Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Liftbeschlag für insbesondere Schubkästen, Tablare, Auszüge und dergleichen Einrichtungsgegenstände von Möbeln wie z. B. Küchenschrankmöbeln mit einerseits an einem Möbelkorpus und andererseits an dem Einrichtungsgegenstand festgelegten Scharnierhebeln, die paarweise einer Außenseite des Einrichtungsgegenstandes zugeordnete Viergelenkhebelanordnungen bilden, wobei jeder Viergelenkhebelanordnung eine Längsführung mit Endanschlägen für den Einrichtungsgegenstand zugeordnet ist, so dass der Einrichtungsgegenstand innerhalb eines durch die Endanschläge begrenzten Verfahrweges relativ zu der Viergelenkhebelanordnung translatorisch bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a lift fitting for in particular drawers, trays, pull-outs and similar items of furniture such. B. kitchen cabinet furniture with hinge levers fixed on the one hand to a furniture body and on the other hand to the furnishing item, which in pairs form four-joint lever arrangements assigned to an outer side of the furnishing object, each four-joint lever arrangement being assigned a longitudinal guide with end stops for the furnishing object, so that the furnishing object is within a travel path limited by the end stops is translationally movable relative to the four-bar lever arrangement.

Liftbeschläge der vorgenannten Art sind bekannt und dienen beispielsweise zur schwenkbaren Halterung von Tablaren, auf denen technische Geräte wie beispielsweise Brotschneidemaschinen zu platzieren sind. Diese können aus einer in dem Innenraum eines Möbelkorpus von Möbeln gelegenen Verwahrstellung in eine hochgeschwenkte Öffnungsstellung überführt werden, die in etwa im Höhenbereich einer Arbeitsplatte einer Küchenmöbelfront gelegen ist.Lift fittings of the aforementioned type are known and are used, for example, for the pivotable mounting of trays on which technical devices such as bread slicing machines are to be placed. These can be transferred from a storage position located in the interior of a furniture body of furniture to an upwardly pivoted open position which is located approximately in the height range of a worktop of a kitchen furniture front.

Der Schwenkbereich und damit der Raum, der für den Schwenkvorgang eines derartigen Tablares zur Verfügung zu stellen ist, ist erheblich und kann für sonstige Aufbewahrungszwecke nicht genutzt werden. Deshalb sind derartige Liftbeschläge für sonstige Möbeleinrichtungsgegenstände wie beispielsweise Schubkästen, die im unteren Bereich eines Küchenschrankes, beispielsweise eines Küchenunterschrankes angeordnet sind, kann sinnvoll zu nutzen. Deshalb sind derartige Schubkästen, die beispielsweise vielfach auch als Topfschränke genutzt werden, üblicherweise auf Teleskopschienen geführt und translatorisch aus ihrer Schließstellung in ihre Öffnungsbewegung zu überführen, so dass eine Bedienperson aus ihnen nur in dieser tiefgelegenen Stellung platzierte Gegenstände entnehmen kann. Dies erschwert die Handhabung derartiger Schubkästen.The swivel range and thus the space that has to be made available for the swiveling process of such a tray is considerable and cannot be used for other storage purposes. Therefore, such lift fittings are for other furniture items such as drawers in the lower area of a kitchen cabinet, for example a kitchen cabinet arranged can be useful to use. Therefore, such drawers, which are often used as cup cabinets, for example, are usually guided on telescopic rails and translationally transferred from their closed position to their opening movement, so that an operator can only remove objects placed in this lower position. This makes it difficult to handle such drawers.

