  • Patent number: 11284729
    Abstract: A damper device set is provided which can mount a damper device on a door that is thin and has a constraint on the mounting position. A first fastening member is used to fix a mounting plate to a door. A second fastening member placed at a position different from the first fastening member in a thickness direction of the door is used to fix, to the mounting plate, a damper device including a case and a linear damper housed in the case. At least part of the linear damper overlaps at least part of the first fastening member in plan view of the door.

  • Patent number: 11118389
    Abstract: Provided is a retracting device comprising a main arm and a sub-arm wherein appearance can be improved. An arm (5) has a main arm (7) and a sub-arm (8) such that an acceptance portion (25) for accepting a receiving part (reception part) (6) is formed between these. The main arm (7) and the sub-arm (8) are configured so that the main arm (7) and the sub-arm (8) rotate by way of: the acceptance portion (25) being closed in a hold position; the acceptance portion (25) opening by the receiving part (reception part) (6) coming into contact with the main arm (7) in the hold position; and an end portion (21) of the main arm (7) and an end portion (24) of the sub-arm (8) coming into contact while the acceptance portion (25) is opened.
