Definitions
- the present invention refers to an improved rototranslation mechanism of a shutter of a containment element, such as for example a domestic space or otherwise.
- the rototranslation mechanism according to the invention can also be applied to closure shutters of non-domestic spaces.
- Such containment elements usually comprise one or more holes, below called “openings”, through which a user can access the inner volume of the element by means of the movement of a particular closure/opening element, called “shutter” below.
- Such shutters are thus movable and provided with a relative kinematic mechanism for connecting with the rest of the structure of the container element, so as to selectively assume a closed position in which the inner volume of the containment element is not accessible, and an open position in which it is possible to access the items contained in the container element itself.
- the shutters are fixed to the side of the container opening by means of the vertical hinges, around which the shutter rotates.
- rotatable shutters While quite widespread, have the drawback of subjecting the aforesaid hinges to a high level of torsional stress which can cause frequent breaks of the shutter itself.
- rotatable shutters disadvantageously require that a wide "manoeuvring" space is left free near the opening, so to allow the shutter to carry out its circular opening and closing trajectory without impediments.
- the opening of the related container is not totally accessible, since it could be hazardous and/or have obstacles for the users.
- the shutters are not found flush with the adjoining elements, such as the lateral walls or other shutters of the container, but are instead situated on offset planes.
- the complete accessibility to the inner volume of the container is jeopardised, along with the possibility of arranging further furniture parts, such as drawers and the like, in the portion of the container "hidden" by the shutter in open position.
- the general object of the present invention defined by claim 1 is that of resolving the drawbacks mentioned above of the prior art in an extremely simple, economical and particularly functional manner.
- Another object is that of making an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism which ensures an optimal exploitation of the space close to the container.
- Another object is that of making an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism which has a kinetic opening and closing mechanism that is continuous, stable and with little bulk.
- Another object is that of making an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism comprising a group for locking the shutter itself in the closed position.
- a domestic containment element 103 is shown, provided with an improved rototranslation mechanism of at least one shutter 102 according to the present invention.
- the abovementioned rototranslation mechanism of the shutter 102 of the domestic containment element 103 comprises at least three connected elements pivoted at their ends and arranged between the movable shutter 102 and other fixed portions of the containment element 103, such as the upper wall 104 or a side wall 101.
- the shutter 102 is movable in a rototranslating manner starting from a closed position, in which it is found flush with the lateral walls 101 of the containment element 103 and in which the rototranslation mechanism is entirely housed inside the containment element itself 103, up to an open position in which the shutter 102 is in a parallel and lateral position with respect to that assumed in closed position, such to completely free the opening of the container 103.
- the rototranslation mechanism comprises at least one shaped rod element 11 and at least a first and a second rectilinear rod element 33 and 34.
- Both the at least one shaped rod 11 and the first and the second rectilinear element 33, 34 are rotatably bound to one end to the shutter 102 and at the other end to other fixed portions of the containment element 103.
- the at least one rod element 11 is L-shaped and is bound on one side to a lateral wall 101 of the containment element 103 and on the other side to the shutter 102.
- the rototranslation mechanism according to the present invention comprises two rod elements 11 respectively placed in a raised and lowered position of the container 103.
- the aforesaid rod elements 11 each comprise a first and a second end in which the first ends are rotatably constrained to the aforesaid lateral wall 101 by means of a vertical ball pin, while the second ends are coaxially and rotatably mounted on a common vertical shaft 20, in turn connected to the shutter 102 by means of two vertical sleeves.
- the shaped rods 11 realize a rotation around the abovementioned vertical ball pins.
- such vertical ball pins each comprise a fixed constraint portion 15 from which, on the rear part, two pin elements 14, 14' are extended adapted to be coupled with related holes made on the lateral wall 101 of the containment element 103, and two vertical shafts 12, 12', partially inserted on opposite sides both in the first end of the rod element 11 and in the fixed portion 15.
