Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a slide assembly for use with a door of a furniture piece and, more particularly, to a spacer for setting off the door to permit the door to be both hingibly and slidably mounted to the furniture piece.
- Some furniture pieces for use in the office and home have doors for closing open fronts.
- these doors are hinged at one side that is adjacent to the sidewall of the furniture piece and swing towards the front in an open position.
- Very often the hinge arrangement provides an open door that extends well beyond the furniture piece. Consequently, to eliminate the problem of the open door getting in the way when space may be limited, furniture pieces today are designed with pocket door assemblies.
- the pocket door assembly permits the doors to be slid out and closed. When in the open position the doors are slid back within the recess of the furniture piece opening thereby reducing space requirements for the furniture piece.
- An example of a furniture piece is an entertainment center. Such centers have been getting larger with the advent of television sets that in recent years have been getting much bigger.
- entertainment centers may accommodate VCR, CD, DVD players, stereo receivers, speakers and other electronic equipment that is generally found in an entertainment center.
- the sliding pocket door has application, as well, in cabinets of all types, such as armoires, kitchen cabinets and other furniture items for use both in the office and home environment. These furniture pieces are generally finished furniture pieces with paint or varnished finishes.
- a cabinet with pocket doors in an assembly comprising a vertical carrier hingibly connecting a door and slidably mounted to upper and lower rails mounted to the cabinet sidewalls. After the door has been placed in the open position, it can be easily moved rearward with the carrier in the cabinet.
- Another mechanism is a scissors mechanism mounted between the cabinet back wall and the rear edge of the door.
- Yet another mechanism includes tracks mounted to the cabinet sidewalk A pair of pulleys is mounted below the rear portion of the upper track and above the front portion of the lower track. A cable is threaded around the pulleys with first and second ends attached to the door.
- Wood spacer blocks and u-shaped metal brackets have been mounted to provide sufficient space for the hinge to allow the door to clear the molding as the doors are extended from the cabinet. Some kind of spacer is generally required in order to permit sufficient clearance for the door to slide beyond the molding so that it may properly be closed.
- a common problem associated with wood spacer blocks is finishing. Prior to installation, wooden spacer blocks should be finished in a manner that matches the finishes of the furniture piece. Thus, not only is the manufacture of the wooden spacer blocks time consuming, so is the finishing.
- u-shaped metal brackets can create finger-sized openings. Adults may get their finger caught in these finger-sized openings. Although children may not get their finger caught, these finger-sized openings may make excellent climbing grips. Unfortunately, a child's weight can either cause the door the come off or overturn a furniture piece. In the first case, the resulting fall and the weight of the door may severely injure the child. In the second case, the weight of furniture piece may severely injure the child. Thus, there remains a need for a new and improved slide assembly for use with a door of a furniture piece which is sufficiently strong, regardless of door weight, while at the same time safe.
- the present invention is directed to a slide assembly for use with a door of a furniture piece.
- the slide assembly includes a pair of slides, an alignment element and a spacer that preferably is a spacer block.
- the pair of slides is for slidably mounting the door to the furniture piece.
- the alignment element is for aligning the movement of the pair of slides.
- the spacer which preferably is a spacer block, is for setting off the door to permit the door to be both hingibly and slidably mounted to the furniture piece.
- the furniture piece may be any one of fixed and movable.
- furniture pieces include a case good for providing interior storage space such as any one of a bookcase and a chest of drawers.
- fixed furniture pieces include a cabinet such as a kitchen cabinet.
- Other examples of furniture pieces include an armoire and an entertainment unit.
- the furniture piece may further include any one of framing and pilaster at an opening at which the door is both hingibly and slidably mounted.
- Each slide of the pair of slides may be of a type that permits the door to be both hingibly and slidably mounted.
- a slide is a roller type slide.
- a ball bearing type slide is another example of such a slide.
- a ball bearing type slide may include about 2 to 4 ball bearings per inch, preferably about 3 ball bearings per inch.
- the slide assembly may further include a mounting plate or pair of mounting plates in contacting communication with each slide of the pair of slides.
- the slide assembly may further include an alignment element in contacting communication with each slide of the pair of slides.
