Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schließvorrichtung für Schubladen, wobei an jeder Seite der Schublade eine an der Schublade befestigte Ausziehschiene und eine an einem Möbelkorpus befestigte Tragschiene und vorzugsweise eine zwischen der Tragschiene und der Ausziehschiene ablaufende Mittelschiene vorgesehen ist und an oder zwischen den Schienen lastübertragende Laufrollen od. dgl. lagern und die Schließvorrichtung ein unter Federeinwirkung stehendes Kippsegment und einen darin eingreifenden Mitnehmerzapfen umfaßt, wobei das Kippsegment auf einem Schlitten lagert, der von einer Feder beaufschlagt wird und in der Ausziehrichtung der Schublade geradlinig verschiebbar ist.The invention relates to a locking device for drawers, on each side of the drawer a pull-out rail attached to the drawer and a mounting rail attached to a furniture body and preferably a central rail running between the mounting rail and the pull-out rail and load-carrying rollers on or between the rails od. The like. Store and the locking device comprises a spring-loaded tilting segment and a driving pin engaging therein, the tilting segment being supported on a slide which is acted upon by a spring and can be moved in a straight line in the pull-out direction of the drawer.

Moderne Schubladen sind mit einer Ausziehführungsgarnitur versehen, die beidseitig der Schublade aus einer korpusseitigen Tragschiene und einer schubladenseitigen Ausziehschiene besteht und die die Verschiebebewegung der Schublade möglichst leichtgängig machen soll. Für die Lastübertragung zwischen den schubladenseitigen Ausziehschienen und den korpusseitigen Tragschienen können Laufrollen, Kugeln oder auch Gleiter vorgesehen sein, je nachdem welche Anforderungen in bezug auf Laufruhe und Belastung an die Schublade gestellt werden.Modern drawers are equipped with a pull-out guide set, which consists of a body-side mounting rail and a drawer-side pull-out rail on both sides of the drawer and which should make the drawer's movement as easy as possible. For the load transmission between the drawer-side pull-out rails and the body-side support rails, rollers, balls or sliders can be provided, depending on the requirements placed on the drawer in terms of smoothness and load.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß geschlossene Schubladen in manchen Fällen nicht vollständig in die hintere Endstellung, das heißt in den Korpus eingefahren sind und mit ihrer Frontblende vom Möbelkorpus vorstehen. Dies kann zur Folge haben, daß jemand an der Schublade anstößt, was wiederum zur Verletzung der Person oder zur Beschädigung der Schublade führen kann.It has been shown that, in some cases, closed drawers are not fully moved into the rear end position, that is to say into the body, and protrude from the furniture body with their front panel. This can result in someone bumping into the drawer, which in turn can result in personal injury or damage to the drawer.

Das Abstehen der Frontblende der Schublade von der Möbelfront kann die Folge sein, daß die Schublade nur unachtsam und nicht zur Gänze in den Möbelkorpus eingeschoben wurde. Aber auch wenn die Schublade mit zu viel Schwung in den Möbelkorpus gestoßen wurde, kann die Schublade durch die überschüssige Energie wieder nach vorne rollen.The protrusion of the front panel of the drawer from the furniture front can result in the drawer being inserted into the furniture body only carelessly and not entirely. But even if the drawer is pushed into the furniture body with too much momentum, the drawer can roll forward again due to the excess energy.

Aus der GB-A-1 117 071 ist eine Zuhaltevorrichtung für eine Schublade bekannt, bei der ein zwischen zwei Endstellungen bewegbarer Kippteil vorgesehen ist. Der Kippteil wird von einer Schraubenfeder beaufschlagt und von dieser nach Überwindung eines Totpunktes in die jeweilige Endstellung gedrückt. Der Kippteil ist an einer Möbelseitenwand befestigt. Die Schublade weist an der Seitenwand einen Mitnehmerzapfen auf, der im Endbereich des Fahrweges der Schublade in eine Einkerbung im Kippteil eingefahren wird. Anschließend drückt der Mitnehmerzapfen den Kippteil über eine Totpunktlage, worauf der Kippteil von sich aus den Mitnehmerzapfen und somit die Schublade nach hinten zieht.A locking device for a drawer is known from GB-A-1 117 071, in which a tilting part which is movable between two end positions is provided. The tilting part is acted upon by a helical spring and is pressed into the respective end position by this after overcoming a dead center. The tilting part is attached to a side wall of the furniture. The drawer has a driver pin on the side wall, which is inserted into a notch in the tilting part in the end region of the path of the drawer. The driver pin then pushes the tilting part over a dead center position, whereupon the tilting part pulls the driver pin and thus the drawer backwards.

