A retraction device for two end positions has two driving elements which are connected to one another by a spring energy accumulator. Each driving element is displaceably mounted in a respective guide housing. A sliding door has such a retraction device, and a sliding door arrangement has such a sliding door. Each driving element is coupled or can be coupled to a cylinder-piston unit mounted in the respective guide housing. Both guide housings are adjustable relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the retraction device by means of at least one sliding joint. This provides a retraction device for two end positions, which can be used for a range of door widths without design modifications.

A torque-variable single-shaft rotary shaft structure with multiple frictional pairs includes a pivot shaft. A first support is secured to a pivot shaft and a second support is disposed on the pivot shaft. An adjustment wheel assembly, a frictional assembly and an elastic assembly are fitted on the pivot shaft. The adjustment wheel assembly and the frictional assembly have a first adjustment wheel and a second frictional member synchronously movable with the first support and a second adjustment wheel and a first frictional member synchronously movable with the second support. When the first and second supports are rotated, the first and second adjustment wheels are driven to contact and abut against each other so as to provide axial action forces. The frictional assembly has multiple first and second frictional members, which are alternately arranged in frictional contact with each other to form multiple frictional pairs.

A hinge for mounting a door on a piece of furniture or the like comprises a hinge arm, a box connected to the hinge arm by an articulation system comprising a plurality of movable connecting levers and seven articulation axes, spring means acting in closing direction of the hinge, and a damping device having an actuation member linearly movable according to a longitudinal axis; the damping device is at least partially enclosed between the side walls of the hinge arm, and the actuation member of the damping device extends at a front end of the hinge arm facing the hinge box for contacting thrust element of one of the connecting levers of the articulation system or integral with one of the connecting levers or with the hinge box at least in a range near the closing position of the hinge.

The invention comprises a door closer (1), a slide rail (3) and an arm (2). The arm is connected to the door closer (1) and to the slide rail (3). The slide rail is provided with a hold open device (4) in order to keep a door open. The arm (2) comprises an outer arm (8A, 9A) and an inner arm (8B, 9B). The inner is situated partly inside the outer arm in a sliding manner. The arm (2) also comprises a spring arrangement (11) in order to hold the inner arm (8B, 9B) in a normal position in the outer arm (8A, 9A), and a release device (10A, 10B). The release device is arranged to release the inner arm (8B, 9B) from its normal position when an external force being strong enough to active a release of the release device (10A, 10B) drives the inner arm (8B, 9B) out from the outer arm (8A, 9A).

First (3) and second (5) elements are mutually connected by a hinge pin (7). A transmission element (44) is interposed between the second element (5) and a cradle (53) end and includes elastic means (27) having an end connected to the cradle (53) end opposite to transmission element (44). An elongated first box member (41) contains, at least partially, the transmission element (44), the connected cradle (53) and the elastic means (27) whose end opposite to the cradle (53) is fixed to the first box member (41) transmitting the elastic closing force of the elastic means (27) to the second element (5). The cradle (53) contains a damper (57), each end of which has a respective transverse pin (58) whose ends slide in respective slots (54) formed in the cradle (53) and in respective slots (42) formed in the first box member (41).

A counterbalance assembly, including a housing, a pivot nose pivotably connected to the housing, and a spring pack disposed within a volume formed by the housing, the spring pack including a first end engaged with the housing, a second end engaged with the pivot nose, an energy storage device arranged between the first end and the second end, and a spring retainer operatively arranged to adjust a force of the energy storage device on the pivot nose.

A furniture drive for moving a movably mounted furniture part relative to a furniture body includes a drive unit to be mounted on or in the furniture body, and at least one movably mounted actuating part for moving the movable furniture part. A mounting stop that can be applied to the furniture body is provided on the drive unit.

A guide system is hingedly connected to a second furniture part, and has a rail arrangement including a guide rail having a longitudinal direction for guiding the furniture parts, and a carrier movably mounted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The carrier can be moved into a transfer position in which the carrier adjoins the guide rail in the longitudinal direction such that a guiding device to be connected to one of the furniture parts and movable along the guide rail can be transferred to and from between the guide rail and the carrier. The guide system includes a column connected to the carrier, the column being arranged vertically, and can be moved together with the carrier transversely to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The first furniture part is connected to the guiding device, and the second furniture part is movably connected to the column.
