Description

Furniture fittings

The invention relates to a furniture fitting, in particular a hinge, preferably a flap holder, the furniture fitting having a kinematic arrangement with levers and joints, and by means of which a door or a flap can be moved from a closed position to an open position, with at least some of the joints and the lever forms an articulated chain which has at least one fixed articulation, the position of which remains unchanged when the articulated chain is adjusted, the articulated chain having a fastening lever which is directly or indirectly connected to the door or flap, and a holding device is provided, which acts on the link chain with at least one spring element.

From DE 10 2014 1 13 967 B4 a flap holder is known which has an articulated chain. The articulated chain is used to adjust an articulated lever to which a flap is pivotably attached. The flap can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position by means of the link chain. Link chains with five or seven joints are common for flap holders. Such link chains can be used in the context of the invention. A holding device with a spring element acts on the link chain. By means of the holding devices, the flap can be automatically held in an intermediate position on the way between the open position and the closed position. This prevents the flap from automatically falling into the closed position. In order to be able to ensure this functionality with flaps of different weights, an adjustment device is provided. The bias of the spring element can be adjusted via this.

Another flap fitting is known from DE 10 2015 117 291 B3.

It is the object of the invention to create a furniture fitting of the type mentioned at the outset which has a stable structure for transferring large loads and at the same time offers a compact design. This object is achieved in that the holding device is coupled directly or indirectly to an actuator via a pivot lever, and that an adjusting device is provided with which the force introduction point of the holding device can be changed in a position of the articulated chain by means of an adjusting element.

In this furniture fitting, the flap or door is guided over a stable link chain, it being possible for the link chain to be articulated to a fastening section or a housing of the furniture fitting. The articulated chain manages the stable adjustment of the flap or door on a pivoting path. The holding device is now coupled to this link chain via the pivot lever, an actuator being additionally provided. This enables a particularly space-saving and stable construction. The force introduction point of the holding device can be adjusted by means of an adjusting device and thus an adaptation to different flap or door weights can be made. According to the invention, for example, in the open position of the furniture fitting, that is, when the flap of a flap fitting is open, the setting element of the setting device can be actuated in order to then set the desired position of the force introduction point. The furniture fitting is then ready for use and the flap can be closed. Of course, it is also conceivable to carry out the adjustment in a position of the furniture fitting that deviates from the open position. In the open position, however, there is good access to the adjustment element.

According to a preferred variant of the invention, it can be provided that the furniture fitting has a front side facing the stop side of a door and an opposite rear side that the holding device applies a compressive force by means of the at least one spring element, which is preferably essentially in the direction of the front side of the furniture fitting is directed and which causes an adjustment of the connecting element in the direction of the front side upon relief or partial relief of the spring element. Such an arrangement enables a particularly space-saving design. In particular, the holding device can then be positioned in the direction from the front to the rear behind the link chain, so that the overall height of the Furniture fittings can be made particularly small. Such a furniture fitting can be integrated particularly inconspicuously into a furniture body.

The fact that the holding device acts in the direction of the front side of the fitting, in that the connecting element is adjusted towards the front side when the spring element is relieved, supports a stable construction. In particular, the design of the furniture fitting can then be carried out in such a way that there is no reversal of thrust in the direction of force, as is provided in common furniture fittings of this type. With this thrust reversal, the connecting element is usually shifted towards the rear when the spring is released. The force thus initially acts in the direction of the rear of the fitting. The effective force is then deflected via a lever mechanism so that the force vector acts on the link chain towards the front. This lifting mechanism requires a great overall height and is also less stable than the furniture fitting according to the invention.

A preferred variant of the invention can be such that a connecting element of the holding device is pivotably connected to the pivot lever by means of a bearing, and that the force introduction point of the holding device is preferably formed by the bearing.

A furniture fitting according to the invention can be such that the pivot lever is pivotably attached to the actuator by means of a joint, it being possible in particular for the adjustment device to be effective between the actuator and the pivot lever. This offers a simple and stable structure.

For a simple adjustment of the force introduction point, it can be provided that the positioning of the pivot lever relative to the actuator is changed when the adjustment device is adjusted in a position of the link chain.

A comfortable setting of the force introduction point can preferably take place in such a way that a tool holder of the setting element of the setting device is accessible through the open or partially opened flap or door, the entry opening into the tool holder in the direction of the front side of the Furniture fitting is open, preferably such that a tool, preferably a screwdriver, can be inserted into the tool holder in the direction from the front to the rear.

Provision is particularly preferably made for the actuator to be mounted pivotably about a fixed joint, so that a stable force dissipation is possible.

A furniture fitting according to the invention can also be characterized in that the actuator has a counter-stop, which is preferably mounted rotatably about a pivot bearing relative to the actuator, that the counter-stop on at least part of the movement of the articulated chain between the open position and the closed position a stop, preferably an adjusting arrangement and / or a lever, preferably the pivot lever, and that the adjusting arrangement has a damper and / or a tension spring.

If the counter stop is rotatably mounted, the moment loads at the contact point of the stop are kept low. If a damper is provided, the closing movement, for example, can additionally be dampened, in particular in the last part of the closing movement. When using a tension spring, for example, the movement of the flap can be effected or supported on part of the opening movement. It is also conceivable that the stop is used to limit the opening movement of the furniture fitting.

A furniture fitting is particularly preferred such that the actuator and / or the pivot lever is / are connected to the articulated chain with an actuating lever. The control lever then transfers the force generated by the holding device into the link chain. In other words, the adjusting lever can then, for example, create the connection from the holding device to the articulated chain.

According to a further preferred variant of the invention, it can be provided that the actuator, the pivot lever and the actuating lever can be pivoted about a common pivot axis, preferably on a common joint are pivotally coupled. As a result, fewer parts and assembly costs can be achieved.

