Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (2) for connecting a displaceable element (1), especially a glass, metal or wooden panel to a guiding device (93; 93a), said guide device being guided in a rail (91; 91a). The inventive device comprises a first and a second fixing part (31; 41). Said fixing parts contain outer panels (32; 42) and fitting elements (33; 43) which can be interconnected by means of an axle (35). Said fitting elements (33; 43) are inserted into a cut out section (11) on the edge of the displaceable element (1) and interconnected. The fitting elements (33; 43) encompass a connection screw (6) which can be connected to the guide device (93; 93), said connection screw (6) having a screw shaft (63) with a screw head (62), a securing element (61) and a thread. The fitting element (33) of the first fixing part (31) has a channel (36) for receiving the screw shaft (63), said channel having channel walls (34), a trough (39) for receiving the screw head (62) and a cavity (37) for receiving the securing element (61). Said securing element (61) can be stopped by a stop screw (53; 53a). The fitting element (43) of the second fixing part (41) has a recess (44) for receiving the channel walls (34) and an opening through which the screw head (62) can be accessed. The assembled device is adjusted by loosening the stop screws (53) by a few turns and turning the connection screw (6) until the displaceable element (1) is set at the desired height. The stop screws (53) are then re-tightened. The securing element (61) is part of the connection screw (6) and is encompassed in the device (2) so that the top edge of the displaceable element (1) can be drawn practically up to the rail (91; 91a).

An improved hinge (1; 100; 150; 200; 250; 300) for revolving shutters (A), especially of shower boxes, comprising a structural assembly which includes a strike block (2; 201) defining a substantially vertical main axis (Y) and suitable to be made integral with a fixed or bearing auxiliary structure (A′), a pair of shaped flanges (3, 4; 103, 104; 203, 204; 203, 204) opposite, facing and coupled each other through fastening means (5) in such a way as to define a side recess (6) in which the strike block is substantially housed (2; 201), a side groove (7) which communicates with the outside and develops for at least part of the perimeter of the shaped flanges (3, 4; 103, 104; 203, 204; 253, 254) and is suitable to receive a peripheral portion of a revolving shutter (A) of a shower box, and an inner seat (8) hidden from view in which rotation means (9) are stably housed defining an auxiliary axis (Y′) parallel to the main axis (Y) of the strike block (2; 201) and cooperating, on one hand, with the strike block (2; 201) itself in such a way as to define a first operative position, in which the revolving shutter (A) closes, remaining stable in position, a room of the shower box, and at least one second operative position, in which the rotating shutter (A), as a result of rotation around the main axis (Y) imparted by a user, opens fully, remaining stable in position, the room of the shower box, and, on the other side, with elastic means (10) suitable to retain the rotation means (9) stably against the strike block (2; 201) at each of aforesaid operative positions. In particular, the elastic means (10) comprise an elastically yielding laminar body (11) shaped in such a way as to substantially embed in its own overall encumbrance the rotation means (9) which include a single idle roller (12; 156) extending for the entire height (H), defined parallel to said main axis (Y), of a head portion (13) of the strike block (2; 201), opposite to the base portion (14) associated with the fixed or bearing auxiliary structure (A′).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hinge for a domestic appliance for pivotably fastening a lid to a body of the domestic appliance, comprising a first hinge element and a second hinge element, which are pivotably connected to each other and which can be pivoted in relation to each other between an open position and a closed position. The hinge is characterized in that a control lever is rotatably supported on the first hinge element and a control gate is formed on the second hinge element, in which control gate a control pin formed on the control lever is guided, wherein the control gate is shaped in such a way that, during a closing motion of the hinge, an intermediate position is assumed and held until the closing motion is continued to the closed position, whereas the hinge is pivoted to the open position during an opening motion from the closed position. The invention further relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a top-loading washing machine, comprising a body, to which a lid is pivotably fastened by means of at least one such hinge.
Abstract:
A connecting device, in particular for installing at least one opening stay on a window leaf has a rail, which can be guided as far as possible in the direction of the first longitudinal axis thereof into a groove of the connecting device. The groove engages at least in sections behind the rail. The blocking of the longitudinal displaceability of the rail in the groove is guaranteed at least counter to the first longitudinal direction by a projection connected to the rail, which projection engages in a recess in the region of the groove. The projection is held in the installed position of the connecting device by a spring element in the recess. A spring element is arranged on the rail preferably in a limited movable manner. Alternatively or in addition, the connecting device can comprise a cap which holds the projection in the installed position of the connecting device indirectly and/or directly at least partially in the recess.
Abstract:
A furniture hinge includes an arm member, a casing, an inner link, an outer link, and a resilient device. The arm member includes at least one wall. The at least one wall includes a first mounting structure. The casing can be opened and closed with respect to the arm member. Each of the inner link and the outer link has two end portions respectively and pivotally connected to the arm member and the casing via shafts. The resilient device provides a resilient force acting between the casing and the arm member and includes a second mounting structure to be mounted to the first mounting structure.
Abstract:
A turning member includes a pair of projecting shafts projecting coaxially in a shaft wall member formed in both right and left end portions of a shaft member. The turning member further includes a projecting portion projecting on a tip face of the projecting shaft, wherein a diameter is reduced relative to the projecting shaft. Usually, the projecting shaft is received in a bearing hole of a base member, so that the turning member is axially supported on the base member. When an unexpected external force is applied to the turning member, the projecting shaft is disengaged from the bearing hole so as to absorb an impact, thereby preventing damage to members, and the projecting portion engages the bearing hole and is held in a state received in the bearing hole, thereby preventing the turning member from dropping out.

Abstract:
Hinge for furniture, comprising at least one pair of leaves (6-7) mounted in a transverse housing in a supporting profile (1) by means of parallel independent rotation pins (14), which extend through the knuckles (9) of the leaves, said knuckles being equipped with teeth (18), parallel to the rotation pins (14), which mesh with one another.
Abstract:
The carriage provided to hold a displaceable separation element comprises a carriage body provided with at least two running wheels, which carriage body is connected to a carrier profile, which serves to carry the separation element. According to the invention the threaded shank of an adjusting screw is rotationally held in the carriage body, which adjusting screw comprises below the screw head a flange ring, which supports a flange element provided in the carrier profile, which flange element comprises an opening, through which the screw head is guided. By rotating the adjusting screw the carrier profile can thus be optionally adjusted in height. In a preferred embodiment a tool channel is provided in the carrier profile, into which tool channel a conventional tool can be introduced.
