A continuous hinge includes first and second leaves, an upper pivot, and a lower pivot. The first leaf is configured to secure to a first panel and the second leaf is configured to secure to a second panel. The first and second leaves each have an uppermost end adjacent a top end of the respective panel and a lowermost end adjacent a bottom end of the respective panel. The upper pivot is formed between the first and second leaves adjacent the uppermost ends thereof. The lower pivot is formed between the first and second leaves adjacent the lowermost ends thereof. The first and second leaves are configured to pivot relative to one another between a closed position in which the first and second panels are aligned on edges with one another and an open position in which the first and second panels are out of alignment with one another.

An articulated lever for a device for moving a furniture part received on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture, which has a spacer member in the form of a first and a second embossing. The first embossing is present on a first side of the first articulated lever, and the second embossing is present on a second side of the first articulated lever. The first and the second side of the first articulated lever are present opposite and spaced from one another. The first and the second embossing are present opposite one another. The first embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about a center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the first side. The second embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about the center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the second side.

A window stay, comprising: a frame plate; at least one arm coupled to the frame plate by a frame plate pivot; and a bearing plate engaged with the frame plate, the bearing plate and the frame plate together configured to be mounted to a window frame; wherein the bearing plate comprises a reinforcing insert for spreading a load applied through at least part of the at least one arm to the bearing plate; wherein the reinforcing insert is made of a material with more strength and/or rigidity than the material of the bearing plate. A window stay comprising: a frame plate; at least one arm coupled to the frame plate by a frame plate pivot; and a bearing plate engaged with the frame plate, the bearing plate and the frame plate together configured to be mounted to a window frame having a frame channel; wherein the bearing plate comprises a support member for supporting the bearing plate above the frame channel; wherein the support member is a projection that extends from beneath the bearing plate.

A garage door carrier system carries an overhead garage door between a closed position blocking entry of a vehicle into a garage, and an open position allowing entry of the vehicle into the garage. The garage door is in rolling engagement with a track that guides the garage door. A lever, rotating about a pivot, has a counterweight at a first end and is rotatably connected to the garage door at a second opposite load end. The counterweight provides in-force at the first end that translates as out-force at the load end as the lever rotates about the pivot to carry the garage door between the closed position and the open position.

An adjustable hinge includes a first body, a second body, and an adjustment mechanism. The first body and the second body are each configured to secure to a mounting edge of a door panel. The first and second bodies are pivotally coupled to each other. The adjustable hinge has a closed position in which the first body and the second body are configured to support the first and second door panels such that an inside face of each door panel is coplanar with the other and an open position in which the inside faces are opposed to one another. The adjustment mechanism is disposed in the first body or the second body and is configured to increase or decrease a gap defined between the mounting edge of the first door panel and the mounting edge of the second door panel when the adjustable hinge is in the closed position.
