A hinge includes a base frame, a support frame and a transmitting mechanism. The base frame includes front and rear ends. The transmitting mechanism includes a first sliding plate, a second sliding plate and a transmitting assembly. The first and second sliding plates are connected with and slidable relative to the base frame in a front-rear direction. The transmitting assembly includes a rotating axle unit and a linkage unit. The rotating axle unit is movable with the support frame to cause sliding movements of the first and second sliding plates and a pivoting of the linkage unit relative to the base frame so as to shift the first and second sliding plates between retracted and projecting states.

A guide system for guiding a door wing includes a first guide rail for guiding the door wing, and a second guide rail for guiding the door wing, with the second guide rail extending transversely relative to the first guide rail. A carrier displaceable along the second guide rail is connected or is to be connected to the door wing via at least three furniture hinges spaced from one another in the mounted condition. All furniture hinges, by which the door wing can be connected or is connected to the carrier in the mounted condition, are arranged or can be arranged on a common mounting member separate from the carrier. The mounting member is releasably connected to the carrier by a fastening device, and the mounting member is releasably connected to the carrier in a direction extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the carrier.

The present invention relates to reliably performing an opening portion operation and a closing operation without using a cam and a member sliding on the cam, by including a body-side member fixed to a box body; a door-side member fixed to a door, a link mechanism connecting the body-side member to the door-side member, and a catch mechanism interposed between the link mechanisms, between the body-side member and the link mechanism, or between the door-side member and the link mechanism, and configured to bias the door-side member in a closing direction or an opening portion direction, wherein the catch mechanism includes a coil spring provided on one side of two members that are connected so as to be rotatable relative to each other through a shaft member, and a transfer arm configured to transfer an elastic restoring force of the coil spring to an other side of the two members, and the transfer arm is connected to be rotatable at a point spaced apart from the shaft member on the other side of the two members.

A door hinge has a first leaf assembly having a base frame, a second leaf assembly, and a link assembly connecting the leaf assemblies pivotally to each other. A first end of the link is pivoted on the seat block in the first leaf assembly. The seat block is movable in the base frame for adjustment in a first direction, and a guide formation preventing movement of the seat block in a second direction relative to the base frame.

A hinge has first and second leaf assemblies pivoted on each other and a link assembly interconnecting the first and second leaf assemblies. At least one of the first and second leaf assemblies has upper and lower mounts forming a cavity in which a respective end of the link assembly is pivoted, and at least one of the mounts of the one leaf assembly is formed with a recess opening into the cavity. According to the invention a body of foaming fire-protection material is provided in the recess so that when heated the body expands and fills the cavity with fire-protective foam.

An eccentric hinge includes a rail, a stop block arranged on a first end of the rail, a fixing rod parallel with the rail, a sliding block, a connecting rod and a transmission rod, where the sliding block is arranged on the rail; a first end of the connecting rod is connected with a second end of the rail; a second end of the connecting rod is connected with the fixing rod; a first end of the transmission rod is connected with the sliding bock; a second end of the transmission rod is connected with the connecting rod; when the eccentric hinge is in a closed state, a first centerline of the fixing rod and a second centerline of the rail are parallel lines in a same plane; and a distance between the parallel lines is greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator of which door is opened without interference by a structure positioned next to a side of the refrigerator. Since a main body and the door of the refrigerator are provided with hinge units, while the door is opening, the hinge units rotate in a direction in which the door rotates while protruding, and thus the structure positioned next to the side of the refrigerator is not positioned in a radius of rotation of the door, and the door may rotate without interference. In addition, hinge covers which move in conjunction with the movement of the hinge units are provided at one sides of the hinge units. When the hinge units protrude due to the opening of the door, since protrusions of the hinge units are provided not to be exposed by one ends of the hinge covers sliding.

A furniture drive can move a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The furniture drive includes a housing configured to be at least partially received within a recess of a furniture panel of the furniture carcass in a mounted condition, and an actuating arm arrangement for moving the movable furniture part. A cover is provided on the housing of the furniture drive, and the cover has at least one laterally protruding, substantially ring-shaped flange.
