A hinge or an item of furniture or a domestic appliance has a first hinge part and a second hinge part, which are interconnected via a lever mechanism having seven articulation pins and levers articulated thereon. The first hinge part has a first connecting piece and the second hinge part has a second connecting piece which are arranged parallel and spaced apart in a closed position of the hinge; and a cover element at least partially covers the lever mechanism on at least three sides in order to make it impossible to reach between the levers of the lever mechanism. A plurality of cover plates are formed integrally with the cover element, and the cover plates arranged on one side of the lever mechanism can be partially overlappingly pivoted relative to one another when the hinge is pivoted. The possibility of reaching into the lever mechanism is thereby prevented.

A deflection device is for a traction cord of a window lift of a motor vehicle. The deflection device has a cord pulley, which has a circumferential track for the traction cord and a central bearing opening, and a carrier for the cord pulley. A carrier-side journal is provided for rotatably mounting the cord pulley, wherein the cord pulley is ring-shaped and has an internal ring wall surrounding the central bearing opening and an external ring wall having the track. The ring-shaped cord pulley is joined to the journal with a snap-fit assembly.

A latching apparatus has a first component and a second component. The first component is made of a first material and includes a distal end, a proximal end, and an indention between the distal end the proximal end. The distal end includes a mating tab, whereas the proximal end includes a flange member for fixing the first component to a lid of a housing. The second component is made of a second material and is coupled to the mating tab. The second component includes a receiving element for engaging with a securing element of the housing. The latching element includes a pressing region formed in one of the first component and the second component between the indention and the receiving element. The first material has a higher flexibility that the second material.

A servomechanism for sliding doors of furniture item is described. An eddy-currents magnetic damper (80) to dampen the door is used to brake two carriages (26) mounted slidingly on the linear guides (20) for slidingly supporting the door.

A tamper resistant hasp having: a first member extending between a first inner end and a first outer end, the first member defining a first member outer boundary and has a mounting aperture located within the first member outer boundary; a second member that has: a first portion that extends between a second inner end and a joint end, the second inner end being pivotally coupled to the first inner end, the second member pivots relative to the first member so that in a first pivot position the first portion is against the first member and covers the mounting aperture, and in a second pivot position such that the mounting aperture is uncovered; and a second portion that extends away from the first portion at the joint end to a third end and having a shackle aperture located within the second portion outer boundary.

An appliance includes an outer cabinet having a front aperture for accessing a processing space. A door selectively engages the front aperture in a closed position to enclose the processing space. A hinge includes a cabinet mount attached to the outer cabinet and having a stop that defines an open position of the door. A hinge pin extends through the cabinet mount to define a rotational axis of the hinge. A sheet metal flange is press fit onto the hinge pin and is fixedly attached to the door. The sheet metal flange is wrapped around the hinge pin and is attached to the door via fasteners. The pin includes a protrusion that selectively engages the stop of the cabinet mount in the open position.

A hinge includes: a vehicle body-side hinge member that includes a vehicle body attachment portion for attachment to a vehicle body; a back door-side hinge member that includes a door attachment portion for attachment to a back door and a coupling portion extending from the door attachment portion toward the vehicle body-side hinge member, the coupling portion including a reinforcing rib on both edges in a width direction intersecting an extension direction of the coupling portion; and a rotational support member that couples an end portion, at a side of the vehicle body-side hinge member, of the coupling portion together with the vehicle body-side hinge member, and that supports the vehicle body-side hinge member and the back door-side hinge member so as to allow relative rotation of the vehicle body-side hinge member and the back door-side hinge member.

The invention relates to an automatic door system including a first door leaf of a first door leaf arrangement that can be displaced in the longitudinal direction. A floor-side guide rail arrangement extends in the longitudinal direction and includes a first floor rail arrangement. The at least one first door leaf includes an engagement element which is arranged on an underside of the at least one first door leaf. The at least one first floor rail arrangement includes at least one first floor rail and at least one connection and/or functional element, wherein the at least one connection and/or functional element is arranged on an end side of the at least one first floor rail. The at least one first floor rail includes at least one first guide groove extending in the longitudinal direction. The at least one engagement element of the at least one first door leaf of the at least one first door leaf arrangement is inserted into the at least one first guide groove and is guided in the longitudinal direction by the at least one first guide groove.

A furniture fitting for mounting, preferably movably, a first furniture part onto a second furniture part, includes a metal piece made from sheet metal, more particularly a connecting piece, having two faces spaced apart from one another by a material thickness of the sheet metal. The two faces have a regular arrangement of successive elevations and depressions, and one elevation on one of the two faces lies opposite a depression on the other of the two faces, and vice versa.

A hinge of a motor-vehicle mobile part includes a first and a second hinge element mounted articulated with respect to each other about a hinge axis. The second hinge element is articulated to the first hinge element by an articulation portion having two pins defining the hinge axis, and projecting in opposite directions from two sides of the second hinge element. The first hinge element and the second hinge element are obtained by an additive manufacturing technique in an already reciprocally articulated condition, with the pins mounted with clearance within respective articulation seats formed on two flanges of the first hinge element adjacent to the sides of the second hinge element. The hinge also includes two bushing-shaped members, each interposed between one of said two pins and the respective articulation seat.
