Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beschlag zum Verbinden eines klappbaren Möbelstücks, insbesondere eines Klappbettes, mit einer Wand od. dgl., welcher einen Halteteil sowie einen wandseitigen Befestigungsteil mit einem Steg und einer an der der Wand abliegenden Seite mit dem Halteteil parallel zu der Wand wenigstens teilweise überlappenden Ansatzfläche aufweist, wobei der Halteteil an wenigstens zwei Punkten der Ansatzfläche mit dem Befestigungsteil drehfest verbindbar ist, der Befestigungsteil zur Positionierung des Halteteils an dem Steg mit einer Führungsfläche für den Halteteil versehen ist und an dem Halteteil Lagerungen für das Möbelstück, für wenigstens ein Schwenkfußgestänge des Möbelstücks und/oder für Vorrichtungen zur Dämpfung bzw. Gewichtsentlastung bei der Schwenkbewegung des Möbelstücks vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a fitting for connecting a foldable piece of furniture, in particular a folding bed, to a wall or the like, which has a holding part and a wall-side fastening part with a web and a side remote from the wall with the holding part parallel to the wall, at least partially has overlapping attachment surface, the holding part being rotatably connectable to the fastening part at at least two points of the attachment surface, the fastening part for positioning the holding part on the web being provided with a guide surface for the holding part and bearings for the piece of furniture on the holding part, for at least one swivel foot linkage of the piece of furniture and / or for devices for damping or relieving weight during the pivoting movement of the piece of furniture are provided.

Insbesondere bei beengten räumlichen Verhältnissen werden Möbelstücke, die jeweils nur vorübergehend in Gebrauch genommen werden, aus Gründen der Platzersparnis klappbar ausgebildet. So sind etwa Klapptische ebenso gebräuchlich wie sogenannte "Schrankbetten", die im Innern schrankartiger Gehäuse angelenkt sind und nach Gebrauch in das Gehäuse hochgeschwenkt werden können, wo sie für die Dauer ihrer Nichtbenutzung platzsparend untergebracht sind. Zur Verbindung der klappbaren Möbelstücke mit den zugehörigen Wänden dienen entsprechende Beschläge.In particular where space is limited, pieces of furniture that are only used temporarily are designed to be foldable in order to save space. For example, folding tables are just as common as so-called "wall beds", which are hinged inside cabinet-like housings and can be swung up into the housing after use, where they are housed in a space-saving manner for the duration of their non-use. Appropriate fittings are used to connect the foldable pieces of furniture to the associated walls.

Etwa im Falle von Klappbetten ist an diesen Beschlägen neben einer Drehlagerung für den Bettrahmen in der Regel eine Lagerung für ein Gestänge vorgesehen, mittels dessen die schwenkbaren Füße des Klappbettes beim Ein- bzw. Ausklappen des Bettrahmens in eine Stellung parallel bzw. senkrecht zu diesem verschwenkt werden. Darüber hinaus kommen insbesondere bei verhältnismäßig schweren Möbelstücken Hilfsvorrichtungen zum Einsatz, die beim Ausklappen des Möbelstücks dessen Bewegung dämpfen und sein Einklappen durch Gewichtsentlastung erleichtern. Auch derartige Zusatzteile, etwa Gasfedern, sind an einer Seite an den Beschlägen gelagert.For example, in the case of folding beds, in addition to a rotary bearing for the bed frame, storage for a linkage is provided on these fittings, by means of which the pivotable feet of the folding bed are pivoted into a position parallel or perpendicular to the bed frame when the bed frame is folded in or out will. In addition, auxiliary devices are used in particular in the case of relatively heavy pieces of furniture, which dampen the movement of the piece of furniture when it is unfolded and facilitate its folding in by relieving the weight. Such additional parts, such as gas springs, are also supported on one side on the fittings.

Zur Vereinfachung und Beschleunigung der Montage am Einbauort werden Klappbetten seitens des Herstellers mit vormontierten und mit den beschlagseitigen Lagerstellen der Gasfeder und des Schwenkgestänges verbundenen Beschlägen geliefert.To simplify and accelerate the assembly on site, folding beds are supplied by the manufacturer with pre-assembled fittings connected to the fitting-side bearing points of the gas spring and the swivel linkage.

