Abstract: A bearing device for sliding panels particularly for furniture is described which comprises: two sections (4) fixed at one end thereof at the upper cross-bar and at the other end thereof at the lower cross-bar of the piece of furniture respectively, by hinge means; a telescopic sliding guide (5) fixed to each of the sections (4) on the side where the panel (2) is located, the panel being slidably fixed to the telescopic guide (5). Means (11,13) for stopping the rotations of the sections (4) are placed substantially at the end of the sections which is opposite to the hinge means. The device also comprises elastic return means (22) connected at one end to a fixed portion (20) of the piece of furniture and, at the other end, to a pin (24) set in the sections (4). The elastic means are adapted to place and retain the panels (2) in their closed and open positions respectively.
