SI22097A - Enhanced furniture hinge - Google Patents

Abstract

The enhanced furniture hinge includes a buckling hinge and a shock absorber. The latter represents a linear shock absorber, which is located in the transverse direction regarding the systematic axis of the buckling hinge and linked to the hinge pot. This hence represents a new integration of a linear shock absorber into the buckling furniture hinge as well as a new switchover link of the buckling hinge and the linear shock absorber.

Finished furniture hinge

The invention relates to a refined furniture shamir, comprising a hammer shimmer and a shock absorber.

It turned out that for furniture using hinged hinges, the knock-on effect of the shamers can cause distortions of the door leaf, if not already dangerous (such as breaking glass wings). There are shock absorption techniques at the distal end of the neck leaf and shock absorption techniques for shami. The present invention concerns the aforementioned option, which in the development of shamirs has led to the merging and cooperation of the sham shammer and the line shock absorber, and thus to a refined furniture shamir.

From US 2004/0205935 Al, a shammer arm known as a linear, "dumping device" (Lautenschlager et al.), Mounted on a shamiric lever, is mounted on pieces of furniture that are connected to one another by means of a hammering shamii and in relation to each other articulated, and from WO 2004/092516 Al is known the "shamir" (hinge; Brusile et al.), on which the pot is mounted alternately acting in a straight line, that is, a linear damper. In both cases, this is a damper located in the plane of the longitudinal axis of the shamir.

It turned out to be what was expected, namely, that this kind of linear shock absorber in the plane of the longitudinal axis of the shamir into a virtually standard furniture shamor causes not only aesthetic and spatial but also assembly and service problems. Namely, all such shamis, in relation to the furniture, are adjusted in the x-, y- and z-axes via the shamiric lever, and the linear damping device fitted to the shamir in the plane of the longitudinal axis of the shamis prevents the access to the lever in question.

The invention therefore seeks to remedy the aforementioned deficiency.

The invention is a concept of solution of the above problem, in which a linear shock absorber is mounted transversely to the system axis of the swinging hinge and the air space in the hinge system plane above the swinging arm of the swinging furniture hinge is substantially intact.

It is essential to the invention that the swivel arm of the swinging hinge interacts with a swivel blade on the shammer pot of the damper located. The implementation details then relate to the question of the transfer of the swing of the wing to the damper and the issue of attaching the damper to the shamir pot.

According to the invention, a linear shock absorber mounted transversely to the system axis of the pivot hinge, having a housing, a piston rod and an external pressure spring or an internal spring arrangement, is provided according to the invention. The damper housing casing is configured with a wing sleeve bearing configuration. The main components of said wing sleeve are the sleeve and the wings. The ends of said sleeve are smoothly trimmed, with a wedge pocket engraved at the front of the damper that does not reach. The base of the wing-roller flap is attached, or substantially, there is one end after the sheath of the sleeve of the coiled rib.

The damper and wing sleeve assembly is inserted into the shock absorber holder.

The section of the holder for receiving the damper assembly and the wing sleeve consists of a sheath diameter of the wing sleeve of adapted bearings, a bearing and a spacer link. The latter essentially constitutes a 120-degree wing sleeve bearing with one edge located at the base of the holder and with the other located in the horizontal diametrical plane of said bearing. This essentially 120-degree bearing is fitted with a screw groove to receive and guide the aforementioned helical rib.

On one end of the damper holder there is a cover-resting bearing and on the other an adjusting support.

The section of the holder used for attachment to the pot of the hinged hinge has a snap-in locking device with adjustable cutouts in the flange of the pot, located externally in the area of the cutout to receive the pot in the furniture panel. Alternatively, the section of the holder for securing the pot hinge to the pot of the swinging hinge has a snap-in retaining bolt, with recesses in the wall rotating the pot in the direction from the inside to the outside. In the latter embodiment, in addition to the above-defined connection of the damping assembly with the hinge portion of the hinge, a dowel bar is provided at the spacer connection of the damping bracket, for which mounting beds are provided in the mounting edge of the pot.

Hereinafter, the invention is further illustrated on the basis of embodiments:

• new incorporation into the well-known squat furniture shamir of the well-known linear shock absorber; and • related new connections of said squat shamii and said linear shock absorber.

The aforementioned patent objects (incorporation, connection) are causally so interconnected that they form a single inventive concept.

The present patent application is essentially a further embodiment to those of national patent application no. SI-P200500042 of 18 February 2005, filed in Slovenia.

It is a knock-down furniture shammer known from GB 2 178 791 A (Ferrari) and a linear furniture shock absorber known from US 2002/0010977 Al.

A fundamental essential feature of the present invention therefore relates to the new installation of a linear furniture buffer, essentially as known from US '977.

