A multi-joint link hinge may include hinge bracket provided with a base in which a plurality of screw coupling holes are defined, a plurality of side walls which protrude from the base and are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, a plurality of link modules which are vertically arranged between the side portions and axially coupled to the hinge bracket by a rotation shaft, and a door bracket which is axially coupled to each of the plurality of link modules.

A sensing edge is made in segments that can be used to determine at which point along the edge an obstruction occurred. Data collected can be used to determine a point in a process that the fault occurred by addressing each segment individually or as a whole. A programmable controller can be operatively coupled to the sensing edge, and can include logic to control the door and/or other equipment using data collected from the sensing edge.

A shock-absorbing braking device (10) for sliding doors (88) or for wardrobe panels is combined with a carriage (12) provided with rollers (14) sliding in an extruded profile (16), with a bottom base provided with a longitudinally extending slot (18) from which a pin or bolt (20) protrudes suitable to connect said carriage (12) to the sliding door or panel (88). The device comprises a containment shell (24), formed of opposite and complementary elements (28), in which at least one helical spring (26) and a shock-absorbing piston (30) acting in conjunction with a shaped cam (56) are placed, provided with an appendage forming a traction hook (62) suitable to abut with an activator (78) extending in said extruded profile (16). The shaped cam (56) is provided on opposite sides with a pin (64), destined to slide along a mixtilinear cavity (66, 66) extending longitudinally along the inner face of each of the elements (28) forming the containment shell (24).

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, a tailgate, a tailgate actuator, and a tailgate locking assembly. The body supports the chassis and defines a receptacle configured to store refuse therein. The tailgate is positioned at an end of the receptacle and is rotatably coupled to the body. The tailgate actuator coupled to the tailgate and is configured to move the tailgate relative to the body between an open position and a closed position. The tailgate locking assembly is coupled to the body and the tailgate actuator and is configured to couple the tailgate to the body in response to the movement of the tailgate actuator.

Door operator systems are described herein that include the use of an adaptor. It should be understood that the adaptor may be utilized in order to operatively couple separate door operator assemblies together in a double door operator system. The adaptor may include control components (e.g., switches, buttons, toggles, levers, or the like) that are used to turn the door operator system on and off. While the adaptor may be used to operatively couple two separate door operator assemblies together to form a double door operator system, the adaptor may also be used within a single door operator system. Furthermore, with respect to double door operator systems, the system may also utilize a back plate assembly comprising two or more separate back plates (e.g., two or more back plate portions).

A vehicle door device includes: first and second link arms; a door-side engagement portion that is provided at a close-side end portion of the door that opens and closes a door opening of the vehicle; and a vehicle body-side engagement portion that is provided at a close-side end portion of the door opening that the close-side end portion of the door comes into contact with and separates from, in which one side of the door-side engagement portion and the vehicle body-side engagement portion includes an axial engagement portion extending in a vertical direction of the vehicle, the other side of the door-side engagement portion and the vehicle body-side engagement portion includes a guide groove having a pair of side wall portions, and the axial engagement portion is disposed inside the guide groove at an opening-and-closing operation position in the vicinity of a fully closed position of the door.

A rail for guiding a carriage of a furniture door, in which the rail has at least one mounting part. The at least one mounting part can be fastened to a furniture part, which is formed by a side wall of a piece of furniture, and can be releasably connected to a guide part. The guide part has at least one guide for the carriage.

A user interface unit for an automatic door drive comprises a display unit for outputting output information and a control element arrangement for capturing input information. The user interface unit, together with the door drive, is mountable in a first spatial position and in a second spatial position on a door that is drivable by the door drive. The control element arrangement comprises a first control element and a second control element, wherein the first control element is arranged in the first spatial position of the user interface unit on the same spatial side of the control element arrangement as the second control element in the second spatial position. The display unit is designed to display the displayed output information in the same spatial orientation in both the first spatial position and the second spatial position of the user interface unit. In addition, the user interface unit is designed to capture the same input information in the first spatial position with the first control element as with the second control element in the second spatial position.

A door operator having an automatic roller closes and opens a door attached to a doorjamb by a door hinge. The roller is actuated by a motor and housed within a protective roller casing affixed to the bottom of a door. The door operator may be integrated with a smart home, thereby allowing a user to close and open a door by voice command. The door operator may be retrofitted to existing doors. A door may also be modified such that only a magnet holds the door closed and a closed position such that the smart home door closing apparatus may be used to open a door. The roller may translate between an extended position engaging the floor below a door and a retracted position above the floor, either inside or adjacent to the door itself.

A split hinge made of a first hinge portion having a first cover that is operatively coupled to two first leaves, and a second hinge portion having a second cover that is operatively coupled to two second leaves. The first leaves, the second leaves, the first cover, and/or the second cover may have the same or different lengths. The first leaves may have first leaf lengths that are greater than or less than the first cover, while the second leaves may have second leaf lengths that are greater than or less than the second cover. The first cover may extend over the first leaves, the second cover may extend over the second leaves, and a portion of the first cover may extend over a portion of the second leaves or a portion of the second cover may extend over a portion of the first leaves to form the split hinge.
