Abstract:
A hinge hydraulic infinite check structure includes a paddle having at least one hydraulic aperture is rigidly fixed to a shaft. The pivot shaft is supported for pivoting movement within a case. The case includes a wall portion rigidly fixed to a cylindrically shaped inner surface and extends radially inward to the shaft. Pivoting movement of the pivot shaft forces the hydraulic fluid to move through the aperture from a first side to a second side of the paddle generating movement resistance. With the pivot shaft being stationary relative to the fluid chamber, equilibrium of fluid pressure of the hydraulic fluid at the first side and the second side of the paddle imparts a resistance to pivoting movement of the pivot shaft relative to the fluid chamber.

Abstract:
A hinge device for rotatably moving a closing element includes a fixed element anchorable to a stationary support structure coupled to a movable element anchorable to the closing element for rotating around a first longitudinal axis between an open position and a closed position. The device further includes at least one slider movable along a second axis between a compressed and an extended position. One between the movable element and the fixed element includes at least one operating chamber defining the second axis so as to slidably house the slider, the other element including a pivot defining the first axis. The pivot and the slider are reciprocally coupled so that to the rotation of the movable element around the first axis corresponds the sliding of the slider along the second axis and vice versa.
Abstract:
A hinge (10) for mounting a door (14) on a piece of furniture, comprising a hinge arm (12) fixable to a fixed part (11) of the piece of furniture and a box (13) fixable to a door (14) of the piece of furniture, swingably connected to each other; the hinge further comprises a linear-type decelerating device (22) arranged inside the box (13), having a fluid-type decelerating cylinder (23) and return spring means (24), operatively connected with each other, which extend parallel to and spaced apart from each other. The fluid-type decelerating cylinder (23) is arranged in proximity to a side wall (18′) of the box (13) and the return spring means (24) are arranged in proximity to the opposite aide wall (18″) of the box (13).
Abstract:
A damping device for damping a motion of a movably mounted furniture part or of a movably mounted furniture fitting component of a furniture fitting includes a piston arranged in a fluid chamber. A damping effect is caused by a relative motion between the fluid chamber and the piston and the piston assumes a pressed-in end position relative to the fluid chamber at the end of the damping stroke. The damping device has a locking device which has a locking element that can be operated manually or by means of a tool in order to deactivate the damping effect. The relative position between the fluid chamber and the piston can be releasably locked in the pressed-in end position by the locking element of the locking device.
Abstract:
A fluid-type shock absorber, particularly for doors of electrical household appliances, comprising a shock absorber body, in which a substantially cylindrical chamber is defined that accommodates coaxially a piston provided with a stem that protrudes from at least one axial end of the chamber, the piston divides the chamber into two parts, the piston is accommodated so that it can slide axially within the chamber, moreover at least one duct is provided for connecting the two parts of the chamber in order to allow the transit of a fluid from one part to the other of the chamber for the axial sliding of the piston with respect to the shock absorber body, the connecting duct is defined in the piston and has a calibrated portion thereof that is defined on a first end face of the piston, elements are provided for varying the passage section of the connecting duct available for the fluid.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly for pivotably attaching a door to a domestic appliance is provided. The hinge assembly includes a hinge body; a damper having a central longitudinal axis; a first linkage member pivotably attached to the damper; a second linkage member pivotably attached to the damper; and a foot pivotably attached at a first end of the foot to the first and second linkage members, the foot being configured to engage at a second end of the foot a foot receiving portion of the domestic appliance such that the hinge body and the door pivot relative to the domestic appliance. The first and second linkage members are offset from and positioned on opposite sides of the central longitudinal axis of the damper.
Abstract:
A hinge for a closing door of a compartment, of the type having a first and a second body, respectively integral to the door and to the frame of the corresponding compartment, or vice versa, and mutually hinged by at least one pin, first elastic means mounted on the second body and acting upon the first body, and at least one dampening device fixed to the second body, acting upon the first body and actuated by at least a first slider, functionally connected to the dampener, and by at least a second slider, configured for engaging, directly or indirectly, the aforesaid first body in correspondence of at least a certain angular range assumed by the first body with respect to the second body during their relative rotation, whereby the second slider is actuated in translation by the first body when engaged therewith, as well as constraining means between the first slider and the second slider. Advantagiously, the aforesaid constraining means include at least a lever pivoted to the second body, and the aforesaid first and second slider are constrained at least in rotation to one lever.
Abstract:
A detachable and adjustable damper hinge attachment for connection to pre-installed hinge hardware to dampen the closing motion of a swinging cabinet door. The attachment comprises a housing and a spring damper assembly slidingly and removably engaged with the housing. The housing includes an attachment means for detachable engagement with a hinge body. The spring damper assembly extends from the housing and contacts a portion of the hinge to which the door is mounted. One embodiment positions the spring damper assembly to more perpendicularly meet the door portion of the hinge. Another embodiment includes an adjustment knob for adapting the contact point of the spring damper assembly.
Abstract:
A hinge (1) for a door opening over a horizontal axis, of the type comprising first and second supports (2, 3) that can be fixed to a compartment structure and to a door, at least rotatably constrained to each other through a pin (10). The hinge (1) comprises a fluidic cylinder-piston damper (9) of the type with internal flow leakage of the fluid contained therein. The damper (9) has a piston (18, 19) with a through-hole (20). The piston (18, 19) can have an appendix (19) that non-sealingly engages a chamber (17) when the door is closed, to increase the dampening. The hinge (1) has elastic means (7) such as a spring, to counteract the falling movement of the door when it is opened. The hinge (1) can be of the cam type, with a cam (4) and an abutment (5).
