Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Öffnungsvorrichtung für relativ zueinander bewegliche Möbelteile wie an einem Möbelkorpus verschwenkbarer angelenkte Türflügel, Klappen u. dgl. mit einem langgestreckten, längsverschieblich in oder an einem der relativ zueinander beweglichen Möbelteile befestigbaren Gehäuse gelagerten Auswerferstößel, welcher durch eine Feder mit seinem einen Ende in eine aus dem Gehäuse in Richtung zum jeweils anderen Möbelteil vorstehende Position vorgespannt und entgegen der Vorspannung ins Gehäuseinnere zurückdrängbar ist, wobei eine den Auswerferstößel in der im Gehäuse zurückgezogenen Position verriegelnde, durch Manipulation durch einen Benutzer entriegelbare Sperrvorrichtung vorgesehen ist. Eine solche Öffnungsvorrichtung ist aus
Für am Korpus von Schränken angelenkte Türflügel, Klappen u. dgl. sind sowohl gesondert am Korpus bzw. dem Türflügel zu montierende als auch in die die Schwenkbewegung ermöglichende Scharniere integrierte Schließbeschläge - beispielsweise Schnäpper - entwickelt worden, welche beim Schließvorgang eines Türflügels bei dessen Annäherung an die Schließstellung den Türflügel federnd in die Schließstellung ziehen und auch in der Schließstellung halten. Um dabei Aufprallgeräusche und Erschütterungen des Möbelstücks zu vermeiden bzw. zu vermindern, sind in neuerer Zeit auch Dämpfungsvorrichtungen für den abschließenden Schließvorgang der Türflügel entwickelt worden, die ebenfalls gesondert am Korpus bzw. dem Türflügel anbringbar oder in die Scharniere integrierbar sind.For hinged on the body of cabinets door, flaps u. Like. Are both separately on the body or the door to be mounted as well as in the pivotal movement enabling hinges integrated locking fittings - for example, snaps - developed, which pull the door resiliently in the closed position during the closing process of a door when approaching the closed position and also hold in the closed position. In order to avoid or reduce impact noise and vibration of the furniture, damper devices for the final closing operation of the door wings have been developed in recent times, which are also separately attachable to the body or the door or integrated into the hinges.
Im Bestreben aus optisch/ästhetischen Gründen, die zum Öffnen und Schließen der Türflügel oder Klappen erforderlichen Griffbeschläge zu vermeiden, sind so genannte Touch-Latch-Beschläge entwickelt worden, welche neben einer Verriegelungsfunktion für den geschlossenen Türflügel mit einer zusätzlichen Öffnungsfunktion versehen sind, welche es erlaubt, den in der Tür-Schließstellung befindlichen Türflügel durch einen zusätzlich in Richtung ins Korpusinnern ausgeübten Druck zu entriegeln und ihm dann durch eine integrierte Federanordnung eine Bewegung in Öffnungsrichtung zu erteilen, so dass der Türflügel sich um einen kurzen Winkelbetrag vom Schrankkorpus abhebt und die Rückseite des Türflügels dann im Randbereich hintergriffen und der Türflügel - auch ohne Vorhandensein eines Griffbeschlags - geöffnet werden kann. Auch solche Touch-Latch-Beschläge können als gesonderte, im Bereich der Korpusmündung montierbare Beschläge oder als in die Scharniere integrierte Beschläge (z.B.
Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Öffnungsvorrichtung für verschwenkbar an einem Korpus angelenkten Möbelteile zu schaffen, welche es ermöglicht, einen solchen vollständig geschlossenen, und durch eine unter Federvorspannung stehende Schließmechanik in der Schließstellung gehaltenen Möbelteil, z.B. einen Türflügel, ohne die Anbringung von Griffbeschlägen zur Ausübung von wirksamen, in Öffnungsrichtung wirkenden Kräften nach Betätigung durch den Benutzer selbsttätig um einen gewissen Winkelbetrag in Öffnungsrichtung zu verschwenken.The invention is based on the object to provide an opening device for pivotally hinged to a body furniture parts, which allows such a fully closed, and held by a spring-biased locking mechanism in the closed position furniture part, e.g. a door leaf, without the attachment of handle fittings for the exercise of effective, acting in the opening direction forces after actuation by the user to pivot automatically by a certain angle in the opening direction.
