Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support or holder for a cover or lid of furniture and more particularly to a support or holder for a cover or lid hinged to the said furniture, which comprises a sliding bar pivoted at one end to the cover or lid, and a guide connected to the body of the furniture and having a through cavity in which the sliding bar is mounted.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a holder for a cover or lid of the type described, which is simple and cheap to manufacture and at the same time functions reliably.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a device of the aforesaid hind in which the guide is pivotally mounted on the corresponding support wall about a horizontal axis running at the right angles to the surface of the wall and to the longitudinal axis of the sliding bar, with the through cavity in the guide preferably having an expanded portion, e.g. at the side adjacent the cover or lid or at the opposite side therefrom.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a device of the general character described which is marked by an extremely simple construction whereby the costs involve in the manufacture of such lid-holders are appreciably less than those with known lid-holders of comparable type.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device of the before described type in which the sliding bar has a locking screw, e.g. of plastic material, with its longitudinal axis running transversely of the longitudinal axis of the bar, which can be screwed in and out of a threaded hole in the guide and has its free end lying against a surface of the sliding bar, whereby in the fully inserted position it holds the sliding bar fixed in position within ,the guide and in which the locking screw enables the cover or lid to be locked in any desired intermediate position, quite apart from the fact that it helps to reinforce the braking action on the lid, since the friction between the screw and the sliding bar must be added to the friction occurring when the guide is tilted on the sliding bar while the lid is being opened.
  • a locking screw e.g. of plastic material
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned kind in which in the area away from the cover or lid, the sliding bar preferably has an expanded portion, seen in the direction ofthe bar width and the width of the indent: in this area away from the cover or lid, the sliding bar preferably has an indent, broadening out towards the free end, in the form of a longitudinal slot, the material in the central area of the bar being forced outwards due to the forming of the indent, whereby this arrangement ensures that the braking effect increases as the opening motion of the cover or lid continues to become stronger as the cover or lid approaches the open position.
  • FIG. I is a first embodiment of the invention, seen in side view and schematically represented;
  • FIG. 2 is the guide of the arrangement in FIG. ll, in vertical section, with the sliding bar shown in dotted lines;
  • FIG. 3 is the guide and sliding bar of a differentembodiment of the invention, in side view;
  • FIG. d is the arrangement of FIG. 3 in front view
  • FIG. 5 is the sliding bar of a further embodiment in side view
  • FIG. 6 is the arrangement of FIG. 5 in section on the linc Vl-VI of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7 is the arrangement of FIG. 6 in a view along the arrow VII in )FIGv 5, shown in part;
  • FIG. d is a further embodiment ofthe invention, in side View and schematically represented.
  • FIG. 9 is the arrangement of FIG. II in front view.
  • the device in accordance with the invention relates to a coveror lid-holder for a lid ll hinged at 2 to a piece of furniture 3,
  • the new holder has a sliding bar AtI which with its end 5 is pivoted at o to the cover or lid, and a guide 7 which is connected to the body of the furniture and has a through cavity through which the sliding bar passes and in which it is supported.
  • the guide is shown on a larger scale and in section in FIG. 2.
  • this guide 7 which is pivotally mounted at I3, has a through cavity Id through which passes the sliding bar 4I, the arrangement being such that upon closing ofthe lid the sliding bar slides in the guide cavity, and hence the guide, because of its pivoted disposition tilts on the sliding bar.
  • the object of this tilting is that through the application to the sliding bar periphery of two positions or points spaced apart on the wall of the guide cavity, friction is produced between the bar and the guide, whereby the movement of the cover and the sliding bar is braked.
  • this through cavity III in the guide has an expanded portion I5, while at the side adjacent the lid it has an expanded portion llo, these expanded portions being formed by part of the cavity wall running obliquely outwards, as seen at I7a, ll7b.
  • These obliquely running parts I7a, l 7b of the cavity wall extend in opposite directions.
  • the cavity ISI is provided with expanded portions both at the side of the cavity adjacent the joint I9 with the lid, and at the opposite side.
  • the expanded portions of the cavity at the oblique parts 20a, 20h of the cavity wall forming its two ends extend in opposite directions, forming different angles with the horizontal.
