Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slider for wardrobe doors.
  • sliding doors of big wardrobes are supported at the top by wheels moving along a horizontal rail, arranged in the upper part of the wardrobe.
  • sliders (generally two), to which the present invention relates; these sliders essentially comprise an idle roller with a vertical axis of rotation, which engages into a guide provided on the wardrobe.
  • the sliders are also used for preventing the door from separating from the wardrobe; for this reason, the guide in which the rollers are engaged usually has a convex or " ⁇ " shaped cross-section, so that each roller, once entered, also acts as a catch to hold the door in its sliding plane.
  • the installation is carried out by lifting the doors in order to lay the wheels on the rail at the top of the wardrobe; the lower portion of the door comprising the slider is then positioned and the roller is inserted into its guide.
  • spring mechanisms which push a swing arm on which the roller is mounted, as in the case of European patent application No. 195 880 ; in this case as well, the roller has a vertically oriented axis of rotation, so that to enter the guide it must be inserted through some side aperture, similarly to the above-described solution, or through the open ends of the guide itself, thus involving the same problems as mentioned before.
  • Another example is disclosed in document EPO388 623A .
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is therefore that of providing a slider for sliding doors of wardrobes and the like, the structural and functional characteristics of which can overcome the above-mentioned limits of known sliders.
  • the idea to solve this problem is that of using a slider in which the roller can move autonomously between an inoperative position, wherein it is moved away from the guide, and an operative position, wherein it is engaged in the guide.
  • the roller can be tilted over between said positions, with a rotary movement about an axis that may be either perpendicular or parallel to the door plane;
  • the slider comprises roller supporting means that allow the roller to tilt over autonomously, i.e. without needing a manual action by a person.
  • reference numeral 1 designates as a whole a wardrobe fitted with sliders according to the invention, which comprises a typical wardrobe structure 2 closed by sliding doors; for simplicity, the drawings only show one door 3, which is the innermost sliding door; hence, reference will hereafter be made to said door: the following description will nevertheless also apply to the outermost wardrobe door, not shown in the drawings.
  • FIG. 2 A first example of these sliders is shown in the exploded view of Fig. 2 , wherein it can be seen that it comprises a support plate 11 with three holes 12 intended for screws (not shown) to be used for fastening it to wardrobe door 3; in front of plate 11 there is an elastic holding clamp 13, a bushing 14 supporting roller 15 of the slider extending between the arms thereof.
  • roller 15 is idle with respect to a pin 16 protruding transversally from a prismatic body 17, which is mounted to bushing 14 and is free to rotate about an axis Z perpendicular to the plane of door 3; furthermore, on the two opposite sides of prismatic body 17 there are respective curvilinear grooves 20 housing a corresponding pin 19 provided on the arm of holding clamp 13.
  • Bushing 14 and body 17 are joined together and fastened to plate 11 by a screw 22.
  • roller 15 When slider 10 is in the operative condition, i.e. when door 3 is mounted to wardrobe structure 2, roller 15 is engaged in a guide 25 having a convex cross-section (" ⁇ " shape) and consisting of a metal section or the like; in the illustrated example, the section also comprises another guide next to this one, arranged in a slightly lower position, for engaging the roller of the second wardrobe door, not shown in the drawings.
  • a guide 25 having a convex cross-section (" ⁇ " shape) and consisting of a metal section or the like; in the illustrated example, the section also comprises another guide next to this one, arranged in a slightly lower position, for engaging the roller of the second wardrobe door, not shown in the drawings.
  • door 3 is first mounted at the top by inserting wheels 6 of supports 5 into rail 7 provided on wardrobe top face 8: the door will thus remain suspended, so that the installer will not have to bear its entire weight.
  • door 3 can pivot slightly and be brought close to the bottom against the guide 25 provided on the wardrobe structure, while roller 15 is in the initial position of rest shown in Figs. 3a ), 4a), 5a), 6a).
  • roller 15 touches wall 26 of guide 25 (see Fig. 6b ), the force applied to it, which is directed perpendicularly to the plane of door 3, is transmitted axially to prismatic body 17, thereby turning it through the effect of the relative motion between grooves 20 and pins 19 of holding clamp 13.
