EP3707331B1 - Side wall of a body of a piece of furniture with a wing fitting and piece of furniture comprising a side wall - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a side wall for a furniture body with a flap fitting for a piece of furniture, having a lever system with a door bearing lever, an adjustment device and a mounting plate to which a flap of the piece of furniture can be attached. The adjustment device allows a lateral adjustment and an adjustment of the inclination of the mounting plate in relation to the door bearing lever. The flap fitting has a housing with two parallel side plates arranged at a distance from one another, the lever system with the door bearing lever and the adjusting device being retracted between the side plates when the flap fitting is in a closed position. The invention also relates to a piece of furniture with a side wall.

Furniture, in particular kitchen furniture such as base cabinets or hanging cabinets, generally has a furniture body which is open towards the front and on which movable furniture parts guided by fittings are mounted. In the case of hanging cabinets in particular, flaps are often used as movable furniture parts to close the furniture body, which flaps are mounted via at least one or, as a rule, two laterally arranged flap fittings. The flap fittings enable the flap to be opened upwards (pivoted up) about an imaginary horizontally running pivot axis arranged in the upper region of the furniture body.

The lever system of the flap fitting is usually designed in several parts as a multi-joint lever system, so that the so-called door bearing lever, to which the flap is attached - possibly indirectly via a mounting plate - performs a combined pivoting and sliding movement or a pivoting movement around a pivot point. which is outside of the flap fitting and usually also outside of the furniture body.

A flap fitting of the type mentioned is from the publication EP 1 990 493 B1 known. In this flap fitting, an adjusting device is arranged between the door bearing lever and a mounting plate connected to the flap, which allows the mounting plate to be adjusted relative to the door bearing lever in order to compensate for installation and production tolerances of the furniture body or the flap fitting or the flap in such a way that the flap is closed State rests against the furniture body and the Flap compared to the flaps, doors or sliding elements of adjacent pieces of furniture has a uniform gap.

For this purpose, the adjustment device has two adjustment plates which are located between the mounting plate and the door bearing lever and are arranged one above the other. An inclination adjustment is achieved in that one of the adjustment plates can be tilted relative to the door bearing lever. Lateral adjustment is made possible by the two adjustment plates being mounted such that they can be displaced in relation to one another. The lateral adjustment can take place in two directions that are preferably perpendicular to one another. In relation to a flap mounted vertically (in the closed position), the lateral adjustment then serves to correct the side and/or height.

In particular, however, the lateral displaceability of the two adjustment plates relative to one another is associated with a large lateral space requirement for the two adjustment plates. According to the pamphlet EP 1 990 491 B1 the flap fitting is attached to an inside of the furniture body and thus protrudes into the interior of the furniture body. Accordingly, there is sufficient space for both the flap fitting itself and its adjustment device. Apart from optical aspects, the adjusting device is not subject to any size restrictions.

The writings CN 104 912 421 A and DE 10 2006 044 873 A1 each describe a fitting that is placed on the inside of a side wall and thus protrudes into the interior of the furniture body. Similarly, a flap fitting according to the publication WO 2017/029199 A1 mounted on a side wall on the inside and is then covered by another wall that is placed in front on the inside.

The pamphlet WO2007/132290 A1 describes a composite wall of a furniture carcass, which is created in that a flap fitting extending over the entire height of the side wall is placed in front of a side panel made of wood or a wood-based material. In this way, even a large flap fitting can be used without the fitting being placed on the side wall and protruding into the interior of the furniture body. Due to the fact that the flap fitting is in front of the side panel on the front side, the side surface does not have a uniform character visually and/or haptically.

Finally, the pre-announced but post-published paper shows WO 2018/158153 A1 a flap fitting integrated into a side wall, which, however, has no adjustment device.

It is an object of the present invention to create a side wall with a flap fitting in which an adjustment device for lateral and inclination adjustment of the furniture flap can also be carried out on the flap fitting integrated or used in the side wall of the furniture. A further object is to create a piece of furniture with such a flap fitting and its advantages.

