  • Patent number: 11889919
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another. A supporting element is arranged on the first guide rail, and the supporting element is configured to be supported, at least temporarily, on the second guide rail. A position of the supporting element relative to the second guide rail can be adjusted by an adjustment device, and, after adjustment has been made, can be fixed relative to the first guide rail.

  • Patent number: 11866973
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a first guide system and a second guide system at a vertical distance from the first guide system. The two guide systems each has a guide and a guide body mounted to be displaceable on the guide, a carrier on which a door is to be fastened and which can be connected to the two guide bodies of the guide systems, and a compensation device by which a tilt moment of the carrier, or of the door arranged thereon, about a tilt axis is compensated for by a restoring moment. The compensation device includes a cable pull device and a pivot lever mechanism. The pivot lever mechanism comprises at least two pivot levers connected to one another in an articulated manner and pivotable relative to one another during a movement of the carrier by the two guide systems along the furniture wall.

  • Patent number: 11795748
    Abstract: A control curve arrangement includes a base member having a first control curve, a switch element separate from the base member and having a second control curve, a pressure portion to be displaceably supported along the first control curve and the second control curve, and a spring device for applying a force to the pressure portion. The pressure portion, in the first operating position and in a first movement direction, is displaceable along the second control curve of the switch element. The pressure portion, in the second operating position and in a second movement direction opposite the first movement direction, is displaceable along the first control curve of the base member. A timing element is operative between the base member and the switch element, and the switch element can be transferred from the second operating position into the first operating position by the timing element in a time-delayed manner.

  • Patent number: 11547211
    Abstract: An arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part includes a guide rail to be mounted on the fixed furniture part, a guide device to be coupled to the movable furniture part, and a preferably substantially cylindrical, load-transmitting rolling body. The guide rail has a guide track, on which the load-transmitting rolling body is mounted in a movable manner. The guide track has a parking position for the load-transmitting rolling body, and the parking position corresponds to an end position of the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part. The load-transmitting rolling body and the guide track are designed such that the guide track can be deformed in this region, a depression being formed in the process, and the load-transmitting rolling body is substantially dimensionally stable.

  • Patent number: 11464333
    Abstract: A drawer rail for a drawer pull-out guide, including a first rail configured to be fixed to a drawer, and a second rail configured to be arranged on a carcass rail or on a central rail of a drawer pull-out guide. The first rail and the second rail are configured to be connected to one another by sliding onto each other, and a spring member is arranged on the first or second rail. A protrusion is arranged on the other rail, the position of which on and/or the extension of which along the other rail is chosen such that the protrusion, in a connected condition of the first and second rail, co-operates with the spring member so as to limit transverse movements of the two rails to one another.

  • Patent number: 11304522
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a first guide rail, a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to the first guide rail, and a running carriage which is displaceably supported between the first guide rail and the second guide rail. The running carriage includes at least three rolling bodies, each having a cylindrical form and being rotatable about a horizontally extending axis in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide. The at least three rolling bodies, in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide, are arranged in at least three running planes lying above one another.

  • Patent number: 11272784
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes at least two guide rails displaceably supported relative to one another, and at least one running carriage having load-transmitting rolling bodies. The running carriage is displaceably supported between the at least two guide rails, and the guide rails, upon a movement of the at least one running carriage, adopt a predefined relative position to one another, provided that no malposition of the guide rails to one another is present. A compensation device compensates for a malposition of the guide rails. The compensation device includes an actuating device to be actuated by one of the guide rails, and the actuating device compensates for the malposition upon an actuation. A switching device is provided for switching the actuating device of the compensation device out of engagement with the guide rail if the predefined relative position of the guide rails to another is present.

  • Patent number: 11234516
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide including a first guide rail and a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the guide rails between a closed position and an open position. A guide body is supported between the guide rails, and the guide rails are guidable relative to one another in a lateral direction in a mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide by the guide body. At least one of the guide rails includes a protrusion bearing against the guide body in the open position of the guide rails, so that at least in that region, in which the guide body and the protrusion bear against each other, the guide rails are arranged without clearance relative to one another in the lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 11197546
    Abstract: A securing device includes a furniture fitting configured to be premounted on a front panel; a catch device associated with the drawer and configured to receive the furniture fitting and automatically pull the furniture fitting; a locking device configured to prevent the furniture fitting from unintentionally becoming detached from the securing device; and a coupling device for coupling movement of the locking device to movement of the catch device. The coupling device includes an adjusting body and an adjusting contour in or on which the adjusting body is or can be arranged. The adjusting body is arranged on the catch device, and the adjusting contour on the locking device, or vice versa, and the adjusting contour is configured such that the movement of the locking device is initially uncoupled from the movement of the catch device during insertion of the furniture fitting.