Adjustment options for the force introduction point can be easily solved if it is provided that the actuator has a guide in which an adjusting piece is adjustably guided, the adjusting piece having a screw receptacle that meshes with a thread of the adjusting element, and that the adjusting element can be pivoted with the Adjustment is coupled. Accordingly, stepless adjustment can be effected. The pivot bearing ensures that when the kinematic arrangement is adjusted and the setting element is pivoted as a result, it can be moved accordingly

A preferred furniture fitting can be characterized according to the invention in that the articulated chain has two stationary joints and that the folding device is arranged behind the articulated chain in the direction from the front to the rear of the furniture fitting. The two stationary joints can, for example, in particular be part of a 7-joint chain. The fixed joints enable a guided and stable adjustment of the joint chain. The arrangement of the folding devices behind the articulated chain leads to a compact design.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. Show it:

FIG. 25 shows a furniture body in a side view and the assembly piece according to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 1 shows a flap holder as furniture fitting 10. This serves to attach a furniture flap with a horizontal pivot axis to a furniture body 110 (see, for example, FIG. 12). Flierzu are usually attached to opposite sides of the furniture body 110 furniture fittings 10, to which the furniture flap to be moved is attached.

The furniture fitting 10 has a housing 50. A kinematic arrangement 30 is housed in this housing 50. The kinematic arrangement 30 comprises a multi-axis, so-called articulated chain. Accordingly, the kinematic arrangement 30 is formed by a plurality of levers which are connected to one another via joints.

A fastening lever 31 is provided on the kinematic arrangement 30. With this, the furniture fitting 10 can be connected to the furniture flap (not shown).

The housing 50 is covered by a cover 20. The cover 20 has a front wall 21. Side walls 22 are connected laterally to the front wall 21.

Furthermore, a cover element 23 can be used which covers the area between two levers, in the present exemplary embodiment an area formed between a 1st and a 2nd deflection lever 33, 34 of the kinematic arrangement 30. In this way, intervention protection is provided which prevents a finger from being trapped in the area between the two levers when the kinematic arrangement 30 moves as intended.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show the structure of the kinematic arrangement 30 more clearly. As FIG. 3 shows in particular, the kinematics arrangement 30 has the two deflection levers 33, 34 following the fastening lever 31. The 1st deflection lever 33 can be connected to the fastening lever 31 via a 1st joint 32.1. The second deflection lever 34 is also connected to the fastening lever 31 via a second joint 32.2. According to the present exemplary embodiment, it can be provided for this purpose that the fastening lever 31 has an attachment 32 on which the two deflection levers 33, 34 are attached via the 1st and 2nd joint 32.1, 32.2. On the side facing away from the fastening lever 31, the two deflection levers 33, 34 are fastened to a connecting element 36, which is also designed in the form of a lever. Accordingly, the 1st deflection lever 33 is mounted pivotably on the connecting element 36 via a 3rd joint 33.1 and the 2nd deflection lever 34 via a 5th joint 34.2. FIG. 3 clearly shows that an articulated lever 35 is also provided. The articulated lever 35 is connected to the articulated lever 35 via a 4th joint 34.1. At its end facing away from the 2nd reversing lever 34, the articulated lever 35 is fastened to a fastening section 51 of the housing 50 via a 6th articulation 35.1.

The connecting element 36 carries an adjusting arrangement 70. A force of a damper 71 acting on the kinematic arrangement 30 can be adjusted via this, as will be explained in more detail later.

The connecting element 36 has a 7th and an 8th joint 36.1, 36.2. The 7th joint 36.1 is fixedly connected to the fastening section 51, so that the connecting element 36 can be pivoted about the pivot point defined by the 7th joint 36.1.

In the area of the 7th joint 36.1, the connecting element 36 has two assembly positions 36.3 and 36.4. If desired by the user, the adjusting element 38 can be attached in an articulated manner to one of these two mounting positions 36.3 and 36.4. The selected mounting position depends on the desired operating mode, which will be explained in more detail later. An adjusting lever 39 is pivotably attached to the 8th joint 36.2. The adjusting lever 39 and the adjusting element 38 are each coupled to an actuator 37 via a 9th joint 38.1 and a 10th joint 39.1. The 6th, 7th and 9th joint 35.1, 36.1 and 38.1 are fixedly connected to the fastening section 51 and the levers 35, 36, 37 articulated thereon can be pivoted about them.

The holding device 40 can be coupled to the actuator 37. The holding device 40 comprises a spring receptacle 44, which is designed in the manner of a housing and which receives one or more spring elements 43. The spring elements 43 are subject to pressure in the present case. The spring elements 43 are supported at one end on the spring receptacle 44. The spring elements 43 are pushed onto support elements 45 and at their other end they are supported on a connecting element 41 to which the support elements 45 are fastened. The connecting element 41 has a pivot bearing 41.1. A pivot lever 42 is coupled to this pivot bearing 41.1 and, like the adjusting lever 39, is coupled to the 10th joint 39.1.

The kinematic arrangement 30 is arranged between two fastening sections 51, 53, it being possible for the two fastening sections 51, 53 to be constructed essentially mirror-symmetrically. FIG. 2 shows the two fastening sections 51, 53, which are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another. Each of the attachment portions 51, 53 has an outside and an inside. The inner sides of the two fastening sections 51, 53 face one another. The outer sides of the fastening sections 51, 53 form the outer sides of the housing 50. The stationary joints 35.1, 36.1 and 38.1 are connected to the two fastening sections 51, 53.

As can be seen in FIG. 2, the fastening section 53 is provided with an L marking. This indicates to the user that the fastening section 53 can be used for assembly on the left in a furniture body. The opposite fastening section 51 is accordingly provided with an R marking, which signals the right-hand mounting option. The furniture fitting can therefore be used for left or right-hand assembly. This is the reason why the two fastening sections 51, 53 can be constructed essentially identical and mirror-symmetrically.

In the following explanations, the fastening section 51 will be discussed. The same statements apply analogously to the fastening section 53.

