Description

The invention relates to a furniture fitting, in particular a hinge, preferably a flap holder, wherein the furniture fitting has a kinematic arrangement with levers and joints, and by means of which a door or a flap can be moved from a closed position to an open position, wherein an actuating arrangement acts on the kinematic arrangement, wherein the actuating arrangement has an actuating element and a holder which is adjustable relative to the actuating element, wherein the actuating element can be moved by a part of the kinematic arrangement and the holder is supported relative to a fastening section or another component of the kinematic arrangement.

The invention further relates to a method for converting a furniture fitting.

Out of DE 10 2015 117 291 B4 A flap holder is known that has a kinematic arrangement. The kinematic arrangement consists of several levers and joints that are operatively connected to one another. Using the kinematic arrangement, a flap with a horizontal pivot axis can be guided between an open and a closed position. Starting from the open position of the flap, it can be adjusted in the direction of the closing movement. An energy accumulator acting on the kinematic arrangement balances the gravity of the flap so that it can be held automatically in any intermediate position over at least part of its adjustment range. During the final part of the closing travel, the energy accumulator introduces a closing force into the kinematic arrangement. This causes the flap to be reliably pulled into the closed position and held there. To prevent the flap from striking hard during this final part of the closing movement, a damping device is provided. This damping device has a damper that acts against the closing force. In this way, the flap can be moved into the closed position in a controlled manner. The damping device has a slide that interacts with a stop on the kinematic assembly. Depending on the desired movement behavior of the flap holder, the stop and thus the impact point of the kinematic assembly can be adjusted.

WO 2011/020130 A1 and WO 2017/152212 A1 show further examples of furniture flaps with a kinematic arrangement consisting of several levers and joints.

Furthermore, hinges are known from the prior art that feature a spring. This spring applies an opening force to the hinge in the closed position to assist the opening movement.

The object of the invention is to provide a furniture fitting of the type mentioned at the outset which enables a wide range of applications with little parts and assembly effort.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the actuating arrangement, in a first operating mode, acts with a damper to dampen between the actuating element and the holder and, in a second operating mode, applies a spring force acting opposite to the damping direction to the actuating element and the holder directly or indirectly by means of a tension spring.

The invention therefore provides for the use of an adapted actuating arrangement for each of the two operating modes. For example, if a first operating mode is to be implemented, in which the closing movement is to be dampened and the furniture fitting is then held in the closed position, an actuating arrangement with a damper is used. If, however, an opening movement is to be supported, an actuating arrangement with a tension spring is used, which is then specifically designed to initiate an opening movement from the closed position or to support the opening movement.

To reduce the number of parts required, the invention utilizes an actuating assembly in which either a damper or a tension spring can be installed by the user to achieve the desired operating mode. Preferably, the furniture fitting has a suitable interface to which the actuating assembly can be easily attached or removed by the user. Unlike the prior art approach, in which an individual fitting was used for each operating mode, the basic structure of the fitting with its kinematic arrangement can now be be retained and only the control arrangement needs to be changed in order to achieve the desired operating mode.

According to a preferred variant of the invention, it is provided that in the two operating modes either only the damper or only the tension spring is installed with the actuating arrangement.

A furniture fitting according to the invention can be designed such that the holder has a fastening piece by means of which it can be exchangeably connected to the kinematic arrangement or the fastening section. The holder is preferably designed as a locking element that interacts with a counter-locking element to form a locking connection. The actuating arrangement can be releasably fastened by means of the fastening piece. If a locking connection is used, the arrangement is preferably designed such that no additional fastening means are necessary.

According to the invention, the actuating arrangement has a receptacle in which either the damper or the tension spring can be installed. Such a furniture fitting is particularly simple in design, and the conversion of the individual operating modes is easy to accomplish. If the holder is provided with a sliding guide on or in which the actuating element is guided linearly, then precise guidance of the actuating element is possible. In this case, it can also be provided, in particular, that the actuating element is adjustable between two end positions, and that the actuating movement of the actuating element is limited in at least one of the two end positions by means of a locking piece.

A variant of the invention can be characterized in that the actuator has a stop which, at least in partial areas of the movement of the The kinematic arrangement interacts with a counter-stop of the kinematic arrangement to cause a displacement of the actuator. This allows the transfer of kinetic energy between the kinematic arrangement and the actuating arrangement to be easily accomplished.

If the counter-stop and/or the stop are additionally designed as or formed by a rolling element, then force transmission between the kinematic arrangement and the actuating arrangement can be achieved essentially free of transverse forces. This leads to lower loading on the actuating arrangement, benefiting improved wear behavior.

A furniture fitting according to the invention can be such that the actuating arrangement has a supporting part, preferably equipped with a handle, and that at least one holding element is provided on the supporting part of the actuating arrangement, wherein the holding element is secured to one of two or more blocking pieces, wherein the blocking pieces are arranged such that the actuating arrangement can be fastened in various mounting positions, and that the actuator of the actuating arrangement assumes a different position in the various mounting positions. In this way, the actuating arrangement can be easily positioned in the various mounting positions. If, for example, the actuating arrangement, as mentioned above, provides a stop for the kinematic arrangement, the position of this stop can be adjusted in order to adjust the point of impact at which the kinematic arrangement meets the stop. This allows the movement of the actuating arrangement to be changed in the respectively selected operating mode. If a handle is provided on the supporting part, a user can manually grasp the actuating arrangement and cancel the current mounting position. The operator can then reposition the actuator assembly and simply reattach it in the desired new mounting position. Operation is simple and intuitive thanks to the predefined handle position.

In this case, the furniture fitting can be such that the supporting part is provided with a guide element, which is preferably guided by the counter-locking element is formed, and that the guide element is preferably linearly adjustable in a guide, wherein the guide is preferably provided in or on a connecting element of the kinematic arrangement.

A particularly preferred variant of the invention can be characterized in that an actuating element is provided that acts between a connecting element of the kinematic arrangement, designed as a lever, and an actuator to generate a clamping force by means of a spring element between the connecting element and the actuator, at least over a partial range of the movement of the kinematic arrangement. This allows an additional clamping force to be introduced into the kinematic arrangement to support an opening or closing movement.

