Cabinets, methods for making cabinets, and aircraft including cabinets are provided. In one example, a cabinet includes a cabinet body that at least partially surrounds a cabinet space and that defines a cabinet opening that allows access to the cabinet space. A cabinet door at least partially covers the cabinet opening when in a closed position and extends upward from a lower edge portion to an upper edge portion. The cabinet door has an outer exposed surface facing generally in a first direction away from the cabinet space when in the closed position. The cabinet door is operatively coupled to the cabinet body for opening from the closed position to an open position including the lower edge portion moving generally upward and the upper edge portion moving generally upward and towards the first direction to expose the cabinet opening.

A furniture item (MC) is described comprising a body defining a compartment (20) with a front opening, a leaf (32) which is slidable and oscillating to close the front opening, and an L-shaped guide (50) comprising two linear segments (52, 54) connected together. The leaf can be moved by a command member (60) translatable parallelly to—and along—said outer side.

The motorized drive according to the application is particularly suitable for auxiliary or emergency drives and is configured to open or close a wing of a barrier such as a door. The motorized drive includes a motor and a reduction unit through which the motor can open or close the wing, an auxiliary motor including a helical spring which is able to absorb mechanical energy during the opening of the wing and release it during the closing of the same, a reduction unit connecting the auxiliary motor to the wing. A first and a second toothed profile realize a gear with a variable transmission ratio. The first and/or the second toothed profile form at least one toothing having a pitch profile which is substantially non-circular or not formed by a simple arc of a circle or a straight line.

A shock-absorbing braking device (10) for sliding doors (88) or for wardrobe panels is combined with a carriage (12) provided with rollers (14) sliding in an extruded profile (16), with a bottom base provided with a longitudinally extending slot (18) from which a pin or bolt (20) protrudes suitable to connect said carriage (12) to the sliding door or panel (88). The device comprises a containment shell (24), formed of opposite and complementary elements (28), in which at least one helical spring (26) and a shock-absorbing piston (30) acting in conjunction with a shaped cam (56) are placed, provided with an appendage forming a traction hook (62) suitable to abut with an activator (78) extending in said extruded profile (16). The shaped cam (56) is provided on opposite sides with a pin (64), destined to slide along a mixtilinear cavity (66, 66′) extending longitudinally along the inner face of each of the elements (28) forming the containment shell (24).

A firearm safe box comprising a housing having sides defining an interior volume and an opening. A container is slidably received in the opening of the housing, the container being movable between a closed position preventing access to the container and an open position allowing access to the container. In this embodiment, the container carries a configured insert adapted to cradle a firearm. A lock mechanism is operative to retain the container in the closed position. An opening mechanism is operative to automatically move the container to the open position when the lock mechanism is released.

A protective shroud includes a shroud body, a protective door movably installed on the shroud body, and a buffer mechanism connected between the shroud body and the protective door. The buffer mechanism slows down a moving speed of the protective door. The protective door is moved between an open position and a closed position in a vertical direction to open or close the shroud body.

A guide system includes a first guide rail for guiding a door wing, a second guide rail for guiding the door wing. A carrier can move the door wing relative to the second guide rail in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first guide rail. A drive device has a force storage member, and the carrier can be at least partially ejected by the drive device from the retracted position of the carrier by a force of the force storage member. The drive device includes a coupling portion and a control curve, and the coupling portion and the control curve are decoupled over a large part of the movement of the carrier between the extended position and the retracted position. The carrier can be retracted into the retracted position starting from a position immediately before the retracted position when the coupling portion couples with the control curve.