Aus der US 2,590,341 A ist ein Liftbeschlag der eingangs genannte Art bekannt, bei dem am Möbelkorpus und am Einrichtungsgegenstand festgelegte Scharnierhebel vorgesehen sind, die paarweise eine der Außenseite des Einrichtungsgegenstandes zugeordnete Viergelenkhebelanordnung bilden. Der Viergelenkhebelanordnung ist eine Längsführung mit Endanschlägen für den Einrichtungsgegenstand zugeordnet. Die dortige Schublade ist nur auf einer Seite mit Scharnierhebeln versehen. Diese Anordnung ist jedoch in einer hochverschwenkten Lage nicht festzustellen.From the U.S. 2,590,341 A a lift fitting of the type mentioned is known, in which fixed hinge levers are provided on the furniture body and on the piece of furniture, which in pairs form a four-bar lever arrangement assigned to the outside of the piece of furniture. The four-bar lever arrangement is assigned a longitudinal guide with end stops for the piece of furniture. The drawer there is only provided with hinge levers on one side. However, this arrangement cannot be determined in a highly pivoted position.

Aus der WO 2014/033092 A1 ist eine Schiebe-Schwenk-Mechanik für eine Ablage eines Möbels oder für ein Haushaltsgerät zum Ausziehen und Anheben der Ablage bzw. des Haushaltsgerätes aus einem Korpus des Möbels bekannt. Dort sind wenigstens zwei an mindestens einer der Seitenwände des Korpus mit einem ersten parallel zur Ebene der Seitenwände drehbar festgelegte und parallel zu einander beabstandet angeordnete Schwenkarme vorgesehen, wobei an jeweiligen zweiten Enden der Schwenkarme eine Führungsschiene derart parallel zur Ebene der Seitenwände schwenkbar festgelegt ist, dass die Führungsschiene aus einer unteren Position innerhalb des Korpus in eine angehobene obere Position zumindest teilweise außerhalb des Korpus verschwenkbar ist. In dieser Position ist jedoch die Schiebe-Schwenk-Mechanik nicht mit baulich vernünftigen Mitteln zu sichern.From the WO 2014/033092 A1 a slide-swivel mechanism for a shelf of a piece of furniture or for a household appliance for pulling out and lifting the shelf or the household appliance from a body of the furniture is known. There at least two pivot arms are provided on at least one of the side walls of the body with a first pivot arms that are rotatably fixed parallel to the plane of the side walls and are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another, with a guide rail being pivotably fixed parallel to the plane of the side walls at respective second ends of the pivot arms such that the guide rail from a lower position within the body to a raised upper position at least partially can be pivoted outside the body. In this position, however, the slide-swivel mechanism cannot be secured with structurally sensible means.

Ähnliches gilt auch für die Lift-Anordnung gemäß der US 2008/129,168 A1 , in der ein Geschirrkorb eines Geschirrspülers aus einer unteren Betriebsstellung in eine vor dem Geschirrspüler gelegene erhöhte Bedienstellung überführt werden kann. Dazu sind aufwändige Feder- und Gasdruckfederelemente erforderlich, die ein sicheres Feststellen in der erhöhten Position jedoch ebenfalls nicht ermöglichen.The same applies to the lift arrangement according to FIG US 2008 / 129,168 A1 , in which a crockery basket of a dishwasher can be transferred from a lower operating position to an elevated operating position in front of the dishwasher. Complex spring and gas pressure spring elements are required for this purpose, which, however, also do not allow secure locking in the elevated position.

Aus der US 2005/206,282 A1 ist eine ähnliche Schwenkanordnung bekannt wie aus der vorgenannten US 2008/129,168 A1 , wobei dort jedoch die Schwenkhebelanordnung nicht an einem Geschirrspüler, sondern an einem normalen Schrankkorpus vorgesehen ist und sich das an der Schwenkanordnung befestigte Tablar in eine Hochstellung überführen lässt, in der es als Arbeitsfläche die obere Arbeitsfläche des Schrankkorpus vergrößert.From the US 2005 / 206,282 A1 a similar pivot arrangement is known as from the aforementioned US 2008 / 129,168 A1 However, there the pivot lever arrangement is not provided on a dishwasher, but on a normal cabinet body and the tray attached to the pivot arrangement can be moved into an upright position in which it enlarges the upper work surface of the cabinet body as a work surface.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Liftbeschlag für Einrichtungsgegenstände von Möbeln zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem sich Einrichtungsgegenstände aus einer in einem Möbelkorpus gelegenen Schließstellung in eine Öffnungsstellung überführen lassen, in der sich in ergonomisch verbesserter Weise der Einrichtungsgegenstand handhaben lässt.It is the object of the present invention to provide a lift fitting for furnishings of furniture with which furnishings can be transferred from a closed position in a furniture body to an open position in which the furnishings can be handled in an ergonomically improved manner.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe zeichnet sich der Liftbeschlag durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale aus.To solve this problem, the lift fitting is characterized by the features specified in claim 1.

