Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for opening and closing an element, in particular a drawer, movable relative to the frame of a piece of furniture in particular movable on casters, of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention aims to provide a simple device, economical to produce and yet very robust and reliable.
  • this device must be able to guarantee the absence of untimely opening of the mobile element when the latter is constituted by an opening element, mounted on ball bearing slides, of a workbench or other piece of furniture movable on casters and subject, therefore, strong jolts when moving on uneven ground.
  • DE-A-39 30 271 describes a device of the type indicated at the start, applied to the opening-closing of an automobile ashtray.
  • the opening stroke of the movable element is very small, so that the latch circulates in the locking system while remaining constantly engaged in the latter, which guides it permanently.
  • Such a solution is not suitable in the case of a piece of furniture opening, such as a drawer, the opening stroke of which is much greater, so that the latch must be able to move away considerably from the locking block.
  • the opening-closing device according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the opening device according to the invention may include one or more of the characteristics described in claims 2 to 6.
  • the invention also relates to a piece of furniture, in particular movable on casters, comprising at least one movable element, in particular a drawer mounted on ball bearing slides, and a device for opening and closing this movable element as defined above.
  • the invention is applied to a drawer 1 of a workbench of which only the corresponding part of the frame can be seen 2.
  • the drawer is mounted to slide, according to the double horizontal arrow F, on slides with balls not shown, while the frame is mounted displaceable on casters not shown. So the drawer has a very great freedom of sliding, and, when moving on the irregular floor of a workshop, the frame can be subjected to strong jolts.
  • the drawer opening-closing device 1 consists of a latch 3, a fitting 4 for mounting this latch, a return spring 5, a cam 6 and an opening spring 7.
  • the latch 3 is a piece of metal wire bent twice so as to give it a C shape.
  • the diameter of this wire is sufficient for the latch C to be rigid.
  • the front branch 8 of the C is mounted to oscillate around its own horizontal axis, approximately halfway up the rear wall 9 of the drawer, in a semi-circular bulge 10 of the fitting 4, which is fixed to this wall 9 .
  • the spring 5 is a double leaf spring in the general shape of C.
  • the core of the C is fixed to the wall 9, and its two branches converge towards each other on either side of the core 11 of the latch.
  • this core 11 is constantly returned to a horizontal neutral position, perpendicular to the wall 9 of the drawer, by the elastic stress of the two branches of the spring 5.
  • the cam 6 is a molded plastic part fixed to the vertical bottom wall 12 of the frame 2 opposite the latch. This part has a vertical side wall 13, perpendicular to the wall 12, on one face of which two blocks 14 and 15 project.
  • the horizontal spacing d measured perpendicular to the wall 12 (FIG. 1), between the upper end of the ramp 20 and that of the ramp 18, is less than the diameter of the wire constituting the latch 3.
  • the bulge 18A connecting the recess 17 to the ramp 18 is at a level higher than that of the axis 8.
  • the opening spring 7 is a helical spring, one end of which is made integral with the wall 12 of the frame by means of a mounting pin 21.
  • the device described above has a small number of economical and robust parts to produce. It is easy to size the parts and to choose the force of the spring 7 so that the drawer does not risk accidentally unlocking during movement of the workbench, while retaining a moderate maneuvering effort of the drawer.
