Abstract:
A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage chamber. A door is positioned on the cabinet and is movable between a closed position and an open position. A door opener includes a casing, a push screw extending through the casing towards the door and a motor in operative communication with the push screw. The motor is configured to move the push screw when the motor is activated. The motor rotates a drive gear when the motor is activated and the push screw reciprocates generally along a linear direction when the motor is activated.
Abstract:
An exemplary indicator mechanism is configured for use with a door closer including a body and an adjustment screw. The indicator mechanism generally includes an indicator, at least one indicium, and a cycloidal drive. The cycloidal drive is configured to selectively align the indicator and the at least one indicium in response to rotation of the adjustment screw to thereby indicate an operating characteristic of the door closer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a panic bar with a door closer, the panic bar having a locking device installed at a front end of a case and a door closer provided at a rear end of the case. The locking device is released upon pushing of the push bar provided in the case. An air cylinder is installed inside the case. A guide member is installed in one side of the air cylinder and a cylinder sealing cap is installed in the other side of the air cylinder. One side of a piston rod having a piston for compressing and expanding air inside the air cylinder passes through the guide member. A spring disposed between the piston and the guide member is installed on the piston rod.
Abstract:
A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a food storage chamber. A door is positioned on the cabinet and is movable between a closed position and an open position. A door opener includes a casing, a gear box, a sliding nut movable relative to the gear box, and a finger extending through the gear box. The finger is movable with the sliding nut. The door opener also includes a sensor. The finger extends outside of the casing to contact an inner surface of the door when the door is in the closed position and the door opener is in a zero position. The sensor is configured to detect movement of the door opener from the zero position.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a foldable display device. A foldable display device includes a display panel on a first cover and a second cover and at least one hinge that connects the first cover and the second cover and the hinge includes a fixing frame, a pair of hinge shafts that passes through the fixing frame, a pair of rotating plates that is fixed to one end of the pair of hinge shafts and fixed to the first cover and the second cover to rotate together with the first cover and the second cover, and a pair of first holding members that is coupled to the pair of hinge shafts between the fixing frame and the pair of rotating plates and controls a folding angle of the first cover and the second cover by a magnetic force, thereby permanently implementing a holding force.
Abstract:
A drive for a rotatable wing, the drive including an electric motor, a transmission, an output shaft, which is coupled to the electric motor by means of the transmission and can be coupled to the wing in order to move the wing between a closed position and an open position by means of the electric motor, and a force device for applying a force to the output shaft. The drive can have a compact design in that the force on the output shaft produces a torque that has a threshold value which must be overcome in the currentless state of the electric motor in order to move the wing from the closed position to the open position and that disappears in the open position of the wing, and/or in that the force device has a spring arranged transversely to the axis of the drive shaft of the electric motor and transversely to the axis of the output shaft.
Abstract:
A cover is fitted to an aperture in an enclosure. A biasing mechanism is connected to the cover to mechanically bias the cover in an open position. An adhesive member is disposed around the aperture to retain the cover in a closed position against the bias of the biasing mechanism. A release mechanism effects release of the cover from the adhesive member by diminishing adhesion thereof in response to an open command signal.
Abstract:
In a lid device opening and closing a fuel lid of a vehicle by a push-push mechanism, a common push lifter can be applied in both cases with and without a mechanism for locking the fuel lid at a closed position. The lid device (20) indirectly locks the fuel lid (10) at the closed position by controlling a displacement of a push rod (22) protruding and retracting from a push lifter unit (24). In order to control the displacement of the push rod (22), an engagement member (56) engaging the push rod (22) is movably supported in a housing (54) of a drive unit (26), and the push lifter (24) and the drive unit (26) are formed as separate members.
Abstract:
A damping device with damper is arranged on a first part of a piece of furniture or furniture fitting, operable by a second part of a piece of furniture or furniture fitting thus damping a relative movement of both parts. The damping effect of the damper may be deactivated by a switchable coupling switched by a preferably manually operated switch body.
Abstract:
A hinge structure includes a first shaft, a second shaft, a pivot base and a position-limiting mechanism. The first and second shafts are pivoted on the pivot base. The position-limiting mechanism includes a first position-limiting portion, a second position-limiting portion and a position-limiting component. The first position-limiting portion is fixed to the first shaft. The second position-limiting portion is fixed to the second shaft. The position-limiting component is slidably disposed on the pivot base and has first and second ends opposite to each other. When the position-limiting component moves to a first position, the first end and the first position-limiting portion interfere with each other to stop the first shaft and the pivot base from rotating relatively. When the position-limiting component moves to a second position, the second end and the second position-limiting portion interfere with each other to stop the second shaft and the pivot base from rotating relatively.
