Abstract:
An end stop damper including a stop element, guided in an elongate damper body with an opened and a closed end as well as a receiving chamber, for receiving a sliding piece, joined to the stop element. The end of the sliding piece, which extends into the receiving chamber, forms a cavity with the inner contour of the receiving chamber. The cavity has at least one opening, for reducing the air pressure. The opening cooperates with a damping element which creates a flow resistance for the air, escaping through the opening.
Abstract:
A noise control device for a steel door includes a buffer, a shock-absorbing member, a stopping member, or only includes a colliding member. The noise control device is installed at any location of a steel door and a casting where noise may be generated when the steel door is closed or opened. The buffer consists of a cylinder, a lower sponge, a coil spring, a rod, and an upper sponge and possibly a colliding member. The buffer can be mainly installed on a deadbolt groove of the casing. The shock-absorbing member may be fixed on the steel door or the casing for reducing sound. The stopping member is fixed on the steel door to face the outer end of the buffer. The noise control device can reduce noise generated in opening and closing as much as possible and preventing the both from disfiguring or denting.
Abstract:
A damping device for movable furniture parts, such as doors or drawers, includes a cylinder filled with a free-flowing medium which is compressed by a piston which has a spring applied to it in its extended position. In order to provide a damping device of this type of smaller length, the cylinder includes a telescopic cylinder having at least two stages. A pressure spring is clamped between the bottom of the outer cylinder of the last stage and the piston of the first stage.
Abstract:
A cabinet door buffer bar includes a hollow tube, a shaft, an elastic element and a sliding member. The sliding member and the inner wall of the hollow tube form different intervals there between so that a resilient member mounted thereon receives varying constraints and generates different buffer forces in different moving directions thereby provides the cabinet door a required buffer force to avoid generating annoying noise and incurring damages during closing of the cabinet door.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a damping device for damping the kinetic energy of movable cabinet components, which has a first damping element with a first cylinder that has a first piston, which slides lengthwise in it, and at least one more (second) damping element with a second cylinder that has a second piston, which slides lengthwise in it. Both damping elements are located one behind the other in a serial arrangement and form an integral system. The invention is characterized by the fact that each of the two damping elements are each designed as pneumatic (air) dampers, and a compression chamber and an expansion chamber respectively contain variable volumes; whereby, the damping effects of the damping elements are affected by the guide canals, which control the air distribution and air flow within and between the compression chambers and/or expansion chambers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an air damper for mobile furniture parts, such as drawers or doors, consisting of a cylinder that is open at one end and a piston with seal that is movable in the longitudinal direction in this cylinder and that is connected to a ram. According to the invention, there is a small drilled hole provided in the outer wall of the cylinder near the closed end section of the cylinder.
Abstract:
A sliding door assembly comprises a frame assembly, a sliding panel carrier, and a sliding panel mounted to the sliding panel carrier. The sliding panel carrier is mounted to the frame assembly for generally rectilinear movement to enable movement of the sliding panel between a closed position and an open position. The sliding panel carrier has a pivot pin receiving opening. A door controlling unit moves the sliding panel carrier in a generally rectilinear manner between the open and closed positions. The sliding panel has a mounting bracket mounted to the top rail thereof. The bracket includes a pivot pin that moves between extended and retracted positions. The sliding panel is mounted to the sliding panel carrier by inserting the pivot pin into the pivot pin receiving opening. As a result, the sliding panel can swing relative to the frame assembly through a breakout movement from a normal, non-breakout position to a breakout position. The bracket, the pivot pin, and the pivot pin receiving opening are constructed and arranged such that, when the sliding panel is moved in a swinging manner to the breakout position thereof, a load applied to the sliding panel that tends to pivot the sliding panel about a point spaced from the pivot pin creates a reaction force that is applied to the pivot pin and is transmitted to the sliding panel top rail through the bracket.
Abstract:
A door stop for hollow walls having two drywall surfaces. The door stop comprises a cylindrical housing having an outwardly turned flange serving as a trim plate engaging the drywall surface exposed to the door knob of a swinging door. The flange is located at the exposed end of the housing. A piston occupies and is entrapped within a chamber formed in the housing. The piston is exposed to the door knob and presents surface roughly flush with the outer surface of the wall. The piston receives impacts when the door is swung so that the door knob strikes the wall. A spring inside the housing decelerates the piston responsive to the door being swung until contact with the wall ensues, and subsequently returns the piston to its original position. The chamber of the housing communicates to the exterior by a small orifice, so that piston movement is pneumatically dampened. A brace formed at the rear of the housing contacts the other drywall surface of the wall, such that impact forces are distributed over both drywall surfaces of the wall. The brace, which in alternative embodiments is selectively C-shaped or cruciform, is friction fit the rear wall of the housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an air-controlled damper which attenuates the motion of movable components. Sealing between the movable components is effected by a separation means which is fixed to the cylinder and the piston in the hollow space of the cylinder.
Abstract:
A guard for a door having a connection body with a hollow trough formed on an underside thereof. The connection body having a front wall with an inverted U-shaped trough. A fixed member is formed with two block pieces connected by a pillar at the center thereof. The two block pieces have an interval therebetween which fits into the inverted U-shaped trough. A suction cup is connected to each of the block pieces.
