  • Publication number: 20130154461
    Abstract: An ejecting device for a movable furniture part includes an ejector, which can be moved between a first and a second position, for ejecting the movable furniture part, a drive train having an electrical drive unit that drives the ejector and a gear mechanism arranged between the drive unit and the ejector and which has an output that acts on the ejector, and an open-loop or closed-loop control device for controlling the drive unit in an open-loop or closed-loop manner. A force accumulator is integrated in the gear mechanism between the drive unit and the output, and a monitoring device connected to the drive train can detect an unloading of the force accumulator and report the unloading to the open-loop or closed-loop control device. The open-loop or closed-loop control device activates the electrical drive unit to move the ejector back to the first position after detection of the unloading.

  • Publication number: 20130145580
    Abstract: A damping device for damping motion of a movably mounted furniture part or of a movably mounted furniture fitting component of a furniture fitting includes a piston arranged in a fluid chamber. A damping effect is caused by a relative motion between the fluid chamber and the piston and the piston assumes a pressed-in end position relative to the fluid chamber at the end of the damping stroke. The damping device has a locking device having a locking element that can be operated manually or by a tool in order to deactivate the damping effect. The relative position between the fluid chamber and the piston can be releasably locked in the pressed-in end position by the locking element of the locking device.