As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the fastening section 51 can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part from a sheet metal blank. The fastening section 51 has a support section 52. This support section 52 is from the edge a recess 54 or an opening which is excluded from the fastening section 51. Fixing elements 55 are punched out of the fastening section 51 and are bent in a protruding direction towards the outside of the housing. As the drawings show, the fixing elements 55 can be designed, for example, as tab-shaped extensions. The fastening section 51 can also have a profiled alignment section 56, which can in particular be embodied as an embossing or folding.

At the longitudinal ends of the fastening section 51 there are openings which form guide receptacles 57. These guide receptacles 57 are designed as slots whose slot width tapers continuously. As FIG. 2 shows, in the case of the fastening section 51, for example, the slot width of the guide receptacle 57 tapers from the left-hand side in FIG. 2 in the direction of the right-hand side of the furniture fitting 10.

As FIG. 3 clearly shows, the kinematic arrangement 30 is fastened to the fastening section 51. At the same time, the kinematic arrangement 30 is also fastened to the second fastening section 53. For this purpose, the 6th joint 35.1, the 7th joint 36.1 and the 10th joint 38.1 are connected to both fastening sections 51, 53, as has already been mentioned above.

The folding device 40 is also connected to the two fastening sections 51, 53 in the area of its pivot bearing 46. In this way, the two fastening sections 51, 53 are also coupled to one another, the kinematic arrangement 30 being received at least in some areas between the two fastening sections 51, 53 in the housing 50.

As FIG. 4 shows, a mounting piece 80 can optionally be connected to one of the two fastening sections 51, 53. In the present exemplary embodiment, the assembly piece 80 is connected to the first fastening section 51 for right-hand assembly. Of course, the assembly piece 80 can also be connected to the opposite second fastening section 53 for left-hand assembly if it is rotated through 180 °. The The following statements therefore also apply analogously to both fastening sections 51, 53.

The mounting piece 80 is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 6 and 7. As these drawings show, the assembly piece 80 can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part from a steel sheet metal blank.

The mounting piece 80 has a fitting side 81 and a furniture fastening side 81.3. The mounting piece 80 has an aligning element 81.1 which is designed in the form of an inclined body edge. The inclination in FIG. 6 runs from left to right, as the drawing clearly shows. A contact section 81.2 is provided opposite the alignment element 81.1. The contact section 81.2 is formed on opposite sides of the mounting piece 80 by elevations.

The mounting piece 80 is penetrated by screw receptacles 82, 83.

The mounting piece 80 has a fold portion 84. According to the present embodiment, the fold portion 84 is shaped as a stamping, so that a bearing surface 84.1 results, which rises above the adjoining areas of the furniture mounting side 81.3.

A bearing receptacle 84.2 is introduced into the bearing surface 84.1. This is designed in the form of a bore. Above the bearing seat 84.2 there is a stop 84.3. This can be expressed in the form of an embossing, preferably as a knob-shaped elevation from the sheet metal blank.

The holding section 84 is provided with a left and a right mark 84.4 and 84.5.

FIGS. 6 and 7 also show that counter elements 85 are provided on the assembly piece 80. The counter-elements 85 can be designed as tabs which are punched out of the sheet metal blank and pressed out in the direction of the furniture fastening side 81.3. The counter elements 85 have a holding section 85.2. This is connected in one piece to the sheet metal blank at its two longitudinal ends via bends 85.1. In the area between the bends 85.1 and the holding section 85.2 there is a plug-in receptacle for the fixing element 55.

The mounting piece 80 is provided with spacers 86. These spacers 86 protrude beyond the furniture fastening side 81.3. As the drawings illustrate, the spacers 86 can be designed in the form of knob-like impressions.

FIG. 6 furthermore illustrates that there are two projections 88 on the assembly piece. These projections 88 can also be formed in one piece with the assembly piece 80 and correspondingly bent out of the sheet metal material in a forming step. It is also conceivable that, as in the present exemplary embodiment, the projections 88 are designed as separate components that are riveted to the assembly piece 80.

Finally, the mounting piece 80 also has openings 89 in the form of bores. The function of these openings 89 is discussed in greater detail below with reference to FIG.

To assemble the furniture fitting 10, the assembly piece 80 is first placed with its furniture fastening side 81.3 on a wall of a furniture body 110 to which the furniture fitting 10 is to be fastened. Fastening screws 90, 91, which are shown in FIG. 4, are then pushed through the screw receptacles 82, 83 and screwed into the wall of the furniture body 110.

As FIG. 4 shows, the fastening screws 90 can be designed in such a way that they can be screwed into pre-drilled blind holes of a system perforation. The two fastening screws 91 are used for additional security and can be designed as self-tapping screws that are inserted into the Wall can be turned. Of course, self-tapping screws can also be used instead of the fastening screws 90.

After the assembly piece 80 has been connected to the furniture body, the adjusting element 60 is rotated into a prepared starting position in accordance with the desired type of stop. If, as in the present example, the furniture fitting 10 is installed with its fastening side 51, i.e. a right-hand stop is to be realized, the adjusting element 60 in the bearing receptacle 84.2 is rotated so that the eccentrically arranged part of the operating part 61 the left-hand marking 84.4 covers and the R mark 84.3 is visible. This signals to the user that he has set the correct type of attachment.

The remaining part of the furniture fitting 10 can now be attached to the fitting side 81 of the mounting piece 80 with the fastening section 51, 53 that is suitable for the respective type of stop (right or left stop). Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 2, the remaining fitting part is placed on the mounting piece 80, the projections 88 engaging in the guide receptacles 57. The projections 88 are in the area of the widened ends of the guide receptacles 57. The fixing elements 55 are accordingly arranged in front of the counter-elements 85.

