(54) Controlled closure system for sliding furniture elements


(57) A controlled closure system for a sliding element of a piece of furniture, comprises an elongated body (15) provided in which is a rectilinear groove (20) passing through the body and extended axially in the closure direction. An engagement element (16) slides along the groove (20) to move from a first idle position to a second closure position through the action of a spring (29). The engagement element (16) comprises abutment surfaces to delimit, between them, a seat (44) intended to accommodate a drawing projection (17) integral with the sliding element. Suitable sliding surfaces between the engagement element (16) and the groove cause the rotation of the engagement element (16) when it is in the idle position in such a manner to lower the front abutment surface (48) towards a groove and allow the passage of the drawing projection (17) towards the closure until it pushes against the rear abutment surface and rotate the engagement element to raise the front abutment surface and draw the projection (17) towards the closed position of the sliding element of a piece of furniture.
