Description
- The present invention relates to a hooking device of a drawer for connecting a drawer, or another slidable component of an article of furniture, to an extractable part of a longitudinal guide for drawers or the like, which in particular is suitable for connecting the front portion of a drawer to the extractable part of a guide of a pre-assembled type.
- In general, in the furnishing sector, hooking devices are commonly used for realising a connection of the front and/or the bottom of drawers to the front end of an extractable part of longitudinal guides fixable to the internal flanks of an article of furniture, which devices, when so required, further enable disengaging of the drawer from the guide rapidly by means of a simple manual command.
- In particular, a hooking device of this type usually comprises a support body fixable to the front and/or to the bottom of the drawer, which body is in turn connectable to the front end of the extractable part of a guide by means of a tooth or a mobile hooking organ which projects from the body itself in order to be engageable in a hole or lateral cavity in the extractable part of the guide.
- For engaging and/or disengaging the hooking organ with the guide, the device exhibits an oscillating command lever, for example in the form of a separate element rotatably supported by the support body or realised in a single body with the hooking organ and the body itself, which is arranged below the bottom of the drawer and is manually activatable in order to move the hooking organ between a hooking position and an unhooking position.
- The majority of known hooking devices exhibit command levers conformed and arranged such as to be activated from the sides of the drawer, a solution which however is not very suitable for unhooking wide drawers, where the positioning of the hands on both sides of the drawer for activating the levers is a very uncomfortable position.
- Also known are hooking devices having command levers conformed and arranged in order to be activated by the front side of the drawer, which solution is however not very suitable for unhooking drawers located low down in the article of furniture, where the front of the drawer can be so close to the floor as to prevent insertion of the hands under it in order to activate the levers.

- The first and the second surface zones are preferably comprised on a same arm of said lever.
- Said first and second surface zones are preferably positioned on a part of said lever opposite said guide with respect to a fulcrum of oscillation of said lever.
- Said first surface zone preferably extends from the side of said second surface zone facing towards said support body.
- According to the invention said lever exhibits a hinge axis for hinging to said support body.
- In this case preferably said first surface zone extends on the lever in the direction of the front of the drawer, on an opposite side to the hooking member with respect to the hinge axis of the lever.
- Further, in this case said second surface zone preferably extends on the lever on an opposite side to the longitudinal guide with respect to the hinge axis. Further, in this case said hooking member is preferably realised in a single piece with said lever. According to the invention said hooking member is supported slidably perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the guide.
- In a further preferred realisation mode of the invention., said lever and said support body are realised in a single piece exhibiting at least an elastically yielding portion suitable for enabling oscillation of the lever.

lever 12 is oscillatable in the direction bringing the hookingmember 13 into the unhooked position in contrast with an automatic-resetelastic element 25 into the hooking position. - The
elastic element 25 comprises a flexible plate spring which exhibits an end solidly constrained to thecursor 20 and is interposed between thecursor 20 and the bottom 29 of theguide 27. - In the situation in which the
lever 12 is easily accessible only from a lateral side of thedrawer 2, the user with the fingers of his or her hand exerts a traction by pressing on thefirst surface zone 16 in such a way as to generate the activating force F1 with a perpendicular direction to theguide 3, which is suitable for causing thelever 12 to oscillate about theaxis 19. By effect of the oscillation, thearm 30 of thelever 12 draws thecursor 20 in translation, which cursor 20 is brought into the unhooking position at which theelastic element 25 is loaded by deforming elastically against the bottom 29 of theguide 27. On releasing the grip, the elastic element recuperates the deformation and automatically returns thecursor 20 into the hooking position. - In the situation in which, on the other hand, the
lever 12 is easily accessible only from the front side of thedrawer 2, the user, with the fingers of his or her hand, exerts a traction by pressing on thesecond surface zone 17 in such a way as to generate the activating force F2 with a parallel direction to theguide 3, which is once again suitable for causing thelever 12 to oscillate about theaxis 19 up to obtaining the unhooking as described herein above. - The present invention thus provides a hooking device that is particularly easy both for unhooking the drawer from a front side, and for unhooking from the sides thereof, according to specific needs.
Claims (9)
- A hooking device (1) of a drawer (2) for connecting a drawer to an extractable part of a longitudinal guide (3), comprising a support body (4) fixable to a front (5) and/or to a bottom (6) of the drawer (2), and a hooking member (13) movable between a hooking position and an unhooking position of the support body (4) from the guide (3), said support body (4) being provided with an oscillating command lever (12) for said hooking member (13), said lever (12) exhibiting a first surface zone (16) and respectively a second surface zone (17) for manual gripping configured in such a way as to be selectively subjectable to a first manual activating force (F1) or respectively to a second manual activating force (F2) in reciprocally transversal directions and destined to generate an oscillation torque of the said command lever (12) in a same direction in order to bring the hooking member 13) into the unhooking position, said lever (12) exhibiting a hinge axis (19) to said support body (4), characterised in that said hooking member (13) is supported slidably perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the guide (3).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to claim 1, characterised in that said second surface zone (17) is distinct from the said first surface zone (16).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that said first surface zone (16) and said second surface zone (17) are provided on converging sides of an angled portion (18) of the lever (12).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that said first surface zone (16) is configured such as to subject said lever (12) to said first activating force (F1) in a substantially perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction of the guide (3), and said second surface zone (17) is configured in such a way as to subject said lever (12) to said second activating force (F2) in a substantially parallel direction to the longitudinal direction of the guide (3).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that said first surface zone (16) and said second surface zone (17) are provided on a same arm of said lever (12).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that said first surface zone (16) and the said second surface zone (17) are positioned on a part of said lever (12) which is opposite to said guide (3) with respect to a fulcrum of oscillation of said lever (12).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to the preceding claim, characterised in that said first surface zone (16) extends from a side of said second surface zone (17) which side faces towards the support body (4).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer according to any preceding claim, characterised in that said first surface zone (16) extends on the lever (12) in a direction of the front (5) of the drawer (2), on an opposite side to the hooking organ (13) with respect to the hinge axis (19) of the lever (12).
- The hooking device (1) of a drawer to a longitudinal guide according to any previous claim, characterised in that said second surface zone (17) extends on the lever (12) on an opposite side to the longitudinal guide (3) with respect to the hinge axis (19).
