A device for removing a hinge pin includes a body, a slide pin mounted to the body for first sliding movement relative thereto between a neutral and an extended longitudinal position along the body, an impactor coupled to the slide pin for second movement in unison with the first movement, and a biasing member, coupled to both the slide pin and the body, for biasing the slide pin towards the neutral position relative to the body. In operation, while i) the impactor is registered with the hinge pin and is distanced therefrom and ii) the slide pin is moved away from the neutral longitudinal position, releasing the slide pin causes a) the slide pin to move towards the neutral position by the biasing member and b) the impactor to impact the hinge pin.

An articulating prop to prop panels in an open position is disclosed. In one embodiment, the prop includes a protrusion that rests in a groove to lock members of the articulating prop in position. An external force causes the articulating prop members to rotate into a locked position. In another embodiment, an additional latch is disclosed which further locks the articulating prop in a locked position. An external force causes the articulating prop member to rotate out of a locked position. Shapes and interfaces of handles of the articulating prop are disclosed. Openings and pivotal axes of members of the articulating prop are also disclosed herein.

An insertion station of a component (2), for example a clevis, in a component seat (12) formed in an assembly (3) to be assembled, for example a hinge assembly for doors, includes a component ordering device (14) to order the loose components coming from a component feed hopper. A component support seat (16) receives the component and is configured in such a way as to guide the component in the horizontal insertion direction. A manipulator (20) picks a component (2) from the component ordering device (14) and deposit the component in the component support seat (16). An insertion actuator (30) has a pusher member (32) operable to push the component (2) in the component seat (12), and a positioning unit (40), including an abutment (42) operable to block the assembly (3) in a component insertion position.

A biaxial hinge is provided which includes a rotation cam part including a first rotation cam part and a second rotation cam part configured to rotate with hinge shafts as the center, wherein each of the first and second rotation cam parts include a plurality of pockets each of which comprises one side opened and is inwardly recessed, a sliding cam part comprising one side protruding in a direction of the rotation cam part and an incline so as to move upward and downward in cooperation with rotation of the rotation cam part and insert in the pocket, a guide part including a through-hole formed at a center portion and which one side of the projected sliding cam part perforates to guide movement of the sliding cam part, and a support part configured to support the sliding cam part at a lower portion of the sliding cam part.

Disclosed is a safety magnetic hinge for preventing a door from being suddenly closed by wind, by, when the hinge opens, fixing the hinge so as not to close at a predetermined angle through a magnet installed in the hinge.

A snap hinge with damped closing includes a first articulated quadrilateral defined by a coupling plate associated with a fixed element, a first lever and a third lever, which are articulated to the coupling plate, and a second lever interposed between the preceding levers and is articulated thereto. A second articulated quadrilateral has a fixing plate associated with a movable element with which are associated and articulated respective ends of the second lever and of a fourth lever, the opposite end of which is associated and articulated with the first lever. The plates have various arrangements with respect to each other, rotating about a substantially horizontal rotation axis as the hinge moves between open and closed configurations. The hinge has at least one damping element that acts during closing and is interposed directly between the coupling plate and the second lever.

A door system to provide a check function and door closing assistance in a vehicle is provided. The door system comprises a door hinge, a clip assembly attached to the door hinge and a door closing assist device disposed adjacent to the door hinge. The door hinge includes a body leaf fixed to a body of the vehicle, and a door leaf attached to a door of the vehicle and configured to be movable relative to the body leaf and the door leaf includes an engagement member. The clip assembly includes a check member having a distal end and a base end and the check member includes at least a first check portion adjacent to the distal end and a second check portion adjacent to the base end.

Examples disclosed herein relate to a hinge assembly with a compressible sleeve. In one example, a base member is coupled to an upright member via a hinge assembly. In an example, the hinge assembly include a first securing member, a second securing member including a shaft coupled to the first securing member; a compressible sleeve to engage the shaft, and a spring coupled to the first securing member. In an example, the spring is to engage the compressible sleeve and apply a compressive force on the sleeve in response to a rotational movement of the hinge assembly in a first direction and reduce a compressive force when the hinge assembly is rotated in a second direction.

A locking mechanism for a door panel to be positioned within and out of blocking relationship with an opening. Mechanism includes a deadbolt rotatably connected to the wall and having a curved configuration and a locking bracket connected to the door panel. The locking bracket extends from the door panel in an angular direction with respect to a plane of door panel. With door panel in a closed position and deadbolt in a first position, the locking bracket extends through the curved configuration. Deadbolt is in blocking relationship with the locking bracket in a direction along a plane of the door panel and is not in blocking relationship in a direction along the locking bracket. With door panel in closed position, deadbolt is in a second position not in blocking relationship with the locking bracket permitting door panel to move in a direction along a plane of the door panel.

A pneumatic operated hinge and latch system for agriculture seed box lids preventing loss of the lid during adverse weather conditions, wherein the system provides a more reliable and secure locked engagement and an easy transition to an unlocked engagement.
