Patent ID: 7861610

Claim:
A furniture drive for displacing parts of a piece of furniture relative to one another, comprising: a) a drive element; b) a pivot shaft; c) the drive element being linearly displaceable along a linear axis of motion, for pivoting the pivot shaft, in use, when the furniture drive is in a mounted position on a piece of furniture, and is operatively connected to a part of the piece of furniture to be displaced; d) the drive element being connected in the manner of a crank mechanism via a rod-shaped power transmission element to the pivot shaft, and one end of which is connected to the drive element in an articulated manner, and the other end of which is connected in an articulated manner to a crank pin of the pivot shaft, a position and distance of the coupling points of the power transmission element on the drive element and the pivot shaft being selected such that the power transmission element, during displacing movement, in use, changes its angular position by more than 20Â°; e) the power transmission element including a guide having a slot extending in a longitudinal direction, and the crank pin of the pivot shaft being displaceably guided along the slot; and the slot being configured for guiding the crank pin when manually displacing one of the parts of the piece of furniture relative to another.
