Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein als versenkt in einer Ausnehmung in der Innenseite der Wandung eines im Montagebereich aus dünnwandigem Metall gebildeten Türflügels eines Möbelstücks montierbarer, als Einstecktopf ausgebildetes Scharniergehäuse mit einem aus Metall hergestellten Topfteil, von dessen oberem Rand einstückig ein in der bestimmungsgemäß am Türflügel montierten Lage den an die Ausnehmung im Türflügel anschließenden Bereich der Innenseite des Türflügels überdeckender Befestigungsflansch vortritt und mit einer zwischen dem Befestigungsflansch und der Türflügel-Innenseite angeordneten im Bereich der Ausnehmung im Türflügel eine entsprechenden Ausnehmung für den Durchtritt des Topfteils aufweisenden und zusammen mit dem Scharniergehäuse auf der Innenseite des Türflügels befestigbaren Futterplatte.The invention relates to a sunken in a recess in the inside of the wall of a thin walled metal formed in the mounting portion of a piece of furniture furniture mountable, designed as Einstecktopf hinge housing with a cup made of metal, from the upper edge in one piece as intended mounted on the door position the adjoining the recess in the door panel region of the inside of the door panel overlapping mounting flange and arranged with a arranged between the mounting flange and the inside of the door in the recess in the door a corresponding recess for the passage of the cup portion and having together with the hinge housing on the inside the door panel attachable lining plate.

Die Ausbildung von als Türflügel-Anschlagteil dienenden, versenkt in einer Aussparung in der Innenseite eines Türflügels aus Holzwerkstoff eines Schranks befestigbaren Scharniergehäuse moderner Mehrgelenk-Möbelscharniere der hier in Frage stehenden Art, d.h. als aus einem aus Metall hergestellten Topfteil mit einem Befestigungsflansch und einem nach der Befestigung am bzw. im Türflügel praktisch nicht sichtbaren Futterteil aus Kunststoff zusammengesetzen Scharniergehäuse hat sich in neuerer Zeit zunehmend durchgesetzt. Der entweder aus Metallblech im Stanz-Press-Verfahren oder im Druckgussverfahren aus einer Metallegierung hergestellte Metallteil bestimmt also einerseits das Aussehen des Scharniergehäuses und gewährleistet andererseits die erforderliche hohe Beanspruchbarkeit, während der in montiertem Zustand nicht oder fast nicht sichtbare Kunststoff-Futterteil die genaue Ausrichtung des Metallteils in der Aussparung im Türflügel sicher stellt. Die Befestigung des Scharniergehäuses am Türflügel erfolgt dabei in der Regel durch ein oder zwei Befestigungsschrauben, welche angesenkte Befestigungsbohrungen im Befestigungsflansch des Metallteils und Aussparungen in dem darunter liegenden Teil des Kunststoff-Futterteils durchsetzt bzw. durchsetzen und entweder direkt in den Türflügel eingeschraubt sind oder in am Futterteil vorgesehene Befestigungszapfen eingreifen, welche ihrerseits mit Abstand von der Aussparung für den Topfteil in das Holzmaterial des Türflügels eingebohrten Befestigungsbohrungen gehalten sind. Diese vorzugsweise einstückig an dem Futterteil angespritzten Befestigungszapfen sind mit Übermaß gegenüber dem lichten Durchmesser der Befestigungsbohrung im Türflügel bemessen, so dass sie das montierte Scharniergehäuse fest mit dem Türflügel verbinden. Durch Ausbildung der Befestigungszapfen nach Art von Spreizdübeln, welche durch die eingeschraubte Befestigungsschrauben aufspreizbar sind, kann der feste Sitz des Scharniergehäuses am bzw. im Türflügel noch erhöht werden. Eine Demontage der Scharniergehäuse vom Türflügel ist aber durch Herausschrauben der Befestigungsschraube(n) möglich, da dann die Verbindung des Metallteils mit dem Futterteil gelöst wird. Allerdings ist dieser Schraubvorgang arbeitsaufwändig und bei mehrfachem Lösen und Wiederverbinden des Metallteils mit dem Futterteil können sich die Gewindegänge der Befestigungsschrauben in den Befestigungszapfen oder - wo diese fehlen - in den Wandungen der Befestigungsbohrungen im Türflügel aus -arbeiten, so dass der feste Sitz und sichere Halt des Scharniergehäuses am Türflügel leidet. Als Beispiel für die bekannten Scharniergehäuse sei auf das aus der DE 26 36 767 C2 bekannte Einschlaggehäuse hingewiesen.The formation of serving as a door-stop member, sunk in a recess in the inside of a door panel of wood material of a cabinet fastened hinge housing modern multi-joint furniture hinges of the type in question here, ie as a made of metal cup part with a mounting flange and after the Fastening on or in the door wing practically invisible food piece made of plastic composite hinge housing has become increasingly prevalent in recent times. The metal part either made of sheet metal in the stamping-pressing process or die casting of a metal alloy thus determined on the one hand the appearance of the hinge housing and on the other hand ensures the required high strength, while not or hardly visible in the assembled state plastic chuck the exact orientation of the Ensures metal part in the recess in the door ensures. The attachment of the hinge housing on the door is usually carried out by one or two screws, which lowered fixing holes in the mounting flange of the metal part and recesses in the underlying part of the plastic chuck interspersed or enforce and are either screwed directly into the door or in am Futterteil provided Engage mounting pins, which in turn are held at a distance from the recess for the cup part in the wood material of the door panel drilled mounting holes. These preferably integrally molded to the chuck Fasteners are dimensioned with excess over the clear diameter of the mounting hole in the door so that they connect the assembled hinge housing fixed to the door. By forming the mounting pins in the manner of expansion dowels, which can be spread open by the screwed fastening screws, the tight fit of the hinge housing on or in the door can be increased. But disassembly of the hinge housing from the door leaf is possible by unscrewing the fastening screw (s), since then the connection of the metal part is solved with the fodder. However, this screwing is laborious and with multiple loosening and reconnecting the metal part with the chuck, the threads of the mounting screws in the mounting pins or - where they are missing - in the walls of the mounting holes in the door-work, so that the tightness and secure fit of the hinge housing on the door suffers. As an example of the well-known hinge housing is on from the DE 26 36 767 C2 noted known impact housing.

