Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung für ein verschiebbares Element, das bezüglich eines feststehenden Teils von einer Endlage, in welche das Element durch die Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung einziehbar ist, mindestens auf eine Seite entlang Führungen verschiebbar ist, und welche Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung einen quer zur Verschieberichtung des Elementes entlang Führungen bewegbaren Schiebeteil mit einem Nocken aufweist, welche Führungen am verschiebbaren Element bzw. am feststehenden Teil anbringbar sind und welcher Schiebeteil über Federmittel von einer ausgefahrenen Stellung in eine eingefahrene Stellung ziehbar ist, und der Nocken mit an einem Kurvenelement angebrachten Kurvenbahnen zusammenwirkt, welches Kurvenelement am feststehenden Teil bzw. am verschiebbaren Teil befestigbar ist, welche Kurvenbahnen ein Minima für die eingefahrene Stellung und ein Maxima für die ausgefahrene Stellung des Schiebeteils aufweisen.The present invention relates to a retracting and damping device for a displaceable element, which is displaceable relative to a fixed part of an end position, in which the element is retractable by the retraction and damping device, at least on one side along guides, and which Einzieh - And damping device comprises a transverse to the direction of displacement of the element along guides movable sliding part with a cam, which guides on the displaceable element or the fixed part are attachable and which sliding part can be pulled by spring means from an extended position to a retracted position, and the cam with Curved tracks mounted on a cam element cooperate, which cam element can be fastened on the stationary part or on the displaceable part, which cam tracks have a minimum for the retracted position and a maximum for the extended position of the sliding part.

Derartige Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtungen können überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo ein verschiebbares Element bezüglich eines feststehenden Teils beispielsweise von einer geschlossenen Position geöffnet werden soll, wobei beim Zurückfahren in die geschlossene Position dieses Element durch die Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung selbständig in die geschlossene Position gebracht wird, wobei die Bewegung gedämpft wird. Derartige verschiebbare Elemente können beispielsweise Türflügel von Schiebetüren, Fensterflügel von verschiebbaren Fenstern, Schiebeschranktüren, Schrankauszüge, Schubladen von Möbelelementen usw. sein, bei welchen ein gedämpftes selbständiges Einziehen in eine Endlage gewünscht wird.Such retraction and damping devices can be used wherever a displaceable element with respect to a fixed part is to be opened, for example, from a closed position, wherein when returning to the closed position of this element is brought by the retraction and damping device automatically in the closed position , whereby the movement is damped. Such displaceable elements may be, for example, sliding door doors, sashes of sliding windows, sliding cabinet doors, cabinet drawer, furniture element drawer, etc. in which a damped self-retraction into an end position is desired.

Eine derartige Einrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 06 101 292.8 bekannt. Diese Einrichtung wird hierbei zum gedämpften Einziehen einer beidseitig ausziehbaren Schublade für ein Möbelelement eingesetzt. Diese Einrichtung weist einen Verriegelungsmechanismus auf, mit welchem der Schiebeteil in der ausgezogenen Position und vor dem Verlassen des Kurvenbereichs verriegelt wird. Beim Einschieben der Schublade und wenn der Schiebeteil in den Bereich der Kurve gelangt, wird diese Verriegelung gelöst, der Schiebeteil wird mittels Federkraft zurückgezogen, die Schublade gelangt so in die geschlossene Position.Such a device is known for example from European Patent Application no. 06 101 292.8 known. This device is used here for dampened pulling a double-sided pull-out drawer for a furniture element. This device has a locking mechanism with which the sliding part locks in the extended position and before leaving the curved area becomes. When inserting the drawer and when the sliding part comes in the area of the curve, this lock is released, the sliding part is retracted by spring force, the drawer is thus in the closed position.

