Cabinets, methods for making cabinets, and aircraft including cabinets are provided. In one example, a cabinet includes a cabinet body that at least partially surrounds a cabinet space and that defines a cabinet opening that allows access to the cabinet space. A cabinet door at least partially covers the cabinet opening when in a closed position and extends upward from a lower edge portion to an upper edge portion. The cabinet door has an outer exposed surface facing generally in a first direction away from the cabinet space when in the closed position. The cabinet door is operatively coupled to the cabinet body for opening from the closed position to an open position including the lower edge portion moving generally upward and the upper edge portion moving generally upward and towards the first direction to expose the cabinet opening.

An opening and closing body control apparatus for a vehicle includes an assist control portion configured to detect an operation of an opening and closing body of the vehicle by an operator or a user and control voltage applied to a motor serving as a drive source which applies a drive force to the opening and closing body during the operation of the opening and closing body by the operator or the user. The assist control portion applies an assist voltage and an offset voltage alternately to the motor to operate an assist control for applying the drive force to the opening and closing body. The assist voltage for rotating the motor at a rotation speed which corresponds to an operation speed of the opening and closing body and the offset voltage being lower than the assist voltage.

A furniture board with an integrated or inserted flap fitting includes a lever mechanism having a plurality of levers guiding a flap of a furniture item. The flap fitting has a spring unit acting on at least one lever of the lever mechanism via an adjustable preload. The lever mechanism, in a closed position of the guided flap, moves into a front-side opening of the flap fitting and a front-side opening of the furniture board. The preload of the spring unit and/or the transmission ratio between the spring unit and the lever mechanism is adjustable via an adjusting element having a tool receptacle. The tool receptacle is accessible through a front-side opening in the furniture board and/or the flap fitting.

The tool receptacle is accessible through a front-side opening in the furniture board and/or the flap fitting.

A door actuator linkage includes a lever extending along a longitudinal axis, which merges into a linkage head with an offset, wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft of a door actuator, wherein a free space for cable routing is formed by the offset. The free space is delimited by the linkage head and by an offset surface of the lever, wherein the lever protrudes up to an imaginary boundary surface, which is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The offset surface is withdrawn partially from this boundary surface in order to expand the free space.

A hinge for the controlled rotatable movement of a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure includes a pivot, a hinge body and a hydraulic damping cylinder. The pivot has a first axis and includes a cam, and the hinge body is engaged to the pivot so as to be rotatably coupled to each other around the first axis. The hydraulic damping cylinder includes a jacket and a plunger element, and the jacket defines a second axis, houses a working fluid and is divided into a first and a second variable volume compartment in fluid communication with each other. The plunger has a first and a second end respectively inserted into the first and second variable volume compartment to slide sealingly in the jacket. The hinge body includes a working chamber defining a third axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis and contains an elastic counteracting member.

A low-bulkiness hinge for closing a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure, such as a wall, a frame or a floor includes a hinge body which includes a longitudinal operating chamber defining a first axis, a pivot coupled to the hinge body to rotate around a second axis between the opening and closing positions of the closing element, and a slider slidable in the operating chamber along the first axis. The operating chamber has a first seat for the pivot and a second seat for the sliding of the slider, which includes a shaft and an operative head that are mutually coupled. The hinge body has a first opening for inserting, perpendicularly to the first axis, the operative head into the second seat and a second through opening for inserting, coaxially to the first axis, the shaft into the housing. The hinge further has the shaft and the operative head fixed to one another after insertion in the second seat (so as to form a unitary assembly integrally slidable along the first axis.

A guide system includes a first guide rail for guiding a door wing, a second guide rail for guiding the door wing. A carrier can move the door wing relative to the second guide rail in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail. A drive device has a force storage member, and the carrier can be at least partially ejected by the drive device from the retracted position of the carrier by a force of the force storage member. The drive device includes a coupling portion and a control curve, and the coupling portion and the control curve are decoupled over a large part of the movement of the carrier between the extended position and the retracted position. The carrier can be retracted into the retracted position starting from a position immediately before the retracted position when the coupling portion couples with the control curve.

An exemplary housing assembly is configured for use with a door operator. The housing assembly generally includes a bracket configured for mounting to the door operator, a case configured to at least partially enclose the door operator, and an attachment mechanism configured to selectively couple the bracket with the case. In certain forms, the attachment mechanism includes a resilient clip arm formed on one of the bracket or the case, and a tang formed on the other of the bracket or the case. The resilient clip arm is configured to engage the tang to maintain engagement between the bracket and the case.
