Description

The invention relates to a piece of furniture with at least one furniture body and at least one fitting for guiding a movable furniture part, the at least one fitting being a flap fitting that has a lever system that guides a flap or flap arrangement as a movable furniture part.

Furniture, in particular kitchen furniture such as lower, upper or wall cabinets, generally has a furniture body which is open towards the front and on which movable furniture parts guided by one or more fittings are mounted. The movably guided furniture parts can be, for example, drawers with a drawer front or doors or flaps that can be used individually or in different combinations in a piece of furniture. The present application relates in particular to furniture with fittings that lead doors or flaps as movable furniture parts. Doors and flaps can be in one piece or consist of several individual elements, such as a folding flap, in which various parts of the flap move relative to one another in the course of movement.

Door hinges, which are arranged on the side of the pivot axis between the furniture body and the door, are generally used to guide doors. A comparable arrangement of hinges can in principle also be used for flaps. These hinges are then arranged along an upper side edge of the flap. However, it is often desirable to open the flaps in a combined pivoting and sliding movement in order, for example in the case of a wall cabinet, to gain the greatest possible access to the interior of the cabinet without the flap having to be pivoted into a horizontal position in which it can be moved away from the wall user cannot be reached or can only be reached with difficulty to close. For this reason, special flap fittings have become established, which are not arranged along the pivot axis between the furniture body and the flap, but laterally on (usually both) side edges between the flap and the side wall of the furniture body.

Such door hinges or flap fittings for mounting on an inside of the side wall or side walls of the furniture body are known. However, the fittings unavoidably protrude into the interior of the furniture body, which on the one hand reduces the usable storage space inside the furniture body and on the other hand also impairs a subdivision or structuring of the interior of the furniture body.

In order to mount door hinges, it is known to mill a pocket into one end face of a side wall, into which pocket the door hinge can be inserted from the front. In this way, the inside of the side wall remains free. A hinge suitable for use in such a milled pocket is known, for example, from the publication UK 1559963 famous.

However, this procedure is only suitable for door hinges with a very small installation depth. This is due to the limited milling depth with which such a pocket can be economically milled from the front side into the side wall in the manufacturing process. The installation thickness of the door hinge used in such a milled pocket is also very limited since side walls in the furniture sector only have a wall thickness of around 16-20 mm (millimeters). During the milling process, a certain minimum wall thickness must remain on the side of the milled pockets, since a wall that is too thin would tear or break during the milling process or would be deformed in such a way that it no longer has a perfect surface.

Even the use of larger and more complex door hinges is not possible in this way. Flap hinges usually have a large installation depth of more than 10 or 15 cm (centimetres), which cannot be achieved by milling from the front side.

In addition, milling a pocket into which the fitting can be inserted presupposes that the material of the furniture body and its walls can be processed accordingly. This is basically the case, at least with sufficient wall thickness, for example with wood as the material of the furniture body. However, if less machinable materials, or those that cannot be machined at all, are to be used for the furniture body, such pockets cannot be milled in, or cannot be milled economically. Such materials are, for example, glass, stone or concrete.

A flap fitting is from the publication WO 2009/079671 A1 known, It has a housing in which mechanical and electrical components, such as a drive motor, are arranged. The housing can be placed on an inside of a side wall of a piece of furniture or partially embedded. A lever system for guiding a flap protrudes forward from the housing. Even if the housing is partially let into the side wall of the furniture body, the housing also protrudes like the lever system into the interior of the body, which hinders structuring of the interior of the furniture body.

In the pamphlet WO 2010/130570 A1 describes a furniture body whose side walls are constructed from profile elements in the manner of a truss.

A flap fitting is inserted into a cavity in the side wall. In addition, one of the profile elements is designed as a guide rail for guiding a storage element that can be moved vertically inside the furniture body. The construction of the side wall using load-bearing and interconnected profile elements also requires certain materials for the profile elements. Another well-known piece of furniture with integrated fittings is from WO2017029199A1 famous.

It is an object of the present invention to create a piece of furniture of the type mentioned at the outset, in which flaps, doors or other movable furniture parts can be arranged on a furniture body without the fittings used for this impeding structuring of the interior of the furniture body and without the Material selection for the furniture body is restricted.

