44 of the hinge arm 40, as can be seen in particular from Fig. 7.

The adjusting screw 90 and the two eccentrics 91, 92 serve to align the assembled furniture door 5 on the furniture body 3. It can be changed by means of the adjusting screw 90, the distance between the mounting portion 44 of the hinge arm 40 and the intermediate part 80 and thus the furniture door 5 along the z -Axis 8.3, as shown in Fig. 1, are adjusted. The X-eccentric 91 allows the adjustment of the assembled furniture door 5 along the x-axis 8.1 shown in FIG. In this case, the hinge arm 40 is displaced relative to the intermediate part 80 in the x direction 8.1 by turning the X-eccentric 91. The intermediate part 80 is guided to the side by the guide surfaces 44.1 of the side regions 44.2 of the fastening portion 44 of the hinge arm 40 against which the side flaps 85 and the projection 82 of the intermediate part 80 abut (see FIG. 6). The Y-eccentric 92 allows the orientation of the furniture door 5 along the y-axis 8.2 shown in FIG. By a rotation of the Y-eccentric 92, the intermediate part 80 and thus the hinge arm 40 blocked with the intermediate part in the y-direction is displaced linearly relative to the connecting element 50 along the y-axis 8.2. The intermediate part moves thereby guided by the retaining grooves 54.1, 55.1 formed by the retaining tabs 54, 55, as they are also shown in Fig. 6. In this case, an additional guidance is achieved by the Y guide cam 89 of the intermediate part 80, which is guided linearly in the Y-guide slot 58 of the connecting element 50. As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 9, in the assembly direction 9.1 the guide sections 52 of the main body 51 of the connecting element 50 with their latching recesses 52.4 form the foremost region of the hinge body 7. As can be seen in particular in the view selected in FIG. 8, the second spring 38 is arranged outside of the hinge cup 30. It is, as shown in Fig. 7, guided with their free ends 38.2 through the opening 35 in the centering 31 of the hinge cup 30 and there to the guide curves 42 of the hinge arm 40. Likewise, the linear damper 60 is arranged with its housing 70 below the mounting region 34 of the hinge cup 30 and guided through the opening 35 into the centering region 31. In the sectional view in Fig. 9, the mounting of the second spring 38 is shown on the housing 70. The housing 70 forms towards its housing bottom 71 on the hinge arm 40 side facing away from a spring retainer 72. The second spring clip 38.1 of the second spring 38 is held in the spring receptacle 72.

As shown in particular in FIG. 9, the centering region 31, starting from the outer contact surface 32, forms a recess. The mounting area 34 also forms such a recess. The pot depth in the mounting area 34 is less than in the centering area 41. The mounting area 34 is closed by a cover 37. The linear damper 60 is attached to the cover 37 of the mounting portion 34 from the outside. For this purpose, the linear damper 60 is mounted in the housing 70. The housing 70 is fastened to the cover 37 of the mounting region 34 by means of the latching elements 73 shown in FIG. The housing bottom 71 is preferably arranged in the same plane as the pot bottom 31 .1 of the centering region 31.

On the cylinder 61 of the linear damper 60, a blocking projection 67 is attached. In the present case, the blocking projection 67 is integrally formed on the cylinder 61. Facing away from the housing bottom 71, the blocking projection 67 has a shoulder bevel 67.1. The approach slope 67.1 is inclined in the direction of movement of the cylinder 61 when pushing the linear damper 60. In the direction of movement of the cylinder 61 when the linear damper 60 is pushed apart, the blocking projection 67 forms a blocking counter-surface 67.2. Fig. 10 shows in a perspective view of the hinge body 7 and the ontagekörper 6 in a mutually aligned position. In this case, in deviation from the illustrations in FIGS. 2 to 5, the actuating section 21 of the blocking element 20 is extended and angled beyond the legs 25. 2 of the springs 25 so that the springs 25 are covered towards a user. The hinge body 7 is opened and held in this position by the second spring 38. The guide sections 52 of the connecting element 50 are aligned with their latching recesses 52.4 in the direction of the blocking element 20 of the mounting body 6. They are laterally over the mounting portion 44 of the hinge arm 40 via. The hinge body 7 can be inserted with its guide portions 52 along the mounting direction 9.1 in the sliding guide 15.3 of the mounting body 6. The sliding guide 15.3 is formed by the guide grooves 15.4, as they are formed by the laterally arranged on the mounting portion 1 1 of the base support 10 of the mounting body 6 side guides 15. When inserting the connecting element 50 into the sliding guide 15.3 slide the guide edges 52.3 of the guide portions 52 along the inner surfaces of the side portions 15.1 of the side guides 15. The hinge body 7 can thus be adjusted only in or against the mounting direction 9.1 in inserted into the sliding guide 15.3 guide portions 52. The Einfädelrundungen 52.1 facilitate the insertion of the guide portions 52 in the guide grooves 15.4.

