Description

State of the art

Devices are known for moving a piece of furniture that is held on a body of a piece of furniture. For this purpose, guide means of the device are provided with at least one swivel arm for swiveling the furniture part, with which the furniture part can be moved from a closed position to an open position of the furniture part relative to the furniture body and back when the device is installed.

Such a device has, for example, a base unit with a base plate on which the guide means act in such a way that a pivot axis about which the at least one pivot arm can be pivoted is transverse to a base plate plane spanned by the base plate. These devices are, for example, furniture fittings such as flap or top flap fittings. As a rule, the pivotable furniture part is accommodated on a furniture body via two comparable units of the movement device.

A disadvantage of this known device is that with regular use of the device, i.e. with regular opening and closing processes of the furniture flap, the orientation of the flap relative to the furniture body changes, so that the flap in the closed state is on the furniture body front and/or a front of the device , which forms a furniture carcass front when arranged on the furniture, pending. As a result, there is a risk of damage to the furniture carcass front and/or the device, for example the furniture carcass front and/or the device front can be scratched or bent as a result. This can also result in unwanted closing noises. The documents DE 20 2012 009218 U1 , WO 2011/020130 A1 and DE 20 2007 006690 U1 are relevant state-of-the-art documents.

Object and advantages of the invention

The object of the present invention is to improve a device for moving a furniture part that is movably accommodated on a furniture body, with guide means for pivoting the furniture part, in particular with regard to avoiding damage to the furniture body front and/or the device front and/or with regard to avoiding damage of closing noises.

This object is solved by the independent claims.

The dependent claims relate to advantageous and expedient developments of the invention.

The invention is based on a device for moving a furniture part accommodated on a furniture body of a piece of furniture, with guide means of the device being provided with at least one swivel arm for swiveling the furniture part, with which, when the device is mounted on the furniture, the furniture part can be moved from a closed position into an open position of the furniture part is movable relative to the furniture body and back, the device having a closed position, the device being in the closed position in the arranged state on the furniture in the closed position of the furniture, the guide means being connected via a mounting unit of the device to the furniture part can be connected, with the device having a base unit on which the guide means are movably arranged, with the base unit being able to be arranged on the furniture carcass and having a front section, with the front section forming a furniture carcass front section of a furniture carcass front in the arranged state of the base unit on the furniture carcass, which in the Closing position is opposite to the furniture part.

The device comprises the base unit on the carcass side, the guide means, in particular with a swivel arm arrangement, preferably with an energy store and/or a damper arrangement, and a mounting unit on the flap side. For example, the base unit comprises a base plate, e.g. with a base plate cover or a housing plate that can be placed on it. A cover such as a cover cap or cover plate can preferably be placed on the base plate cover, for example in the form of a counter plate. As a rule, there is also a front fitting cover on the base unit. Advantageously, the front fitting cover includes the front section.

In the case of larger furniture flaps to be moved, the components of the moving device must be designed to be sufficiently stable. For a high level of operating comfort, in particular a force support with the force accumulator for the opening movement or the damping arrangement for the damped closing movement of the furniture part is provided.

The cassette-shaped base unit according to the invention has at least one open narrow side between the base plate and the counter-plate. Through this open side, the swivel arm assembly reaches up to the movable furniture part on which the Swing arm assembly attacks on the assembly unit. Since the base unit can usually be attached to a furniture carcass side wall with its open narrow side in such a way that the narrow side forms a section of the front face of the furniture carcass, in particular a section of the furniture carcass front, the base unit is attached to the base unit, for example for optical reasons and to protect against If dirt enters the interior of the base unit, the end-face covering element is present on the base unit, the swivel arm reaching through an opening in the end-face covering element, through an opening in the end-face covering element.

