The invention relates to a hinge for a furniture item or a domestic appliance, in particular for a washing machine, having a first hinge part (10) and a second hinge part (40), wherein the two hinge parts (10, 40) are interconnected in an articulated manner by means of two hinge levers (20, 30), wherein a base part (70) is provided that has a fastening portion (71) with fastening elements (72) and also has a holding receptacle (77), wherein the second hinge part (40) is held on the holding receptacle (77), wherein the base part (70) has a fastening portion (75) that interacts with a holding element (41.1) of the second hinge part (40) in order to bring about a releasable connection between the second hinge part (40) and the base part (70), wherein the holding receptacle (77) has a guide (76.1), and wherein, with the connection released, the second hinge part (40) is guided on the base part (70) along the guide (76.1), preferably in a linearly adjustable manner, by means of at least one sliding piece (43). Such a hinge allows heavy doors to be hinged on in a simple manner.

The invention relates to a hinge for connecting two securing arts for directly or indirectly securing to two furniture parts pivotable relative to each other, the securing parts being pivotably connected to each other by means of a connecting assembly. It is thereby provided that a linear guide element is disposed on each of the two securing parts, said elements interacting to form a linear guide, and that the hinge comprises a guide device implemented for displacing the linear guide depending on the pivot position of the securing parts relative to each other. The invention further relates to a method for displacing a first securing part of a hinge in an articulated manner relative to a second securing part. The hinge and the method enable a pivotable connection between furniture parts having at least a reduced risk of injury.

The invention relates to a furniture hinge (10) with a hinge cup (52) having cup side walls (52.4) which encircle a cup opening at least partially, and having a cup bottom (52.1) which at least partially closes off the hinge cup (52) opposite the cup opening, with a spreading element (70) having two clamping jaws (72.1, 72.2) which at least partially radially enclose the cup side walls (52.4) of the hinge cup (52) and which are connected via a flange (71), and with a lifting arrangement for adjusting at least one of the clamp jaws (72.1, 72.2) between a first position and a second position. Here it is provided that at least one of the clamping jaws (72.1, 72.2) comprises at least one integrally formed spreading extension (76, 78) which, in the transition from the first position into the second position, cooperates with the hinge cup (52) so that the clamping jaws (72.1, 72.2) are spread. As a result, a furniture hinge is created, which can be produced cost-effectively, and which can be attached rapidly and securely to a piece of furniture.

An adjustable snap-acting hinge is provided. The hinge includes a first articulated quadrilateral and a second articulated quadrilateral, which can move on a working plane and share a first lever and a second lever and are provided respectively with a plate for coupling to a first element and with a plate for fixing to a second element. A contrast element is associated with the coupling plate and can be arranged in at least one position for use, which lies between a first position in which the contrast element is arranged at a maximum distance from the point of the first lever, and a second position in which the contrast element is arranged at a minimum distance from the point of the first lever. The hinge also includes locking means for keeping the contrast element in the position for use.

Disclosed is a low profile, adjustable, soft close hinge comprised of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm and a hinge link in a four-bar linkage arrangement. A spring biases the hinge to a closed position. The hinge body is adjustably connected to an inner frame with an overlay adjustment screw and depth adjustment cam. The inner frame releasably connects the hinge body to a mounting plate. A stop bracket is adjustably and slidably connected to the hinge body by a cam. The adjustable position of the stop bracket relative to the hinge body determines the point at which the damping functionality of a damper begins during a hinge closing movement. A linkage sub-assembly pivotally connects the damper to the hinge link.

An actuating drive for moving a flap of an item of furniture, including: an actuating arm pivotally mounted about a pivoting axis for moving the flap, a spring device for applying a force onto the actuating arm, a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force of the spring device onto the actuating arm in a closing direction and for transmitting a force of the spring device onto the actuating arm, and an adjusting device for adjusting a position of an actuating portion of the actuating drive in or along a guide. The actuating drive includes a coupling device coupling the spring device, the pivoting axis of the actuating arm, and the actuating portion to one another. By adjusting the actuating portion in or along the guide, the position of the dead-center of the actuating arm and the force of the spring device acting towards the opening direction can be variably adjusted.

A hinge assembly for securing a door on a gaming machine cabinet includes a first flange coupled to the door, a second flange coupled to the cabinet, a first link pair coupled to and extending from the first flange at a first pivot joint, a second link pair coupled to and extending from the first flange at a second pivot joint, a third link pair coupled to the first link pair at a third pivot joint, wherein the third link pair is further coupled to the second flange at a fourth pivot joint, and wherein the third link pair is further coupled to the second link pair at a fifth pivot joint, and a fourth link pair coupled to the second flange at a sixth pivot joint, wherein the fourth link pair is further coupled to the second link pair at a seventh pivot joint.

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator body and a door body. A hinge body is disposed on the refrigerator body. A first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft are disposed on the hinge body. A first guide groove and a second guide groove are formed in the door body. The first hinge shaft is located in the first guide groove and the second hinge shaft is located in the second guide groove. During opening of the door body, the first guide groove moves relative to the first hinge shaft and the second guide groove moves relative to the second hinge shaft, the first hinge shaft applies an acting force to the first guide groove to drive the end, away from the first guide groove, of the second guide groove to approach the second hinge shaft, so that the door body is displaced in a horizontal direction.

The invention provides an anti-deformation hinge with a preload adjustment function, comprising an outer fixing cup being hinged with the adjustment combination seat and opened or closed on an adjustment combination seat around a hinging position, the adjustment combination seat comprises an upper adjusting plate, a middle adjusting plate and a bottom adjusting plate. The upper adjusting plate is integrally formed with a crank hinged with the outer fixing cup. The upper adjusting plate is provided with an adjusting sliding connecting piece. The middle adjusting plate is provided with a preload lug, and the bottom adjusting plate is slidably arranged on the middle adjusting plate and is slidably connected with the preload lug. The hinge is simple in structure and has a preload adjustment function, improve the assembly accuracy, enhance the load-bearing strength, reduce the deformation probability, and increase the use stability of the hinge.

A thin hinge includes a rotating part including a rotating member and a support frame; and a torsion providing part. The rotating member includes a first arcuate part and a second arcuate part, the first arcuate part forms two guide slots, the frame forms two lugs disposed in the guide slots and making the first arcuate part rotatable relative to the frame, the first and second arcuate parts open and close sequentially based on a rotation angle of the rotating member. The torsion providing part includes an assembly shaft disposed on the frame, a rotating shaft assembled to the second arcuate part, and a torsion providing member connected to the rotating and assembly shafts and providing torsion for the rotating member, the torsion providing member is composed of connecting rods moving with the rotating shaft when the second arcuate part is manipulated, and driving the assembly shaft to rotate.