Neben Möbeln aus Holzwerkstoffen setzen sich für spezielle Fälle in neuerer Zeit - z.B. im Bürobereich - zunehmend auch aus Metallblech hergestellte Möbel durch, wobei die Türflügel aus äthetischen Gründen und zur Versteifung häufig zumindest im Randbereich doppelwandig ausgeführt sind. Auch unter Verwendung von metallischen Hohlkammerprofilen aufgebaute Türflügel gewinnen zunehmend an Interesse. Scharniere mit den bekannten, für die Befestigung an hölzernen Türflügel bestimmten Scharniergehäusen sind an solchen Metall-Türflügeln nicht anbringbar.In addition to wood-based furniture, special cases have recently been put forward - e.g. in the office sector - increasingly made of sheet metal furniture, the door wings are made of aesthetic reasons and for stiffening often double-walled at least in the edge region. Also constructed using metallic hollow chamber profiles door wings are gaining increasing interest. Hinges with the known, intended for attachment to wooden door hinge housing hinges are not attachable to such metal door leaves.

Die Befestigung von Scharniergehäusen an solchen Metalltüren ermöglicht ein Scharniergehäuse der eingangs erwähnten Art ( DE 41 42 988 A1 ), bei welchem zwischen dem Befestigungsflansch des Metallteils und der Außenseite der Wandung des Türflügels aus Metallblech eine dünne Futterplatte angeordnet und in einer zugehörigen Durchgangsöffnung in der Wandung des Türflügels befestigt wird. Zur Verbindung des metallischen Topfteils mit der Futterplatte sind dann Drehverriegelungen vorgesehen, welche den metallischen Topfteil nach dem Einführen in die Durchgangsöffnung in der vormontierten Futterplatte durch Verdrehen nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses verriegeln. Festzuhalten ist jedenfalls, dass die Montage des Scharniertopfs am Türflügel einer Verdrehbewegung des Topfteils in der vormontierten Futterplatte erfordert, was nur dann möglich ist, wenn der Korpus-Anschlagteil des mit dem bekannten Scharniertopf versehenen Scharniers noch nicht am Korpus des Möbelstücks angeschlagen ist.The attachment of hinge housings on such metal doors allows a hinge housing of the type mentioned above ( DE 41 42 988 A1 ), wherein between the mounting flange of the metal part and the outside of the wall of the door leaf made of sheet metal, a thin lining plate is arranged and fixed in an associated passage opening in the wall of the door leaf. For connection of the metallic cup part with the lining plate then rotary locks are provided which the pre-assembled metallic cup part after insertion into the through hole Lock plate by twisting in the manner of a bayonet lock. It should be noted in any case that the assembly of the hinge cup on the door requires a rotational movement of the cup part in the preassembled lining plate, which is only possible if the body-stop part of the provided with the known hinge pot hinge is not yet struck on the body of the piece of furniture.

Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Scharniergehäuse der hier in Frage stehenden Art zu schaffen, welches eine Abnahme des Türflügels auch bei am Schrankkorpus vormontiertem Scharnier ermöglicht, ohne dass das Scharnier zuvor von der Tragwand des Korpus abgenommen werden muss. Darüber hinaus soll der erfindungsgemäße Scharniertopf auch in solchen Fällen einsetzbar sein, in denen die im Innern des Türflügels unterhalb der metallischen Innenwandung zur Verfügung stehende Aufnahmeraum für den Topfteil des Scharniergehäuses nur eine sehr geringe Tiefe hat, so dass der Topfteil also entsprechend niedrig ausgebildet werden muss.The invention is based on the object to provide a hinge housing of the type in question here, which allows a decrease in the door even when preassembled on the cabinet body hinge, without the hinge must be removed beforehand from the support wall of the carcass. In addition, the hinge cup according to the invention should also be used in cases where the available inside the door leaf below the metallic inner wall receiving space for the cup part of the hinge housing has only a very small depth, so that the pot part must therefore be made correspondingly low ,