This problem is solved by a piece of furniture with the features of the independent claim. Advantageous refinements and developments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

A piece of furniture according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the fitting is integrated into a plate-shaped composite element which is arranged inside the furniture body, which is aligned parallel to a wall of the at least one furniture body and is arranged inside the furniture body, with the lever mechanism completely, possibly except for mounting elements to which the movable furniture part is attached, can be moved into an opening in an end face of the composite element.

The fitting is therefore neither placed directly on the furniture body nor integrated into a side wall of the furniture body. Instead, the fitting is part of a panel-shaped composite element that is arranged inside the furniture body. The fitting integrated in the composite element is used to guide a movable furniture part, for example a door or a flap. The furniture body itself can thus be made independently of the fitting and also be made of materials that are difficult to process, such as glass or stone, or, for example, of concrete or another castable material be cast in one piece. Due to the fact that the plate-shaped composite element includes the fitting in an integrated manner and the fitting is not placed on the outside of the plate-shaped composite element, the composite element can itself have a homogeneous surface. Such a composite element is a visually appealing element in the furniture carcass and does not impair the interior either visually or with regard to the structuring options.

Within the scope of the application, the wall of the furniture body on which the composite element is placed can be arranged on each side of the furniture body, regardless of its orientation. In particular, the panel-shaped composite element can be arranged in any orientation within the furniture body, in particular vertically, horizontally or at an angle, for example diagonally in the furniture body.

In an advantageous embodiment of the piece of furniture, the panel-shaped composite element has lateral dimensions which essentially correspond to the dimensions of the wall inside the body of the piece of furniture. The composite element thus extends over the entire surface of the wall of the furniture body. The corresponding inner surface of the furniture body is thus completely covered by the Composite element formed. Despite the fitting, the piece of furniture has a uniform and therefore visually appealing interior view thanks to the composite element.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the piece of furniture, the composite element is arranged parallel to a wall of the furniture body. In this case, the wall can have any orientation, and can be, for example, a side wall or a top or bottom panel of the furniture body. In a first embodiment, the composite element rests against the wall of the furniture body. In this case the composite element appears as part of the wall of the furniture body without affecting the interior space. In particular, if the composite element is provided with a continuous cover layer facing the interior, it also does not stand in the way of the arrangement of structuring and/or organization elements in the interior due to a protruding fitting.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the composite element is arranged parallel to one of the walls but at a distance from this wall in the furniture body. The composite element thus provides the fittings required for guiding a door or flap and at the same time serves as an element for subdividing and thus structuring the interior of the furniture body. In this sense, it serves as a partition wall of the furniture body.

If the at least one panel-shaped composite element rests against the wall of the furniture body, it is preferably also connected to the wall, e.g. by means of connecting means such as bolts or the like, which interact with grooves or recesses. Alternatively or additionally, the panel-shaped composite element can be glued to the wall of the furniture body, in particular over the entire surface.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the piece of furniture, the composite element has at least one core which is arranged in one plane with the fitting, the at least one core and the fitting being arranged between two continuous cover layers. A composite element constructed in this way is distinguished by a consistently identical look and feel of its side surface. The core also offers a simple way of attaching the composite element to the furniture body. The core can, for example, be made of wood or a wood composite material such as MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) or HDF (High Density Fiberboard). Holes in the furniture body are screwed directly into this material.

Alternatively, inserts, e.g. threaded inserts, can be arranged in the core, into which the fastening screws are screwed. To save weight, sections of the core can also have a lightweight material, e.g. cardboard in a honeycomb structure.

The fitting is advantageously already integrated into the composite element when it is assembled. A large fitting with a large installation depth, which for example even extends over essentially the entire width of the composite element, can also be used. According to the invention, the flap fittings are used in such a way that their lever mechanism can be inserted completely (possibly except for assembly elements to which the movable furniture part is attached) into an opening in an end face of the composite element.

