RETURN PREVENTING DEVICE FOR PREVENTING RETURN KICK OF A FIRST SPRING LOADED FURNITURE PIECE

摘要

The invention relates to a return-preventing device for preventing return kick of a first spring-loaded furniture piece. This first furniture piece is pivotingly mounted on a second furniture piece. The angle of inclination between the two furniture pieces can be regulated by clamping a threaded spindle (3'). Said threaded spindle is firmly fixed to one of the furniture pieces. It is also mounted in a nut part on the other furniture piece, in such a way that is not self-locking. The threaded spindle or the nut part are configured as a rotating piece, and are fitted in a housing (2) on a furniture piece. An actuating mechanism is used to apply force to clamping jaws (16, 16') which act on the threaded spindle, thus clamping said threaded spindle (3, 3'). The actuating mechanism is stored in or on the housing (2). Furthermore, the rotationally lodged piece at least partially has an external toothed ring (4) or catch hook, with which a catch piece, having a suitable abutment and mobilely stored on the housing, can be brought to mesh. The actuating mechanism is connected with a catch release mechanism.
