Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Selbsteinziehvorrichtung für ein mittels einer Ausziehführung aus einem Möbelkorpus in eine Ausziehrichtung ausziehbares und entgegen der Ausziehrichtung in den Möbelkorpus einschiebbares Möbelteil, umfassend einen von einem Basiskörper von einer Grundstellung in eine Wartestellung verschiebbar gelagerten Schlitten, eine den Schlitten in die Grundstellung beaufschlagende Einziehfeder, wobei der Schlitten durch Kopplung mit einem in die Ausziehrichtung verfahrbaren Mitnehmer gegen die von der Einziehfeder ausgeübte Kraft von der Grundstellung in die Wartestellung verschiebbar ist, in welcher der Mitnehmer vom Schlitten abkoppelbar ist und in welcher der Schlitten gegen die Kraft der Einziehfeder gehalten ist, und eine Dämpfereinheit zum Dämpfen der Verschiebung des Schlittens von der Wartestellung in die Grundstellung, welche ein in die und entgegen der Ausziehrichtung bewegliches Teil aufweist, das mit dem Schlitten gekoppelt ist.The invention relates to a self-retracting device for a furniture part that can be pulled out of a furniture body in a pull-out direction by means of a pull-out guide and inserted into the furniture body against the pull-out direction, comprising a slide which is displaceably mounted by a base body from a basic position to a waiting position, and a slide into the basic position acting pull-in spring, whereby the carriage can be moved from the basic position to the waiting position by coupling with a driver which can be moved in the pull-out direction against the force exerted by the pull-in spring, in which the driver can be uncoupled from the slide and in which the slide is held against the force of the pull-in spring is, and a damper unit for damping the displacement of the carriage from the waiting position to the home position, which has a part movable in and against the extension direction, which is coupled to the carriage.

Derartige Selbsteinziehvorrichtungen sind meist in Ausziehführungen integriert. Beispielsweise geht aus der WO 2008/119091 A1 eine Selbsteinziehvorrichtung dieser Art hervor. Die zum Dämpfen der Einziehbewegung eingesetzte Dämpfereinheit wird von einer pneumatischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit gebildet. Auch in anderer Art ausgebildete Dämpfereinheiten wurden bereits bei Selbsteinziehvorrichtungen eingesetzt, beispielsweise Rotationsdämpfer. Damit das Ausziehen des ausziehbaren Möbelteils ausgehend vom vollständig eingeschobenen Zustand des ausziehbaren Möbelteils nicht durch die Dämpfereinheit behindert wird, wirkt die Dämpfereinheit vorzugsweise nur in Richtung des Einschiebens. Um über den Endabschnitt der Einziehbewegung vor Erreichen des vollständig eingeschobenen Zustands des ausziehbaren Möbelteils das Einziehen nicht zu behindern, damit der vollständig eingeschobene Zustand des ausziehbaren Möbelstücks zuverlässig erreicht wird, weisen herkömmliche zur Dämpfung eingesetzte Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten auch einen Freilauf über den letzten Abschnitt des Einschiebens des Kolbens in den Zylinder auf. Um dennoch einen ausreichenden Dämpfungsweg zu erhalten, sodass auch bei einem kräftigen Zuschieben des ausziehbaren Möbelteils dieses auch im vollständig beladenen Zustand zuverlässig abgebremst wird, wird durch einen solchen Freilauf am Ende des Einziehweges die insgesamt erforderliche Baulänge der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit vergrößert. Damit vergrößert sich aber auch die insgesamte Baulänge der Selbsteinziehvorrichtung. Dies führt bei einer Integration in eine Ausziehführung dazu, dass die ausziehbaren Schienen entsprechend kürzer auszubilden sind. Es geht dadurch ein Teil der Ausziehlänge der Ausziehvorrichtung verloren.Such self-retracting devices are usually integrated into pull-out guides. For example, from the WO 2008/119091 A1 a self-retracting device of this type. The damper unit used to dampen the retraction movement is formed by a pneumatic piston-cylinder unit. Damper units designed in a different way have already been used in self-retracting devices, for example rotation dampers. So that the pull-out furniture part can be pulled out starting from When the pull-out furniture part is fully pushed in, it is not hindered by the damper unit, the damper unit preferably only acts in the direction of insertion. In order not to hinder the retraction via the end section of the retracting movement before the extendable furniture part reaches the fully retracted state, so that the fully retracted state of the extendable piece of furniture is reliably achieved, conventional piston-cylinder units used for damping also have a freewheel over the last section of pushing the piston into the cylinder. In order to still obtain a sufficient damping path, so that even when the pull-out furniture part is pushed forcefully closed, it is reliably braked even when fully loaded, such a freewheel at the end of the retraction path increases the overall required length of the piston-cylinder unit. This also increases the overall length of the self-retracting device. When integrated into a pull-out guide, this means that the pull-out rails have to be made correspondingly shorter. As a result, part of the extension length of the extension device is lost.

Um die Einziehkraft der Selbsteinziehvorrichtung im letzten Abschnitt des Einziehweges zu vergrößern, greift entsprechend der Lehre der AT 521 511 B1 die Einziehfeder an einem Hebel an, der gegenüber dem Schlitten und gegenüber dem Basiskörper der Selbsteinziehvorrichtung verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Die gegenüber dem Basiskörper ausgebildete Drehachse ist hierbei gegenüber dem Hebel oder gegenüber dem Basiskörper verschiebbar, insbesondere durch eine im Hebel oder im Basiskörper angeordnete Kulisse, in welche ein die Schwenkachse ausbildender Führungszapfen eingreift. Der Verlauf der von der Einziehfeder auf den Schlitten ausgeübten Einziehkraft in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung des Schlittens kann dadurch angepasst werden.In order to increase the retraction force of the self-retraction device in the last section of the retraction path, the following applies according to the teachings of AT 521 511 B1 the retraction spring on a lever which is pivotally mounted relative to the carriage and relative to the base body of the self-retracting device. The axis of rotation formed relative to the base body is displaceable relative to the lever or relative to the base body, in particular by a link arranged in the lever or in the base body, into which a guide pin forming the pivot axis engages. The course of the force exerted on the slide by the retraction spring The pull-in force can be adjusted depending on the position of the carriage.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine vorteilhafte Selbsteinziehvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, die bei einem relativ langen Einziehweg eine relativ geringe Baulänge aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies durch eine Selbsteinziehvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object of the invention is to provide an advantageous self-retracting device of the type mentioned, which has a relatively short overall length with a relatively long retraction path. According to the invention, this is achieved by a self-retracting device with the features of claim 1.

