The present invention relates to a rotary drive (100) comprising: an output shaft (330); a motor (20), acting on the output shaft (330) via a downstream gear mechanism (30); an energy-store module with a linear line of action and with transmission elements (32, 326) to apply pressure circumferentially to an eccentric cam disk (331) arranged on the output shaft (330) for conjoint rotation therewith; and an intermediate shaft (320), being offset in relation said line of action and being provided between the motor (20) and the output shaft (330). The transmission elements (32, 326) comprise a roller lever (32), having a cam-follower roller (326) spaced apart from the intermediate shaft (320), wherein the cam-follower roller (326), pressed circumferentially against the eccentric cam disk (331), interacts with the output shaft (330). The energy-store module is arranged on the motor side in relation to the intermediate shaft (320).

A dimmer mechanism is movable by a motor that is powered by solar-charged supercapacitors between a first configuration, in which the dimmer mechanism blocks little of the interior of a skylight tube to maximize light throughput into a room, and a second configuration, in which the dimmer mechanism blocks more of the interior of a skylight tube to reduce light throughput into the room.

A hinge has two arms that can be pivoted relative to one another between a closed initial position and a second position. A first arm has a first guide slide. A second guide slide can be shifted along the pivot axis and can contact the first guide slide. When the two arms are moved towards the initial position, at least one cylinder-piston unit can be loaded by means of the second guide slide. The second guide slide can be rotationally fixedly coupled to the second arm in a first pivoting angle sub-range bordering the initial position and to the first arm in a second pivoting angle sub-range bordering the second position. The hinge has a first control slide rigidly connected to the second arm and a second control slide that makes contact with the first control slide and that is coupled against rotation to the first guide slide.

A hinge for a door or window has a door or window and a frame. The hinge has a first and a second hinge leaf pivotably connectable to each other. The first hinge leaf is connectable to the door/window or frame. The second hinge leaf is adjustably connectable to a base in turn connectable to the other of said door/window or frame. The second hinge leaf extends from the base in a first direction and the hinge comprises an adjustment mechanism with a cam and follower configured so that rotating the cam moves the second hinge leaf, relative to the base, in the first direction.

A washing machine includes a cabinet defining a lateral direction, a transverse direction, and a vertical direction. The lateral, transverse, and vertical directions are mutually orthogonal. The washing machine appliance also includes a top panel on the cabinet that defines an opening. A wash chamber is defined within the cabinet below the opening of the top panel. The washing machine appliance also includes a lid which is rotatable through a plane defined by the transverse direction and the vertical direction between a closed position to sealingly enclose the wash chamber and an open position to permit access to the wash chamber. A hinge rotatably connects the lid to the top panel. The hinge defines a compound pivot axis. The lid rotates relative to the top panel about the compound pivot axis.

A pivot device with an interlocking lifting mechanism includes a first interlocking member to which first and second shafts and a second interlocking member are pivotably connected. A torque device is mounted around the first and second shafts. A third interlocking member is pivotably connected to the second interlocking member and includes a sliding groove. A fixing seat includes a pivotal member extending through the sliding groove. The second interlocking member is slidably received in a guiding groove of the guiding seat. When the first shaft pivots through a certain angle, the first interlocking member pivots about the second shaft and actuates the second interlocking member. The third interlocking member pivots relative to the fixing seat. The sliding groove slides relative to the pivotal member. The second distal end synchronously slides relative to the first guiding groove to lift an auxiliary screen unit connected to the third proximal end.

The invention relates to a device for securing panes of glass for sliding doors, made up of a rear plate (3) on which a rolling element (2) is supported which is configured to enable the movement of the securing device (1) along a profile (F) of a sliding door (P); and a first front plate (4) and a second front plate (5) facing the rear plate (3) and able to be coupled to it, defining an intermediate mortise (7) for securing a pane of glass (H). Said securing device (1) comprises a third front plate (6) facing the rear plate (3) and able to be coupled to it, arranged between the first front plate (4) and the second front plate (5).

A door system with a deceleration mechanism may be adapted to control an opening of a door module that separates compartments of an aircraft and includes a door panel and a door frame. During the opening of the door module, the door panel performs a rotational movement 389 above a floor structure of the aircraft. The deceleration mechanism is operable in a normal operation mode and a deceleration mode and comprises a hinge, a wedge-shaped component that is rotatably attached to the hinge, and an activation device. The activation device is coupled to the wedge-shaped component and switches the deceleration mechanism from operating in the normal operation mode to operating in the deceleration mode when a difference in pressure between the compartments exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A rim strike assembly includes a strike body, strike jaw, retaining clutch, locking cam, locking clutch, and a solenoid. The strike jaw, retaining clutch, locking cam, and locking clutch are pivotably coupled to the strike body. The strike body and strike jaw define a latch cavity to receive a latch of a door. The strike jaw includes a jaw follower. The strike jaw is pivotable between a release position and a closed position. The retaining clutch engages the jaw follower and includes a retaining follower. The locking cam includes a retaining notch and a locking notch. The retaining follower engages the retaining notch. The locking clutch includes a locking follower that engages the locking notch of the locking cam. The solenoid includes a plunger coupled to the locking clutch such that movement of the plunger rotates the locking clutch from a locked position to an unlocked position.

A rotation transmission mechanism may include a plurality of rotation transmission members having a drive wheel and a driven wheel, and an urging member which urges the driven wheel in a reverse direction to a rotational direction by power of the drive source. The drive wheel and the driven wheel are provided with engagement parts structured to transmit turning of the drive wheel to the driven wheel, the drive wheel is provided with a cam face forming part on which the engagement part of the driven wheel is slid at a rotational position where the engagement parts are not engaged with each other, and a brake member structured to generate a rotation load is disposed in a range on an upstream side of a power transmission path including the drive wheel with respect to the driven wheel in the power transmission path transmitting the power of the drive source.