Ausgehend von einem Scharniergehäuse der eingangs erwähnten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass dass die Futterplatte im Randbereich ihrer der Ausnehmung in der Wandung des Türflügels entsprechenden Ausnehmung in die Ausnehmung im Türflügel vorspringende elastische Rastzungen aufweist, welche in der bestimmungsgemäßen Befestigungsstellung der Futterplatte auf der Wandungs-Innenseite den Randbereich der Ausnehmung im Türflügel rastend umgreifen, dass in der Futterplatte wenigstens zwei voneinander beabstandete mit Durchgangsöffnungen in Ausrichtung zur jeweils zugeordneten durchgehenden Öffnung in der Wandung des Türflügels vorgesehen sind, dass fluchtend zu den Durchgangsöffnungen in der Futterplatte und der Wandung des Türflügels Durchgangsöffnungen im Befestigungsflansch vorgesehen sind, durch welche die Schäfte von Befestigungsschrauben hindurchgeführt sind, deren dem Schraubenkopf abgewandte, mit Gewinde versehene Endbereiche jeweils in ein komplementäres Gegengewinde in einer Spannplatte eingeschraubt sind, deren äußere Begrenzung im Wesentlichen der äußeren Begrenzung der Öffnung in der Wandung des Türflügels entspricht, und dass zwischen die der Wandung des Türflügels zugewandten Flachseite der Futterplatte und den diesen zugewandten Begrenzungsflächen der Spannplatten jeweils ein vom Schaft der Befestigungsschraube durchsetzter elastisch verformbarer Befestigungskörper angeordnet ist, welche in unverformtem Zustand eine den Begrenzungen der Öffnungen in der Wandung des Türflügels sowie der Spannplatte im Wesentlichen entsprechende äußere Begrenzung aufweisen. Die Befestigung des Scharniergehäuses an bzw. im Türteil erfolgt dann so, dass der Topfteil des Einstecktopfs mit der zuvor an der Unterseite des Befestigungsflanschs angeordneten Futterplatte in die Ausnehmung des Türflügels eingeführt wird. Gleichzeitig werden die von den voneinander beabstandeten Befestigungsschrauben mit jeweils aufgesetztem und durch eine Spannplatte auf deren Schaft gehaltenen elastischen Befestigungskörper gebildeten Befestigungszapfen durch die zugeordneten Öffnungen in der Türflügel-Wandung eingeführt. Die an der Futterplatte vorgesehenen elastischen Rastzungen sichern den Scharniertopf dann nach erfolgter Anlage der Unterseite der Futterplatte auf der Wandung des Türflügels gegen ungewolltes Zurückziehen, wobei aber eine Demontage durch verstärkten Zug auf den Scharniertopf in Richtung aus der Ausnehmung in der Türfiügel-Wandung heraus möglich ist. Die feste und hoch belastbare Fixierung des Scharniertopfs in der Ausnehmung der Wandung des Türflügels erfolgt dann dadurch, dass die Befestigungsschrauben im Sinne eines Hineinschraubens in die Spannplatte verdreht werden. Dabei wird der Abstand zwischen dem auf der Oberseite des Befestigungsflanschs liegenden Köpfen der Befestigungsschrauben und den Spannplatten verringert, wodurch die elastisch verformbaren Befestigungskörper zusammengedrückt und dadurch zwangsläufig im Durchmesser aufgeweitet werden. Die im Durchmesser vergrößerten Befestigungskörper können dann nicht mehr durch die Öffnungen in der Türflügel-Wandung zurückgezogen werden und gewährleisten den sicheren Halt des Scharniertopfs in der montierten Position.Starting from a hinge housing of the type mentioned above, this object is achieved in that the lining plate in the edge region of the recess in the wall of the door leaf corresponding recess in the recess in the door protruding elastic locking tongues, which in the intended mounting position of the lining plate on the Inside wall surround the edge portion of the recess in the door latching that are provided in the lining plate at least two spaced apart with through holes in alignment with the respective associated through opening in the wall of the door leaf, that in alignment with the through holes in the lining plate and the wall of the door leaf Through holes are provided in the mounting flange, through which the shanks are guided by fastening screws whose remote from the screw head, threaded end portions each i n a complementary mating thread are screwed into a clamping plate whose outer boundary substantially corresponds to the outer boundary of the opening in the wall of the door leaf, and that between the wall of the door leaf facing flat side of the lining plate and these facing boundary surfaces of the clamping plates each one from the shaft arranged the fastening screw interspersed elastically deformable mounting body is, which in the undeformed state have a boundary corresponding to the boundaries of the openings in the wall of the door leaf and the clamping plate substantially corresponding outer boundary. The attachment of the hinge housing on or in the door part then takes place so that the cup part of the Einstecktopfs is introduced with the previously arranged on the underside of the mounting flange lining plate in the recess of the door leaf. At the same time formed by the spaced mounting screws with each attached and held by a clamping plate on the shaft elastic mounting body fastening pins are inserted through the associated openings in the door leaf wall. The provided on the lining plate elastic locking tongues then secure the hinge cup after investing the underside of the lining plate on the wall of the door wing against unwanted retraction, but disassembly by reinforced train on the hinge cup in the direction of the recess in the Türfiügel wall out is possible , The fixed and highly resilient fixation of the hinge cup in the recess of the wall of the door leaf then takes place in that the fastening screws are rotated in the sense of a screwing into the clamping plate. In this case, the distance between the lying on top of the mounting flange heads of the mounting screws and the clamping plates is reduced, whereby the elastically deformable mounting body are compressed and thereby inevitably widened in diameter. The enlarged diameter mounting body can then no longer be withdrawn through the openings in the door leaf wall and ensure the secure hold of the hinge cup in the mounted position.

In zweckmäßiger Weiterbildung der Erfindung verlaufen die Durchgangsöffnungen in der Futterplatte mittig durch von der Wandung des Türflügels zugewandten Flachseite der Futterplatte vortretende Zentrierzapfen, deren äußere Begrenzungen jeweils komplementär zu den Begrenzungen der jeweils zugeordneten durchgehenden Öffnungen in der Türflügel-Wandung entsprechen und deren Länge höchstens gleich der Wandstärke der Wandung ist. Diese Zentrierzapfen stellen sicher, dass der Scharniertopf bei seiner Montage am bzw. im Türflügel in der erforderlichen exakt ausgerichteten Drehstellung montiert wird, wobei durch die gewählte Länge der Zentrierzapfen aber gewährleistet ist, dass die sich beim Anziehen der Befestigungsschrauben im Durchmesser vergrößernden elastischen Befestigungskörper die Innenseite der Wandung im Türflügel hintergreifen, so dass also axiales Spiel des montierten Scharniertopfs in der Ausnehmung im Türflügel nicht auftreten kann.In an expedient development of the invention, the passage openings in the lining plate extend centrally through from the wall of the door leaf facing flat side of the lining plate vortretende centering pins whose outer boundaries each complementary to the boundaries of the respective associated through openings in the door leaf wall correspond and their length at most equal to Wall thickness of the wall is. These centering pins ensure that the hinge cup is mounted in its mounting on or in the door leaf in the required exactly aligned rotational position, but is ensured by the selected length of the centering but that when tightening the mounting screws in diameter-increasing elastic fastening body the inside the wall engage behind the door so that so axial play of the assembled hinge cup in the recess in the door can not occur.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind eine Vielzahl von von der Unterseite der Futterplatte über den Umfang von deren Ausnehmung verteilt die Ausnehmung in der Türflügel-Wandung in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montagestellung rastend umgreifende elastische Rastzungen vorgesehen. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass bereits bei der Vormontage des Scharniertopfs ohne angezogene Befestigungsschrauben die Unterseite der Futterplatte und somit der die Futterplatte überdeckende Befestigungsflansch des Scharniergehäuses spielfrei in Anlage an die Außenseite der Wandung des Türflügels gezogen werden. Ein zusätzliches Andrücken des Scharniertopfs an die Türflügel-Wandung beim eigentlichen Befestigungsvorgang durch Einschrauben der Befestigungsschrauben ist dann also nicht erforderlich.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a plurality of distributed from the underside of the lining plate over the circumference of the recess, the recess in the door leaf wall in the intended mounting position detent encompassing encompassing elastic locking tongues are provided. This ensures that already at the pre-assembly of the hinge cup without tightening the screws, the underside of the lining plate and thus the lining plate covering mounting flange of the hinge housing are pulled without play into contact with the outside of the wall of the door leaf. An additional pressing of the hinge cup to the door leaf wall during the actual fastening process by screwing the mounting screws is then not required.

