20110095014 | DOOR HINGE FOR A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE - A compact, low-cost hinge assembly for mounting a door to a household appliance. A stay bar has first and second elongate edge surfaces extending between opposing first and second ends. The first end is pivotally connected to a door-mounting bracket on which an abutment is located. A torsion spring is mounted to a body-mounting bracket, and an arm of the spring resiliently engages the first edge surface to urge the second surface into engagement with the abutment, urging the door, in a closed position, toward the closed position. A detent recess in the second surface receives the abutment to hold the door partially open. A stop face projects from the first edge surface, and the spring arm contacts the stop face to hold the door horizontal, in a fully open position. | 04-28-2011 |
20090090803 | RETRACTOR APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICAL CORD - A modular cord retractor apparatus includes a spring-driven reel and may be used with a range of different electrical appliances incorporating a dual conductor cord. Fixed and rotating electrical contact pairs provide power to the cord reduce noise and wear. Rotating contacts are disposed at axially opposing ends of an axle assembly supporting the reel. Each rotating contact has a contact surface intersecting the axis and each fixed contact is mounted to a fixed reel mount. The axle assembly includes first and second axle portions of a dielectric material, each receiving a respective electrically-conductive strip, with the rotating contacts located proximate one end of each strip. | 04-09-2009 |