  • this relative motion is a screw-like motion of body 17 along the curvilinear extension of grooves 20, similar to a screw turning along its thread: it follows that body 17, besides turning, will also translate axially towards plate 11, as becomes apparent when comparing the initial inoperative position of Figs. 3a ), 5a), 6a) with the final operative position of Figs. 3c ), 5c), 6c).
  • roller 25 is arranged horizontally and is engaged in guide 25, thus accompanying the sliding door while at the same time preventing it from separating from the wardrobe.
  • the arms of holding clamp 13 get stretched out slightly in an elastic manner as the (beveled) corners of the body come in contact with the arms ( Figs. 3b, 4b, 5b ); however, pins 19 stay inserted in body grooves 20. Since body 17 has a prismatic shape, preferably a parallelepiped shape, the arms of holding clamp 13 can be used for holding it stably in the operative or inoperative condition.
  • grooves 20 begin and end on respective faces of prismatic body 17: when pins 19 match said points during the rotation, the arms of holding clamp 13 become juxtaposed to the opposite faces of body 17, thereby holding it stably in position.
  • the elasticity of the arms of holding clamp 13 provides a snap-type catch adapted to stop the rotation of body 17.
  • roller 15 of the slider may engage guide 25 in any point thereof, unlike in the aforementioned French patent, wherein said engagement only takes place at the apertures provided along the guide.
  • prismatic body 17 can in any case be reversed; should the door have to be dismounted, the operator will just have to move it away from guide 25 in order to turn body 17 in the reverse direction, thus disengaging the roller 15 from the guide 25.
  • curvilinear grooves 20 on prismatic body 17 and pins 19 of holding clamp 13 may be reversed, i.e. the pins may be provided on the body and the grooves on the holding clamp.
  • FIGs. 7 to 11 refer to a second example of a slider 10' in accordance with this invention.
  • roller 15 is supported by a body 27 which can turn about a horizontal axis Z', parallel to the door; in order to rotate body 27 and move roller 15 from the inoperative position ( Figs. 7a , 8a ) to the operative position ( Figs. 7c , 8c ), protruding arms 28 are provided on body 27.
  • body 27 supporting roller 15 is movable between an inoperative position and an operative position; in order for this latter position to be held, the slider is provided with snap-type coupling means, which will be described in detail below.
  • body 27 is preferably made of a plastic material, such as polyethylene, Teflon ® and the like, and is mounted to a base 30 made of the same material; for this purpose, the ends of body 27 are provided as pins 31, which are supported by respective bearing-type seats 32 provided on base 30.
  • support plate 33 is fastened to support plate 33 by means of hooks 34, adapted to be coupled to matching slots 35 provided in support plate 33.
  • body 27 is held in the operative position through snap-type coupling means, which in this case consist of a cursor 100, also made of a plastic material such as polyethylene, Teflon ® and the like.
  • snap-type coupling means which in this case consist of a cursor 100, also made of a plastic material such as polyethylene, Teflon ® and the like.
  • Cursor 100 ( Fig. 9 ) is vaguely shaped like an 'H' formed by two portions 36 and 37, respectively a front and a rear portion, which are substantially parallel to each other and connected together by a third transversal portion 38.
  • Front portion 36 of the cursor is used as a handle, so that it can be used by an operator for removing the roller in view of any maintenance work to be carried out when slider 10' is mounted to door 3.
  • a raised head 39 having a catch 40; at the sides of the latter, two wings 37 extend which, when the slider is assembled, are positioned on base 30 against suitable rear boards 41.
  • Fig. 11 shows the sequential steps of the operation of the slider and of the above-described coupling cursor 100.
  • this embodiment of the invention provides a removable roller base: this feature allows the roller to be replaced easily in the event of a failure, without requiring the metal plate fastened to the sliding door to be replaced as well.
  • the above-mentioned door is the innermost door of the wardrobe, but all the above also applies to the outermost door, for which only small adaptations are necessary.
  • Fig. 12 shows an exploded view of a variant of the previous slider, intended for the outermost door.