Der in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montagestellung in der Ausnehmung in der Türflügel-Wandung befindliche Topfteil des Gehäuses weist in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eine an zwei gegenüberliegenden Bereichen seitlich abgeflachte Form auf, wobei die Unterseite des Bodens und die Außenseiten der Abflachung des Topfteils von einem im Querschnitt U-förmigen dünnwandigen Gelenkträger aus Metall umgriffen werden, welcher relativ zum Topfteil parallel zu dessen Abflachung und zum Boden verschieblich ist und in welchem Aufnahmebohrungen für die Lagerzapfen von verschwenkbar im Scharniergehäuse anzulenkenden Gelenkhebeln vorgesehen sind. Die Endbereiche der U-Schenkel des Gelenkträgers sind dabei durch in dessen Verschiebungsrichtung verlaufende Schlitze im Befestigungsflansch hindurchgeführt und stehen von der Oberseite des Befestigungsflanschs vor, wobei die Aufnahmebohrungen für wenigstens einen der verschwenkbar anzulenkenden Gelenkhebeln in den vom Befestigungsflansch vortretenden Endbereichen der U-Schenkel des Gelenkträgers ausgebildet und Mittel zur Festlegung des Gelenkträgers in wählbaren Verschiebungsstellungen relativ zum Topfteil vorgesehen sind. Durch Anbringung der Aufnahmebohrungen für die Lagerstifte der Gelenkhebel eines zugehörigen Scharniers am Gelenkträger und dessen Verschiebbarkeit relativ zum im Türflügel unverschieblich gehalterten Scharniertopf wird erreicht, dass der Türflügel relativ zum Korpus horizontal verstellbar ist. D.h. eine Veränderung des Aufschlagmaßes eines aufliegenden Türflügels bzw. des Spalts zwischen der senkrechten Randkante des Türflügels und der senkrechten Innenfläche der Korpus-Tragwand bei einliegenden Türflügeln ist türflügelseitig möglich.The present in the intended mounting position in the recess in the door panel pot portion of the housing has in a preferred embodiment of the invention a laterally flattened at two opposite areas shape, the underside of the bottom and the outer sides of the flattening of the cup portion of a U in cross-section -shaped thin-walled metal joint carrier are encompassed, which is displaceable relative to the pot member parallel to its flattening and the ground and in which receiving bores are provided for the bearing pin pivotally articulated in the hinge housing articulated levers. The end portions of the U-legs of the joint carrier are guided through extending in the direction of displacement slots in the mounting flange and protrude from the top of the mounting flange, wherein the receiving holes for at least one of the pivoted articulated levers in the protruding from the mounting flange end portions of the U-legs of the joint carrier formed and means for fixing the joint carrier are provided in selectable displacement positions relative to the cup part. By attaching the mounting holes for the bearing pins of the hinge lever of an associated hinge on the joint carrier and its displaceability relative to the hinged in the door immovable hinged cup ensures that the door is adjustable relative to the body horizontally. That is, a change in the Aufschlagmaßes an overlying door leaf or the gap between the vertical edge of the door leaf and the vertical inner surface The carcass support wall with recessed door leaves is possible on the door leaf side.

Die Aufnahmebohrungen für wenigstens einen weiteren verschwenkbar am Scharniergehäuse anzulenkenden Gelenkhebel sind andererseits bevorzugt in die Außenseiten des Topfteils umgreifenden unterhalb des Befestigungsflanschs liegenden Bereichen der U-Schenkel des Gelenkträgers vorgesehen, wobei dann in den abgeflachten Wandungsbereichen des Topfteils in Ausrichtung zu den Aufnahmebohrungen in den U-Schenkeln des Gelenkträgers ausgerichtete, in Verschiebungsrichtung des Gelenkträgers verlaufende durchgehende langlochartige Schlitze vorgesehen sind, deren Breite im Wesentlichen gleich dem Durchmesser der zugehörigen Aufnahmebohrung im Gelenkträger entspricht. Die langlochartigen Schlitze in den abgeflachten Wandungsbereichen des Topfteils werden beim montierten Lagerzapfen für den zugehörigen anzulenkenden Gelenkhebel vom Lagerzapfen durchsetzt, wobei über den Gelenkhebel in den Scharniertopf einwirkende Beanspruchung über die Ränder der langlochartigen Schlitze im Topfteil auf den Topfteil abgetragen werden.On the other hand, the receiving bores for at least one further pivotable hinge lever to be articulated on the hinge housing are preferably provided in the outer sides of the cup part lying below the mounting flange areas of the U-leg of the joint carrier, then in the flattened wall portions of the cup portion in alignment with the mounting holes in the U Legs of the joint carrier aligned, extending in the direction of displacement of the joint carrier continuous slot-like slots are provided, the width of which corresponds substantially equal to the diameter of the associated receiving bore in the joint carrier. The slot-like slots in the flattened wall portions of the cup part are penetrated by the bearing pin mounted on the bearing pin for the associated articulated lever, being over the hinge lever in the hinge cup acting stress on the edges of the slot-like slots in the cup part are removed on the pot part.

Zumindest ein Teil der in der bestimmungsgemäßen Moritagestellung im Bereich der seitlichen Abflachung des Topfteils angeordneten Rastzungen weist in deren freiem Endbereich einen in Richtung zu den Abflachungen vortretenden verdickten Kopfabschnitt auf, die jeweils bis in Anlage an die topfteilabgewandten äußeren Flachseiten der U-Schenkel des Gelenkträgers geführt sind. Die U-Schenkel des Gelenkträgers sind also nicht nur an ihren Innenseiten an den Abflachungen der Wandungen des Topfteils sondern zusätzlich auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Außenseite durch die verdickten Kopfabschnitte der Rastzungen geführt.At least a portion of the arranged in the intended Moritagestellung in the lateral flattening of the pot portion locking tongues has in their free end a vortretenden in the direction of the flattened thickened head portion, each guided into contact with the potteilabgewandten outer flat sides of the U-legs of the joint support are. The U-legs of the joint carrier are thus guided not only on their insides on the flats of the walls of the pot portion but also on the opposite outside by the thickened head portions of the locking tongues.