- two balls 22, 23 are also provided for, arranged between the ends of the two vertical shafts 12, 12' and the fixed portion 15 inside the shaped rod 11. Between the two vertical shafts 12, 12' an elastic pin 21 is provided for which accomplishes the function of transmitting the load of the shaped rods 11 to the fixed portion 15 through the vertical shaft 12, 12' and the balls 22, 23.
- the second ends of the shaped rod elements 11 are mounted on a common shaft 20 which is in turn fixed to the shutter 102 by means of two vertical sleeves.
- such vertical sleeves comprise a first constraining portion 17 fixable to the inner wall of the shutter 102 and a second portion 16 that can be coupled to the aforesaid first portion 17 and provided with a housing, in which the shaft 20 is rotatably mounted.
- Each of these vertical sleeves also preferably comprises a tightening ring 18 and an abutment bushing 19 which is interposed between the second end of the rod 11 and the tightening ring 18.
- a friction dowel of the shutter rotation acts on said bushing 19, such dowel screwed, as schematised by the arrow F, within a threaded seat S made in the aforesaid portion 16.
- the rototranslation mechanism comprises a first and second rectilinear rod element 33, 34 which are extended parallel to each other from a substantially central portion of the upper wall 104 of the containment element 103, near the shutter 102, up to a substantially lateral peripheral portion of the shutter 102.
- first and the second rectilinear rod element 33, 34 are connected in a rotatable manner to the upper wall 104 and to the shutter 102 of the containment element 103 around the different vertical rotation axes.
- the first ends of the aforesaid first and second rectilinear rod elements 33, 34 are rotatably constrained to the upper wall 104 at different points and at different heights with respect to the upper wall 104 itself.
- the second ends of the aforesaid first and second rectilinear rod element 33, 34 are constrained to the shutter 102 at different points and at different heights.
- Such kinematic mechanism is schematised in figures 3-5 , by means of the articulated quadrilateral 30, which is defined by a first side 31, constrained in a substantially central portion of an upper wall 104 of the containment element 103 near the shutter 102, a second side 32, bound to the shutter 102 in a substantially lateral peripheral portion of the same 102, a third 33 and a fourth 34 side rotatably constrained at a first end to the first side 31 and at a second end to the second side 32.
- the third 33 and fourth 34 sides coincide with the mentioned first and the second rectilinear rod element 33, 34. According to that described above, therefore, and as shown in figures 3-5 by the trajectories 43 and 44, during the opening of the shutter 102 the first and the second rectilinear rod element 33, 34 are superimposed at a point, mutually exchanging their position.
- Such kinematic mechanism is allowed, as seen in the enlarged detail of figure 10 , due to the fact that, as stated above, the first and the second rectilinear rod elements 33, 34 are constrained at different heights with respect to the wall 104 and to the shutter 102.
- the rototranslation mechanism advantageously comprises a group for locking the shutter 102 in the previously described closed position.
- Such locking group comprises a tooth element 50, associated with the at least one shaped rod element 11 near its end bound to the lateral wall 101 on the side facing the side wall 101 itself, and a hook 51, sprung, it too constrained to the lateral wall 101 in a position such to collaborate, in closed shutter 102 position, with the aforesaid tooth element 50, in order to retain the shaped rod 11.
- the sprung hook 51 projects towards the shaped rod 11 from a case 54 fixed to the lateral wall 101 and is moreover rotatably connected to the lateral wall 101 itself by means of a vertical pin 52.
- the presence is also provided of two preloaded springs 53 acting from the lateral surface 101 on the hook 51.
- both the vertical pin 52 and the preloaded springs 53 are contained inside the case 54.
- the sprung hook 51 is movable between a first rest position, figure 13a , in which the at least one shutter 102 is open and the hook 51 is thrust in abutment against a portion of the case 54 by the preloaded springs 53, and a second work position, figure 13c , in which the at least one shutter 102 is closed and the hook 51 is in a rotated position, with respect to the rest position, and in engagement with the tooth element 50 due to preloaded springs 53 so as to retain the shaped rod 11.