In particular, it can be provided that the actuating element can be installed on the kinematic arrangement in two mounting positions such that, in the first mounting position, it applies a closing force in the closed position of the furniture fitting in the closing direction, and, in the second mounting position, it preferably applies an opening force in the closed position of the furniture fitting in the opening direction. By simply modifying the actuating element, the furniture fitting can be designed either so that it presses the flap or door against the furniture body in the closed position and holds it in the closed position, or so that the actuating element causes or assists the opening of the door or flap.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a method for converting a furniture fitting, in particular a hinge, preferably a flap holder, which has a kinematic arrangement with levers and joints, and by means of which a door or a flap can be moved from a closed position to an open position, wherein an actuating arrangement acts on the kinematic arrangement, wherein the actuating arrangement has an actuating element and a holder which is adjustable relative to the actuating element, wherein the actuating element is movable by a part of the kinematic arrangement and the holder is supported relative to a fastening section or another component of the kinematic arrangement. In order to In order to be able to implement different operating modes with low component expenditure, it is provided that the actuating arrangement acts in a first operating mode with a damper in a damping manner between the actuating element and the holder, that the damper is removed from the actuating arrangement and a tension spring is installed with the actuating arrangement, so that in a second operating mode a spring force acting counter to the damping direction acts directly or indirectly on the actuating element and the holder by means of the tension spring.

In order to reduce the number of parts, it is preferably provided in the furniture fitting that, in the closed position of the furniture fitting, a spring element introduces an opening force in the opening direction into the kinematic arrangement, and that the actuating arrangement applies a spring force, which also acts in the opening direction, to the actuating element and the holder directly or indirectly by means of the tension spring, at least over a partial area of the opening path.

In such a furniture fitting, it can preferably be provided that a locking mechanism is provided which fixes the furniture fitting in the closed position, that after releasing the locking mechanism, which is formed, for example, by an over-travel mechanism, in particular by a push-to-open mechanism, the spring element moves the flap or door into a partially open position and that the tension spring is effective beyond this partially open position and causes a further opening of the flap or door. This can result in particularly convenient operation of a door or furniture flap. After unlocking the locking mechanism The door or flap opens automatically, either fully or partially. This feature is particularly suitable for handleless furniture fronts.

Figure 1 shows a flap holder as a furniture fitting 10. This serves to fix a furniture flap with a horizontal pivot axis to a furniture body 110 (see for example Figure 12 ). For this purpose, furniture fittings 10 are usually attached to opposite sides of the furniture body 110, to which the furniture flap to be moved is attached.

The furniture fitting 10 has a housing 50. A kinematic assembly 30 is housed within this housing 50. The kinematic assembly 30 comprises a multi-axis, so-called linkage chain. Accordingly, the kinematic assembly 30 is formed by several levers that are connected to one another via joints.

A fastening lever 31 is provided on the kinematic assembly 30. This can be used to connect the furniture fitting 10 to the furniture flap (not shown).

The housing 50 is covered by a cover 20. The cover 20 has a front wall 21. Side walls 22 are connected to the front wall 21.

Furthermore, a cover element 23 can be used, which covers the area between two levers, in the present embodiment, an area formed between a first and a second deflection lever 33, 34 of the kinematic arrangement 30. This provides protection against intrusion, preventing a finger from becoming trapped in the area between the two levers during a proper movement of the kinematic arrangement 30.

Figure 2 and 3 show the structure of the kinematic arrangement 30 more clearly. As in particular Figure 3 shows, the kinematic arrangement 30 has the two deflection levers 33, 34 following the fastening lever 31. The 1st deflection lever 33 can be connected to the fastening lever 31 via a 1st joint 32.1. The 2nd deflection lever 34 is also connected to the fastening lever 31 via a 2nd joint 32.2. According to the present exemplary embodiment, it can be provided for this purpose that the fastening lever 31 has a projection 32 to which the two deflection levers 33, 34 are fastened via the 1st and 2nd joints 32.1, 32.2. On the side facing away from the fastening lever 31, the two deflection levers 33, 34 are fastened to a connecting element 36, which is also designed in the form of a lever. Accordingly, the 1st reversing lever 33 is pivotally mounted on the connecting element 36 via a 3rd joint 33.1 and the 2nd reversing lever 34 is pivotally mounted on the connecting element 36 via a 5th joint 34.2. Figure 3 clearly shows that an articulated lever 35 is also provided. The articulated lever 35 is connected to the articulated lever 35 via a 4th joint 34.1. At its end facing away from the 2nd reversing lever 34, the articulated lever 35 is secured to a mounting section 51 of the housing 50 via a 6th joint 35.1.

The connecting element 36 carries an adjusting arrangement 70. Via this arrangement, a force of a damper 71 acting on the kinematic arrangement 30 can be adjusted, as will be explained in more detail later.

The connecting element 36 has a 7th and an 8th joint 36.1, 36.2. The 7th joint 36.1 is fixedly connected to the fastening section 51, so that the connecting element 36 can be pivoted about the pivot point defined by the 7th joint 36.1.

In the area of the 7th joint 36.1, the connecting element 36 has two mounting positions 36.3 and 36.4. At the user's request, the adjusting element 38 can be articulated to one of these two mounting positions 36.3 and 36.4. The selected mounting position depends on the desired operating mode, which will be explained in more detail later. An adjusting lever 39 is pivotally attached to the 8th joint 36.2. The adjusting lever 39 and the adjusting element 38 are each coupled to an actuator 37 via a 9th joint 38.1 and a 10th joint 39.1. The 6th, 7th, and 9th joints 35.1, 36.1, and 38.1 are fixedly connected to the mounting section 51, and the levers 35, 36, and 37 articulated thereto can be pivoted about them.

The holding device 40 can be coupled to the actuator 37. The holding device 40 comprises a spring receptacle 44, which is designed like a housing and accommodates one or more spring elements 43. In this case, the spring elements 43 can be subjected to compressive stress. The spring elements 43 are supported at one end on the spring receptacle 44. The spring elements 43 are pushed onto support elements 45 and, at their other end, are supported on a connecting element 41 to which the support elements 45 are fastened. The connecting element 41 has a pivot bearing 41.1. A pivot lever 42 is coupled to this pivot bearing 41.1, which, like the actuating lever 39, is coupled to the 10th joint 39.1.

