A hinge having a hinge cup, an articulation mechanism and a hinge arm, wherein the hinge cup is connected to the hinge arm in a pivotable manner via the articulation mechanism. The articulation mechanism includes first and second articulated levers attached to the hinge cup and to the hinge arm. The first articulated lever has a first end connected to the hinge cup in a pivotable manner via a first bearing element and has a second end connected to the hinge arm in a pivotable manner via a second bearing element. The second articulated lever has a first end connected to the hinge cup in a pivotable manner via a fourth bearing element and has a second element connected to the hinge arm in a pivotable manner via a third bearing element.

Hinge for connecting a movable furniture part in a movable manner to a basic furniture structure

A device for damping movement, in particular, of a movable furniture part, having a bearing housing, is proposed. According to the invention, a movement absorber is mounted so as to be movable on the bearing housing and a rotary element is mounted so as to be rotatable, comprising gearbox means by way of which a movement of the movement absorber is convertible to a rotary movement of the rotary element, wherein the bearing housing has a chamber into which at least a plunger portion of the rotary element reaches, wherein a damping fluid is present in the chamber.

Device for damping movement

Damping device for moveable furniture parts. A longitudinally displaceable piston on opposing sides forms two variable size working chambers filled with a damping medium via at least one overflow connection. A piston rod led out of the housing is connected to one side of the piston. An adjustment shaft is connected to one side of the piston opposite one of the working chambers, its free end is also led out of the housing. A throttle disc radially protrudes from the circumferential surface of the adjustment shaft. The throttle disc being disposed in a region of an end of a piston passage bore connecting the two working chambers and configuring the overflow connection abutting a front surface of the piston. Recesses in the throttle disc offset from each other circumferentially have different cross-sections. The recesses may be selectively aligned by rotating the adjustment shaft relative to the passage bore.

Damping device with multistage variable damping characteristics, particularly for damping moveable furniture parts

Damping device for damping motion of movable furniture parts. A piston mounted in housing in longitudinally displaceable manner which, due lo displacement, forms two variable-size working chambers on opposite sides with damping medium. Via overflow-connection, throttled transfer of damping medium is possible between two working chambers. Piston plunger, fed selectively, is connected on one side of pislon. Via the outer end of piston plunger, the motion of the furniture part to be damped is transferred to the piston. On side of piston, an elongated adjustment shaft is connected to the piston plunger. Free end of plunger is fed in sealed manner out of front face lying opposite front face that is sealed on the piston plunger side. The end of adjustment shaft engages with a passage duct connecting two working chambers and forms a variable-sized throttle cross section in the passage duct, making adjusting motion of shaft relative to piston.
