A main support frame is formed from sections of a plastic extrusion and has opposite side portions with peripheral recesses receiving an inner sash unit and outer sash unit each having a frame formed from sections of a plastic extrusion and supporting an insulated glass unit. Hinges support the dual sash units for pivotal movement between open and closed positions, and gear connected telescopic link members connect the main frame to the sash frames for simultaneous movement. A lock system includes a handle on the inner sash unit for moving straps with studs on the sash frames through a connector mechanism mounted on the main frame for simultaneously locking and releasing both sash units and for releasing only the inner sash unit. A screen and/or mini-blind can be supported between the sash units, and the window system with dual sash units may be constructed in various forms.

A drive device has a spindle drive having a threaded spindle and a spindle nut arranged on the threaded spindle. The spindle drive is configured to drive a first component element and a second component element so as to be axially movable relative to one another. The spindle drive is reversibly rotatably drivable around an axis of rotation extending coaxial to the threaded spindle by a rotatably driven driveshaft arranged in a housing so as to be fixed with respect to rotation. A brake device prevents axially relative movement of the first component element and second component element relative to one another through axial application of force to the first component element and/or second component element.

An automotive hinge assembly adapted to facilitate motion of a closure panel relative to a fixed body structure comprises a door component constructed from two press formed angle brackets structurally connected via a pivot pin and adapted to be mounted to a vehicle closure panel, a body component constructed from two press formed angle brackets structurally connected via a simple formed feature and the pivot pin and adapted to be mounted to a vehicle body structure, such that the pivot pin structurally assembles the two hinge components, facilitates relative rotary motion between them and structurally connects the multiple press formed angle brackets so that the resulting assembly achieves a much higher material efficiency than the prior art with an associated significant cost reduction.

A furniture drive system includes a mechanical control unit having a pivotably mounted control arm for moving a movable furniture part, a spring device for applying force to the control arm, and a movably mounted control part having a transmission opening for transmitting a force from the spring device to the control arm. An electrical drive unit has an electric motor for moving the movable furniture part, and a driver to be driven by the electric motor for transmitting a torque of the electric motor to the mechanical control unit. The driver can be inserted into the transmission opening, and the electrical drive unit and the mechanical control unit are designed as separate assemblies and can be fastened to each other. A contact surface for the driver is arranged laterally adjacent to the transmission opening and the driver is preloaded toward the contact surface by a force store.

A goose neck hinge assembly for a motor vehicle includes a base portion extending from a panel attachment portion to a hinge portion. The base portion includes a rotation-resisting joint. The base portion includes a first structural element with first structural ribs. The first structural element is joined at the rotation-resisting joint to a second structural element. The second structural element includes second structural ribs. The first structural ribs and the second structural ribs are topology optimized providing bending resistance and structural reinforcement at predetermined locations. The rotation-resisting joint includes a recessed fastener. The first structural element extends from the hinge portion to the rotation-resisting joint and the second structural element extends from the rotation-resisting joint to the panel attachment portion.

An arrangement for guiding at least two furniture doors relative to a stationary furniture part includes: at least two guide rails; a first carriage mounted (possibly movably) on a first of the guide rails and which is connectable to a first of the at least two furniture doors; and a second carriage mounted (possibly movably) on the other of the guide rails and which is connectable to another of the at least two furniture doors. A connection device can releasably connect the guide rails at one end, the guide rails being arranged substantially in alignment with one another when in a connected state. An adjustment device can allow an adjustment of at least two ends of the guide rails relative to the stationary furniture part in a direction transverse to a longitudinal extent of the guide rails.

A hinged wall profile door assembly for a shower enclosure is disclosed. The assembly includes: a first and a second longitudinal wall profile having a body configured for mounting to a wall; a longitudinal hinge profile having a body configured to be received within an inner section of the first longitudinal wall profile; a profile door of variable size and shape; at least a first hinge assembly and a second hinge assembly secured to the longitudinal hinge profile adjacent to a top edge and a bottom edge thereof, the first and second hinge assemblies configured for mounting to the profile door adjacent to a top edge and a bottom edge thereof, the first and second hinge assemblies having a body and a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the body is configured to be curved and the second end of the body is configured to form a longitudinal channel for receiving the profile door therethrough; and a first handle configured to be secured to a front side of the profile door and a second handle configured to be secured to a rear side of the profile door such that the first and second handles are positioned directly opposite from each other.

The present disclosure provides a flexible bottom shell, where the flexible bottom shell includes a first half shell, a second half shell, and a bendable part connected the first half shell and the second half shell, where the bendable part includes a plurality of connection plates, the plurality of the connection plates are successively bonded and are successively hinged together. Hinge pieces include a fixed plate, a fixed axle, and a pin axle. The fixed axle and the pin axle are perpendicular to a surface of the fixed plate. The fixed axle is connected to the fixed plate, and the pin axle is connected to the adjacent connection plates.

The present invention is generally a movable barrier assembly that includes a screen garage door that may be remotely operated to open and close an entry to a garage, thereby facilitating ventilation, and preventing debris such as leaves, insects, etc. from entering the garage. In an exemplary embodiment, a screen assembly includes a first track running substantially parallel to a second track on which a garage door travels. A movable barrier operator that actuates the garage door and screen door may include a first motor to operate the screen door, and a second motor to operate the garage door. In exemplary embodiments, a single control unit is configured to operate both motors and thus operate each movable barrier.
