Abstract:
A compartment confining construction comprises an opening and a closure unit movably mounted on the compartment confining construction for movement between a closing position and a fully opened position with respect to the opening. A fluid-based positioning unit is connected to both the compartment confining construction and the closure unit, the fluid-based positioning unit having two working chambers interconnected by at least one flow path, a movement of the closure unit corresponding to a flow of fluid from one chamber to another through the at least one flow path. A fluid flow control device is provided for controlling the flow of fluid through the at least one flow path and thereby controlling the movement of the closure unit. The fluid flow control device is actuatable by an electric actuating device. The flow of liquid occurs in response to movement of the closure unit when the closure unit is moved by an external force.
Abstract:
An assembly for controlling turn of a hinge is mounted within one section of a hinged structure such as a laptop, palm-top or handy personal computer. In the assembly housing, there are arranged an elongated pivot, a cylindric plastic sleeve having an aperture for setting the pivot, and a socket having a frusto-conical aperture. The sleeve is usually of a truncated biconical shape and has some slot extends axially to one or other end thereof. The inner surface of the housing bore inclines axially in the opposite direction to the inner surface of the socket so that the inclined inner surface can contact with the other frusto-conical outer surface of the sleeve.
Abstract:
A brake apparatus for automatic doors including a speed pulse signal output device for providing speed pulse signals at a time interval inversely proportional to the door speed of an automatic door, a brake for slowing the door speed, a braking position detector for detecting braking position when the brake starts braking, a brake effect measurer for measuring the effect of the brake and a braking power controller for adjusting the braking power of the brake in accordance with the measured braking effect whereby the motion of the door is kept constant irrespective of the door weight and other conditions.
Abstract:
A friction applying assembly for a panel movable from a first position to a second position which includes a mounting plate rigidly secured to the panel with the plate having a non-circular aperture. There is a hinge support arm having at one end a non-circular aperture and a bolt arm having a head at one end, which bolt arm is inserted into the non-circular aperture of the hinge support arm to prevent relative movement between the bolt arm and hinge support arm. The bolt arm is elongated having a large diameter section adjacent the head and a smaller diameter section at the opposite end and a tapered conically shaped intermediate section between the large diameter section and small diameter section. An elongated bushing body having one end inserted into the non-circular aperture of the mounting plate is secured thereto to prevent relative movement between the bushing and mounting plate. The bushing has an internal tapered conically shaped cavity complementary to and in frictional engagement with the intermediate section of the bolt arm. A compression spring having one end seated against the bushing and the opposite end retained by fastener means on the smaller diameter section of the bolt arm urges the bushing into movable frictional engagement with the tapered conically shaped intermediate section of the bolt arm.
Abstract:
Furniture fitting with a damper, wherein the damper has a space for accommodating a damping medium, wherein the space is filled substantially completely with a multiplicity of solid particles, and wherein the interspaces remaining between the solid particles are filled substantially completely by a liquid.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a separation element, which is elastically received and firmly held. SOLUTION: The carriage 2A, 2B provided to hold a displaceable separation element 1A comprises a carriage body provided with at least two running wheels, while the carriage body is connected to a carrier profile and the carrier profiles 24A, 24B function to carry the separation element. According to the invention, a threaded shank with an adjusting screw is rotatively held in the carriage body, and the adjusting screw comprises below the screw head a flange ring. The flange ring supports a flange element provided in the carrier profile, while the flange element comprises an opening, through which the screw head is guided. Thus, by rotating the adjusting screw, the carrier profile can be freely adjusted in height. A tool channel 2424 is provided in the carrier profile, into which a conventional tool can be introduced.
