  • 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: 8876231
    Abstract: An adapter kit of a slide module includes a fixing rack and an external frame coupled with an inner rail and an outer rail respectively and is installed between a drawer and a cabinet. First and second side boards are disposed on both sides of the fixing rack respectively, and the second side board has at least one folded portion and at least one level difference portion. First and second bent portions corresponding to the first and second side boards are disposed on both sides of the external frame respectively, thus the first bent portion and the folded portion can be latched with each other, and an inner surface of the second bent portion abuts the level difference portion to form two support structures to enhance the strength. The adapter kit can be used with various slide modules to provide a hidden slide design and lower the development cost.

  • Patent number: 8091971
    Abstract: A soft-close cabinet slide assembly permits the soft-close action and/or a soft-open action of a drawer, and thus the reduction of effort by an operator, when the drawer is opening or closing. The cabinet slide assembly includes a cabinet, a drawer, and at least one slide mechanism coupling the drawer to the cabinet to permit movement of the drawer between a fully open position and a fully closed position. A forcing means for exerting an extension force, preferably a gas spring, is also be included in the soft-close cabinet slide assembly having a first end coupled to the cabinet and a second end coupled to the drawer. Preferably, the soft-close cabinet slide assembly also includes a first and second pivotal coupling, which permit the gas spring to swing through an arc as the drawer moves between the fully open position and the fully closed position.

  • Patent number: 8056994
    Abstract: A positioning device for a drawer includes a base, a handle and a pair of connecting members. The base comprises a fixing plate, an engaging arm and a resilient member. The engaging arm comprises a tenon, a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a first end connected to the fixing plate, and a second end connected to the resilient member. The tenon is disposed on the first side of the engaging arm adjacent to the second end. The second end of the engaging arm is formed with a first through hole. The handle is formed with a second through hole corresponding in position to the second end of the engagement arm. The handle is provided with a recess to accommodate the resilient member. The connecting members insert through the second through hole and the first through hole. By assembling the above parts with the drawer, the tenon engages with an engaging hole of the drawer slide.

  • Patent number: 7695080
    Abstract: A securing device for a drawer slide includes a base, a pressing element and a first elastic element. The pressing element is slidably connected to the base. The pressing member has a releasing block. The first elastic element is disposed in the pressing element. When the pressing element is pressed, the releasing block is partially inserted into the base. When the pressing force against the releasing block is released, the pressing element restores its original state. The base is provided with a fixing plate for mounting the base to a drawer. A holding element is provided in a drawer slide to facilitate engagement of the base. By pressing the pressing element, the engagement of the holding element is released.
