A display case door assembly for a temperature-controlled storage device includes a vacuum panel, a hinge rail, and a lighting element. The vacuum panel includes a first vacuum pane, a second vacuum pane, and an evacuated gap between the first and second vacuum panes. The evacuated gap provides thermal insulation for the vacuum panel. The hinge rail is coupled to an edge of the vacuum panel and configured to rotate along with the vacuum panel between an open position and a closed position. The lighting element is coupled to at least one of the edge rail and the vacuum panel and configured to emit light toward an interior of the temperature-controlled storage device when the hinge rail and vacuum panel are in at least the closed position.

A refrigerated sales furniture (1) comprises at least one refrigerated goods storage space (2); at least two doors (3, 5) providing access to the refrigerated goods storage space (2), the at least two doors (3, 5) comprising a lower door (5) and an upper door (3) arranged on top of the lower door (5). The refrigerated sales furniture (1) further comprises a hinge (4), which is arranged between the upper door (3) and the lower door (5) for supporting the upper door (3) on the lower door (5) and allowing the doors (3, 5) to pivot around a vertical axis (A) independently from each other. The hinge (4) includes an upper pin (13) attached to or integral with the upper door (3) and a lower pin (11) attached or integral with to the lower door (5), the upper pin (13) is supported by the lower pin (11) and the two pins (11, 13) are rotatable with respect to each other around the vertical axis (A).

A showcase for preservation and display of objects. The showcase has a fixed casing and at least one openable panel made of glass, mounted through opening supports on the fixed casing, openable externally towards a first side of the showcase. The opening supports have an upper asymmetric quadrilateral and a lower asymmetric quadrilateral having the same geometry, respectively comprising a short upper rod and a long upper rod and a short lower rod and a long lower rod; the lengths of the short rods are equal to each other, as well as the lengths of the long rods are equal to each other. The opening takes place in a single roto-translation step. The asymmetric quadrilateral system formed by the uneven rods determines a roto-translational movement of the openable panel towards the first side of the showcase, so that the openable panel leaves the opening space completely free.

A display case door assembly for a temperature-controlled storage device includes a vacuum panel, a hinge rail, and a lighting element. The vacuum panel includes a first vacuum pane, a second vacuum pane, and an evacuated gap between the first and second vacuum panes. The evacuated gap provides thermal insulation for the vacuum panel. The hinge rail is coupled to an edge of the vacuum panel and configured to rotate along with the vacuum panel between an open position and a closed position. The lighting element is coupled to at least one of the edge rail and the vacuum panel and configured to emit light toward an interior of the temperature-controlled storage device when the hinge rail and vacuum panel are in at least the closed position.

A hinge mountable between a door jamb and an edge of a door panel has a jamb part set in the jamb, and a panel part fixed to the panel. A first link has one end pivoted at a first jamb axis in the jamb part and an opposite end pivoted at a first panel axis in the panel part, and a second link has one end pivoted at a second jamb axis in the jamb part offset from the first jamb axis and an opposite end pivoted at a second panel axis in the panel part. The axes all are substantially parallel and offset horizontally from one another. The two links are not connected directly to one another between their ends. The first and second links are U-shaped in a central section between their ends.

A modular merchandise display system is provided. The system comprises an enclosure, a first upper bracket and a first lower bracket forming a first pocket on a first side of the enclosure, and a second upper bracket and a second lower bracket forming a second pocket on a second side of the enclosure. A first security door is slidably and pivotally connected to the first upper and lower brackets. A second security door slidably and pivotally connected to the second upper and lower brackets. The security doors can be positioned exterior of the enclosure and then pivoted about the upper and lower brackets to be positioned substantially parallel to the front of the enclosure in a closed position. The security doors can then be secured to one another in the closed position.

A housing for a laboratory device, having floor, ceiling, rear, side, and front walls, which together form an operating chamber, wherein the front wall is movable upward and downward between a lowered closed position and a raised open position in a linear and simultaneously pivoting manner and, in the open position of the front wall, the operating chamber is open on the front side of the housing. The top wall section having top and bottom wall sections connected about a first pivot axis and transitions in an arc shape to a plate-shaped connection section extending at an angle to the top wall section, or is connected thereto in an angularly rigid manner, and a connection section is hinged in a pivoting manner to the ceiling on the edge thereof distant from the top wall section parallel to the first pivot axis, at a distance from the front wall.

A display case includes a housing partially surrounding a display space, a door pivotably coupled to the housing and cooperating with the housing to further enclose the display space, and a hinge assembly for pivotably coupling the door to the housing. The hinge assembly includes a biasing member applying a biasing force on the door and a gear drive for adjusting a pre-tension force on the biasing member.

In one general aspect, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a display case door that includes an insulated panel assembly that is transparent to visible light. The door further includes a door frame extending about and secured to a peripheral edge of the insulated panel assembly, an electronic display overlaying the insulated panel assembly, and at least one lift-off hinge including a first hinge component attached to a longitudinal side of the door frame, and a second hinge component coupled to the electronic display.
