A hinge device includes a fixed element with a plate that can be anchored to a stationary supporting structure, and a movable element with a hinge body that can be anchored to a closing element. Adjustment elements for the position of the hinge body and the plate include a pair of opposite longitudinal projections integrally joined to a pin that can be inserted into a slot defined in the plate. A pair of adjustment grub screws at the slot promotes the joined rotation of the longitudinal projections and the pin. The hinge body further includes a seat, for the mutual movement of the pin and of the hinge body, with a damping system interacting by friction with the pin to differentially dampen the rotation of the pin and the hinge body. The hinge device may be fixed to the closing element with a pair of clamping elements.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a body provided with a storage compartment, a door unit provided with a first door provided with an opening and rotatably coupled to the body, and a second door configured to open or close the opening and provided in front of the first door, a latch unit provided in the door unit and configured to selectively fix the second door to the first door each other, and a first hinge unit provided in the body to support a rotation of the first door and provided with a push portion configured to selectively operate the latch unit according to the rotation of the first door.

A printing apparatus includes: a first component; a second component; a first housing configured to house the first component; a second housing configured to house the second component and movably supported on an installation surface on which the printing apparatus is installed; and a connector configured to connect the second housing openably and closably to the first housing in a horizontal direction and to allow a tilt of a turning axis of the second housing to the first housing and an upward and downward movement of the second housing to the first housing upon opening and closing of the second housing.

The invention relates to a double articulated device and system comprising at least one active element provided with an edge (M), with two points (M1) and (M2), where (M1) is different from (M2), a rotating element connected to the edge (M) and a rotating fixture positioned in the point (M1) of the edge (M) and connected to the rotating element, in which, during actuation, the active element simultaneously describes a rotational movement with an angle β around the rotating element, and a partial pivoting movement in the vertical plane around the rotating fixture, so that the point (M2) of the edge (M) describes an angle a between a value α.sub.max corresponding to the “open” position ES0 and a value α.sub.min which corresponds to an ES1 “closed” position of the device.

A modular door assembly is adapted for installation on existing open frame vehicles formed of tubular members. A novel tubular hinge construction provides support for the door assembly while allowing rotational movement of the door in use. Alternative vehicle elements may also be secured to and operable on the novel hinge.

A door hinge is provided to slant such that a free end of a door is rotated obliquely upward while the door is opened, and an energizing type balancer to assist an opening/closing operation of the door is provided. A hinge axis of the door hinge slants relative to a vertical line, having an upper side thereof being positioned on an inward side in a vehicle width direction and on a forward side in a vehicle longitudinal direction such that a locus of the free end of the door while the door is opened becomes substantially horizontal or lowers in an opening direction at a point before the door is opened to a maximum open position.

A poly axial hinge comprising a mounting plate, a first arm pivotally coupled to a panel mounting element, a second arm pivotally coupled in an scissoring manner with the first arm by a main pivot, and a third arm pivotally coupled to the second arm at a location part way between a first end of said second arm and the main pivot. The mounting plate includes at least one rigidly fixed first gear, and the third arm includes gear teeth directly or indirectly coupled together with the fixed gear, such that rotation of the second arm with respect to said mounting plate causes rotation of the first arm with respect to the second arm, thereby driving the poly axle hinge open and/or closed.
