Abstract

A device for moving a movable furniture part, the device including a force accumulator such that by way of the device which is fitted to an item of furniture the movable furniture part in the case of an opening procedure under the action of the force accumulator is capable of being put in the opening direction, wherein in the case of a movement of the movable furniture part in the closing direction a charging procedure of the force accumulator is performed, and wherein the force accumulator by way of a coupling installation couples to an ejector so as to eject the movable furniture part. The coupling installation includes a lever assembly designed in such a manner that a force for the charging procedure of the force accumulator, which is introduced at the ejector, by means of the lever assembly is transmitted in a geared manner to the force accumulator.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for moving a movable furniture part in an opening direction in relation to a basic furniture structure of an item of furniture, wherein the movable furniture part by way of guide means is capable of being put in the opening direction and in a closing direction that is counter to the opening direction, wherein the device has a force accumulator such that by way of the device which is fitted to the item of furniture the movable furniture part in the case of an opening procedure under the action of the force accumulator is capable of being put in the opening direction, wherein in the case of a movement of the movable furniture part in the closing direction a charging procedure of the force accumulator is performed, wherein the force accumulator by way of a coupling installation couples to an ejector so as to eject the movable furniture part, wherein the coupling installation comprises a lever assembly, and wherein the lever assembly is designed in such a manner that a force for the charging procedure of the force accumulator, which is introduced at the ejector, by means of the lever assembly is transmitted in a geared manner to the force accumulator.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lever assembly is designed in such a manner that the force accumulator is capable of being charged by a closing procedure of the movable furniture part, wherein the charging procedure of the force accumulator in relation to the coupling installation is performed exclusively by a movement of the ejector by way of the lever assembly.

3. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a motion element, wherein the coupling installation and the ejector are mutually adapted in such a manner that during the opening procedure of the movable furniture part it is the motion element that exclusively and directly transmits a movement of the force accumulator to the ejector.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lever assembly is designed in such a manner that a starting position of the movement of the ejector for the charging procedure of the force accumulator in the case of the movable furniture part being closed is variable by modifying the dimension of a single coupling member.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a size of the movement range of the ejector in the case of the charging procedure of the force accumulator is predefinable by the design of the lever assembly.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the ejector comprises a latch element, and the latch element during the charging procedure of the force accumulator couples the ejector to the coupling installation.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lever assembly of the coupling installation has two coupling members, wherein a second coupling member is movably disposed on a first coupling member.

8. The device according claim 1 , wherein the second coupling member of the lever assembly by way of a first end is disposed so as to be movable on the first coupling member and by way of a second end so as to be movable on the force accumulator.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lever assembly has a third coupling member, and the third coupling member is movably disposed on the first coupling member.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the third coupling member by way of a first end is disposed so as to be movable on the second end of the first coupling member and by way of a second end so as to be movable on the ejector.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the third coupling member is disposed so as to be movably guided on the ejector.

12. An item of furniture having a device according to claim 1 .
