FURNITURE DRIVE
A furniture drive including a housing to be arranged on a furniture panel, and an actuating arm assembly for moving the movable furniture part, and the actuating arm assembly includes an actuating arm movably-supported relative to the housing to be fixed to the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly is movable between a first relative position and a second relative position, and includes actuating arms pivotable relative to one another. A pivotal movement of the actuating arm assembly from the second relative position toward the first relative position can be blocked by a releasable blocking device including a movably supported blocking element movable between a blocking position and an unblocking position. A blocking element of the blocking device is supported on one of the actuating arms and includes an abutment bearing against a counter-abutment of the other of the actuating arms in the blocking position.
FURNITURE DRIVE FOR MOVING A FURNITURE PART THAT IS MOUNTED MOVABLY RELATIVE TO A FURNITURE BODY
A furniture drive for moving a furniture part includes a housing to be located on or in a furniture panel, and an actuating arm mounted movably relative to the housing and on which the movable furniture part can be fastened, and the housing has an end face through which the actuating arm protrudes in a relative position. A spring device can exert a force onto the actuating arm, an adjusting device can adjust the force that can be exerted onto the actuating arm by the spring device, and a display device can display the force adjustment carried out by the adjusting device. The display device is formed separately from the adjusting device and can be read in an installed position of the furniture drive, in which position the housing is located completely, except for the end face, in the furniture panel of the furniture body.
Drive assembly for driving a vehicle flap
A drive assembly, in particular for driving a flap (5), includes a hinge assembly (2), comprising a first hinge part (3) connectable to a vehicle body and a second hinge part (4) connectable to a vehicle flap (5), a joint assembly (7) comprising at least a first joint part (8) hingedly connecting said first hinge part (3) with said second hinge part (4) and a first actuator (10) for driving the second hinge part (4) to move between an opened and a closed position during a normal operation. The first actuator (10) has a first end (10a) coupleable to a vehicle body pivotally about a first pivot axis (P1) and a second end (10b). The drive assembly also includes a bearing element connected (16) to the first actuator (10) and a coupling assembly (14) for coupling the first actuator (10) to the hinge assembly (2), comprising a first coupling part (15) having a first end (15a) and a second end (15b). The first end (15a) of the first coupling part (15) is coupled to one of the second hinge part (4) and first joint part (8) pivotally about a second pivot axis (P2). The bearing element (16) of the first actuator (10) is coupled to the second end (15b) of the first coupling part (15) pivotally about a third pivot axis (P3) spaced apart from the second pivot axis (P2). The drive assembly provides a possibility to move a vehicle flap drivingly between a closed and an opened position and further provides a reliable pedestrian protection function.
Furniture drive
A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably-supported relative to a furniture carcass includes a carrier configured to be fixed within or to a sidewall of the furniture carcass, and the carrier has a front face and a longitudinal side protruding substantially at a right angle from the front face. A pivotally supported actuating arm is provided for moving the movable furniture part, and fastening device can fasten a furniture panel of the furniture carcass. The furniture panel extends substantially horizontally in a mounted position, and a fastening device includes a movably-supported locking element for fastening the furniture panel. The locking element is configured to be accessible for a manual or for a tool-assisted actuation from a longitudinal side of the carrier, and the longitudinal side of the carrier faces towards the outside.
Connector and furniture part
A connector by way of which two frame elements of a frame of a furniture part can be connected, wherein the connector includes a corner-connecting mechanism for connecting respective end portions of the two frame elements in a corner region of the furniture-part frame. An attachment portion for attachment to a pivoting device is integrated on the corner-connecting mechanism, wherein the furniture part can be accommodated on a basic structure of a piece of furniture such that it can be pivoted by means of the pivoting device.
Method for pivotably attaching a furniture lid to a furniture body by means of a lid fitting
Furniture including a furniture body with an opening, a furniture lid for closing the opening and defining a lid plane, and a lid fitting including: a base element fixed to a side wall of the furniture body, a pivot arm pivotally attached to the base element, a pivot-arm-side connecting element pivotably connected to the pivot arm, a lid-side connecting element which has a mounting surface arranged parallel to the lid plane and which can be mounted on the pivot-arm-side connecting element by movement relative to the pivot-arm-side connecting element in an assembly direction parallel to the mounting surface, a ramp surface on one of the two connecting elements, which is arranged at an angle to the mounting surface, and a sliding element which is arranged on the other of the two connecting elements and slides along the ramp surface when the lid-side connecting element is moved in the assembly direction.

Furniture including a furniture body with an opening, a furniture lid for closing the opening and defining a lid plane, and a lid fitting including: a base element fixed to a side wall of the furniture body, a pivot arm pivotally attached to the base element, a pivot-arm-side connecting element pivotably connected to the pivot arm, a lid-side connecting element which has a mounting surface arranged parallel to the lid plane and which can be mounted on the pivot-arm-side connecting element by movement relative to the pivot-arm-side connecting element in an assembly direction parallel to the mounting surface, a ramp surface on one of the two connecting elements, which is arranged at an angle to the mounting surface, and a sliding element which is arranged on the other of the two connecting elements and slides along the ramp surface when the lid-side connecting element is moved in the assembly direction.
FURNITURE DRIVE
A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably-supported relative to a furniture carcass includes a housing to be arranged on or within a furniture panel of the furniture carcass, and an actuating arm assembly for moving the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly includes an actuating arm movably-supported relative to the housing, and the actuating arm is to be fixed to the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly is movable at least between a first relative position, in which the actuating arm is arranged within the housing, and a second relative position, in which the actuating arm is arranged outside the housing. An actuating device is releasably connected or to be connected to the actuating arm, and is configured to move the actuating arm assembly from the first relative position into the second relative position.
FURNITURE FITTING
A furniture fitting for movably supporting a furniture part on a furniture carcass, includes a first component and a second component. The two components are connected to each other via at least one pivot bearing having a bearing axis, and the first component includes a first wall. The at least one pivot bearing includes at least one capillary disc having a second wall, and the second wall is spaced from the first wall of the first component by a, preferably annular, gap having a gap width. The gap width at least partially decreases radially in a direction of the bearing axis, so that a lubricant filled into the gap can be transferred radially in a direction towards the bearing axis and/or along the bearing axis by a capillary force.
POWER ACCESS DOOR ASSEMBLY
A power access door assembly for use with a worksurface includes a frame configured to be received within an opening of the worksurface, a hinge coupled to the frame, and a door coupled to the hinge for movement relative to the frame. The door is movable relative to the frame between a first position, in which the door is positioned within a perimeter of the frame and substantially blocks access to the opening, a second position, in which the door is pivoted open relative to the frame, and a third position, in which the door is moved outside the perimeter of the frame.