Die Mittel zur Festlegung des Gelenkträgers in wählbaren Verschiebungsstellungen sind vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass in einer Lagerbohrung des unter dem Boden des Topfteils verlaufenden Stegabschnitts des Gelenkträgers ein Zapfen drehbar gelagert ist, der von der Unterseite eines im Durchmesser vergrößerten und bezüglich der Drehachse des Zapfens exzentrisch versetzten Exzenterabschnitts vorsteht, dessen Umfangsfläche an den gegenüberliegenden Längsrändern einen langlochartigen Querschlitzes im Boden des Topfteils abgestützt ist. Zweckmäßig ist das im Topfteilinnern liegende Ende des Exzenterabschnitts dann mit einem im Durchmesser vergrößerten schraubenkopfartigen Betätigungskopf versehen. Beim Drehen des schraubenkopfartigen Betätigungskopfs mittels eines geeigneten Werkzeugs, z.B. einem Schraubendreher, wird dann die Exzenterbewegung des Exzenterabschnitts über die gegenüberliegenden Ränder des langlochartigen Querschlitzes im Boden des Topfteils abgestützt und dementsprechend über den im Stegabschnitt des Gelenkträgers gelagerten Zapfen in eine Verschiebungsbewegung des Gelenkträgers umgesetzt.The means for fixing the joint carrier in selectable displacement positions are preferably designed such that in a bearing bore of the bottom portion of the cup portion extending web portion of the joint carrier, a pin is rotatably mounted on the underside of an enlarged diameter and with respect to the axis of rotation of the pin offset eccentrically Exzenterabschnitts protrudes, the peripheral surface is supported on the opposite longitudinal edges of a slot-like transverse slot in the bottom of the pot part. Suitably, the end of the eccentric portion located in the cup part interior is then with a screw-head-like enlarged diameter Actuator provided. When turning the screw head-like actuating head by means of a suitable tool, such as a screwdriver, the eccentric motion of the eccentric is then supported on the opposite edges of the slot-like transverse slot in the bottom of the cup part and converted accordingly via the journal mounted in the web portion of the pivot support in a displacement movement of the joint carrier.

Das in den Zeichnungsfiguren gezeigte, in seiner Gesamtheit mit 10 bezeichnete Scharniergehäuse setzt sich aus einem aus Metall hergestellten und nachstehend insbesondere in Verbindung mit den Figuren 2 und 3 noch näher erläuterten Topfteil 12 und einer Futterplatte 14 aus Kunststoff zusammen. Das Scharniergehäuse 10 bildet den Türflügel-Anschlagteil eines - im Übrigen nicht gezeigten - Gelenkscharniers, und zwar im speziellen Fall eines Viergelenkscharniers, mit welchem ein Türflügel 16 aus Metallblech verschwenkbar an einem Schrankkorpus angelenkt wird.The hinge housing shown in the drawing figures, designated in its entirety by 10 is composed of a metal made and in particular in conjunction with the Figures 2 and 3 even closer explained pot portion 12 and a lining plate 14 made of plastic. The hinge housing 10 forms the door leaf-stop part of a - not shown in the rest - joint hinge, in the special case of a four-bar hinge, with which a door leaf 16 of sheet metal is pivotally hinged to a cabinet body.

Das Scharniergehäuse 10 ist für die versenkte Befestigung in einem doppelwandigen Randbereich des Türflügels 16 bestimmt, wobei mit 16a die bei geschlossenem Türflügel korpusinnere Wandung und mit 16b die äußere Wandung bezeichnet ist, welche durch die die seitliche Begrenzung des Türflügels bildende Stirnwand 16c in relativ geringem vorgegebenem Abstand gehalten sind, so dass zwischen der Wandung 16a und 16b ein relativ flacher Hohlraum besteht.The hinge housing 10 is intended for recessed mounting in a double-walled edge region of the door leaf 16, wherein 16a denotes the door inner wall with the door closed and 16b the outer wall, which by the lateral boundary of the door leaf forming end wall 16c in a relatively small predetermined Are kept distance, so that between the wall 16 a and 16 b is a relatively shallow cavity.

Für die Befestigung des Scharniergehäuses 10 sind in der Wandung 16a die insbesondere in den Fig. 2 und 3 veranschaulichten eingestanzten oder eingebohrten durchgehenden Öffnungen vorgesehen, und zwar eine kreisförmig begrenzte Ausnehmung 18 in unmittelbarer Nähe der Stirnwand 16c des Türflügels und - in größerem Abstand von der Stirnwand 16c - zwei kreisförmige durchgehende Öffnungen 20 geringeren Durchmessers. Die durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 geringeren Durchmessers liegen symmetrisch zu der rechtwinklig zur Begrenzungskante des Türflügels verlaufenden Mittellinie der Ausnehmung 18.For the attachment of the hinge housing 10 are in the wall 16 a in particular in the Fig. 2 and 3 illustrated punched or drilled through openings provided, namely a circular limited recess 18 in the immediate vicinity of the end wall 16c of the door leaf and - at a greater distance from the end wall 16c - two circular through openings 20 of smaller diameter. The through openings 20 of smaller diameter are symmetrical to the perpendicular to the boundary edge of the door leaf extending center line of the recess 18th

Der aus Metall bestehende Topfteil 12 weist an seinem oberen Rand eine in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montageposition am Türflügel 16 die an die Ausnehmung 18 anschließenden Bereiche der Wandung 16a überdeckenden Befestigungsflansch 22 auf. Der dabei durch die Ausnehmung 18 ins Innere des Türflügels 16 eingeführte, d.h. im Innern des Türflügels versenkt positionierte Topfteil hat die Form einer seitlich abgeflachten Wanne.The existing metal part pot 12 has at its upper edge in the intended mounting position on the door leaf 16, the adjoining the recess 18 areas of the wall 16a covering mounting flange 22. The inserted thereby through the recess 18 into the interior of the door leaf 16, i. Sunken in the interior of the door sunk pot part has the shape of a laterally flattened trough.