Damit ein leichtgängiges Verschwenken des Klappbettes gewährleistet werden kann sowie zur Vermeidung von Beschädigungen des Klappbettes bzw. des Bettschrankes infolge einer Verkantung des Bettrahmens im Schrankinnern ist der Bettrahmen im Bettschrank exakt auszurichten. Dies geschieht durch entsprechende Justierung und anschließende Fixierung der Beschläge an den Schrankwänden.This ensures that the folding bed swivels smoothly and to avoid damage to the folding bed or the bed cabinet as a result of a tilting of the bed frame inside the cabinet, the bed frame in the bed cabinet must be aligned exactly. This is done by appropriate adjustment and subsequent fixation of the fittings on the cabinet walls.

Eine exakte Montage aber stößt bei den herkömmlichen Beschlägen auf große Schwierigkeiten.Exact installation, however, encounters great difficulties with conventional fittings.

So ist aus der DE-A-20 56 426 ein gattungsgemäßer Beschlag bekannt, an welchem als Befestigungsteil eine nach unten offene Lagertasche verwendet wird. In diese ist bei der Montage eine als Halteteil dienende Winkelplatte von unten her einzuschieben. Anschließend wird die Winkelplatte des vorbekannten Beschlages mit einem Träger für das Klappbett verschraubt.From DE-A-20 56 426 a generic fitting is known, on which a storage pocket open at the bottom is used as the fastening part. During installation, an angle plate serving as a holding part is to be inserted into this from below. Then the angle plate of the known fitting is screwed to a bracket for the folding bed.

Derartige Beschläge sind beim Einbau des betreffenden Klappbettes nachteiligerweise ausgesprochen handhabungsunfreundlich: zum einen läßt sich die Winkelplatte lediglich von der für den Monteur nicht ohne weiteres einsehbaren Unterseite der Lagertasche her in diese einführen. Weiterhin muß die Winkelplatte bis zu ihrer Fixierung an dem Träger für das Klappbett gegen die Wirkung der Gewichtskraft abgestützt werden. Der letztgenannte Umstand macht es nahezu unmöglich, die beiden Winkelplatten des Klappbettes im Falle des bekannten Beschlages in Baueinheit mit dem Bettrahmen und ggf. verschiedenen Anbauteilen, wie etwa Gewichtsdämpfungsfedern, zu montieren. Aufgrund des verhältnismäßig hohen Eigengewichts der Gesamtanordnung läßt sich diese nämlich allenfalls mit großen Anstrengungen in ihrer Montagelage ausrichten, ehe dann die Verbindungen mit dem Träger des Klappbetts hergestellt werden können.Such fittings are disadvantageously extremely unfriendly when installing the folding bed in question: on the one hand, the angle plate can only be inserted into the storage bag from the underside of the storage bag, which is not readily visible to the installer. Furthermore, the angle plate must be supported against the effect of the weight force until it is fixed to the support for the folding bed. The latter circumstance makes it almost impossible to mount the two angle plates of the folding bed in the case of the known fitting in a structural unit with the bed frame and possibly various attachments, such as weight damping springs. Because of the relatively high dead weight of the overall arrangement, it can only be used with make great efforts in their assembly position before the connections can be made with the carrier of the folding bed.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Beschlag bereitzustellen, der eine vereinfachte Montage klappbarer Möbelstücke erlaubt.The invention is based on the object of providing a fitting which allows simplified assembly of foldable pieces of furniture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß an einem Beschlag der eingangs genannten Art der Befestigungsteil als bügelartige Befestigungsplatte ausgebildet ist, wobei der Befestigungsteil an wenigstens zwei Punkten des Steges mit der Wand verbindbar ist, der Steg mit der Führungsfläche in Einbaulage den Halteteil an dessen in Schwerkraftrichtung nach unten weisenden Fläche abstützend untergreift und die Ansatzfläche von dem Steg vorkragt. Aufgrund seiner Ausbildung als bügelartige Platte mit einer von dem Steg vorkragenden Ansatzfläche ist der Befestigungsteil erfindungsgemäßer Beschläge klein bauend und entsprechend einfach handhabbar. Mit seiner den Halteteil untergreifenden Führungsfläche sichert der Steg des Befestigungsteils den Halteteil bereits während der Montage gegen ein unerwünschtes Verrutschen bzw. Absinken in Schwerkraftrichtung. Gleichzeitig ergibt sich zwischen der Wand, an welcher das klappbare Möbelstück anzubringen ist und der Ansatzfläche des Befestigungsteils ein für den Monteur gut einsehbarer, weil nach oben offener, Einschub für den Halteteil.This object is achieved in that the fastening part is designed as a bracket-like fastening plate on a fitting of the type mentioned at the outset, the fastening part being connectable to the wall at at least two points of the web, the web with the guide surface in the installed position, the holding part at its in Under the gravitational direction downward-facing surface and the shoulder area protrudes from the web. Because of its design as a bow-like plate with a projection surface projecting from the web, the fastening part of the fittings according to the invention is small in size and accordingly easy to handle. With its guide surface under the holding part, the web of the fastening part secures the holding part against undesired slipping or sinking in the direction of gravity already during assembly. At the same time, between the wall on which the foldable piece of furniture is to be attached and the attachment surface of the fastening part there is an insert for the holding part which is clearly visible to the installer because it is open at the top.

