CABINET AND ITS DOOR SOLUTION

The invention relates to cabinets and their door solutions. In particular, the invention is useful in kitchen cabinets, narrow aisle cabinets, caravan and boat cabinets and other similar spaces where space is scarce and must be used to the fullest extent possible.

Previously known cabinets have been evenly deep, seen from the side, they have been rectangular. In addition, they have mostly used standard 10-hinged doors. The disadvantage of such cables is their unsuitability for confined spaces. In the above-mentioned objects, for example, the mere opening of the door hinders other use of the premises. On the other hand, the depth of the cabinets is determined by the width required by the aisle-15 corridor, for example, or by the mutual location of the sinks and cabinets in the kitchen. Furthermore, the sharp edges and corners of the open doors of such cabinets pose dangers, as they are often at such a height that they are easily struck by their heads when standing up, for example in the kitchen, when dishes are moved from the drying cabinet to storage cabinets.

The presented problems have been solved by a cabinet solution according to the invention, which is characterized by solutions according to the identification symbols of the claims.

The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying figures, in which Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the invention, and Figure 3 shows a front view of a cabinet according to the invention.

Figure 1 shows a cabinet according to the invention applied as a kitchen dish drying cabinet. 1. The cabinet 1 consists of curved front wall frames 3, in which a working groove 3 is arranged for guiding the lamella door, which groove may be machined directly into the frame or it may be mounted on a separately railable rail. However, said groove 3 rotates through the upper frame of the cabinet to the side frame of the rear wall of the cabinet, to which the lamella door is thus moved when the cabinet is opened. The lamella door can be provided with its own lo-5 slot on the rear wall, in which case there will be two rear walls in the cabinet, between which the door could move, or the lamella door can move inside the cabinet, keeping the shelves separate from the cabinet rear wall. Furthermore, the sectional door may move in the space 10 between the rear wall of the cabinet 1 and the corresponding wall of the kitchen, or the sectional door itself may form the cabinet wall. However, the most advantageous situation is when the lamella door runs between the rear walls of the cabinet. In this case: both the sectional door and the cabinet remain clean, as no dust can enter from the space between the kitchen wall and the cabinet wall with the door into the cabinet.

Furthermore, the cabinet includes shelves 2+ which are relatively narrow at the bottom of the cabinet 1 but expand considerably by the top of the cabinet. Thus, the wider shelves at the top of the cabinet 1 always bring the necessary additional cabinet space to the kitchen. In addition, it should be noted that although the sectional door takes up space from the rear wall of the cabinet, the depth of this space is only about 15 to 20 mm, which is not very close. Approximate the usable depth of the shelves.

Figure 2 shows a cabinet 1 according to the invention in a simpler structure. The cabinet 1 of Fig. 2 has a front beam 2 with a straight beam, which simplifies the manufacture of the cabinet in question, but at the same time the idea according to the invention 30 is not fully utilized, because the cabinet has to be made narrower than normal. In other respects, the structure of the cabinet corresponds to the structure of the cabinet according to Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows a front view of the cabinet 1, the lamella door 5 of the cabinet being half-open.

The use of sectional doors eliminates the disadvantage of using a conventional side-hinged door. In addition, the lamella notch can be provided with devices that prevent it from falling into the hands of the user when it is partially open.

5 The devices can be spring rollers, friction strips or other similar relief / braking devices »The sectional door itself can be of any known type suitable for its use. If desired, the sectional doors can be equipped with opening devices, which can be, for example, electrically operated and, if necessary, also remotely controlled.

Although the present invention has been described with reference only to kitchen dish dryers, the cabinet according to the invention can be used in all other areas where opening doors have a disadvantage and where it is possible to widen the cabinet from the top, although widening at the bottom is not possible. Thus, the foregoing is in no way intended to limit the invention, but may be modified and varied within the scope of the appended claims.

Claims (4)
