Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Korpuselement, insbesondere einen Schrank, eine Kommode oder dergleichen, mit einer Klappe, durch die das Korpuselement verschließbar ist. Unter dem Begriff "Klappe" sind beliebige Verschlusselemente zu verstehen, die um beliebige Achsen, beispielsweise um horizontal oder vertikal verlaufende Achsen schwenkbar gelagert sind.The present invention relates to a body element, in particular a cabinet, a chest of drawers or the like, with a flap, through which the body element is closable. The term "flap" is to be understood as meaning any closure elements which are pivotably mounted about arbitrary axes, for example about horizontal or vertical axes.

Aus der FR 2065203 ist ein Korpuselement mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Das aus dieser Druckschrift bekannte Korpuselement weist eine Klappe auf, durch die das Korpuselement verschließbar ist sowie einen Stützarm, der in einem seiner Endbereiche mit der Klappe unmittelbar in Verbindung steht und der in seinem anderen Endbereich mittels eines Scharniers schwenkbar gelagert ist.From the FR 2065203 a body element with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known. The known from this document body member has a flap through which the body member is closable and a support arm which is in one of its end portions with the flap directly in communication and which is pivotally mounted in its other end by means of a hinge.

Auf der Oberseite des Korpuselementes ist schwenkbar mittels einer Montageplatte eine Gasfeder montiert, die in ihrem anderen Endbereich ebenfalls schwenkbar mit dem Stützarm in Verbindung steht.On the upper side of the body element is pivotally mounted by means of a mounting plate, a gas spring, which is also pivotally connected in its other end with the support arm.

Aus den deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschriften DE-GM 76 38 682 sowie DE-GM 78 11 011 sind Schränke bekannt, die mittels um horizontal verlaufende Achsen schwenkbar gelagerte Klappen verschließbar sind. Die Klappen sind derart bewegbar, dass sie in ihrer hochgeklappten Offenstellung mit dem Schrankinneren nicht oder nur unwesentlich fluchten, so dass die Öffnung des Schrankes im wesentlichen vollständig freigegeben wird. Die Montageplatten der zugehörigen Beschläge sind bei den vorbekannten Schränken an der Innenseite der Möbelseitenwand befestigt, was den Nachteil mit sich bringt, dass der durch den Korpus begrenzte Innenraum des Schrankes durch den Beschlag, d. h. die Montageplatte sowie den daran angeordneten Hebelmechanismus eingeschränkt wird. Ferner besteht ein Nachteil darin, dass die vorbekannten Möbelbeschläge verhältnismäßig aufwendig konstruiert sind und darüber hinaus aufgrund ihrer Anordnung auf der Innenseite des Schrankes verhältnismäßig umständlich montierbar sind.Cabinets are known from the German utility model DE-GM 76 38 682 and DE-GM 78 11 011, which are closed by means of horizontally extending axes pivotally mounted flaps. The flaps are movable so that they are not or only slightly aligned in their folded open position with the cabinet interior, so that the opening of the cabinet is substantially completely released. The mounting plates of the associated fittings are fixed in the prior art cabinets on the inside of the furniture side wall, which has the disadvantage that the limited by the body of the cabinet by the fitting, d. H. the mounting plate and the lever mechanism arranged thereon is restricted. Further, there is a disadvantage in that the prior art furniture fittings are constructed relatively expensive and beyond due to their arrangement on the inside of the cabinet are relatively cumbersome to install.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Schrank der eingangs angegebenen Art mit einem Möbelbeschlag zu schaffen, der leicht herstellbar und montierbar ist und der die vollständige Ausnutzung des Innenraums des Korpuselements zulässt.It is the object of the present invention to provide a cabinet of the type described above with a furniture fitting that is easy to manufacture and assemble and that allows full utilization of the interior of the body element.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Korpuselement, mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Das erfindungsgemäße Korpuselement, beispielsweise ein Schrank, eine Kommode oder dergleichen ist durch eine Klappe verschließbar. Ferner ist ein Beschlag vorgesehen, der eine Montageplatte und einen in seinem Endbereich mit der Klappe unmittelbar oder mittelbar in Verbindung stehenden Stützarm aufweist, wobei die Montageplatte auf der Außenseite einer Wandung des Korpuselementes montiert ist und wobei der Stützarm an der Montageplatte schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Das Korpuselement gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung weist des weiteren eine Abstützeinrichtung auf, die im geöffneten Zustand der Klappe eine der Schließkraft entgegengerichtete Kraft ausübt, und die an derselben Montageplatte wie der Stützarm gelagert ist.This object is achieved by a body element with the features of claim 1. The body element according to the invention, for example a cabinet, a dresser or the like can be closed by a flap. Further, a fitting is provided which has a mounting plate and a support arm directly or indirectly connected in its end region with the flap, wherein the mounting plate is mounted on the outside of a wall of the body element and wherein the support arm is pivotally mounted on the mounting plate. The body member according to the present invention further comprises a support means which exerts a force opposing the closing force in the opened state of the flap, and which is mounted on the same mounting plate as the support arm.