Aus der EP-A1-0 391 221 und der WO-A1-92/00027 sind Schließvorrichtungen bekannt, bei der die Schublade über einen längeren Weg in den Korpus hineingezogen wird. Aufgrund der bei der Möbelherstellung auftretenden Ungenauigkeiten kann es vorkommen, daß der Mitnehmerzapfen nicht immer exakt beim Kippsegment einrastet. Dieses Problem tritt insbesondere bei Vollauszügen, d. h. Ausziehführungsgarnituren mit einer Mittelschiene, die zwischen der Trag- und der Ausziehschiene gelagert ist, auf.Locking devices are known from EP-A1-0 391 221 and WO-A1-92 / 00027, in which the drawer is drawn into the body over a longer path. Due to the inaccuracies that occur in furniture manufacture, it can happen that the driver pin does not always engage exactly with the tilting segment. This problem occurs in particular with full extensions, i.e. H. Pull-out guide sets with a middle rail, which is mounted between the support and pull-out rails.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Schließvorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß der Fangbereich des Kippsegmentes für den Mitnehmerzapfen vergrößert wird.The object of the invention is to improve a locking device of the type mentioned in the introduction in that that the catch area of the tilting segment for the driver pin is increased.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß der Mitnehmerzapfen in der Ausziehrichtung der Schublade länglich ausgeführt ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that the driver pin is elongated in the pull-out direction of the drawer.

Der Mitnehmerzapfen kann stegförmig ausgebildet sein oder von zwei hintereinander angeordneten Stiften, beispielsweise in der Form eines U-Bügels gebildet werden.The driver pin can be designed in the form of a web or can be formed by two pins arranged one behind the other, for example in the form of a U-bracket.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen eingehend beschrieben.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures in the accompanying drawings.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Ansicht der schubladenrückwand der Schubladenzarge und einer Korpusseitenwand im Bereich einer Seite der Ausziehführung, die Fig. 2 zeigt ein schematisch gehaltenes Schaubild einer hinteren Ecke der Schublade, die Fig. 3 zeigt ein schematisch gehaltenes Schaubild der Korpusseitenwand und der Tragschiene mit der erfindungsgemäßen Schließvorrichtung, die Fig. 4 zeigt schaubildlich und auseinandergezogen die Teile der Schließvorrichtung, die Fig. 5 zeigt eine Unteransicht des Gehäuseteiles, die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Schließvorrichtung in der Stellung, bevor der Mitnehmerzapfen beim Kippsegment einhakt, die Fig. 7 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Schließvorrichtung mit festgehaltenem Mitnehmerzapfen in der hintersten Stellung, d. h. in der voll eingeschobenen Position der Schublade und die Fig. 8 zeigt einen vertikalschnitt durch die Tragschiene und die Schließvorrichtung.1 shows a view of the drawer rear wall of the drawer frame and a cabinet side wall in the area of one side of the pull-out guide, FIG. 2 shows a diagram of a rear corner of the drawer, and FIG. 3 shows a diagram of the cabinet side wall and the mounting rail 4 shows the parts of the locking device, FIG. 5 shows a bottom view of the housing part, FIG. 6 shows a plan view of the locking device in the position before the driving pin hooks into the tilting segment, which shows Fig. 7 shows a plan view of the locking device with a fixed driving pin in the rearmost position, i. H. in the fully inserted position of the drawer and FIG. 8 shows a vertical section through the mounting rail and the closing device.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich die Ausziehschiene 6 im Eck unterhalb des Schubladenbodens 3 neben der Schubladenseitenwand 2.In the exemplary embodiment, the pull-out rail 6 is located in the corner below the drawer bottom 3 next to the drawer side wall 2.

