DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(26)
(27) In
(28) In addition to the at least one door leaf 2, the piece of furniture 38 has a furniture carcass 3. The furniture carcass 3 has at least one interior 39, and the at least one interior 39 can be covered, at least in areas, by the at least one door leaf 2. At least one electrical appliance 11 can be arranged in the interior 39, and the electrical appliance 11 is not represented in
(29) In
(30)
(31) The piece of furniture 38 comprises two shaft-shaped cavities 40, in which the door leaves 2, 36 can be sunk. The cavities are delimited by side walls 20, 21, and the side walls 20, 21 are held together by an installation device 13. The support-guiding rails 5 are located in these cavities 40.
(32)
(33) In the right-hand cavity 40 in
(34) An adapter 14, which is arranged on the installation device 13 in the cavity 40, can furthermore be seen. As described further below, at least one switch device 7 and/or at least one sensor 8 can be attached to this adapter 14.
(35) The installation device 13 is formed substantially flat or substantially bridge-shaped in a cross-section and has a first installation interface 18 for fastening, preferably detachably, the at least one installation device 13 to a first side wall 20 of the furniture carcass 3 and a second installation interface 19 for fastening, preferably detachably, the at least one installation device 13 to a second side wall 21 of the furniture carcass 3 spaced apart from the first side wall 20.
(36) The two side walls 20, 21 are thus fixed against one another and the adapter 14 can be attached centrally in the cavity 40.
(37) The embodiments of the following
(38)
(39) The guiding system 1 for guiding at least one door leaf 2 relative to a furniture carcass 3 comprises at least one support 4, on which the at least one door leaf 2 can be mounted, preferably in an articulated manner.
(40) Furthermore, the guiding system 1 comprises a, preferably at least two, support-guiding rail(s) 5 (not represented for reasons of clarity), which are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the at least one support 4. At least one guiding device 6 is provided to allow the at least one support 4 to be mounted displaceably on the at least one support-guiding rail 5, preferably in a direction substantially transverse to a longitudinal direction of the at least one support 4.
(41) The support 4 and thus the door leaf 2 can thus be pushed along the support-guiding rail 5 into and out of the cavity 40. The (open) door leaf 2 is thus stowed in the cavity 40 and does not disrupt the overall aesthetic impression of the piece of furniture 38.
(42) The guiding system 1 can comprise at least one switch device 7 and/or at least one sensor 8 or at least one interface 9 for fastening, preferably detachably, the at least one switch device 7 and/or the at least one sensor 8.
(43) The at least one switch device 7 and/or the at least one sensor 8 are/is formed to generate at least one signal 10, with which the power supply to at least one electrical appliance 11, preferably kitchen appliance 12, can be interrupted and/or enabled. For example, a kitchen appliance can be operated only when the door is open.
(44) The at least one switch device 7 and/or the at least one sensor 8 or the at least one interface 9 are positioned relative to the at least one support-guiding rail 5 in such a way that the at least one switch device 7 and/or the at least one sensor 8 can be switched and/or triggered in at least one predetermined position of the at least one support 4 and thus of the at least one door leaf 2 relative to the at least one support-guiding rail 5.
(45) The at least one predetermined position can be an end position of the at least one support 4 relative to the at least one support-guiding rail 5. This predetermined position is occupied in
(46) The switch device 7 and/or the sensor 8 is thus also positioned relative to the furniture carcass 3 in such a way that the at least one switch device 7 and/or the at least one sensor 8 can be switched and/or triggered in a, preferably completely, sunken position of the at least one door leaf 2 in the cavity 40.
(47) In
(48) The first component 71 of the switch device 7 is formed as a magnet 30 and the second component 72 of the switch device 7 is formed as a reed switch 29. By moving the support 4 with the magnet 30 into the proximity of the reed switch 29, the reed switch 29 is switched, in particular a signal 10 is emitted, which then switches the power supply to the electrical appliances 11 on or off.
(49) The reed switch 29 therefore functions as a sensor 8 for the magnetic field of the magnet 30. To switch the reed switch 29, the magnet 30 must be arranged close enough to the reed switch 29.
(50) Since the sizes of the switches can vary, it is desirable to be able to arrange the reed switches 29 flexibly. The second component 72 of the switch device 7 is therefore arranged on the installation device 13 with an adapter 14. By means of the adapter 14, the second component 72 of the switch device 7 can be installed with at least two different spacings relative to the at least one installation device 13.
(51) In
(52) The interface 9 can be fastened, preferably detachably, to the support head 22 via fasteners 26. The fasteners 26 in the present embodiment are screws 27.
(53) Here,
(54) It may be noted here that it is also conceivable that the switch device 7 is formed as a light barrier, preferably wherein the at least one sensor 8 is formed as a light sensor.
(55)
(56) It can be seen here that the adapter 14 has at least one first fastening interface 15 for fastening, preferably detachably, the adapter 14 to the installation device 13 and a second fastening interface 16 spaced apart therefrom in a height direction of the adapter 14 for fastening, preferably detachably, the second component 72 of the switch device 7.
(57)
(58)
(59) The support head 22 is fastened to the hinge strip 35 by screws, wherein the screws 35 project through elongated holes in the hinge strip 35. Through the use of elongated holes, the height position of the support head 22 with respect to the door leaf 22 can be adjusted in a limited manner.
