Provided is a retracting device comprising a main arm and a sub-arm wherein appearance can be improved. An arm (5) has a main arm (7) and a sub-arm (8) such that an acceptance portion (25) for accepting a receiving part (reception part) (6) is formed between these. The main arm (7) and the sub-arm (8) are configured so that the main arm (7) and the sub-arm (8) rotate by way of: the acceptance portion (25) being closed in a hold position; the acceptance portion (25) opening by the receiving part (reception part) (6) coming into contact with the main arm (7) in the hold position; and an end portion (21) of the main arm (7) and an end portion (24) of the sub-arm (8) coming into contact while the acceptance portion (25) is opened.

A closure member (e.g., door) stop includes a base having a top portion opposite a bottom portion, the bottom portion being configured for affixing to an installation point associated with the closure member, a flexure extending away from the top portion, a cushion comprising an angled face and an impact face, the impact face being configured to interface with the closure member during closing of the closure member, and the angled face being configured to interface with the closure member during opening of the closure member. The flexure provides an operable, bendable connection between the cushion and the base. Also, a lever is operably connected to the cushion and the flexure and configured to move the cushion away from a swing path of the closure member. The cushion extends into a swing path of the closure member when the closure member stop is at rest in the installed position.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-link hinge device in which any one of a plurality of links connecting a plurality of levers to each other may serve as a link and at the same time serve as a cover, thereby preventing a finger or the like from being caught in a space between the plurality of levers in advance when the door is opened or closed.

A damping device includes a housing, a piston and a controller. The housing defines a chamber filled with a damping medium. The piston is movable in the chamber and includes a passage for allowing the damping medium to pass through. The controller includes a control member and a resilient member. The control member is capable of being moved toward the passage of the piston or closing a portion or all portions of the passage of the piston in response to a speed of the piston.

A damping device includes a housing and a piston. The housing has an inner wall, and a chamber is defined by the inner wall. The chamber has a damping medium filled therewith. The piston is movable in the chamber, wherein the inner wall has a plurality of inner diameters.

The invention relates to a braking device (20) for a moving door leaf (5) comprising a generator (22), the at least one generator shaft (24) of which can be rotated via a movement of the door leaf (5), and at the connection terminals of which a movement-dependent first output voltage occurs, which is applied to an evaluation and control electronics system (10) having an evaluation and control unit and a braking circuit. The braking circuit generates an effective braking force for damping the movement of the door leaf (5), wherein the braking circuit (18) has at least one switch element, via which the connection terminals can be short-circuited, as well as a door closer (1) having a braking device of this type. According to the invention, a second output voltage of the generator (22) is applied to a charging circuit (12), which stores electrical energy for supplying the evaluation and control electronics system (10) with power.

A dampening translator for a sliding building closure comprising a housing having a longitudinal axis and a traveler track with a longitudinally extending portion having a first end. A traveler is carried by the housing and includes a body carrying track followers carried in the traveler track of the housing, and carrying longitudinally spaced walls extending away from the body and establishing a catch space therebetween. A retractor is carried by the housing and has a housing portion coupled to the housing and a traveler portion coupled to the traveler to bias the traveler in a direction toward the first end of the traveler track. A dampener is carried by the housing to decelerate the traveler.

A soft closing damper fitting includes a soft closing damper fastenable to an internal door leaf of a multi-leaf sliding door and can be used for right-hand or left-hand closing. A Z-shaped profiled sheet has a central leg and with two outer legs angled in each case by 90 in opposing directions. For fastening the soft closing damper for right-hand closing the central leg comprises first fastening holes and a first marking for its fastening position on the internal door leaf. For fastening the soft closing damper for left-hand closing the central leg comprises second fastening holes and a second marking for its fastening position on the internal door leaf. The first fastening holes are spaced apart from the second fastening holes and the first marking is spaced apart from the second marking in each case by the same distance A in the longitudinal direction of the profile.

A damped closure mechanism is provided for controlling movement of a first member relative to a second member, for example the door (12) of an oven (11). The mechanism comprises a housing (14) having a main spring which is engagable with the oven door (12) for urging it towards its closed position and a damper (25) for providing damped resistance to this closing movement. The mechanism further comprises a second spring (29) which is also engagable with the oven door (12) for urging it towards its closed position. The second spring (29) is arranged to act in parallel with the main spring (24), and serves to hold the door (12) shut with spring force.