Ausgehend von einer Öffnungsvorrichtung der Eingangs erwähnten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass im Gehäuse eine den Auswerferstößel beim vollständigen Öffnen des beweglichen Möbelteils zwangsläufig in die ins Gehäuse zurückgezogene Sperrposition verschiebende Spannvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche einen im Gehäuse um eine rechtwinklig zur Längsmittelachse des Auswerferstößels verschwenkbar gelagerten doppelarmigen Hebelbauteil aufweist, dessen einer Hebelarm in seinem freien Endbereich in Mitnahmeverbindung mit dem im Gehäuseinnern verschieblich gehalterten Bereich des Auswerferstößels steht, während am Endbereich des anderen Hebelarms ein Spannorgan in Form eines langgestreckten Stangenbauteils angekoppelt ist, dessen aus der türflügelzugewandten Gehäusewandung herausgeführtes freies Ende mit Mitteln zur zug- und/oder druckübertragenden Befestigung an der Türflügel-Innenseite versehen ist, so dass die Öffnungsbewegung des beweglichen Möbelteils über den mit seinem einen aus dem Gehäuse herausgeführten Ende am beweglichen Möbelteil angreifenden Stangenbauteil im Gehäuseinnern in eine Rückziehbewegung des Auswerferstößels in die zurückgezogene Position umgesetzt wird. Durch Verwendung einer solchen zusätzlichen Spannvorrichtung, welche den überwiegenden Teil der Öffnungsbewegung des verschwenkbaren Möbelteils in eine relativ kurzhubige Verschiebung des Auswerferstößels umsetzt, wird erreicht, dass der bewegliche Möbelteil beim Schließvorgang in die ganz geschlossene Position bewegt werden kann, ohne dass am Ende der Schließbewegung ein federnder Gegendruck überwunden werden muss, wie dies bei den bekannten Touch-Latch-Beschlägen erforderlich ist. Auch ein für die Entriegelung von Touch-Latch-Beschlägen aus der Schließposition erforderlicher, den Betätigungsweg zur Verfügung stellender Spalt zwischen dem beweglichen Möbelteil, z.B. der Rückseite eines Türflügels und dem Schrankkorpus ist nicht erforderlich.Starting from an opening device of the type mentioned above, this object is achieved in that the ejector ram in the case of complete opening of the movable furniture part inevitably in the retracted into the housing locking position clamping device is provided in the housing, which in the housing at a right angle to the longitudinal central axis of the ejector ram pivotally mounted double-armed lever member having a lever arm in its free end portion in driving connection with the Gehaltraum axially displaceable Erten held within the housing ejector ram, while at the end of the other lever arm, a clamping member is coupled in the form of an elongate rod member, whose from the door leaf facing Housing wall led out free end is provided with means for tension and / or pressure-transmitting attachment to the inside of the door, so that the opening movement of the movable furniture part on the one out of the housing led out end of the movable furniture part rod member in the housing interior in a retraction movement of the Ejector plunger is converted into the retracted position. By using such an additional clamping device, which converts the majority of the opening movement of the pivotable furniture part in a relatively short-stroke displacement of the ejector, it is achieved that the movable furniture part can be moved to the fully closed position during the closing process, without at the end of the closing movement resilient counterpressure must be overcome, as is required in the known touch-latch fittings. Also required for the unlocking of touch-latch fittings from the closed position, the actuating travel available-making gap between the movable furniture part, eg the back of a door leaf and the cabinet body is not required.
Die Mitnahmeverbindung des ersten Hebelarms des Hebelbauteils mit dem Auswerferstößel ist dabei zweckmäßig kinematisch so ausgebildet, dass der Hebelarm verschwenkbar und zusätzlich um ein vorgegebenes Maß parallel zur Längsmittelachse des Auswerferstößels verschieblich am Auswerferstößel angekoppelt ist.The entrainment of the first lever arm of the lever member with the ejector is expediently kinematically designed so that the lever arm is pivotally and additionally coupled by a predetermined amount parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the ejector plunger slidably on the ejector plunger.
Dabei wird der Hebelbauteil bevorzugt von zwei voneinander beabstandeten parallelen doppelarmigen Hebeln gebildet, wobei der lichte Abstand zwischen den auswerferstößelseitigen Hebelarmen der doppelarmigen Hebel im Wesentlichen gleich bzw. nur geringfügig größer als der Außendurchmesser des Auswerferstößels bemessen ist.In this case, the lever component is preferably formed by two mutually spaced parallel double-armed levers, wherein the clear distance between the ejector-side lever arms of the double-armed lever is substantially equal to or dimensioned only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the ejector plunger.
Dadurch kann die Ausgestaltung dann so getroffen werden, dass die Mitnahmeverbindung von den Endbereichen der auswerferstößelseitigen Hebelarme der Hebel in jeweils eine zugeordnete Längsnut vorgegebene Länge in der gegenüberliegenden Außenseite im Auswerferstößel eingreifende Zapfen aufweist. Diese Mitnahmeverbindung stellt also sozusagen eine einfache Kulissen/Nut-Verbindung dar, welche die verschwenkbare und längsverschiebliche Ankopplung des Hebelbauteils am Auswerferstößel verwirklicht.As a result, the embodiment can then be made so that the driving connection of the end portions of the ejector-side lever arms the lever has in each case an assigned longitudinal groove predetermined length in the opposite outer side in Auswerferstößel engaging pins. This driving connection thus represents a simple scenes / groove connection, so to speak, which realizes the pivotable and longitudinally displaceable coupling of the lever member on the ejector plunger.
