DETAILED DESCRIPTION
(25) FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C show an inventive displacement device 1, which comprises a guide carriage 2 guided in a running rail 4 and a guide hinge 3 that is connected to a first separation element 5A.
(26) The guide carriage 2 comprises a carriage body 20 with a carriage head 23 and a carriage foot 22, which are connected with one another by a connecting beam 21. The carriage head 23 is provided with a horizontal alignment wheel axle 260 serving for holding a support wheel 26 and with two vertically aligned wheel axles 290 serving for holding guide wheels 29A, 29B (see FIG. 3A).
(27) The asymmetrically designed running rail 4 comprises a rail plate 41 that is vertically aligned and that connects a rail head 43 and a rail foot 42 with one another. At the upper side of the rail foot 42 a running surface 420 is horizontally extending, on which the support wheel 26 is running. The two guide wheels 29A and 29B, which hold the guide carriage 2 in alignment in parallel to the running rail 4, are guided within the rail head 43, which exhibits a U-profile that is opened downwards.
(28) The guide carriage 2 and the guide hinge 3, which is recessed in a sidewall of the separation element 5A, are connected with one another via a hinge lever 32, which is held below the running rail 4. Hence, the space above the separation element 5A and above the running rail 4 is kept free, wherefore the displacement device 1 and the running rail 4 can be installed in any functional entity without requiring additional space.
(29) The separation element 5A can be moved along the running rail 4 and be turned as desired by up to 180. FIG. 1A shows the separation element 5A is aligned parallel to the running rail 4. FIG. 1B shows the separation element 5A opened, i.e. perpendicularly aligned to the running rail 4. FIG. 10 shows the separation element 5A again aligned in parallel to the running rail 4, however turned by 180 compared to the alignment shown in FIG. 1A.
(30) FIG. 1A shows the guide hinge 3 with a hinge cup 31 that is recessed peripherally in a sidewall of the separation element 5A and that exhibits a cup recess 312 which is open towards the front face of the separation element 5A, into which cup recess 312 the hinge lever 32 can be turned, as shown in FIG. 1C.
(31) FIG. 1B shows that after opening and moving the separation element 5A, only the front side 411 of the rail plate 41 of the running rail 4 is visible, which therefore serves as a bezel. Hence, a separate bezel and related mounting devices are not required. The support wheel 26 and the two guide wheels 29 as well as the functional parts of the rail head 43 and of the rail foot 42 are covered aesthetically advantageous by the rail plate 41 and lie within the functional entity. Hence, after the separation element 5A has been moved for example into a door compartment, only the rail plate 41 is visible, which is not distracting and which can be provided with a design if required by the user.
(32) FIGS. 2A, 3A, 3B, 4 and 5 show the displacement device 1 of FIG. 1A in different views. FIG. 2A shows the displacement device 1 from the side with the carriage foot 22 comprising a bolt chamber 220, in which a mounting bolt 8 is seated. In bores 311 in the hinge cup 31, a hinge shaft 35 is seated. The hinge lever 32 is held on one side in the bolt chamber 220 by a mounting bolt 8 and is pivotally held on the other side in the hinge cup 31 by the hinge shaft 35. The distance a or a*, respectively, between the longitudinal axes x8, x35 of the mounting bolt 8 and the hinge shaft 35 can be adjusted by turning the hinge lever 32, which is described below with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. After the adjustment, the hinge lever 32 can be fixed in a desired position by means of adjustment screws 91, 92, which are screwed into threaded bores 2291, 2292 provided in the bolt chamber 220 (see FIG. 4).
(33) The rail head 43 of the running rail 4 comprises a guide channel opened downwards for receiving the guide wheels 29A. If additional stabilisation of the guide carriage 2 is desired, then the rail foot 42 is may be provided with a guide channel, which can receive two additional guide wheels. E.g., a U-profile that is opened downwards may be provided that exhibits on the upper side the running surface for guiding the support wheel 26. Hence, the inventive displacement device 1 can interact with different designs of running rails 4, whereby FIG. 2A shows a particularly compact running rail 4.
(34) FIG. 2B shows the displacement device 1 of FIG. 2A in an embodiment, in which the separation element 5A as well as the support wheel 26 and the guide wheels 29 are arranged on the same side 411 of the rail plate 41.
(35) FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B show the displacement device 1 of FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B without separation element. The bolt chamber 220 with mounting bolt 8 inserted therein is shown from two sides.
(36) FIG. 4 shows the displacement device 1 of FIG. 1A with the guide carriage 2 and the guide hinge 3 in an explosion view. The mounting bolt 8, which comprises a bolt head 81, a bolt shaft 82 with a threading and a cylindrical bolt foot 83, has been removed out of the bolt chamber 220.
