The present invention relates to a door hinge system (10) for a pivoting door (30) of a domestic appliance (20), in particular for a pivoting oven door (30) of a cooking oven (20). The door hinge system (10) comprises a stationary hinge part (12) in arranged or arrangeable at or in a chassis of the domestic appliance (20). The door hinge system (10) comprises a pivoting hinge part (14) connected or connectable to the door (30). The door hinge system (10) comprises a driving device (16, 18, 22, 24) for driving the pivoting hinge part (14). The driving device includes at least one motor (16) coupleable to and decoupleable from the pivoting hinge part (14). The driving device (16, 18, 22, 24) is automatically controllable. The pivoting hinge part (14) is manually pivotable, if the motor (16) is decoupled from the pivoting hinge part (14).

The present invention relates to household articles, in particular to a flip-up support device and a furniture piece with the flip-up support device. The flip-up support device comprises a base (1), an upper connecting assembly and a lower connecting assembly hinged to the base, a flip-up support member hinged to the upper connecting assembly and the lower connecting assembly, a fixing mechanism rotatably connected to the flip-up support member and the upper connecting assembly, a cushion member connected to the lower connecting assembly, and an adjusting assembly for adjusting a cushion force of the cushion member. The cushion force of the cushion member acts on the fixing mechanism via the lower connecting assembly and the flip-up support member. The structure of the flip-up support device is simple and compact, the operation is stable, and the noise is low. The cushion force of the cushion member can be adjusted by the adjusting assembly according to the actual required cushion force, thereby meeting the user's needs and being convenient for the user to use.

My invention is a unique component installed onto the ends of torsion springs that adds four additional winding holes and permits the winding and unwinding (tensioning and de-tensioning) of torsion springs in situations where adjacent obstructions would otherwise disallow the normal means of this process while using normal trade tools. Under these limited access conditions, torsion springs that are fitted with the Double Headed Spring Winding Cone would be most desirable when new doors are installed and when old springs on existing doors need replacing.

A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier.

A sliding golf cart windshield assembly includes a first elongated rail having a top end and a bottom end, and a second elongated rail spaced apart from the first elongated rail and having a top end and a bottom end. An upper windshield pane has a first longitudinal edge and an opposing second longitudinal edge, where the upper windshield pane is positioned between the first and second elongated rails. In addition, the assembly includes a first upper plate secured to the first longitudinal edge of the upper windshield pane and being slidable within the first elongated rail, a first lower hub coupled to the bottom end of the first elongated rail, and a first belt having a first end first end fixed to the top end of the first elongated rail and passes around the first lower hub to the second end that is fixed to the first upper plate.

This application provides a vertical sliding window, including horizontal frame side edges, vertical frame side edges, and an opening sash, wherein the opening sash slides up and down along a guide rail on the vertical frame side edge. In addition, the vertical sliding window further includes a balance weight device and a balance weight traction cable. The balance weight device includes an enclosure, a rotating shaft partially disposed within the enclosure, a spiral spring whose two ends are respectively fixedly connected to an inner wall of the enclosure and the rotating shaft, and a cone pulley fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, wherein a tapered surface of the cone pulley is provided with a spiral groove. A lower end of the balance weight traction cable is fixedly connected to the opening sash, and an upper end thereof is fixedly connected to the cone pulley. When the opening sash moves from bottom to top, an elastic deformational force generated by the spiral spring enables the balance weight traction cable to be gradually wound into the spiral groove, and the elastic deformational force of the spiral spring is gradually reduced. Due to a mutual conversion between elastic potential energy of the spiral spring and gravitational potential energy of the opening sash, in the vertical sliding window provided in this application, an external acting force for dragging the opening sash to move up and down as well as energy consumption may be reduced.

A carrier for a window sash has a balance connecting portion configured to be connected to a window balance. A vertical rail system is configured to slidingly engage a bracket of the window sash.

An apparatus for use with a winding cone for a door assembly includes a housing having a first piece and a second piece, a fastener for connecting the first piece to the second pieces, a dowel extending from the housing to engage at least one hole in the winding cone, and holes on an outer surface to accept a winding bar.

A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier.

A sash guide for a hung window includes a plate having a first end and an opposite second end defining a longitudinal axis. The first end configured to mount to a side rail of a window sash and the second end having an outside surface spaced from the side rail in a transverse direction. The transverse direction being substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. A cam block is disposed proximate the second end and between the plate and the side rail. An adjustment fastener is coupled to the cam block and configured to slide the cam block along the longitudinal axis such that the outside surface of the second end is adjustable along the transverse direction and in relation to the side rail.