This problem is solved by a side wall or a piece of furniture with the features of claims 1 and 24, respectively.

Advantageous refinements and developments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

A side wall according to the invention with a flap fitting of the type mentioned at the beginning is characterized in that the side plates of the housing of the flap fitting have an internal spacing that is greater than the width of the adjustment device and less than 16 millimeters (mm) and that in a front end face of the side wall an opening is formed through which the lever mechanism of the flap fitting extends, the flap fitting being inserted either through the opening into a pocket formed behind this in the side wall or through a pocket which is introduced from a side surface and has the opening on the end face , is inserted laterally.

A flap fitting with the stated width is suitable for use or for integration in a furniture board of a thickness that is used for side walls of furniture bodies. According to the invention, the adjusting device is further designed and arranged on the lever system in such a way that it can move in between the side plates of the housing of the flap fitting. As a result, the flap fitting can be incorporated into the side wall of the furniture body or into one incorporated from the end face of the side wall Pocket are used in the side wall without an additional cut provided in the front edge of the side wall of the furniture body must be, which accommodates the adjusting device in the closed state of the flap. This creates a flap fitting that is easy to assemble and at the same time does not impair the appearance of the furniture carcass when open, and that does not have to do without a convenient adjustment option for the lateral position (height and/or side position of the flap) and the angle of inclination.

In an advantageous embodiment of the side wall, the adjusting device of the flap fitting comprises a U-shaped outer profile, in which an intermediate piece is mounted so that it can be displaced longitudinally and pivoted. The U-shaped outer profile is preferably formed in one piece with the door bearing lever and is provided with a slot through which a bolt which is fastened in legs of the U-shaped outer profile runs.

A longitudinal adjustment eccentric for the longitudinal displacement of the intermediate piece relative to the outer profile is further preferably arranged in the outer profile. The longitudinal adjustment eccentric is rotatably mounted in the outer profile, for example, and engages with a driver pin positioned eccentrically on the head in a transverse coupling slot of the intermediate piece.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, an inclination adjustment screw for adjusting the inclination of the intermediate piece relative to the outer profile is arranged in the outer profile. The inclination adjustment screw is preferably screwed with an external thread into an internal thread of a receptacle on the outer profile, with a groove being formed on a shank of the inclination adjustment screw, which engages in a receptacle of the intermediate piece in such a way that the inclination adjustment screw is rotatably and longitudinally displaceably coupled to the intermediate piece. More preferably, the tilt adjustment screw is rotatably mounted in the outer profile and engages with an external thread directly or via a threaded sleeve with a groove in a receptacle of the adapter such that the tilt adjustment screw is coupled to the adapter in a longitudinally displaceable manner.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, the adjusting device of the flap fitting comprises a U-shaped mounting profile which is mounted on the mounting plate so that it can be displaced in a transverse direction. The mounting profile preferably rests with a base on the mounting plate, with the intermediate piece being positioned at least partially between the legs of the mounting profile.

More preferably, the legs of the mounting profile have recesses, with sections of the intermediate piece being positioned in the recesses. The sections of the intermediate piece positioned in the recesses can be flush with the outside of the legs of the mounting profile. In this way, in the areas of the recesses, the intermediate piece can be wider by the side wall thickness of the mounting profile than in other areas, without the intermediate piece protruding laterally beyond the outer dimensions of the mounting profile. The intermediate piece is therefore not completely covered by the mounting profile, but only in certain areas, which can be narrower than other areas due to the design. In this way, the overall width of the mounting profile and the intermediate piece is as small as possible, which contributes to the adjustment device being able to move in between the side plates of a housing of the flap fitting, even with a narrow flap fitting that can be inserted or integrated into a side wall of a furniture body

