Abstract:
A Piece of furniture with a frame on which one or more doors are guided such that through sliding they can uncover the port of the relative compartment. A cable is drawn between two fixed points placed one at the top and one at the bottom in respect of the compartment, and there are at least two constraints, integral with the door while the cable is integral with the frame or vice versa, which are arranged so as to engage the cable on two opposite sides thereof so that from the mutual interaction between the cable and the constraints a vincular reaction arises that balances the momentum generated by the weight of the door. The door can easily be displaced over another door.

Abstract:
To simplify its production, a method is shown for hinging the ends of a gas spring to an anchoring element (30, 60) that is fixable to a compartment (12) to be closed and/or to a movable closing element (14) for the compartment. In the method one of the end or the anchoring element is equipped with a first retaining portion (66, 68, 36, 38) in the shape of a clamp or fork which defines a seat (V), and the other is equipped with a second portion (26) shaped substantially complementarily to the seat, the shape of the seat being such that, once the second portion is inserted in the seat, they become inseparable by interposition of parts but relatively movable about an axis (X).
Abstract:
Opening mechanism (11a, 11b) for each of a plurality of doors (12) of a furniture unit (10) arranged alongside each other in the closed position and provided with travel means (32a, 32b), comprising a frame (40a, 40b) extractable from the furniture unit with a horizontal movement so as to displace one door with respect to an adjacent door, a horizontal support element (20a, 20b), joined to the frame, for the travel means. The mechanism is characterized in that the door comprises a first auxiliary guide (22a, 22b) which is parallel to the support guide and offset depth-wise with respect to the latter by an amount equivalent to the horizontal movement of the frame, so that extraction of the door (12A) results in alignment of the auxiliary guide with the guide joined to the frame of the adjacent door (12C), producing from the two guides thus aligned a section (22a, 22b) along which the travel means are able to travel, causing the extracted door (12A) to be arranged over the adjacent door (12C).
