Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Bewegen einer an einem Möbelkorpus bewegbar aufgenommenen Faltklappe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Möbel.The invention relates to a device for moving a folding flap which is movably received on a furniture body according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a piece of furniture.

Auf dem Gebiet des Möbelbaus sind Vorrichtungen zum Bewegen einer Faltklappe, die an einem Möbelkorpus bewegbar aufgenommen ist, in verschiedensten Ausführungen bekannt, z.B. aus der EP 1 799 945 B1 . Die Faltklappe besteht dabei aus wenigstens zwei miteinander gelenkig verbundenen Klappenelementen. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist regelmäßig mit einer Krafteinheit ausgestattet, die über einen im montierten Zustand an einem ersten Klappenelement angeordneten Stellarm das Öffnen der Faltklappe durch Krafteinwirkung zumindest unterstützt.In the field of furniture construction, devices for moving a folding flap, which is movably received on a furniture body, are known in a wide variety of designs, for example from US Pat EP 1 799 945 B1 . The folding flap consists of at least two hinged flap elements. Such a device is regularly equipped with a power unit which at least supports the opening of the folding flap by the action of force via an actuating arm arranged on a first flap element in the assembled state.

Außerdem ist für eine Faltklappe häufig ein zweiter Stellarm vorgesehen, der im montierten Zustand mit einem zweiten Klappenelement verbunden ist, um zum Beispiel unkontrollierte, insbesondere schwingende Bewegungen des zweiten Klappenelements zu vermeiden. Des Weiteren ist bekannt zumindest einen der Stellarme aus mehreren Stellarmabschnitten zusammenzusetzen, wobei zum Beispiel zwei Stellarmabschnitte durch eine Verstelleinrichtung miteinander verbunden sein können.In addition, a second actuating arm is often provided for a folding flap, which in the assembled state is connected to a second flap element in order to avoid, for example, uncontrolled, in particular oscillating, movements of the second flap element. Furthermore, it is known to assemble at least one of the actuating arms from a plurality of actuating arm sections, wherein, for example, two actuating arm sections can be connected to one another by an adjusting device.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde eine Vorrichtung zum Bewegen einer Faltklappe bereitzustellen, deren Einstellbarkeit verbessert ist.The invention is based on the object of providing a device for moving a folding flap, the adjustability of which is improved.

Die Aufgabe wird mit einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved with a device with the features of claim 1.

Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung geht von einer Vorrichtung zum Bewegen einer an einem Möbelkorpus bewegbar aufgenommenen Faltklappe aus wenigstens zwei gelenkig verbundenen Klappenelementen mit einer Krafteinheit aus, die über einen im montierten Zustand an einem ersten Klappenelement angeordneten Stellarm das Öffnen der Faltklappe durch Krafteinwirkung zumindest unterstützt. Die Vorrichtung ist mit einem zweiten Stellarm, der im montierten Zustand mit einem zweiten Klappenelement verbunden ist, ausgestattet. Dabei umfasst wenigstens einer der beiden Stellarme zwei Stellarmabschnitte, die über eine Verstelleinrichtung miteinander verbunden sind.The invention is based on a device for moving a folding flap movably received on a furniture carcass consisting of at least two articulated flap elements with a force unit which at least supports the opening of the folding flap through the action of force via an actuating arm arranged on a first flap element in the assembled state. The device is equipped with a second actuating arm which, in the assembled state, is connected to a second flap element. In this case, at least one of the two actuating arms comprises two actuating arm sections which are connected to one another via an adjusting device.

Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, dass an einem ersten Stellarmabschnitt ein Verstellelement mit einer spiralförmigen Verstellkontur drehbar gelagert ist, wobei an einem zweiten Stellarmabschnitt eine Eingreifstruktur ausgebildet ist, die zum Eingreifen in die Verstellkontur ausgebildet ist.The essence of the invention is that an adjusting element with a spiral-shaped adjusting contour is rotatably mounted on a first actuating arm section, an engagement structure being formed on a second actuating arm section which is designed to engage the adjusting contour.

Die Verstellkontur kann beispielsweise derart spiralförmig ausgebildet sein, dass einem Drehsinn entsprechend aufeinanderfolgende Eingreifpositionen an der Verstellkontur einen zunehmenden Abstand von einer vorgegebenen Drehachse aufweisen, wobei sich der Abstand beispielsweise proportional zu einem im Drehsinn zunehmenden Verdrehwinkel vergrößern kann. Hierbei ist ein Bezugs- bzw. Mittelpunkt der spiralförmigen Verstellkontur, insbesondere ein Ausgangspunkt der Spiralform vorzugsweise in der Drehachse des Verstellelements angeordnet.The adjustment contour can, for example, be spiral-shaped in such a way that successive engagement positions on the adjustment contour corresponding to a direction of rotation have an increasing distance from a predetermined axis of rotation, the distance being able to increase proportionally, for example, to an increasing angle of rotation in the direction of rotation. Here, a reference or center point of the spiral adjustment contour, in particular a starting point of the spiral shape, is preferably arranged in the axis of rotation of the adjustment element.

