A hinge includes a hinge arm, a hinge cup, at least one resilient member, and a retaining member. The hinge cup is pivotally connected with respect to the hinge arm and includes a receiving room. The resilient member is mounted in the receiving room of the hinge cup. The retaining member is mounted at the resilient member.

A furniture hinge includes a first hinge portion to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a second hinge portion having a hinge cup to be fixed to a movably-mounted furniture part, a hinge axis connecting the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion, a bearing portion inserted into the hinge cup, the bearing portion including a cavity, and a spring device configured to move the furniture hinge from a predetermined angular position into a fully closed position and/or into a fully open position. A first end region of the spring device is supported on the bearing portion when the bearing portion is inserted into the hinge cup, the cavity being configured to accommodate the spring device. A convex control curve configured to interact from the predetermined angular position towards the fully closed position with the spring device. A pressure portion has a counter contour configured to be pressed against the convex control curve by the spring device. The counter contour has a concave section complementary to the convex control curve.

A hinge for leaves of furniture and the like, which comprises a fixed part which is shaped to be inserted in a seat provided within the thickness of an upper or lower wall of a piece of furniture and a moveable part which can be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the moveable part being mutually connected so as to oscillate by way of an articulation system which comprises at least one articulation axis and a rocker, the hinge further comprising elastic elements for closing the hinge which are functionally connected to the at least one rocker, and a deceleration device which is adapted to decelerate at least part of the closing and/or opening motion of the hinge, the deceleration device being actuated by actuation elements which are entirely concealed within the fixed part of the hinge.

A hinge comprises a hinge part, which can be secured on a door of the shutter and is mounted on a side part such that it can be pivoted via a carrying lever and a guide lever, also comprises at least one spring, by means of which the hinge part, in a self-retracting region of the hinge, is prestressed into a closed position, and further comprises a linear damper with a piston rod, which can be moved relative to a damper housing and is intended for damping a closing and/or opening movement of the hinge part, wherein a deflecting element is provided, said deflecting element being mounted on the side part such that it can be rotated about an axis and being arranged between the damper and the guide lever so that, during a closing movement of the hinge part, it moves the damper in order to generate a damping force, wherein, during an opening movement of the hinge part, the deflecting element moves the damper in order to generate a damping force before the fully open position of the hinge part has been reached. This makes it possible to avoid hard impact of a door in the opening direction.

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.

An assembly line (40) includes a transport system having pallets (70), a riveting machine (100) with a stop device (1005) and a riveting device (1010), and a crushing head (1011). The stop device (1005) and the riveting device (1010) flank the pallet (70) on opposite sides, while a stop (1006) of the stop device (1005) and the crushing head (1011) are translatable to approach the article from opposite sides during assembly.

An article of furniture, comprising a furniture carcass, includes a two-part furniture flap having a first flap part, and a second flap part, and at least one support device for the two-part furniture flap. The at least one support device is connected to the furniture carcass and the two-part furniture flap in an articulated manner. The at least one support device has a transmission portion, which is on an inside of the first flap part and defines a setting angle of the second flap part to the first flap part according to a setting angle of the first flap part.

A hinge for door leaves of furniture and the like, which comprises a fixed part that can be connected to a body of a piece of furniture and a movable part that can be connected to a door leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the movable part being mutually connected in an oscillating manner by way of an articulation system that comprises at least one articulation axis and a rocker, the hinge comprising elastic means for opening the hinge which are functionally connected to the at least one rocker; the fixed part of the hinge is shaped so that it can be inserted into a seat defined within the thickness of an upper or lower wall of a piece of furniture.

A furniture hinge for pivotally connecting at least two furniture parts to one another includes at least two fastening portions pivotally connected to one another for fastening to the furniture parts, and the fastening portions can be moved relative to each other between a closed position and an open position. A spring device presses the fastening portions into the closed position and/or into the open position, and a damping device dampens a relative movement of the fastening portions. The spring device is integrated into the damping device, and the damping device and the spring device are accommodated within a first and within a second housing portion. The first and second housing portions are displaceably arranged relative to one another for performing the relative movement.

A door hinge having a damping function, comprising a housing, a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a U-shaped rotating shaft, a hinge cup, a linkage member, a torsion spring, a connector, a supporting structure, and a damping structure; one end of the linkage member is rotationally provided in the housing by means of the first rotating shaft, and the other end of the linkage member is rotationally connected to the hinge cup by means of one arm of the U-shaped rotating shaft; one end of the connector is rotationally provided in the housing by means of the second rotating shaft, and the other end of the connector is rotationally connected to the hinge cup by means of the other arm of the U-shaped rotating shaft; the torsion spring is fitted over the second rotating shaft.