Am hinteren Ende ist die Ausziehschiene 6 mit einem Haken 7 versehen, mit dem sie in eine Bohrung in der Schubladenrückwand 8 eingehängt ist.At the rear end, the pull-out rail 6 is provided with a hook 7, with which it is suspended in a hole in the drawer rear wall 8.

Die Tragschiene 4 ist mittels Befestigungslaschen 14 an der Korpusseitenwand 1 befestigt, beispielsweise mit dieser verdübelt.The mounting rail 4 is fastened to the body side wall 1 by means of fastening tabs 14, for example anchored to the latter.

Zwischen der Tragschiene 4 und der Ausziehschiene 6 ist eine Mittelschiene 5 angeordnet, die relativ zu beiden Schienen 4, 6 verfahrbar ist. Zwischen den Schienen 4, 5, 6 sind beispielsweise nicht gezeigte Laufwägen mit Laufrollen angeordnet, die die Last der Schublade auf die Tragschienen 4 übertragen. Es können jedoch auch an den Schienen 4, 5, 6 gelagerte Rollen Anwendung finden. Es ist jedoch zu bemerken, daß Ausziehführungen, die mit Laufrollen versehen sind, die in Laufwagen lagern, besonders leicht gängig sind.A central rail 5 is arranged between the support rail 4 and the pull-out rail 6 and can be moved relative to both rails 4, 6. Between the rails 4, 5, 6, for example, carriages, not shown, are arranged with rollers which transmit the load of the drawer to the support rails 4. However, rollers mounted on the rails 4, 5, 6 can also be used. However, it should be noted that pull-out guides which are provided with rollers which are stored in carriages are particularly easy to move.

Beim hinteren Ende der Ausziehschiene 6 ist ein Mitnehmerzapfen 9 angeordnet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Mitnehmerzapfen 9 als U-Bügel mit zwei nach unten abragenden Stiften 9' ausgebildet.A driver pin 9 is arranged at the rear end of the pull-out rail 6. In the exemplary embodiment, the driver pin 9 is designed as a U-bracket with two pins 9 'projecting downwards.

Beim hinteren Ende der Tragschiene 4 ist der Gehäuseteil 10 der Schließvorrichtung befestigt.At the rear end of the mounting rail 4, the housing part 10 of the locking device is attached.

Im Gehäuseteil 10 lagert ein Schlitten 12, der in einer als Nut ausgebildeten Führungsbahn 15 des Gehäuseteiles 10 verfahrbar ist. Der Schlitten 12 ist dabei in der Führungsbahn 15 mittels Zapfen 16, 17 geführt. Einer der Führungszapfen 16 dient dabei als Lagerzapfen für das Kippsegment 11.In the housing part 10 there is a slide 12 which can be moved in a guideway 15 of the housing part 10 designed as a groove. The carriage 12 is guided in the guideway 15 by means of pins 16, 17. One of the guide pins 16 serves as a bearing pin for the tilting segment 11.

Am Schlitten 12 greift eine Zugfeder 13 an, die andererseits an einem Steg 18 des Gehäuseteiles 10 befestigt ist.A tension spring 13 engages on the slide 12 and, on the other hand, is fastened to a web 18 of the housing part 10.

Im vorderen Bereich der Führungsbahn 15 ist neben dieser und in der Höhe versetzt am Gehäuseteil 10 eine Steuerkurve 19 ausgebildet.In the front area of the guideway 15, a control cam 19 is formed next to the guideway 15 and offset in height on the housing part 10.

Bei vollständig in den Möbelkorpus eingeschobener Schublade befindet sich das Kippsegment 11 beim hinteren Ende der Führungsbahn 15 und der Mitnehmerzapfen 9 ist in der Aufnahmekerbe 20 des Kippsegmentes 11 eingerastet.When the drawer is pushed completely into the furniture body, the tilting segment 11 is located at the rear end of the guide track 15 and the driving pin 9 is locked in the receiving notch 20 of the tilting segment 11.

