The invention relates to a hinge for an item of furniture, comprising a first and a second hinge part (100, 200) that are pivotably interconnected by means of a hinged connection, the second hinge part (200) carrying or comprising a mounting element (300), the mounting element (300) comprising at least one guide assembly comprising at least one guide (405) that extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L) of the mounting element (300), the mounting element (300) being connected to a retaining part (400) when in the mounting position, and the guide assembly acting between the mounting element (300) and the retaining part (400), by means of which guide assembly the mounting element (300) can be moved into a mounting position in a manner guided in the guide direction. A significant improvement in the ease of mounting is achieved in a hinge of this kind if the guide assembly comprises a first centering guide (406), by means of which the mounting element (300) is aligned in a first mounting direction when adjusted in the guide direction (L).

A dampened hinge construction for braking pivoting movement of one structure relative to another. The dampened hinge construction can be utilized in a folding table assembly in an aircraft passenger suite including a base panel and at least one folding panel pivotally attached to the base panel by multiple dampened hinges. Each dampened hinge includes a first assembly attachable to a first structure and a second assembly attachable to a second structure such that the first structure is pivotable relative to the second structure between a first condition and a second condition, such as a folded condition and a planar condition, and at least one damper that brakes pivoting movement of the first structure relative to the second structure as the first condition or second condition is approached.

This invention provides sliding door enclosure assemblies for a framework structure, which uniquely enables equal lateral displacement of sliding doors, with the minimal engagement of a single door alone. More specifically, the sliding door enclosure assemblies of this invention comprise paired rotatable sliding doors, paired rotatable leaders, paired rotating conveyors, which conveyors are advanced by the paired rotatable leaders, guides which further comprise attachment regions to attach the paired rotatable sliding doors to the paired rotating conveyors and at least one interlocking rotatable movement regulator set of two elements, which rotate in equal and opposing directions, so that paired rotatable leaders operationally connected thereby promote lateral displacement of operationally connected rotatable sliding doors about the framework structure.

An arrangement for guiding a door on a furniture wall, includes a guide to be secured on the furniture wall, a carrier on which the door is to be secured, and a guide body. The carrier is/can be connected to the guide body such that they are coupled for movement, and via which the carrier is/can be moveably mounted on the guide. A securing device is provided comprising a mounting body that is/can be connected to the carrier and/or to the guide body, a second mounting body that is/can be connected to the guide and/or to the furniture wall, and a securing element. The securing element fixes the two mounting bodies in a secure position relative to one another and releases the same in a release position, such that the two mounting bodies can be moved relative to one another.

One end of first and second arms 30 and 40 are rotatably connected to a first hinge body 10 and a second hinge body 20, respectively. The other end of the first arm is guided by a second guide 25 of the second hinge body and the other end of the second arm is guided by a first guide 15 of the first hinge body. Friction torque is applied on the second hinge body by the friction plate 60. The first guide has a main guide portion 15x and a sub-guide portion 15y that is connected to an end of the main guide portion and draws an arc centered on the first shaft member. When the other end of the second arm is on the sub-guide portion, frictional resistance is not received, so that the second hinge body is automatically rotated by the urging member 70.

A sliding system enabling furniture doors to slide on a rail mechanism configured on the base of the furniture in order to open horizontally and operating with a special side plastic with a concealed damper.

A door hinge has a first leaf assembly, a second leaf assembly pivotally mounted on the first leaf assembly, a first adjustment part on the first leaf assembly, and a second adjustment part adjustable in an adjustment direction relative to the first adjustment part. An eccentric mounted on the first adjustment part for rotation about an eccentric axis engages in the second adjustment part. A screw thread connection secures the eccentric to the first adjustment part.

The invention relates to a hinge for a furniture item or a domestic appliance, in particular for a washing machine, having a first hinge part (10) and a second hinge part (40), wherein the two hinge parts (10, 40) are interconnected in an articulated manner by means of two hinge levers (20, 30), wherein a base part (70) is provided that has a fastening portion (71) with fastening elements (72) and also has a holding receptacle (77), wherein the second hinge part (40) is held on the holding receptacle (77), wherein the base part (70) has a fastening portion (75) that interacts with a holding element (41.1) of the second hinge part (40) in order to bring about a releasable connection between the second hinge part (40) and the base part (70), wherein the holding receptacle (77) has a guide (76.1), and wherein, with the connection released, the second hinge part (40) is guided on the base part (70) along the guide (76.1), preferably in a linearly adjustable manner, by means of at least one sliding piece (43). Such a hinge allows heavy doors to be hinged on in a simple manner.

A sliding door system includes a door frame and a sliding door leaf that can move relative thereto. A catch is arranged either on the door frame or on the sliding door leaf, which can be coupled to a drive element of a feed device arranged on the respective other component. The feed device has a spring energy store and a cylinder-piston unit. The cylinder-piston unit has a piston that separates a displacement chamber from a compensation chamber. A passage cross-section between the displacement chamber and the compensation chamber can be changed in a load-dependent manner by a piston disk that can be applied at a piston end side. The tension force of the tension spring of a minimal effective length is between 1.5 and 3.5 times the total static friction force of the sliding door leaf and the resistance of the cylinder-piston unit at the maximum passage cross-section.

The present invention relates generally to the field of cabinet locks. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cabinet lock device primarily comprised of a pendulum housing, a latch housing, a catch housing release, and a door plate that can be attached to a rear door surface of a cabinet door. The door plate further receives the catch housing release. The pendulum and latch housing is further comprised of a latch and a pendulum wherein the pendulum activates a series of internal mechanisms within the pendulum and latch housing when movement of the cabinet is detected, which ultimately releases the latch into the catch housing release such that the cabinet door automatically locks in an automatic fashion. The catch housing release is further comprised of a release lever that can be used to unlock the cabinet from the outside after the device has been locked.
