Hinge device provided with power generating device and capable of extracting energy from user's living activities to generate electric power

A hinge device includes: a first and a second hinge components having a common reference axis; and a power generating device. The first and the second hinge components are engaged with each other, so as to be rotatable about the reference axis relative to each other, and so that one of the first and the second hinge components supports the other. The power generating device includes a housing and an input shaft, and generates electric power by rotation of the input shaft. The housing of the power generating device is fixed to the first hinge component, so that the input shaft of the power generating device is positioned on the reference axis. The input shaft of the power generating device is restrained to the second hinge component with respect to the direction of rotation about the reference axis, so that the input shaft of the power generating device rotates by as much as rotation of the second hinge component when the second hinge component rotates about the reference axis.

The friction element is arranged between the first and second bush elements. The hollow-pin element is connected at one end to the first bush element for conjoint rotation and is pivotably received in the second bush element at the other end, or the hollow-pin element is formed as a free-running pin that is pivotably received in the first bush element at one end and in the second bush element at the other end.

FURNITURE FITTINGS FOR THE MOVABLE MOUNTING OF A FURNITURE PART

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.