Die in ihrer äußeren Begrenzung im Wesentlichen der Form des Befestigungsflanschs 22 entsprechend geformte dünne ebenflächige Futterplatte 14 aus Kunststoff weist eine der Ausnehmung 18 in der Wandung 16a des Türflügels entsprechende Ausnehmung 24 auf. Im Randbereich dieser Ausnehmung 24 springen von der dem Befestigungsflansch 22 gegenüberliegenden Flachseite der Futterplatte 14 integral angespritzte elastisch verbiegbare Rastzungen 26 vor, die an ihren freien Enden mit jeweils radial nach außen gerichtete Rastköpfen 28 versehen sind, welche in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montageposition des Scharniergehäuses in der Ausnehmung 18 die Innenseite der Wandung 16a rastend hintergreifen.The in its outer boundary substantially the shape of the mounting flange 22 correspondingly shaped thin planar lining plate 14 made of plastic has a recess 18 in the wall 16a of the door leaf corresponding recess 24. In the edge region of this recess 24 jump from the mounting flange 22 opposite flat side of the lining plate 14 integrally molded elastically bendable locking tongues 26th before, which are provided at their free ends with radially outwardly directed locking heads 28 which engage behind the inside of the wall 16a latching in the intended mounting position of the hinge housing in the recess 18.

Die Futterplatte 14 weist zwei voneinander beabstandete Durchgangsöffnungen 30 auf, deren Mittellinie in der Montageposition mit der Mittellinie der jeweils zugeordneten durchgehenden Öffnung 20 in der Wandung 16a fluchtet. Auch im Befestigungsflansch 22 sind zu den Durchgangsöffnungen 30 der Futterplatte und den durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 der Wandung 16a fluchtende Durchgangsöffnungen 32 vorgesehen, die im dargestellten Fall (Fig. 6) angesenkt sind und zur Aufnahme des Senkkopfs 34a jeweils einer Befestigungsschraube 34 dienen, deren mit Gewinde versehener Schaft 34b jeweils in ein komplementäres Gegengewinde 36b einer Spannplatte 36 eingeschraubt ist. Von der der Wandung 16a des Türflügels zugewandten Flachseite der Futterplatte 14 treten kurze Zentrierzapfen 38 vor, welche die Durchgangsöffnungen 30 in der Futterplatte 14 konzentrisch einschließen und deren Außendurchmesser im Wesentlichen gleich dem Durchmesser der durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 in der Wandung 16a entspricht. Die Zentrierzapfen 38 sind in ihrer Länge etwas kürzer als die Wandstärke der Wandung 16a bemessen, so dass sie also in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montagestellung der Futterplatte auf der Wandung 16a nicht in den Hohlraum des Türflügels vortreten.The liner plate 14 has two spaced passageways 30, the centerline of which is aligned in the mounting position with the centerline of the respective associated through-hole 20 in the wall 16a. Also in the mounting flange 22 to the through holes 30 of the lining plate and the through holes 20 of the wall 16 a aligned through holes 32 are provided, which in the illustrated case ( Fig. 6 ) are countersunk and serve to receive the countersunk head 34a each have a fastening screw 34, the threaded shaft 34b is screwed in each case in a complementary mating thread 36b of a clamping plate 36. From the wall 16a of the door facing flat side of the lining plate 14 occur short centering pins 38, which enclose the through holes 30 concentrically in the lining plate 14 and whose outer diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the through holes 20 in the wall 16a corresponds. The centering pins 38 are dimensioned somewhat shorter in their length than the wall thickness of the wall 16a, so that they do not protrude into the cavity of the door leaf in the intended mounting position of the lining plate on the wall 16a.

Zwischen den freien Stirnflächen der Zentrierzapfen 38 der Futterplatte 14 und den Spannplatten 36 ist jeweils ein vom Schaft der Befestigungsschraube 34 durchsetzter gummielastisch verformbarer Befestigungskörper 40 angeordnet, welcher in unverformtem Zustand einen ebenfalls dem Durchmesser der durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 in der Wandung 16a entsprechenden Durchmesser aufweist. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 6 erkennbar ist, bilden die jeweils in eine der zugehörigen durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 einsetzbaren Zentrierzapfen, der anschließende elastisch verformbare Befestigungskörper 40 und die auf das freie Ende des mit Gewinde versehenen Schafts 34b aufgeschraubte Spannplatte 36 insgesamt jeweils einen Befestigungszapfen, welcher in dem in Fig. 6 dargestellten Ausgangszustand passend durch die durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 in der Wandung 16a ins Innere des Türflügels 16 einführbar sind. Wenn dann in der bestimmungsgemäßen Anlagestellung der Futterplatte auf der Wandung 16a der Kopf 34a der Befestigungsschraube 34 im Sinne eines Hineinschraubens des Gewindeschafts 34b in das Gewinde 36b der Spannplatte 36 gedreht wird, schraubt sich die Spannplatte 36 auf dem Schaft 34 in Richtung der Innenfläche der Wandung 16a. Dabei wird der gummielastische Befestigungskörper 40 zusammengedrückt, der sich dabei zwangsläufig unter Durchmesservergrößerung nach außen wölbt. Je nach dem Grad der Verwölbung hintergreift der elastische Befestigungskörper dann die an die durchgehenden Öffnungen 20 anschließenden Randbereiche der Innenseite der Wandung 16a, wodurch eine formschlüssige, durch die elastische Eigenschaften des Befestigungskörpers 40 in gewissem Umfang stoßabsorbierende Befestigung des Befestigungsflanschs auf der Wandung 16a des Türflügels erhalten wird.Between the free end faces of the centering pins 38 of the lining plate 14 and the clamping plates 36 each one of the shank of the fastening screw 34 interspersed rubber-elastic deformable fastening body 40 is arranged, which in undeformed state also has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the through holes 20 in the wall 16a corresponding diameter. As in particular in Fig. 6 can be seen, each form in one of the associated through holes 20 insertable centering pin, the subsequent elastically deformable mounting body 40 and the screwed onto the free end of the threaded shaft 34 b clamping plate 36 a total of one mounting pin, which in the in Fig. 6 illustrated initial state suitable by the through holes 20 in the wall 16a into the interior of the door leaf 16 are inserted. If then in the intended investment position of the lining plate on the wall 16a of the head 34a of the fastening screw 34 in the sense of By screwing the threaded shaft 34b is rotated in the thread 36b of the clamping plate 36, the clamping plate 36 screws on the shaft 34 in the direction of the inner surface of the wall 16a. In this case, the rubber-elastic fastening body 40 is compressed, which inevitably bulges outward under an increase in diameter. Depending on the degree of warping of elastic fastening body then engages the adjoining openings 20 adjacent edge regions of the inside of the wall 16a, whereby a positive, by the elastic properties of the fastening body 40 to a certain extent shock-absorbing attachment of the mounting flange on the wall 16a of the door becomes.