The kinematic arrangement 30 is arranged between two fastening sections 51, 53, wherein the two fastening sections 51, 53 can be constructed essentially mirror-symmetrically. Figure 2 shows the two fastening sections 51, 53, which are arranged parallel and spaced apart from each other. Each of the fastening sections 51, 53 has an outer side and an inner side. The inner sides of the two fastening sections 51, 53 face each other. The outer sides of the fastening sections 51, 53 form the Outer sides of the housing 50. The stationary joints 35.1, 36.1 and 38.1 are connected to both fastening sections 51, 53.

How Figure 2 As can be seen, the fastening section 53 is provided with an L marking. This indicates to the user that the fastening section 53 can be used for left-side installation in a furniture carcass. The opposite fastening section 51 is correspondingly provided with an R marking, which indicates the right-side installation option. The furniture fitting can therefore be used for left- or right-side installation. This is the reason why the two fastening sections 51, 53 can be constructed essentially identically and with mirror symmetry.

The following explanations refer to fastening section 51. The same explanations apply analogously to fastening section 53.

As the Figures 2 and 3 As can be seen, the fastening section 51 can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part from a sheet metal blank. The fastening section 51 has a support section 52. This support section 52 is formed by the edge of a recess 54 or an opening that is cut out of the fastening section 51. Fixing elements 55 are punched out of the fastening section 51 and bent over so that they protrude towards the outside of the housing. As the drawings show, the fixing elements 55 can be designed, for example, as tab-shaped projections. The fastening section 51 can also have a profiled alignment section 56, which can be designed in particular as an embossed portion or bevel.

At the longitudinal ends of the fastening section 51, there are openings that form guide receptacles 57. These guide receptacles 57 are designed as slots whose width tapers continuously. Figure 2 shows, for example, in the fastening section 51 the slot width of the guide receptacle 57 tapers from that in Figure 2 left side towards the right side of the furniture fitting 10.

How Figure 3 As can be clearly seen, the kinematic arrangement 30 is attached to the attachment section 51. At the same time, the kinematic arrangement 30 is also attached to the second attachment section 53. For this purpose, the 6th joint 35.1, the 7th joint 36.1, and the 10th joint 38.1 are connected to both attachment sections 51, 53, as already mentioned above.

The holding device 40 is also connected to both fastening sections 51, 53 in the region of its pivot bearing 46. In this way, the two fastening sections 51, 53 are also coupled to one another, with the kinematic arrangement 30 being accommodated at least partially between the two fastening sections 51, 53 in the housing 50.

How Figure 4 As shown, a mounting piece 80 can be optionally connected to one of the two fastening sections 51, 53. In the present exemplary embodiment, the mounting piece 80 is connected to the first fastening section 51 for right-side mounting. Of course, the mounting piece 80 can also be connected to the opposite second fastening section 53 for left-side mounting if it is rotated by 180°. The following explanations therefore also apply analogously to both fastening sections 51, 53.

In the Figures 6 and 7 The mounting piece 80 is detailed in more detail. As these drawings show, the mounting piece 80 can be manufactured as a stamped and bent part from a sheet steel blank.

The mounting piece 80 has a fitting side 81 and a furniture fastening side 81.3. The mounting piece 80 has an alignment element 81.1, which is designed in the form of an inclined body edge. The inclination runs in Figure 6 from left to right, as clearly shown in the drawing. A contact section 81.2 is provided opposite the alignment element 81.1. The contact section 81.2 is formed by elevations on opposite sides of the mounting piece 80.

The mounting piece 80 is penetrated by screw receptacles 82, 83.

The mounting piece 80 has a holding section 84. According to the present embodiment, the holding section 84 is shaped as a protrusion, resulting in a bearing surface 84.1 that rises above the adjoining areas of the furniture fastening side 81.3.

A bearing support 84.2 is inserted into the bearing surface 84.1. This support is designed in the form of a bore. A stop 84.3 is located above the bearing support 84.2. This stop can be formed in the form of a stamped portion, preferably a knob-shaped protrusion, from the sheet metal blank.

The holding section 84 is provided with a left and a right marking 84.4 and 84.5.

The Figures 6 and 7 further show that counter elements 85 are provided on the mounting piece 80. The counter elements 85 can be designed as tabs that are punched out of the sheet metal blank and pressed out toward the furniture fastening side 81.3.

The counter elements 85 have a holding section 85.2. This is connected to the sheet metal blank at both of its longitudinal ends via angled portions 85.1. A plug-in receptacle for the fixing element 55 is formed in the area between the angled portions 85.1 and the holding section 85.2.

The mounting piece 80 is provided with spacers 86. These spacers 86 protrude beyond the furniture attachment side 81.3. As the drawings illustrate, the spacers 86 can be designed in the form of knob-like protrusions.

Figure 6 further illustrates that two projections 88 are present on the mounting piece. These projections 88 can also be formed integrally with the mounting piece 80 and bent out of the sheet material in a forming step. It is also conceivable that, as in the present In this embodiment, the projections 88 are designed as separate components which are riveted to the mounting piece 80.

Finally, the mounting piece 80 also has openings 89 in the form of holes. The function of these openings 89 will be explained below with reference to Figure 12 discussed in more detail.

To assemble the furniture fitting 10, the mounting piece 80 is first placed with its furniture fastening side 81.3 on a wall of a furniture body 110 to which the furniture fitting 10 is to be attached. Then, fastening screws 90, 91, which are located in Figure 4 shown, pushed through the screw receptacles 82, 83 and screwed into the wall of the furniture body 110.

How Figure 4 As can be seen, the fastening screws 90 can be designed so that they can be screwed into pre-drilled blind holes in a system hole pattern. The two fastening screws 91 serve as additional security and can be designed as self-tapping screws that can be screwed into the wall. Of course, self-tapping screws can also be used instead of the fastening screws 90.