Aufgrund der vorgesehenen Endanschläge kann der Einrichtungsgegenstand zunächst soweit herausgezogen werden, bis ein erster Endanschlag einen weiteren Auszugweg blockiert. In dieser Stellung hat der Einrichtungsgegenstand seine Öffnungszwischenstellung eingenommen. Durch einen zweiten Endanschlag, der als Widerlager an einem der Scharnierhebel der jeweiligen Viergelenkhebelanordnung vorgesehen ist, kann dieses Widerlager als zweiter Endanschlag derart in die Längsführung eintauchen, dass dieses Widerlager als zweiter Endanschlag während einer weiteren Hochschwenkbewegung aus der Öffnungszwischenstellung in eine verschwenkte Hochstellung die Möglichkeit blockiert, dass der Einrichtungsgegenstand relativ zu den Viergelenkhebelanordnungen verschoben, also translatorisch bewegt werden kann.Due to the end stops provided, the piece of furniture can initially be pulled out until a first end stop blocks a further pull-out path. In this position the piece of furniture has assumed its intermediate opening position. By means of a second end stop, which is provided as an abutment on one of the hinge levers of the respective four-bar lever arrangement, this abutment can dip into the longitudinal guide as a second end stop in such a way that this abutment as a second end stop blocks the possibility during a further upward pivoting movement from the intermediate opening position into a pivoted upward position that the piece of furniture can be displaced relative to the four-bar lever arrangements, ie moved in a translatory manner.

In der hochgeschwenkten Öffnungshochstellung kann ein derartiger Einrichtungsgegenstand so hochgeschwenkt werden, dass er vor dem Möbelkorpus bzw. einem anderen Einrichtungsgegenstand, beispielsweise einem höher angeordneten Schubkasten gelegen ist. Der Hochschwenkvorgang kann durch mechanische oder motorische Hilfsmittel unterstützt werden, beispielsweise durch Federn oder durch elektrische Antriebe.In the swiveled-up opening high position, such a piece of furniture can be swiveled up so that it is located in front of the furniture body or another piece of furniture, for example a drawer arranged higher up. The pivoting up process can be supported by mechanical or motorized aids, for example by springs or electric drives.

Ebenfalls ist es möglich, dass die Viergelenkhebelanordnung automatisch arretiert wird, sobald sie die geöffnete Öffnungshochstellung erreicht hat. Es ist aber ebenfalls möglich, den zweiten Endanschlag so zu platzieren und mitbewegen zu lassen, dass er bei Einnahme der verschwenkten Öffnungshochstellung die Verriegelung der translatorischen Verfahrmöglichkeit des Einrichtungsgegenstandes auflöst, so dass z. B. durch eine translatorische Relativbewegung des Einrichtungsgegenstandes auf den Möbelkörper zu und damit durch eine translatorische Bewegung relativ zu der hochverschwenkten Viergelenkhebelanordnung die Verriegelung durchgeführt wird und durch eine gegensinnige Bewegung die Verriegelung wieder aufgehoben wird, wonach die Viergelenkhebelanordnungen wieder zurück in ihre Öffnungszwischenstellung dann nach weiterer translatorischer Bewegung in ihre im Schranckorpus gelegene Schließstellung bewegt werden.It is also possible for the four-bar lever arrangement to be automatically locked as soon as it has reached the open high position. However, it is also possible to place the second end stop and have it move with it in such a way that it engages the lock when the pivoted opening high position is assumed the translational movement of the piece of furniture dissolves, so that z. B. by a translational relative movement of the piece of furniture towards the furniture body and thus by a translational movement relative to the highly pivoted four-bar lever arrangement, the locking is carried out and the locking is released again by a movement in the opposite direction, after which the four-bar lever arrangements back into their intermediate opening position then after further translational Movement are moved into their closed position located in the cabinet body.

