A movement control device is provided comprising a housing (11) with an elongate push rod (10) mounted therein for reciprocal movement along a longitudinal axis (x). One end of the push rod extends out of the housing. A spring (12) is arranged between the housing and the push rod to provide a biasing force on the push rod in a first direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. A damping device (15) is arranged between the housing and the push rod to provide a damped resistive force in a direction opposite to said first direction. An indexing mechanism (18) controls movement of the push rod relative to the housing. The damping device is arranged to act along an axis (y) that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the push rod and spaced apart from it.

A damped closure mechanism is provided for controlling movement of a first member relative to a second member, for example the door (12) of an oven (11). The mechanism comprises a housing (14) having a main spring which is engagable with the oven door (12) for urging it towards its closed position and a damper (25) for providing damped resistance to this closing movement. The mechanism further comprises a second spring (29) which is also engagable with the oven door (12) for urging it towards its closed position. The second spring (29) is arranged to act in parallel with the main spring (24), and serves to hold the door (12) shut with spring force.

A sliding and braking device (10) of sliding doors closing off and opening two adjacent rooms comprises a profile (12) made of metal or other suitable material having a substantially C shaped cross-section with a lower horizontal branch or base (22), attached with screws or equivalent means to the inner face of the door (14) to be moved and fitted with an inverted U seat constituting the sliding guide (19) for one or more wheels (20) of at least one support (40) attached to a wall (42), above the through opening between said rooms. The device further comprises two damper stops (24), each consisting of a piston (26), a coil spring (28) overlapping one another and a pivoting slider (38). The two damper stops (24) are opposite and fixed along the base (22) of the profile (12) misaligned with each other; the pivoting slider (38) which such stops are fitted with, are provided with and abutted by an appendage (56) and (58) projecting from the support (40) and defining an actuator.

A furniture drive includes an entrainment member for retracting a movable furniture part into a closed position, and the entrainment member is displaceably mounted in sections along a linear travel path and can be detachably coupled to the movable furniture part. A spring device applies force to the entrainment member in a retraction direction, and a damping device damps movement of the entrainment member in the retraction direction. The damping device includes a fluid chamber and a ram which is displaceably mounted relative to the fluid chamber. A holding device is arranged between the ram and the entrainment member, and the holding device holds the ram relative to the entrainment member. The ram is movable through an opening of the holding device when a force acting upon the entrainment member in the retraction direction is exceeded, whereby the entrainment member can be decoupled from the ram.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator having a structure of a receptacle apparatus, which enables efficient utilization of a space for storing an object to be refrigerated or an object to be frozen, and a door or a cover which is for opening or closing the receptacle apparatus. Provided is a refrigerator, according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a first storage chamber provided above a cabinet; a second storage chamber positioned below the first storage chamber; a partition wall which is for partitioning the first storage chamber and second storage chamber vertically and of which the upper surface maintains a level position; an accommodation unit recessed downward from the upper side of the partition wall, forming a receptacle space and having an input port, into which an object to be stored is input, formed on the upper part thereof; an accommodation unit door provided so as to be movable in the direction parallel to the upper side of the partition wall and for selectively opening or closing the input port; and a position fixing unit provided on the rear of the accommodation unit door and for restraining the movement of the door when the accommodation unit door moves backward and opens the input port.

A damping assembly for a flap fitting includes first and second spring holders, between which at least two coil springs are arranged. In each of the at least two coils springs, a linear damper having a damper housing and having a piston rod slidable relative to the damper housing is arranged between the first and second spring holders.

A positionable hidden hydraulic hinge configured for installation of a door is provided. The positionable hidden hydraulic hinge includes a non-movable device body configured to be connectable with a door frame, a rotatable device body configured to be connectable with a door leaf, and a hinge configured to connect the non-movable device body and the rotatable device body. The rotatable device body includes a bearing guiding base having a guiding groove and a hydraulic chamber body. The positionable hidden hydraulic hinge also includes a linkage assembly configured to penetrate throughout the hinge. Two ends of the linkage assembly are configured to pivotably connect with the non-movable device body and an internal mechanism of the rotatable device body, respectively. A first end of the bearing guiding base is fixedly connected with the hinge, and a second end of the bearing guiding base is connected with the hydraulic chamber body.

Provided is a sliding door device which is capable of retracting a sliding door diagonally. Such a sliding door device 1 includes rails 7a and 7b for guiding the sliding door 2 to move in a retracting direction A from an open position to a closed position with respect to a main body 3 and guiding the sliding door 2 to move forward or backward in a front view of the sliding door 2 until reaching the closed position, a rod-shaped trigger 8 provided on one of the main body 3 and the sliding door 2, and a retracting device 9 provided on the other of the main body 3 and the sliding door 2 and retracting the trigger 8 while sliding in an axial direction D of the trigger 8 so that the sliding door 2 can move forward or backward.
