The aim of the invention is to provide a rubber profiled safety strip or an elastic profiled safety strip which can carry out a signaling function. To this end a profiled safety strip (10) is provided for a door (15) of a transport means, wherein the profiled safety strip (10) contains an opaque elastic main part (11) in which at least one receiving region (17, 18) is formed, and in the at least one receiving region (17, 18) an insert strip (12, 31) is disposed, which contains at least one light source (13, 32) and is made of an elastic material that is at least partly transparent.

A sliding door assembly (50) for an inductively coupled plasma torch box (40) reduces the risk of heat related injuries and facilitates the handling of the torch box. The door assembly (50) comprises a door and a guiding mechanism (6) for allowing movement of the door in a first direction along an opening (45) of the torch box (40) so as to be able to open and close the torch box, and allowing movement of the door in a second direction, substantially perpendicular to the first direction, so as to move the door or at least a part thereof towards the opening when closing the torch box. The door may comprise an inner door panel interconnected with an outer door panel, so that only the inner door panel moves in the second direction, towards the opening (45) of the torch box (40) to tightly close it, while the outer door panel can maintain a safe temperature during operation.

A sliding window assembly includes a frame with a track, and a sliding window portion disposed in the frame and displaceable in the track between a closed position and an open position. The sliding window portion includes a handle pivotable between a lock position and a slide position, and a driving pin coupled with the handle and engaging the track. The driving pin defines a pivot axis for the handle. A guide pin spaced from the driving pin is selectively engageable with the track when the handle is pivoted from the lock position to the slide position. With the handle in the slide position, the sliding window portion is displaceable from its closed position to an open position.

A hinge joint is disclosed. In an embodiment, the hinge joint includes a first hinge component, a second hinge component and a flexible member linking the first and second hinge components to support relative movement of the first hinge component and the second hinge component between an abutting relationship and a non-abutting relationship. A foldable shelter including a hinge joint according to an embodiment of the disclosure is also disclosed.

An apparatus (1) for opening and closing a lid (lid body) of a vehicle includes a linearly-movable shaft (10) supported by a housing (90) such that the shaft is linearly movable along, and nonrotatable around, an axial center (X10); and a rotary shaft (30) supported by the shaft such that it is linearly movable along and rotatable around the axial center. A stopper mechanism (50, 60) selectively blocks or permits the shaft to move from moving from a second position to a first position. The shaft has a main body (11) disposed within the rotary shaft (30) and an elastic body (80) provided on a terminal end portion of the main body (11). The elastic body includes a cushioning part (81) on a tip, a sealing part (83) around the main body, and a connecting part (85) connecting the cushioning part to the sealing part within the main body.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator, including a cabinet, a door for opening and closing the cabinet, and a hinge assembly for connecting the cabinet and the door, wherein the cabinet includes a rear wall and an opening provided opposite to each other, a direction from the rear wall towards the opening serves as a first direction, and when the door is in an opening process, the hinge assembly drives the door to move away from the cabinet in the first direction. In the present invention, mutual separation of the door and the cabinet may be assisted under the action of the hinge assembly, thereby improving door opening smoothness.

A part of a touch sensor, which couples to a curve of a flange, includes a raising member. The curve of the flange is on a belt line of a sliding door. The raising member rises outwardly toward an exterior of the automobile from an inner-cabin side wall of the touch sensor. A space is formed between the raising member and an outer-cabin side wall for the flange to be inserted into the space. The raising member includes a plurality of blocks. The plurality of blocks exist along an upper and lower direction of the automobile body.

A linear stem (3) guides a sliding door (11), which is dragged by a magnetic drive unit between an operating position (W), in which it covers and closes an access mouth (20) to an internal compartment (21) of a sterilizer (1), and an inoperative or opening (N), in which the door (11) moves to a position next to the access mouth (20), thus making it accessible from the outside.

The sliding door (11) is operated by movement members (5), comprising a linear module (50), adapted to house a transmission belt (52) stretched between two return wheels (53), one of which is driven by an electric gearmotor (54); a branch of the transmission belt (52) carries a slider (55) with a permanent magnet (56), facing a magnetic plate (6) fixed to the sliding door (11) which is dragged by the magnetic field generated by the cursor (55) in motion.

A guiding assembly (300) for guiding a sliding door leaf (101) movable along a sliding door rail (110) is provided. The guiding assembly (300) comprises a bogie (130) having a first end (132) being provided with a first steering member (136) and a second steering member (138), and an opposite end (134) comprising at least one guiding element (122) being engaged with the sliding door rail (110), wherein the bogie (130) is connected to the sliding door leaf (101). The guiding assembly (300) further comprises a guiding rail (140) having first end section (140a) and a second end section (140b). The bogie (130) is configured to pivot relative the sliding door leaf (101) as the second steering member (138) travels along the guiding rail (140).
