Patent ID: 8905498

Claim:
A retraction device for retracting a movably supported furniture part into a closed end position relative to a furniture carcass, said retraction device comprising: a body having a displacement path and a control curve path, at least a portion of said displacement path being a linear guide path; an entrainment member to be releasably coupled to the movable furniture part, said entrainment member being supported movably along said displacement path; a spring device for applying a closing force to said entrainment member; a displaceable slider connected to said entrainment member so as to move when said entrainment member moves; a spring holder separate from said entrainment member for stressing said spring device, said spring holder being movably supported at or on said entrainment member, said spring holder including: an articulation mounting part; a spring connection portion fixed to said spring device; and a tilting portion pivotally connected to said spring connection portion via said articulation mounting part, said tilting portion having a guide portion engaging said control curve path of said body so as to be supported movably along said control curve path; and a coupling device for motionally coupling said entrainment member and said spring holder together, said coupling device including a pinion-shaped first tooth arrangement integrally formed on said tilting portion of said spring holder and a linear second tooth arrangement on said slider engaging said first tooth arrangement, said coupling device being configured such that: said articulation mounting part of said spring holder fixed to said spring device falls back relative to a position of said entrainment member as said entrainment member is being pulled outwardly in an opening direction; and said spring holder and said entrainment member remain coupled together so that both said entrainment member and said spring holder including said articulation mounting part continue to move in the opening direction at different speeds while said articulation mounting part falls back relative to the position of said entrainment member, a movement of said articulation mounting part of said spring holder being slower than a movement of said entrainment member.
