Laundry treating apparatus
A laundry treating apparatus includes a door, where a first rotational axis forms a rotation center of the door, and a second rotational axis forms another rotation center of the door. The second rotational axis is provided to rotate the door in a direction different from a direction in which the door is rotated about the first rotational axis. A first switching unit is configured to connect the door to the first rotational axis, and a second switching unit is configured to connect the door to the second rotational axis when the first switching unit is moved in a direction in which the door is separated from the first rotational axis.

JUNCTION BOX ASSEMBLY
A junction box assembly including a box and a selectively displaceable lid, the lid including one or more articulating lock sockets and one or more lock hinge sockets. Hinge arms can be pivotally coupled to the box, with a first hinge arm also being pivotally secured to an articulating hinge socket to accommodate pivotal displacement of the lid from the box, as well as pivotal displacement of the lid about a portion of the first hinge arm. A second hinge arm can be selectively removable from secure engagement with the lock hinge assembly. Further, a tamper resistant pin can extend through the upper head portion of the second hinge arm when the second hinge arm is engaged with the lock hinge socket so as to lock the second hinge arm to the lid, and thereby secure the lid at a closed position on the box.

Refrigerator with hinge assembly having an external hinge pin
A refrigerator is provided herein including a cabinet and a door. At least one hinge assembly is configured to hinge the door to the cabinet. The at least one hinge assembly includes a mounting block coupled to the door, a hinge bracket coupled to the cabinet, and a hinge pin disposed between the mounting block and the hinge bracket and coupled thereto such that the entirety of the hinge pin is external to the door.
Traffic door construction and method of making same
A frame for a traffic door having a leading edge, trailing edge, top edge, and bottom edge. The frame includes a trailing edge frame member having first and second ends and configured to extend along the trailing edge of the traffic door. The trailing edge frame member is a monolithic body having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion extends between the first and second ends in a continuous and linear manner. The trailing edge frame member further includes a first cutout from the second portion of the trailing edge frame member adjacent the first end and a second cutout from the second portion of the trailing edge frame member adjacent the second end to define a central tab. A traffic door having such a frame is disclosed. A method of forming a traffic door with such a frame is also disclosed.
REFRIGERATOR WITH HINGE ASSEMBLY HAVING AN EXTERNAL HINGE PIN
A refrigerator includes at least one hinge assembly configured to hinge a door to a cabinet. The at least one hinge assembly includes a mounting block coupled to, and that extends at least partially along, the door. A hinge bracket is coupled to the cabinet. The hinge bracket is coupled to a top panel of the cabinet and includes an upward extending flange that spans a width of the cabinet and that is coplanar with a front panel of the door. A hinge pin is disposed between the mounting block and the hinge bracket and is coupled thereto such that the entirety of the hinge pin is external to the door and is positioned between the door and the hinge bracket.
REFRIGERATOR WITH DUAL SWING DOOR
An enclosure has a door that can be opened from one of two sides by the operation of one of two handles that extend along opposing vertical sides of the door. Each handle can move corresponding upper and lower latch bars that allow that same side of the door to be selectively released from one set of hinge pins that are affixed to the enclosure and allow the door to pivot about another set of hinge pins on the opposite side. Guide pins on the hinge side engage arcuate guide channels as the door pivots, preventing the door from being detached once pivoted about one of the axes. When the latch bars are moved to the release position on one side, the latch bars on the opposite side are prevented from being moved to the release position at the same time.

Furniture fitting
A furniture fitting includes at least one rotatably mounted screw for fixing the furniture fitting to a furniture part. The furniture fitting further includes at least one drive element separate from the screw, and the drive element is movement-coupled to the screw and has a tool receiving device. The at least one screw is configured to be driven by rotating the tool receiving device with the aid of a tool.
