  • Patent number: 12096852
    Abstract: A pull-out guide includes a carcass rail, a drawer rail movable along a longitudinal axis in an opening and closing direction of a movable furniture part, a drive apparatus for moving the drawer rail and the movable furniture part between a closed position and an open position, and a depth adjustment device for adjusting the closed position of the drawer rail relative to the carcass rail. The depth adjustment device has a carrier, a stop element movable relative to the carrier, and a depth adjustment wheel mounted rotatably about a rotation axis on the carrier for moving the stop element along the longitudinal axis. The rotation axis of the depth adjustment wheel is parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the stop element contacts a stop-counterpart piece of the drive apparatus in the closed position and is releasable by the stop-counterpart piece.

  • Publication number: 20240164521
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide for movably supporting a drawer on a furniture body includes a body rail to be secured to the furniture body, a loading rail to be connected to the drawer and movably mounted relative to the body rail in a longitudinal direction, and—optionally—a central rail arranged between the body rail and the loading rail. The drawer pull-out guide has a dead weight and a maximum load-bearing capacity, and the ratio of the dead weight of the drawer pull-out guide to the maximum load-bearing capacity of the drawer pull-out guide is less than 1 to 50, preferably less than 1 to 57, particularly preferably less than 1 to 65.

  • Patent number: 9140289
    Abstract: A fixing device for fixes a furniture fitting to an item of furniture. The furniture fitting is able to be fixed to the item of furniture using the fixing device, by selectively using a left-hand or a right-hand furniture-fitting side. The device has a connecting element and a fixing body that has a through-passage. The connecting element is at least partially arranged in the through-passage, movable in a limited manner relative to the fixing body, and has at least two connecting element stops as well as two connecting element regions for fixing the furniture fitting to the item of furniture. At least two stops are designed in or on the fixing body, and when in the assembly position, one of these two stops corresponds, in each case, to one of the two connecting element stops.

  • Patent number: 8567884
    Abstract: The invention relates to a synchronization device for moving a first actuating device in synchronization with at least one second actuating device. The first actuating device and the second actuating device are provided on a piece of furniture in the installed state in order to move a movable furniture part. The device includes a synchronization rod for transferring a synchronous motion of the at least two actuating devices, and at least one fastening device, by which the synchronization rod can be detachably connected to at least one of the two actuating devices. At least one detachable locking device is also provided, which prevents the synchronization rod from being connected to the at least one fastening device in the locked state of the locking device, wherein the locking device is in the locking state without prior actuation by a user.
