A closing hinge for the pivotable articulation of a first part, in particular a door leaf, on a second part, in particular a door frame, includes a center longitudinal axis, a rotating receiver unit that can be rotated about the center longitudinal axis for fastening to the first part, which can be rotated, in particular, about the center longitudinal axis, and a freely rotating closing unit, which is connected to the rotating receiver unit in a torque-transmitting manner, for fastening to the second part, which is fixed, in particular, with respect to the center longitudinal axis, the closing hinge being displaceable between a closing arrangement and a freely rotating arrangement, the rotating receiver unit being freely rotatable, in particular in a torque-free manner, about the center longitudinal axis relative to the freely rotating closing unit in the closing arrangement.

Closing hinge

A door arrangement includes a first part, in particular a door leaf, a second part, in particular a door frame, on which the first part is pivotably articulated about a pivot axis, a closing hinge, which connects the first part and the second part, for a closing movement of the first part relative to the second part and a damping hinge connecting the first part and the second part, to damp the closing movement. The door arrangement can be displaced between a closed position, in particular in which the first part rests in a closing manner on the second part, and an opened position, in which the first part is pivoted at a pivoting angle that differs from zero about the pivot axis in relation to the second part.

Door arrangement

An arrangement comprises a housing, in particular of a cooling and/or freezing device, a door which is articulated to the housing so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis of a hinge, and at least one drive device for pivoting the door relative to the housing, with the drive device comprising a drive unit by means of which a moment is exertable on the door relative to the hinge axis via at least one force transmission means.

Drive device for refrigerator doors

A device for grounding electrical components arranged in a chain has a grounding point at ground potential and an actuation device connected to the grounding point for connecting the electrical components to the grounding point. In order to provide such a device, with which a simple, safe, and durable grounding is obtained, the actuation device is constructed as a moving part extending in a longitudinal direction and movable in a longitudinal direction. The moving part has an electrically conducting grounding section connected to the grounding point and an electrically nonconducting insulating section arranged on the end of the moving part facing away from the grounding point.

The invention relates to an active impact protection system () for a knee area and/or a lower leg area of a vehicle occupant in a motor vehicle, particularly in a passenger car. The impact protection system () comprises an impact element () that can be extended toward the vehicle occupant out of a passive position and into an active position by means of a drive device (). A particularly advantageous design results when the impact element () is formed by a lid of a passenger-side glove compartment ().
