Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fitting for a corner cabinet door according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a carousel which can be rotated about a vertical axis is often provided and has a plurality of shelves which are arranged at a distance from one another and can be rotated as a unit.
  • the door is rotatably held on the carousel. When opening, the door is first pushed radially inward so that it can move past the adjacent sides of the body, and then the door is moved out of the door opening by rotating the carousel.
  • a door fitting for a corner cabinet of this type is known from DE-GM 77 36 498.
  • This fitting has a telescopic sleeve arranged approximately halfway up the door between the axis of rotation and the door, which receives a helical compression spring, through which the door is biased outwards into the closed position.
  • cam disks are arranged, each of which has a control cam that runs concentrically to the carousel axis with an outward protuberance in a position corresponding to the closed position of the door.
  • the door is provided with a cam follower at the top and bottom, which engages in the control cam.
  • DE-GM 87 05 055 describes a fitting in which only a single cam disc is required at the bottom of the cabinet.
  • the door is attached to the carousel by swiveling handlebars that allow the door to move radially inwards.
  • the links are rigidly arranged on a vertical shaft, so that a synchronism between the upper and lower end of the door is ensured.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a corner cabinet door fitting of the type mentioned, in which, according to the ideas of a modern kitchen design, the functional parts are largely removed from the eyes and access of the user and / or have smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces.
  • the telescopic mechanism is formed by interlocking box-shaped parts which extend over the entire height of the space between two shelves and thus form an essentially smooth vertical partition wall of the carousel.
  • a kitchen corner cabinet 10 is shown with an angled door 12.
  • the side walls 14 of the corner cabinet are set back so far at the front end relative to the adjacent cabinet bodies 16 that a radial inward movement of the door 12 is made possible.
  • a carousel 18 which can be rotated about a vertical axis and has two essentially circular shelves 20.
  • the shelves 20 each have an approximately quarter-circular cutout 22 for receiving the angled door 12.
  • At the bottom of the cutout 22 there is a rectangular recess 24 which extends to the center of the shelf and accommodates parts of a door fitting (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • the lower shelf 20 is arranged closely above the floor 26 of the corner cabinet 10.
  • the shelves 20 are rigidly connected to a shaft, not shown in Figures 1 and 2, which is rotatably mounted on the floor and on the ceiling of the corner cabinet.
  • the door fitting 30 includes a telescopic mechanism 32, by means of which the angled door 12 is held in a radially movable manner on the shaft 28 of the carousel 18, and a cam mechanism 34, which controls the radial movement of the door 12 with the rotary movement of the carousel 18 about the axis of rotation formed by the shaft 28 couples.
  • the telescopic mechanism 32 has a box-shaped telescope housing 36 which is open towards the angled door 12 and in which a door holder 38, which is also box-shaped, is guided.
  • the telescopic housing 36 extends in height from the top of the upper shelf 20 to below the underside of the lower shelf 20 and is inserted with a precise fit in the recesses 24 of the shelves.
  • the shelves 20 can be fixed, for example by screws, to the telescopic housing 36, so that the carousel 18 is stiffened overall by the telescopic housing 36.
  • the telescopic housing 36 has at its inner end a vertically running channel 40 which is adapted to the circumference of the shaft 28.
  • pockets 42 are formed which are open at the bottom and by means of which the telescopic housing can be locked in a rotationally fixed manner on pins 44 inserted transversely through the shaft 28.
  • the trough 40 is closed to the outside by a clamping strip 46, which is fixed to the telescopic housing 36 with hooks 48 bent downwards and, with semicircular recessed horizontal webs 50, lies firmly against the circumference of the shaft 28. In this way, the telescopic housing 36 is rigidly attached to the shaft 28.
  • the telescopic housing 36 receives at the upper and at the lower end a U-shaped toothed rack 52, which is provided with teeth on the inside both on its horizontal leg and on the two vertical legs.
  • the door holder 38 has on each side a bearing 54 open to the side surface for a shaft 56 which is continuous in the vertical direction and on which a gearwheel 58 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner both at the upper and at the lower end.
  • the gears 58 mesh with the vertical legs of the rack 52, so that inward and outward movement of the door holder 38 in the telescopic housing 36 is forcibly synchronized between the upper and lower ends of the door holder.
  • a bearing 60 for a horizontal shaft 62 which is provided with gear wheels 64 at both ends, is let into the upper and lower ends of the door holder 38 in a position offset relative to the shafts 56.
  • the toothed wheels 64 mesh with the horizontal leg of the toothed rack 52 and thus ensure a synchronism between the left and the right side of the door holder 38.
  • the toothed wheels 58 and 64 roll on the toothed rack 52, so that a low-friction and tilt-free entry and exit movement of the door holder 38 is achieved.
  • FIG. 4 the telescopic housing 36 and the door holder 38 have a spring guide rod 66 and a spring guide sleeve 68 inside, which serve to receive a closing spring 69 with which the door is biased radially outward into the closed position.
  • FIG. 5 also shows a pneumatic closing damper 70 which is articulated with its radially outer end inside the door holder 38 and articulated with its other end on the toothed rack 52 and dampens the impact of the door in the closed position.
  • the door holder 38 is provided at the lower end with a radially inward projection 72, which projects into a slot 74 at the lower end of the telescopic housing 36 and carries a roller 76 which serves as a curve follower.
  • the roller 76 engages in a cam disk 78 which is mounted on the floor 26 of the corner cabinet.
