The invention relates to a hinge for a domestic appliance for pivotably fastening a lid to a body of the domestic appliance, comprising a first hinge element and a second hinge element, which are pivotably connected to each other and which can be pivoted in relation to each other between an open position and a closed position. The hinge is characterized in that a control lever is rotatably supported on the first hinge element and a control gate is formed on the second hinge element, in which control gate a control pin formed on the control lever is guided, wherein the control gate is shaped in such a way that, during a closing motion of the hinge, an intermediate position is assumed and held until the closing motion is continued to the closed position, whereas the hinge is pivoted to the open position during an opening motion from the closed position. The invention further relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a top-loading washing machine, comprising a body, to which a lid is pivotably fastened by means of at least one such hinge.

A printing apparatus includes: a first component; a second component; a first housing configured to house the first component; a second housing configured to house the second component and movably supported on an installation surface on which the printing apparatus is installed; and a connector configured to connect the second housing openably and closably to the first housing in a horizontal direction and to allow a tilt of a turning axis of the second housing to the first housing and an upward and downward movement of the second housing to the first housing upon opening and closing of the second housing.

A door closer, comprising a door closer housing mounted to one of a door frame or a door surface and a linkage arm for pivoting the door between open and closed positions. The linkage arm has a first and second end, the first end mounted to the other of the door frame or the door surface. The door closer includes a rotatable connector between the linkage arm and the door closer housing, the linkage arm second end engaging with the rotatable connector. The connector has a rotatable body portion and head protrusion substantially secured in a female receptor to transmit rotation about a longitudinal axis of the connector. One or both of the head protrusion or female receptor has a curved profile and is further movable with respect to the head protrusion to permit limited rotational misalignment of the linkage arm on any axis perpendicular to the connector longitudinal axis.

A hinge for unhingeable sheet-metal cabinet doors. A first hinge part, to be fastened to the door frame, has a bore hole or roll at a free end, through which a hinge pin extends. A second, U-shaped hinge part is connected to the door and surrounds the exposed end areas of the hinge pin in the mounted position. The U-shaped hinge part surrounds the first hinge part with first U-legs. The U-shaped hinge part includes a top part arranged in a bottom part. The top part has the shape of a U-shaped slide, with second U-legs, arranged to be displaceable between two end positions parallel to the extension of the first U-legs. The ends of the second U-legs close a lateral outlet opening for the hinge pin end in one end position, and expose the opening, through which the hinge pin end passes laterally, in the other end position.

A support system for use with a door that closes off an opening and a door assembly with the support system. The support system comprises a first support assembly having a main body and a roller assembly connected thereto, the main body comprises a seat for establishing connection with a first position of said door and a connector formed with the seat for connecting with the roller assembly. The connector is displaced from the seat in at least one perspective such that the roller assembly connected thereto is staggered relative to the seat in that perspective.

A cover for attachment to a header of a door system. The cover may have a motor compartment, a pulley compartment, and a first window. The motor compartment may be configured to at least partially enclose a motor and the pulley compartment may be configured to at least partially enclose a pulley, where the motor is operably attached to the pulley to drive a drive member. The first window may be configured to receive a portion of the drive member extending through an exterior wall of the cover.

A hinge assembly of a box device includes a first sliding rail and a second sliding rail. The first sliding rail extends in a straight line, and the second sliding rail extends along an ellipse. When a door body blocks an opening, the first sliding rail is perpendicular to a plane where the opening is located, and the portion of the second sliding rail that is away from a box body is close to a pivoting side with respect to the first sliding rail, and the door body moves towards a target side of the box body during opening of the door body, with respect to the box body, from a state of blocking the opening, to reduce the extent to which the door body exceeds an outer sidewall of the box body.

A vehicle charge port door assembly includes a charge port flap, a bracket to be fixed to the vehicle, a motorized actuation mechanism to move the charge port flap between a closed position and an open position, an actuator fixed to the bracket and including a rotatable output shaft with an eccentric crank pin, at least one lever parallelogram with a first and a second levers, hinged, at one end, to the charge port flap and at, the other end, to the bracket and able to drive the charge port flap between the open and closed position, and a driving rod connecting the crank pin to a driving protrusion of the first lever so that an eccentric movement of the crank pin drives, via the lever parallelogram, the charge port flap between the closed and the open position and vice versa.

A threaded bolt for a hinge arrangement includes a cylindrical main body. On an outer circumferential surface thereof the cylindrical main body has a first frustoconical projection and a second frustoconical projection, which adjoins the first frustoconical projection. The diameter of a side of the first frustoconical projection that faces toward the second frustoconical projection is smaller than the diameter of a side of the second frustoconical projection that faces toward the first frustoconical projection. The first frustoconical projection comprises at least one tooth on its outer circumferential surface, which tooth protrudes radially beyond an imaginary continuation of the second frustoconical projection.

A second, U-shaped hinge part is connected to the door and surrounds the exposed end areas of the hinge pin in the mounted position. The U-shaped hinge part surrounds the first hinge part with first U-legs. The U-shaped hinge part includes a top part arranged in a bottom part. The top part has the shape of a U-shaped slide, with second U-legs, arranged to be displaceable between two end positions parallel to the extension of the first U-legs. The ends of the second U-legs close a lateral outlet opening for the hinge pin end in one end position, and expose the opening, through which the hinge pin end passes laterally, in the other end position.
