PL120604U1 - Corner pushed-aside drawer for kitchen furniture - Google Patents

Abstract

The retractable corner drawer is based on a steel, mechanical frame that allows it to be opened, and then moved aside to fully slide out the next container drawer (P) from the inaccessible part of the cabinet, e.g. from the corner of the kitchen furniture. In the starting position, mounted on the side furniture ball guides, the drawer (S) with the front (F) is supported by a bar (02-05) on wheels (r1, r2) and is limited horizontally by the trolley bumper (06). After the drawer is pulled out, it is released from the wheels (r1, r2) and simultaneously attached to the stop (01-07) using a roller (r3). This enables the entire assembly on wheels (r4) to be moved along the track (03) to a position in which the container (P) can also be moved outside the cabinet by means of guides.

Description

Description of the utility model

The subject of the reservation, as a utility model, is a mechanism that allows the drawer to be mounted in a corner wardrobe of a set of kitchen furniture in such a way that, after it is fully extended, it can be moved further to the right or left side.

The basis for the proper operation of the mechanism is a properly constructed frame, which when the drawer is moved away causes the internal container to be simultaneously moved to a position that allows it to be pulled out of the cabinet with all its contents. The advantage of the structure is the easier access to the closed space of the lower corner wardrobe in the constructions of kitchen furniture, allowing for its full and free development.

The technical solutions used so far in this area did not allow for single removal of drawers and thus did not ensure very easy loading of the contents (e.g. dishes or food) from the top, as in any other drawer. They have the disadvantage that the inaccessible part of the shelves is only moved inside the cabinet to the access position. It is usually a set of two wire baskets or shelves, which makes it still difficult to put the contents in them. There is also a solution in which the set of shelves (baskets) can only be pulled out as a whole set, which also makes it difficult to load the lower shelf.

Moreover, the side ball guides used in the examples cited do not allow the containers to be overloaded. In addition, known constructions of this type do not solve the problem of the exact positioning of the drawer fronts. The lower corner wardrobe is closed with a typical door on furniture hinges and only after opening it, the entire internal mechanism is removed and moved. Another solution is to attach the door to a frame known as "magie corner". Here too, however, it functions as a single unit, with incomplete access to the second inner part. This is due to the rotary method of moving away the first baskets used in this case.

All the disclosed solutions described above lack some practical features. In particular, they make it impossible to open only the part of the drawers which at a given moment requires loading or unloading, without the need to open the door and remove all four shelves outside.

The product whose objections as a utility model apply to the following application, has the ability to precisely position the drawer front, which is an essential feature required in the aesthetics of the furniture. For interior designers, this creates great opportunities to attach front panels, and thus to use many architectural variants of a modern kitchen interior, and in particular to maintain the horizontal lines of drawers located at one height. "Corner pull-out" It is mounted on a frame made of steel sections, which allows for free movement of elements, both in the A and B directions (Fig. I). The transverse movement (A) is provided by the "trolley" (Fig. 01), traveling along the "cross track" by means of plastic wheels (fig. 03) with rolling bearings (r4). The longitudinal movement (B) of the drawer is possible thanks to a set of ball guides (PK), mounted on the side of the vertical part of the trolley, and a set of roller guides (PW) with high load capacity when the container is extended. The correct front position "F"; attached to the drawer is provided by rollers rl and r2 (fig. I) and a bumper limiting trolley movements (06).

After the drawer is fully extended, the roller r3 (fig. I) is attached to the "wheel catch"; (07) rests on the 01-07 limiter, stiffening the whole system so much that it can be easily moved away. The high-capacity rails used in the case of the second, inner drawer (container) allow for a large insert (load up to 30 kg) - the more so because the guides are mounted underneath the pull-out container ("P" in Fig. I). The steel shelves are additionally protected against falling out of the drawers. The whole frame is galvanized (nickel, chrome) or powder coated to maintain the appropriate high quality and aesthetics.

The individual stages of extending and moving the drawers are shown in the attached photos of the prototype. Both the assembly of the device (frame) to the furniture, the adjustment of the fixed fronts and the operation are extremely simple and require no additional explanations. "Corner pull-out" Thus, it opens up many new possibilities for kitchen furniture designers in the field of small interior architecture.

MA and Ryn

Claims (4)

Claims 1) The use of positioning mechanisms for the drawer front, which allows the drawer to return to the exact same place after being pulled out and put back into its original position without any slack. This is ensured by a suitable support with rollers and catch units consisting of bumpers and latches. 2) It is also a reservation that the structure enables the removal of single rows of drawers without the necessity of removing the entire contents of the wardrobe outside. 3) Fixing the second pull-out part, i.e. the inner container, on the guides fixed at the bottom to increase the load capacity of the drawer. 4) The internal transverse travel is carried out on plastic rollers with rolling bearings, and the track is attached to the bottom of the cabinet or shelf.