After the mounting piece 80 has been connected to the furniture body, the adjusting element 60 is rotated into a prepared starting position according to the desired stop type. Thus, if, as in the present example, the furniture fitting 10 is installed with its fastening side 51, i.e., a right-hand stop is to be implemented, the adjusting element 60 is rotated in the bearing mount 84.2 so that the eccentrically arranged part of the operating element 61 covers the left marking 84.4 and the R marking 84.3 is visible. This signals to the user that the correct stop type has been set.

Now the remaining part of the furniture fitting 10 can be attached to the fitting side 81 of the mounting piece 80 with the fastening section 51, 53 suitable for the respective stop type (right or left stop). Accordingly, as in Figure 2 shown, the remaining fitting part on the mounting piece 80 placed, with the projections 88 engaging in the guide receptacles 57. The projections 88 are located in the region of the widened ends of the guide receptacles 57. Accordingly, the fixing elements 55 are arranged in front of the counter elements 85.

The fastening section 51 rests on the spacers 86 at the end. The adjusting element 60 can now be rotated. For this purpose, a screwdriver is inserted through the recess 54 in the opposite fastening piece 53 so that the screwdriver engages in the tool holder 62 of the operating part 61. The screwdriver can then be turned in the Figure 2 clockwise. The cylindrical outer circumference of the operating part 61 rolls on the edge defining the recess 54, which forms the support section 52. As a result of this movement, the fastening section 51 is moved relative to the mounting piece 80 in Figure 2 from right to left. As a result of this sliding movement, the fixing elements 55 are pushed behind the holding sections 85.2 of the counter-elements 85, forming a positive and detachable connection transverse to the furniture fastening side 81.3.

During this movement, the projections 87 are also simultaneously displaced in the guide receptacles 57. Since the guide receptacles 57 are designed as tapered slots, the fastening section 51 is aligned with the mounting piece 80 in the vertical direction.

Additionally or alternatively, it can also be provided that during the movement, the alignment element 81.1 runs against the alignment section 56, thus also enabling precise alignment. The sliding movement is limited by the stop 84.3. When the adjusting element 60 has been rotated so far that the operating part 61 strikes the stop 84.3, the assembly position is reached. The assembly position is shown in Figure 4 illustrated.

The assignment of the operating part 61 to the stop 84.3 should preferably be made in such a way that a self-locking effect is created. For example, in the present embodiment, the operating part 61 is rotated so far that the The contact point between the operating part 61 and the support section 52 runs on the horizontal line intersecting the rotational axis of the bearing pin 63 or is located in the area between this line and the stop 84.3. Then, if a force acts on the furniture fitting 10 contrary to the mounting direction described above, the connection between the mounting piece 80 and the associated fastening section 51 cannot be automatically released.

For disassembly, a screwdriver simply needs to be inserted through the recess 54 in the fastening section 53 and inserted into the tool holder 62 of the operating unit 61. The adjusting element 60 can then be rotated counterclockwise. This disengages the fixing elements 55 and the counter elements 85, so that the fastening section 51 is no longer engaged.

In the Figures 8 and 9 The adjusting element 60 is shown in more detail. As this illustration once again illustrates, the adjusting element 60 has a cylindrical operating part 61, which has a tool holder 62. The bearing pin 63 is attached eccentrically to the operating part 61. An indicator 64 is also attached to the operating part 60. With this indicator, the user can determine whether the adjusting element 60 is in the open or closed position. To securely fasten the adjusting element 60, the bearing pin 63 can, for example, be inserted into the bearing holder 84.2. The bearing pin 63 can then be caulked at the end.

The Figures 10 and 11 show the flap holder according to the invention and previously described in a representation rotated by 180°, wherein the fastening section 51 of the housing 50 is removed and the assignment of the kinematic arrangement 30 to the fastening section 53 is shown. In the representation according to the Figures 10 and 11 Different pivoting positions are shown on the way between the open and closed positions.

From the Figures 10 and 11 It becomes clear that the adjusting element 38, which acts between the connecting element 36 and the adjusting element 37, has a spring element 38.2. This spring element 38.2 is arranged between two components of the adjusting element 38 so that it applies a compressive force which spreads the adjusting element 38 between the 9th joint 38.1 and the selected mounting position 36.3, 36.4, thus clamping them against each other.

In Figure 10 The adjusting element 38 is connected to the mounting position 36.3 by an articulated joint. Figure 10 As can be seen, the mounting position 36.3 is arranged at least on a partial movement path between the closed position and the open position below a horizontal line which passes through the pivot point of the stationary 7th joint 36.1.

In the closed position of the furniture fitting 10, the spring element 38.2 applies a compressive force to the connecting element 36. Since the mounting position 36.3 is arranged below the connecting line, this results in a Figure 10 Anti-clockwise torque with a lever arm that corresponds to the distance between the mounting position 36.3 and the connecting line. This torque causes the furniture fitting 10 to open from the closed position. In this operating mode, a locking mechanism can be provided, which is shown, for example, in the Figures 15 to 22 shown and explained in detail later. This locking mechanism holds the flap or door in the closed position.

When the installation mechanism is unlocked by a user, the furniture fitting opens automatically, at least along a part of the opening path, due to the tension force of the spring element 38.2. In the present embodiment, the spring element 38.2 causes an opening up to the Figure 11 shown partial opening position.

The locking mechanism described above will now be explained using the Figures 15 to 22 explained in more detail.

How Figure 1 shows, the locking mechanism has a lock 200. This lock 200 has a locking housing 210. The locking housing 210 comprises a cover wall 211. Side walls 212 rise laterally from the cover wall 211. In its upper area, the locking housing has 210 has a recess 214. A rule 240 and, furthermore, a pawl 230, which is connected to the rule 240, extend through this recess 214.

How Figure 16 As can be seen, a cover 217 is placed on the rear of the locking housing 210. Protruding projections 218 are molded or attached to the cover 217. Furthermore, the cover 217 has a screw receptacle 219, which is aligned with a screw receptacle 213 of the locking housing 210.

In Figure 17 The opened locking housing 210 is shown, with the cover 217 removed. As this illustration shows, the locking housing 210 has a support 215. The cover 217 can be supported on this support at the edge.

