Definitions

  • the invention relates to a set of sliding door gears, each comprising at least one door mount for slidable mounting of at least one sliding door to a stationary structure, such as a door frame or a piece of furniture, in particular a cabinet, wherein the door mounts can be moved from a closed position to an open position via an intermediate position, wherein the door mounts can be moved from the closed position to the intermediate position in a first opening direction, wherein an upper sliding door gear is provided to be arranged in an upper region of the stationary structure, in particular on top of a cabinet, preferably on the top wall of a cabinet, and to be associated with an upper end of the sliding door, wherein a lower sliding door gear is provided to be arranged in a lower region of the stationary structure, in particular below a cabinet, preferably on a bottom wall of a cabinet, and to be associated with a lower end of the sliding door, wherein a synchronizing device is provided to synchronize movement of the door mount(s) of the upper sliding door gear and the door mount(s) of
  • a set of sliding door gears may also provide for the door mounts to be movable from the intermediate position to the open position in a second opening direction transverse to the first opening direction.
  • the sliding device comprises a displacement device that is linearly displaceable along a rail element mounted on the top wall of a cabinet.
  • the displacement device comprises a cover that is attached to a sliding door.
  • the cover is displaced in a direction facing away from the cabinet by means of a curved track disposed on the rail element interacting with a curve roller that is connected to the cover. Consequently, the sliding door is moved away from the cabinet in a first opening direction.
  • a synchronizing device is provided in order to synchronize movement of the sliding door in an upper region of the door, where the cover is connected to the door, to a lower region of the door.
  • the synchronizing device comprises a transmission shaft that is rotatably mounted to a partition wall of the cabinet. By rotation of the transmission shaft, movement in the upper and lower region of the door are synchronized.
  • the use of rigid transmission members like transmission shafts for synchronizing may have several disadvantages.
  • the rigid transmission members need to be produced in many different dimensions, in particular length dimensions, in order to account for different cabinet and/or door sizes.
  • the rigid transmission members must be manufactured with sufficient accuracy to ensure reliable interaction with other components, especially with the components to be synchronized.
  • rigid transmission members provide very little flexibility in terms of their arrangement on the cabinet. For, instance, a transmission shaft generally needs to be substantially straight and thus needs to be aligned along a straight line.
  • the problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a set of sliding door gears ensuring reliable synchronization of the movement of door mounts achieved by simple means, and that is easily customizable to different installation situations, such as cabinet sizes, and wherein furthermore the synchronization can be easily re-adjusted.
  • the problem is solved in that in that synchronizing is performed by means of at least one flexible transmission member of the synchronizing device transmitting a mechanical force.
  • a synchronization need not be limited to achieving simultaneous movement of the upper and the lower door mounts. Rather, a synchronization may achieve that, if one of the upper and the lower door mounts is moved in and/or against the first opening direction, the other(s) is/are also moved at least within the same operation, i.e., for example, within the same event of moving the door mount between from the closed to the intermediate position or vice versa.
  • a time delay may be due to a delay element, for example due to a damper associated with the movement of one or more of the door mounts.
  • synchronization may refer to simultaneous and/or time-delayed movement of the upper and lower door mount(s). Further, synchronization need not necessarily mean that both upper and lower door mounts need move in the same manner, in the same direction and/or for the same distance.
  • a flexible transmission member may be easily customizable with regard to its length.
  • a flexible transmission member may be provided in standard lengths and may be cut to an appropriate size with minimum effort.
  • a flexible transmission member may be guided in any desired way, for example, along a straight, angled and/or curved path.
  • a flexible transmission member may comprise and/or consist of a cable, wire, chain, rope, or the like.
  • a mechanical force transmitted by the flexible transmission member may be a tensile (pulling) force. Additionally or alternatively, the flexible transmission member may be able to transmit a compressive (pushing) force. While generally flexible transmission members are suitable for transmitting tensile forces, flexible transmission elements may also be used to transmit compressive forces, at least to some extent.
  • the flexible transmission member comprises a wire.
  • the flexible transmission member may be a Bowden cable.
  • the synchronizing device comprises at least one transmission element, wherein a movement of the sliding door in and/or against the first opening direction is translated to a movement of the transmission element, and in that the flexible transmission member is coupled to the transmission element, such that it at least partially follows the movement of the transmission element.
