  • Patent number: 10676976
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ejection device for ejecting a movable furniture part from a closed position into an open position along an opening path, comprising a support and a coupling device for coupling the ejection device to the movable furniture part. The coupling device has a coupling piece which can be moved relative to the support and a coupling counter piece which is arranged on the movable furniture part or on a furniture body. The coupling device has a coupling position and a decoupling position, and the ejection device can be coupled to the movable furniture part via the coupling device in the coupling position. The ejection device also comprises a controller, by means of which the coupling device can be switched depending on the opening path, and the coupling device reaches the decoupling position from the coupling position in the event of a specified opening path.

  • Patent number: 10662690
    Abstract: An actuating arm drive for a pivotably mounted actuating arm includes a pivotably mounted main lever, a force accumulator for exerting a force for supporting the opening and/or closing movement of the actuating arm drive on the main lever at a force introduction point, and a setting device for setting the force introduction point on the main lever. The force is introduced to the main lever at the force introduction point via a force introduction element which is loaded by the force accumulator via levers, and the setting device is designed to move the force introduction element along a bearing contour formed on the main lever. In each pivoting position of the main lever between the open and closed position of the actuating arm drive, and in each setting of the setting device, the loaded force introduction element is forced along the bearing contour in the same direction.

  • Patent number: 10653240
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes an entrainment member for retracting a movable furniture part into a closed position, and the entrainment member is displaceably mounted in sections along a linear travel path and can be detachably coupled to the movable furniture part. A spring device applies force to the entrainment member in a retraction direction, and a damping device damps movement of the entrainment member in the retraction direction. The damping device includes a fluid chamber and a ram which is displaceably mounted relative to the fluid chamber. A holding device is arranged between the ram and the entrainment member, and the holding device holds the ram relative to the entrainment member. The ram is movable through an opening of the holding device when a force acting upon the entrainment member in the retraction direction is exceeded, whereby the entrainment member can be decoupled from the ram.

  • Patent number: 10590692
    Abstract: A furniture drive system includes a mechanical control unit having a pivotably mounted control arm for moving a movable furniture part, a spring device for applying force to the control arm, and a movably mounted control part having a transmission opening for transmitting a force from the spring device to the control arm. An electrical drive unit has an electric motor for moving the movable furniture part, and a driver to be driven by the electric motor for transmitting a torque of the electric motor to the mechanical control unit. The driver can be inserted into the transmission opening, and the electrical drive unit and the mechanical control unit are designed as separate assemblies and can be fastened to each other. A contact surface for the driver is arranged laterally adjacent to the transmission opening and the driver is preloaded toward the contact surface by a force store.

  • Patent number: 10575637
    Abstract: A drive device for a movable furniture part, in particular for a drawer, includes a push-out device for pushing the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position, and includes a locking device for locking the push-out device in a locked position. The locking device has a locking guide track, which is in particular cardioid, and a locking pin movable and lockable in the locking guide track. A control device is provided which is separate from the locking guide track and from the locking pin, and the movement of the locking pin in the locking guide track can be at least partially controlled by the control device.

  • Patent number: 10568424
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a fastening portion having a vertical limb and a transverse limb protruding from the vertical limb. The transverse limb is connected to a limb of the carcass rail, an extension rail is displaceably supported relative to the carcass rail, and a rolling body is arranged between the carcass rail and the extension rail and is supported on a running limb of the carcass rail and/or the extension rail. The limb of the carcass rail has a first limb portion connected to the transverse limb. A second limb portion of the carcass rail, in an unloaded condition of the drawer pull-out guide, is spaced from the transverse limb by a gap, and can be tilted or bent towards the transverse limb. Therefore, a change of relative position between the running limb and the rolling body can be compensated for, and the gap can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10508673
    Abstract: A securing device for securing a furniture fitting to a piece of furniture is provided. The furniture fitting can be selectively secured to the piece of furniture by a left furniture fitting face or a right furniture fitting face using the securing device. The securing device includes a connecting element having two connecting element regions for securing the furniture fitting to the piece of furniture, and a securing body with a through-opening. The connecting element is at least partly in the through-opening and can be moved relative to the securing body, the connecting element having at least one stop element which can be moved to a limited degree relative to the connecting element.

  • Patent number: 10508483
    Abstract: An ejection device includes a support formed as a housing; an ejection element for ejecting the movable furniture part from a closed position into an open position along an ejection path; an ejection force accumulator which applies a force to the ejection element in the opening direction of the movable furniture part; and a clamping device for clamping the ejection force accumulator. The clamping device has a clamping element to be coupled to the movable furniture part, and a movement transmission element, in particular a rotatable movement transmission element, between the clamping element and the ejection element. The clamping element and the ejection element can be moved in opposite directions when coupled by the movement transmission element when the ejection force accumulator is clamped, and the ejection element, the movement transmission element, and the clamping element are moveable together relative to the support over a first part of the ejection path.
