A device for influencing the movement of a furniture part movably accommodated on a basic furniture structure via a guide unit, the device including a basic component which is assigned to the guide unit and on which a pushing-out device and a retraction device are present so that, in a mounted state of the device, the furniture part can be pushed out from a closure position on the basic furniture structure in a first direction of movement under an action of the pushing-out device, and the furniture part can be retracted from an open position on the basic furniture structure in a second direction of movement under an action of the retraction device, and a charging mechanism for charging the force accumulator, the pushing-out force accumulator is charged by a movement of the housing component of the pushing-out device relative to the basic component.

Device for influencing the movement of a furniture part, guide unit for guiding the movement of a furniture part, and item of furniture

The invention concerns a drawer slide with width equalization and, if necessary, centering, including a cabinet-side and a drawer-side slide rail for both sides of the drawer. At least one elastic, springy flexible width equalization element is on both sides of the drawer&#x2014;each is located between the cabinet-side slide rail and the cabinet body, indirectly or directly by, for example, an angle rail. The cabinet-side slide rail is located, releasable, on the cabinet-attached angle rail, axially engaged, but still moveable crosswise/transversely and is lockable in the end position of the drawer. The advantage here is that any desired combination between the width equalization element and the slide rail can be set flexibly and, additionally, the drawer slide is easy to maintain and simple to repair or replace.

Drawer slide

A coupling device for a damping element integrated in a pull-out slide set whereby both a damping device () and a coupling device () are located between the firmly fixed cabinet rail () and the linear-movable drawer rail () so that the damping device () has at least one cylinder () and in it, at least one damped linear-movable piston rod () and the damping device () is connected by one of its clamping components (or) with one of the rails (or) and by its other respective damping part (or) via the coupling device () with the other respective rail (or), can be coupled at times during the closing and opening of the drawer. The advantage is that less manual force is needed for pulling the movable cabinet component out. Also, it can be more easily adjusted and ensures a longer life span.

The invention concerns a cabinet fitting, in particular a hinge, with integrated braking and damping device, including a fastenable hinge arm on a cabinet component and a fastenable hinge cup on another movable cabinet component that is connected by at least one articulated lever with the hinge arm. The invention is characterized by the driver plate, which can slide, is held in the hinge cup and can be operated directly or indirectly by the articulated lever and has held in the hinge cup at least one pivoting or swiveling brake plate moves turning, so that the brake plate has at least one brake surface that glides on at least one corresponding, fixed brake surface or, on one opposite the first brake surface, a second movable brake surface.

The invention concerns a cabinet hinge with an adjusting device that is directly or indirectly on the cabinet side, single or multi-part mounting plate stored hinge arm, that is connected jointed with a door-side stop part, so that the adjusting device has a side adjusting screw by means of which the hinge arm's position perpendicular to the mounting plate can be changed to the door's side adjustment. The side adjusting device has a side adjusting screw with at least one eccentric- or cam disks so that by turning the side adjusting screw, a side adjustment and, at the same time, a parallel shifting of the hinge arm relative to the mounting plate occurs, resulting in a correction of the door's depth adjustment for an amount. The depth adjustment includes a depth adjusting screw, that is stored on the hinge arm or one of these connected assembly parts and has at least one eccentric- or cam disks that is supported on corresponding contact surfaces of the mounting plate and by turning the depth adjustment screw, a movement or shifting of the hinge arm relative to the mounting plate takes place for an amount.

Cabinet hinge

The invention concerns a cabinet hinge with a depth adjusting device for hinge arm held directly or indirectly on a cabinet-side, single- or multi-part mounting plate. A revolvable depth adjusting screw held in the mounting plate is provided in order to adjust the depth. A driver plate is connected with the hinge arm; whereby, the depth adjusting screw has adjusting elements that work together with corresponding adjusting surfaces on the driver plate in such a way that by turning the depth adjusting screw, the driver plate and the hinge arm are moved in relation to the mounting plate. The invention offers the advantage that with only turn, the depth adjusting screw can finely and delicately adjust the depth position of the hinge arm over its entire adjustment range.

The invention concerns a hinge, in particular a cabinet hinge with a baseplate that fastens to the cabinet body and a baseplate with a supporting adjusting plate than can be connected to the cabinet hinge, so that a secure fastening of the catch connection is provided. In order to attain a stabile connection that, at the same time, provides an easy assembly, the baseplate is formed in two parts&mdash;one lower part that fastens to the cabinet body and an upper part that tenses into the lower part. A height adjusting screw is provided to secure and vertically adjust the upper part on the lower part and has at least one eccentric or cam disks with an angle-dependent modification of the radius and whose eccentric or cam disk work together with at least one corresponding gliding cam of the upper part. The advantage, here, is that no self-activated adjustment of the hinge is possible, because the cam disks of the clamping height adjusting screw; both assembly components of the baseplate's upper and lower parts clamp together, are self-locking. This height adjustment is easy and simple to achieve smoothly, even with heavy cabinet doors.

A fastening device for fastening a front panel to a metal drawer slide/side is provided which comprises a front panel, a dowel component, and a distance plate, adapted to be connected to a metal drawer slide/side, disposed between the front panel and the dowel component, and an adjustment device comprising an eccentric piece that is operated by a retractable or foldable adjusting lever.

Panel fastening device for drawers

The invention pertains to a railing fastener for drawers that has one part with an expansion dowel located in the front panel of the drawer and one part that is a fastener (that can be inserted), which is connected in the dowel to the railing pipe. The fastener fitting has a head component with an expansion head that can be inserted in the expansion dowel. Guides and/or catches are provided on the head component, respectively the expansion head, that work together with the corresponding grooves or catch openings of the expansion dowel. After completely inserting the expansion head, the expansion dowel spreads, activated by the swinging or swiveling of the fastener fitting; the guides or catches reach the corresponding lock-in positions so that the fastener fitting is held securely in the expansion dowel and an extraction of the expansion head is no longer possible.
