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 retraction force accumulator, wherein the retraction device further comprises a base component which is different from the basic component and on which the retraction force accumulator is accommodated, wherein the retraction device is mounted displaceably on the basic component in such a manner that the retraction force accumulator is charged by a movement of the base component relative to the basic component in the first direction of movement, 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. 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 the pushing-out force accumulator and the retraction force accumulator, wherein the charging mechanism is configured in such a manner that the pushing-out force accumulator and the retraction force accumulator are charged exclusively via precisely one coupling element with which a temporary coupling between the device and the movable furniture part is realized, 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.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the charging mechanism is coordinated in such a manner that the retraction force accumulator and the pushing-out force accumulator are charged simultaneously.

4. The device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the locking of the base component of the retraction device in the starting position of the device is canceled by a displacement of the retraction device in relation to the basic component in the second direction of movement.

5. The device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the pushing-out device and the retraction device are coordinated in such a manner that, after the locking of the base component of the retraction device is canceled, the base component is movable relative to the basic component in the first direction of movement under the action of the pushing-out force accumulator.
