Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schließstück für eine Schließeinheit, aufweisend ein Gehäuse mit einer Gehäuseöffnung, einen Schließarm, der die Gehäuseöffnung durchgreift und in der Gehäuseöffnung in Richtung rechtwinklig zu seiner Längsrichtung verschiebbar gelagert ist, und einen im Gehäuse in der Verschieberichtung des Schließarms verschiebbar geführten Schieber, der mit dem Schließarm in der Verschieberichtung bewegungsgekoppelt ist. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung auch eine Schließeinheit mit einem solchen Schließstück.The invention relates to a locking piece for a locking unit, comprising a housing with a housing opening, a locking arm which extends through the housing opening and is mounted in the housing opening so that it can be displaced in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal direction, and a slide which is guided in the housing in a displaceable manner in the displacement direction of the closing arm, which is coupled to the closing arm for movement in the direction of displacement. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a locking unit with such a locking piece.

Ein solches Schließstück mit einem schwimmend gelagerten Schließarm ist beispielsweise durch die DE 10 2012 013 702 A1 oder FR3010116 A bekannt geworden.Such a closing piece with a floating closing arm is, for example, by the DE 10 2012 013 702 A1 or FR3010116 A known.

Drehtüren und Schubladen werden in der Regel über Scharniere bzw. Führungen im Möbel gelagert. Die Drehtüren, Schubladen des Möbelkorpus sowie die Beschläge selbst sind einbaubedingt mit Toleranzen behaftet. Des Weiteren ist durch die Nutzung und Beladung/Betätigung der Türen und Schubladen im Möbel über die Zeit ein gewisses Setzverhalten nicht auszuschließen. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass das Schließstück nicht ausreichend in den Schlossmund einfährt oder nicht oder nur schwer in Schließstellung gebracht werden kann. Das Schließstück fluchtet dann nicht mehr mit dem Schlossmund. Es ist daher erforderlich, beim Schließstück eine Verstellbarkeit, z.B. in Form von Langlöchern, vorzusehen, damit der Schließarm stets in die gewünschte Lage relativ zum Schlossmund (nach)justiert werden kann. Derartige Justierarbeiten sind verhältnismäßig mühsam durchzuführen und zeitaufwendig.Revolving doors and drawers are usually mounted on hinges or guides in the furniture. The revolving doors, drawers of the furniture body and the fittings themselves are subject to tolerances due to installation. Furthermore, a certain settling behavior cannot be ruled out over time due to the use and loading/operation of the doors and drawers in the furniture. As a result, it is possible that the locking piece does not move sufficiently into the lock mouth or cannot be brought into the closed position, or only with difficulty. The locking piece then no longer aligns with the lock mouth. It is therefore necessary to provide adjustability for the locking piece, e.g. in the form of elongated holes, so that the locking arm can always be (re)adjusted to the desired position relative to the lock mouth. Such adjustment work is relatively difficult to carry out and time-consuming.

Das aus der eingangs genannten DE 10 2012 013 702 A1 bekannte Schließstück weist eine in einen Türflügel einbaubare Rahmenplatte sowie eine Lagerplatte auf, in der ein Türbügel aufgenommen ist. Die Lagerplatte ist in einer zur Längsrichtung des Türbügels senkrechten Ebene schwimmend in der Rahmenplatte gelagert. Das Bewegungsspiel der schwimmend gelagerten Lagerplatte ist durch ein elastisches Reibungselement gebremst, das die Lagerplatte in ihrer Verschiebeposition ohne äußere Krafteinwirkung festgelegt. In der Schließposition ist der Türbügel in den Schlossmund eines Schlosses eingefahren und darin verriegelt. Durch die schwimmende Lagerung der Lagerplatte ist sichergestellt, dass der mit der Lagerplatte verbundene Türbügel stets die optimale Lage im Schlossmund einnimmt und diese optimale Lage auch beibehält. Allerdings kann das elastische Reibungselement im Laufe der Zeit, z.B. aufgrund von Alterung, Abnutzung oder sonstigem Verschleiß, an Spannkraft verlieren.That from the one mentioned at the beginning DE 10 2012 013 702 A1 known closing piece has a frame plate that can be installed in a door leaf and a bearing plate in which a door handle is accommodated. The bearing plate is mounted in a floating manner in the frame plate in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the door handle. The movement of the floating bearing plate is slowed down by an elastic friction element that fixes the bearing plate in its displacement position without external force. In the closed position, the door handle is moved into the lock mouth of a lock and locked therein. The floating bearing of the bearing plate ensures that the door handle connected to the bearing plate always assumes the optimal position in the lock mouth and also maintains this optimal position. However, the elastic friction element can lose its resilience over time, for example due to aging, wear and tear or other wear.

Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein möglichst verschleißfreies, selbstjustierendes, positionshaltendes Schließstück für die Verriegelung von Schlössern anzugeben.In contrast, the invention is based on the object of specifying a self-adjusting, position-retaining closing piece for locking locks that is as wear-free as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei dem Schließstück der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Gehäuse und/oder der Schieber aus magnetisch anziehbarem Material gebildet sind und dass zwischen Gehäuse und Schieber mindestens ein Magnet wirkt, der den Schließarm in jeder innerhalb der Gehäuseöffnung möglichen Verschiebeposition lagefixiert.In the case of the closing piece of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the housing and/or the slide are made of magnetically attractable material and that between the housing and the slide at least one magnet acts, which fixes the position of the locking arm in any possible displacement position within the housing opening.

Erfindungsgemäß übt der Magnet auf das Gehäuse und/oder den Schieber eine anziehende Kraft aus, so dass zwischen dem Magneten und dem Schieber bzw. Gehäuse jeweils Reibungskräfte wirken. Dadurch wird zwischen dem Magneten und dem Schieber bzw. Gehäuse ein Reibschluss bewirkt, der den Schließarm in jeder innerhalb der Gehäuseöffnung möglichen Verschiebeposition hält bzw. lagefixiert. Eine stufenlose Verschiebung des Schiebers und des Schließarms ist durch eine den Reibschluss überwindende Krafteinwirkung in Verschieberichtung auf den Schließarm und damit auf den Schieber möglich. Der Schließarm justiert sich somit beim Einfahren in den Schlossmund in Bezug auf die Position des Schlossmundes selbst und wird nach dem Ausfahren aus dem Schlossmund von dem Magneten in der justierten Stellung gehalten. Die Lagefixierung des Schiebers erfolgt durch den Magneten auf verschleißfreie Art und Weise. Die Magnete können zusätzlich dafür verwendet werden, um einen Reed-Kontakt (Überwachungskontakt) am Schloßmund zu betätigen.According to the invention, the magnet exerts an attractive force on the housing and/or the slide, so that frictional forces act between the magnet and the slide or housing. This causes a frictional connection between the magnet and the slide or housing, which holds or fixes the locking arm in any possible displacement position within the housing opening. A stepless displacement of the slide and the closing arm is possible by a force overcoming the frictional engagement in the displacement direction on the closing arm and thus on the slide. The locking arm thus adjusts itself when entering the lock mouth in relation to the position of the lock mouth and is held in the adjusted position by the magnet after moving out of the lock mouth. The position of the slide is fixed by the magnet in a wear-free manner. The magnets can also be used to actuate a reed contact (monitoring contact) on the lock mouth.