- the alignment element may be as simple as a bar extending between the pair of slides. Such a bar may be any one of a flat stock and u-shaped channel and conceivably made of metal.
- the flat stock and u-shaped channel may be extruded.
- the flat stock is extruded. Applicants have found that a flatness tolerance for the length of the alignment element of about 1/32 of an inch for up to and including about 120 inches, preferably, about 1/32 of an inch for up to and including about 240 inches to work well.
- the alignment element may be used to define the center-to-center distance between any one of a pair of hinges and the pair of slides.
- the slide assembly may further include a camber of the pair of slides. Such a camber enhances the operation of the slide assembly when mounted to the furniture piece. That is, the sliding of the door occurs more smoothly.
- the camber of the pair of slides may be between about 0.005 to 0.02 inch/inch (between about 0.286 to 1.146 degrees).
- the slide assembly may further include a pair of hinges for providing communication between the door and the slide assembly.
- the pair of hinges may be any one of a pair of high strength hinges and a pair of concealed hinges.
- the concealed hinges may be any one of concealed frameless hinges and concealed frame hinges. A specific example of concealed hinges is one of a geometric hinge.
- the slide assembly may be mounted so that the door has a horizontal pivot. Alternatively, the slide assembly may be mounted so that the door has a vertical pivot.
- the sliding pocket door assembly further may include a hinge mounting plate.
- the hinge mounting plate may be any one of fixed and adjustable.
- the adjustable mounting plate may be slotted to provide for slidable adjustments.
- the space is preferably a spacer block.
- the spacer block may be between about 0.5 and 2 inches thick.
- the material used for the spacer block is one that, among other things, may be receptive to accepting a fastener.
- the spacer block may be one of a wood and a polymer. Examples of some useful polymers include any one of an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), a polyamide, a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and a high impact styrene.
- Preferred polymers include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and a polyamide.
- the spacer is preferably a spacer block.
- a spacer block further may include a peripheral wall.
- a support rib may be included within the peripheral wall.
- the support rib within the peripheral wall may be a plurality of support ribs.
- the spacer block further may include a thickened section in the peripheral wall.
- the thickened section in the peripheral wall may be a plurality of thickened sections.
- the spacer block further may include rounded corners. Also at locations of contacting communication between any one of the peripheral wall and the plurality of support ribs and the plurality of support ribs wherein the spacer block further may include rounded corners.
- the spacer block further may include pilot holes for accepting fasteners.

- FIG. 1 there is shown a furniture piece 10, the slide assembly 12 and a door attached thereto.
- the furniture piece 10 depicted in Figure 1 may be an entertainment center with pocket doors in the opening such as that for holding a television set.
- the furniture piece 10 may be any one of fixed and movable. Examples of furniture pieces 10 include a case good for providing interior storage space such as any one of a bookcase and a chest of drawers. Examples of fixed furniture pieces 10 include a cabinet such as a kitchen cabinet. Other examples of furniture pieces 10 include an armoire and an entertainment unit. The furniture piece 10 may further include any one of framing and pilaster at an opening at which the door is both hingibly and slidably mounted.
- Figure 2A depicts the slide assembly 12 including a pair of slides 14, an alignment element 16, and a spacer 22 that, preferably, is a spacer block.
- the pair of slides 14 is for slidably mounting the door to the furniture piece.
- the alignment element 16 is for aligning the movement of the pair of slides 14.
- the spacer 22, which preferably is a spacer block, is for setting off the door to permit the door to be both hingibly and slidably mounted to the furniture piece 10.
- Figure 2B shows that the pair of slides 14 may be cambered.
- G! is for compensating for the weight of the door to maintain the movement of the door substantially true relative to the furniture piece 10.
- the camber Oi requires that the slide assembly 12 be manufactured in complementary pairs. Further, it is important to install the complementary pairs so that each slide assembly 12 has the slide 14 at the top of the door. Otherwise, rather than compensating for the weight of the door to maintain the movement of the door substantially true relative to the furniture piece 10, the camber 0! will exaggerate the sag in the door.