Die Eingreifstruktur kann derart eingreifen, dass ein Abschnitt der Eingreifstruktur an einem Abschnitt der Verstellkontur punkt- und/oder linienförmig anliegt. Außerdem kann die Eingreifstruktur derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie an der spiralförmigen Verstellstruktur flächig z.B. über einen Winkelabschnitt um eine Drehachse des Verstellelements erstreckt anliegt. Vorzugsweise sind dabei seitlich begrenzende Flächenbereiche der Verstellkontur für ein Abstützen der Eingreifstruktur vorgesehen. Die Verstelleinrichtung lässt sich dadurch relativ einfach selbsthemmend ausbilden, wobei eine Belastung am Stellarm ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen des Verstellelements sowohl bei einer Einstellungsänderung am Stellarm als auch nach einer Fixierung einer Einstellung verhindern kann.The engagement structure can intervene in such a way that a section of the engagement structure rests point-like and / or linearly against a section of the adjustment contour. In addition, the engagement structure can be designed in such a way that it is flat on the spiral adjustment structure, for example via a Angular section extends around an axis of rotation of the adjusting element rests. Laterally delimiting surface areas of the adjustment contour are preferably provided for supporting the engagement structure. As a result, the adjusting device can be designed to be self-locking relatively easily, with a load on the actuating arm being able to prevent unintentional rotation of the adjusting element both when a setting is changed on the actuating arm and after a setting has been fixed.

Das Verstellelement und insbesondere eine Drehachse des Verstellelements ist vorzugsweise ortsfest bezüglich des ersten Stellarmabschnitts gelagert. Die Eingreifstruktur ist am zweiten Stellarmabschnitt vorzugsweise ortsfest ausgebildet.The adjusting element and in particular an axis of rotation of the adjusting element is preferably mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the first actuating arm section. The engagement structure is preferably designed to be stationary on the second actuating arm section.

Die Verstellkontur ist an einer Stirnseite des Verstellelements vorzugsweise zwischen zwei parallelen Ebenen ausgebildet, die senkrecht zu einer Verstelldrehachse gelegen sind. Dadurch ist eine Verschiebung der Eingreifstruktur entlang - z.B. parallel - der Drehachse des Verstellelements vermeidbar, wenn das Verstellelement bezüglich der Eingreifstruktur gedreht wird.The adjustment contour is preferably formed on an end face of the adjustment element between two parallel planes which are perpendicular to an adjustment axis of rotation. As a result, a displacement of the engagement structure along - e.g. parallel - the axis of rotation of the adjustment element can be avoided when the adjustment element is rotated with respect to the engagement structure.

Des Weiteren kann die spiralförmige Verstellkontur in Form einer wendelförmigen Rampe ausgebildet sein, die sich mit z.B. abnehmendem Abstand von der Drehachse des Verstellelements axial zunehmend erstreckt und um die Drehachse umlaufend ausgebildet ist. Dadurch lässt sich z.B. eine vergleichsweise große Kontakt- bzw. Stützfläche zwischen der Eingreifstruktur und dem Verstellelement bereitstellen.Furthermore, the spiral adjustment contour can be designed in the form of a helical ramp which, for example, extends axially with decreasing distance from the axis of rotation of the adjustment element and is designed to run around the axis of rotation. In this way, for example, a comparatively large contact or support surface can be provided between the engagement structure and the adjustment element.

Eine äußere Ebene kann dabei eine Reibfläche bereitstellen, an die eine Druckfläche für eine Fixierung einer Winkelstellung des Verstellelements anpressbar ist. Die Druckfläche kann z.B. eine Seitenfläche eines der Stellarmabschnitte sein, die der äußeren Ebene des Verstellelements zugewandt anbringbar ist. Beispielsweise kann durch ein Anziehen einer Schraube, mit der sich die beiden Stellarmabschnitte verbinden lassen, die Seitenfläche des Stellarmabschnitts abschnittsweise an die äußere Ebene angedrückt sein. Außerdem kann die Druckfläche ein Oberflächenbereich der Eingreifstruktur sein.An outer plane can provide a friction surface against which a pressure surface for fixing an angular position of the adjusting element can be pressed. The pressure surface can, for example, be a side surface of one of the actuating arm sections, which can be attached facing the outer plane of the adjusting element. For example, by tightening a screw with which the two actuating arm sections can be connected, the Side surface of the actuating arm section be pressed against the outer plane in sections. In addition, the pressure surface can be a surface area of the engagement structure.

Um eine platzsparende, stabile Form des Verstellelements zu erreichen, kann das Verstellelement eine vorzugsweise kreisförmige Scheibe umfassen, an der die spiralförmige Verstellkontur an einer Stirnseite stegförmig hervorstehend ausgebildet ist. Dadurch lässt sich das Verstellelement vergleichsweise einfach mit einer Verstellkontur ausbilden, die über mehr als eine Drehung verstellbar ist.In order to achieve a space-saving, stable shape of the adjustment element, the adjustment element can comprise a preferably circular disk on which the spiral adjustment contour is designed to protrude in the form of a web on one end face. As a result, the adjustment element can be designed comparatively easily with an adjustment contour that can be adjusted via more than one rotation.

Vorzugsweise ist die Stirnseite mit der stegförmigen Verstellkontur eine kreisscheibenförmige, ebene Fläche, die nur im Bereich der Verstellkontur von einer ebenen Ausbildung abweicht. Dadurch lässt sich die Verstelleinrichtung vergleichsweise platzsparend ausbilden. Der Mittelpunkt der Spirale ist vorzugsweise konzentrisch zur kreisscheibenförmigen Stirnfläche ausgebildet. Dadurch ist das Verstellelement aus verschiedenen Ausgangspositionen zumindest näherungsweise mit einem gleichen Drehmoment verstellbar. Die kreisscheibenförmige Stirnfläche kann z.B. eine Stirnfläche einer zylindrischen Scheibe sein, deren Mantelfläche vorteilhaft für eine drehbare Lagerung nutzbar ist. Dadurch ist eine zusätzliche Struktur für eine drehbare Lagerung wie z.B. ein Lagerzapfen verzichtbar.The end face with the web-shaped adjusting contour is preferably a circular disk-shaped, flat surface which deviates from a flat design only in the area of the adjusting contour. As a result, the adjustment device can be designed to be comparatively space-saving. The center of the spiral is preferably designed concentrically to the circular disk-shaped end face. As a result, the adjusting element can be adjusted at least approximately with the same torque from different starting positions. The circular disk-shaped end face can, for example, be an end face of a cylindrical disk, the outer surface of which can advantageously be used for a rotatable mounting. This means that an additional structure for a rotatable bearing such as a bearing pin can be dispensed with.

