Abstract

An apparatus for controlling the movement of a furniture part received movably on a furniture body, including a guide mechanism which acts between the body and the part and with which the part is brought out of a closing state relative to the body, wherein the part is in a position as close as possible to a front side of the body, into an opening state of the part relative to the body, and is moved back into the closing state. In an opening process, the guide mechanism moves the part out of the closing state such that, in a first motion phase, a horizontal distance between the part and the front side of the body increases and, in a subsequent motion phase following the first motion phase, the furniture part is moved linearly onward.