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, a lateral adjustment eccentric for lateral adjustment of the assembly profile relative to the assembly plate is arranged in the assembly profile. The side adjustment eccentric with a round head is preferably arranged with a precise fit between the legs of the mounting profile and engages in a coupling bore of the driver plate with a driver pin positioned eccentrically on the head. In this way, a very compact side adjustment for the mounting plate and thus an attached flap is realized.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, the mounting profile has slots in its legs which are open on one side and with which it is placed on the bolt. The intermediate piece preferably has a displaceable locking slide on its end opposite the bolt, which interacts with the mounting profile, e.g. by a locking lug being formed on the mounting profile, which the locking slide engages behind. The flap with the mounting plate attached to it can thus be easily removed from the flap fitting and reassembled.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, the adjusting device of the flap fitting has operable adjusting means which can be actuated from one side of the adjusting device. Adjustment means in this sense are, for example, the previously mentioned inclination adjustment screw Longitudinal adjustment eccentric and/or side adjustment eccentric. The adjusting means are preferably not accessible in the closed position of the flap fitting and therefore cannot be operated.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, articulation axes of the lever system of the flap fitting, which are mounted on the door bearing lever, are covered by the side plates when the flap fitting is in the closed state. The door bearing lever preferably has a support section on which the adjusting means are accessible and the support section is covered by the side plates when the flap fitting is in the closed state.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the side wall, the side plates of the flap fitting have an inner distance of less than 14 mm.

A piece of furniture according to the invention with a furniture body and a guided flap is characterized by a furniture body with at least one such side wall with an inserted or integrated flap fitting. The advantages mentioned in connection with the side wall result. In particular, a piece of furniture can be provided with a guided flap, the interior space of which can be used in its entirety, which can be designed freely and which is visually appealing.

In the Fig. 1a and 1b and 2a and 2b is a first embodiment of a flap fitting 1 in a closed position ( Fig. 1a , 1b ) and a fully open position ( Figure 2a , 2 B ) of a flap guided by the flap fitting and not shown here. The Fig.1a and 2a show the flap fitting in an isometric representation and the Fig. 1b and 2b in a side view.

In the description, terms such as top, bottom, left, right refer exclusively to the exemplary representation selected in the respective figures. The terms front and rear are usually related to an opening movement of the guided flap. The front side is a side facing the user.

A housing 10 of the flap fitting is shown open on one side in order to be able to show the internal structure of the flap fitting 1 . In all figures, the same reference numbers denote the same elements. For reasons of clarity, not every element in all figures is provided with a reference number in the figures.

The housing 10 is formed here from two side plates 11, of which only the rear one is shown in the figures, which are spaced apart from one another and aligned parallel to one another by a partially circumferential frame 12. Passing through the side plates 11 and the frame 12 are a plurality of rivets 13 (see Fig. Figure 3a , 3b ), with which the housing 10 and thus the flap fitting 1 is held together. Instead of the rivets 13, other fastening means such as screws can also be used. In the case of the flap fitting 1 shown, all other components are fastened to the side plates 11, for example also with rivets or bolts which pass through one or both of the side plates 11.

The flap fitting 1 has a lever mechanism 20 with five levers or arms, which are connected to one another or to the housing 10 at seven pivot points. The flap fitting 1 is thus designed as a seven-bar hinge. The lever mechanism 20 includes a door bearing lever 21 as the outermost member of the lever mechanism 20, which has an adjusting device 30 with a mounting plate 31 is connected. The flap to be guided by the flap fitting 1 is mounted on this mounting plate 31 . The adjustment device 30, which is shown in more detail in the following figures, enables an adjustment movement of the mounting plate 31 and thus of the guided flap in relation to the door bearing lever 21.

The door bearing lever 21 is on the in the Fig. 1a , 1b upper hinge point with a transmission lever 22 rotatably connected. The door bearing lever 21 is connected to a deflection lever 23 at a lower articulation point in the figures. The deflection lever 23 and the transmission lever 22 are in turn articulated on a control lever 24 . The transmission lever 22 is connected at its rear end to a support arm 25, the support arm in turn being rotatably mounted on the housing 10. This lever system 20 thus results in a seven-link chain.

