Abstract

See full text

An actuating drive for moving a flap of an item of furniture, including: an actuating arm pivotally mounted about a pivoting axis for moving the flap, a spring device for applying a force onto the actuating arm, a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force of the spring device onto the actuating arm in a closing direction and for transmitting a force of the spring device onto the actuating arm, and an adjusting device for adjusting a position of an actuating portion of the actuating drive in or along a guide. The actuating drive includes a coupling device coupling the spring device, the pivoting axis of the actuating arm, and the actuating portion to one another. By adjusting the actuating portion in or along the guide, the position of the dead-center of the actuating arm and the force of the spring device acting towards the opening direction can be variably adjusted.