Um den Einrichtungsgegenstand in der Schwenkbewegung aus der Öffnungszwischenstellung in die vor dem Schrankkorpus gelegene geschwenkte Hochstellung zu arretieren mittels der Widerlager, die als drehbare Rollenkörper ausgeführt sind, kann an jeder Seite des Einrichtungsgegenstandes ein Kulissenstück vorgesehen sein, z. B. mit einem abgerundeten Kulissenstückkopfbereich, an dem der Rollenkörper als Widerlager im Verlaufe von Bewegungen abrollen kann.In order to lock the piece of furniture in the pivoting movement from the intermediate opening position into the pivoted raised position in front of the cabinet body by means of the abutments, which are designed as rotatable roller bodies, a link piece can be provided on each side of the piece of furniture, e.g. B. with a rounded link piece head area on which the roller body can roll as an abutment in the course of movements.

Allgemein mit 1 ist in der Zeichnung ein Möbel in Gestalt eines Küchenunterschrankmöbels beziffert mit einem Möbelkorpus 2, einem Boden 2.1, einer Rückwand 2.2, im Einzelnen nicht sichtbare Seitenwände 2.3 sowie einer Korpusabdeckung 2.4. Als Einrichtungsgegenstand hat dieses Möbel einen unteren Schubkasten 3 mit einer Schubkastenfront 4 und einen weiteren, im Einzelnen nicht näher dargestellten oberen Schubkasten 5. Der Schubkasten 3 hat eine Viergelenkhebelanordnung 6 mit Scharnierhebeln 7 und 8, die einerseits gelenkig am Möbelkorpus 2 und andererseits gelenkig an dem Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 angeordnet sind. Die Scharnierhebel 7 und 8 sind noch gelenkig über einen Querverbinder 9 miteinander verbunden.Generally with 1 in the drawing is a piece of furniture in the form of a kitchen cabinet furniture with a furniture body 2, a base 2.1, a rear wall 2.2, side walls 2.3, which are not visible in detail, and a body cover 2.4. As a piece of furniture, this piece of furniture has a lower drawer 3 with a drawer front 4 and another upper drawer 5, not shown in detail. The drawer 3 has a four-bar lever arrangement 6 with hinge levers 7 and 8, which are hinged on the furniture body 2 on the one hand and hinged on the piece of furniture 3 on the other. The hinge levers 7 and 8 are still connected to one another in an articulated manner via a transverse connector 9.

Der Schubkasten 3 ist translatorisch in zu beiden Außenseiten des Einrichtungsgegenstandes 3 vorgesehenen Längsführungen 10 bewegbar. Diese Längsführungen 10 haben Endanschläge, wobei ein erster Endanschlag innerhalb der jeweiligen Längsführung 10 gelegen ist, und ein zweiter Endanschlag jeweils an dem Scharnierhebel 8 zu beiden Seiten des Einrichtungsgegenstandes 3 vorgesehen ist in Gestalt eines Widerlagers 11, das durch eine drehbare Rolle gebildet ist. Diese wirkt mit einem Kulissenstück 12 zusammen mit einem abgerundeten Kopfbereich 12.1, wobei das Widerlager 11 als zweiter Endanschlag in verschiedene Positionen zu bringen ist in Relation zur Lage des Einrichtungsgegenstandes 3, wie dies die Fig. 1 bis 5 verdeutlichen.The drawer 3 can be moved in a translatory manner in longitudinal guides 10 provided on both outer sides of the furniture item 3. These longitudinal guides 10 have end stops, a first end stop being located within the respective longitudinal guide 10, and a second end stop being provided on the hinge lever 8 on both sides of the piece of furniture 3 in the form of an abutment 11, which is formed by a rotatable roller. This works with a link piece 12 together with a rounded head area 12.1, the abutment 11 being the second end stop to be brought into different positions in relation to the position of the item of furniture 3, as is the case Figs. 1 to 5 clarify.