Derartige, zweiteilige Beschläge erlauben es, am Einbauort Möbelstücke, insbesondere Klappbetten, mit vormontierten Beschlagteilen bereitzustellen, deren Lagerungen bereits herstellerseitig mit den jeweiligen Lagereinrichtungen etwa an dem Bettrahmen, dem Schwenkfußgestänge und/oder der Gasfeder verbunden worden sind. Gleichzeitig muß zur exakten Positionierung und Fixierung des Klappbettes im Inneren des Bettschrankes nicht die gesamte Klappbettanordnung gehandhabt werden. Es reicht vielmehr aus, lediglich die als Befestigungsteile dienenden und nicht am Klappbett vormontierten Beschlagteile beispielsweise unter Zuhilfenahme einer Einbaulehre an den Innenwänden des Bettschrankes zu justieren und zu befestigen. Bei der Montage von Klappbetten kann anschließend die gesamte Klappbettanordnung mit den daran vormontierten Halteteilen der Beschläge an die jeweiligen Befestigungsteile angesetzt, mittels dieser zumindest vorläufig abgestützt und schließlich mit diesen verbunden werden. Aufgrund der an den Befestigungsteilen vorgesehenen Einrichtungen zur Positionierung der Halteteile wird die gesamte Klappbettanordnung beim Ansetzen der Halteteile an die justierten Befestigungsteile ohne weiteres exakt ausgerichtet.Such two-part fittings allow pieces of furniture, in particular folding beds to be provided with preassembled fitting parts, the bearings of which have already been connected by the manufacturer to the respective bearing devices, for example on the bed frame, the swivel foot linkage and / or the gas spring. At the same time, the entire folding bed arrangement does not have to be handled for the exact positioning and fixing of the folding bed in the interior of the bed cabinet. Rather, it is sufficient to merely adjust and fasten the fitting parts serving as fastening parts and not preassembled on the folding bed, for example with the aid of an installation gauge, on the inner walls of the bed cabinet. When installing folding beds, the entire folding bed arrangement with the retaining parts of the fittings preassembled thereon can then be attached to the respective fastening parts, at least temporarily supported by means of these and finally connected to them. Because of the devices provided on the fastening parts for positioning the holding parts, the entire folding bed arrangement is easily exactly aligned when the holding parts are attached to the adjusted fastening parts.

