Abstract

A cabinet door collapses and slides into a concealed position inside a door compartment of a cabinet. The door has a first wing which is pivotally connected to a second wing and to a vertical door-supporting bar which travel insides the door compartment. The second wing is guided by carriages running in upper and lower continuous guideways that extend inside the door compartment. A device for moving the door-supporting bar includes a stationary toothed belt inside the door compartment, a toothed wheel and guide pulleys carried by the door-supporting bar. The toothed wheel is operatively connected to a torsion spring inside the door-supporting bar. A locking device locks the toothed wheel, when the door wings are in a coplanar closed position, and releases the toothed wheel, when they are in a parallel open position.

Abstract

A piece of furniture (1) comprises a main support structure (3) comprising a through opening (2) formed by said main support structure (3) and intended to be open and closed; a closure member (5) which is mobile between a closure position, wherein the' closure member (5) occludes said through opening (2), and an opening position, wherein the closure member (5) leaves said through opening (2) at least partially open; means (6) for the movement of the closure member (5) between said opening and closure positions, wherein said movement means (6) comprise elastic means (7) shaped so that, when the closure member (5) is in the opening position thereof, the elastic means (7) have a starting preload adapted to urge the closure member (5) towards the closure position thereof, and when the closure member (5) is in the closure position thereof, the elastic means (7) maintain a residual preload lower than the starting preload and adapted to statically maintain the closure member (5) in said closure position thereof.

Abstract

A piece of furniture (1) comprises a main support structure (2) comprising a closable passage opening (3) defined by one or more defining walls (4) of said main support structure (2), and a shutter (5) which is movable between a closed position, in which the shutter (5) occludes the passage opening (3), and an open position, in which the shutter (5) leaves said passage opening (3) at least partially open. The shutter comprises a plurality of meshes (6) arranged approximately parallel according to the width thereof, and having an outer height (h). The piece of furniture (1) further comprises drive means (8) of the shutter (5) comprising a drive roller (9) rotatable around a rotational axis (A) and adapted to drive said shutter (5) between the closed and open positions.

Abstract

A kitchen assembly (1) comprises a portal -shaped main structure (2) having a kitchen side (6) and a service side (7) opposite the kitchen side (6); a passage opening (8) formed by the main structure (2) to communicate kitchen side (6) and service side (7); a closing member (19) movable according to a sliding direction (S) between a lowered position, in which the closing member (19) essentially closes the passage opening (8) so as to divide the kitchen (6) and service (7) sides, and a raised position, in which the closing member (19) is at least partially received within a housing seat (20) of the main structure (2), and leaves at least partially opened the passage opening (8); one or more actuators (23) operatively connected to the closing member (19) in order to move it between the lowered and raised positions.

Abstract

The piece of furniture with doors has a device to concomitantly bring the doors from the closing position to the opening position, or vice versa. The device consists in a gear wheel or sector system which are mutually meshed so that the movement of one of the doors to a direction causes the simultaneous movement of the other one to a predetermined direction.
