Abstract
A damping or return device for sliding door leaves, particularly for furniture, or for drawers, which is constituted by a pin the shank of which is constituted by a diametrically differently-polarized magnet that slideably and axially interacts with a steel plate or a complementarily-shaped collar, which is made of steel and polygonal.
Claims20
A damping or return device for sliding door leaves or for drawers, comprising:
- a pin having a shank constituted by a diametrically differently-polarized magnet that comprises mutually coupled first and second portions having opposing polarities;
- at least one of a steel plate or a complementarily-shaped steel collar polygonal in cross-section, wherein the pin slideably and axially interacts with the steel plate or collar;
- and
- an elastically compressible element arranged to damp movement of the pin as the pin moves in contrast with the elastically compressible element.

A damping device for sliding door leaves or for drawers, comprising:
- a pin with an elongated shank, wherein the shank is formed of first and second magnet portions coupled diametrically opposite each other and having opposing polarities;
- a steel collar having an opening for slideably receiving the elongated shank;
- and
- an elastically compressible element arranged to damp movement of the pin as the pin is slideably received in the opening on the steel collar.

A damping device for furniture comprising:
- a pin with an elongated shank configured to be coupled to a first lateral surface of the furniture, wherein the shank is formed of first and second magnet portions coupled diametrically opposite each other and having opposing polarities;
- a steel collar configured to be coupled to a second lateral surface of the furniture that slides parallel to the first lateral surface between an open position and a closed position, the collar having an opening for slideably receiving the elongated shank when the first and second lateral surfaces move from the open position to the closed position;
- and
- an elastically compressible element arranged to damp movement of the pin, wherein the elastically compressible element compresses as the pin is slideably received in the opening of the elongated shank.