Je nach Stellung des Verstellelements kann die Eingreifstruktur am zweiten Stellarmabschnitt mit einem Verstellkonturabschnitt unterschiedlicher Neigung zusammenwirken. Dementsprechend ist die Eingreifstruktur am zweiten Stellarmabschnitt vorzugsweise ein Zapfen beziehungsweise nockenförmiger bzw. zapfenförmiger Vorsprung mit einem kreis- oder ellipsenförmigen Querschnitt. Dadurch lässt sich bei einem Verstellen vorteilhaft ein Verklemmen der Eingreifstruktur an der spiralförmigen Verstellkontur verringern.Depending on the position of the adjusting element, the engagement structure on the second actuating arm section can interact with an adjusting contour section of different inclination. Accordingly, the engagement structure on the second actuating arm section is preferably a pin or a cam-shaped or pin-shaped projection with a circular or elliptical cross section. As a result, jamming of the engagement structure on the spiral-shaped adjustment contour can advantageously be reduced during an adjustment.

Des Weiteren kann das Verstellelement eine Scheibe umfassen, an der die spiralförmige Verstellkontur an einer Stirnseite als nutförmige Vertiefung ausgebildet ist. Hierfür kann die Eingreifstruktur ebenfalls als Zapfen beziehungsweise noppenförmiger Vorsprung mit kreis- oder ellipsenförmigen Querschnitt ausgebildet sein. Das Verstellelement lässt sich auf diese Weise vergleichsweise stabil und mit einem vergleichsweise geringen Bewegungsspiel für die Eingreifstruktur ausbilden. Des Weiteren kann an der Stirnseite mit der Verstellkontur vorteilhaft eine größere Kontaktfläche zum Fixieren des Verstellelementes bereitgestellt werden.Furthermore, the adjusting element can comprise a disk, on which the spiral adjustment contour is designed as a groove-shaped recess on one end face. For this purpose, the engagement structure can also be designed as a pin or knob-shaped projection with a circular or elliptical cross-section. In this way, the adjusting element can be designed to be comparatively stable and with comparatively little play for the engagement structure. Furthermore, a larger contact surface for fixing the adjusting element can advantageously be provided on the front side with the adjusting contour.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass an einer Stirnseite des Verstellelements, die zur Stirnseite der Verstellkontur entgegengesetzt angeordnet ist, ein Lagerzapfen insbesondere zentral hervorstehend ausgebildet ist. Damit kann das Verstellelement vergleichsweise stabil gelagert sein. Wenn ein Lagerzapfen nur an der Stirnseite ausgebildet ist, die am Verstellelement der Seite mit der Verstellkontur entgegengesetzt liegt, lässt sich vorteilhaft vermeiden, dass die spiralförmige Verstellkontur zugunsten eines Lagerzapfen auf der gleichen Stirnseite verkürzt ist und dadurch ein Verstellbereich des Verstellelements verringert ist. Der Lagerzapfen kann dabei in einer Länge hervorstehend ausgebildet sein, dass der Lagerzapfen in eine Öffnung beziehungsweise Ausnehmung eines Stellarmabschnitts hineinreicht und insbesondere hindurchreicht.A preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that a bearing journal is formed in particular protruding centrally on an end face of the adjusting element which is arranged opposite to the end face of the adjusting contour. The adjusting element can thus be mounted in a comparatively stable manner. If a bearing journal is only formed on the end face that is opposite the side with the adjustment contour on the adjustment element, it can advantageously be avoided that the spiral adjustment contour is shortened in favor of a bearing journal on the same end face and thereby an adjustment range of the adjustment element is reduced. The bearing pin can be designed to protrude to a length such that the bearing pin extends into an opening or recess of an actuating arm section and, in particular, extends through it.

Der Lagerzapfen hat vorzugsweise einen kleineren Durchmesser als die Scheibe, damit ein überstehender Randabschnitt der Stirnseite mit dem Lagerzapfen als Druckfläche zum Beispiel zur Fixierung einer Winkelstellung des Verstellelements zur Verfügung steht. Dabei lässt sich außerdem eine Verstellbarkeit des Verstellelements erleichtern.The bearing pin preferably has a smaller diameter than the disk so that a protruding edge section of the end face with the bearing pin is available as a pressure surface, for example for fixing an angular position of the adjusting element. Adjustability of the adjusting element can also be made easier in this case.

Des Weiteren ist es bevorzugt, dass an einer Stirnseite des Verstellelements, die zur Stirnseite der Verstellkontur entgegengesetzt gelegen ist, und insbesondere am Lagerzapfen ein Eingriff für ein Verstellwerkzeug ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is preferred that an engagement for an adjusting tool is formed on an end face of the adjusting element which is opposite to the end face of the adjusting contour, and in particular on the bearing journal.

Verstelleinrichtung weist dadurch einen vorteilhaft einfachen Aufbau auf.Adjusting device thus has an advantageously simple structure.

