Abstract
The invention relates to an actuating mechanism for a swivel-mounted actuating arm, especially for driving a lid of an item of furniture. Said mechanism comprises a spring device including a biased actuating element and a translatory mechanism which translates the movement of the actuating element into a swiveling movement of the actuating arm. Said translatory mechanism comprises at least one adjusting device for varying the translation ratio between the movement of the actuating element and the swiveling movement of the actuating arm.
Claims28
An actuating mechanism for moving a flap of a piece of furniture, said actuating mechanism comprising:
- an actuating arm to be pivotably mounted to the flap;
- a spring device including a spring-loaded and movable setting member;
- and
- a transmission mechanism linked between said spring device and said actuating arm for converting a movement of said setting member into a pivoting movement of said actuating arm, said transmission mechanism including:
- an interlever pivotably mounted between said setting member and said actuating arm;
- and
- an adjustment device for adjusting a transmission ratio between the movement of said setting member and the pivoting movement of said actuating arm;
- wherein one of said interlever and said actuating arm has a setting contour surface, and the other of said interlever and said actuating arm has a thrust roller mounted thereto and arranged to abut against said setting contour surface such that said thrust roller runs along said setting contour surface during the pivoting movement of said actuating arm.
