Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein verstellbares Scharnier nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruches.The invention relates to an adjustable hinge according to the preamble of independent claim.

Derartige verstellbare Scharniere dienen zur Verbindung zweier Möbelteile miteinander, wobei das verstellbare Scharnier mit einem Möbelband an dem einen Möbelteil (z. B. Türe) und mit einer Basisplatte an dem anderen Möbelteil (z. B. Korpus) befestigt ist. Zwischen Möbelband und Basisplatte befinden sich zum einen eine Federmechanik für das Ein- und Ausklappen des an dem Möbelband befestigten Möbelteils. Zum anderen ist auf der anderen Seite der Federmechanik ein Scharnierarm befestigt, welcher über eine Stellplatte mit der Grundplatte verbunden ist, welche Grundplatte nun mit dem zweiten Möbelteil verbunden ist.Such adjustable hinges are used to connect two furniture parts with each other, with the adjustable hinge with a furniture hinge on one Furniture part (eg door) and with a base plate on the other furniture part (eg. Body) is attached. Between furniture hinge and base plate are on the one hand a spring mechanism for folding and unfolding the on the furniture band fixed furniture part. On the other hand is on the other side of the spring mechanism attached a hinge arm, which via a parking plate with the base plate is connected, which base plate is now connected to the second furniture part.

Das Zwischenstück ist zum einen über eine Arretierschraube mit dem Scharnierarm lösbar verbunden und zum anderen über eine sogenannte Seitenverstellschraube, mit welcher der Abstand zwischen dem Scharnierarm und dem Zwischenstück eingestellt werden kann. Zusammen mit dem Verstellen dieses Abstandes zwischen dem Scharnierarm und dem Zwischenstück geht dann das seitliche Verschieben des Möbelbandes etwa senkrecht zum restlichen Scharnier einher, und damit wird das erste Möbelteil (z. B. Türe) etwa senkrecht zum zweiten Möbelteil (z. B. Korpus) bewegt. Somit kann die Türe dann in der Breite des Schrankes derart seitlich bewegt werden, daß die vertikalen Seitenwände des Schrankes dann mit der Türe fluchten.The intermediate piece is on the one hand via a locking screw with the hinge arm releasably connected and on the other hand via a so-called side adjustment screw, with which the distance between the hinge arm and the intermediate piece can be adjusted. Along with adjusting this distance between the hinge arm and the intermediate piece then goes the lateral displacement of the Furniture hinge approximately perpendicular to the rest of the hinge, and that is the first furniture part (eg door) approximately perpendicular to the second furniture part (eg carcass) emotional. Thus, the door can then be moved laterally in the width of the cabinet be that the vertical side walls of the cabinet then aligned with the door.

Die DE 2660736 C2 zeigt ein verstellbares Scharnier gemäß der oben erwähnten Gattung mit Zwischenstück, in welchem eine Arretierschraube und eine Verstellschraube eingeschraubt sind. Die Arretierschraube durchgreift nun den Scharnierarm und wird zur Festlegung bis auf die Basisplatte heruntergeschraubt. Die Verstellschraube ist mit ihrer ringförmigen Nut unterhalb des Schraubenkopfes in ein in sich geschlossenes Langloch in dem Scharnierarm eingebracht und kann somit durch Drehen das Zwischenstück etwa in Richtung der Schraubensymmetrielinie relativ zum Scharnierarm bewegen. Das Zwischenstück greift hierbei mit Schenkeln in horizontale Nuten der Basisplatte ein.DE 2660736 C2 shows an adjustable hinge according to the above-mentioned Genus with intermediate piece, in which a locking screw and a Adjusting screw are screwed. The locking screw now passes through the Hinge arm and is screwed down down to the base plate. The adjusting screw is with its annular groove below the screw head in a self-contained slot inserted in the hinge arm and can thus turning the intermediate piece approximately in the direction of Screw symmetry line relative to Move hinge arm. The intermediate piece engages with legs in horizontal grooves of the base plate.

