TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENCLOSURE WITH A SEPARATE MOUNTABLE HINGE
The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications enclosures that can be customizable to include a hinge. That is, a separate hinge may be utilized as an add-on feature for telecommunications enclosures. The hinge can be attached to at least two different sides of an enclosure or may not be utilized at all. Such a configuration allows for flexibility of a variety of designs for a telecommunications enclosure. The hinge can be mountable to interfaces of first and second housing pieces of an enclosure. The hinge can have rotational features and/or translational features for pivoting first and second housing pieces of an enclosure between first and second positions.
Folding devices
Folding devices are disclosed. An example folding device includes a first frame; a second frame; an actuator including a first end coupled to the first frame and a second end hingably coupled to the second frame; and a display coupled to the first and second frames, when the folding device is in a folded position, the display wraps around ends of the first and second frames to cover a joint between the first and second frames, when the folding device rotates from the folded position toward an unfolded position, the actuator urges the ends of the first and second frames away from one another to encourage the display to unwrap from around the ends.
Lid construction for breathing apparatus
A breathing assistance apparatus has a lid and latch assembly configured for one-handed operation. The apparatus also includes a hinge assembly that separates when over-rotated but that reengages upon closing of the lid onto the main body of the apparatus.
Radiator grille charging door apparatus
A radiator grille charging door apparatus for an electric vehicle for charging the electric vehicle in which a charging port is positioned at an inner side of a radiator grille is provided. The apparatus includes a charging door that has one end formed with a hinge shaft and a hinge connector that is coupled to the hinge shaft of the charging door at one side of the hinge connector. A hinge bracket is coupled to an inside of the hinge connector and a plurality of hinge springs connect the hinge connector and the hinge bracket to each other.
LID CONSTRUCTION FOR BREATHING APPARATUS
A breathing assistance apparatus has a lid and latch assembly configured for one-handed operation. The apparatus also includes a hinge assembly that separates when over-rotated but that reengages upon closing of the lid onto the main body of the apparatus.
Adjustable hinge assembly
An adjustable hinge assembly (10) for securing a boot lid to the body of a vehicle has a mounting member (22) for attachment to the body. An adjustment member (24) is connected to the mounting member for pivotal movement about a first axis X and a hinge arm (18) on which the boot lid is mounted is connected to the adjustment member for pivotal movement about a second axis Y parallel to but spaced from the first axis. An adjusting mechanism (26) is operative to selectively adjust the pivotal position of the adjustment member (24) relative to the mounting member (22) in order to adjust the position of the boot lid relative to a body in a vertical direction.
Cover apparatus for truck cargo box
The present invention relates to a cover apparatus for a truck cargo box, and more specifically to a cover apparatus for a truck cargo box, which enables stable opening and closing operations even when deformation occurs due to the deflection or warping of a truck cargo box and enables its covers to stably cover irregularly shaped loads, such as various types of wastes or scraps, thereby considerably improving transportation safety and the convenience of use. According to the present invention, there is provided the cover apparatus for a truck cargo box, which enables stable opening and closing operations via the hinges and the variable members, and enables its covers to stably cover irregularly shaped loads via the covers in each of which the plurality of blocks is connected to each other, thereby providing the effect of considerably improving transportation safety and the convenience of use.
Linear hinge assembly for an appliance
An appliance includes a linear hinge assembly that couples a door to a cabinet. The linear hinge assembly includes a bearing assembly mounted to the cabinet and an elongated shaft received within the bearing assembly for sliding along a translation axis. A cam is mounted to the door and is rotatably coupled to a distal end portion of the elongated shaft such that such that the door is rotatable about a pivot axis that extends through the distal end portion of the elongated shaft. A timing cable extends from a fixed location on the cabinet to a fixed location on a cam profile such that the timing cable wraps around the cam when the door is moved toward a closed position and unwraps when the door is moved toward an open position.
