Abstract
A closing device is employed in an article of furniture having furniture components including a furniture body and a drawer for moving the drawer to a fully inserted position within the furniture body. The closing device includes a pin member fixed to one of the furniture components and a tiltable member mounted on the other of the furniture components for displacement relative thereto in opposite first and second directions. The pin member and the tiltable members are engaged when the drawer is in the fully inserted position. Upon the drawer being moved in the direction outwardly of the furniture body, the tiltable member displaces relative to the other furniture component in the first direction. A spring acts on the tiltable member and the other furniture component to urge relative displacement therebetween in the second direction. When the pin and tiltable members are in engagement, the spring urges the drawer to move in a direction inwardly of the furniture body to the fully inserted position. When the tiltable member displaces relative to the other furniture component against the force of the spring means in the first direction to a predetermined relative position, the tiltable member is caused to tilt in a first pivot direction about an axis to a locking position whereat the tiltable member is locked to the other furniture component and engagement between the pin member and the tiltable member is released.
Description
- 20 t 3633 CLOSING DEVICE FOR MOVING A DRAWER TO A FULLY INSERTED
POSITION WITHIN A FURNITURE BODY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a closing device, for use in an article of furniture having furniture components including a furniture body and a drawer slidable in opposite directions into and out of the furniture body, for moving the drawer to a fully inserted position within the furniture body. The present invention also relates to an article of furniture including the furniture body and the drawer and incorporating such closing device.
Modern drawers normally are provided with pull-out guide assemblies on each of opposite sides of the drawer, each such pull-out guide assembly including a supporting rail on the furniture body and a pull-out rail on the drawer. The pull-out guide assemblies are designed to ensure that the movement of the drawer into and out of the furniture body will be as easy and as smooth as possible.
Conventionally, rollers, balls or slides are provided for transmitting the load of the drawer from the pull-out rails to the supporting rails of the furniture body. Such arrangements are adapted to the requirements of a particular drawer with respect to smoothness of operation and loading capacity.
- 20 ~ 3633 It has been found that a drawer that has been moved to a closed position sometimes will not be in its fully closed or rear end position, i.e. fully inserted into the furniture body, such that a front plate or end of the drawer projects from the furniture body. As a result, it is possible for persons to bump against the front of the drawer, and consequently damage to the drawer or injury to such persons may occur. Projection of the front plate of the drawer from the`front of the furniture body may occur when the drawer has been pushed into the furniture body without care or not to the full extent. Also, when the drawer has been pushed into the furniture body with too much energy, the drawer may again roll forwardly or rebound because of such excessive energy.
A closing device for a drawer is disclosed in British patent specification 1,117,071, wherein there is provided a tilting member or part which is movable between two end positions. The tilting member is acted upon by a coil spring and thereby is urged into respective of the end positions after having moved past a dead center position.
The tilting member is fastened to a side wall of the furniture body, and the drawer is provided with a driving pin member which is inserted into a notch or slot in the tilting member during an end portion of the path of movement of the drawer. The driving pin member then moves the tilting member past the dead center position, whereupon the ~ .
tilting member itself pulls the driving pin member and thus the drawer toward the rear of the furniture body under the action of the coil spring.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
With the above discussion in mind, it is an object of the present invention to provide a closing device whereby it is possible to ensure that the drawer is pulled into the furniture body over a greater distance than is possible with the above ~nown device. It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a closlng device wherein the pull-in movement imparted to the drawer is as uniform as possible.
It is a yet further object of the present invention to provide a unit employable in such closing device and an improved article of furniture incorporating such closing device.
The above objects are achieved in accordance with one aspect of the present invention by providing a closing device, for use in an article of furniture having furniture components including a furniture body and a drawer slidable in opposite directions into and out of the furniture body, for moving the drawer to a fully inserted position within the furniture body. The closing device includes a first coupling or pin member adapted to be fixedly mounted on one of the furniture components, and a second coupling or tiltable member adapted to be mounted on the other of the ~ 20 1 3633 furniture components for displacement relative thereto in opposite first and second directions. The pin member and the tiltable member are in engagement when the drawer is in the fully inserted position. As a result, there is caused, upon the drawer being moved in a direction outwardly of the furniture body, relative displacement in the first direction between the tiltable member and the other furniture component. Spring means acts on the tiltable member and on the other furniture component to urge relative displacement in the second direction between the tiltable member and the other furniture component. Thereby, when the pin member and the tiltable member are in engagement, the spring means urges the drawer to move in a direction inwardly of the furniture body to the fully inserted position. Upon relative displacement between the tiltable member and the other furniture component against the urging force of the spring in the first direction to a predetermined relative position, the tiltable member is caused to tilt in a first pivot direction about an axis to a locking position whereat the tiltable member is locked in position with respect to the other furniture component and whereat engagement between the pin member and the tiltable member is released.