Nachteil dieser Ausführungsform ist, daß zwischen der ringförmigen Nut der Verstellschraube und dem Scharnierarm und zwischen dem Zwischenstück und den Nuten der Basisplatte ein relativ großes Spiel herrscht und dadurch eine exakte Verstellung nicht möglich ist. Dadurch, daß die Verstellschraube einen großen Schraubenkopf besitzt, ist eine relativ große Bauhöhe gegeben. Außerdem ist die Montage kompliziert, da die Verstellschraube zunächst in die dafür vorgesehene Bohrung im Scharnierarm eingebracht werden muß, danach ein Stück in das Gewinde im Zwischenstück eingeschraubt und danach in den Langlochteil des Scharnierarms verschoben werden muß. Zudem ist eine geringe Robustheit dieser Verbindung gegeben, da die Verstellschraube lediglich in einem unverstärkten Langloch der zusätzlichen Bohrung größeren Durchmessers im Scharnierarm aufliegt, welcher Scharnierarm sich unter Krafteinwirkung elastisch oder plastisch verformen kann. Die zusätzlicher Bohrung größeren Durchmessers im Langloch hat einen größeren Durchmesser als der Kopf der Verstellschraube. Hierdurch wird wiederum eine exakte Verstellung nicht ermöglicht. Auch ist die Festigkeit durch die Querschnittsverringerung der Verstellschraube durch das Vorsehen der ringförmigen Nut verringert.Disadvantage of this embodiment is that between the annular groove of the Adjusting screw and the hinge arm and between the intermediate piece and the Grooves of the base plate a relatively large game prevails and thus an exact Adjustment is not possible. Due to the fact that the adjusting screw has a large Has screw head, a relatively large height is given. In addition, the Assembly complicated, since the adjusting screw first in the designated Bore in the hinge arm must be introduced, then a piece in the Screwed thread in the spacer and then in the slot part of the Hinge arm must be moved. In addition, a low robustness of this Connection given because the adjusting screw only in an unreinforced Long hole of the additional larger diameter hole in the hinge arm rests, which hinge arm under the action of elastic or plastic can deform. The additional hole larger diameter in the slot has a larger diameter than the head of the adjusting screw. This will turn a exact adjustment not possible. Also, the strength is due to the Cross-section reduction of the adjusting screw by providing the annular Groove reduced.

Die US 5,159,740 zeigt ebenfalls ein verstellbares Scharnier mir Arretierschraube und Verstellschraube gemäß der oben erwähnten allgemeinen Gattung. Die Arretierschraube ist hierbei wie bei der DE 26 60 736 C2 vorgesehen, jedoch zeigt die Verstellschraube die funktionelle Umkehrung. Das Langloch ist nun nicht mehr im Scharnierarm vorgesehen, sondern in dem Zwischenstück, in welches Langloch die untere ringförmige Nut der Verstellschraube eingreift, wobei die Verstellschraube in ein Gewinde im Scharnierarm eingeschraubt ist. Das Langloch ist zum Rand des Zwischenstückes offen ausgebildet. Das Zwischenstück ist über Lappen und speziell geformter Blattfeder auf der Basisplatte befestigt.The US 5,159,740 also shows an adjustable hinge with locking screw and adjusting screw according to the general category mentioned above. The Locking screw is provided here as in DE 26 60 736 C2, but shows the adjusting screw the functional inversion. The slot is no longer in the Hinge arm provided, but in the intermediate piece, in which slot the engages lower annular groove of the adjusting screw, wherein the adjusting screw in a thread is screwed into the hinge arm. The slot is to the edge of the Intermediate piece formed open. The intermediate piece is over rag and special shaped leaf spring attached to the base plate.

Nachteil hierbei ist wiederum, daß ein großes Spiel zwischen der ringförmigen Nut der Verstellschraube und Zwischenstück herrscht sowie zwischen dem Zwischenstück und der Basisplatte. Eine relativ geringe Robustheit herrscht durch das nicht zusätzlich verstärkte und zudem nach einer Seite hin offene Langloch. Auch hier ist durch die Querschnittsverringerung der Verstellschraube durch die ringförmige Nut die Festigkeit reduziert. Zudem sind lediglich geringe Verstellwege deshalb nur möglich, da durch das Verkippen der Verstellschraube in dem Langloch dann eine weitere Verstellung zwischen dem Scharnierarm und dem Zwischenstück nicht mehr möglich ist, da die Verstellschraube sich dort verkeilt.Disadvantage here is again that a big game between the annular groove the adjusting screw and intermediate piece prevails and between the Intermediate piece and the base plate. A relatively low robustness prevails the not additionally reinforced and also to one side open slot. Again, by the cross-sectional reduction of the adjusting screw by the annular groove reduces the strength. In addition, only small adjustment paths therefore only possible because of the tilting of the adjusting screw in the slot then another adjustment between the hinge arm and the intermediate piece is no longer possible because the adjusting screw wedged there.

Die WO 97/22773 zeigt eine ähnliche Ausführungsform wie die US 5,159,740 mit den gleichen Nachteilen. Hier ist jedoch eine Verstellung auch etwa in Längsachse von Zwischenstück und Scharnierarm über eine komplizierte Mechanik mit Spiralschraube, Zahnstange und Kipphebel möglich. Durch die Vielzahl dieser Bauteile entsteht noch ein zusätzliches Spiel, was sich wiederum nachteilig auf die exakte Einstellbarkeit und die Robustheit auswirkt. Das Langloch ist hier wiederum randseitig offen ausgebildet.WO 97/22773 shows a similar embodiment as the US 5,159,740 with the same disadvantages. Here, however, is an adjustment also approximately in the longitudinal axis from intermediate piece and hinge arm to a complicated mechanism with Spiral screw, rack and rocker arm possible. Due to the multitude of these Components creates an additional game, which in turn is disadvantageous to the exact adjustability and robustness. The slot is here again open at the edge.