Der Hebelbauteil ist in bevorzugter Weiterbildung der Erfindung zusätzlich zu seiner verschwenkbaren Lagerung um ein vorgegebenes Maß rechtwinklig zur Auswerferstößel-Längsmittelachse in Höhenrichtung verschiebbar ausgebildet, um die bei der Verschwenkung des Hebelbauteils entstehende Bewegungskomponente rechtwinklig zur Auswerferstößel-Längsmittelachse durch eine Verschiebung des Hebelbauteils in entgegengesetzte Richtung ausgleichen zu können.The lever member is formed in a preferred embodiment of the invention in addition to its pivotal mounting by a predetermined amount at right angles to the ejector longitudinal axis longitudinal axis in the height direction displaceable to compensate for the pivoting component of the lever component movement component perpendicular to the ejector longitudinal axis by a displacement of the lever member in the opposite direction to be able to.
Dabei ist die Ausgestaltung dann mit Vorteil so getroffen, dass die Schwenkachse des Hebelbauteils von zwei fluchtenden, jeweils von den voneinander abgewandten Außenseiten der Hebel vorstehenden Zapfen gebildet wird, welche in jeweils eine zugeordnete, um das vorgegebene Maß in Höhenrichtung verlaufende Nut in den Innenflächen der gegenüberliegenden Wandungen des Gehäuses vorstehen.In this case, the configuration is then advantageously so made that the pivot axis of the lever member is formed by two aligned, each of the opposite outer sides of the lever protruding pin, which in each case an associated, in the vertical direction extending groove in the inner surfaces of the protrude opposite walls of the housing.
Der die Öffnungsbewegung des Türflügels auf den Hebelbauteil übertragender Stangenbauteil wird dann mit Vorteil ebenfalls verschwenkbar und um ein vorgegebenes Maß in Richtung der Längsmittelachse des Stangenbauteils verschieblich am zweiten Hebelarm angekoppelt. Besonders einfach ist dies dadurch möglich, dass der Stangenbauteil in seinem gehäuseinneren Endbereich eine schlaufenartige langgestreckte, beidseitig geschlossene Öse aufweist, welche von einem in den Endbereichen der zweiten Hebelarme der Hebel des Hebelbauteils gehaltenen Bolzen durchsetzt wird.The bar component which transmits the opening movement of the door leaf to the lever component is then advantageously also pivotably coupled and displaceable by a predetermined amount in the direction of the longitudinal central axis of the rod component on the second lever arm. This is possible in a particularly simple manner in that the rod component has in its housing-inner end region a loop-like elongated eye closed on both sides, which is penetrated by a bolt held in the end regions of the second lever arms of the levers of the lever component.
Das andere - aus dem Gehäuse herausgeführte - Ende des Stangenbauteils wird dann zweckmäßig um eine rechtwinklig und senkrecht zur Stangenbauteil-Längsachse verlaufende Achse verschwenkbar an einer auf der Innenseite des beweglichen Möbelteils, d.h. des Türflügels, befestigbaren Befestigungskonsole angelenkt.The other end of the rod member, which is led out of the housing, is then pivoted, as appropriate, about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod member and pivotable on an inner side of the movable furniture member, i. the door leaf, attachable mounting bracket articulated.
Die den Auswerferstößel in der im Gehäuse zurückgezogenen Position verriegelnde, durch Manipulation durch einen Benutzer entriegelbare Sperrvorrichtung weist zweckmäßig eine im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Verschiebungsrichtung des Auswerferstößels beweglich im Gehäuse gehalterte, an ihrem gehäuseinneren Ende in Rasteingriff mit einer im Auswerferstößel vorgesehenen Rastvertiefung bringbare Sperrklinke auf, wobei die Positionierung der Rastvertiefung im Auswerferstößel so positioniert ist, dass die Sperrklinke in der ins Gehäuse zurückgezogenen Position des Auswerferstößels mit der Rastvertiefung ausgerichtet ist. Die Sperrklinke ist dabei bevorzugt in federnden Rasteingriff mit der Rastvertiefung vorgespannt.Which locks the ejector plunger in the retracted position in the housing, By locking by a user unlockable locking device advantageously has a substantially perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the ejector ram held in the housing, at its housing inner end in latching engagement with a latch provided in Auswerferstößel latching pawl, wherein the positioning of the latching recess in the ejector ram is positioned so that the pawl is aligned in the retracted into the housing position of the ejector ram with the locking recess. The pawl is preferably biased in resilient latching engagement with the detent recess.
Durch geeignete Mittel zur Fernentriegelung der Sperrklinke aus dem Rasteingriff mit der Rastvertiefung ist der Auswerferstößel dann aus seiner ins Gehäuse zurückgezogenen Position entriegelbar, so dass er aufgrund der auf ihn einwirkenden Vorspannung der zugeordneten Feder in die aus dem Gehäuse vorstehende Position geführt wird, wodurch die anfängliche Öffnungsbewegung des Türflügels ausgelöst wird. Die Mittel zur Fernentriegelung der Sperrklinke können beispielsweise von über Kabelzüge oder Koppelglieder mit der Sperrklinke verbundenen Betätigungsknöpfen oder Hebeln oder alternativ auch von drucksensitiven Betätigungsflächen von versenkt im Türflügel oder Schrankkorpus eingesetzten elektrischen Schaltern gebildet werden.By suitable means for remote release of the pawl from the locking engagement with the detent recess of the ejector plunger is then unlocked from its retracted into the housing position so that it is guided due to the force acting on him bias of the associated spring in the projecting position from the housing, whereby the initial Opening movement of the door is triggered. The means for remote unlocking of the pawl, for example, be formed by cable ties or coupling members connected to the pawl operating buttons or levers or alternatively also pressure-sensitive actuating surfaces of countersunk electrical switches used in the door or cabinet body.
