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; (e) a hydraulic assembly for hydraulically controlling the longitudinal movement of the movable body, the hydraulic assembly being disposed within the central bore of the housing; wherein the hydraulic assembly comprises a piston coupled to the housing and slidable in a fluid-filled chamber within the movable body, wherein the piston divides the chamber into two compartments, and the piston comprises a valve mechanism which opens to permit relatively free movement of the fluid from one compartment to the other when the movable body is moved relative to the piston in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, in response to movement of the tension member outwardly of the housing but closes to present resistance to movement of the movable body in the first direction, wherein the fluid-filled chamber comprises an first elongate chamber within which the piston slides and a second elongate chamber in fluid communication therewith via first and second longitudinally separated fluid ports, the first and second chambers and first and second fluid ports defining a hydraulic loop, and an accumulator comprising a compressible foam body disposed in the fluid-filled chamber at a location adjacent to the hydraulic loop.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly is provided to mount a door to a housing, and includes a housing fixation section (1), a hinge cup (3) pivotally connected to the housing fixation section (1), and a damping mechanism (4) positioned entirely within the hinge cup (3) to dampen movement of the door as it closes on the housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an end-stop damper comprising a damper body in the form of a cylinder (11), wherein a piston (43) is guided in such a way that it is displaceable in the cylinder receiving chamber (11,1), an air pressure which is formed in the receiving chamber produces a braking force acting on the piston during the displacement thereof, the receiving chamber comprises at least one pressure reducing opening (16) and the piston comprises a bellows section (44) which is actively connected to the cylinder according to pressure conditions in the receiving chamber. The aim of said invention is to substantially simplify the structural design of the end-stop damper by ensuring that the piston and the bellows section are connected to each other in such a way that they are formed in one piece.
Abstract:
Möbel mit einem bewegbaren Möbelteil, insbesondere Schublade oder Türe, und einem Kraftspeicher, wobei das bewegbare Möbelteil (2) vom Kraftspeicher (4) beaufschlagbar ist und der Kraftspeicher (4) durch eine Antriebseinheit (3) aufladbar ist.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for protecting a door, door casing, door knob and wall utilizing a door bump angled block, wherein the apparatus and method changes the orientation of a door bump relative to the door and wall. The apparatus and method of the present invention allows a door bump to contact the door or wall squarely, thus allowing the door bump to effectively dissipate the forces generated when the door or wall strikes the door bump. Further, the apparatus and method of the present invention allows the user to adjust the extent to which a door may be opened by varying the position of the door bump, thereby protecting the door, door casing, door knob, wall and abutting objects.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Türstoppsystem, das aus einem Verriegelungselement (3), das in eine Längsführung (2) angebracht ist und mit einem im Fussboden (8) eingelassenen Vertiefungselement (7) in der Art zusammenwirkt, dass beim Auftreffen des Verriegelungselementes (3) dieses durch Schwerkraft in die Vertiefung (7) eintaucht und somit eine Feststellung der Tür (6) bewirkt. Das die Vertiefung bildende Element (7) ist dabei mit einer Abdeckung (14) versehen.
Abstract:
A shock absorber includes a first end configured to be mechanically fastened to a first component, a second end configured to be mechanically fastened to a second component, a main body, a main shaft, and a primary piston. The primary piston configured to move within the main body and further configured to provide a first damping force by movement of a fluid through the primary piston while the main shaft moves a first distance. The shock absorber also includes a deformable solid material arranged in the main body. The primary piston configured to further move within the main body and further configured to provide a second damping force by deforming the deformable solid material after the main shaft moves the first distance.
Abstract:
A liquid sealed damper includes: an attachment portion attached to a peripheral portion of an opening of a vehicle or an opening and closing member for covering the opening; a contact portion to which an external force is input; an insulator configured to isolate vibration and connect the attachment portion and the contact portion; a main liquid chamber in which working liquid is sealed; an auxiliary liquid chamber having a wall portion formed of a diaphragm; and an orifice passage formed in the partition member and communicating with the main liquid chamber and the auxiliary liquid chamber. The partition member has a substantially circular surface forming a wall portion of the main liquid chamber. An opening portion at one end of the orifice passage is formed in the circular surface. The opening portion is formed to extend from an outer edge portion to a central portion of the circular surface.
Abstract:
An anti-fall flip-up sliding mechanism includes a hinge having a first hinge plate affixed to a cabinet and a second hinge plate pivotally connected the first hinge plate, a buffering device including a first damper connected between the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate and a second damper mounted at the second hinge plate, and a sliding device affixed to a door panel and slidably coupled to the second hinge plate and meshed with the second damper such that when the door panel is biased relative to the first hinge plate and received to the top side of the cabinet, the first damper and the second damper produce a buffering effect to avoid the door panel from sudden falling.
