Abstract: A pivot fitting has a first lever mounted such that is pivotable out of a starting position about a force-transmitting shaft serving as an axis of rotation in relation to the shaft. The fitting has a clamping mechanism fixing the first lever in different angular positions relative to the shaft. The clamping mechanism has a toothed-ring disc positioned on the shaft and has an outer toothing structure formed on the outer periphery, a catch mounted in a pivotable manner on the first lever and is loaded in the direction of the outer toothing structure and, in a latching position, is in engagement with the outer toothing structure.

Abstract: A piece of furniture, in particular a piece of seating furniture, has a base part on which a movable furniture part is pivotably mounted via at least one pivot fitting, wherein the at least one pivot fitting is fixed to the base part by means of a first lever and is fixed to the movable furniture part by means of a second lever which is arranged pivotably with respect to the first lever, and a method for assembling a piece of furniture.

Abstract: An electromotive adjusting device for adjusting the inclination of a seat part of an item of seating furniture includes a mounting bracket for connecting to a body element of the item of seating furniture and a motor and transmission unit embodied as a drive unit. A mounting element secures the seat part of the item of seating furniture. The motor and transmission unit includes a rotatable drive element and is securely fixed to the at least one mounting bracket.

Abstract: A pivot fitting for moveable furniture parts on upholstered furniture has a first lever and a second lever that are mounted to as to pivot relative to each other about a common axis from a basic position through a predetermined angle. The pivot fitting also includes a clamping mechanism with which the two levers can be fixed relative to each other at different angular positions within the predetermined angle, the clamping mechanism has a toothing attached in a rotationally fixed manner on the second lever, at least one catch that is pivotally mounted on the first lever and loaded in the direction of the toothing, the catch engaging with the toothing in a detent position.

Abstract: A pivot fitting for moveable furniture parts on pieces of furniture has a first lever and a second lever mounted so as to pivot relative to each other about a common pivot axis from a basic position through a predetermined angle in an adjusting direction and a resetting direction, a latching mechanism, with which the two levers can be latched at different angular positions within the predetermined angle relative to each other counter to a force acting in the resetting direction, the levers being pivotable in the resetting direction when the latching mechanism is deactivated. A force-transmission shaft of the adjusting mechanism is coupled to the second level in a rotationally fixed manner. The latching mechanism can be deactivated by pivoting the second lever relative to the first lever in the adjusting direction when an end position has been reached.

Abstract: A furniture fitting for connecting furniture parts of upholstered furniture has a first fitting part for fastening to a first furniture part and a second fitting part fastenable to a second furniture part. The first fitting part has a base and two axles arranged parallel to one another and parallel to the base. A first one of the axles is fixedly connected to the first fitting part and a second one of the axles is displaceably mounted relative to the first axle perpendicular to the axles against a force of an energy storage device. The second fitting part has a first and a second mount for the first and second axle and is positioned on the first axle with the first mount to pivot around the first axle. The second axle latches into the second mount during pivoting to connect the two fitting parts to each other.

Abstract: A sensor system for determining an optical property of a plant by means of a reflection measurement, having a first light source, which emits light along a first beam axis, and a second light source, which emits light along a second beam axis, and at least one receiver, which is aligned along a third beam axis, to detect light reflected from the plant. The first light source, the second light source, and the receiver are arranged relative to one another so that a target cylinder, which respectively extends along the first beam axis and the second beam axis, and a first measuring cylinder, which extends along the third beam axis, at least partially overlap one another in a measuring space, and the first beam axis and the second beam axis respectively enclose an angle (?, ?) with the third beam axis. Related methods are also disclosed.
