Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such hinges are in numerous different embodiments, in particular as furniture hinges known These hinges have one with the body of a piece of furniture Body fitting body to be connected and one with the door, flap etc. connecting door fitting body. The fittings are usually screwed to the body or the door or flap. Corpus and Door fitting body connected by a double lever mechanism, which causes the lever to pivot to a defined pivot assignment the door or flap leads.
  • the hinge has an opening device through which one in Direction of opening of the door fitting body is exerted force, the Opening device is designed such that the acting in the opening direction Force acts at least in the closed position of the hinge.
  • the piece of furniture also has a touch-Latsch fitting, which locks the door or flap in the closed position, which means that the door or flap is permanently open is prevented.
  • the Touch-Latsch fitting or a separate spring element is not must work against a force acting in the closing direction and beyond that the opening movement of the door required for the Touch-Laces function or flap realized by the opening device provided in the hinge becomes.
  • the locking means that the door or flap is permanently open of the Touch-Latsch fitting is prevented in the closed position.
  • the hinge can have a lever which is pivotable on the body fitting body and is hinged to the door fitting body, the opening device is arranged such that the force acts on the lever.
  • the opening device can be used as a spring element or as a piston-cylinder unit be designed to counteract a force acting in the direction of insertion of the piston Power opposed.
  • the hinge has a first and a second Has lever, both about parallel pivot axes both on the door fitting body as well as hinged to the body fitting body, the Levers are arranged such that the pivoting movement of the first lever is one Pivotal movement of the door fitting body is superimposed.
  • the opening device can be arranged fixed on the body fitting body his. In principle, however, it is also possible to attach the opening device to the Arrange door fitting body, with the requirement that at least in the Area of the closed position of the hinge on the door fitting body one in Opening force is exerted.
  • the opening device can with be screwed to the body fitting body.
  • the opening device is a leaf spring which extends substantially parallel to the body fitting body and the in the end region is curved with which it contacts the lever occurs.
  • the leaf spring preferably extends parallel to the base of the Body fitting body and thus takes up relatively little space.
  • the leaf spring is bent in its end region in such a way that it at least in the area of the closed position of the hinge on the lever in the opening direction exerts force.
  • the opening device on the lever one in the swivel range from the closed position to an opening angle of 8 ° in the opening direction exerts force. This will do the above for the Touch Laces function required opening movement of the door or flap guaranteed. The After this opening movement, the operator can reach behind the door or flap and open. At larger opening angles, the spring element acts according to this Embodiment not on the lever, so that the door or flap can move freely is.
  • a particularly compact design is achieved in that a first and a second levers are provided, the first lever being through parallel side surfaces has limited recess in which the second lever is movable and that the opening device acts on the edges of one or both side surfaces.
  • the second lever thus moves partially within that of the first Lever limited recess, which achieves a space-saving design becomes.
  • the spring element which is preferably designed as a leaf spring, acts on one or both of the side surfaces of the first lever, causing said opening force is caused at least in the area of the closed position of the hinge.
  • the second lever comes into contact with the Opening device does not take place over the entire swivel angle of the hinge. So that is on the second lever through the opening device during no force exerted over the entire swivel angle. This has a recess on, so that no contact with the preferred over the entire swivel angle takes the form of a leaf spring opening device.
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of a body fitting body 20 and one Door fitting body 22 having hinge 10. This is in Figure 1, below shown in a perspective view. Between these pictures are sectional views of the hinge 10 according to the section line A-A in Figure 1, above, which show this in different opening angles.
  • the sectional view shown below shows the hinge 10 in an almost closed position Position.
  • the hinge has a first lever 30 and one second lever 40 on both parallel pivot axes both with the door fitting body and also with the body fitting body 20 in connection stand.
  • the leaf spring 50 is arranged, which in its end region shown on the right in FIG. 1 is curved. How out As can be seen in the sectional illustration shown below in FIG. 1, the curved one acts End portion of the leaf spring 50 on the first lever 30 in such a way that exerted on this force acting in the opening direction of the hinge 10 becomes.
  • the hinge 10 further shows the middle of the sectional views open position. It can be seen here that the leaf spring 50 is now its original, not in the cocked position and on none of the levers 30, 40 acts.
  • the door fitting body 22 is now freely movable.
  • the top of the in FIG. 1 shows sectional views of the hinge 10 in a further open position.
  • the leaf spring 50 occurs only in the area between the closed position and an opening angle of 8 ° in contact with the first lever 30. About that in addition, the leaf spring 50 does not act on the levers 30, 40.
  • FIG. 2 shows perspective representations of the hinge 10 according to the invention in sectional views.
  • the same parts are provided with the same reference symbols here as in Figure 1.
  • the special embodiment of the lever 30, 40th seen.
  • the lever 30 has parallel side surfaces 32, of which in FIG. 1 only one is shown due to the sectional view. These are through the further Surface 34 connected together.
  • the surfaces 32 of the lever 30 form a recess, within which the second lever 40 is movable. This will create a compact design achieved.
  • the leaf spring 50 acts on the edges of the side surfaces 32 of the first lever 30. 2 shows an opening state of the hinge 10 shown in which an action of the leaf spring 50 on the side surfaces 32 of the first Lever 30 no longer takes place, since the opening angle of 8 ° has already been exceeded is.
  • Figure 3 shows this in a view from below and in a sectional view again Hinge 10 according to the invention.
  • the leaf spring 50 extends as from Figure 3, seen above, almost over the entire width of the body fitting body 20. It acts on the edges of the side surfaces 32 in its curved end region of the first lever 30.
  • the leaf spring 50 has the recess 52, which ensures that the second lever 40 is not in contact with the leaf spring 50 comes so that when the opening angle of 8 ° is exceeded with none of the levers 30, 40 comes into contact with the leaf spring 50. In this area it is Hinge 10 freely movable.
  • the second lever 40 can have a recess have, which causes that there is no contact with the leaf spring 50.
  • FIG. 3 shows the hinge 10 according to the invention in an almost closed Position in which the bent end portion of the leaf spring 50 on the side surfaces 32 of the first lever 30 acts, whereby a pivoting movement of the first Lever 30 and thus an opening of the door or flap is caused.
  • FIG. 4 finally shows the leaf spring in a top view and in a side view 50 of the hinge according to the invention and again illustrates the curved End region of the leaf spring 50 and the arrangement of the recess 52.
  • the inventive design of the hinge ensures that in a range of 0 ° (closed position) up to an opening angle of 8 ° force is exerted on the hinge in the opening direction. This leads to, that when unlocking a Touch-Latsch fitting due to the execution the hinge a slight opening of the door or flap takes place, causing a Reaching behind by hand is easily possible.
