Disclosed herein is a refrigerator that has an improved structure to facilitate assembling of a door and a main body which are separable from each other. The refrigerator includes a main body that forms an exterior appearance, a storage compartment that is provided inside the main body, a door that is rotatably coupled to the main body so as to open and close an open front surface of the storage compartment, and a hinge bracket that connects the main body and the door. Here, the hinge bracket includes a first bracket that is coupled to the main body and a second bracket that is coupled to the door and detachably coupled to the first bracket.

The present invention is directed to a Cabinet for a recreational vehicle having a main housing with an interior space, a front opening, a left side and a right side; and a door configured to seal the front opening. The cabinet further comprises a left hinge mechanism with a left hinge axis and a right hinge mechanism with a right hinge axis to selectively couple the door hinge-wise to the left side or the right side so that the door can either be rotated about the left hinge axis or the right hinge axis. The door comprises a left handle which is operably coupled to the left hinge mechanism and the right hinge mechanism so that operating the left handle allows to rotate the door about the right hinge axis. The door further comprises a right handle which is operable coupled to the left hinge mechanism and the right hinge mechanism so that operating the right handle allows to rotate the door about the left hinge axis. The left hinge mechanism comprises a left locking member separate from the left hinge axis and the right hinge mechanism comprises a right locking member separate from the right hinge axis; and the left locking member and the right locking member are in engagement with a blocking element. Operating the left handle displaces the blocking element so that the left locking member is disengaged from the blocking element, and operating the right handle displaces the blocking element so that the right locking member is disengaged from the blocking element.

The invention relates to a firearm comprising a housing (1), having a cartridge feed (2), a breechblock, an impacting unit having a trigger, optionally a magazine shaft (3) for holding a magazine (4), and a unit (5) of two barrels (6, 7) arranged one over the other. The upper barrel (6) is longer than the lower barrel (7). Guide protrusions (8) are provided on the unit (5) of the two barrels (6, 7), which guide protrusions are guided in corresponding control tracks (9, 10) in the housing (1), whereby the two barrels (6, 7) can be moved along the control tracks (9, 10) between two end positions, wherein, when each end position is reached, alternately one of the two barrels (6, 7) aligns with the cartridge feed (2) and therefore forms the active barrel, which can be locked in this position.

A combination hinge and latch that enables a door, gate or lid to be opened from a latched side and latched from the hinged side to provide more than one point of access for an area behind the door, gate or lid.

A left-and-right door opening mechanism comprises a locking box assembly disposed on a refrigerator body and a hinge module disposed on a refrigerator door body. The hinge module comprises a first hinge and a second hinge. The locking box assembly comprises a locking box body and a locking plate. A first opening and a second opening are respectively formed in two sides of the locking box body. A first groove and a second groove are respectively formed in two sides of the locking plate. The locking plate moves in the locking box body to align the first opening with the first groove or to align the second opening with the second groove. The first hinge or the second hinge is disengaged from the first opening and the first groove or from the second opening and the second groove to realize door opening from the left side or the right side.

A hinge for a door or window, including frame and wing parts. The frame part is connected via a joint to a hinge strap extending normally to the rabbet into a receptacle in the wing part to a penetration depth that corresponds to a multiple of the thickness thereof. A clamping part, displaceable in the insertion direction, fixes the hinge strap in position, is pretensioned towards the rabbet by a spring, is arranged under the receptacle and has a guiding section and a clamping section protruding upwards towards the hinge strap into the receptacle. When inserted, the free end of the hinge strap moves the clamping section counter to the spring force. After the hinge strap has been fully inserted and the wing part has been lowered, the clamping part returns to the starting position and the clamping section bears against a lower end face section of the hinge strap.

A hinge to removably mount a tailgate to a vehicle is provided. The hinge comprises a tailgate leaf connected to a tailgate and a body leaf connected to the box of the vehicle. The tailgate leaf is attached to the slider through a hinge pivot. The body leaf has a first chamber in which a slider can be locked and unlocked through a locking mechanism in the second chamber. The locking mechanism comprises a locking wedge, a threaded shaft, and a cam lever to operate the locking wedge without the requirement of a tool.
