    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a door opener for an electrical appliance of household equipment. The door opener comprises an electric motor and a pusher drivable by means of the electric motor for pressing co-operation with the door of the electrical appliance. A power transmission mechanism is provided between the electric motor and the pusher, which is capable of ensuring a variable effective velocity of the pusher at the same rotational frequency of the electric motor. Certain embodiments provide for a multi-stage rack and pinion gear for this purpose, which is formed by a gear rim and a toothed rack, which can transmit the driving force of the electric motor to the pusher via various gear pairings that can be brought alternately into meshing engagement with one another.

    Abstract: A flap assembly for a vehicle includes a flap, which by way of a linear actuator drive is pivotably drivable about a pivot axis counter to the gravity of the flap from a closed position to an opened position. The flap assembly includes a spring assembly that acts in a supporting manner on the flap. The actuator drive has an actuator housing that has one end articulated on a component of the body of the vehicle, and an actuator rod being deployable from the other end of the housing. An external end of said actuator rod is articulated on the flap at a radial spacing from the pivot axis. The spring assembly is releasably disposed on the flap-side end region of the housing of the actuator drive and has a compression spring supported on the actuator housing and the flap at an initial opening angle of the flap
