DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0076]
[0077] On their front faces the side walls 5 have a recess 8, in which a furniture fitting 10 is countersunk. In
[0078] The furniture fitting 10 comprises a main body 11 and an actuating mechanism 12. In
[0079] The actuating mechanism 12 has an installation lever 28, on which a movable furniture part 9 can be installed. In the present embodiment, the movable furniture part 9 is formed as a furniture flap 4.
[0080]
[0081] The furniture flap 4 can be opened vertically by the actuating mechanism 12 of the two furniture fittings 10. However, the furniture fitting 10 can also be used for a furniture door, wherein the furniture door is opened horizontally.
[0082] The recess 8 in the furniture panel 2, in which the furniture fitting 10 can be received, can be open, as in
[0083]
[0084] An opening 17, through which the actuating mechanism 12 can protrude outwards in an open position, is provided on the front face 15.
[0085] In at least one position, preferably a closing position, the actuating mechanism 12 can be arranged substantially completely in the main body 11. If the furniture fitting 10 is integrated in a furniture panel 2, this construction is necessary.
[0086] The main body 11 has an energy storage mechanism 18, wherein the coupling point of the energy storage mechanism 18 on the actuating mechanism 12 is adjustable on the front face 15 of the main body 11. The adjustment can be effected via an adjustment part 33.
[0087] The main body 11 has a fastening device 19, wherein the fastening device 19 is accessible from the front face 15 of the main body 11. The main body can be fastened in the recess 8 of the furniture panel 2 with the fastening device 19.
[0088] The nubs on the side walls 14 of the main body 11 are not visible in
[0089] The actuating mechanism 12 comprises a number of levers 20, wherein at least some of the number of levers 20 are formed as base levers 22 and/or as rotary levers 21, wherein at least one lever 20 of the number of levers 20 is formed as a rotary lever 21 and base lever 22.
[0090] The levers 20 are connected to one another and/or to the side walls 14 of the main body 11 via bearings 30. For this purpose the levers 20 have at least one hole 23, which is passed through by a bearing pin 24.
[0091] The base levers 22 are connected fixedly to a bearing pin 24, while the rotary levers 21 are mounted rotatably on a bearing pin 24. One lever 20 of the number of levers 20 can have more than one, in particular two, bearings 30 and accordingly act as rotary lever 21 and base lever 22 at the same time.
[0092] Since the levers 20 are typically narrow, the bearing surface of bearings which are formed substantially by means of a bearing pin 24 is relatively small. The surface pressure and the friction on the bearing surfaces are thus great. In order to avoid excessive wear, a widened portion of the bearing surface is provided according to the invention.
[0093] In the embodiments of the following figures, the widened portion is realized by means of a bearing bushing 25, which is pressed into a hole 23 in a rotary lever 21.
[0094] A bearing 30 of the actuating mechanism 12 is shown in an exploded representation in
[0095] Here a bearing pin 24 is fixedly connected to the side walls 14 of the main body 11. Moreover, two rotary levers 21 are shown with in each case at least one hole 23. The bearing pin 24 passes in each case through a hole 23 of both rotary levers 21. In at least one region surrounding the at least one hole 23, the two rotary levers 21 have a widened portion 31, which extends at least in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the at least one bearing pin 24.
[0096] In the embodiment in
[0097] In order to create a bearing 30 with an enlarged bearing surface, the bearing bushing 25 is passed through by the bearing pin 24 and is mounted rotatably on the bearing pin 24.
[0098] The connection between the rotary levers 21 and the bearing bushing 25 is achieved by pressing into the holes 23 of the rotary levers 21. The two rotary levers 21 thus form a double lever.
[0099] The two rotary levers 21 are arranged parallel to one another, and/or the at least two rotary levers 21 are formed substantially identical. The two rotary levers 21 can thus be manufactured cost-effectively and can be punched together, for example.
[0100] In order to realize a low-wear bearing 30, it is furthermore provided that the bearing bushing 25 is manufactured from steel.
[0101] In order to be able to connect both rotary levers 21 and to create a large bearing surface, the extent of the at least one bearing bushing 25 in an axial direction is greater than the width of the at least one rotary lever 21, in particular at least five times greater.
[0102] The bearing pin 24 is formed as a rivet 32 or as a part of a rivet 32 here. The fixing on the main body 11 is effected here by orbital riveting of the rivet on both sides. However, it can also be effected by orbital riveting on one side.
