Systems and methods are disclosed for preventing a display component of a portable information handling system from opening when in an upside down position. The portable information handling system may include a base component coupled to the display component by a gravity lockout hinge. The gravity lockout hinge may include a shaft, a bearing channel having a bearing channel surface opposite the shaft, and a movable bearing disposed in the bearing channel. The gravity lockout hinge may, when the portable information handling system is in an upside down position and a gravitational force is exerted on the display component, exert a first frictional torque on the shaft that may cause the movable bearing to contact the shaft and the bearing channel surface, and exert a second frictional torque on the shaft that may prevent an angular position of the display component relative to the base component from being changed.

A mechanical adaptation to a vehicle power window controls is provided that require less hand/finger coordination and less force to actuate, therefore becoming useful for persons with limited control of their hands (e.g., arthritis, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury, among others). A power window control includes four levers, one on each control switch. Two of the levers are long and the other two are shorter. The long levers are provided on the two switches further away from the user (which control the front and rear left side windows). The short levers are attached to the two switches closer to the user (which control the front and rear right side windows). The base of each lever can be attached to the corresponding switch through a heavy-duty double-sided tape, where for flat switches, the lever is attached directly to the switch surface and for contoured switches, an adapter can be provided between the base of the lever and the surface of the power window switch.

Provided is a hinge device easy to machine and manufacture. A shaft guiding recessed section and a fitting recessed section are formed on a first face of substrate of a hinge device base. As a first position adjusting mechanism, a substrate side guiding section is provided on a bottom face of the shaft guiding recessed section, and a first adjusting shaft is provided between the substrate and a first movable member. A first shaft-side guiding section of the first adjusting shaft engages with the substrate side guiding section by being accommodated in the shaft guiding recessed section, and a first shaft part of the first adjusting shaft rotatably engages with the first movable member. A fitting section is provided in the first movable member, and the fitting section is inserted into the fitting recessed section so as to be able to slide in a first direction.

A sliding rail low-obstacle linkage shower room include an upper rail and a lower rail, a fixed glass, a primary shower glass and a secondary shower glass. The lower rail is correspondingly fixed on a bottom of the secondary shower glass. A sliding block unit is installed on the lower rail. The sliding block unit includes a fixed portion, a sliding groove and a guidance sliding portion. The fixed portion is fixed on the bottom of the secondary shower glass. A bottom of the primary shower glass is inserted into the sliding groove to form a linkage. The guidance sliding portion is glidingly engaged with the lower rail. The linkage shower room has a simple structure which can be easily manufactured.

A hinge for cold rooms or glass shutters includes a stationary support structure and a shutter movable between an open position and a closed position. The hinge includes a hinge body with a working chamber; a pivot coupled with the hinge body; a cam element unitary with the pivot; a plunger element sliding in the working chamber, the plunger element having a slider with an operative face interacting with the cam element; a counteracting elastic member acting on the plunger element to move it between a position proximal to the bottom wall of the working chamber and a position distal therefrom. The hinge body has a substantially plate-like shape. The cam element includes an elongated appendix extending from the pivot to come in contact engagement with the operative face of the slider. The pivot is placed at one of the side walls of the working chamber.

Disclosed is a silent, soft-close compact hinge comprising of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm. A set of coil springs biases the hinge to a closed position. A damping mechanism is removably attached to the hinge cup and acted on by the hinge arm. A set of spring sleeves are fitted to the coil springs to insulate the movement of the coil springs on the hinge arm providing the closing bias. The hinge body is comprised of three separate plates adjustably connected to each other with cam screws. The position of the hinge body with respect to the hinge arm is adjustable in three directions without the need for removal or loosening of mounting hardware used to attach the hinge body to a furniture piece.

A sliding door roller system comprises a roller housing comprising a pair of generally vertical side members and an integral base portion including a projection on an inner surface thereof, the roller housing at least partially disposed within an outer housing; at least one roller wheel rotatably coupled to the roller housing; an outer housing moveable relative to the roller housing and the at least one roller wheel in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the at least one roller wheel; and a rotatable adjustment mechanism coupled to the roller housing and the outer housing. The adjustment mechanism is rotatable from an exterior of the outer housing and is adapted to index the outer housing relative to the roller housing in a plurality of height positions in situ under load of a panel secured to the outer housing.

Disclosed is a low profile, adjustable, soft close hinge comprised of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm and a hinge link in a four-bar linkage arrangement. A spring biases the hinge to a closed position. The hinge body is adjustably connected to an inner frame with an overlay adjustment screw and depth adjustment cam. The inner frame releasably connects the hinge body to a mounting plate. A stop bracket is adjustably and slidably connected to the hinge body by a cam. The adjustable position of the stop bracket relative to the hinge body determines the point at which the damping functionality of a damper begins during a hinge closing movement. A linkage sub-assembly pivotally connects the damper to the hinge link.
