A check and release mechanism for holding a door in a desired opened position against the force of a closing cylinder includes an operator rod moved with the door which rod has a latch element pivotally mounted to one side of the rod and is moved along a guide slot in a mechanism case, by opening movement of the door into an enlarged engagement chamber, and the leading end of the latch element engages a first fixed feature therein at the approximate location where it is desired to hold the door open. That engagement causes a slight tilting of the latch element and stops further opening advance of the door and operating rod. A slight retraction of the door and the operating rod caused a trailing end of the tilted latch element to engage a second fixed feature in the chamber which causes the latch element to tilt further in the same direction preventing further closing movement of the door. The engagement of the latch element with the second fixed feature is released by manually moving the door back in the opening direction, causing one side of the tilted latch element to engage the first fixed feature to tilt the latch element further, and upon release the door again moves in the closing direction and the opposite side of the latch element then contacts the second fixed feature be pivoted so as to again be in alignment with the guide slot, allowing the door to close with the latch element advancing down the guide slot.

A locking member for locking a rod in a path for the rod to pass through, wherein the path is formed to have a substantially heart shape, wherein the locking member includes a speed regulation path portion for regulating entrance speed by causing the rod that enters the path to fluctuate, and a locking portion for locking the rod whose entering speed is regulated, wherein the speed regulation path portion extends in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to a width direction of the locking member, and the speed regulation path portion includes rod receiving portions that are disposed at a start edge and an end edge, wherein the rod receiving portions are for regulating the entering speed by receiving the fluctuation in a forward and backward direction of the rod that enters the speed regulation path portion.

A display case including a frame with a first fastener, a door with a second fastener, and a bracket coupling the door to the frame is described. The bracket has a first end coupled a second end. The first end is pivotably coupled to the frame by the first fastener. The first end includes a first pair of spring arms having a first slot to couple to the first fastener and to allow the door to pivot between open and closed positions. The second end is slideably coupled to the door by the second fastener. The second end has detents on a second pair of spring arms and a second slot to allow the second fastener of the door to slide as the door is pivoted between open and closed positions. A first detent is positioned further from the first end of the bracket than a second detent.

An arrangement includes a folding door or folding-sliding door, which comprises at least two door leaves connected to one another in an articulated manner. An ejector device is arranged on a first of the two door leaves for at least partially transferring the folding door or folding-sliding door from a folded open position into a closed position. The at least two door leaves are arranged in a common closing plane, and a holding element is arranged on the second of the two door leaves. The ejector device has an ejector element which can be brought into engagement with the holding element in the open position to hold the folding door or folding-sliding door in the open position. The ejector element is configured to apply a force to the holding element to move the second door leaf from the open position into the closed position.

The first end is pivotably coupled to the frame by the first fastener. The first end includes a first pair of spring arms having a first slot to couple to the first fastener and to allow the door to pivot between open and closed positions. The second end is slideably coupled to the door by the second fastener. The second end has detents on a second pair of spring arms and a second slot to allow the second fastener of the door to slide as the door is pivoted between open and closed positions. A first detent is positioned further from the first end of the bracket than a second detent.
