Abstract:
A hinge includes a stop part to secure the hinge to a stationary furniture part; an articulated lever; and a hinge cup pivotally arranged on the stop part via the articulated lever. The articulated lever with the hinge cup is mounted via an articulated axle, and the hinge cup can be secured to a movable furniture part. A damping device dampens a relative movement between the stop part and the hinge cup between an open position and a closed position of the hinge. The damping device has a linear damper including a piston and a piston rod, and is arranged outside of the hinge cup. An actuation element separate from the articulated lever actuates the damping device. The actuation element is rotatably mounted on the hinge cup, and the piston rod is movable in a substantially translational manner relative to the linear damper by a rotation of the actuation element.
Abstract:
A sliding door assembly includes a door frame with a top trim member, a bottom sill, and side jambs connected between the top trim member and the bottom sill, and a primary sliding panel secured in the door frame. The top trim member includes a track configured to support a weight of the primary sliding panel and prevent the primary sliding panel from coming off the track. Other features include an interlock mechanism to limit relative movement using multiple sliding doors and a brake mechanism to secure the doors in position when the door handle is released. A drop window includes features to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances and box frame assemblies that are out of square.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes: a frame, a rotatable door; an inhibitor comprising: an arm extending through a selective gate including: upper and lower springs respectively biasing upper and lower rollers against the arm; upper and lower stoppers configured to, upon activation, compress the upper and lower rollers against the arm, thus stopping rotation of the door; sensors, processor(s) configured to: activate and deactivate the stoppers based on sensed events.
Abstract:
A vehicular opening/closing body control device includes: a braking control unit configured to apply a braking force to an opening/closing body provided in an opening in a vehicle; a traveling state determination unit configured to determine a traveling state of the vehicle; an abnormality detection unit configured to detect occurrence of a full-closing abnormality in which the opening/closing body is not held in a fully-closed state during the traveling of the vehicle; and a record holding unit configured to hold a detection record of the full-closing abnormality, wherein the braking control unit executes braking control through detection of the full-closing abnormality of the opening/closing body, and in a case where the detection record of the full-closing abnormality is held after the vehicle stops, executes the braking control of the opening/closing body based on the detection record of the full-closing abnormality before the vehicle travels.
Abstract:
A door component has a controllable damper device that contains a magnetorheological fluid as a working fluid. Two connection units of the damper device can be moved relative to each other. One of the two connection units can be connected to a support structure, and the other connection unit can be connected to a pivotal door device in order to damp a movement of the door device between a closed position and an open position in a controlled manner. The magnetorheological damper device has a piston unit and a cylinder unit which surrounds the piston unit. The piston unit divides a cylinder volume into two chambers. The piston unit has a first piston rod, which extends through the first chamber, and a second piston rod, which extends through the second chamber.
Abstract:
A method for damping a movement of a door system of a vehicle that is equipped with a damping system having an adjustable and controllable damping action. A movement of the door system between a closed position and an open position is damped in a controlled manner. A measurement of the change in speed of the speed of movement of the door system is calculated and if the change in speed exceeds a predefined limit value, a set, gentle damping action is changed over to a greater damping action.
Abstract:
A drive device for a movable furniture part includes a lockable push-out device for pushing the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position. The push-out device can be unlocked by virtue of the movable furniture part being pushed into an excess-pressure position located behind the closed position, as seen in the closing direction. An excess-pressure region is located between the closed position and an excess-pressure position. The drive device also has a damping device for damping the closing movement of the movable furniture part. The damping device has displacement-dependent damping, in which the damping force in a main damping region, located in front of the closed position—as seen in the opening direction, is higher than in the excess-pressure region.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sliding arrangement, in particular a slide-out device for drawers, sliding doors, etc., having a sliding piece and a pulling arrangement which can be coupled together by means of a coupling piece, wherein the pulling arrangement can be placed in a resiliently pretensioned manner in a parking position and wherein the pulling arrangement can be blocked in the parking position by means of a locking element. In order to ensure a reliable movement of a drawer or the like into the closure position, there is provision according to the invention for the locking element to be locked in the parking position of the pulling arrangement by means of a bar.
Abstract:
A rotation and stop retention switching apparatus includes a shaft portion within which an output shaft of a drive motor is configured to be disposed, a pivot member placed at a circumference of the shaft portion, a rotary body placed opposite the body in an axial direction, a pivot shaft pivotally supporting the pivot member, a biasing member disposed at the pivot member to be supported thereby, and a switching member pressing the pivot member to separate the pivot member from the shaft portion against a biasing force applied by the biasing member in accordance with a rotation of the output shaft. The rotary body rotates by a rotation force applied by the output shaft by a gap formed between the pivot member and the shaft portion in a case where the pivot member is pressed by the switching member in accordance with the rotation of the output shaft.
Abstract:
A folding façade or folding awning arrangement includes at least two façade or awning elements, wherein a first façade or awning element is fixed on a building so that it can pivot about an axis, and wherein a second façade or awning element is pivotally held about a second displaceable axis and can be displaced along guides by means of a drive member, and wherein further a first collapsing edge of the first façade or awning element is pivotally connected to a second collapsing edge of the second façade and awning element to form a collapsing joint and can be moved in a manner released from the guides, collapsing transversely to the façade. The arrangement further includes at least one collapsible/fold-out and/or locking means. Safe operation is achieved in that at least one pivoting actuating element is provided in the form of a collapsing/fold-out, pulling/drawing, and/or locking means.
