Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An articulated lever for a device for moving a furniture part received on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture, which has a spacer member in the form of a first and a second embossing. The first embossing is present on a first side of the first articulated lever, and the second embossing is present on a second side of the first articulated lever. The first and the second side of the first articulated lever are present opposite and spaced from one another. The first and the second embossing are present opposite one another. The first embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about a center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the first side. The second embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about the center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the second side.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An articulated lever for a device for moving a furniture part received on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture, wherein the articulated lever has a spacer member in the form of a first and a second embossing, wherein the first embossing is present on a first side of the first articulated lever, and the second embossing is present on a second side of the first articulated lever, wherein the first and the second side of the first articulated lever are present opposite one another and spaced apart from one another, wherein the first and the second embossing are present opposite one another, wherein the first embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about a center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the first side, and the second embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about a center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the second side. 2. The articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second embossing comprise or comprises a plurality of elevations and/or a plurality of depressions, and these elevations and depressions are formed in an alternating manner. 3. The articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the articulated lever further comprises an attachment member in the form of a through-opening which extends starting from the first side of the articulated lever to the opposite second side of the articulated lever, and wherein the first and/or the second embossing are or is formed to extend about the opening. 4. The articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the articulated lever further comprises two, three or more spacer members which are formed on the articulated lever so as to be spaced apart from one another. 5. The articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first embossing and/or the second embossing have or has a bearing surface. 6. The articulated lever as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the elevation of the first embossing and/or the elevation of the second embossing have or has the bearing surface. 7. A device for moving a furniture part received on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture, wherein the device comprises a guide, wherein, with the device mounted on the item of furniture, the furniture part can be moved from a closed position relative to the furniture carcass into an open position relative to the furniture carcass and back by way of the guide, wherein, in the closed position, the furniture part assumes a position in which it is moved up to a front side of the furniture carcass, wherein one guide is formed as a first articulated lever, and a further guide is formed as a second articulated lever, wherein the second articulated lever is formed in a sandwich-like manner with at least two lever arms, with the result that the first articulated lever is received so as to be movable between the two lever arms of the second articulated lever, wherein the first and the second articulated lever are articulately connected to one another at an attachment region by an attachment member, wherein the first articulated lever is formed as an articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 , and wherein the embossings of the first articulated lever are arranged between the lever arms of the second articulated lever. 8. A device for moving a furniture part received on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture, wherein the device comprises a guide, wherein, with the device mounted on the item of furniture, the furniture part can be moved from a closed position relative to the furniture carcass into an open position relative to the furniture carcass and back by way of the guide, wherein, in the closed position, the furniture part assumes a position in which it is moved up to a front side of the furniture carcass, wherein one guide is formed as a first articulated lever, and a further guide is formed as a second articulated lever, wherein the second articulated lever is formed in a sandwich-like manner with at least two lever arms, with the result that the first articulated lever is received so as to be movable between the two lever arms of the second articulated lever, wherein the first and the second articulated lever are articulately connected to one another at an attachment region by an attachment member, wherein the first articulated lever is formed as an articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a rivet member, wherein the rivet member has a cylinder shape which has a larger diameter in a central region than in a region of a first end of the rivet member and than in a region of a second end of the rivet member. 9. The device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the rivet member is formed as a solid rivet. 10. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rivet member is present in such a way that, in the arranged state of the rivet member on the opening of the first articulated lever, the rivet member engages through the opening and has its central region arranged in the region of the opening, wherein the rivet member extends by the first end beyond the first side of the first articulated lever and by the second end beyond the second side of the first articulated lever, wherein the central region of the rivet member is longer along a cylinder axis of the rivet member than a width of the first articulated lever, wherein the width extends from the remaining surface of the first side to the remaining surface of the second side of the first articulated lever, with the result that an end face of the central region forms a bearing member for the second articulated lever. 11. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the rivet member is present in such a way that the central region of the rivet member extends along a cylinder axis of the rivet member in the arranged state from a bearing surface of an elevation of the first embossing to a bearing surface of an elevation of the second embossing. 12. An item of furniture having an articulated lever as claimed in claim 1 . 13. An item of furniture having a device as claimed in claim 7 .
