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 by 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 a front gap between the movable furniture part and the basic furniture structure is configured on the item of furniture in a closed state of the movable furniture part, wherein the front gap is adjustable by way of an adjustment assembly.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for moving a movable furniture part by way of guide means relative to a basic furniture structure of an item of furniture in an opening direction to an open position and in a closing direction counter to the opening direction to a closed position, and for adjusting a front gap defined between the movable furniture part and the basic furniture structure in the closed position, the device comprising: 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 by 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 a front gap adjustment assembly positioned in the device to adjust the front gap, wherein the movable furniture part is capable of being put in motion from the closed state in the closing direction, wherein a movement length of the movable furniture part in the closing direction is designed in such a manner that the charged force accumulator is unlocked, and wherein the front gap adjustment assembly comprises an elastic member.

2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the front gap adjustment assembly further comprises a self-locking setting element.

3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the front gap adjustment assembly further comprises an elastic stop member, wherein the elastic stop member is configured on the front gap adjustment assembly in such a manner so as to couple with an entrainment element of at least one of the movable furniture part and/or of the guide means.

4. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the front gap adjustment assembly further comprises a setting element, a housing, and a stop element mounted on the housing, wherein the stop element is configured to predefine at least one of a minimum and a maximum position of the setting element.

5. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the front gap adjustment assembly is disposed on the movable furniture part.

6. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the front gap adjustment assembly is disposed on an activator of the device.

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

8. A device for moving a movable furniture part by way of guide means relative to a basic structure of an item of furniture in an opening direction to an open position and in a closing direction counter to the opening direction to a closed position, and for adjusting a front gap defined between the movable furniture part and the basic furniture structure in the closed position, the device comprising: 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 by 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 a front gap adjustment assembly, the front gap adjustment assembly being positioned in the device to adjust the front gap, wherein the movable furniture part is capable of being put in motion from the closed state in the closing direction, wherein a movement length of the movable furniture part in the closing direction is designed in such a manner that the charged force accumulator is unlocked, wherein the front gap is adjustable without tools, and wherein the front gap adjustment assembly comprises an elastic member.

9. A device for moving a movable furniture part by way of guide means relative to a basic furniture structure of an item of furniture in an opening direction to an open position and in a closing direction counter to the opening direction to a closed position, and for adjusting front gap defined between the movable furniture part and the basic furniture part and the basic furniture structure in the closed position, the device comprising: 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 by 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 a front gap adjustment assembly, the front gap adjustment assembly being positioned in the device to adjust the front gap, wherein the movable furniture part is capable of being put in motion from the closed state in the closing direction, wherein a movement length of the movable furniture part in the closing direction is designed in such a manner that the charged force accumulator is unlocked, wherein the front gap adjustment assembly is configured on an attachment portion of an ejector of the device, and wherein the front gap adjustment assembly comprises an elastic member.
