A hinge for the controlled rotatable movement of a closing element, such as a door, a door leaf or the like, anchored to a stationary support structure, such as a wall, a floor, a frame or the like. The hinge comprises a hinge body and a pivot defining a first axis reciprocally coupled to allow the closing element to rotate between an open position and a closed position. The hinge further comprises a working chamber defining a second axis substantially perpendicular to said first axis and a plunger element sliding within the working chamber along the second axis between a position proximal to the bottom wall of the working chamber and a position distal therefrom. The pivot includes a pinion member, whereas the plunger element includes a rack member engaged with the pinion member.

A hinge for cold rooms or glass shutters includes a stationary support structure and a shutter movable between an open position and a closed position. The hinge includes a hinge body with a working chamber; a pivot coupled with the hinge body; a cam element unitary with the pivot; a plunger element sliding in the working chamber, the plunger element having a slider with an operative face interacting with the cam element; a counteracting elastic member acting on the plunger element to move it between a position proximal to the bottom wall of the working chamber and a position distal therefrom. The hinge body has a substantially plate-like shape. The cam element includes an elongated appendix extending from the pivot to come in contact engagement with the operative face of the slider. The pivot is placed at one of the side walls of the working chamber.

Provided is a refrigerator having only a second door opened/closed or having both of a first door and a second door opened/closed using one handing by allowing a latch device to fix the second door to the first door or release the second door from being fixed to the first door. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and has an opening formed therein, a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door to open/close the opening, a handle coupled to a front side of the second door to open/close the first door and the second door, and a latch device allowing the second door to be fixed and released to/from the first door.

A refrigerator hinge includes a hinge supporter configured to be mounted on a front surface of a cabinet of a refrigerator, the hinge supporter defining a fitting hole and including a bracket support portion that at least partially surrounds an edge of the fitting hole and protrudes from a front surface of the hinge supporter, a hinge bracket configured to be perpendicularly coupled to the hinge supporter, the hinge bracket including an insertion portion that protrudes from a first end of the hinge bracket and is configured to be inserted into the fitting hole, and a hinge pin configured to be coupled to a second end of the hinge bracket opposite the first end. When the hinge bracket is coupled to the hinge supporter, an inner edge of the bracket support portion contacts an outer circumferential surface of the hinge bracket.

A hinge for cold rooms or glass shutters includes a stationary support structure and a shutter movable between an open position and a closed position. The hinge includes a hinge body with a working chamber; a pivot coupled with the hinge body to rotate between the open and the closed positions of the shutter; a cam element unitary with the pivot; a plunger element sliding in the working chamber and having a slider with an operative face interacting with the cam element; a counteracting elastic member acting on the plunger element to move it between a position proximal to the bottom wall of the working chamber and a position distal therefrom. The cam element includes an elongated appendix extending from the pivot to come in contact engagement with the operative face of the slider. The pivot is placed at one of the side walls of the working chamber.

A box device includes a hinge assembly, and the hinge assembly is provided with a first sliding rail and a second sliding rail. The first sliding rail extends in a straight line; the second sliding rail extends along an ellipse. When a door body blocks an opening, the first sliding rail is obliquely arranged with respect to a plane where the opening is located, and the part of the second slide rail away from a box body is away from a pivoting side with respect to the first sliding rail, and the door body moves towards a target side of the box body during opening door body with respect to the box body from a state where the door body blocks the opening, to reduce the extent to which the door body exceeds an outer side wall of the box body.

A fold-out cabinet includes a folding back panel that is pivotably attached to side panels so that the back panel can be sandwiched at least partially between the side panels when in a folded configuration. When unfolded, top and bottom panels are attached to complete the cabinet structure. The fold-out cabinet can be rapidly assembled and takes up a minimal footprint when packaged for storage, shipping or merchandising. Optional accessories may be included with the cabinet, including a workbench type top surface, one or more shelves, one or more drawers, and one or more doors. When assembled, the cabinet is structurally stable and functional, but requires little time for complete assembly.
