A construction panel for a side of an item of furniture of a furniture body includes a plate-shaped central part having a first front surface and other front surfaces, and a cut-out arranged in the central part. The cut-out extends at least along one section of the first front surface of the construction panel and is used to accommodate a stop that guides a moveable furniture part. The construction panel includes, in the region of at least one of the additional front surfaces, at least one machinable section that is outside of the cut-out.

A furniture fitting includes a mounting device for releasably fastening the furniture fitting to one of two furniture parts, an actuating device which can be connected to the other of the two furniture parts and which is mounted so as to be movable relative to the mounting device, an energy accumulator which has a spring element formed from a wire, an the spring element is designed as a coil spring, and a force transmission mechanism by which energy which can be deposited in the energy accumulator can be transmitted to the actuating device. The wire has, in a cross-section normal to a longitudinal axis of the at least one wire, an outer contour which deviates from a circular shape.

A furniture drive includes a main part and an actuator arm rotatably mounted on the main part about a first rotational axis. The actuator arm has multiple levers, and a securing interface arranged on an imaginary securing interface plane and via which the furniture front part can be secured to the actuator arm. The actuator arm can be moved continuously with respect to the first rotational axis between a first rotational position, which corresponds to a closed position of the furniture front part that can be secured to the actuator arm and which can be assigned a rotational angle α of 0°, and a second rotational position, which corresponds to a maximum open position of the furniture front part that can be secured to the actuator arm and which can be assigned a rotational angle α greater than 0° .

A lifting apparatus (100) includes a connector assembly (110) with a first connecting member (120), a second connecting member (130) and a connecting link (140), the first and second connecting members (120, 130) configured to be pivot-mounted at first ends (122, 132) to a first stationary component (200), and a pneumatic supporting member (150) is coupled to the first and second connecting members (120, 130) via the connecting link (140). The connector assembly (110) and the pneumatic supporting member (150) are configured to perform a lifting motion, wherein, when performing the lifting motion, the first and second connecting members (120, 130) transition from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and the pneumatic supporting member (150) transitions from an extended position (EP) to a compressed position (CP).

A hinge assembly for receiving a door, for example for an aircraft storage bin, and including a wall having opposed inner and outer surfaces, an edge of the wall including two spaced apart wall panels extending from a respective one of the inner and outer surfaces and defining part of a perimeter of an opening closable by the door; a pivot located between the wall panels, the pivot defining a pivot axis intersecting the wall panels; and a hinge arm having a portion received between the wall panels and engaged to the pivot, the hinge arm extending away from the wall panels and configured for attachment to the door, the hinge arm pivotable about the pivot axis to be movable between open and closed positions of the door, the hinge arm movable between the open and closed position within a plane extending between the opposed inner and outer surfaces.

A port-door release assembly includes a door and a linkage coupled to the door to support the door during movement between open and closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a drive shaft coupled to the linkage to drive movement of the linkage. The port-door release assembly includes a motor configured to rotate the drive shaft which moves the linkage and the door to the open and/or closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a back-up release assembly movable relative to the linkage to disconnect the drive shaft from the linkage which allows the door to move to the open position without actuation of the motor. A door assembly includes the port-door release assembly as described above and a housing defining a port in which the door is movable relative to the housing between the open position that uncovers the port and the closed position that covers the port.

A furniture fitting for moving a movable furniture part relative to a furniture carcass includes a housing to be connected to the furniture carcass, and an actuating mechanism arranged or can be arranged at least in part within the housing. The actuating mechanism can be connected to the movable furniture part, and the actuating mechanism can swivel about at least one rotation axis. The actuating mechanism and/or at least one inner side of the housing facing the actuating mechanism has a local elevation, by which, at least in a relative position of the actuating mechanism to the housing, a play between the actuating mechanism and the inner side of the housing facing the actuating mechanism is at least halved in comparison to a region surrounding the local elevation.

A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body includes a drive unit to be mounted on or in the furniture body, and at least one movably mounted actuating part for moving the movable furniture part. A mounting stop that can be applied to the furniture body is provided on the drive unit.