How from the Figure 2a and 2 B As can be seen, the individual levers or arms of the lever mechanism 20 are shaped in such a way that they form an approximately straight arrangement when the flap is in the open position. During the opening and closing process, the outer element of the lever system 20, the door bearing lever 21, performs a combined rotational and translational movement, through which an attached flap is not only pivoted, but is also moved forward in such a way that its edge over an upper Body edge can be guided. In this way, for example, the entire opening of the furniture body is accessible.

The flap fitting 1 further comprises a spring unit 40 which, under the action of spring force, holds the flap both in the closed and in the fully open state. In particular, in the fully open state, the spring unit 40 is able to compensate for the weight of the flap, so that it remains in the open position without an additional locking lever.

The spring unit 40 comprises a spring assembly 41 with a plurality of compression springs 411. A side of the spring assembly 41 on the right in the figures is mounted on a spindle unit 42 so that its position can be adjusted. A side of the spring assembly 41 on the left in the figures acts on a shorter end of an angled intermediate lever 43 which is designed as a two-sided lever and is pivotably attached to the housing 10 . A pressure roller 431 which acts on a control section 221 of the transmission lever 22 is attached to the end of the second, free lever arm of the intermediate lever 43 .

At its edge, the control section 221 runs in the shape of a dome with a rising (left-hand side of the control section 221 in the figures) and a falling flank (right-hand side of the control section 221 in the figures). When the pressure roller 431 abuts the falling edge, pressure from the pressure roller 431 tends to move the linkage 20 toward the closed position. The attached flap is pressed shut or kept closed accordingly. A dead center is passed during the opening movement when the pressure roller is just on the crest of the control section 221 . In the further course of the opening movement, the pressure roller 431 rests against the rising edge of the cam, with the pressure of the pressure roller 431 causing the lever system 20 to move further in the direction of the open position. The opening movement is supported accordingly and the flap is held in the open position.

The suspension point of the spring assembly 41 can be moved by means of the spindle unit 42 and the prestressing of the compression springs 411 can thus be varied in order to adapt the pressing force of the pressure roller 431 to the weight and size of the flap.

A damping unit 50 is also provided, in this case a linear damper working as a pressure damper, against which a section of the transmission lever 22, here specifically a part of the control section 221 of the transmission lever 22, moves in order to decelerate the lever mechanism 20 when it approaches the closed state.

In principle, the damping unit 50 could also be arranged elsewhere within the housing 10 and act on another lever or arm of the lever mechanism 20 in order to slow down and thereby dampen the approach of the flap to one of the end positions (closed/open). In a further development, two independent damping units 50 can also be provided, one of which carries out a closing damping and the other an opening damping.

In the Figure 3a and 3b 13 is an isometric view of the flap fitting of FIG 1a to 2b with the housing 10 closed, ie reproduced with the second side plate 11 fitted. The Figure 3a shows the flap fitting in a closed state of an attached flap that is not visible here and the Figure 3b a partially open state, with the opening angle being about 10 degrees.

The housing 10 is closed in the area of the frame 12 by the rivets 13 already mentioned above. It goes without saying that instead of the rivets 13, other connecting elements can be used to close the housing 10, for example screws. Alternatively, the housing can also be closed by means of an adhesive connection between the side plates 11 and the frame 12 .

Additional rivets 14 are used to mount hinge axes or other components of the flap fitting 13 on one or preferably both side plates 11. These additional rivets 14 also close the housing 10, serve as spacers for the side plates and thus stabilize the housing 10.

especially the Figure 3a shows that when the flap fitting 1 is in the closed position, the entire lever system 20 including the adjusting device 30 moves between the side plates 1.

In 4 is shown a side wall 2 of a furniture body, not shown, in which a flap fitting according to the application 1, for example as in the Figures 1a to 3b shown is integrated. A furniture body generally has at least two such side walls 2, with a corresponding flap fitting 1 according to the application being integrated in both. The two - or possibly further flap fittings 1, which are integrated in partitions of the furniture body - wear a furniture body closing the front flap.