Thereafter, the drawer is freely movable into and out of the furniture body. Upon free movement of the drawer inwardly of the furniture body to a position whereat the pin member again engages with the tiltable member, the pin member tilts the tiltable member in a second pivot direction about the axis away from the locking position. At such time, the urging force of the spring again acts between the tiltable member and the other furniture component to cause relative displacement therebetween in the second direction and to move the drawer in the direction inwardly of the furniture body to the fully inserted position.
By such arrangement, it is possible to provide that the drawer is subjected to a pull-in movement over a substantial distance, and such distance readily may be adjusted and/or selected. Furthermore, the pull-in movement of the drawer will be substantially uniform.
In one arrangement of the present invention, the pin member may be mounted on the drawer, and the tiltable member may be mounted on the furniture body for movement relative thereto in the opposite first and second directions. In a preferred aspect of this embodiment of the present inventionj the pin member is mounted on a pull-out rail of the drawer, and the tiltable member is mounted on the furniture body or on a supporting rail of the furniture body by means of a mounting arrangement. Such mounting arrangement may include a guide track defining a groove, with positioning means in the form of a pair of guide rods extending from the tiltable member into the groove and being guided thereby. The guide track includes a rectilinear portion and at least a forward arcuate portion. The tiltable member has therein a slot, and the pin member extends into the slot and is engaged with the tiltable member when the tiltable member is positioned along the rectilinear portion of the groove of the guide track. The pin member withdraws from the slot and thereby releases engagement between the pin member and the tiltable member upon movement of the tiltable member to the arcuate portion, thereby causing the tiltable member to tilt about the axis to the locked position.
The pivot axis of the tiltable member may extend horizontally or vertically. Furthermore, the spring preferably is a helical spring and may be either of the type that is compressed upon movement of the tiltable member in the first direction and that expands to impart the urging force to the tiltable member, or of the type that is expanded upon movement of the tiltable member in the first direction and that retracts to impart the urging force to the tiltable member.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided an article of furniture including a furniture body and a drawer, and further incorporating the above discussed closing device. In accordance with this aspect of the present invention, a closing device may be provided between the pull-out and supporting rails on each of opposite sides of the drawer, and the tiltable members and/or pin members on the opposite sides of the drawer may be offset with respect to each other in the direction of movement of the drawer into the furniture body. This allows pulling-in movement of the drawer over an even greater distance. Preferably, the supporting rail includes upper and lower horiztontal flanges, and each tiltable member is mounted on the respective lower horizontal flange.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With reference to FIGS. 1-4, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Illustrated therein are portions of an article of furniture including a furniture body and a drawer. Only a side wall 2 of the furniture body is illustrated. The drawer includes opposite side walls 1 and a front plate 11. The drawer is slidable in opposite directions into and out of the furniture body.
Such sliding movement is enabled by conventional means, for example pull-out guide assemblies mounted at each side of , ~ ~
the drawer and including a supporting rail mounted on the furniture body side wall 2 and a pull-out rail mounted on the drawer side wall 1. Various carriages, rollers and/or balls may be provided between such rails to facilitate smooth movement of the drawer and to provide the function of bearing the load of the drawer.
A closing device in accordance with the present invention operates to ensure that the drawer is moved to a fully inserted closed position within the furniture body.
Essential elements of this closing device according to the present invention are a coupling or tiltable member 3, a guide track 4, a driving coupling or pin member 5 and a spring 6, which preferably is in the form of a helical coil spring. In this embodiment of the present invention, the gulde track 4 is formed by a groove defined in a rail member 7 fastened to body side wall 2. The driving pin member 5 is directly fastened to drawer side wall 1, or alternatively may be fastened to the pull-out rail of the drawer. As shown particularly in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tiltable member 3 is positioned in guide track 4 for movement there along by means of positioning elements in the form of a pair of guide rods 8 that extend from tiltable member 3 into guide track 4. Guide track 4 includes a rearwardly positioned and relatively long rectilinear portion 4' and a forwardly located arcuate portion 4" diverging laterally from the path of portion 4. Spring 6 has a first end connected to _~
U ' '`' ~ 20 1 3633 tiltable member 3 and a second end connected to the furniture body, for example furniture body side wall 2.
