PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a furniture hinge with a buffer.SOLUTION: A furniture hinge with an implement comprises a toggle-type hinge H and a buffer B. The buffer B is a rotary (first solution) or linear (second solution) buffer. The buffer B is provided across the longitudinal principal axis of the toggle-type hinge H without reference to the solution, and joined to a hinge pot. A combination relates to the above two objects in regard to the new use of the rotary buffer, the new connection of the linear buffer to the toggle-type furniture hinge, and the new combination of the toggle-type hinge and the rotary and linear buffers.
Abstract:
Wheel weight assemblies are provided in which a weight member (212) is mounted on a clip member (211) for attachment to the rim of a vehicle wheel, with the clip and weight members being substantially encased in an injection moulded housing. The weight member (212) may be composed of a plurality of individual plate elements. Spacing elements such as end caps (250) may be used to hold the plate elements together and locate them in the mould tool to ensure their correct positioning during the moulding process.
Abstract:
A quick coupling furniture hinge for a quick arrangement of a door of a furniture element onto a base furniture element, wherein the hinge comprises a hinge pot arranged in the furniture door and a hinge arm pivotably fastened thereon. The hinge arm is provided with a mounting assembly fixed in the hinge arm, via which mounting assembly the hinge arm is fastened to a base mounting panel that is fixed on the base furniture element, so that the pivotable assemblies co-operate independently from each other with each complementarily shaped element arranged on the base mounting panel.
Abstract:
An ingot feeding apparatus is provided for a diecasting machine. The apparatus comprises means (13) for feeding an ingot (16) into a bath of molten metal for use in the diecasting process, means for detecting the level of the molten metal in the bath, and means for operating the ingot feeding means in response to signals from the level detecting means. The level detecting means comprises means for measuring temperature in the bath above the surface of the molten metal.
Abstract:
It concerns a set of a nut carrier (1; 11) and two translatory or rotary guided nuts in it or a set of a nut carrier (21; 31) and of only one nut guided in it in a translatory or rotary way. The nut is always part of a translatory or rotary guided slide (2; 12; 22; 32).
Abstract:
A furniture hinge with equipment comprises a toggle-type hinge (H) and a shock absorber (B). The latter is either a rotary (a first approach) or a line (a second approach) shock absorber. Irrespective of the approach, said shock absorber (B) is arranged transversely to a major longitudinal axis of the toggle-type hinge (H) and bound to a hinge pot. Thus, the invention concerns a new use of a rotary shock absorber, a new incorporation of a line shock absorber into a toggle-type furniture hinge, and a new combination of said toggle-type hinge and said rotary and line shock absorbers, respectively, said combination concerning the above two objects.
Abstract:
A fastening element (20) is provided for use with a tightening element (14) in a device for forming a joint between two panels (18,22). The fastening element is elongate and has a head (13) at one end for engaging the tightening element, an expander (15) at the other end and a shank (11) extending there between. The fastening element further comprises a sleeve (10) having an expandable section (16) at one end extending over the expander, with the expander operatively engaging the sleeve to cause outward movement of its expandable section upon axial displacement of the fastening element relative to the sleeve. The sleeve is provided with at least one outwardly facing cutting edge (19) on its expandable section. The cutting edge has sufficient strength to cut into the panel material in use of the device, when the expandable section is inserted into a face hole in a first one of the panels.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly is provided having first and second parts pivotally connected together. One of the parts has a hinge cup (13) and is connectable to a first element such as a cupboard door. The other part (11) is connectable to a second element such as the cupboard carcase. The assembly includes a linear damping device (17), which is actuable to provide a damped resistive force over at least part of the range of relative pivotal movement between the two hinge elements. The damping device (17) is conveniently mounted within the hinge cup (13).
Abstract:
A damped hinge assembly is provided that comprises a hinge unit (10) and a damping unit (14). A mechanism is provided for connecting the two units together for purposes of transportation and handling, as well as for ease of installation. The connecting mechanism allows the units to move relative to one another between a transit state, which allows access for installation purposes, and a working position in which the damping unit is operative to provide resistance to closing movement of a door.
