Abstract

A device for moving a furniture part on an item of furniture, including a guide configured as an articulated lever releasably disposed on an assembly member of the device, which is assembled on the furniture part. The guide includes a securing member movably disposed on the articulated lever and capable of being positioned relative to the articulated lever. In a first position of the securing member a pivoting range of the guide is delimited by the securing member such that the guide in a closing movement is not capable of being moved from the opened position to the closed position. In a second position of the securing member the pivoting range of the guide is released such that the guide, in the closing movement from the opened position, reaches the closed position.

Claims (18)

1. A device for moving a movable furniture part associated with a furniture cabinet, the device comprising:

an assembly member provided on a movable furniture part associated with a furniture cabinet;

a guide comprising

at least one articulated lever that is releasably disposed on the assembly member, wherein the guide enables the movable furniture part to move from a closed position proximate a front side of the furniture cabinet to an opened position relative to the furniture cabinet and back,

a securing member movably disposed on the articulated lever and positioned relative to the articulated lever, and

a spring member configured such that the securing member is urged to a first position in a spring-loaded manner by the spring member; and

a connection element provided on the assembly member and disposed in connection with a locking element of a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is configured on the articulated lever of the guide so that the locking element is movable in a linear manner, wherein the connection element urges the securing member from the first position to a second position such that the pivoting range of the guide is released, and the guide reaches the closed position from the opened position, and wherein the spring member is connected to the locking element such that the locking element is spring-loaded by the spring member;

wherein, in the first position of the securing member, a pivoting range of the guide is delimited by the securing member such that the guide is not capable of being moved from the opened position to the closed position,

wherein, in the second position of the securing member, the pivoting range of the guide is released such that the guide is moved from the opened position to the closed position, and

wherein, when the guide is connected to the assembly member, the locking element is urged to a locking position with the connection element by the spring-force of the spring member.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the securing member is movably disposed on the articulated lever in a pivoting manner.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the spring member is a leg spring.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the securing member is disposed on a first articulated lever of the guide, and in the first position, the securing member couples to a second articulated lever of the guide such that the guide is not capable of being moved from the opened position to the closed position.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the securing member comprises a latching element that latches to the second articulated lever in the first position.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the securing member has a detent member on which a connection element acts when the guide is connected to the assembly member, wherein the detent member and the latching element are mutually spaced apart.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the second articulated lever has a latching member that couples to the latching element of the securing member.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the latching member is an integral part of the second articulated lever.

9. An item of furniture comprising the device of claim 1 .