Der Innenraum des Korpuselements kann vollständig ausgenutzt werden, da sich auf der Innenseite keinerlei Beschlagteile befinden. Die Bewegung der Klappe wird durch den in einem Endbereich mit der Klappe in Verbindung stehenden Stützarm bestimmt, der schwenkbar mit der auf der Außenseite einer Wandung des Korpuselements montierten Montageplatte in Verbindung steht.The interior of the body element can be fully utilized because there are no fittings on the inside. The movement of the flap is determined by the support arm connected in one end region to the flap, which is pivotally connected to the mounting plate mounted on the outside of a wall of the body element.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Abstützeinrichtung, beispielsweise eine Gasfeder an der selben Montageplatte wie der Stützarm gelagert ist.According to the invention, it is provided that the support device, for example a gas spring, is mounted on the same mounting plate as the support arm.

Die Wandung kann durch den Oberboden des Korpuselements gebildet werden. In diesem Fall ergibt sich eine hochschwenkbare Klappe, die mittels des Stützarms verschwenkbar ist, wobei der Stützarm bei der Öffnungs- und Schließbewegung der Klappe in diesem Fall um im wesentlichen horizontal und parallel zu dem Oberboden verlaufende Achsen verschwenkt wird.The wall can be formed by the topsoil of the body element. In this case, there is a swing-up flap, which is pivotable by means of the support arm, wherein the support arm is pivoted in the opening and closing movement of the flap in this case about substantially horizontal and parallel to the top bottom extending axes.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Stützarm mit der Klappe derart in Verbindung steht, dass ein Verschwenken des Stützarmes relativ zur Klappe nicht möglich ist. Durch eine derartige, feste Verbindung des Stützarms führt die Klappe eine Schwenkbewegung um die Achse aus, die von der Anlenkung des Stützarms an der Montageplatte gebildet ist.According to the invention it is provided that the support arm is in communication with the flap such that a pivoting of the support arm relative to the flap is not possible. By such a firm connection of the support arm, the flap performs a pivoting movement about the axis, which is formed by the articulation of the support arm to the mounting plate.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist an der Klappeninnenseite eine im Querschnitt L-förmige Leiste vorgesehen, an deren einen im wesentlichen parallel zur Klappeninnenseite verlaufenden Schenkel der Endbereich des Stützarms angeordnet ist, und deren anderer Schenkel derart angeordnet ist, dass dieser im Schließzustand der Klappe mit einem auf der Wandung angeordnete Dämpfungselement zusammenwirkt.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cross-sectionally L-shaped strip is provided on the inside of the flap, on whose one substantially parallel to the flap inside leg extending the end portion of the support arm is arranged, and the other leg is arranged such that it in the closed state of Flap cooperates with a damping element arranged on the wall.

Der Stützarm kann in seinem zu der Klappe gerichteten Endbereich rechtwinkelig gebogen sein und mit diesem Endbereich unmittelbar mit der Klappe in Verbindung stehen, vorzugsweise mit der Klappe verschraubt sein.The support arm may be bent at right angles in its end region directed towards the flap and be in direct connection with the flap with this end region, preferably screwed to the flap.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ferner vorgesehen, dass der Stützarm mit der Klappe in einem Bereich verbunden ist, der im geschlossenen Zustand der Klappe über die angrenzende Korpuswandung übersteht. Ist der erfindungsgemäße Beschlag auf der Oberseite des Oberbodens eines Möbelstückes angeordnet, kann dementsprechend vorgesehen sein, dass die Klappe auf ihrer Oberseite über den Oberboden übersteht und auf ihrer Rückseite in diesem überstehenden Bereich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Beschlag bzw. dessen Stützarm in Verbindung steht.According to the present invention it is further provided that the support arm is connected to the flap in a region which projects in the closed state of the flap over the adjacent body wall. If the fitting according to the invention is arranged on the upper side of the upper floor of a piece of furniture, provision can accordingly be made for the flap to project above the upper floor on its upper side and to communicate with the fitting according to the invention or its support arm on its rear side in this projecting area.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Korpuselement ist des weiteren vorgesehen, dass die Achse, um die der Stützarm schwenkbar ist, in dem von der Front der Korpuselementes abgewandten Bereich der Wandung angeordnet ist.In the case of the body element according to the invention, it is further provided that the axis about which the support arm is pivotable is arranged in the region of the wall facing away from the front of the body element.

