An opening and closing body control apparatus for a vehicle includes an assist control portion configured to detect an operation of an opening and closing body of the vehicle by an operator or a user and control voltage applied to a motor serving as a drive source which applies a drive force to the opening and closing body during the operation of the opening and closing body by the operator or the user. The assist control portion applies an assist voltage and an offset voltage alternately to the motor to operate an assist control for applying the drive force to the opening and closing body. The assist voltage for rotating the motor at a rotation speed which corresponds to an operation speed of the opening and closing body and the offset voltage being lower than the assist voltage.

The present utility model relates to a graphite furnace locking device, comprising: a stationary part which is provided with a locking unit, a movable part which is arranged along a first direction facing the stationary part, the movable part being provided with a latch bolt unit; wherein, the movable part may move towards the stationary part along the first direction until the latch bolt unit and the locking unit are connected and then the locking device is in a locked state; the latch bolt unit provides a first elastic force for the movable part towards the direction of the stationary part; the locking unit is used to disconnect from the latch bolt unit, and then the locking device is in an unlocked state; the latch bolt unit provides a second elastic force for the movable part in a direction away from the stationary part, and the movable part can move away from the stationary part in the first direction under the action of the second elastic force to its initial position. For the locking device of the present utility model, when it is under an unlocked state, the movable part is automatically sprung away to prevent the operator from being injured by scalding.

A second slider is connected to the support plate and includes a second guide line. A link arm includes a link arm body. The link arm body has a link arm rotation axis disposed at a first end of the link arm body and a link arm pin hole disposed at a second end of the link arm body. A link arm pin is configured to extend through the link arm pin hole, the first guide line and the second guide line.

An actuating apparatus (1) for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle, having a locking and/or arresting kinematics that cooperate with the cover. The actuating apparatus includes a housing (2) and an actuating part (3) received in the housing (2) and movably supported relative to the housing (2). The actuating part (3) cooperates with the cover in such a way that the actuating part (3) performs a movement relative to the housing (2) between a first position and a second position upon a movement of the cover between a closed position and an open position, wherein, in the first position, the actuating part (3) is in a locked state. The actuating apparatus (1) further includes an elastically deformable spring system (4) associated with the actuating part (3), in particular having a progressive spring characteristic.

A sliding door includes a frame and a slow close assembly. The frame is positioned along at least a portion of the sliding door and includes a protrusion configured to slide along with the sliding door. The slow close assembly is repositionable between an outward position and a compressed position. The slow close assembly includes a slow close mechanism, a spring, and a soft close latch. The slow close mechanism is laterally positioned within the slow close assembly. The spring is positioned at an end of the slow close assembly and provides an outward force onto the slow close assembly in an outward direction substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction. The soft close latch is configured to engage the protrusion as the protrusion slides along with the sliding door. The spring biases the slow close assembly into the outward position when the latch is not interfaced with the protrusion.

An exemplary method involves operating a door operator coupled to a door. The door operator includes a motor operable to move the door in at least one direction and a controller operable to control the motor. The method generally involves a calibration procedure including: with the door at a first position and the door having an initial speed, initiating, by the controller, measurement of a time duration; in response to the door reaching a target speed different from the initial speed, ceasing, by the controller, measurement of the time duration; and determining, by the controller, a maximum speed based on the time duration. The method further includes performing at least one operation based upon the maximum speed.

Proposed is a door hinge for an oven. More particularly, proposed is a door hinge for an oven, which when a door is opened, can prevent the door from being excessively opened and can prevent the door from being further opened at the maximum opening angle.

A novel electric strut is disclosed, including an electric strut casing in which a supporting pipe casing is sleeved. A supporting pipe is installed in the supporting pipe casing, a screw rod has a front end connected with the rear end of the supporting pipe, a front end of the supporting pipe is connected with a ball-and-socket joint, a special-shaped conduit is sleeved outside the screw rod and located in the electric strut casing, a spring is sleeved on surfaces of the supporting pipe and the special-shaped conduit, an adjustable damper is mounted at a tail portion of the screw rod, a motor is mounted in the electric strut casing at a rear end of the screw rod and connected with the screw rod, a rear end of the electric strut casing is sealed through an integrated motor joint integrally fixed to a tail portion of the motor.

An apparatus comprises a base plate configured to be coupled to a door, the door configured to be positioned in an open position and a closed position; a closing mechanism coupled to the base plate and configured to be coupled to a hinge of the door and having an unprimed state and a primed state, the closing mechanism configured to be transitioned between the unprimed state and the primed state by a user; wherein in the unprimed state the closing mechanism is decoupled from operation of the door; and in the primed state the closing mechanism is configured to move the door into the closed position responsive to receipt of a signal, and the closing mechanism is configured to allow movement of the door between the open position and the closed position in absence of the signal.

Disclosed herein is a sealing assembly for moving a slidable panel for engagement with and disengagement from sealing means, the sealing assembly comprising a linkage assembly which connects a handle and at least one roller assembly having roller wheels, the sealing assembly being configured to be adjustable, by manipulation of the handle, such that the at least one roller assembly and the slidable panel supported thereby are movable between a first position where the slidable panel is in contact with sealing means thereby providing weatherproofing and a second position where the slidable panel is free of the sealing means and the panel is able to move freely relative to an outer frame, and wherein the linkage assembly is configured to as to provide a variable force through the handle when the at least one roller assembly and supported panel is moved between the first and second positions.
