  • Publication number: 20230030015
    Abstract: A furniture fitting for movably supporting a furniture part on a furniture carcass, includes a first component and a second component. The two components are connected to each other via at least one pivot bearing having a bearing axis, and the first component includes a first wall. The at least one pivot bearing includes at least one capillary disc having a second wall, and the second wall is spaced from the first wall of the first component by a, preferably annular, gap having a gap width. The gap width at least partially decreases radially in a direction of the bearing axis, so that a lubricant filled into the gap can be transferred radially in a direction towards the bearing axis and/or along the bearing axis by a capillary force.

  • Patent number: 9642462
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a basic-structure rail, which can be fastened on a basic furniture structure, and at least one pull-out rail, which is mounted such that it can be displaced relative to the basic-structure rail between an open position and a closed position. At least one lifting device is provided, by which the pull-out rail can be raised relative to the basic-structure rail towards the end of the closing movement. The lifting device has at least a two-part design, including a raising device, for raising the pull-out rail, and a bearing device, for supporting the pull-out rail in the closed position, and the raising device, in the closed position of the pull-out rail, is relieved of the loading of the pull-out rail.

  • Patent number: 9204722
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide includes a body rail which can be mounted on a furniture body via a fastening section, and a drawer rail which can be fastened on a drawer and is mounted movably relative to the body rail. The drawer rail has a side web facing the fastening section. A central rail is mounted movably between the body rail and the drawer rail, and a bearing with at least one supporting roller via which the drawer rail is supported in the closed state is on the body rail. The bearing is arranged at a front end region of the central rail or of the drawer rail so as to be non-displaceable during operation in the longitudinal direction of the rail on which the bearing is arranged. The side web of the drawer rail is arranged between the supporting roller and the fastening section of the body rail.
