Definitions
- the invention relates to a shutter for a cabinet, more particularly to a modular shutter with a plurality of juxtaposed slats which have transparent slat parts through which an object behind the shutter can be viewed.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,236,260 discloses a drawable shutter for closing an entrance of a cabinet, such as one for receiving compact discs, cassette tapes and the like, therein.
- Each of the slats has front and rear sides and includes longitudinal upper and lower portions, a longitudinal intermediate portion between the upper and lower portions, a longitudinal rib projecting from the rear side at the intermediate portion, and a pin-and-eye assembly with a pin member provided on the rear side at the upper portion and extending in a direction substantially parallel to the rib and an eye member provided on the rear side at the lower portion.
- the pin member of one of the slats engages the eye member of an adjacent one of the slats so as to connect pivotally the same.
- the slats are made of an opaque material and have no transparent parts to permit viewing of objects behind the shutter, thereby making it difficult to identify the objects kept in the cabinet.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a shutter with juxtaposed slats for a cabinet, the slats being partially transparent and permitting magnified viewing of objects kept behind the shutter so as to facilitate identification of the objects while enhancing aesthetic appeal of the cabinet.
- the shutter of the present invention is to be installed in a cabinet and comprises a plurality of juxtaposed slats with front and rear sides.
- Each of the slats includes at least two longitudinally aligned slat parts with front and rear sides.
- Each of the slat parts has longitudinal first and second portions, a longitudinal intermediate portion between the first and second portions, a pin-and-eye assembly provided on the rear side at the first and second portions for connecting pivotally adjacent ones of the slats, and complementary first and second connectors formed at two end portions for connecting adjacent ones of the slat parts of one slat.
- At least one of the slat parts of each of the slats is transparent, and the intermediate portion of the transparent slat part has a convex surface.
- the pin-and-eye assembly includes a pin member provided at the first portion and extending in a longitudinal direction of the slat part and an eye member provided at the second portion.
- the pin member of one of the slat parts of one of the slats engages the eye member of one of the slat parts of an adjacent one of the slats to connect pivotally the slats.
- the first connector includes a hook member which extends in a longitudinal direction of the slat part from one of the end portions
- the second connector includes a hook seat which is formed at the other one of the end portions and which engages the hook member of an adjacent one of the slat parts of the slat.
- the first connector further includes a tenon which extends in the longitudinal direction from one of the end portions
- the second connector further includes a mortise which is formed in the other one of the end portions and which engages the tenon of the adjacent one of the slat parts of the slat.
- each of the slats (S1) comprises a plurality of slat parts 1 with front and rear sides, 102 and 101.
- Each of the slat parts 1 has longitudinal first and second portions, 103 and 104, a longitudinal intermediate portion 105 between the first and second portions, 103 and 104, and a pin-and-eye assembly 11 provided on the rear side 101 at the first and second portions, 103 and 104, for connecting pivotally adjacent slats (S1).
- the pin-and-eye assembly 11 includes a pin member 110 provided at the first portion 103 and extending in a longitudinal direction of the slat part 1 and an eye member 111 provided at the second portion 104.
- the pin member 110 of one of the slat parts 1 engages the eye member 111 of the slat part 1 of an adjacent one of the slats (S1) so as to connect pivotally the slats (S1), as shown in Figure 5.
- Each of the slat parts 1 further has a connecting unit 12 formed at two end portions for connecting adjacent slat parts 1 of one slat (S1).
- the connecting unit 12 includes complementary first and second connectors, 121 and 122.
- the first connector 121 includes a hook member 123 and a tenon 124 which extend in a longitudinal direction of the slat part 1 from one of the end portions.
- the second connector 122 includes a hook seat 128 and a mortise 127 formed at the other one of the end portions.
- the hook member 123 has a barbed end 125.
- the hook seat 128 projects from the rear side 101 of the slat part 1 and has a distal face which is formed with an engaging groove 126 that extends along the longitudinal direction of the slat part 1 and that is confined by a spaced pair of walls 129.
- each of the slats (S1) comprises two transparent slat parts (1A) and three opaque slat parts (1B).
- the first connector 121 of each of the transparent slat parts (1A) engages the second connector 122 of one of the opaque slat parts (1B), while the second connector 122 of each of the transparent slat parts (1A) engages the first connector 121 of another one of the opaque slat parts (1B).
- the transparent slat parts (1A) of adjacent slats (S1) are aligned with one another, as shown in Figure 1. In this way, viewing of objects kept behind the shutter of the present invention is permitted so as to facilitate identification of the objects.
- the intermediate portion 105 of the slat parts 1 has a convex surface at the front side 102.
- the intermediate portion 105 of the transparent slat part (1A) can serve to magnify the object behind the same to facilitate viewing of the object.
- the shutter of the present invention permits magnified viewing of objects kept behind the shutter so as to facilitate identification of the objects.
- the shutter is only partially transparent, the aesthetic appeal of the cabinet which is installed with the shutter of the present invention can be enhanced.
