Abstract:
A vehicle includes a body and a door that is movably mounted to the body. The door has a powered latch and an electrically-powered actuator that extends and retracts a plunger from an inner side of the door. A controller unlatches the powered latch and actuates the electrically-powered actuator such that the plunger contacts the body and pushes the door open. The controller then controls the electrically-powered actuator to retract the plunger while the door is open.
Abstract:
A damper element for damping a translational movement of a component and for causing the component to stop at a stop position includes a housing, a carrier displaceably supported in the housing for movement in a translational direction, and a damper part for damping the translational movement. The damper part has a first end connected to the housing and a second end pivotably connected to the carrier, the carrier is pivotable about a pivot axis perpendicular to the translation direction between a first position and a second position, and the damper element further includes at least one spring biasing the carrier toward the first position.
Abstract:
A furniture hinge including a toggle-type hinge and a line shock absorber arranged transversely to a major axis of the toggle-type hinge. The line shock absorber is inserted into a holder and the holder is attached to the toggle-type hinge. The holder includes a bearing part and a position part, which are fixed to each other by at least one coupling element in the form of an unreleasable connection or a releasable one.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuator, including at least one pivotably supported actuating arm for moving a furniture flap. The actuating arm is or can be acted on by a spring device, and a retaining clip is proposed for the empty actuating arm on which no furniture flap is mounted yet. The retaining clip prevents accidental opening or deflecting of the empty actuating arm and for this purpose includes a brake or detent device which can be moved by a shaft (R). A transmission gear is provided by which the pivot speed of the actuating arm can be geared to a higher rotational speed of the shaft (R) at least over a region of the pivot travel of the actuating arm in the open direction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dishwasher (1) comprising a body (2), a door (3) which provides access into the body (2) and opens from the top downwards by rotating around the horizontal axis, a door latch (4) which provides the door (3) to be locked, and a door opening mechanism (6) having a linear actuator (5) that provides the door (3) to be opened automatically at the end of the washing and drying processes such that some gap remains between the door (3) and the body (2).
Abstract:
The device (1) for decelerating the rotation of a hinge in particular for furniture, comprises a container (4) accommodating at least one rotating friction element (16) adapted to slide on a friction surface (17), a slider (18) moveable along a translational direction during the rotation of the hinge, and kinematic means for transforming the translation of the slider (18) into a rotation of the at least one friction element (16), the slider (18) having first means for receiving its movement during the opening of the hinge, distinct and separated from second means for receiving its movement during the closure of the hinge, the kinematic means comprise a drawing element (20) integrally joined to the slider (18) and permanently confined inside the profile of a cam (21) provided for on the friction element (16), the drawing element (20) being selectively engageable with a first section of the profile of said cam (21) for rotating the friction element (16) during the opening of the hinge or with a second section of the profile of the cam (21) for rotating the friction element during the final phase for closing the hinge
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an actuator (1), comprising an output member (6); a resilient element (8) connected to said output member (6) so as to urge it in a first direction; and an hydraulic rotation damper (5) with a closed cylinder cavity, a rotational damper shaft which extends into the cylinder cavity, and a piston dividing the cylinder cavity into a first side and a second side. Within the rotation damper (5), the rotational movement of the damper shaft is converted into a translational movement of the piston along a longitudinal axis of the shaft. A restricted fluid passage communicates said first and second sides. The damper shaft is connected over a gearing (10, 15, 17) to the output member (6) and resilient element (8) of the actuator for damping movement of said output member (6) in said first direction.The present invention relates to both rotational and linear actuators as well as to a closing mechanisms for hinged members, such as doors, gates, or windows, comprising such actuators.
Abstract:
The present invention polynucleotide aptamers that selectively bind to and inhibit the function of osteopontin, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of use for diagnostics and treatment of diseases and disorders associated with osteopontin.
Abstract:
A damper arrangement is provided for parts of furniture that can be pivoted in relation to each other. The arrangement includes at least one damper having a linear damping course, and at least two abutment parts which can be respectively fixed to one of the parts of the furniture, or can be supported thereon in an especially sliding manner. The abutment parts are interconnected in such a way that they can be pivoted by at least one articulated axis. The damper is arranged in such a way that the direction of the linear damping course thereof is at an angle to a parallel line, deviating (offset) from a vertical line, preferably essentially parallel to the articulated axis.
Abstract:
A furniture hinge with equipment comprising a toggle-type hinge and a line shock absorber arranged transversely to a major axis of the toggle-type hinge, which line shock absorber is inserted into a holder and the latter is attached to the toggle-type hinge, whereat the holder (100, 200) consists of a bearing part (1) and a position part (2), which are fixed to each other by at least one coupling element in the form of an unreleasable connection or a releasable one.
