Description

Furniture item and method for mounting a sliding element on a furniture carcass

Technical Field

The invention relates to an article of furniture comprising a furniture carcass and at least one sliding element which can be moved along a sliding track by means of at least one sliding component in order to expose or close an opening in the furniture carcass, wherein a stop device is provided at least in the final position of the sliding element, which stop device comprises an actuator and a stop element which can be engaged with the actuator, and to a method for mounting the sliding element on the furniture carcass.

Background

DE 102014105553 a1 discloses an acceleration or braking device for furniture items, in which a driving element can be moved along a guide rail and can be engaged with an actuator to brake a sliding element, such as a sliding door, and then move it into a final position. Such a self-closing mechanism prevents a loud impact sound and makes it possible to stop the sliding door at a predetermined final position. One problem when assembling such furniture items is the positioning of the self-closing mechanism if it defines the final position of the sliding door. If the self-closing mechanism is not accurately positioned in the longitudinal direction of the sliding door guide rail, an undesired step or gap may occur in the final position of the sliding door.

Disclosure of Invention

The problem addressed by the present invention is therefore to provide a piece of furniture and a method of mounting a sliding element on a furniture carcass, by means of which the sliding element can be easily positioned in the final position.

This problem is solved by an article of furniture having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 12.

In the furniture according to the invention, the sliding element, which can be configured as a sliding door, folding/sliding door or other sliding element, is held so as to be movable along a sliding track by means of at least one sliding part. The final position of the sliding element is predetermined by a stop device in which the actuator engages with the stop element. According to the invention, an adjustment mechanism is provided for the actuator, by means of which the actuator can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the running rail in order to adjust the final position of the sliding element. Such an adjustment mechanism results in the advantage that even in the installed position of the sliding element, the final position of the sliding element can be changed, so that the installer can at any time see whether the sliding element is correctly positioned relative to the furniture carcass. This enables easy fine adjustment of the sliding element to optimize the gap and joint size.

The adjustment mechanism preferably comprises an assembly connected to the slide member and an assembly connected to the actuator, which assemblies are displaceable relative to each other. As a result, the adjustment mechanism in the unlocked position can ensure a sliding movement of the sliding element relative to the furniture carcass, which is then fixed according to the desired positioning. For this purpose, the adjusting mechanism can have a locking element, by means of which the setting position can be fixed by clamping or by means of a form fit. The locking element may comprise a pivotably mounted actuating element, so that a tool-less adjustment can be made by means of the adjustment mechanism. In this case, the actuating element is preferably arranged in the region of the upper edge of the respective sliding element, particularly preferably above the upper edge of the respective sliding element, so that even when the sliding element is already almost in the closed position, the installer can grip the actuating element from the front and above with little effort and can start the adjustment process in order to bring the sliding element into the final desired closed position. Alternatively, a worm, eccentric mechanism, or spindle may be used to actuate the adjustment mechanism.

According to a further embodiment, the stop element is designed as a driver element of the self-closing mechanism, which is displaceable along the guide. As a result, the actuator can be moved into the closed position by the self-closing mechanism, in particular also by the damping element, so that braking can take place before the closed position is reached. The self-closing mechanism and the driving element of the self-closing mechanism predetermine a final position of the sliding element, which can be varied by means of an adjustment mechanism on the actuator. Instead of coupling the driver element of the self-closing mechanism to the actuator, the stop element can also be designed as a fixed stop which is fixed to the furniture carcass or to the running rail. Such a fixed stop can be, for example, a U-shaped molded part to which the actuator is fixed in a latching manner.

The adjustment mechanism preferably has an adjustment stroke of at least 20mm, preferably between 30mm and 80 mm. As a result, the sliding door fitting with the adjustment mechanism can be used on different furniture items depending on whether the side wall is used to cover the side edge of the sliding element or, conversely, the sliding element in the closed position is used to cover the front edge of the side wall. Both configurations of the article of furniture can be realized by the article of furniture according to the invention having a corresponding adjustment mechanism.

Preferably, the adjustment mechanism is fixed to the sliding element by means of an actuator, for example to the rear side and to the top side of the sliding element. As a result, the adjustment mechanism is arranged in an area that is not visible from the front but is still easily accessible. The sliding element can be configured, for example, as a plate-shaped sliding door which projects beyond the top panel of the furniture carcass, so that the adjusting mechanism for the actuator can be located behind the sliding door.

The locking element is preferably releasable by means of a rotatable lever which serves as an actuating element in order to be able to adjust the actuator. The lever is rotatable from a release position to a lock position to secure the actuator to the slide member or to a component associated therewith in the set position.

In another embodiment, the actuator is configured as a web or protrusion that can bend or rotate perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sliding rail. To this end, the actuator may be held on a rod which enables a certain rotational or flexing movement of the actuator and which generates a restoring force when the actuator flexes. In this case, the actuator is able to pivot by at least 20 °, preferably at least 30 °.

