The present disclosure relates to an actuating mechanism (100) for actuating covers (102) for vehicles. The actuation mechanism (110) includes: a drive having a drive shaft; and at least one lever arm (101), which is connectable to the cover (102) and is configured so as to tap a rotational movement from the drive shaft when the drive is actuated and convert it into a movement of the cover (102). The lever arm (101) includes a drive surface (111), which communicates with the drive shaft such that a rotation of the drive shaft via the drive surface (111) is transferred to the lever arm (101). The drive surface (111) includes a first region (112) where a rotation of the drive shaft moves the lever arm in a first direction when the lever arm is in communication with the drive shaft via the first region (112), and wherein the drive surface (111) includes a second region (114) configured such that a rotation of the drive shaft moves the lever arm in a second direction when the lever arm communicates with the drive shaft via the second region (114).

A sliding window for a building includes a stationary frame, an opening leaf, a motorized drive device, a fittings system and a locking control device. The motorized drive device includes an electromechanical actuator, a flexible element and a drive arm. The flexible element drives movement of the opening leaf with respect to the stationary frame when the actuator is electrically activated. The arm is connected both to a frame of the opening leaf and to the flexible element. The locking control device is configured to collaborate with a lock of the fittings system and to be actuated by the flexible element when the actuator is electrically activated. The drive arm supports the locking control device. The fittings system also includes an errorproofing system. The locking control device is configured to actuate the lock following activation of the errorproofing system and when the actuator is electrically activated.

A rotary actuator assembly, a household appliance having same and a control method therefor. The rotary actuator assembly comprises an object to be rotated and a rotary actuator configured to match said object. The rotary actuator comprises an output shaft and a driving mechanism for driving the output shaft to rotate. Said object is provided with a shaft hole matching the output shaft. The output shaft and the shaft hole of said object are internally provided with a driving structure and a butt joint structure matching each other in the circumferential direction. A resisting surface and a butt joint surface for pushing said object to move during the rotation of the output shaft are formed between the driving structure and the butt joint structure. A rotation space for manual operation of said object is formed between the driving structure and the butt joint structure.

A hinge assembly for a door, the hinge assembly including a hinge pin arranged to be fixed to the door at one end and having a pin connector part at an opposite second end. A rotation damper connected to a damper connector part arranged to cooperate with the pin connector part for transferring torque around an axis of rotation between the damper connector part and the pin connector part throughout an opening angle of the door, such that a rotational movement of the damper connector part about the axis of rotation in at least a first rotational direction is dampened by the rotation damper. The pin connector part and the damper connection part allow an initial closing angle of rotation of the door before the damper acts on the rotation of the hinge pin, the initial closing angle being at least 2?.

A hinge comprises a hinge part, which can be secured on a door of the shutter and is mounted on a side part such that it can be pivoted via a carrying lever and a guide lever, also comprises at least one spring, by means of which the hinge part, in a self-retracting region of the hinge, is prestressed into a closed position, and further comprises a linear damper with a piston rod, which can be moved relative to a damper housing and is intended for damping a closing and/or opening movement of the hinge part, wherein a deflecting element is provided, said deflecting element being mounted on the side part such that it can be rotated about an axis and being arranged between the damper and the guide lever so that, during a closing movement of the hinge part, it moves the damper in order to generate a damping force, wherein, during an opening movement of the hinge part, the deflecting element moves the damper in order to generate a damping force before the fully open position of the hinge part has been reached. This makes it possible to avoid hard impact of a door in the opening direction.

Hinge, in particular for an oven, with a housing on which a lever arm is stored in a swingable manner, and is activated by a driving gear. In an improved hinge of this type, the driving gear is connected to a tappet, which is connected to exert pressure on the lever arm.

A hinge device includes a first connection means (3) assigned to be fixed to a structure or frame and rotatably connected to a second connection means (5) assigned to be fixed to a door device (1) comprises at least one interconnecting means (7) connected to a sliding means (13) and a friction means (17) with at least one friction sliding block (25) secured to the sliding means (13) and sliding along a respective sliding wall (27) of the first connection means (3) and parallel to a direction of translation of the sliding means (13), wherein at least one arrest means (19) is fixed or made in the first connection means (3) in proximity to a sliding wall (27) to abut with the sliding means (13) to arrest its stroke towards the closing of the door or of the shutter in correspondence to the breather opening condition (S).

Power window operators and windows incorporating the power window operators are described herein. The power window operators include both a guide pin and guide pin slot, as well as a pivot pin and pivot pin slot to control movement of an operator arm.

A hinge device for the rotatable movement of a closing element, such as a door, a window, a shutter or the like, between a closing position and an opening position, includes a fixed element anchorable to a stationary support structure; a movable element anchorable to the closing element so that the movable element rotates around a first longitudinal axis between a first opening position and a second closing position; a plunger that is operatively coupled to the movable element by a coupling system configured so that along a first section of the sliding of a connecting shaft, the plunger does not slide, thereby allowing a free rotation of the movable element, and along a second section of the sliding of the connecting shaft, the plunger slides integrally joined with the connecting shaft, thereby controlling the rotation of the movable element.
