Abstract
A synchronizing device for a movably mounted furniture part synchronizes a movement between at least two adjusting devices via a synchronizing rod. The synchronizing rod has at least two sub-shafts between which an overload protection device is arranged, and the overload protection device can release a relative rotational movement between the two sub-shafts when a specified holding torque between the two sub-shafts is exceeded.
Claims20
A movably mounted furniture part comprising:
- a furniture part;
- and
- a synchronizing device connected to said furniture part, said synchronizing device including:
- a synchronizing rod for synchronizing movement between at least two adjusting devices, said synchronizing rod including at least two shaft portions;
- and
- an overload protection device between said at least two shaft portions of said synchronizing rod, said overload protection device being configured to enable a relative rotary movement between said at least two shaft portions when a predetermined holding torque is exceeded between said at least two shaft portions;
- wherein said overload protection device comprises a coupling arranged between two of said at least two shaft portions of said synchronization rod, said coupling comprising a resilient sleeve mounted on a first one of said at least two shaft portions, said resilient sleeve having a latching portion for latching into a counterpart latching element of a second one of said at least two shaft portions, said latching portion being configured to automatically unlatch from said counterpart latching element when a predetermined holding torque between said first one of said at least two shaft portions and said second one of said at least two shaft portions is exceeded so as to enable a relative rotary movement between said at least two shaft portions.
