20080229543 | Control Valve For Door Closer - The invention relates to door closers, particularly a door closer control device that regulates the flow of a pressure medium controlling the function of a door closer. A control device according to the invention includes a support part with a collar that serves as a second support for the control device on the door closer body in addition to the support in the guiding part. This second support holds the control device in place within the pressure medium flow without any rocking or swaying movement, which would hamper the door closing speed. | 09-25-2008 |

20090106934 | Vehicle Closure Check Link - A check link for a closure of a vehicle pivotally connected to vehicle structure, and a method of operation, are disclosed. The check link may include a main rod having a first end pivotally engaging one of the vehicle structure and the closure, and an end cap fixed to an opposed second end. A support may be mounted on the other of the vehicle structure and the closure, with the main rod extending through the support. Also, a shock absorber is mounted to the support and located between the end cap and the support. The shock absorber is configured to absorb energy of motion of the closure when compressed between the end cap and the support. | 04-30-2009 |
20090119873 | DECELERATING STOP DEVICE FOR A MOVABLE MEMBER, IN PARTICULAR A FURNITURE DOOR OR DRAWER, FITTABLE TO A STOP SURFACE OF THE MOVABLE MEMBER - A decelerating device intended to intercept an end-of-stroke part of a closing path of a mobile member, such as a furniture drawer or door, including: a body fastenable in use to an abutting surface for the mobile member and internally defining a sealed chamber filled in use with a viscous fluid; a pushrod at least in part overhanging from the body and being adapted to cooperate in use with the mobile member, the pushrod being integral with a stem slidingly accommodated in the body against the bias of elastic means between an extracted position of the pushrod and a retracted position; and a piston accommodated in the sealed chamber so as to divide it into two portions hydraulically connected to each other and mechanically connected to the stem; wherein the stem presents a first end integrally connected to the pushrod and a second end opposite to the first, both slidingly accommodated in the body outside the sealed chamber and fluid-tightly towards the sealed chamber itself; the piston is provided with a mobile sealing member to choke the hydraulic communication between the two portions of the sealed chamber only during the stroke of the stem towards the retracted position. | 05-14-2009 |
20090139049 | Stop Damper - A stop damper including a damper member with a cylinder. A piston is moveably guided inside a receiving space of the cylinder. The cylinder has a sliding surface against which the piston rests with a sealing element. A braking force that acts upon the piston can be applied using the air pressure generated in the receiving space because the piston is displaced, the receiving space being connected to the environment via an air-conducting connection to reduce the air pressure. In order to improve the braking effect of the sliding element, the sealing element of the piston and the sliding surface of the cylinder can contact each other in at least some areas via a defined rubbing surface geometry, the peak-to-valley height of the sliding surface being <1 μm and the peak-to-valley height of the facing surface of the sealing element being=4.5 μm in at least some areas. | 06-04-2009 |
20090139050 | DOOR STOP APPARATUS - An improved door stop apparatus is provided. The improved door stop may have a brake mechanism having a brake portion and a brake release portion. Further, the brake mechanism may also have a magnetic portion that corresponds to a metal piece adhered to a wall for keeping the door ajar when friction and/or traction is not available. Additionally, an improved door stop apparatus is provided whereby the brake portion is adapted to a mounting plate that fits to a door wherein the brake mechanism may rotate about the mounting plate. Moreover, the present invention provides an improved door stop whereby the door stop is adaptable to be removably attached to any door without the need for permanent affixment of the door stop to the door. | 06-04-2009 |
