Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device for projecting out and sliding doors of cabinets and the like.
  • the staggered position of the doors is particularly disadvantageous because in such a condition at least one of them is not perfectly in contact with the frame of the piece of furniture henceforth it may easily happens that dust gets into the cabinet- The piece of furniture thence no longer performs one of its main tasks that are attributed to it and which consists in containing, isolating it from the outside, the material housed therein.
  • a first solution among the above mentioned arrangements provides, to that aim, for at least one of the guides for the sliding movement of the doors to be retractable by provision of a hinge.
  • retractable it is intended that the guide concerned, and therefore the door connected to it, may shift in a direction orthogonal to that of sliding to move toward the cabinet so that the guide con- cemed places itself, when the cabinet is closed, on the same plane of the other door.
  • the reverse movement takes place when the cabinet must be opened so that the door is projected out or jutted out thanks, in fact, to the possibility of projecting out the relative guide.
  • a second known arrangement which has the same effects of the first one, provides for at least one of the doors of the cabinet to be able to be "projected out” and “retracted” in the direction indicated above, thence moving along two orthogonal directions thanks to the presence of a carriage with bearings provided generally at the lower edge of the door.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a device of the kind described which is of extremely simple construction and thence inexpensive and may therefore be easily assembled.
  • ft is a further object of the present invention to provide a device for projecting out and sliding doors of cabinets and the like which does not require peculiar supplementary elements such as the traditional devices for allowing the "projecting out” and the “retraction” of a door but, by virtue of its extremely simple construction, may be also adapted to traditional pieces of furniture wherein normally doors remain staggered on parallel planes also when the piece of furniture is closed.
  • the device according to the invention is associated with a door 1 of a piece of furniture (or cabinet) represented with a dashed line.
  • the device is composed of a top portion indicated altogether with 2 associated with the upper edge of the door 1 and of a lower portion indicated altogether with 3 associated with the lower edge of the door1.
  • the top portion 2 of the device also with reference to Figs. 2, and 5 to 7.
  • the top portion 2 of the device comprises a structural member 4, preferably of metal, which is substantially shaped as a U-channel with the concavity directed downwards and having one side longer than the other. It is seen that side 4a, which is fixed by screws 5 to the top edge of the door 1, is longer than the other side 4b.
  • the latter in particular, as more clearly shown in Figs. 5 and 6, is not parallel to the first side 4a but it is slanted toward the outside of said U-channel, thus forming .an obtuse angle with the base thereof.
  • an element is associated, movable with respect to said member, composed essentially of an elongated plate 6 of a length substantially equal to that of the U-shaped member 4.
  • the elongated plate 6 has, on its top edge, projections 7, three in the embodiment shown, which are inserted in corresponding slits 8 of one of the two corners of the U-shaped member 4, precisely of the cabinet side corner.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 together with the baseboard 11 of the cabinet also the top wall 9 and the lower wall 10 thereof are illustrated.
  • the projections 7 of the elongated plate 6 are inserted into the slits 8 of member 4 with a certain clearance so that the elongated plate 6 may swing with respect to the member 4 to be able to move between the two working positions shown, respectively, in Fig. 5 wherein the elongated plate 6 is substantially parallel to the side 4a of the member 4 and the position of Fig. 6 wherein the elongated plate 6 is slanted towards the interior of the member 4 itself.
  • the width of slits 8 of the member 4 shall be slightly greater than the thickness of the projections 7 thus permitting the swinging movement indicated above.
  • Elongated plate 6 is connected to slide 4b of the member 4 by spring means in a manner specified hereinbelow.
  • a pair of elastic coupling means is provided, each one indicated altogether with 16, between the elongated plate 6 and the member 4.
  • Each of the elastic coupling means 16 comprises a small rod 17, which slidable within a small block 18 pivotedly mounted on a pin 19 - (Fig. 7) which extends crosswise between two tabs 20 provided on side 4b of the member 4 and projecting outside therefrom.
  • a pair of springs are positioned, and more precisely a first spring 23, placed above pin 18, which is kept in tension thanks to a nut 24 screwed down to the threaded top end of the small rod 17.
  • the first spring 23, therefore, engages with its ends said nut 24 on one side and, aid small block 18 on the other side.
  • a second spring 25 is also provided which is kept in tension thanks to a nut 26 and therefore engages itself, at one of its ends, with said nut and at the other with said small block 18.
  • the two spring assemblies 16 are substantially similar and therefore the above description above is substantially valid for both.
  • the only difference resides in that the elastic constant of the two springs 23 and 25 is different and, in particular, making reference to Fig. 2 and to the spring assembly on the left, the top spring 23 is stiffer than the bottom spring 25.
