Definitions

  • the field of the invention relates to devices used for opening and closing furniture doors and drawers and more specifically devices that have a telescopic mechanism determined by an exterior cylinder (that is attached to the body of a piece of furniture) and a piston that fits inside the cylinder and slides against a compression spring, so that a means of retention acts at the end of the piston's inward stroke in such a way that, if the outward end of the piston is pushed, this means of retention is released and the piston begins its outward stroke under the action of the spring.
  • This heart-shaped mechanism consists of a heart-shaped cam path followed, due to its geometrical form, by a freely rotating follower that travels around it.
  • the invention proposes a solution that consists of the outer cylinder having a tensed strap whose end presses against an inner wall of the piston, whilst this piston has an elastic laminar ramp and a rotating catch; the ramp is tensed so that its free end presses on the inner wall of the piston in a part that is longitudinally aligned with the end of the strap at a suitable distance, and at the base of this ramp there is a pivot that defines a looped cam path between its periphery and the interior of the piston, which forms a Y-shaped recessed portion on the part opposite the base of the ramp that is designed to receive the end of the strap; the rotating catch operates between respective deactivated and activated positions wherein its front face is deviated or longitudinally facing the end of the ramp, and this rotating catch has a slot that is designed to allow the insertion of the flat tip of a screwdriver and can be accessed through a triangular window in the outer cylinder so that the positions of the slot corresponding to the deactivated and activated positions
  • This design ensures that the rotating catch has a projection on its free end, which, in the piston's deactivated position, rests against the inner side of the end of a hook that emerges from the wall of the piston, the projection protruding to an extent that allows the end of the hook to pass it due to an elastic action; moreover, in the catch's activated position, its projection rests against the outer side of the end of the hook, whilst the catch rests against the inner wall of the piston whereon the strap is pressing in its resting state.
  • the tautness of the strap forces the end thereof to rise along the elastic laminar ramp following the looped cam path jointly defined by the follower and the pivot at its base; when the end of the strap reaches the recessed portion of the cam path opposite the base of the ramp, as the elastic actions of the compression spring and the strap act at once, the end of the strap is housed in the recessed portion and retains the position it has reached; when the end of the piston is pushed again, the end of the strap (due to the tautness thereof) takes the opposite branch of the "Y" shape to that by which it arrived and on passing it, the action of the compression spring causes the piston to move outwards, the end of the strap thereby reaching the opposite side of the ramp to that by which it rose and on reaching the end thereof, this ramp gives elastically and allows the end of the strap to pass it so that the piston may reach its extended resting position.
  • the piston When the catch is in its deactivated position, the piston achieves its greatest extension, wherein the end of the strap is situated at the inner end of the piston. However, when the catch is in its activated position, the front face thereof limits the end of the strap before reaching the inner end of the piston, thereby making the outward stroke thereof shorter than before.
  • the device proposed herein employs a mechanism that is different to the known heart-shaped cam mechanism and, furthermore, offers a simple construction with great functional reliability wherein rather than the path of the retention and propulsion strokes being a path followed by a freely rotating follower, it is basically the result of the elastic actions of the strap and the elastic laminar ramp; moreover, it enables the inclusion of a mechanism that makes it possible to selectively make use of two propulsion strokes of different lengths, so that one or other may be used in accordance with the needs of each situation.
  • the device is for opening and closing furniture doors and drawers and it responds to a general telescopic design comprising an outer cylinder (1) that is attached to the body of a piece of furniture and a piston (2) that fits inside it and slides against a compression spring (3) so that a means of retention acts at the end of its inward (or retention) stroke in such a way that, if the outward end of this piston (2) is pushed, this means of retention is released and the piston (2) begins its outward (or propulsion) stroke under the action of the spring (3).
  • a general telescopic design comprising an outer cylinder (1) that is attached to the body of a piece of furniture and a piston (2) that fits inside it and slides against a compression spring (3) so that a means of retention acts at the end of its inward (or retention) stroke in such a way that, if the outward end of this piston (2) is pushed, this means of retention is released and the piston (2) begins its outward (or propulsion) stroke under the action of the spring (3).
  • FIG. 1 The particular design proposed herein is shown in figure 1 and consists of the outer cylinder (1) having a strap (4) that is tensed so that its end (4a) presses against an inner wall (2a) of the piston (2), whilst this piston (2) has an elastic laminar ramp (5) and a rotating catch (6); the ramp (5) is tensed so that its free end presses on the inner wall (2a) of the piston (2) in a part that is longitudinally aligned with the end (4a) of the strap (4) at a suitable distance, and at the base of this ramp (5) there is a pivot (7) that defines a looped cam path (8) between its periphery and the interior of the piston (2), which forms a Y-shaped recessed portion (8a) on the part opposite the base of the ramp (5) that is designed to receive the end (4a) of the strap (4); the rotating catch (6) operates between respective deactivated and activated positions wherein its front face is deviated or longitudinally facing the end of the ramp (5), and this rotating catch
  • This design ensures that the rotating catch (6) has a projection (6b) on its free end, which, in the deactivated position of the piston (2), rests against the inner side of the end of a hook (10) that emerges from the wall of the piston (2), the projection (6b) protruding to an extent that allows the end of the hook (10) to pass it due to an elastic action. Moreover, in the activated position of the catch (6), its projection (6b) rests against the outer side of the end of the hook (10), whilst the catch (6) rests against the inner wall (2a) of the piston (2) whereon the strap (4) is pressing in its resting state.
  • Figures 2 to 4 show the deactivated position of the catch (6) that is produced by inserting the flat tip of the screwdriver (9) into the slot (6a) in the catch (6) through the triangular window (1a) in the outer cylinder (1) ( figure 2 ) and the paths followed by the end (4a) of the strap (4) during the retention stroke of the piston (2) ( figure 3 ) and during the propulsion stroke under the action of the spring (3) ( figure 4 ).
  • Figures 1 and 9 show that, naturally, the final positions of the retention stroke coincide whatever the activated ( Figure 9A ) or deactivated ( Figure 9 ) position of the catch (6); and a visual comparison of figures 8 and 10 shows the different length of the propulsion strokes according to whether the catch (6) is in its deactivated position ( figure 8 ; longer stroke) or in its activated position ( figure 10 ; shorter stroke).
