The invention relates to a cabinet door for a metallic housing of cabinets with movable Compartments in which the compartments can be moved up and down along a closed path, in order to make them accessible in a suitable working situation.

Such cabinets are used, for example, for the space-saving storage of index cards and above all have the purpose of quickly and effortlessly converting the searched item into one for the processor to bring an appropriate working position. The cabinets are usually blinded. These blinds are quite difficult to move and very expensive. The movement of the blind is general quite noisy, which is annoying in quiet offices. There are too Closure flaps with, for example, a semicircular cross-section known that when opening the The barrier can be moved down into the interior of the cabinet. The disadvantage of these flaps is that a relatively large space must be provided inside the cabinet for them. To Doors or flaps that can be opened from the outside are unsuitable because they are annoying when they are open are.

It is therefore the aim of the invention to provide a space-saving, inexpensive, lightweight and low-noise indicate actuating cabinet door that avoids the disadvantages of known locking devices and their advantages combined.

According to the invention, the cabinet door is made of sliding in guide rails, by horizontal joints interconnected panels, which in the open position the inside of the cabinet partly from the front and partly make accessible from above, characterized in that the rails are horizontal on the inside the cabinet side walls are arranged near the top edge and at such a distance from the front wall of the cupboard that one of the panels ends with its upper hinge when the door is closed on the plate that follows in the direction of the cabinet depth and extends to the front end of the rail hangs and its lower edge against the upper edge of part of the cabinet height ending front wall supported, wherein the plate can be divided by further joints and the opposing plate edges are beveled inward, preferably after the The bisector of the angle formed by the plates in the closed position.

The invention is intended to be based on the preferred exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing Cabinet door

are explained in more detail. In the figures, the numerals denote the same or corresponding ones Parts.

F i g. 1 shows the cabinet door of a housing in the open state. On the two side walls of the Housing 1 each have a running rail 2 attached to opposite side walls. The rails exist for example from an angle plate on which the closure plates 3, 4 rest loosely. A guided tour the locking plate from above is not required. That is why they are particularly easy to move. However, rubber rollers can rest on the top of the closure plates if the There is a risk that the locking plates will be scratched when they are moved. The rectangular locking plates 3, 4 are connected to one another in an articulated manner, for example by a hinge 5. That Hinge 5 is horizontal and parallel to the front and rear walls of the housing 1. In some In some cases, however, it may be useful not to use the front or rear edge of the closure plates to train straight and z. B. to adapt to a curvature of the edge of the housing or the housing walls. A particular advantage of the closure plates over blinds is that by application a sound deadening agent on the inside of the plates can be deadened. Appropriately the length of the locking plates is chosen so that in the pushed-back state the rear Edge of the plate 4 runs near the rear wall of the housing 1, so that no special space in the housing is required, for example, to move the plate 4 downwards over a suitable running rail. If particularly long locking plates are required, which are pushed back because of the given depth of the cabinet cannot be accommodated on one level, it is

moderate to subdivide the plates 3, 4 by further hinges which run parallel to the hinge 5. The rear panels can then also be guided downwards along the rear of the housing by means of appropriately attached running rails. F i g. 2 shows the housing 1 with the cabinet doors closed. If the pivoting of the locking plate 3 into the interior of the housing is not prevented by lateral bearing surfaces, the running rail 2 runs so far forward that the locking plate 3 can only be pivoted down when the two locking plates 3, 4 are pulled all the way forward are. The closure plate 4 has at the rear end a bar or a projection 6 which, through the stop 7 on the housing 1, prevents the closure plates from being pulled out further. The front edge of the closure plate 3 is designed so that it is flush with the edge 9 of the housing to ensure a good closure, so that, for. B. a lock attached there is easy to operate. F i g. 3 shows the closure plates 3, 4 in an advanced state, the closure plate 3 being folded up. The hinge 5 is designed so that the closure plate 3 remains in a position in which it forms an acute angle with the closure plate 4. If different layers are desired, suitable supports can be provided. On the closure plate 3 can then, for. B. the work program of the operator can be launched. It is also useful to provide a horizontal pivotable plate 10 in the front wall of the housing 1 in order to obtain a work table. F i g. 4 shows the housing 1 of FIG. 2 with closed cabinet doors in a perspective view. F i g. 5 shows an embodiment in which the closure plates are subdivided into several plates 3 a, 3 b, 4 a, 4 b by further hinges 5 a, 5 b. With a corresponding course of the running rail 2, each consisting of straight sections, or with appropriately selected lateral support surfaces, any given, predetermined curvature of the closure plates can be achieved when the closure device is in the closed state. Appropriately, however, one will try to get by with the least possible subdivisions of the closure plates by hinges 5. Patent claims: 1. Cabinet door made of sliding in guide rails, by horizontal joints with each other connected panels, which in the open position of the cabinet interior partly from the front and partly from Make accessible above, characterized in that the rails are horizontal the insides of the cabinet side walls are arranged near the top edge and in one such a distance from the cabinet front wall end that one of the panels with the door closed with its upper joint at the following in the direction of the cabinet depth and up to the front end of the rail reaching plate hangs and its lower edge against the upper edge of the a part of the cabinet height ending front wall is supported, the plate by further joints can be divided and the opposing plate edges beveled inward are, preferably after the bisector of the plates in the closed position formed angle. 2. Cabinet door according to claim I _7, characterized in that the front closure plate (3) in the pulled-out state can be pivoted upwards and backwards and, supported in this position, forms an acute angle with the plate (4) adjacent to the rear. 3. Cabinet door according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the retracted closure plates (3, 4) lie in one plane that the rear edge of the rear closure plate is close to the rear wall of the housing (1) and that the closure plates can be pushed almost completely into the housing (FIG. 1).
