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.

In the roof window, each hinge (310) of the set of hinges comprises a frame hinge part (330), a sash hinge part (340), and a movement supporting assembly comprising guiding means including a linkage mechanism with at least two links (350, 360) providing connection between the sash hinge part and the frame hinge part. Each link is connected to at least one of the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part at a joint and connected to each other. A force transmission device (370) is provided for exerting lifting assistance to the movement of the sash (2) relative to the frame (1) during opening of the roof window in the mounted condition of the hinge (310). The force transmission device is provided with biasing means selected from the group comprising leaf springs, torsion springs and tension/compression springs. The force transmission device (370) may comprise a pick-up (371) biased by a leaf spring (372) connected to the frame hinge part (330) or the sash hinge part (340) by means of a fastening protrusion (375a) and/or a first abutment protrusion (375b) and/or a second abutment protrusion (375c).

In the roof window, each hinge (110) of the set of hinges comprises a frame hinge part (130), a sash hinge part (140), and a movement supporting assembly comprising guiding means including a linkage mechanism with at least two links (150, 160) providing connection between the sash hinge part and the frame hinge part. Each link is connected to at least one of the frame hinge part and the sash hinge part at a joint and connected to each other. The hinge (110) furthermore comprises a braking device (180) acting on at least one element of the movement supporting assembly over at least a part of the opening and/or closing movement. The braking device (180) comprises one or more friction elements.

A foldable tonneau system comprising: (a) a plurality of tonneau sections; (b) one or more hinges connecting two or more of the plurality of tonneau sections together, the one or more hinges each including: (i) a hinge housing connected to each of the two or more of the plurality of tonneau sections with each of the hinge housings being connected a different one of the plurality of tonneau sections, and (ii) a slide box located at least partially within and movably connected to each of the hinge housings; wherein each of the slide boxes are longitudinally movable relative to the hinge housings so that the one or more hinges are longitudinally extendable, and the hinge housings are rotationally movable relative to each other so that one of the plurality of tonneau sections is rotationally movable to a location above a second one of the plurality of tonneau sections.

A system for the rotary coupling of a closing element about a stationary support structure includes a first hinge device and at least one second hinge device. The first and the second hinge devices include a movable element having a hinge body and a fixed element having a pivot. The hinge body and the pivot are rotatably coupled to each other to rotate between the open and closed position of the closing element. The first and second hinge devices can be coupled to the same coupling element so that they cooperate to control the rotation of the closing element between the open and the closed position.

A rifle holder hinge mechanism comprising a rifle hook attached to a hinge block, the hinge block having a hinge block sleeve, with a hinge pin rotatable within the hinge block sleeve. A cam is provided connected to the hinge pin and configured to arrest rotation of the hinge pin, such that the hinge pin is rotatable from a first position to an approximately 90-degree second position. In some configurations, a retaining collar with a first detent and a second detent functions as the rotation limiting cam.