Durch Drehen des Kopfs 34a der Befestigungsschraube 34 in entgegengesetzter Richtung schraubt sich die Spannplatte 36 wieder in Richtung auf das freie Ende des Schafts 34b, wodurch der elastische Befestigungskörper 40 sich verlängert und seine Verwölbung wieder so weit zurückgebildet wird, dass er die ursprüngliche zylindrische Form annimmt. In diesem Zustand können die von den Zentrierzapfen 38 der Futterplatte 14 dem elastischen Befestigungskörper 40 und der Spannplatte 36 im Zusammenwirken mit der Befestigungsschraube 34 gebildeten Befestigungszapfen also kräftefrei aus der durchgehenden Öffnung 20 in der Wandung 16a des Türflügels 16 herausgezogen und das Scharniergehäuse demontiert werden.By rotating the head 34a of the fastening screw 34 in the opposite direction, the clamping plate 36 screws again towards the free end of the shaft 34b, whereby the elastic fastening body 40 is extended and its warpage is again formed back so that it assumes the original cylindrical shape , In this state, the fastening pins formed by the centering pins 38 of the lining plate 14, the elastic fastening body 40 and the clamping plate 36 in cooperation with the fastening screw 34 can therefore be pulled out of the through opening 20 in the wall 16a of the door leaf 16 and the hinge housing can be dismounted without force.

Der Topfteil 12 des Scharniergehäuses 10 ist - wie bereits erwähnt - als an gegenüberliegenden Seiten abgeflachte Wanne ausgebildet. Die Unterseite des Bodens 12a dieses Topfteils und die Außenseiten der Abflachungen 12b des Topfteils 12 sind von einem im Querschnitt U-förmigen dünnwandigen Gelenkträger 44 aus Metall umgriffen, welcher relativ zum Topfteil 12 parallel zu und auf dessen seitlichen Abflachungen 12b und der Unterseite seines Bodens 12a verschieblich ist. In diesem Gelenkträger sind Lagerbohrungen 46a, 46b für die Lagerzapfen von scharniergehäuseseitig verschwenkbar im oder am Scharniergehäuse anzulenkenden (nicht gezeigten) Gelenkhebeln vorgesehen. Der im Querschnitt U-förmige Gelenkträger 44 weist einen den Boden 12a des Topfteils 12 anliegend untergreifenden Stegabschnitt 44a auf, von dessen im Bereich der Abflachungen 12b liegenden Randbegrenzungen jeweils ein U-Schenkel 44b im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig umgekantet ist. Die U-Schenkel 44b sind im Falle des vorstehend beschriebenen und in den Zeichnungen gezeigten Scharniergehäuses länger als die rechtwinklig zur Wandung 16a gemessene Höhe der seitlichen Abflachungen 12b des Topfteils. Im Befestigungsflansch 22 sind deshalb in Verschiebungsrichtung des Gelenkträgers 44 verlaufende Schlitze 48 vorgesehen, durch welche die oberen Endbereich der U-Schenkel 44b hindurchgeführt sind. In den über den Befestigungsflansch 22 nach oben vortretenden Endbereichen der U-Schenkel 44b des Gelenkträgers 44 sind die Aufnahmebohrungen 46a für wenigstens einen der verschwenkbar anzulenkenden Gelenkhebel vorgesehen. Weitere Aufnahmebohrungen 46b für wenigstens einen weiteren verschwenkbar im Scharniergehäuse anzulenkenden Gelenkhebel sind in den die Außenseiten des Topfteils 12 umgreifenden, unterhalb des Befestigungsflanschs 22 liegenden Bereichen der U-Schenkel 44b des Gelenkträgers 44 vorgesehen. Damit der in diesen Aufnahmebohrungen 46b zu halternde Lagerstift mit seinen Enden in den U-Schenkeln montiert werden kann; sind zusätzlich in den seitlich abgeflachten Bereichen 12b des Topfteils 12 in Ausrichtung zu den Aufnahmebohrungen 46b in den U-Schenkeln 44b ausgerichtete langlochartige Schlitze 50 (Fig. 4) vorgesehen, die in Verschiebungsrichtung des Gelenkträgers verlaufen und in ihrer Breite im Wesentlichen gleich dem Durchmesser der zugehörigen Aufnahmebohrung 46b entsprechend bemessen sind. Es ist klar, dass einerseits die Länge der den Befestigungflansch 22 durchsetzenden Schlitze 48 und andererseits die Länge der langlochartigen Schlitze 50 in den seitlich abgeflachten Wandungsbereichen 12b des Topfteils zumindest entsprechend dem gewünschten Verschiebungsweg des Gelenkträgers 44 relativ zum Topfteil 12 bemessen sein müssen.The pot portion 12 of the hinge housing 10 is - as already mentioned - formed as a flattened on opposite sides of the tub. The bottom of the bottom 12a of this cup portion and the outsides of the flats 12b of the cup portion 12 are encompassed by a cross-sectionally U-shaped thin-walled joint carrier 44 made of metal, which relative to the cup portion 12 parallel to and on the lateral flats 12b and the bottom of its bottom 12a is displaceable. In this joint carrier bearing bores 46a, 46b are provided for the bearing pin of the hinge housing side pivotable in or hinged to the hinge housing (not shown) articulated levers. The cross-sectionally U-shaped joint carrier 44 has a bottom portion 12a of the cup portion 12 fitting under cross-web portion 44a, of which lying in the region of the flats 12b edge boundaries each U-leg 44b is folded substantially at right angles. The U-legs 44b are in the case of the one described above and shown in the drawings Hinge housing longer than the measured perpendicular to the wall 16a height of the lateral flats 12b of the cup portion. Slots 48 extending in the direction of displacement of the joint carrier 44 are therefore provided in the attachment flange 22, through which the upper end region of the U-legs 44b are passed. In the over the mounting flange 22 upwardly projecting end portions of the U-leg 44b of the joint carrier 44, the receiving bores 46a are provided for at least one of the pivotable articulated lever to be articulated. Further receiving bores 46b for at least one further pivotably articulated lever to be articulated in the hinge housing are provided in the regions of the U-legs 44b of the articulated support 44 encompassing the outer sides of the cup part 12 and lying beneath the fastening flange 22. So that the bearing pin to be held in these receiving bores 46b can be mounted with its ends in the U-legs; are additionally in the laterally flattened portions 12b of the cup portion 12 in alignment with the receiving holes 46b in the U-legs 44b aligned slot-like slots 50 (FIG. Fig. 4 ), which extend in the direction of displacement of the joint carrier and in their width substantially equal to the diameter of the associated receiving bore 46b are dimensioned accordingly. It is clear that on the one hand, the length of the fastening flange 22 passing through slots 48 and on the other hand, the length of the slot-like slots 50 in the laterally flattened wall portions 12 b of the cup part must be sized at least according to the desired displacement path of the joint carrier 44 relative to the pot member 12.

