An appliance includes a cabinet and an inner door. The inner door is configured such that an outer door panel is mountable on the inner door. An adjustable hinge rotatably couples the inner door to the cabinet. The adjustable hinge includes a movable door balance adjuster. A visual scale graphic is positioned proximate the adjustable hinge. The visual scale graphic includes a plurality of outer door panel weight indicia and a plurality of door balance adjuster position indicia. Each of the plurality of door balance adjuster position indicia corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of outer door panel weight indicia.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet: a door formed to open and close the cabinet; an upper moving part coupled to the door and formed to be moved in a first direction with respect to the cabinet; a lower moving part disposed under the upper moving part, including an upper adjustment member configured to move the upper moving part in the first direction, and guiding the upper moving part to be linearly moved in the first direction; and a fixing part fixed to the cabinet under the lower moving part, including a lower adjustment member configured to move the lower moving part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and guiding the lower moving part to be linearly moved in the second direction.

A furniture hinge includes 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, at least one hinge axis by which the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are hingedly connected to one another, and at least one adjustment device for adjusting a position of the first fitting portion relative to the second fitting portion. The adjustment device includes at least one movably-supported adjustment element, and the position of the first fitting portion relative to the second fitting portion can be adjusted by an actuation of the at least one adjustment element. Upon actuation of the at least one adjustment element, the position of the first fitting portion and the position of the second fitting portion can be synchronously and symmetrically adjusted in relation to the at least one hinge axis.

An improved universal zero-moment support and adapter plate assembly is shown and described. In one embodiment, the assembly comprises an adjustable zero-moment support configured together with an off-axis adjustment. In other embodiments, an adapter and support assembly includes an external fitting, an adapter plate and an adjustable zero-moment support.

The invention relates to a two-part hinge device for a door or a window, comprising a first housing part (20) and a second housing part (30), which in the assembled state form a door hinge housing (19), and a rod (15) which extends in the first housing part (20) and second housing part (30) along the axial direction (60) thereof, wherein the rod (15) has at least three successive—a first, a second and a third—rod sections (16, 17, 18). The first rod section (16) is supported in the first housing part (20) by a clamping element (50), and the third rod section (18) supports the second housing part (30). In the region of the second rod section (17), the rod (15) is adjustable relative to the first housing part (20) in two directions at an angle to each other and independently of each other, and the two directions at an angle to each other are arranged transversely to the axial direction (60) of the rod (15).

Embodiments of the present invention are related to an improved gate hinge with a post assembly including an L-Bracket, a post assembly extension, and a swing axis bolt with a T-Joint. A gate assembly includes an L-Bracket and gate assembly extension. The post assembly and gate assembly are connected via connecting bolt. The swing axis bolt is oriented vertically on the post assembly extension and the connecting bolt is oriented horizontally on the gate assembly extension. The connecting bolt connects the gate assembly to the post assembly at the T-Joint. The gate assembly extension rotates via the T-Joint on the swing axis bolt. The post assembly extension distally extends a bottom portion of a gate attached to the gate assembly relative to a top portion of the gate. The distal extension creates an elevated angle between the gate bottom and ground when the improved gate hinge is actuated.

A furniture fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a furniture carcass, and a second fitting portion to be fixed to a movable furniture part, the two fitting portions being pivotally connected by a hinge axis member. The first fitting portion can be inserted into a recess in the furniture carcass, and/or the second fitting portion can be inserted into a recess in the movable furniture part. The first fitting portion and/or the second fitting portion includes a longitudinal housing having two end sections spaced apart. The hinge axis member is arranged on a first end section of the housing, and the first fitting portion and/or the second fitting portion includes a fastening device having a movably-mounted actuating element formed as a rotatable screw. By actuating the actuating element, at least one fitting portion can be fixed within the recess on both end sections of the housing.

A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be secured on a furniture carcass; a furniture hinge which has two fitting parts interconnected via at least one joint axle; and a locking device, by means of which one of the fitting parts of the furniture hinge can be locked, in particular releasably, to the mounting body. The fitting part of the furniture hinge that is to be locked on the mounting body has three plates arranged one above the other, a first of the three plates faces towards the mounting body in a locked position, a third of the three plates occupies an outer position, a second of the three plates occupies a central position between the first of the three plates and the third of the three plates, and at least three pin-like retaining parts are provided, which are mounted on the second of the three plates.