Für den Fall, dass das Gehäuse und der Schieber beide aus magnetisch anziehbarem Material gebildet sind, ist der mindestens eine Magnet besonders bevorzugt zwischen Gehäuse und Schieber angeordnet, d.h., der Magnet haftet sowohl am Gehäuse als auch am Schieber und fixiert dadurch den Schieber in seiner jeweiligen Verschiebeposition zum Gehäuse. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann der mindestens eine Magnet am Gehäuse oder am Schieber befestigt, insbesondere angeklebt sein.In the event that the housing and the slide are both made of magnetically attractable material, the at least one magnet is particularly preferably arranged between the housing and the slide, i.e. the magnet adheres to both the housing and the slide and thereby fixes the slide in its position respective displacement position to the housing. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one magnet can be attached to the housing or to the slide, in particular glued on.

Vorzugsweise weist das Schließstück mindestens zwei Magnete auf, die, gesehen in Verschieberichtung, zu beiden Seiten des Schließarms angeordnet sind, um so einen bezüglich des Schließarms symmetrischen Reibschluss zu erreichen.Preferably, the closing piece has at least two magnets which, seen in the direction of displacement, are arranged on both sides of the closing arm in order to achieve a frictional connection that is symmetrical with respect to the closing arm.

Vorteilhaft kann das die Gehäuseöffnung durchgreifende, freie Ende des Schließarms als Schließbügel oder Schließöse ausgebildet sein.Advantageously, the free end of the locking arm reaching through the housing opening can be designed as a locking clip or locking eyelet.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind der Schließarm und der Schieber in einer zur Verschieberichtung rechtwinkligen Richtung ineinander gesteckt und dadurch in Verschieberichtung miteinander bewegungsgekoppelt. Alternativ können der Schließarm und der Schieber aber auch einteilig ausgebildet sein.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the closing arm and the slide are plugged into one another in a direction at right angles to the direction of displacement and are thus coupled to one another for movement in the direction of displacement. Alternatively, the closing arm and the slide can also be designed in one piece.

Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine - z.B. mechanische oder elektronische - Schließeinheit mit einem einen Schlossmund aufweisenden Schloss, insbesondere Möbelschloss, und mit einem wie oben ausgebildeten Schließstück, dessen Schließarm in der Schließposition des Schlosses in den Schlossmund eingefahren und darin verriegelt ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird der Schließarm im Schlossmund gegen die vom Magneten bewirkten Reibungskräfte stufenlos in Verschieberichtung in die jeweils korrekte Position verschoben, die dann vom Magneten gehalten bleibt.The invention also relates to a - e.g. mechanical or electronic - locking unit with a lock having a lock mouth, in particular a furniture lock, and with a locking piece designed as above, the locking arm of which is inserted into the lock mouth and locked therein when the lock is in the closed position. According to the invention, the locking arm in the lock mouth is continuously shifted in the direction of displacement into the correct position, which is then held by the magnet, against the frictional forces caused by the magnet.

