Actuator for a flap on an item of furniture

摘要

An actuator for a flap on an item of furniture includes at least one actuating arm that is mounted to pivot between a closed position and an open position in order to move the flap, a spring device for acting on the actuating arm, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the force of the spring device onto the actuating arm. An adjustment device allows the transmission mechanism to be shifted between at least two operating positions. In a first operating position, the spring device applies a closing force, in the direction of the closed position, onto the actuating arm which is in an opening position immediately upstream of said closed position. In a second operating position, when said actuating arm is in the aforementioned, immediately-upstream opening position, the spring device exerts a force which acts in the direction of the open position.

主权项

1. An actuator for a flap of an article of furniture comprising:
at least one actuating arm mounted pivotably between a closed position and an open position to move the flap; a spring device for acting on the actuating arm; a transmission mechanism for transmitting the force of the spring device to the actuating arm; and a shifting device, by which the transmission mechanism is displaceable between at least two operating positions, wherein in a first operating position, the spring device acts on the actuating arm in an open position immediately preceding the closed position with a closing force in the direction of the closed position, and wherein in a second operating position, the spring device exerts a force acting in the direction of the open position in the immediately preceding open position of the actuating arm, and wherein the transmission mechanism has at least two levers connected together by way of a hinge axis, and the position of the hinge axis is displaceable by the shifting device.
