A low-bulkiness hinge for closing a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure, such as a wall, a frame or a floor includes a hinge body which includes a longitudinal operating chamber defining a first axis, a pivot coupled to the hinge body to rotate around a second axis between the opening and closing positions of the closing element, and a slider slidable in the operating chamber along the first axis. The operating chamber has a first seat for the pivot and a second seat for the sliding of the slider, which includes a shaft and an operative head that are mutually coupled. The hinge body has a first opening for inserting, perpendicularly to the first axis, the operative head into the second seat and a second through opening for inserting, coaxially to the first axis, the shaft into the housing. The hinge further has the shaft and the operative head fixed to one another after insertion in the second seat (so as to form a unitary assembly integrally slidable along the first axis.

A washing appliance having a removable service tray. The tray may include a cartridge removably received within a door of the appliance. A spring assembly may be positioned within the cartridge for assisting in opening the door. The cartridge and its components may be concealed from the view of a user at the front of the appliance.

Embodiments describe an eartip including an eartip body having an attachment end and an interfacing end opposite from the attachment end. The eartip body can include an inner eartip body having a sidewall extending between the interfacing end and the attachment end, the sidewall defining a channel and having a first thickness near the attachment end and a second thickness different from the first thickness at the interfacing end. The eartip can also include an attachment structure coupled to the inner eartip body at the attachment end, the attachment structure having an inner surface and an outer surface. The attachment structure can include an upper region interfacing with the sidewall and defining discrete through-holes, a lower region below the upper region where the inner surface defines a plurality of recesses positioned around the lower region, and a mesh extending across the channel and into the upper region.

A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be secured on a furniture carcass; a furniture hinge which has two fitting parts interconnected via at least one joint axle; and a locking device, by means of which one of the fitting parts of the furniture hinge can be locked, in particular releasably, to the mounting body. The fitting part of the furniture hinge that is to be locked on the mounting body has three plates arranged one above the other, a first of the three plates faces towards the mounting body in a locked position, a third of the three plates occupies an outer position, a second of the three plates occupies a central position between the first of the three plates and the third of the three plates, and at least three pin-like retaining parts are provided, which are mounted on the second of the three plates.

A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a furniture hinge having two fitting portions connected to one another via at least one hinge axis, and a locking device for locking one of the fitting portions of the furniture hinge to the mounting body. The locking device includes at least one holding portion having an outer contour, and a locking contour corresponding thereto. The locking contour includes at least one stationary first member and at least one second member configured to be moved, preferably pivotally, relative to the first member. The at least one holding portion is received between the two members of the locking contour in a locked position.

The fitting part of the furniture hinge that is to be locked on the mounting body has three plates which are arranged one above the other and are interconnected at least by at least one common, pin-like retaining part.

A hinge assembly for a door, the hinge assembly including a hinge pin arranged to be fixed to the door at one end and having a pin connector part at an opposite second end. A rotation damper connected to a damper connector part arranged to cooperate with the pin connector part for transferring torque around an axis of rotation between the damper connector part and the pin connector part throughout an opening angle of the door, such that a rotational movement of the damper connector part about the axis of rotation in at least a first rotational direction is dampened by the rotation damper. The pin connector part and the damper connection part allow an initial closing angle of rotation of the door before the damper acts on the rotation of the hinge pin, the initial closing angle being at least 2°.
