Description

  The present invention can be coupled to a rail on which at least one traveling part is mounted so as to be displaceable along with an actuator arranged on the traveling part in order to move the traveling part to the end position, The present invention relates to a sliding door fixture having a retractor having a drive body that is displaceable along a guide path.

Patent document 1 is disclosing the sliding door fixture which can be couple | bonded with a closure auxiliary | assistance tool and the actuator is attached on the driving | running | working part.
The actuator can be hung on the roller carrier in this case.
Therefore, it is possible to mount the actuator on the roller carrier without using a tool.

A sliding door fixture in which an actuator is provided on the running part is shown in US Pat.
The actuator is in this case adjustable on the running part, so that tolerance compensation can simply be implemented.
However, a large number of parts are required for the traveling unit.
In addition, lift prevention means are usually mounted separately from the actuator in the sliding door fixture so as to prevent the sliding door from unintentionally lifting from the rail.
Therefore, various parts must be mounted and aligned during the installation of the sliding door fixture, particularly when left and right running sections are used for the sliding door.

  It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a sliding door fixture that is simply constructed and allows for easy attachment.

  This object is achieved by a fixture having the features of claim 1.

According to the invention, the actuator is movable with respect to the carrier of the traveling part from an attachment position to at least one functional position that can be coupled to the drive of the retractor, the actuator being attached In the position, the traveling part can be attached to the rail, but in the functional position, the traveling part is fixed so as not to be lifted from the rail by a stopper on the actuator.
In this way, the actuator is provided with a lifting prevention means for preventing the traveling unit from being lifted off the rail so that at least the traveling unit can be separated from the rail.
In addition to the function of lifting prevention means, the actuator can be coupled to the retractor in the functional position, and the retractor moves the sliding door with the actuator to a predetermined end position.
In this case, the retractor can bias the drive to the end position by a spring, and optionally a damper can be provided on the retractor.
Thus, the sliding door fixture can have advanced functions with fewer parts.

The actuator is preferably pivotably mounted on the carrier of the traveling part.
Alternatively, it is possible to displaceably mount the actuator on the carrier of the travel part in order to be able to carry out the movement from the mounting position to the functional position or vice versa.
In this case, the pivoting movement and / or the sliding movement can each be performed without using a tool.
In addition to the option of attaching the actuator to the sliding door and leaving it permanently attached prior to installing the sliding door, it is very advantageous to do so both during the installation and / or removal of the sliding door furniture. .

In one embodiment of the invention, the actuator has a protrusion that can engage with a receptacle on the retractor drive.
The protrusion can protrude in one direction basically vertically from the plate-like carrier of the running part, thereby obtaining a compact structure.
Further, the protrusion can be arranged away from the stopper so that the traveling part does not float from the rail.

In order to simply manufacture the fixture using fewer parts, the actuator can be manufactured in one piece, especially from plastic or metal.
Particularly advantageous are plastic-soft component composites, such as plastic-rubber composites (P & R composites).
The actuator can further be latched in the mounting position and / or the functional position to prevent the actuator from unintentionally loosening after moving to the functional position.
The latching is in this case carried out by friction-locked and / or shape-matching functional elements, which are formed indirectly or directly on the actuator and the running part.

The actuator is preferably movable from the mounting position to two different functional positions.
Therefore, it is possible to avoid left and right traveling parts, that is, traveling parts attached to the right or left side of the sliding door.
Two structurally identical running parts can be mounted on the right and left side of the sliding door, which means that the actuator moves to the relevant functional position whether it is the right part or the left part Only determined by.
This saves installation costs and simplifies installation.

In order to be able to apply a particularly strong braking force, it is possible to provide the travel part with two actuators that interact with each retractor.
The retractor can have a damper in this case, so that a very heavy sliding door can also be moved using the fitting according to the invention.
Alternatively, the first actuator can activate the opening damper, while the second actuator can activate the closing damper.
In this case, multiple actuators and dampers can be placed on one side or on different sides.
It is also envisaged to have more than two actuators and retractors or dampers.