In Fig. 1 ist der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 mitsamt der Frontplatte 4 in der Schließstellung gezeigt, in dem der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3, also der Schubkasten, innerhalb des Möbels, also innerhalb des Schrankkorpus 2 gelegen ist und die Frontplatte 4 den Schubkasten 3 nach vorne hin abschließt.In Fig. 1 the furnishing 3 together with the front panel 4 is shown in the closed position, in which the furnishing 3, ie the drawer, is located within the furniture, ie inside the cabinet body 2 and the front panel 4 closes the drawer 3 towards the front.

In Fig. 2 ist der Schubkasten 3 und mithin der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 in eine Öffnungszwischenstellung translatorisch bewegt, entsprechend der Pfeilrichtung 13. Ersichtlich ist der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 translatorisch relativ zu den Viergelenkhebelanordnungen 6 in der Fig. 2 nach rechts verschoben. Die Viergelenkhebelanordnungen 6 haben ihre Ausgangsstellung noch nicht verlassen. Jedoch ist aufgrund der relativen translatorischen Bewegung des Einrichtungsgegenstandes 3 in die Öffnungszwischenstellung das Widerlager 11, das sich in der Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 1 noch oberhalb des Kulissenstückes 12 befunden hat, nunmehr lageversetzt, indem sich auch das Kulissenstück 12 mitsamt dem Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 von dem Widerlager 11 in Fig. 2 nach rechts wegbewegt hat.In Fig. 2 the drawer 3 and consequently the item of furniture 3 is moved translationally into an intermediate opening position, in accordance with the direction of the arrow 13. The item of furniture 3 can be seen translationally relative to the four-bar lever arrangements 6 in FIG Fig. 2 moved to the right. The four-bar lever arrangements 6 have not yet left their starting position. However, due to the relative translational movement of the piece of furniture 3 in the intermediate opening position, the abutment 11, which is in the closed position according to FIG Fig. 1 was still located above the link piece 12, now shifted in position, in that the link piece 12 together with the item of furniture 3 from the abutment 11 in Fig. 2 moved to the right.

In Fig. 3 ist die Hochwenkbewegung aus der Öffnungszwischenstellung gemäß Fig. 2 eingeleitet worden gemäß einer Schwenkbewegung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gemäß Pfeilrichtung 14 nach vorne und oben, wobei die Viergelenkhebelanordnungen 6 diese Schwenkbewegungen steuern. Das Widerlager 11 in Gestalt der drehbaren Rolle ist aufgrund der Schwenkbewegung hinter das Kulissenstück 12 verschwenkt, so dass es nunmehr als zweiter Endanschlag der Längsführungen 10 dient (zu beiden Seiten jeweils eine drehbare Rolle 11), so dass während dieser Hochschwenkbewegung der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 gehindert ist, auch unbeabsichtigt nach innen translatorisch verschoben zu werden. Diese Hochschwenkbewegung kann im Übrigen über mechanische Elemente wie Federn, aber auch elektrische Antriebe unterstützt sein.In Fig. 3 is the pivoting movement from the intermediate opening position according to Fig. 2 has been initiated according to a counterclockwise pivoting movement in the direction of arrow 14 forwards and upwards, the four-bar lever arrangements 6 controlling these pivoting movements. The abutment 11 in the form of the rotatable roller is pivoted behind the link piece 12 due to the pivoting movement, so that it now serves as a second end stop for the longitudinal guides 10 (a rotatable roller 11 on each side), so that the item of furniture 3 is prevented during this upward pivoting movement to be moved translationally inward, even inadvertently. This pivoting up movement can also be supported by mechanical elements such as springs, but also by electrical drives.

