HARDWARE SYSTEM FOR GUIDING THE CLOSURE FLAP OF A FURNITURE PIECE

1 . Fitting system for guiding a closure flap of a piece of furniture, comprising a fitting body which can be fastened to and/or in a wall of the piece of furniture, the fitting body comprising an angled or bent guide slot for receiving guide pins which are provided in side regions of the closure flap, the fitting system having the following features:

in an end region of the fitting body a damping device is embedded in the fitting body or in the wall of the piece of furniture, substantially parallel to an end region of the guide slot;

a guide pin of the closure flap can be brought into contact with the damping device; and

a weight of the closure flap, exerted via the guide pin, can be applied to the damping device over a damping distance when the closure flap is transferred into an end position and the damping device exerts a counterforce on the guide pin, which counterforce is smaller than the weight exerted on the damping device by the guide pin,

the fitting system being characterised in that the fitting body has an undercut in cross-section in the end region and is resilient in the region of the undercut, such that the damping device is releasably connected to the fitting body by means of the undercut.

2 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the damping device comprises a damping cylinder comprising an extendable piston rod and can be actuated in that, by means of the guide pin of the closure flap, the piston rod is inserted into the damping cylinder or withdrawn therefrom.

3 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the damping device transferred into an end position forms an end stop for the closure flap.

4 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised by the following further features:

the fitting body has a substantially U-shaped cross-section comprising two side walls, a back wall l and an open side oriented towards the front of the fitting body; and

the guide slot is formed by two opposing inner faces of the two side walls.

5 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised by the following features:

a position adjustment device for the damping device is embedded in the fitting body and designed to adjust the position of the damping device relative to the fitting body; and

the damping device rests against the position adjustment device

6 . Fitting system according to claim 2 , characterised by the following features:

a first transverse extension (Q 1 ) of an open side of the fitting body the end region is slightly smaller than a diameter (D) of the damping cylinder;

a second transverse extension (Q 2 ) of the fitting body in the region of the undercut is the same size or larger than the diameter (D) of the damping cylinder, at least in part.

7 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the region of the fitting body in which the damping device is provided is a straight prolongation of the guide slot.

8 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the cross-section of the fitting body in the region in which the damping device is provided is substantially the same as the cross-section of the fitting body in which the guide slot is provided.

9 . Fitting system according to claim 1 , characterised in that the damping device can be tipped out of the fitting body about an axis of rotation oriented perpendicular to a side wall of the fitting body.

10 . Piece of furniture comprising:

two side walls;

a closure flap comprising two side regions for closing an opening of the piece of furniture;

two guide pins in each side region of the closure flap,

characterised by the following further features:

a fitting system according to claim 1 is mounted in or on the side walls of the piece of furniture or embedded in predetermined recesses; and

the two guide pins arranged at each side region, of the closure flap are guided in the respective guide slots.