- top slide 14 has a longitudinal axis 28 and the bottom slide 14' has a longitudinal axis 38.
- longitudinal axis 28 of the top slide 14 and the longitudinal axis 38 of the bottom slide 14' are substantially parallel.
- the door sags because of its weight.
- the line 18 in Figure 2A represents a line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 38 of the bottom slides 14'.
- line 18 Corresponding to line 18 is an angle "Of' that represents the amount that the longitudinal axis 28 deviated from line 18.
- Another way of describing the angle "QT is that it is a measure of the amount that the longitudinal axis 38 of the top slide 14 deviates from a line that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the alignment member 16.
- the corresponding holes at bottom end of the alignment member 16 fall on a line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the alignment member 16.
- the corresponding holes at the top end of the alignment member 16 does not fall on a line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the alignment member 16. If the upper hole falls on a line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the alignment member 16 then the lower hole is offset just to the left of the line. Alternatively, If the lower hole falls on a line substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the alignment member 16 then the upper hole is offset just to the right of the a line.
- This camber 0. treatment as depicted in Figure 2B allows the pair of slides 14 of the slide assembly 12 to operate smoothly when loaded with the weight of a door in a furniture piece. That is, when the doors are open there is a moment acting on the slide assembly 12 as a result of extending the outer edge of the door.
- the camber treatment of the pair of slides 14 compensates for moment and permits smooth sliding of the door on the pair of slides 14 without sagging as the doors are moved back and forth along the pair of slides 14.
- the camber QJ may prevent catching or grinding on the slides.
- the camber C- may vary from anywhere from about 0.005 to 0.02 inch/inch (between about 0.286 to 1.146 degrees). In the preferred embodiment, the camber 0.
- FIG. 2C depicts the slide assembly 12 that includes a pair of slides 14, an alignment element 16 and a spacer 22 that, preferably, is a spacer block.
- the pair of slides 14 are for slidably mounting the door to the furniture piece.
- the alignment element 16 is for aligning the movement of the pair of slides 14.
- the spacer 22, which preferably is a spacer block, is for setting off the door to permit the door to be both hingibly and slidably mounted to the furniture piece 10.
- Each slide of the pair of slides 14 may be of a type that permits the door to be both hingibly and slidably mounted.
- a slide is a roller type slide.
- Another example of such a slide is ball bearing type slide.
- a ball bearing type slide may include about 2 to 4 ball bearings per inch, preferably about 3 ball bearings per inch.
- FIGS 2A, 2B & 2C depict a pair of slides 14 and Figures 3 & 4 depict a slide from a pair of slides 14. Also depicted in Figures 2A, 2B, 2C, 3 & 4 is a mounting plate 24 for tying the movement of the pair of slides 14 together through the alignment element 16. Another function of mounting plate 24 is to provide a means for fastening a spacer 22 to each slide of the pair of slides 14.
- the alignment element 16 is constructed to facilitate the concerted movement of the pair of slides 14. Any structure that accomplishes that function will be appropriate for use as the alignment element 16. Those skilled in the art will recognize such structures.
- One such structure is a bar that spans between the pair of slides 14.
- Such a bar may be any one of a flat stock and a u-shaped channel and conceivably made of metal.
- the flat stock and u-shaped channel may be extruded.
- the flat stock is extruded.
- Applicant has found that a flatness tolerance of the extruded stock for the length of the alignment element of about 1/32 of an inch for up to and including about 120 inches, preferably, about 1/32 of an inch for up to and including about 240 inches to work well.
- the alignment element 16 may be used to define the center-to-center distance between any one of a pair of hinges 20 and the pair of slides 14.
- the bar of the alignment element 16 is attached to the pair of slides 14 by way of the mounting plate 24 so that the pair of slides 14 are at a camber.
- This camber allows the pair of slides 14 of the slide assembly 12 to operate smoothly when loaded with the weight of a door in a furniture piece. That is, when the doors are open there is a moment acting on the slide assembly 12 as a result of extending the outer edge of the door.
- the camber treatment of the pair of slides 14 compensates for moment and permits smooth sliding of the door on the pair of slides 14 without binding as the doors are moved back and forth along the pair of slides 14.