The fastening section 51 rests on the end of the spacer pieces 86. The adjusting element 60 can now be rotated. For this purpose, a screwdriver is inserted through the recess 54 in the opposite fastening piece 53, so that the screwdriver engages in the tool holder 62 of the operating part 61. The screwdriver can then be turned clockwise in the position shown in FIG. The cylindrical outer circumference of the operating part 61 rolls on the edge delimiting the recess 54 and forming the support section 52. As a result of this movement, the fastening section 51 is pushed from right to left in relation to the mounting piece 80 in FIG. As a result of this sliding movement, the fixing elements 55 are pushed behind the folding sections 85.2 of the counter-elements 85, a form-fitting and releasable connection being formed across the furniture fastening side 81.3. During this movement, the projections 87 are also displaced in the guide receptacles 57 at the same time. Since the guide receptacles 57 are designed as tapering slots, the fastening section 51 is aligned on the mounting piece 80 in the direction of the flea.

Additionally or alternatively, provision can also be made for the alignment element 81.1 to run up against the alignment section 56 during the movement, thereby also making an exact alignment possible. The sliding movement is limited by the stop 84.3. If the adjusting element 60 has been rotated so far that the operating part 61 strikes the stop 84.3, the assembly position is reached. The assembly position is illustrated in FIG.

The assignment of the operating part 61 to the stop 84.3 should preferably be made in such a way that self-locking occurs. In the present exemplary embodiment, for example, the operating part 61 is rotated so far that the contact point between the operating part 61 and the support section 52 runs on the horizontally extending line that intersects the axis of rotation of the bearing pin 63 or is located in the area between this line and the stop 84.3. Then, when a force acts on the furniture fitting 10 against the assembly direction described above, the connection between the assembly piece 80 and the associated fastening section 51 cannot be released automatically.

For dismantling, a screwdriver only has to be inserted again through the recess 54 in the fastening section 53 and inserted into the tool holder 62 of the operating part 61. The adjusting element 60 can then be rotated counterclockwise. As a result, the fixing elements 55 and the mating elements 85 are disengaged, so that the fastening section 51 is no longer in fastening engagement.

In FIGS. 8 and 9, the adjusting element 60 is shown in greater detail. As this illustration illustrates once again, the adjusting element 60 has a cylindrical operating part 61 which has a tool holder 62. The bearing pin 63 is attached eccentrically to the operating part 61. It's next one Indicator 64 attached to the operating part 60. With this, the user can determine whether the adjusting element 60 is in the open or closed position. For captive fastening of the adjusting element 60, the bearing pin 63 can be inserted into the bearing receptacle 84.2, for example. The bearing pin 63 can then be caulked at the end.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show the flap holder according to the invention and previously described in a representation rotated by 180 °, the fastening section 51 of the housing 50 being removed and the assignment of the kinematic arrangement 30 to the fastening section 53 being shown. In the illustration according to FIGS. 10 and 11, different pivot positions on the path between the open and closed positions are shown.

It is clear from FIGS. 10 and 11 that the adjusting element 38, which is effective between the connecting element 36 and the adjusting element 37, has a spring element 38.2. This spring element 38.2 is clamped between two components of the actuating element 38, so that it applies a compressive force which spreads the actuating element 38 between the 9th joint 38.1 and the selected assembly position 36.3, 36.4, i.e. braces them against one another.

In FIG. 10, the adjusting element 38 is articulated to the assembly position 36.3. As can be seen in FIG. 10, the assembly position 36.3 is arranged at least on a partial movement path between the closed position and the open position below a horizontally extending line which runs through the pivot point of the fixed 7th joint 36.1.

In the closed position of the furniture fitting 10, the spring element 38.2 applies a compressive force to the connecting element 36. Since the mounting position 36.3 is arranged below the connecting line, there is a torque rotating to the left in FIG. 10 with a lever arm which corresponds to the distance between the mounting position 36.3 and the connecting line. This torque causes the furniture fitting 10 to open from the closed position. In this operating mode, a locking mechanism can be provided, which is shown by way of example in FIGS. 15 to 22 and which will be explained in detail later becomes. This locking mechanism keeps the flap or door in the closed position.

When the relocation mechanism is unlocked by a user, the furniture fitting opens automatically through the tensioning force of the spring element 38.2, at least over part of the opening path, caused by the spring element 38.2. In the present exemplary embodiment, the spring element 38.2 effects an opening up to the partial open position shown in FIG.

The above-mentioned locking mechanism will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 15 to 22.

As FIG. 1 shows, the locking mechanism has a lock 200. This locking device 200 has a locking housing 210. The locking housing 210 comprises a top wall 21 1. Side walls 212 rise from the top wall 21 1 at the sides. The locking housing 210 has a recess 214 in its upper region. A rule 240 and also partially a pawl 230 which is connected to the rule 240 protrude through this recess 214.

As can be seen in FIG. 16, a cover 217 is placed on the back of the locking housing 210. Projecting projections 218 are molded or built onto the cover 217. The cover 217 also has a screw receptacle 219 which is in alignment with a screw receptacle 213 of the locking housing 210.

In Figure 17, the open locking housing 210 is shown, with the cover 217 has been removed. As this illustration illustrates, the locking housing 210 has a support 215. The cover 217 can be supported at the edge on this.

The locking housing 210 furthermore has a locking section 220. This locking section 220 is equipped with a guide 221. The guide 221 together with the pawl 230 forms an overstroke mechanism. The guide 221 has an opening 221.1. A transition section 221.2 adjoins this opening 221.1. The transition section 221.2 merges into a deflection section 221.3. The deflection section 221.3 is formed on one side by a deflection body 222 which, like the remaining areas which laterally delimit the guide 221, is preferably in one piece with the locking housing 210. Following the deflection section 221.3, the guide 221 forms a first stop 221.4. A second stop 221.6 is also provided at a distance from the first stop 221.4. A parking position 221.5 of the guide 221 is provided between the 1st and the 2nd stop 221.4 and 221.6. This parking position 221.5 is preferably formed by a parking section 222.2. A return 221.7 follows the second stop 221.6. This return 221.7 merges into a deflection section 221.8, which in turn is merged into the transition section 221.2.

