Definitions

  • the invention relates to a guide unit for a movable furniture element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Many guide units therefore have more than two guide rails, which can be moved relative to each other in the extension or guide direction back and forth.
  • devices which coordinate the movement of at least part of the elements of a guide unit to one another. Due to the dependence on a movement such devices are called synchronization devices.
  • synchronization devices are known in which the movement of various elements of a guide unit by means of racks, which are coupled via a gear is controlled.
  • Synchronization device can act directly on one or more guide rails of a guide unit.
  • furniture construction synchronization devices which mainly influence the movement of rolling elements, which are arranged friction-reducing between running surfaces of multiple rails.
  • the synchronization device is driven indirectly by the movement of a pull-out rail, which is attached or formed on a movable furniture element, relative to a carcass rail on a furniture carcass.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a guide unit that allows a reliable and comfortable guidance of a movable furniture element under different loads.
  • the starting point of the invention is a guide unit for a movable furniture element with guide rails, with bearing means acting between the guide rails, which reduce the friction and transmit forces, with engagement rails, which are intended to move in a movement of the furniture element in opposite directions, a rotary member engaging with at least one engaging rail, wherein the engaging rail and the guide rail, which are on the same side with respect to the rotary member, are associated with each other.
  • the guide rails comprise a cabinet rail, a pull-out rail and a middle rail.
  • the engagement rails are intended to move in opposite directions, in particular with respect to a position of the rotary element.
  • the gist of the invention is that a head-side head line with at least one of the engagement rails is spaced from a tread formed on the associated guide rail for the bearing means which increases in response to a displacement of the movable furniture member from a retracted home position ,
  • the invention is based on the finding that the extendable guide rails are tilted all the more against an arrangement parallel to the carcass rail, the farther a movable furniture element is pulled out of a furniture carcass.
  • guide units in which, for example, the bearing means are moved back and forth during extension and insertion, the displacement of the bearing means along the extension direction can cause a disruption of the parallel arrangement of the guide rails. Therefore, for example, with tooth rails whose head lines extend in the retracted state of a guide unit parallel to the running surfaces of guide rails, the risk that the engagement of a synchronizing gear in the tooth rails deteriorates or is lost, the further the slide rail is extended with a movable furniture element.
  • Engagement rails may be, for example, racks in which engages, for example, a gear, which forms the rotary element.
  • intervention is used in this document in a sense, which also includes the attachment of surfaces of two bodies, which only by Transfer friction forces. Therefore, it is within the meaning of the invention also conceivable that an engagement rail has, for example, a smooth edge or smooth surface, for example, on which rolls as a rotary element, for example a cylindrical roller for a power transmission.
  • the engagement rails are attached to different mutually movable elements of the guide unit. Preferably, they are associated with paired elements that move at different speeds during an extension or insertion movement.
  • the elements can z.3. Guide rails or guide elements of the bearing means.
  • the guide rails When pulling or pushing a movable furniture element, the guide rails are moved relative to each other. By the movement of the guide rails, the engagement rails are directly or indirectly, e.g. together with the storage equipment, moved.
  • the engaging in the engagement rails rotary member is provided to control the movement of the engagement rails and thus the movement of the guide rails connected to the elements of the guide unit relative to each other.
  • the rotary member must not be attached to an element of the guide unit, to which an engagement rail is attached, which should be synchronized by the movement of the rotary member.
  • a guide unit can be adapted to spatial features.
  • the rotary member engages in two opposing engagement rails, between which it on an element of the guide unit, for example, a middle rail, which is movable to both engagement rails, is attached.
  • elements of the guide unit for a symmetrical arrangement for example, with respect to the rotary member, be designed to match, thereby reducing the number of different parts of a guide unit to reduce.
  • such an embodiment of the invention provides a uniform, symmetrical adaptation of the position of the rotary element between the elements of the guide unit with which the engagement rails are connected. As a result, one-sided loads and wear on elements of the guide unit can advantageously be avoided.
  • a head line of an engaging rail is here understood a smooth as possible, continuous line that connects, for example, a toothed rail, the outermost tips of all teeth of the dental rail with each other.
  • the head line is a concentric circle touching the tips of all the teeth. In a “smooth" engagement surface, the head line coincides with the surface.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the head line on the engagement side of at least one of the engagement rails to a running surface of the associated guide rail extends in such a way that the distance of the head line to the tread depends at least approximately linearly depending on the displacement of the movable furniture element.