The closing device of FIGS. 1-4 operates in the following manner. Thus, with the drawer in a fully inserted position within the furniture body, for example as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spring 6 pulls on tiltable member 3 such that it is urged rearwardly of guide track 4.
Tiltable member 3 has therein a catch slot 9 into which fits pin member 5 that is attached to the drawer. As a result, the tiltable meber 3 also pulls pin member 5 and the drawer rearwardly of the furniture body. Slot 9 has a forward, beveled side edge 10 to be discussed below. When the drawer is opened, pin member 5 pulls tiltable member 3 forwardly along guide track 4 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3.
Thus, tiltable member 3 is displaceable relative to the furniture body in a forward first direction. This relative movement continues until a predetermined relative position determined by the arcuate portion 4 n, When guide rods 8 move into this arcuate portion, the tiltable member 3 tilts about an axis determined by leftmost guide rod 8 as seen in FIG. 4 or by the curvature of arcuate portion 4". As the drawer continues outward movement with tiltable member 3 tilted into arcuate portion 4" as shown in FIG. 4, pin member 5 withdraws from slot 9 and rides over beveled edge 10. Thereafter, the drawer is freely movable into and out of the furniture body until pin member 5 again enters slot ~, 9. Due to guiding provided by the two guide rods 8 and the dimensioning and curvature of the arc of arcuate portion 4", the tiltable member 3 is locked in the tilted forward position illustrated in FIG. 4. As such, the spring is prevented from pulling tiltable member 3 rearwardly. When the drawer then is to be inserted into the furniture body, it is freely moved rearwardly until pin member 5 again engages in slot 9-of tiltable member 3. The movement of the pin member 5 rearwardly into slot 9 releases tiltable member 3 from its locked position in arcuate portion 4". As soon as the tiltable member substantially returns to rectilinear portion 4' of guide track 4, the force of spring 6 thereby is allowed to pull tiltable member 3 rearwardly.
Accordingly, the spring 6 pulls the tiltable member 3 and thereby the pin member 5 and the drawer rearwardly into the furniture body. In this manner, the drawer is pulled into a fully inserted position within the furniture body, even if the drawer was not carefully pushed into the furniture body.
As such, the front plate 11 of the drawer does not project outwardly from the furniture body.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a further embodiment of the present invention that is similar to the embodiment of FIGS.
1-4. In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the tiltable member 3 is mounted within a rall 17 that is attached to a supporting rail 15 that is fastened to the furniture body side wall 2 by bracket 16. Tiltable member 3 has a U-shaped ~~
configuration including a pair of spaced flanges 3'. Guide rods 8 extend upwardly and downwardly from respective flanges 3' into slots 4 defining guide tracks in upper and lower flanges of rail 17. Each slot 4 has a rectilinear rear portion and an arcuate forward portion, in a manner similar to that of the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4. Tiltable member 3 projects through a rectilinear slot 18 in rail 17 and has therein a slot similar to slot 9 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4. Pin member 5 is mounted on a pull-out rail 13 attached to drawer side wall 1 beneath a drawer bottom 12.-Pull-out rail 13 is supported on a flange of supporting rail 15 for relative sliding movement by means of rollers 14.
Rollers 14 may be mounted directly on rails 13, 15 or may be mounted in a carriage. Spring 6 is positioned between the flanges 3' and has a first end connected to rail 17 and a second end connected to tiltable member 3. The embodiment of the closing device of FIGS. 5 and 6 operates in the same as manner discussed above for the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4.
FIGS. 7-12 illustrate a further embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, a supporting rail 15 attached to a furniture body side wall has mounted thereon, for example by screws, a block 21, for example formed of plastic. Pin member 5 extends from a pull-out rail-13 mounted on the drawer. Tiltable member 3 has a catch notch or slot 9 into which fits pin member 5. Tiltable member 3 has extending therefrom guide rods 8I that extend into a guide track 4 formed in block 21. In this embodiment the groove that defines the guide track 4 is T-shaped (see FIG.