Die Montage des Führungsteils und der Kurve müssen bei dieser Einrichtung schubladenseitig und möbelelementseitig sehr genau vorgenommen werden, die Verriegelungseinrichtung muss ebenfalls exakt ausgerichtet sein, damit die Verriegelung des Schiebeteils in der höchsten Position der Kurve erfolgt. Wenn die Ausrichtung nicht genau erfolgt oder wenn zwischen Schublade und Möbelelement viel Spiel vorhanden ist, muss, um ein sicheres Verriegeln erreichen zu können, die Verriegelung erfolgen, bevor der höchste Punkt der Kurve erreicht ist. Beim Zurückschieben der Schublade hat dies zur Folge, dass der Verschiebeteil an die Kurve anstösst, den höchsten Punkt dieser Kurve überfahren muss, wozu der federnd vorgespannte Schiebeteil entsprechend bewegt werden muss, was einen unschönen Bewegungsablauf beim Einschieben der Schublade zur Folge hat.The assembly of the guide member and the curve must be made very accurate drawer side and furniture element side in this device, the locking device must also be precisely aligned so that the locking of the sliding part takes place in the highest position of the curve. If the alignment is not accurate or there is a lot of play between the drawer and the furniture element, the locking must be made before the highest point of the curve is reached in order to achieve a secure locking. When pushing back the drawer, this has the consequence that the sliding part abuts the curve, must pass over the highest point of this curve, for which the spring-biased sliding part must be moved accordingly, which has an unsightly movement when inserting the drawer result.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, eine Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung so zu gestalten, dass ein Blockieren des Schiebeteils genau beim Überfahren des höchsten Punktes der Kurve erfolgt, unabhängig davon, wie genau die Kurve und der Schiebeteil an den entsprechenden Elementen montiert sind, so dass ein optimaler Bewegungsablauf erreichbar ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to make a retraction and damping device so that blocking of the sliding part takes place precisely when the highest point of the curve is crossed, regardless of how exactly the curve and the sliding part are mounted on the corresponding elements. so that an optimal movement is achievable.

Erfindungsgemäss erfolgt die Lösung dieser Aufgabe dadurch, dass an den Führungen eine Klemmeinrichtung angebracht ist, mittels welcher der Schiebeteil klemmend gehalten ist, wenn beim Verschieben des verschiebbaren Elementes von der Endlage in eine ausgefahrene Position der Nocken des Schiebeteils das Maxima der Kurvenbahnen erreicht, und welche klemmende Haltung des Schiebeteils lösbar ist, wenn beim Zurückschieben des verschiebbaren Elements der Nocken des Schiebeteil das Maxima der Kurvenbahnen erreicht.According to the invention, the solution of this object is achieved in that on the guides a clamping device is mounted, by means of which the sliding part is clamped, when moving the displaceable element from the end position to an extended position of the cam of the sliding part reaches the maxima of the curved paths, and which clamping position of the sliding part is releasable, when the pushing back of the displaceable element of the cam of the sliding part reaches the maxima of the cam tracks.

Mit dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird erreicht, dass der Schiebeteil in der genau richtigen Position klemmend gehalten wird, und zwar beim Überfahren des Maximas der Kurvenbahnen, wobei ein entsprechendes Festhalten des Schiebeteils im Maxima auch erreicht wird, wenn das die Kurvenbahnen enthaltende Kurvenelement und/oder der Schiebeteil nicht so genau an den entsprechenden Elementen montiert worden sind.With this embodiment of the invention it is achieved that the sliding part is held in the exact correct position by clamping, namely when driving over the Maximas the curved paths, with a corresponding retention of the sliding part is also achieved at maximum when the cam tracks containing cam element and / or the sliding part has not been mounted so accurately on the corresponding elements.

