An assembly line (40) includes a transport system having pallets (70), a riveting machine (100) with a stop device (1005) and a riveting device (1010), and a crushing head (1011). The stop device (1005) and the riveting device (1010) flank the pallet (70) on opposite sides, while a stop (1006) of the stop device (1005) and the crushing head (1011) are translatable to approach the article from opposite sides during assembly.

A piano hinge can include a first hinge portion configured to attach to a first door edge, the first portion having a first front face, a first jamb face extending rearward from the first front face, and one or more first hinge knuckles extending from either or both of the first front face and the first jamb face. The first front face can be configured to extend over the one or more first hinge knuckles in a lateral direction such that the first front face hides the one or more first hinge knuckles behind first front face.

An object is to provide a hinge which can attach a supporting part for supporting rotatably a holder part easily to the holder part holding the door. A hinge comprises a holder part for holding a door (front-side body receiving a left-and-right adjustment segment and back-side body), a supporting part for supporting rotatably the holder part (resin bush inserted in a rotation shaft), and a connection part (resin catcher) for connecting the holder part to the supporting part, and the resin catcher comprises an attachment part (recesses) for attaching to the holder part and a pawl for gripping elastically the supporting part.

A multi-piece hydroponic tower comprised of a tower body defining a tower cavity, where the tower cavity provides a passageway for a water/nutrient mix, and a tower face plate hingeably coupled to the tower body. The tower face plate is positionable relative to the tower body in a tower cavity closed position and a tower cavity open position. The tower face plate includes a plurality of plant container cut-outs configured to accept plant containers. A fastener temporarily latches tower face plate to the tower body when the tower face plate is in the tower cavity closed position.

The first front face can be configured to extend over the one or more first hinge knuckles in a lateral direction such that the first front face hides the one or more first hinge knuckles behind first front face.

A vehicle door hinge that has a desorption function while enabling weight reduction and increasing production efficiency. The vehicle door hinge comprises a base member (2U) fixed to the door-side of the vehicle, a base member (3U) fixed to the vehicle body side; a hinge shaft (4U) rotatably connects the base members (2U, 3U) to each other; a screwed body (5U) that is detachably screwed in the axial direction to the hinge shaft (4U) so that the base member (3U) and the hinge shaft (4U) rotate integrally; bushes (6U, 7U) fitted into a shaft holes (22U) of the base member (2U) so that the base member (2U) and the hinge shaft can rotate relative to each other; and a retaining portion (8U) for preventing the hinge shaft (4U) from coming off from the shaft hole (22U) of the base member. The base members (2U, 3U) are cast from aluminum alloy.

The present invention is directed to a 4-bar kinematic link component and method for forming the 4-bar kinematic link using a single rotary molding tool. The invention eliminates the need to form individual components of the bracket from several different tools, which will then requires additional assembly steps. The 4-bar kinematic link is formed from two different materials each having a different in mold shrinkage value. This allows for hinge pins to be formed through a base component in a way that will prevent sticking of the components together thereby allowing the parts to have it relative to one another using the hinge pin. The final component is a 4-bar kinematic link that can be used as a 4 bar link mechanism for providing motion.

A door hinge mount of a side external panel for a vehicle, may provide the door hinge mount, capable of being formed of a material, requiring low initial investment expenses, and securing the same level of rigidity as in the case where a steel material is used.

The invention consists of a novel cooler hinge construction that allows for the cooler's lid to be removed and reattached easily. One benefit of such an assembly is that either side of the lid may be used facing upwards, depending on what the user is doing at the time. The lid is attached to the hinge by a clamp assembly that pinches the lid and holds it in place. The jaws of the clamp are housed within identical grooves on the top and bottom of the lid, allowing the lid to be pulled out of the clamp when the cooler is open and to be subsequently reattached by sliding the lid back into the clamp. This functionality allows for the lid to be removed and reattached easily, but also holds it securely in place when the cooler is closed because the lid is unable to move laterally. The clamp also serves as a controlled fail point for the invention, allowing the lid to break away before the hinge or clamp are damaged.