As described above, the pawl 230 cooperates with the guide 221.

The pawl 230 is shown more clearly in FIGS. As this illustration illustrates, the pawl 230 has a lever 232. The lever

232 carries a pivot bearing 231 and a locking piece at the opposite end

233 Figure 19 shows that a bearing surface 235 is formed in the area around the pivot bearing 231. Furthermore, integrally molded ribs 234 are provided which stiffen the lever 232.

The shape of the bolt 240 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 20 and 21. As these drawings illustrate, the bolt 240 has a base body 241. This base body 241 is equipped with a bearing seat 242. Furthermore, the base body 241 has a pawl bearing 248 at a distance from the bearing receptacle 242.

An attachment 245 is connected to the base body 241. This approach 245 delimits a driver receptacle 246. The driver receptacle 246 is also limited by a deflection section 247 or is connected to it. As FIG. 20 shows, the bolt 240 has a spring receptacle 244 which, as shown for example in FIG. 20, can be arranged in the area of the bearing receptacle 242. A clearance 243 is also provided in the area of this spring receptacle 244.

In FIG. 21, the bolt 240 is shown in a view from the rear. As this illustration shows, both the bearing receptacle 242 and the pawl bearing are designed as continuous bores. A mating surface 249 is provided around the pawl bearing 248.

To mount the bolt 240 in the locking housing 210, a bearing piece 216 is provided in the locking housing 210. This bearing piece 216 can be designed in one piece with the locking housing 210 in the form of a bearing bolt. Before the bolt 240 is installed, a spring 250 is connected to it, which is shown in FIG. 17 partly in broken lines and partly in solid lines. The spring 250 can, for example, be designed as a leg spring and has two spring arms 251, 253. The spring arms 251, 253 are connected to one another via a tensioning section 252.

The spring 250 is inserted with its spring arm 253 into the spring receptacle 244. As illustrated in FIG. 17, the clamping section 252 is designed as an annularly curved section and fits into the free space formed on the bearing receptacle 242. The area surrounded by the annularly bent section of the spring 250 is in alignment with the bearing seat 242. The second spring arm 251 is supported, as FIG. 17 shows, in the transition area between the top wall 21 1 and a side wall 212.

The spring 250 is inserted into the bolt 240, the spring arm 251 being led out of the clearance 243. Then the bolt 240 is pushed onto the bearing piece 216. The spring 250 then comes to rest in its position shown in FIG. 17, whereby it assumes a pretensioned state. Because of this spring preload, the bolt 240 is held preloaded in the open position shown in FIG. The locking pawl 230 can then be connected to the bolt 240. For this purpose, the pivot bearing 231 of the pawl 230 is in the Pawl bearing 248 inserted. The insertion movement is limited by the bearing surface 235 of the pawl 230, which comes to rest on the counter surface 249 of the bolt 240.

When all structural units have been inserted into the locking housing 210, the cover 217 can be put on and, for example, latched to the locking housing 210.

In the position shown in FIG. 17, the bolt 240 is in its basic position. If the rule 240 is now pivoted counterclockwise according to FIG. 17, this occurs against the bias of the spring 250. Due to this pivoting, the pawl 230 with its locking piece 233 moves into the guide 221. The locking piece 233 passes through the opening 221.1 of the guide 221 into the transition section 221.2. The locking piece 233 then strikes the deflection bevel 222.1 of the deflecting body 222 and slides along the deflection section 221.3 until it reaches the area of the 1st stop 221.4. If the bolt 240 is now relieved, the locking piece 233 moves against the deflecting body 222 and moves into the parking position 221.5. This is the position in which the furniture flap is in a closed position. If an operator applies an overtravel to the furniture flap, the locking piece 233 reaches the area of the 2nd stop 221.6. If the furniture flap is now relieved of pressure, the 1st adjusting lever 38 with its spring element 38.2 presses the kinematic arrangement 30 into a partially open position, as has been explained above. The locking piece 233 then moves out of the position of the 2nd stop 221.6 and moves back via the return guide 221.7 into the transition section 221.2 until it stops again in the area of the opening 221.1 and reaches the position shown in FIG. This position is secured with a stop. For example, as FIG. 17 shows, the bolt 240 can strike the right side wall 212 of the locking housing 210. In this position, the furniture flap is also released and can be moved automatically by the 1st adjusting lever 38 in the direction of the open position.

The folding mechanism 300 shown in FIG. 22 can be used to connect the furniture flap to the lock 200. The folding 300 has a Fastening arrangement 310 with a fastening plate 31 1. The fastening plate 31 1 can be equipped with one or more fastening receptacles 312. The fastening arrangement 310 has a bearing section 313, which is penetrated by a bearing receptacle. Furthermore, a locking piece 314 is provided on the fastening arrangement 310. The locking piece 314 has a spring element 316. Furthermore, the locking piece 314 also forms a latching receptacle 315.

A holding element 321 is mounted on the fastening arrangement 310. For this purpose, the holding element 321 has a bearing shoulder 322. This bearing attachment 322 is pivotably connected to the bearing section 313 of the fastening arrangement 310. At its end facing away from the bearing attachment 322, the holding element 321 has a latching element 323. Furthermore, a locking section 324 is provided on the holding element 321.

In a locking position shown in FIG. 22, the latching element 323 is in latching engagement with the latching receptacle 316.

The bracket 300 can be attached to the inside of the furniture flap. For this purpose, fastening screws are inserted through the fastening receptacles 312 and screwed into the furniture flap on the back. In the closed position, the holder 33 is in the area of a side wall of the furniture body. The locking section 324 is oriented in the direction of the side wall. The locking device 200, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 21, can be attached to the side wall. For this purpose, the locking device 200 is placed on the inside against the vertical side wall of the furniture body with the side which carries the cover 217. If the projections 218 are used, they are made in a system perforation which is made on the inside of the side wall. The lock 200 is thus precisely aligned with respect to the furniture body. To fix the lock 200, a fastening screw is inserted through the screw receptacles 213 and 219, which are aligned with one another, and screwed into the side wall of the furniture body.

