Abstract
In an item of furniture having a movable furniture part, such as a drawer, door or folding part, there is provided a damping means which damps movement of the movable furniture part in the closing phase of the closing and/or opening movement. The damping means is constructed as a negative-pressure damping means or combined pressurised and negative-pressure damping means. It has a piston (3) with a resiliently deformable piston part (6) in the piston rod (4), this resiliently deformable piston part (6) being pressed against the cylinder wall during the damping procedure.
Claims24
A damping means, in particular for furniture, having a piston which is linearly displaceable in a cylinder chamber of a cylinder and is provided with a resiliently deformable piston part which is pressed against the cylinder wall during the damping procedure, characterised in that the resiliently deformable piston part is constructed on a piston rod, which is constructed on the piston and is guided in a channel in the cylinder which has a smaller diameter than the piston, with the resiliently deformable piston part widening radially under axial compressive load and abutting against the wall of the channel.
