Description

{FURNITURE HINGE}

The present invention relates to a furniture hinge comprising a mounting plate disposed on a side portion and a hinge portion pivotally mounted on the side portion by a supporting lever and a guide lever and provided with a damper for damping the movement of the hinge portion relative to the side portion, .

Furniture hinges are known from EP 1555372, wherein the hinges are pivotally held on the side portions. To this end, a support lever and a guide lever are provided in such a way that the parallel control arm pivots the hinge part which is fixed to the movable furniture part, such as a furniture door. To damp the movement, a linear damper is provided on the side portion and is coupled with the protrusion on the guide lever by the chain link. Thus, damping occurs during pivoting of the guide lever. The coupling has a rigid configuration, which allows limited compensation for tolerances, especially when the furniture door is aligned and the hinge is adjusted relative to the mounting plate or side portion. Also, the coupling by the chain link is relatively complicated and difficult to mount.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a furniture hinge that is flexible and easily mountable for compensation for tolerances.

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

According to the present invention, a lever is mounted on the side portion, and the lever generates a coupling between the damper of one side and the support lever, the guide lever, or the hinge portion of the other side. Thus, the lever forms an intermediate member, and the intermediate member is not fixedly coupled to the damper at the opposite end by an axle connection, but can only be applied to a sliding surface directly or indirectly connected to the damper. Thus, the furniture hinge can be easily mounted because the lever needs to be fixed in only one axis, and there may also be some compensation for the tolerance since the sliding surface does not exhibit a fixed connection.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lever is freely movably held on the opposite side and is simply held on the sliding or contact surface. The lever can then be mounted independently of the other components, and the lever will only be effective when the sliding or contact surface pivots the lever in the required manner.

Preferably, the lever is on the protrusion of the support lever or guide lever. On the contrary, the lever may comprise a curved contact surface as a curved guide on the side facing the protrusion, so that the lever can be moved as intended when the furniture hinge is pivoted, i.e. within the range just before the closing of the furniture hinge or the furniture door connected thereto will act on a purposeful damper. Preferably, the lever is arranged so that the damper is effective only for less than half of the maximum distance covered by the pivot path of the hinge, thereby simplifying handling so that the position of the hinge can be pivoted without any force . The hinge portion can be pre-tensioned through the one or more springs into the closed position because the furniture door connected to the hinge portion is securely held in the closed position.

The damper is preferably arranged as a linear damper and is pre-tensioned and held against the lever by a spring such that when the hinge is opened, the spring will urge the housing of the damper or damper into the extended position. The force of the spring acting on the damper is lower than the spring pre-tensioning the hinge portion to the closed position.

The side portion may include a pivot flap to which the damper is secured for simple mounting. The damper can then simply be secured to the flap by latching means or other fastening member.

The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 is a side cross-sectional view of a furniture hinge according to the present invention in an open position,

Fig. 2 is a view of the furniture hinge of Fig. 1 along the half-open position of the hinge,

Figure 3 is a view of the furniture hinge of Figure 1, in accordance with the closed position of the hinge portion,

Figure 4 is a view of the furniture hinge of Figure 1 being mounted.

The furniture hinge 1, which is made of metal and / or plastic, comprises a mounting plate 2 which can be fixed to a furniture carcass and on which the side part 3 is mounted in a fixed or adjustable manner . The port-type hinge portion 4 which can be inserted into the groove of the furniture door is pivotally held on the side portion 3 by the support lever 5 and the guide lever 6 provided for pivotal movement. The support lever 5 is connected to the hinge 4 by means of a shaft 7 and articulated by an axis 8 on the side part 3. [ The guide lever 6 is connected to the hinge portion 4 by a shaft 9 and is connected to the side portion 3 by an axis 10.

The protrusion 11 facing the side portion 3 is disposed on the guide lever 6 and the protrusion can be mechanically engaged with the lever 12 which is rotatable about the shaft 13. [ The lever 12 is also held on the side portion 3.

The lever 12 includes a first leg 14 provided on the side of the projection 11 and includes a leg 15 facing the damper on the opposite side. The curved guide surface 16 is provided on the legs 14 and the projections 11 along the curved guide surfaces can slide to pivot the legs 15. [

A linear damper is provided on the side portion 3 and includes a housing 18 and a displaceable piston rod 19. [ The damper may be arranged as a fluid damper or a gas pressure damper. The housing 18 of the damper is held on the pivot flap 21 and the stop 22 is located on the pivot flap. One end of the piston rod 19 and one end of the spring 20 supported on the opposite side on the housing 18 rest on the stop 22. Thus, the housing 18 is pre-tensioned in one direction relative to the lever 12. [

1 shows a furniture hinge 1 in an open position, in which components such as a furniture door, which is connected to the hinge 4, are opened.

In Fig. 2, the hinge portion 4 is pivoted in one direction toward the closed position, and the angle [alpha] between the display position and the closed position is about 45 [deg.]. The support lever 5 and the guide lever 6 are also pivoted during the pivoting movement of the hinge 4 where the protrusion 11 is pivoted by the pivoting of the contact surface 16 Legs < / RTI >

When the hinge portion 4 is now further pivoted to the closed position, the protrusion 11 is moved by the contact surface 16 towards the housing 18 of the damper now being pressed until the position shown in Fig. 3 is reached And the lever 12 is pressed. The hinge portion 4 can be pre-tensioned from the closed position by a spring, which force is greater than the force of the spring 20. [

During the pivoting of the lever 12 the protrusion 11 slides on one side on the contact surface 16 and the contact surface 17 is formed on the opposite side on the leg 15, 18 along the sliding surface 24. Thus, the housing 18 is moved only linearly by the respective guide means provided on the side portions, so that the housing 18 is moved only linearly.

The protrusion 11 again slides over the sliding surface 16 on the lever 12 and then pivots back as a result of the force of the spring 20 so that the housing 18 And is moved away from the piston 19 again.

Figure 4 shows the mounting position of the furniture hinge 1, in which the flap 21 is shown in the open position. Thus, the damper having the housing 18, the piston rod 19, and the spring 20 can be easily fixed to the side portion 3. The flap 21 is held on the side portion 3 pivotally about an axis 23. The side portion 3 can be held movable relative to the mounting plate 2 by suitable adjusting means. When the flap 21 is opened, the lever 12 can be mounted in a particularly simple manner and is fixed to the side portion 3 by means of the shaft 13. The shape of the lever 12 can be selected so that the damper operates only within the desired range of pivotal movement of the hinge portion 4. [ In addition, the lever 12 may enable a constant compensation for tolerance when the hinge portion 4 is adjusted with respect to the mounting plate 2 when the furniture door is aligned.
