Abstract:
Damper (1) comprising a cylinder (2) containing a damping fluid, at least one piston (3) translatable within said cylinder and defining two damping chambers (4, 5), and a rod (6) for controlling the movement of said at least one piston (3) within said cylinder (2), said damper further comprising at least one first and at least one second narrow passages (7, 8) through which said damping fluid is forced to pass from one to the other of said two damping chambers (4, 5) when said control rod is controllably moved within said cylinder (2), characterized in that said at least one piston (3) is translatable with respect to said control rod (6) on the basis of the speed of said control rod (6), between a first position (P1), in which said at least one piston (3) prevents said damping fluid from passing through said at least one first narrow passage (7) and a second position (P2) in which said at least one piston (3) allows said damping fluid to pass through said at least one first narrow passage (7), and in that it comprises at least one first elastic member (9) constrained to said at least one piston (3) and deformable and/or displaceable with respect to said at least one piston (3) on the basis of the speed of said at least one control rod (6) to prevent said fluid from passing through said at least one second narrow passage (8), at least when said at least one piston (3) is in said second position (P2).
Abstract:
A hinge (1) for connecting a door to a household appliance compartment is described, comprising a fastening bracket (2) adapted to be fastened to the compartment of said household appliance, a movable support (3) to rotatably constrain said door to said fastening bracket (2), an activating arm (5) coupled to said fastening bracket (2), movement means (6) adapted to move said activating arm (5), said activating arm (5) comprising a first end portion (5a) adapted to be constrained to said door, and a second end portion (5b) fitted to be coupled to said movement means (6) to move said activating arm (5) between an open position (P2) of the door and a closed position (P1) of the door, said movement means (6) comprising an electric motor (10) and reversible connecting means (9) to couple and decouple selectively said electric motor (10) and said second end portion (5b), said hinge (1) being configured so that when said electric motor (10) is coupled to said second end portion (5b), the electric motor (10) causes the movement of the activating arm (5), whereas when said electric motor (10) is decoupled from said second end portion (5b), the movement of the first end portion (5a) occurs independently of the electric motor (10) to allow a user to freely move the door.
Abstract:
A hinge for a closing door of a compartment, of the type having a first and a second body, respectively integral to the door and to the frame of the corresponding compartment, or vice versa, and mutually hinged by at least one pin, first elastic means mounted on the second body and acting upon the first body, and at least one dampening device fixed to the second body, acting upon the first body and actuated by at least a first slider, functionally connected to the dampener, and by at least a second slider, configured for engaging, directly or indirectly, the aforesaid first body in correspondence of at least a certain angular range assumed by the first body with respect to the second body during their relative rotation, whereby the second slider is actuated in translation by the first body when engaged therewith, as well as constraining means between the first slider and the second slider. Advantagiously, the aforesaid constraining means include at least a lever pivoted to the second body, and the aforesaid first and second slider are constrained at least in rotation to one lever.
Abstract:
A hinge (1) for a door opening over a horizontal axis, of the type comprising first and second supports (2, 3) that can be fixed to a compartment structure and to a door, at least rotatably constrained to each other through a pin (10). The hinge (1) comprises a fluidic cylinder-piston damper (9) of the type with internal flow leakage of the fluid contained therein. The damper (9) has a piston (18, 19) with a through-hole (20). The piston (18, 19) can have an appendix (19) that non-sealingly engages a chamber (17) when the door is closed, to increase the dampening. The hinge (1) has elastic means (7) such as a spring, to counteract the falling movement of the door when it is opened. The hinge (1) can be of the cam type, with a cam (4) and an abutment (5).
Abstract:
Hinge for a door which covers at least in part a compartment, of the type comprising a fixed support for coupling to a compartment frame, and a mobile support for coupling to a door, wherein such mobile and fixed support are at least rotatably constrained one to the other. The hinge also comprises a coil spring operatively interposed between the fixed support and the mobile support to impose a predefined law of motion to the mobile support with respect to the fixed support, and an actuator for applying a push or a pull force onto said mobile support with respect to the fixed one.