- figure 13c In order to go from the first rest position, figure 13a , to the aforesaid second work position, figure 13c , due to the shape of the tooth 50 and the hook 51, the hook 51 itself undergoes a maximum excursion during an intermediate step, shown in figure 13b , in which the related vertices of the tooth 50 and the hook 51 come into contact.
- hook 51 By manually pushing the shutter 102 beyond such condition, still due to the shape of the tooth 50 and the hook 51, hook 51 retains the shaped rod 11, preventing its free return to the position of figure 13b , beyond which there is no closing force acting on the opening shutter 102.
- the rototranslation mechanism can also comprise adjustment precision means of the depth of the shutter 102 in closed position with respect to the rest of the containment element 103.
- the shutter 102 can either result slightly open, i.e. outwardly tilted, or slightly closed, i.e. inwardly tilted, even if with unloaded furniture the same shutter 102 had assumed an optimal configuration, aligned with the rest of the containment element 103.
- the aforesaid adjustment means are provided for in the present invention for adjusting the depth of the shutter 102. These are known as precision means since they allow an adjustment of several degrees of the shutter 102 position for the above-described problems.
- these adjustment means of the shutter 102 depth comprise a first support element 61, fixable to the vertical shaft 20, and a second grip element 60 fixable to the shaped rod 11.
- first and the second elements 60, 61 can be coupled together in a movable manner, so to impart, by means of a manual rotation of the second grip element 60, a rotation of the vertical shaft 20 with respect to the shaped rod element 11 and then, consequently, a rotation to the shutter 102 in closed position with respect to the rest of the containment element 103.
- the first support element 61 comprises a rear horizontal pin portion 62, associable with a hole 66 of the vertical shaft 20 in a position close to the shaped rod 11, and a front portion provided with a through slot 63.
- the second grip element 60 comprises an upper vertical pin shaped portion 65, associable in a hole 66' of the shaped rod element 11, and a lower grip portion 64, possibly grooved in order to facilitate the manual rotation and movement of the second element 60 itself.
- the circular base 67 shaped for being associated with the through slot 63 of the first support element 61 is shaped in an eccentric position with respect to the pin-shaped upper portion 65.
- retaining means 70, 71 are provided for, such as a hook element 70 projecting from the first support element 61 capable of being engaged in a crescent-shaped hole 71 of the second grip element 60.
- the section of figure 16 shows the coupling of the first and second element 60, 61 in the position of figure 17b , in which the centre of the circular base 65 is aligned with the horizontal axis 80 of the second element 61 and the hook 70 is in middle position of the aforesaid crescent 71.
- the eccentric circular base 67 is displaced from the horizontal axis 80 identified in the rest position fig. 17b, figures 17 and 17c in which the hook 70 is in a peripheral position of the crescent 71, and since the pin 65 itself is necessarily inserted in the shaped rod 11 during the aforesaid movements, a rotation is imparted to the tube 20 on its axis and consequently also a small rotation is also imparted to the shutter 102 with respect to the other elements of the container element 103.
- the rotation sense uniquely derives from the rotation sense of the grip 64.
- locking means 73, 72 are provided for of the shaft 20 with respect to the shaped rod element 11, such as threaded elements 73, movable by means of suitable tools 72 such as an Allen screw, operating on a slot 82 connected with the housing hole of the shaft 20.
- the shaped arm 11 in made integral with the shaft 20 and then the adjustment is fixed in the desired position by constraining the shutter 102 in the achieved closure configuration.
- the improved rototranslation mechanism of the shutter 102 of the domestic containment element 103 can be different from that shown as a non-limiting example in the drawings, as the materials can also be different.

Description
- The present invention refers to an improved rototranslation mechanism of a shutter of a containment element, such as for example a domestic space or otherwise.
- With the terms "domestic containment element" it is intended cupboards, wardrobes, divider wall systems etc. inside of which clothing such as jackets, coats, etc. is generally put back.
- Nevertheless, the rototranslation mechanism according to the invention can also be applied to closure shutters of non-domestic spaces.
- Such containment elements usually comprise one or more holes, below called "openings", through which a user can access the inner volume of the element by means of the movement of a particular closure/opening element, called "shutter" below.