Vorzugsweise weist der Schlossmund eine Einlaufschräge auf, um die Verschiebung des Schließarms beim Einschieben in den Schlossmund zu erleichtern.The lock mouth preferably has an entry slope in order to facilitate the displacement of the locking arm when it is pushed into the lock mouth.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und der Zeichnung. Ebenso können die vorstehenden genannten und die noch weiter aufgeführten Merkmale je für sich oder zu mehreren in beliebigen Kombinationen Verwendung finden. Die gezeigte und beschriebene Ausführungsform ist nicht abschließend zu verstehen, sondern hat vielmehr beispielhaften Charakter für die Schilderung der Erfindung.Further advantages of the invention result from the description, the claims and the drawing. Likewise, the features mentioned above and those listed below can each be used individually or together in any combination. The embodiment shown and described is not to be understood as conclusive, but rather has an exemplary character for the description of the invention.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Schließstück 1 für eine Schließeinheit 20 (Fig. 2) umfasst ein Gehäuse 2 mit einer Gehäuseöffnung 3, einen waagerechten Schließarm 4, der die Gehäuseöffnung 3 durchgreift und in der Gehäuseöffnung 3 in vertikaler Verschieberichtung 5, also rechtwinklig zu seiner Längsrichtung 6, höhenverschiebbar gelagert ist, sowie einen im Gehäuse 2 in der Verschieberichtung 5 verschiebbar geführten Schieber 7, der mit dem Schließarm 4 in Verschieberichtung 5 bewegungsgekoppelt ist. Die Öffnungsbreite D der Gehäuseöffnung 3 in Verschieberichtung 5 ist größer als die Dicke d des Schließarms 4, wodurch der Schließarm 4 innerhalb der Gehäuseöffnung 3 in Verschieberichtung 5 verschiebbar ist. Das rückseitig offene Gehäuse 2 ist durch eine Abdeckung 2a verschlossen.This in 1 Closing piece 1 shown for a closing unit 20 ( 2 ) comprises a housing 2 with a housing opening 3, a horizontal locking arm 4, which reaches through the housing opening 3 and is mounted in the housing opening 3 so that it can be displaced vertically in the vertical displacement direction 5, i.e. at right angles to its longitudinal direction 6, and one in the housing 2 in the displacement direction 5 slidably guided slide 7, which is coupled to the closing arm 4 for movement in the direction of displacement 5. The opening width D of the housing opening 3 in the displacement direction 5 is greater than the thickness d of the closing arm 4, as a result of which the closing arm 4 can be displaced within the housing opening 3 in the displacement direction 5. The rear open housing 2 is closed by a cover 2a .

Das die Gehäuseöffnung 3 durchgreifende, freie Ende des Schließarms 4 weist eine Schließöse 8 zur Verriegelung in einem Schloss auf. Das andere Ende des Schließarms 4 ist in eine Öffnung 9 des Schiebers 7 eingesteckt, wodurch der Schließarm 4 mit dem Schieber 7 in Verschieberichtung 5 bewegungsgekoppelt ist. Alternativ können der Schließarm 4 und der Schieber 7 auch einteilig ausgebildet sein.The free end of the locking arm 4 reaching through the housing opening 3 has a locking eyelet 8 for locking in a lock. The other end of the closing arm 4 is inserted into an opening 9 of the slide 7, as a result of which the closing arm 4 is coupled for movement to the slide 7 in the direction of displacement 5. Alternatively, the closing arm 4 and the slide 7 can also be designed in one piece.

Zwischen dem Gehäuse 2 und dem Schieber 7, die beide aus magnetisch anziehbarem Material gebildet sind, sind zwei Magnete 10 angeordnet, die den Schieber 7 und damit auch den Schließarm 4 in jeder innerhalb der Gehäuseöffnung 3 möglichen Verschiebeposition lagefixieren. Die beiden Magnete 10 sind, gesehen in Verschieberichtung 5, zu beiden Seiten des Schließarms 4 angeordnet und haften einenends am Gehäuse 3 und anderenends am Schieber 7. Durch den Reibschluss der Magnete 10 mit dem Gehäuse 3 und Schieber 7 bleibt der Schließarm 4 in seiner jeweiligen Verschiebeposition innerhalb der Gehäuseöffnung 3 gehalten bzw. lagefixiert. Eine stufenlose Verschiebung des Schiebers 7 und des Schließarms 4 ist durch eine den Reibschluss überwindende äußere Krafteinwirkung in Verschieberichtung 5 auf den Schließarm 4 und damit auf den Schieber 7 möglich.Between the housing 2 and the slider 7, both of which are made of magnetically attractable material, two magnets 10 are arranged, which fix the position of the slider 7 and thus also the locking arm 4 in any possible displacement position within the housing opening 3. The two magnets 10 are arranged on both sides of the closing arm 4, viewed in the direction of displacement 5, and adhere to the housing 3 at one end and to the slide 7 at the other end. The closing arm 4 remains in its respective position due to the frictional connection of the magnets 10 with the housing 3 and slide 7 Shift position held within the housing opening 3 or fixed in position. A stepless displacement of the slide 7 and the closing arm 4 is possible by an external force in the displacement direction 5 that overcomes the frictional engagement on the closing arm 4 and thus on the slide 7 .

