A travel assistance device includes a first rail inclined downward from a first end portion side to a second end portion side in longitudinal direction, a second rail provided parallel to the first rail and inclined, in opposite direction to the first rail, downward from the second end portion to the first end portion in the longitudinal direction, a holding member having a runner portion slidably guided by the rails and holding a travelling body, and a switch mechanism configured to be switched between a state in which the runner portion is guided by the first rail and is assisted to travel downward on the first rail by a load applied to the runner portion and a state in which the runner portion is guided by the second rail and is assisted to travel downward on the second rail by the load applied to the runner portion.

The present invention prevents or suppresses a grommet from detaching from a ball socket. The grommet that has a cover for covering a harness led and extended outside a cap of the ball socket is configured by including a boot part that covers the harness inside the cap and that is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape opened to an electric motor side, a connection cylindrical part that is disposed inside a harness insertion hole that connects the boot part and the cover and in which the harness is inserted, and a falling-out prevention part that is formed in the boot part that engages the cap and that restricts the movement of the boot part toward the harness insertion hole side.

The invention provides a door construction comprising a door panel and at least one pivot hinge for rotatably suspending the door panel in a door opening. The at least one pivot hinge is integrated into the door panel at the top side or at the bottom side of the door panel. The door panel comprises a guide profile, extending along substantially the entire side of the door panel having the at least one pivot hinge. The at least one pivot hinge is slidably arranged in the guide profile, and the at least one pivot hinge is provided with attachment means for releasably attaching the at least one pivot hinge to the guide profile.

A refrigerated cabinet includes a first plurality of doors arranged along a first long side and configured and disposed to control access to a product space defined within the interior of the cabinet. The cabinet includes a second plurality of doors arranged along a second long side that is disposed opposite the first long side. The second plurality of doors is configured and disposed to control access to the product space. The refrigerated cabinet includes a transverse side connecting the first long side to the second long side. The transverse side includes a third plurality of doors configured and disposed to control access to the product space.

An environmentally controlled sleep pod comprises: a) a main frame having an elevated base for supporting a mattress, a mechanical system storage area, and having walls extending upwardly, with a mattress sidewall portion and rail portion; b) a mattress on the base; c) a mechanical system located in its storage area, with heating and air-conditioning and power source connector; d) feed conduit(s) connected to the mechanical system and extending up the main frame walls to the rail portion for feeding air to above the mattress; e) return conduit(s) connected to the above-mattress rail portion of the main frame walls extending down the main frame walls to the mechanical systems for returning air from above the mattress; f) a control device for heating and cooling of air at the mechanical system; and g) a moveable hood connected to the main frame and having an open position and a closed position.

A latch module for controlling an opening and a closing of a door of an appliance includes a latch, a spring that applies an elastic force to the latch, a motor; and a cam that contacts a contact surface of the latch and is coupled to the motor to drive the cam to pivot the latch. The cam includes a first radius, a second radius, and a third radius in a circumferential direction at an outer circumference of the cam. The latch is positioned at a first basic position when the first radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch, positioned at a second basic position when the second radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch, and positioned at a third basic position when the third radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch.

A hinge device 1 comprises a damper hinge 2 and a gravity hinge 3. The gravity hinge 3 comprises a rotational force imparting mechanism 70 for converting gravity of the door 6 to rotational force to a closing direction when the door 6 rotates to the closing direction. The damper hinge 2 comprises a damper mechanism 30 for reducing the rotational force to the closing direction of the door 6. The damper mechanism 30 includes a linear damper 31 disposed to the first hinge member 10 and a first cam member 32 and includes a second cam member 35 disposed to the second hinge member 20. The linear damper 31 is positioned far from the shaft member 40 in an orthogonal direction to a shaft line of the shaft member 40 and is positioned along the shaft member 40. When the door 6 rotates to the closing direction and goes down, the linear damper 31 is shortened along with a cam action of the first cam member 32 and the second cam member 35.

A latch module for controlling an opening and a closing of a door of an appliance includes a latch, a spring that applies an elastic force to the latch, a motor; and a cam that contacts a contact surface of the latch and is coupled to the motor to drive the cam to pivot the latch. The cam includes a first radius, a second radius, and a third radius in a circumferential direction at an outer circumference of the cam. The latch is positioned at a first basic position when the first radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch, positioned at a second basic position when the second radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch, and positioned at a third basic position when the third radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch.

A tilting door assembly having a door frame and a door leaf arranged to move from a vertical closed position to a horizontal open position about a horizontal tilt axis. A plurality of fixed guide tracks guide movement of the door leaf between the open and closed positions. A counterweight is provided, with a sheave and cable system arranged between the door leaf and the counterweight and a winch coupled to the counterweight via a winch cable. The winch is operable to open and close the door such that raising the counterweight moves the door towards the closed position, and lowering the counterweight moves the door towards the open position. The counterweight has a mass that is greater than a mass of the door leaf.