The locking housing 210 further includes a locking portion 220. This locking portion 220 is equipped with a guide 221. The guide 221, together with the locking pawl 230, forms an overtravel mechanism.

The guide 221 has an opening 221.1. This opening 221.1 is followed by a transition section 221.2. The transition section 221.2 transitions into a deflection section 221.3. The deflection section 221.3 is formed on one side by a deflection body 222, which, like the remaining areas that laterally delimit the guide 221, is preferably integral with the locking housing 210. Following the deflection section 221.3, the guide 221 forms a first stop 221.4. A second stop 221.6 is also provided at a distance from the first stop 221.4. A parking position 221.5 of the guide 221 is provided between the first and second stops 221.4 and 221.6. This parking position 221.5 is preferably formed by a parking section 222.2. A return section 221.7 adjoins the second stop 221.6. This return section 221.7 transitions into a deflection section 221.8, which in turn transitions into the transition section 221.2.

As described above, the pawl 230 cooperates with the guide 221.

The pawl 230 is in the Figures 18 and 19 shown more clearly. As this illustration illustrates, the pawl 230 has a lever 232. The lever 232 carries a pivot bearing 231 and, at the opposite end, a locking piece 233 Figure 19 shows that a bearing surface 235 is formed in the area around the pivot bearing 231. Furthermore, integrally formed ribs 234 are provided, which stiffen the lever 232.

The shape of the bolt 240 is further shown in the Figures 20 and 21 As these drawings illustrate, the latch 240 has a base body 241. This base body 241 is equipped with a bearing receptacle 242. Furthermore, the base body 241 has a pawl bearing 248 spaced apart from the bearing receptacle 242.

A projection 245 is connected to the base body 241. This projection 245 defines a driver receptacle 246. The driver receptacle 246 is further defined by or connected to a deflection section 247.

How Figure 20 shows, the latch 240 has a spring receptacle 244, which, as for example in Figure 20 shown in the area of the bearing receptacle 242. A clearance 243 is also provided in the area of this spring receptacle 244.

In Figure 21 The latch 240 is shown in a rear view. As can be seen from this illustration, both the bearing receptacle 242 and the pawl bearing are formed as through holes. A counter surface 249 is provided around the pawl bearing 248.

For mounting the bolt 240 in the locking housing 210, a bearing piece 216 is provided in the locking housing 210. This bearing piece 216 can be designed in the form of a bearing bolt integral with the locking housing 210. Before mounting the bolt 240, a spring 250 is connected to it, which in Figure 17 shown partly in dashed and partly in solid lines. The spring 250 can, for example, be designed as a leg spring and has two spring arms 251, 253. The spring arms 251, 253 are connected to each other via a clamping section 252.

The spring 250 is inserted with its spring arm 253 into the spring holder 244. The clamping section 252 is, as Figure 17 illustrated as a ring-shaped bent section and fits into the free space formed on the bearing receptacle 242. The area surrounded by the ring-shaped bent section of the spring 250 is aligned with the bearing receptacle 242. The second spring arm 251 is supported, as Figure 17 shows in the transition area between the top wall 211 and a side wall 212.

The spring 250 is inserted into the bolt 240, with the spring arm 251 extending from the recess 243. Then the bolt 240 is pushed onto the bearing piece 216. The spring 250 then comes into its Figure 17 shown position, assuming a pre-tensioned state. Due to this spring pre-tension, the latch 240 is in the position shown in Figure 17 held pre-tensioned in the extended position shown. The locking pawl 230 can then be connected to the latch 240. For this purpose, the pivot bearing 231 of the locking pawl 230 is inserted into the locking pawl bearing 248. The insertion movement is limited by the bearing surface 235 of the locking pawl 230, which rests against the counter surface 249 of the latch 240.

Once all components have been inserted into the locking housing 210, the cover 217 can be put on and, for example, locked to the locking housing 210.

In the Figure 17 In the position shown, the bolt 240 is in its basic position. If the rule 240 is now Figure 17 is pivoted counterclockwise, this occurs against the preload of the spring 250. Due to this pivoting, the pawl 230 moves with its locking piece 233 into the guide 221. The locking piece 233 passes through the opening 221.1 of the guide 221 into the transition section 221.2. Then the locking piece 233 hits the deflection slope 222.1 of the deflection body 222 and slides along in the deflection section 221.3 until it reaches the area of the 1st stop 221.4. If now the If the bolt 240 is released, the locking piece 233 moves against the deflection body 222 and reaches the parking position 221.5. This is the position in which the furniture flap is in a closed position. If an operator now applies an overstroke to the furniture flap, the locking piece 233 reaches the area of the 2nd stop 221.6. If the furniture flap is now released, the 1st actuating lever 38 with its spring element 38.2 pushes the kinematic arrangement 30 into a partially open position, as explained above. The locking piece 233 then moves out of the position of the 2nd stop 221.6 and moves via the return 221.7 back into the transition section 221.2 until it stops again in the area of the opening 221.1 and the Figure 17 shown position is reached. This position is secured with a stop. For example, as Figure 17 shows, the latch 240 strikes the right side wall 212 of the locking housing 210. In this position, the furniture flap is also released and can be moved automatically by the first adjusting lever 38 toward the open position.

To connect the furniture flap with the lock 200, the Figure 22 The holder 300 shown can be used. The holder 300 has a fastening arrangement 310 with a fastening plate 311. The fastening plate 311 can be equipped with one or more fastening receptacles 312. The fastening arrangement 310 has a bearing section 313, through which a bearing receptacle passes. Furthermore, a locking piece 314 is provided on the fastening arrangement 310. The locking piece 314 has a spring element 316. Furthermore, the locking piece 314 also forms a latching receptacle 315.

A holding element 321 is mounted on the fastening assembly 310. For this purpose, the holding element 321 has a bearing projection 322. This bearing projection 322 is pivotally connected to the bearing section 313 of the fastening assembly 310. At its end facing away from the bearing projection 322, the holding element 321 has a locking element 323. Furthermore, a locking section 324 is provided on the holding element 321.

