Abstract
A closure device for attaching a movable furniture part to a stationary structure, comprising a cabinet mount for mounting to the stationary structure, and a door mount for mounting to the movable furniture part, further comprising at least one arm pivotably connected to the cabinet mount about a pivot axis of a cabinet mount pivot bearing and further pivotably connected to the door mount about a pivot axis of a door mount pivot bearing. Enhanced load-bearing capacity is achieved in that the at least one arm comprises guiding means for load transmission in a load transmission direction (LD) direction parallel to a pivot axis of the cabinet mount pivot bearing and/or of the door mount pivot bearing.
Claims21
1-15. (canceled)
16:
- A closure device for movable attachment of at least one movable furniture part to a stationary structure to enable movement of the movable furniture part relative to the stationary structure between a closed state and an open state, the closure device comprising:
- at least one stationary mount for mounting to the stationary structure;

- and
- at least one arm pivotably connected to the stationary mount about a pivot axis of a stationary mount pivot bearing and pivotably connected to the movable mount about a pivot axis of a movable mount pivot bearing;
- wherein the at least one arm is pivotable between a closed position and an open position configured to correspond to the closed state and the open state, respectively, of the movable furniture part;
- and
- wherein the at least one arm further includes a guide configured to transmit a load at least partially in a load transmission direction parallel to the pivot axis of the stationary mount pivot bearing and/or parallel to the pivot axis of the movable mount pivot bearing.

1 more element
21:
- The closure device of claim 18, wherein:
- the roller rolls on the stationary mount during pivoting of the at least one arm between the closed position and the open position.
22:
- The closure device of claim 16, wherein:
- the at least one arm includes a bearing segment, the bearing segment including the stationary mount pivot bearing and the guide.
23:
- The closure device of claim 16, wherein:
- the at least one arm includes at least two segments which can be secured to one another in multiple positions relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the at least one arm.
24:
- The closure device of claim 16, further comprising:
- at least one dampener configured to dampen a pivoting movement of the at least one arm when the at least one arm is approaching the closed position and/or the open position.
25:
- The closure device of claim 24, wherein:
- the at least one dampener includes a stop surface;
- and
- the at least one arm includes a counter-stop surface configured to engage the stop surface when the at least one arm approaches the closed position and/or the open position.
