US Patent 7331557 Furniture drive embodied as a double drive

A furniture drive which is embodied as a double drive and used to move parts of a piece of furniture in relation to each other. The furniture drive comprises two drive units, each one having a linearly movable drive element for pivoting a pivot lever which co-operates with a part to be moved of the piece of furniture when the furniture drive is in the assembly position. The linearly movable drive element or an actuating element connected thereto comprises a recess into which the pivot lever projects in the radial direction thereof when the furniture drive is in the assembled position. An inner wall of the recess forms a bearing surface for the pivot lever. The furniture drive has a low overall height and a simple design, and can thus be produced economically.
