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.

The present invention is directed to a stepless sliding doors system, comprising: two sliding doors (10), at least one of them comprising: two vertical poles (30); means (50) for rotating each of the vertical poles (30); to each side of the vertical poles (30) is firmly connected a hand-connector (36); each of the hand-connectors (36) is pivotally connected to a rail-cart (18) having two rollers (42); each of the rail-carts (18) comprises a horizontal hinge (58) disposed between the rollers (42), and a vertical springy hinge (70), for applying pulling or pushing force of the rollers on a rail thereof, thereby allowing placing the sliding doors of the system in the same plane when in the closed state of the doors, and shifting the doors one along the other in the open state thereof, and additionally preventing the wheels to deviate from a rail in the case of slight deformations.

The invention controls a power cinching function of a motor vehicle door latch in order to improve door seal performance under conditions wherein vibrations could otherwise reduce seal effectiveness. With the door latched closed in a flush condition, the vehicle speed is compared to a slow-speed threshold. When the vehicle speed is greater than the slow-speed threshold, then a vehicle vibration parameter is compared to a vibration threshold. When the vibration parameter is greater than the vibration threshold, then the power cinching function is activated to move the door to to a subflush condition which increases a compression of the seal between the door and a vehicle door frame. When the door is in the subflush condition, the vehicle speed continues to be compared to the slow-speed threshold, and when the vehicle speed is less than the slow-speed threshold then the door is released back to the flush condition.

The sliding element includes a sliding plate and a sealing device that includes at least one sealing element, which forms a sealing frame that is arranged on a rear side of the sliding plate and that extends peripherally along an edge of the sliding plate. The sliding plate includes a base plate and a flange plate, which is offset from the base plate, which is connected in one piece to the base plate and which is separated at its edge from the base plate by a circumferential anchor groove, which anchor groove serves for holding the at least one sealing element, which at least one sealing element includes an anchor member that is inserted into the anchor groove and that is connected via a connection body to a compression member.

A retention assembly may comprise a motor assembly and a self-locking worm drive coupled thereto. A cam may be fixed to a worm gear of the worm drive. The retention assembly may further comprise an actuation shaft including a follower. The actuation shaft may be displaceable over a displacement range via rotation of the cam. The retention assembly may further comprise a securement member with a securement member follower, the securement member coupled to a portion of the actuator shaft. The retention assembly may further comprise a housing cam included as part of the retention assembly housing and against which the securement member follower may be biased. The securement member may be in an open state when the actuation shaft is in a first position. The securement member may swing outward to a retaining position as the actuation shaft is moved to a second position.

The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a cabinet, a door and a hinge body. A guide block is fixedly provided on the door, a positioning shaft and a guiding shaft are provided on the hinge body, and a positioning groove and a guiding groove are provided on the guide block; the door of the refrigerator according to the present invention may be moved by a distance in a direction away from a pivoting side when being opened, thereby avoiding inconvenience of opening the door due to the protrusion of the side wall of the door.
