Description

hinge

The invention relates to a hinge with an adjustable on a base plate hinge arm, with a joint adjusting screw or the like. and an adjusting device acting in the depth of the piece of furniture, the hinge arm being lockable on the base plate with a resilient snap-in mechanism and being held directly on the base plate at two bearing points offset over the length of the hinge arm or indirectly via an intermediate piece.

In conventional hinges, the hinge arm is fastened to the base plate by means of a clamping screw, this clamping screw generally protruding through an elongated hole, in order to make it possible to adjust the hinge arm in the depth of the furniture.

Recently, snap connections for fastening the hinge arm to the base plate have also become known. For example, DE-A-30 26 796 and 30 39 328 show hinges with a hinge arm and a fastening plate, in which, by inserting the hinge arm into a guide of the fastening plate and displacing it in the longitudinal direction, the two parts to be locked snap together. A similar anchoring of a hinge arm on a base plate is shown in DE-A-24 60 127. The

DE-A-32 41 284 shows a hinge in which the hinge arm can be inserted into lateral guides of a base plate and clamped on the base plate by means of an eccentric.

The hinge arm anchorages described above have the advantage that the hinge arm is very quickly fixed on the base plate when the furniture is being assembled can be and that furthermore no tools are needed for assembly. This advantage should not be underestimated, since the door leaf must be held when the hinge arms are attached. If, for example, the door leaf is held with one hand and the hinge arm to be put in place with the other, then if the hinge arm is locked by means of a clamping screw, in many cases a second person is required to tighten the clamping screw with a screwdriver.

A disadvantage of the hinges, in which the hinge arm or the intermediate piece can be inserted into the base plate from the front, is that it can easily tilt. This is particularly the case with tall doors that have many hinges. In most cases, the hinge arm must be moved almost over the entire length of the base plate.

The object of the invention is to improve a hinge with a resilient latching lock, in which a depth adjustment of the hinge arm is possible when the hinge arm is placed on the base plate, in that it is simple in construction and the hinge arm is easily placed on the base plate and by this can be solved again.

This is achieved according to the invention in that the hinge arm at the first bearing point by means of an anchoring part can be positively hooked into the base plate or the intermediate piece and rotated about this bearing point, while at the second bearing point there is at least one resilient locking projection, so that the hinge arm and the base plate is held together by a trap. An embodiment of the invention provides that the hinge arm is rotatably mounted in the end of the base plate, which faces the hinge joint, by means of the joint adjustment screw, the joint adjustment screw forming the pivot bearing together with projections of the base plate, and that on the hinge arm and / or the base plate a resilient or spring-loaded retaining clip is provided which holds the hinge arm end which can be pivoted about the pivot bearing of the hinge arm by latching into a second retaining clip or a stop part of the corresponding hinge part.

A retaining clip is advantageously provided, which is held by means of a clamping screw on the hinge arm, which has two webs which are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the hinge, one of which engages in a groove in the base plate, while the other has a slot or the like. has, in which a web of the second retaining clip protrudes, which is held in the base plate.

An embodiment of the invention provides that the second retaining clip has a resilient, bent double web, with which it is inserted in a clamping manner in the base plate.

It is advantageous if the double web rests in the base plate on three surfaces which are arranged in a triangle in the cross section of the base plate.

A further exemplary embodiment of the invention provides that the retaining clip held on the hinge arm by means of the clamping screw has lateral retaining clips which engage in lateral grooves in the base plate, the grooves advantageously facing the front end face or obliquely towards the front run out to the top surface of the base plate and the retaining clip has a stop tab which resiliently abuts the rear end surface of the base plate or a corresponding projection.

In one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the holding clip held on the hinge arm by means of the clamping screw hooks into a projection of the base plate projecting to the rear.

It is advantageously provided that the retaining clip has a longitudinal slot through which the clamping screw protrudes, which is supported in a nut thread of the base plate, and that the elongated slot in the retaining clip is open and thus forms two legs which have knobs on the outside, which in recesses in the Snap the side bars of the hinge arm into place.