Die US 4,176,422 (oder auch DE-2819100) offenbart ein sehr ähnliches Möbelscharnier wie die WO 97/22773, jedoch ohne weitere Verstellung in Längsachse von Zwischenstück und Scharnierarm. Hier ist die Verstellschraube für das Einstellen des gegenseitigen Abstandes zwischen Scharnierplatte und Grundplatte wiederum als Gewindestift ausgebildet mit einem ringförmigen radialen Einstich geringeren Durchmessers zwischen dem Gewindeteil und dem Teller der Verstellschraube. Dieser radiale Einstich der Verstellschraube greift wiederum in ein randseitig offenes Langloch ein, in welches die Verstellschraube vom Rand her eingefädelt werden muss.US 4,176,422 (or also DE-2819100) discloses a very similar Furniture hinge as the WO 97/22773, but without further adjustment in Longitudinal axis of intermediate piece and hinge arm. Here is the adjusting screw for adjusting the mutual distance between the hinge plate and Base plate in turn formed as a threaded pin with an annular radial Puncture of smaller diameter between the threaded part and the plate of the Adjusting screw. This radial recess of the adjusting screw again engages in a at the edge open slot, in which the adjusting screw from the edge must be threaded.

Die EP-0821125A1 offenbart bereits schon ein Möbelscharnier mit einem in sich geschlossenen Langloch einer Unterplatte zwischen Grundplatte und Scharnierarm, jedoch ist dieses Langloch nicht für eine Verstellschraube zum Einstellen des Abstandes zwischen Grundplatte und Scharnierarm vorgesehen, sondern für eine Feststellschraube. Das Langloch weist eine zusätzliche Bohrung größeren Durchmessers als das Langloch auf.EP-0821125A1 already discloses a furniture hinge with a in itself closed slot of a lower plate between the base plate and the hinge arm, However, this slot is not for an adjusting screw for adjusting the Distance between base plate and hinge arm provided, but for a Locking screw. The slot has an additional hole larger Diameter than the slot on.

Die Teller der Verstellschrauben des Standes der Technik weisen alle den gleichen oder einen kleineren Außendurchmesser auf, als der Gewindebereich der Verstellschrauben und weiterhin einen radialen Einstich geringeren Durchmessers zwischen Teller und Gewinde. Die Verstellschrauben werden entweder in ein randseitig offenes Langloch randseitig eingefädelt oder aber durch eine zusätzliche Bohrung im in sich geschlossenen Langloch, welche zusätzliche Bohrung einen größeren Durchmesser aufweist, als der Durchmesser des Tellers und/oder des Gewindes der Verstelischraube.The plates of the adjusting screws of the prior art all have the same or a smaller outer diameter than the threaded portion of Adjusting screws and further a radial puncture smaller diameter between plate and thread. The adjusting screws are either in a On the edge open slot is threaded on the edge or by an additional Bore in self-contained slot, which additional hole a larger diameter than the diameter of the plate and / or the Thread of the adjusting screw.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, ein verstellbares Scharnier der oben genannten Art zur Verstellung des Abstandes zwischen Scharnierarm und Basisplatte bzw. Zwischenstück und damit zwischen zwei (Möbel-) Bauteilen derart weiterzubilden, daß die Einstellung dieses seitlichen Abstandes einfach, exakt, reproduzierbar und ohne Beschädigung des Scharniers durchgeführt werden kann, bei gleichzeitig einfacher, leichter und kostengünstiger Bauweise des Scharniers.The object of the invention is now, an adjustable hinge of the above Type of adjustment of the distance between hinge arm and base plate or Intermediate piece and thus between two (furniture) components in such a way, that setting of this lateral distance simple, accurate, reproducible and without damage to the hinge can be performed at the same time simple, easy and inexpensive construction of the hinge.

