Description
- The present invention relates to a device for the adjustable connection of a sliding door wing to a furniture piece.
- In particular, the present invention relates to a device which can be used advantageously for the connection of light door wings such as those fitted to office or kitchen cabinets; however, this does not diminish its general nature, as it can also be used for the adjustable connection of heavy door wings, such as those related to sliding doors.
- In the furniture manufacturing industry, the production of door wings which can be opened by sliding along the plane on which they lie, and which are connected to the furniture piece in such a way as to be suspended from a guide located in correspondence with the top of the furniture piece, is well known.
- In these embodiments, the sliding guides are generally rather limited in size either because they must be housed within the thickness of the top plane of the furniture piece, or because, mounted so as to protrude from it, they must not reduce the useful cross-section for accessing the space inside the furniture piece.
- A connection device described in the document EP 0 592 357 and embodied according to the preamble to claim 1 comprises, for the purposes mentioned, a carriage which is attached to the door wing by means of a suitable fastening body, which carriage, on one side, engages its sliding block in the guide of the furniture piece thus being able to translate therein and, on the opposite side, projects externally from the guide connecting to the fastening body.
- The device also comprises slowing and retaining means which, activated in correspondence with the limits of the translation of the carriage, allow the wing which has reached its fully opened or fully closed position to remain stably in the condition reached, in the absence of a contrary action imparted externally.
- The sliding block of the carriage is actuated in particular by two pairs of wheels arranged in succession along the guide, and the supporting body of the carriage is coupled with a rotating joint to the fastening body so as to oscillate, rotating around a horizontal axis, allowing all the carriage wheels constantly to remain in direct contact with the guide.
- The fastening body is in turn fastened to the wing, fitted inside a housing cavity, of complementary shape, currently known as "well cavity", obtained on the wing for the purpose of limiting the size of the device within the thickness of the wing itself.
- Such device, though it operates properly, is not free of drawbacks: if the cavities housing the fastening bodies were produced with a parallelism error with respect to the guide of the furniture piece, upon mounting the wing would fit crookedly with respect to the guide.
- The purpose of the present invention therefore is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above by means of a device for the connection to a furniture piece of a wing opened by sliding, which allows to adjust the wing along a vertical direction.
- According to the invention, these problems are solved by means of a device wherein the supporting body of the carriage is mounted so as to slide within the cavity of the fastening body in such a way as to enable it to translate crosswise with respect to the guide, allowing the sliding block to move in that direction with respect to the door wing. Adjustable means to activate such a motion are provided to adjust the way the wing is mounted with respect to the furniture piece.
- The technical characteristics of the invention, according to the aforesaid purposes, can clearly be seen in the content of the claims reported below and the advantages of the invention shall be made clearer in the detailed description with follows, made with reference to the enclosed drawings, which show an embodiment provided purely by way of non limiting example, in which:
- Figure 1 is a partially sectioned view of a furniture piece provided with a sliding door wing fitted with devices according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a cross section of the furniture piece in Figure 1 made along a vertical plane II-II;
- Figures 3 and 4 are prospective views, in an enlarged scale, of the device according to the invention, shown respectively fully assembled and in an exploded view;
- Figure 5 is an overall prospective view of a second embodiment of the device.