Another embodiment of the invention provides that the retaining clip is a spring-loaded slide, which is guided in guides of the base plate and has a hole through which a pin attached to the hinge arm projects, which has a lateral groove in which the slide clicks into place with its edge.

Another embodiment of the invention provides that the trap has a tilting part rotatably mounted on the intermediate piece.

It is advantageously provided that the rocker arm opposite the resilient projection has a nose which presses on the base plate when the rocker arm is unlocked.

In order to obtain a particularly tight fit of the hinge arm on the base plate, it can be provided that the clamping screw for the depth adjustment arranged between the first and the second bearing point has a centering projection which projects into a corresponding opening in the base plate.

In the figures of the drawings, the parts of the hinge which do not directly belong to the invention, such as the hinge cup and the articulated lever, are not shown; they can be produced in any manner according to the known prior art.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 5, a resilient retaining clip 3 is inserted into the base plate 2. The holding clip 3 has a double web 3 ' on, which rests on the triangular pressure surfaces 2 'of the base plate 2 and is thus compressed. The hold of the retaining clip 3 in the base plate 2 is therefore relatively strong.

The hinge arm 1 is at the front, i.e. provided at its end facing the articulated lever in a conventional manner with a joint adjustment screw 7 which is supported in a nut thread in the hinge arm 1 and is held with its head 7 ′ behind projections 8 of the base plate 2. The joint adjustment screw 7 can be tilted in the recess 9 which delimit the projections 8.

At the rear end, the hinge arm 1 has a tab 10 punched out of its central web, in which there is a longitudinal slot 11 which is open to the rear and through which a clamping screw 6 projects. A holding clamp 13 is held by the clamping screw 6. This retaining clip 13 has a web 13 'which engages with its edge in a groove 12 in the base plate 2. The groove 12 and the edge of the web 13 'are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the hinge.

Opposite the web 13 ', i.e. facing the rear end of the hinge arm 1, the holding clip 13 has a web 13 ", which is provided with a slot 14. The web 3" of the retaining clip 3 projects into the slot 14 in the installed position.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, when installing the hinge arm 1, the hinge arm 1 with the joint adjusting screw 7 is inserted into the recess 9 and then tilted in the direction of arrow A around the head 7 'of the joint adjusting screw 7 as a pivot bearing, as a result of which the retaining clip 13 on the retaining clip 3 is pressed. In the final assembly position, the web 3 ″ of the clip 3 engages in the slot 14 of the web 13 ″ of the holding clip 3 and, as already stated, the free edge of the web 13 ′ of the holding clip 13 projects into the groove 12 of the base plate 2. The Hinge arm 1 is thus securely anchored on the base plate 2. If an adjustment is to be made in the direction of the furniture door, it is sufficient to twist the joint adjustment screw 7 in a conventional manner. The hinge arm 1 can adapt to any angular position due to the flexibility of the flap 10 .

To adjust the hinge arm 1 in the depth of the furniture, the clamping screw 6 is loosened, whereupon the hinge arm 1 can be moved over the length of the elongated hole 11 or over the depth of the recess 9. After the setting, the clamping screw 6 is tightened again.

In order to detach the hinge arm 1 from the base plate 2, it is sufficient to push back the web 3 ″ of the holding clip 3 by means of a screwdriver

The clamping screw 6 is loosened and the hinge arm 1 is pulled off to the front.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 7, only one holding clip 15 is used. At the front end, as in the previously described exemplary embodiment, the hinge arm is provided with a joint adjustment screw 7, the head 7 'of which projects into a recess 9 which is delimited by projections 8.

The hinge arm 1 is in turn provided at its rear end with a slot 11 which is open to the rear. The base plate 2 has lateral grooves 16 in the rear area, which run out towards the front and towards the top surface 2 "of the base plate 2. Above the lateral grooves 16, the base plate 2 is provided with inclined surfaces 17 which diverge from the mounting plane 2"'of the base plate 2 . The holding clip 15 has holding brackets 18 on the side, which snap into the grooves 16 of the base plate 2 when the hinge arm 1 is mounted. Furthermore, the holding clip 15 is provided with a resilient web 19 which, when the hinge arm 1 is mounted, lies against the top surface 2 ″ of the base plate 2 and presses on it.

