A rear door assembly having a bracket, a rear door, a first movement mechanism and a second movement mechanism. The rear door has lateral side with a slot formed therein. The first movement mechanism is attached to a rearward area of a vehicle and is configured to move bracket and the rear door from a closed orientation covering a rear opening in the vehicle body structure to at least an intermediate orientation partially uncovering a rear opening of a vehicle. The bracket has a pair of support pins extending in that extend into the slot with the support pins being supported on rollers within the slot. The second movement mechanism is disposed within the rear door to move the rear door relative to the support pins of the bracket along the slot.

A vehicle door assembly includes a vehicle body structure, a first door, a second door and a support assembly. The vehicle body structure has a wall portion that defines a door opening. The support assembly is fixed to the wall portion proximate the door opening and has at least one pair of tracks with door support devices and a motorized door mechanism. The door support devices independently support the first door and the second door for movement along the at least one pair of tracks and the motorized door mechanism is configured to raise and lower the door support devices along with the first door and the second door from respective closed orientations covering corresponding sections of the door opening and open orientations exposing the corresponding sections of the door opening.

A furniture board includes an integrated or inserted hinge for guiding a movable furniture part. The furniture board has two side faces, an end face, and an end-face recess for receiving a hinge. The hinge includes a basic element, a linear guide and a pivot guide hinged thereto. The linear guide has forcibly guided movable elements, to which the pivot guide is hinged at a distance from the basic element. Two side faces of the furniture board lie one in a first and one in a second plane. The linear guide and the hinged connection of the pivot guide to the linear guide lie between the first and the second plane, at least in a closed state of the hinge.

A storage compartment with a front door that slides and rotates up and into the storage compartment with a structural divider between the side panels of the storage compartment that supports the shelves and door between the load bearing points at the side panels.

A rear door assembly having a bracket, a rear door, a first movement mechanism and a second movement mechanism. The rear door has a lateral side with a slot formed therein. The first movement mechanism is attached to a rearward area of a vehicle body structure and is configured to move the bracket and the rear door from a closed orientation covering a rear opening in the vehicle body structure to at least an intermediate orientation partially uncovering the rear opening. The bracket has a pair of support pins extending in that extend into the slot with the support pins being supported on rollers within the slot. The second movement mechanism is disposed within the rear door to move the rear door relative to the support pins of the bracket along the slot.

In short, the invention provides a storage compartment containing a front door panel that can easily be opened in one fluid motion, and closed in one fluid motion; with the flexibility of being wider than would usually be possible with a functionality of this kind. The front door swings up and under the upper panel of the storage compartment and, when size requires, vertical supports are placed within the storage compartment to support the upper, horizontal panel. Because these support panels lie in the way of the front panel's operating motion, material has been removed from the front panel and support panels to allow them to coincide with one another. The method of guiding this operation, through the use of rotating, sliding pivot points is also disclosed.

An anti-fall flip-up sliding mechanism includes a hinge having a first hinge plate affixed to a cabinet and a second hinge plate pivotally connected the first hinge plate, a buffering device including a first damper connected between the first hinge plate and the second hinge plate and a second damper mounted at the second hinge plate, and a sliding device affixed to a door panel and slidably coupled to the second hinge plate and meshed with the second damper such that when the door panel is biased relative to the first hinge plate and received to the top side of the cabinet, the first damper and the second damper produce a buffering effect to avoid the door panel from sudden falling.

A vehicle door assembly includes a vehicle body structure, a first door, a second door and a support assembly. The vehicle body structure has a wall portion that defines a door opening. The support assembly is fixed to the wall portion proximate the door opening and has at least one pair of tracks with door support devices and a motorized door mechanism. The door support devices independently support the first door and the second door for movement along the at least one pair of tracks and the motorized door mechanism is configured to raise and lower the door support devices along with the first door and the second door from respective closed orientations covering corresponding sections of the door opening and open orientations exposing the corresponding sections of the door opening.
