A hinged mobile computing device includes a first housing part and a second housing part coupled by a hinge assembly having a harness, a harness cover, a first hinge body, and a second hinge body. The harness is configured to accommodate flexible printed circuitry and a cable that extend from the first housing part to the second housing part via the hinge assembly. The hinge bodies include respective friction bands, each friction band being configured to engage a respective shaft formed on the harness and having a gear configured to mesh with a respective cog arranged within the harness cover to coordinate a timing of the rotation of the first and second housing parts between face-to-face and back-to-back orientations. The hinge assembly further includes a spring-loaded opening mechanism.

A hinged mobile computing device includes a first housing part with a first display and a second housing part with a second display. The first and second housing parts are coupled by a hinge assembly that includes a spring-loaded opening mechanism configured to bias with a biasing torque the first housing part and second housing part to rotate away from each other when the first and second displays are in a closed face-to-face orientation. An electro-magnetic closure system is configured to retain the first and second displays in the closed face-to-face orientation against the biasing torque of the spring-loaded opening mechanism, and release of the electro-magnetic closure system permits the first housing part to rotationally separate from the second housing part to a predetermined angular orientation due to the biasing force of the spring-loaded opening mechanism.

A vehicle door includes a fixed bracket having a base plate part fixed by a bolt to an attachment surface of a vehicle body, and a pair of bent pieces bent at a right angle in relation to the base plate part and set apart from each other in the axial direction of a hinge shaft. In the bent pieces are formed: a shaft hole in which the hinge shaft is inserted; and a raised stopper part projecting from the inner-side surface of the bent piece, the raised stopper part coming into contact with a stopped part of a movable bracket, whereby the movable bracket is stopped in the fully open position.

In an aspect, a vehicular door hinge is provided and includes a door-hinge component that is configured to mount to a vehicle door and a body-hinge component that is configured to mount to a vehicle body. The door hinge component is pivotally mounted to the body hinge component. A first one of the door- and body-hinge components is made from folded sheet metal and has a fold. Each of the door- and body-hinge components has a stop surface that is engageable with the stop surface on the other of the door- and body-hinge components to limit relative pivoting movement between the door- and body-hinge components. The stop surface on the first of the door- and body-hinge components is at the fold.

Described and illustrated is a regulating valve for a door drive, wherein the regulating valve has an axis of rotation, wherein the regulating valve includes at least two ends and at least two sealing sections, wherein the regulating valve includes a regulating section, and the regulating section is disposed between the sealing sections. A regulating valve for a door drive, which is particularly simply manufacturable, is realized in that at least one radial thickening forms at least one of the sealing sections, wherein at least one radial tapering of the regulating valve forms the regulating section.

An assembly line (40) includes a transport system having pallets (70), a riveting machine (100) with a stop device (1005) and a riveting device (1010), and a crushing head (1011). The stop device (1005) and the riveting device (1010) flank the pallet (70) on opposite sides, while a stop (1006) of the stop device (1005) and the crushing head (1011) are translatable to approach the article from opposite sides during assembly.

A spindle rod for a spindle device includes a threaded rod (2) with a threaded portion (3) extending along a spindle axis (S) and a coupling part (7) for coupling the threaded rod (2) to a drive or a gear of a drive device. The coupling part (7) is integrally connected to a first end (2a) of the threaded rod (2). The coupling part (7) has a connecting portion (7a) provided for connecting the threaded rod (2) at a first end (2a) facing the threaded rod. The connecting portion (7a) has a bead-shaped thickening.

The present disclosure provides a system for sealing a compartment. The system includes a door with a seal positioned on a bottom surface of the door. The system also includes one or more hinges coupled to the door. The door rotates from a closed position to an open position via the one or more hinges. A height of the door with respect to a floor surface increases in response to a rotation of the door from the closed position to the open position due to a helical slope of both a first cam surface of the one or more hinges and a second cam surface of the one or more hinges. The seal transitions from a compressed state to a relaxed state in response to the rotation of the door from the closed position to the open position.

A hinged mobile computing device includes a first housing part with a first display and a second housing part with a second display. The first and second housing parts are coupled by a hinge assembly that includes a spring-loaded opening mechanism configured to bias with a biasing torque the first housing part and second housing part to rotate away from each other when the first and second displays are in a closed face-to-face orientation. An electro-magnetic closure system is configured to retain the first and second displays in the closed face-to-face orientation against the biasing torque of the spring-loaded opening mechanism, and release of the electro-magnetic closure system permits the first housing part to rotationally separate from the second housing part to a predetermined angular orientation due to the biasing force of the spring-loaded opening mechanism.

A hinged device with dampening of the opening (A) and/or closing (C) end strokes of a door of an appliance includes a first element (3) to be fixed to a body and a second element (5) to be fixed to the door of the appliance and hinged by a hinge pin (7) so that the door rotates along the opening (A) and closing (C) end strokes and an intermediate (I) stroke around the hinge pin (7). The device includes a cradle (11) sliding into the first element (3) and a connecting rod (13) connected to the cradle (11) and to the second element (5) for translation, following the door rotation, of the cradle (11) that slidably houses a damper (21) of variable length and provided with sliding members (25, 27) sliding into first slots (31) of the cradle (11) and into second slots (33) of the first element (3).
