  • Patent number: 11739580
    Abstract: A hinge arrangement having a first hinge part and having a second hinge part, which are connected to one another such that they can pivot, a first hinge pin being formed on the first hinge part, on which a first hinge sleeve is pivotably mounted, which forms a first sliding bearing with the first hinge pin, a dimensionally stable support part being connected to the first hinge sleeve. A first axial protrusion is formed on a first axial end face of the first hinge pin, which engages in an arcuate first groove of the first hinge sleeve, wherein a circumferential first side wall of the first groove together with the first axial end face and an inner side of an end cover fixed at the end of the first hinge sleeve delimits a working space which is filled with a damping fluid for damping a relative movement of the first axial protrusion with respect to the first groove.

  • Publication number: 20220042348
    Abstract: A latch for coupling of a first component to a second component, the latch having a base body which includes a first bearing, a second bearing and a third bearing, the latch having a lever which is mounted pivotably on the first bearing about a first pivot axis between a locking position and an unlocking position, the latch having a locking which is mounted pivotably on the second bearing and which includes a spring-loaded locking part, which locking part rests on the lever in order to transmit a predetermined braking force to the lever in the locking position of the lever, the latch further including a release lever which is mounted movably on the third bearing between a blocking position for blocking the locking in the locking position and a release position for releasing the locking from the locking position.

  • Publication number: 20220034434
    Abstract: Fitting for fixing a threaded element to a wall section, including a base body which is penetrated by a recess, which recess is extended along a central axis, further including a clamping ring which is rotatably mounted on an outer surface of the base body, wherein a cam is assigned to the outer surface of the base body or to the clamping ring, which cam effectuates a change in diameter of the clamping ring during a rotary movement of the clamping ring relative to the base body, wherein a coupling part is movably received in the recess and forms with the base body a rotary coupling, wherein a threaded portion of the coupling part determines a thread axis, wherein the coupling part is accommodated in the recess with a variable orientation of the thread axis within a predetermined angular interval and/or within a predetermined distance interval to the central axis.