In vorteilhafter Weise umfasst die Klemmeinrichtung einen Hebel, welcher schwenkbar gehalten ist und welcher mit zwei Anschlagflächen ausgestattet ist, die beidseits einer Leitschiene des Schiebeteils angeordnet sind und im verschwenkten Zustand an der Leitschiene zur Anlage kommen. Dadurch wird eine einfache Klemmung des Schiebeteils erreicht.Advantageously, the clamping device comprises a lever which is pivotally mounted and which is provided with two stop surfaces, which are arranged on both sides of a guide rail of the sliding part and come to rest in the pivoted state on the guide rail. As a result, a simple clamping of the sliding part is achieved.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Schwenkpunkt, um welchen der Hebel im wesentlich schwenkbar ist, aus einem Abstütznocken gebildet, auf welchem der Hebel aufliegt und ist der Hebel über ein Federelement in die verschwenkte Lage drückbar. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass sich der Hebel beim Klemmen so verschieben kann, dass die beiden Abstütznocken in optimaler Weise beidseitig an der Leitschiene zur Anlage kommen, wodurch eine optimale Klemmung erreicht wird.Advantageously, the pivot point about which the lever is substantially pivotable, formed from a support cam on which rests the lever and the lever via a spring element in the pivoted position can be pressed. This ensures that the lever can move during clamping so that the two support cams come in an optimal manner on both sides of the guide rail to the plant, whereby optimal clamping is achieved.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Hebel mit einer über den Abstütznocken hinausragenden Verlängerung ausgestattet, an deren Endbereich ein Führungsnocken angebracht, welcher Führungsnocken mit einer weiteren am Kurvenelement angebrachten Kurvenbahn zusammenwirkt. Dadurch kann das Klemmen des Schiebeteils und das Lösen der Klemmung in optimaler Weise und genau gesteuert werden.Advantageously, the lever is equipped with an extension projecting beyond the supporting cam, at the end region of which a guide cam is mounted, which guide cam interacts with another curved track mounted on the cam element. Thereby, the clamping of the sliding part and the release of the clamping can be controlled optimally and accurately.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Federmittel als Zugfeder ausgebildet sind, welche zwischen dem Schiebeteil und den Führungen angebracht ist, und dass zwischen Schiebeteil und Führungen ein Dämpfungselement zur Dämpfung der Einziehbewegung des Schiebeteils angebracht ist. Dadurch wird eine optimale selbständige und gedämpfte Einziehbewegung für das verschiebbare Element erreicht.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the spring means are designed as a tension spring, which is mounted between the sliding part and the guides, and that between the sliding part and guides a damping element for damping the retraction movement of the sliding part is attached. As a result, an optimal independent and damped pull-in movement is achieved for the displaceable element.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass das Kurvenelement zwischen Minima und Maxima eine erste Kurvenbahn, entlang welcher der Nocken des Schiebeteils während des Ausfahren des verschiebbaren Elementes folgt, und eine zweite Kurvenbahn aufweist, entlang welcher der Nocken während des Einfahrens des verschiebbaren Elementes folgt, und dass zwischen der ersten Kurvenbahn und der zweiten Kurvenbahn Weichenzungen angebracht sind. Die erste Kurvenbahn kann hierbei eine andere Neigung aufweisen als die zweite Kurvenbahn, wobei beim Ausziehen des verschiebbaren Elementes beispielsweise bei geringerer Neigung der ersten Kurvenbahn zum Spannen des Schiebeteils eine geringere Kraft aufgebracht werden muss, während beim Einziehen entlang der zweiten Kurvenbahn ein optimaler Bewegungsablauf erreicht werden kann.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the curve element between minima and maxima a first curved path, along which the cam of the sliding part follows during the extension of the displaceable element, and a second curved path along which the cam during retraction of the displaceable element follows, and that between the first cam track and the second cam track switch blades are attached. The first curved path may in this case have a different inclination than the second curved path, wherein when pulling the displaceable element, for example at lower inclination of the first curved track for tensioning the sliding part, a lower force must be applied, while pulling along the second curved path optimal movement can be achieved can.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass das Kurvenelement so ausgebildet ist, dass beidseits des Minimas im wesentlichen symmetrisch angeordnete erste und zweite Kurvenbahnen angebracht sind. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass das verschiebbare Element auf beide Seiten ausgezogen werden kann, und dass von beiden Seiten her ein selbständiges gedämpftes Einziehen in die gewünschte Endlage des verschiebbaren Elementes erreicht wird.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the cam element is formed so that both sides of the minimas are arranged substantially symmetrically arranged first and second cam tracks. This ensures that the displaceable element can be pulled out on both sides, and that from both sides an independent damped retraction is achieved in the desired end position of the displaceable element.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist angrenzend an das Maxima der ersten Kurvenbahn und der zweiten Kurvenbahn eine dritte Kurvenbahn angebracht, welche vom Maxima weg absinkend verläuft. Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass beim erstmaligen Einschieben einer neu montierten Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung der Schiebeteil in die richtige Position gebracht wird, oder es können nicht korrekte Funktionen der Klemmeinrichtung korrigiert werden.In an advantageous manner, adjacent to the maxima of the first curved path and the second curved path, a third curved path is provided which extends away from the maxima and sinks away. It can thereby be achieved that the sliding part is brought into the correct position during the first insertion of a newly mounted retraction and damping device, or incorrect functions of the clamping device can be corrected.

