A hinge apparatus for a cover of an image forming apparatus has a hinge body with supporting brackets, movably inserted into a coupling hole positioned in a main body of the image forming apparatus, a hinge cam connected to the cover and pivotably connected to the supporting brackets, and a pressure device disposed at the hinge body to press the hinge cam. Accordingly, the hinge apparatus can be implemented with a simple and easy assembly operation, since it is not a complicated structural connection among the component parts of the hinge apparatus.

A shower door hinge assembly includes a mount, an upper member, a lower member, a body, a plurality of gears, and a stop member. The mount is configured to be coupled to a fixed structure. The upper member is coupled to an upper portion of the mount, and the lower member is coupled to a lower portion of the mount. The body is rotatably coupled to the mount and is configured to be coupled to a pivotable shower door, wherein the body includes an inner wall having a plurality of splines defining a ring gear. The plurality of gears are disposed in the body and are configured to permit relative rotational movement between the body and the upper and lower members. The stop member is removably coupled between the inner wall of the body and one or more gears of the plurality of gears, and is configured to be selectively removed from, and repositioned within, the body to set a rotational endpoint for a pivotable shower door.

A hinge for operably coupling panels of a garage door may include a first leaf assembly, a second leaf assembly, a tubular pivot support operably coupling the first leaf assembly to the second leaf assembly, a shaft cover, and a roller assembly. The roller assembly may include a roller and a shaft. The shaft may be configured to pass through the tubular pivot support with the shaft cover disposed between the shaft and the tubular pivot support. The shaft cover may include a substantially cylindrically shaped shaft cover body extending from a first axial end to a second axial end of the shaft cover, and a relief slot formed in the shaft cover body extending from the first axial end to the second axial end.

A closing hinge device includes a fixed element, a movable element and a pair of counteracting elastic members. One of the movable element or fixed element includes a generally box-shaped hinge body with a pair of working chambers to slidably house the counteracting elastic members. The other of the movable element or fixed element includes a pivot having a cylindrical portion that includes a pair of substantially equal grooves angularly spaced at 180 and each having a helical portion, the grooves communicating with each other to define a single guide element passing through the cylindrical portion. The box-shaped hinge body includes elongated slots, a pin being inserted through the single guide element and through the elongated slots to slide therethrough, and the counteracting elastic members act on the pin to promote the automatic returning of the closing element from the open position to the closed position.

A lubricating cartridge includes a lubrication section with a compartment for storing lubricant, and a mounting section connected to the lubrication section, designed for attachment to a door hinge or adjacent placement. The lubrication section includes one or more lubricant applicator compartments constructed to receive one or more lubricant applicators correspondingly the mounting section includes one or more mounting component compartments constructed to receive one or more mounting components, correspondingly.
