Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a movement mechanism for doors, for example for the doors of a wardrobe, door or the like, of the articulated parallelogram type. Articulated parallelogram devices are already known to the art, but present some drawbacks which the present invention proposes to overcome.
- An object of the present invention is to create a device for moving the doors of the articulated parallelogram type that is particularly simple and compact, and yet robust. A further object is to create such a device that renders the closed position and the maximum opening position stable by means of a snap action in proximity thereto. A further object is to create such a device that is particularly easy to assemble.
- The objects have been achieved with a device or mechanism as stated in claim 1. Further new and useful characteristics are stated in the subsequent claims.
- In other words, the device of the invention comprises an articulated parallelogram mechanism, one side (the proximal side) whereof is provided with a mounting base or block, provided with means of constraint to a fixed structure, said block having axes for pivoting of two arms, one main arm and one transport arm, which form two parallel sides of the parallelogram. The distal side of the parallelogram is provided with a distal L-shaped element, pivoted on the distal ends of the arms, said element having means to enable it to be constrained to the door. The main arm carries a circular cam in the proximal part thereof and said cam cooperates with a spring biased wheel carried on the base, to define a stable closed position and a stable open position.
- According to another peculiarity of the invention, the main arm comprises a proximal end component, which comprises the cam and the seat for the proximal articulation pivot, a distal end component which comprises the seat for the distal articulation pivot, and an intermediate component interchangeable on the end portions according to the width of the door whereto the device must be applied. Accordingly, the transport arm on the proximal and distal pivoting axes is also interchangeable.
- According to another peculiarity of the invention, the device comprises brackets for attachment to the door, cooperating with the distal element of the quadrilateral, so as to facilitate assembly.
- The new device achieves the present objects, is compact, can be adapted to doors of different sizes, is easy to mount and use and lends itself to be made in aesthetically pleasing shapes. Furthermore, it can be made as a device for right-hand doors and for left-hand doors using the same basic elements.

-
- With reference to the figures, a door movement device or mechanism according to the invention is designated as a whole with
reference numeral 10. It comprises aproximal element 12, hereinunder called a block or base, amain arm element 14, atransport arm element 16, and adistal element 18. - The
block element 12 defines (Fig. 6) a pivot axis a1 for themain arm 14 and a pivot axis a2 for thetransport arm 16. Thedistal element 18 defines a pivoting axis a3 between themain arm 14 and the distal element and a pivoting axis a4 between thetransport arm 16 and the distal element. The axes a1, a2 define a proximal side (p1, 2 in Figure 6) of the articulated parallelogram, the axes a3, a4 define a distal side (p3, 4 in Figure 6) of the parallelogram, said sides being parallel to each other for each position of the mechanism. The axes a1, a3 define a side of the main arm having as its track p1,3 on the drawing of Figure 1, the axes a2, a4 define a side of the transport arm designated by the line p2,4. The device forms the parallelogram with sides p1,3,p3,4;p2,4;p1,2. - The block element preferably has a symmetrical shape with respect to a median longitudinal plane, with the axis a1 on the median plane, the axis a2 and its corresponding axis a'2 disposed symmetrically with respect to the median longitudinal plane. This allows the same block to be used for a bottom left device, that is for a left hand door, like that in the figures, or for a bottom right device, for a right hand door, or for a top right or top left device.