Am Schiebeteil 2 ist eine Klemmeinrichtung 4 angebracht, die Funktionsweise dieser Klemmeinrichtung 4 und des Schiebeteils 2 werden später noch im Detail beschrieben.In Fig. 1 an inventive retraction and damping device 1 is shown, which comprises a sliding part 2, which is housed in a housing part 3, which acts as guides for the sliding part 2. On the sliding part 2, a clamping device 4 is attached, the operation of this clamping device 4 and the sliding part 2 will be described later in detail.

Aus Fig. 1 ist auch ein Kurvenelement 5 ersichtlich, das erste Kurvenbahnen 6, zweite Kurvenbahnen 7 und eine weitere Kurvenbahn 8 umfasst, welche erste Kurvenbahn 6 und zweite Kurvenbahn 7 zur gesteuerten Verschiebung des Schiebeteils dienen, während die weitere Kurvenbahn 8 die Klemmeinrichtung 4 steuert, wie später im Detail noch beschrieben wird.Out Fig. 1 is also a cam member 5 can be seen, the first cam tracks 6, second cam tracks 7 and another cam 8 includes, which serve first curved track 6 and second cam track 7 for controlled displacement of the sliding part, while the other curved track 8 controls the clamping device 4, as later in Detail will be described.

Fig. 2 zeigt im Schnitt und in einer schematischen Darstellung die Anordnung der Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung in einem Möbelelement 9 mit ein- und ausziehbarer Schublade 10. In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform ist das Kurvenelement 5 an der über Linearführungen 11 bezüglich des Möbelelementes 9 ausziehbaren Schublade 10 befestigt. Der Gehäuseteil 3 mit dem darin verschiebbar geführten Schiebeteil 2 ist am Möbelelement 9 befestigt. Das Kurvenelement 5 wird somit bezüglich des Schiebeteils 2 durch das Ausziehen der Schublade 10 bewegt, wobei die später noch beschriebenen Funktionen ausgeführt werden. Selbstverständlich wäre es auch denkbar, das Kurvenelement 5 am Möbelelement 9 zu befestigen, während der Gehäuseteil 3 mit dem darin verschiebbar gehaltenen Schiebeteil 2 an der ausziehbaren Schublade 10 befestigt werden könnte. Fig. 2 shows in section and in a schematic representation of the arrangement of the retraction and damping device in a furniture element 9 with retractable drawer 10. In the embodiment shown here, the cam element 5 is attached to the linear guides 11 with respect to the furniture element 9 drawer 10 is attached. The housing part 3 with the sliding part 2 guided displaceably therein is fastened to the furniture element 9. The cam element 5 is thus moved with respect to the sliding part 2 by pulling out the drawer 10, wherein the functions described later are performed. Of course, it would also be conceivable to fasten the curve element 5 on the furniture element 9, while the housing part 3 could be fastened with the sliding part 2 held displaceably on the extendable drawer 10.

Diese Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung 1 kann für jede Art von verschiebbaren Elementen eingesetzt werden, die von einer Endlage entlang Führungen in eine ausgezogene Position gebracht werden können, und die beim Zurückschieben gegen die Endlage hin kurz vor dem Erreichen der Endlage durch die Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung selbsttätig gedämpft in die Endlage gezogen werden. Dies können neben in Möbelelemente eingesetzte verschiebbare Schubladen auch Türflügel von Schiebetüren, Fensterflügel von verschiebbaren Fenstern, Schiebeschranktüren, Schrankauszüge usw. sein.This retraction and damping device 1 can be used for any type of sliding elements, which can be brought from an end position along guides in an extended position, and when pushed back against the end position shortly before reaching the end position by the Einzieh- and damping device be automatically pulled damped to the end position. This can be in addition to furniture used in sliding elements also sliding doors of sliding doors, sash of sliding windows, sliding cabinet doors, cabinet drawer etc.