Des Weiteren kann an der Stirnseite des Verstellelements, an der die Verstellkontur ausgebildet ist, ein Lagerzapfen zentral aus der Stirnseite hervorstehen. Insbesondere wenn an der Stirnseite der Verstellkontur und an einer am Verstellelement entgegengesetzten Stirnseite jeweils ein Lagerzapfen hervorstehend ausgebildet ist, kann das Verstellelement damit zum Beispiel symmetrisch drehbar gelagert sein, um Verschleiß erhöhende Krafteinwirkungen zu reduzieren.Furthermore, a bearing pin can protrude centrally from the end face on the end face of the adjustment element on which the adjustment contour is formed. In particular if a bearing journal is formed protruding on the end face of the adjustment contour and on an end face opposite the adjustment element, the adjustment element can thus be mounted so that it can rotate symmetrically, for example, in order to reduce wear-increasing forces.

Eine Winkelstellung des Verstellelements ist vorzugsweise mit einer Schraubverbindung der beiden Stellarmabschnitte fixierbar, die vorzugsweise neben dem Verstellelement angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Schraubverbindung dazu vorgesehen, einen Flächenabschnitt eines Elements des Stellarms derart mit dem Verstellelement in reibschlüssigen Kontakt zu bringen, dass das Verstellelement nicht mehr verdrehbar ist. Hierfür können auch mehrere Schraubverbindungen vorhanden sein.An angular position of the adjusting element can preferably be fixed with a screw connection of the two adjusting arm sections, which is preferably arranged next to the adjusting element. The screw connection is preferably provided to bring a surface section of an element of the actuating arm into frictional contact with the adjusting element in such a way that the adjusting element can no longer be rotated. Several screw connections can also be provided for this purpose.

Um eine vergleichsweise einfache stufenlose Verstellung durch die Verstelleinrichtung zu ermöglichen, ist an einem der Stellarmabschnitte eine insbesondere gewindelose Durchstecköffnung der Schraubverbindung als Langloch ausgebildet, das insbesondere in Längsrichtung des zweiten Stellarms erstreckt ist. Dabei ist das Langloch bezüglich einer Verstellrichtung in einer solchen Länge ausgebildet, dass eine Schraube für eine Fixierung der Verstelleinrichtung im Langloch verschiebbar positioniert ist, d.h. nicht im Langloch anschlägt, wenn das Verstellelement in einem Drehsinn entlang der Verstellkontur überdreht wird, d.h. wenn das Verstellelement weiter gedreht wird, als sich die Verstellkontur in Richtung des Drehsinns erstreckt. Dadurch sind Beschädigungen an der Verstellkontur und an der Eingreifstruktur durch Überdrehen des Verstellelements vermeidbar.In order to enable a comparatively simple stepless adjustment by the adjusting device, an in particular threadless push-through opening of the screw connection is formed as an elongated hole on one of the actuating arm sections, which in particular extends in the longitudinal direction of the second actuating arm. The elongated hole is designed with a length such that a screw for fixing the adjusting device in the elongated hole is displaceably positioned, ie does not strike the elongated hole when the adjusting element is overturned in one direction of rotation along the adjusting contour, ie when the adjusting element continues is rotated when the adjustment contour extends in the direction of the direction of rotation. As a result, damage to the adjustment contour and to the engagement structure by over-turning the adjustment element can be avoided.

Damit die Vorrichtung vorteilhaft für verschiedene Ausführungen von Faltklappen einsetzbar ist, ist an einem der Stellarmabschnitte eine Reihe von mehreren Bohrungen für zumindest eine Schraubverbindung des Stellarmabschnitts ausgebildet, die insbesondere mit einem an wenigstens eine Fixierschraube angepassten Innengewinde versehen sind.So that the device can advantageously be used for different designs of folding flaps, a number of several bores for at least one screw connection of the actuating arm section are formed on one of the actuating arm sections, which are in particular provided with an internal thread adapted to at least one fixing screw.

Die benachbarte Bohrungen zum Einschrauben der Fixierschraube sind in einer Längsrichtung des Stellarms vorzugsweise in einem Abstand z.B. eines maximalen Verstellwegs des Verstellelements und insbesondere einem doppelten maximalen Verstellweg angeordnet. Dabei ermöglicht die Anordnung der Bohrungen zum Einschrauben der Fixierschraube eine Grobeinstellung des Stellarms, die mit der Verstelleinrichtung durch Drehen des Verstellelements für eine Feineinstellung abstimmbar ist.The adjacent bores for screwing in the fixing screw are preferably arranged in a longitudinal direction of the actuating arm at a distance, for example a maximum adjustment path of the adjusting element and in particular a double maximum adjustment path. The arrangement of the bores for screwing in the fixing screw enables a coarse adjustment of the actuating arm, which can be coordinated with the adjustment device by turning the adjustment element for a fine adjustment.

Die Verstelleinrichtung kann einen Lagerkörper umfassen, der das Verstellelement senkrecht zur Verstelldrehachse umgibt, wobei der Lagerkörper zur Anordnung zwischen den Stellarmabschnitten vorgesehen ist. Dabei kann der Lagerkörper vorteilhaft zur Fixierung oder auch zur Grobpositionierung des Verstellelements beitragen. Des Weiteren lassen sich dadurch die Verstelleinrichtung und der Stellarm stabiler ausbilden, weil nicht nur das Verstellelement Stützstellen zwischen den beiden Stellarmabschnitten bereitstellt.The adjusting device can comprise a bearing body which surrounds the adjusting element perpendicular to the adjusting axis of rotation, the bearing body being provided for arrangement between the actuating arm sections. The bearing body can advantageously contribute to the fixing or also to the rough positioning of the adjusting element. Furthermore, the adjustment device and the actuating arm can be designed to be more stable because not only the adjusting element provides support points between the two actuating arm sections.

