A portable information handling system housing rotationally couples first and second housing portions with a hinge assembly having first and second axles held in a parallel fixed lateral disposition by interaction of first and second chassis that slide to move the axles to varied distances. The first and second axles transfer rotation through one or more belts and first and second transfer pulleys rotationally coupled with members that adjust transfer pulley positions as the distance between the first and second axles change to maintain belt tension.

A hinge device for supporting an electronic device includes a first portion and a second portion movable relative to the first portion with a biasing element supported by one or the first portion or the second portion. The first portion has an arcuate groove, and the second portion has an arcuate rail configured to complementarily mate with the arcuate groove and slide therein. The biasing element contacts a leading edge of the other of the first portion or second portion, and the first portion and second portion are bistable in a closed state relative to one another and an open state relative to one another based at least partially on a surface profile of the biasing element applying a radial force to the leading edge.

A portable information handling system housing rotationally couples first and second housing portions with a hinge assembly having first and second breakaway brackets that define an adjacent position of the first and second housing portions relative to each other and a spread position. The first and second breakaway brackets expand the spacing between the first and second housing portions in the event that the housing portions close over an object disposed between them. The breakaway brackets bias to the adjacent position with a biasing device and a retainer that maintains the adjacent position unless a predetermined force is applied through the hinge assembly at the breakaway brackets.

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.

A container for transporting and storing liquid, viscous or pourable substances, in particular a container of the Intermediate Bulk Container type. The container has a base, a side wall, and at least one outlet recess in the base and/or the side wall, in which an outlet valve is or can be arranged and which is closable on the outside of the container by a cover. The cover has a base section, by which the cover is fastened or fastenable to the container, and a closure section which is hinged on the base section via a hinge assembly such that it can pivot about a rotational axis. The hinge assembly can hold or lock the closure section in a self-supporting manner in a position releasing the outlet recess.

Door assemblies, aircraft including door assemblies, and method for making door assemblies are provided. In one example, a door assembly includes a hinge subassembly and a door pivotally coupled to the hinge subassembly. The door has a channel disposed therein with a holding member disposed proximate a channel distal portion. A sliding member is movably disposed in the channel. An arm has a first portion pivotally coupled to a second hinge subassembly and a second portion pivotally coupled to the sliding member to move the sliding member as the door moves between a closed position and an open position. A stay member is coupled to the sliding member to move towards the holding member which holds the stay member in position when the door is moved to the open position to hold the door open.

A hinge support includes a support plate that defines a first aperture and a second aperture. A pivot has an anchor arm that is disposed within the first aperture defined by the support plate. The pivot has a raised surface, a recessed surface, and a graduated surface that is defined between the raised surface and the recessed surface. A cap is disposed over and operably coupled to the pivot. The cap has a projecting surface, a receiving surface, and a sloped surface that is defined between the projecting surface and the receiving surface. An engagement plate defines an opening and is disposed around the cap. The cap and the engagement plate are configured to translate between a first position and a second position relative to the support plate.

An appliance includes a door having a vertical support. A first pivot member defines a first pin receptacle and is coupled with a lower hinge mount coupled with an appliance body. The first pivot member includes a first protrusion having a first inclined surface and a first horizontal surface. A lower hinge support is fixedly coupled with the vertical support and is rotatable between first and second positions. A second pivot member is coupled with the lower hinge support, defines a second pin receptacle, and includes a second protrusion having a second inclined surface and a second horizontal surface. The second horizontal surface contacts the first horizontal surface in the first position. A lower hinge pin is coupled with the lower hinge support and is vertically translated within the first and second pin receptacles when the second pivot member moves between the first and second positions.

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a cabinet, a door and a hinge body. A guide block is provided on the door, a rotation shaft is provided on the hinge body, and rotation shaft grooves are provided on the guide block. With the structure of the hinge body, the gravity of the door and the friction force may be shared onto the first and second plate bodies of the hinge body, thereby reducing abrasion and prolonging the service life of the door of the refrigerator.