Aus Fig. 3 ist der Aufbau des Schiebeteils 2 ersichtlich, der im Gehäuseteil 3 quer zur Ausziehrichtung, dargestellt durch den Doppelpfeil 12, des verschiebbaren Elementes verschiebbar gelagert ist. Dieser Schiebeteil 2 wird über eine Zugfeder 13, die zwischen Schiebeteil 2 und Gehäuseteil 3 angeordnet ist, in eine eingefahrene Stellung gezogen, wie dies hier in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. In dieser eingefahrenen Stellung befindet sich ein am Schiebteil 2 angebrachter Nocken 14 im Minima 24 der ersten Kurvenbahn 6 des Kurvenelementes 5. Diese eingefahrene Stellung des Schiebeteils 2 bedeutet gleichzeitig die Endlage des verschiebbaren Elementes bezüglich des feststehenden Teils. Parallel zur Zugfeder 13 ist ein Dämpfungselement 15 angeordnet, welches bewirkt, dass die Verschiebebewegung des Schiebeteils 2, bewirkt durch die Zugfeder 13, gedämpft erfolgt.Out Fig. 3 is the structure of the sliding part 2 can be seen, which is mounted displaceably in the housing part 3 transversely to the withdrawal direction, shown by the double arrow 12, of the displaceable element. This sliding part 2 is pulled by a tension spring 13, which is arranged between the sliding part 2 and the housing part 3, in a retracted position, as shown here in Fig. 3 is shown. In this retracted position is a on the sliding part 2 mounted cam 14 in Minima 24 of the first cam track 6 of the cam element 5. This retracted position of the sliding part 2 at the same time means the end position of the displaceable element with respect to the fixed part. Parallel to the tension spring 13, a damping element 15 is arranged, which causes the sliding movement of the sliding part 2, effected by the tension spring 13, is damped.

Am Gehäuseteil 3 ist die Klemmeinrichtung 4 für das klemmende Halten des Schiebeteils 2 ersichtlich, die in der hier dargestellten Stellung des Schiebeteils 2 sich in der gelösten Position befindet.On the housing part 3, the clamping device 4 for the clamping holding the sliding part 2 can be seen, which is in the position shown here of the sliding part 2 in the released position.

Diese Klemmeinrichtung 4 besteht, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, aus einem Hebel 16, welcher schwenkbar gehalten ist, und welcher mit zwei Anschlagflächen 17 ausgestattet ist, die beidseits einer am Schiebeteil 2 vorgesehenen Gleitschiene 18 angeordnet sind. Der Schwenkpunkt, um welchen der Hebel 16 schwenkbar ist, ist aus einem Abstütznocken 19 gebildet, der am Gehäuseteil 3 angebracht ist. Auf diesem Abstütznocken 19 liegt der Hebel 16 auf, man erhält somit beim Verschwenken dieses Hebels 16 um diesen Abstütznocken 19 eine Wiegebewegung. Der Hebel 16 ist durch Führungszungen 20, die am Gehäuseteil 3 angebracht sind, gehalten.This clamping device 4 consists, as in particular Fig. 4 can be seen, from a lever 16 which is pivotally mounted, and which is equipped with two stop surfaces 17, which are arranged on both sides of a provided on the sliding part 2 slide rail 18. The pivot point about which the lever 16 is pivotable, is formed from a support cam 19 which is mounted on the housing part 3. On this support cam 19 of the lever 16 is on, thus obtained when pivoting this lever 16 to this support cam 19 is a weighing movement. The lever 16 is held by guide tongues 20 which are mounted on the housing part 3.

