Opening device for flip-up vehicle doors

One end of a connection wire is connected to a rear vehicle door which can be popped up by an urging force from a user. An apparatus for maintaining the position of the upwardly swinging rear door once it is opened at a desired angle includes a pulley for receiving the other end of the connection wire wound around it. A power spring urges the pulley in a connection wire-winding direction. A one-way clutch includes a rotatable outer ring with an input shaft at the center thereof. The input shaft is connected to the pulley. The input shaft is also connected to the outer ring through multiple rollers interposed between the outer ring and the input shaft so that the pulley is allowed to rotate in the connection wire-winding direction. In maintaining the upwardly swinging rear door at a desired angle once it is opened, a solenoid is energized to move a stopper into an engaging groove on the periphery of the outer ring. When the stopper engages the engaging groove, the rotation of the outer ring is restricted. In opening or closing the rear door, the solenoid is de-energized to disengage the stopper from the engaging groove. Consequently, the outer ring is allowed to rotate freely.

Cabinet door support mechanism

An up-assist/soft close support mechanism for a cabinet door that opens by moving upwardly and then rearwardly to a partly horizontal position above the cabinet. The mechanism includes pairs of unequal length links on opposite end walls of the cabinet. One of those links is designed as a bell crank. A gas cylinder is coupled between one arm of the bell crank and the cabinet end wall, while the second arm of the bell crank is connected to the door. When a user begins to open the door, the gas cylinder exerts a turning movement about the bell crank which assists opening movement of the door. Conversely, when a user begins to close the door, the bell crank turns in the opposite direction and exerts a compressive force on the cylinder, providing a “soft close” function.

Fitting for a cabinet lid

The fittings for a two-part furniture flap (9), with an upper (10) and a lower (11) section, have a swing mechanism (18) to link the body (2) of the furniture with the upper flap section.