- As said, such shutters are thus movable and provided with a relative kinematic mechanism for connecting with the rest of the structure of the container element, so as to selectively assume a closed position in which the inner volume of the containment element is not accessible, and an open position in which it is possible to access the items contained in the container element itself.
- One particular shutter type that is quite widespread today is that provided with a "rotational" kinematic opening mechanism corresponding with that normally used for the doors.
- According to such embodiment, the shutters are fixed to the side of the container opening by means of the vertical hinges, around which the shutter rotates. However, such rotatable shutters, while quite widespread, have the drawback of subjecting the aforesaid hinges to a high level of torsional stress which can cause frequent breaks of the shutter itself. In addition, such rotatable shutters disadvantageously require that a wide "manoeuvring" space is left free near the opening, so to allow the shutter to carry out its circular opening and closing trajectory without impediments.
- In order to overcome such wide "manoeuvring" space problem, other shutter types are widespread today, called "sliding" shutters, in which the kinematic opening and closing mechanism is described with a rectilinear trajectory, parallel to the container. However, even this embodiment has several drawbacks, including that of requiring, on the ground or in raised position, the presence of guides for the movement of the shutters.
- In such case, the opening of the related container is not totally accessible, since it could be hazardous and/or have obstacles for the users.
- In addition, disadvantageously, generally in closed position the shutters are not found flush with the adjoining elements, such as the lateral walls or other shutters of the container, but are instead situated on offset planes.
- Up to now, other shutter types are also used, called "brook" shutters. Disadvantageously, in open position, due to their folding conformation, they partially occupy the opening of the container, creating an obstacle for the user.
- In such embodiment, therefore, the complete accessibility to the inner volume of the container is jeopardised, along with the possibility of arranging further furniture parts, such as drawers and the like, in the portion of the container "hidden" by the shutter in open position.
-
- The general object of the present invention defined by
claim 1 is that of resolving the drawbacks mentioned above of the prior art in an extremely simple, economical and particularly functional manner. - Another object is that of making an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism which ensures an optimal exploitation of the space close to the container.
- Another object is that of making an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism which has a kinetic opening and closing mechanism that is continuous, stable and with little bulk.
- Another object is that of making an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism comprising a group for locking the shutter itself in the closed position.
- In view of the aforesaid objects, according to the present invention, it was thought to achieve an improved containment element comprising a shutter and a rototranslating mechanism, preferably but not necessarily domestic, having the characteristics set forth in the attached claims.

domestic containment element 103 is shown, provided with an improved rototranslation mechanism of at least oneshutter 102 according to the present invention. - With the terms "domestic containment element", it is intended cupboards, wardrobes, dividing wall systems, divider element systems etc., in which generally clothes such as jackets, coats, etc. are put away.