The basic building block of the furniture hinge arrangement concerned is the damper (FIGS. 1, 2). The damper B3 has a housing 19, a piston rod 20 and an external pressure spring 21, and a damper B4 has a housing 19 ', a piston rod 20' and an inner pressure spring 2Γ. The casing configuration of the housing 19, 19 'of the damper is adapted to have a bearing 22 of the wing sleeve 23 (FIG. 3). The wing sleeve 23 is a composite construction, the main components of which are the sleeve 24 and the wings 25. The two ends of the sleeve 24 are smoothly cut, thus giving the end, to which the damper B3, B4 does not extend, a wedge incised from the front. pocket 26. The wing 25 is here an element that engages with the back mating surface of the shamir arm H of the hinge hinge when depressing the door wing shock, so that its dimension in the axis of the sleeve is aligned with the width of the latter. The wings 25 are arranged in the axial direction of the sleeve 23 centrally in the center. The wing 25 has a roller face 25 '(to cooperate with the backing surface of the shamir arm) and the back side 25. The base of the roller roller side 25' of the wing 25 is connected, or substantially there, one end of the special, down the sleeve 24. spiral screw rib 27. This is a rib with a relatively steep right screw - with an inclination of 45 ° in size - that encloses the circumference of the sleeve 24 only on the 90 ° range.

The damper B3, B4 is an independent component with respect to the wing sleeve 23 for manufacturing and practical reasons. In the special case, the damper housing 19, 19 'B3, B4 and the wing sleeve 23 may be combined into one part.

The damper assembly B3, B4 and the wing sleeve 23 is inserted into the holder D5 (FIGS. 6 to 8), D6 (FIG. 9), D7 (FIG. 10) of the shock absorber. The holders section D5, D6, D7 for receiving said assembly are in principle identical in all embodiments, the holders D5, D6, D7 differ from each other in the design of the section for their attachment to the pot shackle L3, L4.

The holder section D5, D6, D7 for receiving the damper assembly B3, B4 and the wing sleeve 23 consists of a sheath diameter of the wing sleeve 23 of the adjustable bearing 28, of the bearing 29 and of the spacer connection 30. The latter in this embodiment is essentially a 120-degree wing bearing a sleeve 23 with one edge at the base of the holder, the other in the horizontal diametrical plane of the bearing 28. The said substantially 120-degree bearing includes a screw groove 31 for receiving and guiding the helical rib 27.

It is ensured that the double rib 27 / groove 31 is not self-locking.

Instead of the double rib 27 / groove 31, which may also be inverted, other movable joints of the wing sleeve 23 and the holders D5, D6, D7, such as the groove / point slider, as well as the groove / groove and ball in-between, etc. may be considered.

The positioning of the damper assembly B3, B4 and the wing sleeve 23 in the retainer D5, D6, D7 is provided at one end by a cover bearing 32 and at the other by an adjusting support 33 (FIG. 7). The bearing-bearing bearing 32 covers the free portion of the piston rod 20, 20 'and the end of the sleeve 24 there, and serves as the axial support of the piston rod 20, 20' when, during operation of the device, the wing sleeve 23 moves helically from the bearing 29 to the bearing 28, 32. the support 33 is a pin that closes the free side of the bearing 29 and supports the free end of the sleeve 24 when, during operation of the device, the wing sleeve 23 moves helically from the bearing 28, 32 towards the bearing 29.

In this embodiment, the connection between the bearing 33 and the bearing 29 is based, on one side, on the insertion of the tooth 34 by the (not shown) annular groove 35 in the bearing surface of the bearing 29 and on the other on a sufficiently tight insertion to the bearing 33 of the shaped cylindrical segment 36 with the same bearing plot. Segment 36 includes a wedge pocket 26 of the sleeve 24 and a tooth 37 attached thereto.

In the zero starting state of the device (FIG. 7), the roller face 25 'of the wing 25 rests on the lower edge of the spacer link 30 of the holder D5, D6, D7. The rotational movement of the tooth 37, the inclination of which interacts with the inclination of the wedge pocket 26, results in an axial displacement of the wing sleeve 23. Since the latter also rotates helically due to the insertion of the rib 27 and the groove 31, this implies a rotational displacement of the wing 25 from the spacer 30; this causes the delay function to start. In this case, proper sizing ensures that the axial step of the wedge pocket 26 does not hit the axial step of the tooth 37.

The translatomic movement of the wing 25 means that it slides transversely across the apex face of the shamir arm, without sliding the wing 25 from the shamir arm.

In a particular (not shown) embodiment, the twin screw rib 27 / screw groove 31 is located in the bearing area 29.

The holder section D5 (FIGS. 6 to 8) for fixing to the pot (including L3, L4) of the swinging shim has a flange 38 with holes 39 that coincide with holes 40 in the flange of the pot for (not shown) screws.

In an alternative (non-shown) embodiment, the bearing 28 and the cover-bearing bearing 32 are integrated into a monolithic, 38, fixed bearing. In this case, twin screw rib 27 / screw groove 31 may be located in the area of this bearing.

The holder section D6 (FIG. 9) for attachment to the bow shaker pot L3 has a snap-in flange 41 with slots 42 with recesses 43 in the flange portion of pot pot L3 located externally in the area (not shown) of the pot cut section L3 in (not shown) furniture panel.

The holder section D7 (FIG. 10) for attachment to the bow part L4 of the swinging shim has an attachment 44 with snap-in brackets 45 for engaging with recesses 46 in the wall, from the inside to the outside of the pot L4.

In addition to the snap link, the D7 holder is attached to the snap link 45 / recesses 46 with the shamrock L4 pot. For this purpose, a spur gear 47 (FIGS. 11 to 13) is provided for the spacer connection of the holder D7 (FIGS. 11 to 13) for which the receiving beds 49 are arranged in the mounting rim 48 of the pot section L4.
