  The present invention relates to a metal fitting for a sliding door, and more particularly to furniture, and at least one leg ring that is movably supported with respect to a mounting plate that can be fixed to the sliding door and is rotatably attached to a holder, and a vertical position of the mounting plate. The present invention relates to a fitting having an adjustment mechanism operable at least partially in a vertical direction to be straight with respect to the holder.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an adjustment mechanism for a sliding door leg ring in which the axis of the leg ring is guided in a long hole arranged obliquely. Since the elongated hole is disposed in the displacement means that can be moved horizontally by one screw, when the displacement means moves, the height of the leg ring can be adjusted with respect to the housing covering the displacement means. .

U.S. Pat.No. 3,512,209

It is problematic for the housing of the adjustment mechanism to be connected to an automatic retractable mechanism or stopper, because the housing is height adjusted with respect to the leg ring, so that the automatic retractable fixed to the stopper or furniture piece body This is because the mechanism is only difficult to connect with an actuator mounted on a height adjustable housing.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sliding door fitting that is height adjustable and can be easily connected to an automatic retracting mechanism or stopper.

This object is solved by a fitting with the features of claim 1.
In accordance with the present invention, at least one actuator that engages the self-retracting mechanism or stopper is secured to the holder or the adjustment mechanism. As a result, the bracket not only adjusts the height of the sliding door in the furniture body, but can also perform other functions at the same time when opening and closing the sliding door, and the actuating device has an automatic retractable mechanism and / or a stopper or latch element. Connected.
This allows the sliding door to be equipped with fittings suitable for the intended use, which are then connected to further functional parts such as self-retracting mechanisms and stoppers. Thereby, a compact configuration is possible with only a small number of parts.

  As a preferred form, the actuator remains firmly in the holder or the adjustment mechanism during height adjustment by the adjustment mechanism, so that the actuator is relatively the same as the furniture body. Maintain height. As a result, it is possible to accurately position the actuator relative to the driver or stopper of the automatic retracting mechanism of the actuator.

  The actuating device is preferably movably mounted on a mounting plate. In this case, the actuating device may be provided with a protrusion connected to a driver and / or a stopper of the automatic retracting mechanism, and the actuating device is fixed to a holder or a component of the adjusting mechanism as a plastic member or a metal member.

  With respect to the metal fitting, it is preferable that the leg ring is attached so that the holder can move on the rail, and the height of the door member fixed to the attachment plate is adjusted by an adjustment mechanism. Each metal fitting according to the present invention is attached to both sides of the door member, and the inclination of the door member can be adjusted in addition to the height adjustment.

In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a number of pins that are movably mounted within the slot. This ensures a stable guide that can move the heavy sliding door member.
In a particularly compact configuration, the holder is movably mounted on the mounting plate so as to be able to move with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions for height adjustment. The holder can be directly guided to the assembly plate, and the height is adjusted by moving the holder while being inclined with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions.

  The adjustment mechanism may include a threaded rod that is rotatably mounted on a threaded sleeve or nut and moves the holder relative to the mounting plate. Thereby, the height adjustment can be realized particularly accurately. The threaded rod includes a groove into which the bent edge of the holder or at least a part of the mounting plate is inserted. The threaded rod is rotatably supported by the edge, but is not movable in the axial direction. Thereby, movement of the mounting plate relative to the holder can be achieved by rotation of a threaded rod.

  According to a further embodiment, an intermediate plate is arranged between the holder and the mounting plate. The intermediate plate allows the holder to move relative to the mounting plate. Depending on the configuration of the intermediate plate, the adjusting mechanism can move the intermediate plate relatively to the mounting plate, and the intermediate plate can move relative to the holder. As a result, the mounting plate is movable in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the holder. As a result, during the adjustment process, the leg ring moves only in the vertical direction, so that no lateral movement occurs.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to some embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

  A sliding door 2 is movably attached to a furniture body 1 such as a cabinet. For this purpose, a metal fitting 3 is attached to the sliding door 2, and the metal fitting 3 includes a leg ring 4 that can move on a rail 5. The leg ring 4 is rotatably attached to a holder 6. The holder 6 is held on the sliding door 2 by a mounting plate 7. The metal fitting 3 is provided with a rod-like actuating device 8, which can be engaged with a driver of an automatic retractable mechanism 9 fixed to the main body 1. The automatic retracting mechanism 9 including such a movable driver is generally known and will not be described in detail here.

  FIG. 2 shows the metal fitting 3 on the sliding door 2, and the operating device 8 can be engaged with a stopper 10 instead of the automatic retracting mechanism 9. The stopper 10 comprises two flexible spring arms so that the actuating device 8 can be locked to the stopper 10. The actuating device 8 can be connected to further parts such as an automatic retractable mechanism 9, stopper 10, damper or other parts fixed to the upper surface of the furniture body 1 adjacent to the rail 5. It is.

  3A to 3E show the metal fitting 3 in detail. The leg ring 4 is rotatably attached around a shaft 11 fixed to the holder 6. The holder 6 is made of a bent and punched metal plate, has a substantially U-shaped outline, the leg ring 4 is fixed to a bottom surface portion, and a protruding edge 12 is formed on a side portion. . A slit 13 opening outward is formed at each edge 12.

