The invention concerns a hinge with a hinge cup which can be inserted into a boring in a furniture part, with a damper housing fixed onto the hinge cup.
Hinges fitted with a damper which brakes furniture doors during closing are known in the art from EP 1 199 433 A2, from the Austrian utility model AT 005 477 U1 and the German utility models DE 201 15 250 U and DE 202 05 905 U. The problem addressed by the present invention is to create a hinge with a damper such that the damper can be used universally.
The problem is solved by the fact that the damper housing can be fastened onto or removably secured to the hinge cup so that the damper housing is disposed at least partially outside the boring when the hinge cup is inserted into the boring in the furniture part.
Advantageously, the damper housing can be disposed entirely outside the boring when the hinge cup is inserted into the boring in the furniture part.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the hinge cup has a flange abutting on the furniture doors and the damper housing is anchored on the flange of the hinge cup.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with the aid of the figures in the attached drawings, wherein:
In the embodiment shown in
As shown in
The slider 14 moves (is displaced) in a recess 35 in the second housing part 13 and is acted upon by a pressure spring 28. On the end of the slider 14 which projects out of the damper housing 9, the slider 14 has a roller body 18 which rolls away along the hinge arm 4 when the furniture door 7 is closing.
The rotary piston 12 turns (rotates) on an axle 19. At the other end of the axle 19 is a pinion 20, which in the installation position is located in a recess 36 of the slider 14 and meshes with the toothed rack profile 16 of the insertion element 15. Thus, the slider 14 is linked to the rotary piston 12 via the axle 19 and pinion 20.
A wing 22 of the rotary piston 12 has a valve which is formed by an opening 23 in the wing 22 and a leaf spring 24. If the rotary piston 12 is rotated in the direction of damping, the leaf spring 24 closes off the opening 23 in the wing 22, and the damping fluid is pressed through the gap between the tip 25 of the wing 22 and the wall 26 of the cylinder chamber 11 in the damper housing 9. As a result, the desired damping effect is produced. When the furniture door 7 is opened, the rotary piston 12 is rotated in the opposite direction, whereupon the leaf spring 24 opens (i.e., moves away from opening 23) so as to clear the opening 23. Therefore, the damping fluid can also flow through the opening 23. The pressure spring 28 thereby slides the slider 14 back into the ready position.
The damper housing 9 or the housing element 10 respectively is equipped with a cover 27.
An example of a connection means for detachably attaching the damper housing 9 of the damper 1 to the hinge cup 3 is described below. As shown in
Since hinge arms 4 can have various forms (for example, there are also cranked hinge arms 4), an attachment 17 can be attached to the hinge arm 4, as shown in
The attachment is equipped, for example, with lugs 33, while the hinge arm 4 has holes 34, so that if necessary the attachment 17 can easily be pressed onto the hinge arm 4.
