Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an openable assembly.
  • the present invention also relates to a furniture element comprising said assembly, a piece of kitchen furniture comprising said assembly and a method for opening an openable assembly.
  • a modular furniture element solution comprising a retractable, in particular horizontally sliding, door is known from document US-3567302 , for example.
  • a further example of piece of furniture comprising horizontally sliding doors is given in DE-9317794 .
  • Pieces of furniture generally comprising one or more retractable, in particular sliding, doors adapted to be superimposed in order not to increase the dimensions of the piece of furniture itself when it is open, are known.
  • furniture solutions comprising one or more vertically sliding doors are shown in documents BE-1002679 and EP-2821576 .
  • Such furniture solutions have the disadvantage of providing an upper compartment which is always inaccessible.
  • the moving system of the sliding doors described by EP-0953713 is rather laborious to actuate because, in order to make the second compartment accessible, it requires to release one of the two sliding doors to make it ascend on a rail having the tortuous path, forcing to provide a handle which protrudes from the visible face of the door, in which said handle is made so as to be gripped by a hand to allow users to release the door and actuate the moving system by pulling the handle towards themselves.
  • the necessary provision of such handle makes the appearance of sliding door less agreeable.
  • an openable assembly 1 is provided.
  • said openable assembly 1 is adapted to be used in a furniture element, as well as in a piece of kitchen furniture 10, although the use of an openable assembly 1 according to the invention is not limited to a furniture element. Indeed, an openable assembly according to the invention can be used in all types of containers.
  • Said openable assembly 1 comprises at least one first container 2, comprising first container walls which at least partially delimit at least one first compartment 4.