The operation of the lock 200 is as follows. If the furniture flap is moved from the open position in the direction of the closed position, so the locking section 324 of the holder 300 meets the deflection section 247. When the closing movement is continued, the bolt 240 is pivoted into its closed position, as described above (counterclockwise according to FIG. 17. When the closed position is reached, the locking piece 233 is stationary in the park position 221.5. The furniture flap is now securely locked in the locking pitch, the kinematic arrangement 30 with the spring element 38.2 of the 1st adjusting lever 38 introducing a bias in the opening direction via the kinematic arrangement 30 into the furniture flap the furniture flap can be unlocked, as described above.

If a user does not apply an overstroke as intended, but pulls directly on the furniture flap, the release mechanism of the holder 300, which is formed by the latching element 323 and the latching receptacle 315, protects the furniture fitting from damage. In this case, the spring element 315 deflects and releases the latching element 323. The furniture flap can now be swung open unhindered.

When the furniture flap is closed again, the locking section 324 moves outside of the driver receptacle 246 onto the deflection section 247. It is then deflected here and placed in the driver receptacle 246 and at the same time the latching element 323 is moved into the latching receptacle 315 until it latches there. The correct closing position is then restored.

As already indicated above, the adjusting arrangement 70 can be connected to the connecting element 36. The setting arrangement 70 is shown in FIG. As this drawing illustrates, the actuating arrangement 70 has an actuating element 72. This can, for example, be designed in the form of a cap, as FIG. 12 illustrates. The actuator 72 has a receiving part 72.1 in which a receptacle 72.2 is introduced. The receptacle 72.2 is open on one side and a stop 72.4 is provided on the other side of the receptacle 72.2. As can also be seen in FIG. 12, a locking piece 72.3 can be present on the actuator 72. A damper 71 can be inserted into the receptacle 72.2 of the actuator 72. The damper 71 can be designed as a fluid damper, for example as an air or oil damper. It has a cylinder 71.1. A piston is adjustably guided in this. A piston rod 71.2 is connected to the piston. The damper 71 is inserted into the receptacle 72.2 in such a way that its end facing away from the piston rod 71.2 rests against the stop 72.4. The stop 72.4 accordingly limits the insertion movement of the damper 71 into the receptacle 72.2.

The adjusting arrangement 70 also has a holder 73. The holder 73 is cap-shaped and has an open end on one side and a bottom 73.3 on the opposite side. With a support part 73.1, the holder 73 encloses a receptacle which can be designed similarly to the receptacle 72.2 of the actuator 72. The support part 73.1 is equipped with a handle 73.2.

As FIG. 12 further shows, a fastening piece 73.4 can be provided on the holder 73 which can have two legs that are spaced apart from one another. The fastening piece 73.4 forms a latching receptacle 73.5.

At least one holding element 73.6 is present on the holder 73. In the present exemplary embodiment, holding elements 73.6 are provided on opposite sides of the support part 73.1. Furthermore, a marking 73.7 can be provided, which in the present exemplary embodiment is arranged in the area of the holding elements 73.6.

To assemble the actuator arrangement 70, the holder 73 is connected to the actuator 72. For this purpose, the receiving part 72.1 is inserted into the receptacle surrounded by the supporting part 73.1, namely from left to right in FIG. 12 in the assembly direction. A sliding guide is then formed between the outer contour of the receiving part 72.1 and the inner contour of the pressure part 73.1. This enables a linear adjustment of the actuator 72 with respect to the holder 73.

In the assembled state, the piston rod 71.2 is supported at the end on the base 73.3. Accordingly, when the actuator 72 is pushed linearly into the support part 73 is, this takes place against the damping force of the damper 71, the piston rod 71.2 being pushed into the cylinder 71.1. The actuator 72 is held captive with the locking piece 72.3 on the holder 73 in the maximum push-out position. Accordingly, in the assembled position, the locking piece 72.3 strikes a stop in the receptacle of the holder 73.

As FIGS. 10 and 11 show, the connecting element 36 has a guide 36.6. The guide 36.6 is cut out from the connecting element 36 as a slot-shaped recess. A counter-locking element 36.5 is arranged in the guide 36.6. This counter-locking element 36.5 is formed, for example, by a cylinder pin.

To mount the adjusting arrangement on the connecting element 36, the adjusting arrangement 70 is attached to the connecting element 36 in such a way that the counter-locking element 36.5 engages with the locking receptacle 73.5.

In Figures 10 and 11 it can be seen that the connecting element 36 has blocking pieces 36.7. Several blocking pieces 36.7 are provided, which are preferably arranged at the same spacing from one another.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the blocking pieces 36.7 are recessed laterally from the connecting element 36 as notch-shaped recesses. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the blocking pieces 36.7 are assigned a scale. In FIG. 10, the holding elements 73.6 are accordingly inserted into the blocking pieces 36.7 assigned to the marking 3. In this way, the adjusting arrangement 70 is fixed positively on the connecting element 36 in the direction of the guide 36.6. The captive fixing of the adjusting arrangement 70 on the connecting element 36 is secured via the latching connection between the counter-latching element 36.5 and the latching receptacle 73.5.

To attach the adjusting arrangement 70 in a different assembly position, it is gripped on the handle 73.2 and pulled off the connecting element 36, the holding elements 73.6 disengaging from the blocking pieces 36.7 and the locking connection between the counter-locking element 36.5 and the locking receptacle 73.5 will be annulled. The actuating arrangement 70 can now be reattached in a changed assembly position. For this purpose, the counter-locking element 36.5 is moved to the desired location in the guide 36.6, as can be seen from the displaced arrangement in FIGS. 10 and 11. The adjusting arrangement 70 can then be fastened again to the connecting element 36 in the changed assembly position. In Figure 11, the actuator assembly 70 is now set in a maximum setting position.

