The invention relates to a damper ( 1 ) for furniture, especially hinges, comprising a housing ( 2 ) in which a piston ( 8 ) is connected to a piston rod ( 3 ) and can be displaced. A fluid flows through at least one flow channel ( 11 ) on or in the piston ( 8 ) during a movement of the piston ( 8 ) inside the housing ( 2 ). A connecting element ( 4 ) having a seat ( 5 ) for coupling a drive element thereto is provided on the piston rod ( 3 ) on the end section projecting from the housing ( 2 ). The seat ( 5 ) has a cut-out section ( 18 ) on the face of the of the piston rod ( 3 ) accommodated therein, said cut-out section allowing the direct mechanical contact of a face ( 17 ) of the piston rod ( 3 ) and a drive element accommodated in the seat ( 5 ) so that there is a direct flux of force in the axial direction from the drive element accommodated in the seat towards the piston rod ( 3 ) when pressure is applied.

Consumer appliance such as dishwasher with soft open door mechanism

Номер: US20120176014A1
Автор: Aaron Matthew McDaniel, John Alexander Gardner
Принадлежит: General Electric Co

A consumer appliance with a soft open door mechanism includes a cabinet having top and a bottom and defining an opening along a front side. A door has a top and a bottom and is attached by a hinge to the front side of the cabinet. The hinge is at a bottom of the door so that the door is movable between an upright position closing the opening and a substantially horizontal position opening the opening. A spring is mounted in the cabinet so as to oppose movement of the door toward the horizontal position. A damping device is mounted within the cabinet activatable by an opening movement of the door toward the horizontal position to slow the door motion. The damping device is not active until the door has moved a distance from the upright position toward the horizontal position. Again, various options and modifications are possible.

Our device will prevent doors/drawers from being fully closed haphazardly. Our invention is new because all objects out there prevent the doors/drawers from being opened while our product solves the unexpected accidents that can occur when those doors/drawers are already open but could cause harm or damage if unintentionally or mindlessly closed. Our product prevents the closing of an object, not the opening of said object. 1. The scope of our claim is that this device prevents an object from being fully closed. Our subject matter is any door mechanism, whether that door is a door in a home, a door on a car, a drawer in a dresser, and our device is the attachment that prevents that door/drawer from closing. This product was invented when I saw a need to protect my daughter's fingers from being crushed when my toddler son slammed the dresser drawer close and she barely got them out in time. From my product research, there are many products to keep drawers closed, but there are not any to prevent accidents from happening when drawers are not locked or are already open.The general idea and purpose of this invention is to prevent someone from getting hurt if a drawer or door is unexpectedly closed on them. This product could be used on clothes drawers, doors in houses, doors in cars, and most openings where if someone had their hand on the object and it is accidentally closed with their hand still on said object, the invention would leave enough space so their fingers aren't harmed. Its purpose is to prevent accidents from happening and avoidable harm from occurring.There are essentially three components to the invention. The first, a base that adheres to the object, ie a door, drawer, etc, that you suspect could possibly harm someone if unexpectedly closed. The second, a block within the base that would prevent the object from closing fully when uncompressed. The third, a spring connected to the base and block that pushes the block out to prevent the object from being ...

A commercial vehicle used for parcel delivery is installed with a control module. The control module communicates wirelessly with a transmitter to give control to the vehicle operator.