Es kann sich dabei um den von der Front des Korpuselementes abgewandten hinteren Bereich der Wandung handeln. Das vorzugsweise starre System aus Stützarm und Klappe wird dementsprechend um diese im hinteren Bereich beispielsweise des Oberbodens angeordnete Schwenkachse bewegt. Die Klappe kann auf diese Weise vollständig aus dem mit dem Innenraum des Korpuselements fluchtenden Bereich entfernt werden. Der Innenbereich des Korpuselements wird im geöffneten Zustand der Klappe somit weder durch die Klappe selbst noch durch Beschlagteile eingeschränkt.This may be the rear area of the wall facing away from the front of the carcass element. The preferably rigid system of support arm and flap is moved accordingly to this arranged in the rear region, for example, the top floor pivot axis. The flap can be completely removed in this way from the aligned with the interior of the body member area. The interior of the body element is thus restricted in the open state of the flap neither by the flap itself nor by fittings.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Abstützeinrichtung vorgesehen, die im geöffneten Zustand der Klappe eine der Schließkraft entgegengerichtete Kraft ausübt.According to the invention, a support device is provided which, in the opened state of the flap, exerts a force opposing the closing force.

Bei der Abstützeinrichtung kann es sich um eine Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit handeln, insbesondere um eine Gasfeder, oder einen Teleskopzylinder, der mittels eines Elektromotors antreibbar ist. Grundsätzlich sind auch beliebige andere Abstützeinrichtungen, beispielsweise eine elektromotorisch angetriebene Zahnstange und dergleichen einsetzbar.The support device can be a piston-cylinder unit, in particular a gas spring, or a telescopic cylinder which can be driven by means of an electric motor. In principle, any other support means, such as an electric motor driven rack and the like can be used.

Die Abstützeinrichtung kann mit einer Montageplatte sowie mit dem Stützarm schwenkbar in Verbindung stehen. Erfindungsgemäß handelt es sich bei der Montageplatte um die selbe Montageplatte, an der der Stützarm schwenkbar gelagert ist.The support means may be pivotally connected to a mounting plate and to the support arm. According to the invention is in the mounting plate around the same mounting plate on which the support arm is pivotally mounted.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung sind zwei Stützarme vorgesehen. Diese können Bestandteile eines Rahmens sein und in einem oder beiden Endbereichen durch Verstrebungen miteinander in Verbindung stehen. In diesem Fall wird die Klappe von zwei Stützarmen abgestützt, die Bestandteil eines Rahmens sind, so dass insgesamt eine bessere Festigkeit erreicht wird. Dabei können die den Rahmen bildenden Elemente, insbesondere die Verstrebungen aus Strangprofilen bestehen, die mit entsprechend angepassten Verbindungsteilen miteinander verbunden werden können. Selbstverständlich können auch mehr als zwei Stützarme vorgesehen sein, was insbesondere bei sehr breiten bzw. hohen Klappen erforderlich sein kann.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two support arms are provided. These may be part of a frame and communicate with each other in one or both end areas by bracing. In this case, the flap is supported by two support arms, which are part of a frame, so that overall better strength is achieved. In this case, the frame-forming elements, in particular the struts consist of extruded profiles, which can be connected to each other with appropriately adapted connecting parts. Of course, more than two support arms can be provided, which may be necessary in particular for very wide or high flaps.

Um die Festigkeit weiter zu erhöhen kann vorgesehen sein, dass eine Versteifungsplatte vorgesehen ist, die in Nuten des Strangprofils gehaltert ist.In order to increase the strength further, it may be provided that a stiffening plate is provided, which is held in grooves of the extruded profile.

