Certain embodiments relate to an adjustment indicator mechanism for a door closer including a tubular portion and an adjustment screw mounted to the tubular portion. A housing is configured for mounting to the door closer, and includes a channel and indicia adjacent the channel, each of the indicia corresponding to a respective size of the door closer. An adjustment transmission includes a first component configured for coupling with the adjustment screw. An indicator transmission is engaged with the adjustment transmission and mounted in the housing. An indicator is movably mounted to the housing such that a portion of the indicator is visible via the channel. The indicator is engaged with the indicator transmission such that movement of the indicator transmission causes the indicator to selectively align with the indicia to thereby indicate the current size of the door closer.

An actuation device for a lifting system for door leaves of furniture, the actuation device comprising a fixing plate that can be connected to the body of the piece of furniture, a supporting lever for the door leaf, which is connected, so that it can oscillate, to the fixing plate at a fulcrum and comprises, at the fulcrum, a connecting portion that extends eccentrically with respect to the fulcrum, and elastic means that comprise a body for accommodating at least one elastic element.

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).

In a hinge device comprising a first member attached to a main body, a second member attachable to a door and rotatable about a vertical rotation axis with respect to the first member, a cam provided in the first member, and a linear damper provided in the second member and actuatable by the cam, the linear damper is disposed below the lower surface of the door.

A device for moving a furniture part held on a furniture body of an item of furniture having a guide with at least one pivot arm for pivoting the furniture part from a closed position into an open position relative to the furniture body and back with a base unit with an anchor plate. The device includes a positioning mechanism with a positioning portion formed in an intermediate region between the at least one pivot arm and the base unit. During a pivoting movement of the pivot arm, the positioning portion contacts an abutment surface on the pivot arm and/or on the base unit. Fine positioning of the pivot arm in an axial direction relative to its pivot axis is configurable by contact of the positioning portion with the abutment surface if the pivot arm has an axial offset with respect to a setpoint bearing position of the pivot arm.

An exemplary door closer includes a housing defining a hydraulic chamber having a hydraulic fluid disposed therein. A pinion is rotatably mounted to the housing and extends into the hydraulic chamber. A piston is mounted for reciprocal movement within the housing, and defines a rack engaged with the pinion. The housing further defines an aperture in fluid communication with the hydraulic chamber. A regulating screw is rotatably mounted within the aperture such that rotation of the regulating screw in a first direction advances the regulating screw into the hydraulic chamber and such that rotation of the regulating screw in an opposite second direction withdraws the regulating screw away from the hydraulic chamber. A stop member is mounted in the aperture such that the stop member limits withdrawing movement of the regulating screw to thereby prevent leaking of the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic chamber via the aperture.

A door closer having an elongate housing for mounting in a door leaf or door frame, the elongate housing having opposite forward and rear end parts, a plunger disposed in and movable along the housing, the plunger including a ferromagnetic material, a spring biasing element disposed in the housing and applying a first biasing force to bias the plunger inwardly of the housing and away from the forward end part and towards the rear end part, a tension member having a first end connected to the plunger and a second end connected to an anchor element assembly, the anchor element assembly comprising a mounting member for mounting in the other of the door leaf or door frame, the tension member and anchor element forming a tension assembly which extends through the forward end part.

A flap fitting for furniture having a housing secured to a body. A support lever is rotatably mounted on the housing about a first axis of rotation. The support lever is connected to a flap about a second axis of rotation using a connection. A control lever is connected via the connection to the flap about a third axis of rotation. The control lever is articulatedly connected about a fourth axis of rotation to a control element and to the housing. The flap is pivotable via a gripping element. A center of rotation of the flap when in a closed position is located below the gripping element and when in a maximum open position is located above the gripping element. As a result the flap can be smoothly opened and closed by a user.

An adjustable tailgate apparatus includes a first attachment apparatus configured to attach to a tailgate of a vehicle and a second attachment apparatus configured to attach to a sidewall of the vehicle. The adjustable tailgate apparatus includes a variable span apparatus coupled to the first attachment apparatus and the second attachment apparatus and a locking mechanism configured to restrict movement of the variable span apparatus and constrain a distance between the first attachment apparatus and the second attachment apparatus.
