A domestic appliance, such as a double oven range, incorporates a door having a bottom end portion which, when shifted between closed and opened positions, both pivots and vertically shifts relative to a frame body of the appliance through at least a connecting rod, push rod and pivot arm of a hinge mechanism. Due to a combined pivoting and lifting action of the door, minimal to no clearance is required between the bottom end portion and adjacent structure.

A device is proposed for moving a furniture flap received on a furniture body of a piece of furniture having a spring-force unit, which assists the opening and/or the closing of the furniture flap by a predetermined force action of the spring-force unit via an adjusting arm engaging with the furniture flap in the mounted state. According to the invention, an electrically switchable adjusting unit is provided, which is coupled to the spring-force unit in such a way that a movement of the spring-force unit into a predetermined adjustment position of the spring-force unit on the piece of furniture occurs by a switching of the adjusting unit in the mounted state of the device so that a degree of force action of the spring-force unit on the furniture flap can be adjusted in dependence on the adjustment position of the spring-force unit.

A snap-acting hinge with damped closure and opening angle of more than 90, comprising a first articulated quadrilateral and a second articulated quadrilateral, which have a first lever and a second lever in common and are provided with respective base elements constituted by a plate for coupling to a fixed element and by a plate for fixing to a movable element, the hinge being movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; the hinge further comprises first elastic elements for holding the open configuration which are associated with the first quadrilateral, second elastic elements for holding the closed configuration which are associated with the second quadrilateral and a damper that acts in the transition from the open configuration to the closed configuration and which is interposed between the first lever and the fixing plate.

The present invention relates to household articles, in particular to a flip-up support device and a furniture piece with the flip-up support device. The flip-up support device comprises a base (1), an upper connecting assembly and a lower connecting assembly hinged to the base, a flip-up support member hinged to the upper connecting assembly and the lower connecting assembly, a fixing mechanism rotatably connected to the flip-up support member and the upper connecting assembly, a cushion member connected to the lower connecting assembly, and an adjusting assembly for adjusting a cushion force of the cushion member. The cushion force of the cushion member acts on the fixing mechanism via the lower connecting assembly and the flip-up support member. The structure of the flip-up support device is simple and compact, the operation is stable, and the noise is low. The cushion force of the cushion member can be adjusted by the adjusting assembly according to the actual required cushion force, thereby meeting the user's needs and being convenient for the user to use.

A room service table, including a table top having two opposing edges; at least two opposing legs adjacent a respective opposing edge, for supporting the table top, the legs having wheels for rolling the table along a surface; a drawer located underneath of the table top for receiving food for room service delivery; wherein the table top is moveably connected to the opposing legs, and whereby the table top and drawer can be tilted upwards with respect to both of the opposing legs to allow nesting together of two or more like room service tables.

A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass the furniture drive includes a housing having a first housing wall to be fixed to the furniture carcass, and a second housing wall which is at least partially spaced from the first housing wall. At least the first housing wall includes at least one guide device for guiding a fastening means. At least one supporting body is configured so as to be separate from the at least one guide device for guiding the fastening means, at least partially surrounds the at least one guide device, and is firmly connected to the first housing wall as well as to the second housing wall so that a movement of the second housing wall relative to the first housing wall is restrained.

A construction panel for a side of an item of furniture of a furniture body includes a plate-shaped central part having a first front surface and other front surfaces, and a cut-out arranged in the central part. The cut-out extends at least along one section of the first front surface of the construction panel and is used to accommodate a stop that guides a moveable furniture part. The construction panel includes, in the region of at least one of the additional front surfaces, at least one machinable section that is outside of the cut-out.

An electronic gaming machine that includes a cabinet, a display, and a hinge assembly coupled therebetween. The hinge assembly includes a first bracket coupled to the cabinet, a second bracket coupled to the display, and at least four pairs of interdigitated members extending between the first bracket and the second bracket. The hinge assembly is selectively expandable and retractable between a retracted position and an expanded position, and the hinge assembly is configured to swing the display from a lowered position to a raised position as the hinge assembly is expanded from the retracted position to the expanded position.

An actuating drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass, includes at least one pivotally mounted actuating arm for moving the movable furniture part, a spring device for applying a force to the actuating arm, and a locking device for releasably locking the actuating arm. The locking device includes at least one movably-mounted locking element cooperating with at least one locking recess in a position in which the actuating arm is locked. The locking element can be unlocked from the at least one locking recess by a switch element to be operated manually, and can also be unlocked by a control portion arranged on the actuating arm. The control portion can be acted upon by mounting the movable furniture part to the actuating arm.

A hinge for connecting a door to a household appliance compartment is described, having a fastening bracket suitable for being fastened to the compartment of the household appliance, a movable support to rotatably constrain the door to the fastening bracket, an activating arm coupled to the fastening bracket, movement means suitable for moving the activating arm, the activating arm having a first end portion suitable for being constrained to the door, and a second end portion suitable for being coupled to the movement means to move the activating arm between an open position and a closed position of the door, the movement means having an electric motor and reversible connecting means to couple and decouple selectively the electric motor to/from the second end portion, the hinge being configured so that when the electric motor is coupled to the second end portion, the electric motor causes the movement of the activating arm, while when the electric motor is decoupled from the second end portion, the movement of the first end portion occurs independently of the electric motor to allow a user to freely move the door.
