Abstract:
A hinge includes a first mounting part defining first and second ends, a second mounting part defining third and fourth ends, a first articulated lever defining fifth and sixth ends, a second articulated lever defining seventh and eighth ends, a third articulated lever defining ninth and tenth ends, and a fourth articulated lever defining eleventh and twelfth ends. The fifth end pivotally connects between the first end and the second end. The sixth end pivotally connects to the tenth end. The ninth end pivotally connects to the fourth end. The third end pivotally connects to the eleventh end. The second end pivotally connects to the seventh end. The eighth end pivotally connects between the ninth end and the tenth end. The twelfth end pivotally connects between the seventh end and the eighth end. A protective plate covers at least a portion of the plates and levers.
Abstract:
A process for thermomechanical treatment of steel for torsionally-strained spring elements, the initial material being heated with a heating rate of at least 50 K/s and austenitized, and then, being formed in at least one forming step with the formed product being quenched to below the martensite temperature to martensite and then tempered. To improve the strength or toughness properties of the spring steel in the strain direction of the torsionally strained spring elements so that the increase of vibration strength is considerable, the initial material is heated to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature and then formed at such a temperature, that dynamic and/or static recrystallization of the austenite occurs, and that the recrystallized austenite of the formed product is quenched.
Abstract:
A method and an installation for producing biconical wire, i.e., wire with repeating cylindrical and conical wire sections from a cylindrical starting material, in particular for producing helical compression springs inexpensively by using hot forming to form the conical wire sections. The installation has a heating unit (1) and a forming unit (2). The embodiment also includes a cooling unit (3) downstream from the heating unit (1), a cooling unit (4) downstream from the forming unit (2), a roll control (5), a re-rolling unit (6) downstream from the forming unit (2), another heating unit (7) for annealing or tempering, a cooling unit (8) downstream from the additional heating unit (7), an uncoiler (9), a roller straightening apparatus (10) and a coiler (11).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fixing arrangement for fixing a built-in fridge (3) to a side wall (2a) of a body (2) of a piece of furniture, said system comprising: a hinge (5) having a hinge arm (6) that can be fixed on the fridge side and has a screw flange (7) comprising through-holes (8) for fixing screws (9); two fixing screws (9) that pass through the through-holes (8) of the screw flange (7) and can be screwed into a side wall (2a) of the body (2) of the piece of furniture; and at least one wall thickness compensation plate (11) that can be inserted as required between the screw flange (7) and the side wall (2a). Said fixing system is designed such that the fixing screws (9) are pre-mounted in a plastic covering cap (10) that can be placed on the screw flange (7).
Abstract:
A door hinge for a household appliance, the household appliance including a body and a door, the door being movable about a horizontal axis between an approximately vertical closed position and an approximately horizontal opened position. The door hinge includes a housing couplable to the body, a door lever pivotably mountable on the door for movement about a main shaft, a weight compensating spring and a closing spring. The weight compensating spring holds the door approximately in a position of equilibrium when the door is opened and the closing spring applies a self-closing force shortly before the door reaches the closed position and applies a closure maintaining force when the door reaches the closed position. Further included is a dampening device that either counteracts a closing force or an opening force.
Abstract:
A domestic appliance, such as a refrigerator, is configured to be fitted into a furniture body. The furniture body includes a front furniture panel disposed on a front face of a domestic appliance door and includes a pivot joint. The front furniture panel is connected to the front face of the domestic appliance door. A damping device is located between and operatively connected to the domestic appliance door and the front furniture panel. The domestic appliance door is configured as a sliding door which moves relative to the front furniture panel during an opening and closing movement of the domestic appliance door and the front furniture panel.
Abstract:
A fastening assembly for a built-in refrigerator on a side wall of a furniture body includes a hinge with a hinge arm fixable on the refrigerator side, a screw-on flange with through holes for fastening screws, two fastening screws that pass through the through holes of the screw-on flange and that are screwed into a side wall of the furniture body and a wall thickness compensating plate. The wall thickness compensating plate is insertable if needed between the screw-on flange and the side wall. The fastening screws are preinstalled in a cover cap manufactured from plastic and pluggable onto the screw-on flange.