The holding clip 15 also has a stop tab 20 which bears on the rear end face of the base plate 2. Above the stop tab 20, a grip part 21 is formed on the holding clip 15 or from the

Holding clip 15 punched out. As in the previously described exemplary embodiment, the holding clip 15 is fastened to the hinge arm 1 by means of a clamping screw 6.

To assemble the hinge arm 1, it is anchored to the base plate 2 by means of the joint adjustment screw 7, which is inserted into the recess 9, and then rotated in the direction of arrow A, as in the exemplary embodiment described above. The bracket 18 slide laterally over the inclined surfaces 17 and snap into the lateral grooves 16 of the base plate 2. Because the resilient web 19 presses on the base plate 2, the hinge arm 1 is fixed without play.

The adjustment of the hinge arm 1 in the direction of the furniture door and the depth of the furniture is carried out as in the previously described embodiment by turning the joint adjusting screw 7 or Open the clamping screw 6 and move the hinge arm 1.

If the hinge arm 1 is to be lifted off the base plate 2, either the clamping screw 6 can be loosened, whereupon the hinge arm 1 is pulled out, or the grip part 21 is pressed forward, whereby the stop tab 20 is lifted off the end face of the base plate 2. Then the hinge arm 1 can be pulled obliquely upwards and forwards out of the base plate 2 along the grooves 16.

In the following exemplary embodiments, only the rear anchoring of the hinge arm 1 on the base plate 2 is referred to. In all cases, the front anchorage by means of the joint adjustment screw 7, which snaps into the recess 9 delimited by projections 8, is the same. In all cases, the hinge arm 1 is also mounted on the base plate 2 by first hanging the hinge arm 1 into the base plate 2 with the joint adjusting screw 7, then turning it in the direction of arrow A and pressing it onto the base plate 2.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 8, a holding clamp 22 is held by the clamping screw 6, which in turn protrudes through a slot 11 of the hinge arm 1 which is open to the rear, which engages behind a projection 23 of the base plate 2 which projects to the rear and, when the hinge arm 1 is mounted, behind it Tab 23 hooks.

A grip part 24 is formed on the holding clip 22, by means of which the bracket 25 of the holding clip 22 can be pressed away from the projection 23 in order to detach the hinge arm 1 from the base plate 2. To mount the hinge arm 1, it is sufficient to fasten it with the press clip 22 onto the base plate 2. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 9, the hinge arm 1 is provided with a holding clip 26, and a holding clip 27 is fastened on the base plate 2. When the hinge arm 1 is mounted, the holding clip 26 is pressed onto the holding clip 27, engages behind a bar 27 'of the holding clip 27 with a bar 26' and, on the other hand, presses with a bar 26 "onto a bar 27" of the holding clip 27. In this way, again a achieved firm hold of the hinge arm 1 on the base plate 2.

The holding clip 26 is provided with a grip part 28, which is formed by a punched-out tab. With the handle part 28, the web 26 'can be lifted from the web 27' of the retaining clip 27 and the hinge arm 1 can be moved freely with respect to the base plate 2.

The holding clip 26 is attached to the hinge arm 1 by means of an eccentric 29. By turning the eccentric 29, the hinge arm 1 is adjusted in the depth of the furniture. The retaining clip 27 is held by the screw 6.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 10, a holding clamp 30 is fastened on the base plate 2 by means of the clamping screw 6. The hinge arm 1 has recesses 31, 32 and webs 33 which protrude from side web to side web of the hinge arm 1, which is essentially designed with a U-profile.

The holding clip 30 has sections 34, 35 projecting upwards, the section 35 being directed obliquely to the hinge arm 1. When installing the hinge arm 1, this is in turn pressed onto the holding bracket 30 about the pivot bearing formed by the joint adjusting screw 7 and engages with its webs 33 behind the sections 34, 35 of the holding bracket 30.

