Abstract
A coupling element for coupling a locking bar of a piece of furniture has a plurality of pull-out furniture parts to an activator coupled directly or indirectly to one of the pull-out furniture parts has a housing which can be placed against the locking bar, a driver which is mounted displaceably in the housing and is operatively connected to the locking bar for locking an extension movement of the other furniture part or parts, wherein the housing has a guide track in which a pin of the driver is guided, wherein the housing has at least one spring element serving to fix the housing relative to the locking bar. Furthermore, a locking system and a piece of furniture are described.

A coupling element (3) configured for coupling a locking bar (5) of a piece of furniture having a plurality of pull-out furniture parts (2) to an activator (9) coupled directly or indirectly to one of the pull-out furniture parts (2), the coupling element comprising:
- a housing (31) which is configured to be placed against the locking bar (5),
- a driver (4) which is displaceably mounted in the housing (31) and is configured to be operatively connected to the locking bar (5) for locking a pull-out movement of the other furniture part (2) or the other furniture parts (2),
- wherein the housing (31) has a guide track (34) in which a pin (44) of the driver (4) is guided,
- wherein the housing (31) has at least one spring element (32) configured to fix the housing (31) relative to the locking bar (5) and enable the coupling element to move resiliently under force from the activator during coupling of the activator to the locking bar.
