The invention relates to a furniture hinge for the articulated fastening of a furniture door, flap or the like to a furniture carcass, with a hinge body with a hinge cup and a hinge arm which is pivotably connected to the hinge cup and which can be fastened to one of the furniture parts, and with a mounting body which can be fastened to the other furniture part, with a linear damper for damping at least the closing movement of the furniture hinge, and with a blocking element which can be set in at least two switching positions and by means of which the linear damper is blocked in a blocking switching position in its inserted position and is released in a damping switching position, wherein, in the blocking switching position, a blocking bolt which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation of the blocking element is pivoted into the actuating region of the linear damper or of a component connected to the linear damper and is pivoted out of the actuating region in the damping switching position. Here, there is provision that the axis of rotation of the blocking element is oriented in the direction of movement of the linear damper. The furniture hinge allows a secure setting of the damping action of the linear damper of the furniture hinge.

The invention relates to a furniture connecting fitting (10) having an attachment section (51, 53) for coupling to a cabinet body (110), wherein a kinematic arrangement (30) is coupled indirectly or directly to the attachment section (51, 53), wherein an assembly piece (80) is provided, which assembly piece has a fitting end (81) facing the attachment section (51, 53) and a furniture attachment end (81.3) facing away from the fitting end (81), wherein the attachment section (51, 53) has at least one locating element (55) which, in an assembly position, interacts with a mating element (85) of the assembly piece (80) to form a connection, which acts transversely to the furniture attachment end (81.3) in a form-fitting and detachable manner, wherein an actuating element (60) is provided, which can be moved between a release position and a blocking position, and wherein the actuating element (60) rests against a supporting section (52) to secure the assembly position in the blocking position. Such a furniture connecting fitting can be easily connected to and installed on a cabinet body even in a compact design

A smart delivery box and method for securing the delivery of packages. The method involves (a) ascertaining when a delivery vehicle has entered a geo-location associated with a delivery address of a package, (b) transmitting a delivery signal to a cloud computing service when the delivery vehicle is ascertained as entering the geo-location associated with the delivery address of the package, and configuring a door of a delivery box, located at the delivery address, to open for the delivery and receipt of the package, in response to an open command generated by the cloud computing service in reply to the delivery signal transmitted when the delivery vehicle entered the geo-location.

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.

The invention relates to a furniture hinge for the articulated fastening of a furniture door, flap or the like to a furniture carcass, with a hinge body with a hinge cup and a hinge arm which is pivotably connected to the hinge cup and which can be fastened to one of the furniture parts, and with a mounting body which can be fastened to the other furniture part, with a linear damper for damping at least the closing movement of the furniture hinge, and with a blocking element which can be set in at least two switching positions and by means of which the linear damper is blocked in a blocking switching position in its inserted position and is released in a damping switching position, wherein, in the blocking switching position, a blocking bolt which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation of the blocking element is pivoted into the actuating region of the linear damper or of a component connected to the linear damper and is pivoted out of the actuating region in the damping switching position. Here, there is provision that the axis of rotation of the blocking element is oriented in the direction of movement of the linear damper. The furniture hinge allows a secure setting of the damping action of the linear damper of the furniture hinge.

A device for moving a furniture part on an item of furniture, including a guide configured as an articulated lever releasably disposed on an assembly member of the device, which is assembled on the furniture part. The guide includes a securing member movably disposed on the articulated lever and capable of being positioned relative to the articulated lever. In a first position of the securing member a pivoting range of the guide is delimited by the securing member such that the guide in a closing movement is not capable of being moved from the opened position to the closed position. In a second position of the securing member the pivoting range of the guide is released such that the guide, in the closing movement from the opened position, reaches the closed position.

A smart window/door opening-closing device that can easily be installed for use with an existing door or window or can be built-in by the door or window manufacturer, can be programmed to activate the opening or closing of the door or window either (a) remotely, (b) automatically by a pet, (c) automatically by a voice command and/or (d) automatic in response to external sensors, is easily disengaged when use is not desired, provides safety and security to prevent unwanted opening or closing of the door or window, and is integrated with a wireless communication network to enable smart and remote control of the window/door actuator.
