An assembly line (40) includes a transport system having pallets (70), a riveting machine (100) with a stop device (1005) and a riveting device (1010), and a crushing head (1011). The stop device (1005) and the riveting device (1010) flank the pallet (70) on opposite sides, while a stop (1006) of the stop device (1005) and the crushing head (1011) are translatable to approach the article from opposite sides during assembly.

A hinge for a furniture door includes a first hinge part is formed with a cassette-shaped housing for integration into a furniture panel, and a second hinge part is designed in the form of a hinge pot to be attached to the furniture door. The two hinge parts are pivotably connected to one another via a lever mechanism. The housing of the first hinge part is widened in a front region, in which an opening for the lever mechanism is situated, in relation to a rear region. In a closed position of the hinge, at least part of the lever mechanism occupies a space in the front widened region.

A furniture apparatus including a frame, a movable facade configured to transition between an open state and a closed state; and a hidden container configured to rest on a set of support ledges attached to one or more of the frame and an unhidden container optionally associated with the furniture apparatus such that the hidden container is configured to be visible when the movable facade is in the open state, and the hidden container is configured to be hidden from view when the hidden container is installed in the furniture apparatus and the movable facade is in the closed state.

A supporting device for a furniture flap can be connected to a furniture body and a furniture flap in an articulated manner. The supporting device has a first supporting arm and a second supporting arm, and the first and the second supporting arms overlap without a gap laterally with respect to the direction of motion of the supporting device in each position of the supporting device. The first supporting arm and the second supporting arm are profiled in the cross-section and are nested in each other.

A hinge for pieces of furniture with deceleration device, comprising a fixed part which is adapted to be connected to the body of a piece of furniture, a moveable part which is adapted to be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the movable part being mutually articulated by way of at least one connecting oscillating rocker, a decelerator being further provided; the decelerator comprises elements for at least partial deactivation of deceleration, which are adapted to uncouple the rocker from the decelerator.

An article of furniture, comprising a furniture carcass, includes a two-part furniture flap having a first flap part, and a second flap part, and at least one support device for the two-part furniture flap. The at least one support device is connected to the furniture carcass and the two-part furniture flap in an articulated manner. The at least one support device has a transmission portion, which is on an inside of the first flap part and defines a setting angle of the second flap part to the first flap part according to a setting angle of the first flap part.

A furniture hinge mounted between a furniture wall and a furniture door so as to be used as an opening and closing mechanism of the furniture door, in which, by using the movement part provided on the body part of the furniture hinge and the adjustment part provided at the movement path of the movement part, the entire length of the furniture hinge is changed by advancing and returning the movement part in the opening and closing process of the furniture door such that, since the furniture wall and the furniture door do not come into contact with each other even though the furniture door is completely opened, the peeling damage to the exterior of the furniture is prevented and contact noise is eliminated, thereby improving the satisfaction of consumers.