Die der Klappe zugewandte Verstrebung kann durch eine L-förmige Leiste gemäß Anspruch 3 gebildet werden. Ferner ist es möglich, dass die der Klappe zugewandte Verstrebung durch eine in der Draufsicht C-förmige Leiste gebildet wird, die mit den Stützarmen in Verbindung steht, vorzugsweise mit diesen verschraubt ist.The flap-facing strut can be formed by an L-shaped strip according to claim 3. Further, it is possible that the flap facing the brace is formed by a top-view C-shaped bar, which is in communication with the support arms, preferably screwed to them.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist auf der Wandung des Korpuselements ein Dämpfungselement vorgesehen, das mit einem an dem Stützarm vorgesehenen Vorsprung, beispielsweise einer Lasche, zumindest im Bereich der Schließstellung der Klappe zusammenwirkt.In a further embodiment of the invention, a damping element is provided on the wall of the body element, which cooperates with a provided on the support arm projection, such as a tab, at least in the closed position of the flap.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer Seitenansicht das Korpuselement 1, das durch eine Klappe 2 verschlossen ist.Figure 1 shows a side view of the body element 1, which is closed by a flap 2.

Auf dem Oberboden 3 des Korpuselements 1 befinden sich zwei Montageplatten 4, wie dies aus Figur 3 hervorgeht. Figur 4 zeigt die Montageplatte 4 in einer Draufsicht mit mehreren Durchgangsbohrungen, die zur Festlegung der Montageplatte 4 auf dem Oberboden 3 des Korpuselements 1 dienen.On the upper bottom 3 of the body element 1 are two mounting plates 4, as can be seen from Figure 3. Figure 4 shows the mounting plate 4 in a plan view with a plurality of through holes, which serve to fix the mounting plate 4 on the upper bottom 3 of the body element 1.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die Montage auf der Außenseite eines Oberbodens beschränkt. Der erfindungsgemäße Beschlag kann beispielsweise ebenfalls an der Außenseite einer seitlichen Wandung des Korpuselements angeordnet werden, wobei sich die Klappe in diesem Fall um im wesentlichen vertikal stehende Schwenkachsen bewegen lässt.The present invention is not limited to mounting on the outside of an upper floor. The fitting according to the invention can, for example, also be arranged on the outside of a lateral wall of the body element, with the flap in this case being able to be moved about essentially vertical pivot axes.

Wie ferner aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 hervorgeht, sind an den Montageplatten 4 über durch Bolzen gebildete Schwenkachsen 5 Stützarme 6 schwenkbar angeordnet. Jeder der Stützarme 6 weist eine verstellbare Platte 10 auf, die mit den Stützarmen 6 verschraubt ist und die einen Zapfen 9 trägt, in dessen Endbereich eine Schwenkachse für die Gasfeder 8 gebildet ist, wie dies aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 und insbesondere aus Figur 8 hervorgeht, die die Platte 10 mit Zapfen 9 in einer teilweise geschnittenen Darstellung zeigt. Die Platte 10 weist Bohrungen zur Aufnahme von Schrauben auf, mittels derer die Platte 10 an dem Stützarm 6 festgelegt wird.As further apparent from Figures 1 to 3, 5 support arms 6 are pivotally mounted on the mounting plates 4 via pivot axes formed by bolts. Each of the support arms 6 has an adjustable plate 10, which with the support arms 6 is screwed and which carries a pin 9, in the end region of a pivot axis for the gas spring 8 is formed, as can be seen from Figures 1 to 3 and in particular from Figure 8, showing the plate 10 with pin 9 in a partially sectioned view , The plate 10 has holes for receiving screws, by means of which the plate 10 is fixed to the support arm 6.

Die Gasfeder 8 ist an derselben Montageplatte 4 wie der Stützarm 6 schwenkbar mittels der durch einen Bolzen gebildeten Achse 7 gelagert. Dementsprechend steht mit der Montageplatte 4 der Stützarm 6 mittels der Achse 5 und die Gasfeder 8 mittels der Achse 7 schwenkbar in Verbindung. Des weiteren ist die Gasfeder 8 in ihrem anderen Endbereich schwenkbar an dem Zapfen 9 der Platte 10 angeordnet, die mit dem Stützarm 6 verschraubt ist.The gas spring 8 is pivotally mounted on the same mounting plate 4 as the support arm 6 by means of the axis 7 formed by a bolt. Accordingly, with the mounting plate 4 of the support arm 6 by means of the axis 5 and the gas spring 8 by means of the axis 7 pivotally connected. Furthermore, the gas spring 8 is arranged in its other end pivotally on the pin 9 of the plate 10, which is bolted to the support arm 6.