(37) FIG. 5A shows the bolt chamber 220 with a bearing seat 2281 on the upper side, which exhibits a front sided seat recess 22810, with a front-sided chamber opening 2201 and on the lower side a chamber base 2202 with a base opening 2283. The mounting bolt 8 can be inserted through the chamber opening 2201 and to the seat recess 22810 into bolt chamber 220 in such a way that the bolt foot 83 can enter the base opening 2283 and the bolt head 81 can be seated into the bearing seat 2281. The bolt shaft 82 which holds the hinge lever 32 is freely exposed in the bolt chamber 220 and can be turned by means of a tool, which can be coupled to the bolt foot 83 that is extending out of the bolt chamber 220. With the engagement of the mounting bolt 8 in the bolt chamber 220, a release protection is implemented. I.e., the separation element 5A that is connected to the guide hinge 3 cannot get released self-acting from the guide carriage 2. Hence, the separation element 5A can provisorily be engaged in the guide carriage 2 and can then be adjusted conveniently.
(38) FIG. 4 further shows the detached hinge lever 32, which comprises a holding sleeve 322 and a lever block 323, which are connected with one another via an L-shaped lever plate 321. The holding sleeve 322 has a cylindrical opening 3221, in which the hinge shaft 35 can be inserted. The lever block 323 comprises a threaded bore 3231, into which the bolt shaft 82 of the mounting bolt 8 can be screwed. When turning the mounting bolt 8 the lever block 323 held inside the bolt chamber 220 and therefore the separation element 5A held by the hinge lever 32 is shifted upwards or downwards. Hence, the height of the separation element 5A can be adjusted. It is further shown that the sidewalls of the bolt chamber 220, which are opposing one another, are provided with coaxially aligned threaded bores 2291, 2292, into which threaded bolts, i.e. the adjustment screw 91, 92, can be turned. The adjustment screws 91, 92 are provided with a coupling element 911 each, such as a hexagonal opening, which can be coupled with a tool.
(39) FIG. 4 further shows that the cup insert 36 can be inserted into the hinge cup 31, whose function is described below with reference to FIGS. 6A-6E.
(40) FIG. 5 shows the bolt chamber 220 with the adjustment screw 91, 92 from a different angle. The mounting bolt 8, which is connected to the lever block 323 of the hinge lever 32, can be inserted from the front side into the bolt chamber 220. The chamber opening 2201 that is provided on the front side is designed in such a way, that the front side of the hinge lever 32 that is held by the mounting bolt 8 can be turned to the left and to the right.
(41) FIG. 5A shows the detached hinge lever 32, which is held by the mounting bolt 8 and the adjustment screws 91, 92, in straight alignment. FIG. 5B shows the hinge lever 32, which is held by the mounting bolt 8 and the adjustment screws 91, 92, inclined. The longitudinal axis x8 of the mounting bolt 8 and the longitudinal axis x9 of the adjustment screws 91, 92 are located a lever distance h apart from one another. By turning the adjustment screws 91, 92 the hinge lever 32 can be turned with the result that the distance a between a line, which runs in parallel to the running rail 4 and which intersects the longitudinal axis x8 of the mounting bolt 8, and the holding sleeve 322 changes. With a clockwise turn of the hinge lever 32 a smaller distance a* results with a turn counter-clockwise of the hinge lever 32 a larger distance a* results. In total an adjustment range r is reached, which allows suitable adjustment of the distance between the separation element 5A and the running rail 4. By fastening the two adjustment screws 91, 92 the lever block 321 can then be fixed in a selected position.
(42) FIG. 6A shows the guide hinge 3 of FIG. 4 with the hinge cup 31, in which the cup insert 36 is inserted. The hinge cup 36, which is preferably made from plastic, comprises a cup insert recess 360 that narrows towards the inside and that exhibits inclined sidewalls 361, as shown in FIG. 6B. Hence, the hinge lever 32, which is adapted to the cup insert recess 360 can be turned into the hinge cup 31, i.e. into the cup insert recess 360 provided in the cup insert 36, until it is held in the terminal position by the sidewalls 361 without play. The sidewalls 361, which are inclined towards the inside, serve as inside slope, which grasp and center the hinge lever 32, while it is turned into the terminal position. Hence, turning the separation element 5A held by the hinge lever 32 into the terminal position is executed smoothly without obstacles.
(43) FIG. 6A and FIG. 6C show the hinge lever 32 released from the cup insert 36 and held by the hinge shaft 35 only. Hence, the hinge lever 32 can be moved along the hinge shaft 35 upwards and downwards. When turning the separation element 5A, e.g. during the folding process of the two pivotally connected separation elements 5A, 5B shown in FIG. 8, the hinge lever 32 is released from the cup insert 36 and therefore exhibits mechanical play and is movable, in order to compensate misalignments, which can occur under load or after a longer period of operation. Hence, the inventive displacement device 1 provides optimal running properties.
(44) FIG. 6D shows the hinge lever 32 while turning into the cup insert recess 360 provided in the cup insert 36. FIG. 6E shows the hinge lever 32 held in the terminal position without play by the cup insert 36.
(45) The inventive displacement device 1 can advantageously be installed in different functional entities, particularly conventional and standardised functional entities. The inventive displacement device can be installed for example in building units, such as kitchens, or wardrobes, which can be closed by foldable separation elements that, after opening, can be folded and be shifted into a door compartment.
