A slide member having a slide surface coated with a lacquer including a resin. The lacquer is in turn at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating. The lipophilic composition coating provides a slide layer on the slide member with low friction.

A sliding door and floor guide assembly including a floor guide and at least one door panel including a pin guide assembly, and a guide shoe. The guide shoe has a curved bottom surface and the rail has a corresponding curved upper surface so that the two surfaces can engage one another. The pin guide assembly includes a spring that exerts a downward force to keep the guide shoe and rail in contact with one another. The guide shoe also includes at least one beveled surface adjacent the region where the guide shoe and rail engage. This beveled surface causes debris on the rail to be moved away from the rail when the door is opened or closed so that the debris does not interfere with the operation of the sliding door.

A hinge device includes a first hinge body 10, a second hinge body 20 and a link mechanism 6. The link mechanism includes a moving link 30 having a rear end rotatably connected to the first hinge body and a front end rotatably connected to the second hinge body, a front connecting link 50 having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a front end portion of the first hinge body and an intermediate portion rotatably connected to an intermediate portion of the moving link, and a supporting link having one end rotatably connected to a distal end of the front connecting link and the other end rotatably connected to the second hinge body. The front connecting link has a pair of resin spacers 57 interposed between the pair of side walls 11 of the first hinge body 10 and the pair of side walls 31 of the moving link.

A slide member having a slide surface coated with a lacquer comprising a resin. The lacquer is in turn at least partly coated with a lipophilic composition coating. The lipophilic composition coating provides a slide layer on the slide member with low friction.

A centering device for centering a sliding door or window, including a rail; a moving member configured to be movable along the rail; and a plurality of centering rollers fixed to one of the rail and the moving member and spaced along a length thereof corresponding to a direction of movement of the door or window along the rail, the centering rollers abutting against an other of the rail and the moving member to laterally center the moving member with respect to the rail. The centering device can be implemented in a sill, header and jamb.

The present invention relates to a device capable of guiding a stable rotational actuation between a first support bracket fixedly connected to a supporting frame side of a door frame and a second support bracket fixedly connected to the door side in a gear hinge unit constituting a rotating door, specifically, in a door hinge in which a gear hinge unit is provided between the first support bracket fixedly connected to the support frame side of the door frame and the second support bracket fixedly connected to the door side, by minimizing the compressive stress generated in the lower gear hinge unit under a neutral axis of the door and the tensile stress generated in the upper gear hinge unit above the neutral axis of the door by the rotational moment applied to the gear hinge unit due to the load of the door, it is possible not only to secure and maintain the correct opening/closing performance of the door, but also to minimize damage to parts caused by friction or friction noise in the door hinge.

A carrier plate is attached to a guide rail so as to move on the guide rail along the extending direction. An erected portion includes a first surface and a second surface which extend in an extending direction. A slit is formed by a first edge portion which is disposed on a side of the first surface of the erected portion and a second edge portion which is disposed on a side of the second surface of the erected portion. A cutout portion which includes an opening facing the erected portion is provided in at least one of the first edge portion and the second edge portion. The cutout portion includes a space portion which allows grease to be stored therein. The grease stored in the cutout portion is applied to the erected portion which slides in the slit when the carrier plate moves on the guide rail.

A carrier for a vehicle window lifter configured to be connected to a window pane and adjusted by the vehicle window lifter. The carrier including a guide for a cable of the vehicle window lifter. The guide forms a guide surface and the cable lies along the guide surface when the vehicle window lifter is properly mounted. The guide surface defines at least one cutout configured to receive discharged particles from the guide surface of the carrier.

An articulated lever for a device for moving a furniture part received on a furniture carcass of an item of furniture, which has a spacer member in the form of a first and a second embossing. The first embossing is present on a first side of the first articulated lever, and the second embossing is present on a second side of the first articulated lever. The first and the second side of the first articulated lever are present opposite and spaced from one another. The first and the second embossing are present opposite one another. The first embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about a center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the first side. The second embossing has in the azimuthal and/or radial direction, about the center, an elevation and a depression relative to a remaining surface of the second side.
