  • Patent number: 12276148
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes a housing to be arranged on a furniture panel, and an actuating arm assembly for moving the movable furniture part, and the actuating arm assembly includes an actuating arm movably-supported relative to the housing to be fixed to the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly is movable between a first relative position and a second relative position, and includes actuating arms pivotable relative to one another. A pivotal movement of the actuating arm assembly from the second relative position toward the first relative position can be blocked by a releasable blocking device including a movably supported blocking element movable between a blocking position and an unblocking position. A blocking element of the blocking device is supported on one of the actuating arms and includes an abutment bearing against a counter-abutment of the other of the actuating arms in the blocking position.

  • Patent number: 12264531
    Abstract: A drive device for a movable furniture part including a support to be fastened to a furniture carcass, an actuation arm device mounted movably on the support and to be connected to the movable furniture part, an energy store for applying force to the actuation arm device, a damping device for damping a closing and opening movement of the actuation arm device, and an adjusting device for adjusting a force of the damping device, a damping start position in relation to an angle position of the actuation arm device, and/or in terms of a damping travel. The adjusting device includes an adjusting element coupled to the damping device such that an adjustment of the damping force, damping start position, and/or damping travel takes effect when the actuation arm device is damped during the closing movement, and when the actuation arm device is damped during the opening movement.

  • Patent number: 12247426
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes a carrier to be fixed a furniture carcass, an actuating arm for moving the movably-supported furniture part relative to the carrier, the actuating arm being pivotable about a first pivoting axis, and an interface for fixing a synchronization shaft, and configured to synchronize a pivotal movement of the actuating arm with a pivotal movement of an actuating arm of a further actuating drive. The interface includes a component pivotable about a second pivoting axis, the second pivoting axis being arranged laterally offset to the first pivoting axis of the actuating arm. The carrier has an upper side which, in a mounted condition of the furniture drive on the furniture carcass, faces towards a top panel of the furniture carcass, and the first pivoting axis has a larger perpendicular distance to the upper side than the second pivoting axis.

  • Patent number: 12203306
    Abstract: A guide system includes a guide rail and a guiding device, and is movably supported between a retracted end position and an extended end position along the guide rail. A cover can cover a front face of the guide rail, and is movable between a first operating position, in which the cover at least partially covers the front face of the guide rail, and a second operating position, in which the cover at least partially reveals the front face. An actuating device can move the cover from the first operating position into the second operating position, and a coupling device can releasably couple the guiding device to the actuating device in a partial section of the guide rail. When coupled, the actuating device can be entrained by the guiding device so as to move the cover from the first operating position into the second operating position.

  • Patent number: 12188275
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes a main part and an actuator arm rotatably mounted on the main part about a first rotational axis. The actuator arm has multiple levers, and a securing interface arranged on an imaginary securing interface plane and via which the furniture front part can be secured to the actuator arm. The actuator arm can be moved continuously with respect to the first rotational axis between a first rotational position, which corresponds to a closed position of the furniture front part that can be secured to the actuator arm and which can be assigned a rotational angle ? of 0°, and a second rotational position, which corresponds to a maximum open position of the furniture front part that can be secured to the actuator arm and which can be assigned a rotational angle ? greater than 0°.
