Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pivotable leaf of the concealed type provided with simple means which cause it to engage with and disengage from its guides without the aid of any tool.
  • pivotable leaves of the concealed type consisting essentially of a rigid panel, having a substantially rectangular shape and made of either opaque or transparent material, provided on two opposite sides with at least two projecting pins engaging in recessed right-angled guides which allow sliding and pivoting of the said leaves.
  • This type of leaf functions extremely well because it is sufficient to choose the shape, dimensions and the material from which the pins and guides are made in order to avoid any problems in terms of the sliding action.
  • difficulty is still encountered during disassembly thereof should it be required to carry out an operation, for example replacement, for any reason, of the panels of the same leaves in order to replace broken or damaged parts or simply change a decorated panel with another one having a different decoration.
  • a closure member for a piece of furniture comprises a perimetric frame, supporting a front panel, having two vertical side members each one carrying a guide and retainer assembly provided with two guide pins projecting into inwardly open tracks fastened to walls of said piece of furniture.
  • a door of a cabinet is provided with two lateral bracket members, each one having two guide posts to be engaged in an associated L-shaped guide track incorporated in a wall of a piece of furniture.
  • the bracket members are fastened to the door by means of a plurality of screws (see specifically the wood screw depicted in figure 6), so as to be able to assembly and disassembly the brackets to and from the door it is sufficient to screw down and unscrew, respectively, the wood screws into and out the door itself.
  • this operation is troublesome and time consuming enough and also in this case there is not a very great advantage with respect to the prior approach of removing a wall.
  • the system for engaging and disengaging sliding leaves of the concealed type comprises lateral right-angled guides and at least two pairs of pins, one pair for each smaller side of the leaf, the said pairs of pins in use being retractable for disengaging from a corresponding said lateral right-angled guide, the pins being provided with resilient means, is characterized in that the said pins are expandable telescopic pins whereby their resilient means ensure the expansion of the telescopic pins for their engagement in the said right-angled guides, the system furthermore comprising at least one relief in the form of a ramp, and whereby the said relief can be provided at the inner end of the travel path of a said right-angled guide occupying the bottom of said right-angled guide and extending until flush with the outside of the said right-angled guide.
  • the lateral right-angled guides are inserted into small channels formed in the corresponding walls of furniture so as to be flush with the said walls.
  • the telescopic pins consist of a first solid cylinder of smaller diameter inserted in a cylindrical cavity, having a substantially similar diameter, of a second cylinder of larger diameter, and a resilient means inserted between the first cylinder and the cylindrical cavity so as to allow expansion of the first solid cylinder with respect to the second cylinder of the larger diameter.
  • the resilient means consists of a helical spring inserted between a narrow relief on the internal end of the first solid cylinder and a similar relief projecting from the bottom of the cylindrical cavity of the second cylinder of larger diameter.
  • the second cylinder of larger diameter comprises, at the external end, an expanded collar having a diameter greater than that of the cylinder itself so as to allow improved seating and anchoring thereof.
  • the right-angled guides 10 and 10a are formed by a rectangular channel member 12 and 12a, which is open at the top, consisting of two arms 14, 14a and 16, 16a connected together by a connecting piece 18 and 18a, bent at 90°.
  • the arms 14 and 16, 14a and 16a comprise a rectangular recess 20, 20a defining the channel of each right-angled guide 10 and 10a.
  • a telescopic pin 30 according to the present invention is formed.
  • This pin consists of a first solid cylinder 32 and a second hollow cylinder 34 provided with a cylindrical cavity 36 designed to receive a resilient means, such as a spring 38, which remains secured between a narrow relief 40 present underneath the first solid cylinder 32 and a relief 42, also narrow, present on the bottom of the cylindrical cavity 36.
  • the second hollow cylinder 34 is provided with an expanded collar 44 in the form of a flat flange directed towards the first solid cylinder 32 so as to favour seating and fixing of the second cylinder 34 in a suitable cavity of a frame member 50 forming part of a pivotable leaf served by the present invention, as can be seen in Figures 8 and 9.
  • each of the telescopic pins 30 is inserted into suitable holes formed in the frame member 50 through a first profiled member 52 and a second profiled member 54 separated by a space 56 from the first profiled member 52, so as to define a substantially tubular frame member 50 for reasons of weight reduction (although it is not excluded that one could also use a frame which is solid or provided with different profiled members).
  • the profiled member 54 houses in one of its internal channels a pane 58 of a panel forming part of a pivotable leaf, whereby said pane 58 may consist of opaque or transparent material, such as simple or decorated glass.
  • Figure 10 which shows a leaf 62 in its position lowered so as to close an opening 64 of a piece of furniture
  • the leaf 62 formed by the frame 50 surrounding the glass pane 58, is provided with telescopic pins, the ends of the solid cylinders 32a-d of which can be seen projecting and engaging into the arms 16 and 16a of the right-angled guides.
  • the leaf 62 can be raised from the position shown in Figure 10 into that shown in Figure 11 where the pins 30, while remaining engaged with the ends of the solid cylinders inside the right-angled guides 10 and 10a, keep the leaf engaged in the guides so that said leaf is unable to come out of the opening 64 of the furniture housing it.
  • Figure 8 shows a cylinder 32 of the pin 30 engaged in the channel-shaped recess 20 of the arm 14 of the guide 10.
  • a substantially right-angled guide 110 of the type depicted in Figure 13 formed by a channel 112 consisting of two arms 114 and 116 connected by a connecting piece 118, bent at 90°, continuing with a front raised portion 117 joined by a curved piece 119 to the arm 114.
  • the remainder is similar to the right-angled guide 10 of Figure 1, and in fact the numbering of its parts is similar to that of the guide 10 with the addition of the number "1" in front.
  • disassembly insert 122 with its ramp 124 it is entirely similar to the insert 22 of Figures 1, 2 and 4, with the sole limitation that it is short enough not to interfere with the curved piece 119, but long enough to exceed the interaxial distances between the cylinders 32a and 32b or 32c and 32d (see Figure 10) in order to ensure reliable removal of the leaf 62 in the manner depicted in Figure 12.
