Abstract

A device is proposed for moving a furniture flap received on a furniture body of a piece of furniture having a spring-force unit, which assists the opening and/or the closing of the furniture flap by a predetermined force action of the spring-force unit via an adjusting arm engaging with the furniture flap in the mounted state. According to the invention, an electrically switchable adjusting unit is provided, which is coupled to the spring-force unit in such a way that a movement of the spring-force unit into a predetermined adjustment position of the spring-force unit on the piece of furniture occurs by a switching of the adjusting unit in the mounted state of the device so that a degree of force action of the spring-force unit on the furniture flap can be adjusted in dependence on the adjustment position of the spring-force unit.