  • the head line of an engagement rail with respect to the running surface of the associated guide rail can be arranged slightly inclined. This offers the advantage that the teeth of an engagement rail can be executed with a uniform tooth shape and yet always ensures a secure engagement.
  • Displacement of the movable furniture element is not linear.
  • the head line of the engagement side of one of the engagement rails is concave and / or convex.
  • the headline of the engagement side of an engagement rail can be matched to the elastic behavior of the guide rails and the bearing means.
  • At least one of the engagement rails when engaging the rotary member perpendicular to the direction of motion guide elastically yielding offers the advantage that the course of the head line of an engagement rail itself makes little or no contribution to the leverage forces, which strive to the guide rails of a to deflect parallel arrangement.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the engagement rails are attached to guide elements of the bearing means and the rotary member is mounted on one of the guide rails, in particular a center rail. This offers the advantage that the forces exerted by the rotary member on the engagement rails, not unmiztelbar act on the guide rails themselves and thus increases the moment that can interfere with a parallel guide rails.
  • spacers of one of the guide members of the bearing means are abutted on the running surface of one of the guide rails such that the engaging-side head line of the engagement rail attached to the guide member has an increasing distance from the running surfaces along a moving direction.
  • a leadership unit of the type mentioned in the introduction as a starting point offers yet another approach to improving the motion control.
  • the essential idea of a second guide unit according to the invention consists in that a middle rail movably mounted in the extension direction between a pull-out rail and a rail has at least two running surfaces for a movable mounting on the pull-out rail and the carcass rail, wherein the running surfaces extend along the longitudinal axis of the middle rail Approach each other.
  • the length dimension of the approach of the treads is comparatively small, in particular less than one percent, compared to length dimensions of e.g. Widths of rail section sections or e.g. Bearing means diameters.
  • the treads approach each other towards a front, in the extension direction lying end of the center rail towards each other, for example wedge-shaped.
  • the bearing means on the respective running surfaces for example, roll along when rolling on the running surfaces, while striving in opposite directions apart and exert on the running surfaces of the carcass rail and / or the pull-out rail to the extension direction of transverse forces.
  • they can put the pull-out rail and / or the carcass rail under mechanical tension such that a tilting of the rails relative to one another by a front-side load causes increasingly greater elastic forces of the pull-out and / or carcass rail.
  • a head line of an engagement rail has a distance to a running surface of an associated guide rail, which increases depending on a displacement of a movable furniture element relative to an inserted starting position.
  • a change in a distance of the running surface of an associated guide rail, e.g. the pull-out or the carcass rail can be compensated for an engaging rotary member.
  • a change in distance can take place, for example, as a result of deformation as a result of a shift in the center of gravity of a movable furniture element during removal or insertion.
  • an engagement rail is designed such that a head line of the engagement rail extends substantially parallel to a running surface of an associated guide rail.
  • a guide unit according to the invention can also be implemented prematurely with a middle rail, the running surfaces of which are located at different sections of the cross-sectional profile of the middle rail, in particular if the middle rail at least partially surrounds the drawer and / or carcass rail.
  • the running surfaces are located on a common profile section, in particular on opposite sides of a profile section, of the middle rail. This offers the advantage that an approximate course of the running surfaces can be formed relatively easily with comparatively high accuracy.
  • a middle rail consists of a metal sheet whose material thickness, for example, increases along or perpendicular to a rolling direction of the metal sheet.
  • FIG. 1 a guide unit 1 according to the invention is shown, which can be attached to a front-side angle element 20 and with a rear angle element 21 on the inside of a right side wall of a furniture body.
  • a guide unit 1 according to the invention is shown, which can be attached to a front-side angle element 20 and with a rear angle element 21 on the inside of a right side wall of a furniture body.
  • FIG. 1 As in all following figures are no parts of furniture, neither a furniture body nor a movable
  • FIG. 1 shows the guide unit 1 in a fully inserted state.
  • the extension direction is marked with an arrow A.
  • a cylindrical bolt 3 is mounted, which forms a rotary shaft for a rotatably mounted pinion 2.
  • the bolt 3 and thus also the pinion 2 are arranged substantially centrally with respect to the length and the height of the mizzle rail 11.
  • Protruding from the top of a side section 12b of the pull-out rail is a toothed rail 4 in which the pinion 2 engages.
  • the pinion engages in a toothed rail 5, which protrudes from below over a vertical side portion 10b of the pull-out rail 10.
