MOUNTING DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING AT LEAST ONE DOOR LEAF

Amounting device includes a support and a separate holding device. An installation device releasably secures the holding device to the support, and the holding device has at least two furniture hinges mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction of the holding device, and/or securing interfaces for securing furniture hinges. The door leaf can be supported on the holding device in an articulated manner by the furniture hinge, and the holding device includes a first mounting part, on which the at least two furniture hinges and/or securing interfaces are arranged, and a second mounting part to be arranged between the first mounting part and the support. The two mounting parts can be adjusted relative to each other, and the second mounting part can be adjusted relative to the support.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a mounting device for supporting at least one door leaf. The invention furthermore relates to a guide system for guiding at least one door leaf relative to a furniture carcass with at least one mounting device according to the invention, and to a piece of furniture with a furniture carcass and at least one door leaf with at least one guide system according to the invention.

Mounting devices for supporting at least one door leaf are already known. In the case of mounting devices known from the state of the art, it is often not possible to adjust a holding device. Accordingly, a door leaf arranged on the holding device via hinges is also not settable with respect to a furniture body.

The applicant's A 51143/2018 therefore proposes two setting devices, via which the holding device is settable relative to a support. The holding device can be set in a direction along and transverse to a longitudinal direction of the support via a first of the two setting devices and only transverse to the longitudinal direction of the support via a second of the two setting devices.

A disadvantage of such a solution according to the state of the art is that the holding device is not settable independently in a direction along and a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the support. Furthermore, the two setting devices cannot be actuated from one side, which makes a setting operation more difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to at least partially avoid the described disadvantages according to the state of the art and to specify a mounting device for supporting at least one door leaf that is improved compared with the state of the art, a guide system with such a mounting device, and a piece of furniture with such a guide system.

According to the invention, the at least one holding device comprises at least one first mounting part, on which the at least two furniture hinges and/or fastening interfaces are arranged, and at least one second mounting part, which can be or is arranged between the at least one first mounting part and the at least one support, wherein the two mounting parts are settable relative to one another and the at least one second mounting part is settable relative to the at least one support.

The holding device is thereby easily settable in a direction along and, independently thereof, in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the support.

A guide system according to the invention comprises at least one mounting device according to the invention, at least one, preferably at least two, support guide rail, and at least one guide device, via which the at least one support can be or is supported displaceable on the at least one support guide rail, preferably in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

With regard to a piece of furniture according to the invention, the piece of furniture has at least one guide system according to the invention, preferably wherein at least one shaft-shaped cavity is provided, in which the at least one door leaf can be sunk.

At least one, preferably precisely one, vertical setting device can preferably be provided, with which the at least one second mounting part is settable relative to the at least one support in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

Via the vertical setting device, it is thus possible to adjust the holding device, and therefore also the door leaf, relative to the at least one support substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device, thus substantially in a horizontal direction.

The door leaf can therefore be easily adapted to a furniture carcass or the like in a horizontal direction.

Preferably, at least one, preferably precisely two, lateral setting device is provided, with which the at least one first mounting part is settable relative to the at least one second mounting part in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

Via the lateral setting device, it is thus possible to adjust the at least one first mounting part of the holding device, and therefore also the door leaf, relative to the at least one second mounting part, and thus relative to the support, substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device, thus substantially in a vertical direction.

The door leaf can therefore be easily adapted to a furniture carcass or the like in a vertical direction.

An ideal compromise between a simple structure and the greatest possible stability during an adjustment operation is achieved in particular if precisely two lateral setting devices are provided.

It is advantageous if the vertical setting device and/or the lateral setting device in each case have at least one setting element, wherein all setting elements are actuatable from the same direction, preferably substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device.

This simplifies the actuation of the vertical and/or lateral setting device in an installed state of a device according to the invention. The actuation of the vertical and lateral setting devices is additionally made easier if the at least one setting element is formed screw-shaped and/or has a screw head drive.