- In the following description, reference will be made to a
shutter 102 and to the related rototranslation mechanism, but, according to the present invention, containment elements can also be provided for comprising more than asingle shutter 102 and, consequently, more than one rototranslation mechanism. In particular, according to the present invention, the abovementioned rototranslation mechanism of theshutter 102 of thedomestic containment element 103 comprises at least three connected elements pivoted at their ends and arranged between themovable shutter 102 and other fixed portions of thecontainment element 103, such as theupper wall 104 or aside wall 101. - According to the invention, the
shutter 102 is movable in a rototranslating manner starting from a closed position, in which it is found flush with thelateral walls 101 of thecontainment element 103 and in which the rototranslation mechanism is entirely housed inside the containment element itself 103, up to an open position in which theshutter 102 is in a parallel and lateral position with respect to that assumed in closed position, such to completely free the opening of thecontainer 103. - In such final position, therefore, the opening occupied by the
shutter 102 in closed position is totally freed, and the user is thus allowed to access the entire inner volume of thecontainment element 103 without any encumbrance or impediment, with complete security and ease. - The aforesaid open and closed configurations of the
containment element 103 are respectively shown in thefigures 2 and1 , in which the walls of thecontainment element 103 and theshutter 102 are shown transparent for reasons of clarity. - As can be easily noted in
figure 1 , in the closed configuration the rototranslation mechanism is advantageously fully housed inside thecontainment element 103. - In particular, the rototranslation mechanism according to the present invention comprises at least one
shaped rod element 11 and at least a first and a secondrectilinear rod element - Both the at least one shaped
rod 11 and the first and the secondrectilinear element shutter 102 and at the other end to other fixed portions of thecontainment element 103. - As is visible in
figure 6 , the at least onerod element 11 is L-shaped and is bound on one side to alateral wall 101 of thecontainment element 103 and on the other side to theshutter 102. - Preferably, as is visible in
figures 1 and2 , the rototranslation mechanism according to the present invention comprises tworod elements 11 respectively placed in a raised and lowered position of thecontainer 103. - The
aforesaid rod elements 11 each comprise a first and a second end in which the first ends are rotatably constrained to the aforesaidlateral wall 101 by means of a vertical ball pin, while the second ends are coaxially and rotatably mounted on a commonvertical shaft 20, in turn connected to theshutter 102 by means of two vertical sleeves. - During the opening and closing of the
shutter 102, theshaped rods 11 realize a rotation around the abovementioned vertical ball pins. - According to a preferred embodiment, such vertical ball pins each comprise a fixed
constraint portion 15 from which, on the rear part, twopin elements 14, 14' are extended adapted to be coupled with related holes made on thelateral wall 101 of thecontainment element 103, and twovertical shafts 12, 12', partially inserted on opposite sides both in the first end of therod element 11 and in thefixed portion 15. - As is visible in
figure 7 , therefore, theshaped rods 11 are free to rotate around the aforesaid twovertical shafts 12, 12'. - In order to ensure such rotations without great forces being required, two
balls vertical shafts 12, 12' and the fixedportion 15 inside theshaped rod 11. Between the twovertical shafts 12, 12' anelastic pin 21 is provided for which accomplishes the function of transmitting the load of theshaped rods 11 to thefixed portion 15 through thevertical shaft 12, 12' and theballs - As said above, the second ends of the
shaped rod elements 11 are mounted on acommon shaft 20 which is in turn fixed to theshutter 102 by means of two vertical sleeves. - As is visible in
figure 8 , such vertical sleeves comprise a first constrainingportion 17 fixable to the inner wall of theshutter 102 and asecond portion 16 that can be coupled to the aforesaidfirst portion 17 and provided with a housing, in which theshaft 20 is rotatably mounted. - Each of these vertical sleeves also preferably comprises a tightening
ring 18 and anabutment bushing 19 which is interposed between the second end of therod 11 and thetightening ring 18. - A friction dowel of the shutter rotation acts on said bushing 19, such dowel screwed, as schematised by the arrow F, within a threaded seat S made in the
aforesaid portion 16. - According to the invention, the rototranslation mechanism comprises a first and second
rectilinear rod element upper wall 104 of thecontainment element 103, near theshutter 102, up to a substantially lateral peripheral portion of theshutter 102. - In particular, the first and the second
rectilinear rod element upper wall 104 and to theshutter 102 of thecontainment element 103 around the different vertical rotation axes. - As is visible in
