A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The furniture drive includes a carrier to be fixed to the furniture carcass, an actuating arm pivotally supported relative to the carrier about a pivoting axis between a closed position and a maximum opening position, and an adjustment device configured to adjust a position of the maximum opening position of the at least one actuating arm. The adjustment device includes a pivoting member configured to be moved in at least two pivoting positions relative to the actuating arm, and the pivoting member is configured to distance the actuating arm in the at least two pivoting positions to a different extent from an abutment arranged on the carrier when the actuating arm is arranged in the maximum opening position.

A foot operable door opener operates, without using one's hands, and without an electrical assist. The entrance cycle is initiated by stepping on a pedal. This force drives the pedal a ¼ turn, engaging a soft wheel to open the door. The pedal is hard linked to a crank arm which goes into a unidirectional crank shaft hub to turn the wheel. The downward pressure from the pedal pivots a ratcheted hinge connected to a bracketed spring-loaded wheel assembly to keep constant pressure to the ground. A gear box or multiple pumps of the pedal turns the wheel two or more 360 degrees rotations, opening the door to allow the entrant to pass until the foot pedal is dis-engaged. This action releases the ratcheting hinge mechanism, allowing the spring assisted wheel assemble to rotate to its original up position, releasing the wheel from the ground, allowing the door to close.

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.

A furniture hinge device capable of implementing wide range loading, comprising a housing and a fixing plate. A linkage assembly is provided between the housing and the fixing plate. A lever assembly and a power assembly are provided on the housing. The power assembly comprises a primary spring and a secondary spring. Positioning ends of the primary spring and the secondary spring are respectively mounted, from bottom to top, at a lower swinging end of the lever assembly. An adjustment assembly is provided on connection ends of the primary spring and the secondary spring. A fixing part of the adjustment assembly is fixedly mounted on a side plate of the housing. Adjustment parts of the adjustment assembly are respectively rotatably connected to the fixing part of the adjustment assembly and are connected to adjustment ends of the primary spring and the secondary spring.

A damper is provided which can more reliably prevent malfunction and breakdown and which enables efficiently performing repair and inspection operations. This damper, provided with a casing linked to a first object and a rotating part linked to a second object rotatably attached to the first object, damps rotation in either the direction closing or the direction opening the second object, and is provided with a sensor which detects prescribed change in the external environment in the damper or around the damper, and a control unit which externally communicates, over a communication network, information relating to the change in the external environment detected by the sensor, wherein the sensor is configured from at least one of: a rotation sensor for detecting the number of revolutions of the rotating part: a sound sensor for detecting sound during rotations of the rotating part; a temperature sensor for detecting temperature; and a torque sensor for detecting torque on the basis of friction during rotation of the rotating part.

Mechanism for the movement of a wing of furniture with a downward folding opening, designed to be placed on one side of the furniture item, the mechanism being contained in a box consisting of two half-shells, and including a hinge including a plurality of levers, articulated one in relation to the other, to the box and to the wing for the movement of the latter, one of the levers being able to slide in a track formed in the box, another of the levers being able to rotate around a fulcrum point provided on the box and acting with one of its ends on the front side of a linear slider, the rear side of which acts on one end of a rocker lever, whose other end acts on.

A hinge comprising: a first hinge member (110) comprising a cylinder barrel (117) having a longitudinal direction (118); a second hinge member (111) pivotably mounted on the first hinge member (110); and a dashpot interposed between said hinge members (110, 111) and configured for damping a closing movement of said closure member. The dashpot comprises a closed cylinder cavity formed within the cylinder barrel (117); a damper shaft (124) which extends into the cylinder cavity and is connected to the second hinge member (111); and a piston (147) within said cylinder cavity. The hinge members (110, 111) are made of a synthetic material and the damper shaft (124) is made of metal.

A dashpot comprising: a closed cylinder cavity and a damper shaft (24) which are rotatable with respect to one another; a piston (47) which is slideable between two extreme positions; and a motion converting mechanism to convert the relative rotation between the cylinder barrel (17) and the damper shaft (24) into a sliding motion of the piston (47). The motion converting mechanism comprises two co-operating screw threads, one (58) being provided on an outer wall of the piston (47) and the other one being provided on an inner wall of the cylinder barrel (17) or on an inner wall of a plastic tubular element fixed to the cylinder barrel. By providing the screw thread (58) on the outside of the piston (47), the diameter of the screw thread (58) is increased thereby increasing its lead and thus causing a higher volume of hydraulic fluid to be displaced during operation of the dashpot.
