Abstract
The invention relates to a damping device for damping an opening and/or closing motion of a furniture fitting. The damping device includes a restoring mechanism, by which an actuating element of the damping device can be moved into a starting position of the subsequent damping stroke after damping has been carried out. The location of the starting position of the actuating element can be set relative to the damping device by an adjusting unit. The actuating element of the damping device is rotatably supported, and the adjusting unit can be used to adjustably limit the restoring stroke of the actuating element relative to the damping device.
Claims20
A damping device for damping at least one of an opening and closing movement of a furniture fitting, said damping device comprising:
- a rotational damper;
- a rotationally supported actuating element configured to act on said rotational damper during a damping process;
- a return mechanism for moving said actuating element back into a starting position of a subsequent damping stroke after the damping process has been effected;
- and
- an adjusting device configured to adjustably limit a return stroke of said actuating element relative to said rotational damper such that a location of the starting position of the subsequent damping stroke is thereby adjusted relative to said rotational damper by said adjusting device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a furniture fitting having a damping device, said damping device including:
- a rotational damper;
- a rotationally supported actuating element configured to act on said rotational damper during a damping process;
- a return mechanism for moving said actuating element back into a starting position of a subsequent damping stroke after the damping process has been effected;
- and
- an adjusting device for adjustably limiting a return stroke of said actuating element relative to said rotational damper such that a location of the starting position of the subsequent damping stroke is thereby adjusted relative to said rotational damper by said adjusting device.
An article of furniture, comprising:
- a furniture carcass;
- a movable furniture part movably mounted to said furniture carcass;
- and
- a furniture fitting mounted to at least one of said furniture carcass and said movable furniture part, said furniture fitting having a damping device including:
- a rotational damper for damping movement of said movable furniture part;
- a rotationally supported actuating element configured to act on said rotational damper during a damping process;
- a return mechanism for moving said actuating element back into a starting position of a subsequent damping stroke after the damping process has been effected;
- and
- an adjusting device for adjustably limiting a return stroke of said actuating element relative to said rotational damper such that a location of the starting position of the subsequent damping stroke is thereby adjusted relative to said rotational damper by said adjusting device.
