A method of manufacturing a door hinge, which can improve productivity by applying both metal injection molding and additive manufacturing is disclosed. The method includes: preparing a first mixture of a first metal powder and a first binder, and a second mixture of a second metal powder and a second binder; molding the first mixture into a first body including a first connection member having a first pinhole; molding the first mixture into a second body including a second connection member having a second pinhole to communicate with the first pinhole; arranging the first body and the second body to align the first pinhole and the second pinhole along an axis to form a cavity; forming a pin member with the second mixture in the cavity by adding up droplets of the second mixture in the cavity; and sintering the first body, the second body, and the pin member.

Disclosed herein is a continuous hinge. The continuous hinge comprises a first hinge portion comprising a first plurality of knuckles; and a second hinge portion opposing the first hinge portion and comprising a second plurality of knuckles. The second plurality of knuckles is interdigitated with the first plurality of knuckles and pivotally coupled to the first plurality of knuckles. Each knuckle is a separate piece.

A method of manufacturing a door hinge, which can improve productivity by applying both metal injection molding and additive manufacturing is disclosed. The door hinge includes: a first body configured to include at least one first connection member in which a first pinhole is formed; a second body configured to include at least one second connection member in which a second pinhole communicating with the first pinhole is formed; and a pin member configured to be added and filled in a cavity formed by communicating the first pinhole of the first body and the second pinhole of the second body with each other so that the first body and the second body are foldably connected to each other.

A hinge of a motor-vehicle mobile part includes a first and a second hinge element mounted articulated with respect to each other about a hinge axis. The second hinge element is articulated to the first hinge element by an articulation portion having two pins defining the hinge axis, and projecting in opposite directions from two sides of the second hinge element. The first hinge element and the second hinge element are obtained by an additive manufacturing technique in an already reciprocally articulated condition, with the pins mounted with clearance within respective articulation seats formed on two flanges of the first hinge element adjacent to the sides of the second hinge element. The hinge also includes two bushing-shaped members, each interposed between one of said two pins and the respective articulation seat.

In a invisible hidden door hinge (1), a first connecting body (2a) and a second connecting body (2b) are connected together by an articulation device (3) which allows the relative movement between a condition of opening and a closed condition in which the first (2a) and the second (2b) connecting body define a seat in which the articulation device (3) is enclosed. At least one of the connection bodies (2a, 2b) comprises a support structure (4a, 4b) in which, for a position adjustment, at least one movable body (5a, 5b) is housed which is shaped from a respective single metal sheet in a single concave piece having concavity defined by a bottom (52a, 52b) and by side walls (53a, 53b) that realize a continuous peripheral edge of the bottom (52a, 52b), joined to the bottom (52a, 52b) without interruption of the material of which said respective single metal sheet consists of and surrounding the bottom (52a, 52b) on at least three consecutive sides.

A multi-piece hydroponic tower is provided which utilizes separate tower body and face plate components that are hingeably coupled together, thereby simplifying tower construction as well as tower maintenance. In addition to the hinge, the tower face plate(s) is held in place with a latch, e.g., a snap-fit fastener. A V-shaped groove may be included on either side of the tower, the grooves increasing the efficiency of delivering water and nutrients to the plants via the narrowed rear cavity wall(s). The V-shaped grooves may also be used as an alignment aid when coupling planters, harvesters, or other equipment to the tower.

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.
