BI-FOLD DOOR
20230083772 · 2023-03-16 ·

The present disclosure is directed to a bi-fold door system, apparatus, or device including a first panel, a second panel, and a center post. When in a fully closed position, the bi-fold door limits access to a lavatory on an aircraft, and, alternatively, when in a fully opened position, the bi-fold door allows or provides access to the lavatory on the aircraft. When in the closed position, a user within the lavatory may lock the bi-fold door in the closed position by stepping on a foot pedal at an interior of the bi-fold door. The foot pedal mechanically cooperates with a lock rod and an escapement mechanism the user stepping on the foot pedal moves the lock rod from a retracted position to an extended position locking the bi-fold door in the closed position. To exit the lavatory, the user may unlock the bi-fold door utilizing the foot pedal and then interact with a hands-free actuation mechanism to move the bi-fold door from the closed position to the opened position. When in the opened position, the bi-fold door may be held open for a selected period of time such that the user may exit the lavatory without physically contacting the bi-fold door.

Furniture hinge for upward-opening cabinet doors

The present invention determines the final opening position of the furniture door in the upward direction by means of the furniture hinge comprising an opening angle adjustment thereon. Said furniture hinge comprises a housing; a hinge arm connected axially to the furniture door from its one end and to said housing from the other end by means of a first rotating pin; a power unit that is connected axially between a lever arm and a third rotating pin and that comprises at least one spring forming a force on the hinge arm; a movement arm that is connected axially to said hinge arm from its one end and connected axially to said lever arm from the other end and that ensures the force transmission between said force unit and hinge arm; and an opening angle adjustment that allows for determining the final opening position of the furniture door in the upward direction, has an adjustment element in an axially rotatable and a damper thereon and comprises a body that may move linearly by means of the axial rotation of said adjustment element.

CONTAINER CABINET

A container cabinet has a box-like structure and a door connected to the box-like structure by an articulated quadrilateral. The box-like structure has a first side shoulder and a second side shoulder, an upper panel, a lower panel, and a front part. The articulated quadrilateral, supporting and guiding the door from a door closing position to a door maximum opening position, has a crank having a first crank end and a second crank end, and a rocker arm. The crank is hinged with the first crank end to the door and with the second crank end to the upper or lower panel to rotate about a crank vertical rotation axis. The rocker arm is connected, on one side, to the door and, on an opposite side, to the first side shoulder and has a movable side panel having a movable side panel front end and a movable side panel rear end, respectively hinging the movable side panel to the door and to the first side shoulder.

Movement system for a closure structure with folding movement
11629546 · 2023-04-18 · ·

Movement system for a closure structure with folding movement, comprising a transmission hinge which connects a first panel to a second panel of the closure structure. The transmission hinge has a first wing fixed to the first panel, a movement lever hinged to the first wing around a first axis, and a second wing which is hinged to the movement lever around a second axis and is fixed to the second panel. The movement system comprises a transmission mechanism which, following the rotation of the first panel, drives the movement lever to rotate around the first axis. The transmission hinge comprises a gear connecting the first wing to the second wing so that, following the rotation of the movement lever, the second wing is actuated by such gear to rotate around the second axis in order to make the second panel rotate with respect to the first panel.
