20100229341 | ASSIST DEVICE FOR MOVABLE BODY - A catcher member is provided to be movable between a standby position and a retracted position, and at the standby position, while being urged by an urging device, the catcher member is positioned in the standby position by a holding device. When a movable body is moved forward a predetermined movement position, a striker member is caught and engaged with the catcher member positioned in the standby position, and subsequently, holding by the holding device is released, and the catcher member is moved or relatively moved up to the retracted position by being urged by the urging device, so that the urging force is applied to the movable body up to position where the movement ends. An operation device is provided so as to be able to operate to move the catcher member which was moved to the retracted position without catching the striker member, toward the standby position. | 09-16-2010 |
20110041284 | RETRACTION MECHANISM - A retraction mechanism includes a striker provided in either a fixed body or a movable body which is movably supported by the fixed body; a catcher provided in the other body and engaging the striker at a predetermined moved position of the movable body to be capable of engaging and disengaging; and an urging device enabling to accumulate urging forces in a moving process of the movable body. The retraction mechanism retracts the movable body by the urging forces accumulated in the urging device in a state wherein the striker and the catcher are engaged. The retraction mechanism includes a guide device controlling a relative position between the striker and the catcher, and when the striker and the catcher change the relative position, the change thereof is absorbed by the guide device, so that the engagement becomes possible. | 02-24-2011 |

20130014343 | SLIDE ASSIST DEVICEAANM Tanno; AkihikoAACI Fujisawa-shiAACO JPAAGP Tanno; Akihiko Fujisawa-shi JPAANM Tomioka; KazuyukiAACI Ashigarakami-gunAACO JPAAGP Tomioka; Kazuyuki Ashigarakami-gun JP - A slide assist device includes a draw-in unit including a case attached to one of a main body or a mobile body, a slider slideably placed on the case, a latch supported in the slider and switchable between a standby position locked in a corresponding portion of the case and a draw-in position releasing the locking, and an urging device; and an actuating member attached to the other of the main body or the mobile body, switching the latch from the standby position to the draw-in position, or from the draw-in position to the standby position. By switching the latch from the standby position to the draw-in position, an urging force moves the mobile body from a first position to a second position through the actuating member. At least one of either the slider or the case is disposed in a mutually opposed portion, and protrudes toward a mating side. | 01-17-2013 |
20130019432 | SELF-CLOSING SLIDING DOOR ASSEMBLY - Disclosed is a self-closing sliding door assembly operable to allow manual opening and controlled automatic closing of a sliding door. The door assembly comprises storage spools for storing biasing members biased in a wound position around the storage spools. The door assembly further comprises a main spool for winding a cable and the biasing members. When the door is moved towards an open position, the cable is unwound from the main spool, causing the spool to rotate in a first direction. When the main spool is rotated in the first direction, the biasing members are wound onto the main spool and store energy operable to generate a force to cause the main spool to rotate in a second direction. When the door is released, the energy stored in the biasing members rotates the main spool in the second direction, thereby winding the door cable and providing a sufficient force to move the door towards the closed position. | 01-24-2013 |
20130091665 | DOOR CLOSER WITH BUFFER MECHANISM FOR A SLIDING DOOR - A door closer for a top hung sliding door has a buffer mechanism and a trolley hanger. The buffer mechanism includes a stationary base, a sliding block, a hook, two buffers and two resilient members. The sliding block is slidably mounted on the stationary base. The hook is pivotally mounted on the sliding block. The buffers are mounted on the stationary base and each buffer has a piston rod secured to the sliding block. The resilient members are mounted on the stationary base and each resilient member has one end secured to the sliding block. The trolley hanger has at least one engaging recess selectively engaging the hook. Therefore, the buffers can provide a buffering force and the resilient members can release a resilient force to reduce a moving speed of a door panel. | 04-18-2013 |
20130133157 | RETRACTING DEVICE AND RETRACTING MAIN BODY USED FOR THE SAME - A retracting device has a retracting main body including a case, a hook disposed in the case, an urging member, and a braking device including a cylinder and a piston rod; and a protruding portion engaging with and disengaging from the hook in a middle of a movement of a moving body relative to an enclosure. The hook is switched between a retracting position allowing the moving body to move in an engaged state with the protruding portion, and a standby position disallowing the moving body to move in a disengaged state. The hook is in the standby position when disengaged from the protruding portion in a state wherein the piston rod is entered with respect to the cylinder, and has reduced a protruding dimension, and is switchable to the retracting position from the standby position when the piston rod increases the protruding dimension relative to the cylinder. | 05-30-2013 |

20150376927 | DRIVE DEVICE FOR A MOVABLE FURNITURE PART - Drive device for a movable furniture part, having a lockable push-out device for pushing the movable furniture part out of a closed position into an open position, wherein the push-out device can be unlocked by virtue of the movable furniture part being pushed into an excess-pressure position located behind the closed position, as seen in the closing direction, wherein an excess-pressure region is located between the closed position and an excess-pressure position, and having a damping device for damping the closing movement of the movable furniture part, wherein the damping device has displacement-dependent damping, wherein the damping force in a main damping region, located in front of the closed position-as seen in the opening direction, is higher than in the excess-pressure region. | 12-31-2015 |
20160040465 | POSITION ADJUSTING MECHANISM OF A SOFT-CLOSING DEVICE FOR A SLIDING DOOR - A position adjusting mechanism of a soft-closing device for a sliding door has a bracket with a mounting panel and at least one positioning rack, a cover panel mounted on the bracket, and a positioning hook, a torsion spring and a driving element pivotally mounted on the cover panel. At least one first fastener is mounted through the cover panel and the mounting panel and is fastened to a door track. The bracket can slide relative to the cover panel to allow the positioning hook to selectively engage in different engaging recesses of a corresponding positioning rack. Thus, moving distance of the bracket and a door panel suspended from the bracket can be estimated. Accordingly, positions of the bracket and the door panel on the door track can be adjusted to allow the door panel to close a doorway completely. | 02-11-2016 |
