Abstract

La présente invention concerne une articulation pour panneaux tels qu'une planche à repasser, supportant la planche débordant d'un support (3) par des paires de liaisons (2, 3) reliées entre elles (29, 30) de façon à limiter le mouvement angulaire jusqu'à une position d'utilisation. La planche (24) peut se plier et s'escamoter dans un couvercle monté sur un mur. L'unité murale peut être fixée à un mécanisme (118) de réglage en hauteur. Les liaisons (2, 3) peuvent être associées à des organes (63) accroissant le débattement angulaire du mouvement de pliage afin d'escamoter la planche repliée (80) dans un tiroir (84). La planche peut se monter sur un plateau tournant (101) lui donnant un mouvement angulaire. La planche (24) peut être soutenue sur des supports (35) fixés sur des coulisses (34) permettant un mouvement en position de rangement dans une armoire (32).