  The invention will be described in more detail below on the basis of several exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The cabinet unit 1 includes a furniture body 2 to which a rail 3 is fixed for attaching a plurality of traveling parts 4 of a fixture for a sliding door, so that they can be displaced.
The traveling unit 4 can interact with the retractor 5 at each position to retract the sliding door to the end position.
The retractor 5 can also be provided with a corresponding damper in the opening or closing direction.

FIG. 2 shows the fixture in side view.
The rail 3 is fixed to the upper panel 20 of the furniture body 2 using the upper horizontal leg 30.
Two U-shaped runways 31 and 32 for the roller 9 are formed on the rail 3.
Of course, it is also possible for the rail 3 to have only one runway for the guide roller 9 or more than two runways.

The retractor 5 includes a housing 6 fixed on the rail 3 of the furniture body 2.
A displaceable drive 7 is provided on the housing 6, which is movable along the guide path and is controlled by an actuator 8 that is open, close and / or fixed on the running part 4. Transmit power.
In this example, the traveling unit 4 is fixed to the back of the front plate 60 of the sliding door, and two spaced traveling units 4 are provided for each front plate 60.
The number and positions of the traveling units 4 can be selected according to the weight of the front plate 60.

FIG. 3 shows a modified embodiment of the fixture, and in addition to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a further retractor 5 having a housing 6 ′ to which a driver 7 ′ is movably mounted. 'Is provided.
The driver 7 'can then move along the guide path and can be biased via a spring in the starting position.
In addition, a damper can be positioned on the retractor 5 ′, whereby the front plate 60 can be braked or accelerated by the travel part 4 via the two retractors 5 and 5 ′.
Therefore, a greater pulling force or greater braking force can be generated, especially when the front plate 60 is heavy.

FIG. 4A shows the fixture of FIG. 2 in the attachment position.
The actuator 8 includes a protrusion 80 that projects substantially vertically from the face of the faceplate 60, and the actuator is aligned downward in the mounting position.
In this case, the actuator 8 is mounted so as to be rotatable about the shaft 83, and a gap L that allows the traveling unit 4 to be lifted together with the front plate 60 is formed between the upper surface 84 and the lower side of the rail 3. Exists between.
The gap L is in this case larger than the vertical part of the side wall 33 that defines the runway 32.
Therefore, the roller 9 can be suspended from the runway 32 by lifting the front plate 60 and moving it beyond the side wall 33 to remove the front plate 60.

FIG. 4B shows the fixture of FIG. 4A in the functional position.
The actuator 8 has been pivoted about 90 ° so that at this point the projection 80 is no longer below the shaft 83 but rather is substantially at the same height as the shaft 83.
In this position, the protrusion 80 of the actuator 8 can engage the retractor drive 7 as shown in FIG.
By rotating the actuator 8, a stop 85 is further disposed below the rail 3, which is disposed closer to the rail 3 than the surface 84.
Thus, a gap 88 is provided between the underside of the runway 32 and the stop 85, which is smaller than the height of the side wall 33 in the rail 3 and therefore smaller than the gap L.
Thus, lifting of the front plate 60, where the roller 9 can be removed laterally via the side wall 33, is avoided, whereby the stop 85 is used as a lift prevention means.

5A to 5C show in detail the traveling part 4 of the fixture of FIG.
The traveling unit 4 includes a plate-like carrier 40 on which a holder 41 is attached.
The roller 9 is rotatably mounted between the holder 41 and the plate-like carrier 40, and a plurality of rollers 9 can be provided on the carrier 40 as necessary.
A rotatable mounted actuator 8, shown in the mounting position in FIG.
The actuator 8 can be swung alternately from this mounting position clockwise or counterclockwise and moved to the functional position.
In FIG. 5B, the actuator 8 has been pivoted to the right so that at this point the protrusion 80 can engage the driver on the right side of the carrier 40.
The actuator 8 is pivoted in this case to a stop 86 on the carrier 40, for example formed by a protrusion.
Alternatively, the actuator 8 can be rotated 90 ° clockwise as shown in FIG. 5C.
The actuator is directed to the left at this point, and the protrusion 80 is located on the left side of the carrier 40.
The actuator 8 can be hung in the functional position in FIGS. 5B and 5C in this case, thereby ensuring a stable arrangement.
This can supply the structurally identical traveling part 4 and the traveling part 4 is the right traveling part so that it is only determined during installation whether it is the right part or the left part. It is established by turning the actuator 8 regardless of whether it is a left traveling part or not.

