5 A hinge system for a waste bin, the waste bin having a bin body with an open top and a lid for covering at least some of the open top, the system including a hinge assembly for hinging the lid to the bin body adjacent the open top, such that the lid is rotatable between a closed position covering at least part of the open top and an open position exposing the open top, and a damper assembly for connection to the bin body and the lid, the damper assembly having a damping mechanism configured for generating resistance to movement of the lid towards the closed position and substantially less resistance to movement of the lid towards the open position.

A damping assembly for a flap fitting includes first and second spring holders, between which at least two coil springs are arranged. In each of the at least two coils springs, a linear damper having a damper housing and having a piston rod slidable relative to the damper housing is arranged between the first and second spring holders.

A guide system for guiding a door wing, in particular a folding-sliding-door, movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The guide system includes a guide rail having a longitudinal direction, the longitudinal direction of the guide rail extending substantially parallel to a depth direction of the furniture carcass in a mounted condition on the furniture carcass. A carrier is provided for movably supporting the door wing, and the carrier is displaceably supported at least over a region along the guide rail. An abutment is provided for determining an end position of the carrier in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, and an adjustment device can adjust a position of the abutment. The abutment can be adjusted by the adjustment device in the longitudinal direction relative to the guide rail.

A vehicle window glass raising-and-lowering mechanism is achieved which can prevent a window glass from tilting, caused by a carrier plate rotating, even if the carrier plate is lowered down to a bottom dead point so that the window glass is fully open. The carrier plate includes a point of force that receives a movement force from wires in a downward direction. Two stopper members are provided at separated positions with respect to the vehicle forward and rearward direction, and the two stopper members have a positional relationship that crosses over either side of the point of force of the carrier plate.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having a top panel that at least partially defines an access opening to the interior. A lid is rotatable between a closed position and an opened position to selectively open or close the access opening. At least one hinge assembly couples the top panel with the lid. The at least one hinge assembly can include a lid hinge coupled to the lid and defining an axis of rotation of the lid. A hinge housing is coupled to the top panel and to the lid and configured to receive the lid hinge. A damper housing has a damper receiving portion, with a damper at least partially received within the damper receiving portion.

A hinge arrangement having a first hinge part and having a second hinge part, which are connected to one another such that they can pivot, a first hinge pin being formed on the first hinge part, on which a first hinge sleeve is pivotably mounted, which forms a first sliding bearing with the first hinge pin, a dimensionally stable support part being connected to the first hinge sleeve. A first axial protrusion is formed on a first axial end face of the first hinge pin, which engages in an arcuate first groove of the first hinge sleeve, wherein a circumferential first side wall of the first groove together with the first axial end face and an inner side of an end cover fixed at the end of the first hinge sleeve delimits a working space which is filled with a damping fluid for damping a relative movement of the first axial protrusion with respect to the first groove.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having a top panel that at least partially defines an access opening to the interior. A lid is rotatable between a closed position and an opened position to selectively open or close the access opening. At least one hinge assembly couples the top panel with the lid. The at least one hinge assembly can include a hinge housing coupled to the top panel. A cam is received within the hinge housing and coupled to the lid. A snubber housing is coupled to the hinge housing and has a damper receiving portion. A damper is at least partially received within the damper receiving portion.

A hinge that includes a first hinge portion that attaches to a side edge of a shower door panel, the first hinge portion having a pin protruding vertically therefrom; and a second hinge portion that attaches to a support and cooperating with the first hinge portion so that the shower door panel hinges between open and closed positions about an axis of rotation, the second hinge portion having a vertical socket that receives the pin, wherein the socket has a lateral opening to receive the pin, and a retainer member that covers the opening to retain the pin in the socket, and wherein the socket allows rotation of the pin within the socket; wherein the first and second hinge portions are arranged, in use, such that the axis of rotation is adjacent to the side edge and substantially between front and rear faces of the shower door panel.

A bidirectional damper comprises a mounting bracket, a tension spring, two damping cylinders and two engaging members; the mounting bracket comprises a first bracket plate, a second bracket plate and a connecting plate connected between the first bracket plate and the second bracket plate, the connecting plate comprises a main body section and extension sections at two ends of the main body section; the damping cylinder, the tension spring and the two engaging members are located between the first bracket plate and the second bracket plate, the damping cylinder and the tension spring are respectively arranged at two sides of the connecting plate, and the two extension sections are bent from the main body section towards the tension spring.

A vehicle storage compartment includes a first vehicle component including a pin, a second vehicle component pivotally hinged to the first vehicle component. The first vehicle component and the second vehicle component define a storage cavity in which a vehicle occupant in a passenger compartment may store objects. The compartment includes a dampener arm that is pivotally rotatable about one of the first pin and the second pin and defining a slot enclosing the other one of the first pin and second pin. The dampener arm slot defines an interference fit with the other one of the first pin and the second pin such that pivoting of the second vehicle component is dampened.
