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.

A guide device for a moveable furniture part, in particular a drawer, has a catch which is moveable along a guide track and which is pretensioned by an energy store and which is moveable at least between a parked position with a tensioned energy store and an end position with a less tensioned energy store. The energy store can be coupled to an activator between the parked position and the end position in order to transmit a braking or acceleration force to the moveable furniture part, and wherein the activator has a metal support part.

A closing device includes a rack body having an elongated rack and being slidably coupled to a base, with a catch pivotally coupled to the rack body and a gear pivotally coupled to the base and engaging the elongated rack. A first biasing member is coupled to the base and rack body and provides a substantially linear biasing force. A second biasing member is coupled to the base and gear, and the elongated rack and gear engagement provides a mechanical advantage and a non-linear biasing force. The closing device is for use in a drawer slide having a latch coupled to a first drawer slide member and the base coupled to a second drawer slide member, with the latch releasably coupled to the catch to move the drawer slide to a closed position.

A retraction device includes a housing and a driving element guided in the housing between a parked position and an end position. A first end of a spring energy accumulator is connected to the housing. The spring energy accumulator is loaded to a maximum operating value when the driving element is in the parked position and is unloaded to a residual energy value when the driving element is in the end position. A second end of the spring energy accumulator can either be fixed to the housing or coupled to the driving element by means of a bistable coupling. The coupling has a blocking element that can be moved between the housing and the driving element.
