Abstract:
A system for a vehicle includes: a door; an electric actuating motor that opens and closes the door, the electric actuating motor configured for actuating at a hinge of the door; a push-open actuator mounted at a rear of the door, the push-open actuator configured for pushing against a body of the vehicle; and a wireless device configured for communications to the vehicle. A system for a vehicle includes: a front door; a rear door behind the front door, the rear door having a dual-hinge design that opens and closes in a substantially vertical direction; an electric actuating motor that opens and closes the front door, the electric actuating motor configured for actuating at a hinge of the front door; and a wireless device configured for communications to the vehicle.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a low profile, adjustable, soft close hinge comprised of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm and a hinge link in a four-bar linkage arrangement. A spring biases the hinge to a closed position. The hinge body is adjustably connected to an inner frame with an overlay adjustment screw and depth adjustment cam. The inner frame releasably connects the hinge body to a mounting plate. A stop bracket is adjustably and slidably connected to the hinge body by a helical cam. The adjustable position of the stop bracket relative to the hinge body determines the point at which the damping functionality of a damper begins during a hinge closing movement. A linkage sub-assembly pivotally connects the damper to the hinge link.
Abstract:
A device for moving a movable furniture part, the device including a force accumulator such that by way of the fitted device the furniture part under the action of the force accumulator is capable of being put in the opening direction, and wherein the device has a locking assembly for locking a tensioned position of the force accumulator, in which the force accumulator is charged for the opening movement of the furniture part, wherein the tensioned position is unlockable. A locking member of the locking assembly, and a movable lever of the device, which is coupled to the force accumulator, are present in an interacting manner such that in the locked tensioned position of the force accumulator, the locking member assumes a locking position, and the lever assumes a standby position in which cancelling of the standby position of the lever is blocked by the locking member.
Abstract:
A device for moving a movable furniture part, the device including a force accumulator such that when the device is fitted to an item of furniture, the movable furniture part in the case of an opening procedure by action of the force accumulator is capable of being put in an opening position by way of an ejector. A coupling installation is included, which in the case of a charging procedure of the force accumulator is effective between the ejector and the force accumulator. The ejector is designed in such a manner that the latter in the region of the end of the path thereof in the case of the opening procedure couples to the coupling installation. For a following closing procedure of the movable furniture part and a charging procedure of the force accumulator associated therewith, the coupling between the ejector and the force accumulator is in a clearance-free manner.
Abstract:
A damped hinge assembly is provided that comprises a hinge unit (10) and a damping unit (14). A mechanism is provided for connecting the two units together for purposes of transportation and handling, as well as for ease of installation. The connecting mechanism allows the units to move relative to one another between a transit state, which allows access for installation purposes, and a working position in which the damping unit is operative to provide resistance to closing movement of a door.
Abstract:
A rotary damper has a damper body having a receiving portion, and a rotor rotatably disposed in the receiving portion of the damper body. A space between an inner circumferential surface of the receiving portion and an outer circumferential surface of the rotor is divided into a plurality of pressure chambers. A rotation speed of the rotor is controlled to be at a low speed by a flow resistance of fluid filled in each of the pressure chambers when the fluid flows through gaps between an inner surface of the receiving portion and an outer surface of the rotor opposed to each other in a direction of a rotation axis of the rotor. The damper body and the rotor are relatively movable in the direction of the rotation axis of the rotor.

Abstract:
A combination door operator assembly and door, wherein the door operator assembly includes an operator unit mounted to the door on the pushing side thereof, an arm linkage having a driving arm and a driven arm, a second mounting bracket preferably on the frame of the door, a rechargeable power storage pack having at least one of a rechargeable battery and one or more capacitors, and a controller, for monitoring a speed and a position of the door, wherein when the door moves faster than a predetermined speed, the motor is used as a generator to charge the rechargeable power storage pack and the speed of the door is reduced.
Abstract:
A support arm for a sliding door of a mobile platform is provided and may include a first housing slidably attached to the mobile platform proximate to an opening of the mobile platform and a second housing attached to a door of the mobile platform and to the first housing. The second housing may be moveable relative to the first housing between a retracted state and an extended state.
Abstract:
A closet door support mechanism that provides rotation and translation of a door used to close the entry to a room such as a closet is disclosed. An example of the mechanism includes a first track that is generally straight and is connected to a first track retraction section by a curved section. The track sections are mounted a distance from the floor, and allow movement of a closet door through translation and rotation to close the entry of the closet.
