Closure device for movable furniture parts

Abstract

A closure device for movable furniture parts is combined with a closure damping mechanism, which is formed by a fluid damper. The fluidic damper is either a rotational damper or a linear damper. When opening the drawer the closure device will move independently of the closure damping mechanism.

1 . A closure device for movable furniture parts with a displaceable slide, acted upon by a spring, which can be detachably coupled via a catch member with a furniture part, and with a fluid damper which dampers movement of the slide towards the closed position, characterised in that the fluid damper is separated from the slide and is provided with a stop which is abutted by the slide during its closing movement.  
     
     
         2 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the fluid damper comprises a cylinder and a piston linearly displaceable in said cylinder with a piston rod having a free end, said free end acting as said stop.  
     
     
         3 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the slide is provided with a projection which abuts said stop during the closing movement of the slide.  
     
     
         4 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the projection projects side wards of the slide.  
     
     
         5 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said stop is a free end of a drive rod which actuates a rotational damper.  
     
     
         6 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said drive rod is in the form of a rack which meshes with a pinion of said rotational damper.  
     
     
         7 . A closure device for movable furniture parts with a displaceable catch device acted upon by a spring for movably coupling a furniture part, said catch device being moved by said spring into a closed position, a fluid damper being provided which dampers the movement of said catch device into said closed position, wherein said catch device is in the form of a toggle part, said toggle part when moved into the closed position abutting directly an activating part of said fluid damper without being connected thereto.  
     
     
         8 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the toggle part is provided with a notch for engaging an arresting pin of a furniture part, said actuating part of said fluid damper abutting said toggle part next to said notch.  
     
     
         9 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said toggle part is provided with a lateral projection said actuating part of said fluid damper abutting said projection.  
     
     
         10 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the fluid damper comprises a cylinder and a piston linearly displaceable in said cylinder, with a piston rod having a free end, said piston rod acting as said stop.  
     
     
         11 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said stop is a free end of a drive rod which actuates a rotational damper.  
     
     
         12 . A closure device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said drive rod is in the form of a rack which meshes with a pinion of said rotational damper.
