A counterbalance assembly, including a spring pack, including a rod including a first end and a second end, a connector connected to the first end, an energy storage device arranged between the first end and the second end, a pivot plate arranged on the rod between the second end and the energy storage device, and a spacer removably arranged on the rod between the second end and the pivot plate, the spacer operatively arranged to maintain the energy storage device in a first compressed state having a first compression force.

A hinge having a hinge cup, an articulation mechanism and a hinge arm, wherein the hinge cup is connected to the hinge arm in a pivotable manner via the articulation mechanism. The articulation mechanism includes first and second articulated levers attached to the hinge cup and to the hinge arm. The first articulated lever has a first end connected to the hinge cup in a pivotable manner via a first bearing element and has a second end connected to the hinge arm in a pivotable manner via a second bearing element. The second articulated lever has a first end connected to the hinge cup in a pivotable manner via a fourth bearing element and has a second element connected to the hinge arm in a pivotable manner via a third bearing element.

A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably-supported relative to a furniture carcass includes a carrier configured to be fixed within or to a sidewall of the furniture carcass, and the carrier has a front face and a longitudinal side protruding substantially at a right angle from the front face. A pivotally supported actuating arm is provided for moving the movable furniture part, and fastening device can fasten a furniture panel of the furniture carcass. The furniture panel extends substantially horizontally in a mounted position, and a fastening device includes a movably-supported locking element for fastening the furniture panel. The locking element is configured to be accessible for a manual or for a tool-assisted actuation from a longitudinal side of the carrier, and the longitudinal side of the carrier faces towards the outside.

A hinge for doors of domestic appliances, comprising a first element and a second element pivoted to each other and movable relative to each other in tilting fashion, the first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an electrical household appliance, for making the door movable with respect to the frame between a closed position and an open position, a lever for connection between the first and the second closing elements, an elastic element connected to the lever and designed to generate with its own deformation a force of elastic adjustment designed to compensate at least partially the weight force of the door during the opening or closing of the door, means for adjusting the intensity of the elastic reaction force.

Mechanism for moving a furniture door, apt to be placed on a lateral side of the piece of furniture and to move a door by a system of levers, the mechanism comprising a spring unit acting on the system of levers to balance the weight force of the door during opening, wherein the spring unit is pivotally mounted and acts directly on a main or thrust lever, mounted rotating around an axis, by a pin housed in a first cam slot formed in the lever and in a second cam slot placed in a fixed position with respect to the lateral side of the piece of furniture.

A telescopic bracket has a retracted state and an extended state. The telescopic bracket comprises a fixed assembly, a moving member, and a spring. The moving member is movably coupled to the fixed assembly to move along an axial direction of the fixed assembly, causing the telescopic bracket to switch between the retracted state and the extended state. The spring is disposed between the fixed assembly and the moving member to provide an elastic restoring force to the moving member, and the cross section of the spring could be a trapezoidal shape, a rectangular shape, a square shape, a parallelogram shape, or an unequal quadrilateral shape. An open-up device using the telescopic bracket is also provided.

A furniture board with an integrated or inserted flap fitting includes a lever mechanism having a plurality of levers guiding a flap of a furniture item. The flap fitting has a spring unit acting on at least one lever of the lever mechanism via an adjustable preload. The lever mechanism, in a closed position of the guided flap, moves into a front-side opening of the flap fitting and a front-side opening of the furniture board. The preload of the spring unit and/or the transmission ratio between the spring unit and the lever mechanism is adjustable via an adjusting element having a tool receptacle. The tool receptacle is accessible through a front-side opening in the furniture board and/or the flap fitting.

A screen door for a cooling package of a vehicle that includes proximal and distal frame posts, screen surface, torsion bar, stationary support, torsion bracket and fastener. The proximal frame post is hingedly coupled to the cooling package, and the distal frame post can be hingedly coupled to a secondary door. Proximal end of torsion bar is fixedly attached to proximal frame post, and distal end is moveable relative to the distal frame post. Stationary support is fixedly attached to distal frame post. Torsion bracket is fixedly attached to distal end of torsion bar, and is moveable relative to stationary support. Fastener maintains torsion bracket in a desired position relative to stationary support. Movement of torsion bracket relative to stationary support applies an adjustable torsion on torsion bar, and fastener maintains the adjustable torsion. An adjustment member can be attached to fastener between torsion bracket and stationary support.
