An assembly for controlling the position of air inlets of an enclosure including an actuation rod which moves laterally and is positioned above and parallel with the air inlets, one or more actuation cables, where the first end of each actuation cable is attached to the actuation rod and the second end of each cable is attached to one or more of the air inlets and lateral movement of the actuation rod causes vertical movement of the actuation cables and attached air inlets.

A hinge for assembling a door on a piece of furniture comprises a first hinge element fastenable to a fixed part of the piece of furniture, a second hinge element fixable to a door of the piece of furniture and swingably connected to the first hinge element, and at least one spring element for generating a force in the opening direction for the door at least near the closing position of the door; the at least one spring opening element is housed in an opening device disposed in or on one of the first and second hinge elements, wherein the opening device is conformed and arranged for exerting said opening force directly or indirectly on the other of said first and second hinge elements.

A collection tank for a mobile vacuum excavator includes a front with a closed end, a rear with an open end, a door configured to be closed over the open end, and a linkage assembly having a first end attached to the door and a second end attached to the body. A first pivotal movement drives the first end and second end away from each other, and a second pivotal movement moves the first end and the second end toward each other. An actuator is attached to the first arm and to the second arm so that actuation of the actuator in a first direction drives the first pivotal movement and actuation of the actuator in a second direction drives the second arm the second pivotal movement.

A damping assembly for a flap fitting includes first and second spring holders, between which at least two coil springs are arranged. In each of the at least two coils springs, a linear damper having a damper housing and having a piston rod slidable relative to the damper housing is arranged between the first and second spring holders.

A flap fitting for furniture having a housing secured to a body. A support lever is rotatably mounted on the housing about a first axis of rotation. The support lever is connected to a flap about a second axis of rotation using a connection. A control lever is connected via the connection to the flap about a third axis of rotation. The control lever is articulatedly connected about a fourth axis of rotation to a control element and to the housing. The flap is pivotable via a gripping element. A center of rotation of the flap when in a closed position is located below the gripping element and when in a maximum open position is located above the gripping element. As a result the flap can be smoothly opened and closed by a user.

A closing device for opening and closing an opening in a vehicle is disclosed. The closing device comprises a closing system, having a closing body (SK) that is fitted on the vehicle (FZ) in a movable manner and is configured to open and close the opening (O), a drive device (AV) that is operatively connected to the closing body (SK) and is configured to move the closing body (SK), and a transmission system (US) that is arranged between the closing body (SK) and the drive device (AV) and is configured to transmit a drive force generated by the drive device (AV) to the closing body (SK). The closing system (SLS) has a closing system spring rate (FRSLS) that characterizes an overall elasticity of the closing body (SLS), of the drive device (AV) and of the transmission system (US). The closing device (SV) also comprises a force transmission spring unit (KUFE) that is configured to pick up the drive force transmitted from the drive device (AV) to the closing body (SK). The force transmission spring unit (KUFE) has a force transmission spring rate (FRKUFE) that is lower than the closing system spring rate (FRSLS).

A locking device includes a cam that is formed in a rotating unit configured to rotate about a rotational center axis that is parallel to an opening width direction of a door, and the cam permits or prohibits movement of a door leaf in the opening width direction in accordance with a rotational position of the rotating unit.

A door driving device includes: a base member extending in an opening width direction of a door; a rotary moving unit pressed against the base member and configured to move along the base member while rotating; a rotary shaft extending in the opening width direction of the door and configured to rotate by a power of a motor; and a transmission member. The transmission member can move relatively to the rotary shaft in the axial direction thereof. The transmission member also rotates along with the rotary shaft and contacts with the rotary moving unit, thereby to transmit the rotational power of the rotary shaft to the rotary moving unit.

A drive carriage for a door, in particular garage door, comprising a body which is linearly shiftably mountable in a rail of a door drive, and a door driver pivotally mounted on the body, wherein a carriage driver which is shiftable relative to the body and is connectable with a power transmission means of the door drive, a latch mounted in the body via a flexible element and is pushable into a recess of the carriage driver by the flexible element, and a latching slide which urges the latch against the flexible element into an unlocking position in which the latch is not pushed into the recess by the flexible element, and which in a drive position permits pushing of the latch into the recess of the carriage driver by the flexible element in order to take a locking position in which the carriage driver is coupled with the body.

An information handling system narrow width dual axes hinge rotationally couples portable information handling system housing portions to each other with minimal spacing between the housing portions. A gear assembly synchronizes motion about the dual axles at one end of the dual axles, the gear assembly having brackets to couple to each housing portion. Torque brackets couple to the opposite end of the dual axles, each torque bracket couple to a housing portion and resisting rotation of the housing portions by generating friction at the axle.
