Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for vertically driving furniture piece wings.
  • the inventive device can be applied to an inner portion of a furniture piece, for allowing a balanced vertical sliding of wing elements applied to the furniture piece.
  • the vertically slidable wings are conventionally driven by driving mechanisms designed for providing a proper and reliable operation thereof.
  • Yet another requirements in making furniture pieces including slidable wings, is that to provide a properly balanced smooth movement of their slidable wings.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such a driving device for vertically driving furniture piece slidable wings, which can be easily and quickly applied inside a furniture piece and which provides a well balanced sliding of sliding wings applied to said furniture piece.
  • a main object of the invention is to provide such a slidable wing driving device which is very advantageous from a mere ergonomic standpoint.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide such a wing driving device which allows to optimally exploit the space of the furniture piece it is applied to.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a wing driving device which is very strong and reliable in operation.
  • Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide such a wing driving device which, owing to its specifically designed constructional characteristics, is very reliable and safe in operation.
  • a driving device for vertically driving furniture piece wings characterized in that said driving device comprises a multiple hoist construction, associated with a body of the furniture piece including at least a vertically slidable wing, said construction including a holding body for holding a piston which is associated, at a top thereof, with a transmission plate, rigid with said holding body, said piston including a piston stem having a free end portion to which a wheel carrier is associated with, for engaging a cable having an end portion thereof rigid with a furniture piece wing and the other end portion thereof rigid with said transmission plate.
  • the wing driving device comprises pairs of section members 1, provided for application on inner sidewalls of furniture pieces which are designed to include vertically slidable furniture piece wings 3 therein.
  • Said section members 1 comprise a respective inner housing seat 4 for housing a hoist element construction 5, for equilibrating or balancing the weight of the slidable wing 3.
  • said section members 1 comprise a respective housing seat or recess 6, therealong slides a contoured section member 7, operating as a support element for the wing 3.
  • said wing 3 is supported by two contoured section members 7, one on each side of said wing 3.
  • Said contoured section member 7 comprises, on the inside thereof, a rack element 8 and, on an outside side thereof, a longitudinal guide 9.
  • Said rack element 8 cooperates with a gear wheel 10, for properly guiding the movement of the contoured section member 7.
  • said section member 7 comprises a transmission assembly 11, associated with said longitudinal guide 9.
  • Said side section members 1 are preferably made of aluminium, and are applied to an inner surface of a sidewall of a furniture piece.
  • said side section members 1 are coupled to one another by a coupling bar 12.
  • each of said side section members 1 is housed the hoist construction 5, provided for compensating for the weight of the slidable wing 3.
  • Said hoist construction 5 comprises a pneumatic piston 15 including a piston rod 14, having a bottom free end portion 13 to which a bottom wheel carrier is applied, said wheel carrier comprising a bottom plate-like element 16 supporting two side pulleys 17 and 18 and a central pulley 19 thereabout a cable 21 is entrained.
  • said piston 15 is coupled to a top transmission plate comprising a top plate-like element 20 supporting two top pulleys 22 and 23, in turn entraining the driving cable 21.
  • the top plate-like element 20 in particular, comprises an anchoring detent element 24 for an end portion of the cable 21.
  • the other end portion of the cable 21 is applied to an element clamped to the furniture piece wing 3, preferably to the transmission assembly 11 associated with the longitudinal guide 9 the furniture piece wing 3 is rigid or integral with.
  • the transmission pulleys of the hoist construction are so arranged that the portions of the cable 21 between a pulley and a following pulley, are substantially parallel to the wing movement and, accordingly, being substantially vertical, without inclinations, thereby reducing to a minimum the forces in a direction perpendicular to the movement or sliding direction.
  • the subject driving device will be smoothly operated, and the components thereof will be subjected to a very small wear.
  • the sliding movement or driving can be applied to an inner surface of the furniture piece sidewall, or left exposed to the view, by applying it on the front of the furniture piece sidewall, or by using it in replacement of the latter.
  • the invention has provided a driving device for vertically driving furniture piece wings which is very simple construction wise and very reliable in operation.
  • the subject device in particular, can be applied to an inner portion of the furniture piece, and allows sliding wings applied to the furniture piece to be driven with a well balanced vertical sliding movement.
  • the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
