The carriage assembly may also include a coordination bar may be coupled to the motor output shaft or the motor housing, the motor output shaft or the motor housing may rotate the coordination bar responsive to operation of the motor. At least one linkage assembly may extend or retract to move the carriage assembly to move the door between an open position and a closed position based on rotation of the coordination bar.

A devices for touchless operation of a product outlet door of a vending machine includes a frame mountable within an interior of a vending machine; a lever comprising a lever rod coupled to the frame and rotatable with respect to the frame about a lever rod rotation axis, wherein the lever rod is couplable to the product outlet door of the vending machine; and an actuator configured to rotate the lever rod from a first lever rod position to a second lever rod position to cause the product outlet door to rotate about its rotation axis from its closed position to its open position so as to open the product outlet door.

A hinge for doors of domestic appliances, comprising a first element and a second element pivoted to each other and movable relative to each other in tilting fashion, the first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an electrical household appliance, for making the door movable with respect to the frame between a dosed position and an open position, a lever for connection between the first and the second closing elements, an elastic element connected to the lever and designed to generate with its own deformation a force of elastic adjustment designed to compensate at least partially the weight force of the door during the opening or closing of the door, means for adjusting the intensity of the elastic reaction force.

A domestic appliance may include a cabinet, a door, and a linear hinge coupling the door to the cabinet. The linear hinge may include a bearing assembly, an elongated shaft, a door linkage, and a cabinet linkage. The bearing assembly may be mounted to the cabinet. The elongated shaft may be received within the bearing assembly and slidable along a translation axis on the bearing assembly. The elongated shaft may define a first shaft pivot axis perpendicular to the translation axis and a second shaft pivot axis parallel to the first shaft pivot axis. The door linkage may couple the door to the elongated shaft. The door linkage may be pivotally connected to the elongated shaft at the first shaft pivot axis. The cabinet linkage may couple the cabinet to the elongated shaft. The cabinet linkage may be pivotally connected to the elongated shaft at the second shaft pivot axis.

A port-door release assembly includes a door and a linkage coupled to the door to support the door during movement between open and closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a drive shaft coupled to the linkage to drive movement of the linkage. The port-door release assembly includes a motor configured to rotate the drive shaft which moves the linkage and the door to the open and/or closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a back-up release assembly movable relative to the linkage to disconnect the drive shaft from the linkage which allows the door to move to the open position without actuation of the motor. A door assembly includes the port-door release assembly as described above and a housing defining a port in which the door is movable relative to the housing between the open position that uncovers the port and the closed position that covers the port.

A threshold sealing system for a door panel assembly includes a threshold biasing element and an anchor. The threshold biasing element including a base configured to attach to a floor surface and a biasing surface extending at an oblique angle relative to the base. The anchor is configured to secure the base of the threshold biasing element to the floor. The anchor and the threshold biasing element may be integrally formed and include the same materials. The oblique angle of the biasing surface ranges from 70 degrees to 80 degrees and has a height of at least 1.5 inches.

A lock device for locking the sliding door comprises a first lock portion and a transmission portion. The transmission portion may move along relative to the first lock portion a predetermined path, so that the transmission portion may bring the sliding door to move along the predetermined path to open or close the sliding door. The transmission portion has a plurality of successively arranged mating portions for locking with the first lock portion. The first lock portion has a first position in which the first lock portion is locked with the transmission portion and a second position in which the first lock portion is released from the transmission portion. The transmission portion may be locked in different positions along the predetermined path by matching the first lock portion 110 with different mating portions, so that the sliding door can be locked in different positions.

A slide-and-swing wing system includes at least one rail profile. At least two wings, each displaceably mounted in the at least one rail profile via two support elements The at least one rail profile has a lateral outlet opening for unlatching a support element of a wing. One wing functions as a door leaf which, with all other wings in the latched state, is pivotable into the remaining opening. A closure mechanism makes it possible to prevent the door leaf from being opened and includes a drive, and also an operating part, via which the drive can be actuated. The door leaf is displaceable, via the drive, in the rail profile in the direction of the adjacent wing to such an extent that no support element of the door leaf is aligned with the outlet opening, thereby preventing a support element from coming out through the lateral outlet opening.

A hinge lock for locking a door leaf with respect to a door frame and for pivoting the door leaf with respect to the door frame. The hinge lock has a first hinge element for arranging on the door leaf and a second hinge element for arranging on the door frame. The first hinge element and the second hinge element can be locked with respect to one another by means of a bolt which can be moved back and forth in a locking direction between an unlocking position and a locking position and the locking position by means of a drive rod which can be moved transversely to the locking direction. The disclosure further relates to a door having a hinge lock.

A latch to secure an access panel at an enclosure may include a shuttle component including a latch pin. The latch pin is configured to engage with a corresponding receptacle at the enclosure. A spring retracts the latch pin to within the access panel when the access panel is not positioned for installation at the enclosure, and permits the latch pin to protrude from the access panel to mate with the receptacle in response to magnetic attraction by a magnet positioned within the receptacle when the access panel is positioned for installation at the enclosure. The magnetic attraction of the magnet to the latch pin overcomes the force of the spring to retract the latch pin.
