  • Patent number: 11359428
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for pivotably holding a wing flap. The device comprises a flat four-bar linkage comprising two pivotably mounted pivoting arms and two pull arms fastened in parallel in an articulated manner to the pivoting arms, a fastening element for applying the wing flap being applied to the pull arms. The invention further comprises elastic means for damping the pivoting movement, which engage with the four-bar linkage, and a damper device for damping the pivoting movement in the region of two end positions, with a linear pressure damper and a first and a second transmission element. The pressure damper cooperates, on a first side of the pressure damper, via the first transmission element, with a first of the two pivoting arms in the region of a first of the two end positions. Furthermore, the pressure damper cooperates, on a second side of the pressure damper, via the second transmission element, with a second of the two pivoting arms in the region of a second of the two end positions.

  • Patent number: 10638838
    Abstract: A retraction device for a drawer mechanism comprises a spring-loaded carriage that can be moved in the push-in/pull-out direction for temporary coupling to an inner rail of the drawer mechanism. The carriage can be clocked in a retraction position by means of a locking slide that can be moved transverse to the push-in/pull-out direction in a guide. For coupling to the inner rail the carriage has at least one pivot element, which can be pivoted about an axis oriented perpendicular to the push-in/pull-out direction and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the locking slide. The pivot element and guide are arranged in such a manner that, in a locking position, the locking slide blocks a pivoting movement of the pivot element.

  • Publication number: 20100231350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mechatronic lock comprising a linearly movable bolt which can be moved from a retracted position into an advanced position in order to lock the lock. Said lock further comprises an actuating element for manually actuating the bolt, a blocking element which can laterally engage into a profiled section of the bolt in order to block the linear movement of the bolt in the advanced position of the bolt, and an electric drive for moving a movable intermediate element. The blocking element can be actuated by the movable intermediate element via a first spring means, especially a coil spring, in such a way that the spring means can be biased by actuating the drive when the bolt is in the retracted position. The blocking element thus snaps into the advanced position thereof in the profiled section of the bolt when the bolt is advanced, and the bolt is prevented from being retracted.

  • Patent number: 5464299
    Abstract: A clamping device that can be anchored in a hollow profile member (2) by expansion in force-derived fashion comprises two wedge-like wedge sleeve halves (5.1, 5.2). A surface responsible for the force-derived connection is constituted at least in part by a coating (8.1, 8.2) of granulated hard material.
