A cabinet may include a top surface and a front side allowing access to an interior of the cabinet. The cabinet may also include a front panel, which may have a flat surface that is larger than the top surface. The front panel may be pivotable between a first configuration, in which the front panel is a vertical panel closing the front side, and a second configuration, in which the front panel forms a horizontal table top.

A balance system used with a door of a cupboard comprises a transmission shaft, a first pulley on the transmission shaft, and a balance component. The first pulley is connected to a door belt, one end of the door belt is secured to the first pulley, and the other end of the belt is connected to the door. The balance component comprises a balancing member, a balancing belt and a second pulley on the transmission shaft. One end of the balancing belt is connected to the second pulley, and the other end of the balancing belt is connected to the balancing member, such that the balancing member is hung on the second pulley. The first pulley and the second pulley rotate synchronously, and the door belt and the balancing belt are wound oppositely. With the balance system, a small driving force can open/close the door.

Disclosed herein are a washing machine, which includes a main body in which a main entrance is formed at a front thereof, a tub that is provided inside the main body, and a main door that is coupled to the main body to open and close the main entrance and includes a glass member and a holder member. The glass member includes a flange portion that is coupled to the holder member, and a body portion that protrudes toward an inside of the tub and has an auxiliary entrance formed therein for inputting laundry to the inside of the tub while the main door is closed. With this configuration, opening the auxiliary door and additionally inputting laundry is possible during a washing cycle.

In a preferred embodiment, a telescoping panel door for an aircraft compartment includes a first panel configured for hinged connection to a surface of a door frame, a second panel, and a linkage fixing a distance that the second panel can extend from the door frame, where the second panel is configured for connection to the door frame via the linkage. The door operates such that, in a closed position, the second panel is extended from an interior of the first panel, the first and second panels cooperate to completely cover an opening defined by the door frame, and the linkage is generally parallel to the plane defined by the door frame. In an open position, the second panel is retracted into the interior of the first panel by operation of the linkage and the first and second panels are nested to reduce a distanced spanned by the panels.

The displacement device includes a guide carriage that is slidable along a running rail and that is pivotally connectable to a first separation element. The guide carriage includes a carriage body with a carriage head and a carriage foot, which carriage head and carriage foot are connected with one another by a connecting beam, wherein the carriage head holds at least one support wheel and at least two guide wheels and wherein the carriage foot is connected torque proof with a first end piece of a hinge lever, whose second end piece is pivotally held by a hinge shaft that is connectable to a sidewall of the first separation element.

An assembly for guiding a movable furniture part includes a guide system to be fastened to a stationary furniture part, and a support on which a movable furniture part can be pivotably mounted and which can be or is movably connected to the guide system in order to indirectly guide the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part. The movable furniture part includes a guide device separate from the guide system, for directly guiding the movable furniture part on the stationary furniture part.

A guide system for guiding a movably-supported door wing, includes a carrier for pivotally supporting the door wing, a guide, in particular a guide rail, configured to be fixed to the furniture wall for moving the carrier along the furniture wall, a guide device for displaceably supporting the carrier along the at least one guide, a toothed rack, and a gear engaged or configured to be engaged in the toothed rack. The gear is movable at least partially along the toothed rack upon a movement of the carrier along the guide and being configured to be set into rotation by an engagement in the toothed rack, and the carrier includes a bearing device for supporting the toothed rack.

A container cabinet has a box-like structure and a door connected to the box-like structure by an articulated quadrilateral. The box-like structure has a first side shoulder and a second side shoulder, an upper panel, a lower panel, and a front part. The articulated quadrilateral, supporting and guiding the door from a door closing position to a door maximum opening position, has a crank having a first crank end and a second crank end, and a rocker arm. The crank is hinged with the first crank end to the door and with the second crank end to the upper or lower panel to rotate about a crank vertical rotation axis. The rocker arm is connected, on one side, to the door and, on an opposite side, to the first side shoulder and has a movable side panel having a movable side panel front end and a movable side panel rear end, respectively hinging the movable side panel to the door and to the first side shoulder.

Amounting device includes a support and a separate holding device. An installation device releasably secures the holding device to the support, and the holding device has at least two furniture hinges mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction of the holding device, and/or securing interfaces for securing furniture hinges. The door leaf can be supported on the holding device in an articulated manner by the furniture hinge, and the holding device includes a first mounting part, on which the at least two furniture hinges and/or securing interfaces are arranged, and a second mounting part to be arranged between the first mounting part and the support. The two mounting parts can be adjusted relative to each other, and the second mounting part can be adjusted relative to the support.