Bei der Selbsteinziehvorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung ist der Schlitten mit dem beweglichen Teil der Dämpfereinheit über einen Arm gekoppelt. Dieser Arm ist gegenüber dem Schlitten um eine erste Schwenkachse und gegenüber der Dämpfereinheit um eine zweite Schwenkachse verschwenkbar. Die erste Schwenkachse ist gegenüber dem Arm oder dem Schlitten verschiebbar und/oder die zweite Schwenkachse ist gegenüber dem Arm oder dem beweglichen Teil der Dämpfereinheit verschiebbar. Der Arm ist vom Basiskörper zwischen einer hinteren Endstellung, welche der Arm in der Grundstellung des Schlittens einnimmt, und einer vorderen Endstellung, welche der Arm in der Wartestellung des Schlittens einnimmt, geführt. Beim Verschieben des Schlittens von der Wartestellung in die Grundstellung erfolgt zumindest in einem Endabschnitt der Bewegung des Arms vor Erreichen seiner hinteren Endstellung (= in einem Endabschnitt des Einziehweges) eine Drehung des Arms um eine rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung stehende Achse. Dadurch ist über diesen Endabschnitt der Bewegung des Arms vor Erreichen der hinteren Endstellung die Strecke, um welche sich der Schlitten verschiebt, größer als die Strecke, um welche das bewegliche Teil der Dämpfereinheit verschoben wird, vorzugsweise um mehr als das Doppelte. Es wird somit über den Endabschnitt des Einziehweges die von der Dämpfereinheit auf den Schlitten ausgeübte Dämpfungskraft verringert, vorzugsweise auf weniger als die Hälfte.In the self-retracting device according to the invention, the carriage is coupled to the movable part of the damper unit via an arm. This arm can be pivoted about a first pivot axis relative to the carriage and about a second pivot axis relative to the damper unit. The first pivot axis is displaceable relative to the arm or the carriage and/or the second pivot axis is displaceable relative to the arm or the movable part of the damper unit. The arm is guided by the base body between a rear end position, which the arm assumes in the basic position of the carriage, and a front end position, which the arm assumes in the waiting position of the carriage. When moving the carriage from the waiting position to the basic position, at least in one end section of the movement of the arm before reaching its rear end position (= in an end section of the retraction path), the arm is rotated about an axis that is perpendicular to the extension direction. As a result, over this end section of the movement of the arm before reaching the rear end position, the distance by which the carriage is displaced is greater than the distance by which the movable part of the damper unit is displaced, preferably by more than twice. It is therefore over the end section of the retraction path from the damper unit Damping force exerted on the carriage is reduced, preferably to less than half.

Ein Freilauf des Dämpfers im Endabschnitt der Bewegung des Schlittens von der Wartestellung in die Grundstellung kann dadurch verringert werden oder vorzugsweise ganz entfallen. Die erforderliche Baulänge des Dämpfers kann dadurch verkürzt werden.Freewheeling of the damper in the end section of the movement of the carriage from the waiting position to the basic position can thereby be reduced or preferably eliminated entirely. The required length of the damper can thereby be shortened.

Der Dämpfer ist vorzugsweise in Form einer, insbesondere pneumatisch wirkenden, Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit ausgebildet.The damper is preferably designed in the form of a piston-cylinder unit, in particular a pneumatically acting one.

Zur Führung des Arms weist der Basiskörper vorteilhafterweise eine Kulisse auf, in welche mindestens ein Führungszapfen des Arms eingreift. Vorzugsweise greifen zwei Führungszapfen des Arms in diese Kulisse ein, um die kombinierte Verschiebung und Drehung des Arms zu führen. In einer Modifikation könnte auch ein länglicher Führungszapfen des Arms vorgesehen sein, der in die Kulisse des Basiskörpers eingreift, oder es könnten zwei Kulissen des Basiskörpers vorgesehen sein, in welche ein jeweiliger Führungszapfen des Arms eingreift.To guide the arm, the base body advantageously has a slot into which at least one guide pin of the arm engages. Preferably, two guide pins of the arm engage this link to guide the combined displacement and rotation of the arm. In a modification, an elongated guide pin of the arm could also be provided, which engages in the link of the base body, or two links of the base body could be provided, into which a respective guide pin of the arm engages.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Einziehfeder an einem Federhebel angreift, der gegenüber dem Basiskörper um eine erste Drehachse und gegenüber dem Schlitten um eine zweite Drehachse verschwenkbar ist, wobei die erste Drehachse gegenüber dem Basiskörper oder gegenüber dem Federhebel verschiebbar ist. Die Übersetzung der Federkraft auf den Schlitten kann dadurch über den Einziehweg des Schlittens modifiziert werden. Insbesondere kann die auf den Schlitten im Endabschnitt der Verschiebung des Schlittens von der Wartestellung in die Grundstellung (= über den Endabschnitt des Einziehweges) wirkende Kraft erhöht werden, um den vollständig eingezogenen Zustand des ausziehbaren Möbelteils sicherzustellen.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the pull-in spring engages a spring lever which can be pivoted relative to the base body about a first axis of rotation and relative to the carriage about a second axis of rotation, the first axis of rotation being displaceable relative to the base body or relative to the spring lever. The translation of the spring force onto the slide can therefore be modified via the retraction path of the slide. In particular, the force acting on the carriage in the end section of the displacement of the carriage from the waiting position to the home position (= via the end section of the retraction path) can be increased, to ensure the fully retracted state of the pull-out furniture part.