Nachdem der Befestigungsteil an wenigstens zwei Punkten des Steges mit der Wand sowie an wenigstens zwei Punkten der Ansatzfläche mit dem Halteteil verbindbar ist, kann das Klappbett mit einem Minimum an Befestigungseinrichtungen ausgerichtet und an den Wänden des Bettschrankes festgelegt werden. Die dargelegte Ausbildung des Befestigungsteiles erlaubt es, beim Einsetzen der Klappbettanordnung in den Bettschrank die am Klappbett vormontierten Halteteile in den zwischen der Ansatzfläche des Befestigungsteiles und der Schrankwand jeweils verbleibenden Spalt einzuschieben. In dieser Position sind die Halteteile und somit auch die gesamte Klappbettanordnung auch in Querrichtung zu der Schrankwand festgelegt. Um ein Schlackerspiel des eingesetzten Halteteiles in dem zwischen der Ansatzfläche und der Wand verbleibenden Spalt zu vermeiden, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Überstand, den der Steg quer zur Verschwenkbewegung des Möbelstücks gegenüber der Ansatzfläche aufweist und der die Spaltweite zwischen Schrankwand und Ansatzfläche festlegt, in etwa der Dicke des Halteteiles entspricht.After the fastening part can be connected to the wall at at least two points of the web and to the holding part at at least two points of the attachment surface, the folding bed can be aligned with a minimum of fastening devices and fixed to the walls of the bed cabinet. The stated design of the fastening part makes it possible, when inserting the folding bed arrangement into the bed cabinet, to hold the pre-assembled holding parts on the folding bed in the between the attachment surface of the fastening part and insert the remaining gap into the wall unit. In this position, the holding parts and thus the entire folding bed arrangement are also fixed in the transverse direction to the cabinet wall. In order to avoid a slag play of the holding part used in the gap remaining between the attachment surface and the wall, it is expedient if the protrusion which the web has transversely to the pivoting movement of the piece of furniture relative to the attachment surface and which defines the gap width between the cabinet wall and the attachment surface in corresponds approximately to the thickness of the holding part.

Ebenfalls im Sinne einer Montagevereinfachung ist im Falle einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Beschlages vorgesehen, daß die Ansatzfläche zur Verbindung mit dem Halteteil an zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordneten Befestigungslappen jeweils eine Bohrung aufweist, welche in der Sollage des Halteteils mit jeweils einer zugeordneten Bohrung an dem Halteteil fluchten.Also in the sense of simplifying assembly, in the case of a preferred embodiment of the fitting according to the invention it is provided that the attachment surface for connection to the holding part on two spaced-apart fastening tabs each has a bore, which in the desired position of the holding part each has an associated hole on the holding part swear.

Weist der Steg quer zu der Verschwenkrichtung des Möbelstücks gegenüber der Ansatzfläche beidseitig einen jeweils eine Führungsfläche bildenden Überstand auf, so kann eine einzige Ausführungsform der Befestigungsteile sowohl an die rechte als auch an die linke Wand angeschlagen werden. Die sich aus der Rechts-links-Verwendbarkeit der Befestigungsteile ergebenden Vorteile für die Lagerhaltung der Beschlagteile liegen ebenso auf der Hand wie die Vereinfachung der Montagearbeiten, bei denen nun nicht mehr darauf geachtet werden muß, welcher Wand des Bettschrankes welche Ausführungsform von Befestigungsteilen zuzuordnen ist.If the web has a protrusion forming a guide surface on both sides transversely to the pivoting direction of the furniture piece relative to the attachment surface, then a single embodiment of the fastening parts can be attached to both the right and the left wall. The advantages resulting from the right-left usability of the fastening parts for the storage of the fitting parts are as obvious as the simplification of the assembly work, in which it is no longer necessary to pay attention to which wall of the bed cabinet which embodiment of fastening parts can be assigned to.