The two continuous cover layers are preferably connected over the entire area to the at least one core and/or the fitting, for example laminated on. The surface connection stabilizes the composite element and enables the use of relatively thin cover layers with thicknesses in the range of tenths of a millimeter.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the piece of furniture, at least one further composite element with an integrated fitting is arranged on the outside of at least one wall of the piece of furniture. The fitting integrated into the at least one further composite element is preferably positioned on a different side of the furniture body than the fitting integrated into the at least one composite element. In particular, the furniture body has two opposite open sides, with the fitting integrated into the at least one further composite element being positioned on one open side of the furniture body, and the fitting integrated into the at least one composite element on the opposite other side. In this way, for example, a cabinet can be constructed with an interior space that is closed with flaps on opposite sides. Due to the large installation depth of flap fittings, two flap fittings pointing to opposite sides cannot usually be arranged in one plane. The structure with two composite elements, which are arranged inside and outside on a side wall of the furniture body, represents a visually appealing solution.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the piece of furniture, a mounting element for wall attachment is integrated in the at least one composite element. In this embodiment, all functional elements are provided by the composite elements. The furniture body can be constructed accordingly reduced. The mounting element is preferably fastened to the fitting within the composite element, so that forces acting on the fitting can be effectively dissipated directly via the mounting element onto a building wall.

the Figures 1a-1c show in different isometric representations a first exemplary embodiment of a piece of furniture according to the application with a furniture body 10 and here two composite elements 20. A wall cupboard in a kitchen is shown as an example of furniture according to the application.

the Fig. 1a shows the composite elements 20 separately from the furniture body 10, for example before insertion. In Fig. 1b the composite elements 20 are inserted into the furniture body 10. In 1c finally, one of the composite elements 20 is shown twice, once before insertion into the furniture body and once inserted into the furniture body, the furniture body 10 being partially is shown transparently in order to clarify the arrangement of the composite element 20 within the furniture body 10 .

The furniture body 10 of the piece of furniture is made up of a bottom panel 11 , a top panel 12 and two side walls 13 and an optional rear wall 14 . The elements mentioned form a cuboid open to the front. The furniture body 10 can be made from known furniture panels, such as solid wood panels, coated fiberboard or chipboard or lightweight panels. Materials that are more difficult to process, such as glass, stone or metal, can also be used, in particular since the furniture body 10 does not have any complex mounts for fittings. Furthermore, the furniture body 10 can be cast from a castable material, for example concrete.

The furniture shown is one in the Figures 1a-1c not shown flap provided to close the front opening of the furniture body 10 can. The flap is guided by two fittings 30 which, according to the application, are each integrated in a composite element 20 . The two composite elements 20 rest against one of the side walls 13 of the furniture body 10 on the inside.

The furniture body 10 is supplemented by the fittings 30 by the composite elements 20 without the fittings 30 being screwed directly onto a wall of the furniture body, for example the side wall 13 . The composite element 20 is dimensioned in such a way that it covers the entire inside of the side wall 13 of the furniture carcass 10 . A uniform, consistently homogeneous impression of the interior of the furniture body 10 is created, since it only has smooth surfaces throughout.

In order to fasten the composite elements 20 to the respective side wall 13, connecting means which engage in one another are arranged on the side wall 13 or on an outwardly pointing side of the composite element 20. In the present case, these are two disc-like bolts 131 and 132 on the side wall 13 and a groove 231 and a recess 232 on the composite element 20. Further optional connecting elements are indicated in the form of bores 233 on the composite element 20.

When the composite element 20 is pushed in along the inner wall 13, the bolts 131, 132 engage in the groove 231 or the locking recess 232. The groove 231 and the recess 232 can be undercut so that the composite element 20 is held on the side wall 13 . When the composite element 20 is pushed in, the bolt 131 is positioned in the rear part of the groove 231 and the bolt 132 snaps into the recess 232 . The latching is achieved by the natural elasticity of the material, for example plastic, of the bolt 232 or by the elasticity of the transition area between the groove 231 and the recess 232.

Wall attachment means are preferably provided on a rear end face of the composite element 20, with which the piece of furniture can be hung on a building wall. The then existing balance of forces prevent the composite elements 20 from being pulled forward out of the furniture body 10 .