In a Figure 22 In the locking position shown, the locking element 323 is in locking engagement with the locking receptacle 316.

The bracket 300 can be fastened to the inside of the furniture flap. For this purpose, fastening screws are inserted through the fastening receptacles 312 and screwed into the rear of the furniture flap. In the closed position, the bracket 33 is located in the area of a side wall of the furniture body. The locking section 324 is oriented towards the side wall. The locking mechanism 200, as shown in the Figures 15 to 21 shown. For this purpose, the locking mechanism 200 is placed with the side carrying the cover 217 on the inside against the vertical side wall of the furniture body. If the projections 218 are used, they are inserted into a system hole formed on the inside of the side wall. This ensures that the locking mechanism 200 is precisely aligned with the furniture body. To fix the locking mechanism 200, a fastening screw is inserted through the aligned screw receptacles 213 and 219 and screwed into the side wall of the furniture body.

The locking mechanism 200 functions as follows. When the furniture flap is moved from the open position toward the closed position, the locking portion 324 of the bracket 300 engages the deflection portion 247. As the closing movement continues, the latch 240 is pivoted into its closed position as described above (according to Figure 17 counterclockwise. When the closed position is reached, the locking piece 233 is in the parking position 221.5. The furniture flap is now securely locked in the locked position, with the kinematic arrangement 30, with the spring element 38.2 of the first actuating lever 38, applying a preload in the opening direction to the furniture flap via the kinematic arrangement 30. After applying an overstroke to the furniture flap, the furniture flap can be unlocked as described above.

If a user does not apply the intended overstroke but pulls directly on the furniture flap, the release mechanism of the holder 300, which is formed by the locking element 323 and the locking receptacle 315, protects the furniture fitting from damage. In this case, the spring element 315 deflects and releases the locking element 323. The furniture flap can now be swung open unhindered.

When the furniture flap is closed again, the locking section 324 moves outside the driver receptacle 246 onto the deflection section 247. It is then deflected and inserted into the driver receptacle 246, and simultaneously, the locking element 323 is moved into the locking receptacle 315 until it engages. The proper closed position is then restored.

As already indicated above, the actuator assembly 70 can be connected to the connecting element 36. The actuator assembly 70 is in Figure 12 As this drawing illustrates, the actuating arrangement 70 has an actuator 72. This can, for example, be cap-shaped, as Figure 12 The actuator 72 has a receiving part 72.1, into which a receptacle 72.2 is inserted. The receptacle 72.2 is open on one side and a stop 72.4 is provided on the other side of the receptacle 72.2. As Figure 12 As can be further seen, a locking piece 72.3 may be present on the actuator 72.

A damper 71 can be inserted into the receptacle 72.2 of the actuator 72. The damper 71 can be designed as a fluid damper, for example, as an air or oil damper. It has a cylinder 71.1, within which a piston is adjustably guided. A piston rod 71.2 is connected to the piston. The damper 71 is inserted into the receptacle 72.2 such that its end facing away from the piston rod 71.2 rests against the stop 72.4. Accordingly, the stop 72.4 limits the insertion movement of the damper 71 into the receptacle 72.2.

The actuating assembly 70 further comprises a holder 73. The holder 73 is cap-shaped and has an open end on one side and a base 73.3 on the opposite side. The holder 73 encloses a receptacle with a support part 73.1, which can be designed similarly to the receptacle 72.2 of the actuator 72. The support part 73.1 is equipped with a handle 73.2.

How Figure 12 As further shown, a fastening piece 73.4 can be provided on the holder 73, which can have two spaced-apart legs. The fastening piece 73.4 forms a locking receptacle 73.5.

At least one holding element 73.6 is provided on the holder 73. In the present embodiment, holding elements 73.6 are provided on opposite sides of the support part 73.1. Furthermore, a marking 73.7 can be provided, which in the present embodiment is arranged in the region of the holding elements 73.6.

To assemble the actuator assembly 70, the holder 73 is connected to the actuator 72. For this purpose, the receiving part 72.1 is inserted into the receptacle surrounded by the support part 73.1, namely in Figure 12 in the assembly direction from left to right. A sliding guide is then formed between the outer contour of the receiving part 72.1 and the inner contour of the pressure part 73.1. This enables linear adjustment of the actuator 72 relative to the holder 73.

In the assembled state, the piston rod 71.2 rests at its end on the base 73.3. Accordingly, when the actuator 72 is pushed linearly into the support member 73, this occurs against the damping force of the damper 71, whereby the piston rod 71.2 is pushed into the cylinder 71.1. The actuator 72 is held captive by the locking piece 72.3 on the holder 73 in the maximum extension position. Accordingly, the locking piece 72.3 strikes a stop in the receptacle of the holder 73 in the assembled position.

As the Figures 10 and 11 As can be seen, the connecting element 36 has a guide 36.6. The guide 36.6 is formed as a slot-shaped recess in the connecting element 36. A counter-locking element 36.5 is arranged in the guide 36.6. This counter-locking element 36.5 is formed, for example, by a cylindrical pin.

To mount the actuating arrangement on the connecting element 36, the actuating arrangement 70 is attached to the connecting element 36 in such a way that the counter-locking element 36.5 locks with the locking receptacle 73.5.

In the Figures 10 and 11 It can be seen that the connecting element 36 has blocking pieces 36.7. Several blocking pieces 36.7 are provided, which are preferably arranged at equal spacing from one another.

In the present embodiment, the blocking pieces 36.7 are recessed laterally in the connecting element 36 as notch-shaped recesses. Figures 10 and 11 As can be seen, the blocking pieces 36.7 are assigned a scale. Figure 10 Accordingly, the retaining elements 73.6 are inserted into the blocking pieces 36.7 assigned to the marking 3. In this way, the actuating arrangement 70 is positively secured to the connecting element 36 in the direction of the guide 36.6. The locking connection between the counter-locking element 36.5 and the locking receptacle 73.5 ensures the captive fastening of the actuating arrangement 70 to the connecting element 36.