Der Hebel 16 wird über ein Federelement 21 in Fig. 4 im Uhrzeigersinn um den Abstütznocken 19 vorgespannt. Der Hebel 16 weist eine über den Abstütznocken 19 hinausragende Verlängerung 22 auf, an deren Endbereich ein Führungsnocken 23 angebracht ist. Dieser Führungsnocken 23 stützt sich an der weiteren Kurvenbahn 8, welche am Kurvenelement 5 angebracht ist, ab. In der in Fig. 4 dargestellten eingefahrenen Stellung des Schiebeteils 2 befindet sich der am Schiebeteil befestigte Nocken 14 im Minima 24 der ersten Kurvenbahn 6. Der Hebel 16 befindet sich in einer Position, in welcher die beiden Anschlagflächen 17 nicht in Kontakt sind mit der Leitschiene 18 des Schiebeteils 2, d.h. der Schiebeteil 2 kann in dieser Position des Hebels 16 ungehindert verschoben werden.The lever 16 is connected via a spring element 21 in Fig. 4 biased clockwise about the support cam 19. The lever 16 has a protruding beyond the support cam 19 extension 22, at the end region of a guide cam 23 is mounted. This guide cam 23 is supported on the other curved path 8, which is mounted on the cam member 5 from. In the in Fig. 4 shown retracted position of the sliding part 2 is attached to the sliding part cam 14 in Minima 24 of the first cam track 6. The lever 16 is in a position in which the two stop surfaces 17 are not in contact with the guide rail 18 of the sliding part 2, ie the sliding part 2 can be moved freely in this position of the lever 16.

Wenn nun das verschiebbare Element aus der Endlage ausgezogen wird, bedeutet dies, dass der im Gehäuseteil 3 verschiebbar gehaltene Schiebeteil 2 von der in Fig. 4 dargestellten eingefahrenen Stellung gegen eine ausgefahrene Stellung gelangt, wie dies in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist. Während des Verschiebens folgt der am Schiebeteil 2 angebrachte Nocken 14 der ersten Kurvenbahn 6, wobei die Zugfeder 13 (Fig. 3) gespannt wird. Während diesem Bewegungsablauf folgt der Führungsnocken 23 des Hebels 16 der weiteren Kurvenbahn 8. Diese weitere Kurvenbahn 8 ist in diesem Bereich parallel zur Verschieberichtung des verschiebbaren Elementes ausgerichtet, der Hebel 16 bleibt in seiner Ausgangsposition, die Anschlagflächen 17 sind nicht in Kontakt mit der Leitschiene 18, der Schiebeteil 2 ist demzufolge, gesteuert durch den Nocken 14, weiterhin frei verschiebbar.If now the displaceable element is pulled out of the end position, this means that the sliding part 2, which is displaceably held in the housing part 3, differs from the one in FIG Fig. 4 shown retracted position reaches an extended position, as shown in Fig. 5 is shown. During the displacement of the sliding part 2 attached to the cam 14 of the first cam track 6 follows, wherein the tension spring 13 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) is stretched. During this movement sequence, the guide cam 23 of the lever 16 follows the further curved path 8. This further curved path 8 is aligned in this area parallel to the displacement direction of the displaceable element, the lever 16 remains in its initial position, the stop surfaces 17 are not in contact with the guide rail 18th , the sliding part 2 is therefore, controlled by the cam 14, further freely displaceable.

Beim weiteren Ausziehen des verschiebbaren Elementes gelangt der Nocken 14 des Schiebeteils 2 auf das Maxima 25 der ersten Kurvenbahn 6, wie dies in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist. Wenn der Nocken 14, der am Schiebteil 2 befestigt ist, dieses Maxima 25 erreicht, gelangt der Führungsnocken 23 des Hebels 16 in einen geneigten Bereich 26 der weiteren Kurvenbahn 8. Über das Federelement 21 wird in diesem Bereich der Hebel 16 um den Abstütznocken 19 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Dabei werden die beiden Anschlagflächen 17 an die Leitschiene 18 gedrückt, die Leitschiene 18 wird dadurch zwischen den beiden Anschlagflächen 17 geklemmt gehalten, wodurch der Schiebeteil 2 blockiert ist. Die Zugfeder 13 (Fig. 3) befindet sich im gespannten Zustand.Upon further extension of the displaceable element, the cam 14 of the sliding part 2 reaches the maxima 25 of the first curved path 6, as shown in FIG Fig. 6 is shown. When the cam 14, which is attached to the sliding part 2, reaches this maximum 25, the guide cam 23 of the lever 16 enters an inclined region 26 of the other curved path 8. About the spring element 21 in this area, the lever 16 to the support cam 19 in Pivoted clockwise. The two stop surfaces 17 are pressed against the guide rail 18, the guide rail 18 is thereby clamped between the two stop surfaces 17, whereby the sliding part 2 is blocked. The tension spring 13 ( Fig. 3 ) is in the tensioned state.

