The invention relates to a furniture hinge (10) with a hinge arm (20) and a fastening portion (30), wherein the hinge arm (20) and the fastening portion (30) are pivotably connected to one another via a multi-axis articulated connection (40), and wherein a damping element (60), which damps in a deflection direction, for damping the movement of the hinge arm (20) and a spring (76) for adjusting the hinge arm (20) with respect to the fastening portion (30) are provided. It is provided here that the damping element (60) is mounted in such a way that, during a folding movement of the hinge arm (20) from a first end position into a second end position, a maximum or a minimum deflection of the damping element (60) is carried out within an adjusting movement of the damping element (60) caused by said folding movement. As a result, a furniture hinge which can be produced cost-effectively and which allows damped opening and closing of the hinge arm is provided.

A furniture hinge for pivotally connecting at least two furniture parts to one another, including: at least two fastening portions which are pivotally connected to one another for fastening to the furniture parts, wherein the fastening portions can be moved relative to each other between a closed position and an open position, a spring device for pressing the fastening portions into the closed position and/or into the open position, a damping device for dampening a relative movement of the fastening portions, wherein the spring device is integrated into the damping device, wherein the damping device and the spring device are accommodated within a first and within a second housing portion, wherein the first and second housing portions, for performing the relative movement, are displaceably arranged relative to one another.

A method for installing a guide assembly for a movable furniture part includes preferably carrying out chronologically in the following order: arranging on the furniture wall a first guide rail for guiding the movable furniture part, and arranging on a first longitudinal side of the first guide rail a drive device for influencing the movement of the movable furniture part on the furniture wall, the first guide rail and the drive device preferably being connected together. If the movable furniture part comprises at least two door leaves connected together in an articulated manner, arranging a second guide rail for guiding the movable furniture part on the furniture wall on a second longitudinal side of the first guide rail, the first guide rail and the second guide rail preferably being connected together in a form-fitting and/or movable manner in particular.

A vehicle spring assembly includes a cylindrical hollow cover defining an opening at each end. A spring is disposed within the cover, and fittings disposed at each end of the cover are configured to contain the spring within the cover. Each fitting defines an aperture. An elongated damper extends in part within the spring along a direction of elongation. The damper includes a pair of opposing end sections each extending through and projecting from the aperture of one of the fittings. Each end section defines a groove. One end section is connectable to a vehicle tailgate, and the other end section is connectable to a vehicle body. Fasteners securing the fittings to the cover are disposed adjacent the grooves defined in the damper end sections.

Provided is a sliding door device which can move a support shaft attached to a sliding door along an inclined portion of a rail by using a pull-in device. The rail (6a) is provided with the straight portion (11) for linearly guiding the support shaft attached to the sliding door (2) and the inclined portion (12) which is inclined with respect to the straight portion (11) and obliquely guides the support shaft. The straight portion (11) of the rail (6a) is provided with the pull-in device (15) which can capture a trigger (18) provided on the straight portion (11) of the rail (6a) and linearly move along the straight portion (11) of the rail (6a) when the sliding door (2) is closed. A pull-in force transmission part (20) for moving the support shaft along the inclined portion (12) of the rail (6a) is coupled to the pull-in device (15).

An apparatus for moving sliding doors and wardrobe doors fixed to the inner face of the top of a door (10) comprises at least one carriage (34) and at least one braking device (20) with a slider (22) pulled by at least one coil return spring (24). The door is hung from a beam made up of two extruded profiles (12), (14), the first of which is fastened to the wall with screws (15) and relative plugs; the second extruded profile (14) is fastened to the first profile (12) with snap-in couplings. These coupled profiles define a cavity (16) in which the braking device (20) is housed and stabilised with screws (18), fixed on a cantilevered bracket (26) of the second extruded profile (14); the latter defines a sliding track (28) for the wheels or bearings (30) of the carriage(s) (34), fixed to the door (10) at a recess (32).

A door assembly of a vehicle includes a first door panel movable at least partially across a door opening from a first side of the door opening toward a second side of the door opening, a second door panel spaced apart from the first door panel and movable at least partially across the door opening from the first side toward the second side. A first magnetic element is located at the first door panel and a second magnetic element is located at the second door panel. The second magnetic element is interactive with the first magnetic element such that moving of the first door across the door opening causes movement of the second door panel across the door opening.

This invention discloses a door opener, comprising a shell consisting of an upper cover plate (1) and a lower cover plate (2). The key is that a pushing device for pushing the door to rotate is provided in the shell. An end of a driving device, which has one or more springs, can drive, via a rotating member (3), the pushing device to rotate. A locking/releasing device, which cooperates with the driving device, is provided at the other end of the driving device. The structure of this invention is unique. It allows the door to be conveniently opened and will not cause any possible harm to the users.

An exemplary closure assembly includes a rail assembly and a door assembly movably mounted to the rail assembly. The door assembly includes a rotary damper having a pinion, and the rail assembly includes a rack member operable to engage the pinion. As the door moves from first position to a second position, the rack member engages the pinion, thereby causing the pinion to rotate in a first rotational direction. The rotary damper resists rotation of the pinion in the first direction, thereby slowing movement of the door toward the second position. The rotary damper may be a one-way damper that does not resist rotation of the pinion in a second rotational direction such that the rotary damper does not resist movement of the door from the second position toward the first position.