Bei der zweiten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Öffnungsvorrichtung ist die Ausgestaltung so getroffen, dass im Gehäuse ein doppelarmiger Hebelbauteil mit zwei im Wesentlichen in entgegengesetzte Richtungen weisenden Hebelarmen verschwenkbar gelagert ist, dass im Endbereich des einen Hebelarms der unter Vorspannung stehende Auswerferstößel angeordnet und ein das Ende des Hebelarms in der der zurückgezogenen Position des Auswerferstößels zugeordneten Schwenkstellung des Hebelbauteils verriegelnder Riegelbauteil der Sperrvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, und dass mit dem Endbereich des anderen Hebelarms des Hebelbauteils eine Spann- und Arretiervorrichtung gekoppelt ist, welche einen an der korpusinneren Seite des beweglichen Möbelteils einerseits und einem im Gehäuseinnern verschieblich gelagerten flachen Schieber angekoppelten Stangenbauteil als Spannorgan aufweist, wobei der Schieber mit einer über den größeren Teil ihrer Länge im Wesentlichen geradlinig verlaufenden kulissenartigen Steuernut versehen ist, die am korpusäußeren vorderen Ende jedoch in einen kurzen im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zum geradlinigen Bereich verlaufenden Endabschnitt übergeht, und in die Steuernut ein an einer verschwenkbar im Gehäuse angeordneten flachen segmentförmigen Steuerscheibe vorgesehener Steuervorsprung eingreift, welcher in der Schließstellung des beweglichen Möbelteils im querlaufenden Endabschnitt der Steuernut steht und beim Öffnen des beweglichen Möbelteils durch die vom Stangenbauteil auf den Schieber übertragene Bewegung unter Verschwenkung der Steuerscheibe in den geradlinigen Abschnitt der Steuernut verstellt wird und so eine Verschiebung des bis dahin durch den Eingriff des Steuervorsprungs im rechtwinklig zum geradlinigen Steuemutabschnitt verlaufenden Steuernut-Endabschnitt gehaltenen Schiebers in Richtung aus dem Korpusinnern heraus freigibt.In the second embodiment of the opening device according to the invention, the embodiment is such that in the housing a double-armed lever member is pivotally mounted with two substantially pointing in opposite directions lever arms, that arranged in the end region of a lever arm of the biasing ejector ram and a the end of the lever arm in which the retracted position of the ejector ram associated pivotal position of the lever member locking locking member of the locking device is provided, and that is coupled to the end portion of the other lever arm of the lever member, a clamping and locking device, which on the inside of a carcass of the movable furniture part on the one hand and inside the housing slidably mounted flat slide coupled rod member as a clamping member, wherein the slide with a substantially straight over the greater part of its length extending k but at the front outer end of the body, in a short substantially perpendicular to the rectilinear portion extending end portion merges, and in the control groove engages a provided on a pivotally arranged in the housing flat segmental control disk control projection which is in the closed position of the movable furniture part in the transverse end portion of the control groove and upon opening of the movable furniture part by the rod member on the slide transmitted movement under pivoting the control disk is adjusted in the rectilinear portion of the cam groove, thus releasing a displacement of the slider until then held by the engagement of the cam projection at the right-hand control groove portion with the cam groove end portion toward the inside of the body.
Im Hinblick auf eine Möglichst geringe Bauhöhe der Öffnungsvorrichtung ist die Ausgestaltung dabei bevorzugt so getroffen, dass das Gehäuse in Längsrichtung der Schwenkachse des Hebelbauteils so bemessen ist, dass der lichte Abstand zwischen den den Hebelbauteil aufnehmenden im Wesentlichen ebenflächigen Gehäusedeckewänden etwa gleich der Dicke des Hebelbauteils im Bereich der Schwenkachse entspricht, wobei die Gehäusedeckwände entlang ihrer auswerferstößelseitigen Ränder zumindest partiell durch eine niedrige langgestreckte Seitenwand mit einer Durchgangsöffnung für den Auswerferstößel geschlossen ist. Dabei bietet sich dann aufgrund des geringen Abstands der Gehäusedeckwände die Möglichkeit der Montage des Gehäuses auf der Innenseite der Deckwand oder des Bodens des Schrankkorpus an.With regard to a possible low overall height of the opening device, the embodiment is preferably made such that the housing is dimensioned in the longitudinal direction of the pivot axis of the lever member so that the clear distance between the substantially planar housing cover walls receiving the lever member is approximately equal to the thickness of the lever member in Area of the pivot axis corresponds, wherein the housing cover walls along its ejector ram side edges is at least partially closed by a low elongated side wall with a passage opening for the ejector plunger. In this case, then offers the possibility of mounting the housing on the inside of the top wall or the bottom of the cabinet body due to the small distance of the housing cover walls.
