Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for folding doors, particularly for furniture.
  • furniture provided with folding doors.
  • Such doors slide on horizontal guides applied to the frame of the furniture and are provided near the adjacent vertical edges with articulated hinges. Due to these hinges the doors can pass from a position in which they are placed coplanar and close the furniture, to a position in which, completely folded at one of the two ends of the furniture, they result parallely facing and orthogonal to their sliding plane.
  • a drawback of such doors consists in that their opening is only possible starting from one end, purposely foreseen when they are realized or in assemblying the furniture; this creates the necessity of opening all the preceding doors in the case that one has to open a door of the furniture different from that at the free end.
  • GB-A-1.168.723 relates to a folding panel partition for movement across a wall opening, comprising a plurality of generally rigid panels having butt edges joined to adjacent panels by a flexible strip hinge and providing movement of the panels from an extended position with each of the panels lying in a generally common plane to a folded position with the panels in a side-by-side relationship.
  • the hinge forms the exclusive hinge support for the panels and has a pair of back portions and each of the back portions has a projection formed along the length thereof for the reception within a prepared slot of uniform width formed in the butt edge of the adjacent panels.
  • a drawback of this partition consists in that it does not allow the coplanarity of the panels when in a closed condition.
  • EP-A1-0 032 218 relates to a folding wall with doors, formed by a pair of doors connected between themselves along their vertical edge and to posts sliding along an upper guide runner.
  • the pairs of doors are kept coplanar by a wire horizontally strained, through a spring, from an end to the other of the wall and which can be slackened, during the opening phase, to allow the folding of the pairs of doors and their approaching near the prefixed end.
  • the aim of the invention is to realize a device for operating folding doors, particularly for furniture, which allows to open the doors on both sides.
  • Another aim of the invention is to realize a device which allows opening of the doors, one pair after the other subsequently.
  • Another aim of the invention is to realize a device which allows easy and simple displacement of the doors.
  • an operating device for folding doors, particularly for furniture comprising:
  • the device according to the invention can be used for example in wardrobes with folding doors.
  • the pair of doors are indicated by 1,1' (doors of end pairs and doors of intermediate pairs respectively) and are articulated two by two, along their vertical edges, to posts 2,2' by traditional hinges 3 realized, for example, in rigid flexible co-extruded PVC, running along the complete height of the door itself.
  • These are formed by two elements 3' insertable in the contacting edges of the doors and/or posts and connected each to other along an area of minimum thickness, which keeps elastically the elements 3' substantially coplanar when there is no outside stress.
  • a metal plate 4 is applied, supporting a horizontal axis roller 5 engaged in a guide runner 6, externally applied to the upper horizontal edge of the wardrobe 7.
  • the plate 4 of the intermediate posts 2' is also provided with a projection 8 supporting vertical axis rollers 9 engaged in the lateral wings of the same guide runner 6.
  • a horizontal axis hollow cylindrical element 10 is connected, internally housing a solenoidal spring 11 and a vertical pin 12, whose ends emerge out of the cylindrical element 10.
  • rings 13 are mounted to which small metal wires 14 are fixed, having the other end connected near the medium place of the adjacent doors 1,1'.
  • a further small wire 15 connects the small wires 14 at a short distance from the place of connection to the intermediate doors 1'.
  • the connecting small wire 14 between the post 2' and the articulated door 1 is provided with a solenoidal spring 20 having elastic constant higher than that of the spring 11.
  • a solenoidal spring 20 having elastic constant higher than that of the spring 11.
  • the length of the small wires 14 and 15 is such that, when the wardrobe is closed, that is the doors 1,1' are placed coplanar, they are kept taut by the action of the springs 11.
  • each post 2' is provided at the bottom with a plate 16 supporting a vertical axis roller 17 sliding in a guide channel 18 applied near the lower edge of the wardrobe 7.
  • the device according to the invention operates as follows: when all the doors 1,1' are closed, they are coplanar and completely close the wardrobe 7. This position is kept stable as the elastic movement of the springs 11 prevails against the elastic reaction of the hinges 3.
