Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantage of such a switching element is the fact that the neutral position of the operating element (without triggering the drive) - in which the furniture part is in its closed position - is relatively uncertain and may be substantially in the Any position on the characteristic curve of the accumulator may be located on the defined path
This also results in poor operating comfort, since most users feel comfortable when the operating element can be actuated at precisely defined switching points

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The invention makes use of the fact that when at least two accumulators 2a, 2b for loading the operating element 3 are provided, by changing the number of accumulators 2a, 2b for loading the operating element, it is possible to specify a position S 2 Instead, a specific switching point of the switching element 1 is determined.

[0020] first position S 1 For example at the beginning of the path S that can be traversed by the actuating element 3 , that is to say when the actuating element 3 is fully extended and is not charged by the energy stores 2 a , 2 b. However the position S 1 Most of the time it is not important for the invention since the furniture part 8 is in this case outside its closed position in the installed state of the switching element 1 on or in the piece of furniture. The operating element 3 assumes this position, for example, when the user lifts the furniture part 8 from the furniture body and then moves it further away from the furniture body by ...

Abstract

A furniture has a movable furniture part and a drive device. The drive device has a control or adjustment device, a motor and a switch component. The switch component has an interface or electric lines through which the switch component is connected to the control or adjustment device; an actuating element which is mounted movably along a path, and the furniture part in a closed position thereof bearing against the actuating element of the switch component, two switches arranged along a provision path and turned-on / off by the actuating element, the signals thereof being conveyed to the interface or the electric lines; at least two energy accumulators for loading the actuating element, wherein at least one is configured to be a spring. The number of the energy accumulators for loading the actuating element changes at a provision position of the path, thus a gradient of a specific curve. A position in the path forms switching points of the switch component. The drive device is not only triggered by continuously pushing the furniture part from the close position to the switching point but also triggered by pulling the furniture part from the close position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a switching element with an actuating element that can be loaded by an energy store and is mounted displaceably over a defined path, and also to a movable furniture part with A drive device for a control or regulating device and a piece of furniture with a movable furniture part and the drive device. Background technique [0002] Switching elements are often used here, for example, such that the movable furniture part rests against the operating element in its closed position, so that a pulling or pressing force exerted by the user on the furniture part causes a movement of the operating element. [0003] For example, it is known to form the energy store as a compression spring and the operating element can be arranged relative to the energy store in such a way that when the furniture part is in the closed position, the loading effect of the compression spring is overcome by the furniture part abutting against the operating ele...
