A hinge for door leaves of furniture which comprises a fixed part which is connectable to a side wall of the item of furniture and a movable part which is connectable to a door leaf, which are mutually connected so as to oscillate by at least one articulation axis; and a movement control device for controlling a closing/opening movement of the hinge, in the form of a damping device for damping the closing movement of the hinge or of an elastic opening device for opening the hinge. The fixed part of the hinge has a flat housing body that extends along a plane parallel to or passing through the articulation axis, the body of the fixed part being shaped so as to be insertable and fixable in a flat seat which is provided in a thickness of the side wall of the item of furniture.

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.

In one example, a hinge assembly is disclosed, which may include a band torque engine having at least one bearing portion and a vertical torque engine coupled to the band torque engine. The vertical torque engine may have an opening. The hinge assembly may include a first shaft received through the at least one bearing portion and the opening. The first shaft may be rotatable along an axis with respect to the band torque engine and the vertical torque engine. The hinge assembly may include a display bracket including an adaptor portion to hold the first shaft such that the first shaft rotates along with the display bracket. The band torque engine may provide a frictional torque and the vertical torque engine may compressively engage with the first shaft to provide a vertical frictional torque during rotation of the display bracket.

Provided is a single-axis hinge with a damper mechanism and a catch mechanism for allowing either one of a first member and a second member to be attached to a portion having a small attachment space. The single-axis hinge (2) includes the first member (11) attached to the main body, and the second member (12) which is attached to the door and can rotate with respect to the first member (11) around a shaft (13) facing a vertical direction. The catch mechanism (6) has a spring (8) and gives rotational force in a closing direction to the door in the vicinity of a closed position. The damper mechanism (7) has a linear damper (9) and damps rotation of the door when the door is closed. The catch mechanism (6) and the damper mechanism (7) are disposed on either one of the first member (11) and the second member (12).

The invention relates to a furniture connecting fitting (10) having an attachment section (51, 53) for coupling to a cabinet body (110), wherein a kinematic arrangement (30) is coupled indirectly or directly to the attachment section (51, 53), wherein an assembly piece (80) is provided, which assembly piece has a fitting end (81) facing the attachment section (51, 53) and a furniture attachment end (81.3) facing away from the fitting end (81), wherein the attachment section (51, 53) has at least one locating element (55) which, in an assembly position, interacts with a mating element (85) of the assembly piece (80) to form a connection, which acts transversely to the furniture attachment end (81.3) in a form-fitting and detachable manner, wherein an actuating element (60) is provided, which can be moved between a release position and a blocking position, and wherein the actuating element (60) rests against a supporting section (52) to secure the assembly position in the blocking position. Such a furniture connecting fitting can be easily connected to and installed on a cabinet body even in a compact design

A switch hinge structure used for a charging door or a fuel door of a vehicle includes: a structure housing having an inner wall on which a first boss is disposed; a guide member concentrically installed in the structure housing, and having a groove track on an outer wall thereof; a first spring installed in the structure housing to provide thrust to the guide member in a direction toward an outside of the vehicle; a rotation member installed on an end of the structure housing, having an annular shape, and having a second boss on an interior circumference thereof; and a second spring providing torque to the guide member through the second boss. The first and second bosses are accommodated in the groove track, and guide movement of the guide member when the guide member moves out of the vehicle by an action of the first and second springs.

A furniture fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture panel, and a second fitting portion to be fixed to a movably-mounted furniture part, the second fitting portion being pivotally connected to the first fitting portion. The first fitting portion includes a mounting portion having a fastening device for mounting the mounting portion to the furniture panel, and the first fitting portion includes a coupling portion hingedly connected to the second fitting portion. The coupling portion is releasably connected to the mounting portion, and the mounting portion includes a housing. The coupling portion, when connected with the mounting portion, is received within the housing. The coupling portion is releasably connected to the mounting portion by a locking device, the locking device including a movably-mounted locking element for releasably locking the coupling portion, and the locking element is pressurized by a force storage member.

An actuating arm drive for driving a movably mounted furniture part of a furniture item, includes at least one arrangement consisting of a compression spring and at least one guiding device for guiding the compression spring. The at least one guiding device has an at least partly variable diameter in order to compensate for a radial clearance between the compression spring and the guiding device, taking into account the change in diameter of the compression spring when the compression spring is loaded.

Hinge for furniture including a fixed part housed in a seat of a horizontal plane of the furniture structure, and a moving part housed in a seat of a door of the furniture, to operate the door in opening and closing by a movement mechanism including at least one lever connecting a pin placed on the fixed part of the hinge and a pin placed on the moving part, wherein the closing force of the door is determined by a spring acting on a pusher that exerts a thrust force on a rocker arm, against which the lever of the door movement mechanism acts, wherein a unit are provided apt to vary the distance of the spring from a pivot pin of the rocker arm, in order to vary the lever arm and consequently the reaction force of the movement lever and therefore the closing force of the door.

Electrical connectors with a spring-biased protective cover in order to protect the electrical contacts of the connector from environmental influence. The device comprises a housing and a rotatable cover which can be moved from a closed position to an open position about a rotational axis, and a cam-controlled locking mechanism, which acts upon the cover in the closed position such that a force is exerted upon the cover in order to prevent an unwanted movement of the cover from the closed position when the cam-controlled locking mechanism is engaged.
