The invention relates to a multi-link hinge for furniture, with a fastening element which can be secured indirectly or directly to a furniture body and is connected to a pivotable door bearing via a plurality of link levers connected to one another in a scissors-like manner, wherein a linear damper which damps both a closing movement and an opening movement of the door bearing is provided. The multi-link hinge is distinguished in that the linear damper is ineffective in a central portion of the pivoting range of the door bearing.

A fold-out table for a truck bed is disclosed. The fold-out table includes a tabletop configured to extend longitudinally along an inner sidewall of the truck bed. The fold-out table further includes one or more hinges disposed below an upper rim of the inner sidewall of the truck bed. The hinges are configured to couple the tabletop to the inner sidewall of the truck bed so that the tabletop is pivotable between a raised position and a lowered position. The tabletop may be substantially perpendicular to the inner sidewall of the truck bed when the tabletop is in the raised position and substantially parallel to the inner sidewall of the truck bed when the tabletop is in the lowered position.

A damping hinge for damping a hinge rotational movement about a hinge rotational axis comprises a housing extending along the hinge rotational axis, the housing comprising a first housing part, a second hosing part, which is rotatable relative to the first housing part about the hinge rotational axis, and a piston arranged in the working chamber such as to be displaceable along the hinge rotational axis, a piston rod for displacing the piston, and an adjustment device for adjusting a damping effect of the damping hinge, the adjustment device having a plurality of discrete adjustment stages each providing a different damping effect.

A closing device for a furniture part having a carrier connected to the movable furniture part or the body part, and a closing lever which is impinged upon by a closing spring, the closing lever having a guide track for the carrier and being pivotable by the carrier when the movable furniture part is opened between a hold-closed position and a standby position, in which the carrier uncouples from the closing lever or which is stationary with respect to the movable furniture part for the carrier connected to the body part. A closing force is exerted by the closing lever onto the carrier as of a use position assumed by the carrier in the guide track. The distance of the carrier in the use position from the lever pivoting axis of the is at least 1.5 times the distance of the carrier in the closed position from the pivoting axis.
