Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device capable of causing a plurality of wing elements to open and close through combined swinging and sliding movements thereof, these wing elements being generally of the type as used in the furnishings art, for example, for constructing the front wall of a cabinet, a partition, etc..
  • the wings are commonly pair-arranged with the wings of each pair of wings being able to be opened like a "book”, that is to say, to be superposed upon each other and then moved together to one side or the other.
  • US-A-3,344,837 describes a folding panel assembly according to the preamble of claim 1, which may be used in an opening in a structure, in particular as a door for a garage, and which is movable vertically between an extended, lower position and a retracted or stacked upper position.
  • gear wheels and associated complex mechanisms are provided for moving together the panels, which, however, can be brought only to the upper end of the opening in the stacked position.
  • a hinge device is arranged between the different wings in an alternate manner, the hinge device being able to convert the swinging movement of a wing into a swinging movement equal but opposed in direction of an adjacent wing, thereby to achieve sliding movement of all of the wings in a same direction.
  • this device includes a pair of gear wheels constantly in mesh with one another, supported, for example, by the guide and support head rail of the wings, these gear wheels having each an arm associated thereto, which arm is slidingly guided into a corresponding wing.
  • Figures 1 to 3 are schematic views of the front part of a cabinet which is shown to have vertical walls 1 with the inside space being closed at its front by an even number of wings 2, in particular four wings 2.
  • the above example is merely an illustrative example and that the wings 2 could both be different in number -for example 6 in number - and serve for a different purpose from that shown, for example, they may be used for constructing a partition.
  • the wings 2 are pair-arranged so that the wings in each pair of wings can be superposed upon one another through combined swinging and sliding movements thereof. Accordingly, the remote ends 2' of the wings of each pair of wings are supported and guided between two rails, namely a top and a bottom rail (not shown) as usually provided for enabling the wings to slide, while the adjacent ends of wings in each pair of wings are hinged to one another to permit the wings to open and close"as a book", in a conventional manner.
  • the ends 2' of adjacent pairs of wings are connected together, as at the encircled locations A in figures 1 to 3, by the aid of a hinge device shown in figures 4 and 5 or 5', which device enables all of the wings to be opened and closed simultaneously, in a manner to keep them parallel two by two, and to cause all of them to slidingly move to a side, by action upon one of the two terminal wings, as schematically shown figure 2 and 3.
  • This hinge device shown in figures 4 and 5 or 5', is generally indicated by reference numeral 3 and substantially comprises a pair of gear wheels 4 in constant mesh with one another, each gear wheel having integrally connected to it an arm 5 carrying a pair of rollers 6 at the free end of the arm, the rollers 6 being arranged to roll in an associated C-shaped guide member 7 (see figure 6, in particular) fastened to the inside of a corresponding wing 2.
  • each stirrup 11 Arranged at the top of each stirrup 11 are pairs of rollers 13 of horizontal axis and pairs of rollers 14 of vertical axis (only the rollers on left-side stirrup being shown in figure 5), these pairs of rollers being for the purpose of supporting and guiding a correponding wing 2 in said upper guide, not shown.
  • the embodiment in figure 5' substantially differs from that in figure 5 by the guides 7 being arranged in another way.
  • the same reference numerals as those in figure 5 have been used in figure 5' to show equal parts.
  • Figure 4 schematically shows by dotted lines an open position of the righthand wing and the corresponding part of hinge device.
  • opening may be obtained by starting from the lefthand terminal wing.
  • FIGs 7, 8 and 9 schematically show successive opening steps when an odd number of wings, in particular five wings, are used.
  • a further hinge device 3 (see figures 4 and 5 or 5') is provided between a terminal wing and a close adjacent wing, as evidenced by the encircled areas again indicated by reference letter A in figures 7, 8 and 9.
  • the terminal wing 2 whose outer end is free, is connected to a sliding rail, for example the upper rail, through a stiff rod 15.
  • the rod 15 is in particular hinged at its one end, in 16, to an intermediate location on wing 2 and at its other end to a carriage 17 which is arranged to slide on an appropriate rail.
  • the terminal wing 2 is shown, by continuous line, to be in approximately full open position towards the left side (it is to be intended that in this condition the wing is translated in proximity to the left end of a cabinet) and,by dotted line, in both the closed position and the almost full open position towards the right side.
