016233000 | Including lever for shifting one member of hinge relative to another | 11 |
20080209677 | FURNITURE HINGE - A furniture hinge including a carcass hinge part ( | 09-04-2008 |
20090119875 | Damping device group for furniture hinges - A damping device group is intended to be mounted on an articulated hinge for pieces of furniture and comprising a base plate, integral with or to be fixed onto flanges of the hinge holding member. Present on the base are two pivoted levers which move towards each other to compress a transverse damping device when a slider is moved rearwards towards the damping device due to the thrust of the wing which enters into the compartment of the holding member. Advantageously, the group reproduces the C-shape of the holding member with its flanges and it has a minimum overall dimension. | 05-14-2009 |
20100024162 | Engine Hood Hinge - An engine hood hinge for an engine hood can be transferred from an operating position into a protective position and pivoted about an engine hood pivot into an open position. The engine hood pivot is mounted on a supporting structure of a motor vehicle via a lever mechanism, and the engine hood, as it transfers from the operating position into the protected position, carries along the engine hood pivot. In order to provide a robust engine hood hinge, the lever mechanism is designed as a multi-bar linkage mechanism, in particular as a four-bar linkage mechanism. | 02-04-2010 |
20100024163 | BREAKAWAY HINGE RECEPTACLE - A breakaway hinge receptacle includes a base including first and second hinge arm mounting structures. The second hinge arm mounting structure is movable between an operative position and a breakaway position. A breakaway lever is connected to the base and includes inner and outer ends, wherein the inner end is operatively engaged with the second hinge arm mounting structure. A spring is operatively engaged between the breakaway lever and the base. The spring biases the breakaway lever to a first position in which the inner end of the breakaway lever biases the second mounting structure to its operative position. The second hinge arm mounting structure is selectively movable from its operative position to its breakaway position against the biasing force exerted by the inner end of said breakaway lever and the spring. Alternatively, the second hinge arm mounting structure is defined by or is connected to or is otherwise included on the inner end of the breakaway lever. | 02-04-2010 |
20100088849 | BACK CLOSURE - A back closure for a multi-use frame includes a base plate and a lever. The base plate has a first and second knuckle. A tab is defined within the base plate between the first and second knuckle. The tab has spring-bias. A lever is connected to the base plate for movement relative to the base plate. The lever and the base plate have a common axis for movement relative to one another. The lever includes a center knuckle which is positioned between the first and second knuckle of the base plate. The center knuckle defining a slot for receipt of the tab to provide snap action. In operation, a user moves the lever relative to the base plate about a common axis. The tab of the base plate engages the slot defined within the lever to prevent further travel of the lever. | 04-15-2010 |
20100154164 | PIVOTABLE SUPPORT SHAFT FOR DISPLAY - A pivotable support shaft for connecting a display with a base member and supporting the display is disclosed. The support is designed to enable the display to have different postures in working condition and package and transporting condition. For example, in the working condition, the screen of the display may be pivotable between a pitch-up angle of about 20° and a pitch-down angle of about −20°, and in the package and transporting condition, the screen of the display may be pivoted down to a pitch-down angle of about −90° where the screen faces downwardly to reduce the package size and improve the transportation stability. | 06-24-2010 |
20100257698 | HINGE FOR WINGS OR DOORS - Described is a hinge for wings or doors, in particular for electrical household appliances, comprising a first body ( | 10-14-2010 |
20110219585 | DOOR HINGE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A BUILDING DOOR - A door hinge has a knuckle defining a pivot axis, a pair of leaves extending from the knuckle and pivotal relative to each other about the axis, a housing fixable in a door jamb or door edge, and a holder in the housing. The holder is formed by a pair of bent sheet-metal brackets together forming a cavity in which engages one of the hinge leaves. One of the brackets has a face forming an acute angle to the axis. A pair of rotatable and externally threaded spindles extending across the cavity are threaded to the one leaf such that rotation of the spindles adjusts a position of the one leaf in the cavity relative to the holder. An adjustment screw threaded in the housing bears on the angled face so that the screw can be rotated to press against the face and cam the holder axially. | 09-15-2011 |
20130067685 | BREAKAWAY HINGE RECEPTACLE - A breakaway hinge receptacle includes a base including first and second hinge arm mounting structures. The second hinge arm mounting structure is movable between an operative position and a breakaway position. A breakaway lever is connected to the base and includes inner and outer ends, wherein the inner end is operatively engaged with the second hinge arm mounting structure. A spring is operatively engaged between the breakaway lever and the base. The spring biases the breakaway lever to a first position in which the inner end of the breakaway lever biases the second mounting structure to its operative position. The second hinge arm mounting structure is selectively movable from its operative position to its breakaway position against the biasing force exerted by the inner end of said breakaway lever and the spring. Alternatively, the second hinge arm mounting structure is defined by or is connected to or is otherwise included on the inner end of the breakaway lever. | 03-21-2013 |
20150096147 | HINGE FOR A FURNITURE PART AND ITEM OF FURNITURE - A hinge for a movable furniture part which is accommodatable on a furniture body of an item of furniture, wherein the hinge displays a first attachment part which, via an articulation mechanism, is pivotably connected to a second attachment part, wherein the articulation mechanism comprises articulation levers, and wherein a further lever which acts on a damper assembly of the hinge and which is pivotably accommodated by way of a separate axle, and, in the case of a pivoting movement according to the intended use of the hinge, is temporarily engaged on a guide portion on the hinge, wherein the further lever, prior to an engaging operation, assumes a predetermined ready position from which the further lever engages on the guide portion. | 04-09-2015 |
