Hinge lock

The invention relates to a hinge lock consisting of a first hinge part for fastening to the outside of a door and a second hinge part for fastening on the outside of a door frame, wherein the first hinge part has an actuating device, by means of which the first and the second hinge part can be unlocked and locked with one another. The actuating device interacts with a shaft, which is suitable for passing through the door. An inner handle is arranged at the end of the shaft facing away from the actuating device, by means of which the first and the second hinge part can be unlocked and locked with one another. The shaft is surrounded by at least one pipe part.

HINGE STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

A hinge structure includes a fixing component and a pivoting base. The fixing component includes a fixing base and at least three torsion hooks. The fixing base includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other. The at least three torsion hooks are disposed side by side between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. Each of the torsion hooks includes a fixing end portion and a pressing end portion opposite to each other. The fixing end portion of the torsion hook at center is fixed to the first sidewall, and the pressing end portion is close to the second sidewall. The two fixing end portions of the two torsion hooks at two sides are respectively fixed to the second sidewall, and the two pressing end portions are respectively close to the first sidewall. A pivoting base is rotatably disposed at the torsion hook, and the three pressing end portions respectively press the pivoting base. An electronic device having a hinge structure is further provided.

Hinge for unhingeable sheet-metal cabinet doors

A hinge for unhingeable sheet-metal cabinet doors. A first hinge part, to be fastened to the door frame, has a bore hole or roll at a free end, through which a hinge pin extends. A second, U-shaped hinge part is connected to the door and surrounds the exposed end areas of the hinge pin in the mounted position. The U-shaped hinge part surrounds the first hinge part with first U-legs. The U-shaped hinge part includes a top part arranged in a bottom part. The top part has the shape of a U-shaped slide, with second U-legs, arranged to be displaceable between two end positions parallel to the extension of the first U-legs. The ends of the second U-legs close a lateral outlet opening for the hinge pin end in one end position, and expose the opening, through which the hinge pin end passes laterally, in the other end position.

ENCLOSURE WITH SLIDING AND PIVOTING COVER
20180178953 · 2018-06-28 ·

An enclosure comprises a housing defining an opening, and a cover movable between a closed position, a slide open position, and a hinge open position. The hinge open position is rotationally displaced about a hinge axis from the closed position, and the slide open position is translationally displaced from the closed position along a slide path that is perpendicular to the hinge axis. There is a position between the closed position and the slide open position in which rotation of the cover is inhibited. In one embodiment, the housing includes a hinge plate, and the cover includes a hinge follower adapted to engage the hinge plate when the cover is in the hinge open position. The housing further includes a flange that guides the hinge follower during movement of the cover between the closed position and the slide open position. The cover further includes a slide follower guided by the flange during movement of the cover between the closed position and the slide open position.

Break away door, trip unit and circuit breaker assembly including same

A hinge assembly includes first and second portions. One of the first and second portions includes first and second receptacles and the other one of the first and second portions includes first and second cylindrical members extending in opposite directions along a hinge axis and a thickened portion having a contoured outer surface disposed adjacent the cylindrical members. The second portion is moveable from: a first state wherein the first and second cylindrical members are disposed in the first and second receptacles such that the second portion is coupled to the first portion and generally free to rotate about the hinge axis through at least a predetermined degree range, and a second state in which the second portion is decoupled from the first portion responsive to the second portion being rotated beyond the predetermined degree range and the contoured outer surface interacting with a portion of the first portion.

Omni-directional connection assembly
09926971 · 2018-03-27 · ·

An omni-directional connection assembly broadly includes a hinge pin and one or more connection brackets. The hinge pin comprises a base section, a pair of primary walls, and a pair of opposed projections. The primary walls form a primary slot therebetween for receiving an engagement portion of a first panel therein. The opposed projections are spaced from the primary walls and form elongated passageways for allowing the primary walls to bend slightly outward for receiving the engagement portion of the first panel. The connection brackets are U-shaped for being positioned over the hinge pin and including flanges for attaching the connection brackets to a second panel. The first and second panels are then connected together at angles of between 0 and 180 degrees or more.