In a front face 3 of the side wall 2 there is an opening 4 through which the lever mechanism 20 of the flap fitting 1 extends. The flap fitting 1 is either inserted through the opening 4 into a pocket formed behind this in the side wall 2 or inserted laterally through a pocket which is introduced from a side surface 5 and has an opening 4 on the end face 3 . In all cases, the flap fitting 1 is integrated into the side wall 2, with at least in the first case the flap fitting 1 being covered on its sides by side surfaces 5 of the side wall 2 and therefore being visible neither from the outside nor from the inside of the furniture body. It is essential here that the flap fitting 1 and the side wall 2 form a unit and that the side wall 2 with the flap fitting used has no or almost no difference in thickness.

In order to be integrated into the side wall 2 of the furniture body, the thickness of the flap fitting 1, ie the outer spacing of the side plates 11, is severely restricted by specifications relating to the wall thickness of the furniture body. With conventional side walls of furniture bodies with a thickness of 16 millimeters (mm), the thickness of the flap fitting is necessarily less than 16 mm and is preferably less than or equal to 14 mm. Correspondingly, the lever system 20 including the adjusting device 30 is provided with a mounting profile 32 (cf. 6 ) designed so that it can be retracted between the two side plates 11, which have this distance.

figure 5 shows the door bearing lever 21 with the adjustment device 30 separately from other components of the flap fitting in an isometric exploded view.

The door bearing lever 21 has an articulated section 211 in which the articulation points of the lever mechanism 2 and the seven-bar hinge formed thereby are arranged in bearing bores 212 . The joint section 211 is followed by a U-shaped support section 213 to which the mounting plate 31 is adjustably connected and which is therefore already part of the adjustment device 30 . The door bearing lever 21 is preferably designed as a stamped and bent part. The U-shaped support arm section 213 is also referred to below as the outer profile 213 of the adjustment device 30 .

An intermediate piece 34 of the adjusting device 30 is inserted into the outer profile 213 . The intermediate piece 34 is preferably a molded part, for example produced in a metal casting process. The intermediate piece 34 has at its front end facing away from the joint section 211 of the door bearing lever 21 an elongated hole 341 through which a bolt 219 is guided, which is fixed in bores 218 in the legs of the outer profile 213 . The intermediate piece 34 is narrower than the inner distance between the two legs of the outer profile 213, so that lateral movement is possible. The intermediate piece 34 can also be moved in the longitudinal direction within the outer profile 213 through the elongated hole 341 . With a flap attached, such a movement in the longitudinal direction corresponds to a height adjustment of the flap in the closed state.

A second bearing point for the intermediate piece 34 in the outer profile 213 is provided by an inclination adjustment screw 37 . In the exemplary embodiment shown, the inclination adjustment screw 37 is provided with an external thread at its head and is screwed into a corresponding receptacle 216 on the external profile 213 . In the exemplary embodiment, the receptacle 216 is correspondingly equipped with an internal thread. At its lower end, which leads when screwing in, the inclination adjusting screw 37 is provided with a circumferential groove 371 which engages in a correspondingly shaped coupling section 346 on the intermediate piece 34 . The coupling section 346 is designed in the manner of a keyhole receptacle, so that when the intermediate piece 34 is in the appropriate position, it can be placed on the inclination adjustment screw 37 and, after being pushed back, lateral webs on the coupling section 346 are positioned in the groove 371 of the inclination adjustment screw 37 . When assembling, this connection is first established and then the bolt 219 is inserted through the elongated hole 341 and the rivet hole 218 . After assembly, the intermediate piece 34 can be varied in its height within the U-shaped outer profile 213 in the rear region by turning the adjusting screw 37 . The inclination adjustment screw 37 can be subjected to frictional force in its bearing, so that an unintentional adjustment is avoided and self-locking is provided. Since the front end is fixed in terms of its height within the U-shaped outer profile 213 by the bolt 219 or the slot 341, an inclination of the intermediate piece 34 relative to the door bearing lever 21 is achieved accordingly by turning the inclination adjustment screw.