Der Auswerferstößel hat dann zweckmäßig die Form eines flachen, zwischen den Innenseiten der Gehäusedeckwände verschieblich geführten Plattenbauteils, welcher stirnwandseitig eine ebenflächige Druckfläche aufweist, die in der ins Gehäuse zurückgezogenen Position des Auswerferstößels nur geringfügig über die Gehäuse-Seitenwand in der Durchtrittsöffnung vorsteht.The ejector ram then expediently has the form of a flat, displaceably guided between the inner sides of the housing top panels plate member having a planar pressure surface on the front wall side, which protrudes only slightly in the retracted into the housing position of the ejector ram on the housing side wall in the passage opening.
Der Riegelbauteil der Sperrvorrichtung wird in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung als verschwenkbar zwischen den Gehäusedeckwänden gelagerter Schwenkhebel mit einem an seinem dem schwenklagerseitigen Ende gegenüberliegenden freien Ende vorgesehenen Riegelvorsprung ausgebildet, welcher in der zurückgezogenen Sperrpositionen das dem Auswerferstößel zugeordneten Ende des Hebelarms des Hebelbauteils untergreift und den Hebelbauteil so entgegen der auf ihn wirkenden Vorspannung in der zurückgezogenen Sperrposition fixiert.The locking member of the locking device is formed in an advantageous embodiment of the invention as a pivotally mounted between the housing cover walls pivot lever with a provided at its the swivel bearing end free end locking projection which engages in the retracted locking positions the ejector ram associated end of the lever arm of the lever member and the lever member so fixed against the bias acting on it in the retracted locking position.
Dabei ist es dann zweckmäßig, wenn der Schwenkhebel getrieblich mit einer mit Abstand vom Schwenkhebel angeordneten Auslösereinheit gekoppelt ist, welche ein federnd in eine geringfügig über die Seitenwand des Gehäuses vortretende Position vorgespanntes Druckstück aufweist, dessen bei Ausübung eines Drucks in Richtung des Gehäuseinnern erzeugte Einschubbewegung über die getriebliche Kopplung in eine Verschwenkung des Schwenkhebels im Sinne einer Freigabe des verriegelten Endes des zugeordneten Hebelarms umgesetzt wird.It is expedient if the pivot lever is coupled in terms of gearing with a distance from the pivot lever arranged release unit, which has a resiliently in a slightly protruding over the side wall of the housing biased pressure piece whose generated upon exertion of pressure in the direction of the housing interior slide-in over the geared coupling is converted into a pivoting of the pivot lever in the sense of a release of the locked end of the associated lever arm.
An dem dem schwenklagerseitigen Ende gegenüberliegenden Ende des Schwenkhebels ist vorteilhaft ein langgestrecktes Zug-/Druckorgan, angeordnet, dessen anderes Ende an einem Hebelarm eines verschwenkbaren Winkelhebels angeschlossen ist, dessen anderer Hebelarm mit dem Druckstück gekoppelt ist.At the end opposite the pivot bearing end of the pivot lever is advantageously an elongated pull / push member, arranged, the other end is connected to a lever arm of a pivotable angle lever whose other lever arm is coupled to the pressure piece.
Der Auswerferstößel ist in zweckmäßiger Weiterbildung um eine zu seiner Druckfläche ins Gehäuseinnere versetzte Achse verschwenkbar am zugeordneten Hebelarm des Hebelbauteils angelenkt und - vorzugsweise - zusätzlich um ein vorgegebenes Maß im Wesentlichen parallel zur Druckfläche verschieblich am Hebelarm angeordnet.The ejector plunger is hinged in an appropriate development about an offset to its pressure surface into the housing interior axis pivotally mounted on the associated lever arm of the lever member and - preferably additionally arranged by a predetermined amount substantially parallel to the pressure surface displaceable on the lever arm.
Der Auswerferstößel kann die Form eines in den den Gehäusedeckwänden gegenüberstehenden Bereichen beidseitig ebenflächig begrenzten flachen Körpers aufweisen, dessen zwischen den gegenüberliegenden ebenen Flächen gemessene Dicke etwa dem lichten Abstand der Innenfläche der Gehäusedeckwände entspricht.The ejector plunger may have the shape of a flat body bordering the housing cover walls on both sides in a planar manner whose thickness measured between the opposing planar surfaces corresponds approximately to the clear distance of the inner surface of the housing cover walls.
Der Stangenbauteil wird in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung verschwenkbar und in vorgegebenem Maße in Verschiebungsrichtung des Schiebers verschieblich am Schieber angekoppelt.The rod member is pivotally coupled in an advantageous embodiment and displaceable in a predetermined extent in the direction of displacement of the slider on the slide.