In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Schlitten ein um eine Kippachse zwischen einer Eingriffsstellung und einer Freigabestellung verschwenkbar gelagertes Kippteil auf. In der Grundstellung des Schlittens nimmt das Kippteil die Eingriffsstellung ein und der Mitnehmer ist mit dem Kippteil gekoppelt. Der Mitnehmer kann hierzu in eine Ausnehmung des in der Eingriffsstellung sich befindenden Kippteils eingreifen. Auch könnte der Mitnehmer eine Ausnehmung aufweisen, in welche ein Vorsprung des Kippteils eingreift. Das Kippteil ist in der Wartestellung des Schlittens in die Freigabestellung verkippt. In dieser ist ein Abkoppeln des Mitnehmers vom Kippteil, beispielsweise durch ein Herausfahren des Mitnehmers aus der Ausnehmung des Kippteils, ermöglicht und das Kippteil ist vom Basiskörper gegen eine Verschiebung entgegen der Ausziehrichtung gehalten. Das Kippteil bildet also auch eine Haltevorrichtung zum Halten des Schlittens in der Wartestellung, wenn der Schlitten vom Mitnehmer abgekoppelt ist. Andere Ausbildungen einer solchen Haltvorrichtung sind möglich und bekannt. Beispielsweise könnte der Schlitten im Endabschnitt der Verschiebung vor Erreichen der Wartestellung selbst um eine rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung stehende Achse verkippt werden (durch eine entsprechend gebogene Führung des Basiskörpers), wodurch auch der Mitnehmer aus einer Vertiefung im Schlitten herausfahren kann, und der Schlitten direkt durch Anlage an einer Rückhaltefläche des Basiskörpers gegen eine Verschiebung entgegen der Ausziehrichtung gehalten sein.In a possible embodiment of the invention, the carriage has a tilting part which is pivotably mounted about a tilting axis between an engagement position and a release position. In the basic position of the carriage, the tilting part assumes the engaged position and the driver is coupled to the tilting part. For this purpose, the driver can engage in a recess in the tilting part that is in the engaged position. The driver could also have a recess into which a projection of the tilting part engages. The tilting part is tilted into the release position when the carriage is in the waiting position. This enables the driver to be decoupled from the tilting part, for example by moving the driver out of the recess in the tilting part, and the tilting part is held by the base body against displacement against the pull-out direction. The tilting part also forms a holding device for holding the carriage in the waiting position when the carriage is uncoupled from the driver. Other designs of such a holding device are possible and known. For example, in the end section of the displacement, before reaching the waiting position, the carriage itself could be tilted about an axis perpendicular to the pull-out direction (through a correspondingly curved guide of the base body), whereby the driver can also move out of a recess in the carriage, and the carriage directly by contact be held on a retaining surface of the base body against displacement against the pull-out direction.

Wenn in dieser Beschreibung von "vorne" und "hinten" die Rede ist, so ist dies auf die Ausziehrichtung bezogen.When “front” and “back” are mentioned in this description, this refers to the direction of extension.

Ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Fig. 1 bis 28 dargestellt. Die Selbsteinziehvorrichtung ist in eine Ausziehführung integriert, welche im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Korpusschiene 1, eine Mittelschiene 2 und eine Ausziehschiene 3 umfasst. Die Ausziehführung ist hier nach Art einer Differentialausziehführung ausgebildet, bei welcher die Mittelschiene 2 beim Ausziehen und Einschieben jeweils den halben Weg der Ausziehschiene 3 zurücklegt. Es können wie dargestellt alle Laufrollen an der Mittelschiene 2 angeordnet sein. Die Ausziehführung kann in herkömmlicher Weise ausgebildet sein und die Anordnung der Laufrollen und deren Funktionsweise muss hier nicht genauer erläutert werden.A first embodiment of the invention is in the Fig. 1 to 28 shown. The self-retracting device is integrated into a pull-out guide, which in the exemplary embodiment shown includes a body rail 1, a middle rail 2 and a pull-out rail 3. The pull-out guide is designed here in the manner of a differential pull-out guide, in which the middle rail 2 travels half the distance of the pull-out rail 3 when it is pulled out and pushed in. As shown, all rollers can be arranged on the middle rail 2. The pull-out guide can be designed in a conventional manner and the arrangement of the rollers and their functionality do not need to be explained in more detail here.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Selbsteinziehvorrichtung kann auch in andere Arten von Ausziehführungen integriert sein, beispielsweise auch in eine Ausziehführung, welche nur eine Korpusschiene und eine Ausziehschiene aufweist.A self-retracting device according to the invention can also be integrated into other types of pull-out guides, for example in a pull-out guide which only has a body rail and a pull-out rail.

Das Ausziehen der Ausziehschiene 3 ausgehend vom vollständig eingeschobenen Zustand erfolgt in eine Ausziehrichtung 4, das Einschieben der Ausziehschiene 3 entgegen der Ausziehrichtung 4.The pull-out rail 3 is pulled out, starting from the fully inserted state, in a pull-out direction 4, and the pull-out rail 3 is pushed in counter to the pull-out direction 4.

Nur in Fig. 2 sind Teile eines Möbelkorpus 50, an dem die Korpusschiene 1 zu montieren ist, und eines ausziehbares Möbelteils 51, an dem die Ausziehschiene 3 zu montieren ist, mit gestrichelten Linien angedeutet.Only in Fig. 2 Parts of a furniture body 50, on which the body rail 1 is to be mounted, and a pull-out furniture part 51, on which the pull-out rail 3 is to be mounted, are indicated with dashed lines.

Die Selbsteinziehvorrichtung weist einen Basiskörper 5 auf, von welchem ein Schlitten 6 parallel zur Ausziehrichtung 4 zwischen einer Grundstellung (Fig. 7, 9, 13, 17, 21 und 25) und einer Wartestellung (Fig. 8, 10, 16, 20, 24 und 28) verschiebbar gelagert ist.The self-retracting device has a base body 5, of which a carriage 6 parallel to the pull-out direction 4 between a basic position ( Fig. 7 , 9 , 13 , 17 , 21 and 25 ) and a waiting position ( Fig. 8 , 10 , 16 , 20 , 24 and 28 ) is mounted displaceably.

