A piece of furniture and a device for locking a first furniture part in a closing position in relation to a second furniture part, wherein the lock can be overridden using a triggering process. Releasing means are provided that are operable to unlock the first furniture part from the closing position by an externally applied, predetermined triggering force on the first furniture part in the opening direction of the first furniture part relative to the second furniture part, if the triggering process does not override the lock.

Device for locking a furniture part and furniture

The invention relates to a piece of furniture and to a device for controlling the movement of furniture parts which can be moved with respect to one another, having a drive unit by means of which a first furniture part can be moved relative to a second furniture part, in a driven manner, via a monitoring unit for monitoring the movement of said first furniture part. According to the invention, the monitoring unit is designed such that, after an initiating action by the monitoring unit, the first furniture part is moved to a predetermined position and is stopped there, with the predetermined position differing from a final position of the first furniture part.

A pull-out slide for drawers can include a cabinet member, a drawer member, with a unit which defines the closed position of the slide and/or the drawer, and which acts on the slide and/or the drawer and whereby a depth adjustment of the slide and the drawer is planned for. A holding device can be present, that engages the unit intermittently whereby the holding device and/or the unit is depth adjustable on the slide and/or height and/or side adjustable. A drawer can comprise a pull-out slide described herein.

Pull-out slide for drawers and drawer

The invention concerns a cabinet hinge with an automatic opening device, especially for cabinet doors with a hinge cup, which is connected with a hinge to a hinge arm, which is, being adjustable and lockable, connected to a base plate, which is connected to a cabinet body; whereby, the hinge includes an inner and outer joint lever, which are fastened to the hinge cup, as well as the hinge arm, with each one pivoting joint pin, which causes a kind of parallelogram-joint to be formed between the hinge cup and the hinge arm, by which means the cabinet door relative to the cabinet body can be swung out; whereby, at least one elastic resilient spring element directly affects at least one joint pin of outer and/or inner joint lever and causes a torque for opening of the cabinet door from the closed position through a defined opening-angle area, and; whereby, the resilient spring element is fastened to the hinge cup, whereby, at least one resilient spring element affects through a sliding wedge directly or indirectly at least one join pin of the outer and/or inner joint lever. Specifically, the spring element is contained totally inside the hinge cup and includes at least one one-step piston rod-cylinder unit, which allows a relative movement of the sliding wedge towards the hinge cup and its top part during the opening process of the door by means of a spring and during the closing process by means of the strength of the user. The advantage of the spring element position on or in the hinge cup is that considerably more room is available for a heavy spring and heavy doors can be equipped with the automatic opening device, according to the invention.
