FURNITURE DRIVE
A furniture drive including a housing to be arranged on a furniture panel, and an actuating arm assembly for moving the movable furniture part, and the actuating arm assembly includes an actuating arm movably-supported relative to the housing to be fixed to the movable furniture part. The actuating arm assembly is movable between a first relative position and a second relative position, and includes actuating arms pivotable relative to one another. A pivotal movement of the actuating arm assembly from the second relative position toward the first relative position can be blocked by a releasable blocking device including a movably supported blocking element movable between a blocking position and an unblocking position. A blocking element of the blocking device is supported on one of the actuating arms and includes an abutment bearing against a counter-abutment of the other of the actuating arms in the blocking position.
FURNITURE DRIVE FOR MOVING A FURNITURE PART THAT IS MOUNTED MOVABLY RELATIVE TO A FURNITURE BODY
A furniture drive for moving a furniture part includes a housing to be located on or in a furniture panel, and an actuating arm mounted movably relative to the housing and on which the movable furniture part can be fastened, and the housing has an end face through which the actuating arm protrudes in a relative position. A spring device can exert a force onto the actuating arm, an adjusting device can adjust the force that can be exerted onto the actuating arm by the spring device, and a display device can display the force adjustment carried out by the adjusting device. The display device is formed separately from the adjusting device and can be read in an installed position of the furniture drive, in which position the housing is located completely, except for the end face, in the furniture panel of the furniture body.
GLOVE BOX
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.
GLOVE BOX
A glove box includes a cover that is mounted in a dashboard of a vehicle in a state in which a front surface of the cover is open, a housing accommodated in a state in which an open surface thereof is covered by the cover and configured for selectively opening or closing the open front surface of the cover along a preset rotational trajectory, a plurality of transfer links that are arranged between first and second outer ends of the housing and first and second inner ends of the cover and transfer the housing along the preset rotational trajectory, and a damper that is connected between the cover and the transfer links and corrects a rotational force of the housing through length expansion/contraction.
HINGE FOR DOORS OF ELECTRICAL HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Described is a hinge for doors of electrical household appliances, including 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, the lever being pivoted on the first element, an elastic element operatively connected to the lever to oppose the weight force of the door during its opening.
Counterbalance and method of making the same
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.
FURNITURE FITTING
A furniture fitting is pivotable relative to a furniture carcass, and includes a housing to be arranged on or in a furniture panel of a furniture carcass, and a positioning arm mounted to be movable relative to the housing. The positioning arm is movable between a first maximum position, corresponding to a closed position of the movably mounted furniture part, and a second maximum position, corresponding to a maximum open position of the movably mounted furniture part. The housing has a front side and a fastening interface via which the movable furniture part is fastenable on the positioning arm. The fastening interface has a contact surface for contacting the movably mounted furniture part. The contact surface is arranged, in the first maximum position, in a plane of the front side of the housing and, in the second maximum position, in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the front side.
Hinge for doors
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.
Hinge assembly with slow close and/or slow open characteristics
A hinge assembly for an associated appliance door includes an arm and a lever pivotally connected to the arm. The lever and arm are adapted to pivot relative to each other about a main pivot axis between a first position that corresponds to a closed position of the associated appliance door and a second position that corresponds to an opened position of the associated appliance door. A slide link is located adjacent the lever. A damper engagement structure is connected to the slide link. A biasing system urges the arm and lever toward the first position. A damper system includes a damper that damps pivoting movement between the arm and the lever for at least part of the movement between the arm and the lever when the arm and lever pivot relative to each other from the first position toward the second position.
Eartips for coupling via wireform attachment mechanisms
Embodiments describe an eartip including an eartip body having an attachment end and an interfacing end opposite from the attachment end. The eartip body can include an inner eartip body having a sidewall extending between the interfacing end and the attachment end, the sidewall defining a channel and having a first thickness near the attachment end and a second thickness different from the first thickness at the interfacing end. The eartip can also include an attachment structure coupled to the inner eartip body at the attachment end, the attachment structure having an inner surface and an outer surface. The attachment structure can include an upper region interfacing with the sidewall and defining discrete through-holes, a lower region below the upper region where the inner surface defines a plurality of recesses positioned around the lower region, and a mesh extending across the channel and into the upper region.