It is noted that an adhesive connection between the composite elements 20 and the side parts 13 can also be used as an alternative or in addition to the types of connection shown.

2 shows a possible structure of such a composite element 20 in an isometric exploded view and also illustrates its production.

The composite element 20 has a core 21, for example made from chipboard or a medium or high density fiberboard (MDF medium density fiberboard or HDF high density fiberboard). The fitting 30 is arranged in the same plane as the core 21 and preferably with the same thickness, such that the core 21 and the fitting 30 complement one another in shape and size such that together they essentially have the dimensions of the composite element 20 . In the example shown, the core 21 is in one piece and connects only below the fitting 30 . It can alternatively be provided to also arrange a further core element on other sides of the fitting 30, in particular on its upper side. Also, the core 21 may be C-shaped and abut the bracket 30 on three sides, i.e., all sides except the front.

The core 21 and the fitting 30 can be connected to one another via connecting elements (not shown here), for example screws, clamps, pins, staples or the like. An adhesive connection can also be used be provided with said connecting elements or as the only connection.

Cover layers 22, 23 are applied, in particular glued or laminated, to the arrangement of the core 21 and the fitting 30 that may be connected thereto, from each side. The fitting 30 is selected with regard to its material and the material thickness, for example of the side plates of the fitting 30, so that it is not dented even during a lamination process, which could lead to an unevenness of the surface of the cover layers 22, 23. Smaller bumps in the side plates of the fitting 30 are compensated by the cover layers 22, 23. Such smaller bumps can, for example, be caused by the bearing points of bolts that are used for the pivotable mounting of the lever mechanism 31 in the fitting 30 .

This in 2 The symbolized production process of the composite element 20, in which the core 21 and the fitting 30 are initially aligned to match one another and, if necessary, connected to one another and then combined with the cover layers 22, 23 to form the composite element 20, enables the use of a fitting 30, which is like shown, for example, over the entire width of the composite element 20 extends. In this way, larger and more complex fittings 30 can also be used in the composite element 20 than would be possible in a pocket milled out at the end of a side wall.

Alternative manufacturing methods for manufacturing a suitable composite member 20 may be employed. For example, it is conceivable to use a centrally divided core 21 for the composite element 20, which is divided in a parallel to the cover layers 22, 23 center plane of the composite element 20. A recess is introduced, e.g. milled out, into each half of the core 21 before assembly. The recesses of the two core halves then enclose an inserted fitting 30 from both sides.

A composite element 20 produced in this way can be cut to length in the area of the core, so that the composite element 20 can be adapted to the internal dimensions of the furniture body 10 .

In the composite element 20 of Fig. 1ac and 2 the top layer 22 is continuous, so that a uniform and smooth surface is formed toward the interior of the furniture body 10 . On the opposite top layer 23, the furniture of the Fig. 1a-c applied to the side walls 13, the connecting means are arranged to the furniture body. In the present case, the cover layer 23 is cut out in order to form the groove 231 and the recess 232 into which the groove 231 merges. In addition, it can be provided that the depth of the groove 231 or the recess 232 is not limited to the cover layer 23 but also extends deeper into the core 21 . In addition, the bores 233 are introduced, which can optionally also extend into the core 21 . It is also possible for only bores 233 to be provided for fastening.

In the Figures 3a-3c another exemplary embodiment of a piece of furniture with a furniture body 10 and composite elements 20 is shown. Again shows Figure 3a the furniture before inserting the composite elements 20, the Figure 3b the furniture with furniture body 10 and inserted composite elements 20 and the 3c the composite elements 20, some in incomplete form, before insertion into the furniture body 10 and in double already used in the furniture body 10. From the furniture body 10 is in the 3c one of the side walls 13 is also shown partially transparent in order to be able to better see the arrangement of the composite element 20 within the furniture body 10 . In these figures, the same reference symbols identify elements that are the same or have the same effect as in the previously described figures.

In contrast to the embodiment of Fig.1a-1c In this case, the piece of furniture is a cabinet element that is accessible from two sides.

