Patent number: 9140289Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Julius Blum GMBHInventor: Harald Sutterluetti

Patent number: 8677568Abstract: A furniture hinge is provided for pivotally connecting at least two parts of a piece of furniture. The furniture hinge includes at least two fastening pieces which can be fixed to one part of the piece of furniture, respectively, and can be hingedly joined to each other via at least one articulated shaft. The inventive furniture hinge further includes at least one motor, preferably an electric motor, for swiveling the fastening pieces.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventor: Harald Sutterlütti

Patent number: 8567884Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventors: Olaf Isele, Harald Sutterluetti

Patent number: 8424161Abstract: A furniture hinge includes a fitting part and a hinge cup that is pivotably connected thereto by way of at least one articulated lever. The articulated lever is connected to the hinge cup by way of an articulated axis (A). A cushioning apparatus can be actuated by an actuating element and is provided to cushion a relative movement between the fitting part and the hinge cup. The actuating element is mounted inside the hinge cup rotatably about a rotational axis (S) extending substantially parallel to the articulated axis (A) of the hinge cup, and the cushioning apparatus includes at least one linear cushioning member having at least one linearly displaceable plunger. A transmission mechanism converts a rotary movement of the actuating element into a linear movement of the plunger of the linear cushioning member.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Julius Blum GmbHInventor: Harald Sutterlütti
