Abstract
An actuating mechanism for a pivotably mounted actuating arm for driving a flap of a piece of furniture includes a spring device and a transmission mechanism. The spring device includes a spring-loaded setting member and the transmission mechanism converts the movement of the setting member into a pivoting movement of the actuating arm. The transmission mechanism includes at least one pivotably mounted interlever interacting between the setting member and the actuating arm so that interaction between the interlever and the setting member or the actuating arm occurs by a setting contour. The transmission mechanism includes at least one adjustment device to alter the transmission ratio between the movement of the setting member and the pivoting movement of the actuating arm.
Claims31
A positioning mechanism for driving a flap of a piece of furniture, said positioning mechanism comprising:
- a damping device which dampens a closing movement of the flap;
- a pivotably mounted positioning arm for being connected to the flap;
- a spring device for moving said positioning arm, said spring device including a spring-loaded setting member;
- and
- a transmission mechanism connected between said positioning arm and said spring device, said transmission mechanism converting a movement of said spring-loaded setting member into a pivoting movement of said positioning arm,
- wherein said transmission mechanism includes at least one adjustment device to alter the transmission ratio between the movement of said spring-loaded setting member and the pivoting movement of said positioning arm, and
- wherein said damping device is formed separately from said spring device.
A positioning mechanism for driving a flap of a piece of furniture, said positioning mechanism comprising:
- a damping device which dampens a closing movement of the flap;
- a pivotably mounted positioning arm for being connected to the flap;
- a spring device for moving said positioning arm, said spring device including a spring-loaded setting member;
- and
- a transmission mechanism connected between said positioning arm and said spring device, said transmission mechanism converting a movement of said spring-loaded setting member into a pivoting movement of said positioning arm,
- wherein said transmission mechanism includes a pivotable lever connected to said spring device,
- wherein said spring device acts on said pivotable lever at a bearing point,
- wherein said transmission mechanism includes at least one adjustment device to alter the transmission ratio between the movement of said spring-loaded setting member and the pivoting movement of said positioning arm,
- wherein said at least one adjustment device adjusts a distance between the bearing point and an axis of rotation of said pivotable lever,
- wherein said damping device is formed separately from said spring device, and
- wherein said positioning arm includes a projection which engages said damping device to dampen a closing movement of the flap.
