Definitions

• the present invention relates to an adjusting device for furniture, comprising a housing and a displaceably mounted thereon, in which a recess and a rotary member is arranged, which shifts the surrounding housing relative to the part when rotating.
• a drawer is known in which a base plate with an eccentric disc is fixed to a side plate.
• the rotatably mounted eccentric can act on an elbow, which is fixed to the front panel.
• the position of the front panel can be changed relative to the side wall, in particular to align the front panel to a front of a piece of furniture.
• Such adjustment is comparatively expensive to install, since the base plate and the elbow must be fixed to the side wall or front panel and then a corresponding adjustment must be made to align.
• An eccentric adjustment has the disadvantage that the adjustment path changes strongly and non-linearly relative to the angle of rotation, which leads to an uneven adjustment with uniform rotation.
• the effective lever arm changes and the maximum displacement is limited.
• the rotary member has two expensive disks, each acting on a contact surface on the recess.
• the contact surfaces are in
• each control disc acts only on a contact surface at the recess and on the opposite side is the each spective control disc spaced from a side wall disposed on the recess.
• control discs are formed so that the angle of rotation and the sliding path are substantially proportional over the entire adjustment.
• geometry of the control disk can be chosen so that an angle change during rotation of the rotary member provides for a proportional displacement
• Rotation angle of more than 240 ° feasible, for example, to nearly 360 °, so that a large angular range can be used for the sliding movement.
• the rotary member has an axis of rotation, wherein the effective lever arm for adjusting the housing is substantially constant.
• the control discs can each have an outer contact surface in the form of an involute, which extends around a base circle.
• the effective lever arm is kept constant, so that the forces remain approximately the same when adjusting.
• the two S expensive discs can be formed symmetrically in a basic position to a middle plane perpendicular to the adjustment.
• the recess for a compact design is arranged on the displaceably mounted part.
• the rotary member is rotatably supported by at least one pin on the housing.
• the housing may have a receptacle for inserting an end portion of the displaceably mounted part, so that the end portion is not visible from the outside.
• the recess is formed on the housing and the rotary member is rotatably supported by at least one pin on the displaceably mounted part, so that in the part only a circular opening must be provided as a bearing bush.
• the adjusting device may be formed for example as a multi-part rail, which is adjustable for adjusting the inclination of the front panel in length and at least two slidably guided together parts.
• the adjustment of the front panel can be done in a simple manner, in which only the length of the rail is adjusted accordingly.
• This can be used in particular in drawers, in which the change in length of the railing leads to a different position of the front panel in the upper area spaced from a floor.
