Abstract

The invention concerns a braking device with closing servo control for movable cabinet/furniture parts, such as drawers, cabinet and furniture doors, etc. The device includes a casing located on either a fixed or movable cabinet/furniture component and this casing has a pull-in device located within it, which has a mechanical energy store, and a connected movable control element is also located within the casing, and a driving pin that is always located on the other cabinet/furniture components and works together with the control element. This pull-in device that works as a closing servo control after the braking process, is shown, in that, in the casing between the energy store and the control element, there is a connected braking element that is guided and movable. The braking device, thus, forms a unit with the pull-in device and is controlled likewise by the driving pin.
