  • Publication number: 20230358087
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes base body to be fixed to a furniture carcass, an actuating arm to be fixed to a movable furniture part, and a locking device for locking the actuating arm to the base body. The locking device includes a locking element movable between a locking position, in which the actuating arm is locked to the base body, and a demounting position, in which the actuating arm can be demounted from the base body. An actuating device can preferably be actuated with a tool, for moving the locking element from the locking position into the demounting position. The furniture drive includes a releasable securing device configured to prevent a movement of the locking element from the locking position into the demounting position upon an actuation of the actuating device.

  • Publication number: 20230313587
    Abstract: A drive device for a movable furniture part including a support to be fastened to a furniture carcass, an actuation arm device mounted movably on the support and to be connected to the movable furniture part, an energy store for applying force to the actuation arm device, a damping device for damping a closing and opening movement of the actuation arm device, and an adjusting device for adjusting a force of the damping device, a damping start position in relation to an angle position of the actuation arm device, and/or in terms of a damping travel. The adjusting device includes an adjusting element coupled to the damping device such that an adjustment of the damping force, damping start position, and/or damping travel takes effect when the actuation arm device is damped during the closing movement, and when the actuation arm device is damped during the opening movement.
