Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dampened opening guide for sliding parts of furniture, such as drawers or the like.
  • An example of these accessories so far developed consists of a device to be applied to a guide, composed of a fixed part and a movable part, which allows the drawer to be opened with a simple push.
  • the guide provided with this accessory should open the drawer at least partly automatically.
  • guides composed of a fixed part and a movable part, equipped with deceleration devices, are known and used. These devices are provided for dampening the velocity of the parts of furniture in reciprocal movement a moment before the complete closure of the movable part of the same. This is to avoid both noise and impact and also to prevent the latter from rapidly causing breakage of the guides or elements connected thereto.
  • a further problem currently present in the guides used is that, when in the opening phase, a drawer reaches the end-stop where a specific mechanical end-stop is provided, generating noise. This noise is generally due to impact between the elements involved in this type of coupling.
  • WO 2014/056764 simply discloses a guide for sliding parts that provides three sliding sections equipped with end-stops formed integrally.
  • the general objective of the present invention is therefore to solve the drawbacks of the known art indicated above in an extremely simple, economical and particularly functional manner.
  • a further objective of the present invention is to provide an opening guide that is noiseless and free of violent impact, for sliding parts of furniture, such a drawer or the like, that can propose a device suitable for the purpose without introducing particular and costly modifications.
  • Another objective of the present invention is rather to find a particular solution that can be introduced without incurring significant costs and complex modifications on the guides.
  • these illustrate, at least partially, a dampened opening guide for sliding portions of furniture, such as drawers or the like, according to the present invention.
  • Said guide can be produced, for example, by coupling two metal section parts, between which rolling elements are interposed, such as spheres or rolls or hinged wheels, positioned in two spaced cage-like elements that facilitate the sliding of the two parts.
  • a guide of this type comprises a first fixed part 12 of the guide, constrained to a piece of furniture, schematized in 14, and a second movable part 13 of the guide, constrained to a drawer, schematized in 15.
  • a cage-like sliding element 16 is provided, interposed between the two parts, fixed 12 and movable 13, of the metal guide, produced in two pairs and positioned in opposite parts of the drawer 15 at its long sides.
  • Said cage-like sliding element 16 is double, made for example of plastic material, and is conceived for facilitating the sliding and reciprocal translation of the movable part 13 on the other fixed part 12 of each side guide.
  • the fixed part 12 of the guide consists of a U-shaped section, of which a vertical side is constrained to the furniture 14 by means of a series of holes 17 in which screws or similar fixing elements (not shown) are positioned.
  • the other vertical side of the U-shaped section is shorter and is folded outwardly in a longitudinal edge 18.
  • Rolling elements 19 forming part of the cage-like sliding element 16 made of plastic material, slide on said folded longitudinal edge 18.
  • the movable part 13 of the guide is composed of a square-shaped section, of which one of the lower horizontal sides 30 is interrupted by a longitudinal slot 20 in which the shorter side of the U-shaped section of the fixed guide 12 is inserted, together with the longitudinal edge folded outwardly.
  • This movable part 13 of the guide has, at one of its ends, positioned inside an enlarged seat 21, a shaped rear stop 22, for example metallic, which forms an end-stop with maximum opening of the drawer 15 with respect to the furniture 14.
  • a damper 23 is inserted inside the enlarged seat 21 of the movable part 13, close to the rear stop with the maximum opening 22, situated therein.
  • Said damper 23 is made, for example, of plastic material and is conceived for acting on a rear stop 24 of the cage-like sliding element 16.
  • Said damper 23 thus interposed is capable of avoiding the noise created by the drawer 15 when it reaches the end-stop during the opening phase.
  • the damper 23 comprises a central body 25 from which a hook-end 26 protrudes, which is abutted on a flap 27 protruding upwardly from said enlarged seat 21 close to the rear stop 22.
  • a leg 28 with an enlarged end 29 also extends radially from the central body 25 of the damper 23.
  • the enlarged end 29 of the leg 28 is abutted below an upper horizontal side 31 of the square-shaped section of the movable part 13 of the guide, so as to provide a stable positioning of the damper 23.
  • Figures 7 to 9 show how this stable positioning of the damper 23 is obtained in the enlarged seat 21 close to the rear stop 22 of the movable part 13 of the guide.
  • the damper 23 is in fact snap-inserted in the enlarged seat 21 so that its hook-end 26 is abutted on the flap 27 protruding upwardly from the enlarged seat 21 of the movable part 13 of the guide.
  • the enlarged end 29 of the leg 28, which extends radially from the central body 25 of said damper 23, is contemporaneously abutted below the upper horizontal side 31 of the square-shaped section of the movable part of the guide 13.
  • a second further leg 32 that protrudes freely in front of the damper 23 towards the interior of the square-shaped section of the movable part 13 of the guide, extends radially from the central body 25 of the damper 23.
  • This second leg 32 is tapered with respect to the remaining body in a part facing said stop 24 of the cage-like sliding element 16. In this way, the second leg 32 is yielding and one of its enlarged ends 33 acts almost as a bumper. This enlarged end 33 of the second leg 32 of the damper 23 is, in fact, abutted against the rear stop 24 of the cage-like sliding element 16.
  • the present invention ensures that this does not occur.
  • the damper 23 in fact, carried by the movable part 13 of the guide, is abutted against the rear stop 24 of the cage-like sliding element 16, avoiding any kind of noise and also softening the contact.
  • This damper 23 inserted between these two elements is thus capable of attenuating or even annulling noise.
  • the damper 23 therefore has the form of a plastic "spring" which allows the stop of the guide to be dampened at the end-stop, in the opening phase.
  • Said damper 23, for example, is an extended plastic spring which is compressed.
  • this plastic damper has a span of about 2-3 mm, eliminating the noise made by the cage-like sliding element 16 (rigid element) as it bumps against the rear stop (also a rigid element).
  • the functioning of a guide according to the present invention is clear from what has been previously illustrated relating to the structure of the guide itself.
  • the dampened opening guide for sliding parts of furniture, such as drawers or the like, of the present invention thanks to its new and original provision, allows the speed of the drawer being opened to be dampened, a moment before its complete opening. This avoids any bumping or impact between the parts, which currently occur in the opening phase.
