An apparatus for supporting a door of an appliance is disclosed. The apparatus is secured to the door. The apparatus comprises an elongated structure extending over a length of the door. The elongated structure comprises a support arm at one end. The support arm is used to couple the elongated structure to the door of the appliance. The apparatus comprises a hinge provided at the elongated structure. The hinge facilitates in rotation of the elongated structure to support the door when the door is in open position. The appliance includes a dishwasher or a refrigerator.

A garage door carrier system carries an overhead garage door between a closed position blocking entry of a vehicle into a garage, and an open position allowing entry of the vehicle into the garage. The garage door is in rolling engagement with a track that guides the garage door. A lever, rotating about a pivot, has a counterweight at a first end and is rotatably connected to the garage door at a second opposite load end. The counterweight provides in-force at the first end that translates as out-force at the load end as the lever rotates about the pivot to carry the garage door between the closed position and the open position.

A load-bearing accessory includes a hinge, a frame and a connector. The frame includes an adjustment portion and a support portion. The distance between the adjustment portion and the support portion is adjustable. A first end of the connector is connected to the hinge, and a second end of the connector is connected to the adjustment portion. One of the hinge or the frame that is located at the upper position of the load-bearing accessory is configured to support the connector, and the connector is configured to support the other one of the hinge or the frame that is located at the lower position of the load-bearing accessory.

A device for mechanically adjusting a component comprising a bracket having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, where the first sidewall comprises a first opening and the second sidewall comprises a second opening. A tapered channel may be formed between the first opening and the second opening. The device further comprises a connector and a receiver that work together with the bracket to provide an adjustment mechanism for supporting and adjusting an angle of incline of a wheeled gate used in fencing or other applications.

A two-part gate wheel is disclosed. The gate wheel includes two hub portions, each of which extends through over 180?, and which has a slot which passes from the periphery through to the centre. In use, each hub portion can be introduced from opposed sides of a gate, and coupled together to form a wheel. In this way the wheel can be retro-fitted onto a gate.

An arrangement has at least two door leaves which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, and can be moved between a parallel position, in which the at least two door leaves are oriented substantially parallel to one another, and a coplanar position, in which the at least two door leaves are oriented in a substantially coplanar manner. The arrangement includes a guide rail for fastening on a fixed furniture part, and a guide device to be connected to a folding/sliding door and mounted to be moved on the guide rail. The arrangement has a vertical carrier on which the folding/sliding door can be mounted in a pivotable manner. The guide rail and/or the guide device comprises a force store by which the folding/sliding door can be subjected to a force directed counter to the weight-induced force.

A gate support system for the free-end of a swinging gate. The system includes a first elongated support member; a second elongated support member, a foot member carried by the second elongated support member and being vertically moveable relative to the second elongated support member between raised and lowered positions; bias means for biasing the foot member to the raised position; and a locking mechanism for locking the foot member in a desired vertical position relative to the second elongated support member. When the gate has been pivoted to a desired position, the foot member can be pushed downwardly until it rests firmly on the ground. The locking mechanism will maintain the foot member in a lowered position where it will support the weight of the free-end of the gate. A handle can be activated to release the locking mechanism and enable the foot member to move to a raised position.