Zur verschiebbaren Führung des Schlittens 6 weist dieser beidseitig Nuten 7 auf, in welche zueinander gerichtete, parallel zur Ausziehrichtung 4 verlaufende Stege 8 des Basiskörpers 5 eingreifen. Beispielsweise könnte der Schlitten 6 zur verschiebbaren Führung am Basiskörper 5 auch vorspringende Führungszapfen aufweisen, die in, beispielsweise in Form von Langlöchern ausgebildete, Kulissen im Basiskörper eingreifen.For the displaceable guidance of the carriage 6, it has grooves 7 on both sides, into which mutually directed webs 8 of the base body 5, which run parallel to the pull-out direction 4, engage. For example, the carriage 6 could also have projecting guide pins for displaceable guidance on the base body 5, which engage in slots in the base body, for example in the form of elongated holes.

Am Schlitten 6 ist ein Kippteil 9 um eine Kippachse 10 (die auch als Schwenk- oder Drehachse bezeichnet werden könnte) verschwenkbar (=verdrehbar) gelagert. In der Grundstellung des Schlittens 6 nimmt das Kippteil 9 bezüglich seiner Verschwenkung um die Kippachse 10 eine Eingriffsstellung ein, in der Wartestellung des Schlittens 6 eine Freigabestellung. Die Kippachse 10 kann beispielsweise mittels Achszapfen 11 des Kippteils 9 ausgebildet werden, welche in Achsausnehmungen 12 des Schlittens 6 eingreifen.A tilting part 9 is mounted on the carriage 6 so that it can pivot (=rotate) about a tilting axis 10 (which could also be referred to as a pivot or rotation axis). In the basic position of the carriage 6, the tilting part 9 assumes an engaged position with respect to its pivoting about the tilting axis 10, and in the waiting position of the carriage 6 it assumes a release position. The tilt axis 10 can be used, for example, by means of axle journals 11 Tilting part 9 are formed, which engage in axle recesses 12 of the carriage 6.

Die Kippachse 10 steht rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung 4 und liegt vorzugsweise horizontal.The tilt axis 10 is perpendicular to the pull-out direction 4 and is preferably horizontal.

Eine Einziehfeder 13 greift an einem Federhebel 14 an. Der Federhebel 14 ist gegenüber dem Basiskörper 5 um eine erste Drehachse 15 und gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 um eine zweite Drehachse 16 verschwenkbar. Die erste Drehachse 15 ist gegenüber dem Basiskörper 5 verschiebbar und gegenüber dem Federhebel unverschiebbar. Die zweite Drehachse 16 ist gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 und gegenüber dem Federhebel unverschiebbar. Für die Verschiebbarkeit der ersten Drehachse 15 gegenüber dem Basiskörper 5 kann z.B vorgesehen sein, dass der Federhebel 14 einen Achszapfen 17 aufweist, der in eine, hier von einem gekrümmt verlaufenden Langloch gebildete, Federhebel-Kulisse 18 des Basiskörpers 5 eingreift. Die Einziehfeder 13 greift an einem Befestigungszapfen 19 des Federhebels 14 an, der zwischen der ersten und zweiten Drehachse 15, 16 liegt.A pull-in spring 13 engages a spring lever 14. The spring lever 14 can be pivoted relative to the base body 5 about a first axis of rotation 15 and relative to the carriage 6 about a second axis of rotation 16. The first axis of rotation 15 is displaceable relative to the base body 5 and immovable relative to the spring lever. The second axis of rotation 16 is immovable relative to the carriage 6 and relative to the spring lever. For the displaceability of the first axis of rotation 15 relative to the base body 5, it can be provided, for example, that the spring lever 14 has an axle pin 17, which engages in a spring lever link 18 of the base body 5, here formed by a curved elongated hole. The pull-in spring 13 engages a fastening pin 19 of the spring lever 14, which lies between the first and second rotation axes 15, 16.

Die zweite Drehachse 16 wird beispielsweise von Achszapfen 20 des Federhebels 14 gebildet, die in Achsausnehmungen 21 des Kippteils 9 eingreifen.The second axis of rotation 16 is formed, for example, by axle journals 20 of the spring lever 14, which engage in axle recesses 21 of the tilting part 9.

Die parallel zueinander liegenden ersten und die zweiten Drehachsen 15,16 stehen rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung 4 und liegen vorzugsweise horizontal.The first and second axes of rotation 15, 16, which are parallel to one another, are perpendicular to the pull-out direction 4 and are preferably horizontal.

Durch das Angreifen der Einziehfeder am Federhebel 14 in Verbindung mit der Verschiebbarkeit der ersten Drehachse in eine entsprechende Richtung (die sich dazu noch in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung des Schlittens ändern kann) wird eine Änderung der Übersetzung der auf den Schlitten wirkenden Federkraft in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung des Schlittens erreicht. Über eine an die Grundstellung des Schlittens anschließende Wegstrecke der Verschiebung des Schlittens erfolgt eine größere Änderung der Länge der Feder als über die gleiche Wegstrecke der Verschiebung des Schlittens, wenn sich dieser näher bei der Wartestellung befindet. Somit kann über den letzten Abschnitt des Einziehweges vor Erreichen der Grundstellung des Schlittens die auf den Schlitten wirkende Federkraft gegenüber einem direkten Angriff der Einziehfeder am Schlitten erhöht werden.By engaging the pull-in spring on the spring lever 14 in conjunction with the displaceability of the first axis of rotation in a corresponding direction (which is also in Can change depending on the position of the carriage), a change in the translation of the spring force acting on the carriage is achieved depending on the position of the carriage. A greater change in the length of the spring occurs over a distance of displacement of the carriage following the basic position of the carriage than over the same distance of displacement of the carriage when it is closer to the waiting position. Thus, over the last section of the retraction path before reaching the basic position of the carriage, the spring force acting on the carriage can be increased compared to a direct attack of the retraction spring on the carriage.

