Abstract
An anti-pinch device includes a first body and a second body, the first body is fitted to an inner surface of a movable part to be protected (e.g., an inner surface of a drawer) via a fixing surface, and the second body is limited and retained in a first position to abut against the body to be protected (e.g., a cabinet body) via an abutting surface; and when the second body is displaced to a second position, the abutting between the second body and the body to be protected is released, allowing the movable part to be protected to be displaced and closed.
Claims18
An anti-pinch device comprising:
- a first body,
- a second body rotatably connected to the first body about a pivot as an axis and pivotally disposed to be switchable between at least a first position and a second position;
- and
- a first resetting member provided between the second body and the first body, so that the second body has a tendency to be displaced toward the first position;
- and
- wherein the second body is in a distant position relative to the first body when the second body is located in the first position and is in a proximate position relative to the first body when the second body is located in the second position;
- and
- when the second body is locked in the first position, the second body is retained to prevent a part to be protected from being closed via abutting of an abutting surface against a body to be protected to achieve an anti-pinch function, and when the second body is displaced to the second position, the anti-pinch device is not in contact with the body to be protected to allow the part to be protected to close.
An anti-pinch device comprising:
- a first body;
- a second body rotatably connected to the first body and pivotally provided between at least a first position and a second position;
- a first resetting member acting between the second body and the first body to apply a resetting force to the second body;
- and
- an actuating member provided on the first body;
- and
- wherein the second body is pivoted from the first position toward the first body by a first predetermined angle to reach the second position, and when the second body is locked in the second position, a pivotal movement thereof is locked or unlocked by a rotational locking mechanism;
- when a part to be protected is to be closed, the second body is adjusted to the second position, and then the anti-pinch device is displaced with the part to be protected to a closed position, the actuating member comes into contact with the body to be protected and is actuated to retract to drive the rotational locking mechanism to unlock, and the second body is rotated from the second position toward the first position by a second predetermined angle under a resetting force of the first resetting member to cause the second body to abut against the body to be protected;
- and
- when the part to be protected is opened next time, the anti-pinch device is displaced with the part to be protected to an open position, and the second body is rotated toward the first position by a third predetermined angle under the action of the resetting force of the first resetting member to reach the first position.
