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.

A hinge for leaves of furniture and the like, which comprises a fixed part which is shaped to be inserted in a seat provided within the thickness of an upper or lower wall of a piece of furniture and a moveable part which can be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the moveable part being mutually connected so as to oscillate by way of an articulation system which comprises at least one articulation axis and a rocker, the hinge further comprising elastic elements for closing the hinge which are functionally connected to the at least one rocker, and a deceleration device which is adapted to decelerate at least part of the closing and/or opening motion of the hinge, the deceleration device being actuated by actuation elements which are entirely concealed within the fixed part of the hinge.

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.

An ejecting device can eject a cover element movably mounted on a piece of furniture, in particular a folding door or folding/sliding door, from a closed position into an open position. The cover element can be moved at least in a first direction perpendicular to the closing plane, on which the cover element is arranged in the closed position, and in a second direction parallel to the closing plane. The ejecting device includes an energy accumulator, which is to be charged manually by a user, and an ejecting element, on which the energy accumulator acts. The energy accumulator can be charged by moving the cover element substantially in a direction parallel to the closing plane, preferably during an ongoing cover element opening process following the ejection process, particularly preferably immediately following the ejection process.

Provided is a retracting device which can decrease a difference of restoring force of a tension coil spring between a retracted position and a stop position. The retracting device of the present invention includes a base 12, a slider 14 which can catch a trigger 8 and move from the stop position to the retracted position with respect to the base 12 and a tension coil spring (B) for relatively moving the slider 14 which has caught the trigger 8 from the stop position to the retracted position with respect to the base 12 to apply force for assisting the closing operation to a sliding door 1. The tension coil spring (B) is an initially-tensioned spring in which a coil closely contacts and which has initial tension in a direction in which the coil closely contacts when it is in a natural length.

A door closer includes a helical extension spring disposed within a housing. A first end of the spring is attached to a spring anchor attached to a first end of the housing. A second end of the spring is attached to a first end of a strap. The strap passes through a strap guide attached to a second end of the housing. A second end of the strap is configured for attachment to a door jamb. The spring anchor and strap guide are configured for attachment to a door.

A hinge for leaves of furniture and the like, which comprises a fixed part which is shaped to be inserted in a seat provided within the thickness of an upper or lower wall of a piece of furniture and a moveable part which can be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the moveable part being mutually connected so as to oscillate by way of an articulation system which comprises at least one articulation axis and a rocker, the hinge further comprising elastic elements for closing the hinge which are functionally connected to the at least one rocker, and a deceleration device which is adapted to decelerate at least part of the closing and/or opening motion of the hinge, the deceleration device being actuated by actuation elements which are entirely concealed within the fixed part of the hinge.

An oven appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet. The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly such that the doors rotate open and closed simultaneously. The linkage assembly includes a spur gear that engages another gear of the linkage assembly. The spur gear can hinder unwanted rotation of the pair of doors or compress the pair of doors against a seal.

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).