Bei der Anordnung der in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise ausgebildeten Öffnungsvorrichtung an einem Schrank mit verschwenkbarem Schrankkorpus angelenktern Türflügel wird das Gehäuse der Öffnungsvorrichtung bevorzugt mit einer der Gehäusedeckwände derart an der Innerfläche der oberen Deckwand oder - alternativ - des Bodens des Schrankkorpus anliegend so im Schrankkorpus angeordnet ist, dass die Druckfläche des in der zurückgezogenen Position nur geringfügig von der Seitenwand des Gehäuses vorstehenden Auswerferstößels im Wesentlichen an der Innenfläche des in der Schließstellung der Schließstellung stehenden Türflügels anliegt.In the arrangement of the opening device formed in the manner according to the invention on a cabinet with pivoting cabinet body hinged door the housing of the opening device is preferably arranged with one of the housing cover walls on the inner surface of the upper top wall or - alternatively - the bottom of the cabinet body fitting in the cabinet body, in that the pressure surface of the ejector plunger projecting only slightly from the side wall of the housing in the retracted position bears substantially against the inner surface of the door leaf which is in the closed position of the closed position.

Der im Gehäuse 28 längsverschieblich gelagerte Auswerferstößel 30 wird von einer zwischen seiner gehäuseinneren Stirnfläche und der gegenüberliegenden Gehäuse-Innenwand eingesetzten unter Druckvorspannung stehenden Schraubenfeder 32 in die in
Im Gehäuse 28 ist ein Hebelbauteil 42 verschwenkbar gelagert, welcher von zwei starr miteinander verbundenen doppelarmigen Hebeln 42a, 42b gebildet wird. Die Endbereiche der oberen Hebelarme der Hebel 42a, 42 umgreifen den Auswerferstößel 30 in seinen gegenüberliegenden Bereichen und sind über eine von jeweils einem in eine langgestreckte Nut 48 im Auswerferstößel 30 eingreifenden vorspringenden Zapfen 50 gebildete Mitnehmerverbindung mit dem Auswerferstößel gekoppelt. Die Schwenklagerung des Hebelbauteils 42 im Gehäuse 28 erfolgt - unterhalb des Auswerferstößels 30 - ebenfalls durch jeweils einen von der Außenseite der Hebel 42a, 42b vorstehenden Zapfen 52, welche in jeweils eine zugeordnete, in Höhenrichtung in der Innenseite der Wandung des Gehäuses 28 vorgesehene, als Nut 54 ausgebildete Lageraufnahme eingreifen. Neben der Verschwenkung des Hebelbauteils 42 erlaubt diese Lagerung also auch eine Höhenverschiebung des Hebelbauteils 42 in dem durch die Länge der Nut 54 vorgegebenen Maß.In the
In den Endbereichen der unteren Hebelarme der Hebel 42a, 42b ist das gehäuseinnere Ende des bereits erwähnten Stangenbauteils 33 angekoppelt, wobei dieses Ende als beidseitig geschlossene langgestreckte schlaufenartige Öse 58 ausgebildet ist, welche von einem in den Endbereichen der unteren Hebelarme der Hebel 42a bzw. 42b gehaltenen Bolzen 60 durchsetzt wird. Diese Art der Ankopplung des Stangenbauteils 33 am Hebelbauteil 42 hat also zur Folge, dass eine Übertragung einer Längsbewegung des Stangenbauteils 33 von der Öse 58 über den Bolzen 60 auf die unteren Hebelarme der Hebel 42a, 42b und umgekehrt jeweils nur dann erfolgt, wenn das in Bewegungsrichtung hintere geschlossene Ende der Öse 58 am Bolzen anliegt. Bei einer Bewegungsumkehr kann sich die Öse dann zunächst ohne Mitnahme der unteren Hebelarme der Hebel 42a, 42b und somit ohne Verschwenkung des Hebelbauteils 42 um das Maß der Schlaufenlänge der Öse 58 frei auf dem Bolzen verschieben. Erst dann, wenn das gegenüberliegende geschlossene Ende der Öse 58 am Bolzen 60 zur Anlage kommt, wird eine weitere Bewegung des Stangenbauteils 33 auf den Hebelbauteil 42 übertragen und in eine Verschwenkung des Hebelbauteils umgesetzt. Dadurch wird also eine kinematische Kette zwischen den Funktionsbauteilen der Öffnungsvorrichtung 10 und dem Türflügel 12 geschaffen, welche von der in den Zeichnungsfiguren 1, 2 und 7a, 7b dargestellte Schließstellung des Türflügels 12 über die in den

Die Öffnungsvorrichtung 110 weist ein in Draufsicht langgestrecktes rechteckiges, in Höhenrichtung bewusst niedrig gehaltenes Gehäuse 118, welches mit der oberen Flachseite bündig an der Korpusdeckwand und mit einer der kürzeren niedrigen Querwände in bündiger Anlage an der Innenseite der Seiten- oder Tragwand 14 angeordnet ist. In der aus dem Korpusinneren herausweisenden niedrigen vorderen Seitenwand 18a des Gehäuses ist in der Nähe der Tragwand 14 eine Durchlassöffnung 120 für einen Stangenbauteil 122 vorgesehen, dessen aus dem Gehäuse 118 vortretendes freies Ende um eine senkrechte Achse verschwenkbar an einer auf der Türinnenseite befestigten Befestigungskonsole 124 angreift.The
