Latest Patents

Jergen is named on 1 patent: “Damping Hinge and Functional Entity with a Damping Hinge.” The invention describes a hinge with two levers that rotate relative to one another around a hinge axis. A hinge shaft is positioned in sleeves on the levers, while a damping device includes an actuating element responsive to their rotation.

The second lever sleeve has at least one guide element, and an actuating rod is held displaceably by the hinge shaft. The rod comprises a rod element and at least one connected track element. As the hinge levers rotate, the track element interacts with the guide element, moving the actuating rod axially against the damping device’s actuating element. This arrangement enables the hinge’s movement to engage the damping mechanism.

Career Highlights

Jergen’s listed patent reflects work on hinge technology and functional components for controlled movement. His association with Hawa Sliding Solutions AG connects his invention to a company focused on sliding and movement solutions.