Zur Dämpfung der Verschiebung des Schlittens 6 von der Wartestellung in die Grundstellung dient eine Dämpfereinheit 22. Diese weist als Dämpfer eine z.B. hydraulisch pneumatische wirkende Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 22a auf. Der Zylinder ist unverschiebbar mit dem Basiskörper 5 verbunden. Die Kolbenstange ist mit einem beweglichen Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit verbunden, welches vom Basiskörper 5 parallel zur Ausziehrichtung 4 verschiebbar geführt ist. Lediglich die Bewegung des beweglichen Teils 22b entgegen der Ausziehrichtung ist durch die Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 22a gedämpft, während die Bewegung des beweglichen Teils 22b in die entgegengesetzte Richtung ungedämpft ist. Solche in eine Bewegungsrichtung einen Freilauf aufweisende insbesondere pneumatisch wirkende Dämpfer sind bekannt.A damper unit 22 is used to dampen the displacement of the carriage 6 from the waiting position to the basic position. This has, for example, a hydraulically pneumatically acting piston-cylinder unit 22a as a damper. The cylinder is immovably connected to the base body 5. The piston rod is connected to a movable part 22b of the damper unit, which is guided by the base body 5 so that it can move parallel to the pull-out direction 4. Only the movement of the movable part 22b against the pull-out direction is dampened by the piston-cylinder unit 22a, while the movement of the movable part 22b in the opposite direction is undamped. Such dampers, which have a freewheel in a direction of movement, in particular pneumatically acting, are known.

Auch eine kinematisch umgekehrte Anordnung der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit ist denkbar und möglich, also dass die Kolbenstange gegenüber dem Basiskörper 5 unbeweglich ist und der Zylinder verschiebbar ist und mit einem beweglichen Teil der Dämpfereinheit unverschiebbar verbunden ist.A kinematically reversed arrangement of the piston-cylinder unit is also conceivable and possible, i.e. the piston rod is immovable relative to the base body 5 and the cylinder is displaceable and is immovably connected to a movable part of the damper unit.

Das bewegliche Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 ist mit dem Schlitten 6 über einen Arm 23 gekoppelt. Der Arm 23 ist gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 um eine erste Schwenkachse 24 und gegenüber dem beweglichen Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 um eine zweite Schwenkachse 25 verschwenkbar (= verdrehbar). Die zweite Schwenkachse 5 kann beispielsweise wie dargestellt von einem Achszapfen 26 des beweglichen Teils 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 gebildet werden, der in eine Achsausnehmung 27 des Arms 23 eingreift. Die erste Schwenkachse 24 kann beispielsweise wie dargestellt von einem Achszapfen 28 des Schlittens 6 gebildet werden, der in ein Langloch 29 des Arms 23 eingreift.The movable part 22b of the damper unit 22 is coupled to the carriage 6 via an arm 23. The arm 23 can be pivoted (=rotated) relative to the carriage 6 about a first pivot axis 24 and relative to the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22 about a second pivot axis 25. The second pivot axis 5 can be formed, for example, as shown, by an axle journal 26 of the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22, which engages in an axle recess 27 of the arm 23. The first pivot axis 24 can, for example, be formed, as shown, by an axle journal 28 of the carriage 6, which engages in an elongated hole 29 of the arm 23.

Die erste Schwenkachse 24 ist gegenüber dem Arm 23 verschiebbar und gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 unverschiebbar, während die zweite Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber dem Arm 23 und gegenüber dem beweglichen Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 unverschiebbar ist.The first pivot axis 24 is displaceable relative to the arm 23 and immovable relative to the carriage 6, while the second pivot axis 25 is immovable relative to the arm 23 and relative to the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22.

Die parallel zueinander liegenden ersten und die zweiten Schwenkachsen 24,25 stehen rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung 4 und liegen vorzugsweise horizontal.The first and second pivot axes 24, 25, which are parallel to one another, are perpendicular to the pull-out direction 4 and are preferably horizontal.

Der Arm 23 ist vom Basiskörper 5 zwischen einer hinteren Endstellung und einer vorderen Endstellung beweglich gelagert. Die hintere Endstellung nimmt der Arm 23 in der Grundstellung des Schlittens 6 ein. Die vordere Endstellung nimmt der Arm 23 in der Wartestellung des Schlittens 6 ein. In der vorderen Endstellung ist der Arm 23 gegenüber der hinteren Endstellung in die Ausziehrichtung verschoben und um eine rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung 4 stehende, im Ausführungsbeispiel horizontale Achse verschwenkt. Diese Achse, um die der Arm 23 in der vorderen Endstellung gegenüber der hinteren Endstellung verschwenkt ist, wird im Ausführungsbeispiel von der zweiten Schwenkachse 25 gebildet.The arm 23 is movably mounted by the base body 5 between a rear end position and a front end position. The arm 23 occupies the rear end position in the basic position of the carriage 6. The arm 23 occupies the front end position in the waiting position of the carriage 6. In the front end position, the arm 23 is shifted in the pull-out direction relative to the rear end position and pivoted about an axis that is perpendicular to the pull-out direction 4 and is horizontal in the exemplary embodiment. This axis around which the arm 23 in the front end position is pivoted relative to the rear end position, is formed in the exemplary embodiment by the second pivot axis 25.

Zur Führung des Arms 23 weist der Basiskörper 5 eine Kulisse 30 auf, in welche erste und zweite Führungszapfen 31, 32 des Arms 23 eingreifen.To guide the arm 23, the base body 5 has a link 30, into which the first and second guide pins 31, 32 of the arm 23 engage.

