A leafless joint apparatus that couples an enclosure housing to an enclosure cover or door. Similar to previous hinge apparatuses, the leafless joint apparatus can include a knuckle and a pintel or pin to facilitate pivot operations (e.g., the cover pivoting open). However, the leafless joint apparatus does not rely on leafs that attach by means of fasteners (e.g., screws or the like) and therefore can facilitate sliding operations (e.g., the cover can slide open). Thus, the leafless joint apparatus can facilitate access to an interior of the enclosure by way repositioning the cover of the enclosure via a pivot or hinging operation or via a sliding operation that can partially or fully expose the interior of the enclosure and even, if desired, slide entirely off, decoupling from the enclosure housing.

A hinge assembly for a vacuum insulated door includes a hinge plate that defines an aperture, and a bracket has a body and is configured to be welded with the vacuum insulated door. A hinge pin is operably coupled to the body of the bracket and rotatably coupled within the hinge plate. A bushing is disposed within the aperture defined by the hinge plate and rotatably coupled to the hinge pin.

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.

A vehicle including a vehicle cargo area includes a hinge pin in a wall of the vehicle cargo area, a cargo cover defining first and second slots, a single-piece clip which includes a first fixing feature positioned in the first slot, and a second fixing feature positioned in the second slot. The clip defines a channel receiving the hinge pin.

A hinge has first and second leaf assemblies pivoted on each other and a link assembly interconnecting the first and second leaf assemblies. At least one of the first and second leaf assemblies has upper and lower mounts forming a cavity in which a respective end of the link assembly is pivoted, and at least one of the mounts of the one leaf assembly is formed with a recess opening into the cavity. According to the invention a body of foaming fire-protection material is provided in the recess so that when heated the body expands and fills the cavity with fire-protective foam.

The invention relates to a hinge for a furniture item or a domestic appliance, in particular for a washing machine, having a first hinge part (10) and a second hinge part (40), wherein the two hinge parts (10, 40) are interconnected in an articulated manner by means of two hinge levers (20, 30), wherein a base part (70) is provided that has a fastening portion (71) with fastening elements (72) and also has a holding receptacle (77), wherein the second hinge part (40) is held on the holding receptacle (77), wherein the base part (70) has a fastening portion (75) that interacts with a holding element (41.1) of the second hinge part (40) in order to bring about a releasable connection between the second hinge part (40) and the base part (70), wherein the holding receptacle (77) has a guide (76.1), and wherein, with the connection released, the second hinge part (40) is guided on the base part (70) along the guide (76.1), preferably in a linearly adjustable manner, by means of at least one sliding piece (43). Such a hinge allows heavy doors to be hinged on in a simple manner.

The present invention relates to security systems and methods for vehicles and/or vehicle users that prevent the theft of vehicles, and/or that guarantee the security of the vehicle user. In order to achieve the above, the system of the present invention has an enabling system that controls the ignition of the vehicle, and/or a device for helmets intended for the monitoring of the security of the user, and makes it possible to determine, for example, whether the user is wearing the helmet and is using the same correctly, or whether the vehicle user has suffered an impact. Specifically, the system of the present invention has an interactive system (mobile device) associated with the user which, depending on the need, signals the enabling system to enable the vehicle ignition, provided that at least one condition is fulfilled, where a condition may be that the interactive system is close to the enabling system and/or emits an alert message to the external device of a third party if any novelty is detected in the helmet device.

The present disclosure relates to a charge flap arrangement comprising an engagement feature, a sealing unit for said charge flap arrangement, a hinge arm assembly for said charge flap arrangement and a method for assembling said hinge arm assembly.

A hinge device and an electronic device having the same are provided. The hinge device includes a hinge element, first connecting element, and second connecting element. The first connecting element includes first, second and third segments. The second segment is disposed between the first and third segments. The third segment is connected to the hinge element. The first segment includes a first connecting plate and first folding plate between which a first angle less than 180 degrees but greater than 0 degree is defined. The first folding plate has one side connected to the first connecting plate. The second connecting element includes a first fixing plate, first boss, and first extending arm. The first extending arm has one end connected to the hinge element and the other end connected to the first fixing plate. The first boss is connected to the first fixing plate.
