A sliding door system includes a door frame and a sliding door leaf that can move relative thereto. A catch is arranged either on the door frame or on the sliding door leaf, which can be coupled to a drive element of a feed device arranged on the respective other component. The feed device has a spring energy store and a cylinder-piston unit. The cylinder-piston unit has a piston that separates a displacement chamber from a compensation chamber. A passage cross-section between the displacement chamber and the compensation chamber can be changed in a load-dependent manner by a piston disk that can be applied at a piston end side. The tension force of the tension spring of a minimal effective length is between 1.5 and 3.5 times the total static friction force of the sliding door leaf and the resistance of the cylinder-piston unit at the maximum passage cross-section.

A decelerated hinge for pieces of furniture, comprising a fixed part which can be connected to the body of a piece of furniture and a moveable part, which is constituted by a box with side walls and a bottom and can be connected to a leaf of the piece of furniture, the fixed part and the moveable part being mutually articulated in an oscillating manner, there being further a deceleration device which comprises at least one linear decelerator and actuation elements for the linear decelerator; the at least one linear decelerator can be coupled to the actuation elements in the condition in which the deceleration device is disassembled from the hinge, the at least one linear decelerator and the actuation elements being accommodated in an accommodation body which can be coupled to the side walls and the bottom of the hinge box.

Damped door closer systems, door assemblies including the damped door closer systems, and methods of operating damped door closer systems. The damped door closer systems include a closer assembly and damping assembly connected to each other through a connecting arm.

The invention relates to a fluid damper for bodies that are movable relative to one another, said damper comprising a piston that is movably guided in a cylinder. At least one through opening is provided in the piston and/or between the piston and the cylinder for through-flowing fluid. Adjustment means are provided on the fluid damper for adjusting a limitation least of the maximum possible through-flow cross section for the fluid at least one passage opening. The piston is connected to a piston rod leading out of the cylinder. The adjustment means comprises detent connection which is pushed, in a radially non-twistable manner, onto the end of the piston rod located in the cylinder, and holds the piston in a desired position in the cylinder.

A fluid damper device may include a tube-shaped case including a bottom wall, a tube part extended from the bottom wall, and a partitioning protruded part protruded to an inner side from an inner peripheral face of the tube part, and a turning shaft including a body part facing a first end face of the partitioning protruded part, and a flange part which is enlarged from the body part and faces a second end face of the partitioning protruded part, a valve body supported by the body part, and fluid filled within the case. The first end face of the partitioning protruded part is provided with a first rib protruded toward the body part and extended in the axial line direction and a second rib protruded toward the body part and extended in the axial line direction at a position separated in a circumferential direction from the first rib.

A furniture drive can move a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The furniture drive includes a housing configured to be at least partially received within a recess of a furniture panel of the furniture carcass in a mounted condition, and an actuating arm arrangement for moving the movable furniture part. A cover is provided on the housing of the furniture drive, and the cover has at least one laterally protruding, substantially ring-shaped flange.

A damper for a storage compartment closure includes a bellows chamber and damper air passage structures each configured to provide an air volume intake during a bellows chamber extension that is less than an air volume expulsion during a bellows chamber compression. One damper air venting structure is a valve having a translatable lid including an aperture defined therethrough. A bellows chamber air pressure differential maintains the translatable lid in a closed configuration during the bellows chamber extension and in an open configuration during the bellows chamber compression. Another damper air venting structure is at least one bellows chamber vent including a cover configured whereby a bellows chamber extension incrementally transitions the cover to a closed configuration.

A hinge (10) for mounting a door on a piece of furniture or the like comprises a hinge arm (11) securable to a fixed part (12) of the piece of furniture, a box (14) securable to a door of the piece of furniture and connected to the hinge arm (11) by an articulation system (15) comprising a plurality of swinging connecting levers and spring means (27) acting in the closing direction of the hinge (10); the hinge (10) further comprises a decelerating device (29) comprising a housing body (30), supported and configured in such a way so as to be disposed at one of the front or side walls (11′, 11″) of the hinge arm (11), and a linearly movable actuating member (31) actuatable by one (18) of the swinging connecting levers of the articulation system (15) of the hinge.

A flap fitting for a piece of furniture includes a compound lever with a number of levers for guiding a wing of the piece of furniture, and a damping unit including at least one damper for damping the wing as it approaches a closed end position. The damping unit is arranged inside a housing of the wing fitting and includes an abutment against which one of the levers of the compound lever presses in order to damp the movement of the wing.

A damping device includes a housing, a cover assembly, a piston rod, a piston and an elastic member. The housing has an inner wall defining a chamber, and an opening communicated with the chamber. The chamber is filled with a damping medium. The cover assembly is arranged adjacent to the opening of the housing. The piston rod penetrates through the cover assembly. The piston is connected to the piston rod and movable relative to the housing. The piston includes an extension part and an expansion part located between the piston rod and the extension part. A width of the expansion part is greater than a width of the piston rod. The elastic member is arranged in the chamber of the housing, and configured to provide an elastic force to the piston.