Als Lösung der zuvor erwähnten Aufgabe dient die technische Lehre des unabhängigen Anspruches 1.
Wesentliches Merkmal hierbei ist, daß der Teller der Verstellschraube einen größeren Durchmesser als das Gewinde der Verstellschraube hat und daß das Langloch als Durchbruch durch die Stellplatte in sich geschlossen ausgebildet ist. Voraussetzung ist dabei, dass die Verstellschraube einen Gewindestift darstellt, welcher an dem einen Ende eine Vorrichtung für die lösbare Kopplung mit einem Werkzeug und an dem anderen Ende einen Teller besitzt, wobei die unterseitige Oberfläche des Tellers beim Einbau in das verstellbare Scharnier auf der Grundplatte aufliegt und auf der oberseitigen Oberfläche des Tellers der Rand des Langloches der Stellplatte.
As a solution to the aforementioned object, the technical teaching of independent claim 1 is used.
An essential feature here is that the plate of the adjusting screw has a larger diameter than the thread of the adjusting screw and that the slot is formed as a breakthrough by the control plate in itself. The prerequisite is that the adjusting screw is a threaded pin having at one end a device for releasable coupling with a tool and at the other end a plate, wherein the underside surface of the plate rests on installation in the adjustable hinge on the base plate and on the top surface of the plate the edge of the oblong hole of the adjusting plate.

Vorteil hierbei ist, daß praktisch kein Spiel zwischen Scharnierarm und Stellplatte und lediglich ein geringes Spiel zwischen Stellplatte und Grundplatte herrscht, wodurch die Einstellung einfach, exakt und reproduzierbar wird.The advantage here is that virtually no play between the hinge arm and the setting plate and there is only a slight clearance between the setting plate and the base plate, making the setting easy, accurate and reproducible.

Auch ist hierbei eine leichte Montage/Demontage der Verstellschraube gewährleistet, da kein Einfädeln einer ringförmigen Nut der Verstellschraube in das Langloch, etwa über zusätzliche Bohrungen im Scharnierarm, nötig sind.This also ensures easy assembly / disassembly of the adjusting screw, because no threading an annular groove of the adjusting screw in the slot, about over additional holes in the hinge arm, are needed.

Weiterer Vorteil ist eine einfache, leichte und kostengünstige Bauweise des Scharniers bei gleichzeitig hoher mechanischer Stabilität, so dass eine Beschädigung des Scharniers während des Verstellvorganges wesentlich vermindert wird.Another advantage is a simple, lightweight and inexpensive construction of the Hinge while maintaining high mechanical stability, so that a Damage to the hinge during the adjustment significantly reduced becomes.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, daß die unterseitige Oberfläche und/oder oberseitige Oberfläche des Tellers sphärisch oder kegelig ausgebildet sind.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the spherical or underside surface and / or top surface of the dish are formed conically.

Dies bietet den Vorteil, daß, unabhängig vom Verstellweg, die Auflagefläche zwischen dem Teller der Verstellschraube und der Stellplatte immer etwa konstant groß ist und damit die Dauerhaltbarkeit erhöht wird und zudem ein exaktes, einfaches und reproduzierbares Einstellen gewährleistet wird.This offers the advantage that, regardless of the adjustment, the bearing surface between the plate of the adjusting screw and the adjusting plate always approximately constant is large and thus the durability is increased and also an exact, easy and reproducible adjustment is ensured.

Es wird weiterhin bevorzugt, wenn im Bereich der Auflage des Tellers auf der Grundplatte diese Auflagefläche ebenfalls sphärisch oder kegelig, passend zur Tellerform, ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch wird die Auflagefläche vergrößert und der Teller auf der Grundplatte stabilisiert.It is further preferred if in the area of the support of the plate on the Base plate this bearing surface also spherical or conical, suitable for Plate shape, is formed. As a result, the support surface is increased and the Plate stabilized on the base plate.

Vorteil hierbei ist, daß das Spiel über den gesamten Verstellweg nahezu konstant ist, was wiederum zu einem einfachen, exakten und reproduzierbaren Einstellvorgang führt. Auch ein Verkippen und damit Verkeilen der Verstellschraube in dem Langloch ist dadurch ausgeschlossen, da die ringförmige Nut wie beim Stand der Technik völlig fehlt, und daher können große Verstellwege durchfahren werden. The advantage here is that the game over the entire adjustment is almost constant, which in turn leads to a simple, exact and reproducible adjustment process leads. Also, a tilting and thus wedging the adjusting screw in the slot is excluded because the annular groove as in the prior art completely missing, and therefore large adjustment paths can be passed.