In the method, once the running rail has been fixed to the furniture carcass and the at least one running component together with the sliding element is placed on the running rail, the at least one running component together with the sliding element is moved into a temporary position relative to the region of the desired final position of the furniture carcass, from which temporary position an adjustment process is carried out. For this purpose, the stop means are coupled to and/or in contact with the actuator and are brought into engagement with the actuator and/or into abutment with the stop element. The sliding element can then be moved by means of the actuator in the longitudinal direction of the running rail by means of the adjusting mechanism or the actuator can be moved by means of the sliding element in order to position the sliding element in the desired final position. This final position can then be locked or fixed by the adjustment mechanism so that the installer can see when the desired final position has been reached during the adjustment process.

Detailed Description

The article of furniture 1 comprises a cabinet-shaped furniture carcass 2 having two side walls 3, the two side walls 3 being connected to each other by means of a bottom panel and a top panel 4. On the front side of the furniture carcass 2, two sliding elements 5 and 6 are provided in the form of sliding doors, it being possible for the article of furniture 1 to have only one sliding element or more than two sliding elements. In the closed position, the sliding elements 5 and 6 cover the opening of the furniture carcass 2 and in the open position can expose said opening. For this purpose, the rear slide element 5 can be displaced by means of the slide part 9 and the front slide element 6 can be displaced by means of the slide part 8. Each of the skid parts 8 and 9 comprises a roller 10, which roller 10 is movable in a guide rail of the skid rail 7. The running rail 7 has two guide rails for the roller 10 of the front running part 8 or the roller 10 of the rear running part 9. The running rail 7 is fixed to the top panel 4 of the furniture carcass 2 and the sliding elements 5 and 6 project slightly beyond the top panel 4, so that the adjusting mechanism 11 for positioning the final position of the sliding elements 5 and 6 can be reached from the front for actuating purposes without difficulty even when the sliding elements 5 or 6 are located in the region close to the respective side wall 3 or close to the desired closed position relative to the furniture carcass 2.

Fig. 3 shows the article of furniture 1 in plan view and it can be seen that an adjusting mechanism 11 is provided on each of the runner components 8 and 9, which adjusting mechanism can be used to adjust the sliding element 5 or 6 in the longitudinal direction of the runner rail 7. In fig. 3, each slide element 5 and 6 is positioned so that the front edge of the side wall 3 is covered by an end edge of the slide element 5 or 6.

If on the article of furniture 1 the sliding element 5 or 6 is intended to project laterally beyond the side wall 3, the final position of the sliding elements 5 and 6 can be changed by means of the adjusting mechanism 11, so that, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the left-hand sliding element 5 projects laterally beyond the left-hand side wall 3. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, the final position of the sliding element 5 can be changed by the adjusting mechanism 11 such that the sliding element is offset inwards, so that for example the side wall 3 can now extend forwards so that it is flush with the front side of the sliding element 5.

The adjustment mechanism 11 comprises an actuator 12, which in the exemplary embodiment is formed by a downwardly projecting protrusion that can be engaged by a driver element 13 of the self-closing mechanism. In fig. 3 to 5, only one self-closing mechanism with a driver element 13 is shown, but one self-closing mechanism may be provided for each actuator 12, in particular in the case where the final positions of the sliding elements 5 and 6 are predetermined by means of the actuator 12, so that in each case two final positions, namely a closed position and a maximum open position, are predefined for each sliding element 5 or 6 by means of the actuator 12 and the self-closing mechanism.

In the context of the present application, the self-closing mechanism comprises a driver element which is biased in one direction by the energy store and which can pull the sliding element 5 or 6 into a final position when the driver element is coupled to the actuator. Such a self-closing mechanism is preferably damped and comprises one or more dampers for braking the sliding element 5 or 6 before the sliding element 5 or 6 reaches the final position.

Fig. 6A to 6D show the adjustment process of the sliding element 5. In the starting position of fig. 6A, the side edges of the sliding element 5 are located in front of the front edge of the side wall 3 and the ends are flush with the outer surface of the side wall 3. To change this position of the sliding element 5, the installer can pivot the locking element 15 of the adjustment mechanism 11 in order to release the locking caused by the adjustment mechanism 11. Fig. 6B shows the locking element 15 in the pivoted position and in this position the sliding door 5 can now be moved relative to the furniture carcass 2. When the sliding element 5 is moved from

When the position shown in fig. 6B is moved to the position shown in fig. 6C, the assembly 16 of the slide part 9 connected to the slide element 5 is displaced relative to the assembly 17 connected to the actuator 12. After the sliding process, the locking element 15 can then be pivoted back into the locking position, as shown in fig. 6D. A new final position of the sliding element 5 is thus set, in which the sliding element 5 now projects outwardly beyond the side wall 3.