Der Stützarm 6 ist mit seinem zu der Klappe 2 gerichteten Endbereich mit einer L-förmigen Leiste 11 verschraubt. Hierzu dient das Verbindungselement 17 gemäß Figur 6. Dieses weist die Gewindebohrung 21 auf, mittels derer das Verbindungselement 17 mit dem Stützarm 6 verschraubt werden kann. Das Verbindungselement 17 weist ferner zwei Sacklochbohrungen auf, mittels derer die Verschraubung mit der Leiste 11 gemäß der Figuren 1 bis 3 erfolgt. Dementsprechend steht dieser Endbereich des Stützarms 6 fest, das heißt nicht verschwenkbar mit der L-förmigen Leiste 11 und somit auch mit der Klappe 2 in Verbindung. Die Leiste 11 ist mit der Klappe 2 verschraubt. In seinem davon abgewandten anderen Endbereich ist in den Stützarm 6 das Verbindungselement 16 eingeführt, das mit diesem ebenfalls mittels einer Gewindebohrung 21 verschraubt ist. Wie aus Figur 5 ersichtlich, weist das Verbindungselement 16 ein Sackloch 18 auf, in dem der die Achse 5 bildende Bolzen aufgenommen ist, der die Schwenkachse 5 des Stützarmes 6 an der Montageplatte 4 bildet.The support arm 6 is screwed with its directed to the flap 2 end portion with an L-shaped bar 11. For this purpose, the connecting element 17 according to FIG 6. This is the threaded hole 21, by means of which the connecting element 17 can be screwed to the support arm 6. The connecting element 17 also has two blind holes, by means of which the screw connection with the strip 11 according to the figures 1 to 3 takes place. Accordingly, this end portion of the support arm 6 is fixed, that is not pivotable with the L-shaped bar 11 and thus also with the flap 2 in connection. The strip 11 is bolted to the flap 2. In its side facing away from the other end region, the connecting element 16 is inserted into the support arm 6, which is also screwed thereto by means of a threaded bore 21. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the connecting element 16 has a blind hole 18, in which the bolt forming the axle 5 is accommodated, which forms the pivot axis 5 of the support arm 6 on the mounting plate 4.

Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich ist der vorbeschriebene Beschlag auf der Oberseite des Oberbodens 3 des Korpuselements 1 zweifach ausgeführt. Die beiden Stützarme 6 stehen mittels der Verstrebung 15 auf der von der Klappe 2 abgewandten Seite sowie mit der L-förmigen Leiste 11 auf der der Klappe zugewandten Seite miteinander in Verbindung, wie dies aus Figur 3 hervorgeht. Die Verstrebung 15 sowie die Stützarme 6 weisen ein Strangprofil auf, das im Querschnitt in Figur 7 dargestellt ist. Dieses weist auf seiner in Figur 7 links dargestellten Seite Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme der Verbindungselemente 16, 17 auf. Ferner ist die Nut 20 erkennbar, die zur Aufnahme einer Versteifungsplatte 19 dient, die in Figur 3 dargestellt ist. Die Versteifungsplatte 19 hat die Aufgabe, die Festigkeit des die Stützarme 6 aufweisenden Rahmens zu erhöhen.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the above-described fitting is embodied in duplicate on the upper side of the upper bottom 3 of the body element 1. The two support arms 6 are by means of the strut 15 on the side facing away from the flap 2 side and with the L-shaped bar 11 on the flap side facing each other in conjunction, as is apparent from Figure 3. The strut 15 and the support arms 6 have an extruded profile, which is shown in cross section in Figure 7. This has on its left side in Figure 7 side recesses for receiving the connecting elements 16, 17. Further, the groove 20 can be seen, which serves to receive a stiffening plate 19, which is shown in Figure 3. The stiffening plate 19 has the task of increasing the strength of the support arms 6 having frame.

Aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 geht ferner hervor, dass an dem Stützarm 6 der laschenförmige Vorsprung 14 vorgesehen ist, der im Bereich der Schließstellung mit einem Dämpfungselement 13 auf der Oberseite des Oberbodens 3 des Korpuselements 1 zusammenwirkt und auf diese Weise die Schließbewegung der Klappe 2 dämpft. Des weiteren ist im vorderen Bereich des Oberbodens 3 ein weiteres Dämpfungselement 12 vorgesehen, das mit dem in der geschlossenen Klappenposition horizontal verlaufenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Leiste 11 zusammenwirkt.From Figures 1 to 3 also shows that on the support arm 6 of the tab-shaped projection 14 is provided, which cooperates in the closed position with a damping element 13 on the upper side of the upper bottom 3 of the body element 1 and in this way the closing movement of the flap. 2 attenuates. Furthermore, a further damping element 12 is provided in the front region of the upper bottom 3, which cooperates with the leg of the L-shaped strip 11 extending horizontally in the closed flap position.

Beim Öffnen der Klappe 2 aus der in Figur 1 dargestellten geschlossenen Position in die in Figur 2 dargestellte verschwenkte Position wird der Stützarm 6 um die Achse 5 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Gleichzeitig wird die Gasfeder 8 ausgezogen und geringfügig im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, wie dies aus Figur 2 hervorgeht. Die Gasfeder 8 stützt die Klappe 2 in ihrer offenen Position ab. Soll die Klappe 2 geschlossen werden, wird diese gegen die Kraft der Gasfeder 8 gemäß Figur 2 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, wobei der Stützarm 6 um die Achse 5 ebenfalls im Uhrzeigersinn und die Gasfeder 8 um die Achse 7 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt wird. Aufgrund der festen, nicht verschwenkbaren Festlegung des Stützarmes an der Klappe 2 ist eine verhältnismäßig einfache Kinematik und ein verhältnismäßig einfacher Aufbau des Beschlages möglich. Die Klappe 2 führt aufgrund ihrer festen Verbindung mit dem Stützarm 6 eine Schwenkbewegung um die Achse 5 aus, die die Anlenkung des Stützarmes 6 auf der Montageplatte 4 bildet.When opening the flap 2 from the closed position shown in Figure 1 in the pivoted position shown in Figure 2, the support arm 6 is pivoted about the axis 5 in the counterclockwise direction. At the same time, the gas spring 8 is pulled out and slightly pivoted clockwise, as can be seen from Figure 2. The gas spring 8 supports the flap 2 in its open position. If the flap 2 is to be closed, it is pivoted counterclockwise against the force of the gas spring 8 according to FIG. 2, wherein the support arm 6 is likewise pivoted about the axis 5 in the clockwise direction and the gas spring 8 about the axis 7 in the counterclockwise direction. Due to the fixed, non-pivotal fixing of the support arm on the flap 2, a relatively simple kinematics and a relatively simple construction of the fitting is possible. The flap 2 performs due to their fixed connection to the support arm 6 a pivoting movement about the axis 5, which forms the articulation of the support arm 6 on the mounting plate 4.

Die Figuren 9 bis 16 zeigen eine nicht von der Erfindung umfaßte Ausführungsform eines Korpuselementes.Figures 9 to 16 show a not embraced by the invention embodiment of a body element.

Figur 9 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, in der der Beschlag durch einen Elektromotor 22 mit einem verlängerbaren Teleskopzylinder 23 bewegt. Der Teleskopzylinder 23 ist in einem seiner Endbereiche mit der Montageplatte 24 schwenkbar verbunden, wie dies beispielsweise aus den Figuren 9 bis 11 hervorgeht. In seinem anderen Endbereich steht der Teleskopzylinder 23 mit dem Hebel 26 schwenkbar in Verbindung, der in den Figuren 13, 13a und 14 dargestellt ist. Der Hebel 26 steht über eine versetzt angeordnete Scheibe 27 verdrehfest mit dem Stützarm 25 in Verbindung, der im Detail in Figur 12 dargestellt ist. Der Hebel 26 ist mittels der Langlöcher 28 durch eine Schraubverbindung mit den Gewindebohrungen 29 des Stützarmes 25 verbindbar, wobei der Hebel 26 gegenüber dem Stützarm 25 winkelig verstellbar ist, um beidseitig angeordnete Motoren 22 anpassen zu können. Über den Hebel 26 steht der Teleskopzylinder 23 mittelbar schwenkbar mit dem Stützarm 25 in Verbindung.Figure 9 shows an embodiment in which the fitting moves by an electric motor 22 with an extendable telescopic cylinder 23. The telescopic cylinder 23 is pivotally connected in one of its end regions with the mounting plate 24, as can be seen for example from Figures 9 to 11. In its other end region of the telescopic cylinder 23 is pivotally connected to the lever 26, which is shown in Figures 13, 13 a and 14. The lever 26 is rotationally connected via a staggered disc 27 with the support arm 25 in connection, which is shown in detail in Figure 12. The lever 26 is connected by means of the slots 28 by a threaded connection with the threaded holes 29 of the support arm 25, wherein the lever 26 relative to the support arm 25 is angularly adjustable in order to adjust motors 22 arranged on both sides. About the lever 26 of the telescopic cylinder 23 is indirectly pivotally connected to the support arm 25 in connection.

