A compact, easily mountable door closer, particularly suited for use in cubicles provided in public washrooms, has a pivot member mounted substantially within a hollow body but has a section projecting from the body from which a door is, in use, suspended. A biasing element is provided to bias the pivot member toward a neutral position coincident with the door being closed. As the door and thus the pivot member is displaced away from the closed or neutral position to a defined angle, the biasing element and pivot member engage to provide a limit or fully open position.

A flap fitting includes a setting arm attached to a base element so as to be pivotable about a setting axis between an open position and a closed position, a toggle lever mechanism having a first lever and a second lever connected to each other pivotably about a pivot axis, and an energy accumulator. The energy accumulator acts on the first lever at a first link point spaced from the pivot axis and on the second lever at a second link point spaced from the pivot axis. Also, the first link point and the second link point are acted upon by the energy accumulator with force towards one another. A setting contour arrangement with a setting contour and a guide element is arranged between the first lever and the setting arm and the guide element is movable along the setting contour. The setting arm is forcedly loaded in the direction of rotation about the setting axis at least in a partial section along the setting contour by the first lever via the setting contour arrangement.

An arrangement (16) for controlling movements of an access member (12) relative to a frame (14), the arrangement (16) comprising abase section (18) for connection to either the access member (12) or the frame (14); a fixation part (20) for connection to the other of the access member (12) and the frame (14); a flexible elongated element (22) configured to be tensioned to thereby force the base section (18) and the fixation part (20) to move towards each other in a relative closing movement (86); and a braking device (82) arranged to brake a speed of the relative closing movement (86).

A gate latching system is provided. A gate latching system installed onto a gate hinged to a stationary post for covert, one-handed operation, the gate latching system comprising a latch bar mounted to an interior side of the hinged gate via a plurality of fasteners where a first end of the latch bar rests against the stationary post preventing the gate from opening in an inward direction. The latch bar having a latch affixed next to the first end of the latch bar. An operator lever affixed at a midpoint of the latch bar and a stiff wire connector coupled to the latch and the operator lever and a latch coupling fastened to the stationary post in plane with the latch to optionally couple with the latch.

An apparatus for automatically opening and closing a trunk lid includes an actuator having a first end configured to be coupled to a vehicle body and a second end configured to be coupled to a hinge arm coupled to the trunk lid, a closing trigger link having a first end rotatably coupled to the actuator, an opening trigger link rotatably coupled to the closing trigger link, a spring assembling pin having a first end coupled to the closing trigger link and the opening trigger link, and a spring having a first end coupled to a second end of the spring assembling pin, and a second end configured to be coupled to the vehicle body or a panel configured to be mounted on the vehicle body.

A connection pin (10) is connected to a shaped body (13) having a roll (14) and a coupling (16) for and end of a spring (17) acting in the opening direction. A shaped guide (19) has a path portion (21) with first and second extremities and having at least a recess (24) placed between the extremities where the roll abuts with the path portion and moves along it in the opening stroke starting from the closed condition, when the roll means (14) abuts a first extremity. The roll reaches a metastable opening condition where it is in and abuts the recess facing the second extremity until, due to a thrust towards the opening direction sufficient to leave the recess (24), the roll (14) reaches the condition of extreme opening in which it abuts against a second extremity and vice versa in the closing stroke.

Mechanism for opening of a flap door of an item of furniture, including a part extensible telescopically under the action of a spring, hinged to a lateral side of an item of furniture and acting on a door by way of a thrust fulcrum, wherein a unit is provided, apt to move continuously the thrust fulcrum during the phases of opening and closure of the door.

An automated gate for robotic mowers may include at least two doors that are sized to receive a robotic mower, and it can be installed in any fence to enable the mower to move between the yards on its own. The at least two doors of an automated gate may provide optional capability to lock when not used by the mower and unlock automatically when the mower gets close. By default, the at least two doors may remain unlocked, yet closed, thereby providing a cost-effective solution for customers who do not have to worry about pets. An add-on module may be provided that may add a locking mechanism and triggering mechanism, thereby providing end users with the ability to lock the automated gate completely.

A door closer, including: an anchor assembly, including: a frame mounting plate which is fixable relative to a door frame; and an adjustor plate; and an actuator assembly for mounting within the thickness of a door leaf to move the door leaf between open and closed configurations relative to the door frame, the actuator assembly including an operating member coupled by a link to the adjustor plate and mounted for a range of movements between a fully retracted position, in which the anchor assembly is held adjacent the actuator assembly when the door leaf is in the closed configuration, and an extended position, in which the anchor assembly is in spaced relation to the actuator assembly when the door leaf is in the open configuration, the link being configured to extend from the adjustor plate along a first axis, wherein the frame mounting plate is provided with one or more slot(s), the or each slot being elongated along a second axis, the second axis being generally orthogonal to the first axis.
