Abstract:
A sliding assist mechanism includes a case (1) attached to one of a main body (7) and a mobile body (A); a latch (4) movably disposed in the case and switched between a standby state in which the latch is locked in the case and a retracted state in which the locking is released; a biasing device (3) for biasing the latches in one direction; and an operation member (8) attached to the other of the main body (7) and the mobile body. When the latch (4) is switched.from the standby state to the retracted state, the sliding assist mechanism allows the mobile body to move from a first position to a second position on a main body side through the operation member (8) by biasing force accumulated in the biasing means (3). Essential parts of the mechanism include an engagement portion (42) at a normal time when the latches (4) engage the operation members (8) by interlocking the switching from the standby state to the retracted state, and an auxiliary engagement device (47) releasably engages the operation members (8) when the latch comes to the retracted state in a non-engaged state of the operation member relative to the engagement portion. A repairing structure can be further simplified by such sliding assist mechanism.
Abstract:
The within invention relates to a household appliance, particularly a refrigerating and/or freezing device, with at least one door, through which the interior of the device can be closed, and with at least one door closure system that comprises the following components: at least one means of closure that moves the door into its closed position, at least one damping device that opposes a counterforce and thus dampens the door movement, at least one movable carriage connected with the closure system such that the means of closure is moved into a pre-tensioned state by the carriage when the door is opened, as well as at least one interlocking component connected with the damping device and with the means of closure such that the means of closure can be fixed by the interlocking component in its pre-tensioned state, whereby the carriage and the interlocking component are designed such that they are coupled together by means of a first movement section of the door and are decoupled from each other by means of a second movement section of the door.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a roller for slidably mounting a panel such as a shower door to a rail or to a similar structure. The roller comprises a first cylindrical portion including a rolling surface for engaging the rail and a second cylindrical portion fixedly securable to the shower door panel. The second portion is concentrically mounted to the first portion and is rotatable relative thereto. A resilient member such as a tension spring connects the first portion to the second portion and stores a potential energy when a user moves the shower door in one direction and automatically urges the shower door to move in the opposite direction when released by the user. The invention also relates to a roller assembly comprising a roller and a rail.
Abstract:
In an acceleration and deceleration device which includes at least one energy storage device and a cylinder with at least one piston movably disposed in the cylinder and moved therein by a carrier element and a sliding door including a slidable door panel provided with an acceleration and deceleration device, a second carrier element is provided guiding either the first piston or the second piston for movement in the cylinder so as to control the movement of pistons and of the sliding door neat its end positions.
Abstract:
The system foresees for each plate (1) an autonomous mechanical structure composed of one section bar (3) connected to a gripper that holds a plate (1) as well as of another section bar (10) and at least two support arms (5, 5′, 6, 6′) hinged upon said section bars (3, 10); the structure is fixed to a section bar (9) that is in turn fixed to the display counter or window near the base of the tank; the support arms (5, 5′, 6, 6′) differ in length; two supports (4, 4′, 11, 11′) are fixed to each section bar (3, 10); said supports constitute the hinge members upon which the ends of the support arms (5, 5′, 6, 6′) fit; each plate (1) can both move in a parallelogram motion with translation parallel to the display counter or window, and open like a casement window using the pin (7) of the shorter support arm (5, 5′) as a pivot; the system also contains a spring closing mechanism and a lock (18).
Abstract:
A guide mechanism for a door comprises a first guide unit and a second guide unit; the first guide unit is coupled to a second side frame plate at an opening end of a casing; the second guide unit is coupled to a movable side of the door; the second guide unit is disposed with a groove, a upside of an outer end of the groove is disposed with a propping inclined face; an inner end of the propping inclined face is lower than an outer end thereof ; the movable side of the door will then not incline downward when the groove accepts the first guide unit and the first guide unit is propped against a upside of an inner side of the groove.
Abstract:
A vehicle door actuating device for a vehicle includes an actuator device disposed on one of a vehicle door and a door frame of the vehicle. A bumper is disposed on the other of the vehicle door and the door frame opposite the actuator device. A door sensor is disposed on the vehicle that measures door position and door movement. A controller receives data from the door sensor relating to the door position and door movement and activates the actuator device when the vehicle is in a parked position. The controller instructs the actuator device to repel the bumper to assist a user in opening the vehicle door and attract the bumper to assist a user in closing the vehicle door during closure.
Abstract:
A catcher (2) provided in a door frame H′ for capturing a striker body 1 moved from a near front side F when a door D′ is rotated toward a reference position; a braking device (5); and a linkage device (3) for both are provided. The catcher (2) is provided to be reciprocatingly rotatable between a standby position and a rotated position, captures the striker body (1) at the standby position, and rotates forward to the rotated position. Braking of the braking device (5) is applied to a rotation toward the rotated position of the catcher (2) through the linkage gear member (30).
Abstract:
A controlled closure system for a sliding element of a piece of furniture, comprises an elongated body provided in which is a rectilinear groove passing through the body and extended axially in the closure direction. An engagement element slides along the groove to move from a first idle position to a second closure position through the action of a spring. The engagement element comprises abutment surfaces to delimit, between them, a seat intended to accommodate a drawing projection integral with the sliding element. Suitable sliding surfaces between the engagement element and the groove cause the rotation of the engagement element when it is in the idle position in such a manner to lower the front abutment surface towards a groove and allow the passage of the drawing projection towards the closure until it pushes against the rear abutment surface and rotate the engagement element to raise the front abutment surface and draw the projection towards the closed position of the sliding element of a piece of furniture.
Abstract:
A door closure device that comprises a mounting member having a top surface, a bottom surface, two side surfaces, a back surface and a front surface. The door closure device also includes at least one magnetic member mounted on the mounting member, such that it is recessed in the front surface of the mounting member. The device further includes at least one damping device mounted on the mounting member adjacent to the at least one magnetic member, wherein a portion of the at least one damping device protrudes from the front surface of the mounting member, past the at least one magnetic member on a front face thereof.
