A door panels-frame assembly includes a first revolving door panel, a second door panel that slides relative to the first door panel, and a supporting frame fixed to the door panels in order to movably support the door panels. The supporting frame has first sliding mechanism fixed to the second door panel to make the second door panel slide relative to the first door panel, the sliding mechanism including a fixed slide where a slider slides. The slide has an inclined end relative to the sliding direction of the second door panel when moved by the first sliding mechanism, in such a way to push the second door panel outwards when it is opened.

A plug door opening-closing apparatus, which is adapted for use with a vehicle having a vehicle front-rear direction and a vehicle width direction, includes a door hanger configured to be coupled to a door panel of the vehicle, a movable guide configured to guide movement of the door hanger in the front-rear direction and move in the width direction, a guide support member that guides movement of the movable guide in the width direction, and an interlock mechanism mechanically connected to the movable guide.

The invention relates to an overhead luggage compartment for an aircraft, comprising an upper luggage compartment element, a lower luggage compartment element movable between a locked and an open position, a holding device for holding the lower luggage compartment element in the closed position, a lifting spring for supporting the movement of the lower luggage compartment element from the open position to the closed position, and a retaining device for fixing the lifting spring in the tensioned state in the open position of the lower luggage compartment element. An operating handle for releasing the retaining device in the open position of the lower luggage compartment element is provided, wherein the lower luggage compartment element is movable, optionally with support by the lifting spring or with the lifting spring fixed in a tensioned state, from the open position to the closed position.

A door assembly may include a first sidelite, a second sidelite where the first and second sidelites are disposed in a common plane and defining a door opening between the first and second sidelites, a first sliding panel, a second sliding panel where the first and second sliding panels are movable from a closed position disposing the first and second sliding panels to block access through the door opening and an open position in which the first sliding panel is proximate the first sidelite and the second sliding panel is proximate the second sidelite, and are disposed in a second plane parallel to the common plane in both the open and closed position, a first partial door panel disposed in a third plane opposite the second plate relative to the common plane, and a second partial door panel disposed in the third plane.

The present invention is directed to a stepless sliding doors system, comprising: two sliding doors (10), at least one of them comprising: two vertical poles (30); means (50) for rotating each of the vertical poles (30); to each side of the vertical poles (30) is firmly connected a hand-connector (36); each of the hand-connectors (36) is pivotally connected to a rail-cart (18) having two rollers (42); each of the rail-carts (18) comprises a horizontal hinge (58) disposed between the rollers (42), and a vertical springy hinge (70), for applying pulling or pushing force of the rollers on a rail thereof, thereby allowing placing the sliding doors of the system in the same plane when in the closed state of the doors, and shifting the doors one along the other in the open state thereof, and additionally preventing the wheels to deviate from a rail in the case of slight deformations.

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 assembly for connecting a door to a fuselage of an aircraft includes a hinge arm having a fuselage fitting pivotably coupled to a fuselage rotatable interface and a door fitting pivotably coupled to a door rotatable interface. The hinge assembly includes a programmable gear assembly coupled to the hinge arm allowing the hinge arm to pivot around the fuselage fitting when the door is moved from a door closed position to a door open position and causing the door to maintain in a generally parallel orientation relative to the fuselage between the door closed position to the door open position. The programmable gear assembly includes a fuselage gear coupled to the fuselage fitting, a door gear coupled to the door fitting, and a rack operably coupled between the fuselage gear and the door gear.
