Patent number: 8905498Abstract: A retracting device retracts a movably supported furniture part to the closed end position relative to a furniture body. The device includes a carrier, which can be detachably coupled to the movable furniture part and which is movably supported along a movement path that is linear at least in some sections, and at least one spring device for applying force to the carrier. The spring device can be tensioned by a spring retainer that is separate from the carrier, and the spring retainer is movably supported against or on the carrier. A coupling device is provided in order to couple motion between the carrier and the spring retainer. By the coupling device, the articulated attachment point of the spring device on the spring retainer falls back relative to the position of the moving carrier when the carrier is pulled out, so that the motion of the articulated attachment point of the spring device on the spring retainer is slower than the motion of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventor: Hermann Hammerle
