Furniture module understood, the amount by means of a

electromechanical or electropneumatic lifting device is changeable. By telescoping the entire lifting mechanism is moved into the interior of the furniture and does not visually disturbing impression, for example by visible lifting columns.

For the purposes of the invention, the base body and / or the lifting device form a firm connection with a wall or a floor to the forces occurring at a

Load of the boom body / carcass. If she

Lifting device is attached directly to the wall, directly to the base body or the lifting device to the base body and the base body to the wall or a floor, is for the

Essential teaching of the invention irrelevant. Also the

Interposition of a total adjustment fitting between

Lifting device and / or base body and wall is conceivable.

The invention relates to a furniture module for a kitchen and / or a bathroom. The furniture module comprises a base body, a telescopic box, a boom body and a lifting device, wherein the lifting device between the base body and the boom body is arranged and lifting device the

Telescope box at least partially passes. The

Lifting device moves the boom body relative to the

Base body up and down. The furniture module comprises a fitting device, wherein the fitting device is arranged between the lifting device and the boom body. The boom body is displaceable by the fitting device relative to the lifting device in a horizontal plane and / or pivotable by the fitting device relative to the lifting device by at least one, preferably two and in particular three mutually orthogonal spatial axes. The invention is characterized in that the fitting device comprises adjusting means, wherein the

Adjustment means via at least one service opening individually or in total are accessible so that at a

assembled or erected furniture module without complete or partial disassembly a shift and / or

Pivoting the boom body is feasible.

According to the invention, it is irrelevant in the most general inventive version ^' how many components, in particular adjusting means, the fitting device as a whole consists.

The invention is readily applicable to a furniture module in the form of a wall unit, this embodiment being read in the following explanations.

By at least one or more service openings through which the fitting is adjustable in the assembled, erected furniture module, can by the craftsman or the user of the furniture modules according to the invention even without

further and without much effort a setting

For example, the gap or the orientation of the

Boom body can be made without a part of the furniture module or the entire furniture module must be dismantled to get to the fitting.

The removal of a cap or a glare element represents no disassembly in the context of the invention. Rather, should be claimed according to the invention that light

Accessibility of the adjustment is given even after completed construction and Erstjustage the furniture modules.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that

at least one adjusting means and / or a tool for

Operation of the adjusting means comprises at least one mechanical translation in order to make a manual adjustment, even under heavy load easily. By arranging a transmission or other translation means (eg. Hydraulic or as a lever joint) is the

Possibility, despite the often considerable burden of a

Carcass part, for example, the boom body to adjust this precisely and manually, ie by hand, in a desired position. As far as appropriate translation means are to be accommodated in a tool, these can be formed, for example, as a ratchet with lever or rotary tool with planetary gear.

Further details of the invention, which in particular explain the features and advantages of the dependent claims, are described in the drawings with reference to schematically illustrated embodiments.

Hereby shows:

Figure 1: a view from the left on a first

inventive, height-adjustable furniture module;

FIG. 2 shows a front view of that shown in FIG

Furniture module;

Figure 3: a top view of a shown in Figures 1 & 2 furniture module with an adjacent

Furniture module;

Figure 4: a view of the known from Figures 1-3

Furniture module in a lower position on a wall, a cabinet or the like;

Figure 5: a second device according to the invention, which is known from Figures 1 to 4, the first

height-adjustable furniture module and a as

Base cabinet formed höhenunverstellbares furniture module includes;

FIG. 1 shows a furniture module 1 in side view with a base body 2, a telescopic box 3, which can be moved out of the base body 2 and into it by two lifting devices 4 a, 4 b, as well as a

Boom body 5, which connected to the telescopic box 3 at the upper end of the lifting devices 4a, 4b via a

Fitting device 9 is attached. FIG. 2 shows a corresponding frontal view.

The fitting device in the present case comprises for each

Lifting device 4a, 4b, which as a motor operated

Lifting columns are formed fittings with adjusting means 10,11,12,13 for several linearly independent spatial axes.