- With reference to the enclosed Figures 1 and 2 one can observe a device, labelled 1 in its entirety, for connecting to a furniture piece 2 (partially shown) a
wing 3, suspended at its top from two connection points, and whose bottom is engaged by means of itsown guide 32 topins 33 inserted in the base 34 of thefurniture piece 2 and capable of being opened by sliding along the plane on which it lies. - The
device 1 essentially comprises acarriage 4 for suspending thewing 3, which carriage (Figure 4) includes a supportingbody 6 and a slidingblock 5 supported at the top by the supportingbody 6. - The sliding
block 5, comprising a pair ofrollers 20 mounted coaxially to each other and fitted to both sides of the supportingbody 6, is engaged to translate with asliding guide 7 fastened to the top of thefurniture piece 2 and opened at its bottom towardsdoor 3. - The supporting
body 6, constrained by theguide 7, in part 6a protrudes downward from theguide 7 and projects towards theunderlying wing 3. Abody 8 for fastening thedevice 1 to thewing 3 is housed inside awell cavity 26 obtained on thewing 3 in a position near the top corner of thewing 3. - The fastening body 8 (Figures 3 and 4) comprises two
shells inner cavity 9, open towards theguide 7, in which is inserted the lower part 6a of thebody 6 supporting thecarriage 4 which is kept in thecavity 9 in a condition of relative mobility with respect to the cavity itself. - More particularly, observing Figure 4, one notes how the
shell 23 has inner walls 27 which are shaped to complement the contour of the lower part 6a of thebody 6 supporting thecarriage 4 so as to enable the supportingbody 6 itself to move by sliding vertically within thecavity 9, thus allowing to move the slidingblock 5 away from thewing 3, or vice versa to move it closer according to the practical needs arising from mounting operations. - The lower part 6a of the supporting
body 6 is also traversed by athrough cavity 12, within which is axially inserted acylindrical body 10, supported by theshell 24 and traversing eccentrically a throughhole 28, of larger size, obtained on theshell 24 itself. - The
cylindrical body 10 is borne eccentrically by ahead 35 coupled so as to swivel with aseat 29 of theshell 24, coaxial withhole 28. - The
body 10 therefore performs the dual function of retaining the supportingbody 6 within thecavity 9 and to impart, by means of its eccentric rotation with respect to thehead 35, the translation to thecarriage 4, as a consequence thereof thesliding block 5 moves vertically. Thehead 35 of thecylindrical body 10, in particular, is provided with aseat 13 for the engagement of a tool effecting its rotation from outside thewing 3. - The
body 10, which can swivel eccentrically, and thecavity 12 of the supportingbody 6 constitute a non limiting example of embodiment of adjustable means for effecting the aforementioned movement of the slidingblock 5. - These actuating means are also provided with additional arresting means able to prevent backward motion, responsible for the spontaneous movement of the
body 6 with respect to thecavity 9. - An embodiment provided purely by way of non limiting example of such arresting means, integrated in the actuating means, can be observed in Figure 4, which shows that the eccentrically
swivelling body 10 bears anouter toothing 15 which is engaged in a correspondingcomplementary toothing 14 obtained inside thethrough hole 28 of theshell 24. - Inside the guide 7 (Figure 1), in correspondence with the extreme points of the translation of the
carriage 4 which correspond with the fully opened or fully closed position of thewing 3, thedevice 1 comprises means for slowing and stably retaining thewing 3 in the open or closed position it has reached. - In particular, (Figures 3 and 4), such means comprise two
heads 16 jutting from thebody 6 supporting thecarriage 4, to the front and to the rear of thesliding block 5, along thesliding direction 30 of theblock 5 in theguide 7; and afork element 17 mounted on theguide 7 opposite to theheads 16. - The
heads 16 have an essentially cylindrical shape with axis ofsymmetry 21 essentially transverse to guide 7 and parallel to the plane on which thewing 3 lies, and are joined to thebody 6 supporting thecarriage 4 by atang 25 having two verticalinclined planes 19, converging to each other as they project away from the supportingbody 6. - The
fork element 17 is provided witharms 18 which can be elastically deformed in a horizontal plane transverse to the plane on which thewing 3 lies, between which arms, in the opened or closed position of thewing 3 one or the other of theheads 16 come to fit, remaining engaged there in corresponding housing receptacles 31 obtained on thearms 18. - The operation of the slowing and retention means can be described considering as initial the configuration of the
device 1 in Figure 4 wherein thehead 16 is located in the vicinity of thearms 18. When thewing 3 is made to advance towards thefork element 17, thehead 16 progressively fits between thetines 18; the latter coming against theinclined planes 19 of thetang 25 widen elastically, and imparting a reaction force against the advance of thecarriage 4, slow the motion of thewing 3 as it nears the fully open or fully closed conditions. - An alternative embodiment of the
device 1 is reported in Figure 5, wherein thedevice 1 shown differs from the example of embodiment described above solely in that the slidingblock 5 is actuated by a pair ofbodies 22, of essentially elliptical cross section, which engage theguide 7 sliding within it, with a grazing rather than rolling coupling. - From the above exposition it is evident that the
device 1 described fully attains its set purposes, allowing to integrate within it in a simple and functional manner adjustment elements which, given the limited space available, are rather difficult to place. Thedevice 1 is also characterised by its remarkable manufacturing simplicity which makes it quite economical. - The invention thus conceived can be subject to numerous modifications and variations, without thereby departing from the scope of the inventive concept. Moreover, all components may be replaced with technically equivalent elements.