The core of the invention can be seen in the fact that there is a spacer element on the front section, with a stop surface of the spacer element being spaced from a remaining side surface of the front section and with the stop surface of the spacer element forming a stop for the assembly unit in the closed position of the device. As a result, the assembly unit is present in the closed position at a distance from the remaining side surface of the end face, for example via a front gap, and in particular does not touch the remaining side surface of the end face. This advantageously prevents damage, for example scratching, to the remaining side surface of the end face. A front gap of the piece of furniture can also be adjusted by a suitable choice of the spacer element. The abutment surface of the spacer element is preferably spaced apart from the remaining side surface of the end section in a range between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, in particular in a range between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm. For example, the stop face of the spacer is 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm or 1mm from the remaining one Side surface of the front section spaced. Advantageously, the stop surface of the spacer element is spaced 0.4 mm from the remaining side surface of the end section. In particular, the abutment surface of the spacer element is raised in relation to the remaining side surface of the end section. The spacer element is preferably designed to be optically advantageous, for example as a logo. For example, the spacer element includes an imprint and/or an image, for example a logo, for example a company logo.

It is also proposed that the spacer element be designed to be elastic. The spacer element is advantageously present as a damping element, for example in the form of a damper. As a result, the spacer element dampens and/or prevents a closing noise, for example.

For example, the spacer element is designed in such a way that after deformation, e.g. during the closing process or in the closed position, e.g. by the assembly unit, the spacer element resumes its original shape, e.g. in the open position of the assembly unit. It is also conceivable that the spacer element is present in the form of a spring, e.g. in the form of a spring, e.g. as a compression spring. For example, the spacer element comprises a helical spring, a torsion spring and/or a leaf spring.

According to the invention, the end section is present as a screen element in the form of the end face covering element.

A front side of the assembly unit preferably touches in particular the assembly unit, in the closed position the end section and/or the side surface of the end section. For example, in the closed position of the device in the arranged state, e.g. in the closed position of the movable furniture part, the remaining side surface of the end section and/or the stop surface is aligned parallel or at least approximately parallel to an outside, e.g. a front side, and/or an inside of the furniture part available. Advantageously, the assembly unit of the device can be fastened to the inside of the furniture part, in particular in a cutout or recess, for example a depression in the inside of the furniture part.

It also proves advantageous that the end section has a recess into which the spacer element can be inserted. Advantageously, the recess in the end section is designed as an opening in the end section and/or the side surface. It is also advantageous that the recess is designed as a through-opening of the end section.

In an advantageous embodiment of the device, the base unit is designed in such a way that the spacer element can be inserted from behind in the direction of the side surface of the front section through the recess on the front section. For example, the spacer element reaches through the recess of the end section. As a result, an optical configuration of the end section can be changed in a comparatively flexible manner.

According to the invention, the spacer element is arranged on the base unit in a position that cannot be changed. It is conceivable that the spacer element is a component of the end section. It is conceivable that the end section and the spacer element are designed in one piece.

According to the invention, the spacer element is arranged on the end section. For example, the spacer element includes a mounting element which is designed to arrange the spacer element on the end section. For example, a mounting element is designed in the form of a projection which can be connected to the end section, for example. For example, a particularly further assembly element is present as an adhesive element, e.g. as an adhesive.

In an advantageous modification of the device, the spacer element is glued to the base unit by means of an adhesive element.

In addition, it is advantageous if the spacer element is made of a plastic. The spacer element is advantageously made from a PVC material, in particular from a PVC-P material. For example, the spacer element is made of a flexible, for example elastic plastic, for example rubber. It is also conceivable that the Stop surface of the spacer element is present as a layer of paint. It is also conceivable that the lacquer layer is designed to be elastic, in particular flexible.

It is also advantageous for the spacer element to be round or rectangular. For example, the spacer element is square. For example, the spacer element is cuboid or cube-like, e.g. in the form of a cuboid or cube. It is also conceivable that the spacer element is cylindrical, conical or pyramid-shaped.

For example, an edge length of a rectangular, in particular square spacer element is between 2mm and 20mm, e.g. between 2mm and 15mm, in particular between 2mm and 12mm. An edge length of a rectangular, in particular square spacer element is advantageously 2mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm or 12mm, in particular 3mm.

A radius of a round or cylindrical spacer element is advantageously between 1 mm and 10 mm, for example between 1 mm and 8 mm, in particular between 1 mm and 5 mm. A radius of a round or cylindrical spacer element is advantageously 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm or 5 mm, in particular 1.5 mm.

The stop surface of the spacer element is, for example, rectangular, square, round or in the form of a company logo. For example, the stop surface is designed as a free-form surface.

Advantageously, the stop surface of the spacer element comprises several, in particular different, stop surface sections.
