The adjustment arm (26) is pivotably fastened around a third lid axis (28) to the second fitting part (3). A drive force (12) urges the lever (19), with a force, to a first pivot direction. In the open position of the lid (4), the first support arm (5) and the second support arm (6) intersect each other.
Abstract:
Described is a carriage (7) for sliding doors and windows (2) comprising a fixed frame (3), at least one sash (4) that is slidable horizontally relative to the fixed frame (3) by means of a carriage unit (1), and a handle (9) mounted on the sash (4) for controlling the carriage (7); the latter is provided with a supporting frame (11), mobile on wheels, and with a connecting member (13) interposed between the supporting frame (11) and a bottom sash (4) rail (8); the connecting member (13) is movably constrained to the supporting frame (11) to enable the sash (4) to be lifted and lowered relative to the supporting frame (11) under the action of the handle (9); a helical spring (44) is interposed between the supporting frame (11) and the connecting member (13) to lessen the effort required of the user to lift the sash (4).
Abstract:
A hinge mechanism (200) for a portable electronic device (100) is provided. The hinge mechanism includes a first shaft (202) that is capable of rotating about a first axis (206). The hinge mechanism also includes a second shaft (204) that is capable of rotating about a second axis (208), wherein the second axis in substantially parallel to the first axis. A link (210) connects the first shaft and the second shaft, wherein the link enables the first shaft and the second shaft to rotate in opposite directions.
Abstract:
A door closer comprising: (a) a housing for fitting into a door, the housing having a mounting plate with an opening adjacent to a central bore of the housing; (b) a tension member extending longitudinally within the central bore of the housing and extending outwardly of the housing through the opening to define an end thereof for fitting to a door frame; (c) a movable body within the housing and adapted for longitudinal movement within the central bore, the movable body being connected to the tension member; (d) a spring within the housing and biasing the movable body in a first direction away from the mounting plate so as to urge the tension member inwardly of the housing in a door closing motion; and (e) a hydraulic damping assembly for damping the longitudinal movement of the movable body at least in the first direction, the hydraulic damping assembly being disposed within the central bore of the housing, wherein the hydraulic damping assembly comprises a piston, coupled to the housing by a piston shaft, and slidable in a fluid-filled chamber within the movable body, the piston divides the chamber into two compartments and the piston permits restricted movement of the fluid from one compartment to the other when the movable body is moved relative to the piston, and an accumulator comprising a compressible foam body disposed in the fluid-filled chamber so as to be compressible by the piston when the movable body has been moved by movement of the tension member out of the housing, the compressible foam body comprising an elongate body having a channel in an outer circumferential surface thereof extending along the length of the elongate body. A fitting tool for the door closer is also provided.
Abstract:
An opening/closing device (1) for a double flap door (3) of an item of furniture (3) is described, wherein the top part (2′) and the bottom part (2″) of the door (2) are not hinged to each other.The device (1) comprises means (4)—connected to the furniture item (3) and to the top part (2′) of the door (2) and adapted to cause the top part (2′) of the door (2) to rotate with respect to the furniture item (3)—and an articulated quadrilateral (5), connected to the means (4) and adapted to cause the bottom part (2″) of the door (2) to rotate with respect to the top part (2′) concomitantly with the rotation of the top part (2′) of the door (2) with respect to the furniture item (3).The articulated quadrilateral (5) comprises a first and a second arm (5′, 5″) having one end hinged to the bottom part (2″) of the door (2) and the other end hinged to the means (4), integral respectively with the top part (2′) of the door (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hinge arrangement, in particular refrigerator housing comprising a refrigerator door pivotably articulated thereto, with a first part (2), with a second part (4) pivotably articulated to the first part (2) via a hinge (3, 3a), with a piston cylinder damping unit (6), which is operatively arranged between the first part (2) and the second part (4) for damping a pivoting movement of the two parts (2, 4) relative to one another, and which is articulated to at least one part (2, 4).
Abstract:
A hinge for wings or doors, in particular of electrical appliances, having a first element, a second element and a rocker lever for connecting the first and second elements; the lever pivots on the second element and has a first arm integral with the first element to render the first and second elements movable relative to one another with a tilting action between a closed position and an open position; the second element consisting of a substantially box-shaped body containing both elastic parts, inserted between the second element and a second arm of the lever to apply an elastic action on the lever, and a damping device, for applying a damping action on the lever during the reciprocal motion of the first and second elements, when the closed position is almost reached.
Abstract:
A door operator assembly, comprising an operator unit mounted to a first position, relative to the door, by a first mounting bracket; and an arm linkage connecting the operator unit and a second position, relative to the door; the arm linkage being mounted at the second position by a second mounting bracket.
Abstract:
A flap drive for a flap includes two identical lever joint arrangements which are arranged in pairs at a distance from one another. The flap can be moved out of its closing position into its opening position and back by the flap drive. In this case, the lever joint arrangements are articulated pivotably with one of their ends in each case on a side region of the flap and with their other ends at a fixed location on the motor vehicle. The mutually corresponding pivot axes of the articulation points extend coaxially to one another. Movement transmission devices for the pivotable drive of a driven lever of each lever joint arrangement are guided by a common motive drive unit, the driven levers being articulated at a fixed location on the motor vehicle.