In einem hinteren Endabschnitt der Kulisse 30 weist die Kulisse 30 Ausbuchtungen nach unten und nach oben auf, in welchen die Führungszapfen 31, 32 in der hinteren Endstellung des Arms 23 liegen.In a rear end section of the link 30, the link 30 has bulges downwards and upwards, in which the guide pins 31, 32 lie in the rear end position of the arm 23.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Kulisse 30 auch in einem vorderen Endabschnitt Ausbuchtungen nach unten und nach oben auf, in welchen die Führungszapfen 31, 32 in der vorderen Endstellung des Arms 23 liegen.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the link 30 also has bulges downwards and upwards in a front end section, in which the guide pins 31, 32 lie in the front end position of the arm 23.

Der Mitnehmer 33, der über das Kippteil 9 mit dem Schlitten 6 zusammenwirkt, wird im Ausführungsbeispiel von einem Abschnitt der Ausziehschiene 3 gebildet, vgl. Fig. 5. Ein nach unten ragender Steg 3a des Profils, welches die Ausziehschiene 3 bildet, weist hierzu im Bereich eines hinteren Endes einen den Mitnehmer 33 bildenden Vorsprung auf.The driver 33, which interacts with the slide 6 via the tilting part 9, is formed in the exemplary embodiment by a section of the pull-out rail 3, cf. Fig. 5 . A downwardly projecting web 3a of the profile, which forms the pull-out rail 3, has a projection forming the driver 33 in the area of a rear end.

In der Grundstellung des Schlittens 6, in welcher das Kippteil 9 sich in seiner Eingriffsstellung befindet, greift der Mitnehmer 33 in eine Vertiefung 9a des Kippteils ein. Die Ausziehschiene 3 befindet sich hierbei in ihrer vollkommen eingeschobenen Stellung.In the basic position of the carriage 6, in which the tilting part 9 is in its engaged position, the driver 33 engages in a recess 9a of the tilting part. The pull-out rail 3 is in its fully retracted position.

Wird die Ausziehschiene 3 ausgehend von ihrer vollständig eingeschobenen Stellung in die Ausziehrichtung 4 ausgezogen, so zieht der Mitnehmer 33 über das Kippteil 9 den Schlitten 6 ausgehend von seiner Grundstellung in die Ausziehrichtung 4 gegen die Kraft der Einziehfeder 13, die über den Federhebel 14 auf den Schlitten 6 übertragen wird, in Richtung seiner Wartestellung. Im letzten Abschnitt der Verschiebung des Schlittens 6, bis dieser die Wartestellung erreicht, verschwenkt sich das Kippteil 9 um die Kippachse 10 von seiner Eingriffsstellung in die Freigabestellung. In der Freigabestellung kann der Mitnehmer 33 aus der Vertiefung 9a des Kippteils 9 ausfahren.If the pull-out rail 3 is pulled out in the pull-out direction 4 starting from its fully inserted position, so the driver 33 pulls the carriage 6 via the tilting part 9, starting from its basic position in the pull-out direction 4, against the force of the pull-in spring 13, which is transmitted to the carriage 6 via the spring lever 14, in the direction of its waiting position. In the last section of the displacement of the carriage 6, until it reaches the waiting position, the tilting part 9 pivots about the tilting axis 10 from its engaged position into the release position. In the release position, the driver 33 can extend out of the recess 9a of the tilting part 9.

In der Freigabestellung des Kippteils 9 liegt ein Rückhalteabschnitt 9b des Kippteils 9 an einer Rückhaltefläche 5a des Basiskörpers an. Durch die Anlage des Rückhalteabschnitts 9b an der Rückhaltefläche 5a wird eine Verschiebung des Schlittens durch die Kraft der Einziehfeder 13 aus der Wartestellung in Richtung der Grundstellung gesperrt. Der Schlitten 6 verbleibt somit in der Wartestellung.In the release position of the tilting part 9, a retaining section 9b of the tilting part 9 rests on a retaining surface 5a of the base body. By resting the retaining section 9b on the retaining surface 5a, the carriage is prevented from being displaced by the force of the pull-in spring 13 from the waiting position towards the basic position. The carriage 6 thus remains in the waiting position.

Bei der Verschiebung des Schlittens ausgehend von der Grundstellung in Richtung der Wartestellung ist das Kippteil zunächst vom Basiskörper gegen eine Verkippung um die Kippachse 10 gesperrt, insbesondere durch eine verschiebbare Führung des Kippteil parallel zur Ausziehrichtung 4 vom Basiskörper. Im Ausführungsbeispiel greifen beidseitige Nuten 9d des Kippteils 9 in die Stege 8 des Basiskörpers ein. Im letzten Abschnitt der Verschiebung des Schlittens 6, bevor dieser die Wartestellung erreicht, fahren die Nuten 9d aus den vorderen Enden der Stege 8 aus, sodass die Verschwenkung des Kippteils 9 von der Eingriffsstellung in die Freigabestellung ermöglicht wird.When moving the carriage from the basic position towards the waiting position, the tilting part is initially blocked by the base body against tilting about the tilting axis 10, in particular by a displaceable guide of the tilting part parallel to the pull-out direction 4 from the base body. In the exemplary embodiment, grooves 9d on both sides of the tilting part 9 engage in the webs 8 of the base body. In the last section of the displacement of the carriage 6, before it reaches the waiting position, the grooves 9d extend from the front ends of the webs 8, so that the tilting part 9 can be pivoted from the engaged position into the release position.

Wenn beim Einschieben der Ausziehschiene 3 der Mitnehmer 33 an die Anlauffläche 9c am hinteren Ende der Vertiefung 9a anläuft, wird das Kippteil 9 von der Freigabestellung in die Eingriffsstellung verschwenkt, in welcher der Mitnehmer 33 in die Vertiefung 9a des Kippteils 9 eingreift. Die Verschiebung des Schlittens 6 in Richtung seiner Grundstellung wird dadurch freigegeben und die Einziehfeder 13 zieht den Schlitten 6 und mit ihm den Mitnehmer 33 entgegen der Ausziehrichtung 4, bis der Schlitten 6 die Grundstellung erreicht. Diese Bewegung des Schlittens über den von der Wartestellung bis zur Grundstellung sich erstreckenden Einziehweg ist durch die Dämpfereinheit 22 gedämpft.If, when the pull-out rail 3 is pushed in, the driver 33 comes into contact with the contact surface 9c at the rear end of the recess 9a, the tilting part 9 is pivoted from the release position into the engagement position, in which the driver 33 engages in the recess 9a of the tilting part 9. The displacement of the carriage 6 in the direction of its basic position is thereby released and the pull-in spring 13 pulls the carriage 6 and with it the driver 33 against the pull-out direction 4 until the carriage 6 reaches the basic position. This movement of the carriage over the retraction path extending from the waiting position to the basic position is dampened by the damper unit 22.

