  • Ejection device for a movable furniture part
    Patent number: 8534781
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for locking and ejecting a movable furniture part, comprising two unlockable ejection devices arranged on both sides of a furniture body or on the movable furniture part, and spring-loaded ejectors, wherein the unlockable ejection devices comprise a catch element mounted on a linearly displaceable carriage, the catch element engaging into a slotted guide path having the shape of a heart curve and by which the movable furniture part can be held in a closed latching position (E) via a locking element. According to the invention, this latching position (E) can be released by overpressing the movable furniture part towards the interior, wherein the linearly displaceable carriages of the two unlockable ejector devices are motionally coupled via a rotatable synchronization rod.

  • Lockable pull-out guide
    Patent number: 8491069
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a drawer and a pull-out guide for the drawer. The drawer has a drawer container and a front panel that can be connected to the drawer container, and the pull-out guide has at least one body rail for fastening to a furniture body and at least one drawer rail, which can be moved relative to the body rail between an open position and a closed position and on which the drawer can be fastened to the pull-out guide. The arrangement also includes a releasable locking element so that, in a locking position, the motion of the drawer rail in the closing direction relative to the body rail can be stopped in an intermediate position before the closed position is reached, and, in a release position, the motion of the drawer rail in the closing direction relative to the body rail can be released until the closed position is reached.

  • EJECTING DEVICE FOR A MOVABLE FURNITURE PART
    Publication number: 20130154461
    Abstract: An ejecting device for a movable furniture part includes an ejector, which can be moved between a first and a second position, for ejecting the movable furniture part, a drive train having an electrical drive unit that drives the ejector and a gear mechanism arranged between the drive unit and the ejector and which has an output that acts on the ejector, and an open-loop or closed-loop control device for controlling the drive unit in an open-loop or closed-loop manner. A force accumulator is integrated in the gear mechanism between the drive unit and the output, and a monitoring device connected to the drive train can detect an unloading of the force accumulator and report the unloading to the open-loop or closed-loop control device. The open-loop or closed-loop control device activates the electrical drive unit to move the ejector back to the first position after detection of the unloading.

  • DAMPING DEVICE FOR FURNITURE PARTS
    Publication number: 20130145580
    Abstract: A damping device for damping motion of a movably mounted furniture part or of a movably mounted furniture fitting component of a furniture fitting includes a piston arranged in a fluid chamber. A damping effect is caused by a relative motion between the fluid chamber and the piston and the piston assumes a pressed-in end position relative to the fluid chamber at the end of the damping stroke. The damping device has a locking device having a locking element that can be operated manually or by a tool in order to deactivate the damping effect. The relative position between the fluid chamber and the piston can be releasably locked in the pressed-in end position by the locking element of the locking device.
