Fig. 3 , wherein the striker (22) is engaged to the housing (21) of the upper wall (12), to a disengaged position, which is shown inFig. 4 , wherein the striker (22) is disengaged from the housing (21) of the upper wall (12). - The fastening/unfastening means (2) comprise retention means (23) connected to the striker (22) to push the striker (22) into the engaged position. The retention means (23) comprise a spring disposed in the frame (24) of the fastening/unfastening means and provided with a first end that is fixed to a lower surface of the frame (24) of the fastening/unfastening means (2), and a second end that is fixed to the striker (22) in lower position.
- More precisely, the striker (22) comprises a base platform (26), which is suitable for cooperating with the shelf (32) to move the striker (22). The second end of the spring is fixed to a lower surface of the base platform (26) of the striker (22).
- The fixed frame (30) of the recessed handle (3) comprises stop means (37) that act as stops for the sliding movement of the slider (31) relative to the fixed frame (30) of the recessed handle (3), stopping said sliding movement. More precisely, the stop means (37) comprise a first stop surface (37a) against which the slider (31) is engaged in order to stop a forward travel of the slider (31), during which the slider (31) moves the striker (22) to the disengaged position. The stop means (37) comprise a second stop surface (37b) against which the shelf (32) is engaged in order to stop a return travel of the slider (31), which is moved by the retention means (23) that push the striker (22) to the engaged position.
- The first stop surface (37a) of the stop means (37) coincides with a lower edge that defines the first opening (30a) of the fixed frame (30) of the recessed handle (3). The ending section of the slider (31) comprises a tooth suitable for being stopped against said lower edge that defines the first opening (30a) of the fixed frame (30) in order to stop a forward travel of the slider (31).
- The second stop surface (37b) of the stop means (37) coincides with an upper edge that defines the second opening (30b) of the fixed frame (30) of the recessed handle (3). The shelf (32) is suitable for being engaged against said upper edge that defines the second opening (30b) of the fixed frame (30) in order to stop a return travel of the slider (31).
- The slider (31) is moved downwards by a user until said slider (31) is engaged against the first stop surface (37a) of the retention means (37). The shelf (32) moves integrally with the slider (31) and moves the striker (22) downwards to its disengaged position. The striker (22) protrudes from the housing (21) of the upper wall (12). The door panel (14) is no longer locked to the upper wall (10c) and can be opened.
- When the slider (31) is released, the retention means (37) push the striker (22) upwards, in such manner that the striker (22) is moved to its engaged position. Consequently, the striker (22) moves the shelf (32) and the slider (31) upwards. The upward movement of the slider (31) ends when the shelf (32) is engaged against the second stop surface (37b) of the stop means (37) and the slider (31) is flush with the upper surface of the fixed frame (30) of the recessed handle (3).
- In order to lock the door panel (14) to the plurality of walls (1), it is simply necessary to move the door panel (14) close to the ending edges (1a) of the upper wall (12), of the side walls (10) and of the bottom wall (13). In fact, the ending edge (1a) of the upper wall (12) is advantageously configured in such a way to let the striker (22) overcome the ending edge (1a) automatically when the door panel (14) is moved from an opening position to a closing position.
- Because of the provision of the slider (31) and of the striker (22), the volume of the recessed handle (3) can be reduced in such manner that the door panel (14) does not need to have a higher thickness.
- Moreover, because of the provision of the striker (22), the fastening/unfastening means (2) of the piece of furniture (100) guarantee a stable connection of the door panel (14) to the walls of the piece of furniture (100), in such manner that the piece of furniture (100) can be also installed on means of transportation, such as boats or caravan vans, without the risk of accidentally opening the door panel (14) because of the movement of the means of transportation.
- Although this description refers to a door panel (14) hinged to the bottom wall (13) and provided with an ending portion (14b) that protrudes relative to the upper wall (12), said door panel (14) can be alternatively hinged to the side wall (10) or to the upper wall (12) and the ending portion (14b) can protrude relative to the side wall (10) or to the lower wall (13).
- Although this description refers to a piece of furniture (100) that comprises a plurality of walls (1) that define a compartment (V), the piece of furniture (100) can comprise only one wall (1) to which the door panel (14) is hinged. Said wall (1) comprises an ending edge (1a) against which the door panel (14) is stopped. An example of this type of furniture is a table with extensions, in which the panel is hinged to an end of the top of the table, in such a way to conceal the extensions disposed under the top of the table.
