  • Publication number: 20230272655
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes a carrier and an actuating arm assembly arranged on the carrier and including a movably-supported actuating arm. The furniture drive also includes a spring device for applying a force to the actuating arm assembly, the spring device being connected to the actuating arm assembly via an engagement location, a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force of the spring device to the actuating arm assembly, and an adjustment device including a rotatably-supported adjustment element. A relative position of the engagement location can be adjusted by a rotation of the adjustment element. The furniture drive further includes an overload safety device configured to couple the adjustment element with the transmission mechanism upon rotation of the adjustment element with torque below a predetermined torque, and to decouple the adjustment element from the transmission mechanism upon rotation of the adjustment element with torque above the predetermined torque.

  • Publication number: 20230272648
    Abstract: A furniture fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture part, in particular a furniture flap, on a furniture panel, includes a main body, a rotary lever, and a bearing pin. The bearing pin is connected to the main body and/or to at least one base lever, and the rotary lever has a hole and the bearing pin projects through the hole. The rotary lever has, in at least one region surrounding the hole, a widened portion which extends at least in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bearing pin.

  • Publication number: 20230272649
    Abstract: A furniture fitting includes a main body and a covering cap. The main body can be at least partially inserted in a furniture panel of a furniture carcass, and the covering cap can be installed on the main body to at least partially cover at least one lateral face of the main body in the installed state. The installation position of the covering cap can be adjusted relative to the main body, preferably without tools.

  • Publication number: 20230265699
    Abstract: A furniture fitting includes a lever mechanism for moving a furniture part, the lever mechanism including a lever pivotally supported about a hinge axis, and the lever has a, in particular cylindrical, opening in which the hinge axis is arranged with a clearance. A force storage member, preferably including a spring device, is provided for applying a force to the lever mechanism. The hinge axis, upon a pivoting movement of the lever, is movable from a first bearing location within the opening to a second bearing location within the opening under the influence of the force storage member. A spring element pressurizes the hinge axis with a force at least in a direction extending transversely to a notional connecting line of the two bearing locations of the hinge axis within the opening of the lever.

  • Publication number: 20230031674
    Abstract: A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably-supported relative to a furniture carcass includes a housing to be arranged on or within a furniture panel of the furniture carcass, and an actuating arm assembly for moving the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly includes an actuating arm movably-supported relative to the housing, and the actuating arm is to be fixed to the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly is movable at least between a first relative position, in which the actuating arm is arranged within the housing, and a second relative position, in which the actuating arm is arranged outside the housing. An actuating device is releasably connected or to be connected to the actuating arm, and is configured to move the actuating arm assembly from the first relative position into the second relative position.

  • Patent number: 9498062
    Abstract: An actuating drive for moving a moveable furniture part includes at least one moveably mounted actuating member for moving the moveable furniture part a spring device for subjecting the actuating member to force; and an adjustment device by which a force of the spring device acting on the actuating member can be adjusted. The adjustment device has an adjustment screw having a thread, wherein the force of the spring device acting on the actuating member can be adjusted via a screw nut mounted displaceably along the thread. At least one spring element is provided via which the screw nut can be subjected, at at least one end region of the adjustment screw, to a force directed away from the end region.

  • Patent number: 9464473
    Abstract: An actuator for a flap on an item of furniture includes at least one actuating arm that is mounted to pivot between a closed position and an open position in order to move the flap, a spring device for acting on the actuating arm, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the force of the spring device onto the actuating arm. An adjustment device allows the transmission mechanism to be shifted between at least two operating positions. In a first operating position, the spring device applies a closing force, in the direction of the closed position, onto the actuating arm which is in an opening position immediately upstream of said closed position. In a second operating position, when said actuating arm is in the aforementioned, immediately-upstream opening position, the spring device exerts a force which acts in the direction of the open position.

  • Patent number: 7926630
    Abstract: A mounting plate is provided for a linear damper with a cylinder, a piston, and a piston rod. The cylinder of the linear damper is held between holding jaws of the mounting plate. The holding jaws of the mounting plate form a movable bearing in which the cylinder is axially displaceable. A stop is provided, which is made at least partially of a material with rubber elastic properties, which strikes against the cylinder of the linear damper during damping.