(46) FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show a wardrobe or a cupboard 5 with sidewalls 5C, 5D, with a cover plate 5E and with a first and a second separation element 5A, 5B, which are connected to one another by joints 70 and which are foldable and can be moved into a door compartment 55. The leading first separation element 5A is holding on the front side an inventive displacement device 1 and is movable along a running rail 4, as shown in FIG. 1A. The two separation elements 5A, 5B are provided with connecting hinges 30 at the sides facing one another. The connecting hinges 30 comprise a connecting hinge lever 320 each, which are pivotally connected pairwise by an articulated shaft 73, as shown in FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B and also shown in FIG. 11-14. Two connecting hinges 30 each and the articulated shaft 73, which connects the connecting hinge levers 320, form a joint 70.
(47) The second separation element 5B is connected on the other side with bracket hinges 30 to a mounting bracket 61, which is held in vertical alignment by a scissor assembly 62 and which, in this preferred embodiment, is movable within the door compartment 55 by means of auxiliary carriages 63.
(48) FIG. 8 shows the wardrobe or cupboard 5 of FIG. 7 from above with the running rail 4, which extends with a first rail section 45 along the front of the wardrobe 5 and further with a second rail section 455 into the door compartment 55, into which the foldable separation elements 5A, 5B can be entered. The door compartment 55, which is laterally delimited by a wardrobe wall 5D and an outer wall 5F, is dimensioned in such a way that the two separation elements 5A, 5B can be received. Hence, the running rail 4, which consists of one or more rail elements, extends practically without intersection or transition from a first terminal position to a second terminal position of the displacement device 1. The inventive guide hinge 3 thereby allows, turning the first separation element 5A relative to the guide carriage 2 by 180, so that the guide carriage 2 can run ahead when closing or opening the separation elements 5A, 5B.
(49) In a preferred embodiment the guide carriage 2 can be provided with a drive unit A1 as mentioned above. For this purpose the two separation elements 5A, 5B are connected with one another by an articulated joint 70, which holds the two separation elements in symmetrical alignment. In a further embodiment, the two distal sides of the separation elements 5A, 5B are connected to motorised carriages. A motorised carriage 2 connected to the first separation element 5A can be used for folding and unfolding the separation elements 5A, 5B, while a motorised auxiliary carriage 63 connected to the second separation element 5B can drive the separation elements 5A, 5B into and out of the door compartment 55. In further arrangements the guide carriage 2 and the auxiliary carriage can be driven towards one another at first and then together along the running rail 4, e.g. into a park room or staple room. For controlling the drive unit A1 or the drive units A1 and A2 a control unit C is provided.
(50) FIG. 9 shows a part of the wardrobe 5 of FIG. 8, without separation elements 5A, 5B and without sidewalls with a view to the auf the exposed door compartment 55, into which the running rail 4 extends and in which a lower (not shown) and an upper auxiliary rail 40 are mounted, along which the mounting bracket 61 can be driven by means of auxiliary carriages 63. The mounting bracket 61 is held in vertical alignment preferably by a scissor assembly 62. Further device is known, with which the mounting bracket can be held in vertical alignment.
(51) FIG. 10A shows partly the two separation elements 5A, 5B, which are connected with one another by connecting hinges 30 and articulated shafts 73. FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B show that the connecting hinge levers 320 of the connecting hinges 30 are provided with hinge sleeves, which are coaxially aligned and are traversed by an articulated shaft 73. The articulated shafts 73 hold clamps 72 that engage in an intermediate bracket 71, which covers the free space between the two separation elements 5A and 5B.
(52) FIG. 10C shows the two connecting hinges 30 and the articulated shaft 73 of FIG. 10A. Further, a wedge shaped clamp 72 is shown, which engages in a form locking manner into the intermediate bracket 71 and is slidably held therein and which can be locked by a bridge-shaped locking element 74. The wedge shaped clamp 72 exhibits an axial bore 721, into which a bearing sleeve 720 can be inserted, which serves for receiving the articulated shaft 73. The wedge shaped clamp 72 further comprises a threaded bore 722, which serves for receiving a locking screw 741, with which the wedge shaped clamp 72 can be pulled against the locking element 74, which is supported by the intermediate bracket 71. Thereby the wedge shaped clamp 72 is also connected by force to the intermediate bracket 71 and can no longer be shifted axially.
(53) Hence, the intermediate bracket 71 is connected in a form locking manner to the articulated shaft 73 and therefore with the connecting hinges 30. Hence, for moving the separation elements 5A, 5B the intermediate bracket 71 can be grasped, which is preferably provided with a holding element 700, as shown in FIG. 8. Even under the impact of considerable forces, the intermediate bracket 71 is firmly held by the connecting hinges 30.
(54) Hence, in the event that no electrical drive unit is provided, the two separation elements 5A, 5B can be pulled out of the door compartment 55, can be unfolded, and can be folded and pushed back into the door compartment 55 by means of the holding element 700.
