An example firearm receptacle includes a mounting structure, a firearm holder, and a door stopper. The mounting structure is configured to be fixably mounted to one of a wall or a door. The door stopper is configured to transition between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the example embodiment, the door stopper is configured to impede the opening of the door when the door stopper is in the deployed position and to allow the opening of the door when the door stopper is in the stowed position. The door stopper is additionally configured to prevent the door stopper from transitioning to the stowed position when a firearm is disposed in the firearm holder.

A door swing control device comprises a bracket affixed to a door, a pivoting element pivotably affixed to the bracket, and a swinging catch mechanism mounted directly or indirectly to the structure. The pivoting element comprises a finger extending therefrom and is engaged with the bracket to limit a range of movement of the pivoting element relative to the bracket. The finger is engageable with the swinging catch mechanism to limit a range of movement of the pivoting element relative to the swinging catch mechanism and thereby selectively limiting a range of movement of the bracket relative to the swinging catch mechanism. When the finger of the pivoting element is engaged with the swinging catch mechanism, the door is held in the first open position. When the finger of the pivoting element is disengaged from the swinging catch mechanism, the door can swing between the first and second open positions.

A hands-free door latch allows closing the door and latching the door shut without a person using the person's hands, and further allows unlatching the latch without the person using the person's hands. In one preferred embodiment, shutting the door causes the latch to close by the force of gravity. In some embodiments, the latch can be unlatched with a person's foot. In other embodiments, the latch can be unlatched with a person's arm or elbow. The hands-free door latch allows a person to latch and unlatch a door without hands, thereby decreasing the likelihood of exposing a person's hands to germs left by someone else.

A furniture fitting includes a lever mechanism for moving a furniture part, the lever mechanism including a lever pivotally supported about a hinge axis, and the lever has a, in particular cylindrical, opening in which the hinge axis is arranged with a clearance. A force storage member, preferably including a spring device, is provided for applying a force to the lever mechanism. The hinge axis, upon a pivoting movement of the lever, is movable from a first bearing location within the opening to a second bearing location within the opening under the influence of the force storage member. A spring element pressurizes the hinge axis with a force at least in a direction extending transversely to a notional connecting line of the two bearing locations of the hinge axis within the opening of the lever.

Disclosed is an assembly and a vehicle and apparatus including the assembly, for maintaining a vehicle door in an open position may include at least one rod member configured to connect at a first end to the door and at a second end to a vehicle frame. A tab may be connected to and extend in at least one direction from the rod member. A plunger may be configured to be anchored in the door and including a pin configured to extend from and retract into the plunger. The pin may be configured to engage the tab when extended and disengage from the tab when retracted.