Bei der Verschiebung des Schlittens 6 ausgehend von der Wartestellung in Richtung der Grundstellung erfolgt in einem Anfangsabschnitt des Einziehweges zunächst eine Drehung des Arms 23 um eine rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung stehende Achse, im Ausführungsbeispiel um die zweite Schwenkachse 25. Dadurch kann eine Untersetzung der Bewegung des Schlittens 6 auf das bewegliche Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 erreicht werden. Die Strecke der Verschiebung des Schlittens 6 entgegen der Ausziehrichtung 4 ist somit größer als die Strecke der Verschiebung des beweglichen Teils 22b der Dämpfereinheit. Das Einsetzen der Dämpfungswirkung der Dämpfereinheit 22 erfolgt dadurch weniger abrupt.When the carriage 6 is moved from the waiting position towards the basic position, in an initial section of the retraction path, the arm 23 is first rotated about an axis perpendicular to the extension direction, in the exemplary embodiment about the second pivot axis 25. This allows the movement of the carriage to be reduced 6 on the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22 can be achieved. The distance of displacement of the carriage 6 against the pull-out direction 4 is therefore greater than the distance of displacement of the movable part 22b of the damper unit. The onset of the damping effect of the damper unit 22 is therefore less abrupt.

Diese Drehung des Arms 23 im Anfangsabschnitt des Einziehweges könnte auch entfallen. Die Ausbuchtungen der Kulisse in ihrem vorderen Endabschnitt könnten dazu entfallen.This rotation of the arm 23 in the initial section of the retraction path could also be omitted. The bulges of the backdrop in its front end section could be omitted.

Es folgt ein mittlerer Abschnitt des Einziehweges, über welche der Arm 23 vom Schlitten 6 entgegen der Ausziehrichtung 4 ohne Drehung des Arms 23 verschoben wird. In diesem mittleren Abschnitt erfolgt eine 1:1-Übertragung der Bewegung des Schlittens 6 auf das bewegliche Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit.This is followed by a middle section of the retraction path, over which the arm 23 is displaced by the carriage 6 against the extension direction 4 without rotating the arm 23. In this middle one In this section, the movement of the carriage 6 is transferred 1:1 to the movable part 22b of the damper unit.

In einem Endabschnitt des Einziehweges (= Endabschnitt der Bewegung des Schlittens vor Erreichen seiner Grundstellung) und damit in einem Endabschnitt der Bewegung des Arms vor Erreichen seiner hinteren Endstellung erfolgt eine weitere Drehung des Arms 23 (in die gleiche Drehrichtung wie im Anfangsabschnitt) um die rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung stehende Achse, im Ausführungsbeispiel um die zweite Schwenkachse 25. Dadurch kann im Endabschnitt des Einziehweges eine Untersetzung der Bewegung des Schlittens 6 auf die Bewegung des beweglichen Teils 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 erreicht werden. Über diesen Endabschnitt des Einziehweges ist die Strecke der Verschiebung des Schlittens somit größer als die Strecke der Verschiebung des beweglichen Teils 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22, vorzugsweise mindestens doppelt so groß.In an end section of the retraction path (= end section of the movement of the carriage before reaching its basic position) and thus in an end section of the movement of the arm before reaching its rear end position, the arm 23 is further rotated (in the same direction of rotation as in the initial section) at right angles Axis standing in relation to the pull-out direction, in the exemplary embodiment around the second pivot axis 25. This means that in the end section of the pull-in path, the movement of the carriage 6 can be reduced to the movement of the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22. Over this end section of the retraction path, the distance of displacement of the carriage is therefore greater than the distance of displacement of the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22, preferably at least twice as great.

Die Drehung des Arms 23 um die rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung 4 stehende Achse (die im Ausführungsbeispiel von der zweiten Schwenkachse 25 gebildet wird) wird durch die Kraft bewirkt, die auf den Arm 23 im Bereich seiner ersten Schwenkachse 24 von der Einziehfeder 13 über den Federhebel 14 und den Schlitten 6 ausgeübt wird.The rotation of the arm 23 about the axis perpendicular to the pull-out direction 4 (which in the exemplary embodiment is formed by the second pivot axis 25) is caused by the force acting on the arm 23 in the area of its first pivot axis 24 from the retraction spring 13 via the spring lever 14 and the carriage 6 is exercised.

Die Führung des beweglichen Teils 22b der Dämpfereinheit erfolgt im Ausführungsbeispiel durch Eingriff des Achszapfens 26 und eines weiteren Führungszapfens 34 des beweglichen Teils 22b in die Kulisse 30 des Basiskörpers 5. Andere Arten der verschiebbaren Führung können vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise über eine separate Kulisse im Basiskörper oder über eine Leiste an einem der beiden Teile, die in eine Nut am anderen der beiden Teile eingreift.In the exemplary embodiment, the movable part 22b of the damper unit is guided by engagement of the axle journal 26 and a further guide pin 34 of the movable part 22b into the link 30 of the base body 5. Other types of displaceable guidance can be provided, for example via a separate link in the base body or via a strip on one of the two parts, which engages in a groove on the other of the two parts.

Fig. 29 bis 31 zeigen stark schematisiert Ausführungsvarianten der Kopplung des Schlittens 6 mit der Dämpfereinheit 22 über den Arm 23. Fig. 29 to 31 show highly schematic embodiment variants of the coupling of the carriage 6 with the damper unit 22 via the arm 23.

