Definitions

  • This invention relates to a shock-absorbing self-closing device for moving parts of furniture incorporating an actuating element, a spring unit or spring and a shock absorber, particularly applicable to the closing of sliding doors or drawers.
  • the first means for assisting the closing of drawers were based solely on making a recess on the guides of the drawers, so that when the wheels of the drawer reached that point they dropped down through their own weight, closing the drawer in its final section of travel.
  • Systems of this type did not ensure that the drawer closed correctly since it was necessary to displace said drawer until practically the end of the travel and, furthermore, because of the recesses, in the case of heavy drawers (like those used in kitchen furniture), the wheels dropping into the recesses made a noise irritating to users.
  • Another type of self-closer designed to ensure that the drawer or door closes correctly if the final position has not been reached are those incorporating a spring and trigger linked to a catch on the drawer or the door.
  • a spring and trigger linked to a catch on the drawer or the door When the spring was displaced into its open position, traction was applied thereto and it was fixed by the trigger. In its reverse movement, the trigger came out of its fixed position, releasing the accumulated energy in the spring that was displacing the drawer to its final, closed position.
  • this composition of the device caused an irritating knocking sound when the drawer reached the closed position.
  • shock absorber allows the high speed generated by the spring in contraction to be absorbed by the shock absorber in the final section of the drawer's travel, allowing smooth, gradual closing.
  • the present invention refers to a shock-absorbing self-closing device for moving parts of furniture, of the type having a trolley with guided displacement with an activating trigger locking its displacement in the armed position, in which the impulse spring is tensioned and, when activated, generates the self-closing energy with a speed controlled by the existence of a shock absorber.
  • the activating trolley is connected to the end of the spring unit by a transmitter wire configured as a pulley block loop between respective fixed pulleys and movable pulleys linked to the active end of the spring unit, producing proportionality between the active travel of the activating trigger and the elongation travel of the spring unit.
  • a self-closing device is achieved that goes into operation much earlier than the complete closing of the moving parts of the furniture. Because a pulley block of the spring or spring unit is linked to the activating trolley, it is possible to have a self-closing device that has an activating trigger with a very long arming stroke or active travel, which allows the automatic closing system to be activated much earlier than the complete closing of the moving part of the furniture. Owing to the introduction of said pulley block, it is also possible to reduce the force required, during the active travel of the device, to overcome the resistance exerted by the spring unit during opening.
  • the force to be applied in order to tension the spring unit and the distance covered by the activating trigger during the arming path will vary.
  • the greater the number of pulley wheels in the pulley block the less will be the force with which the spring unit opposes the movement of the activating trigger and the greater will be the distance that said activating trigger can cover in its active travel until it reaches a critical elongation in the spring unit, which is close to 25% of its initial length.
  • the service life of the mechanism is increased. Since this involves a self-closing device with a long stroke, the shock absorber shaft, which is linked to the movement of the activating trigger through the activating trolley, will be longer and will have a smaller cross-section, and it is therefore essential that the shock absorber should have its active stroke in traction, thus preventing said shock absorber from working in compressing and the possible occurrence of sagging, causing permanent deformations in the shaft of the shock absorber.
  • the support incorporates a reinforcing shell.
  • the pulley block mechanism is formed by at least one fixed pulley wheel and one movable pulley wheel.
  • Shock-absorbing self-closing device for moving parts of furniture, of the type having a trolley with guided displacement with an activating trigger locking its displacement in the armed position, in which the impulse spring is tensioned and, when activated, generates the self-closing energy with a speed controlled by the existence of a shock absorber.
  • Said self-closing device (1) has the characteristic that the activating trolley (3) is connected to the end of the spring unit (7) by a transmitter wire (10) configured as a loop of a pulley block (11) between respective fixed pulleys (4a) and movable pulleys (4b) linked to the active end of the spring unit (7), producing proportionality between the active travel (15a) of the activating trigger (2) and the elongation travel (15b) of the spring unit (7).
  • Fig. 1 shows the internal mechanism constituting the self-closing device (1), with the activating trigger (2) at rest, in contact with the activator positioned on the moving part of the furniture. Once opening starts, the activator drags the activating trigger (2) and the active travel (15a) starts in the self-closing device (1).
  • the activating trolley (3) is displaced via the channels provided on the support (13), pulling the transmitter wire (10) that runs over the pulley block (11).
  • the active travel (15a) covered by the activating trolley (3) is four times greater than the elongation travel (15b) covered by the pulley block trolley (6), which is joined to one end of the spring unit (7).
  • the force required to tension said spring unit (7) is four times less.
  • the activating trigger (2) locks the self-closing device (1), becoming partly inserted into the locking cavity (13a) provided on the support (13).
  • the activating trigger (2) locks the self-closing device (1)
  • the activator positioned on the moving part of the furniture continues to open, becoming detached from said self-closing device (1), which has its spring unit (7) tensioned, accumulating the energy required for automatic closing.
  • the shock absorber shaft (12a) which is linked to the activating trolley (3), is inserted without resistance into the shock absorber body (12a).
  • the valve piston (12c) and the valve cap (12d) are in the maximum opening position, allowing the fluid present inside the shock absorber (12) to pass easily from one chamber to another.
  • the activator again meets the activating trigger (2), the latter unlocks the self-closing device (1), and starts the return of the activating trolley (3) via the active travel (15a).
  • the spring unit (7) pulls the pulley block trolley (6), covering the return path of the elongation travel (15b).
  • the shock absorber (12) controls the speed of release of the spring unit (7).
  • valve piston (12c) and the valve cap (12d) of the shock absorber (12) are in the position that allows the minimum flow of fluid from one chamber to another, and this situation is maintained throughout the movement, controlling said transfer of fluid and the speed of closing.
  • a reinforcing shell (14) is incorporated into the outer part of the support (13) thereof. A more robust and wear-resistant product is produced thereby.
