A hinge assembly for a door of a household appliance has a first hinge and a second hinge. The first hinge includes a base portion and a door receiving portion. The base portion includes at least one elongated slot to receive a fastener. The elongated slot enables positioning of the door receiving portion. The second hinge includes a mounting block and a door plate. The door plate has a door receiving portion that has at least one elongated slot to enable positioning of the door receiving portion. The door plate is secured via at least one fastener to the mounting block. The mounting block is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the door plate for positioning the door.

A hinge includes a rotating shaft, two pivoting parts, and a seat. The rotating shaft includes a friction section and a protruding section coaxially extending from the friction section. Each of the pivoting parts includes a connecting piece and a sleeve piece. Each sleeve piece is extended from an edge side of the corresponding connecting piece, and bent and wrapped to form a sleeve hole. Each sleeve piece is configured to be sleeved on the friction section, and the two sleeve pieces on the peripheral surface of the friction section are bent and wrapped in different directions respectively. The seat includes a shaft hole. The friction section and the sleeve pieces are jointly arranged in the shaft hole, the connecting piece is fixed on the seat, and the protruding section protrudes out of the seat.

A sliding component including a sidewall including at least one low stiffness projection capable of elastic deformation, and at least one high stiffness projection capable of plastic deformation, where the low stiffness projection includes a radial face at an innermost or outermost surface adapted to contact a neighboring component.

An articulated attachment assembly and a rail system and method of installation for rail installations in which there is an elevational change between vertical supports, in which the articulated attachment assembly eliminates the need for field mitering of components and provides instead a first articulated hinge assembly having a first mounting block to be attached to the first support, a second mounting block to be attached to the first rail connection block, and a hinge member to couple the second mounting block to the first mounting block and enable the second mounting block, the first rail connection block, and the rail to pivot together relative to the first mounting block and the first support.

An appliance includes an outer cabinet having a front aperture for accessing a processing space. A door selectively engages the front aperture in a closed position to enclose the processing space. A hinge includes a cabinet mount attached to the outer cabinet and having a stop that defines an open position of the door. A hinge pin extends through the cabinet mount to define a rotational axis of the hinge. A sheet metal flange is press fit onto the hinge pin and is fixedly attached to the door. The sheet metal flange is wrapped around the hinge pin and is attached to the door via fasteners. The pin includes a protrusion that selectively engages the stop of the cabinet mount in the open position.

A door hinge apparatus of a vehicle may include a rail plate provided on one side of a vehicle body corresponding to an end portion of a door of the vehicle and formed with a rail in a width direction of the vehicle, a hinge slide unit including a slide bracket provided on the rail and a door hinge bracket provided on the door where the slide bracket includes a guide slot formed in a diagonal direction of the slide bracket and the slide bracket and the door hinge bracket are pivotally coupled each other through a hinge shaft, and an actuator having a roller configured at a rod to roll along the guide slot so that the slide bracket moves along the rail.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative hinges, door assemblies, storage bins, and vehicles. In an illustrative embodiment a hinge includes a hinge bracket, a hinge pin, a hinge arm, and a detent assembly. The hinge arm is rotatably connected to the hinge bracket via the hinge pin. The detent assembly is adapted to define a detent position of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket that is between an open position and a closed position of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket. The detent assembly includes a detent plate and a plunger assembly. The detent plate includes a recess formed therein. The plunger assembly includes an end that is biased at least partially into the recess while circumferentially aligned therewith to define the detent position.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus that flexibly couples a ramp to a boat dock and to methods for constructing this apparatus. These methods may also include steps directed to selecting material strengths or sizes when designing an assembly that attaches the ramp to the boat dock. By allowing relative up-down motion between a boat dock and a ramp using materials with particular characteristics, apparatus built in a manner consistent with the present disclosure are much stronger than conventional apparatus that connect a ramp to a boat dock. Apparatus consistent with the present disclosure prevent property damage, personal injury, and death that are commonly associated with conventional boat ramps and docks. Apparatus of the present disclosure increase the safety of boat docks and increase the robustness of connection points where a ramp meets a boat dock.
