A drawer slide assembly control mechanism including a cabinet rail and a drawer rail is provided, the control mechanism including a drawer latch bracket associated with one of the drawer and the drawer rail and having an engagement tab extending outwardly therefrom, and a shock-absorbing sub-assembly. The shock-absorbing sub-assembly includes an elongate bracket member associated with the cabinet rail and capable of limited linear movement along a portion of the cabinet rail, a movable latch associated with the elongate bracket member and cooperating with the engagement tab of the drawer latch so as to move in concert with movement of the drawer rail over at least a portion of a length of the drawer rail, and a shock absorber associated with the elongate bracket member and cooperating with the movable latch for damping movement of the movable latch at least during a closing stroke of the drawer rail.

Control mechanism for drawer slide assembly

A hinge assembly is provided to mount a door to a housing, and includes a housing fixation section (), a hinge cup () pivotally connected to the housing fixation section (), and a damping mechanism () positioned entirely within the hinge cup () to dampen movement of the door as it closes on the housing.

Damping mechanism for cabinet hinge assembly

A universal damping mechanism is provided, including a housing having a mounting surface for fixing the housing to an appropriate furniture or fixture surface. The mounting surface includes a bottom surface of a box-shaped portion of the housing, which further includes a pair of laterally opposed side surfaces extending upwardly from the bottom surface. Each lateral side surface includes a recessed portion defining a first opening of an angled hole communicating with a second opening of the angled hole provided in the bottom surface proximate a central portion thereof. A shock absorber subassembly is slidably positioned within a shock absorber receiving portion of the housing and has a first end extending from a first end of the housing, and an adjustment mechanism is coupled to a second end of the housing and adjustably engaged with a second end of the shock absorber subassembly within the shock absorber receiving portion.

Universal damping mechanism

Hinge assembly for mounting a door on a furniture frame for movement of the door between open and closed positions of the door relative to the furniture frame is provided comprising a mounting plate adapted to be affixed to a furniture frame member, an intermediate plate disposed atop of and slideably engaged to said mounting plate, a top plate disposed atop of and slideably engaged to said intermediate plate and said mounting plate, said top plate comprising a body portion having a depending front face and at least one depending rear member, a hinge arm slideably engaged to said top plate, and a guide pin extending through an aperture in the at least one depending rear member under the body portion of the top plate, under a portion of the intermediate plate, and into a corresponding aperture in the front face of the top plate. The hinge assembly is adjustable such that the hinge arm can be adjusted in three dimensions relative to the mounting plate.