In Fig. 4 sind der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 sowie die Viergelenkhebelanordnungen 6 weiter in Pfeilrichtung 14 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt und haben die hochgeschwenkte Öffnungsstellung erreicht, in der sich der Schubkasten (Einrichtungsgegenstand 3) vor dem Möbelkorpus 2 befindet, jedoch noch mit einem gewissen Abstand zu der Frontplatte 5 des oberen Schubkastens.In Fig. 4 The furnishing 3 and the four-bar lever arrangements 6 are further pivoted counterclockwise in the direction of arrow 14 and have reached the swiveled-up open position in which the drawer (furnishing 3) is in front of the furniture body 2, but still at a certain distance from the front panel 5 of the upper one Drawer.

Das Widerlager 11 als zweiter Endanschlag der Längsführung 10 befindet sich nun in einer Hochebene unterhalb des Kulissenstückes 12, so dass es als Endanschlag die Längsführung 10 wieder freigegeben hat, so dass der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 bis nahe an den Möbelkorpus 2 gemäß der Pfeilrichtung 15 wieder zurückgeschoben werden kann. Durch diese Bewegung kann auch eine mechanische Verriegelung eingeleitet werden für den Einrichtungsgegenstand 3. Der Schubkasten und mithin der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 ist nun von oben her in wesentlich ergonomisch freizügiger Weise zugänglich, ohne dass sich eine Bedienperson groß bücken muss. Der untere Schubkasten 3 ist mithin in etwa in einer Greifhöhe gelegen, in der auch ein teleskopierbarer Schubkasten 5 sich in seiner Öffnungsstellung befinden würde. Durch eine gegensinnige Rückstellbewegung gegenüber der Pfeilrichtung 15 gemäß Fig. 5 kann eine Entriegelung des Einrichtungsgegenstandes 3 erfolgen und der Schubkasten 3 wieder durch umgekehrte Bewegungsabfolgen in die untere Öffnungszwischenstellung überführt werden, wobei während dieser Schwenkbewegung der zweite Endanschlag 11 in Gestalt des Widerlagers 11 (drehbare Rolle) wiederum eine unbeabsichtigte translatorische Relativbewegung zwischen Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 und Viergelenkhebelanordnungen 6 verhindert, wonach nach Einnahme der Öffnungszwischenstellung (Fig. 2) der Einrichtungsgegenstand 3 wieder durch eine translatorische Relativbewegung entlang der Längsführungen 1 bis zurück in die im Möbelkorpus 2 gelegene Schließstellung zurück bewegt werden kann.The abutment 11 as the second end stop of the longitudinal guide 10 is now located in a plateau below the link piece 12, so that it has released the longitudinal guide 10 again as an end stop, so that the furniture item 3 can be pushed back up to close to the furniture body 2 in the direction of arrow 15 can. This movement can also initiate a mechanical locking for the item of furniture 3. The drawer and consequently the item of furniture 3 is now accessible from above in a substantially ergonomically free manner without an operator having to bend down too much. The lower drawer 3 is therefore located approximately at a gripping height at which a telescopic drawer 5 would also be in its open position. By an opposing return movement in relation to the direction of arrow 15 according to FIG Fig. 5 The item of furniture 3 can be unlocked and the drawer 3 can be moved back into the lower intermediate opening position by reversing sequences of movements, with the second end stop 11 in the form of the abutment 11 (rotatable roller) again causing an unintentional translational relative movement between the item of furniture 3 and four-bar lever arrangements 6 during this pivoting movement prevents, which after taking the intermediate opening position ( Fig. 2 ) the furnishing 3 again by a translational relative movement along the longitudinal guides 1 can be moved back to the closed position located in the furniture body 2.