In the front area of the intermediate piece 34 there is also a coupling section 344 for a height adjustment. This coupling section 344 has a slot which is aligned transversely in the intermediate piece 34 and into which an eccentrically arranged driver pin of a longitudinal adjustment eccentric 36 engages. The longitudinal adjustment eccentric 36 is rotatably mounted in a corresponding receptacle 214 on the outer profile 213. The longitudinal adjustment eccentric 36 is designed, for example, as a wobble rivet and is deformed when inserted into the receptacle 214 in such a way that it is rotatably mounted with a certain frictional connection for self-locking in the outer profile 213. Twisting the longitudinal adjustment eccentric 36 leads to a longitudinal movement of the intermediate piece 34 within the outer profile 213, with which, as already explained, a height adjustment of an attached flap is connected.

At the rear end of the intermediate piece 34, another slot 342 is formed, through which a bolt 351 is guided. A latching slide 35 bent in a substantially U-shape is also mounted on the intermediate piece 34 on the bolt, which encloses the intermediate piece 34 from above and on the sides in the rear area. At least one spring 352 is also arranged in elongated hole 342, in this case two springs 352, for example. Springs 352 are designed as compression springs and act on the edge of the elongated hole and on bolt 351. They push locking slide 35 toward the front end of intermediate piece 34. The locking slide 35, the function of which will be explained below, is accessible through an access opening 217 in the outer profile 213 and can be pushed back using an appropriate tool, for example a screwdriver.

The intermediate piece 34 with the locking slide 35 forms a coherent unit together with the door bearing lever 21 . A second unit is formed by the mounting plate 31 and a mounting profile 32 connected thereto. This unit is screwed onto the flap to be moved. The flap with the screwed-on mounting plate 31 or the mounting profile 32 can then be attached to the door bearing lever 21 in a simple and convenient manner and locked with it. The locked state of the unit from the mounting plate 31 and mounting profile 32 with the door bearing lever 21 and the intermediate piece 34 is in the 6 shown. This figure shows an isometric view of the assembled units, with the outer profile 213 shown in partial section to illustrate the connection of the two units. The 7 shows the process of connecting the two units in an intermediate stage in a side view, in which the outer profile 213 is also shown partially in section.

The construction and functioning of the second unit of mounting plate 31 and mounting profile 32 is in turn good in the exploded view figure 5 seen in the lower part of the figure.

In the present case, the mounting plate 31 is constructed in two parts and comprises a mounting rail 311 and an intermediate layer 316 that is shown here and is in principle optional. The intermediate layer 316 is made of a plastic, for example, and is used in particular for flaps made of glass. It then prevents direct contact between the mounting rail 311, which is generally made of metal, and the glass. Especially with flaps out Wood-based materials, it is also conceivable to place the mounting rail 311 directly without the intermediate layer 316.

Through the mounting rail 311 and intermediate layer 316 lead mounting holes 312, with which the mounting plate 31 is screwed to the corresponding flap. The above-mentioned mounting profile 32 is placed on the mounting plate 31 and is preferably in turn manufactured as a stamped and bent part with a U-shaped profile, with a base of the U-shaped mounting profile 32 resting on the mounting plate 31 and two legs of the same shape protruding perpendicularly from the mounting plate 31 . The mounting profile 32 is fastened to the mounting plate 31, in particular to the mounting rail 311, with the aid of hammer rivets 315. The hammer rivets 315 are guided in the mounting profile 32 through slots running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the mounting profile 32, so that the mounting profile 32 can be displaced transversely on the mounting plate 31.

In order to guide this transverse movement and to force a parallel movement of the mounting profile 32 relative to the mounting plate 31, the mounting plate 31 has transverse guide profiles 313, in which correspondingly pronounced webs on the underside of the mounting profile 32 move.

