Abstract:
A hinge includes a housing. A sliding cam slideably received in the housing defines concave portions and an axial hole. A rotatable cam mating with the sliding cam has a base portion extending downward to form pushing portions disposed in the concave portions. The base portion defines an accommodating hole. A spring is slideably received in the housing. One end of the spring is fixed on the sliding cam and the other end of the spring is fixed at an end of the housing. A shaft received in the housing runs through the axial hole and the spring. An end of the shaft is received in the accommodating hole, and the other end of the shaft passes through the end of the housing. A first stop has a bottom surface whose part extends downward to form a blocking portion, and the rest part of the bottom surface is defined as a revolving platform. A second stop engaging with the rotatable cam has a top surface protruding upward to form a pushing block rotatablely disposed on the revolving platform. And a cap rotatablely receives the first stop and the second stop.

Abstract:
A hinge apparatus includes a hinge and a damper. The damper includes a damping shell, a damping body, an outer gasket and a pushing body, damping oil is filled in the damper. The damping shell has a cylinder-shaped shell body, a cover is formed in the top of the shell body, a sleeve is formed in the shell body, and an annual groove is defined between the shell body and the sleeve. The damping body has a bottom base, an annular sidewall, and a recess defined between the bottom base and the annular sidewall. The annular sidewall is received in the annual groove. The sleeve is received in the recess. Inner grooves are opened in the inside of the annular sidewall, outer grooves are opened in the outside of the annular sidewall. The outer gasket around the annular sidewall and below the outer grooves, the outer gasket is against the inside of the shell body. The pushing body is capable of pushing the damping body to rotate under the elastic force of the hinge.
Abstract:
A furniture hinge with equipment comprises a toggle-type hinge (H) and a shock absorber (B). The latter is either a rotary (a first approach) or a line (a second approach) shock absorber. Irrespective of the approach, said shock absorber (B) is arranged transversely to a major longitudinal axis of the toggle-type hinge (H) and bound to a hinge pot. Thus, the invention concerns a new use of a rotary shock absorber, a new incorporation of a line shock absorber into a toggle-type furniture hinge, and a new combination of said toggle-type hinge and said rotary and line shock absorbers, respectively, said combination concerning the above two objects.
Abstract:
A drive device for a hatch of a vehicle, wherein the device includes a first housing part which can be connected to a stationary component or to a movable component, a second housing part, a third housing part which is telescopically guided in the second housing part with an axial freedom of movement and which can be connected to the other of the movable component or the stationary component. A spindle drive comprising a threaded spindle and a spindle nut is mounted on the threaded spindle, by which the third housing part can be driven by a rotary drive and, thus, moved axially with respect to the second housing part. The drive device also includes a brake device, where the brake device comprises a centrifugal force brake.
Abstract:
An automotive vehicle includes one or more swinging doors which may be immobilized in a number of positions, so as to allow the doors to be used to assist passengers upon entering and leaving the vehicle. The motion of the door may be damped, or stopped entirely, either at the discretion of a vehicle occupant, or automatically, in the event that the door is driven by external forces to swing at a high rate.
Abstract:
Provided are a home bar and a refrigerator including the home bar. The home bar includes a home-bar frame, a home-bar door, and a damping hinge. The home-bar frame is mounted on a refrigerator door around an opening formed through the refrigerator door. The home-bar door is rotatably mounted on the home-bar frame for selectively opening and closing the opening. The damping hinge is detachably installed on the home-bar frame and is coupled to a side of the home-bar door for dampening a rotation force of the home-bar door. Therefore, the home bar can be easily repaired or replaced with low costs.
Abstract:
A hinge structure having leaf portions with adjustable clamping force arm includes a leaf structure and a pintle. The leaf structure includes a C-shaped barrel portion, and a first and a second leaf portion connected to and extended from two opposite axial edges of the barrel portion. Free ends of the first and second leaf portions are bound together by at least one leaf locating element. With the leaf locating element functioning as a fulcrum, a clamping force arm section is defined on each leaf portion between the fulcrum and the barrel portion. The pintle is rotatably received in the barrel portion with a predetermined rolling friction existed between them. The predetermined rolling friction is adjustable through mounting at least one adjusting element to the two clamping force arm sections.
Abstract:
A sliding assisting apparatus includes a main body provided on a base or a movable body, and having a pair of sliders disposed in a case; lock members formed on the sliders; coupling parts provided on the case to couple/uncouple with the lock members; a forcing device provided between the two sliders to accumulate a biasing force when one of the sliders is slid to move away from the other; a pair of strikers provided on the base or the movable body; and a switch between a case restrained position and a case restraint released position. One striker is disposed between the first and second sliding positions to cause the movable body to slide toward the first sliding position, and a second striker is disposed closer to the second sliding position than the first striker to cause the movable body to slide toward the second sliding position.
Abstract:
A drive for pivoting a flap on a body of a vehicle about a pivot axis, with a drive motor, by means of which an output driving the flap pivotably can be driven rotatably via a drive train having an epicyclic gear. The epicyclic gear has a sun gear, an internally toothed rim, a planet gear which is in engagement with the sun gear and the internally toothed rim, and a planet carrier which carries the planet gear and which is connected fixedly in terms of rotation to a shaft coaxial with respect to the axis of rotation of the planet carrier. The rotational movement of a component of the epicyclic gear can be braked by a brake. In particular, the brake can stop the rotational movement of the internally toothed rim, the sun gear can be driven rotatably by the drive motor, and the shaft of the planet carrier can form the output.
