Abstract

A device for hooking and adjusting accessories along support profiles, in particular but not exclusively for apparatuses intended for the movement of cabinet panels or doors comprising at least one sliding profile with a longitudinally extended slot delimited by opposite lips, one or more movement elements or carriages connecting said panels or doors with the profile and one or more stops or shock absorbers or the like with support base to slow down and stop the excursion of the same panels or doors at or near the respective end-strokes. The device comprises a lower half-part and an upper half-part intended to be connected both to each other in an articulated manner and to the profile. The base of the lower half-part defines a plate with a width less than both the width of the slot and with respect to the positioning seat accessed from said slot and in which the same base is positioned. From the central area of the base of the lower half-part an integral appendage extends vertically, at the top of which a transverse hole is formed which accommodates a plug to connect said appendage to the upper half-part consisting of a manoeuvring lever, in turn provided with a hole for the same plug.

Claims (5)

1 . A device for hooking and adjusting accessories along support profiles, suitable for apparatuses that move cabinet panels or doors along at least one sliding profile; said sliding profile is provided with a longitudinally extended slot delimited by opposite lips, one or more movement elements or carriages connecting said panels or doors with the profile, and one or more stops or shock absorbers with support base to slow down and stop the excursion of the same panels or doors at or near the respective end-strokes along the profile, wherein said device comprises a lower half-part and an upper half-part intended to be connected both to each other in an articulated manner and to the sliding profile along the slot, wherein a rectangular base of the lower half-part defines a plate having an upper surface with a surface finish and a width less than both the width of the slot and the width of a positioning seat accessed from said slot and in which the same base is positioned, and in a central area of the rectangular base of the lower half-part an integral appendage extends vertically therefrom, at the top of said appendage a transverse hole is formed which accommodates a plug to connect said appendage to the upper half-part consisting of a manoeuvring lever, and said upper half-part is provided with a hole for the same plug.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lips delimiting the slot of the profile are provided, on a lower face facing the positioning seat for positioning the base, with protrusions in the form of cantilevered grooves-oriented angularly with respect to the surface finish of the same base arranged in said positioning seat.

3 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the upper surface of the base of the lower half-part is provided with a surface finish of a knurling type, and said surface finish is lowered with respect to the rest of the upper surface by an amount substantially equal to the thickness of the lips.

4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the support base of the stop or shock absorber comprises at opposite ends a through opening from which the appendage of the lower half-part protrudes to be connected with said upper half-part through said plug, the base of the lower half-part being housed in the positioning seat of the profile.

5 . The device according to claim 4 , wherein the base of the lower half-part defines a substantially rectangular plate with two opposite bevelled vertices, and each of the bevelled vertices is provided with said surface finish of a knurling type.
