Abstract:
The present invention relates to a door stopper (10) comprising a dampening piston (30), a pin holder (40) provided at the piston end (32) of the piston shaft (31) of the dampening piston (30), and a spring (56) connected to the pin holder (40), in order to decelerate the sliding door during opening thereof in vehicles having sliding door and in order to reduce the hitting effect. As an improvement, the present invention is characterized by comprising a first roller (60) and a second roller (70) connected to each other so as to rotate together in a coaxial manner, and a first rope (61) connected to the pin holder (40) from one end and connected to the first roller (60) from the other end and a second rope (71) connected to the spring (56) from one end and connected to the second roller (70) from the other end, and further characterized in that the first roller (60) is greater than the second roller (70).
Abstract:
An actuator includes a piston assembly movably disposed within an assembly housing having a fixedly supported end and an opposing end that receives a movable piston assembly. The piston assembly includes a piston rod and an attached piston head having a fixed orifice as well as an orifice with a check valve to create rate control of the assembly. Hydraulic fluid is caused to move through the axially movable piston head based on compressive and tensile loads imparted to the assembly. A plurality of pre-loaded springs are configured to selectively provide pressure relief in the event the orifices of the piston become clogged, wherein the plurality of pre-loaded springs, such as disc springs, further provide an energy absorbing function of the assembly based on loading conditions.
Abstract:
A drive device for a flap of a piece of furniture including at least one actuating arm which is activated by a spring device and is intended for moving the flap. A pushing-out device can move the flap from the closed position the opening direction toward the open position over a first opening-angle range (M1). The spring device exerts substantially no force on the flap in the first opening-angle range (M1), and the spring device moves the flap in the opening direction only in a second opening-angle range (M2), wherein the second opening-angle range (M2) adjoins the first opening-angle range (M1) or, at most, slightly overlaps the first opening-angle range.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a multi-link hinge for furniture, with a fastening element which can be secured indirectly or directly to a furniture body and is connected to a pivotable door bearing via a plurality of link levers connected to one another in a scissors-like manner, wherein a linear damper which damps both a closing movement and an opening movement of the door bearing is provided. The multi-link hinge is distinguished in that the linear damper is ineffective in a central portion of the pivoting range of the door bearing.
Abstract:
A power-assisted door closer includes an output shaft, a driving mechanism operatively connected to the output shaft, a mechanical energy accumulator for storing closing energy for the door leaf and acting upon the driving mechanism, a motor/generator unit operatively connected to the output shaft and an electrical energy accumulator for storing an assisting energy for the door leaf and being electrically connected to the motor/generator unit.
Abstract:
A slide assist mechanism includes a case attached to one of a main body or a moving body; a slider disposed freely slidably in the case; a latch supported by the slider so as to be switched between a standby position which locks in a corresponding portion of the case and a draw-in position which releases the locking; a draw-in unit including an urging device; and an operation member attached to the another of the main body or the moving body and switching the latch from the standby position to the draw-in position, or switching the latch from the draw-in position to the standby position. When the latch is switched from the standby position to the draw-in position, due to an urging force which has been accumulated in the urging device, the slide assist mechanism allows the moving body to move from a first position to a second position on a main body side through the operation member. In the slider, the urging device is disposed on a lower surface side, and also one end in a sliding direction includes an attachment device for the urging device.
Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a washing tub, a latch keeper disposed on the washing tub and mounted on a push rod, and a pivotable door configured to close the washing tub. The door includes a latching mechanism configured to engage the latch keeper in accordance with a closing of the door. An actuator is configured to move the push rod in an opening direction so as to open the door to an ajar position. A return device is configured to return the latch keeper in a direction opposite to the opening direction approximately at least to an initial position upon a further opening of the door.
Abstract:
In an acceleration and deceleration device which includes at least one energy storage device and a cylinder with at least one piston movably disposed in the cylinder and moved therein by a carrier element and a sliding door including a slidable door panel provided with an acceleration and deceleration device, a second carrier element is provided guiding either the first piston or the second piston for movement in the cylinder so as to control the movement of pistons and of the sliding door near its end positions.
Abstract:
A four bar hinge for mounting a door on an enclosure, the hinge including a first mounting bracket adapted to secure the hinge to the enclosure, a second mounting bracket adapted to secure the hinge to the door, a first link rotationally connected to the first mounting bracket at a first location and rotationally connected to the second mounting bracket at a second location, a second link rotationally connected to the first mounting bracket at a third location and rotationally connected to the second mounting bracket at a fourth location, a first shield fixedly connected at the second and the fourth locations and a second shield slidably connected to the first link and rotationally connected at the third location, wherein throughout an entire range of motion of the first mounting bracket relative to the second mounting bracket at least a portion of one of the first or second shields overlaps at least a portion of the other of the first and second shields whereby access to a volume formed between the first and second links is precluded.
Abstract:
The hinge structure for a furniture with a foldable shelf (1) reversibly turnable downwards from a closing position of the furniture to a substantially horizontal opening position comprises a first and a second rocker arm (2, 3) hinged at their ends by means of a first, second, third and fourth pin (4, 5, 6, 7) to a first plate (8) able to be fixed to a stationary portion (9) of the furniture and to a second plate (10) able to be fixed to the shelf (1), first decelerating means (11) mainly of the final portion of the opening stroke of the shelf (1) independently from second decelerating means (12) mainly of the initial portion of the opening stroke of the shelf (1).