In a first assembly step, the connecting element 50 is inserted so far into the sliding guide 15.3 until the guide portions 52 abut with their front edges on the holding portions 23 of the blocking element 20 shown in FIG. The hinge body 7 is now held transversely to the mounting direction 9.1 on the mounting body 6. For further insertion of the connecting element 50 in the sliding guide 15.3, the blocking element 20 is moved from its closing position shown in Figure 10 along the operating direction 9.2 in an open position. In this case, the blocking element 20 pivots against the spring force introduced by the two springs 25 about the axis of rotation formed by the axis 26. Upon further displacement of the connecting element 50 in the mounting direction 9.1 reach the recess 52.4 in the region of the holding portions shown in Figure 5. By the springs 25, the blocking element 20 is now moved back to its closed position, whereby the holding portions 23 engage in the recesses 52.4. As a result, the hinge body 7 is also in or against the mounting direction 9.1 blocked. Upon reaching the assembly position in which the latching recess 52.4 is arranged opposite the holding section 23 of the blocking element 20, the stop sections 52.2 mounted laterally on the guide sections 52 abut the front side guides 15.1 of the sliding guide 15.3. As a result, an exact alignment of the hinge body 7 with respect to the mounting body 6 is achieved in the mounting position.

Fig. 1 1 shows a perspective view of the assembled furniture hinge 1. In Fig. 12, the furniture hinge 1 shown in Fig. 1 1 is shown in a plan view. Fig. 13 shows the furniture hinge 1 shown in Fig. 1 1 in a side sectional view. The cutting process is marked in Fig. 12 and marked with XIII.

The connecting element 50 is inserted as a component connected to the hinge arm 40 into its mounting position in the sliding guide 15.3 of the mounting body 6. Transverse to mounting direction 9.1, the connecting element 50 is held by the side guides 15. In the mounting direction 9.1, the abutment portions 52.2 bear against the side guides 15 facing away from the blocking element 20. Contrary to the mounting direction 9.1, the connecting element 50 is blocked by the engagement of the holding sections 23 of the blocking element 20 in the latching recesses 52.4 of the guide sections 52 of the connecting element 50, as can be seen in particular from the sectional view in FIG. The blocking element 20 is held by the two springs 25 in its closed position. Thus, the hinge body 7 is fixed to the mounting body 6.

In order to release the hinge body 7 from the mounting body 6, the blocking element 20 can be adjusted by its pressure on the actuating side 21 .1 of its actuating portion 21 against its spring force introduced by the springs 25 in its open position. The blocking element 20 is thereby pivoted about the axis 26 in accordance with the actuating direction 9.2. The holding portions 23 of the blocking element 20 are thus brought out of engagement with the latching recesses 52.4 of the connecting element 50. The connecting element 50 can now be pulled against the mounting direction 9.1 from the sliding guide 15.3. 14 shows a side view of the furniture hinge 1 mounted on the piece of furniture 2. The hinge cup 40 is fixed in a bore of the furniture door 5 and bolted to the side of the side flanges 33 to the furniture door 5. The mounting body 6 is fixed to the frame 4 of the furniture 2. For this purpose, the mounting body 6 is with its mounting surface 10.1 on the frame 4. The outer stop 14 is located at the edge of the frame 4 at. As a result, the position of the mounting body 6 relative to the frame 4 is fixed. The mounting body 6 is fastened to the frame 4 by means of a screw connection. For this purpose, a screw 19 is guided through the recess 12 of the base support 10.