In der Gehäusestirnwand 118 ist in einer weiter von der Tragwand 14 beabstandeten Durchgangsöffnung 126 ein Auswerferstößel 128 mit einer flachen langgestreckten, in geschlossenem Zustand des Türflügels 12 an der Innenseite des Türflügels anliegenden Druckfläche angeordnet.In the

Von diesen zusätzlichen Schwenkpositionen bezeichnet die mit b gekennzeichnete Position eine Lage, in welcher Türflügel 12 durch Ausübung eines Drucks auf seine Vorderseite um einen geringen Winkel zusätzlich in Richtung des Korpusinneren gedrängt ist. Dabei drängt der Türflügel 12 ein ebenfalls aus der vorderen Stirnfläche 118a des Gehäuses 118 der Öffnungsvorrichtung vortretendes Druckstück 131 einer im Gehäuse 118 angeordneten Auslösereinheit 130 ins Gehäuseinnere, welche dann in der nachstehend noch in Verbindung mit den

Das Gehäuse 118 kann entlang der anderen Begrenzungskanten der Deckwände 118b und 118c ebenfalls durch hochgekantete streifenförmige Blechabschnitte ringsum geschlossen sein. In
Zwischen den Deckwänden 118b, 118c ist im Gehäuse 118 ein doppelarmiger Hebelbauteil 138 um eine senkrechte Achse verschwenkbar gelagert, dessen Hebelarme 138a, 138b jeweils in entgegengesetzte Richtung zu den schmaleren Seitenwänden des Gehäuses 118 weisen. Im Endbereich des Hebelarms 138a ist der Auswerferstößel 128 über einen vom Hebelarm 138a abgewinkelten Ansatz 138c verschwenkbar und in begrenztem Maß zusätzlich seitlich verschieblich angekoppelt. Der als flacher Plattenbauteil ausgeführte Auswerferstößel ist mit seiner zum Türflügel weisenden ebenflächigen Druckfläche 128a zwischen den Deckwänden 118b, 118c in der Durchgangsöffnung 126 geführt. Die bereits erwähnte unter Druckvorspannung stehende Feder 132 beaufschlagt den Hebelarm 138a im Sinne einer den Auswerferstößel 128 aus der Durchgangsöffnung 126 herausschiebenden Verschwenkbewegung bis zur Anlage des Hebelarm 138a an der Innenseite der Seitenwand 118a.Between the
Neben dem freien Ende des Hebelarms 138a ist im Gehäuse 118 ein als Schwenkhebel 140 ausgebildeter Riegelbauteil angeordnet, welcher an seinem dem freien Ende des Hebelarms 138a zugewandten freien Ende einen Riegelvorsprung 140a aufweist, der in der zurückgezogenen Sperrposition des Auswerferstößels 128 das freie Ende des Hebelbauteils 138a untergreift und den Hebelbauteil so entgegen der auf ihn wirkenden Vorspannung der Feder 132 in der zurückgezogenen Sperrposition fixiert.In addition to the free end of the lever arm 138a, a
Der Schwenkhebel 140 ist im Bereich seines dem schwenklagerseitigen Ende gegenüberliegenden Endes über ein langgestrecktes Zug-/Druckorgan 142 mit dem freien Ende eines Hebelarmes 144a eines Winkelhebels 144 gekoppelt. Der Winkelhebel 144 ist Teil der bereits erwähnten Auslöseeinheit 130. Der zweite Hebelarm144b des Winkelhebels ist mit einer langgestreckten u unter Druckvorspannung in Richtung aus dem Gehäuse 118 heraus gedrängte Position vorspannten Stößel 146 gekoppelt, an dessen winkelhebelabgewandten freiem Ende das um ein geringes Maß von der Vorderseite der Seitenwand vortretende Druckstücks 131 befestigt ist.The
Durch Eindrücken des Druckstücks 131 ins Gehäuseinnere kann der Winkelhebel 144 über den am Hebelarm 144b angreifenden Stößel 146 so verschwenkt werden, dass der Hebelarm 144a des Winkelhebels über das Zug-/Druckorgan 142 den Schwenkhebel 140 verschwenkt, wobei der Riegelvorsprung 140a des Schwenkhebels aus seiner das freie Ende des Hebelarms 138a untergreifenden Position zurückgezogen wird. Aufgrund der Druckvorspannung der Feder 132 wird dann der Hebelbauteil 138 verschwenkt und der am Hebelarm 138a angekoppelte Auswerferstößel 128 aus der zurückgezogenen Sperrposition nach außen gedrängt. Die an der Innenseite des geschlossenen Türflügels 12 anliegende Druckfläche 128a des Auswerferstößels 128 verschwenkt den Türflügel in die in
Der Hebelarm 138b des doppelarmigen Hebelbauteils 138 arbeitet mit der bereits erwähnten Spann- und Arretiervorrichtung 134 zusammen, welche einen in einem im Gehäuse angeordneten Führungsgehäuse 148 parallel zur Korpus-Tragwand 14 horizontal verschieblich geführten flachen Schieber 150 aufweist, in dessen türflügelseitigem vorderen Endbereich ein Ende des Stangenbauteils 122 verschwenkbar und über ein vorgegebenes Maß längsverschieblich angekoppelt ist. Das andere Ende des Stangenbauteils 122 ist - wie früher erwähnt - an der auf der Türflügel-Innenseite befestigten Befestigungskonsole angelenkt. Beim Öffnen des Türflügels 12 aus der Schließstellung in die Öffnungsstellung werden über den Stangenbauteil 122 also die Schwenkbewegungen des Türflügels auf den Schieber 150 übertragen, d. h. der Schieber wird aus der in das Führungsgehäuse 148 eingeschobenen Position (