The two legs of the mounting profile 32 are provided with outwardly open longitudinal slots 321 in their lower end (again in relation to the orientation when mounting on a vertical flap). With these longitudinal slots 321, the mounting profile 32 is placed on the bolt 219, the intermediate piece 34 being encompassed by the legs of the mounting profile 32.

The placement of the mounting profile 32 on the bolt 219 is in the 7 to recognize. After placement, the upper side (again related to the assembly situation) of the assembly profile 32 is pivoted in, with latching lugs 322 formed on this side latching behind the latching slide 35 (cf. 6 ). A correspondingly prepared flap is thus mounted on the door bearing lever 21 and thus on the furniture body by simply hanging it in and pivoting it in. For disassembly, the locking slide 35 can be pushed back through the access opening 217 with a suitable tool, whereby the locking with the locking lugs 322 is released and the mounting profile 32 and thus the mounting plate 31 or the flap can be swung out and removed.

In this sense, the mounting plate 31 forms part of the flap, whereas the mounting profile 32 is assigned to the adjustment device 30 . When the flap is closed, the adjusting device 30 moves between the side plates 11 of the flap fitting 1 . The mounting plate 31 is in front of the side plates 11. When using the flap fitting 1 in a side wall 2 of a furniture body (as in 4 shown), a part of the mounting plate 31 can still be located in the area of the side wall 2, for example between edging or edging, which are applied to the end face 3 next to the opening 4. Any remaining structural height of the mounting plate 31 is less than one or a few millimeters and is therefore in the range of the gap dimensions between the end face 3 and the flap in the closed state.

When the second unit (mounting profile 32 and mounting plate 31) is swiveled in, protruding drivers 323 of the mounting profile 32 engage in the driver section 343 provided for this purpose on the intermediate piece 34, as a result of which the longitudinal position of the mounting profile 32 relative to the intermediate piece 34 is fixed. A longitudinal adjustment of the intermediate piece 34 within the outer profile 213 is thus transferred to the assembly profile 32 . Furthermore, due to the locking of the mounting profile 32 on the locking slide 35, the alignment of the mounting plate 32 relative to the intermediate piece 34 is fixed, so that an inclination adjustment of the intermediate piece 34 is transferred to the second unit.

As mentioned, the mounting profile 32 encloses the intermediate piece 34 with its limbs. The intermediate piece 34 has areas in which it is wider than in other areas. These areas are the coupling section 344 for height adjustment and the opening 345 for side adjustment. In these areas, the U-shaped mounting profile 32 has recesses 324, 325 in the side legs, so that the areas mentioned can be wider by the side wall thickness of the mounting profile 32 than other areas of the intermediate piece 34, without the intermediate piece 34 laterally exceeding the outer dimensions of the mounting profile 32 protrudes. The intermediate piece 34 is therefore not completely surrounded by the mounting profile 32, but only in certain areas, which can be narrower than other areas due to the construction. In this way, the overall width of the mounting profile 32 and the intermediate piece 34 is as small as possible. In the opening 345, a head of a lateral adjustment eccentric 33 is positioned, which has an eccentric driver pin which is inserted into a coupling bore 314 on the mounting plate 31 engages. The base of the mounting profile 32 is recessed in this area by appropriate punching.

The head of the side adjustment eccentric 33 moves with a precise fit between the legs of the mounting profile 32 or between the side walls of the intermediate piece 34 in the area of the opening 345. When the side adjustment eccentric 33 is turned, the head pushes the mounting profile 32 to one side or the mounting plate 21 with its eccentric movement other side. The Seitenverstellexzenter 33 moves with its center in the longitudinal direction of the mounting profile 32. Since both the breakthrough 345 and the slot 215 are formed in the door bearing lever 21 for the side adjustment accordingly, a tool such. B. a screwdriver, with which the side adjustment eccentric is adjusted, follow this longitudinal movement. As a result, the mounting plate 31 is moved back and forth laterally by turning the lateral adjustment eccentric 33, as a result of which the attached flap can be laterally adjusted. In order to keep the side adjustment eccentric 33 in the area of the opening 345, it is preferably wobbled or riveted to the mounting plate 31.

