FURNITURE DRIVE
A furniture drive includes a carrier configured to be fixed to or within a furniture panel of a furniture carcass, an actuating arm assembly arranged on the carrier, a spring device for applying a force to the actuating arm assembly, an adjustment device for adjusting a force of the spring device to the actuating arm assembly, and a threaded section having a longitudinal direction. An engagement location of the spring device is adjustable along the threaded section by a rotation of an adjustment element about a rotational axis, and the rotational axis of the adjustment element and the longitudinal direction of the threaded section enclose an angle to one another. The angle formed by the rotational axis of the adjustment element and the longitudinal direction of the threaded section is configured to be varied upon a movement of the actuating arm.
FURNITURE DRIVE
A furniture drive can move a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The furniture drive includes a housing configured to be at least partially received within a recess of a furniture panel of the furniture carcass in a mounted condition, and an actuating arm arrangement for moving the movable furniture part. A cover is provided on the housing of the furniture drive, and the cover has at least one laterally protruding, substantially ring-shaped flange.

FURNITURE HINGE
The invention relates to a furniture hinge (10) with a hinge arm (20) and a fastening portion (30), wherein the hinge arm (20) and the fastening portion (30) are pivotably connected to one another via a multi-axis articulated connection (40), and wherein a damping element (60), which damps in a deflection direction, for damping the movement of the hinge arm (20) and a spring (76) for adjusting the hinge arm (20) with respect to the fastening portion (30) are provided. It is provided here that the damping element (60) is mounted in such a way that, during a folding movement of the hinge arm (20) from a first end position into a second end position, a maximum or a minimum deflection of the damping element (60) is carried out within an adjusting movement of the damping element (60) caused by said folding movement. As a result, a furniture hinge which can be produced cost-effectively and which allows damped opening and closing of the hinge arm is provided.
SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR STORING MATERIAL
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing that is a rectangular prism having five substantially flat sides and an open side that is open to a cavity formed by the housing, an intermediate member disposed in the housing and dividing the cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, a member that is movably attached to the housing via at least one movable connector, the member movable about the at least one movable connector between an open position allowing access to the second cavity and a closed position covering the second cavity, a support assembly disposed in the second cavity and attaching the member to the housing, and a fastener assembly attached to the member and selectively locking the member to the intermediate member when the member is in the closed position.
Flap fitting for a piece of furniture, side wall of a body of a piece of furniture and piece of furniture comprising a side wall
A flap fitting for a piece of furniture includes a compound lever with a number of levers for guiding a wing of the piece of furniture, and a damping unit including at least one damper for damping the wing as it approaches a closed end position. The damping unit is arranged inside a housing of the wing fitting and includes an abutment against which one of the levers of the compound lever presses in order to damp the movement of the wing.

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.
