Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cabinet, for instance for storing a computer, which cabinet comprises:
  • Such cabinets are already known and are used for instance to store computers.
  • the door of the cabinet is then opened, a horizontal shelf is then pulled out of the cabinet onto which for instance the keyboard of the computer can be placed, and a second shelf arranged hingedly on the door is folded upward so that desk space is created next to the keyboard.
  • Such a known cabinet could also be used as desk, wherein a work surface can be assembled from the slide-out shelf and the shelf arranged hingedly on the door.
  • the known cabinet has the drawback that, as a consequence of the construction of the cabinet and the usually applied hinges for the door, when the first shelf is pulled out and the second shelf arranged on the door is folded up there remains present between the two shelves a space which is usually about the same as the thickness of the shelves of the cabinet.
  • a cabinet according to the invention which is characterized in that the second shelf is displaceable in the direction of the hinge line such that a side of the second shelf can be placed contiguously against a side of the first shelf.
  • the invention enables the assembly of a work surface which is no longer interrupted by inconvenient gaps.
  • An attractive aesthetic appearance of the cabinet is moreover obtained hereby.
  • a preferred embodiment of the cabinet according to the invention comprises a hinge for hinged arrangement of the second shelf on the door, which hinge comprises:
  • the hinging and sliding movement of the shelf fixed to the door can be realized in simple manner with such a hinge.
  • the hinge pin functions as both pivot axis and displacement axis. It is of course possible, instead of such a hinge, to mount a sub-frame with conventional hinges on the door and to arrange the shelf displaceably in slots in the sub-frame. This latter solution is however economically less attractive than the embodiment with the hinge according to the invention.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the cabinet according to the invention is characterized by
  • the cabinet comprises locking means for locking the second shelf to the first shelf in the contiguous position.
  • the second shelf could slide away from the slide-out first shelf, for instance when objects are shifted, whereby the gap is formed once again.
  • locking means are arranged according to the invention which prevent the foregoing.
  • the locking means comprise:
  • FIG. 1 shows a cabinet 1 according to the invention.
  • Cabinet 1 has two doors 2, which are shown in figure 1 in closed position.
  • Cabinet 1 further comprises wheels 3, so that the cabinet can be easily displaced.
  • a number of fixed shelves 6 can further be arranged in cabinet 1.
  • shelf 5 can be shifted in the direction of arrow P3 toward slide-out shelf 4, whereby a side of shelf 5 comes to lie against a side of shelf 4. Shelf 5 can then be locked to shelf 4 by means of locking means 7.
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective bottom view of a part of cabinet 1.
  • slide-out shelf 4 door 2, and the shelf 5 mounted hingedly thereon.
  • Shelf 5 is mounted hingedly on door 2 by means of a hinge 8.
  • This hinge 8 comprises a hinge pin 9, first hinge parts 10 which are arranged on hinge pin 9 and on door 2, and second hinge parts 11 which are arranged on hinge pin 9 and which are connected to the foldable shelf 5. Because second hinge parts 11 are displaceable over hinge pin 9 relative to first hinge parts 10, shelf 5 can be shifted in the direction of arrow P3 toward slide-out shelf 4.
  • shelf 5 can be fixed to shelf 4 by means of locking means 7.
  • locking means 7 comprise a platelike part 12 which is pivotable parallel to the main surface of slide-out shelf 4 in the direction of arrow P4.
  • Plate part 12 supports shelf 5 and plate part 12 further comprises a recess which co-acts in locking manner with pin 13.
  • FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the locking means, which are designated here with reference numeral 17.
  • These locking means 17 comprise a pin 18 which is arranged in shelf 5 and a bush 19 arranged in shelf 4 in the line of pin 18.
  • the pin 18 is pushed into bush 19, whereby shelf 5 is locked in its horizontal position.
  • the bush 19 in for instance plastic, it is possible with correct dimensioning to embody various aspects such that pin 18 is clamped fixedly in bush 19. Unintentional displacement in the direction opposed to arrow P3 is hereby prevented.
  • FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the locking means.
  • These locking means comprise a strip 20 with a substantial Z-shaped cross-section. This strip is arranged on the foldable shelf 5. In the shelf 4 a groove 21 is arranged, in which an edge of the strip 20 engages.
