Abstract

A device for a movable furniture part having a first stop part which can be attached to a body and is connected via a joint mechanism to a second stop part which can be attached to the movable furniture part for pivoting of the movable furniture part. A damping device is provided, and includes a damper housing and an inner part which is received on the damper housing, which damper housing and inner part can be moved with respect to one another, and the damper housing or the inner part serving as a contact part which, for the damping operation, comes at least temporarily into contact with a section of the device, which section can be moved during the pivoting of the furniture part. A setting mechanism is provided, by way of which setting of the damping action which is provided by way of the damping device can be performed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for a movable furniture part of a furniture body, the device comprising a first stop part which is adapted to be attached to the furniture body and which is connected, via a joint mechanism, to a second stop part which is adapted to be attached to the movable furniture part to pivot the movable furniture part, and a damping device, for performing a damping action during a pivoting movement of the movable furniture part in a mounted state of the device, the damping device comprising a damper housing, an inner part which is received on the damper housing, the inner part defining a longitudinal axis, wherein the damper housing and the inner part are movable with respect to one another, wherein at least one of the damper housing and the inner part comprise a contact part, the contact part, during the damping operation, at least temporarily contacting a movable section of the device that moves during the pivoting movement of the movable furniture part, and setting means for setting a damping action provided by the damping device, wherein the setting means comprise a setting element for manually setting, without a tool, an extent of the damping action provided by the damping device, whereby a minimum extent of the damping action provided by the damping device during the damping action is ensured at every setting, wherein the damping device is positioned in a depressed region of the second stop part, and wherein the damping device includes an adjusting element, the adjusting element being displaceable relative to an adjusting element axis, the adjusting element and the adjusting element axis being spaced away from the longitudinal axis defined by the inner part.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the damper housing and the inner part, which is received on the damper housing, are adapted to so that an extent of the damping action provided by the damping device is determined by a basic position of the contact part at a beginning of the damping action.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the setting element is configured to define one of a plurality of possible different positions of the contact part.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is configured to fix a position of a movably mounted stop element that forms a mechanical stop for the contact part.

5. The device according to claim 2 , wherein a stop element is adapted to form a mechanical stop for the contact part in the basic position of the contact part.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the contact part and the stop element interact so that the contact part is moved out of the basic position in a direction away from the stop element for the damping action.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element comprises a rotational arrangement with an operating part which is adjusted about a rotational axis.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element comprises a sliding arrangement with an operating part which is adjusted along a sliding path.

9. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a joint mounted with a joint axis, about which the pivoting of the movable furniture part takes place via the mounted joint.

10. A piece of furniture having a furniture body and a movable furniture part attached to the furniture body, and a device in accordance with claim 1 .

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable furniture part is a door.

12. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable furniture part is a flap.

13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the depressed region in the second stop part is a cup.

14. The piece of furniture according to claim 10 , wherein the movable furniture part is a door.

15. The piece of furniture according to claim 10 , wherein the movable furniture part is a flap.

16. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element is provided on an upper portion of the damping device with respect to an orientation of the device overall.

17. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting element is rotatable about the adjusting element axis.

18. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the adjusting element is rotatable about the adjusting element axis in each of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction.
