Abstract:
A movably mounted furniture part includes a torque-transmitting shaft, especially a synchronizing rod. The shaft has at least two sub-shafts, one sub-shaft being a rod-type component and the other sub-shaft being a connecting part. A connecting device connects the rod-type component to the connecting part, and can include at least one spring that resiliently holds the rod-type component and the connecting part together. A locking part is formed on the rod-type component and/or on the connecting part and/or can be mounted thereon, with the locking part securing the rod-type component and the connecting part against detachment.
Abstract:
A hinge apparatus has a first attachment member to be attached to a housing, a second attachment member to be attached to a door; and first and second links, respective basal end portions of the first and the second links rotatably attached to the first attachment member, respective distal end portions of the first and the second links rotatably attached to the second attachment member. The first attachment member, the second attachment member, the first link and the second link constitute a link mechanism. The first attachment member has a base member to be attached to the housing, and a connecting member removably attached to the base member. The basal end portions of the first and the second links are rotatably attached to the connecting member. The connecting member, the second attachment member, the first link and the second link constitute a link mechanism.
Abstract:
A dual-shaft synchronous motion device includes a first shaft and a second shaft; a first rotor disposed on the first shaft and turned synchronously; a second rotor disposed on the second shaft and turned synchronously; and a tractive member disposed between the first rotor and the second rotor. When the first shaft drives the first rotor to turn, the tractive member brings the second rotor to turn reversely relative to the first rotor so that the first and second shafts are turned synchronously.
Abstract:
A foldable panel gate includes an inner panel section and an outer panel section foldable relative to one another between open and closed positions of the gate. An operating linkage controls displacement of the outer panel section relative to the inner panel section as the inner panel section is driven by a suitable drive between the open and closed positions. The linkage includes a pivotal body coupled to the inner panel section, a first connecting link pivotally coupled between the gate post and the pivotal body, and a second connecting link pivotally coupled between the pivotal body and the outer panel section to fold the outer panel section relative to the inner panel section through a range of 180 degrees as the inner panel section is driven through a range of 90 degrees between the open and closed position.
Abstract:
A synchronous folding device includes two opposing folding members and a multi-joint rotary axle structure mounted between the two folding members. The multi-joint rotary axle structure has two ends which can be folded or unfolded synchronously. The multi-joint rotary axle structure includes a driving joint assembly and a driven joint assembly. The driving joint assembly includes two opposing joint plates and a middle link plate. Two ends of the driving joint assembly are respectively connected to the two opposing folding members. Each joint plate of the driving joint assembly can be turned free through plural turning centers so that both ends can be closed or opened synchronously for the folding device to be folded or unfolded accurately.
Abstract:
Locking and ejecting a movable furniture part involves two unlockable ejection devices arranged on both sides of a furniture body, or on the movable furniture part, and spring-loaded ejectors the unlockable ejection devices comprise a catch element mounted on a linearly displaceable carriage, the catch element engaging into a slotted guide path having the shape of a heart curve and by which the movable furniture part can be held in a closed latching position (E) via a locking element. This latching position (E) can be released by overpressing the movable furniture part towards the interior, wherein the linearly displaceable carriages of the two unlockable ejector devices are motionally coupled via a rotatable synchronization rod.
Abstract:
A door coordinator includes a base fixed to a mounting face of a door frame to which inactive and active doors are pivotably mounted. A pivotal member includes an axle pivotably mounted to the base. A first arm extends from an end of the axle. A shorter second arm is formed on the other end of the axle. A buffering wheel and a guiding wheel are rotatably mounted to the first and second arms, respectively. A pressing bolt is threadedly engaged in a screw hole in a rear end of the second arm. The pressing bolt is rotatable relative to the second arm to adjust a length of an exposed section of the pressing bolt outside of the screw hole, such that a height of each of the buffering wheel and the guiding wheel in a vertical direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the axle can be adjusted.
Abstract:
In a folding shutter arrangement having three or more inherently rigid folding shutter elements (12) having element edges that bend out and element edges that do not bend out in alternation, a first folding shutter element (12A) is or can be fastened indirectly or directly to the building (1) so as to be pivotable about a first axis (12A′), which is stationary or nearly stationary with respect to a building (1), near a (first) element edge (13A) that does not bend out. A second folding shutter element (12B) is pivotably retained about a second axis (12B′), which can be moved perpendicularly to itself, near a second element edge (13B) that does not bend out, and can be moved along guides (16A, 16B) arranged perpendicular to the second element edge (13B) in pairs. Adjacent folding shutter elements (12A, 12B; 12C, 12D; . . . ) are pivotably connected to each other in pairs at the third element edges (15A, 15B) thereof, which bend out and which are opposite from and parallel to the first and second element edges (13A, 13B; . . . ), by means of a bend-out joint (14A, 14B; . . . ). Additional folding shutter elements are connected in pairs to the preceding folding element pair and/or a last folding shutter element freely protruding at the end is pivotably connected to the folding element pair(s) near the second, fourth, or further element edge (13B; . . . ) that does not bend out. At least one driving element (30) is provided, which can be moved along at least one of the guides (16A, 16B) and which drives at least one, preferably the last, of the second, fourth, or further element edge (13B, . . . ) that does not bend out, in the opening or closing direction, and which forcibly pivots the folding shutter elements (12B, 12C; . . . ) connected to at least one of the element edges (13B; . . . ) that do not bend out, in pairs in the opening or closing direction by means of at least one coupling element (32A, 32B, 32C).
Abstract:
A device to be applied at least between a side wall of the internal space of a piece of furniture and an adjacent door thereof, in order to render it laterally retracting during the opening of the internal space, comprising a pivoting upright interposed along the side of the door that is to be rendered laterally retracting of a piece of furniture, and provided with longitudinal guides for the vertical sliding of one of the two ends of a pair of rockers, each rocker being able to oscillate on a respective pivot, which is integrally pivoted to the same shoulder of a compartment, and is formed by a pair of arms which converge and are mutually integral.
Abstract:
A hinge device increases an open angle of a second member relative to a first member without enlarging the hinge device. A first pulley is fixed to a first mounting member mounted on the first member. A second pulley is fixed to a second mounting member mounted on the second member. A timing belt runs between the first and second pulleys. One end of a connecting member that connects the first mounting member to the second connecting member connects rotatably to an axis part of the first mounting member, with the opposite end connected rotatably to an axis part of the second mounting member. Pins to that abut to the outside of the timing belt are provided such that the width between one side and the opposite side of the timing belt becomes smaller than the diameter of at least one of the first pulley and the second pulley.
