Abstract: A refuse container contains at least one door which may be easily pushed toward an open position in which the door rotates into an interior of the container. The door returns to a closed position under the force of a closing mechanism which may be a spring. However, the closing of the door is slowed by a damping mechanism.

Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a storage unit defining a front opening, and a closure member configured to cover the front opening. The closure member is attached to the storage unit for movement between open, intermediate and closed positions. The storage apparatus further includes a dampening element operably coupled to the closure member and the storage unit. The dampening element provides enhanced resistance to the movement of the closure member during a final phase of the opening and closing movements of the closure member while not providing enhanced resistance during an initial phase of the opening and closing movements.

Abstract: A damping device (14) for movable furniture parts comprising a fluid damper which is in the form of a rotational damper (20) and which includes two members which are rotatably movable relative to each other, namely a housing and a drum disposed in the housing. A damping fluid, for example a silicone oil, is disposed in the housing. During the damping action one of the two members is rotated by an actuating member and the other member is held fast. The rotational damper (20) is radially displaceably mounted and during the damping action is pressed by the actuating member against a retaining element (17).

In a rotary damper (1) in which a rotary member (5) includes: a basement portion (6) axially supported by a drive shaft (4); a torque adjustor (7) capable of relatively moving on the drive shaft (4); a slide member (8) positioned through and facing the torque adjustor (7); and a spring (9) for energizing the slide member (8) to a cam, the slide member (8) is moved in the radial direction by relatively moving the torque adjustor (7) to a position having a predetermined angle against the drive shaft (4), and a predetermined radial clearance is formed between an outer surface (8b) of the slide member (8) and an inner peripheral surface (3a) of a chamber, thereby changing the clearance to change a torque generated by the rotation of the rotational member (5).

Abstract: A front lid opening and closing assist which enables an easy and safe operation of opening and closing a front lid of a keyboard instrument. A buffer in the front lid opening and closing assist has a first damping mechanism for damping the front lid when pivoted from a neutral position to an open position, and a second damping mechanism for damping the front lid when pivoted from the neutral position to a closed position. When the front lid is pivoted beyond the neutral position, it spontaneously pivots toward the open or closed position by its own weight. However, this motion is damped by the first and second damping mechanisms, which results in a slowed pivot motion of the front lid. As a result, a user can safely open or close the front lid relative to a back lid, with only minimal force for supporting the front lid.

Abstract: The one-way hinge damper includes a cylindrical housing into a rotor is rotatably inserted. A gap is formed between the rotor and the cylindrical housing which is filled with silicone or a similar viscous fluid for damping the rotation of the rotor. The damping can be increased by forming longitudinal grooves or similar discontinuities in the interior surface of the cylindrical housing and longitudinal passageways on the exterior surface of the rotor. A clutch, to which the output shaft is attached, is biased against an end of the rotor by a wave spring. Both the clutch and the end of the rotor include complementary rotationally alternating ramped surfaces and flat (or longitudinally level) surfaces. Radially extending walls are formed between the higher end of the ramped surfaces and the adjacent flat surface. When the output shaft and the clutch are rotated in a first direction, the radially extending walls of the clutch align with and engage the radially extending walls of the rotor and the rotor rotates through the viscous fluid thereby achieving damping. However, when the output shaft and clutch are rotated in a second direction, the ramped surfaces of the clutch "ramp over" the ramped surfaces of the rotor, and the rotor does not rotate, thereby allowing the clutch and output shaft to rotate substantially free of damping.

Abstract: A rotary damper for use with a toilet lid has a damper shaft rotatably supported by a damper housing, a collar of synthetic resin fitted over the damper shaft for rotation therewith, and a casing of synthetic resin fixed to the damper housing and disposed around the collar for rotation relative thereto. The collar has a pair of diametrically opposite axial ridges disposed on the outer circumferential surface thereof and projecting radially outwardly. The casing has a pair of diametrically opposite cantilevered resilient arms defined by respective slits in the circumferential wall thereof. The cantilevered resilient arms have respective axial teeth disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the casing and projecting radially inwardly for engagement with the axial ridges, respectively. When the collar rotates in one direction, respective slanting surfaces of the axial ridges engage and move over the respective axial teeth, displacing the axial teeth radially outwardly against the resiliency of the cantilevered resilient arms. After the axial ridges move past the respective axial teeth, respective step surfaces of the axial ridges are locked by the axial teeth, retaining the collar and hence the damper shaft in a rotated position unless strong forces are applied to rotate the damper shaft backward.

Abstract: A one-way damping system is provided for dampening the movement of a closure member when the closure member is moved in a first direction toward its opened position such that the closure member is opened at a controlled rate of speed, and for permitting the closure member to be moved in a second direction toward its closed position such that the closure member is able to be closed at an undampened or unrestricted rate of speed. The closure member includes a gear rack integrally molded therewith, and a rotary damper gear is movable into engagement with and out of engagement from the gear rack in order to provide the dampened and undampened movement modes. An idler gear or a pair of control arms are operatively associated with the rotary damper gear so as to ensure proper engagement and disengagement of the rotary damper gear with respect to the gear rack.