Insbesondere in den Fig. 2 und 3 ist erkennbar, dass im Wesentlichen über den gesamten Umfang der Ausnehmung 24 Rastzungen 26 integral angesetzt sind, von deren äußeren Enden die die Wandung 16a im Innern rastend umgreifende Rastvorsprünge 28 vortreten. Weiter ist erkennbar, dass ein Teil der in der bestimmungsgemäßen Montagestellung im Bereich der seitlichen Abflachungen 12b des Topfteils 12 angeordneten Rastzungen 26 in ihrem freien Endbereich einen in Richtung zu den Abflachungen 12b vortretenden verdickten Kopfabschnitt 28a weist, welche bis in Anlage an die topfteilabgewandten äußeren Flachseiten der U-Schenkel 44b des Gelenkträgers 44 geführt sind. Im Bereich der Kopfteile 28a werden die U-Schenkel 44b des Gelenkträgers 44 also beidseitig, nämlich von den Abflachungen 12b des Topfteils 12 einerseits und den anliegenden Flachseiten der Kopfteile 28a andererseits in Verschiebungsrichtung geführt.Especially in the Fig. 2 and 3 It can be seen that 24 latching tongues 26 are integrally attached substantially over the entire circumference of the recess, from the outer ends of which the wall 16a in the interior latching embracing latching projections 28 protrude. Furthermore, it can be seen that part of the latching tongues 26 arranged in the intended mounting position in the region of the lateral flattened portions 12b of the cup portion 12 has in its free end region a thickened head portion 28a projecting in the direction of the flattened portions 12b, which extends into contact with the outer flat sides facing away from the pot wall the U-leg 44b of the joint carrier 44 are guided. In the area of the head parts 28a, the U-legs 44b of the joint carrier 44 are thus on both sides, namely of the flats 12b of the cup part 12 on the one hand and the adjacent flat sides of the head parts 28a on the other hand in the direction of displacement guided.

In einer Lagerbohrung 52 des unter dem Boden 12a des Topfteils 12 verlaufenden Stegabschnitts 44a des Gelenkträgers 44 ist ein Zapfen 54 drehbar gelagert, der von der Unterseite eines im Durchmesser vergrößerten und bezüglich der Drehachse des Zapfens 54 exzentrisch versetzten kreisförmig begrenzten Exzenterabschnitts 56 vortritt, dessen Umfangsfläche an den gegenüberliegenden Längsrändern eines langlochartigen Querschlitzes 58 im Boden 12a abgestützt ist. Im Innern des Topfteils 12 ist der Exzenterabschnitt 56 mit einem im Durchmesser vergrößerten schraubenkopfartigen Betätigungskopf 60 versehen, der beispielsweise mit der in Fig. 1 und - strichpunktiert - in Fig. 4 dargestellten Werkzeug-Ansetzausnehmung für einen Kreuzschlitz-Schraubendreher versehen ist. Durch Drehen des Betätigungskopfs 60 mit einem Kreuzschlitz-Schraubendrehers ist der Gelenkträger 44 also stufenlos um den vorgegebenen Verschiebungsweg verschiebbar. Durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung kann die so geschaffene Verstellmöglichkeit des Gelenkträgers durch die Exzenterverstellung selbsthemmend ausgebildet sein. Erforderlichenfalls kann aber zusätzlich durch in eine Gewindebohrung im Boden 12 eingeschraubte und auf den Stegabschnitt 44a des Gelenkträgers 44 aufgedrückte, (nicht gezeigten) Klemmschraube eine zusätzliche Klemmsicherung für eine getroffene Einstellung des Gelenkträgers 44 geschaffen werden.In a bearing bore 52 of extending below the bottom 12 a of the cup portion 12 web portion 44 a of the joint carrier 44, a pin 54 is rotatably mounted, which protrudes from the underside of an enlarged diameter and with respect to the axis of rotation of the pin 54 eccentrically offset circularly limited eccentric 56 whose peripheral surface is supported on the opposite longitudinal edges of a slot-like transverse slot 58 in the bottom 12a. In the interior of the cup portion 12 of the eccentric portion 56 is provided with an enlarged diameter screwdriver-like actuating head 60, for example, with the in Fig. 1 and - dash-dotted - in Fig. 4 Tool attachment recess is provided for a Phillips screwdriver. By turning the actuating head 60 with a Phillips screwdriver, the joint carrier 44 is thus displaceable continuously about the predetermined displacement path. By appropriate design, the thus created adjustment of the joint carrier may be formed by the eccentric self-locking. If necessary, but additionally screwed into a threaded hole in the bottom 12 and pressed onto the web portion 44a of the joint carrier 44, (not shown) clamping screw an additional clamping protection for a made adjustment of the joint carrier 44 can be created.
