  • Patent number: 10085557
    Abstract: A device for adjusting a position of a furniture part on an item of furniture such that a closed position of the furniture part is predeterminable. The device includes an adjustment element for rotating a positioning default mechanism, and an abutment portion which interacts with an adjustment contour of the adjustment element. The adjustment contour extends as a spiral, by way of which a region of the adjustment contour and the abutment portion interact in such a manner that a stop of the device is slidable into a position, so that the closed position of the furniture part is predeterminable. The adjustment contour comprises a multi-edge portion with several surface portions which are aligned at an angle with respect to one another. The adjustment contour interacts with a counter portion on the abutment portion in such a manner that several predetermined rotational positions of the adjustment element are configurable.

  • Patent number: 9914150
    Abstract: The invention relates to a graphical application system to apply a desired pattern by multiple tiles onto a target surface. The system comprises a graphical application device comprising a base structure with a trackable optical feature, at least one nozzle for expelling paint, a driving unit for positioning the nozzle and a local camera for a local referencing of the nozzle. A controller controls the driving unit and the expelling of the nozzle to achieve an application of the desired pattern on the target surface. The system also comprises an external referencing device located remote from the graphical application device, for a global referencing of the application device according to the trackable optical feature. The desired pattern is applied with a primary alignment of the application range by the global referencing and with a fine-alignment of the actual tile to a previously applied tile according to the local referencing.