Das Langloch ist dabei in der Stellplatte immer geschlossen ausgebildet, also als in sich geschlossener Durchbruch durch das Material der Stellplatte und nicht als offene Ausklinkung, welche zum Rand der Stellplatte hin offen verläuft. Dies bringt zusätzliche Vorteile hinsichtlich der Festigkeit der Stellplatte und damit des gesamten Scharniers. Die Stellplatte mit geschlossenem Langloch ist nur aufgrund der neu entwickelten Verstellschraube möglich, da diese keinen radialen Einstich mehr besitzt, mittels dem sie in einer offene Ausklinkung in der Stellplatte eingefädelt und festgehalten wird, sondern diese Verstellschraube kann nun einfach von unten her in das geschlossene Langloch eingeführt werden und in den Scharnierarm eingeschraubt werden und liegt dann auf der Basisplatte mit seinem Teller auf.The slot is always formed closed in the control plate, ie as in closed breakthrough through the material of the actuator plate and not as open notch, which runs open towards the edge of the shelf. This brings additional advantages in terms of the strength of the actuator plate and thus the entire hinge. The control plate with closed slot is only due the newly developed adjusting screw possible, since this no radial puncture has more, by means of which they threaded in an open notch in the shelf and is held, but this adjustment screw can now easily from below be introduced into the closed slot and in the hinge arm be screwed on and then lies on the base plate with his plate.

Zusätzlich können am Rand des Langloches in der Stellplatte Formprägungen, Riffel und/oder Verbiegungen in Richtung Teller als zusätzliche Versteifung des Langlochrandes vorgesehen sein.In addition, on the edge of the oblong hole in the control plate form embossing, ripples and / or deflections in the direction of plate as additional stiffening of the Langlochrandes be provided.

Hierdurch kann erreicht werden, daß die Konstruktion kostengünstig und mit nur geringem Gewicht ausgeführt wird, da nur geringe Blechstärken dann für eine genügende Festigkeit genügen.This can be achieved that the construction cost and with only Low weight is carried out because only small plate thicknesses then for a sufficient strength suffice.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellende Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus den Zeichnungen und ihrer Beschreibung weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung hervor. In the following the invention is based on only one embodiment explaining illustrative drawings. Here are the drawings and its description further features and advantages of the invention.

In Figur 1 ist eine perspektivische Darstellung einer Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen verstellbaren Scharnieres im montierten Zustand dargestellt, wobei die Türe 15 mit dem Korpus 9 über das verstellbare Scharnier verbunden ist.FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a device according to the invention adjustable hinge shown in the assembled state, with the door 15 with the body 9 is connected via the adjustable hinge.

Hierbei ist das Möbelband 2 des verstellbaren Scharnieres über entsprechende Befestigungselemente an der Türe 15 angebracht und die Grundplatte 8 über ebenfalls entsprechende Verbindungselemente in der Platte 16 mit dem Korpus 9 verbunden, wobei die Platte 16 mit der Basisplatte 8 bevorzugt einstückig verbunden ist. Here is the furniture band 2 of the adjustable hinge on appropriate Attached fasteners on the door 15 and the base plate 8 via also corresponding connecting elements in the plate 16 with the body. 9 connected, wherein the plate 16 is preferably integrally connected to the base plate 8 is.

An dem Möbelband 2 ist nun eine Feder-Klappmechanik 20 angebracht, welche das Aufklappen der Türe 15 um ca. 90° in bezug auf den Korpus 9 ermöglichen soll. Diese Feder-Klappmechanik 20 besteht hierbei aus zwei winkligen Armen, welche über jeweils zwei Achsen jeweils am Möbelband 2 angebracht sind und über zwei weitere Achsen an dem Scharnierarm 14. Die Federbelastung geschieht hierbei dadurch, daß um eine der Achsen herum, bevorzugt eine der Achsen am Scharnierarm 14, nun eine Schenkel-Drehfeder angebracht ist, welche sich zum einen an einem der winkligen Arme abstützt und zum anderen an dem Scharnierarm 14.On the furniture band 2, a spring-folding mechanism 20 is now attached, which is the To open the door 15 to allow about 90 ° with respect to the body 9. This spring-folding mechanism 20 here consists of two angular arms, which are each mounted on the furniture band 2 via two axes and over two more axes on the hinge arm 14. The spring load happens here in that around one of the axes around, preferably one of the axes on Hinge arm 14, now a leg torsion spring is attached, which is to one on one of the angled arms and the other on the hinge arm 14th

Der Scharnierarm 14 selbst ist nun über eine Arretierschraube 17 mit der Stellplatte 11 verbunden, wobei diese Arretierschraube 17 über ein entsprechendes Langloch in Form eines geschlossenen Durchbruches durch den Scharnierarm 14 hindurchgeführt ist und in eine entsprechende Gewindebohrung in der Stellplatte 11 eingeschraubt ist. Durch diese Arretierschraube kann zum einen eine relative Verstellung des Scharnierarmes 14 zur Stellplatte 11 in Längsrichtung erfolgen und zum anderen können diese beiden Teile miteinander fest verschraubt werden. Zur besseren Halterung dieser beider Teile untereinander ist es vorgesehen, daß der Scharnierarm 14 an seiner der Stellplatte 11 zugewandten Seite eine entsprechende Riffelung aufweist, welche dann in eine dazupassende Riffelung auf der Oberseite der Stellplatte 11 verzahnend eingreift.The hinge arm 14 itself is now a locking screw 17 with the control plate 11 connected, this locking screw 17 via a corresponding slot in the form of a closed opening through the hinge arm 14 passed through and into a corresponding threaded hole in the adjusting plate 11th is screwed. By this locking screw can on the one hand a relative Adjustment of the hinge arm 14 to the adjusting plate 11 in the longitudinal direction and On the other hand, these two parts can be firmly bolted together. to better support these two parts with each other, it is provided that the Hinge arm 14 at its the actuating plate 11 side facing a corresponding Corrugation has, which then in a matching ribbing on the top the adjusting plate 11 interlocking engages.