Das Verstellelement kann im Lagerkörper derart gelagert sein, dass das Verstellelement in Richtung der Verstelldrehachse an wenigstens einer Seite des Lagerkörpers über dessen Oberfläche hinausragt. Dadurch lässt sich das Verstellelement, insgesamt mit dessen Stirnseiten vorteilhaft zwischen dem Lagerkörper und zum Beispiel einem der Stellarmabschnitte zur Fixierung festklemmen.The adjusting element can be mounted in the bearing body in such a way that the adjusting element protrudes in the direction of the adjusting axis of rotation on at least one side of the bearing body beyond its surface. As a result, the adjusting element, overall with its end faces, can advantageously be clamped between the bearing body and, for example, one of the actuating arm sections for fixing purposes.

Außerdem ist es bevorzugt, dass die Stellarmabschnitte mit der Verstelleinrichtung entlang einer geraden Längsachse des Stellarms zueinander verstellbar sind. Durch die einfache und überschaubare Wirkung einer Längenänderung ist dabei ein Einstellen eines Stellarms erleichtert.In addition, it is preferred that the adjusting arm sections can be adjusted with respect to one another with the adjusting device along a straight longitudinal axis of the adjusting arm. Due to the simple and manageable effect of a change in length, there is a Adjusting an actuator arm made easier.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an mehreren Ausführungsbeispielen mit Hilfe der Zeichnungen beschrieben.The invention is described below using several exemplary embodiments with the aid of the drawings.

In der Figur 1 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Möbels gezeigt. Dabei ist in der Figur 1 ausschnittsweise ein Möbelfach 2 des Möbels 1 gezeigt an dem eine mehrteilige Möbelklappe 3 mit einer Stellvorrichtung 4 angebracht ist, um die Möbelklappe für ein Öffnen oder Schließen beweglich am Möbelfach 2 anzubringen. Die Möbelklappe 3 ist zweiteilig ausgebildet, und umfasst ein erstes Klappenelement 3a und ein zweites Klappenelement 3b.In the Figure 1 an embodiment of a piece of furniture according to the invention is shown. It is in the Figure 1 Part of a furniture compartment 2 of the furniture 1 is shown on which a multi-part furniture flap 3 with an adjusting device 4 is attached in order to movably attach the furniture flap to the furniture compartment 2 for opening or closing. The furniture flap 3 is designed in two parts and comprises a first flap element 3a and a second flap element 3b.

Die Stellvorrichtung 4 umfasst ein Montageelement 4a sowie einen ersten Stellarm 6a und einen zweiten Stellarm 6b, wobei die beiden Stellarme 6a und 6b schwenkbar am Montageelement 4a gelagert sind. Am Montagelement 4a ist des Weiteren ein Energiespeicher 4b angebracht, der über eine Hebelmechanik Kräfte auf z.B. den Stellarm 6a übertragen kann.The adjusting device 4 comprises a mounting element 4a and a first adjusting arm 6a and a second adjusting arm 6b, the two adjusting arms 6a and 6b being pivotably mounted on the mounting element 4a. Furthermore, an energy store 4b is attached to the mounting element 4a, which via a lever mechanism For example, forces can be transmitted to the actuating arm 6a.

Das Montageelement 4a ist an einer Seitenwand 2c des Möbelfachs 2 nahe einer Möbeldecke 2a befestigt und zum Beispiel angeschraubt.The mounting element 4a is attached to a side wall 2c of the furniture compartment 2 near a furniture ceiling 2a and, for example, screwed on.

Der erste Stellarm 6a ist mit dem oberen Klappenelement 3a fest verbunden, wobei der Stellarm 6a vorzugsweise dazu ausgelegt ist, Gewichtskräfte der beiden Möbelplatten 3a und 3b sowie das Scharnier 5 auf das Montageelement 4a zu übertragen.The first actuating arm 6a is firmly connected to the upper flap element 3a, the actuating arm 6a preferably being designed to transfer weight forces of the two furniture panels 3a and 3b and the hinge 5 to the mounting element 4a.

Der zweite Stellarm 6b ist mit dem zweiten Klappenelement 3b über ein Drehlager 7 beweglich verbunden. Der Stellarm 6b ist dabei vorgesehen, das zweite Klappenelement 3b beim Schließen in eine vorgegebene Schließposition zu führen und dort zu halten. Eine weitere Aufgabe des Stellarms 6b besteht darin, beim Öffnen der Möbelklappe 3 ein unkontrolliertes Schwingen des Klappenelements 3b am Klappenelement 3a zu vermeiden, insbesondere wenn das zweite Klappenelement 3b frei schwenkbar, d.h. ohne eine Einwirkung eines dämpfenden Drehmoments durch das Scharnier 5 mit dem oberen Klappenelement 3a verbunden ist. Der Stellarm 6b ist hierbei derart ausgebildet und insbesondere verstellbar, dass das zweite Klappenelement 3b eine vorgegebene Schließposition wiederholbar erreichen kann und eine Bewegungsführung durch den Stellarm 6b sich gegebenenfalls nachjustieren lässt.The second actuating arm 6b is movably connected to the second flap element 3b via a pivot bearing 7. The actuating arm 6b is provided to guide the second flap element 3b into a predetermined closed position when it is closed and to hold it there. Another task of the actuating arm 6b is to avoid uncontrolled swinging of the flap element 3b on the flap element 3a when the furniture flap 3 is opened, especially when the second flap element 3b is freely pivotable, i.e. without the action of a damping torque by the hinge 5 with the upper flap element 3a is connected. The actuating arm 6b is designed and in particular adjustable in such a way that the second flap element 3b can repeatably reach a predetermined closed position and movement guidance by the actuating arm 6b can be readjusted if necessary.

