Abstract
A device for moving folding door leaves that open completely and are adapted for wardrobes or pieces of furniture in general include a single door leaf or one pair of door leaves hinged to each other, configured to be rotated from a completely closed configuration to a completely open configuration. The door leaves include a guiding device, the action of which is damped during the opening and closing movement by magnetic devices and damping systems that counteract their attraction force.
Claims8
A device configured to move a hinged door leaf and open the hinged door leaf completely, the hinged door leaf opening comprising a first door leaf (A) hinged to a fixed structure and adapted to rotate from a first configuration, in which a compartment defined inside a wardrobe is closed to a second configuration, in which the wardrobe is open, the device comprising:
- a first rod (D1) hinged between an external side of a top (C) of the wardrobe and an upper edge of said first door leaf (A), in such a way that the first rod rotates on a plane which is parallel to the top (C), the first rod comprising at least a first half rod and a second half rod (D11, D12) that are engaged to each other and slide longitudinally one on top of the other so as to increase/decrease a distance between a first hinge point on the top of the wardrobe and a second hinge point on the door leaf (A),
- wherein said second half rod (D12) is equipped with shock absorbing devices or braking and damping devices (P1) operated through magnetic attraction and integral with the second half rod (D12), the shock absorbing devices or braking and damping devices counteracting an opening movement and braking a closing movement of the first door leaf (A),
- wherein said shock absorbing devices or braking and damping devices (P1) are configured as magnetized pins and said first half rod includes magnetized hollow cylinders, and wherein a sliding of the second half rod on top of the first half rod causes said pins to be received in said hollow cylinders and to have the magnetic attraction therewith.
