  • Patent number: 11959327
    Abstract: The invention describes a fluid damper for furniture parts that are movable relative to one another, said fluid damper comprising a piston (4) guided movably in a cylinder (1) along a longitudinal axis. At least one through opening (4.1, 4.2) for fluid flowing through is provided in the piston (4) and/or between the piston (4) and cylinder (1). A sleeve (2) is arranged so as to be radially rotatable, relative to the piston (4) against a spring loading, about the longitudinal axis or about an axis running parallel thereto, which sleeve comprises, on its circumference, a number of wings (2.1, 2.2, 2.1?, 2.2?) corresponding to the number of through openings (4.1, 4.2). The spring loading is directed such that the wing (2.1, 2.2, 2.1?, 2.2?) exposes the through opening (4.1, 4.

  • Publication number: 20240018818
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a body, in particular a cabinet, with a part that can be pivoted between two positions by an electric motor, e.g. B. door or panel. During its closing movement, the body, in particular the cabinet, actuates a control device that activates the motor. A separate sensor, which reacts to the movements of the control device and by means of which the motor output can be changed, is arranged between the control device and the motor.

  • Patent number: 11486181
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for opening and closing supported covers, in which a first compressive force is exerted onto a working body having a longitudinal axis in a first axial direction so that the working body is released from a latch connection, the working body being displaced in a spring-mounted manner from the housing into a first working position against the first compressive force direction when the first compressive force is cancelled, wherein a cover operatively connected to the working body is opened, is returned partially into the housing into a second working position by a renewed compressive force in the same axial direction of the working body; the working body, when partially returned, latches with the latch connection, and, by way of a continued compressive force in the same axial direction, the working body is returned against a resistance of a damping element into a starting position in the housing, the cover being returnable into a closed position.

  • Patent number: 11261639
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid damper for bodies that are movable relative to one another, said damper comprising a piston that is movably guided in a cylinder. At least one through opening is provided in the piston and/or between the piston and the cylinder for through-flowing fluid. Adjustment means are provided on the fluid damper for adjusting a limitation least of the maximum possible through-flow cross section for the fluid at least one passage opening. The piston is connected to a piston rod leading out of the cylinder. The adjustment means comprises detent connection which is pushed, in a radially non-twistable manner, onto the end of the piston rod located in the cylinder, and holds the piston in a desired position in the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 11129473
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rack for a cabinet, preferably a corner cabinet, comprising at least two shelves, which can be rotated about an axis and can be slid transversely to the axis. The shelves can be operated independently of each other, can be arranged one over the other, and can be slid on shelf supports. The shelves are mounted on the shelf supports in such a way that rotation by 360° is enabled. Each shelf not mounted on a bottom of the cabinet is mounted on at least one support, which can be fastened to a stable wall in a rear region of the cabinet and is arranged in such a way that the height of the support can be varied.
