Abstract

An arrangement for moving a movable furniture part, in particular a furniture part which is mounted pivotably about an axis, includes at least one ejection device for ejecting the movable furniture part from a closed position into an open position, and the at least one ejection device includes at least one force accumulator. The arrangement further includes a loading device for loading the at least one force accumulator by an opening or closing movement of the movable furniture part. At least one Bowden cable for transmitting force during the loading of the at least one force accumulator is arranged between the at least one ejection device and the loading device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An arrangement for moving a moveable furniture part,
comprising:
at least one ejection device for ejecting the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position, wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one force storage element configured to apply force against the moveable furniture part in a direction for moving the moveable furniture part toward the open position;
a loading device for loading the at least one force storage element by an opening or closing movement of the moveable furniture part; and
at least one Bowden cable for transmitting force upon loading of the at least one force storage element, the at least one Bowden cable being arranged between the at least one ejection device and the loading device;
wherein the at least one force storage element includes at least one spring.

2. The arrangement as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one moveable ejection element configured to be acted upon by the at least one force storage element.

3. The arrangement as set forth in claim 2 , wherein a second end of the at least one Bowden cable is connected to the at least one ejection element.

4. The arrangement as set forth in claim 2 , wherein each of the at least one ejection element of the at least one ejection device is linearly displaceable.

5. An article of furniture comprising:
a furniture carcass;
at least one furniture part mounted moveably in or on the furniture carcass; and
at least one arrangement as set forth in claim 1 for moving the at least one furniture part.

6. The article of furniture as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the at least one furniture part is mounted pivotably about an axis.

7. The article of furniture as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the at least one furniture part is mounted pivotably about a horizontal axis.

8. The article of furniture as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the at least one Bowden cable is configured to transmit force to the at least one force storage element from the loading device upon loading of the at least one force storage element without transmitting any force to the moveable furniture part.

9. An arrangement for moving a moveable furniture part, comprising:
at least one ejection device for ejecting the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position, wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one force storage element configured to apply force against the moveable furniture part in a direction for moving the moveable furniture part toward the open position;
a loading device for loading the at least one force storage element by an opening or closing movement of the moveable furniture part; and
at least one Bowden cable for transmitting force upon loading of the at least one force storage element, the at least one Bowden cable being arranged between the at least one ejection device and the loading device;
wherein the loading device includes at least one adjusting body and at least one adjusting contour, wherein the at least one adjusting body runs against the at least one adjusting contour at least during a part of the opening or closing movement.

10. The arrangement as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the at least one adjusting contour has at least one neutral portion in which the at least one adjusting body and the at least one adjusting contour move relative to each other without loading the at least one force storage element.

11. The arrangement as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the loading device has a rotatably mounted double-armed lever, wherein the at least one adjusting body is arranged on a first arm of the lever, and a second arm of the lever is operatively connected to a first end of the at least one Bowden cable.

12. The arrangement as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the at least one adjusting body is formed as a rolling body or a sliding body.

13. The arrangement as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the at least one adjusting body is formed as a pressure roller.

14. An arrangement for moving a moveable furniture part, comprising:
at least one ejection device for ejecting the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position, wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one force storage element configured to apply force against the moveable furniture part in a direction for moving the moveable furniture part toward the open position;
a loading device for loading the at least one force storage element by an opening or closing movement of the moveable furniture part; and
at least one Bowden cable for transmitting force upon loading of the at least one force storage element, the at least one Bowden cable being arranged between the at least one ejection device and the loading device;
wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one moveable ejection element configured to be acted upon by the at least one force storage element; and
wherein the at least one ejection element has at least two parts which are moveable relative to each other over a limited distance.

15. The arrangement as set forth in claim 14 , wherein the at least one ejection element further includes at least one spring arranged between the two parts.

16. An arrangement for moving a moveable furniture part, comprising:
at least one ejection device for ejecting the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position, wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one force storage element configured to apply force against the moveable furniture part in a direction for moving the moveable furniture part toward the open position;
a loading device for loading the at least one force storage element by an opening or closing movement of the moveable furniture part; and
at least one Bowden cable for transmitting force upon loading of the at least one force storage element, the at least one Bowden cable being arranged between the at least one ejection device and the loading device;
wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one moveable ejection element configured to be acted upon by the at least one force storage element; and
wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one locking device for releasably locking the at least one ejection element against action thereon by the at least one force storage element.

17. The arrangement as set forth in claim 16 , wherein the at least one locking device is configured to be releasable by over-pressing in a direction opposite to the ejection direction.

18. The arrangement as set forth in claim 16 , wherein the at least one locking device includes at least one tilting lever.

19. The arrangement as set forth in claim 18 , wherein the at least one tilting lever is configured to embody at least one of the following:
has a latching projection,
has an inclined surface, and/or
is acted upon by at least one spring.

20. An arrangement for moving a moveable furniture part, comprising:
at least one ejection device for ejecting the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position, wherein the at least one ejection device includes at least one force storage element configured to apply force against the moveable furniture part in a direction for moving the moveable furniture part toward the open position;
a loading device for loading the at least one force storage element by an opening or closing movement of the moveable furniture part;
at least one Bowden cable for transmitting f