Der Stützarm 25 ist in einem Endbereich mit der durch einen Zapfen gebildeten Achse 34 schwenkbar verbunden. Diese befindet sich auf der Montageplatte 39, die in Figur 15 sowie in Figur 11 dargestellt ist und die im hinteren Bereich des Oberbodens 3 des Korpuselements 1 angeordnet ist. In seinem anderen Endbereich weist der Stützarm 25 einen rechtwinklig abgebogenen Abschnitt 30 auf, mittels dessen der Stützarm 25 mit der Klappe 2 verschraubt ist.The support arm 25 is pivotally connected in one end region with the axis 34 formed by a pin. This is located on the mounting plate 39, which is shown in Figure 15 and in Figure 11 and which is arranged in the rear region of the upper bottom 3 of the body element 1. In its other end region, the support arm 25 has a right angle bent portion 30, by means of which the support arm 25 is screwed to the flap 2.

Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform sind auf dem Oberboden 3 des Korpuselements 1 zwei der genannten Beschläge vorgesehen. Diese sind mittels des in der Draufsicht C-förmigen Bügels 31 sowie über die als Stange ausgeführte Verstrebung 33 miteinander verbunden. Die C-förmige Leiste 31 dient zur Versteifung der Vorrichtung. Sie stützt sich wie aus Figur 11 ersichtlich an der Rückseite der Klappe 2 ab.Also in this embodiment, two of said fittings are provided on the top floor 3 of the body member 1. These are connected to one another by means of the bracket 31, which is C-shaped in plan view, and via the strut 33 designed as a rod. The C-shaped strip 31 serves to stiffen the device. It is supported, as shown in FIG. 11, on the rear side of the flap 2.

Wie aus Figur 13a ersichtlich, weist der Hebel 26 eine Bohrung 32 mit einer Ausnehmung auf. In diese Aufnehmung ist ein entsprechender Ansatz der die Verstrebung 33 bildenden Stange einführbar, so dass die Stange mittels Formschluss verdrehfest in der Bohrung 32 des Hebels 26 aufgenommen ist. Die Stange 33 dient nicht nur zur Versteifung der gesamten Konstruktion, sondern auch dazu, eine synchrone Drehbewegung auf beiden Seiten der Klappe 2 zu realisieren.As can be seen from FIG. 13a, the lever 26 has a bore 32 with a recess. In this Aufnehmung a corresponding approach of the strut 33 forming rod is inserted, so that the rod by means of positive locking rotationally fixed in the bore 32 of the lever 26 is added. The rod 33 is used not only to stiffen the entire construction, but also to realize a synchronous rotational movement on both sides of the flap 2.

Figur 16 zeigt schließlich die Montageplatte 24, auf der mittels eines Bolzens der Endbereich des Teleskopzylinders 23 des Elektromotors 22 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Auch die Montageplatte 24 ist wie aus Figur 11 ersichtlich auf der Außenseite des Oberbodens 3 montiert.Finally, FIG. 16 shows the mounting plate 24, on which the end area of the telescopic cylinder 23 of the electric motor 22 is pivotably mounted by means of a bolt. Also, the mounting plate 24 is mounted as shown in Figure 11 on the outside of the topsoil 3.

Die beiden Montageplatten 24 und 39 sind in dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel als zwei getrennte Platten ausgeführt. Selbstverständlich ist auch der Einsatz einer gemeinsamen Montageplatte denkbar.The two mounting plates 24 and 39 are designed in the present embodiment as two separate plates. Of course, the use of a common mounting plate is conceivable.