For mounting the furniture door 5, the mounting body 6 and the hinge body 7 are present separately. Both are pre-assembled. First, the mounting body 6 is aligned with the outer stop 14 on the frame 4. Subsequently, the mounting body 6 is screwed to the frame 4. The hinge cup 30 is inserted into the bore of the furniture door 5, aligned and screwed to the furniture door 5. For several provided furniture hinges 1, these are mounted accordingly. The one or more furniture hinges 1 are folded into their open position. Subsequently, the furniture door 5 is held to the opening of the furniture body 2 and aligned so that the guide portions 52 of the respective connecting element 50 are aligned with the arranged on the mounting body 6 sliding guide 15.2. The furniture door 5 is now pushed towards the furniture body 2. The guide sections 52 thread into the sliding guide 15.3. By Einfädelrundungen 52.1, the guide portions 52 can be easily and simultaneously threaded into the sliding guides 15.2 even with several furniture hinges 1 provided on the furniture door.

First, the guide portions 52 are inserted so far into the sliding guide 15.3 until they abut against the holding portions 23 of the blocking element 20. The connecting element 50 is now held transversely to the mounting direction 9.1 in the sliding guide 15.3. The sliding guide 15.3 is aligned so that the connecting element 50 does not slide due to the force of gravity from the sliding guide 15.3. A fitter can thus let go of the furniture door 5 with teilingeschobenem connecting element 50 without this falls. In a further step, the connecting element 50 is further inserted in the mounting direction 9.1 in the sliding guide 15.3. This can be done for example by a corresponding pressure on the furniture door 5 done. In this case, the blocking element 20 is adjusted by a corresponding pressure on the actuating portion in its open position. The connecting element 50 can now so far in the sliding guide

15.3 are inserted until the final assembly position is reached. In this mounting position, the abutment portions 52.2 of the guide portions 52 bear on the front side guides 15 of the base support 10. The recesses

52.4 at the guide portions 52 of the connecting element 50 are arranged in the region of the holding portion 23 of the blocking element 20. The blocking element 20 is therefore rotated by the springs 25 in its closed position shown in FIG. 14 and the holding portions 23 are brought into engagement with the latching recesses 52.4 of the connecting element 50. As a result, a movement of the hinge body 7 is blocked in or against the mounting direction 9.1. For disassembly, the blocking element 20 is manually adjusted to its open position. The connecting element 50 can now be pulled against its mounting direction 9.1 from its mounting position. The connecting element 50 is still held by the sliding guide 15.3 transverse to the mounting direction 9.1. A fitter can thus solve successively provided on the furniture door 5 furniture hinges 1, without having to keep the weight of the furniture door 5 at the same time. Are all fasteners 50 of the proposed furniture hinges 1 pulled out of its mounting position, the furniture door 5 can be deducted from the furniture body 3.

FIG. 15 shows a perspective exploded view of the blocking element 100. The locking element 100 is assigned a bearing pin 101, a blocking element housing 102 and a blocking element insert 103.

The blocking element housing 102 has oppositely disposed locking element housing side walls 102.3. The blocking element housing side walls 103.2 are connected to one another end to end with a blocking element housing outer wall 102.4 and opposite to a locking element housing inner wall 102.5 which is largely concealed in the selected view. On the blocking element housing side walls 102.3, the blocking element housing outer wall 102.4 and the blocking element housing inner wall 102.5, a circumferential abutment flange 102.1 is placed, which protrudes outwardly beyond the respective walls. Opposite to the abutment flange 102.1 is the Locking element housing 102 completed by a concealed Sperrelementgehäuse- bottom. For locking element housing outer wall toward a locking switch position 102.7 on the abutment flange 102.1, in this case by a 0, characterized. Opposite and aligned with the blocking element housing inner wall 102.5, a damping switching position 102.8 is marked on the abutment flange 102.1, in this case by a 1. At the locking element housing side walls 102.3 each locking lugs 102.6 are attached to the outside. Towards the inside, in each case one latching device 102.9, which is configured in the form of a bar, is integrally formed on the blocking element housing side walls 102.3. The Sperrelementgehäuse- side walls 102.3 are further interrupted in each case by mutually aligned bearing pin guides 102.2.

