  • the linking means 13 of the invention engages with the second one of the doors, i.e. the upper doors 8, 9, to pull it open. Conversely, when one of the upper doors 8, 9 is opened (see figures 7 and 8 ) the linking means 13 disengages such that the lower door 10, 11 of the corresponding pair remains closed.
  • the linking means 13 are configured to be concealed from a user in any position of the doors 8, 9, 10, 11 to prevent any alteration thereof and provide a plain visible front surface for the doors 8, 9, 10, 11.
  • means may be provided on one or more of the sliding doors to ensure that the doors close automatically when not being accessed.
  • example arrangements that could be used to achieve this can be a trail mechanism 15 fixed to the back surface of door 8 with a rope or cable tensed over a pulley 16 on the edge of the door 8 with the free end thereof connected to the closest edge of the second upper door 9 in the closed position of the doors.
  • Such a configuration ensures that when any of the upper doors 8, 9 are opened this pulls the rope connected to the trail 15, which automatically rewinds the rope once the opened door is released free or closed by a user.
  • Similar arrangements may also be used for automatically reclosing the lower doors 10, 11 of the door unit 1.
  • closing mechanisms may include a hydraulic piston arranged by a sliding door in a closed position or a pivoting weight configuration which, again, biases the sliding door towards a closed position.
  • the present invention provides a set of cabinet doors that enables a retailer to simply and effectively meet changing legislation in respect of the display of certain products.