To secure the adjusting assembly 70 in a different mounting position, it is gripped by the handle 73.2 and pulled off the connecting element 36, whereby the holding elements 73.6 are disengaged from the blocking pieces 36.7 and the locking connection between the counter-locking element 36.5 and the locking receptacle 73.5 is removed. The adjusting assembly 70 can now be reinstalled in a different mounting position. For this purpose, the counter-locking element 36.5 is moved in the guide 36.6 to the desired position, as shown in the Figures 10 and 11 The adjusting assembly 70 can then be reattached to the connecting element 36 in the changed mounting position. Figure 11 the adjusting arrangement 70 is now fixed in a maximum setting position.

The adjusting arrangement 70 forms with its stop 72.4 a contact point for a counter-stop 37.2. The counter-stop 37.2 can, as the Figures 10 and 11 show, be designed as a roller that rolls on the stop 72.4. The counter-stop 37.2 is attached to the actuator 37. As soon as the stop 72.4 hits the counter-stop 37.2, the actuator 72 is adjusted against the damping effect of the damper 71. In this way, the closing movement of the furniture fitting 10 can be dampened.

By adjusting the adjustment arrangement 70 on the connecting element 36 in the various fastening points, the time at which the damping is effective can be individually set by the user. Figure 10 As can be seen, the damping effect starts relatively late with the setting selected there, while with the setting Figure 11 As shown in the illustration, the damping force takes effect earlier. This damping prevents the door or flap from slamming shut in the closed position during the closing movement.

Figure 12 indicates that, instead of the damper 71, a tension spring 74 can be installed with the actuating arrangement 70. The tension spring 74 is designed as a compression spring and has support surfaces 74.1 and 74.2 on opposite sides. The support surface 74.1 rests on the base 73.3, and the support surface 74.2 rests on the stop 72.4 when the tension spring 74 is inserted into the receptacle 72.2. The tension spring 74 spreads the actuating element 72 relative to the holder 73. Accordingly, the actuating element 72 can be pushed into the holder 73 against the force of the tension spring 74.

If the actuating assembly is used in an operating mode in which the tension spring 74 is used, the actuating assembly 70 supports the opening movement of the furniture fitting 10. Accordingly, the actuating element 72 presses against the counter-stop 37.2. The opening movement is supported until the actuating element 72 is in the fully extended position.

The furniture fitting 10 can be designed such that the adjusting element 38 is connected to the mounting position 36.3 and the adjusting arrangement 70 is equipped with the tension spring 74. When the furniture fitting is in its closed position, i.e., the flap or door is closed, the spring element 38.2 of the adjusting element 38 (for example, after unlocking the flap or door, see above) causes an initial opening movement. This is supported by the tension spring 74. After the spring element 38.2 has discharged, the tension spring 74 continues to be effective and causes a further opening until the furniture fitting 10 reaches a partially open position or, more preferably, is in a fully open position.

In a further operating mode, the furniture fitting 10 can be designed such that the damper 71 is installed with the actuating assembly 70. The actuating element 38 is then preferably connected to the second mounting position 36.4.

The second mounting position 36.4 is above the horizontal line passing through the pivot point of the seventh joint 36.1. Accordingly, a counterclockwise torque is applied to the connecting element 36 by the spring element 38.2. Due to this torque, the adjusting element pushes the furniture fitting 10 into the closed position over the last part of the adjustment travel. This closing movement counteracts the damping effect of the adjusting arrangement 70, which then rests against the counter-stop 37.2. In the closed position, the adjusting element 38, together with the spring element 38.2, holds the connecting element 36 tensioned in the closed position, thus securing it.

In the Figures 13 and 14 A further detail of the furniture fitting 10 is illustrated. These figures show enlarged sections of the furniture fitting 10 in the hinge position according to Figures 10 .

As these drawings show, the furniture fitting 10 has the holding device 40 with at least one spring element 43. In the present example, three spring elements 43 are used. The spring elements 43 are arranged in the spring receptacle 44 and pushed onto the support elements 45. The spring elements 43 act on the connecting element 41.

In the illustration shown, the spring elements 43 are arranged slightly offset from the connecting element 41 to reveal the support elements 45. In fact, the spring elements 43 rest against the connecting element 41 with their ends shown in the illustration in the operating position.

The spring elements 43 introduce a compressive force into the connecting element 41. This compressive force tries to move the connecting element 41 in the plane of the drawing according to Figure 13 from the back of the furniture fitting 10 towards the front.

The connecting element 41 is connected to the pivot lever 42 via the bearing 41.1. The pivot lever 42, in turn, is pivotally attached to the 10th joint 39.1. Accordingly, the pivot lever 42 is pivotally attached to the actuator 37.

The actuator 37 is designed as a two-part lever. As can be seen from the drawings, the actuator 37 has two spaced-apart sub-elements for this purpose, which, as in the present embodiment, can be formed from plate-shaped elements, in particular from sheet steel blanks. The fastening lever 31, the deflection levers 33, 34, the connecting element 36, the adjusting lever 39, and/or the pivoting lever 42 can have the same design principle.

In Figure 14 The component of the two-part actuator 37 facing the viewer has been removed, so that the structure of the pivot lever 42 is clearly visible. As this drawing shows, the pivot lever 42, like the actuator 37, is designed as a two-armed lever, with these two levers pivoting together about the 10th joint 39.1. The connecting element 41 is attached to one arm of the pivot lever 42. The other arm of the pivot lever 42 is coupled to an adjustment device 37.3.

How Figure 14 As can be further seen, the adjustment device 37.3 has an adjustment element 37.4. The adjustment element 37.4 can be designed in the form of a screw. The screw has a screw head with a tool holder 37.6. For example, a Torx screw or a hexagon socket screw of conventional design can be used.

The adjusting element 37.4 is mounted on a bearing piece 37.5 in the area of the tool holder 37.6, so that it can rotate about the central longitudinal axis. The bearing piece 37.5 is pivotally mounted on the adjusting element 37 by means of a pivot bearing 37.9. The pivot axis runs in Figure 14 perpendicular to the image plane. The threaded section of the adjusting element 37.4 is screwed into a threaded receptacle of an adjusting piece 37.8. The adjusting piece 37.8 is pivotally mounted on the Swivel lever 42. The swivel axis of the adjusting piece 37.8 runs perpendicular to the image plane according to Figure 14 Furthermore, the adjusting piece 37.8 has guide lugs. These protrude on opposite sides of the pivot lever 42. The guide lugs are each inserted into a guide 37.7 of the adjusting element 37 and can be moved along the guide contour.