The slit 13 is used for connection with an adjusting mechanism having a threaded rod 16. Two disks 15 are fixed to the screw lot 16, and a groove 14 into which the material of the edge 12 is partially inserted is formed between the disks 15. The threaded rod 16 is rotatably attached to the edge 12 but is not movable in the axial direction. Furthermore, the threaded rod 16 is guided by a threaded sleeve 18 with internal threads and connected to the actuating device 8. The threaded rod 16 includes a head 17 having a tool insert at an end, and the threaded rod 16 can be rotated by meshing with the tool.
The threaded sleeve 18 is fixed to a part 38, and two openings for inserting and guiding the pins 19 on the part 38 are arranged.

  As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3E, the pin 19 is guided through the component 38 and the mounting plate 7, and a vertical hole 22 is recessed in the mounting plate 7. The pin 19 has a vertical hole 22. Guided through.

  Three long holes 21 are further provided in the middle region of the mounting plate 7 so as to be recessed, and the pins 20 are engaged with the respective long holes. The long hole 21 is arranged at an angle α with respect to the horizontal direction, and the angle is, for example, between 10 ° and 40 °. The holder 6 that is movable together with the pin 20 is fixed to the pin 20.

The mounting plate 7 further has an opening 23 for fixing means, whereby the mounting plate 7 is fixed to the rear side of the sliding door 2. In order to prevent displacement of the mounting plate 7 after mounting, a projecting end 24 is further arranged from the mounting plate 7 on the rear side, and the projecting end is carried into the sliding door 2.
The mounting plate 7 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical hole 22 in the central vertical plane, while the holder 6 is also arranged symmetrically with respect to the central vertical plane, so that the metal fitting 3 is located on the right side of the sliding door. Can also be used on the left side.

  The threaded rod 16 is rotated by a tool for the adjustment process. As a result, the holder 6 moves relative to the mounting plate 7 along the long holes 21 that are disposed at an angle. The threaded rod 16 remains horizontally because the distance between the holder 6 and the part 38 varies but is relatively the same with respect to height. The holder 6 moves together with the component 38 guided along the longitudinal hole 22. As a result, the actuating device 8 remains arranged at the same height with respect to the leg ring 4. Although only the horizontal distance between the leg 4 and the actuator changes, it is irrelevant to the opening / closing process of the sliding door 2.

  5A and 5B show a modified configuration of the metal fitting. While the fittings of FIGS. 3A-3E can only be used at the rear of the sliding door, the fittings of FIGS. 5A and 5B can also be used at the center or front of the sliding door. For this purpose, a corner area 30 is arranged, and the corner area is fixed to the central part or the front part of the sliding door by fixing means. A stopper 32 for the mounting plate 7 is fixed to the protruding leg 31. A holder 6 having a rotatable leg ring 4 is attached to the assembly plate 7. The holder 6 is movably mounted on the assembly plate 7 by an adjusting mechanism as already described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3E. The distance between the mounting plate 7 and the vertical portion of the corner area 30 is selected so that one or more sliding doors 2 can overlap.

  6A to 6E show a modified embodiment of the fitting 3 '. The metal fitting 3 'includes an attachment plate 7' and a holder 6 ', and a shaft 11' on which a leg ring 4 'is rotatably attached is fixed to the holder 6'. A component 80 holding a pin-like actuating device 8 'is fixed to the plate-like holder 6'. A U-shaped retainer 81 that overlaps the rail 5 and the upper side of the furniture body 1 is formed below the component 80. This prevents the holder 6 ′ from moving only in the longitudinal direction of the rail 5.

  An intermediate plate 40 is disposed between the holder 6 'and the mounting plate 7'. The intermediate plate 40 is provided with three inclined long holes 41 which are arranged so as to be inclined at an angle between 10 ° and 30 ° with respect to the horizontal direction. A pin 42 passes through the long hole 41. The pin 42 also passes through a vertical slot 48 formed in the mounting plate 7 '.

The intermediate plate 40 is provided with protruding edges 43 on both sides, and the edges are provided with slits through which the threaded rods 44 are inserted. The threaded rod 44 is rotatably mounted on the projection 47 of the mounting plate 7 ', and the threaded rod 44 is rotatable between the head 46 of the threaded rod 44 with the tool insert and the cut groove. However, it is not movable in the axial direction of the mounting plate 7 '. Furthermore, two disks 45 with internal threads are arranged on the threaded rod 44 and the intermediate plate 40 is held between the two disks.
Therefore, the rotation of the threaded rod 44 allows the intermediate plate 40 to move in the horizontal direction with respect to the mounting plate 7 '. It is obviously possible to arrange other adjustment mechanisms in place of the threaded rod 44 in order to achieve horizontal movement. Further, the threaded rod 44 is fixed to the intermediate plate 40 in the axial direction, and the movement of the mounting plate 7 'can be achieved by rotation.

  When the threaded rod 44 rotates, the threaded rod 44 and the mounting plate 7 'move in the horizontal direction, and the pins 42 guided by the long holes 41 and 48 move in the vertical direction. The holder 6 'is fixed to the pin 42, and the holder thus moves in the vertical direction together with the pin 42. The adjustment mechanism is configured such that the mounting plate 7 'and the holder 6' do not move horizontally with respect to each other but simply move vertically.

  The pin 51 is further arranged on the mounting plate 7 ′, and the pin is guided in the vertical slot of the holder 6 ′ or part 80. Since the part 80 is fixed to the holder 6 ', there is no adjustment of the height of the actuator 8' with respect to the leg ring 4.

  In the embodiment shown, the holders 6, 6 ′, mounting plates 7, 7 ′ and intermediate plate 40 are manufactured from a perforated or bent metal plate. It is clearly possible to supply other materials and parts for the bracket according to the invention. Further, the adjustment mechanism can be changed because other adjustment mechanisms can be used in place of the threaded rods 16 and 44.