Die bewegliche und verschwenkbare Lagerung des Arms am Basiskörper ist in den Fig. 29 bis 31 nicht dargestellt. Diese kann analog wie zuvor beschrieben ausgeführt sein.The movable and pivotable mounting of the arm on the base body is in the Fig. 29 to 31 not shown. This can be carried out analogously as described above.

Gemäß Fig. 29 ist die erste Schwenkachse 24 gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 verschiebbar (und gegenüber dem Arm 23 unverschiebbar), während die zweite Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber dem beweglichen Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 und dem Arm 23 unverschiebbar ist. Zur Verschiebung der ersten Schwenkachse 24 gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 weist dieser beispielsweise ein Langloch 35 auf, in welches ein Achszapfen des Arms 23 eingreift.According to Fig. 29 the first pivot axis 24 is displaceable relative to the carriage 6 (and immovable relative to the arm 23), while the second pivot axis 25 is immovable relative to the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22 and the arm 23. To move the first pivot axis 24 relative to the carriage 6, the latter has, for example, an elongated hole 35 into which an axle journal of the arm 23 engages.

Gemäß Fig. 30 ist die erste Schwenkachse 24 gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 und gegenüber dem Arm 23 unverschiebbar, während die zweite Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber dem Arm 23 verschiebbar ist und gegenüber dem beweglichen Teil 22b unverschiebbar ist. Zur Verschiebbarkeit der zweiten Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber dem Arm 23 weist dieser beispielsweise ein Langloch 36 auf, in welches ein Achszapfen des beweglichen Teils 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 eingreift.According to Fig. 30 the first pivot axis 24 is immovable relative to the carriage 6 and relative to the arm 23, while the second pivot axis 25 is displaceable relative to the arm 23 and is immovable relative to the movable part 22b. To enable the second pivot axis 25 to be displaced relative to the arm 23, the latter has, for example, an elongated hole 36 into which an axle journal of the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22 engages.

Gemäß Fig. 31 ist die erste Schwenkachse 24 gegenüber dem Arm 23 und gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 unverschiebbar, während die zweite Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber dem beweglichen Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 verschiebbar und gegenüber dem Arm 23 unverschiebbar ist. Zur Verschiebbarkeit der zweiten Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber dem beweglichen Teil 22b der Dämpfereinheit 22 weist dieses beispielsweise ein Langloch 37 auf, in welches ein Achsbolzen des Arms 23 eingreift.According to Fig. 31 the first pivot axis 24 is immovable relative to the arm 23 and relative to the carriage 6, while the second pivot axis 25 is displaceable relative to the movable part 22b of the damper unit 22 and immovable relative to the arm 23. For the displaceability of the second pivot axis 25 relative to the movable part 22b Damper unit 22 has, for example, an elongated hole 37 into which an axle bolt of arm 23 engages.

Bei der Ausführungsvariante von Fig. 29 erfolgt die Drehung des Arms 23 wiederum um die zweite Schwenkachse 25, während bei den Ausführungsvarianten gemäß Fig. 30 und 31 die Drehung des Arms 23 um die erste Schwenkachse 24 erfolgt.In the version of Fig. 29 The rotation of the arm 23 takes place again around the second pivot axis 25, while in the embodiment variants according to 30 and 31 the rotation of the arm 23 about the first pivot axis 24 takes place.

Fig. 32 zeigt in stark schematisierter Weise eine modifizierte Ausbildung der Übertragung der Einziehkraft der Einziehfeder 13 auf den Schlitten 6. Der Federhebel 14 ist gegenüber dem Basiskörper 5 wiederum um eine erste Drehachse 15 und gegenüber dem Schlitten 6 um eine zweite Drehachse 16 verschwenkbar. Die erste Drehachse 15 ist gegenüber dem Basiskörper 5 unverschiebbar und gegenüber dem Federhebel 14 verschiebbar. Hierzu weist der Federhebel 14 beispielsweise eine Federhebel-Kulisse 38 auf, in welche ein Achszapfen des Basiskörpers 5 eingreift. Fig. 32 shows in a highly schematic manner a modified design of the transmission of the pull-in force of the pull-in spring 13 to the carriage 6. The spring lever 14 can be pivoted relative to the base body 5 about a first axis of rotation 15 and relative to the carriage 6 about a second axis of rotation 16. The first axis of rotation 15 is immovable relative to the base body 5 and displaceable relative to the spring lever 14. For this purpose, the spring lever 14 has, for example, a spring lever link 38, into which an axle journal of the base body 5 engages.

Weitere Modifikationen des gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiels sind denkbar und möglich, ohne den Bereich der Erfindung, wie er in den Ansprüchen definiert ist, zu verlassen. Beispielsweise könnte sowohl die erste Schwenkachse 24 als auch die zweite Schwenkachse 25 gegenüber einem der beiden Teile, welche über die jeweilige Schwenkachse 24, 25 miteinander verbunden sind, verschiebbar sein. Die Verschwenkung des Arms 23 bei seiner Drehung würde dann um eine durch die Führung des Arms 23 am Basiskörper 5 definierte gedachte, rechtwinkelig zur Ausziehrichtung 4 stehende, Achse erfolgen, welche vorzugsweise wiederum horizontal liegen würde.Further modifications of the exemplary embodiment shown are conceivable and possible without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. For example, both the first pivot axis 24 and the second pivot axis 25 could be displaceable relative to one of the two parts, which are connected to one another via the respective pivot axis 24, 25. The pivoting of the arm 23 during its rotation would then take place about an imaginary axis defined by the guidance of the arm 23 on the base body 5 and standing at right angles to the pull-out direction 4, which would in turn preferably lie horizontally.

Die Verschiebung des Schlittens zwischen der Grundstellung und der Wartestellung könnte auch entlang einer gekrümmten Bahn erfolgen. Es könnte hierbei eine insgesamte Verkippung des Schlittens erfolgen, sodass ein separates Kippteil entfallen könnte.The movement of the carriage between the basic position and the waiting position could also be along a curved path take place. This could result in an overall tilting of the carriage, so that a separate tilting part could be omitted.
