  • Patent number: 10995533
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive for a sash of a door, a gate, a window or the like comprises a housing and a piston which is displaceably guided in the housing and which divides the interior of the housing into a pressure chamber and a non-pressurized chamber. In this case, the drive, which can in particular be a hydraulic door closer, comprises a regulating valve which is arranged on the end face of the housing delimiting the pressure chamber on the side facing away from the piston and which is integrated in particular in a housing cover for activating an impact function. The regulating valve has a valve member which is displaceable between a closed position and an open position in a valve bore of a valve housing formed in particular by the housing cover, is impinged on in the closing direction by the pressure in the pressure chamber and can be transferred into the open position thereof by the spring force of a spring unit when the pressure in the pressure chamber falls below a predeterminable limit pressure.

  • Patent number: 10161172
    Abstract: The invention relates to a retracting device for a leaf of a door or a window, comprising a housing, a piston which is arranged in a receiving area of the housing and which is urged by a spring, and a shaft which is mounted in the housing and which interacts with the piston, an actuating arm for the leaf being arranged on the shaft in a non-rotatable manner. At least one first driving element is arranged on the shaft, the head surface of said driving element forming a freewheel device with a freewheel region, wherein an arrangement of the piston or a tooth of a toothing of the piston slides on the freewheeling region so as to decouple the shaft from the piston.
