Abstract:
The invention relates to a furniture hinge (100), comprising at least one control cam (3, 13) and at least one spring (2, 12), wherein the control cam (3, 13) moves along on the spring (2, 12) in order to produce a closing force and/or opening force, wherein a sliding element (1, 11, 21, 31) is attached to the spring (2, 12) and/or to the control cam (3, 13). The control cam (3, 13) or the spring (2, 12) moves along on the sliding element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a furniture damper for damping a movement of a movably mounted part of a piece of furniture or a movably mounted component of a furniture fitting, comprising a piston arranged in a fluid chamber, a damping action being carried out by a relative movement between the fluid chamber and the piston, in addition to a sealing device for sealing the fluid chamber, said sealing device comprising a first abutment element and a second abutment element that is movably mounted in relation to the first abutment element and designed to seal the fluid chamber. A spring is arranged between the first abutment element and the second abutment element, said spring being compressible by the relative movement of the first abutment element and the second abutment element essentially up to the thickness of the cross-section of the spring.
Abstract:
A hinge for a packaging or cargo box or the like, having a first and a second hinge leaf, the second hinge leaf has a first bushing and a second bushing located at a distance therefrom, between which a bushing of the first hinge leaf can be rotated about a mutual hinge axis. An axial tube is rotationally fixed to the bushing of the first hinge leaf and is pivot-supported in the bushings of the second hinge leaf. A torsion spring is disposed in the axial tube and attached to one end of the axial tube. A torque support connects the other end of the torsion spring to the second hinge leaf in a rotationally fixed manner. A damper for the hinge movement is connected to the second hinge leaf and the axial tube. In a cylindrical hollow space of an outer opening, formed by the three bushings (65a, 65b, 65c), the damper (56), the axial tube (53) containing the torsion spring (58), and the torque support (54a) are inserted successively starting at the second bushing (65b) of the second hinge leaf (52), and the torque support (54a) is prevented from rotating and from being axially displaced in the second bushing (65b) by a safety device (54d, 68a, 70, 72).
Abstract:
Damping movement device of pieces of furniture which are movable relative to stationary parts. The device has a cylinder with a piston movable in a longitudinal direction, forming a modifiable working chamber filled with liquid medium. The liquid medium is transferred in a throttled manner. A piston rod is sealingly guided and connected to one side of the piston. The movement of the parts of furniture which is to be damped is transmitted to the piston via the outer end of the piston rod facing away from the piston. A volume compensating mechanism is provided. The piston rod is coupled to the piston with overflow ports. The non-return disk with overflow port is moved into sealing contact with the facing piston face. A spring biasing the facing faces of the non-return disk and the piston into the spaced-apart position is arranged between the non-return disk and the piston.
Abstract:
A sliding door apparatus for opening and closing an opening in a wall. A sliding door apparatus including a longitudinally extending track member mountable along an upper edge of an opening and a door movably mountable on the track member for sliding movement thereon between opened and closed positions. A damping structure is disposed within the track member and is actuatable in response to the sliding movement of the door to break the door's movement as it approaches its opened and closed positions.
Abstract:
A damping device comprises an axle, a housing, a unidirectional member, and a damping oil. The unidirectional member in cross section is formed like a T-shape, and a top portion thereof is formed as an arc to cooperate with the housing's inner wall. Where the unidirectional member contains a U-shaped slot is defined oil holes interlaced with the gap of the first slot wall. The lifting of the cover generates little damping and the closing thereof generates a variable and yet optimal damping. The undersized unidirectional member also adds strength to the structure. The diminished cross-section of the unidirectional member contributes to a smaller U-shaped slot.
Abstract:
An end-stop damper including a damper body in the form of a cylinder, wherein a piston is guided so that it is displaceable in the cylinder receiving chamber. An air pressure is formed in the receiving chamber produces a braking force acting on the piston during its displacement. The receiving chamber includes at least one pressure reducing opening and the piston includes a bellows section which is actively connected to the cylinder according to pressure conditions in the receiving chamber. This invention substantially simplifies the structural design of the end-stop damper because the piston and the bellows section are connected to each other so that they are formed in one piece.
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:
A furniture hinge, comprising a fitting part and a hinge cup that is pivotably connected thereto by way of at least one articulated lever, the articulated lever being connected to the hinge cup by way of an articulated axis (A), and further comprising a cushioning apparatus which can be actuated by an actuating element and is provided to cushion a relative movement between the fitting part and the hinge cup, the actuating element being mounted inside the hinge cup rotatably about a rotational axis (S) extending substantially parallel to the articulated axis (A) of the hinge cup, and the cushioning apparatus comprising at least one linear cushioning member having at least one linearly displaceable plunger, said member being disposed on the outside of the hinge cup, characterized in that a transmission mechanism is provided, which converts a rotary movement of the actuating element into a linear movement of the plunger of the linear cushioning member, and the hinge cup and the linear cushioning member or members disposed on the hinge cup are all disposed inside a cylindrical bore (B) in the furniture part in the installed position.
Abstract:
A progressive damping device for furniture is designed to prevent impacts between the mobile parts of furniture provided with self-closing systems, and provides progressive closure according to the speed and energy acquired in the closure. The damping device generally includes a cylinder in which a dynamic fluid circulates, and in the interior of which there is displaced a piston which has a rod provided with an elastoplastic valve, which delimits respective compression and expansion chambers.
