| 20100314981 | IMMOBILIZATION DEVICE FOR LOCKING A FURNITURE PART MOVABLY SUPPORTED IN OR ON A FURNITURE PART - The invention relates to an immobilization device for locking a furniture part that is movably supported in or on a piece of furniture, particularly a drawer, in a closed end position, comprising at least one locking unit, which has a receiving element for an engagement element and a blocking mechanism for the releasable fixation of the receiving element in a position that locks the engagement element when the movable furniture part is in the closed end position, wherein the receiving element or the engagement element is disposed on the furniture and the other element is disposed on the moved furniture part, wherein the locking unit has an overload safety mechanism, which comprises at least two parts connected movably to each other and allows damage-free opening of the movable furniture part even if the receiving element is fixed in a position that locks the engagement element by means of the blocking mechanism. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20100327719 | IMMOBILIZATION DEVICE FOR LOCKING A FURNITURE PART MOVABLY SUPPORTED IN OR ON AN ARTICLE OF FURNITURE - The invention relates to an immobilization device for locking a furniture part that is movably supported in or on a piece of furniture, particularly a drawer, in a closed end position, comprising at least one locking element, which has a receiving element for an engagement element, wherein the receiving element or the engagement element is disposed on the piece of furniture and the other element is disposed on the movable furniture part, and the two elements are operatively connected at least in the closed end position of the movable furniture part, wherein the relative position of the receiving element to the engagement element in the depth of the piece of furniture can be varied in a linear fashion by means of an adjusting unit, which is configured to convert a rotational movement into a translatory movement. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100253193 | Lateral File Drawer And Anti-Tip Device - An anti-tip device for a furniture piece having two drawers within a cabinet, and two keys that move with the drawers along a drawer axis. The keys have primary and secondary top surfaces with a valley therebetween, the valley defining a ledge wall. A lock bar is slidably secured to the cabinet and movable in a direction generally perpendicular to the drawer axis, and biased in a direction from the primary top surface to the bottom surface of each key. The lock bar has slots to receive the keys, and capture surfaces proximate to the slots on the side of the lock bar opposite the drawer. When one drawer is open the other drawer is moved toward the open position, the lock bar moves into the valley of the key so that the ledge wall abuts with the capture surface, thereby preventing further opening of the drawer. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100253192 | DRAWER ASSEMBLY - A drawer construction having a floor element surmounted by a plurality of upstanding sidewalls forming a frame includes one or more reinforced connections between the floor element and one or more of the sidewalls.
