Opening mechanism for complanar doors with combined movement

Abstract

An opening mechanism (1) comprising a longitudinal rail (3) mounted to the frame of a furniture unit, and for each door (2), a first slide (4) sliding along said longitudinal rail (3), a second slide (5) carrying said door (2) and sliding laterally on said first slide (4), said second slide sliding from a retracted position to a drawn position and vice versa , and return means for moving said second slider (5) back to said retracted position. The second slider (5) can rotate relative to the first slider (4) and has a bending space (8), and the guiding device (7) of the first slider is integrated in the bending space ( 8) in. Said first slide (4) also comprises retaining means (10), controlled by a control surface (51) located on said general guide rail (3), capable of being locked in said withdrawn position Said second slide (5) prevents said second slide (5) from being moved back to said retracted position by said return means when said door (2) is open.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of furniture, so-called furniture that opens coplanar doors by a combined movement in which the opening of said coplanar doors is accomplished by sliding one of the coplanar doors over the other , especially in relation to furniture (more generally involving spaces or openings adjacent to doors) where closed doors are arranged, for aesthetic reasons, next to each other so as to present the appearance of the most continuous surface possible. Background technique [0002] In order to open one of the coplanar doors, the door must be disengaged from the adjacent door (or adjacent doors), after sliding the door parallel to itself and placing the door in the adjacent over the door (or over one of the plurality of adjacent doors), causing them to perform a movement substantially perpendicular to the plane in which they lie. [0003] Opening mechanisms capable of causing such a double movement of a door are known and widely ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In order to mount the deflection device to the longitudinal rail, a part of the above-mentioned rail must be removed by a mechanical process, which increases the production time and cost of the opening mechanism

[0007] In addition, the opening mechanisms of the prior art have (or may have) an additional drawback: their length must be related to the length of the door in question, so opening mechanisms of different lengths must be produced (or stocked) to cope with the opening / closing of doors of different lengths. closed, which obviously increases the cost of production and inventory management, etc.