Die Stellplatte 11 ist U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei an den U-Schenkeln im 90°-Winkel dazu noch weitere Ansätze angebracht sind und die Stellplatte 11 etwa in Richtung der Symmetrieachse der Arretierschraube 17 federnd ausgebildet ist und mit nasenförmigen Haken versehen ist, so daß diese Stellplatte 11 auf einfache und an sich bekannte Art und Weise auf die Basisplatte 8 lösbar aufgeklipst werden kann. Hierzu wird kein Werkzeug benötigt, so daß eine Montage sehr schnell und leicht erfolgen kann. The adjusting plate 11 is U-shaped, wherein at the U-legs in the 90 ° angle In addition, further approaches are appropriate and the control plate 11 approximately in the direction the symmetry axis of the locking screw 17 is resilient and with nose-shaped hook is provided so that this adjusting plate 11 on simple and on Known manner can be releasably clipped onto the base plate 8. For this purpose, no tool is needed, so that a very fast and easy assembly can be done.

Die Basisplatte 8 selbst ist dann über entsprechende Verbindungselemente mit dem Korpus 9 verbunden, wobei eine zusätzliche Platte 16 an der Basisplatte 8 vorgesehen sein kann, durch welche die Verbindungselemente hindurchtreten.The base plate 8 itself is then via corresponding connecting elements with the Carcass 9 connected, with an additional plate 16 on the base plate. 8 may be provided, through which the connecting elements pass.

In Figur 2 ist nun eine vergrößerte Darstellung des Bereiches der Verstellschraube 1, gemäß Figur 1, dargestellt.FIG. 2 now shows an enlarged view of the region of the adjusting screw 1, according to FIG. 1.

Hier ist zu sehen, daß das Langloch 10 als geschlossener Durchbruch durch die Stellplatte 11 ausgebildet ist und in seinem randseitigen Bereich nach unten hin verformt ist und somit Kontaktflächen 12 geschaffen werden, welche auf der Oberseite 6 des Tellers 5 der Verstellschraube 1 geeignet aufliegen.Here it can be seen that the slot 10 as a closed breakthrough by the Stellplatte 11 is formed and in its peripheral region downwards is deformed and thus contact surfaces 12 are created, which on the Top 6 of the plate 5 of the adjusting screw 1 suitably rest.

Hierbei ist es möglich, daß beide Längsseiten des Langloches 10 der Stellplatte 11 mit den Kontaktflächen 12a und 12b auf der Oberseite 6 des Tellers 5 der Verstellschraube 1 aufliegen oder aber lediglich eine Seite mit der Kontaktfläche 12a oder 12b, je nach Toleranzlage von Rundlauf und Muttern-Gewinde-Stellung. Vorteil ist hierbei, daß Fertigungstoleranzen im Rundlauf und Muttern-Gewinde-Lage auf die Seiten aufgeteilt werden und somit lediglich die Hälfte der Toleranzen wirken.It is possible that both longitudinal sides of the elongated hole 10 of the control plate 11th with the contact surfaces 12a and 12b on the upper side 6 of the plate 5 of the Adjustment screw 1 rest or only one side with the contact surface 12a or 12b, depending on the tolerance position of concentricity and nut thread position. advantage Here is that manufacturing tolerances in the concentricity and nuts-threaded position on the Split sides and thus only half of the tolerances act.

Weiterhin ist in Figur 2 zu sehen, daß sowohl die Oberseite 6 als auch die Unterseite 7 des Tellers 5 der Verstellschraube 1 in einer gekrümmten Form vorliegen, wobei die Unterseite 7 dann auf einer entsprechend, ebenfalls gekrümmt, geformten Auflagefläche 19 der Grundplatte 8 satt aufliegen. Hierdurch soll eine große und konstante Auflagefläche zwischen Unterseite 7 des Tellers 5 der Verstellschraube 1 und der Auflagefläche 19 der Grundplatte 8 hergestellt werden.Furthermore, it can be seen in Figure 2 that both the top 6 and the bottom 7 of the plate 5 of the adjusting screw 1 are in a curved shape, wherein the bottom 7 then on a corresponding, also curved, shaped Support surface 19 of the base plate 8 rest fully. This should be a big and constant contact surface between the bottom 7 of the plate 5 of the adjusting screw. 1 and the bearing surface 19 of the base plate 8 are produced.