The retaining clip 30 is provided with a longitudinal slot 36 so that the adjustment of the hinge arm 1 in the direction of the depth of the furniture can be done in a conventional manner by loosening the clamping screw 6, whereupon the hinge arm 1 over the length of the longitudinal slot 36 or the depth of the Recess 9 can be moved.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 11 and 12, the holding clamp 37 is in turn fastened on the base plate 2 by means of the clamping screw 6. The holding clip 37 is provided with an open slot 38 and thus has two legs 39. The outside of the leg 39 are trained and educated studs 40 which engage in the assembled hinge arm 1 ^* in recesses 41 of the hinge arm. 1 The recesses 41 are, for example, rectangular holes. The hinge arm 1 has at its rear end webs 42 which are encompassed by the knobs 40 when the hinge arm 1 has been pivoted onto the base plate 2. The holding clip 37 is resilient so that the legs 39 can be pressed together, as a result of which the webs 42 are released. The hinge arm 1 can then be pulled off the base plate 2. The adjustment in the depth of the furniture is possible through the slot 38.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 13 and 14, the holding clip 43 is designed as a slide which is guided in guides 44 of the base plate 2. The slide 43 is acted upon by a helical spring 45 which is located in a housing of the base plate 2. A pin 46, which has an annular groove 47, is attached to the hinge arm 1 by means of the clamping screw 6. The clamping screw 6 in turn protrudes through a slot 11 which is open to the rear in the hinge arm 1.

The holding clip 43 formed by the slide has one

Keyhole 48 through which the pin 46 protrudes when the hinge arm 1 is mounted. At the rear end, the holding clip 43 is provided with a handle 49. The holding clip 43 also has a further longitudinal slot 50 through which a fastening screw for the base plate 2 protrudes.

When pivoting the hinge arm 1 on the base plate 2, the retaining clip 43 is either pushed back manually against the spring 45 so that the pin 46 can be inserted through the keyhole 48, or the pin 46 has a truncated cone-like configuration at its free end, which the retaining clip 43 pushes back by itself. If the pin 46 is in the position shown in FIG. 13, the spring 45 can insert the retaining clip 43 with the edges of the keyhole 48 into the annular groove 47 of the pin 46, whereupon the hinge arm 1 is held firmly and securely on the base plate 2.

The adjustment of the hinge arm 1 in the direction of the furniture door or in the direction of the depth of the furniture is the same as in the previously described exemplary embodiments.

To release the hinge arm 1, the holding clip 43 is pressed forward over the handle part 49, whereupon the pin 46 is pivoted out of the keyhole opening 48. Of course it would also be possible loosen the clamping screw 6 and pull out the hinge arm 1 between the clamping screw 6 and the pin 46.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 15, the holding clip 22 hooks into the projection 23 of the base plate 2.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 16 to 18, the holding clip 22 engages behind the projection 23 on the back of the base plate 2 and projects into a groove 12. At the rear end of the base plate 2, a pawl 51 is rotatably mounted on an axis 53. The pawl 51 is provided with a stop 52.

The hinge arm 1 is mounted on the base plate 2 as in the previously described embodiment, i.e. hooked into the base plate 2 with the joint adjustment screw 7 and then pivoted so that the retaining clip 22 snaps into the projection 23.

The adjustment of the hinge in the direction of the furniture depth and in the direction of the width of the furniture door is carried out in the same way as in the previously described exemplary embodiments.

To release the hinge arm 1, the pawl 51 is pushed upwards, as shown in FIG. 18, as a result of which the leg of the holding clip 22 is pressed off by the projection 23. The hinge arm 1 is thus free.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 19 to 23, the parts of the hinge essential to the invention are the

Hinge arm 1, the base plate 2 and the intermediate piece 4 with the tilting part 5. The hinge arm 1 is fastened to the intermediate piece 4 by means of the joint adjustment screw 7, which is supported in a nut thread in the hinge arm 1 and by means of a clamping screw 6, which also serves for the depth adjustment. The clamping screw 6 protrudes through a longitudinal slot in the hinge arm 1 and likewise the joint adjusting screw 7 is held with its head 7 'in a recess in the intermediate piece 4 which is designed as an open longitudinal slot 9. By loosening the clamping screw 6, the hinge arm 1 can be moved along the length of the longitudinal slot and thus adjusted in the depth of the furniture. The adjustment in the direction of the furniture door is carried out in a conventional manner by turning the joint adjustment screw 7.

