Improved guide device for the opening and the support of doors of furniture

Abstract

An improved guide device (10) for the opening and the support of furniture doors suitable for guiding and supporting the movement thereof both during opening and closing phases, comprising a container body (11) of substantially rectangular shape attached on the inner face of a lateral shoulder (12) of a frame of an item of furniture (14) provided with a door (16) fall-front openable via at least one hinge (18) attached to the frame of the furniture (14) and operatively connected to the container body (11) by means of a cable (20) attached to said door (16) via a fastening element (22) constrained to an inner face of the same door (16), said device which likewise comprises a body-slide (48) sliding inside said container body (11) and integrating means roto-translating with respect to a cogged profile or rack (32) of the container body (11) for a movement of said body-slide (48) and an unwinding / winding of said cable (20) in contrast to or assisted by a return spring and / or by damping means.

Description

technical field [0001] It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved guide for opening and supporting furniture doors. [0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to a guiding and supporting device suitable for application to furniture with openable doors for the purpose of guiding and supporting the movement of the door during opening and during closing. Background technique [0003] It is known that in furniture such as cupboards with fall-front opening doors, shoe racks, bathroom or kitchen cabinets, and similar furniture items, the opening and closing of the doors is usually permitted by means of hinge mechanisms. For the closing movement, a hinge mechanism is placed for the connection between the frame of the furniture and the door of the furniture allowing the front drop opening. [0004] The user manually acts on the door to effect the opening movement and usually manually accompanies the door again during the entire closing movement. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, although these devices are structurally simpler relative to those described above, these devices also have some major disadvantages related to the overall length dimension of the structure and to the The inclination dimension to accurately calculate the cable length needs to be related

As a result, they cannot be used to guide the movement of furniture with very small depth dimensions, such as the doors of shoe racks, which do not allow the application of a cable collection device on one side

[0011] A further disadvantage of the above-mentioned conventional guides relates to the fact that they are specially made for single-side (right or left-hand) and single-orientation application with respect to the furniture, as a result, must be installed in the warehouse having multiple spare parts in the
