A fitting such as a hinge can movably support a pivoting element relative to a stationary carrier. The fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a carrier, a second fitting portion configured to be fixed to the pivoting element, and a hinge lever pivotally supported about a hinge axis. The hinge lever hingedly connects the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion to each other. A spring device can move the first and second fitting portions into a closed position and/or into an open position relative to each other. A portion, preferably an end portion, of the spring device is supported on a support element, and the support element supporting the spring device is rotationally mounted, preferably on the hinge lever.

A slide member having a slide surface coated with a lacquer comprising a resin. The lacquer is in turn at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating. The lipophilic composition coating provides a slide layer on the slide member with low friction.

A hinge arrangement includes a first hinge component and a second hinge component and a hinge pin, where the first hinge component includes plurality of knuckles each having a respective bushing washer inserted therein. Each bushing washer includes a tubular bushing body inserted within its respective knuckle and an annular washer rim that unitary with the tubular bushing body and disposed atop its respective knuckle. An outer surface of each tubular bushing washer engages an inner surface of its respective knuckle to retain the bushing washer to the knuckle even when the hinge pin is removed and the second hinge component is separated from the first hinge component.

A window lifter for a motor vehicle contains a plastic component and a metal component. The plastic component is at least in sections in mechanical contact with the metal component on a bearing surface, and wherein microcapsules are embedded into the plastic material of the plastic component at least in the region of the bearing surface. The microcapsules are filled with a lubricant.

Hinge for the movement in opening and closing of a door with respect to a shoulder of a furniture item, said hinge including return closing mechanisms, a first fixed part attached to the shoulder, and a second movable part attached to the door, the fixed part and the movable part being articulated one to the other so as to be able to rotate around a pin, which constitutes the axis of rotation of the hinge, wherein the return closing mechanisms include at least one spring arranged around the pin exerting a force in the direction of the axis of the pin in the final phase of closing, tending to rotate coupling surfaces of the fixed part and movable part of the hinge.