The blocking element insert 103 is formed from a cylindrical rotary body 103.1, on whose outer circumference angularly offset from each other, a handle 103.5 and a locking bar 103.3 are formed. The rotary body 103.1 is pierced along its central longitudinal axis by a bearing pin receptacle 103.2. The locking bar 103.3 has a blocking surface 103.6. The surface normal of the blocking surface 103.6 is aligned in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the bearing pin receptacle 103.2. Opposite to the blocking surface 103.6, the locking bar 103.3 is formed with an end chamfered by a run-on bevel 103.4. The length of the cylindrically shaped rotary body 103.1 is selected such that the rotary body 103.1 is arranged with little play between the two blocking element housing side walls 102.3 and the bearing pin receptacle 103.2 can be aligned in alignment with the bearing bolt guides 102.2 of the blocking element housing 102. The cylindrically shaped bearing pin 101 can be inserted through the bearing pin guides 102.2 and the bearing pin receptacle 103.2. The blocking element insert 103 is thereby rotatably mounted in the blocking element housing 102. When the blocking element 100 is mounted, the handle 103.5 protrudes from the blocking element housing 102 in the area of the abutment flange 102.1. The locking bar 103.3 is guided out of the blocking element housing 102 through a concealed opening in the blocking element housing inner wall 102.5. With the aid of the handle 103.5, the locking element insert 103 can be rotated about its axis of rotation formed by the bearing pin 101. In this case, the locking bar 103.3 also oscillates about this axis of rotation. The blocking element insert 103 can in the present case be set in two switching positions, namely the blocking switching position 102.7 and the damping switching position 102.8. These are achieved when the handle 103.5 rests in the region of the respective associated marking (0 or 1) on the abutment flange 102.1. In the two switching positions of the blocking element insert 103 is held by the locking device 103.9. As a result, unintentional adjustment of the blocking element 100, for example by a user of the piece of furniture, can be avoided.

The handle 103.5 is arranged laterally of the axis of rotation on a circumferential path about the axis of rotation. As a result, a lever is formed, which allows a simple tool-free operation of the locking element 100 even with small-sized handle 103.5. By, with respect to the axis of rotation, lateral arrangement of the handle 103.5 no arranged in the axial direction of the locking element 100 actuator must be provided. As a result, the blocking element 100 can be arranged to a large extent outside the hinge cup 30 and only the handle 103.5 must be guided into the interior of the hinge cup 30, as shown in more detail in FIG. 17.

16 shows a perspective view of a linear damper 60 with a housing 70. In such a linear damper 60, the piston 63 is pushed into the cylinder 61 by a force acting axially on the linear damper 60, the damping action of the linear damper 60 counteracting the action Force occurs. For this purpose, either the piston 63 or, as provided in the present installation situation, the cylinder 61 can be moved.

The cylinder 61 is approximately half-cylindrical in shape and opposite closed by a flat cylinder bottom 64. On the side of the cylinder 61, a first lower guide web 65.1 and at a distance from it a first upper guide web 66.1 are integrally formed. Opposite the first lower guide web 65.1 and the first upper guide web 66.1, a second lower guide web 65.2 and a second upper guide web 66.2 are arranged on the cylinder 61. The guide webs 65.1, 65.2, 66.1, 66.2 are aligned along the longitudinal extension of the cylinder 61. At the end and opposite to the piston 63, the cylinder 61, the slope 62 on. On the side of the first lower guide web 65.1 of the blocking projection 67 is integrally formed on the cylinder 61. The blocking projection 67 is present web-shaped. It is aligned transversely to the longitudinal extent of the linear damper 60 in its longitudinal extent. In this case, the blocking projection 67 is shaped such that it follows the rounding of the cylindrical outer surface of the cylinder 61. At one end, the blocking projection 67 merges into the first lower guide web 65.1. At its opposite end, the blocking projection 67 on the approach slope 67.1. For this purpose, the blocking projection 67 is formed bevelled end toward the housing 70. Opposite the approach slope 67.1 of the blocking projection 67 forms the blocking counter surface 67.2. This is thus arranged away from the housing 70. The surface normal of the blocking counter surface 67.2 is aligned in the direction of movement of the linear damper 60.

