Abstract: A power swing door drive actuator for moving a passenger swing door relative to a body portion of a motor vehicle. The power swing door actuator includes a housing, a motor operably mounted to the housing, and a leadscrew of a spindle drive mechanism rotatably driven by the motor for causing relative translational movement of a drive nut relative to the leadscrew which, in turn, results in the vehicle door swinging between open and closed positions in response to selective actuation of the motor. A first articulation joint unit couples an elongate extensible member fixed to the drive nut to the vehicle body while a second articulation joint unit couples the housing to the vehicle door.

Abstract: A closing device includes an actuator mechanism and a hydraulic damper mechanism. The actuator mechanism includes a pushrod urged by a resilient member towards its extended position. The hydraulic damper mechanism includes a piston, a first rack and pinion gearing for converting the translational motion of the pushrod into a rotational motion of a first pinion, a transmission, which includes a second rack and pinion gearing, between the first pinion and the piston for transmitting and converting the rotational motion of the first pinion into a translational motion of the piston, a one-way valve allowing fluid flow from a first side to a second side of the cylinder cavity when opening the hinged member, and a restricted fluid passage between the first and second sides of the cylinder cavity. The transmission provides together with the pinions of the first and second rack and pinion gearings a reduction gearing between the pushrod and the piston so that the piston reciprocates over a smaller distance than the pushrod.

The hook mechanism (16) includes a hook element (26) engaged or engageable with a recess (28) in a closed state of said door (12), so that the hook element (26) and the recess (28) form a snap-in mechanism. The hook element (26) is disengaged or disengageable from the recess (28) by operating a control element or said hook element (26). The door hinge (14) includes a stationary hinge part (18) and a pivoting hinge part (20). The stationary hinge part (18) is provided for a support structure of the domestic appliance (10), while the pivoting hinge part (20) is provided for the pivoting door (12). The stationary hinge part (18) is arranged or arrangeable horizontally inside or at the support structure of the domestic appliance (10). The stationary hinge part (18) comprises a first spring element (22) and a second spring element (24) provided for generating horizontal forces in the mounted state of the door hinge (14) at the domestic appliance (10). The first spring element (22) is provided for keeping the door (12) balanced within an outer opening angular range of said door (12). The second spring element (24) is provided for generating an opening force for the door (12) within an inner opening angular range, so that the door (12) is pushed into a partially opened state. The inner opening angular range extends between a closed state and the partially opened state of the door (12). The outer opening angular range extends between the partially opened state and a completely opened state of the door (12).
