Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03002838A1] The invention relates to a cupboard having doors or drawers, where opening and closing of the doors or drawers are effected automatically. In a preferred embodiment one or more sensors are mounted in a front part of the cupboard, and the sensors register a movement being made by a person wanting to open or close the drawers. Actuators open e.g. doors 10 of the cupboard by first displacing the doors outwards, substantially perpendicularly relative to the plane of the doors, and then by displacing the doors sideways parallel to the plane of the doors. Alternatively the doors of the cupboard are opened by initial combined displacement outwards and sideways and subsequent displacement sideways. The doors are thus in a projecting plane before the doors are displaced sideways. It is thus possible to open the doors even though there are other doors next to the doors to be opened.