Im Schieber 150 ist eine über den größeren Teil ihrer Länge im Wesentlichen geradlinig in Schieberausziehrichtung verlaufende Steuernut 152 eingearbeitet, welche an ihrem korpusäußeren Vorderende abgerundet in einen kurzen rechtwinklig zum geradlinigen Bereich verlaufenden Endabschnitt 152a übergeht. In die Steuernut greift ein von der Unterseite einer verschwenkbar am Führungsgehäuse 148 gelagerte segmentförmige Steuerscheibe 154 vortretender Steuervorsprung 156 ein. Die der Schwenkachse der Steuerscheibel 54 gegenüberliegende äußere Segmentfläche 156a kommt beim Öffnen des Türflügels an einer Gegenfläche des Hebelarms 138b in Anlage, welche dann in ihrem Schwenkverhalten durch das Zusammenwirken des in die Steuernut 152 eingreifende Steuervorsprung 156 verschwenkt wird und den Hebelarm 138b im Sinne einer Verschwenkung des Hebelbauteils im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, wodurch der Hebelarm 138a des Hebelbauteils 138 den Auswerferstößel 128 ins Gehäuseinnere zurückzieht. In ganz zurückgezogener Sperrstellung des Auswerferstößels 128 tritt dann wieder der Riegelvorsprung 140a des Schwenkhebels 140 unter das freie Ende des Hebelarms 138a und der Auswerferstößel 128 ist in der zurückgezogenen Stellung verriegelt. Der Türflügel 12 kann dann aus der ganz geöffneten Position (

Es ist ersichtlich, dass im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedankens Abwandlungen und Weiterbildungen der beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Öffnungsvorrichtungen verwirklichbar sind. So ist die als gesondert zu montierende Baugruppe beschriebene Öffnungsvorrichtung des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels grundsätzlich auch mit den Scharnieren eines Schranks zusammenbaubar bzw. in die Scharniere integrierbar. Wesentlich ist dabei lediglich, dass der kinematische Aufbau so getroffen ist, dass der den Türflügel nach der Entriegelung der Sperrklinke aus der Rastvertiefung zu Beginn des Öffnungsvorgangs verschiebende Auswerferstößel bei der weiteren Verschwenkung in die ganz geöffnete Position über den am Türflügel angelenkten Stangenbauteil wieder in die zurückgezogene Position verschoben und in dieser Position selbsttätig verriegelt gehalten wird, bis der Rasteingriff der Sperrklinke durch bewusste Manipulation eines Benutzers wieder aufgehoben wird. Die Manipulation der Sperrklinke kann beispielsweise fembetätigt über einen Bowdenzug oder einer zu einem äußeren Betätigungselement geführten Druckoder Zugstange erfolgen. Alternativ ist auch eine elektrische Betätigung denkbar, bei welcher die Sperrklinke als Anker ausgebildet oder mit einem solchen Anker verbunden ist, welcher durch Anlegen einer Spannung in eine zugeordnete elektrische Spule angezogen wird. In diesem Zusammenhang kann dann sogar an eine drahtlose Fernauslösung der Ankerspule gedacht werden.It can be seen that within the scope of the inventive concept, modifications and developments of the described embodiments of the opening devices according to the invention can be realized. Thus, the opening device of the first embodiment described as a separate assembly to be assembled in principle with the hinges of a cabinet or integrated into the hinges. It is only essential that the kinematic structure is made so that the door wing after unlocking the pawl from the detent recess at the beginning of the opening operation moving ejector plunger in the further pivoting in the fully open position on the hinged on the door rod member back into the retracted Position shifted and held automatically locked in this position until the locking engagement of the pawl is canceled by deliberate manipulation of a user. The manipulation of the pawl can be done, for example, fembetätigt a Bowden cable or guided to an outer actuator pressure or drawbar. Alternatively, an electric actuator is conceivable in which the pawl is formed as an anchor or connected to such an anchor, which is attracted by applying a voltage in an associated electrical coil. In this context, even a wireless remote release of the armature coil can be thought of.
Auch beim zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel können Teile der bei der Öffnungsvorrichtung 10 durch das Zusammenwirken mechanischer Bauteile verwirklichten Funktionsgruppen durch elektrische bzw. elektronische Bauteile wie Näherungssensoren, Magnetanker-Bauteile etc. ersetzt werden.Also in the second embodiment, parts of the functional groups realized in the