- With reference now more in particular to the embodiment of the block illustrated in the figures, it can be noted that it is composed of a box or
base 20 and acover 22. Thebox 20 can be seen more clearly in Figure 4. It has fixing holes, designated by 23, 23', 24, 24', 25, 25', a collar with avertical axis 26 which defines the axis a1, twoholes 27, 27' which define the axes a2, a'2, disposed symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal plane through the axis a1. It also has a central raisedpart 28 which partially defines acentral housing 30 extending in a longitudinal direction and open on the side to the left in the figures. The cover (Fig. 4A) also has a raisedcentral portion 29, so as to completely define, together with the box, thehousing 30. This receives a slidable cylindrical body 31 which bears awheel 32 serving as cam feeler. The body 31 is biased in an extended condition towards the axis a1, wherein the wheel protrudes from thehousing 30, by means of aspring 33, and is possibly retained in the extreme position by stop strikes (not visible). Anadjustment screw 34 allows the action exerted by the spring to be adjusted. The cover is mounted on the box and retained thereon by means of screws which engage through holes in the box (for example the throughhole 35 in thecollar 26 and threadedhole 36 in the cover). - The
main arm 14 comprises aproximal component 38, anintermediate component 40, and adistal component 42. Theproximal component 38, seen better in Figure 5, comprises acam head 43 and atang 44. The cam head has ahole 45, acam surface 46 coaxial with the hole, twocoaxial side surfaces 47 on one side and the other of the cam surface. The cam surface has anoffset 48 in a position corresponding to closure, and a flattened part 48' in the position of maximum opening. Theside surfaces 47 have interrupted parts defined by flat corresponding surfaces, 49. Thedistal component 42, seen better in Figure 7, has abody 50, atang 51 for the intermediate component, and atang 52 transverse thereto. Thebody 50 has a throughhole 53. Theintermediate component 40 is made up essentially by a bar that is hollow or at least provided with engagement holes for the tangs at its extremities. Themain arm 14 can thus be assembled in a chosen length by mounting anintermediate component 40 of a suitable length on theend components block 12 with thehole 45 rotatable around the axis a1 and on the distal element with thehole 53 on the axis a3. It should be noted that to allow savings in space in the closed condition, the side p1,3 of the parallelogram is at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the main arm. - A preferred mode of assembly of the
component 38 on the axis a1 is by means of thrust bearings (not illustrated). The main arm thus mounted can rotate form the closed position of figure 1 to the open position of Figure 3, and vice versa; during rotation, thewheel 32 engages thecam surface 46, and passes with a snap action on to thesurface 48, when the arm reaches the closing position, rendering said position stable, or passes with a snap action to the surface 48' in the maximum opening position, rendering the position stable. - The transport arm 16 (Figure 8) is generally a single bar-shaped casting, with a staggered offset
distal portion 55 and acavity 56 in the proximal portion facing the main arm, to allow a position closer to the main arm.Reference numerals arms 16 and of thecomponents 40 allows the same device to be adapted to different door sizes. - The
distal element 18, Figure 9, is preferably in the form of an L-shaped element in a plan view, with abody 60 wherefrom opposite facingtongues 61 extend. - The tongues have coaxial through
holes body 60 has at the cavity bottom 63, 64, fixing and adjustment holes for the door: in particular vertical adjustment holes 65, 65, horizontal adjustment holes 66,66 and depth adjustment holes 67, 67 can be seen. A pair ofcoaxial holes 68 defines the axis a4. Theelement 18 is mounted with thetongues 61 on the body of theelement 42, with theholes upper projections holes - With reference now to Figure 2, it can be noted that the two
devices 10, cooperating and of the same size, are mounted one on the base B of the structure S of the item of furniture and the other on the top C of the structure. A letter F indicates the side of the structure. The two devices are rigidly connected by means of avertical rod 70, in engagement on the facingtangs 52 of thedistal elements 42 of the devices. - Lastly, Figure 10 illustrates a
bracket 71 of the device, designed to be mounted on the door to be assembled, in one of two positions, spaced apart, corresponding to the positions of the distal elements. Thebracket 71 has two horizontallyelongated slots 72, for adjustment of the horizontal position of the door on the device, and holes 74 for fixing of the mechanism to the door. Twoslots projections brackets 71 are first mounted on the door, and then the door can be hung precisely on the device through engagement of theslots 82 on theprojections 81, so that assembly can be completed by a single operator. - With reference to figures 1 and 3, it can be noted that the device allows a very wide movement of the door parallel to itself. In particular, in the retracted or closed condition illustrated in Figures 1 to 6, the offset form of the transport arm, the presence of the
cavity 56 and of thebevels 49 allows the arms to be disposed close together or, in other words, the plane p1,2 to be disposed with large angles with respect to the plane p 1,3. - It is understood that the variants to what has been described that are accessible to a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims.
