The first fitting portion has a first notional middle plane, and the second fitting portion has a second notional middle plane, and the middle planes are mutually spaced from one another in a direction extending parallel to the hinge axes.

A furniture fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture panel, and a second fitting portion to be fixed to a movably-mounted furniture part, the second fitting portion being pivotally connected to the first fitting portion. The first fitting portion includes a mounting portion having a fastening device for mounting the mounting portion to the furniture panel, and the first fitting portion includes a coupling portion hingedly connected to the second fitting portion. The coupling portion is releasably connected to the mounting portion, and the mounting portion includes a housing. The coupling portion, when connected with the mounting portion, is received within the housing. The coupling portion is releasably connected to the mounting portion by a locking device, the locking device including a movably-mounted locking element for releasably locking the coupling portion, and the locking element is pressurized by a force storage member.

A power trunk device includes a hinge arm coupled to a trunk lid and configured to be rotatably coupled to a vehicle body panel to define a trunk space, the hinge arm being configured to open and close the trunk lid, a torsion bar link rotatably coupled to a middle of the hinge arm, a torsion bar connected between the torsion bar link and the vehicle body panel in front of the hinge arm, the torsion bar being configured to provide elastic force in a direction in which the trunk lid is opened, and an electric drive unit connected between the hinge arm and the torsion bar, the electric drive unit being configured to be moved together with the hinge arm while providing rotational force to the hinge arm.

A furniture fitting for moving a movable furniture part relative to a furniture carcass includes a housing to be connected to the furniture carcass, and an actuating mechanism arranged or can be arranged at least in part within the housing. The actuating mechanism can be connected to the movable furniture part, and the actuating mechanism can swivel about at least one rotation axis. The actuating mechanism and/or at least one inner side of the housing facing the actuating mechanism has a local elevation, by which, at least in a relative position of the actuating mechanism to the housing, a play between the actuating mechanism and the inner side of the housing facing the actuating mechanism is at least halved in comparison to a region surrounding the local elevation.

First (3) and second (5) elements are mutually connected by a hinge pin (7). A transmission element (44) is interposed between the second element (5) and a cradle (53) end and includes elastic means (27) having an end connected to the cradle (53) end opposite to transmission element (44). An elongated first box member (41) contains, at least partially, the transmission element (44), the connected cradle (53) and the elastic means (27) whose end opposite to the cradle (53) is fixed to the first box member (41) transmitting the elastic closing force of the elastic means (27) to the second element (5). The cradle (53) contains a damper (57), each end of which has a respective transverse pin (58) whose ends slide in respective slots (54) formed in the cradle (53) and in respective slots (42) formed in the first box member (41).

The disclosure provides a bonnet hinge structure. The bonnet hinge structure pivotally supports the bonnet to the vehicle body from the rear end of the bonnet, and includes: a lower hinge member fixed to the vehicle body; an upper hinge member fixed to the bonnet fixing portion of the bonnet, and pivotally connected to the lower hinge member in a manner of being able to rotate to a first height relative to the lower hinge member in the up-down direction of the vehicle body; and a rotation suppressing portion provided with a deviation restricting member. When the upper hinge member is deformed in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the deviation restricting member comes into contact with the upper hinge member at a position of the second height lower than the first height from the top of the upper hinge member, and prevents the upper hinge member from rotating.

An improved bi-fold shutter that includes a more efficient coupling mechanism at a hinge point suited to facilitate opening and closing the bi-fold shutter with greater ease. In one embodiment, the shutter may be designed for a window such that the shutter, when closed, is relatively close to the face of the associated window, and when open, forms an awning or overhang. The shutter includes an improved coupling mechanism at a hinge point between a first shutter portion and a second shutter portion. The improved hinge point shifts a direction of force needed to maneuver the shutter when moving the shutter from one position to another. The shift in opening and closing force directions improves the efficiency by which the shutter can be operated. In some embodiments, the shutter may be hand-operated. In other embodiments, the shutter may be powered.

Aircraft door (1) including an opening (4), a frame (3), a hinge structure (5) and a circular translation guide device designed to maintain the orientation of the opening (4) during the opening or closing thereof. The hinge structure (5) is connected to the opening (4) by a lifting arm (8) allowing a lifting movement of the opening (4) relative to the hinge structure (5). The circular translation guide device includes a single link (11) connected to the frame (3) by one of the ends thereof and by the other of the ends thereof to a lever (13) which is attached to the hinge structure (5).
