A brake device for a drivable part, in particular for use for a vehicle flap, in particular in an automobile, includes a drivable load device (11) which can be radially brought into contact with a disc (90) of the drivable part, with a first holding position and a second release position. At least one brake element rests against the periphery (92) of the disc (90) in a frictional manner in the holding position and secures the disc (90) from rotating using a specifiable force. In the release position, the at least one brake element is arranged at a distance from the periphery of the disc (90) and allows a free run of the disc (90), and the load device (11) can be adjusted between the holding position and the release position, preferably by a motor (12). A brake device or a rotating drive with which a drivable part of the drive is secured against a displacement on the basis of the mass of the component to be displaced even when the motor is not being provided with power or is deactivated is achieved in that the first holding position and the second release position are each designed as a metastable holding position.

The hold-open arrester arrangement has a hold-open arrester arrangement having a hold-open function to hold a door open. The arrangement has also an electric release arrangement. The release arrangement is arranged to release the hold-open function in a fire alarm situation. The hold-open arrester arrangement comprises a sliding block and an arrester unit. The sliding block is connectable with a slide rail in a sliding manner and also pivotable connectable to an arm of a door closer. The arrester unit is connectable to the slide rail and has a body, said electric release arrangement, and said hold-open function with the sliding block.

A system comprising an opening comprising a door or a window, wherein the opening comprises a door or a window frame is provided. The opening comprises at least one movable door panel or at least one movable window panel based on if the opening is the door or the window respectively. The system also comprises a deadbolt inbuilt in the door panel or the window panel, a guiding device and a mechanical moving mechanism, wherein the guiding device and the mechanical moving mechanism are both housed in a guiding device housing, a guide block, and an attachment mechanism.

A hinged mobile computing device includes a first housing part with a first display and a second housing part with a second display. The first and second housing parts are coupled by a hinge assembly that includes a spring-loaded opening mechanism configured to bias with a biasing torque the first housing part and second housing part to rotate away from each other when the first and second displays are in a closed face-to-face orientation. An electro-magnetic closure system is configured to retain the first and second displays in the closed face-to-face orientation against the biasing torque of the spring-loaded opening mechanism, and release of the electro-magnetic closure system permits the first housing part to rotationally separate from the second housing part to a predetermined angular orientation due to the biasing force of the spring-loaded opening mechanism.

There is disclosed in one example, an encasement for a mobile computer, including: an external casing in a clamshell form factor, the external casing including a base, a secondary display chassis hingedly connected to the base at a secondary hinge, and a primary display chassis hingedly connected to the secondary display chassis at a primary hinge disposed at a removed edge of the secondary display chassis from the secondary hinge, the primary display chassis to substantially overlay the secondary display chassis and the base when the primary hinge is in a closed position; and pivot means disposed to substantially bias the secondary hinge against movement from a selected position in at least one direction in the absence of an electrical input.

The present invention relates to a locking mechanism (1) with an additional damping mechanism (30) which provides opening/closing of the sliding door, provided in vehicles, by exerting less force and which provides protection of fixation resistance in open position even if it is positioned in the inclined position (II).

A guide system includes a guide rail for guiding a door wing, a running carriage to be connected to the door wing and displaceably supported along the guide rail, and a carrier on which the running carriage can be arranged. The carrier is movably supported in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The carrier can be moved into a transfer position in which the carrier adjoins the guide rail in the longitudinal direction. A locking device can releasably lock the carrier in the transfer position to restrain a movement in the transverse direction. The locking device includes a movably-supported locking element for releasably locking between the guide rail and the carrier, and a control contour curved so that the running carriage can be moved over a region in the transverse direction. The movably-supported locking element includes a supporting element displaceable along the control contour.

A car door opening mechanism includes a connection structure that is selectively mounted to a car-door opening/closing side, a car-door bottom side, a car-body opening/closing side, or a car-body bottom side and a first coupling member correspondingly mounted to a car-body opening/closing side, a car-body bottom side, a car-door opening/closing side, or a car-door bottom side. When a car door is at a closed position relative to a car body, the first coupling member and the connection structure are coupled to each other and in opening the car door, the car door is constrained at a non-fully opened position due to the connection structure and the first coupling member being coupled to each other. When the first coupling member and the connection structure are detached from each other, the car door is allowed to open from the non-fully opened position to a fully opened position.

A spring hinge base structure is provided, including: a body, having a first tube and a first plate portion; locking units each having a cover and an engagement member, each engagement member being engaged within the cover, two of the locking units being connected to opposite ends of the first tube; an elastic element, engaged with the two locking units; a second plate portion; and a shaft, disposed through the respective cover and respective engagement member, wherein the second plate portion is integral and rotatably movable together with one of the locking units by a bump component and abutted between the second plate portion and one of the locking unit.

An exemplary armature assembly is configured for use with a door closer comprising a pinion, and generally includes a first arm configured for rotational coupling with the pinion, a second arm pivotably coupled to the first arm at a pivot joint, and a hold-open mechanism. The hold-open mechanism generally includes a clutch having a decoupling and a coupling state, and an electromechanical driver operable to transition the clutch between the coupling state and the decoupling state. With the clutch in the decoupling state, a first torque is operable to cause relative pivoting of the arms. With the clutch in the coupling state, the first torque is inoperable to cause relative pivoting of the arms, and a second torque greater than the first torque is operable to cause relative pivoting of the arms.
