    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a positioning mechanism for holding a lid element of a vehicle in an intermediate position between a fully open position and a fully closed position. The positioning mechanism comprises a base component, a first friction block carrying a first friction surface, a counter surface, and an engagement element. The first friction block is supported on the base component via two pivotable first lever arms such that the two first lever arms, the friction block, and a portion of the base component form a first parallelogram. The counter surface faces the first friction surface and is arranged in parallel to the first friction surface such that the first friction surface and the counter surface define a movement channel extending along a movement channel direction. The engagement element is receivable in the movement channel and the first lever arms are inclined with respect to a movement channel direction.

    Abstract: A door closer may utilize a door closing device (e.g., spring) and a force adjustment device (e.g., a motor) in order to allow for manual door opening and assisted door closing. During operation, as a door is manually opened, the spring is loaded (e.g., compressed or tensioned) above its pre-loaded closed position state. Once manual opening is completed, the spring that is loaded during opening begins returning to the pre-loaded closed position state, and thus, moves the door automatically towards the closed position. Depending on the pre-loaded spring setting, the closing force of the door may not be enough to close the door, or to close the door with the preferred force. As such, during closing a controller may engage a motor not to drive the door directly, but to increase the pre-load of spring to increase the closing force in order to allow the door to close as preferred.

    Abstract: A panel device (10), particularly a roof light for a recreational vehicle, comprises an at least substantially polygonal frame (11, 12) which surrounds an opening (15). A window (20) is connected to the frame for pivoting about a pivot axis and comprises a panel (21) which extends over the opening. Provided between the frame and the window is a stay device (50) which is manipulable between a first position, in which the window is forced into a flat state and closes the opening, and at least one second position in which the window is raised by the stay device and leaves the opening at least partially clear. The stay device comprises a stay (51, 52) which extends movably from an elongate guide (61, 62) at a first outer end and is connected pivotally to the window at an opposite, second outer end. The stay (51, 52) is adjustable in the guide and is coupled to an actuator (78) via a flexible transmission (71 . . . 83). The transmission comprises at least one tension-resistant pull member (71-73) which is coupled to the stay (51, 52) and which is movable in an axially at least substantially rigid yet flexible sleeve (81-83), a first outer end of which is fixed to or close to the stay (51, 52) and a second outer end of which is attached to or close to the actuator (78).

    Abstract: An assembly for guiding a movable furniture part includes a guide system to be fastened to a stationary furniture part, a support on which a movable furniture part can be pivotably mounted, and a compensation device for compensating for a tilting moment of the support, or of the movable furniture part positioned thereon, about a tilting axis by means of a restoring moment, with the compensation device includes a cable pull device having a cable. A cable tensioning device is also provided for tensioning the cable, and the cable tensioning device includes a display device for displaying a cable tension.

    Abstract: A piece of furniture has an actuating arrangement for a flap of the piece of furniture. An actuating arm arrangement includes a lever arrangement for moving the flap and a main spring that acts in the closing direction (SR) to hold the flap closed. The piece of furniture also has an ejecting device for ejecting the flap in the opening direction (OR) by overpressing the flap in the closing direction (SR). At least one support spring acts in the opening direction (OR) and is separate from the ejecting device, and supports the ejecting motion of the ejecting device. At least in an overpressed closed position (US), the spring forces (A, U) are together greater than the closing force (Z) which acts on the flap and which is provided by the main spring acting in the closing direction (SR).
