Description

Hardware for hanging a sliding door

The present invention relates to a fitting for suspending a sliding door, in particular for cabinets, with a holding element on which a movable running element is arranged and which has at least one receptacle for a first eccentric element.

From DE 6908334 a fitting for a sliding door is known, in which a height adjustment is made via an eccentric. For this purpose, a rotary element is provided, on which an eccentric pin is formed, so that a height adjustment of a holding element is made relative to a sliding door by a rotary movement. In such an adjustment is disadvantageous that the forces acting on the eccentric forces are relatively high and only a relatively small height adjustment can be made.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fitting for hanging a sliding door, which is adjustable in height in a simple manner and can also accommodate larger loads. In addition, the fitting should be easy to assemble.

This object is achieved with a fitting with the features of claim 1.

According to the invention, the fitting comprises a holding element, in which at least one receptacle is provided for a first eccentric element, wherein the first eccentric element is held in a receptacle of a second eccentric element which can be inserted into a pot bore of a sliding door. As a result, the fitting can be mounted in a simple manner, since the two eccentric elements only have to be inserted into one another and by turning the first and / or second eccentric element a relatively large adjustment path is present. In addition, the second can be

Eccentric mount in a simple manner to the sliding door, as well as the production of the pot bore by standard methods is possible. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the second eccentric element is substantially disc-shaped and has an eccentrically arranged receptacle for the first eccentric element. As a result, a height adjustment of the first eccentric element, which is arranged in the second eccentric element, can already be carried out by turning the second eccentric element. The first eccentric element can then be additionally rotated in the second eccentric element to make a fine adjustment.

Preferably, the second eccentric element has at least one projection, which is applied as a stop on the retaining element. The second eccentric element may have a strip-shaped stop, which rests against an edge of the holding element, so that a guide in the vertical direction is given by the stop and the edge.

For a particularly flexible embodiment during assembly, in each case a receptacle for the first eccentric element is formed on the second eccentric element on opposite sides, wherein the two receptacles are arranged offset from one another. During assembly, it is then optionally possible to use the one receptacle or the other receptacle for inserting the first eccentric element.

In a preferred embodiment, the first eccentric element is substantially disc-shaped and has an eccentrically arranged projection on the side facing the retaining element. The projection can then be inserted into an opening of the holding element in order to form a bearing of the first eccentric element on the holding element. Further, on the side facing the holding element, a second projection may be formed on the first eccentric element, which is guided in a curved oblong hole of the holding element, so that the adjustment is limited by rotation of the eccentric element.

The two eccentric elements are used for pre-assembly of the holding element on a sliding door. For a permanent fixation and to prevent an adjustment of the fitting relative to the sliding door, at least one vertically aligned slot for fastening means may be formed on the retaining element, so that after aligning the sliding door, a fixation of the retaining element takes place on the sliding door.

In order to make a particularly flexible height adjustment, preferably several receptacles for the first eccentric element are formed on the holding element, so that the eccentric element can be mounted in different positions on the holding element. The holding element may for this purpose have an angled sheet metal with punched holes, on which corresponding slots, openings and recesses are formed.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a fitting according to the invention in the mounted position;

Figure 2 is a side view of the fitting of Figure 1;

Figures 3A - 3C show several views of the fitting of Figure 1 in different settings;

Figures 4A - 4E show several views of the second eccentric element of the fitting of Figure 1, and

FIGS. 5A and 5B show two views of the first eccentric element of the fitting of FIG. 1.

A fitting 1 for suspending a sliding door 2, in particular on a rail on a furniture carcass, comprises a holding element 4 which has an angled section 5 on an upper side, on which a running element 6 is mounted in the form of a roller. Of course, it is also possible to provide other running elements or sliding elements on the holding element 4. The sliding door 2 includes fixing the Fittings 1 a blind hole 3, as it is made in the assembly of cup hinges.

The holding element 4 is formed as an angled metal sheet, which adjacent to the sliding door 2 has a plurality of vertically aligned slots 7 on a plate-shaped portion, to each of which a fastening means 8, preferably a screw can be set. The fastening means 8 ensure a permanent fixing of the retaining element 4 on the sliding door 2 in an aligned position.

For aligning the retaining element 4 relative to the sliding door 2, a first eccentric element 14 is provided, which is received in a cup-shaped receptacle 16 of a second eccentric element 9. The second eccentric element 9 is inserted in the receptacle formed by the blind hole 3. The second eccentric element 9 is disk-shaped and rotatably held in the blind bore 3. By turning the second eccentric element 9, the first eccentric element 14 is adjusted relative to the sliding door 2. The first eccentric element 14 comprises on the side facing the retaining element 4 an annular projection 10 which engages in a circular opening on the retaining element 4. Further, a pin-shaped projection 12 is formed on the first eccentric element 14 on the side facing the retaining element 4, which is guided in a curved slot 13 on the retaining element 4. Through the slot 13, the rotational movement of the first eccentric member 14 is limited within the receptacle. The first eccentric element 14 comprises a tool holder 11 in the annular projection 10.

