Abstract: A locking device for movable furniture parts has a guide rail with displaceable blocking elements, a plurality of latches that can be coupled to a movable furniture part, and, in a locking position, block an opening of the movable furniture part. The blocking elements are movable into a locking position in which all the latches are blocked by the blocking elements from a movement into an unlocking position, and the blocking elements are displaceable along the guide rail in an anti-tipping position via one of the latches, from the locking position into the unlocking position. When one of the latches is positioned in the unlocking position, the movement of all further latches into the unlocking position is blocked, so that only one of the movable furniture parts is moveable into an opening position.

Abstract: A locking device for movable furniture parts comprises a guide rail with a plurality of blocking elements that is held displaceably along the guide rail, wherein each blocking element comprises a run-up-slope which can be contacted by an activator attached to a movable furniture part, and each locking element has a wall which can form a stop for the activator in order to lock the movable furniture part with the activator in a closed position. The guide rail moves between an anti-tipping position, in which all activators are arranged adjacent to a run-up slope on different blocking elements, and a blocking position, in which all activators arranged in the closed position are arranged adjacent to a wall on different blocking elements. In the anti-tipping position the guide rail is displaceable into the blocking position and is held in the blocking position via a holding device.

Abstract: A self-retracting and damping device for a drawer element, having a first driver, which has a first driver fork for the engagement of an external activator and is guided in a displaceable manner in a first guide curve, and having a second driver, which is guided in a displaceable manner in a second guide curve. One of the drivers is coupled to a damping element and the other driver is coupled to an energy store. The two drivers are coupled to one another in part. The first driver is coupled to the energy store and the second driver is coupled to the damping element. In a first part of a retracting movement, the energy store and the damping element act on the external activator and, in a second part of the retracting movement, only the energy store acts on the external activator.

Abstract: A piece of furniture comprises several sliding elements arranged above one another. Each sliding element is arranged behind a swivellable flap and may be pulled out of a furniture cabinet only when the flap is open. The sliding elements are associated with a blocking rail that is arranged on the furniture cabinet. The blocking rail may be moved by way of a lock between an unlocked and a locked position. The blocking rail is coupled with locking elements, by means of which flaps may be locked. As a result, a protection against tilting and a locking of the flaps can be implemented by way of the blocking rail.

Abstract: An article of furniture has a series of superimposed drawers. An arresting mechanism for the drawers includes an activating device secured to a side wall of the article of furniture adjacent to each drawer. Each activating device comprises a carrier which is affixed to the side wall and supports an entraining element. The entraining elements are rotatable and also shiftable horizontally in the direction of movement of the drawers. Each entraining element defines a gap and each drawer carries an operating pin which is received in the corresponding gap when the drawer is closed. An entraining peg is provided on each entraining element.The activating devices have aligned passages which receive a vertically movable strip extending by all of the drawers. The strip has an angular groove adjacent to each drawer consisting of a vertical portion and an inclined portion, and each entraining peg projects into a respective groove.