figure 10 , according to the invention, the first ends of the aforesaid first and secondrectilinear rod elements upper wall 104 at different points and at different heights with respect to theupper wall 104 itself. - Analogously, the second ends of the aforesaid first and second
rectilinear rod element shutter 102 at different points and at different heights. - By virtue of such different connection points placed at different heights, it is achieved that during the rototranslational opening and closing movement of the
shutter 102, the first and the secondrectilinear rod element - Such kinematic mechanism is schematised in
figures 3-5 , by means of the articulatedquadrilateral 30, which is defined by afirst side 31, constrained in a substantially central portion of anupper wall 104 of thecontainment element 103 near theshutter 102, asecond side 32, bound to theshutter 102 in a substantially lateral peripheral portion of the same 102, a third 33 and a fourth 34 side rotatably constrained at a first end to thefirst side 31 and at a second end to thesecond side 32. - According to that described above, therefore, the third 33 and fourth 34 sides coincide with the mentioned first and the second
rectilinear rod element figures 3-5 by thetrajectories shutter 102 the first and the secondrectilinear rod element - In fact, as is seen in
figure 3 , with theshutter 102 closed, the secondrectilinear rod element 34 is found to the right of the firstrectilinear rod element 33, while with theshutter 102 open,figure 5 , the secondrectilinear rod element 34 is found to the left of the firstrectilinear rod element 33. - Such kinematic mechanism is allowed, as seen in the enlarged detail of
figure 10 , due to the fact that, as stated above, the first and the secondrectilinear rod elements wall 104 and to theshutter 102. Advantageously, in such a manner one confers considerably stability to the kinematic opening and closing mechanism of theshutter 102, even near positions of maximum opening and closing, where from time to time either the first or the secondrectilinear rod element shutter 102. - Finally, the rototranslation mechanism, subject of the present invention, advantageously comprises a group for locking the
shutter 102 in the previously described closed position. - Such locking group, visible according to a preferred embodiment in the perspective
figure 11 and in thefront view 12, comprises atooth element 50, associated with the at least one shapedrod element 11 near its end bound to thelateral wall 101 on the side facing theside wall 101 itself, and ahook 51, sprung, it too constrained to thelateral wall 101 in a position such to collaborate, inclosed shutter 102 position, with theaforesaid tooth element 50, in order to retain the shapedrod 11. - As is visible in
figures 11-13c , the sprunghook 51 projects towards the shapedrod 11 from acase 54 fixed to thelateral wall 101 and is moreover rotatably connected to thelateral wall 101 itself by means of avertical pin 52. - According to the invention, the presence is also provided of two
preloaded springs 53 acting from thelateral surface 101 on thehook 51. - As shown in
figures 13a-13c , both thevertical pin 52 and the preloaded springs 53 are contained inside thecase 54. - The functioning of such locking group of the
shutter 102 rototranslation is schematically shown in the sequence offigures 13a-13c . - According to the invention, the sprung
hook 51 is movable between a first rest position,figure 13a , in which the at least oneshutter 102 is open and thehook 51 is thrust in abutment against a portion of thecase 54 by the preloaded springs 53, and a second work position,figure 13c , in which the at least oneshutter 102 is closed and thehook 51 is in a rotated position, with respect to the rest position, and in engagement with thetooth element 50 due to preloadedsprings 53 so as to retain the shapedrod 11. - In order to go from the first rest position,
figure 13a , to the aforesaid second work position,figure 13c , due to the shape of thetooth 50 and thehook 51, thehook 51 itself undergoes a maximum excursion during an intermediate step, shown infigure 13b , in which the related vertices of thetooth 50 and thehook 51 come into contact. - By manually pushing the
shutter 102 beyond such condition, still due to the shape of thetooth 50 and thehook 51,hook 51 retains the shapedrod 11, preventing its free return to the position offigure 13b , beyond which there is no closing force acting on theopening shutter 102. - Advantageously, such passage point, shown in
figure 13b and as described above beyond which theshutter 102 is stably maintained closed, can be easily surpassed by manually operating on theshutter 102 itself. - It is clear, therefore, that such locking group of the
shutter 102 in closed position does not require any additional force of the user during the movement of theshutter 102 itself and moreover maintains thedomestic containment element 103 on which it is installed firmly closed. - The rototranslation mechanism, subject of the present invention, can also comprise adjustment precision means of the depth of the
