Patent number: 7810213Abstract: An actuating mechanism for a pivotably mounted actuating arm for driving a flap of a piece of furniture includes a spring device and a transmission mechanism. The spring device includes a spring-loaded setting member and the transmission mechanism converts the movement of the setting member into a pivoting movement of the actuating arm. The transmission mechanism includes at least one pivotably mounted interlever interacting between the setting member and the actuating arm so that interaction between the interlever and the setting member or the actuating arm occurs by a setting contour. The transmission mechanism includes at least one adjustment device to alter the transmission ratio between the movement of the setting member and the pivoting movement of the actuating arm.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2008Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Julius Glum GmbHInventor: Klaus Brüstle

Patent number: 7100907Abstract: A braking and damping device for movable pieces of furniture has a fluid-cylinder (1) in which two pistons (2, 5) are arranged in a linearly displaceable manner. One of the pistons (2) is displaceable by a piston rod (3). Arranged between the two pistons (2, 5) is an elastically deformable sealing member, which, when damping occurs, is deformed by being squeezed between the two pistons (2, 5) and pressed against a cylinder wall (7).Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2002Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Julius Blum Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventors: Helmut Fitz, Klaus Brüstle

Patent number: 6499818Abstract: A pull-out guidance assembly for drawers has one drawer-side pull-out rail and one body-side bearing rail on both sides of the drawer. A fluidic damper is provided as a rotation damper (20). Between the bearing rail (4) and the pull-out rail (6) is displaceably disposed a center rail (5). The pull-out rail (6) is set into a drawer side wall (3) and fixed therein. The fluidic damper, which is mounted on the pull-out rail (6) or the drawer side wall (3), includes a pinion (10), which meshes with a rack section (16) of a slider (8) movable relative to the pull-out rail (6), to the drawer side wall (3) and to the bearing rail (4). A stop (11) disposed on the bearing rail (4) is provided for the slider (8).Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2001Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Julius Blum Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventor: Klaus Brüstle

Patent number: RE37236Abstract: A hinge pot has a housing which can be inserted into a bore in a furniture part and dowel-type expandable clamping jaws which can be inserted in the bore and which can be pressed against the bore wall by way of expanding members constructed as tie rods. The expanding members are movable by way of an eccentric lever in the direction of insertion of the hinge pot perpendicular to the plane of mounting thereof. The clamping jaws are cylinder sections of visco-elastic material. The expanding members are metal, are located between the hinge pot and the respective clamping jaws, and have hooks at their free ends. Opposite the hooks are provided contact pressure cams which are supported against a housing wall of the hinge pot.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1997Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Inventors: Klaus Brüstle, Helmut Rupprechter
