  • Patent number: 11053721
    Abstract: A drive device for a movable furniture part includes an ejection force accumulator which can be tensioned, and an ejection element mechanically loaded by the ejection force accumulator and used to carry out an ejection movement of the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position. The ejection movement can be initiated by a compression movement of the movable furniture part into a compression position which is behind the closed position. The drive device also comprises a tensioning device for tensioning the ejection force accumulator with energy which can be emitted by the ejection movement. During the compression movement, at least 50% of the energy emitted by the ejection force accumulator during the ejection movement can be introduced into the ejection force accumulator by the tensioning device.

  • Patent number: 10111524
    Abstract: A furniture fitting includes a slide which is moveable linearly in relation to a housing and has a first slide part with an internal thread and a second slide part with an external thread interacting with the internal thread. The length of the slide is adjustable by rotation of the external thread relative to the internal thread, and a securing element prevents the external thread from unscrewing completely from the internal thread.

  • Patent number: 6266848
    Abstract: A hinge with adjusting devices has a hinge arm with a U-profile that can be secured to a base plate by an intermediate piece, and is connected to a hinge cup by articulated hinge links. The base plate has a mounting plane for abutting a furniture side wall in a mounted position. The position of the hinge arm is adjustable with respect to the base plate in a plane perpendicular to the mounting plane by means of an adjustment screw. Guides are provided for guiding the hinge arm in a direction of the depth of a piece of furniture when the position of the hinge arm is adjusted the adjustment screw. Two intermediate pieces are connected to the hinge arm before the hinge arm is mounted on the base plate. One intermediate piece is fixable to base plate by a spring locking mechanism, ad the other piece is slidably mounted on the first intermediate piece for slidable displacement in the direction of the depth of the piece of furniture.
