When the second rail is further moved relative to the first rail along the direction, another one of the plurality of working members is configured to interact with the damping module in order to provide damping effect.

Fluid damper for parts that are movable relative to one another, comprising a piston guided movably in a cylinder
11959327 · 2024-04-16 ·

The invention describes a fluid damper for furniture parts that are movable relative to one another, said fluid damper comprising a piston (4) guided movably in a cylinder (1) along a longitudinal axis. At least one through opening (4.1, 4.2) for fluid flowing through is provided in the piston (4) and/or between the piston (4) and cylinder (1). A sleeve (2) is arranged so as to be radially rotatable, relative to the piston (4) against a spring loading, about the longitudinal axis or about an axis running parallel thereto, which sleeve comprises, on its circumference, a number of wings (2.1, 2.2, 2.1, 2.2) corresponding to the number of through openings (4.1, 4.2). The spring loading is directed such that the wing (2.1, 2.2, 2.1, 2.2) exposes the through opening (4.1, 4.2) when the piston (4) is stationary in the cylinder (1) and in the event of a movement in a movement direction of the piston (4) and of the cylinder (1) relative to one another along the longitudinal axis, and progressively closes said through opening in the event of a movement against the movement direction with increasing relative speed between the piston (4) and cylinder (1) along the longitudinal axis. The fluid damper comprises a hollow-cylindrical part of the piston (4), which surrounds the sleeve (2) and the at least one wing (2.1, 2.2, 2.1, 2.2), which is arranged on the circumference of said sleeve, along at least part of the longitudinal axis thereof.

Slide rail assembly

A slide rail assembly includes a rail, a moving rail, and a damping device. When the moving rail is moved relative to the rail, the damping device is pushed by the moving rail to provide damping effect.

Furniture assembly including a safety device

A furniture assembly includes a first furniture piece, a second furniture piece, and a safety device. The second furniture piece is movable with respect to the first furniture piece. The safety device includes a first fitting and a second fitting. One of the first fitting and the second fitting is detachably coupled to one of the first furniture piece and the second furniture piece, and the other one of the first fitting and the second fitting is located in the other one of the first furniture piece and the second furniture piece. When the second fitting is at the stop position, the second fitting blocks the first fitting, thereby stopping the second furniture piece from moving in a direction with respect to the first furniture piece.

Guide device for guiding a furniture pull-out that is moveable relative to a furniture body
10321759 · 2019-06-18 · ·

A guide device for guiding a furniture pull-out moveable relative to a furniture body comprises: at least one guide unit having a body rail that can be fastened to the furniture body and at least one running rail that is displaceably mounted relative to the body rail; and a functional device comprising at least a first functional element that can be fastened to the moveable furniture pull-out, at least one body-sided second functional element, both functional elements being guided on one another during the retraction movement and/or the extension movement of the furniture pull-out, and a catch device having a bearing mechanism by which the first or second functional element can be moveably hung and having a control surface formed on the first and/or second functional element by which the moveable first functional element can be captured to subsequently guide on the second functional element.
