Abstract: A hinge assembly including a hinge cup, a hinge arm and a hinge lever pivotally connected to both the hinge cup and the hinge arm so as to connect the two together. The assembly further including a damping device and an actuator assembly operable to activate the damping device as the hinge assembly moves from an open position to a closed position. The actuator assembly is operable to move from a second position to a first position to actuate the damping device, where the hinge arm engages with the actuator assembly to cause said movement from the second position to the first position.

Abstract: A hinge assembly including a first fitment portion, a second fitment portion, and a link assembly including at least seven hinge axes. The linkage assembly includes two levers directly pivotally mounted to the first fitment portion. The hinge assembly further includes a damping device pivotally mounted between the said two levers.

Abstract: A movement control device comprising a housing with an elongate push rod mounted therein for reciprocal movement along a longitudinal axis between first and second positions, wherein the push rod extends out of said housing in both the first and second positions. A spring comprising a primary axis operable to provide a biasing force on the push rod is further provided in the housing. A damping device comprising a primary axis is located in the housing, wherein the damping device is in continuous engagement with the push rod through its reciprocating movement. The primary axis of the spring and the primary axis of the damping device are not coaxial.