[0103] An external spacer 27 between the at least one rotary lever 21 and the main body 11 can also be seen from
[0104] It can also be seen in
[0105]
[0106] The levers 20, both base levers 22 and rotary levers 21, can be formed differently.
[0107] As mentioned with regard to
[0108] At least two levers 20, base levers 22 or rotary levers 21, can be connected to one another away from a bearing 30, for example the at least two rotary levers 21 can be molded from one part, welded, screwed and/or riveted.
[0109] The levers 20 are arranged nested along the longitudinal axis of the at least one bearing pin 24.
[0110]
[0111] A bearing 30 which connects a rotary lever 21 and a base lever 22 to one another rotatably relative to one another can also represent the fulcrum of a spring element 29. Here the spring element 29 is mounted rotatably on a widened portion 31, for example a bearing bushing 25, of the rotary lever 21.
[0112]
[0113] The nested arrangement of the levers 20 can easily be seen from
[0114]
[0115] Two rotary levers 21 arranged in parallel are shown, which are connected via a bearing bushing 25. Furthermore, the internal spacer 26, which is formed as a bushing, can be seen. The internal spacer 26 fixes the distance between the two rotary levers 21. The internal diameter of the internal spacer 26 substantially corresponds to the outer diameter of the bearing bushing 25.
[0116] The arrangement along the axis of symmetry, marked as a dotted line and corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bearing pin 24 (not represented), has the following sequence: [0117] side wall 14 [0118] two rotary levers 21 [0119] side wall 14
[0120]
[0121] The bearing bushing 25 is connected to the rotary lever 21 and mounted on the bearing pin 24. The bearing pin 24 is formed as a one-sided rivet. During an installation the rivet only has to be fastened on one side, for example by orbital riveting.
[0122] The arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the at least one bearing pin 24 (dashed line) has the following sequence: [0123] a base lever 22 [0124] a rotary lever 21 [0125] a base lever 22
[0126]
[0127] The bearing bushing 25 is pressed, as in the case of the bearing 30 from section plane E, into the holes 23 of both rotary levers 21 and connects these. A bearing pin 24 formed as a one-sided rivet is visible in the bearing bushing.
[0128] On the outside of the bearing bushing 25, a spring element 29 is attached and mounted rotatably relative to the two rotary levers 21 and the two base levers 22.
[0129] The spring element 29 is formed as an elastic lever, which is stretched between two bearings 30. A force is thus exerted on both bearings 30. In the case of a load change, a jumping of the bearing pin 24 in a hole 34 and/or a bearing bushing 25 can be avoided in this way. In the present embodiment, the spring element is stretched between the two bearings 30 of the section planes A and C.
[0130] The position of the spring element 29 with respect to the bearing bushing 24 on which the spring element 29 is mounted rotatably is fixed by clamping. The rotatable mounting is thus used only during the installation of the actuating mechanism 12, but not in operation of the furniture fitting 10.
[0131] The arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the at least one bearing pin 24 has the following sequence: [0132] a base lever 22 [0133] a rotary lever 21 [0134] a spring element 29 [0135] a rotary lever 21 [0136] a base lever 22
[0137]
[0138]
[0139] The end of the spring element 29 which, with a hole arranged at the opposite end, is attached to the bearing bushing 25 of the bearing 30 of the section plane C is also visible.
[0140]
[0141]
[0142] A method for producing a furniture fitting 10 has the following method steps:
[0143] A first side wall 14 of the main body 11 is provided (see
[0144] In a further method step (see
[0145] In a further method step (see
[0146] In a further method step (see
[0147] In a last step, the second side wall 14 of the main body 11 is attached to the bearing pin 24. The bearing pin 24 is thus arranged between the two side walls 14 of the main body.
[0148] In
[0149]
[0150] A rotary lever 21 with a hole 23 is provided (see
[0151] A bearing bushing 25 is introduced into the hole 23 (see
[0152] A spring element 29 is attached around the bearing bushing 25 (see
[0153] A second rotary lever 21 is arranged with a hole 23 such that the bearing bushing 25 is arranged in the hole 23 (see
[0154] In a further method step, the two base levers 22, which are connected to one another in this embodiment, are arranged around the bearing bushing 25 (see
[0155] The bearing pin 24 is inserted through the bearing bushing 25 and the holes 34 of the base levers 22.
[0156] Here the bearing pin 24 is formed as a one-sided rivet. The fastening of the rivet can be realized by orbital riveting.