Insbesondere bei verhältnismäßig schweren Möbelstücken empfiehlt es sich, Beschläge zu verwenden, deren Halteteil nicht nur an dem zugehörigen Befestigungsteil befestigt wird, sondern darüber hinaus auch unmittelbar mit der Wand verbindbar ist.Particularly in the case of relatively heavy pieces of furniture, it is advisable to use fittings whose holding part is not only fastened to the associated fastening part, but also can be connected directly to the wall.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand schematischer Darstellungen eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of schematic representations of an exemplary embodiment.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Beschlages 1 umfaßt einen als Befestigungsbügel ausgebildeten Befestigungsteil 2 sowie einen als Lagerplatte ausgebildeten Halteteil 3. Der Beschlag 1 dient zur Befestigung eines Klappbettes 4 an einer nicht dargestellten Wand eines Bettschrankes. Das Klappbett 4 wird an einem Bettrahmen 5 mittels eines Lagerauges 6 an einer Lagerachse 7 der Lagerplatte 3 drehbar gehalten. Die Lagerplatte 3 weist außerdem eine Lagerachse 8 für ein Schwenkfußgestänge 9 sowie eine Lagerachse 10 für eine Gasfeder 11 auf. An ihren der Lagerplatte 3 abgewandten und in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellten Enden sind das Schwenkfußgestänge 9 sowie die Gasfeder 11 an dem Bettrahmen 5 gelagert. Der Befestigungsbügel 2 ist mittels Schraubverbindungen 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 an der nicht dargestellten Seitenwand des Bettschrankes befestigt. Die Schraubverbindungen 15, 16 dienen dabei gleichzeitig zur Befestigung der Lagerplatte 3, die darüber hinaus noch mittels Schraubverbindungen 17, 18 an der Wand festgelegt ist.The embodiment of a fitting 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a fastening part 2 designed as a fastening bracket and a holding part 3 designed as a bearing plate. The fitting 1 serves to fasten a folding bed 4 to a wall of a bed cabinet, not shown. The folding bed 4 is rotatably held on a bed frame 5 by means of a bearing eye 6 on a bearing axis 7 of the bearing plate 3. The bearing plate 3 also has a bearing axis 8 for a swivel foot linkage 9 and a bearing axis 10 for a gas spring 11. At their ends facing away from the bearing plate 3 and not shown in FIG. 1, the swivel foot linkage 9 and the gas spring 11 are mounted on the bed frame 5. The mounting bracket 2 is fastened by means of screw connections 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 to the side wall of the bed cabinet, not shown. The screw connections 15, 16 serve at the same time for fastening the bearing plate 3, which is also fixed to the wall by means of screw connections 17, 18.

Wie den Fign. 2 und 3 zu entnehmen ist, weist der Befestigungsbügel 2 einen Steg 19 mit Bohrungen 12a, 13a, 14a, sowie eine Ansatzfläche 20 mit Bohrungen 15a, 16a auf. Die Materialstärke des Steges 19 übersteigt die Materialstärke der Ansatzfläche 20. Infolgedessen überragt der Steg die Ansatzfläche 20 in Querrichtung nach beiden Seiten mit einem Überstand um jeweils den Betrag d.As the fig. 2 and 3, the mounting bracket 2 has a web 19 with bores 12a, 13a, 14a, and an attachment surface 20 with bores 15a, 16a. The material thickness of the web 19 exceeds the material thickness of the attachment surface 20. As a result, the web projects beyond the attachment surface 20 in the transverse direction on both sides with an overhang by the amount d.

Am Übergang zwischen dem Steg 19 und der Ansatzfläche 20 ergeben sich so senkrecht zu der Ansatzfläche 20 verlaufende Führungsflächen 21, 22. Die Führungsflächen 21, 22 des Befestigungsbügels 2 sind in ihrer Formgebung auf die Außenkontur der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Lagerplatte 3 abgestimmt.At the transition between the web 19 and the attachment surface 20 there are guide surfaces 21, 22 extending perpendicular to the attachment surface 20. The shape of the guide surfaces 21, 22 of the mounting bracket 2 are matched to the outer contour of the bearing plate 3 shown in FIG. 4.

