A method is provided for setting up a furniture drive via an electronic device, in particular a mobile terminal, smart phone, or computer, and the furniture drive includes a storage unit. The method includes, preferably in chronological order: in an assembly operator region of the electronic device, storing a digital data set relating to at least one static parameter and/or a dynamic parameter on the storage unit via the electronic device, in particular as a wireless signal transmission; and storing in an end user region of the electronic device, a digital data set relating to the dynamic parameter on the storage unit via the electronic device, in particular as a wireless signal transmission.

A bi-fold door stop controls movement and travel of lead and pivot doors in a set of vertically hung bi-fold doors. The bi-fold door stop has at least two non-parallel surfaces that each may act upon one or both of the lead and pivot door stiles to limit movement in two directions. Movement transverse to the track longitudinal axis is limited when the bi-fold door is either fully open or fully closed, while parallel movement is controlled by limiting the extent that the bi-fold door may be opened. At least two non-parallel surfaces are provided that each may act upon one or more of the lead and pivot door stiles, while an additional surface may act upon the face of the pivot door. The bi-fold door stop may be fabricated as a single part using common molding operations, and acts directly on the door panels, thereby preserving bi-fold door hardware.

A sliding closet door leaf is provided with a shuttle connector (40a) configured to connect the door leaf to a soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a) arranged in a door guide, and the soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a) comprises a door leaf connector (62a) configured engage with the shuttle connector (40a), wherein the shuttle connector (40a) is connectable to the door leaf connector (62a) at anyone of at least a first mutual vertical relationship between the door leaf and the soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a), and a second mutual vertical relationship between the door leaf and the soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a).

An insertion station of a component (2), for example a clevis, in a component seat (12) formed in an assembly (3) to be assembled, for example a hinge assembly for doors, includes a component ordering device (14) to order the loose components coming from a component feed hopper. A component support seat (16) receives the component and is configured in such a way as to guide the component in the horizontal insertion direction. A manipulator (20) picks a component (2) from the component ordering device (14) and deposit the component in the component support seat (16). An insertion actuator (30) has a pusher member (32) operable to push the component (2) in the component seat (12), and a positioning unit (40), including an abutment (42) operable to block the assembly (3) in a component insertion position.

The invention relates to a fluid damper for bodies that are movable relative to one another, said damper comprising a piston that is movably guided in a cylinder. At least one through opening is provided in the piston and/or between the piston and the cylinder for through-flowing fluid. Adjustment means are provided on the fluid damper for adjusting a limitation least of the maximum possible through-flow cross section for the fluid at least one passage opening. The piston is connected to a piston rod leading out of the cylinder. The adjustment means comprises detent connection which is pushed, in a radially non-twistable manner, onto the end of the piston rod located in the cylinder, and holds the piston in a desired position in the cylinder.

The invention relates to a hinge for connecting two securing arts for directly or indirectly securing to two furniture parts pivotable relative to each other, the securing parts being pivotably connected to each other by means of a connecting assembly. It is thereby provided that a linear guide element is disposed on each of the two securing parts, said elements interacting to form a linear guide, and that the hinge comprises a guide device implemented for displacing the linear guide depending on the pivot position of the securing parts relative to each other. The invention further relates to a method for displacing a first securing part of a hinge in an articulated manner relative to a second securing part. The hinge and the method enable a pivotable connection between furniture parts having at least a reduced risk of injury.

A drive device for a movable furniture part, comprising an ejection force accumulator which can be tensioned, an ejection element mechanically loaded by the ejection force accumulator and used to carry out an ejection movement of the moveable furniture part from a closed position into an open position. The ejection movement can be initiated by a compression movement of the movable furniture part into a compression position which is behind the closed position. The drive device also comprises a tensioning device for tensioning the ejection force accumulator with energy which can be emitted by the ejection movement. During the compression movement, at least 50% of the energy emitted by the ejection force accumulator during the ejection movement can be introduced into the ejection force accumulator by the tensioning device.

A fixing device for fixing a second component part at a stationary first component part to be swivelable around a swiveling axis 2 having a cylinder that is displaceable transverse to the swiveling axis and filled with a fluid, a piston displaceably guided in the cylinder that divides the interior of the cylinder into a first working chamber and a second working chamber, with a first valve device that connects the first working chamber to the second working chamber when pressure in the first working chamber is higher than the pressure in the second working chamber, and a second valve device that connects the second working chamber to the first working chamber when pressure in the second working chamber is higher than the pressure in the first working chamber.

A system for improved cable management is disclosed in several example embodiments. The disclosed embodiments describe example structures for supporting cables, for example telecommunications and fiber optic cables, within a cable storage cabinet. The disclosed embodiments also describe a door for a cable storage cabinet. The example door includes a hinge control and handle system which allows the door to be opened along either side to therefore allow the door to be opened either way from a single handle. The disclosed embodiments also describes an indicator system which informs a user when the door for the cable storage cabinet is in either a closed position or an open position. Each of these embodiments improves the utility and safety of cable management, particularly within cable storage cabinets.
