Description

  The invention comprises a device for retracting or ejecting a movably mounted furniture part having the features of the classification part of claim 1, a drawer guide having such a device, and such a drawer guide Related to furniture.

  A device of the general type described above is disclosed in EP 0 392 1221. There is a device for retracting or ejecting a movably mounted furniture part, comprising a carrying member having a spring-loaded companion member and a connecting element, the connecting element being connected to the companion member It is disclosed that it can be connected and thus retracted to the end position.

  One of the disadvantages of the solution schematically disclosed herein is that when the device is attached to the drawer rail and the furniture frame rail, for example by relative rotation between the frame rail and the drawer rail. The connecting element can move through the companion member. Such excessive movement of the companion member by the connecting element may occur even when the drawer is attached to furniture, for example, when a large load is applied to the drawer or when the closing speed is high. Subsequent attempts to reopen the drawer may damage the retractor or ejector.

EP0399121

  Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for retracting or ejecting a furniture part that is movably attached to a furniture frame so that no over-movement of the companion member by the connecting element occurs. .

  This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1, a drawer guide having such a device, and furniture having such a device.

  Due to the fact that the guide provided in claim 1 limits the movement of the companion member relative to the connecting element (especially its movement transverse to the direction of its relative movement), the connecting action is a particularly large force. To ensure that it occurs accurately under the action of

  Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

  In one embodiment of the invention, the guide is adapted to limit movement between the companion member and the connecting element in a transverse direction relative to the direction of relative movement between the companion member and the connecting element. This prevents important movements in the connection process from becoming difficult or unimpeded.

  It is preferred that the guide comprises a guide part connected to the coupling element and a guide contour profile which cooperates with the guide part and is provided or fixed to the conveying member. This has the advantage that the guide does not have to extend over the entire length of the drawer guide and that the connecting element is introduced in the connecting process to the companion member.

  In order to provide a simple structure, the guide part is separated from the connecting element.

  In this case, in the region of the free end, the guide part substantially moves relative between the companion member and the connecting element so that the connecting element is introduced into the companion member as soon as possible during the connection process. Can have protrusions oriented in the direction of.

  Furthermore, in this case, the spring-loaded companion member has, together with the conveying member, a receiving part into which the protruding part can be introduced, preferably a receiving part which is a U-shaped contour outer part. . This improves the accuracy of the engaging operation and also ensures the connection in the connected state.

  In a particularly preferred embodiment, the connecting element has a pin, and the spring-loaded companion member has a groove that can be releasably connected to the pin, in particular the companion member has moved in an inclined manner in the connecting operation. Sometimes it enables a secure and low friction coupling process.

  In order to provide a compact structure, the connecting element has a bend, preferably a substantially right-angle bend, thereby enclosing the drawer or the frame rail, so that in a space-saving manner, the conveying member can be Or it becomes possible to attach to the side part of a drawer rail.

  In order to install the connecting element irrespective of the orientation of the drawer guide, two symmetrical protrusions can be arranged on the connecting element.

  In order to prevent the entry of dirt or to protect the device from damage, the conveying member can be in the form of a container.

  In order to make the drawer as wide as possible, the conveying member is particularly preferably fixed to the drawer rail and / or the connecting element is fixed to the frame rail.

  In order to minimize the amount of moving objects, the conveying member can be fixed to the frame rail and / or the connecting element can be fixed to the drawer rail.

  In order to make optimal use of the space in the furniture, the conveying member is fixed to the furniture part movably attached. For the same reason, not only can the connecting element be fixed to the frame rail, but the connecting element can be fixed to the furniture frame.

  In order to achieve simultaneously reducing the amount of moving objects and optimizing space utilization, the conveying member can be fixed to the furniture frame.

  In order to take advantage of these advantages, the connecting element need not be fixed to the drawer rail, but can also be fixed to a movably attached furniture part.

Further advantages and details of the invention will become apparent from the drawings and the detailed description associated therewith.
