Abstract:
A runner 5 including a striker 51 in a lower portion; a catcher 6 corresponding to the striker 51 and engaging a movable body 1 in a reference position R; and an urging device 7 storing an urging force when the catcher 6 is in the reference position R, are provided. The catcher 6 in the reference position R captures the striker 51 of the runner 5 stopped and engaged with a rail 2 in a self-propelling start position SA of the movable body 1, and upon this capture, an engagement between the catcher 6 and the movable body 1 is released. At the same time, due to a backward movement of the movable body 1 from the stop position SA, the catcher 6 is positioned in the reference position R again, and releases the striker 51 of the runner 5. An engagement between the runner 5 and the rail 2 is subsequently released.
Abstract:
A catcher member is provided to be movable between a standby position and a retracted position, and at the standby position, while being urged by an urging device, the catcher member is positioned in the standby position by a holding device. When a movable body is moved forward a predetermined movement position, a striker member is caught and engaged with the catcher member positioned in the standby position, and subsequently, holding by the holding device is released, and the catcher member is moved or relatively moved up to the retracted position by being urged by the urging device, so that the urging force is applied to the movable body up to position where the movement ends. An operation device is provided so as to be able to operate to move the catcher member which was moved to the retracted position without catching the striker member, toward the standby position.
Abstract:
A device for controlling the movement of a both motorically and manually movable vehicle part comprises a drive unit controllable in its rotational speed for motorically moving the vehicle part, a coupling device for coupling the drive unit with the vehicle part and a control unit which controls the drive unit and the coupling device such that during manually moving the vehicle part the coupling device couples the drive unit with the vehicle part if the vehicle part has reached a pre-defined position. For this, the control unit (3) controls the rotational speed of the drive unit (2) in dependence on the moving speed of the vehicle part (10). In this way a device and a method are provided which in an easy and low-wear manner allow for a control of the movement of a both motorically and manually movable vehicle part.

The method includes guiding a portion of a cooling-air flow along a portion of an underside of a countertop covering a top of the dishwasher housing both before and after the door is opened to an ajar position.
Abstract:
A damper (1) for furniture parts which are movable relative to one another and/or for furniture fitting components (2, 5, 6, 11, 13, 14) of a furniture fitting, wherein the damper (1) has at least two damping components (8, 9), which are mounted such that they can move relative to each other during a damping stroke, and a damping medium, which is arranged or acts between said damping components (8, 9), and at least one actuating element (7) which is operatively connected to the first damping component (9) at least during the damping stroke of the damper (1), wherein a locking device is arranged between the second damping component (8) and a retaining part (12, 27), wherein the locking device couples the second damping component (8) fixedly to the retaining part (12, 27) during the damping stroke of the damper (1), and wherein, during the return stroke of the damper (1), the locking device decouples the second damping component (8) from the retaining part (12, 27) so as to realize a freewheeling motion such that, during the return stroke of the damper (1), the second damping component (8) moves together with the first damping component (9), wherein the locking device has at least one movably mounted locking element (16, 19, 38) which is spring-loaded in the direction of the locking position, and in the locking position, couples the second damping component (8) to the retaining part (12, 27).
Abstract:
Damping device (10), in particular for damping the motion of movable furniture parts of pieces of furniture, with a piston mounted in a housing (12) in a longitudinally displaceable manner which, in accordance with the displacement position thereof, forms two variable-size working chambers on opposite sides that are filled with a fluidic damping medium. Via at least one overflow-connection, a throttled transfer of the damping medium is possible between the two working chambers, wherein a piston plunger (28), fed in a sealed manner out of the assigned front-facing end of the housing (12), is connected on one side of the piston (14), and wherein via the outer end of said piston plunger (28), facing away from the piston, the motion of the furniture part to be damped is transferred to the piston (14). On the side of the piston (14) opposite the working chamber (26) on the piston plunger side, an elongated adjustment shaft (38) is connected with a diameter essentially corresponding to the diameter of the piston plunger (28), the free end of which is also fed in a sealed manner out of the front face lying opposite the front face that is sealed on the piston plunger side, out of the housing (12). The end of the adjustment shaft (38) connected to the piston (14) engages with a passage duct (42) connecting the two working chambers of the piston (14) and is constructed in such a way as to form a variable-sized throttle cross section in the passage duct (42) by making an adjusting motion of the shaft (38) relative to the piston (14).
Abstract:
An object is to provide a storage in which a door can be attached using a similar hinge without any trouble even at a time when the door is rotated in reverse and attached, the storage includes a main body; a pair of upper and lower hinges attached to the main body; and a door having one side rotatably supported by both the hinges to openably close an opening, at least one of the hinges has two attachment portions which cross each other at right angles in a corner and which are attached to the main body, and two pivot support portions raised from both the attachment portions and provided with a rotary shaft rotatably supporting the door, and both the attachment portions and both the pivot support portions have a shape which is symmetric with respect to a line passing through the corner and forming an angle of 45° with respect to both the attachment portions.
Abstract:
A buffer which can achieve a buffering effect corresponding to the speed of a sliding door is provided. Corresponding to the abutment force of an engagement pin 3 which is on a sliding door 2 with respect to a retaining recessed portion 67 of a hook body 61 which is slidably provided in a case body, an engagement stepped portion 71 of the hook body 61 presses a pressing member 44, and a brake pad 47 of the pressing member 44 and a brake pad 39 of a slider 31 come into sliding contact with a brake plate 28.
Abstract:
