Abstract

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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for influencing the movement of a furniture part which is accommodated movably on a basic furniture structure of an item of furniture via a guide unit, the device comprising: a pushing-out device, a retraction device, a basic component which is assigned to the guide unit and on which the pushing-out device and the retraction device are present in such a manner that, in a mounted state of the device on the item of furniture, a movable 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 a pushing-out force accumulator 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 opposed to the first direction of movement under an action of a retraction force accumulator of the retraction device, and a charging mechanism for charging at least the pushing-out force accumulator, wherein the pushing-out device has a housing component which is different from the basic component and on which the pushing-out force accumulator is accommodated, wherein the pushing-out device is mounted displaceably on the basic component in such a manner that the pushing-out force accumulator is charged by a movement of the housing component relative to the basic component, and wherein the retraction device includes a housing, a damper and a carry along member that is fitted on a variable bearing point of the retraction force accumulator.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the charging mechanism is designed in such a manner that the retraction force accumulator is charged by a movement of the one coupling element of the retraction device and a movement of the basic component combined in the first direction of movement.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a locking device that is provided in such a manner that, in a starting position of the device, the retraction device is locked in relation to the basic component.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pushing-out device and the retraction device are coordinated in such a manner that the base component of the retraction device moves relative to the basic component in the first direction of movement under the action of the pushing-out force accumulator, with the charging state of the retraction force accumulator being maintained.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pushing-out force accumulator is connected to a movable gripping section which can be brought into contact with a mating section on the base component such that coupling takes place between the pushing-out force accumulator and the base component.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing component of the pushing-out device is movable relative to the basic component in a manner limited via stops on the basic component.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pushing-out device and the retraction device are designed in such a manner that, when the retraction device moves in the second direction of movement, a movement coupling to the pushing-out device takes place, with the retraction device and the pushing-out device moving into a stop position in relation to the basic component.

8. A guide unit for guiding the movement of a furniture part which can be accommodated movably on a basic furniture structure of an item of furniture via the guide unit, wherein the guide unit includes the device for influencing the movement, as claimed in claim 1 .

9. An item of furniture comprising: a basic furniture structure, a furniture part which is accommodated movably on the basic furniture structure, and a guide unit for guiding the movement of the furniture part, wherein the guide unit is as claimed in claim 8 .
