  • Patent number: 12644325
    Abstract: A furniture drive includes a carrier and an actuating arm assembly arranged on the carrier and including a movably-supported actuating arm. The furniture drive also includes a spring device for applying a force to the actuating arm assembly, the spring device being connected to the actuating arm assembly via an engagement location, a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force of the spring device to the actuating arm assembly, and an adjustment device including a rotatably-supported adjustment element. A relative position of the engagement location can be adjusted by a rotation of the adjustment element. The furniture drive further includes an overload safety device configured to couple the adjustment element with the transmission mechanism upon rotation of the adjustment element with torque below a predetermined torque, and to decouple the adjustment element from the transmission mechanism upon rotation of the adjustment element with torque above the predetermined torque.

  • Patent number: 12378807
    Abstract: A furniture fitting includes a lever mechanism for moving a furniture part, the lever mechanism including a lever pivotally supported about a hinge axis, and the lever has a cylindrical opening in which the hinge axis is arranged with a clearance. A force storage member is configured to apply a force to the lever mechanism. The hinge axis, upon a pivoting movement of the lever, is movable from a first bearing location within the opening to a second bearing location within the opening under the influence of the force storage member. A spring element pressurizes the hinge axis with a force in a direction extending transversely to a virtual line connecting the two bearing locations of the hinge axis within the opening of the lever.

  • Patent number: 12158034
    Abstract: A furniture drive for moving a furniture part includes a housing to be located on or in a furniture panel, and an actuating arm mounted movably relative to the housing and on which the movable furniture part can be fastened, and the housing has an end face through which the actuating arm protrudes in a relative position. A spring can exert a force onto the actuating arm, an adjustment bar can adjust the force that can be exerted onto the actuating arm by the spring, and a display can display the force adjustment carried out by the adjustment bar. The display is formed separately from the adjustment bar and can be read in an installed position of the furniture drive, in which position the housing is located completely, except for the end face, in the furniture panel of the furniture body.

  • Publication number: 20240058028
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising an ultrasound transducer configured for emitting ultrasound is provided. The ultrasound transducer comprises a hollow piezoelectric transducer body having a longitudinal axis and a radially inner surface, a tubular backing support member extending longitudinally through the piezoelectric transducer body and having a radially outer surface, a chamber defined between the radially inner surface of the piezoelectric transducer body and the radially outer surface of the tubular backing support member and between a first end and an opposite second end in an axial direction, wherein said ends are each formed by a conductive part and a gas-tight sealing layer of metal solder material in contact with the surface of the conductive part, which is opposite to the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230272648
    Abstract: A furniture fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture part, in particular a furniture flap, on a furniture panel, includes a main body, a rotary lever, and a bearing pin. The bearing pin is connected to the main body and/or to at least one base lever, and the rotary lever has a hole and the bearing pin projects through the hole. The rotary lever has, in at least one region surrounding the hole, a widened portion which extends at least in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bearing pin.

  • Publication number: 20230265699
    Abstract: A furniture fitting includes a lever mechanism for moving a furniture part, the lever mechanism including a lever pivotally supported about a hinge axis, and the lever has a, in particular cylindrical, opening in which the hinge axis is arranged with a clearance. A force storage member, preferably including a spring device, is provided for applying a force to the lever mechanism. The hinge axis, upon a pivoting movement of the lever, is movable from a first bearing location within the opening to a second bearing location within the opening under the influence of the force storage member. A spring element pressurizes the hinge axis with a force at least in a direction extending transversely to a notional connecting line of the two bearing locations of the hinge axis within the opening of the lever.
