Shock-absorbing braking device for sliding panels and doors
A shock-absorbing braking device (10) for sliding doors (88) or for wardrobe panels is combined with a carriage (12) provided with rollers (14) sliding in an extruded profile (16), with a bottom base provided with a longitudinally extending slot (18) from which a pin or bolt (20) protrudes suitable to connect said carriage (12) to the sliding door or panel (88). The device comprises a containment shell (24), formed of opposite and complementary elements (28), in which at least one helical spring (26) and a shock-absorbing piston (30) acting in conjunction with a shaped cam (56) are placed, provided with an appendage forming a traction hook (62) suitable to abut with an activator (78) extending in said extruded profile (16). The shaped cam (56) is provided on opposite sides with a pin (64), destined to slide along a mixtilinear cavity (66, 66′) extending longitudinally along the inner face of each of the elements (28) forming the containment shell (24).
Slow Close Mechanism for Sliding Applications
A sliding door includes a frame and a slow close assembly. The frame is positioned along at least a portion of the sliding door and includes a protrusion configured to slide along with the sliding door. The slow close assembly is repositionable between an outward position and a compressed position. The slow close assembly includes a slow close mechanism, a spring, and a soft close latch. The slow close mechanism is laterally positioned within the slow close assembly. The spring is positioned at an end of the slow close assembly and provides an outward force onto the slow close assembly in an outward direction substantially perpendicular to the lateral direction. The soft close latch is configured to engage the protrusion as the protrusion slides along with the sliding door. The spring biases the slow close assembly into the outward position when the latch is not interfaced with the protrusion.
Device for controlling the opening/closing of door wings of a piece of furniture and the like
A device for controlling the opening/closing of a door wing of a piece of furniture having a body having at least a sidewall and a back and defining an inner cavity, includes a casing mountable on the furniture body; an inextensible cable, associable at a first end with the door wing and extending with respect to the casing between a retracted position of the door wing in a closed position, and an extracted position of the door wing in an opened position, tilted downwards with respect to the body of the piece of furniture; and an elastic displacement connected to the cable and movable with respect to the casing. The casing is arranged outside the back, with a first guide provided for guiding the cable along the sidewall, and a second guide provided for perpendicularly deviating the cable with respect to the first guide.
SLIDING-DOOR SYSTEM
A sliding door system includes a door frame and a sliding door leaf that can move relative thereto. A catch is arranged either on the door frame or on the sliding door leaf, which can be coupled to a drive element of a feed device arranged on the respective other component. The feed device has a spring energy store and a cylinder-piston unit. The cylinder-piston unit has a piston that separates a displacement chamber from a compensation chamber. A passage cross-section between the displacement chamber and the compensation chamber can be changed in a load-dependent manner by a piston disk that can be applied at a piston end side. The tension force of the tension spring of a minimal effective length is between 1.5 and 3.5 times the total static friction force of the sliding door leaf and the resistance of the cylinder-piston unit at the maximum passage cross-section.
POCKET DOOR
A modular wall system with an integrated pocket door includes a frame defining a wall plane and a doorway. The system also includes one or more aesthetic panels connected to at least a portion of the frame so as to cover at least a portion of the wall frame. Additionally, the system includes a support member extending above the doorway and across at least a portion of the wall plane. The support member includes an integrated track that is accessible through one or more access windows integrated into the support member. The system includes a slideable pocket door integrated into the track such that when closed, the pocket door blocks the doorway, and when open, the pocket door is at least partially enclosed behind the one or more aesthetic panels.
Anti-jumping upper wheel device with double dampers
An anti-jumping upper wheel device with double dampers comprises of an anti-jumping upper wheel assembly with double damper (10) being comprised of an upper wheel plate (11), an upper wheel (12), an upper wheel cover (13) and double dampers (14) and a pulling unit (20); wherein, an anti-jumping roller (17) is mounted to the upper wheel cover (13); the pulling unit (20) is a double-plate pulling unit which is comprised of a baseplate of pulling unit (21) and a pillar plate of pulling unit (22) mounted above it; a pulling pillar (221) is fixed vertically on the pillar plate of pulling unit (22); wherein, connecting elastic units (23, 24) are overlapped and connected in parallel to three branch plates (2131, 2132, 2133, 2141, 2142, 2143) mounted on longitudinal direction in parallel of both ends on longitudinal direction of the baseplate of pulling unit (21).
SOFT SELF-CLOSE DOOR DAMPER
A door damper assembly that includes a housing, a damper that includes a fixed end and a movable end disposed within the housing, a carriage assembly that is movable within the housing between a closed position and an open position, a claw assembly pivotably attached to the carriage assembly, and a spring positioned to bias the carriage assembly to the closed position. The movable end of the damper is secured to the carriage assembly. The claw assembly is movable with the carriage assembly between the closed position and the open position. The claw assembly is movable relative to the carriage assembly between a non-toggle position and a toggle position. The claw assembly includes a pin receiving space defined therein that defines a claw axis that is generally vertical when the claw is in the non-toggle position and not vertical when the claw assembly is in the toggle position.
ACTUATOR RATE CONTROL WITH ENERGY ABSORBING PRESSURE RELIEF SYSTEM
An actuator includes a piston assembly movably disposed within an assembly housing having a fixedly supported end and an opposing end that receives a movable piston assembly. The piston assembly includes a piston rod and an attached piston head having a fixed orifice as well as an orifice with a check valve to create rate control of the assembly. Hydraulic fluid is caused to move through the axially movable piston head based on compressive and tensile loads imparted to the assembly. A plurality of pre-loaded springs are configured to selectively provide pressure relief in the event the orifices of the piston become clogged, wherein the plurality of pre-loaded springs, such as disc springs, further provide an energy absorbing function of the assembly based on loading conditions.
Drive device for a movable furniture part
A drive device for a movable furniture part includes a lockable push-out device for pushing the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position. The push-out device can be unlocked by virtue of the movable furniture part being pushed into an excess-pressure position located behind the closed position, as seen in the closing direction. An excess-pressure region is located between the closed position and an excess-pressure position. The drive device also has a damping device for damping the closing movement of the movable furniture part. The damping device has displacement-dependent damping, in which the damping force in a main damping region, located in front of the closed position—as seen in the opening direction, is higher than in the excess-pressure region.
