Abstract

A guide fitting, guiding a body part for simultaneous translational and rotational movement relative to a stationary base, has a guide cam track, a guide element guided in the at least one guide cam track, and a linear guide with at least one guide rail and a running rail displaceable relative thereto, one of which is coupled in a stationary manner to the guide element and the other of which is coupled to the guide cam track by a pivot bearing. The guide cam track or the guide element can be fixedly fastened to the body part. The fitting also includes at least one ejection device with an unlockable force accumulator drives the body part from at least one end position by exerting force against an ejection direction along a limited path, and at least one activator for unlocking the force accumulator of the ejection device.

Dependent claims

A guide fitting configured to guide movement of a body part mounted for simultaneous translational and rotational movement relative to a stationary base, the guide fitting comprising:

a guide cam track;
a guide element guided in the guide cam track;
a linear guide with a first connecting part and a second connecting part, wherein the second connecting part is movable relative to the first connecting part, wherein one of the first and second connecting parts is coupled in a stationary manner to the guide element and the other one of the first and second connecting parts is coupled to the guide cam track by a pivot bearing, wherein the guide cam track or the guide element is configured to be fixedly attached to the body part;
at least one ejection device with an unlockable force accumulator, wherein the at least one ejection device is configured to drive the body part from at least one end position by exerting force counter to an ejection direction along a limited distance;
and
at least one activator configured to unlock the unlockable force accumulator of the ejection device,
wherein the linear guide consists of two guide rails aligned parallel to one another and running rails, roller carriages, or racks displaceable relative to the two guide rails.