Das Gehäuse 2 hat zu beiden Seiten der Gehäuseöffnung 3 jeweils ein Schraubloch, um das Schließstück 1 z.B. an eine Tür anschrauben zu können. Alternativ kann das Schließstück 1 aber auch an die Tür aufgeklebt werden, so dass in diesem Fall das Gehäuse keine Schraublöcher aufzuweisen braucht.The housing 2 has a screw hole on each side of the housing opening 3 in order to be able to screw the locking piece 1, for example, to a door. Alternatively However, the locking piece 1 can also be glued to the door, so that in this case the housing does not need to have any screw holes.

Die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Schließeinheit 20 besteht aus einem mechanisch oder elektronisch betätigbaren Möbelschloss 21 mit einem Schlossmund 22 und dem erfindungsgemäßen Schließstück 1, dessen Schließarm 4 in der Schließposition des Möbelschlosses 21 in den Schlossmund 22 eingefahren und darin verriegelt ist. Der Schließarm 4 justiert sich somit beim Einfahren in den Schlossmund 22 in Bezug auf dessen Höhenposition selbst und bleibt nach dem Ausfahren aus dem Schlossmund 22 durch die Magnet 10 in der justierten Stellung gehalten. Die Magnete 10 können zusätzlich auch dafür verwendet werden, um einen am Schloßmund 22 angeordneten Reed-Kontakt (Überwachungskontakt) zu betätigen, wenn der Schließarm 4 in den Schlossmund 22 eingefahren ist.In the 2 The locking unit 20 shown consists of a mechanically or electronically operable furniture lock 21 with a lock mouth 22 and the locking piece 1 according to the invention, the locking arm 4 of which is retracted into the lock mouth 22 in the closed position of the furniture lock 21 and locked therein. The locking arm 4 thus adjusts itself when entering the lock mouth 22 in relation to its height position and remains held by the magnet 10 in the adjusted position after it has been moved out of the lock mouth 22 . The magnets 10 can also be used to actuate a reed contact (monitoring contact) arranged on the lock mouth 22 when the locking arm 4 has been moved into the lock mouth 22 .

In Fig. 2 wird der Schließarm 4 von der Stirnseite her in den Schlossmund 22 des Möbelschlosses 21 eingefahren, also in Längsrichtung des Möbelschlosses 21, z.B. bei einer Schiebetür. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Schließstück 1 seitlich des Möbelschlosses 21 anzuordnen, so dass der Schließarm 4 von der Seite her in den Schlossmund 22 eingefahren wird, also in Querrichtung des Möbelschlosses 21, z.B. bei einer Schwenktür.In 2 the locking arm 4 is retracted from the front side into the lock mouth 22 of the furniture lock 21, ie in the longitudinal direction of the furniture lock 21, for example in the case of a sliding door. However, it is also possible to arrange the closing piece 1 to the side of the furniture lock 21 so that the locking arm 4 is moved into the lock mouth 22 from the side, ie in the transverse direction of the furniture lock 21, for example in the case of a pivoting door.

Der Schließarm 4 befindet sich in Fig. 3a in seiner in der Gehäuseöffnung 3 mittleren Verschiebeposition, in Fig. 3b in seiner in der Gehäuseöffnung 3 oberen Verschiebeendposition und in Fig. 3c in seiner in der Gehäuseöffnung 3 unteren Verschiebeendposition. In jeder möglichen Verschiebeposition ist der Schließarm 4 durch die Magneten 10 lagefixiert gehalten.The locking arm 4 is located in Figure 3a in its middle displacement position in the housing opening 3, in Figure 3b in its upper displacement end position in the housing opening 3 and in 3c in its lower displacement end position in the housing opening 3 . The closing arm 4 is held in a fixed position by the magnets 10 in every possible displacement position.