Wie aus Fig. 7 ersichtlich ist, gelangt der Schiebeteil 2 beim weiteren Verschieben des verschiebbaren Elementes von der Endlage weg, wie sie in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, ausserhalb den Einflussbereich des Kurvenelementes 5. Der Schiebeteil 2 bleibt hierbei in der ausgefahrenen Stellung, geklemmt durch die Anschlagflächen 17 des verschwenkten Hebels 16, welche Anschlagflächen 17 an der Leitschiene 18 anliegen und diese durch das entsprechende Verkanten klemmend gehalten ist.How out Fig. 7 can be seen, the sliding part 2 passes on further displacement of the displaceable element of the end position away, as in Fig. 3 The sliding part 2 remains in this case in the extended position, clamped by the stop surfaces 17 of the pivoted lever 16, which abutment surfaces 17 abut the guide rail 18 and this is clamped by the corresponding tilting.

Dadurch, dass der Hebel 16 auf dem Abstütznocken 19 aufliegt, wird er beim klemmenden Halten der Leitschiene 18 des Schiebeteils 2 durch die Möglichkeit eines Verschiebens des Hebels 16 bezüglich des Abstütznockens 19 so positioniert, dass die Anschlagflächen 17 die Leitschiene 18 optimal klemmen.Characterized in that the lever 16 rests on the support cam 19, it is in the clamping holding the guide rail 18 of the sliding part 2 by the possibility of a displacement of the lever 16 with respect to the support cam 19 positioned so that the stop surfaces 17 clamp the guide rail 18 optimally.

Beim Zurückfahren des verschiebbaren Elementes gegen dessen Endlage hin, wie dies in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, fährt der Nocken 14 im Bereich des Maxima 25 auf die erste Kurvenbahn 6 auf, entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 6. In diesem Moment wird der Hebel 16 durch den geneigten Bereich 26 der weiteren Kurvenbahn 8 entgegen der durch das Federelement 21 ausgeübten Kraft um den Abstütznocken 19 zurückgeschwenkt, die Klemmung der beiden Anschlagflächen 17 an der Leitschiene 18 wird aufgehoben, der Schiebeteil 2 ist wieder frei.When moving back the displaceable element towards its end position, as in Fig. 3 is shown, the cam 14 moves in the region of the maxima 25 on the first cam track 6, as shown in FIG Fig. 6 , At this moment, the lever 16 is pivoted back by the force exerted by the spring element 21 force around the support cam 19 by the inclined portion 26 of the other curved track 8, the clamping of the two stop surfaces 17 on the guide rail 18 is released, the sliding part 2 is free again.

Beim weiteren Einschieben gelangt der Nocken 14 auf die zweite Kurvenbahn 7, die durch eine Weichenzunge 27 gebildet wird, welche Weichenzunge 27 nach dem Ausfahren des Schiebeteils 2 aus dem Bereich des Kurvenelementes 5 in die in Fig. 8 dargestellte Position gebracht wird, bewirkt durch eine Zugfeder 28. Diese zweite Kurvenbahn 7 fällt vom Maxima 25 gegen das Minima 24 hin in einem ersten Bereich weniger steil ab, während in einem zweiten Bereich die Steilheit zunimmt. In diesem zweiten, steileren Bereich der zweiten Kurvenbahn 7 wird das verschiebbare Element über den Schiebeteil 2, im Zusammenwirken mit der zweiten Kurvenbahn 7, gegen das Minima 24 der Kurvenbahn gezogen, wobei diese Einzugskraft relativ gross ist, wodurch gewährleistet ist, dass das verschiebbare Element in die eingezogene Endlage gelangt.Upon further insertion of the cam 14 reaches the second curved path 7, which is formed by a switch tongue 27, which switch tongue 27 after the extension of the sliding part 2 from the region of the cam element 5 in the in Fig. 8 This second curved path 7 drops from the maxima 25 against the minima 24 down in a first region less steeply, while in a second region, the slope increases. In this second, steeper area of the second curved path 7, the displaceable element is pulled over the sliding part 2, in cooperation with the second curved path 7, against the minima 24 of the curved path, wherein this pull-in force is relatively large, thereby ensuring that the displaceable element gets into the retracted end position.