If, for example, the adjusting means 13, which a

Distance to the piston rod 14 of the lifting means 4a determines adjusted, so the cantilever body 5 tilts around the

Support axis D _x . If, however, the adjusting means 10 are adjusted, the boom body 5 can be parallel to the overall

Be moved horizontally in the z direction, for example, from a position z in a position ζ ^Λ *. Similarly, the adjusting means 11 allows an adjustment in the x direction,

for example, from χ ^λ to x ^{Λ toward} , as shown in Fig. 2.

The adjusting means 12 in turn is adapted to the relative vertical position of the boom body 5 in relation to

Adjust piston rod 14. In this case, the boom body 5 can be transferred in the y direction from a first position y 'into a position y ^x> . Actuation of the adjusting means 12 on the lifting device 4a and the lifting device 4b

different, so you get a tilt of the boom body 5 about the axis D _z .

The adjusting means are formed in an expedient configuration as a continuous adjustment, for example as a thread with adjusting screw and linear slide or as a screw stop, so that the most accurate adjustment is achieved.

To service the adjusting means are just below the bottom of the boom body 5 service openings 20th

provided by which, for example by means of a

Screwdriver set screws can be operated easily and without costly disassembly, for example, the telescopic box 3. For visual complacency, the service openings 20 can be provided with cover caps, for example plastic caps. The service openings 20 are shown in FIG. 2 as black dots.

Basically, by appropriate embodiments of the adjusting means 10,11,12,13 all adjusting means by the

Service openings 20 can be manipulated below the boom body. These mechanical embodiments, in particular

However, deflections are not the subject of the present case

Invention.

However, there is also the complementary or alternative

Possibility of making the service openings accessible via a drawer 8 integrated in the jib body 5. These

Service openings 21 can then also be easily reached when the drawer is pulled out or possibly removed, and the adjusting means can be manipulated, for example, with a screwdriver.

The position or positions of the service openings can also be chosen otherwise, as long as the visually appealing overall impression of the furniture module is not affected by the service openings.

FIG. 3 serves to clarify the setting to be made Clearances. The furniture module 1 is arranged next to a further furniture module 30 in front of a wall 31. Between

Furniture modules 1.30 is a gap S2, between the furniture module 1 and the wall 31, a gap Sl, which is exactly set. To compensate for inaccuracies beyond the shift in the x-z plane there is the possibility of unequal

Adjustment of the adjusting means 10 on the lifting devices 4a, 4b to cause a rotation about the axis D _y . At this time, the boom body 5 can be moved from a position wy to a position wy ^> .

FIG. 4 shows a view corresponding to FIG. 1, in which the boom body 5 is in front of an object 40,

For example, a wall or a cabinet is positioned. The gap Sl is already set here. By providing two adjustment means 10, 13 for the same spatial axis z, the boom body 5 can be tilted, so that a position wx can be transferred to a position x '.

Figure 5 shows an arrangement of a plurality of furniture modules 50, 51, 52 wherein the furniture module 50 is telescopic and rotated by 90 ° to the furniture module 51 is constructed. The furniture module 51 is static, whereas the furniture module 52, which contains a sink, is in turn telescopic. This results in gaps to be set 53,54,55, which in the course of

Use of the furniture arrangement change and must be readjusted.

The furniture module 50 is shown in a raised position (full line) and a lowered position (dashed line). Below the boom body 56, which has a drawer 57 and in the present case is integrally formed with the telescopic box 58, there are three

Service openings 60, which make the fitting device (not shown) accessible for adjustment purposes. The

Arrangement of service openings 60 just below the

Boom body 56 is useful because a user of the

Furniture arrangement in everyday life does not look under the boom body and thus the overall visual appearance of the furniture assembly by the Service openings 60 is not affected, as is clear for example on the furniture module 52. Of the

Base body 59 is presently included in the telescope box 58, which almost completely blinded

Furniture carcass visually striking.

Basically, an arrangement below the plane of the work surface of a furniture module is to be selected as a preferred position for service openings, as they are not readily visible in everyday use.

The invention is not limited to illustrated or described embodiments. It rather includes

Further developments of the invention in the context of
