A furniture fitting for movably supporting a furniture part on a furniture carcass, includes a first component and a second component. The two components are connected to each other via at least one pivot bearing having a bearing axis, and the first component includes a first wall. The at least one pivot bearing includes at least one capillary disc having a second wall, and the second wall is spaced from the first wall of the first component by a, preferably annular, gap having a gap width. The gap width at least partially decreases radially in a direction of the bearing axis, so that a lubricant filled into the gap can be transferred radially in a direction towards the bearing axis and/or along the bearing axis by a capillary force.

A carriage (10) provided with one or more pairs of wheels (14) for moving sliding door (42) is arranged in a sliding seat (44) of an extruded profile (28), made of aluminium or other suitable material and fixed to a wall (48) or ceiling (54). The extruded profile in which the carriage (10) is arranged comprises opposite side walls (30, 32), oriented orthogonally with respect to the upper base (34) and with respect to the lower base (36) of said profile; on said lower base a central slot (38) extending longitudinally is made for the passage of a stem (40) projecting downwards in the direction of the door (42) to which it is connected. The carriage (10) comprises a support body (12) made of plastic, metal or other suitable material, constituting the load-bearing frame of said carriage to which the pairs of wheels (14) are connected, with rivets (16); each of the wheels is paired with an elastic element (20) placed in a recess (24) made along the opposite sides of the support body (12).

A furniture fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture part, in particular a furniture flap, on a furniture panel, includes a main body, a rotary lever, and a bearing pin. The bearing pin is connected to the main body and/or to at least one base lever, and the rotary lever has a hole and the bearing pin projects through the hole. The rotary lever has, in at least one region surrounding the hole, a widened portion which extends at least in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bearing pin.

A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass the furniture drive includes a housing having a first housing wall to be fixed to the furniture carcass, and a second housing wall at least partially spaced from the first housing wall. At least the first housing wall includes a guide device for guiding a fastener. At least one supporting body is configured so as to be separate from the guide device for guiding the fastener, at least partially surrounds the guide device, and is firmly connected to the first housing wall as well as to the second housing wall so that a movement of the second housing wall relative to the first housing wall is restrained.

The extruded profile in which the carriage (10) is arranged comprises opposite side walls (30, 32), oriented orthogonally with respect to the upper base (34) and with respect to the lower base (36) of said profile; on said lower base a central slot (38) extending longitudinally is made for the passage of a stem (40) projecting downwards in the direction of the door (42) to which it is connected. The carriage (10) comprises a support body (12) made of plastic, metal or other suitable material, constituting the load-bearing frame of said carriage to which the pairs of wheels (14) are connected, with rivets (16); each of the wheels is paired with an elastic element (20) placed in a recess (24) made along the opposite sides of the support body (12).

A riveting apparatus (1) is for the application and riveting a rivet (6) to a component (2, 4) of an article (1a, 1b) being processed in a work region (96) of the apparatus. The riveting apparatus includes a rivet insertion device (30) for the insertion of the rivet into the component and a riveting device (40) for the riveting of the rivet.

A smart entryway includes an entrance door assembly configured to allow users (e.g., residents) to enter and exit a first space (e.g., a residence) and a storage assembly configured to allow secondary users (e.g., deliverymen) in a second space (e.g., a porch) to store items for later retrieval by the users. A portion of the storage assembly may be optionally refrigerated or heated. A security assembly is provided between the entrance door assembly and the storage assembly. The security assembly includes an authentication device to authenticate users and secondary users and a locking device to unlock the storage assembly and the entrance door assembly upon authentication. The locking device is provided behind the authentication device and concealed from the second space. When a first door of the storage assembly accessible from the first space is opened, a second door of the storage assembly accessible from the second space is locked.

An automotive hinge assembly adapted to facilitate motion of a closure panel relative to a fixed body structure comprises a door component constructed from two press formed angle brackets structurally connected via a pivot pin and adapted to be mounted to a vehicle closure panel, a body component constructed from two press formed angle brackets structurally connected via a simple formed feature and the pivot pin and adapted to be mounted to a vehicle body structure, such that the pivot pin structurally assembles the two hinge components, facilitates relative rotary motion between them and structurally connects the multiple press formed angle brackets so that the resulting assembly achieves a much higher material efficiency than the prior art with an associated significant cost reduction.

A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass the furniture drive includes a housing having a first housing wall to be fixed to the furniture carcass, and a second housing wall which is at least partially spaced from the first housing wall. At least the first housing wall includes at least one guide device for guiding a fastening means. At least one supporting body is configured so as to be separate from the at least one guide device for guiding the fastening means, at least partially surrounds the at least one guide device, and is firmly connected to the first housing wall as well as to the second housing wall so that a movement of the second housing wall relative to the first housing wall is restrained.