6A-6D show in detail the fixture of FIG.
The actuator 8 comprises an undercut receiving part into which a mushroom bolt 82 or rivet can be inserted.
The bolt 82 has a widened head, thereby preventing the actuator 8 from falling off the plate-like carrier 40.
This increases the stability of the actuator 8 and reduces the load on the central shaft 83.
The shaft 83 can also be formed as a mushroom bolt or rivet for mounting the actuator 8, so that the actuator can rotate on the carrier 40.
In this case, mushroom bolts 82 are fixed on the carrier 40 on opposite sides, which can engage with the corresponding receptacles or regardless of the rotational movement of the actuator 80.

FIG. 6D shows in detail a stop 86 on the plate carrier 40 that is formed as a protrusion and forms a stop for the actuator 8.
Further, it can be seen that the actuator 8 has a channel for receiving a mushroom bolt 82.
A latch spring web 87 can be provided on the channel to latch the actuator 8 in the functional position and prevent it from unintentionally loosening.

7A and 7B show a modified embodiment of a fixture that basically corresponds to the fixture shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
Instead of the mushroom bolt 82, an upright tab 92 having an opening 94 formed thereon is provided on the plate-like carrier 40.
The actuator 8 can be hung on a tab 92 instead of a mushroom bolt 82, and a catch nub 93 engages in the opening 94 for this purpose.
Otherwise, the fixture corresponds to the preceding exemplary embodiment.

8A-8C show a further embodiment of the fixture in which a stop 86 to which the actuator 8 can be applied is provided in the plate carrier 40. FIG.
In addition, the actuator 8 projects beyond the plate carrier 40 in a functional position, whereby one end 103 presses the front end of the plate carrier 40.
Therefore, the stability of the actuator 8 can be further increased.
Otherwise, the traveling unit 4 corresponds to the preceding exemplary embodiment.

9A-9C show a further exemplary embodiment of the running part of the fixture according to the invention.
The traveling unit includes a plate-like carrier 40 on which a roller 9 is rotatably attached.
Instead of a pivotable actuator, a displaceable actuator 10 is provided that is movable along a curved guide.
For this purpose, two mushroom bolts 13, each engaging in a guide path 11, are fixed on the plate carrier 40.
Thus, two guide paths 11 having angled sections 12 are formed on the actuator 10.
A protrusion 14 is formed on the actuator 10 that protrudes perpendicularly from the face of the front plate 60 and can engage with a receiving part on the driver 7.

FIG. 9D shows the actuator 10 in the installed position.
In this position, the roller 9 can be suspended on the rail 3 on the upper panel 20.
As soon as the installation is performed, the actuator 10 can be displaced along the mushroom bolt 13 until it reaches the position shown in FIG. 9A.
The actuator 10 is displaced so that the stopper 15 of the actuator 10 is provided below the roller 9, thereby preventing the traveling portion from being lifted.
In this case, the spring 16 pushes the actuator 10 downward to prevent the actuator 10 from unintentionally loosening from the functional position.
The mushroom bolt 13 is locked and held in an angled end section 17 by a spring 16.
The locked end section 17 is formed only on the left guide path 11, but such a lock can also be provided on the right guide path 11.
When the traveling part is suspended from the rail 3, the actuator 10 must first be moved again along the guide path 11 in order to subsequently lift the roller 9 and allow the roller to be suspended from the rail 3. .

  In the exemplary embodiment, the plate-like carrier 40 of the traveling unit 4 can be manufactured from a stamped and bent metal plate.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the actuators 8 are mounted so that they are pivotable or displaceable.