  • the toothed rails 4 and 5 have no fixed connection with the guide rails 10 and 12, but are with a roller carriage, as in FIG. 5 is shown without rollers, trained or attached thereto.
  • the toothed rails move together with the roller carriage, by means of which the rails 10, 11 and 12 are guided in a substantially parallel arrangement to each other.
  • FIG. 1 can be explained by way of example, how movements of elements of a guide unit can be coupled to a movement of the drawer rail relative to the carcass rail.
  • the toothed rail 4 by the movement of the bearing means (not shown), for example, balls, rollers or rollers, also moved in the extension direction A, thereby driving the pinion 2, with the Dental splint 4 in engagement look.
  • the movement of the pinion 2 is on the lower Transfer rack 5, so that via the pinion 2 on the bolt 3, a force acting in the extension direction A force occurs, which moves the center rail 11 in the extension direction A.
  • the bearing means (not shown) are moved in the carcass rail 10 in the direction A, so that the lower roller carriage (not shown) also moves with the toothed rail 5 in the direction A relative to the carcass rail 10.
  • the center rail 11 is additionally driven in the direction A.
  • the toothed rail 4 is arranged according to the invention so that its head line at the point of engagement of the pinion 2 from horizontal portion 12a of their associated pullout rail 12 increasingly removed, the farther the pullout rail is removed from an inserted position.

  • the toothed rail 4 is firmly connected to a non-visible roller carriage, which is covered by the vertical portion of the pull-out rail 12. Behind the vertical portion 12b of the pull-out rail 12, however, all the teeth of the toothed rail 4 protrude downwards.
  • An imaginary head line 6 connects the tips of all teeth with each other. It is a straight line in the present embodiment.
  • the pull-out rail 12 can be so heavily loaded by the displacement of the center of gravity of a movable furniture element that the horizontal portion 12a of the pull-out rail 12 is no longer parallel to the horizontal portion 11a of the center rail 11 in the extension direction.
  • the steady increase in the distance of the tooth tips to the tread 12c ensures that the pinion 2 continues to securely engage the toothed rail 4 even when the drawer rail 12 is loaded with strong leverage, and reliable synchronization of the movement of the upper roller carriage to the center rail 11 as well as to the lower roller carriage is secured relative to the center rail 11.
  • FIG. 3 shows a portion of a pinion 2 on a guide unit in the inserted state. It provides an enlarged section of the FIG. 1 In this state, the focus of one connected to the drawer rail 12 furniture element is in close proximity to the center of the carcass rail 10, approximately through the Position of the pinion 2 and the pin 3 is marked.

  • the center of gravity of a furniture element connected to the pull-out rail 12 is at a comparatively large distance from the center of a carcass rail 10, so that large fogging forces act on all three guide rails 10, 11 and 12.
  • the pull-out rail 12 can be raised relative to the middle rail 11 and the middle rail 11 relative to the carcass rail 10 in each case in the rear region, so that there is the danger in a toothed rail of previous design that the pinion 2 engages only with insufficient or no engagement shifted into the toothed rail 4 or 5 or possibly both.
  • the toothed rail 4 due to the increase or the increasing height of the tooth tips relative to the tread 12a continues to be a secure engagement with the pinion 2.

  • the roller carriage is comparatively loosely between the horizontal rail sections of the guide rails in order to minimize frictional forces in a pull-out or insertion movement can.
  • An essential task of the roller carriage is to arrange the rolling elements at a certain distance from each other.
  • nubs 24a to 24d are formed at the top of the roller cage 21 .
  • the height of the nubs continuously increases over nubs 24b and 24c toward nub 24d.
  • the nubs are based in the installed state on the running surface of an outer horizontal profile section of either the carcass rail or the pull-out rail.
  • the knobs with their increasing height, cause the tooth 4a at the end of the toothed rail at the toothed rail 4 to have the smallest distance to a supporting running surface of e.g. Extractor or carcass rail can reach, and the distance of the tooth tips to a running surface of a guide rail to a tooth 4b at the opposite end of the toothed rail steadily increases.
  • a roller carriage By causing the increase of the distance of the tooth tips to a running surface only by individual nubs 24a to 24d, a roller carriage can be designed by comparatively slight changes for different loads of guide units.
  • the knobs arranged at predetermined intervals have the advantage that the roller carriage can yield elastically depending on the load situation between the support points of the knobs against the engagement of the pinion on the rack 4. As a result, the increase in the friction is slightly reduced by the knobs and continue the wear of the rack can also be reduced by the engagement of the pinion.