Zum Einbau in einen Bettschrank wird das Klappbett 4 seitens des Herstellers mit vormontierter Lagerplatte 3 angeliefert. Dabei sind der Bettrahmen 5, das Schwenkfußgestänge 9 sowie die Gasfeder 11 an den Lagerachsen 7, 8, 10 mit der Lagerplatte 3 verbunden. Bei der Montage des Klappbettes 4 wird zunächst an beiden Wänden des betreffenden Bettschrankes jeweils ein Befestigungsbügel 2 angebracht. Dies geschieht zweckmäßigerweise unter Zuhilfenahme einer Einbaulehre, die die Position der Schraubverbindungen 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 an den einander gegenüberliegenden Schrankwänden vorgibt. Mit der jeweiligen Wand verschraubt werden die Befestigungsbügel 2 zunächst lediglich an den Bohrungen 12a, 13a, 14a. Nach der Fixierung der Befestigungsbügel 2 kann die aus zwei Lagerplatten 3, dem Bettrahmen 5, dem Schwenkfußgestänge 9 sowie der Gasfeder 11 bestehende Anordnung in das Schrank innere eingesetzt werden. Dabei werden die Lagerplatten 3 jeweils mit einer Seitenfläche 23 an die Führungsfläche 21 bzw. an die Führungsfläche 22 der mit den Wänden verschraubten Befestigungsbügel 2 angesetzt. Infolge ihrer Formgebung wirken dabei die Führungsflächen 21, 22 als Führungen für die Seitenflächen 23 der Lagerplatten 3. Außerdem überdecken die Befestigungsbügel 2 die Lagerplatten 3 mit ihren Ansatzflächen 20. Wie Fig. 5 zeigt, entspricht die Dicke der Lagerplatten 3 dem Überstand der Stege und somit der Weite des Spaltes, der sich an den montierten Befestigungsbügeln 2 jeweils zwischen der Wand des Bettschrankes und der Ansatzfläche 20 ergibt. Infolgedessen können die Lagerplatten 3 mit ihren Seitenflächen 23 entlang den Führungsflächen 21, 22 der Befestigungsbügel 2 verschoben werden und sind dabei auch in Querrichtung zu den Seitenwänden des Bettschrankes spielfrei geführt.For installation in a bed cabinet, the folding bed 4 is supplied by the manufacturer with a pre-assembled bearing plate 3. The bed frame 5, the swivel foot linkage 9 and the gas spring 11 on the bearing axles 7, 8, 10 are connected to the bearing plate 3. When installing the folding bed 4, a mounting bracket 2 is first attached to both walls of the bed cabinet concerned. This is expediently carried out with the aid of an installation gauge which specifies the position of the screw connections 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 on the cabinet walls lying opposite one another. The fastening brackets 2 are initially screwed to the respective wall only at the bores 12a, 13a, 14a. After fixing the mounting bracket 2, the arrangement consisting of two bearing plates 3, the bed frame 5, the swivel foot linkage 9 and the gas spring 11 can be inserted into the interior of the cabinet. The bearing plates 3 are each attached with a side surface 23 to the guide surface 21 or to the guide surface 22 of the fastening bracket 2 screwed to the walls. Due to their shape, the guide surfaces 21, 22 act as guides for the side surfaces 23 of the bearing plates 3. In addition, the mounting brackets 2 cover the bearing plates 3 with their attachment surfaces 20. As shown in FIG. 5, the thickness of the bearing plates 3 corresponds to the protrusion of the webs and Consequently the width of the gap that results on the mounted mounting brackets 2 between the wall of the bed cabinet and the attachment surface 20. As a result, the bearing plates 3 can be moved with their side surfaces 23 along the guide surfaces 21, 22 of the mounting bracket 2 and are also guided without play in the transverse direction to the side walls of the bed cabinet.

Wenn die Bohrungen 15a und 16a der Befestigungsbügel 2 mit den Bohrungen 15b und 16b der Lagerplatten 3 fluchten, sind die Lagerplatten 3 und somit die daran angeschlagene Klappbettanordnung exakt ausgerichtet. In dieser Position können die Lagerplatten 3 mittels der Schraubverbindungen 15, 16 mit den Befestigungsbügeln 2 verschraubt und an den Schrankwänden fixiert werden. Sofern es das Gewicht des Klappbettes erfordert, können die Lagerplatten 3 an den Bohrungen 17a, 18a zusätzlich mit den Wänden verschraubt werden.When the bores 15a and 16a of the mounting bracket 2 are aligned with the bores 15b and 16b of the bearing plates 3, the bearing plates 3 and thus the folding bed arrangement attached to them are exactly aligned. In this position, the bearing plates 3 can be screwed to the mounting brackets 2 by means of the screw connections 15, 16 and fixed to the cabinet walls. If the weight of the folding bed requires it, the bearing plates 3 can additionally be screwed to the walls at the bores 17a, 18a.
