A hinge is provided, which comprises: at least one hinge pin defining a hinge axis in a first dimension; a hinge leaf; a housing comprising at least one recess for receiving a portion of the hinge leaf; and at least one user adjustable fastener arranged to enable user adjustment of the positioning of the hinge leaf within the at least one recess in a second dimension, wherein the second dimension is orthogonal to the first dimension.

A damping mechanism is provided, including a damper housing, a damping assembly provided within the damper housing, and a damper cover assembly fitted to at least a portion of the damper housing. The damper cover assembly includes a damper cover and at least one connection member attached thereto. A recess is provided on a rearward side of the damper cover, and at least one receptacle is provided, defining an opening on a bottom surface of the damper cover and being adapted to receive and retain therein at least a portion of the at least one connection member of the damper cover assembly. The recess of the damper cover and the connection member of the damper cover assembly are cooperatively adapted to provide a mechanical connection between the damping mechanism and a hinge cup of a hinge assembly in a removable manner.

A vehicle door hinge for a vehicle door opening vertically includes a first hinge part attached to a vehicle frame having a pivot attachment means, a second hinge part attached to the door attached to the pivot attachment means to allow the second hinge part to rotate the door in an opening or closing direction, a stopper part attached to the pivot attachment means at a distance from a mass centre of the stopper part, a locking mechanism for locking the stopper part position relative the second hinge part. The locking mechanism is moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The stopper part in the unlocked position is arranged to be moved by gravity to a resting position where it is adjacent or abutting the first hinge part and stopped by the first hinge part from rotating in the opening direction but free to rotate in the other direction.

An external hinge is provided for pivotally connecting a door to a sidewall while obtaining at least 180 degrees of opening movement or degree of rotation. The external hinge is substantially concealed behind the sidewall and the door in a fully closed position of the door. In one embodiment, the external hinge comprises a first curved arm extending between a first pivot pin of a first part mounted on an interior surface of the sidewall and a second pivot pin of a second part mounted on an interior surface of the door. The external hinge further comprises a second curved arm extending between a third pivot pin of the first part mounted on the interior surface of the sidewall and a fourth pivot pin of the second part mounted on the interior surface of the door.

An assembly including a furniture hinge having a first fitting portion configured to be fixed to a first furniture part, a second fitting portion configured to be fixed to a second furniture part, and a hinge axis hingedly connecting the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion to one another, and at least one cover configured to at least partially cover a gap formed between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. A fastening device for fixing the cover to the furniture hinge is provided, and the fastening device includes an arresting device for fixing the fastening device on different positions of the cover in a longitudinal direction of the cover.

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a first casing, a second casing, and a hinge which couples them rotatably from a first state to a second state. The hinge includes a first shaft, a first rotation engaging portion, a second shaft, a second rotation engaging portion, a housing, and a transmission unit. The transmission unit links the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion and rotates them with respect to a rotation angle of the housing from the first state to the second state.