In the Figures 3a-3c the furniture is shown from a back side. Unlike the example of Fig.1a-1c the furniture has no rear wall 14, but is open from the rear to the interior. This rear side can be closed by a flap 40', which is guided on the fittings 30' by a lever mechanism 31', which in the present case is integrated into composite elements 20'. These composite elements 20 ′ are placed on the side walls 13 of the furniture body 10 from the outside and are fastened to the side wall 13 . In the example shown, this is achieved using screws which are screwed through bores 133 in the side walls 13 into the composite element 20' placed on the outside. Alternatively, other connecting means can be used, for example tongue and groove or bolts, for example as shown in connection with the composite element 20 used on the inside.

After this is done, - as in the example Figures 1a to 1c - The composite elements 20 are inserted into the furniture body 10 and fixed there by the interaction of the bolts 131, 132 and the groove 231 or the recess 232. Unlike the embodiment of Figures 1a-1c only the two bolts 131, 132 have the same diameter here and not a different one, as in the first exemplary embodiment.

In the 3c an assembly element 24 can be seen clearly in the composite element 20 reproduced incompletely without a core 21 and without a cover layer 22 . This mounting element 24 can be used in a furniture body 10 whose interior is only accessible from one side (e.g. the furniture body 10 according to Figures 1a to 1c ) are used for wall mounting. The mounting element 24 is preferably (also) fastened to the fitting 30 so that forces acting on the fitting 30 can be effectively dissipated directly via the mounting element 24 onto the building wall.

In the embodiment of Figures 3a - 3c composite elements 20 ′ are arranged on the outside and composite elements 20 on the inside of the furniture body 10 . The composite elements 20, 20' can also both be arranged on the inside of the furniture body 10. In this case, for example, composite elements 20 are arranged on the side walls 13 and composite elements 20' on the composite elements 20.

4 shows another embodiment of a piece of furniture with a cuboid furniture body 10, in which two composite elements 20 with integrated fitting 30 are also provided. The fittings 30 carry a flap 40, which is explicitly shown here, via their lever system 31.

In the two exemplary embodiments described above, the composite elements 20 according to the application are fastened to side walls 13 of the furniture body 10 . In contrast, in the embodiment of 4 the composite elements 20 are also arranged parallel to the side walls 13, but at a distance from them. They thus form 10 vertical partitions for the furniture body. The two composite elements 20 with the integrated fittings 30 provide the fittings required for guiding the flap 40 for the furniture carcass 10 and at the same time structure its interior, here divided into three compartments by way of example.

The composite elements 20 can be fastened, for example, by means of screws 25 which pass through the underbody 11 and the top floor 12 on the face side are screwed into the composite elements 20. The side wall can also be attached to the body using standard furniture connection methods such as lens springs or dowels. Fastening elements that are previously fixed in the furniture body (T-shape) and onto which the side wall can be pushed later would also be conceivable.

the 4 shows a furniture body 10 that can be opened on one side. If the furniture body 10 is similar to that in Figures 3a - 3c Should be open from both sides, the embodiment of the 4 be extended by further composite elements 20, which are arranged in the other opening direction on the side wall 13. By arranging the composite elements 20 as partitions and on a side wall, an opening can be realized in both directions, which appears particularly narrow in appearance, since a combination of a plurality of composite elements 20 is not required.

figure 5 shows a front face 211 of a composite element 20 in the area of the fitting 30 in a top view.

In the area of the opening of the fitting 30, from which, for example, the lever mechanism 31, which is not visible in this illustration, extends, the edge banding 26 is recessed. The edge band 26 is applied to the front face 211 after the fitting 30 has been integrated into the composite element 20 or after the fitting 30 has been inserted into the composite element 20 .

The edge banding 26 is cut out in such a way that it partially rests on the fitting and, for example, covers the edges of the side plates 301 of the fitting 30 or other elements which are visible outside the opening of the fitting 30 . In the figure 5 the outlines of the fitting 30 are indicated by dashed lines. Due to the arrangement of the edge band 26 on sections of the fitting 30, the fitting 30--apart from the extendable lever mechanism 31--is fully integrated into the composite element 20 and is no longer visible on its front face 211.
