A barrier that includes four structurally different corner connections for fixing a gate frame of the barrier to and between opposing vertical surfaces. A first connection includes a headed straight pin engaging a pivot hook and socket, a second connection includes a headed straight pin engaging a socket, a third connection includes headless bent pin engaging a socket and a limiter, and a fourth connection includes a headless bent pin engaging a socket.

A system for improved cable management is disclosed in several example embodiments. The disclosed embodiments describe example structures for supporting cables, for example telecommunications and fiber optic cables, within a cable storage cabinet. The disclosed embodiments also describe a door for a cable storage cabinet. The example door includes a hinge control and handle system which allows the door to be opened along either side to therefore allow the door to be opened either way from a single handle. The disclosed embodiments also describes an indicator system which informs a user when the door for the cable storage cabinet is in either a closed position or an open position. Each of these embodiments improves the utility and safety of cable management, particularly within cable storage cabinets.

A pivot assembly includes a fixing base, a pivot portion, a center shaft, a compression spring and two hollow abrasion proof pieces. The fixing base is equipped with an isolating board defining a fixing hole. The pivot portion defines a pivoting hole in alignment with the fixing hole. The center shaft is inserted into the fixing hole and the pivoting hole. The compression spring is mounted around the center shaft. The two hollow abrasion proof pieces are sleeved around the center shaft. The two abrasion proof pieces are located between the isolating board and the pivot portion. The compression spring is located between the two abrasion proof pieces. An electronic device includes the pivot assembly.

A hinge assembly for use on a grill that permits the selective removal of the lid from the bowl, the hinge assembly including a stationary bowl bracket affixed to the bowl, a pivotable middle bracket pivotably mounted to the bowl bracket and a removable lid bracket affixed to the lid and removably secured to the middle bracket.

A gate includes a gate barrier, an upper hinge configured to rotatably support the gate barrier about a rotation axis, and a lower hinge configured to rotatable support the gate barrier about the rotation axis. The upper hinge portion may include a first upper hinge portion having a first receptacle and a first ramp disposed adjacent the first receptacle, and a second upper hinge portion having an upper hinge projection configured to engage the first receptacle to inhibit rotation of the first upper hinge portion. The lower hinge may include a first lower hinge portion coupled to the gate barrier, the first lower hinge portion having a receptacle and a lower hinge projection extending from a base of the receptacle, and a second lower hinge portion having an annular projection configured to engage the receptacle and receive the lower hinge projection.

A furniture drive includes base body to be fixed to a furniture carcass, an actuating arm to be fixed to a movable furniture part, and a locking device for locking the actuating arm to the base body. The locking device includes a locking element movable between a locking position, in which the actuating arm is locked to the base body, and a demounting position, in which the actuating arm can be demounted from the base body. An actuating device can preferably be actuated with a tool, for moving the locking element from the locking position into the demounting position. The furniture drive includes a releasable securing device configured to prevent a movement of the locking element from the locking position into the demounting position upon an actuation of the actuating device.

Illustrated and described is a hinge for releasably and pivotably connecting a wing, in particular in the form of a door and/or a flap, to a base part, in particular in the form of a frame, including: a hinge pin extending along a pin axis, and at least one pin-receiving element, which has a pin receptacle for at least partially receiving the hinge pin, wherein the hinge pin is adjustable relative to the pin-receiving element, at least substantially perpendicularly to the pin axis, between a pivoting position in which it is at least partially received in the pin receptacle and a mounting position in which it is arranged outside of the pin receptacle, wherein the pin-receiving element and the hinge pin are pivotable relative to one another about the pin axis in the pivoting position, and wherein a securing element is provided which is adjustable between a securing position for securing the hinge pin with respect to an unintentional adjustment from the pivoting position into the mounting position at least substantially perpendicularly to the pin axis and a release position for releasing the adjustment, at least substantially perpendicularly to the pin axis, of the hinge pin from the pivoting position into the mounting position. Also illustrated and described is a system having such a hinge.

The present invention is a novel hinge design that allows unique operation of the lid for a container, box, storage chest, ice chest or similar item. In addition to the lid being able to flip up on two hinges as is traditional, the present invention allows the lid to swivel to one side or the other, while remaining in the horizontal plane. This is accomplished, in the exemplary embodiment, by means of two inventive ball-and-socket hinges each of which can have its ball disengaged from its socket. If one ball-and-socket hinge is thus disengaged, the lid is then free to rotate horizontally around the other ball-and-socket hinge, thereby swiveling the lid to one side and effectively opening the box or container. The lid, when opened in this fashion, is amply supported by the end of the box over which it sits, and can act as a table or flat surface for organizing items as they are transferred to or from the box or container. The horizontal lid can swivel in either direction, providing broad access to either end of the container. If broader access is desired, the lid can also be completely removed by simultaneously disengaging both hinges.
