Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuation device for pull-outs, shelf boards, flaps, or other such elements to be opened, particularly front elements of particularly kitchen and office furniture, kitchen appliances and flush-mounted appliances, product dispensing devices, and the like, having components comprising a corpus, wherein the element to be opened can be transferred into an open position relative to the corpus 2 by way of a drive unit 5, the drive unit 5 can be activated by way of control means, and the control means comprise a front body sound sensor 6 that is associated with the front element 3. In order to create an actuation device, the front surface of which is to be configured in a manner that is free of impairment, the control means have a second corpus body sound sensor 7 (solid body sound sensor) that is disposed at a distance from the front body sound sensor 6 in or on the corpus interior 4, wherein the corpus sound signals of the front body sound sensor 6 and of the corpus body sound sensor 7 can be compared to each other in an analysis unit of the control means, and the drive unit 5 can be activated by way of the control means as a function of the result of the signal comparison.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A cover opening-closing apparatus includes a base member having a guide groove, a cover member that is provided with a guide cylinder part disposed so as to be freely movable in the guide groove, a first contact member that contacts the guide cylinder part and moves when the cover member is located at the open position, a second contact member that contacts the guide cylinder part and moves when the cover member is located at the closed position, and a single spring that urges the first contact member moving at the opened position toward the guide cylinder part and urges the second contact member moving at the closed position toward the guide cylinder part.
Abstract:
A space-saving slide cover lifting structure consisting of a pair hinges, a pair of sliding rail holders, a pair of plastic slide guides, a pair of sliding rails, a pair of gears and a pair of gear racks is disclosed. The gear racks are respectively accommodated in the sliding rails to reduce space occupation, minimizing the width of the assembly of the gear rack and the respective sliding rail. The arrangement of the plastic slide guides prohibits direction contact between the metal sliding rails and the sliding rail holders, avoiding friction noise.
Abstract:
Furniture hinge with damping device which is insertable into the box of the hinge and fixable therein before the box is assembled with the other components of the hinge. In this way the damping device is protected against external actions, such as impact or pressure that can damage or affect the functioning of the device, by the same box made of steel or of another rigid material.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a main body defining a storage chamber, a door opening and closing the storage chamber, and a pivot guide unit connecting the door to the main body and varying a distance between a pivot shaft of the door and the main body in response to a pivot motion of the door.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a gear unit (1) having a drive element (10) with a first tooth structure (11), an output element (20) with a second tooth structure (21), wherein the tooth structures (11, 21) are able to be brought into engagement cogging with each other to form a gearing in at least one engagement area (X) of the second tooth structure (21), and wherein the output element (20) has at least one uncoupling area (Y), in which the cogging engagement of the gearing is uncoupled. The invention provides that the first tooth structure (11) has at least one first modified tooth element (11a) and the second tooth structure (21) has at least one second modified tooth element (21a), wherein by a movement of the drive element (10), synchronization of the second modified tooth element (21a) with the first modified tooth element (11a) is possible in order to create a change from the uncoupled state to the engagement state.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a platform door device in which two movable fences 33, which are provided along the side edge 30a of a station platform 30 for getting on and off a car and each supported movably by a support member 32, move relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the platform 30 to open and close a passage between the platform side and the car side, wherein the platform door device is configured so that the two support members 32 are erected on the platform 30 and are housed in the two movable fences 33; the two support members 32 are housed in the two movable fences 33; and each of the support members 32 is arranged in a plane in the thickness direction of each of the movable fences 33 so as to be covered with the movable fence 33, by which the movable fence 33 can be moved relatively between the inner surface thereof and the outer surface of the support member 32.
Abstract:
A system and method for driving a drawer of a refrigerator and a refrigerator employing this system is provided. This system and method allows the drawer to substantially immediately and automatically stop when the drawer encounters an obstacle. This type of automatic control of the drawer may enhance the safe operation of the drawer, prevent injuries to users, and prevent overload and subsequent malfunction of a drive motor used to move the drawer.
Abstract:
A door driving apparatus having a motor, a sleeve formed at a drive end of a rotor of the motor, a pinion integrally fixed to a rotation shaft integrated with a spline shaft detachably fitted to the sleeve, and left and right racks disposed opposite to each other with respect to the pinion and engaged with the pinion so that the left and right racks can move in directions substantially parallel and opposite to each other. When the motor is individually removed from a rack and pinion casing, the pinion is left in the pinion and rack casing while upper and lower sides of the pinion are engaged with the right and left racks, respectively. Accordingly, the relative positions of the left and right racks are unchanged.