  • the cam disk 58 has a control groove 80 which runs in a ring around the lower bearing for the shaft 28 and which, in a position corresponding to the closed position of the door, forms a funnel-shaped opening 82 pointing outwards. When the door is closed, the roller 76 lies in the opening 82.
  • the roller 76 rotates in the annular part of the control groove 80, so that the door in is held in a retracted position in which it does not abut the inner walls of the corner cabinet 10.
  • the roller 76 engages again in the opening 82 under the action of the closing spring, so that the angled door is brought back into the closed position.
  • the components of the door fitting 30 described above, in particular the telescopic housing 36 and the door holder 38, are designed as injection molded plastic parts.
  • the toothed strips 52 and the shafts with the gears 58 and 64 formed integrally thereon are preferably made of polyamide, so that no lubrication or maintenance of these parts is required.
  • the fitting described above can be installed in the following way.
  • the telescopic housing 36 with the door holder 38 and the gear parts contained therein are already pre-assembled by the manufacturer.
  • the shafts 56 with the gears 58 and the shafts 62 with the gears 64 loosely inserted into the bearings 54, 60 of the door holder 38 provided for this purpose and fixed by plugging in the upper and lower toothed strips 52.
  • the closing spring is plugged onto the spring guide rod 66 of the telescopic housing 36, and the closing damper 70 is hooked into the door holder 38 and on the toothed rack 52.
  • the unit formed by the door holder 38 and the toothed strips 52 with the gear parts is then inserted into the telescopic housing 36, the toothed strips 52 being supported with their outer contour on the inner surface of the telescopic housing 36 and thus holding the shafts and gearwheels in position. Finally, the toothed strips 52 are fixed in the telescopic housing 36 with the aid of clamping screws, not shown.
  • the cam plate 78 is mounted with the lower bearing for the shaft 28 in the corner cabinet 10, and the shaft 28 is inserted into the lower bearing and fixed to a bearing mounted under the ceiling of the corner cabinet with a telescopic coupling piece.
  • the shelves 20 are inserted into the cabinet in an inclined position through the door opening and first laid flat on the floor of the corner cabinet in the position shown in FIG.
  • the door 12 can be conveniently attached to the telescopic mechanism 30 outside the cabinet, and the unit thus formed is then mounted on the shaft 28.
  • the telescopic housing 36 is placed with the groove 40 on the shaft 28 and plugged onto the transverse pins 44 in a slight downward movement.
  • the terminal strip 46 is then inserted from the opposite side and hooked onto the telescopic housing 36 in a downward movement.
  • the floors 20 are then attached to the telescopic housing 36 at the desired height.
  • the door holder 38 has two flanges 84 which lie in a common plane at right angles to the insertion direction of the door holder.
  • a rectangular recess 86 for the door angle is provided between the flanges 84.
  • At least two brackets 88 are screwed to the door 12, which in turn are screwed to the flanges 84.
  • the bracket 88 forms a certain space 90 with the recess 86, so that an adjustment of the door 12 with respect to the door holder 38 is possible not only in the vertical but also in the horizontal.
  • the position of the door 12 is determined by the fact that the gear wheels 58 and / or 64 reach the end of the toothed region of the respectively associated leg of the toothed strips 52.
  • the clamping screws for the toothed strips 52 are temporarily loosened, and the toothed strips are moved in the telescopic housing 36 and fixed again in the desired position. Since the upper and lower toothed strips 52 can be adjusted independently of one another, the inclination of the door 12 can also be adjusted in this way. This may result in a slight deviation of the shafts 56 from the vertical, but this can easily be tolerated in view of the tooth play of the relatively short vertical legs of the toothed strips 52.
  • An essential advantage of the fitting described above is that the assembly of the bash parts, in particular the gear parts, is possible with a minimum of screw connections and consequently with a relatively small amount of work.
  • An important advantage for the kitchen manufacturer or the end user is that the entire telescopic mechanism is supplied as a preassembled unit, so that storage and assembly are considerably simplified.
  • the fitting is characterized by simple and versatile adjustment options.
  • the corner cabinet 10 shown in FIG. 6 differs from the corner cabinet according to FIG. 1 in that a flat, diagonally arranged door 92 is provided instead of the angled door 12.
  • the shelves 20 accordingly have only a flat, segment-shaped recess 94, and the recess 24 for the telescopic housing 36 is further away from the center of the shelf.
  • a somewhat narrower box-shaped adapter 96 is provided according to FIGS. 7 and 8, which can be locked on the telescopic housing 36 instead of the terminal strip 46.
  • the adapter 96 has at the outer end a number of hooks 98 bent upwards, which engage in openings provided for this purpose in the wall of the telescopic housing 36. By cranking the hook 98 upwards it is achieved that the dead weight of the door and the telescopic mechanism can be positively received.
  • the adapter 96 has the same design as the telescopic housing 36, so that it can be fixed in a corresponding manner to the shaft 28 with the aid of the clamping strip 46.
  • the shelves 20 are provided according to FIG. 6 with a recess 100 which is adapted to the layout of the adapter 96.
  • the door 92 can be attached to the flanges 84 of the door holder instead of the bracket 88.
  • the roller 76 attached to the door holder 38 cannot be used in this case and is disguised or replaced by a cap 102 which is attached to the projection 72 and which extends inward below the adapter 96 and carries a roller 104 which serves as a curve follower at the inner end .