  • the springs are placed in an inverted order that is the bottom spring (therefore indicated with 23) is more rigid than the top spring (therefore indicated with 25).
  • Portion 3 comprises a first structural member 27, preferably of metal, which has substantially an "L" shape. One of its sides, the vertical one of Fig. 1, is fixed by screws 28 to the lower edge of door 1 while the other side, perpendicular to the first, projects from the surface of door 1 on the side towards the cabinet.
  • the lower portion 3 of the device comprises a second structural member 29, which extends substantially parallel with respect to the first one and has a length similar thereto.
  • the second member 29 has one side opposing the horizontal side of the first member 27 and the other side extending vertically downwards.
  • a pair of small wheels 30, which as it appears in particular from Figs. 5 and 6 may run inside a U-shaped guide 31 which is fixed underneath the bottom surface 10 of the piece of furniture.
  • the two members 27 and 29 forming the lower portion 3 of the device are connected each other by a pair of pantographs, each of which is indicated altogether with 32.
  • Each one of the pantograph assemblies 32 comprises a couple of small rods 33 which are reciprocally pivoted in correspondence of a central portion thereof by means of a pin 34.
  • Smaii rods 33 are also pivoted, at one of their ends, to members 27 and 29 by means of a pin 35 while, at their other end they are pivoted by means of a pin 36 again to members 27 and 29.
  • pins 36 are made slidable into a slot 37 in members 27 and 29.
  • a spring 38 connects pins 34 and is provided, in a known manner, with a device 39 for adjustment of its tension.
  • Spring 38 is provided for favouring the operation of separation of the two members 27 and 29 and therefore the shifting of door 1 moving away from the cabinet passing from the position of Fig. 6 to that of Fig. 5.
  • the action of spring 38 is, in fact, that of bringing pins 34 nearer thus favouring the opening of the pantographs 32.
  • the piece of furniture is provided with a pair od doors.
  • the second door, shown with 40, is supported in a known manner by the cabinet as it is shown in particular in Figs. 5 and 6.
  • door 40 On the top edge of door 40 there is a plurality of pins 41 (only one of which is visible in the cited figures), on each one of which is rotatably mounted a small wheel 42 which allows sliding of the door 40 on a slide rail 43 provided on the same elongated member 15 of rail 14 and parallel thereto.
  • a L-shaped structural member 45 is fixed, by screws 44, to the lower edge of the door 40 and on its horizontal side can freely rotate small wheels 46 (only one of which is visible in the cited figures) which may run inside a U-shaped guide 47 integrally formed with guide 31 into which the small wheels 30 of the other door 1 run.
  • the second door 40 may perform only one movement of sliding, always on the same plane which is the one perpendicular to the plane of Figs. 5 and 6.
  • the first door 1 may perform, in addition to such a movement, a further displacement in both directions on a plane perpendicular to the previously mentioned one, that is the one of Figs. 5 and 6 to move from the condition of Fig. 5, wherein the door 1 is staggered with respect to, and on a plane parallel to that of the second door 4 0, to the position of Fig. 6, wherein the first door 1 is on the same plane of the second door 40 and vicecersa.
  • This additional movement is allowed by the device according to the invention with which is supplied the door and the operation of which is briefly described hereinbelow.
  • pantographs 32 positioned under the door 1, are open as it is shown in Fig. 5.
  • door 1 will be caused to slide in a parallel direction to door 40 until they are substantially juxtaposed but still lying on parallel planes. 'At this point it is sufficient to exert a pushing action on the door 1 towards the cabinet and, thanks to the device according to the invention, the door 1 shall be able to be brought on the same plane of the door 40 as shown in Fig. 6.
  • wheels 12, which support door 1 are carried by an inclinable portion formed of the elongated plate 6 and such a portion is connected to member 4 which supports door 1 by means of the spring assemblies 16.
  • wheels 12, not being able to leave the associate guiding rail 14 become slanted as it is shown in Fig. 6 thanks to the capability of the elongated plate 6 to be inclined.
  • Such an inclination of the elongated plate 6 with respect to the member 4 is allowed by the fact that the slots 8 in said member accomodate the projections 7 of the elongated plate 6 with a certain clearance, in particular the width of said slots 8 is slightly larger than the thickness of the projections 7.
  • the door 1 In order to open again the cabinet, that is to bring back the first door 1 in the position of Fig. 5, it will be sufficient to perform the operations described above in an opposite direction. To perform this operation, the door 1 shall be provided, on its visible surface, with suitable grasping implements such as handles or the like, possibly of the recessed type.
