  • Patent number: 7748081
    Abstract: The invention has as its object an adjustable hinge, comprising at least one pivotable hinge plate provided with at least one through-opening, and comprising at least one alignment washer provided with at least one through-opening, which through-openings are provided for penetration by assembly means for mounting the hinge, wherein the alignment washer and hinge plate are adjustable relative to each other in the plane of the hinge plate, and wherein the alignment washer and/or hinge plate is provided with at least one protruding sharp-edged annular collar and/or a multitude of pointed raised areas having a higher degree of hardness than the mating surfaces contacting it of the other component cooperating with it, namely the alignment washer or the hinge plate. The advantage is that the alignment washer can be adjusted as desired, i.e., also rotated, relative to the hinge plate, and fixed in form-fitting engagement.

  • Patent number: 7413369
    Abstract: A lock pin with pushbutton-operated axial locking has two locking elements which point in opposite directions and are mounted in radially outwards directed recesses in the body. To ensure a good, wear-resistant pivotal mounting of the two locking elements, combined with good locking action and resistance to shearing, the invention provides that the locking elements create a virtual, freely guided pivoting axis in their connection zone. The result is a pinless mounting of the locking elements.

  • Patent number: 7198306
    Abstract: A spring-biased locking bolt with an operating button and a bolt connected with the operating button is described, wherein the bolt is spring-biased and movable in a sleeve. The sleeve is screwed into a corresponding opening in a machine part or an item of furniture, wherein the bolt can engage in the opening. The locking bolt has an optional catch that fixes the pulled-out bolt in its raised position. A sleeve section oriented in an axial direction is formed on the operating button, wherein the longitudinally movable and spring-biased sleeve engages with its polygonal shoulder with the polygonal opening.

  • Patent number: 6746058
    Abstract: A spring-loaded, locking press pin assembly with a pin which extends axially through a guide sleeve and is connected at its upper end with a button, whereby a covered locking device is formed between the button and the guide sleeve. The locking device includes a ring recess, which is located in the button and is downwardly open in the axial direction, into which the guide sleeve engages in a spring-loaded manner with at least two locking teeth, opposite to each other and forming an axial slot between each other. The retainer area for the pressure spring is located in a downwardly open borehole in the guide sleeve and this borehole is located in an axial direction below the locking device.
