A cover device for covering the angle formed between the edge of a hinged door and a door frame includes first and second elongate bodies, each body having substantially parallel sides and divided by hinge lines parallel to the sides into a plurality of elongate panels. The first body is mountable at one end to the door, and the second body is mountable at one end to a frame relative to which the door hinges. The hingeable connection between the bodies is by at least one longitudinal channel and at least one longitudinal protrusion which locates within the channel to be removeably held within it but able to move longitudinally with respect to it, and thereby to act as a hinge whilst enabling the relative longitudinal movement between the elongate bodies.

A hinge to pivotably connect a motor vehicle door to a body of the motor vehicle. The hinge includes a bolt, a first hinge half rotationally connected to a bolt, a second hinge half, a bushing, composed of an electrically insulating material, arranged on the second hinge half to rotationally connect the second hinge half to the bolt, and an electrically conductive component arranged between the bolt and the second hinge half to bridge the bushing and facilitate electrical contact between the bolt and the second hinge half.

A hinge assembly for pivotally joining the opposing halves of a carryable case, especially a case for housing an electronic apparatus. The disclosed hinge is adapted to convey electrical conductors from one half of the case to the other, while protecting them from damage by excessive flexing, abrasion, moisture, and debris.

A washing machine lid and a hinge for attaching the washing machine lid. The washing machine includes a cabinet and a rotatable lid. A hinge rotatably connects the lid to a top panel or front panel of the cabinet. The hinge includes a shaft, a housing defining a cavity for receiving an end of the shaft, and a connecting member extending from the housing such that the housing and the connecting member are rotatable around the shaft. The connecting member includes one or more tabs. The lid includes a pocket, the pocket receives the hinge, the pocket defines one or more sockets for receiving the one or more tabs, and the one or more tabs are biased into engagement with the one or more sockets.

A multi-piece hydroponic tower utilizing separate tower body and face plate components that are hingeably coupled together, thereby simplifying tower construction as well as tower maintenance. In addition to the hinge, the tower face plate(s) is held in place with a latch, e.g., a snap-fit fastener. A V-shaped groove may be included on either side of the tower, the grooves increasing the efficiency of delivering water and nutrients to the plants via the narrowed rear cavity wall(s). The V-shaped grooves may also be used as an alignment aid when coupling planters, harvesters, or other equipment to the tower.

A hinge for the rotatable movement of a closing element, such as a door, a window, a shutter or the like, between a closing position and an opening position, the closing element being anchorable to a stationary support structure, such as a wall, a floor, a frame or similar, includes a hinge body anchorable to the stationary support structure or the closing element, and a pivot defining an axis and anchorable to the closing element or the stationary support structure. The pivot and the hinge body are coupled so as to cause the closing element to rotate between the opening and the closing position. The hinge body includes a working chamber defined along the axis to house the pivot.

Door hinge, configured by a base body (3) having a flat surface (4), to be joined, by means of an adhesive or screws, to the upper and lower base of the piece of furniture, and a circular cavity (8) to receive, fitted therein, the lower or upper edge end (2a) of the door, either directly through insertion of a projection (9) of the door, dimensioned for that purpose, or through a rotation cylindrical part (11). The rotation cylindrical part (11) is an independent piece or it is joined integrally to the upper or lower edges end (2a) of the door (2) or it is part of the door itself. The edge of the base body (3) of the hinge (1) is provided with a recess (13) suitable for receiving, fitted therein, a projection (14) of the door in a matching position, intended to secure closing thereof.

A hinge is arranged to move two panels, such as a stationary fence panel and a gate, between an open position and a closed position. When the hinge is in a closed position, the posts to which the hinge is attached are maintained in substantial contact along substantially the entire longitudinal length of the posts, thereby preventing small animals from passing through the fence. The hinge has two hinge halves, each having a finger portion arranged to interlace with a finger portion of the other hinge half, each finger of the finger portions defining an opening, and an arcuate post-engaging portion extending for at least 90 degrees and defining a longitudinal opening for receiving an end post, wherein each longitudinal opening faces the other when the hinge is in a closed position. The hinge also has a hinge pin passing through and within the openings allowing rotation.

The present invention is directed to a 4-bar kinematic link component and method for forming the 4-bar kinematic link using a single rotary molding tool. The invention eliminates the need to form individual components of the bracket from several different tools, which will then requires additional assembly steps. The 4-bar kinematic link is formed from two different materials each having a different in mold shrinkage value. This allows for hinge pins to be formed through a base component in a way that will prevent sticking of the components together thereby allowing the parts to have it relative to one another using the hinge pin. The final component is a 4-bar kinematic link that can be used as a 4 bar link mechanism for providing motion.

A pivotable corner element for a radiation protection wall comprises at least one hinge defining a pivot axis and two side elements connected via the at least one hinge, wherein the side elements can be pivoted relative to one another around the pivot axis. Upon pivoting of the side elements, an intermediate space between the side elements results depending on a respective pivot position. The corner element has at least one blind arranged in the intermediate space, wherein the at least one blind is displaceable relative to the side elements in a way that the at least one blind at least partially covers the intermediate space independently from the respective pivot position.