In an embodiment of the invention, the at least one installation device comprises at least two screw connections. This represents an uncomplicated and cost-effective possibility for releasably fastening the holding device to the at least one support.

Advantageously, the at least one first mounting part is supported on the at least one second mounting part displaceable, preferably to a limited extent, in a direction substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the at least one holding device, preferably via at least one peg, which is supported in at least one elongated hole.

The at least one first mounting part, the at least one second mounting part, and/or the at least one support can be formed beam-shaped and/or strip-shaped.

With regard to a guide system according to the invention, at least one further guide rail can be provided, which can be or is arranged substantially transverse to the support guide rail, wherein at least one carriage is provided, with which a second door leaf, which is or can be connected in an articulated manner to the at least one door leaf, which can be arranged on the at least one support, can be or is supported on the at least one further guide rail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG.1ashows a perspective view of a piece of furniture200according to the invention in a first door position, with a furniture carcass101and a door leaf2movable relative thereto. A further door leaf2ais arranged on the door leaf2via door leaf hinges2b.

The door leaves2,2aare supported movable by a guide system100in each case between a first position, in which the door leaves2,2aare oriented substantially coplanar with respect to one another, and a second position, in which the door leaves2,2aare oriented substantially parallel to one another. In a second (parallel) position, the door leaves2,2acan be pushed into lateral cavities202of the furniture carcass101. The guide system100comprises a guide rail104, wherein a guide carriage104athat can be connected to the second door leaf2ais supported movable along the guide rail104.

It can be seen that the right-hand door leaves2,2aare in an angled position relative to one another. The door leaf2is supported, via three or more furniture hinges6, on a support3, which can be pushed along a support guide rail102, not visible, into the cavity in a depth direction (Z).

In the figure shown, the support3is in a transfer position, in which the support3adjoins the guide rail104, with the result that the guide carriage104acan be transferred back and forth between the guide rail104and the support3. In the transfer position shown, the support3is releasably locked to the guide rail104, wherein the locking between the guide rail104and the support3is releasable by entry of the guide carriage104ainto or onto the support3. The support3is formed in the shape of an elongate column, the length of which corresponds at least to half of the vertical of the door leaves2,2a.

FIG.1bshows the piece of furniture200with the door leaves2,2a, which are now in a fully pushed-in state in the cavity202. The door leaves2,2acan thus be transferred by the guide system100between a coplanar position and a second position according toFIG.1b, in which the door leaves2,2aare oriented substantially parallel to one another and can be received within the cavity202.

In this way, an interior201of the furniture carcass101, for example in the form of a kitchen, can be completely covered, with the result that the interior201can be visually separated from a remaining area of a living space. In the embodiment shown, the cavity202is formed by two side walls202a, wherein the door leaves2,2a, in a parallel position with respect to one another, can be pushed in between the side walls202a.

FIG.2ashows a perspective view of a holding device4according to the invention, andFIG.2bshows a partial exploded representation of a holding device4according to the invention in a perspective view.

A first mounting part4aand a second mounting part4bcan be seen. On the first mounting part4a, several furniture hinges6are arranged, on which in turn a door leaf2can be arranged. It can also be provided that the first mounting part4ahas, instead of the furniture hinges6, fastening interfaces for the fastening of furniture hinges6. The mounting part4ais supported displaceable on the mounting part4bvia elongated holes and pegs9, wherein the elongated holes10and pegs9simultaneously also limit a relative movement of the first mounting part4awith respect to the second mounting part4b.

Lateral setting devices8are arranged on the mounting part4a. The lateral setting devices8in each case have a housing8e, which protects the lateral setting devices8against external influences. Setting elements7c,8care accessible from outside the housing7e,8eand are actuatable from the same direction.

Via passage openings8f, an actuating element8b, not visible, of a lateral setting device8can engage in one of the slots8g. The lateral setting devices8are thereby connected to the second mounting part4b.

