Patent ID: 7178202

Claim:
A door setting device for a cupboard comprising a setting arm ( 10 , 110 ) in which one end of the setting arm can be fixed at a side wall ( 3 , 103 ) of a cupboard body ( 1 , 101 ) so as to be pivotable around a first setting axis ( 13 , 113 ) between an open position and a closed position in which the other end of the setting arm can be fixed at a door ( 8 , 108 ) so as to be pivotable around a second setting axis ( 16 , 116 ), and which comprises a setting contour ( 18 , 118 ) around the first setting axis ( 13 , 113 ), said setting contour ( 18 , 118 ) being further biased by setting means ( 19 , 119 ), a control arm ( 11 , 111 ) in which one end of the control arm can be fixed at a side wall ( 3 , 103 ) of the cupboard body ( 1 , 101 ) so as to be pivotable around a first control axis ( 14 , 114 ) between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first control axis ( 14 , 114 ) is arranged parallel to and at a distance from the first setting axis ( 13 , 113 ), and in which the other end of the control arm can be fixed at a door ( 8 , 108 ) so as to be pivotable around a second control axis ( 17 , 117 ), wherein the second control axis ( 17 , 117 ) is arranged parallel to and at a distance from the second setting axis ( 16 , 116 ), wherein said setting contour ( 18 , 118 ) is designed in the shape of a curve such that said setting arm ( 10 , 110 ) is force-loaded by said setting means along at least a first part of its pivot path extending from an intermediate position, which is between the open position and the closed position along the pivot path, to the open position such that a torque is applied to the setting arm which is equivalent to a counter-torque introduced by the dead weight of the door in any position along said first part of the pivot path, wherein the door ( 8 , 108 ) can be held in any position between the open position and the intermediate position by the torque which is applied to the setting arm.
