Disclosed are a hinge module, and a case and an electronic device that include the same. The hinge module includes a first case connection connected to a first case, a second case connection connected to a second case, a first hinge shaft having one end connected to the first case connection, a second hinge shaft having one end connected to the second case connection, and a curling part that provides a frictional force to the first hinge shaft, at least a portion of which is inserted into the curling part, to allow the first hinge shaft to rotate with a first torque and provides a frictional force to the second hinge shaft, at least a portion of which is inserted into the curling part, to allow the second hinge shaft to rotate with a second torque different from the first torque.

A vehicle assembly that can include a frame assembly, a door assembly, a striker assembly, a door latch assembly, a seat belt retractor assembly and a cover assembly. The striker assembly can be mounted on the frame assembly. The door latch assembly can be mounted on the door assembly. The door latch assembly can include a latch mechanism configured to releasably engage the striker assembly when the door assembly is in the closed position. The seat belt retractor assembly selectively wind and unwind a seat belt. The seat belt retractor assembly can be mounted on a first portion of the frame assembly. The seat belt retractor assembly can be spaced away from a second portion of the frame assembly by a gap. The cover assembly can be mounted on the frame assembly. The cover assembly can cover at least a portion of the gap and the striker assembly.

A hinge bracket to couple a hinge to a lid of a laundry appliance comprising: an elongated slot receiving a connector portion of a hinge; first fastener receivers extending from the elongated slot laterally inward toward a midline of a cabinet of the laundry appliance and configured to cooperate with fastener receivers of the hinge to receive fasteners that fasten the hinge to the hinge bracket; second fastener receivers on an opposite side of the hinge bracket as the first fastener receivers and configured to cooperate with the fastener receivers through a C-shaped lip of the lid to receive fasteners fastening the lid to the hinge bracket; and an indented portion formed laterally away from the elongated slot and facing the curved portion of the hinge. The laundry appliance can further include a hinge receiver to couple the hinge to a cabinet.

A hinge device includes: a first and a second hinge components having a common reference axis; and a power generating device. The first and the second hinge components are engaged with each other, so as to be rotatable about the reference axis relative to each other, and so that one of the first and the second hinge components supports the other. The power generating device includes a housing and an input shaft, and generates electric power by rotation of the input shaft. The housing of the power generating device is fixed to the first hinge component, so that the input shaft of the power generating device is positioned on the reference axis. The input shaft of the power generating device is restrained to the second hinge component with respect to the direction of rotation about the reference axis, so that the input shaft of the power generating device rotates by as much as rotation of the second hinge component when the second hinge component rotates about the reference axis.

A hinge assembly for pivotally joining the opposing halves of a carryable case, especially a case for housing an electronic apparatus. The disclosed hinge is adapted to convey electrical conductors from one half of the case to the other, while protecting them from damage by excessive flexing, abrasion, moisture, and debris.

A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment; an inner door rotatably provided at the main body; and an outer door configured to open and close the storage compartment together with the inner door and rotatably provided at the inner door, wherein the inner door includes a connector seating portion disposed at an upper portion of the inner door and configured to connect a first electric wire extending from the main body to the inner door to a second electric wire extending from the outer door to the inner door. Connections between the electric wires are improved so as not to be influenced by the inner and outer doors such that durability of the electric wires can be improved.

A door pivot assembly used for secure storage includes a bushing, a nut and a bolt. The bushing is secured to a door frame, and the bushing has a non-threaded bore therethrough. The nut is secured to a door panel, and the nut has a threaded bore therethrough. The threaded bore of the nut aligns with the non-threaded bore of the bushing. The bolt passes through the door panel and the door frame. The bolt has a head, a threaded shaft, and a non-threaded shaft. The threaded shaft and the non-threaded shaft sequentially extend from the head. The threaded shaft is screwed into the threaded bore of the nut, and the non-threaded shaft is rotatably disposed in the non-threaded bore of the bushing, so that the door panel can be pivoted relative to the door frame. A smart locker having the door pivot assembly is also provided.

An apparatus for separating a vehicle door in an emergency, the apparatus being disposed to a hinge, which includes a hinge base disposed to a vehicle body, a hinge bracket disposed to a side of a door and overlapping with the hinge base, and a hinge bolt disposed through the hinge base and the hinge bracket, and which allows the door to be rotatable relative to the vehicle body, so that the hinge bracket is separated from the hinge base, may include a breaking member provided in the hinge bolt to break the hinge bolt when a hinge breaking signal is input to the breaking member from the outside, and a hinge bolt removal device configured to remove the hinge bolt from the hinge base and the hinge bracket when the hinge bolt is broken.

A hinge pin includes a pin body with an upper portion and a lower portion; a reservoir within the pin body and accessible from a top end of the body, the reservoir extending a length of the upper portion; a weep hole extending from an exterior of the pin body and into the reservoir at a base of the reservoir; and a cap removably secured to the pin body at the top end; the upper portion is shorter than the lower portion; and the reservoir is to receive a lubricant to disperse through the weep hole.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet and a top panel coupled to a top edge of the cabinet. A console shell is coupled to the top panel. The console shell defined left and right shoulders extending from the console shell towards a front of the cabinet. An edge-to-edge lid is coupled to the left and right shoulders via left and right wire hinges, respectively.
