Abstract

A movement device for the sliding movement of furniture and wardrobe doors having inner and outer doors which slide along parallel tracks/guides. The movement device includes inner and outer pairs of carriages each having a roller. The carriages are fixed to the inner front of each door. A plate directly attaches each inner carriage to the inner door. A frame with an inverted “U” cross-section attaches each outer carriage to the outer door. Air pistons are fixed proximate the ends of the guides, along which the rollers of the carriages slide for the cushioned stop at the end stroke of moving the carriages when opening and closing the doors. The mounting device includes a support member housing a second piston which is surmounted by an elastic clamp. The clamp selectively interfaces with an aligned wedge extending from a carriage from the other door to prevent abutment between door handles.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A movement device for sliding movement of at least two doors of a wardrobe or furniture piece of which a first door of the at least two doors is slidably movable along a first guide which is affixed to the wardrobe or furniture piece, the first door being slidably movable along the first guide by a first pair of carriages each of which having one or more first wheels or rollers, the first pair of carriages being fixed to an inner front or near an upper edge of the first door in a spaced-apart arrangement and movably interface with the first guide by the one or more first wheels or rollers;

and a second door of the at least two doors being slidably movable along a second guide which is affixed parallel to the first guide, the first and second guides being fixed near a front edge of an upper base of said wardrobe or furniture piece, the second door being slidably movable along the second guide by a second pair of carriages each of which having one or more second wheels or rollers, the second pair of carriages being fixed to an inner front or near an upper edge of the second door in a spaced-apart arrangement and movably interface with the second guide by the one or more second wheels or rollers, the movement device comprising:
a shaped body attached to at least one first carriage of the first pair of carriages;
each shaped body including a wedge-shaped appendage extending rightwards or leftwards from the at least one first carriage;
and
a support member respectively attached to at least one second carriage of the second pair of carriages and configured to house a piston, each support member further including a pincer or elastic clamp which is positioned at a height above the piston, the pincer or elastic clamp arranged to selectively interface with the wedge-shaped appendage of the shaped body.
