A cooking appliance includes a housing having a stowage compartment, a door for closing a cooking chamber, and a door opening mechanism constructed to automatically move the door at least in a section of an entire movement path between a closed position and an open position of the door, in which open position the door is retractable into the stowage compartment of the housing. The door opening mechanism includes an actuation unit which is configured to automatically tilt the door from the closed position into an intermediate position located such that any further movement of the door from the intermediate position into the open position is implemented automatically under the force of gravity of the door.

A tilt latch system that comprises an actuator movable from a first position to a second position; a lock-out member movable from a retracted position to an extended position upon movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position; and an engagement member movable from an engaged position to a disengaged position upon movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position is provided. The actuator and the engagement member are maintained in the second and disengaged positions, respectively, when the lock-out member is in the extended position. The actuator and the engagement member are automatically biased to the first position and the engaged position, respectively, upon movement of the lock-out member from the extended to the retracted position. The tilt latch system may further comprise a lock-out device and/or be optionally utilized in a modular configuration.

The rear vehicle assembly comprises: a body structure delimiting an opening, a tailgate that is movable relative to the body structure between an open position, and a closed position, an opening and closing device comprising at least a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod fixing the tailgate to the body structure, wherein the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are each hinged at a first end to the body structure, and at a second end to the first lateral edge of the tailgate.

The first connecting rod comprises a first rectilinear section, a curved section, and a second rectilinear section.

An anti-fall flip-up sliding mechanism includes a hinge having a first hinge plate affixed to a cabinet and a second hinge plate pivotally connected the first hinge plate, a buffering device including a first damper connected between the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate and a second damper mounted at the second hinge plate, and a sliding device affixed to a door panel and slidably coupled to the second hinge plate and meshed with the second damper such that when the door panel is biased relative to the first hinge plate and received to the top side of the cabinet, the first damper and the second damper produce a buffering effect to avoid the door panel from sudden falling.

A glove box includes a cover mounted in a dashboard of a vehicle in a state in which a front surface of the cover is open and including a guide hole having an arch shape and directed from an upper side to a lower side on a side wall of the cover, a housing accommodated in a state in which an open surface thereof is covered by the cover and configured for selectively opening or closing the open front surface of the cover through a preset rotational trajectory, a plurality of transfer links that are arranged between first and second outer ends of the housing and first and second inner ends of the cover and provide a rotational trajectory of the housing, and an elastic member that corrects rotational forces of the transfer links.

A rear door assembly includes a rear opening and a roof structure having a recessed area. A carrier is movable along a portion of the recessed area between a rearward location to a forward location. A motor is attached to the carrier and the vehicle. The motor is operable to move the carrier relative to the roof structure and the rear opening between the rearward location and the forward location. A rear door has a hinge pivotally supported to the carrier for movement therewith. The rear door is movable between a door closed orientation covering the rear opening, an intermediate orientation partially exposing the rear opening and a door open orientation exposing the rear opening. A linear movement device has a first end attached to the carrier for movement therewith and a second end attached to the rear door at a location spaced apart from the hinge.

Piece of furniture, in particular a cabinet unit, having a furniture body which comprises side walls, a base and a cover wall and which can be closed and opened by means of a folding door arrangement 1 which has at least two folding door elements 2, 3 which can be pivoted towards one another about a horizontal pivot axis during an opening operation of the folding door arrangement 1 and can be pivoted away from one another about the horizontal pivot axis during a closing operation of the folding door arrangement 1, wherein one 3 of the at least two folding door elements 2, 3 is movably guided in the course of its opening pivoting movement along vertically oriented sliding guides 10 and the at least two folding door elements 2, 3 can be transferred into a substantially horizontally oriented raised opening intermediate position, from which they are movable through a horizontally oriented movement translationally along horizontal guides 14 into their opening end position within the furniture body, wherein at least one of the at least two folding door elements 2, 3 is movable into its raised opening intermediate position by a first motor drive 11 and from the opening intermediate position into its opening end position by a second motor drive 12.

A household appliance includes a housing surrounding an accommodation space and a door pivotable relative to the housing between a closing state in which the door closes a loading opening of the accommodation space and an opening state in which the door is retracted into a stowing area in the housing. A guide device is coupled to the door to guide the door during movement into and out of the stowing area. The guide device includes a bearing unit configured as a multi-articulated device which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation and includes guide elements. The multi-articulated device is configured such that a distance of the guide elements from one another and/or a distance of at least one of the guide elements to the axis of rotation is changeable depending on a position of the door.

A window assembly includes a support and a window frame having a first frame portion pivotally connected to a second frame portion. The second frame portion is connected to the support for movement with respect to the support. A window is connected to the first frame portion of the window frame. The window is movable between a closed position and an open position by pivoting of the window and the first frame portion of the window frame with respect to the second frame portion of the window frame and by relative sliding motion of the second frame portion of the window frame along the support.

A body of a motor vehicle having a supporting structure extending between a front end and a rear end, a floor, a roof and at least one lateral flank. The lateral flank is provided with an opening defined by an embrasure and receiving a single opening leaf articulated between at least a first closed low position which occults the opening and a second open high position. The second open position is spaced apart from the opening and is positioned at least partially above the roof. The supporting structure includes a post passing vertically through the opening. A single vertical transport carriage is mounted mobile in translation from top to bottom and from bottom to top along the post to pass the opening leaf from the first closed low position to the second open high position, and vice versa.
