A driving device is a driving device driving a door that includes an upper door and a lower door rotatably connected to the upper door, and the driving device includes: at least one cable including a first section and a second section that are each laid over from the upper door to the lower door; and a driving portion for increasing a degree of folding of the lower door with respect to the upper door by unwinding the first section, and for suppressing a movement of the lower door with respect to the upper door by winding the second section. This driving device can reduce interference of a lower door with an object around the door.

An electric motor-powered furniture drive includes an electric motor; an interface via which the electric motor-powered furniture drive can be connected, preferably detachably connected, to a mechanical actuator; and an identification device for automatically identifying a configuration of the mechanical actuator. Regions of the identification device are located on the interface of the electric motor-powered furniture drive so that the configuration of the mechanical actuator can be identified when the electric motor-powered furniture drive is connected to the mechanical actuator.

A folding wall partition includes foldable panel assemblies. Each panel assembly includes an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper and lower panels extend substantially in a common vertical plane when in a deployed position, and extend laterally outwardly of the common vertical plane in a stacked relationship when in a stored position. A moving mechanism engages the panel assemblies to displace them between the stored and deployed positions. A cover assembly has cover panels. The cover panels extend in a first common horizontal plane when in the deployed position and are substantially coplanar with the ceiling to conceal a cavity. The cover panels extend in a second common horizontal plane higher than the first common horizontal plane and within the cavity when the cover panels are in the stored position.
