Abstract: A counterbalance assembly for an appliance has a guide member with a rotatable pulley with a fixed radius and a cam affixed to one side of the pulley and having a varying radius. The cam and the pulley rotate about a pulley axis of rotation as a single unit. The counterbalance has a force applicator that applies a counterbalance force to one of the pulley or cam, and the counterbalance has a connector that couples the other of the pulley or cam to the door. The counterbalance force applies a varying counterbalance torque to the door that is a function of the ratio between the fixed radius and the varying radius over the pivotal range of the door.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of spring hinges, and to a silent spring hinge, which addresses the technical shortcoming that relatively high noise is generated when an existing spring hinge used in a household appliance drives a cabinet door to close. The silent spring hinge includes a fixing base, a hinge arm and a spring assembly, a damping assembly corresponding to a side edge of a rotating wheel being further provided on the fixing base, the damping assembly including a sleeve body, a steel ball, a spring and a lock nut, an outer wall of the sleeve body being snap-fitted on the fixing base, the steel ball, the spring and the lock nut being mounted within the sleeve body in sequence, a portion of the steel ball being exposed from the sleeve body and being elastically connected to the side edge of the rotating wheel, and a deceleration groove and a self-locking groove mated with the steel ball at a final stage of the process of closing a cabinet door being provided on a gear edge of the rotating wheel. By means of the present invention, the closing speed of the cabinet door is effectively reduced, and an effect of damping is achieved, such that the cabinet door is closed in a more stable manner, and a force of the spring assembly is not affected after the spring assembly drives the cabinet door to close. The present invention is particularly suitable for use on such products as ovens and microwave ovens.

Abstract: A spiral balance device for sash windows has a pipe inside of which extends a spiral rod having a screw section. A lower end of the spiral rod extends through a slot in a coupling rotatably disposed inside the lower end of the pipe and projects from the lower end of the pipe. A torsion spring has an upper end fixed near the upper end of the pipe and a lower end fixed to the coupling. A fixing member is fixed within the upper end of the pipe, and an adjustment member rotatably disposed below the fixing member engages with the upper end of the spiral rod. A ratchet mechanism disposed between the fixing member and adjustment member allows rotation of the adjustment member in a direction of winding the torsion spring and prevents rotation of the adjustment member in a direction of unwinding the torsion spring.

Abstract: An appliance hinge assembly includes an arm to mate with a receiver. A door mounting lever is adapted to be connected to an appliance door, and the lever includes an inner end pivotally connected to the arm. The lever pivots relative to the arm between a first position and a second position, through an intermediate position. A slide link is located adjacent the lever. The slide link inner end is pivotally connected to the arm at a location that is offset from the main pivot axis such that pivoting movement of the lever results in movement of the slide link relative to the lever. A biasing system includes a spring that urges the lever toward the first position. A damper system includes a damper that damps movement of the lever. Alternatively, the arm connects to the appliance door and the lever connects to the appliance body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a silent, soft-close compact hinge comprising of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm. A set of coil springs biases the hinge to a closed position. A damping mechanism is removably attached to the hinge cup and acted on by the hinge arm. A set of spring sleeves are fitted to the coil springs to insulate the movement of the coil springs on the hinge arm providing the closing bias. The hinge body is comprised of three separate plates adjustably connected to each other with cam screws. The position of the hinge body with respect to the hinge arm is adjustable in three directions without the need for removal or loosening of mounting hardware used to attach the hinge body to a furniture piece.

Abstract: A fitting assembly arranged between a fixed frame and a sash of a window or a door, comprises a fixed-frame-side support bracket, a sash-side support bracket, a scissor assembly as well as a spacer. The fixed-frame-side support bracket surrounds a fixed-frame corner of the fixed frame with a bearing leg and an additional support leg. The sash-side support bracket surrounds a sash corner of the sash with a bearing leg and an additional support-bracket leg. The spacer may either be arranged on the side of the additional support-bracket leg of the fixed-frame-side support bracket facing a first fixed-frame rebate face or on the side of the additional support-bracket leg of the sash-side support bracket facing a first sash rebate face. A scissor assembly supported on the bearing leg of the fixed-frame-side support bracket and on the bearing leg of the sash-side support bracket allows the sash to be rotationally and translationally moved with respect to the fixed frame.

Abstract: A drive for a rotatable wing, the drive including an electric motor, a transmission, an output shaft, which is coupled to the electric motor by means of the transmission and can be coupled to the wing in order to move the wing between a closed position and an open position by means of the electric motor, and a force device for applying a force to the output shaft. The drive can have a compact design in that the force on the output shaft produces a torque that has a threshold value which must be overcome in the currentless state of the electric motor in order to move the wing from the closed position to the open position and that disappears in the open position of the wing, and/or in that the force device has a spring arranged transversely to the axis of the drive shaft of the electric motor and transversely to the axis of the output shaft.

Abstract: A rifle holder hinge mechanism comprising a rifle hook attached to a hinge block, the hinge block having a hinge block sleeve, with a hinge pin rotatable within the hinge block sleeve. A cam is provided connected to the hinge pin and configured to arrest rotation of the hinge pin, such that the hinge pin is rotatable from a first position to an approximately 90-degree second position. In some configurations, a retaining collar with a first detent and a second detent functions as the rotation limiting cam.
