[0001] The present invention concerns a piece of furniture with extractable elements and adjustable supports for orderly containing shoes, slippers and similar.
[0002] The household problem is well known to orderly keep all the shoes of the hole family, which at present is solved by means of shoe-cupboard with a plurality of shelves which,. moreover, always are encumbersome of large surfaces of walls, even if of reduced thickness.
[0003] Document FR-1 441 681 A describes a cupboard with vertically extractable drawers for supporting different objects on parallel shelves. Said structure seems to be similar to the one commonly used in chemist's shops for medical products, with a plurality of vertical flanked drawers, that may be extracted from the container.
[0004] It is the aim of the present invention to exploit possible free spaces in the household, e.g. between cupboards or other furniture and the walls, even if only of 15 cm and for unimportant depths, which at present are completely unused.
[0005] The aim set forth is reached by means of the piece of furniture according to the present invention, which consists of a covering element, open in correspondence of one of its narrow lateral faces, from which an interal means for housing shoes and similar is taken out, mounted on small wheels or other, which in turn is provided with a plurality of shelves comprising supporting elements for a plurality of shoes, that may be adjusted in different positions, so that once the piece of furniture has been inserted into a space of reduced thickness - even of tens of centimeters - and depths different according to the situations, said piece of furniture is not of any encumbrance while, at the moment of use, the internal containing element is taken out by means of a handle or similar, showing the shoes orderly stored therein.
[0006] The advantages deriving from the present invention are evident: infact, a plurality of shoe containers may be arranged in different points of the house, which until now have been unused, showing only the narrow extraction face while, following to the motion on the small wheels, the whole extension of the piece of furniture may be shown for the choice of many pairs of shoes and similar, of any shape an dimension.
[0007] The present invention will be described more in detail hereinbelow relating to the enclosed drawings in which some embodiments are shown.

[0008] The enclosed figures show a piece of furniture with extractable elements and adjustable supports for orderly containing shoes, slippers and similar, mainly consisting of:
- a covering structure 1 with a preferably parallelepiped shape, open along two opposite rectangular faces 2,
- a carriage structure 3, movable on wheels 4, consisting of two uprights 5, 5' of dimensions corresponding to said open rectangular faces 2 of said structure 1, so that the uprights 5, 5' fit in said open rectangular faces 2, and comprising a plurality of shelves 6 with a nonskid rubber plane, and with lateral guides 7 for the correct sliding of the supporting blades 8 which are orientable in order to support different kinds and different dimensions of shors in a vertical sense which in this way take much less space than when they are placed in plane position;
- an articulation 9 for the motion of said blades 8 on the sliding guides 7;
- two drawers 10, opposed in the lower end part of said carriage structure 3, with angular opening on movable hinges 11, with a standstill tongue 12 pin.