12), and guide rods 8' have a complementary shape including heads 26 to retain guide rods 8' in the guide track 4. Each guide rod 8' also has an annular flange 27 to retain the guide rod 8' on the block 21. As is particularly apparent from FIG. 9, the pin member 5 and guide rods 8' are aligned vertically. As a result, tiltable member 3 tilts about a vertical axis in a horizontal plane. Also, pull-out rail 13 has extending therefrom a stop 28 to abut with a counterstop 29 on tiltable member 3. This embodiment of the present invention operates essentially in the same manner as the previous embodiments. However, spring 22 (see FIG. 7) in this embodiment is compressed by the movement of the t1ltable member 3 forwardly along the guide track 4 relative to the furniture body, i.e. with outward movement of the drawer. Therefore, spring 22 is compressed when the tiltable member moves in a forward first direction relative to the furniture body, and spring 22 expands to move the tiltable member 3 in a rearward second direction relative to the furniture body. Furthermore, in this embodiment the closing device is formed as a unit or a unitary kit 20 that is mounted on the supporting rail 15. Thus, the kit 20 includes block 21 defining guide track 4 and to which is mounted the tiltable member 3. Spring 22 is mounted on a slide rod 23 and abuts against a base portion 24 of block , 21. The provision of the unitary kit 20 being mountable on rail 15 provides a very compact structure that also enables the pull-out guide assembly to be compact. It is possible to position such closing device beneath a drawer bottom, thereby saving space. The closing device essentially is a part of the pull-out guide assembly, and thereby mounting is facilitated.

Such sliding movement is enabled by conventional means, for example pull-out guide assemblies mounted at each side of , ~ ~
the drawer and including a supporting rail mounted on the furniture body side wall 2 and a pull-out rail mounted on the drawer side wall 1. Various carriages, rollers and/or balls may be provided between such rails to facilitate smooth movement of the drawer and to provide the function of bearing the load of the drawer.
A closing device in accordance with the present invention operates to ensure that the drawer is moved to a fully inserted closed position within the furniture body.
Essential elements of this closing device according to the present invention are a coupling or tiltable member 3, a guide track 4, a driving coupling or pin member 5 and a spring 6, which preferably is in the form of a helical coil spring. In this embodiment of the present invention, the gulde track 4 is formed by a groove defined in a rail member 7 fastened to body side wall 2. The driving pin member 5 is directly fastened to drawer side wall 1, or alternatively may be fastened to the pull-out rail of the drawer. As shown particularly in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tiltable member 3 is positioned in guide track 4 for movement there along by means of positioning elements in the form of a pair of guide rods 8 that extend from tiltable member 3 into guide track 4. Guide track 4 includes a rearwardly positioned and relatively long rectilinear portion 4' and a forwardly located arcuate portion 4" diverging laterally from the path of portion 4. Spring 6 has a first end connected to _~
U ' '`' ~ 20 1 3633 tiltable member 3 and a second end connected to the furniture body, for example furniture body side wall 2.
The closing device of FIGS. 1-4 operates in the following manner. Thus, with the drawer in a fully inserted position within the furniture body, for example as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spring 6 pulls on tiltable member 3 such that it is urged rearwardly of guide track 4.
Tiltable member 3 has therein a catch slot 9 into which fits pin member 5 that is attached to the drawer. As a result, the tiltable meber 3 also pulls pin member 5 and the drawer rearwardly of the furniture body. Slot 9 has a forward, beveled side edge 10 to be discussed below. When the drawer is opened, pin member 5 pulls tiltable member 3 forwardly along guide track 4 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3.