Im vorgängig dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Kurvenelement 5 so ausgestaltet, dass vom Minima 24 aus erste Kurvenbahnen 6 und zweite Kurvenbahnen 7 symmetrisch angeordnet sind. Dies bedeutet, dass das verschiebbare Element und demzufolge der Schiebeteil 2 auf beide Seiten des Kurvenelementes 5 ausgezogen werden können und von beiden Seiten her wieder selbständig in die Endlage zurückgezogen werden. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft bei beidseitig ausziehbaren Schubladen aus Möbelelementen, dies ist aber auch vorteilhaft bei Schiebetürelementen, wobei diese Elemente nicht ein Randelement sind und diese somit mittleren Elemente beidseitig verschoben werden können. Selbstverständlich ist es denkbar, dass das Kurvenelement 5 nur mit einer ersten Kurvenbahn 6 und einer zweiten Kurvenbahn 7 ausgestattet ist, so dass ein Ausziehen des verschiebbaren Elementes in nur eine Richtung möglich wird, was beispielsweise bei einseitig ausziehbaren Schubladen oder Auszügen oder bei seitlichen verschiebbaren Flügeln von Schiebetüren der Fall ist.In the previously illustrated embodiment, the cam element 5 is designed so that the minima 24 of the first cam tracks 6 and second cam tracks 7 are arranged symmetrically. This means that the displaceable element and consequently the sliding part 2 can be pulled out on both sides of the cam element 5 and be withdrawn independently from both sides into the end position. This is particularly advantageous in both sides extendable drawers made of furniture elements, but this is also advantageous in sliding door elements, these elements are not an edge element and thus these middle elements can be moved on both sides. Of course, it is conceivable that the cam element 5 is equipped only with a first cam track 6 and a second cam track 7, so that an extension of the displaceable element in only one direction is possible, which for example in unilaterally extendable drawers or pullout or lateral sliding wings of sliding doors is the case.

Wie insbesondere in den Fig. 6 und 7 ersichtlich ist, ist anschliessend an die erste Kurvenbahn 6 nach dem Maxima 25 eine dritte Kurvenbahn 27 vorgesehen, die vom Maxima 25 her abfallend ist. Diese dritte Kurvenbahn 27 dient insbesondere dazu, dass bei neu montierter Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung das verschiebbare Element, wenn der Schiebeteil 2 sich nicht oder nicht vollständig in der ausgefahrenen Stellung befindet, trotzdem in das Kurvenelement 5 eingeschoben werden kann. Durch die dritte Kurvenbahn 27 wird dann der Schiebeteil 2 in die vollständig ausgefahrene Stellung gebracht, wobei der Kraftaufwand relativ gross ist, da die Klemmwirkung der beiden Anschlagflächen 17 des Hebels 16 überwunden werden muss.As in particular in the Fig. 6 and 7 can be seen, a third curved path 27 is then provided to the first curved path 6 after the maxima 25, which is sloping from the maxima 25 forth. This third curved path 27 serves, in particular, for the displaceable element, if the sliding part 2 is not or not completely in the extended position, to be inserted into the curved element 5 even when the retraction and damping device is newly mounted. By the third curved path 27 of the sliding part 2 is then brought into the fully extended position, the force is relatively large, since the clamping action of the two stop surfaces 17 of the lever 16 must be overcome.

Mit dieser erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung der Einzieh- und Dämpfungseinrichtung wird erreicht, dass beim Ausfahren des Schiebeteils 2 aus der ersten Kurvenbahn 6 dieser beim Erreichen des Maximas dieser Kurvenbahn genau in der richtigen Position festgehalten wird, unabhängig davon, wie genau die entsprechenden Elemente gegenseitig zueinander montiert sind, beim Zurückschieben und beim Einfahren des Schiebteils 2 in das Maxima 25 der ersten Kurvenbahn 6 ist dadurch die korrekte Lage gewährleistet, der Bewegungsablauf ist somit optimal.With this inventive embodiment of the retraction and damping device is achieved that when extending the sliding part 2 from the first cam track 6 of this is held exactly in the correct position when reaching the Maximas this cam track, regardless of how exactly the corresponding elements are mutually mounted to each other , during the pushing back and when retracting the sliding part 2 in the maxima 25 of the first curved path 6, the correct position is ensured, the movement is thus optimal.