Fig. 7A to 7D show an adjustment process for moving the sliding element 5 inwards from the position shown in fig. 6A, in which first the locking element 15 is pivoted (fig. 7B) and then the sliding element 5 is displaced inwards relative to the furniture carcass 2. Once the desired final position of the sliding element 5 has been reached, the locking element 15 can be pivoted again in order to fix the sliding element 5 in the new final position. The actuator 12 now stops in the new final position during opening or closing.

The adjusting mechanism 11 for the slide element 9 is shown in detail in fig. 8. A support bar 18, on which the actuator 12 and the bar assembly 17 are held, is fixed to the slide member 9 with the rollers 10. A slot 19 or other elongated guide means is provided in the bar assembly 17 and extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the running rail 7. The bar-shaped modules 17 are arranged between a support bar 18 and the modules 16 fixed to the support bar 18. A bolt 20 is located on the assembly 16 configured as a cover, the bolt 20 passing through the slot 19 and being secured to the support bar 18. In addition, a locking element 15 is pivotably mounted on the assembly 16, said locking element being arranged in a receptacle 21 of the assembly 16 and being rotatably held on the receptacle 21 by means of a laterally projecting pin 22. The toothing 23 or the clamping element is located on the locking element 15 for fixing the bar-shaped component 17 to the component 16 by clamping or by means of a form fit in the first position of the locking element 15 and in the second position enables the bar-shaped component 17 to be displaced relative to the component 16.

Fig. 9A and 9B show the adjustment mechanism 11 on the slide member 9 in an assembled position. In fig. 9A, the locking element 15 is arranged in a position for fixing by clamping or by means of form fit, which holds the actuator 12 in a predetermined position relative to the slide member 9. If the locking element 15 is pivoted, the assembly 16 can be displaced relative to the slide part 9 and the support bar 18 in order to set the final position of the sliding element 5. The same adjustment mechanism can also be mounted on the slide member 8 of the front slide element 6.

Fig. 10A to 10C and 11 show a modified exemplary embodiment of the gliding part 8', on which different adjustment mechanisms are arranged. The slide part 8' comprises a roller 10, which roller 10 is movably held on the slide rail 7. A guide for the assembly 17 'is also formed on the slide element 8', which guide is formed integrally with the actuator 12 'or is fixedly connected to the actuator 12'. The assembly 17 'additionally comprises a rack 19' or profile and can be fixed to the slide 8 'by means of the assembly 16'. In order to fix the component 17', a screw 15' is provided, which screw 15' passes through an opening in the carriage part 8' and can press the component 16' in a clamping manner against the component 17', wherein a web 23' or a tooth is provided on the component 16' in the vicinity of the toothed rack 19', and the web 23' or the tooth engages in the toothed rack 19' in a form-fitting or press-fitting manner. By loosening the screw 15', the assembly 17' can be displaced relative to the slide member 8', and by tightening the screw 15', the assembly 17 'can be fixed in a predetermined position on the slide member 8'. Such an adjustment mechanism can also be used to adjust the final position of the sliding element 5 or 6.

Fig. 12 and 13 show another exemplary embodiment of a slide element 9, the slide element 9 having a modified adjustment mechanism. This exemplary embodiment substantially corresponds to the adjustment mechanism of fig. 8, but instead of the locking element 15, a spindle 31 is provided, which spindle 31 is rotatably mounted in an internal thread of the block 30. The block 30 is fixed to the assembly 17, there being a slot 19 in the assembly 17, through which slot 19 a bolt is passed to guide the assembly 17. A first receptacle 33 is provided on the assembly 16 for holding the head 32 of the spindle 31 in a rotatable but axially non-displaceable manner. A second U-shaped receptacle 34 is also provided for holding the end of the spindle 31, wherein in the assembled position shown in fig. 12 the spindle 31 can be rotated by the head 32, thereby causing a displacement of the actuator 12 relative to the slide 9. This adjustment can be made by a tool engaging in a tool receptacle on the head 32, the spindle 31 being configured to be self-locking.

Instead of the shown adjustment mechanism for positioning the actuator 12 relative to the skid 8 or 9, also other adjustment mechanisms may be provided, such as an eccentric mechanism, a worm screw or a sliding or pivoting mechanism.

In order to assemble the furniture item, a sliding track is fixed to the top panel 4 of the furniture carcass 2. The slide parts 8 and 9 are fixed to the slide elements 5 and 6 together with at least one adjusting mechanism 11, each slide element 5 or 6 having an actuator 12, preferably the slide parts 8 and 9 are fixed to the slide elements 5 and 6 together with two adjusting mechanisms, each slide element 5 or 6 having in each case a plurality of actuators 12. In addition, a stop element is mounted on the top panel 4 or on the running rail 7, wherein the stop element is optionally configured as a self-closing mechanism with a driver element 13, which driver element 13 can be engaged with the actuator 12. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide a shaped article as a stop, which is brought into form-fitting engagement with the actuator 12 only by means of, for example, a latching connection. The order of execution of the method steps is irrelevant.

