Abstract:
1. A coupling arrangement comprising: a drive including a pulling member wound on a roller driven by a motor such that a notional line of action of said drive is orthogonal to an axis of rotation of said roller; and a coupling portion for releasably connecting a movable furniture part to said drive, said coupling portion including a first coupling part to be mounted to the movable furniture part and a second coupling part mounted to said drive, said first coupling part being releasably coupled to said second coupling part, a free end of said pulling member being connected to said second coupling part; wherein said drive further includes a housing having a window for allowing said pulling member to extend from said housing, said window being larger than a cross-section of said pulling member so as to allow said second coupling part to have limited movement in a direction orthogonal to the notional line of action of said drive so as to compensate for positional tolerances.