  • the points 2li, 22 from which the obliquely running parts of the cavity wall extend outwards are on opposite sides of the sliding bar and are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction of that bar. rllhe offset is such that the point Zil nearer to the position il@ of the sliding bar on the cover or lid is the farther from the pivot point ofthe slider on the furniture wall.
  • 'Ihe guide 23 is pivoted at M on a fastening plate 25, affixed in its turn to the furniture wall, e.g. screwed on at 26a, 26h.
  • the through cavity is in the half of the guide remote from the fastening plate.
  • the guide is formed as a platelike flat member of circular protiie.
  • the guide has a polygonel profile, though in this case too it is also formed as a flat member.
  • the sliding bar has a cross section the shape of a flat rectangle, and the through cavity in the guide is formed as a flat slot with a cross section corresponding in shape to that of the sliding bar.
  • the sliding bar 29 has at its end remote from the pivot point 3h with the cover or lid a stop 3l to limit bar movement; this stop comprises a rivet or bolt projecting from a side surface of the bar, with its longitudinal axis running transversely of the longitudinal bar axis.
  • the sliding bar may have a locking screw 33 whose longitudinal axis runs transversely of the longitudinal bar axis and which is screwable into and out of a threaded hole 3K5 in the guide: its free end lies against a surface of the sliding bar, i..e. against surface 37a, and when fully screwed up loclss the bar in its position.
  • This locking screw is applied to one of the broad sides of the sliding bar and is located at the side of the guide remote from fastening plate 25..
  • the guide has at each side a projection with a threaded hole 34, 35, these holes being preferably coaxial.
  • the locking screw is made of plastic material.
  • the sliding bar has in ad dition at its end remote from the cover or lid a portion which is widened as seen from the direction of the slot width.
  • the bar has an indent 38 of slitlike shape and broadening out towards its end. This indent is made by pressing in a punch or the like, whereby the material in the central area of the bar is forced outwards due to the formation of the indent.
  • This longitudinal indent of circular cross section, formed by pressing a punch into one of the flat bar sides at the end adjacent the furniture body thus increases in size, both sideways and in depth, in the area of the free end of the sliding bar, so that the bar cross section gradually increases in both directions and the friction is increased.
  • the guide 4S is pivoted to the furniture body Q37 at 46, so that in this case the pivot point is disposed above the cavity 41g for the sliding bar 39.
  • 50 is the lid which is hinged at 5l to the furniture body.
  • the sliding bar is preferably made of metal and has an electroplated surface.
  • the guide is preferably made of plastic material.
  • a support or holder for a cover or lid of furniture hinged to the said furniture comprising in combination a sliding bar pivoted at one end to the said cover or lid, its other end being a free end, a guide mounted on a support wall of said furniture so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis running at right angles to the said support wall, said guide having a through cavity running at right angles to the said horizontal axis, said free end of said sliding bar passing through said through cavity of said guide and being slidably mounted therewithin, whereby upon opening or closing said cover or lid on the one hand said sliding bar slides within said through cavity of said guide and on the other hand said guide pivots about said horizontal axis, the through cavity in the guide having an expanded portion formed by parts of the cavity wall extending in opposite directions running obliquely outward at the ends.
  • a coveror lid-support as claimed in claim l in which the points from which the obliquely running portions of the cavity wall extend outwards are disposed on opposite sides of the sliding bar, and are offset from each other longitudinally of the bar so that the point lying nearer to the pivot point of the bar on the cover or lid is remote from the pivot point of the guide on the furniture wall.
  • a coveror lid-support as claimed in claim l in which the guide is formed as a platelike flat member, a fastening plate affixed to the furniture wall, said guide being pivoted on said fastening plate with the through cavity located in the half of I the guide remote from the fastening plate.
  • a coveror lid-support as claimed in claim l in which the sliding bar has a locking screw with its longitudinal axis normal to that of the sliding bar, which can be screwed into and out of a threaded hole in the guide and whose free end lies against a surface of the sliding bar, so that in the fully tightened position it holds the bar in position with the u ide.
