PUSH-TO-OPEN, SOFT CLOSE DRAWER SLIDE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE
A drawer slide apparatus mounted to a drawer slide assembly for moving a drawer slidingly within a cabinet provides push-to-open and soft close functionality while further providing a depth and alignment adjustment of the drawer relative to the cabinet carcass. The apparatus comprises a housing including a soft close track, a damper, and a carriage slidable within the soft close track. A guide block comprising a set of channels within a stationary part and a movable part for providing the depth and alignment adjustment. A pin, slidable within the carriage, has a first end engaged with the soft close track and a second end simultaneously engaged with the guide block provides the soft close and push-to-open functionalities.
STERILIZING APPARATUS FOR INPUT DEVICES OF COMPUTERS
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sterilization apparatus. The sterilization apparatus includes a housing. A drawer is slidably secured to the housing and adapted to receive input devices. The drawer is configured to operate between a retracted position, an intermediate position and an extended position. A plurality of ultraviolet (UV) lights is mounted within the housing and configured to emit UV radiation for a pre-determined time for sterilizing the input devices. A closure member is movably coupled to the housing. The closure member is operated between an open position and a closed position by manually applying force on the closure member, thereby causing the closure member to be pushed down by a distance within the housing. The closure member pushed down within the housing collectively operates a hinge mechanism, a cam and lever mechanism and a rotary mechanism, thereby configuring the closure member to the open and position positions.
Soft close print paper drawer
A printer paper drawer door closing mechanism includes a fixed chassis defining a chassis plane, a lever arm joined to the chassis and pivotable about a lever arm pivot axis from a first lever arm limit state to a second lever arm limit state. A first bearing surface extends from the lever arm at a first lever arm distance and a second bearing surface extending from the lever arm at a second lever arm distance. The first bearing surface is at a bearing surface distance from the second bearing surface. An energy storage element is integrated with the lever arm. A cam plate is translatable toward and away from the lever arm and pivotable about a cam plate pivot axis from a first cam limit state to a second cam limit state. The cam plate includes a first cam surface extending from the cam plate and a second cam surface extending from the cam plate, the first cam surface being oriented at a positive angle relative to the copier chassis plane and co-planar with the first bearing surface, the second cam surface is oriented at a negative angle relative to the copier chassis plane and co-planar with the second bearing surface. The distance separating the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface is substantially equal to the distance separating a distal end of the first cam surface and a proximal end of the second cam surface.

Movement assembly
The invention relates to a movement assemblage, in particular for a drawer, a sliding door, a hinged door, a hatch, or a similar movable furniture part, having a push-out assemblage; the push-out assemblage comprising a guide element (90) on which an energy reservoir (80) acts; the guide element (90) being displaceable from a parked position into an ejection position; and a switching piece (99), which is displaceable with respect to the guide element (90), being attached to the guide element (90). For improved movement guidance, provision is made according to the present invention that the switching piece (99) comprises a guide element (99.4) that is guided in a guide track (74) of the fitting.
Rack system and slide rail mechanism thereof
A slide rail mechanism includes a rail, a movable member, a buffer member, and an elastic member. The movable member can be displaced with respect to the rail. The buffer member is provided on one of the rail and the movable member and can produce a buffering effect in response to the movable member being displaced in a certain direction. The rail includes a longitudinal wall and a supporting portion connected to the longitudinal wall. The longitudinal wall and the supporting portion jointly define a supporting path.
Movement device for drawers
The invention relates to a movement device for drawers, including an extending mechanism. A blocking element can be moved from a retracted position into an open position or a partially open position by the extending mechanism, and the extending mechanism is held in the retracted position by an overstroke mechanism. The overstroke mechanism has a switching element which is held on a stop by a blocking element in the retracted position and can be lifted from the stop when an overstroke is applied onto the switching element. An improved switching behavior can be achieved in that the blocking element is offset transversely to the overstroke direction when the overstroke is applied.

Drive device for a movable furniture part
A drive device for a movable furniture part, in particular a drawer, includes a housing, an ejection device which is arranged in the housing for ejecting the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position, and a retraction device which is arranged in the same housing for retracting the movable furniture part out of an open position into the closed position. The drive device has a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, only the retraction device is operative while opening and closing the movable furniture part, and in the second operating mode, both the ejection device and the retraction device are operative while opening and closing the movable furniture part.
