Definitions

• the subject of the invention is furniture cabinet for flat object, especially displaying screen of big surface.
• cover shifting mechanism which for this purpose uses the drive of an elevating device built in the container which lifts an object into the top position of exposition.
• the cover fastened by hinges along the back edge is moved by means of a cam unit driven by the object's handle during its vertical movement.
• the cam unit includes a cam fixed to the handle which is arcwise straightened towards the front wall at its upper end area, and vertical at the rest part. Second arms of the cover's hinges are fixed to the vertical guides with vertically down shifting possibility. Horizontal position of the hinges rotation axis is situated in parallel shifted surface, behind the back wall of the container.
• PL P-379 754 there is known covers shifting mechanism of the furniture container, in which there is built in elevating device for an object raising upward into the top position of exposition, especially flat, big surface TV or computer screen.
• the mechanism is used for shifting the upper cover, situated above elevated object and the frontal cover which also determines a part of the front wall of the container.
• the mechanism includes simultaneous, bidirectional system of shifting the upper cover and the frontal cover, caused by movement of the retractable unit of the elevating device.
• the upper cover shifting system includes a cam fixed to the retractable unit of the elevating device which lifts the upper cover.
• the frontal cover shifting system includes a flexible coupler in shape of a string, which transfers the drive from the upper cover shifting to the simultaneous frontal cover shifting, which opens the frontal cover.
• Known furniture containers designed for storing raising upwards screen have a front wall. That wall covers the screen at its lowered, stand-by position, however after raising the screen into the upper position, only the elevating device is covered by the wall. Stroke of the retractable unit of the elevating device must be calculated to raise the screen upwards to the position in which it is totally uncovered. Lower part of the screen often includes built in speakers or control panels.
• the solution is dividing the front cover into two parts, lower part - stationary, often covered by an additional frontal container of the furniture and the upper part - retractable, fixed detachably or liftingly by the hinges.
• the object of the invention is providing of an automatic opening the moveable part of the front wall, which is the frontal cover, using a drive from the handle of raising upwards screen during its vertical movement.
• the cabinet has the upper cover and the frontal cover, which are liftingly connected, and the cabinet includes bidirectional, simultaneous system of shifting the upper cover along with the frontal cover, caused by simultaneous movement of retractable unit of the elevating device.
• the retractable unit of the elevating device includes the cam fixed to the retractable unit of the elevating device, raising upwards the upper cover and simultaneously raising the frontal cover connected with the upper cover liftingly.
• the upper cover and the frontal cover are coupled by means of the hinges.
• the frontal cover includes magnets. The upper cover and the frontal cover at the open position are situated behind the raised screen or can be lowered below the raised screen.
• Cuboid-form cabinet 1 - determined by the front wall 2, back wall 3, side walls 4 and deflected upper cover 5 - includes moveable frontal cover 6 which is a part of the front wall 2.
• Exposed flat object, especially TV plasma screen 30, is shiftingly situated in the cabinet 1.
• the frontal cover 6 at the raised screen 30 position is shifted uncovering lower part of the screen 30 which allows reducing the stroke of the retractable unit of the elevating device 31 , which is built in the cabinet 1 , by the cover's width.
• the frontal cover 6 is liftingly coupled with the upper cover 5 by means of the hinges 32.
• the upper cover is liftingly mounted in the back wall by the hinges 33.
• the frontal cover 6 includes the magnets 34 which are used for pressing it to the front wall 2 , also quipped with the magnets, in the closed position.
• the elevating device 31 can has screw drive, telescopic-screw drive or string drive, not shown at the drawings.
• the mount of the exposed screen 30 is fixed to the retractable carrying element 31 of the elevating device.
• the cam 19 is mounted to the retractable carrying element 31 , and shifted with this unit.
• the frontal cover 6 is situated with it behind the screen 30, generally at vertical position, axially towards the upper cover 5.