Weiterhin ist in Figur 2 zu sehen, daß eine höchste Stabilität der Konstruktion dadurch erreicht wird, daß die Kraftflüsse 4 durch möglichst wenig Teile über möglichst kurze Strecken mit möglichst geringen Kraftumlenkungen erfolgt. Hierdurch wird also eine Überbeanspruchung schwachdimensionierter Teile vermieden und somit eine entsprechende Dauerhaltbarkeit und Reproduzierbarkeit der seitlichen Einstellung des verstellbaren Scharnieres gewährleistet. Furthermore, it can be seen in Figure 2, that a highest stability of the construction is achieved in that the power flows 4 through as few parts over As short as possible distances with the least possible force deflections. As a result, an overuse of weakly dimensioned parts avoided and thus a corresponding durability and reproducibility the lateral adjustment of the adjustable hinge ensures.

Bei Druckbelastung in Richtung 4a drückt nun die Seitenverstellschraube 1 über die Grundplatte 8 auf den Korpus 9 und zwar geradlinig, ohne Umlenkung.When pressure is applied in the direction of 4a now presses the side adjustment screw 1 on the Base plate 8 on the body 9 in a straight line, without deflection.

Bei Zugbelastung in Richtung 4b erfolgt der Kraftfluß in der Querschnittsebene durch die Mitte der Seitenverstellschraube 1, d. h. auf dem kürzesten Weg von der Grundplatte 8 auf den Scharnierarm 14.When tensile load in the direction 4b of the power flow takes place in the cross-sectional plane through the middle of the side adjustment screw 1, d. H. on the shortest path from the Base plate 8 on the hinge arm 14th

Die Figuren 3a bis 3c zeigen jeweils einen Schnitt durch die Längsachse des verstellbaren Scharnieres im montierten Zustand, gemäß Figur 1, wobei in Figur 3a ein bereits eingestellter Zustand zwischen Türe 15 und Korpus 9 dargestellt ist; in Figur 3b ist die Verstellschraube 1 in volleingedrehtem Zustand dargestellt und in Figur 3c die Verstellschraube 1 in vollausgedrehtem Zustand.FIGS. 3 a to 3 c each show a section through the longitudinal axis of the adjustable hinge in the assembled state, according to FIG 1, wherein in Figure 3a an already set state between the door 15 and the body. 9 is shown; in Figure 3b, the adjusting screw 1 is in the fully rotated state represented and in Figure 3c, the adjusting screw 1 in fully rotated state.

Der Verstellweg 3 kann also durch ein Ein- bzw. Ausschrauben der Verstellschraube 1 in der Gewindebohrung des Scharnierarmes 14 eingestellt werden, wobei der relative Abstand des Scharnierarmes 14 zur Einstellplatte 11 bzw. zur Grundplatte 8 dann direkt umgelenkt wird, über die Feder-Klappmechanik 20 und das Möbelband 2 in die Türe 15 und somit in die Figuren 3a bis 3c die Türe von unten nach oben bzw. umgekehrt verschoben werden kann.The adjustment 3 can therefore by a screwing or unscrewing the adjusting screw 1 are set in the threaded bore of the hinge arm 14, wherein the relative distance of the hinge arm 14 to the adjustment plate 11 and the base plate. 8 is then deflected directly over the spring-folding mechanism 20 and the furniture band. 2 in the door 15 and thus in the figures 3a to 3c, the door from bottom to top or reversed can be moved.

Durch ein Ein- und Ausschrauben der Verstellschraube 1 wird also die Türe 15 seitlich zum Korpus 9 verschoben, und dadurch wird eine Seitenverstellung erreicht. Diese Einstellung kann bei festeingedrehter Arretierschraube 17 erfolgen, so daß der Scharnierarm 14 und die Stellplatte 11 an der Stelle der Arretierschraube 17 zueinander nicht beweglich sind. Dieses Arretieren geschieht durch vollständiges Eindrehen der Arretierschraube 17 auf die Basisplatte 8, wo sie dann arretierend festliegt.By screwing and unscrewing the adjusting screw 1 so the door is 15th moved laterally to the body 9, and thereby a lateral adjustment is achieved. This adjustment can be done with firmly screwed locking screw 17, so that the Hinge arm 14 and the adjusting plate 11 at the location of the locking screw 17th are not movable to each other. This locking is done by complete Screwing the locking screw 17 on the base plate 8, where they then arresting fixed.