On the second eccentric element 9, a strip-shaped projection 17 is formed on the side facing the holding element 4, which rests against a side edge 20 of the holding element 4, so that a vertical guide is present when the first eccentric element 14 is rotated via the tool holder 11.

In FIG. 3A, the fitting 1 is mounted in a middle position relative to the sliding door 2, wherein the pin-shaped projection 12 is arranged on the retaining element 4 in a middle section of the curved elongate hole 13. Corresponding are also the screws 8 arranged in the vertical slots 7 in a central region.

In Figure 3B, an adjustment in the height was made, with a tool, the first eccentric member 14 was rotated counterclockwise until the pin-shaped projection 12 abuts against one end of the elongated hole 13. As a result, the holding element 4 has been moved downwards, so that now the screws 8 are arranged at an upper end of the vertical elongated holes 7.

FIG. 3C shows a position in which the retaining element 4 has been displaced upwards relative to the sliding door 2. The first eccentric 14 was rotated clockwise until the peg-shaped projection 12 abuts the lower end of the elongated hole 13. Accordingly, the screws 8 are positioned at the lower end of the elongated holes 7. The sliding movement is performed to avoid sideways movement through the strip-shaped projection 17 in the vertical direction.

In FIGS. 4A to 4E, the second eccentric element 9 is shown in detail. The second eccentric element 9 is disc-shaped and has a cup-shaped receptacle 16 for the first eccentric to a center

Eccentric 14 on. Adjacent to the pot-shaped receptacle 16 is a protruding strip-shaped projection 17 and a marking 18 in the form of a triangular projection arranged. The projection 17 and the mark 18 protrude from a surface 15 of the eccentric 9.

On the opposite side of the eccentric 9, a second cup-shaped receptacle 16 'is formed, which is arranged offset to a center of the eccentric element 9. In this case, the receptacle 16 'is also offset relative to the receptacle 16, wherein the receivers 16 and 16' are each arranged on opposite sides to a center M of the second eccentric element 9. Furthermore, the second eccentric element 9 comprises on a second surface 15 'a second strip-shaped projection 17' for engagement with the side edge 20 of the holding element 4 and a marking 18 'in the form of a bolt-shaped projection. During assembly, thus optionally the first recording 16 or the second receptacle 16 'are used to insert the first eccentric element 14. As is apparent from Figures 4B and 4D, edge portions of the receptacles 16 and 16 'overlap in a central region around the center M. Depending on which surface 15 or 15' is directed to the support member 4, the first eccentric member 14 is higher or mounted deeper on the blind hole 3. Due to the formation of two mutually offset receptacles 16, 16 'in different heights, the adjustment can therefore be designed to be particularly large.

In Figures 5 A and 5B, the first eccentric member 14 is shown, which is also disc-shaped and on the side facing the holding member 4 has an annular projection 10 in which the formed as a hexagon tool holder 11 is formed. The annular projection 10 serves as a bearing of the first eccentric element 14 at a circular opening in the holding element 4. Further, the pin-shaped projection 12 is formed on the surface of the eccentric member 14 which engages in the arcuate slot 13.

In the illustrated embodiment, the support member 4 can be adjusted in the vertical direction relative to the sliding door 2, wherein for fine adjustment, the first eccentric element 14 can be rotated, as shown in Figures 3B and 3C. Furthermore, the first eccentric element 14 can be mounted in a second receptacle 16 'on the second eccentric element 9, so that a further height adjustment is possible. To further expand the adjustment, a further opening for supporting the annular projection 10 and a curved slot 13 may be formed on the holding element 4, which is vertically spaced from a receptacle for the annular projection 10 and a further slot 13 is formed. This results in a large number of adjustment possibilities, so that the holding element 4 can be flexibly mounted in different positions relative to the sliding door 2. In addition, the two eccentric elements 9 and 14 ensure stable attachment of the retaining element 4 to the sliding door 2. The holding element 4 is formed in the embodiment as an angled metal sheet, as it is used in front sliding doors of a cabinet furniture. When the sliding doors are guided parallel to one another, the rear sliding door is held by two holding elements which are not angled but substantially plate-shaped and on which rollers are likewise mounted. However, such a retaining element has the same punched-outs as the retaining element 4 of a front sliding door. In addition, the same adjusting mechanism according to the invention can also be provided on such plate-shaped holding elements.

Furthermore, in the case of a sliding door, only a single adjustable holding element 4 can be provided, in which two eccentric elements 9 and 14 are provided. The second support member 4 can then be mounted without such Exzenterverstellung, but with the same punched or elongated holes 7 as may be provided on the adjustable support member 4.
