Abstract:
A toggle type hinge (10) has a damper assembly mounted on the flange (12) of its hinge cup. The damper assembly provides a damping resistance to the closing movement of the hinge over its final stage. The damper assembly comprises a sleeve (21) which houses a linear damper. The sleeve (21) is mounted on a groove (26) on the hinge cup flange (12) and is held in position by a holder (15). A wing (22) on the sleeve (21) is arranged to come into engagement with an arm (11) of the hinge, causing the sleeve to rotate about its longitudinal axis (25). A cam arrangement (19, 23) between the hinge cup flange (12) and sleeve (21) causes the sleeve to move along its axis (25) as it rotates. The axial movement of the sleeve (21) causes compression of the damper.

The first attachment member 20, the second attachment member 30, and the first, second and third links 42, 43, 41 constitute a parallel link mechanism. This arrangement enables the door 3 to be translated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuator, comprising at least one pivotably supported actuating arm for moving a furniture flap, wherein the actuating arm is or can be acted on by a spring device, and wherein a retaining clip is proposed for the empty actuating arm on which no furniture flap is mounted yet, wherein the retaining clip prevents accidental opening or deflecting of the empty actuating arm and for this purpose comprises a brake or detent device which can be moved by a shaft (R), wherein 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:
A danger for movable furniture parts includes a housing and a cylinder disposed in the housing, in which a piston with a piston rod is movably supported. At least one set of gears is supported movably on the housing, by which the cylinder and/or a stop for the piston rod can be adjusted relative to the housing.
Abstract:
A carriage which serves to hold a panel, has at least one running element such as a magnet, a wheel and/or a sliding element which is held by at least one corresponding magnetic element or supported on a running surface of an at least approximately U-profile or L-profile-shaped rail. The carriage comprises one or two carriage parts which can be anchored to the panel by mounting elements, such that the two carriage parts can be anchored on the opposing sides (4a, 4b) of the panel. One carriage part is further contemplated, which can be introduced into a groove arranged on the upper side of the panel between the sides and anchored there by the mounting elements. Further provided is a carriage and a mounting device which can be coupled to the carriage and to the glass panel with two assembly parts which are each formed or mounted on one side on the upper side or within a groove of the panel.
Abstract:
A vehicle door hinge assembly includes a first hinge supported to pivot about a first axis, a guide surface, a door located at a side of the vehicle, a bracket to which the door is secured, supported to pivot about the first axis and a second axis and including a follower engaged with the guild surface, and a strut secured to the bracket that extends as the bracket pivots toward an open position and retracts as the bracket pivots toward a closed position.
Abstract:
The embodiment proposes a refrigerator. A refrigerator of the embodiment includes a cabinet in which a storage chamber is formed; a door that is connected to the cabinet and opens and closes the storage chamber; and a door opening apparatus that is provided in the cabinet and opens the doors, wherein the door opening apparatus includes: a push member that contacts the rear surface of the door and pushes the rear surface of the door by a rotation operation and a driver that is connected to the push member and generates power for moving the push member.
Abstract:
A hinge for automatically-closing a door which opens in both directions with a shock absorbing function, which allows installation on a door which opens in both directions and is opened inward and outward, including a cylinder 2; an operating rod 3 attached to one end of the cylinder 2 so as to be rotatable and restricted from moving in the longitudinal direction; two substantially V-shaped grooves 33 provided on an outer periphery of the operating rod 3 in the cylinder 2 so as to oppose to each other; two spheres 55 provided so as to engage the substantially V-shaped grooves 33 and disposed so as to oppose to each other; an upper piston 5 engaged with the spheres 55 and moved in the cylinder 2 in the longitudinal direction in conjunction with the movement of the spheres 55 with respect to the substantially V-shaped groove 33; a compression coil spring 4 disposed between the upper piston 5 and an upper end portion of the cylinder 2 and configured to urge the upper piston 5 to the other end side of the cylinder 2; and a fluid pressure shock absorbing mechanism configured to absorb a shock caused by the movement of the upper piston 5 to the other end side with a liquid pressure.
Abstract:
Illumination device (20) for box-like or chest-like items of furniture having a body, which is provided with at least one door or flap, which can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position in relation to the body or a withdrawable part, for example a drawer or the like, which can be displaced between a closed position in which it is pushed into the body and an open position in which it is withdrawn from the body. The illumination device (20) has a holder, which can be connected to an electrical current source, for an illumination means (40), wherein a switch, which interrupts or opens the electrical connection in the event of a predetermined position of the door or flap or withdrawable part in relation to the body, is provided in the electrical connection between the current source and the illuminations means. The holder for the illumination means (40) has an adapter (32) having an adapter housing (34) which can be mounted in the body and in which a spring-prestressed pressure piece (36), which can be displaced between two separate positions and is in direct or indirect operative connection with the switch, is arranged. The adapter housing (34) is provided on one of the furniture fittings holding the door or flap or the withdrawable part movably on or in the body.
Abstract:
An automatic door closing hinge configured to absorb a shock by an air damper which can be installed on a double swing door opening inward and outward and a double swing door structure provided with the automatic door closing hinge are provided. An automatic door closing hinge 1 is configured in such a manner that balls 43 are engaged with a cam groove 35 formed on an outer peripheral surface of an operating rod in a cylinder 2 at opposed positions so as to have a substantially V-shape continuing in a circular shape at opposed positions thereof, the balls 43 are engaged with a compression ring 4 urged downward by a restraining force of a compression coil spring 5, the movement of the balls 43 with respect to the cam groove 35 is in conjunction with the vertical movement of the compression ring 4, balls 65 are engaged with a cam groove 36 being formed under the cam groove 35 and having substantially the same shape as the cam groove 35 at opposed positions thereof, the balls 65 are engaged with the piston 6, the movement of the balls 65 with respect to the cam groove 36 is in conjunction with the vertical movement of the piston 6, and air on the lower side of the piston 6 in the cylinder 2 is gradually flowed out according to the downward movement of the piston 6.