Der Stellarm 6b des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigt. Der Stellarm 6b ist aus einem ersten Stellarmabschnitt 8b und einem zweiten Stellarmabschnitt 8a zusammengesetzt, wobei durch Verbinden der Stellarmabschnitte 8a und 8b eine Gesamtlänge des Stellarms 6b erreicht wird. Der zweite Stellarmabschnitt 8a weist an einem freistehenden, gebogenen Endbereich eine Bohrung 8c auf, die für eine drehbare Anbringung des Stellarmabschnitts 8a mit einer zylindrischen Federhülse 10 am Drehlager 7 vorgesehen ist. Am ersten Stellarmabschnitt 8b ist eine Bohrung 8d an einem abgewinkelten Endbereich ausgebildet, der für eine schwenkbare Verbindung des Stellarms 6b am Montageelement 4a vorgesehen ist.The actuating arm 6b of the first embodiment of a device according to the invention is in the Figures 2 and 3 shown. The actuating arm 6b is composed of a first actuating arm section 8b and a second actuating arm section 8a, a total length of the actuating arm 6b being achieved by connecting the actuating arm sections 8a and 8b. The second actuating arm section 8 a has a free-standing, curved end region a bore 8 c which is provided for a rotatable attachment of the actuating arm section 8 a with a cylindrical spring sleeve 10 on the pivot bearing 7. On the first actuating arm section 8b is a bore 8d on one formed angled end region, which is provided for a pivotable connection of the actuating arm 6b on the mounting element 4a.

Am ersten Stellarmabschnitt 8b ist eine Aussparung 11 ausgebildet, in die sich ein Endabschnitt des zweiten Stellarmabschnittes 8a, an dem eine Bohrung 9a ausgebildet ist, einlegen lässt. Die Aussparung 11 ist dabei derart an einen Querschnitt des Stellarmabschnitts 8a angepasst, dass sich der Stellarmabschnitt 8a vorzugsweise bündig mit einem Oberflächenbereich 12 des Stellarmabschnitts 8b einlegen lässt und in der Aussparung 11 parallel zu einer Längsachse L des Stellarmabschnitts 8b verschiebbar ist. Dadurch ist der Stellarmabschnitt 8a zumindest teilweise formschlüssig mit dem Stellarmabschnitt 8b verbunden, um Stellkräfte vom Montageelement 4a auf das Klappenelement 3b zu übertragen.A recess 11 is formed on the first actuating arm section 8b, into which an end section of the second actuating arm section 8a, on which a bore 9a is formed, can be inserted. The recess 11 is adapted to a cross section of the actuating arm section 8a in such a way that the actuating arm section 8a can be inserted preferably flush with a surface area 12 of the actuating arm section 8b and is displaceable in the recess 11 parallel to a longitudinal axis L of the actuating arm section 8b. As a result, the actuating arm section 8a is at least partially positively connected to the actuating arm section 8b in order to transfer actuating forces from the mounting element 4a to the flap element 3b.

Zur Befestigung des zweiten Stellarmabschnitts 8a am ersten Stellarmabschnitt 8b ist eine Schraube 13 vorgesehen, die sich von einer in der Ansicht der Figur 3 nicht sichtbaren Seite des Stellarmabschnittes 8b, die am Stellarmabschnitt 8b zum Oberflächenabschnitt 12 entgegengesetzt gelegen ist, durch eine Bohrung 9b in der Form eines Langlochs hindurchstecken und in die Bohrung 9a einschrauben lässt. Neben der Bohrung 9a sind am Stellarmabschnitt 8a entlang einer Längsachse des Stellarmabschnitts 8a eine Reihe von nockenförmigen Vorsprüngen 14 ausgebildet, die beispielsweise durch Einstanzungen an der Seitenfläche 15 an einer der Seitenfläche 15 gegenüberliegenden Seite hervorgedrückt sein können. Die Vorsprünge 14 sind dazu vorgesehen, in ein Verstellelement 16 im Bereich einer spiralförmigen Verstellkontur 17, die stegförmig an einer kreisförmigen Stirnseite des Verstellelements 16 hervorsteht, einzugreifen.To fasten the second actuating arm section 8a to the first actuating arm section 8b, a screw 13 is provided which extends from one in the view of Figure 3 The non-visible side of the actuating arm section 8b, which is located opposite the surface section 12 on the actuating arm section 8b, can be inserted through a bore 9b in the form of an elongated hole and screwed into the bore 9a. In addition to the bore 9a, a row of cam-shaped projections 14 are formed on the actuating arm section 8a along a longitudinal axis of the actuating arm section 8a, which can be pressed out, for example, by punching into the side surface 15 on a side opposite the side surface 15. The projections 14 are provided to engage in an adjusting element 16 in the area of a spiral-shaped adjusting contour 17 which protrudes in the form of a web on a circular end face of the adjusting element 16.

Das Verstellelement 16 mit der spiralförmigen Verstellkontur 17 ist in einer im Wesentlichen kreisförmigen Ausnehmung 18 gelagert, an der die Aussparung 11 am Stellarmabschnitt 8b zusätzlich vertieft ist. Von einem Mittelpunkt der Ausnehmung 18 ausgehend ist in Richtung der Längsachse die Ausnehmung 18 durch eine Ausbuchtung 18a erweitert, um den Vorsprüngen 14 bei einer Verstellung des Verstellelements 16 einen zusätzlichen Bewegungsraum bereitzustellen.The adjustment element 16 with the spiral adjustment contour 17 is mounted in an essentially circular recess 18, in which the recess 11 on the actuating arm section 8b is additionally deepened. Starting from a center point of the recess 18, the recess 18 is in the direction of the longitudinal axis expanded by a bulge 18a in order to provide the projections 14 with an additional movement space when the adjustment element 16 is adjusted.

