A hinge for cold rooms or glass shutters includes a stationary support structure and a shutter movable between an open position and a closed position. The hinge includes a hinge body with a working chamber; a pivot coupled with the hinge body; a cam element unitary with the pivot; a plunger element sliding in the working chamber, the plunger element having a slider with an operative face interacting with the cam element; a counteracting elastic member acting on the plunger element to move it between a position proximal to the bottom wall of the working chamber and a position distal therefrom. The hinge body has a substantially plate-like shape. The cam element includes an elongated appendix extending from the pivot to come in contact engagement with the operative face of the slider. The pivot is placed at one of the side walls of the working chamber.

A hinge having a first hinge part and a second hinge part. The second hinge part has a hinge pin to which the first hinge part is connected for movement relative to the second hinge part about a hinge axis between a closed position. An over-close mechanism is provided comprising a catch member on the second hinge part arranged to co-operate with the first hinge part to urge the first hinge part towards the closed position during closing movement of the first hinge part and to retain the first hinge part arrange to co-operate with the hinge pin to urge the first hinge part towards the closed position during closing movement. A soft-close mechanism is provided comprising a damper member on the first hinge part arranged to co-operate with the hinge pin to provide a braking force in the direction of closing.

A door drive mechanism includes a main drive and an auxiliary drive.

In this connection it is provided that the components of the main drive and of the auxiliary drive to be mounted on the door leaf side are borne in or on a common and/or continuous housing mechanism and/or bearing framework mechanism and/or mounting plate mechanism to be mounted on the door leaf side and/or are covered by a common and/or continuous cover to be mounted on the door leaf side.

An actuating apparatus (1) for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle, having a locking and/or arresting kinematics that cooperate with the cover. The actuating apparatus includes a housing (2) and an actuating part (3) received in the housing (2) and movably supported relative to the housing (2). The actuating part (3) cooperates with the cover in such a way that the actuating part (3) performs a movement relative to the housing (2) between a first position and a second position upon a movement of the cover between a closed position and an open position, wherein, in the first position, the actuating part (3) is in a locked state. The actuating apparatus (1) further includes an elastically deformable spring system (4) associated with the actuating part (3), in particular having a progressive spring characteristic.

A hinge for the controlled rotatable movement of a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure includes a pivot, a hinge body and a hydraulic damping cylinder. The pivot has a first axis and includes a cam, and the hinge body is engaged to the pivot so as to be rotatably coupled to each other around the first axis. The hydraulic damping cylinder includes a jacket and a plunger element, and the jacket defines a second axis, houses a working fluid and is divided into a first and a second variable volume compartment in fluid communication with each other. The plunger has a first and a second end respectively inserted into the first and second variable volume compartment to slide sealingly in the jacket. The hinge body includes a working chamber defining a third axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis and contains an elastic counteracting member.
