Abstract: A braking means for a movable part of a furniture component, especially an upholstered furniture component, which has support frame (1), with a slide rail (7) to be attached to either of a movable part (3) and a support frame (1), and with a brake bearing block (8) to be attached to the other of the support frame (1) and movable part (3), an adjustment device (9) for adjustment of the braking force exerted by the brake bearing block (8) on the slide rail (7) being provided on the brake bearing block (8). Especially sensitive adjustability and a small starting jerk are accomplished in this braking device by the bearing block (8) having two brake rollers (11) which roll on opposite brake surfaces (10) of the slide rail (7). As an alternative, the brake bearing block (8) is located within a crosspiece (6) through which the slide rail (7) penetrates.

Abstract: A seating furniture component with coupled backrest and seat adjustment, having a support chassis (1), a backrest (2) and a seat (3) adjustably attached to the support chassis (1), with the backrest (2) and seat (3) being movably joined to one another in the area of the vertex of the angle between them, the backrest (2) being coupled to a pivot axis (4) on the support chassis (1) at a distance above the vertex of the angle, and the seat (3) being movably attached to the support chassis (1) near the front edge of the seat (3) by a support mechanism (5, 6). The backrest (2) executes a superimposed tiltback and lowering motion from a sitting position into a reclining position, relative to the support chassis (1), while the seat (3) executes a slight superimposed sliding and lifting motion in a synchronized manner.
