Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cabinet apparatus provided with means adapted to effect outwardly movement of one or more receptacles movably mounted in a compartment of the cabinet.
- US Patent No. 4,087,140 discloses a cabinet having a receptacle mounted on guide means in a storage compartment for movement along a horizontal path.
- a main door is movable about a main axis for exposing and closing the general opening to the compartment itself.
- Mounted on and forming part of this main door is a secondary door movable about its own axis with the axes of the two doors being asymmetric with and non- parallel to each other.
- Magnetic means are provided , including an elongated magnet and an elongated armature that are in full engagement when the secondary door is closed and throughout the extent of its movement when it alone is moved, but which become substantially immediately and progressively disengaged when the main access door is opened.
- a drawback of the cabinet disclosed in US 4,087,140 consists in that a double door arrangement is required to perform the extraction of the receptacle and the accessing to the compartment.
- a single door is dedicated to a single function.
- This embodiment is not only complicated to be made but it cannot guarantee, with a sufficient grade of reliability, that the receptacle is not moved when the main door is opened. This is due to the fact that the magnetic latch always engages the receptacle when the doors are closed.
- the rapidity with which the magnetic connection is disengaged depends on how quick the opening movement is, therefore a limited but not completely null extent of the movement imparted to the receptacle by the main door opening always exists.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the noted problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited known art and thus providing a cabinet apparatus that allows the user to customarily set which receptacles have to be moved when opening the door or setting the cabinet to simply open the door for accessing the compartment without moving any movable receptacle provided in the compartment.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet apparatus simple to be made and provided with means for effecting movement of one or more receptacles that can be applied not only in the cabinet of the present invention but also able to be applied on already existing cabinets having movable receptacles.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet apparatus having a magnetic latch of improved reliability compared to latches of known types, the apparatus according to the invention being able to ensure that a receptacle is not moved at all if desired.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a cabinet apparatus according to the present invention
- Figure 2 shows an perspective view of a receptacle having means to interconnect the receptacle to a closure member
- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a closure member provided with magnetic means
- Figure 4 shows a plan view of the operating means for moving the magnetic means
- Figure 5 shows a sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 4;
- Figure 6 shows a sectional view taken along line 6-6 of Fig. 4;
- a cabinet apparatus 1 embodied, as a mere example, in a dishwashing machine.
- the apparatus 1 comprises a compartment 2 in which receptacles 3 are movably mounted on side tracks 4 such that they can slide along the track path.
- the arrangement of the mounting means allowing the receptacles 3 to slide is known per se and can consist, for example, in two parallel channels each of which has flanges to guide side wheels placed on the receptacles 3.
- the compartment 2 has an access opening 6 that is closed by a closure member or door 7.
- This door 7 is mounted on the cabinet 1 for opening movement in a horizontal direction by a conventional hinge that is positioned for door movement about a horizontal axis.
- each receptacle 3 is provided with a bracket 9 as shown in Figure 2 in which the receptacle 3 is in the form of a dish rack.
- the bracket 9 is connected to the receptacle 3 so that it can rotate and translate.
- a tubular ferromagnetic element 10 is carried by the bracket 9 and can engage magnetic means 11 located on the rear surface of the closure member 7 in a position facing the receptacle 3 when the door 7 is in a closed position.
- the door 7 When it is desired to remove the content of the receptacle 3 or simply accessing the compartment 2, the door 7 is moved from its closed position to an outwardly extending position. If a magnetic connection of the tubular element 10 to the magnetic means 11 mounted on the door 7 is established, the receptacle 3 slides out to a forward extended position as shown in Fig. 1. The magnetic connection of the bracket 9 to the magnetic means 11 remains unbroken for a first portion of the door aperture rotation and then it breaks as a consequence of the arched trajectory of the magnetic means 11 driven by the door movement and the linear trajectory of the receptacle. When the magnetic connection has broken, the moved receptacle 3 remains in a forward position so as to make easier for the user to access it.
- magnetic means 11 are movable between a first operative position in which they effect movement of said receptacle 3 and a second resting position in which the position of the receptacle remains unchanged when the door 7 is opened.
- the position of magnetic means 11 can be correspondingly adjusted vertically by the user to follow the displacement of the receptacle 3. In this way the possibility to effect the receptacle movement when the door 7 is opened is maintained also when the vertical level of the receptacle is changed.
- the movement of the magnetic means 11 between the operative and the resting position can be a rotation or a translation or even a combination thereof, as preferred.
- the magnetic means 11 can be arranged on the door 7 by means of linear guiding means or pivotally fixing a portion of said magnetic means and allowing a second portion to freely rotate about the pivotal connection.
- Said magnetic means 11 can be arranged on the closure member 7 by way of operating means 12 that allows the magnetic means 11 to be movable between the operative position and the rest position.
- operating means 12 are in the preferred form of a knob 13 placed on the back surface of the cabinet door 7, in a position facing the forward portion 8 of the receptacle 3 as shown in Fig. 1.
- the knob 13 on its back side 15 facing the back surface of the door 7, has a housing 14 that receives the magnetic means 11 such that the front side 16 of the knob can be manually engaged by the user.
- a pair of spaced apart cavities 17 are formed on the front side 16 of the knob 13.
- the magnetic means 11 has an elongated shape extending perpendicularly to the hinge axis of the door 7 when they are placed in the operative position. In this way a magnetic connection between the magnetic means 11 and the bracket 9 through the ferromagnetic element 10 can be established when the door 7 is closed. Said connection can be broken after the door 7 has turned an angle ⁇ , that can be less or equal to 45°.
- a cabinet apparatus allows the user to set whether and what receptacles have to be moved in order to fully customise the cabinet.
