Such a furniture connecting fitting can be easily connected to and installed on a cabinet body even in a compact design.

One aspect is an actuator system having a rotatable drive shaft and a parallel axis friction brake engaged with the drive shaft and configured to provide a drag force on the rotatable drive shaft. The parallel axis friction brake further includes a brake housing and a friction assembly that has at least one parallel axis shaft and at least one clip pressed over the at least one parallel shaft in an interference fit. The friction assembly is engaged with the drive shaft and coupled to the brake housing, at least a portion of the friction assembly rotating with the rotatable drive shaft to create the drag force.

The present application relates to the field of storage equipment and provides a door opening device and storage equipment. The door opening device includes a plurality of electromagnetic push rod structures, where each of the plurality of electromagnetic push rod structures includes a push rod; and a controller electrically connected to the plurality of electromagnetic push rod structures and is configured to drive a plurality of push rods of the plurality of electromagnetic push rod structures to act synchronously. The door opening device according to the present application can reduce the thickness of the door opening device to a large extent under the condition of ensuring the pushing force through synchronous action of the plurality of electromagnetic push rod structures arranged in parallel, which is helpful to improve the application range of the door opening device.

A rear vehicle assembly includes a body structure defining an opening having a first side edge and a second side edge and including a tailgate that is movable relative to the structure between at least one open position, in which the opening of the structure is accessible, and a closed position, in which the tailgate closes the opening of the structure, wherein the tailgate comprises at least a first side edge and a second side edge. The assembly includes an opening and closing device fixing the tailgate to the structure. The opening and closing device includes at least a first jack and a second jack, wherein the first and second jacks are each fixed between the structure and the first side edge.

Actuating arm drive for at least one pivotably mounted actuating arm, in particular for driving a flap of a piece of furniture, comprising a plurality of articulatedly interconnected levers, wherein at least a first lever and a second lever of the actuating arm drive are arranged parallel to one another with a lateral spacing, and the levers each have two axial bores with a first standard spacing, through each of which bores an axial pin projects, wherein a third lever is provided which has receptacles for the axial pins with a second standard spacing, wherein the second standard spacing is greater or less than the first standard spacing, and wherein the axial pins each project through the axial bores of the first and second lever and are at least partially received in the receptacles of the third lever.

An assembly for moving a door of a piece of furniture, the assembly being adapted to move between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration so as to drive the door respectively between a closing position and an opening position. In particular, the assembly comprises a first arm adapted to be rotatably coupled with a first end to the side around a first rotational axis, a second arm articulated with a first end to a second end of the first arm around a second rotational axis, a third arm articulated to a second end of the second arm around a third rotational axis, the third arm being able to be attached to the door, and guiding means for guiding the roto-translatory motion of the door between the closing position and the opening position.

The invention relates to an overhead luggage compartment for an aircraft, comprising an upper luggage compartment element, a lower luggage compartment element movable between a locked and an open position, a holding device for holding the lower luggage compartment element in the closed position, a lifting spring for supporting the movement of the lower luggage compartment element from the open position to the closed position, and a retaining device for fixing the lifting spring in the tensioned state in the open position of the lower luggage compartment element. An operating handle for releasing the retaining device in the open position of the lower luggage compartment element is provided, wherein the lower luggage compartment element is movable, optionally with support by the lifting spring or with the lifting spring fixed in a tensioned state, from the open position to the closed position.

An load adaptive lift assist for a pivoting stowage bin includes an assembly housing having an interior and a pair of opposing end fittings. A piston rod is disposed within the assembly housing and operatively coupled to one of the end fittings, the piston rod being configured to move between extended and retracted positions based on the movement of the pivoting stowage bin. A spring retainer is attached to a structure that retains at least one lift assist spring and a latch mechanism is operatively coupled to the other of the end fittings. The latch mechanism includes at least one mechanical feature for retaining the spring retainer until a predetermined load has been exceeded in the stowage bin.
