Cabinet-shaped piece of furniture

Abstract

A cabinet-shaped piece of furniture having a folding lid ( 2 ) with two lid parts ( 3, 4 ) which are arranged one above the other. The upper lid part ( 3 ) is pivotally hinged to the body ( 1 ) of the piece of furniture, and the lower lid part ( 4 ) is pivotally [hinged] to the upper lid part ( 3 ). The axis of rotation ( 13 ) between the two lid parts ( 3, 4 ) lies in the region of the wall thickness ( 5 ) of the lid parts ( 3, 4 ). The distance of the instantaneous centre of rotation ( 20 ) of the lower lid part ( 4 ) from the lower edge ( 16 ) of the lower lid ( 4 ), when the folding lid ( 2 ) is closed, amounts to 25% of the height (h) of the lower lid part ( 4 ).

1 . A cabinet-shaped piece of furniture having a folding lid with two lid parts which are arranged one above the other and which are substantially equal in respect of height, wherein the upper lid part is pivotally hinged to the body of the piece of furniture and the lower lid part is pivotally hinged to the upper lid part, wherein the axis of rotation between the two lid parts lies in the region of the wall thickness of only one of the two lid parts. 
     
     
         2 . A cabinet-shaped piece of furniture according to  claim 1 , wherein arranged between the two lid parts is at least one hinge with a hinge arm and a hinge cup, wherein the hinge arm is arranged on the one lid part, and the hinge cup is placed inside the other lid part. 
     
     
         3 . A cabinet-shaped piece of furniture having a folding lid with two lid parts which are arranged one above the other and which are substantially equal in respect of height, wherein the upper lid part is pivotally hinged on the body of the piece of furniture, and the lower lid part is pivotally hinged to the upper lid part, having an actuating arm which is mounted to a side wall of the piece of furniture and which communicates by way of an axis of rotation with the lower lid part, and further having a handle provided on the lower lid part for opening the folding lid, wherein the handle is disposed below the axis of rotation connecting the actuating arm with the lower lid part, and that the handle is formed by the lower edge of the lower lid part.