Beim öffnen der Schublade wird das Kippsegment 11 mit dem Schlitten 12 in der Richtung des Pfeiles in der Fig. 7 nach rechts bewegt. Ein Verdrehen des Kippsegmentes 11 wird dabei durch die Steuerbahn 21 am Gehäuseteil 10 verhindert, sodaß das Kippsegment 11 geradlinig mit dem Schlitten 12 verschoben wird.When the drawer is opened, the tilting segment 11 is moved to the right with the slide 12 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7. Rotation of the tilting segment 11 is prevented by the control track 21 on the housing part 10, so that the tilting segment 11 is moved in a straight line with the slide 12.

Kommt das Kippsegment 11 auf die Höhe der Steuerkurve 19, wird es vom Mitnehmerzapfen 9 nach außen gedrückt und rastet, wie in der Fig. 6 gezeigt, hinter der Steuerkurve 19 ein, sodaß der Bausatz bestehend aus Schlitten 12 und Kippsegment 11 von der Feder 13 nicht nach hinten gezogen werden kann.If the tilting segment 11 comes up to the height of the control curve 19, it is pressed outwards by the driver pin 9 and, as shown in FIG. 6, engages behind the control curve 19, so that the kit consisting of slide 12 and tilting segment 11 is spring 13 cannot be pulled back.

Dabei wird der Mitnehmerzapfen 9 freigegeben und die Schublade kann frei aus dem Möbelkorpus herausgezogen werden.The driver pin 9 is released and the drawer can be freely pulled out of the furniture body.

Wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 6 und 7 ersichtlich, ist der Mitnehmerzapfen 9 praktisch ein längliches Teil, auch wenn es sich um keinen durchgehenden Steg, sondern um einen U-Bügel mit zwei Stiften 9' handelt.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 6 and 7, the driving pin 9 is practically an elongated part, even if it is not a continuous web, but a U-bracket with two pins 9 '.

Die Aufnahmekerbe 20 des Kippsegmentes 11 wird von einem kastenförmigen Rand 22 begrenzt, der in der Längsrichtung, d. h. in der Verschieberichtung der Schublade, die in den Fig. 6 und 7 strichpunktiert angedeutet ist, den Mitnehmerzapfen 9 satt aufnimmt, die jedoch wesentlich breiter ist als der Mitnehmerzapfen 9 selbst. Dadurch ergibt sich der in der Fig. 6 eingezeichnete Fangbereich FB für den Mitnehmerzapfen. Solange sich der Mitnehmerzapfen 9 innerhalb des Fangbereiches FB befindet, rastet er in der Einrastkerbe 20 des Kippsegmentes 11 ein. Dies macht es möglich, bei der Montage der Ausziehführungsgarnitur mit gewissen Toleranzen zu arbeiten, ohne die Funktionssicherheit der Einzugsführung in Frage zu stellen.The receiving notch 20 of the tilting segment 11 is delimited by a box-shaped edge 22, which in the longitudinal direction, i. H. 6 and 7, which takes up the driver pin 9, but which is considerably wider than the driver pin 9 itself. This results in the catch area FB shown in FIG. 6 for the driver pin . As long as the driver pin 9 is within the catch area FB, it engages in the notch 20 of the tilting segment 11. This makes it possible to work with certain tolerances when installing the pull-out guide set without questioning the functional reliability of the feed guide.

Das Kippsegment 11 ist noch mit einem federnden Lappen 23 versehen, der, falls das Kippsegment 11 mit dem Schlitten 12 bei ausgezogener Schublade versehentlich nach hinten gerutscht ist, vom Mitnehmerzapfen 9 überfahren werden kann, worauf es möglich ist, das Kippsegment 11 mit dem Schlitten 12 in die in der Fig. 6 gezeigte Stellung nach vorne zu ziehen. Bei der nächsten Einschubbewegung der Schublade ist die Schließvorrichtung wieder voll funktionsfähig.The tilting segment 11 is also provided with a resilient tab 23 which, if the tilting segment 11 with the slide 12 has accidentally slid backwards when the drawer is pulled out, can be run over by the driving pin 9, whereupon it is possible to tilt the tilting segment 11 with the slide 12 to pull forward into the position shown in FIG. 6. The locking device is fully functional again the next time the drawer is inserted.
