Description

Plastic cupboard

The present invention relates to a plastic cabinet.

Plastic cabinets that have a body that delimits a hole, a first and at least a second door oscillable between an opening position and a closing position of the hole, a first handle supported by a first support have long been on the market. elongate applied to the first door and a second handle supported by a second elongated support applied to the second door.

One of the main limits of plastic cabinets of this type is linked to the instability of the closing position of the doors that can sometimes be opened involuntarily due to external events such as knocks, wind, vibrations, etc.

With the involuntary opening of the doors on the one hand the primary function of protecting the contents of the closet is missing, on the other, unpredictable obstacles are created that jeopardize the safety of those who pass close to the closet.

Some versions of cabinets provide a lock that holds the handles together.

The padlock can be lost, it requires the use of a key that can be difficult to handle especially by elderly people, and in any case it alters the aesthetic appearance of the closet.

The purpose proposed by the present invention is, therefore, to eliminate the regretted inconveniences of the known technique, by making a plastic cabinet that locks the doors properly in the closed position.

Within the scope of this task, an objective of the invention is to make a plastic cabinet that has a way of locking the closing position of the doors that can be operated very simply.

Another objective of the present invention is to make a plastic cabinet that can present a system of blocking the closing position of the doors constructively simple, but extremely effective.

Not as the last purpose of the invention is to make a plastic cabinet that can have a locking system for the closing position of the doors that does not significantly alter the aesthetic appearance of the cabinet.

The task in addition to these and other objectives, according to the present invention is achieved by realizing a plastic cabinet comprising a body that delimits a hollow, a first and at least a second door oscillable between an opening position and a closing position of the hollow , a first handle supported by a first elongated support applied to said first door and a second handle supported by a second elongated support applied to said second door, said first door and said second door being able to be juxtaposed in correspondence with said closed position of the recess, characterized in that said first handle supports a movable bolt between a released position and a closed position in a seat present in said second handle for locking the doors in said closed position of the recess.

Other features of the present invention are further defined in the following claims.

Advantageously, the operation of the bolt is extremely easy and can be carried out by even less skilled hands. The blockage thus achieved is extremely effective.

The bolt is imperdibly supported by a handle and therefore does not present the problem of loss typical of a lock.

In any case, it may be associated with an additional security locking system by means of a lock.

Other features and advantages will be more evident in the detailed description of the plastic cabinet according to the invention, which is shown by way of illustration in the attached figures, in which:

Figure 1 shows the cabinet frontally with the bolt in the unlocked position of the locking seat;

Figure 2 shows an axonometric view of the handles mounted on the corresponding juxtaposed supports with the bolt in the unlocked position of the locking seat;

Figure 3 shows a plan view of the handles mounted on the corresponding juxtaposed supports with the bolt in the unlocked position of the locking seat;

Figure 4 shows the cabinet frontally with the bolt in the closed position in the locking seat;

Figure 5 shows an axonometric view of the handles mounted on the corresponding juxtaposed supports with the bolt in the closed position in the locking seat;

Figure 6 shows a plan view of the handles mounted on the corresponding juxtaposed supports with the bolt in the closed position in the locking seat;

Figure 7 shows an axonometric view of the first handle mounted on the first support;

Figure 8 shows a plan view of a longitudinal section of the first handle mounted on the first support;

Figure 9 shows a side elevation view of a cross section of the first handle mounted on the first support;

With reference to the cited figures, a plastic cabinet 1 is shown comprising a body 2 that delimits a gap (not shown), a first door 3 and at least a second door 4 that can be swiveled around respective oscillation axes 9 and 10 between an opening position of the opening and a closing position of the opening in which the first door 3 and the second door 4 are juxtaposed with their perimeter sides 11, 12 distal from their oscillating axes 9, 10.

A first elongated support 6 for a first handle 5 has been applied to the first door 3 and similarly to the second door 4 a second elongated support 8 has been applied to a second handle 7.

Advantageously, the first handle 5 supports a movable bolt 13 between a released position and a closed position in a seat 14 present in the second handle 7 for locking the doors 3, 4 in the closed position of the recess.

Each of the handle 5, 7 develops longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the corresponding support 6, 8.

Each of the supports 6, 8 in turn is oriented longitudinally orthogonally to the oscillation axis 9, 10 of the corresponding door 3, 4.

The bolt 13 is integral with the first handle 5 and is located especially in correspondence with the perimeter side 15 of the first handle 5 distal of the oscillation axis 9 of the first door 3.