On the second mounting part4b, a vertical setting device7is arranged, which in turn comprises a housing7e. The second mounting part4bhas a passage opening7f, via which an actuating element7b, not visible, of the vertical setting device7can engage in a slot7gon the support3. The vertical setting device7is thereby connected to the support3.

The second mounting part4bfurthermore has a part of an installation device5, which is implemented in the form of screw connections. The installation device5can in principle be implemented by any suitable form of connection, for example by detent connectors.

FIG.3ashows an exploded representation of a lateral setting device8according to the invention, andFIG.3cshows an exploded representation of an adjustment mechanism of such a lateral setting device8.

The adjustment mechanism of the lateral setting device8substantially comprises a main element8a, an actuating element8b, guide elements8dand a setting element8c. The guide elements8dguide the actuating element8bduring a movement relative to the main element8a, with the result that the actuating element8bdoes not become jammed or the like.

In the present embodiment, the setting element8cis formed screw-shaped and has a screw head drive. A thread, not represented, on the setting element8cis in engagement with a thread, not represented, on the actuating element8b. The setting element8cis supported rotatable on the main element8a.

Through the threaded coupling of the setting element8cto the actuating element8b, a rotation of the setting element8cresults in a displacement of the actuating element8brelative to the main element8ain a direction parallel to a longitudinal extent of the setting element8c.

The actuating element8bcan thus be set relative to the main element8aby actuation of the setting element8c. The main element8ais arranged on the first mounting part4avia screws8h. Other types of connection, for example rivets, are also possible.

The protrusion8iof the actuating element8bis in engagement with a slot8gin the second mounting part4b. An actuation of the setting element8ctherefore also results in a displacement of the first mounting part4arelative to the second mounting part4b. The first mounting part4ais thus settable relative to the second mounting part4bby the lateral setting device8.

The adjustment mechanism of the lateral setting device8is arranged at least partially in a housing8e. The setting element8cis accessible from outside the housing.

FIG.3bshows an exploded representation of a vertical setting device8according to the invention, andFIG.3dshows an exploded representation of an adjustment mechanism of such a vertical setting device8.

The adjustment mechanism of the vertical setting device7substantially comprises a main element7a, an actuating element7b, guide elements7dand a setting element7c. The vertical setting device7furthermore has a deflection device11. The guide elements8dguide the actuating element8bduring a movement relative to the main element8a, with the result that the actuating element8bdoes not become jammed or the like.

In the present embodiment, the setting element7chas a screw head drive and a tooth system. Here, the tooth system is in engagement with a tooth system of a deflection drive11b. The two tooth systems form an angular gear mechanism11a. By means of the angular gear mechanism11a, a rotational movement of the setting element7cis deflected through 90° to the deflection drive11b. The deflection drive11bcan also be actuated directly via a screw head drive11don the deflection drive11b.

A thread, not represented, on the deflection drive11bis in engagement with a thread, not represented, on the actuating element7b. The setting element7cis supported rotatable on a deflection housing11c, which at least partially encloses the deflection device11, and on the main element7a.

Through the threaded coupling of the deflection drive11bto the actuating element7band the angular gear mechanism11a, a rotation of the setting element7cresults in a displacement of the actuating element7brelative to the main element7ain a direction transverse to a longitudinal extent of the setting element7c.

The actuating element7bcan thus be set relative to the main element7aby actuation of the setting element7c. The main element7ais arranged on the second mounting part4avia screws7h. Other types of connection, for example rivets, are also possible.

The protrusion7iof the actuating element7bis in engagement with a slot7gin the support3. An actuation of the setting element7ctherefore also results in a displacement of the second mounting part4brelative to the support3. The second mounting part4bis thus settable relative to the support3by the vertical setting device7.

The adjustment mechanism of the lateral setting device7is arranged at least partially in a housing7e. The setting element7cis accessible from outside the housing.