Thus, tiltable member 3 is displaceable relative to the furniture body in a forward first direction. This relative movement continues until a predetermined relative position determined by the arcuate portion 4 n, When guide rods 8 move into this arcuate portion, the tiltable member 3 tilts about an axis determined by leftmost guide rod 8 as seen in FIG. 4 or by the curvature of arcuate portion 4". As the drawer continues outward movement with tiltable member 3 tilted into arcuate portion 4" as shown in FIG. 4, pin member 5 withdraws from slot 9 and rides over beveled edge 10. Thereafter, the drawer is freely movable into and out of the furniture body until pin member 5 again enters slot ~, 9. Due to guiding provided by the two guide rods 8 and the dimensioning and curvature of the arc of arcuate portion 4", the tiltable member 3 is locked in the tilted forward position illustrated in FIG. 4. As such, the spring is prevented from pulling tiltable member 3 rearwardly. When the drawer then is to be inserted into the furniture body, it is freely moved rearwardly until pin member 5 again engages in slot 9-of tiltable member 3. The movement of the pin member 5 rearwardly into slot 9 releases tiltable member 3 from its locked position in arcuate portion 4". As soon as the tiltable member substantially returns to rectilinear portion 4' of guide track 4, the force of spring 6 thereby is allowed to pull tiltable member 3 rearwardly.
Accordingly, the spring 6 pulls the tiltable member 3 and thereby the pin member 5 and the drawer rearwardly into the furniture body. In this manner, the drawer is pulled into a fully inserted position within the furniture body, even if the drawer was not carefully pushed into the furniture body.
As such, the front plate 11 of the drawer does not project outwardly from the furniture body.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a further embodiment of the present invention that is similar to the embodiment of FIGS.
1-4. In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the tiltable member 3 is mounted within a rall 17 that is attached to a supporting rail 15 that is fastened to the furniture body side wall 2 by bracket 16. Tiltable member 3 has a U-shaped ~~
configuration including a pair of spaced flanges 3'. Guide rods 8 extend upwardly and downwardly from respective flanges 3' into slots 4 defining guide tracks in upper and lower flanges of rail 17. Each slot 4 has a rectilinear rear portion and an arcuate forward portion, in a manner similar to that of the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4. Tiltable member 3 projects through a rectilinear slot 18 in rail 17 and has therein a slot similar to slot 9 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4. Pin member 5 is mounted on a pull-out rail 13 attached to drawer side wall 1 beneath a drawer bottom 12.-Pull-out rail 13 is supported on a flange of supporting rail 15 for relative sliding movement by means of rollers 14.
Rollers 14 may be mounted directly on rails 13, 15 or may be mounted in a carriage. Spring 6 is positioned between the flanges 3' and has a first end connected to rail 17 and a second end connected to tiltable member 3. The embodiment of the closing device of FIGS. 5 and 6 operates in the same as manner discussed above for the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4.
FIGS. 7-12 illustrate a further embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, a supporting rail 15 attached to a furniture body side wall has mounted thereon, for example by screws, a block 21, for example formed of plastic. Pin member 5 extends from a pull-out rail-13 mounted on the drawer. Tiltable member 3 has a catch notch or slot 9 into which fits pin member 5. Tiltable member 3 has extending therefrom guide rods 8I that extend into a guide track 4 formed in block 21. In this embodiment the groove that defines the guide track 4 is T-shaped (see FIG.
12), and guide rods 8' have a complementary shape including heads 26 to retain guide rods 8' in the guide track 4. Each guide rod 8' also has an annular flange 27 to retain the guide rod 8' on the block 21. As is particularly apparent from FIG. 9, the pin member 5 and guide rods 8' are aligned vertically. As a result, tiltable member 3 tilts about a vertical axis in a horizontal plane. Also, pull-out rail 13 has extending therefrom a stop 28 to abut with a counterstop 29 on tiltable member 3. This embodiment of the present invention operates essentially in the same manner as the previous embodiments. However, spring 22 (see FIG. 7) in this embodiment is compressed by the movement of the t1ltable member 3 forwardly along the guide track 4 relative to the furniture body, i.e. with outward movement of the drawer. Therefore, spring 22 is compressed when the tiltable member moves in a forward first direction relative to the furniture body, and spring 22 expands to move the tiltable member 3 in a rearward second direction relative to the furniture body. Furthermore, in this embodiment the closing device is formed as a unit or a unitary kit 20 that is mounted on the supporting rail 15. Thus, the kit 20 includes block 21 defining guide track 4 and to which is mounted the tiltable member 3. Spring 22 is mounted on a slide rod 23 and abuts against a base portion 24 of block , 21. The provision of the unitary kit 20 being mountable on rail 15 provides a very compact structure that also enables the pull-out guide assembly to be compact. It is possible to position such closing device beneath a drawer bottom, thereby saving space. The closing device essentially is a part of the pull-out guide assembly, and thereby mounting is facilitated.
