A hinge is provided with two elements pivotally connected together for relative rotational movement about a hinge axis. The hinge has a spring formed of bent wire. The spring is mounted on one of the elements and a mechanism causes it to apply a biassing force between the two elements over at least part of their relative rotational movement. The biassing force is transmitted via a finger on the spring. A spreader is arranged to fit over the finger for engagement with the other element. The spreader extends continuously over the finger and engages substantially the whole of the finger.

Disclosed is a door hinge having a buffering function, including: a casing within which a damper is disposed in an axially movable manner, an end portion of a piston rod at the front end of the damper being fixedly connected to the casing; a hinge cup; a linking member A with a right end rotatably disposed inside the casing via a first rotating shaft and a left end rotatably connected to the hinge cup via a third rotating shaft; and a connecting member B with a right end rotatably disposed inside the casing via a second rotating shaft and a left end rotatably connected to the hinge cup via a fourth rotating shaft. The end portion at the right end of the linking member A or the connecting member B is disposed corresponding to the rear end of the damper.

Disclosed is a door device that can ensure necessary catch function and/or assist function and give a neat impression is provided. The hinge includes a first part to be attached to a main body and a second part to be attached to a door. The door device includes a base, an arm rotatably supported on the base and a spring for applying torque to the arm in the closing direction and/or in the opening direction thereof. The base of the door device is attached to the first part of the hinge.

A hinge having a side part which can be fastened to a wall and a hinge part which can be pivoted relative to the side part and to which a door can be fixed, and having a linear damper arranged in the side part with a housing and a piston rod which is pretensioned by a spring in a direction away from the housing.

Hinge for furniture including a fixed part housed in a seat of a horizontal plane of the furniture structure, and a moving part housed in a seat of a door of the furniture, to operate the door in opening and closing by a movement mechanism including at least one lever connecting a pin placed on the fixed part of the hinge and a pin placed on the moving part, wherein the closing force of the door is determined by a spring acting on a pusher that exerts a thrust force on a rocker arm, against which the lever of the door movement mechanism acts, wherein a unit are provided apt to vary the distance of the spring from a pivot pin of the rocker arm, in order to vary the lever arm and consequently the reaction force of the movement lever and therefore the closing force of the door.

A hinge having a side part which can be fastened to a wall and a hinge part which can be pivoted relative to the side part and to which a door can be fixed, and having a linear damper arranged in the side part with a housing and a piston rod which is pretensioned by a spring in a direction away from the housing.

An insertion station of a component (2), for example a clevis, in a component seat (12) formed in an assembly (3) to be assembled, for example a hinge assembly for doors, includes a component ordering device (14) to order the loose components coming from a component feed hopper. A component support seat (16) receives the component and is configured in such a way as to guide the component in the horizontal insertion direction. A manipulator (20) picks a component (2) from the component ordering device (14) and deposit the component in the component support seat (16). An insertion actuator (30) has a pusher member (32) operable to push the component (2) in the component seat (12), and a positioning unit (40), including an abutment (42) operable to block the assembly (3) in a component insertion position.

A furniture fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture carcass, and a second fitting portion to be fixed to a movable furniture part and hingedly or releasably connected to the first fitting portion. The first fitting portion includes a mounting body for fixing to the furniture carcass, and a carrier configured to adjust a position of the carrier relative to the mounting body. An actuating arm is pivotally arranged on the carrier, and a spring device applies a force to the actuating arm. An adjustment device with three operating elements is provided, and a position of the carrier relative to the mounting body can be adjusted by the operating elements. The mounting body includes a fastening side for fixing the mounting body to a furniture panel. Each of the operating elements is configured to be actuated from the front side of the mounting body.

A furniture fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture carcass, and a second fitting portion to be fixed to a movable furniture part, the two fitting portions being pivotally connected by a hinge axis member. The first fitting portion can be inserted into a recess in the furniture carcass, and/or the second fitting portion can be inserted into a recess in the movable furniture part. The first fitting portion and/or the second fitting portion includes a longitudinal housing having two end sections spaced apart. The hinge axis member is arranged on a first end section of the housing, and the first fitting portion and/or the second fitting portion includes a fastening device having a movably-mounted actuating element formed as a rotatable screw. By actuating the actuating element, at least one fitting portion can be fixed within the recess on both end sections of the housing.

A riveting apparatus (1) is for the application and riveting a rivet (6) to a component (2, 4) of an article (1a, 1b) being processed in a work region (96) of the apparatus. The riveting apparatus includes a rivet insertion device (30) for the insertion of the rivet into the component and a riveting device (40) for the riveting of the rivet.
