## Abstract

Self-closure device for sliding mobile parts, comprising an integrator element with three active areas—one front area that forms the first area or activator latch area, which swings, a second area or flexion area, which, given the elasticity of the material, enables the activator latch to swing and a third area or guide area, which guides the translation of the device and links it to the energy accumulator and the dampener.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Self-closure device for sliding mobile parts, comprising an energy accumulator device, which, using a guided distancing piece as an intermediary, is charged with the opening movement of a piece of furniture, this self-closure device also having a first area or activator latch area that interacts with the drive element, an activator latch which locks the energy accumulator device in open position and a dampener, by means of which a counter force is generated, absorbing the energy from the energy accumulator device before the closed position is reached, when the activator latch is uncoupled from its locked position, is an integrator element with three active areas—one front area that forms the first area or activator latch area, which swings, a second area or flexion area, which enables the activator latch to swing as a result of the elasticity of the material from which it is made and a third area or guide area, which guides the translation of the device and links it to the energy accumulator and the dampener.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Self-closure device for sliding mobile parts, according to claim 1, wherein the first area or activator latch area has at least one rotating pin linked to the guide channel and at least one locking pin linked to the locking channel of the support.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

Self-closure device for sliding mobile parts, according to claim 2, wherein the support has guide tabs, guide channels and locking channels in both the front part and rear part of the same.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

Self-closure device for sliding mobile parts, according to claim 1, wherein the drive element is usually located in the sliding mobile part and the self-closure device in the non-mobile part of the piece of furniture, this position being clearly interchangeable should a specific application so require.
