A side-by-side refrigerator having a door opening device which includes a cabinet and a door to open and close a front surface of the cabinet, the door opening device comprising: a handle which is mounted on a front surface of the door to perform a seesaw motion; and a push kit which is mounted on a side surface of the door to interwork with the handle, wherein a portion on which the handle and the push kit are mounted is formed to be recessed in the door.

Provided is a refrigerator having only a second door opened/closed or having both of a first door and a second door opened/closed using one handing by allowing a latch device to fix the second door to the first door or release the second door from being fixed to the first door. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and has an opening formed therein, a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door to open/close the opening, a handle coupled to a front side of the second door to open/close the first door and the second door, and a latch device allowing the second door to be fixed and released to/from the first door.

A striker plate includes a base having a surface for contacting a switch and a wall. At least one support projects from the wall. The at least one support supports the base in a hood inner panel. At least one locking tab extends from the wall. The at least one locking tab engages a cutout on the panel. The support is positioned with respect to the respective locking tab so that the support engage the cutouts. Upon rotation of the base, the locking tab engages the cutout locking the base in place on the hood inner panel.

A latch mechanism includes a first and second latch body. The first and second latch body respectively includes a first and second base, a first and second latch portion and a first and second acting portion. The first latch body disposes through the second base. The second acting portion is pivoted to the second base. The second latch portion is disposed on the rotational path and limited to the first latch portion. The second acting portion includes a first and a second pushing structure. When the second acting portion is rotated along the rotational path, the second latch portion is pushed by the first pushing structure such that the second latch portion is disengaged from the first latch portion, and then the first acting portion is pushed by the second pushing structure such that the first latch body is disengaged from the second latch body in a releasing direction.

An assist apparatus utilized within a door system to aid in opening the door. The assist apparatus may include one or more door activation devices (e.g., a first door activation device and a second door activation device, such as pulls on opposite sides of a sliding door) that can rotate around a pivot location. Moreover, the assist apparatus may further include one or more assist components operatively coupled to the one or more door activation devices. The door activation device(s) are configured to be operatively coupled to a sliding door and allow for rotation of at least a portion of the door activation device. The assist component(s) of the door activation device(s) aid in opening or closing the sliding door by engaging a door frame, wall, or the like as the door activation device is rotated.

A refrigerator includes a refrigerator body having an interior storage space. A door is coupled to the refrigerator body to open and close the interior storage space. A door handle is coupled to the door in a pivotally rotatable manner and an opening actuator is coupled to the door handle where the opening actuator applies a force to the refrigerator body to open the interior storage space. The opening actuator includes a front bezel, a handle pivot plate coupled to the door handle, a casing enclosing an actuator mechanism, and one or more pushers that extend and retract against a front wrapper edge of the refrigerator body. An intermediate attachment couples the handle pivot plate to the casing and a back bezel.

An electronic device including a cover having an open/close structure is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including an upper face and a recess formed through the upper face in order to accommodate an earphone device, a cover for covering the recess in a closed state and to allow access to the recess in an opened state, a conductive pin disposed in the recess and biased mechanically toward the cover in the closed state, a circuit electrically connected to the conductive pin, a plurality of magnets disposed in the cover, a mechanical hook structure coupled to a peripheral portion of the cover in the closed state, and a button, when pressed, for separating the hook structure from the peripheral portion while moving a magnet to a position where the magnet faces another magnet.

A magnetic latch (10) for an appliance is disclosed for use with a strike plate (12). The latch includes a body (16) having two oppositely disposed side walls (18) and a bottom surface or wall (20). The body defines a magnet recess (26). An elongated handle (40) is pivotally coupled to the body. A spring loaded plunger pin (34) biases the handle. A magnet assembly (44) is positioned within the body. The magnet assembly includes a magnet (46) having a peripheral edge (48), and a pair of metal plates (54). The magnet has a peripheral cushioning sleeve (58) extending about the peripheral edges of the magnet. The peripheral sleeve is generally rectangular in shape having two oppositely disposed end walls (60) which include a cushioning projection (68). A pivot pin (74) extends through the magnet assembly to allow rocking motion.

Hardware for a lift glide door assembly and lift glide window assembly provides ease of opening with an operational opening assist that urges the door or window to an open position on operation of an opening handle. A lock mechanism actuates a lock pin, blocks opening gear mechanisms from operating and extends a security bolt for locking. A guide blade is provided for assisting the door during opening or closing operations.

A door arrangement includes a door leaf movable relative to a frame. A locking device in a locked state locks the door leaf to the frame by at least one locking element and in an unlocked state releases the door leaf relative to the frame. An actuating element selects the state of the locking device. To transmit a movement of the actuating element, the locking device has a connecting bar which is arranged displaceably on the door leaf, wherein a motor-operated drive unit for driving the connecting bar is provided. A sensor device for the contactless detection of a movement of the connecting bar is provided and the motor-operated drive unit can be activated in accordance with a movement of the connecting bar detected by the sensor device.
