Abstract
A furniture item (MC) is described comprising a body defining a compartment (20) with a front opening, a leaf (32) which is slidable and oscillating to close the front opening, and an L-shaped guide (50) comprising two linear segments (52, 54) connected together. The leaf can be moved by a command member (60) translatable parallelly to—and along—said outer side.
Claims20
Item of furniture comprising:
- a body defining a compartment with a front opening,
- a first and second leaf which are slidable and oscillating to close the front opening,
- an L-shaped guide comprising two linear segments connected together, wherein
- a first segment is parallel to an edge of the opening, and
- a second segment is orthogonal to the first segment and arranged at an outer side of said body along the depth of the compartment;
- a command member translatable parallelly to—and along—said outer side;
- wherein
- the second leaf is connected in oscillating manner to the first leaf;
- a side of the second leaf is hinged to the command member about a first vertical axis,
- a side of the first leaf, which side is closest to the second leaf, is slidably coupled to the guide;
- said side of the second leaf being connected in swinging manner to the command member so that an alternate linear motion of the latter moves the leaves into a first position wherein they close the opening or into a second position wherein the leaves clear the opening and are placed side by side with said outer side.

- a command member translatable parallelly to—and along—said outer side;
- wherein a lateral edge of the leaf is coupled slidably with the guide, and
- the opposite lateral edge of the leaf is connected in swinging manner to the command member so that an alternate linear motion of the latter moves the leaf into a first position wherein it closes the opening or into a second position wherein the leaf clears the opening and is placed side by side with said outer side,
- a return element or means for exerting a force on the translatable command member to move it to a rest position.