The seat 14 is instead located in correspondence with the perimeter side 16 of the second handle 7 distal to the oscillation axis 10 of the second door 4.

The first handle 5 is movable on the front face 18 of the first support 6.

The bolt 13 can be removed from the perimeter side 17 of the first support 6 distal from the oscillation axis 9 of the first door 3 to achieve the closed position in the seat 14, while the first handle 5 is contained in the profile of the front face 18 of the first support 6 both in the released position and in the closed position of the bolt 13 in the seat 14.

The first support 6 has support and guide means for the longitudinal displacement of the first handle 5.

The second support 8 instead fixedly supports the second handle 7.

The support and guide means comprise a first and respectively a second opposing tooth 19, 20 which develop rectilinearly in the longitudinal direction of the first support 6 and project in a niche 21 of the front face 18 of the first support 6 with the which delimit a first and second longitudinal groove 22, 23. respectively. From the rear face 26 of the first handle 5 protrude a third opposing tooth 24 and a fourth tooth 25 that develop rectilinearly in the longitudinal direction of the first handle 5 and which they delimit with the rear face 26 of the first handle 5 a third and respectively a fourth longitudinal groove 27, 28. The first tooth 19 is slidably inserted in the third groove 27, the second tooth 20 is slidably inserted in the fourth slot 28, the third tooth 24 is slidably inserted in the first slot 22 and the fourth tooth 25 is slidably inserted e in the second slot 23.

The front face 18 of the first support 6 also has a first interference member in a position adjacent to its perimeter side 30 close to the oscillation axis 9 of the first door 3 and a second interference element in a position adjacent to its distal perimeter side 17 of the swing axis 9 of the `first door 3.

The interference organs delimit the translation stroke of the first handle 5.

In particular, the first interference member comprises two ribs 29, 29 suitable for intercepting the perimeter side 31 of the first handle 5 near the oscillation axis 9 of the first door 3, while the second interference member comprises a tooth 32 suitable for intercept a projection 33 provided on the rear face 26 of the first handle 5, adjacent to the perimeter side 15 of the first handle 5 distal of the oscillation axis 9 of the first door 3.

The projection 33 has a ramp that, thanks to a slight elastic deformation of the first handle 5, allows the unidirectional overcoming of the tooth 32 during the assembly phase of the first handle 5.

The perimetric side 15 of the first distal handle 5 of the oscillation axis 9 of the first door 3 presents, in a staggered position from the bolt 13, a juxtaposable through hole 34, to the attainment of the closing position of the bolt 13 in the seat 14, to a through hole 35 present, in a staggered position from the seat 14, on the perimeter side 16 of the second handle 7 distal of the oscillation axis 10 of the second door 4, to apply a lock lock for the bolt translation lock 13.

Each of the supports 6, 8 has, in correspondence with its perimeter side 30, 36 close to its axis of oscillation 9, 10, corresponding means of crimping 37, 38 of known type in the body 2 that delimits the gap.

Each of the supports 6, 8 also has means 39, 40 of the known type of locking attachment with the corresponding door.

The locking fastening means 39, 40 comprise, in particular, protrusions that can be inserted into gaps (not shown) in conjugate form present within the thickness of the wall of the corresponding door 3, 4.

In the illustrated embodiment each of the doors 3, 4 is formed by two different panels between which the corresponding support 6, 8 is interposed to which they are connected by means of the fixing means 39, 40.

Obviously the same inventive concept applies to doors formed by a single panel or by more than two panels, to possibly even modular plastic cabinets that have only two doors or also more than two doors.

Preferably, the first support 6, the support and guide means of the first handle 5, the locking means 37 of the first support 6 and the locking fastening means 39 of the first support 6 are made of a single piece of plastic.

Preferably also the first handle 5 and the bolt 13 are made in a single piece of plastic.

The operation of the cabinet according to the invention seems evident from what is described and illustrated and, in particular, to lock the doors 3, 4 in the closed position of the hollow, the first handle 5 is grasped to be subjected to a transfer that carries the bolt 13 to close in its seat 14, while for the unlocking of the doors 3, 4 of the closing position of the recess, the first handle 5 is grasped again to subject it to an opposite movement that leads the bolt 13 to be released from the seat 14.

It has been observed in practice how the locking and unlocking of the closing position of the doors is especially easy to carry out, but extremely effective without excessive structural complication of the first handle

or its support.

In the locked position in which the handles are normally located, advantageously the blocking system is completely concealed, the handles being juxtaposed, so that the aesthetic appearance of the cabinet is not minimally altered.

In practice the dimensions may be any according to the needs and the state of the art.
