Disclosed is a door hinge limiting assembly for a motor vehicle comprising a pillar bracket, a door bracket, and a flexible check strap. The pillar bracket is configured to fit on the aft-side and interior-side of the door pillar and to complement the pillar's nonplanar profile. Rather than being secured to the door pillar, the pillar bracket is secured to the forward wall in the footwell region, with the aforesaid configuration producing an interference fit with the door pillar. The strap may be comprised of nylon webbing or similar material, and in some embodiments may comprise an elastic strap to promote convenient folding.

A sliding door guide, including a rail designed to be fastened against a vertical panel, the rail extending along a longitudinal axis, and a carriage designed to be fastened to the door, the carriage being provided with means for sliding along the rail, the sliding means including a stop opposing the movement of the carriage relative to the rail in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the stop can deform elastically under the effect of a force in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so as to allow a separation between the carriage and the rail.

A hold-open arrester arrangement has a low power consumption, and therefore a battery lifetime is long in the embodiments of the invention utilizing the battery. The hold-open arrester arrangement has a hold-open arrester arrangement having a hold-open function to hold a door open. The arrangement has also an electric release arrangement. The release arrangement is arranged to release the hold-open function in a fire alarm situation. The hold-open arrester arrangement comprises a sliding block and an arrester unit. The sliding block is connectable with a slide rail in a sliding manner and also pivotable connectable to an arm of a door closer. The arrester unit is connectable to the slide rail and has a body, said electric release arrangement, and said hold-open function with the sliding block.

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.

Improvements to a door frame and a door having an outer edge and an inner edge mounted for movement between an open position of the door withdrawn from the door frame and a closed position of the door received by the door frame, the improvements including bearing components carried by the door frame and the door proximate to the outer edge. One of the bearing components includes a member, and the other one of the bearing components includes a roller. The roller is brought into rolling contact directly against the member as the door is closed and remains in rolling contact directly against the member when the door is closed, positively lifting and supporting the door thereby preventing the door from sagging or binding on the door frame as the door is almost closed and when the door is in the closed position.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment, a door configured to open and close the storage compartment, and a door opening device configured to open the door. The door opening device includes a driving unit and a pushing member configured to be pushed out by the driving unit to thereby open the door. The pushing member includes a first rack configured to be driven by the driving unit in a first direction, and a second rack configured to be driven by the driving unit in the first direction. The first rack is slidably coupled to the second rack to thereby move relative to the second rack.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a drive device for a movable vehicle flap, including a flap part associated with the vehicle flap, a body part associated with a vehicle body, a first joint arrangement being arranged between the flap part and the body part, including a first knee lever and a second knee lever. The first knee lever and the second knee lever each have at least a first control arm and a second control arm. The drive device further include a second joint arrangement for opening and closing the vehicle flap in a normal operation, at least a first actuator for raising the vehicle flap to a pedestrian protection position. The first actuator has a first connection element and a second connection element. The first connection element of the first actuator is hingedly coupled to the first knee lever of the first joint arrangement. The second connection element of the first actuator is hingedly coupled to the second knee lever of the first joint arrangement.
