Claims
| 1. | 1). A cover for storage space affording access to a selected part thereof, comprising means for generating at least one opening (2) which can be configured and positioned at any location on the cover (1), which opening (2) affords access to a limited area of the storage space. 2). The cover of claim 1, wherein the means for generating at least one opening comprise at least a first pair of surfaces which are guided to move in at least a first direction and which are positionable at any place along the first direction and with any selected distance between surfaces of the first pair of surfaces; free ends of the first pair of surfaces being arranged at a predetermined reciprocal distance so as to identify a first gap of a predetermined size which can also be null; at least a second pair of surfaces being provided and guided to move in at least a second direction and which are positionable at any place along the second direction and with any selected distance between surfaces of the second pair of surfaces; free ends of the second pair of surfaces being arranged at a predetermined reciprocal distance so as to identify a second gap of predetermined size which can also be null; the second pair of surfaces being arranged transversally with respect to the first pair of surfaces and being in part superposed on the first pair of surfaces. 3). The cover of claim 2, wherein the first pair of surfaces are constituted by two first screens (11 and 12) which are commanded to translate along first parallel guides (13 and 14). 4). The cover of claim 3, wherein the second pair of surfaces are constituted by two second screens (21,22) which are commanded to translate along second parallel guides (23 and 24), which are transversally arranged with respect to the first parallel guides (13 and 14). 5). The cover of claim 4, wherein the first screens (11,12) are individually activated to move in two directions along the first parallel guides (13 and 14) and the second screens (21,22) are individually activated to move in two directions along the second parallel guides (23,24) by means of gear reducers commanded by a control unit which is provided with a memory in which various positions and configurations assumed by the screens can be stored. 6). The cover of claim 5, wherein the first screens (11 and 12) are respectively fixed to pairs of first guide devices (15 and 16) which are slidably coupled with the first parallel guides (13 and 14). 7). The cover of claim 6, wherein the pairs of first guide devices (15 and 16) are commanded to translate along the first parallel guides (13 and 14) by mechanical transmissions activated by gear reducers (17 and 18). 8). The cover of claim 7, wherein the first screens (11, 12) are fixed, at the free ends (10,10') thereof, each to one of the pairs of first guide devices (15,16). 9). The cover of claim 8, comprising first roller devices (19,19') which gather up the first screens (11,12) starting from opposite ends thereof to the free ends (10, 10'). 10). The cover of claim 5, wherein the second screens (21,22) are respectively fixed to pairs of second guide devices (25 and 26) which are slidably coupled with the first parallel guides (23 and 24). 11). The cover of claim 10, wherein the pairs of second guide devices (25 and 26) are commanded to translate along the second parallel guides (23 and 24) by mechanical transmissions activated by gear reducers (27 and 28). 12). The cover of claim 11, wherein the second screens (21,22) are fixed, at the free ends (20,20') thereof, each to one of the pairs of first guide devices (25,26). 13). The cover of claim 12, comprising second roller devices (29,29') which gather up the first screens (21,22) starting from opposite ends thereof to the free ends (20,20'). |