In Figur 3b ist die Türe 15 etwas zu hoch justiert, in bezug auf den Korpus 9, und in Figur 3c ist die Türe 15 etwas zu niedrig justiert, im Vergleich zum Korpus 9. In Figure 3b, the door 15 is adjusted slightly too high, with respect to the body 9, and in 3c, the door 15 is adjusted slightly too low compared to the body. 9

Ebenfalls ist den Figuren 3a bis 3c zu entnehmen, daß, je nach Verstellweg, die Verstellschraube 1 nun ihre Achslage in bezug zur Basisplatte 8 und zur Stellplatte 11 verändert, was dadurch zustande kommt, daß der Abstand zwischen Scharnierarm 14 und Stellplatte 11 bzw. Grundplatte 8 verändert wird. Genau genommen verändert sich der Winkel zwischen Scharnierarm 14 und Stellplatte 11 bzw. Grundplatte 8, da ja diese drei zuvor genannten Teile im Bereich der Arretierschraube 17 fest und unverrutschbar zueinander festliegen.It can also be seen from FIGS. 3 a to 3 c that, depending on the adjustment path, the Adjustment screw 1 now their axial position with respect to the base plate 8 and the adjusting plate 11 changes, which is due to the fact that the distance between Hinge arm 14 and adjusting plate 11 and base plate 8 is changed. Exactly taken the angle between the hinge arm 14 and the adjusting plate 11 changes Base plate 8, since these three aforementioned parts in the field of Locking screw 17 fixed firmly and unverrutschbar to each other.

Im Vergleich zu Figur 3a ist die Verstellschraube 1 in Figur 3b also leicht nach rechts gekippt und die Verstellschraube, gemäß der Figur 3c, im Vergleich zu Figur 3a leicht nach links verkippt, wobei jedoch die Auflagefläche der Unterseite 7 des Tellers 5 der Verstellschraube 1 jeweils konstant bleiben, auf Grund ihrer gekrümmten Form und auf Grund der gekrümmten Form der Auflagefläche 19 der Grundplatte 8.Compared to Figure 3a, the adjusting screw 1 in Figure 3b so slightly to the right tilted and the adjusting screw, according to the figure 3c, in comparison to Figure 3a tilted slightly to the left, but the bearing surface of the bottom 7 of the Tellers 5 of the adjusting screw 1 each remain constant, due to their curved shape and due to the curved shape of the support surface 19 of the Base plate 8.

In Figur 4 ist nun noch abschließend eine perspektivische Darstellung einer Verstellschraube 1 dargestellt, wobei hier zu sehen ist, daß die Verstellschraube im Prinzip als Gewindestift ausgebildet ist und diese Verstellschraube 1 am oberen Ende eine Vorrichtung 18 in Form eines Kreuzschlitzes zur lösbaren Aufnahme eines Werkzeuges angebracht hat und am unteren, freien Ende einen Schraubenteller 5 größeren Durchmessers.In Figure 4 is now finally a perspective view of a Adjusting screw 1 shown, which can be seen here that the Adjusting screw is designed in principle as a threaded pin and this Adjustment screw 1 at the top of a device 18 in the form of a Phillips for releasably receiving a tool has attached and on lower, free end of a screw 5 larger diameter.

Auch ist dieser Figur 4 zu entnehmen, daß die Oberseite 6 und Unterseite 7 des Schraubentellers 5 gekrümmt ausgebildet sind, beispielsweise kugel- oder kegelförmig oder in irgendeiner anderen freien Formfläche. Diese Fläche korrespondiert dann mit der Auflagefläche 19 der Grundplatte 8, die natürlich möglichst gleich ausgebildet ist, wie die Form der Unterseite 7 des Tellers 5.Also, this Figure 4 it can be seen that the top 6 and bottom 7 of the Screw plate 5 are curved, for example, ball or conical or in any other free form surface. This area then corresponds to the support surface 19 of the base plate 8, the course formed as equal as the shape of the bottom 7 of the plate. 5

Der Durchmesser dieses Tellers 5 entspricht etwa dem doppelten des Gewindemitteldurchmessers 13 der Verstellschraube 1, und die Höhe des Tellers 5 entspricht etwa einem Fünftel der gesamten Länge der Verstellschraube 1. Diese Maße sind lediglich bevorzugte Maße und können in einen Ausführungsformen von diesen Maßen abweichen. The diameter of this plate 5 corresponds approximately to twice the Thread diameter 13 of the adjusting screw 1, and the height of the plate. 5 corresponds to about one-fifth of the total length of the adjusting screw 1. This Dimensions are merely preferred dimensions and may be embodied in one embodiment deviate from these dimensions.