Taken together, the adjustment device 30 shown enables a lateral adjustment (lateral and vertical adjustment independently of one another) and an inclination adjustment of an attached flap. In addition, the flap with a mounted part of the flap fitting can be easily separated from the remaining part of the flap fitting, which simplifies the assembly of the flap on the flap fitting 1 and the furniture body.

In the Fig. 8a-c , 9 a.c and 10 a.c the function of the adjustment device 30 is shown again by different positions of the longitudinal adjustment, ie a height adjustment of an attached flap, in Fig. 8ac , the tilt adjustment in Fig. 9ac and the lateral adjustment in Fig. 10ac are reproduced. In the figures with the index a, a middle position is shown in each case, in the figures with the index b and c, respectively, one or the other setting in opposite directions of adjustment. In each of the figures, a side view is shown in the upper part of the figure, the outer profile 213 being shown in section in order to be able to show the arrangement of the mounting profile 32 or the intermediate piece 34 within the outer profile 213 . In the lower part of the figure Fig. 8ac and 9 a.c a sectional view along a center plane of the arrangement is shown. In the Fig. 10ac a top view of the arrangement is shown in each case.

In the 11 and 12 the composite first and second units, ie door bearing lever 21 with intermediate piece 34 and attached mounting plate 31 with mounting profile 32 of flap fittings are shown in two further exemplary embodiments. The exemplary embodiments differ from the example described so far in the implementation of the tilt adjustment. Again, an inclination adjustment screw 37 is provided, which is arranged in a corresponding receptacle 216 of the outer profile 213 and the rotation of which leads to an angular adjustment between this outer profile 213 and the intermediate piece 34 . Both figures are in turn sections through the units along a central plane.

In the exemplary embodiment described above, an adjustment of the inclination leads to the inclination adjustment screw 37 being screwed in or out in relation to the outer profile 213 (cf. e.g. Fig. 9ac ). In the embodiments of 11 and 12 the head of the inclination adjustment screw 37 remains flush with the upper side of the outer profile 213, regardless of its setting.

According to the embodiment of 11 This is achieved in that the height adjustment screw 37 is not screwed into a thread of the outer profile 213 with an external thread, but instead is rotatably mounted in the outer profile 213 with its head. This can be achieved by appropriate contact edges and shoulders on the head of the inclination adjustment screw 37.

It is also possible to mount the inclination adjustment screw in the outer profile 213 in the manner of a wobble rivet. In a shank area, the inclination adjustment screw 37 has an external thread 372 with a large pitch. With this external thread 372, the inclination adjusting screw 37 engages in the slot-shaped receptacle 346 designed as before. The receptacle 346 thus forms a type of thread into which the external thread 372 of the inclination adjustment screw 37 engages, with the receptacle 346 still being able to be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate piece 34 .

In the embodiment of 12 is the tilt adjustment screw 37 in two parts and includes a head part, which as in the embodiment of 11 is rotatably mounted in the outer profile 213. This can in turn be done by appropriate contact edges and / or a twist. The inclination adjustment screw 37 has a threaded sleeve as the second part 373, which is guided in the also slot-shaped receptacle 346 with lateral incisions to prevent it from rotating. In an upper section, the threaded sleeve 373 has an internal or external thread which interacts with a corresponding external or internal thread on the head of the inclination adjustment screw 37 . Turning the head of the pitch adjustment screw 37 moves the threaded sleeve 373 up and down, which in turn changes the pitch of the adapter 34 relative to the outer profile 213.

The lever mechanism 20 is here in this embodiment Figures 1 to 3 designed as a heptagonal joint. The design of the lever system 20 is of course dependent on the flap movement to be achieved, so that different flap movements can be achieved. Therefore, multi-armed or single-armed lever systems can be used. A four-bar arrangement, for example, is also possible as a multi-armed lever system. The lever system 20 can also include additional levers, which can be necessary, for example, in the case of a so-called folding flap fitting, in order to control the movement of the further flap panel.
