Patent number: 11613922Abstract: A guide system includes a first guide rail for guiding a door wing, a second guide rail for guiding the door wing. A carrier can move the door wing relative to the second guide rail in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail. A drive device has a force storage member, and the carrier can be at least partially ejected by the drive device from the retracted position of the carrier by a force of the force storage member. The drive device includes a coupling portion and a control curve, and the coupling portion and the control curve are decoupled over a large part of the movement of the carrier between the extended position and the retracted position. The carrier can be retracted into the retracted position starting from a position immediately before the retracted position when the coupling portion couples with the control curve.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: JULIUS BLUM GMBHInventors: Matthias Rupp, Christian Hauer, Hermann Haemmerle, Ingo Gasser, Franz Kohlweiss

Patent number: 11536069Abstract: An ejecting device for a folding door is movably arranged on a furniture body. First and second door leaves of the folding door are interconnected in an articulated manner. The ejecting device has an ejecting element for folding open the folding door from a closed position, in which the door leaves are in a common closed plane, into an open position, in which the door leaves form an angle not equal to 180°.

Patent number: 11008791Abstract: A guide system includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail for guiding furniture parts. The second guide rail extends transversely relative to the first guide rail in a mounted position. A guiding device is to be connected to one of the furniture parts, and is movable relative to the first and second guide rails and can be transferred in a crossing region between the first and second guide rail. The guide system has a drive device with an entrainment member acted upon by a force storage member and configured to be releasably coupled to the guiding device. The entrainment member is locked in a parking position and can be unlocked by an entry of the guiding device into the crossing region. Thus, the entrainment member and the guiding device coupled therewith can be retracted along the second guide rail by a force of the force storage member.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventors: Matthias Rupp, Christian Hauer, Hermann Haemmerle, Ingo Gasser, Franz Kohlweiss

Patent number: 10995830Abstract: A furniture drive for a furniture part movably-supported relative to a furniture carcass, includes at least one pivotally mounted actuating arm for moving the movable furniture part, a spring device for applying a force to the actuating arm, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force from the spring device to the actuating arm. The transmission mechanism includes a first setting contour having a first torque progression and a pressure portion pressurized by the spring device. The pressure portion is configured to run along the first setting contour upon a movement of the actuating arm, and a second setting contour having a second torque progression deviating from the first torque progression and a switching device are provided. The second setting contour can be engaged with the pressure portion so that the pressure portion is configured to run along the second setting contour upon a movement of the actuating arm.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventors: Alexander Simon Flogaus, Franz Kohlweiss

Patent number: 10753133Abstract: An ejection device includes an ejection element for spreading apart a folding door from a closed position. At least two door wings are arranged in a common closing plane, towards an open position, and the at least two door wings form an angle different from 180° relative to each other. The ejection element can be acted upon by an energy storage member to be manually loaded by an operator, and the ejection device includes a locking device for releasably locking the ejection element against the force of the loaded energy storage member. The locking device can be unlocked by applying pressure to the folding door. The ejection device includes a movably-mounted loading element for loading the energy storage member by folding together the folding door. The ejection element and the loading element are spatially separated constructional units, and the ejection element is a pivotally mounted ejection lever.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventor: Franz Kohlweiss
