Abstract

A device for moving a movable furniture part, the device including a force accumulator such that by way of the fitted device the furniture part under the action of the force accumulator is capable of being put in the opening direction, and wherein the device has a locking assembly for locking a tensioned position of the force accumulator, in which the force accumulator is charged for the opening movement of the furniture part, wherein the tensioned position is unlockable. A locking member of the locking assembly, and a movable lever of the device, which is coupled to the force accumulator, are present in an interacting manner such that in the locked tensioned position of the force accumulator, the locking member assumes a locking position, and the lever assumes a standby position in which cancelling of the standby position of the lever is blocked by the locking member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for moving a movable furniture part in an opening direction of the furniture part 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 which is counter to the opening direction, wherein the device comprises a force accumulator such that by way of the fitted device the movable furniture part under action of the force accumulator is capable of being put in the opening direction, and wherein the device has a locking assembly for locking a tensioned position of the force accumulator, in which the force accumulator is charged for the opening movement of the furniture part), wherein the tensioned position is unlockable, wherein a locking member of the locking assembly, and a movable lever of the device, which is coupled to the force accumulator, are present in an interacting manner such that in the locked tensioned position of the force accumulator, the locking member assumes a locking position, and the lever assumes a standby position in which cancelling of the standby position of the lever is blocked by the locking member.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the lever has an adjustable contact portion which in the standby position of the lever assumes a blocked state and comes to bear on the locking member.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is movably mounted and is in particular pivotable.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is biased.

5. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the contact portion is mounted so as to be capable of yielding from the blocked state.

6. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the contact portion is impinged by a spring.

7. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the contact portion is designed on a pivotable latch.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member and the lever are adapted in such a manner that a departure from the locking position of the locking member is a precondition to the standby position of the lever being capable of being cancelled.

9. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the locking member and a support portion on the lever are adapted in such a manner that upon departing from the locking position of the locking member, the support portion acts on the locking member, wherein the locking member moves away from the locking position.

10. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the contact portion and the support portion are designed on a common component on the lever.

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member and the lever are mutually adapted such that the lever in the case of the force accumulator being tensioned is movable past the locking member, wherein the lever is capable of being put in the standby position.

12. An item of furniture having a basic furniture structure and a movable furniture part which by way of guide means in relation to the basic furniture structure is movable in an opening direction of the furniture part and in a closing direction which is counter to the opening direction, wherein a device according to claim 1 is provided.