- the camber may prevent catching or grinding on the slides.
- the camber may vary anywhere from about 0.005 to 0.02 inch/inch (between about 0.286 to 1.146 degrees).
- FIG. 2A, 2B, 2C, 3 & 4 depict hinges 20 of slide assembly 12.
- Each hinge 20 of the pair of hinges may be any one of a pair of high strength hinges and a pair of concealed hinges.
- the concealed hinges may be any one of a concealed frameless hinge and a concealed frame hinge.
- a specific example of concealed hinges is one of a geometric hinge (such hinges are available, for example, from Salice America Inc. of Charlotte, NC and Amerock Corporation of Rockford, IL).
- the slide assembly 12 may be mounted so that the door has a horizontal pivot. Alternatively, the slide assembly may be mounted so that the door has a vertical pivot.
- the sliding pocket door assembly further may include a hinge mounting plate 30.
- the hinge mounting plate 30 may be any one of fixed and adjustable.
- the adjustable mounting plate 30 may be slotted to provide for slidable adjustments.
- the hinge mounting plate 30 may be affixed, either directly or with the spacer block 22 interposed, to the slides 14 before the hinge 20 is installed.
- the hinge mounting plate 30 may be a fixed plate or an adjustable mounting plate.
- the hinge mounting plate 30 is an adjustable mounting plate.
- the mounting plate 30 is slotted to facilitate the finishing of the furniture piece 10 and for the final adjustment of the door. Concerning the finishing of the furniture piece 10, the slots in the mounting plate 30 allow the door to be extended beyond the face of the front. In this manner, the back of the door is accessible for finishing.
- Another advantage of the slots in the mounting plate 30 is that they allow the hardware to be used to with doors that over lay the face (e.g., the pilaster or frame) of the furniture piece 10.
- FIG. 5A, 5B & 5C depict the spacer 22.
- the spacer 22 is preferably a spacer block
- the spacer block 22 may be between about 0.5 and 2 inches thick.
- the material used for the spacer block 22 is one that, among other things, may be receptive to accepting a fastener.
- the spacer block 22 may be one of a wood and a polymer.
- examples of some useful polymers include any one of an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS), a polyamide, a high density polyethylene (HDPE) and a high impact styrene).
- Preferred polymers include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS) and a polyamide.
- the spacer block 22 further includes a peripheral wall 32.
- a support rib 34 may be included within the peripheral wall 32 that may be a plurality of support ribs.
- the spacer block 22 may further include a thickened section 36 in the peripheral wall 32 that may be a plurality of thickened sections.
- the spacer block 22 further may include rounded corners 40. Also at locations of contacting communication between any one of the peripheral wall 23 and the plurality of support ribs 34 wherein the spacer block 22 further may include rounded corners 40.
- the honeycombed effect created by the support ribs 34 provides increased strength and yet also provides for a spacer block 22 which is much lighter than a solid block of injected molded polymer and cheaper to construct.
- the spacer block 22 also includes pilot holes 42.
- the spacer block 22 further may include pilot holes 42 for accepting fasteners. Such pilot holes 42 may be in one or more of the thickened section 36 of the peripheral wall 32. These pilot holes 42 are used to mount spacer blocks 22 to the pair of slides 14. There are also pilot holes 42 to mount the hinges 20 to the spacer block 22.
- the spacer 22 may be manufactured by any appropriate means such as machining and the like. Injection molding appears to be a preferred manufacturing approach. Use of the spacer block 22 permits the incorporation of the slide assembly 12 in face framing or pilaster installation applications.
- the design of the injected molded polymer spacer block is such that once installed it provides an extremely stable platform that does not rock or give. This rigidity permits the doors to move smoothly and effortlessly along the slides 14 without binding, catching or sagging.
- the alignment member 16 rather than being a piece of any one of an extruded flat stock and u-shaped channel, it may be a piece of roller stock having flanges the make the rolled stock stiff there by maintaining the flatness of the alignment member 16. It should be understood that all such modifications and improvements have been deleted herein for the sake of conciseness and readability but are properly within the scope of the following claims.