Wenn die durch die längliche Bohrung 9b hindurchgesteckte Schraube 13 an der Bohrung 9a noch nicht festgezogen ist, liegt der Stellarmabschnitt 9a lose bzw. locker an dem Verstellelement 16 an. Dabei kann die stegförmige Verstellkontur 17 in den Bereich der Aussparung 11 in einer Höhe hineinragen, die sich durch ein Festziehen der Schraube 13 vorzugsweise derart reduzieren lässt, dass der Endabschnitt des Stellarmabschnitts 8a in der Aussparung 11 eingebettet liegt. Bei festgezogener Schraube 13 kann ein dem Verstellelement 16 zugewandter Oberflächenabschnitt des Stellarmabschnitts 8a, an dem die nockenförmigen Vorsprünge 14 ausgebildet sind, das Verstellelement 16 an der Verstellkontur 17 durch Reibungskraftschluss festsetzen. Dabei liegen die nockenförmigen Vorsprünge 14 seitlich an der stegförmigen Verstellkontur 17 an, wodurch sie in Richtung der Längsachse an der stegförmigen Verstellkontur 17 abgestützt sein können.If the screw 13 inserted through the elongated bore 9b has not yet been tightened on the bore 9a, the actuating arm section 9a rests loosely or loosely on the adjusting element 16. The web-shaped adjusting contour 17 can protrude into the area of the recess 11 at a height that can be reduced by tightening the screw 13, preferably such that the end section of the actuating arm section 8a is embedded in the recess 11. When the screw 13 is tightened, a surface section of the actuating arm section 8a facing the adjusting element 16, on which the cam-shaped projections 14 are formed, can fix the adjusting element 16 to the adjusting contour 17 by frictional engagement. The cam-shaped projections 14 rest laterally on the web-shaped adjusting contour 17, so that they can be supported on the web-shaped adjusting contour 17 in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

Bei gelöster Schraube 13 lässt sich das Verstellelements 16 innerhalb der Ausnehmung 18 um den Mittelpunkt 16a des Verstellelements 16 verdrehen und dadurch ein Bereich der stegförmigen Verstellkontur 17 für eine Abstützung der nockenförmigen Vorsprünge 14 einstellen. Dadurch ist stufenlos eine von mehreren verschiedenen Positionen des Stellarmabschnitts 8a gegenüber dem Stellarmabschnitt 8b entlang der Längsachse L wählbar, die sich durch ein Festziehen der Schraube 13 fixieren lässt.When the screw 13 is loosened, the adjusting element 16 can be rotated within the recess 18 around the center point 16a of the adjusting element 16 and thereby a region of the web-shaped adjusting contour 17 can be adjusted to support the cam-shaped projections 14. As a result, one of several different positions of the actuating arm section 8 a relative to the actuating arm section 8 b along the longitudinal axis L can be selected continuously, which can be fixed by tightening the screw 13.

Für ein Verstellen des Verstellelements 16 ist an der Ausnehmung 18 eine kreisförmig durchbrochene Öffnung 19 ausgebildet, durch die das Verstellelement 16 in einem zusammengesetzten Zustand des Stellarms 6b von außen erreichbar ist. Dabei kann an einer in den Figuren 2 und 3 nicht sichtbaren Stelle des Verstellelements 16 beispielsweise ein schlitzförmiger Eingriff ausgebildet sein, mit dem das Verstellelement 16 mit Hilfe eines Schraubendrehers verstellbar ist.For adjusting the adjusting element 16, a circular perforated opening 19 is formed on the recess 18, through which the adjusting element 16 can be reached from the outside in an assembled state of the actuating arm 6b. One in the Figures 2 and 3 Not visible point of the adjusting element 16, for example, a slot-shaped engagement can be formed with which the adjusting element 16 with the aid of a screwdriver is adjustable.

Die Verbindung der Stellarmabschnitte 8a und 8b in der Aussparung 11 des ersten Stellarmabschnitts 8b bietet den Vorteil, dass dadurch Biegekräfte am Stellarm 6b vom Stellelement 16 und der Schraube 13 ferngehalten sind. Dadurch lässt sich vorteilhaft vermeiden, dass das Stellelement 16 und die Schraube 13 durch z.B. Scherkräfte beschädigt werden.The connection of the actuating arm sections 8a and 8b in the recess 11 of the first actuating arm section 8b offers the advantage that bending forces on the actuating arm 6b are kept away from the actuating element 16 and the screw 13. This advantageously prevents the adjusting element 16 and the screw 13 from being damaged by, for example, shear forces.

Ein Stellarm 6b eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels einer erfindungsgemäßen Stellvorrichtung 4 ist in den Figuren 4, 5 und 6 gezeigt.An actuating arm 6b of a second exemplary embodiment of an actuating device 4 according to the invention is shown in FIG Figures 4, 5 and 6th shown.

