Abstract

A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body includes a drive unit to be mounted on or in the furniture body, and at least one movably mounted actuating part for moving the movable furniture part. A mounting stop that can be applied to the furniture body is provided on the drive unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body, the furniture drive comprising:
a drive unit to be mounted to or in the furniture body;
a movably-mounted actuating portion configured to move the movable furniture part; and
a mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit, the mounting abutment being configured to bear against the furniture body,
wherein the mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit is mounted pivotably and/or displaceably relative to the drive unit, and
wherein the mounting abutment is mounted displaceably in a direction extending a in parallel spaced relationship with the axis of rotation of the actuating portion.

2. A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body, the furniture drive comprising:
a drive unit to be mounted to or in the furniture body;
a movably-mounted actuating portion configured to move the movable furniture part; and
a mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit, the mounting abutment being configured to bear against the furniture body,
wherein the mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit is mounted pivotably and/or displaceably relative to the drive unit, and
wherein the mounting abutment is mounted displaceably along a pin.

3. A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body, the furniture drive comprising:
a drive unit to be mounted to or in the furniture body;
a movably-mounted actuating portion configured to move the movable furniture part; and
a mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit, the mounting abutment being configured to bear against the furniture body,
wherein the mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit is mounted pivotably and/or displaceably relative to the drive unit, and
wherein the actuating portion is mounted pivotably relative to the drive unit about an axis of rotation, the mounting abutment being mounted pivotably about an axis.

4. The furniture drive according to claim 3 , wherein the axis about which the mounting abutment is mounted is parallel to the axis of rotation.

5. A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body, the furniture drive comprising:
a drive unit to be mounted to or in the furniture body;
a movably-mounted actuating portion configured to move the movable furniture part; and
a mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit, the mounting abutment being configured to bear against the furniture body,
wherein the mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit is mounted pivotably and/or displaceably relative to the drive unit, and
wherein the mounting abutment is mounted so as to have limited movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the mounting abutment is arranged so that:
in the first position, the mounting abutment is at least partially received in a recess of the furniture drive, and,
in the second position, the mounting abutment projects transversely from the drive unit to be applied to a front face of the furniture body.

6. The furniture drive according to claim 5 , wherein the mounting abutment includes an abutment surface for bearing against the front face of the furniture body.

7. The furniture drive according to claim 6 , wherein the mounting abutment includes at least two abutment surfaces configured to alternatively bear against two different front faces of two mutually opposing side walls of the furniture body.

8. The furniture drive according to claim 7 , wherein the mounting abutment has an axis of symmetry, the at least two abutment surfaces being arranged in a mirror-image symmetrical relationship with respect to the axis of symmetry.

9. A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body, the furniture drive comprising:
a drive unit to be mounted to or in the furniture body;
a movably-mounted actuating portion configured to move the movable furniture part; and
a mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit, the mounting abutment being configured to bear against the furniture body,
wherein the mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit is mounted pivotably and/or displaceably relative to the drive unit, and
wherein the mounting abutment has a substantially T-shaped configuration.

10. A method of mounting a furniture drive to a furniture body, the furniture drive including a drive unit to be mounted to or in the furniture body, a movably-mounted actuating portion configured to move a movable furniture part relative to the furniture body, and a mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit, the mounting abutment being configured to bear against the furniture body, wherein the mounting abutment pre-fitted to the drive unit is mounted pivotably and/or displaceably relative to the drive unit, the method comprising:
moving the drive unit into a position until a mounting abutment abuts against a front face of a wall of the furniture body, so that the drive unit is positioned in respect of depth at a predetermined mounting position at or in the furniture body;
fixing the drive unit at the predetermined mounting position to or in the furniture body; and
prior to the moving of the drive unit, pivoting and/or displacing the mounting abutment relative to the drive unit into a position in which the mounting abutment projects transversely from the drive unit, so that the mounting abutment bears against a front face of the furniture body.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the position is a second position, the method further comprising, prior to or after fixing of the drive unit, pivoting or displacing the mounting abutment relative to the drive unit into a first position in which the mounting abutment is at least partially received within a recess of the furniture drive.

12. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising, prior to the fixing of the drive unit, moving the drive unit into a position until an abutment of the drive unit separate from the mounting abutment bears against an underside of a top wall of the furniture body, so that the drive unit is positioned in respect of height at a predetermined mounting position at or in the furniture body.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the drive unit bears against a wall of the furniture body during the moving of the drive unit, and is displaced along the wall.

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the fixing of the drive unit at the predetermined mounting position is by screws or dowels.
