  • Patent number: 11851927
    Abstract: A flap fitting for furniture has a lever mechanism with multiple levers for guiding a flap of the furniture. The lever mechanism is retracted at least partly into a housing of the lever fitting in a closed position. An auxiliary element is releasably secured to one of the levers of the lever mechanism. The auxiliary element has a locking section that blocks a movement of the lever relative to the housing in a locking position. After the lock of the auxiliary element is released, the auxiliary element is pivotally secured to one of the levers of the lever mechanism in order to extend the lever mechanism out of the opening by pulling the auxiliary element.

  • Publication number: 20230046661
    Abstract: A hinge or an item of furniture or a domestic appliance has a first hinge part and a second hinge part, which are interconnected via a lever mechanism having seven articulation pins and levers articulated thereon. The first hinge part has a first connecting piece and the second hinge part has a second connecting piece which are arranged parallel and spaced apart in a closed position of the hinge; and a cover element at least partially covers the lever mechanism on at least three sides in order to make it impossible to reach between the levers of the lever mechanism. A plurality of cover plates are formed integrally with the cover element, and the cover plates arranged on one side of the lever mechanism can be partially overlappingly pivoted relative to one another when the hinge is pivoted. The possibility of reaching into the lever mechanism is thereby prevented.

  • Patent number: 11525295
    Abstract: A furniture board with an integrated or inserted flap fitting includes a lever mechanism having a plurality of levers guiding a flap of a furniture item. The flap fitting has a spring unit acting on at least one lever of the lever mechanism via an adjustable preload. The lever mechanism, in a closed position of the guided flap, moves into a front-side opening of the flap fitting and a front-side opening of the furniture board. The preload of the spring unit and/or the transmission ratio between the spring unit and the lever mechanism is adjustable via an adjusting element having a tool receptacle. The tool receptacle is accessible through a front-side opening in the furniture board and/or the flap fitting.