The adjusting arrangement 70 forms with its stop 72.4 a contact point for a counter-stop 37.2. The counter-stop 37.2 can, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, be designed as a roller that rolls on the stop 72.4. The counter-stop 37.2 is attached to the actuator 37. As soon as the stop 72.4 hits the counter-stop 37.2, the actuator 72 is adjusted against the damping effect of the damper 71. In this way, the closing movement of the furniture fitting 10 can be dampened.

By adjusting the adjusting arrangement 70 on the connecting element 36 in the various fastening points, the point in time from which the damping is effective can be set individually by the user. As can be seen from FIG. 10, with the setting selected there, the damping effect starts relatively late, while in the illustration shown in FIG. 11 the damping force takes effect earlier. This damping prevents the door or flap from hitting hard in the closed position during the closing movement.

FIG. 12 shows that, instead of the damper 71, a tension spring 74 can be installed with the adjusting arrangement 70. The tension spring 74 is designed as a compression spring and has support surfaces 74.1 and 74.2 on opposite sides. The support surface 74.1 is supported on the base 73.3 and the support surface 74.2 on the stop 72.4 when the tension spring 74 is inserted into the receptacle 72.2. The tension spring 74 expands the actuator 72 relative to the holder 73. Accordingly, the actuator 72 can be pushed into the holder 73 against the force of the tension spring 74. If the actuating arrangement is now used in an operating mode in which the tension spring 74 is used, the actuating arrangement 70 supports the opening movement of the furniture fitting 10. The actuator 72 presses accordingly against the counter-stop 37.2. The opening movement is supported until the actuator 72 is in the maximum extended position.

The furniture fitting 10 can be designed in such a way that the adjusting element 38 is connected to the assembly position 36.3 and the adjusting arrangement 70 is equipped with the tension spring 74. When the furniture fitting is in its closed position, i.e. the flap or door is closed, the spring element 38.2 of the adjusting element 38 (for example, after unlocking the flap or door, see above) causes an initial opening movement. This is supported by the tension spring 74. After the spring element 38.2 has discharged, the tension spring 74 continues to operate and causes a further opening until the furniture fitting 10 reaches a partially open position or is particularly preferably in the completely open position.

In a further operating mode, the furniture fitting 10 can be designed such that the damper 71 is installed with the adjusting arrangement 70. The adjusting element 38 is then preferably connected to the second assembly position 36.4.

The second mounting position 36.4 is above the horizontal line and passing through the pivot point of the 7th joint 36.1. Accordingly, caused by the spring element 38.2, a counterclockwise torque is introduced into the connecting element 36. Because of this torque, the adjusting element presses the furniture fitting 10 into the closed position over the last part of the adjustment path. This closing movement takes place against the damping effect of the adjusting arrangement 70, which then rests against the counter-stop 37.2. In the closed position, the adjusting element 38 with the spring element 38.2 holds the connecting element 36 tensioned in the closed position and thus secures it.

A further detail of the furniture fitting 10 is illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14. These figures show enlarged sections of the furniture fitting 10 in the hinge position according to FIG. 10. As these drawings show, the furniture fitting 10 has the holding device 40 with at least one spring element 43. In the present example, three spring elements 43 are used. The spring elements 43 are arranged in the spring receptacle 44 and pushed onto the support elements 45. The spring elements 43 act on the connecting element 41.

In the illustration shown, the spring elements 43 are arranged shifted back a little relative to the connecting element 41 in order to reveal the support elements 45. In fact, the ends of the spring elements 43 are in contact with the connecting element 41 in the operating position.

The spring elements 43 apply a compressive force to the connecting element 41. This compressive force tries to adjust the connecting element 41 in the plane of the drawing according to FIG. 13 from the rear of the furniture fitting 10 in the direction of the front.

The connecting element 41 is connected to the pivot lever 42 via the bearing 41.1. The pivot lever 42 is in turn pivotably attached to the 10th joint 39.1. Accordingly, the pivot lever 42 is pivotably attached to the actuator 37.

The actuator 37 is designed as a 2-part lever. As can be seen from the drawings, the actuator 37 has for this purpose two sub-elements which are arranged at a distance from one another and which, as in the present exemplary embodiment, can be formed from plate-shaped elements, in particular from sheet steel blanks. The fastening lever 31, the reversing lever 33, 34, the

The connecting element 36, the adjusting lever 39 and / or the pivot lever 42 can have the same construction principle.

In FIG. 14, the component of the two-part actuator 37 facing the viewer is removed, so that the structure of the pivot lever 42 can be clearly seen. As this drawing shows, the pivot lever 42, like the actuator 37, is designed as a 2-armed lever, these two levers together around the 10th joint 39.1 are pivotable. The connecting element 41 is fastened to one arm of the pivot lever 42. The other arm of the pivot lever 42 is coupled to an adjusting device 37.3.

As can also be seen in FIG. 14, the setting device 37.3 has an setting element 37.4. The setting element 37.4 can be designed in the form of a screw. The screw has a screw head with a tool holder 37.6. For example, a Torx screw or a hexagon socket screw of conventional design can be used.

The setting element 37.4 is mounted in the area of the tool holder 37.6 on a bearing piece 37.5 so that it can rotate about the central longitudinal axis. The bearing piece 37.5 is fastened pivotably on the actuator 37 by means of a pivot bearing 37.9. The pivot axis runs perpendicular to the image plane in FIG. The threaded section of the adjusting element 37.4 is screwed into a threaded receptacle of an adjusting piece 37.8. The adjusting piece 37.8 is pivotably mounted on the pivot lever 42. The pivot axis of the adjusting piece 37.8 runs perpendicular to the plane of the drawing according to FIG. 14. Furthermore, the adjusting piece 37.8 has guide lugs. These protrude on opposite sides of the pivot lever 42. The guide lugs are each inserted into a guide 37.7 of the actuator 37 and can be moved along the guide contour therein.