Der Stellarm 6b weist einen ersten Stellarmabschnitt 8b und einen separaten zweiten Stellarmabschnitt 8a auf. Am Stellarmabschnitt 8b ist eine Aussparung 11 ausgebildet, die an einen z.B. rechteckigen Querschnitt eines geraden Endabschnitts des Stellarmabschnitts 8a angepasst ist, um den Stellarmabschnitt 8a zumindest teilweise formschlüssig mit dem Stellarmabschnitt 8b zu verbinden. Durch die formschlüssig an den Stellarmabschnitt 8a angepasste Aussparung 11 sind Biegebelastung an der Verbindung der Stellarmabschnitte 8a und 8b entlang einer Längsachse L übertragbar, wodurch eine erhöhte Stabilität des Stellarms 6b erreichbar ist.The actuating arm 6b has a first actuating arm section 8b and a separate second actuating arm section 8a. A recess 11 is formed on the actuating arm section 8b, which is adapted to a e.g. rectangular cross section of a straight end section of the actuating arm section 8a in order to connect the actuating arm section 8a to the actuating arm section 8b at least partially in a form-fitting manner. Bending loads at the connection of the actuating arm sections 8a and 8b can be transmitted along a longitudinal axis L through the recess 11, which is adapted to the actuating arm section 8a in a form-fitting manner, whereby an increased stability of the actuating arm 6b can be achieved.

Am Stellarmabschnitt 8b sind im Bereich der Aussparung 11 eine Vielzahl von Bohrungen 9b ausgebildet, wobei vorzugsweise jede Bohrung mit einem Innengewinde versehen ist, in das eine Fixierschraube 13 einschraubbar ist. Die Fixierschraube 16 weist eine solche Länge auf, dass sich die Fixierschraube 13 in einer der Bohrungen 9b am Stellarmabschnitt 8b festziehen lässt, wenn die Fixierschraube 13 durch eine Bohrung 9c einer Klemmplatte 20 sowie durch eine Bohrung 9a am geraden Endabschnitt des Stellarmabschnitts 8a durchgesteckt ist.A plurality of bores 9b are formed on the actuating arm section 8b in the region of the recess 11, each bore preferably being provided with an internal thread into which a fixing screw 13 can be screwed. The fixing screw 16 has a length such that the fixing screw 13 can be tightened in one of the bores 9b on the actuating arm section 8b when the fixing screw 13 is pushed through a bore 9c of a clamping plate 20 and through a bore 9a on the straight end section of the actuating arm section 8a.

Die Klemmplatte 20 ist des Weiteren für eine Aufnahme des Verstellelements 16 ausgebildet, das mit einem zylindrischen Vorsprung 16b durch eine Öffnung 19 der Klemmplatte 20 hindurch reicht. Der zylindrische Vorsprung 16b und die Öffnung 19 für eine ortsfeste, drehbare Lagerung des Verstellelements 16 zwischen der Klemmplatte 20 und dem Stellarmabschnitt 8a ausgebildet, wenn die Klemmplatte 20 mit der Fixierschraube 13 am Stellarmabschnitt 8b locker verbunden ist. Durch ein Festziehen der Fixierschraube 13 ist das Verstellelement 16 zwischen der Klemmplatte 20 und dem Stellarmabschnitt 8a eingespannt und reibschlüssig gegen Veränderungen einer Stellung, insbesondere einer Drehstellung festgesetzt. An einer dem Stellarmabschnitt 8a zugewandten Seite weist das Stellelement 16 eine spiralförmige Verstellkontur 17 auf, die beispielsweise wie die in Figur 3 gezeigte stegförmig ausgeführt sein kann.The clamping plate 20 is also designed to receive the adjusting element 16, which extends with a cylindrical projection 16b through an opening 19 of the clamping plate 20. The cylindrical projection 16b and the Opening 19 for a stationary, rotatable mounting of the adjusting element 16 is formed between the clamping plate 20 and the actuating arm section 8 a when the clamping plate 20 is loosely connected to the fixing screw 13 on the actuating arm section 8 b. By tightening the fixing screw 13, the adjusting element 16 is clamped between the clamping plate 20 and the actuating arm section 8a and is frictionally locked against changes in a position, in particular a rotational position. On a side facing the actuating arm section 8a, the actuating element 16 has a spiral-shaped adjusting contour 17 which, for example, like that in FIG Figure 3 shown can be designed web-shaped.

Entlang einer Längsachse L' sind am Stellarmabschnitt 8a nockenförmige Vorspünge 14 als Eingreifstruktur neben der Bohrung 9a ausgebildet. Die nockenförmigen Vorsprünge sind zum Eingriff in die Verstellkontur 17 des Verstellelements 16 vorgesehen, wenn der Stellarm 6b wie z.B. in Figur 6 gezeigt zusammengesetzt ist. Damit der Stellarmabschnitt 8a mit Hilfe der Vorsprünge 14 und dem Verstellelement 16 gegenüber dem Stellarmabschnitt 8b verstellbar ist, ist die Bohrung 9a zumindest in Richtung der Längsachse L' mit einem Durchmesser ausgebildet, der einen Durchmesser der Fixierschraube 13 und vorzugsweise einen Stellweg umfasst, um den die Vorsprünge 14 beim Eingriff mit dem Verstellelement 16 versetzbar sind.Cam-shaped projections 14 are formed as an engagement structure next to the bore 9a on the actuating arm section 8a along a longitudinal axis L '. The cam-shaped projections are provided for engagement in the adjustment contour 17 of the adjustment element 16 when the actuating arm 6b, as for example in FIG Figure 6 shown is composed. So that the actuating arm section 8a can be adjusted with the aid of the projections 14 and the adjusting element 16 with respect to the actuating arm section 8b, the bore 9a is formed at least in the direction of the longitudinal axis L 'with a diameter that comprises a diameter of the fixing screw 13 and preferably an adjustment path around which the projections 14 can be displaced upon engagement with the adjusting element 16.
