  • Patent number: 11109676
    Abstract: The invention relates to a movement device for drawers, including an extending mechanism. A blocking element can be moved from a retracted position into an open position or a partially open position by the extending mechanism, and the extending mechanism is held in the retracted position by an overstroke mechanism. The overstroke mechanism has a switching element which is held on a stop by a blocking element in the retracted position and can be lifted from the stop when an overstroke is applied onto the switching element. An improved switching behavior can be achieved in that the blocking element is offset transversely to the overstroke direction when the overstroke is applied.

  • Patent number: 8485325
    Abstract: A stop damper including a damper member with a cylinder. A piston is moveably guided inside a receiving space of the cylinder. The cylinder has a sliding surface against which the piston rests with a sealing element. A braking force that acts upon the piston can be applied using the air pressure generated in the receiving space because the piston is displaced, the receiving space being connected to the environment via an air-conducting connection to reduce the air pressure. In order to improve the braking effect of the sliding element, the sealing element of the piston and the sliding surface of the cylinder can contact each other in at least some areas via a defined rubbing surface geometry, the peak-to-valley height of the sliding surface being <1 ?m and the peak-to-valley height of the facing surface of the sealing element being =4.5 ?m in at least some areas.

  • Patent number: 8336684
    Abstract: A stop damper with a damper member including a receiving space inside which a piston is movably guided between an initial and an inserting position. The piston includes a bellows section and a sealing element, the sealing element resting on a sliding surface of the damper member and the bellows section being allocated to a rest section of the damper member at the initial position. To improve a damping characteristic of a stop damper, the rest section includes at least sectionwise a region that enlarges in the direction of the inserting movement of the piston.

  • Patent number: 8123005
    Abstract: An end-stop damper including a damper body in the form of a cylinder, wherein a piston is guided so that it is displaceable in the cylinder receiving chamber. An air pressure is formed in the receiving chamber produces a braking force acting on the piston during its displacement. The receiving chamber includes at least one pressure reducing opening and the piston includes a bellows section which is actively connected to the cylinder according to pressure conditions in the receiving chamber. This invention substantially simplifies the structural design of the end-stop damper because the piston and the bellows section are connected to each other so that they are formed in one piece.

  • Publication number: 20100133731
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stop damper with a damper member (10) that comprises a receiving space (12) inside which a piston (33) is movably guided between an initial and an inserting position. The piston comprises a bellows section (34) and a searing element (35), the sealing element (35) resting on a sliding surface (12.1) of the damper member (10) and the bellows section (34) being allocated to a rest section (12.2) of the damper member (10) at the initial position. In order to improve the damping characteristic of such a stop damper, the rest section (12.2) comprises at least sectionwise a region that is enlarging in the direction of the inserting movement of the piston (33).

  • Patent number: 7455154
    Abstract: A shock absorber with a shock absorber body having a cylinder. A piston is moveably guided in a receiving space of the cylinder. When the piston is moved, an air pressure generated in the receiving space exerts a braking force that acts on the piston. For air pressure reduction, the receiving space has at least one opening that produces an air-carrying connection between the receiving space and the environment. The shock absorber body has a simple design if the piston or the cylinder contains a receptacle into which an insert piece is inserted in a frictionally engaging fashion and if the opening is positioned between the insert piece and the wall of the receptacle that is touched by the insert piece.

  • Patent number: 7384079
    Abstract: A lock which can be used for doors which are fitted on the right or left. The lock includes a nut which can be adjusted from the outside by an actuating element and which is disposed in a housing. The lock enables a bolt to be displaced between a closed position, when it is pushed out from the housing, and an open position, when it is pushed into the housing, by an adjusting element. According to this invention, the bolt is maintained in a closed position, counter to the pretension of a spring, in order to enable the type of lock, which can be optionally used on the left or on the right, to be produced without any additional costs. The nut can be adjusted from the pushed out bolt or the closed position, optionally, in a clockwise direction or in an counter-clockwise direction, in order to move the bolt into an open position.