To adjust the setting device 37.3, a tool, for example a screwdriver, can be inserted from the front into the tool holder 37.6 with the flap open, the direction of insertion then running from the front to the rear of the furniture fitting 10. The open position is shown in FIG. Compared to the positioning according to FIGS. 13 and 14, the tool holder 37.6 is then arranged in such a way that it is easily accessible from the front. The setting element 37.4 can then be rotated with the tool. Since the adjusting element 37.4 is in thread engagement with the adjusting piece 37.8, the adjusting piece 37.8 and with it the pivot lever 42 are adjusted. As a result of this adjustment, the guide lugs of the adjusting piece 37.8 also move in the guides 37.7, for example in the drawing according to Figure 14 from left to right. With such an adjustment, the pivot lever 42 is rotated about the axis of rotation of the 10th joint 39.1. The bearing 41.1 is then also adjusted. In the present example, when the adjusting piece 37.8 is adjusted to the right in the plane of the drawing, the bearing 41.1 pivots to the top left. The bearing 41.1 forms the force introduction point in which the force of the holding device 40 is introduced into the link chain via the pivot lever 42 and the actuator 37 by means of the second adjusting lever 39. If the pivot lever 42 is now adjusted, the spring elements 43 are relieved to a certain extent and the pretensioning of the spring elements 43 is thus reduced. This results in a reduced clamping force. In this way the flap holder can be adjusted to lower flap weights.

In FIG. 13, the adjustment position in which the maximum spring preload is present is marked with a plus sign. The adjustment position in which the minimum spring tension is present is marked with a minus sign.

When the adjustment device 37.3 is adjusted, the pivot lever 42 pivots, as mentioned above. As a result of this pivoting of the pivot lever 42, the setting element 37.4 is also pivoted about the pivot bearing 37.9. Furthermore, the setting element 37.4 also swivels with respect to the pivotably mounted adjusting piece 37.8.

As mentioned above, the holding force which is generated by the holding device 40 is introduced into the articulated chain of the furniture fitting 10.

As FIG. 3 shows, this link chain is made up of the fixed 6th joint 35.1, the fixed 7th joint 36.1 and the 1st joint 32.1, the 2nd joint 32.2, the 3rd joint 33.1, the 4th joint 34.1 and the 5th joint. Joint 34.2 and the fastening lever 31, the two reversing levers 33, 34, the joint lever 35 and the connecting element 36 are formed. By means of this articulated chain, the fastening lever 31 (and with it a flap coupled to it) can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position.

As FIG. 13 clearly illustrates, the actuator 37 serves on the one hand with the 2nd lever arm of the actuator 37 to accommodate the first control lever 38 and on the other lever arm to accommodate the adjusting device 37.3.

Ultimately, the holding force that is generated by the holding device 40 is introduced into the articulated chain via the second adjusting lever 39.

The adjusting lever 39 is pivotable together with the actuator 37 and the pivot lever 42 about a common axis of rotation, this axis of rotation being formed by the 10th joint 39.1.

As can also be seen in FIG. 14, in a second type of use the counter-stop 37.2 can also be used to limit the opening movement of the flap holder in the open position. For this purpose, the counter-stop strikes a lever, for example in the present case on the pivot lever 42 laterally, when this is in the open position.

FIGS. 13 and 14 also show that the flap holder has a compact design. In particular, for this purpose the holding device 40 is arranged behind the articulated chain in the direction shown in the drawings, which runs from left to right, that is, from the stop side to the opposite rear side.

FIGS. 13 and 14 also show that when the link chain is adjusted, during which the flap is adjusted from the closed position towards the open position, the connecting element 41 is adjusted essentially from the rear to the front (during the closing movement the connecting element 41 is displaced in the opposite direction). This movement of the connecting element 41 is received and passed on from the rear to the front by the link chain. In this respect, the furniture fitting 10 according to the invention manages without reversing thrust, which supports a stable and compact design.

A mounting element 100 is shown in FIGS. 23 and 24. The mounting element 100 has a contact piece 102 from which a stop 101 is angled. A holding element 103 is held on the contact piece 102. The mounting element 100 is preferably designed in one piece as a plastic injection-molded part.

The assembly element 100 serves together with the assembly piece 80 as an assembly aid. As FIG. 25 shows, the furniture fitting 10 can be fastened to a furniture body 110. The furniture body 110 has a conventional design. It has two side walls 111 parallel to one another and a top wall 112 which connects the two side walls 111 to one another. The side walls 111 have a front surface 113 in the area of the furniture opening. The top wall 1 12 has an underside 1 14.

To use the mounting piece 80 as a drilling template, the mounting element 100 is first connected to the mounting piece 80. According to the desired type of stop, as FIG. 25 shows, the mounting piece 100 is hung with its holding element 103 on the counter element 85. For this purpose, the holding element 103 is inserted behind the holding section 85.2 of the counter-element 85, so that it holds it automatically. The holding element 100 can now be placed on the furniture body 110 in such a way that the stop 101 rests on the front surface 113 of the associated side wall 111. The mounting piece 80 rests with its furniture fastening side 81.3 on the inside of the side wall 11 1. For the exact alignment of the mounting piece 80 in the vertical direction, the two contact sections 81.2 rest on the underside 1 14 of the top wall 1 12. In this way, the mounting piece 80 is precisely aligned in a desired drilling template position. Now the two openings 89 can be used to make the drill holes at the desired location. For this purpose, a drill is passed through the openings 89 and the borehole is made in the side wall 11. The assembly piece 80 can then be inserted with its two projections 88 into the previously created drill holes. The mounting piece 80 is a little way down from the bottom 114 of the Top wall 112 withdrawn. The now precisely aligned assembly piece 80 can, as described above, be fastened to the side wall 111 with additional fastening screws 90 or 91. Finally, as described above, the remaining fitting part is fixed to the mounting piece 80 with the fastening section 51, 53.
