  • Patent number: 11053723
    Abstract: A flap fitting for furniture having a housing secured to a body. A support lever is rotatably mounted on the housing about a first axis of rotation. The support lever is connected to a flap about a second axis of rotation using a connection. A control lever is connected via the connection to the flap about a third axis of rotation. The control lever is articulatedly connected about a fourth axis of rotation to a control element and to the housing. The flap is pivotable via a gripping element. A center of rotation of the flap when in a closed position is located below the gripping element and when in a maximum open position is located above the gripping element. As a result the flap can be smoothly opened and closed by a user.

  • Publication number: 20200224477
    Abstract: A flap fitting for an item of furniture includes a housing which can be fixed to a body. A supporting arm is rotatably mounted on the housing. The flap fitting includes a pivotably mounted control arm. The supporting arm and the control arm can be hingedly connected to a flap at an attachment point via spaced-apart axes of rotation. A damper is provided at the attachment point and can be actuated via a movement of the supporting arm and/or the control arm in the event of an opening movement of the flap, before the maximum opening position is reached.

  • Patent number: 6132020
    Abstract: A drawer slide assembly, includes a first slide member securable to an article of furniture, a second slide member securable to a drawer, an intermediate slide member having an area formed with a plurality of raceways, and a plurality of rolling elements received in the raceways for slidingly coupling the second and intermediate slide members. In order to significantly improve a lateral stability of the drawer slide and to reduce the elastic deformation in the area of the race ways when subject to stress, the raceways-forming area of the intermediate slide member has a groove which is open towards the outside for receiving an inwardly bent end arm of the intermediate slide member.

  • Patent number: 5960512
    Abstract: A noise-damping or vibration-damping attachment feature for a windshield wiper system includes a damping element which is located in an opening of an attachment section of the windshield wiper system and itself supports, in a passage opening, a casing to hold an attachment screw or an attachment bolt, and to refine the aforesaid attachment feature in such a manner that it can be produced at low cost while dispensing with a manual mounting of the damping element. The attachment section and the bushing are manufactured as a single part from the same material, wherein the bushing connected by means of ridges at least temporarily to the attachment section, and the damping element is poured or injected into the space between bushing and attachment section.

  • Patent number: 5860186
    Abstract: A wiper arm for a lift-controlled windshield wiper device, in particular for an automotive vehicle, includes a coupling member that is also a component of a multiple joint assembly effecting lift control. A drive lever and a control lever are pivotably mounted on the coupling. The proposed improvement ensures that the wiper arm proximate the multiple joint assembly has a small overall height and can be manufactured at low cost. The coupling member that is part of the wiper arm is made as a sheet metal shaped part and has a profiled cross-section so that the drive lever or the control lever is connected to the coupling member so as to pivot within the height of the cross-section of the coupling member.
