The coupling mechanism has an actuator for performing the damping stroke of the damper, and the actuator acts on the damper when the actuating arm is moved into the first end position and when the actuating arm is moved into the second end position.

An item of furniture including a furniture carcass, a door wing movably-supported relative to the furniture carcass, and a furniture hinge for movably supporting the door wing, the furniture hinge being hingedly connected to the door wing. A receiving compartment is arranged in or on the furniture carcass for at least partially receiving the door wing, and the receiving compartment is defined by a sidewall of the furniture carcass. At least one cover is configured to be moved at least between a first operating position, in which the cover at least partially covers the receiving compartment, and a second position, in which the cover unblocks the receiving compartment. The furniture hinge includes a control member for moving the cover between the two operating positions upon an at least partial movement of the a door wing within the receiving compartment.

A stabilization roller bracket is positioned adjacent to a hinge and supplements a hinge in coupling a roller to a movable barrier. The stabilization roller bracket includes a base configured to be coupled to an inner surface of the movable barrier. The base includes a main body and a frangible portion. The stabilization roller bracket also includes at least one wall extending from the base and including a plurality of stem-receiving holes, each of the plurality of stem-receiving holes spaced a different distance from the base and configured to receive a portion of a stem of a roller for the movable barrier and space the roller from the inner surface of the movable barrier.

A food shield for use in a restaurant or food service institution includes a pair of partially overlapping upper and lower transparent panels, first and second locking assemblies connected to and supporting one lateral side of each of the upper and lower transparent panels, and first and second non-locking assemblies connected to and supporting the opposite lateral side of each of the upper and lower transparent panels. Each of the first locking and non-locking assemblies, which supports the upper transparent panel, is mountable to a respective vertical support post. The food shield is transformable into three different settings. In a cafeteria setting, the upper and lower transparent panels overlap each other to provide a full length barrier in front of food product being displayed. In a self-serve setting, the lower transparent panel is pivoted inwardly such that it resides behind the upper transparent panel. In a self-serve and display setting, the lower transparent panel is adjusted to a horizontal position to create a shelf situated behind the upper transparent panel.

An article of furniture, comprising a furniture carcass, includes a two-part furniture flap having a first flap part, and a second flap part, and at least one support device for the two-part furniture flap. The at least one support device is connected to the furniture carcass and the two-part furniture flap in an articulated manner. The at least one support device has a transmission portion, which is on an inside of the first flap part and defines a setting angle of the second flap part to the first flap part according to a setting angle of the first flap part.
