A glove box includes a cover embedded in a dashboard of a vehicle in a state in which a front of the cover is open, a housing having one open surface covered by the cover and selectively opening or closing the front of the cover through a preset rotational trajectory, transfer links each arranged between one of outer ends of the housing and a corresponding one of inner ends of the cover and providing a rotational trajectory of the housing, and an elastic member that corrects rotational forces of the transfer links. The transfer links includes first and second link parts each having a first end rotatably connected to an inner lower portion of the cover and a second end rotatably connected to an outer upper portion of the housing, and being spaced apart from each other with the same length and the same mounting angle.

The invention relates to a shutter for furniture, cabinets, shelf units and the like, having at least two shutter parts which are arranged next to one another, which shutter parts can be pivoted on the furniture carcass about an axis of rotation, can be transferred by means of an inner guide from a common plane into two mutually parallel planes and can then be slid over one another, wherein the first shutter part, which is furthest away from the axis of rotation, interacts with the second shutter part, which is closer to the axis of rotation, by way of at least two guide means arranged on inner sides thereof, and wherein an outward thrusting mechanism interacts with the first shutter part, wherein the outward thrusting mechanism can be moved from an inoperative position into an operative position.

An automatic door opening apparatus for a vehicle. Two and three hinge joint embodiments with motors at each hinge joint to control motion of the door opening apparatus relative to the vehicle at that hinge joint. The motors are individually programmable to customize the door opening apparatus and movement to different vehicles. The motors can be in alignment or out-of-alignment with the hinge joints, but in either case the motor controls motion of the hinged components at the associated hinge joint. When a motor is out-of-alignment with the hinge joint it controls, then pulley wheels and belts can be used to connect the motor to the hinge joint. The door opening apparatus can also include a floor track, and a door arm that connects the door to the floor track.

The present disclosure relates to a hinged door for utilizing space. The hinged door includes a hinge installed at one side of an opening of a structure; a door of which one end is connected to the hinge to open and close the opening in a hinged manner, and configured to be divided into a plurality of unit panels, each unit panel connected slidably to an adjacent unit panel in an opening/closing direction to stretch/retract in the opening/closing direction; and a connection link of which a first hinge axis of one end is connected to the structure and of which a second hinge axis of the other end is connected to the unit panel of a distal end, of the plurality of unit panels, so that a length of the door is stretched/retracted in the process of hinge opening/closing the door, thereby providing a hinged door for utilizing space.

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 combination door assembly includes a frame that may be coupled to a wall of a building. A door is hingedly coupled to the frame such that the door is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The door comprises a first half that is slidably coupled to a second half. The second half is positionable in an open position when the door is positioned in the closed position. Thus, the second half is configured to allow egress and entry to the building when the door is in the closed position.

The present disclosure concerns a closure system comprising a closure hinged to a fame by a hinge device that permits transition of the closure between open and closed positions by a combined linear movement and rotational displacement.
