Description

Device for moving furniture from machines and other objects

  The present invention relates to a device for moving furniture, machines and other similar heavy objects on the ground, when it is desirable to move such objects from one place to another. This device makes it possible to move easily from one place to another of furniture, machines, household appliances and the like using moderate effort, this being the result of a bearing which, as is well known, requires significantly less effort than that that would be necessary Pr'u F, 41 acar due 'Vel r "y-ir Oj 2 VV D; Iô-t 1 V" fvt 1 U 1: q X bul "The device that we are going to describe is preferably mounted paired with the front part of the piece of furniture or machine which should be moved from time to time It has an articulated arm which, in the rest position is in a retracted position, that is to say retracted , in which it is hidden, only a ledge, which is constituted by a neck part from a plate, protruding in such a way that when you want to move the piece of furniture or the machine, it emerges In this way, the rotation of said arm causes the support of a roller to drop, which normally , remains hidden, slightly above ground level and which, at the time of actuation

  of the device, comes into contact with the ground and allows the

  to operate immediately.

  It suffices to fix an arrangement of the device described in the present description to each of the front corners of the piece of furniture to be moved, the rear part of the body being provided with movable feet so as to ensure the stability of said body. The present invention will now be described by referring to the appended drawings, in which: FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are projections in different planes of the new device in its extended position in which the roller is not in contact with the ground; Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 show the mechanism in its extended position, the roller touching the ground and allowing the movement of the machine cabinet on which the device

has climbed.

  The elements designated by numbers on the drawings correspond to the parts described below,

  The cylindrical body 1 has at its upper end

  the shape of an annular projection 2 and, at its lower end of a plate 3 which, by means of screws passing through the holes 4 is fixed to the body 10 of the piece of furniture, the machine or

  the apparatus which it is desired to provide with the rolling means,

  ci in the form of a cylindrical element 5 mounted on an axis b which extends orthogonally in the form of a section 7 whose end is provided with the plate 8 provided with a flange 9 which, in the position recalled the device remains in a position contiguous to the front face of the cabinet 10, as can be seen in FIG. 3 The grooved extension 12 guides

the end of axis 6.

  The roller 5 is placed between the arms 11 which form a fork at the lower end of the cylindrical body 13 placed

  coaxially in element 1 being able to move vertically-

  inside the latter The ends of the axis trans-

  versal 14 exit through inclined openings 15 formed

  laterally in the body 1 and delimited by edges

  forced 16 which facilitate and limit the movement of said ends, The appendage or extension 17 having a grooved end provides support for the arm 7 when the latter is

  is in its extended position while the appendix or pro-

  long 18 supports it when in its extended position, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6 Thanks to the presence of the axis 14 between the inclined openings, the rotation of the arm

  7, facilitated by the plate 8, causes the lifting or lowering

  of said axis due to its pushing movement in the manner of a cam, thereby causing displacement towards the

  up and down the inner body 13 relative to the enveloping body 1, according to the needs of the user desiring

move the furniture in question.

  It is understood that the above description has not

  has been given purely by way of non-limiting illustration and that variants or modifications may be made thereto

  in the context of the present invention.