The housing 70 has a housing bottom 71, on the opposite two housing side walls 75, 76 are integrally formed. At the end, the two housing side walls 75, 76 are connected to one another by a housing rear wall 74. The housing rear wall 74 ends at a distance from the housing bottom 71. As a result, the spring receptacle 72 is formed in the form of a gap between the housing rear wall 74 and the housing bottom 71. Opposite to the housing rear wall 74 and the linear damper 60, the housing 70 is opened by a housing opening 77. Facing away from the housing bottom 71, the latching elements 73 are integrally formed on the housing side walls 75, 76. The first housing side wall 75 is pierced by a wall recess 75.1. It is used in mounted furniture hinge 1 of the implementation of the locking bolt 103.3 of the locking element 100 shown in Figure 15 through the housing opening 77 of the linear damper 60 can be inserted into the housing 70. He then lies with his piston 63 on the housing rear wall 74, whereby the piston is fixed in its position. The cylinder 61 is mounted linearly mounted on the housing bottom 71 when the furniture hinge 1 is mounted. For smooth adjustment of the cylinder 61, the housing bottom 71 in the direction of movement of the cylinder 61 extending bottom webs 71.1, on which the cylinder 61 slides. The housing side walls 75, 76 are formed laterally to the housing opening 77, starting from the housing bottom 71, set back to its opposite side. As a result, the slope 62 of the linear damper 60 is released, while the cylinder bottom 64 is at least largely supported by the housing bottom 71 even when the linear damper 60 is pushed out. 17 shows a top view of the hinge cup 30 of the furniture hinge 1, as has already been described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. The blocking element 100 is inserted laterally of the linear damper 60 into a recess in the cover 37 of the hinge cup 30. In this case, the blocking element 100 rests with its bearing flange 102.1 shown in FIG. 15 at the edge of the recess on the cover 37. By the locking lugs 102.6 also shown in Figure 15 on the Sperrelementgehäuse- side walls 102.3, the locking element housing 102 is fixed in the recess 37 of the cover. The blocking element 100 is aligned such that its axis of rotation, as described for FIG. 15, is aligned in the direction of movement of the linear damper 60. Thus, the axis of rotation in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the linear damper 60 and in the direction of the damping effect of the linear damper 60 is aligned.

In the illustration shown, the blocking element 100 is placed in its blocking switching position 102.7. The handle 103.5 is thus pushed in the direction of the marked with a 0 area of the abutment flange 102.1. By the locking device 102.9 shown in Figure 15, the locking element 100 is secured against accidental adjustment by a user. The handle 103.5 can be adjusted in a pivoting movement about the axis of rotation of the blocking element 100 from the blocking switching position 102.7 in the damping switching position 102.8. The restraint forces applied by the detent device 102.9 are thereby overcome. In the damping switching position 102.3, the handle 103.5 bears against the abutment flange 102.1 on the side marked with a 1. He is locked in this position again by the locking device 102.9. The locking device 102.9 thus ensures that the blocking switching position 102.7 and the damping switching position 102.8 are each set exactly and that accidental adjustment of the locking element 100 is prevented by a user.

When adjusting the handle 103.5, the locking element insert 103 is rotated about the axis of rotation of the locking element 100. As a result, the locking bar 103.3 shown in FIG. 15 is also pivoted about the axis of rotation. The locking bar 103.3 can thus be brought into engagement in the blocking switching position 102.7 and in the damping switching position 102.8 out of engagement with the blocking shoulder 67 of the linear damper 60. By aligning the axis of rotation of the locking element 100 in the direction of movement of the linear damper 60 while the locking bar is 103.3 on a transverse to Moving direction of the linear damper extending circular path in the adjustment range of the blocking projection 67 of the linear damper 60 on or swung. Preferably, the axis of rotation is oriented such that the circular path on which the locking bar 103.3 is moved, is aligned perpendicular to the direction of movement of the linear damper 60. Thus, no force component acting in the adjustment direction of the blocking element 100 can be transmitted to the locking bar 103.3 of the linear damper 60 and the associated blocking projection 67. As a result, regardless of the effect of the latching device 102.9, it is ensured that the switching position 102.7, 102.8 of the blocking element 100 is not unintentionally adjusted by the action of the linear damper 60. This applies in particular to a possible wear of the latching device 102.9 with repeated adjustment of the blocking element 100.