Zum Öffnen der Klappe 2 wird der Elektromotor 22 betätigt und der Teleskopzylinder 23 ausgefahren. Dabei wird der Hebel 26 aus seiner in Fig. 9 dargestellten Position gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, wie dies aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 9 und 10 ersichtlich wird. Aufgrund der verdrehfesten Verbindung des Hebels 26 mit dem Stützarm 25 erfährt auch der Stützarm 25 und die damit fest verbundene Klappe 2 eine Schwenkbewegung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn. Die Klappe wird gemäß Figur 10 aus dem Öffnungsbereich des Korpuselementes 1 wegbewegt, wodurch dessen Innenraum vollständig zugänglich ist. Bei der Öffnungsbewegung erfährt der Teleskopzylinder 23 eine Schwenkbewegung um die an der Montageplatte 24 vorgesehene Schwenkachse im Uhrzeigersinn.To open the flap 2, the electric motor 22 is actuated and the telescopic cylinder 23 extended. In this case, the lever 26 is pivoted from its position shown in Fig. 9 counterclockwise, as can be seen from a comparison of Figures 9 and 10. Due to the rotationally fixed connection of the lever 26 with the support arm 25, the support arm 25 and the thus firmly connected flap 2 undergoes a pivoting movement counterclockwise. The flap is moved away according to Figure 10 from the opening portion of the body element 1, whereby the interior is completely accessible. During the opening movement of the telescopic cylinder 23 undergoes a pivoting movement about the provided on the mounting plate 24 pivot axis in a clockwise direction.

In der Offenposition stützt der ausgefahrene Teleskopzylinder 23 die Klappe 2 ab. Bei der Schließbewegung vollzieht sich der vorgenannte Vorgang in umgekehrter Richtung bis die Klappe 2 ihre aus Fig. 9 ersichtliche Schließstellung einnimmt.In the open position, the extended telescopic cylinder 23 supports the flap 2. During the closing movement, the aforementioned process takes place in the reverse direction until the flap 2 assumes its closed position shown in FIG. 9.

Wie aus den die Ausführungsbeispiele zeigenden Zeichnungen ersichtlich, verlaufen sämtliche Schwenkachsen parallel zu der Wandung, auf der die Montageplatte(n) angeordnet sind. In den Ausführungsbeispielen wird diese Wandung durch den Oberboden des Korpuselementes gebildet. Alternativ kommt auch jede andere Wandung des Korpuselementes zur Montage des erfindungsgemäßen Beschlages in Betracht.As can be seen from the drawings showing the exemplary embodiments, all pivot axes extend parallel to the wall on which the mounting plate (s) are arranged. In the embodiments, this wall is formed by the upper bottom of the body element. Alternatively, every other comes Wall of the body element for mounting the fitting according to the invention into consideration.

Das erfindungsgemäße Korpuselement weist den Vorteil auf, dass auf der Innenseite des Korpuselementes keine Beschlagteile vorhanden sind, so dass sich der Innenraum sowohl in der geschlossenen als auch in der geöffneten Position der Klappe vollständig ausnutzen lässt. Die Beschlagteile werden in dem in der Zeichnung dargestellen Ausführungsbeispiel sämtlich auf der Oberseite des Oberbodens montiert, wodurch sich zudem eine verhältnismäßig einfache Montage realisieren läßt. Aufgrund der in den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen starren Verbindung der Stützarme mit der Klappe erfährt die Klappe eine Schwenkbewegung um die Schwenkachse des Stützarmes an der Montageplatte. Die gewünschte Bewegung der Klappe ist durch einen verhältnismäßig einfachen Aufbau des Beschlages realisierbar, der leicht herstellbar ist.The body element according to the invention has the advantage that no fittings are present on the inside of the body element, so that the interior can be fully utilized both in the closed and in the open position of the flap. The fitting parts are all mounted in the dargestellen in the drawing embodiment on the top of the topsoil, which also allows a relatively simple assembly can be realized. Due to the rigid connection in the illustrated embodiments of the support arms with the flap, the flap undergoes a pivotal movement about the pivot axis of the support arm on the mounting plate. The desired movement of the flap can be realized by a relatively simple construction of the fitting, which is easy to produce.