Both the base plate 2 and the intermediate piece 4 are designed with a U-profile and their legs 2 ', 4' project into one another when the hinge arm 1 is placed on the base plate 2.

At the front, the intermediate piece 4 is provided with a continuous pin 63, which serves as a holding projection of the intermediate piece 4. The webs 2 'of the base plate 2 have notches 53 into which the pin 63 can be inserted, so that it is held behind the edge projections of the webs 2'.

The pin 63 and the notches 53 fulfill the task of the joint adjustment screw 7 and the recess 9 of the previously described exemplary embodiments.

At the rear end, the base plate 2 is also provided with notches 54.

At the rear end of the intermediate piece 4, the tilting part 5 is supported by means of a pin 64. The resilient holding projection 57, which in turn is formed on the tilting part 5 is formed by a pin.

The tilting part 5 is acted upon by a leg spring 64, which is wound around the bearing pin of the tilting part 5 and is supported with one leg 64 'on the intermediate piece 4 and with the other leg 64 "on the pin 57.

If the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 4 is now pressed from the position shown in FIG. 19 into the position shown in FIG. 20, the pin 57 engages in the notch 54 and the hinge arm 1 is anchored on the base plate 2.

The adjustment of the hinge arm 1, if necessary, is carried out in the manner described above.

A cover cap 65 can be provided on the hinge arm 1, which covers the clamping screw 6 and the joint adjustment screw 7 after adjustment.

A handle part 5 'is formed on the tilting part 5. If the hinge arm 1 is to be detached from the base plate 2, it is sufficient to press this grip part 5 ', whereupon the pin 57 disengages from the notch 54 and the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 4 can be lifted off the base plate 2.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 24 to 26, a leaf spring 50 is held on the intermediate piece 4, namely clamped between the intermediate piece 4 and the hinge arm 1. The connection between the intermediate piece 4, leaf spring 50 and hinge arm 1 is made via an eccentric 66, which also enables a depth adjustment of the hinge arm 1.

In the front area, the hinge arm 1 is anchored, as in the previously described exemplary embodiments, by means of the joint distributing screw 7, which projects with its head 7 ′ through an open slot in the intermediate piece 4. The open slot forms the recess 9.

The adjustment of the hinge arm 1 in the direction of the furniture door or the depth of the furniture is carried out in each case by turning the joint adjustment screw 7 or the eccentric 66.

At the front, the intermediate piece 4 has hooks 67 with which the intermediate piece 4 can be suspended in a bearing pin 68 of the base plate 2. The hooks 67 and the bearing pin 68 form the rigid retaining projections on the intermediate piece 4 and on the base plate 2.

The leaf spring 50 has an angled section 69 which, when the hinge arm 1 is pressed onto the base plate 2, comprises a bearing pin 70. The angled part 69 forms the resilient holding projection of the intermediate piece 4.

As in the previously described embodiments, it is sufficient to hang the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 4 with the hooks 67 in the bearing pin 68 and then to pivot in the direction of arrow A and to press on the base plate 2, whereupon the leaf spring 50 the rear part the hinge arm 1 holds clamped on the bearing pin 70.

In order to be able to easily detach the hinge arm 1 from the base plate 2, the leaf spring 50 has a punched-out one Tab 52 on which, for example, a screwdriver can engage in order to press the angled section 69 down from the bearing pin 70.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 27 to 29, the intermediate piece is formed by the leaf spring 60. The leaf spring 60 is in turn held on the hinge arm 1 by means of a clamping screw 6 and a joint adjusting screw 7, the clamping screw 6 protruding through a slot 11 of the hinge arm 1 that is open to the rear, and the joint adjusting screw 7 with its head 7 ′ through a slot of the leaf spring that is open at the front 60, which forms the recess 9, so that a depth adjustment of the fire corn 1 is possible.

The base plate 2 has hook-like, rectified projections 71. The hinge arm 1, which has a U-profile, is provided at its rear end with a bearing pin 72, by means of which it can be hung under the hook 71 or the hook 71 at the rear end of the base plate 2. The bearing pin 72 and the rear hook 71 of the base plate 2 form the rigid holding projections of the hinge.