To adjust the adjustment device 37.3, a tool, such as a screwdriver, can be inserted from the front into the tool holder 37.6 when the flap is open, whereby the insertion direction then runs from the front to the back of the furniture fitting 10. The opening position is in Figure 3 Compared to the positioning according to the Figures 13 and 14 The tool holder 37.6 is then arranged so that it is easily accessible from the front. The adjusting element 37.4 can then be rotated with the tool. Since the adjusting element 37.4 is in threaded engagement with the adjusting piece 37.8, the adjusting piece 37.8 and with it the pivot lever 42 are adjusted. As a result of this adjustment, the guide lugs of the adjusting piece 37.8 also move in the guides 37.7, for example, in the drawing according to Figure 14 from left to right. During such an adjustment, the pivot lever 42 is rotated about the axis of rotation of the 10th joint 39.1. In the process, the bearing 41.1 is also adjusted. In the present example, if the adjusting piece 37.8 is adjusted to the right in the image plane, the bearing 41.1 pivots to the top left. The bearing 41.1 forms the force introduction point at which the force of the holding device 40 is introduced into the link chain via the pivot lever 42 and the adjusting element 37 by means of the 2nd adjusting lever 39. If the pivot lever 42 is now adjusted, the spring elements 43 are relieved to some extent and the preload of the spring elements 43 is thus reduced. This results in a reduced clamping force. In this way, the flap holder can be adjusted to lower flap weights.

In Figure 13 The setting position where the maximum spring preload is achieved is marked with a plus sign. The setting position where the minimum spring tension is achieved is marked with a minus sign.

When the adjustment device 37.3 is adjusted, the pivot lever 42 pivots, as mentioned above. Due to this pivoting of the pivot lever 42, the adjustment element 37.4 also pivots about the pivot bearing 37.9. Furthermore, the adjustment element 37.4 also pivots relative to the pivotally mounted adjusting piece 37.8.

As mentioned above, the holding force generated by the holding device 40 is introduced into the link chain of the furniture fitting 10.

How Figure 3 shows, this articulated chain is formed by the stationary 6th joint 35.1, the stationary 7th joint 36.1 as well as the 1st joint 32.1, the 2nd joint 32.2, the 3rd joint 33.1, the 4th joint 34.1 and the 5th joint 34.2 and the fastening lever 31, the two deflection levers 33, 34, the articulated lever 35, and the connecting element 36.

By means of this articulated chain, the fastening lever 31 (and with it a flap coupled to it) can be pivoted between an open and a closed position.

How Figure 13 As clearly illustrated, the actuator 37 serves, on the one hand, with the 2nd lever arm of the actuator 37, to receive the first adjusting lever 38 and, on the other lever arm, to receive the adjusting device 37.3.

Finally, the holding force generated by the holding device 40 is introduced into the link chain via the second adjusting lever 39.

The adjusting lever 39 can be pivoted together with the adjusting element 37 and the pivoting lever 42 about a common axis of rotation, this axis of rotation being formed by the 10th joint 39.1.

How Figure 14 As can be seen further, in a second application, the counter stop 37.2 can also be used to limit the opening movement of the flap holder in the open position. For this purpose, the Counter-stop on a lever, for example in this case on the side of the pivot lever 42, when this is in the open position.

The Figures 13 and 14 also show that the flap holder has a compact design. For this purpose, the holding device 40 is arranged behind the link chain in the direction shown in the drawings, which runs from left to right, i.e., from the stop side to the opposite rear side.

The Figures 13 and 14 It can also be seen that when the articulated chain is adjusted, during which the flap is adjusted from the closed position toward the open position, the connecting element 41 is essentially moved from the back to the front (during the closing movement, the connecting element 41 is displaced in the opposite direction). This movement of the connecting element 41 is absorbed and transmitted from the back to the front by the articulated chain. In this respect, the furniture fitting 10 according to the invention does not require thrust reversal, which supports a stable and compact design.

In the Figures 23 and 24 A mounting element 100 is shown. The mounting element 100 has a contact piece 102, from which a stop 101 is angled. A holding element 103 is held on the contact piece 102. The mounting element 100 is preferably formed as a single-piece plastic injection-molded part.

The mounting element 100 serves together with the mounting piece 80 as an assembly aid. Figure 25 As can be seen, the furniture fitting 10 can be attached to a furniture body 110. The furniture body 110 has a conventional design. It has two parallel side walls 111 and a top wall 112 that connects the two side walls 111. The side walls 111 have a front surface 113 in the area of the furniture opening. The top wall 112 has a bottom side 114.

To use the mounting piece 80 as a drilling template, the mounting element 100 is first connected to the mounting piece 80. According to the desired stop type, such as Figure 25 shows, the mounting piece 100 with its holding element 103 is hooked onto the counter element 85. For this purpose, the holding element 103 is inserted behind the holding section 85.2 of the counter element 85 so that it holds automatically there. The holding element 100 can now be placed against the furniture body 110 such that the stop 101 rests on the front surface 113 of the associated side wall 111. The mounting piece 80 rests with its furniture fastening side 81.3 on the inside of the side wall 111. For the exact alignment of the mounting piece 80 in the vertical direction, the two contact sections 81.2 rest on the underside 114 of the top wall 112. In this way, the mounting piece 80 is precisely aligned in a desired drilling template position. The two openings 89 can now be used to drill the holes at the desired location. For this purpose, a drill is inserted through the openings 89 and the hole is drilled into the side wall 111. The mounting piece 80, with its two projections 88, can then be inserted into the previously created holes. In doing so, the mounting piece 80 is moved slightly downward from the underside 114 of the cover wall 112. The now precisely aligned mounting piece 80 can be fastened to the side wall 111 with additional fastening screws 90 or 91, as described above. Finally, the remaining fitting part is fixed to the mounting piece 80 with the fastening section 51, 53, as described above.