shutter 102 in closed position with respect to the rest of thecontainment element 103. - In fact, it can happen that, with a containment element mounted and loaded, the
shutter 102 can either result slightly open, i.e. outwardly tilted, or slightly closed, i.e. inwardly tilted, even if with unloaded furniture thesame shutter 102 had assumed an optimal configuration, aligned with the rest of thecontainment element 103. - In order to overcome such drawback, the aforesaid adjustment means are provided for in the present invention for adjusting the depth of the
shutter 102. These are known as precision means since they allow an adjustment of several degrees of theshutter 102 position for the above-described problems. - According to a preferred embodiment, these adjustment means of the
shutter 102 depth comprise afirst support element 61, fixable to thevertical shaft 20, and asecond grip element 60 fixable to the shapedrod 11. - In particular, the first and the
second elements second grip element 60, a rotation of thevertical shaft 20 with respect to the shapedrod element 11 and then, consequently, a rotation to theshutter 102 in closed position with respect to the rest of thecontainment element 103. - As seen in
figures 14 and 15-15b , thefirst support element 61 comprises a rearhorizontal pin portion 62, associable with ahole 66 of thevertical shaft 20 in a position close to the shapedrod 11, and a front portion provided with a throughslot 63. - The
second grip element 60, on the other hand, comprises an upper vertical pin shapedportion 65, associable in a hole 66' of the shapedrod element 11, and alower grip portion 64, possibly grooved in order to facilitate the manual rotation and movement of thesecond element 60 itself. - As is visible in
figure 14 , thecircular base 67 shaped for being associated with the throughslot 63 of thefirst support element 61 is shaped in an eccentric position with respect to the pin-shapedupper portion 65. In order to ensure the coupling of thefirst support element 61 to thesecond grip element 60, retaining means 70, 71 are provided for, such as ahook element 70 projecting from thefirst support element 61 capable of being engaged in a crescent-shapedhole 71 of thesecond grip element 60. - In such a manner, during the rotation of the
second grip element 60 with respect to thefirst support element 61, also thecrescent 71 will be able to rotate on thehook 70, constantly retaining thesecond grip element 60 constrained. - The mounting and functioning steps of such adjustment means of the
shutter 102 depth can be clearly inferred from thefigures 18-18d and17-17c , in which such means during mounting and the various positions that the same can assume once mounted for adjusting the depth of theshutter 102 are respectively shown. - The section of
figure 16 shows the coupling of the first andsecond element figure 17b , in which the centre of thecircular base 65 is aligned with thehorizontal axis 80 of thesecond element 61 and thehook 70 is in middle position of theaforesaid crescent 71. - From such configuration, by rotating the
grip 64, the eccentriccircular base 67 of thepin 65 is rotated in theslot 63, hence thecomponent 61 realizes the lateral movements. - In other words, during the possible rotations of the
grip 64, the eccentriccircular base 67 is displaced from thehorizontal axis 80 identified in the rest positionfig. 17b, figures 17 and 17c in which thehook 70 is in a peripheral position of thecrescent 71, and since thepin 65 itself is necessarily inserted in the shapedrod 11 during the aforesaid movements, a rotation is imparted to thetube 20 on its axis and consequently also a small rotation is also imparted to theshutter 102 with respect to the other elements of thecontainer element 103. - The rotation sense uniquely derives from the rotation sense of the
grip 64. - Consequently, by operating on the
grip 64, it is possible to achieve precision adjustment of the depth of theshutter 102 in closed position with respect to the rest of thecontainment element 103. - Once the desired position is identified, locking means 73, 72 are provided for of the
shaft 20 with respect to the shapedrod element 11, such as threadedelements 73, movable by means ofsuitable tools 72 such as an Allen screw, operating on aslot 82 connected with the housing hole of theshaft 20. - Proceeding with the screwing of the threaded
elements 73, the shapedarm 11 in made integral with theshaft 20 and then the adjustment is fixed in the desired position by constraining theshutter 102 in the achieved closure configuration. - From that described above and with reference to the figures, it is evident how the rototranslation mechanism of the
shutter 102 of thedomestic containment element 103 according to the invention is useful and advantageous. - The object mentioned in the description preamble is thus achieved.
- Of course, the improved rototranslation mechanism of the
shutter 102 of thedomestic containment element 103 according to the invention can be different from that shown as a non-limiting example in the drawings, as the materials can also be different. - The protective scope of the invention is therefore delimited by the attached claims.
