Abstract:
A bearing device for sliding panels particularly for furniture is described which comprises: two sections (4) fixed at one end thereof at the upper cross-bar and at the other end thereof at the lower cross-bar of the piece of furniture respectively, by hinge means; a telescopic sliding guide (5) fixed to each of the sections (4) on the side where the panel (2) is located, the panel being slidably fixed to the telescopic guide (5). Means (11,13) for stopping the rotations of the sections (4) are placed substantially at the end of the sections which is opposite to the hinge means. The device also comprises elastic return means (22) connected at one end to a fixed portion (20) of the piece of furniture and, at the other end, to a pin (24) set in the sections (4). The elastic means are adapted to place and retain the panels (2) in their closed and open positions respectively. The elastic means comprise a spring (22), a small shaft (17) supporting the spring, the shaft being rotatably set in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of rotation of section (4). The shaft has one end rotatatively connected around a portion (20) of a pin (11), perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the section (4), the other end being slidingly set within a pin (24), parallel to the pin (11). The pin (11) is rotatively set around its longitudinal axis in the sections (4).
Abstract:
A hinge device for the rotatable movement of a closing element, such as a door, a window, a shutter or the like, between a closing position and an opening position, includes a fixed element anchorable to a stationary support structure; a movable element anchorable to the closing element so that the movable element rotates around a first longitudinal axis between a first opening position and a second closing position; a plunger that is operatively coupled to the movable element by a coupling system configured so that along a first section of the sliding of a connecting shaft, the plunger does not slide, thereby allowing a free rotation of the movable element, and along a second section of the sliding of the connecting shaft, the plunger slides integrally joined with the connecting shaft, thereby controlling the rotation of the movable element.
Abstract:
A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.
Abstract:
In one embodiment a retrofittable soft-close device is configured to close an automobile hatch. Once a cycle is initiated a hook plate may pull a striker towards a latched position.
Abstract:
A door assembly of a vehicle includes a first door panel located in a first guide groove and movable at least partially across a door opening from a first side of the door opening toward a second side of the door opening, and a second door panel spaced apart from the first door panel and located in a second guide groove. The second door panel is movable at least partially across the door opening from the first side toward the second side. One or more first magnetic elements are located at the first door panel, and one or more second magnetic elements disposed at the second door panel. A magnetic force between the one or more first magnetic elements and the one or more second magnetic elements urges the first door panel into contact with a sidewall of the first guide groove.
Abstract:
A door assembly of a vehicle includes a first door panel movable at least partially across a door opening from a first side of the door opening toward a second side of the door opening, a second door panel spaced apart from the first door panel and movable at least partially across the door opening from the first side toward the second side. A first magnetic element is located at the first door panel and a second magnetic element is located at the second door panel. The second magnetic element is interactive with the first magnetic element such that moving of the first door across the door opening causes movement of the second door panel across the door opening.
Abstract:
An appliance hinge assembly includes an arm to be mated with a receiver. A door mounting lever is adapted to be connected to an appliance door, and the lever includes an inner end pivotally connected to the arm. The lever pivots relative to the arm between a first position and a second position, through an intermediate position. A slide link is located adjacent the lever and includes an inner end and outer end. The slide link inner end is pivotally connected to the arm at a location that is offset from the main pivot axis such that pivoting movement of the lever about the main pivot axis results in movement of the slide link relative to the lever. A biasing system includes a spring that urges the lever toward the first position. A damper system includes a damper that damps movement of the lever.
