An exemplary vehicle hinge assembly can include a hinge pin and a latch. The latch is configured to transition from a locked position to an unlocked position when the hinge assembly is opened in a first orientation, and is configured to stay in the locked position when the hinge assembly is opened in a second orientation different than the first orientation. The latch in the locked position blocks movement of the hinge pin from the engaged position. An exemplary securing method can include rotatably coupling a door to a vehicle body with a hinge assembly. When the hinge assembly not inverted, movement of a hinge pin of the hinge assembly from an engaged to a disengaged position is permitted. When and inverted, movement of a hinge pin from the engaged position is blocked.

Hinge assemblies having a tub knuckle, a lid leaf and a hinge pin assembly are provided. The tub knuckle has a base, a first pin holder extending from the base and a second pin holder extending from the base and spaced from the first pin holder. The lid leaf has a mounting plate and a pin holder. The hinge pin assembly is movable between a closed position and an open position, and includes a hinge pin and a retainer assembly that can be used to lock the hinge pin assembly in the closed and open positions.

A releasable ball lock hinge is disclosed. The releasable ball lock hinge includes a first body operable with a hinge ball and a release ball. Each ball can be movable within respective openings of the first body. The releasable ball lock hinge also includes a second body configured to rotatably interface and removably couple with the first body. The hinge ball releasably engages the second body. The second body has a release recess operable with the release ball to disengage the hinge ball and alternately couple and release the first body and the second body based on a relative position between the first body and the second body.

A glove box assembly includes a first tab adapted for coupling to a dashboard substrate. A glove box door includes a second tab. The glove box assembly includes a living hinge. A hinge pin is located within the tabs. The tabs are pivotably coupled to the hinge pin and the living hinge retains a longitudinal position of the hinge pin.

A rapidly disassembled hinge suitable for use in an aircraft includes a first attachment plate attached to a supported structure, a second attachment plate attached to a supporting structure, and a pin with a notch in an outer surface thereof, which is insertable into portions of the first and second attachment plates for pivotably connecting the first and second attachment plates together. The pin is inserted so that the notch is positioned within the second attachment structure when the hinge is in an assembled state. A key includes a main body and a distal end extending from the main body, the distal end being insertable within the notch of the pin. The key is movable such that the distal end of the key can be inserted into and removed from engagement with the notch of the pin to provide for toolless disassembly of the hinge.

A movable ballistic resistant panel includes ballistic resistant leaf hinges that allow multiple panels to be attached to each other to form an openable and movable barrier capable of numerous different configurations.

A glove box assembly includes a first tab adapted for coupling to a dashboard substrate. A glove box door includes a second tab. The glove box assembly includes a living hinge. A hinge pin is located within the tabs. The tabs are pivotably coupled to the hinge pin and the living hinge retains a longitudinal position of the hinge pin.

An exemplary vehicle hinge assembly can include a hinge pin and a latch. The latch is configured to transition from a locked position to an unlocked position when the hinge assembly is opened in a first orientation, and is configured to stay in the locked position when the hinge assembly is opened in a second orientation different than the first orientation. The latch in the locked position blocks movement of the hinge pin from the engaged position. An exemplary securing method can include rotatably coupling a door to a vehicle body with a hinge assembly. When the hinge assembly not inverted, movement of a hinge pin of the hinge assembly from an engaged to a disengaged position is permitted. When and inverted, movement of a hinge pin from the engaged position is blocked.

A hinged wall profile door assembly including a first and second longitudinal wall profile having a body configured for mounting to a wall, and a longitudinal hinge profile having a body configured to be received within an inner section of the first longitudinal wall profile. The assembly also includes a profile door, at least a first hinge assembly and a second hinge assembly secured to the longitudinal hinge profile and configured for mounting to the profile door, the first and second hinge assemblies having a body and a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the body is configured to be curved and the second end of the body is configured to form a longitudinal channel for receiving the profile door therethrough.

A pin of a hinge system movable between a first position and a second position is provided, wherein in the first position, the pin is received within a first component and a second component. The pin includes a cylindrical body coupled to an actuator for movement along an axis between the first position and the second position. A tip is removably attached to an end of the cylindrical body. The tip is configured to contact at least one of the first component and the second component when the pin is in the first position.