  • the transmission element may be a part of a transmission device, wherein the synchronizing device may comprise at least two transmission devices, wherein at least one of the transmission devices may be operatively associated with the upper and at least one of the transmission devices may be operatively associated with the lower sliding door gear, respectively.
  • the transmission element is designed as a pulley, that the movement of the transmission element is a rotation, and that the flexible transmission member is guided on the transmission element in an area of an outer circumference of the transmission element at least in regions, a transmission of movement which is particularly suited for a flexible transmission member comprising a wire, cable, chain and/or rope is achieved.
  • the flexible transmission member is guided in a groove provided on the outer circumference of the transmission element at least in regions.
  • the flexible transmission member may be secured to the transmission element in an easy and reliable manner, if at least one clamping means is provided on the transmission element, and if the at least one flexible transmission member can be secured to the transmission element by the clamping means.
  • the clamping means may, for instance, be a clamping bolt and/or a cable clamp.
  • a movement of the door mount in and against the first opening direction may be transmitted efficiently to the transmission element by means of at least one connecting lever.
  • the at least one connecting lever may be coupled to a moving part that moves together with the door mount during its movement between the closed and the intermediate position.
  • the connecting lever may preferably be pivotably coupled to said moving part at a first pivot point. Further, the connecting lever may be pivotably coupled to the transmission element at a second pivot point. In each case, coupling may be direct or indirect. For instance, the connecting lever may be coupled to the transmission element indirectly by means of a transmission lever that is arranged between the two.
  • the connecting lever consists of at least two parts, wherein the length of the connecting lever can be adjusted by adjusting the relative lengthwise position of the at least two parts to one another.
  • adjustment of the relative position of the at least two parts may be enabled by means of a threaded engagement between the at least two parts.
  • the connecting lever may comprise a first end part, a second end part and a rod part arranged therebetween.
  • the first end part and/or the second end part may comprise a threaded receptacle to receive a section of the rod part, wherein the rod part may be or comprise a threaded rod.
  • An embodiment of the invention may be characterized in that a transmission lever is coupled to the transmission element, wherein the transmission lever is preferably fixedly coupled to the transmission element, and in that the connecting lever is coupled to the transmission lever.
  • the connecting lever may preferably be pivotably coupled to the transmission lever at a first pivot point.
  • a path length to be covered by the flexible transmission member between the upper sliding door gear and the lower sliding door gear can be adjusted by means of at least one adjuster, the pre-tension of the flexible transmission member can be easily adjusted.
  • a path length need not exclusively be understood as a spatial distance between the door gears themselves, but rather may depend on the way the flexible transmission member is guided in between.
  • the path of the flexible transmission member may be curved, angled and/or straight at least in sections.
  • Secure guidance of the flexible transmission member may be achieved in that the flexible transmission member is guided within a cable housing at least along part of its length.
  • enhanced adjustability of the pre-tension of the flexible transmission member may further be achieved if it is provided that the cable housing is coupled with the adjuster.
  • the adjuster is designed as a barrel adjuster.
  • the cable housings may rigid and/or at least substantially incompressible in the lengthwise direction of the flexible transmission member.
  • each flexible transmission member may be installed separately.
  • each flexible transmission member may be customized to the appropriate length according to the installation situation.
  • at least two cable housings may be provided, in each of which one of the flexible transmission members may be guided at least along part of its length.
  • a flexible transmission member may be provided as a loop.
  • Mechanically robust synchronization may be achieved in that at least one mounting block is provided to be mounted in an upper region of the stationary structure, in particular on top of a cabinet, preferably on the top wall of a cabinet. Additionally or alternatively, at least one mounting block may be provided to be mounted in a lower region of the stationary structure, in particular below a cabinet, preferably on a bottom wall of a cabinet.
  • the transmission element may rotatably held on the mounting block.
  • (the) adjuster(s) are supported on the mounting block and adjustable relative thereto.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention may be characterized in that first guide means, in particular (a) guide rail(s), are provided, on which first guide elements coupled to the door mount are guided so as to be movable in and/or against a second opening direction, which is transverse to the first opening direction, in that the first guide means comprise a movable guide segment that is coupled to an extension/retraction device that enables movement of the movable guide segment in and/or against the first opening direction, and in that the synchronizing device enables synchronization of the movement of the movable guide segment(s) of the upper sliding gear with the movable guide segment(s) of the lower sliding door gear.
