Abstract
An actuating arm drive for a pivotably mounted actuating arm, in particular for driving a flap of a piece of furniture, includes a plurality of articulatedly interconnected levers. A first lever and a second lever of the actuating arm drive are arranged parallel to one another with a lateral spacing, and the levers each have two axial bores with a first standard spacing, through each of which bores an axial pin projects. A third lever has receptacles for the axial pins with a second standard spacing, and the second standard spacing is different than the first standard spacing. The axial pins each project through the axial bores of the first and second lever and are at least partially received in the receptacles of the third lever.
Claims25
An actuating arm drive for moving a pivotably mounted actuating arm, the actuating arm drive comprising:
- a plurality of levers including at least two levers connected to each other in an articulated manner, the plurality of levers including a first lever and a second lever arranged in parallel with a lateral spacing therebetween, each of the first lever and the second lever having a first axle hole and a second axle hole extending therethrough, the first axle hole and the second axle hole having respective centers spaced apart from each other at a first standard spacing;
- a first axle pin projecting through the first axle hole of each of the first lever and the second lever;
- and
- a second axle pin projecting through the second axle hole of each of the first lever and the second lever;
- wherein the plurality of levers further include a third lever having a first receiver for receiving the first axle pin and a second receiver for receiving the second axle pin, the third lever being arranged such that the first axle pin is at least partially received in the first receiver and the second axle pin is at least partially received in the second receiver, the first receiver and the second receiver of the third lever having respective centers spaced apart from each other at a second standard spacing, the second standard spacing being different than the first standard spacing when the third lever is in a relaxed state such that the third lever is stressed in an installed state.