FIG. 18 shows, in a side sectional view, the hinge cup 30 shown in FIG. 17. The angled-running sectional profile is shown in FIG. 17 and marked with XVIII.

In the representation selected in FIG. 18, the blocking element 100 is adjusted into its blocking switching position 102.7. The locking bar 103.3 is thus pivoted into the adjustment range of the blocking projection 67. The linear damper 60 is present in its retracted position. In the blocking switching position 102.7 of the blocking element 100 and the inserted position of the linear damper 60, the locking bar 103.3 rests with its blocking surface 103.6 on the blocking counter surface 67.2 of the blocking projection 67. The linear damper 60 is not adjusted by appropriately acting restoring forces with the furniture hinge 1 open in its ejected position. Thus, the slope 62 of the cylinder 61 is not inserted into the centering region 31 of the hinge cup 30 and thus the travel of the articulated lever 43 shown in Figure 14. When closing the furniture hinge 1, the articulated lever 3 40 is thus not on the linear damper 60 over its entire operating range. The closing movement of the furniture hinge 1 is therefore not damped by the linear damper 60. The blocking surface 103.6 and the blocking mating surface 67.2 are aligned transversely to the direction of movement of the linear damper 60. By aligning the axis of rotation of the locking element 100 in the direction of movement of the linear damper 60, an adjustment of the locking bar 103.3 in the plane of the blocking surface 103.6 and the blocking mating surface 67.2. Through the towards the pushed out Position of the linear damper 60 acting on the cylinder 61 restoring forces is thus not transmitted in the adjustment direction of the locking bar 103.3 force component on this. The restoring forces can thus be selected arbitrarily large depending on the load capacity of the locking bolt 103.3 and the blocking projection 67, without thereby the blocking element 100 is inadvertently adjusted by its blocking switching position 102.7 in its damping switching position 102.8.

By manually adjusting the locking element 100 from its blocking switching position 102.7 in its damping switching position 102.8 of the locking bar 103.3 is pivoted out of the travel of the blocking projection 67. As a result, the blocking projection 67 and thus the cylinder 61 of the linear damper 60 are released. The cylinder 61 can be adjusted so with the furniture hinge 1 open by the acting restoring forces in its extended position. As a result, the bevel 62 of the cylinder 61 is inserted into the centering region 31 of the hinge cup 30 and thus the travel of the articulated lever 43 (see FIG. 14). When closing the furniture hinge 1, the articulated lever 43 presses in its last movement section against the slope 62 of the linear damper 60 and pushes it together. As a result, the closing movement of the furniture hinge 1 and thus the furniture door 5, flap or the like is damped.

Assembled, an adjustment of the locking element 100 can only be done with the furniture door 5 open, flap or the like. Starting from a damping switching position 102.8 of the blocking element 100, the cylinder 61 is initially arranged in its extended position. When switching the blocking element 100 from its damping switching position 102.8 in its blocking switching position 102.7 of the locking bar 103.3 is pivoted on the blocking counter surface 67.2 opposite side of the blocking projection 67 in its travel. Thus, the run-on slope 103.4 of the locking bolt 103.3 and the approach slope 67.1 of the blocking projection 67 are opposite. When closing the furniture hinge 1, the cylinder 61 of the linear damper 60 is pushed into its inserted position. In this case, the blocking projection 67 slides past the stop bevel 67.1 and the run-on bevel 103.4 past the locking bar 103.3. The locking bar 103.3 is designed to be correspondingly elastic, so that it can be moved by the passing sliding blocking approach 67 by the required distance. Upon reaching the inserted end position of the cylinder 61, the adjusted elastic locking bolt 103.3 then back to its tension-free position, so that the blocking surface 103.6 and the blocking counter surface 67.2 face each other.
