20090064463 | Hinge for pivotally moving a laterally opening door - The invention relates to a hinge for hinged mounting of a laterally opening door of a cabinet, especially a hinge for a refrigerator. The hinge includes an articulated lever arrangement that is provided with a support element facing the door and a support element facing the cabinet. The support element facing the door is rotated by an opening angle from a closed position into an open position when the hinge is opened relative to the support element facing the cabinet. The support element facing the door is displaced by at least 65 mm, particularly at least 85 mm, preferably at least 95 mm, at an opening angle of ninety degrees. | 03-12-2009 |
20090106941 | Biaxial Door Hinge - Various embodiments of this invention disclose a biaxial rear door hinge of a vehicle that allows the vehicle door to open outward and then upward. This biaxial hinge system allows the rear door in a sedan to mimic the look of a vertically pivoting front door. | 04-30-2009 |
20100180403 | DUAL-AXIS HINGE MECHANISM - A dual-axis hinge mechanism includes a rotatable bracket, a first rotatable assembly rotatably assembled on the rotatable bracket, and a second rotatable assembly pivotally assembled to the rotatable bracket. The second rotatable assembly includes a fixed bracket, a pivot shaft rotatably extended through the fixed bracket, a first limiting member rotatably sleeved on the pivot shaft, and a second limiting member non-rotatably sleeved on the pivot shaft. The second limiting member is rotated a certain angle follow the pivot shaft in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and then drives the first limiting member to rotate with the second limiting member. The total of the rotatable angle of the second limiting member relative to the first limiting member and the rotatable angle of the first limiting member relative to the fixed bracket is about 360 degrees. | 07-22-2010 |
20110138576 | Diagonal Opening Hinge - A diagonal motion door hinge for a vehicle door includes an upper door connection plate having a second motion assembly pivotally mounted to the upper door connection plate. The axis of rotation of the second motion assembly is perpendicular to the upper door connection plate. A first motion assembly is mounted to the second motion assembly at a first motion hinge. The first motion assembly is adapted to connect to an upper portion of a vehicle door. The lower door connection plate includes a lower door connection plate stopper and a lower shock connection. The lower door connection plate stopper has a lower door double motion stopper surface. A point of contact between the ballpoint and the lower door double motion stopper surface is offset from a horizontal motion hinge pin axis to provide a first diagonal motion. | 06-16-2011 |
20130219663 | Hinge Apparatus And Electronic Device Comprising It - The present invention provides a hinge apparatus and an electronic device that includes the hinge apparatus. The hinge apparatus includes n shafts, arranged side by side, wherein n is an integer equal to or greater than 3; and multiple connecting elements for rotatably connecting each two adjacent shafts so as to form a shaft chain. The hinge apparatus can achieve a flexible shaft effect and can place the two portions connected by it in the same plane. | 08-29-2013 |
