  • Patent number: 10927577
    Abstract: A device for moving a furniture part held on a furniture body of an item of furniture having a guide with at least one pivot arm for pivoting the furniture part from a closed position into an open position relative to the furniture body and back with a base unit with an anchor plate. The device includes a positioning mechanism with a positioning portion formed in an intermediate region between the at least one pivot arm and the base unit. During a pivoting movement of the pivot arm, the positioning portion contacts an abutment surface on the pivot arm and/or on the base unit. Fine positioning of the pivot arm in an axial direction relative to its pivot axis is configurable by contact of the positioning portion with the abutment surface if the pivot arm has an axial offset with respect to a setpoint bearing position of the pivot arm.