In the front area, the leaf spring 60 is provided with an angled section 73 which, when the hinge arm 1 is pressed onto the base plate 2, engages under the front projections 71 of the base plate 2, by means of which the hinge arm 1 is in turn anchored on the base plate 2.

The leaf spring 60 advantageously has a recess 74 in the angled region 73.

The leaf spring 60 also has a V-shaped section 75, the leg 76 of which presses against a counter surface 77 on the base plate 2. The embodiment of FIGS. 30 to 32 will be described below.

The hinge arm 1 is in turn attached to the intermediate piece 4 by means of a joint adjusting screw 7 which is supported in a nut thread in the hinge arm 1 and by means of a clamping screw 6 which also serves for the depth adjustment. The clamping screw 6 protrudes through a longitudinal slot in the hinge arm 1 and likewise the joint adjustment screw 7 is held with its head 7 ′ in a longitudinal slot in the intermediate piece 4. The longitudinal slot forms the recess 9. By loosening the clamping screw 6, the hinge arm 1 can be displaced over the length of the longitudinal slot in the hinge arm 1 and thus adjusted in the depth of the furniture. The adjustment in the direction of the furniture door is carried out in a conventional manner by turning the joint adjustment screw 7.

Both the hinge arm 1 and the intermediate piece 4 are designed with a U-profile.

At the front, the intermediate piece 4 is provided with a continuous pin 63, which serves as a holding projection of the intermediate piece 4. The base plate 2 has a notch 53 in the front, into which the pin 63 can be suspended, so that it is held on the base plate 2.

At the rear end, the base plate 2 is also provided with a notch 54.

The rocker arm 5 is supported at the rear end of the intermediate piece 4. The hook-like projection 57 is formed on the rocker arm 5.

The rocker arm 5 is acted upon by a helical spring 58, which is mounted in a recess in the rocker arm 5 and is supported with one end on the hinge arm 1.

If the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 4 is now pressed from the position shown in FIG. 30 into the position shown in FIG. 31, the hook-like projection 57 engages in the notch 54 and the hinge arm 1 is anchored on the base plate 2.

The clamping screw 6 for the depth adjustment has a centering projection 55 which projects into a corresponding opening 56 in the base plate 2. The centering projection 55 is a cone and the opening 56 is funnel-shaped. In this way, the hinge arm 1 is immediately correctly positioned.

The distances between the pin 63 and the centering lug 55 on the one hand and the notch 53 and the opening 56 on the other hand are, as already mentioned, chosen so that a slight tensioning occurs when the intermediate piece 4 is pressed on. As a result, the intermediate piece 4 is held on the base plate 2 without play.

A handle part 5 'is formed on the tilting part 5. If the hinge arm 1 is to be detached from the base plate 2, it suffices to raise this grip part 5 ', whereupon the projection 57 disengages from the notch 54 and the hinge arm 1 with the intermediate piece 4 can be lifted off the base plate 2.

This release is facilitated by the nose 62 on the rocker arm 5. As can be seen from FIG. 32, the nose 62 presses on the base plate 2 and acts like a lever. In this way it is possible to center the 55th easy to solve despite the tension.

To adjust the height of the hinge arm 1, the clamping screw 6 is loosened and the upper part 2 'of the base plate 2 is displaced at the lower part 2 ". The guide 59 prevents the hinge arm 1 from tilting. After the height adjustment has taken place, the clamping screw 6 is tightened.

The terms "top" and "bottom" used in the course of the description refer to the figures in the drawing and not to the position of the hinge mounted on the furniture.

All of the exemplary embodiments have in common that the hinge arm is hooked directly or indirectly onto the base plate at one end and is then rotated about this pivot bearing, whereupon the other end snaps into a latch-like locking.

In most of the exemplary embodiments, the hinge arm is hooked in at the end which faces the joint or the joint levers. In principle, it would also be possible to reverse the anchorage, i.e. to provide the pivot bearing at the rear end of the hinge arm and the snap-in device at the end which carries the articulated lever.