After assembly, the sliding element 5 or 6 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the running rail 7. For this purpose, the sliding element 5 or 6 is moved into a corresponding final position, in which it is then adjusted, optionally by pivoting the locking element 15 or by moving another adjusting element of the adjusting mechanism. Once the desired end position for the sliding element 5 or 6 has been set, the sliding element 5 or 6 can be moved into the opposite end position in order to also set there. Thus, the final position can be set with the sliding elements 5 and 6 installed, so that the installer can immediately see the final position where the sliding element 5 or 6 is arranged.

Fig. 14 shows a runner 40, which comprises a bracket-shaped mounting element 41, on which a bracket 43 with a height adjustment device is fastened. A sliding element 42 is also arranged on the mounting element 41, which sliding element 42 carries rollers 44 in order to be able to move the sliding part 40 movably on the sliding rail 7. Adjacent to the bracket 43, an adjustment mechanism 47 is fixed to the slide element 42, which adjustment mechanism comprises an actuator 50, which actuator 50 is fixed to the holding element 45. The holding element 45 comprises a receptacle 46 or a cutout, into which the rod 49 can be inserted. The rod 49 has a block at one end 48, which is held in the receptacle 46 in a manner preventing rotation. The lever 49 has a bearing shaft 51 on the opposite side, which can be mounted in a bearing receptacle 52 of the holding element 45. The bearing shaft 51 is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the running rail 7. The actuator 50 is configured as a web-like projection which projects perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction and is rotatable about the axis of the rod 49 when a load is applied, as a result of which a torsional force is generated between the actuator 50 and the end 48, which ensures that the actuator 50 is reset when the adjusting force is no longer applied.

The adjusting mechanism 47 further comprises a lever 53 with a shaft 54, which shaft 54 is inserted into a receptacle 55 of the slide element 42, so that the lever 53 is rotatably mounted. The axis of rotation of the lever 53 is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sliding rail 7. Furthermore, the lever 53 has a wedge-shaped contact surface 59, wherein an acute angle formed by two converging side faces is formed facing away from the axis 54. By means of the lever 53, a movement of the locking member 56 arranged on the slide element 42 relative to the retaining element 45 can be achieved or prevented, so that the actuator 50 can be brought from the release position to the locking position and vice versa. The locking member 56 is supported on the slide element 42 and has a portion with a toothing 57, the toothing 57 cooperating with a toothing 58 on the holding element 45 when the holding element 45 is fixed in the longitudinal direction.

Fig. 15 shows the slide member 40 in an assembled position. The lever 53 is in the release position so that the actuator 50 together with the holding element 45 can be displaced relative to the slide element 42. Thus, the position of the actuator 50 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the slide rail 7 in order to set the final position of the sliding element, as already explained in the previous exemplary embodiments.

In fig. 16A, the lever 53 has pivoted and locked the holding element 45 and the actuator 50 relative to the slide element 42, since the wedge-shaped contact surface 59 moves the locking member 56 in the direction of the holding element 45, so that the toothing 57 and 58 come into form-fitting contact. The actuator 50 is located adjacent to the bracket 43. In fig. 16B, the lever 53 is again arranged in the locking position, but the actuator 50 is kept at a distance from the bracket 43, and a larger distance can be seen between the end face of the supporting shaft 51 and the bracket 43.

In fig. 17A to 17C, the lever 53 is in a release position in which the actuator 50 can be adjusted. In the release position, the retaining element 45 is displaceable relative to the locking member 56, as shown in the cross-sectional view of fig. 17C. When the lever 53 is pivoted, the actuator 50 and the holding element 45 are locked in the set position, wherein the toothing 57 of the locking member 56 latches onto the toothing 58 of the holding element 45 in a form-fitting manner, as is shown in particular in fig. 18C. By means of the toothing 57, the retaining element 45 can no longer be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the running rail 7 relative to the locking member 56.

Fig. 19 shows the position of the gliding piece 40, wherein the actuator 50 has been pivoted around an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the gliding track 7. As mentioned above, the actuator 50 is located on a rod 49, which rod 49 is fixed at one end 48 to the holding element 45 and has a bearing shaft 51 on the other side. The web-like actuator 50 can thus be rotated about the axis of the rod 49, preferably by at least 20 °, in particular by at least 30 °, so that the rod 49 mounts the actuator 50 pivotable in torsion and can move the actuator 50 back into the starting position by a restoring force. This prevents damage to the actuator 50 when the actuator 50 has to be moved over a driving element or another component in order to return to a normal functional position due to an inadvertent incorrect positioning.
