A control device for controlling the movement of a corner cabinet door of a corner cabinet, wherein the corner cabinet door has a first door element which is mounted on the cabinet carcass in the vicinity of the door opening by means of a door bearing device and a second door element which is mounted swivelably on the first door element via swivel bearing means, with a base part which can be fixed onto the cabinet carcass and a control part which is mounted on the base part so as to be moveable between an inner position and an outer position in which it projects beyond the plane of the door opening, wherein the control part can be coupled with the second door element when closing by means of coupling means and uncoupled when opening, such that it controls the movement of the second door element at the end the closing phase and at the beginning of the opening phase.

Hinge members and foldable structures incorporating the same are described herein. A foldable structure includes a section, a brace, and a hinge member attaching to the section to enable the section to move between a folded position and an extended position. The hinge member includes a first bracket and a second bracket that are hingedly joined to each other. The first bracket includes a first flange that is integrally formed and extending from the first bracket. The first brace is attached, between the first flange of the first bracket and a surface of a different structure, to the first hinge member.

Disclosed is a self-closing, soft-close compact hinge comprising of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm. A coil spring wrapped around the hinge cup provides the self-closing functionality and biases the hinge to a closed position. A damper is contained within the hinge cup in the path of the swinging hinge arm and guided by a damper cover fixedly attached to the hinge cup. 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 hinge for a refrigerator includes a hinge support configured to be mounted on a front surface of a cabinet of the refrigerator, where the hinge support has a plate shape and defining a coupling hole, a hinge bracket including an insertion part configured to be inserted into the coupling hole, where the hinge bracket is coupled to the hinge support along a longitudinal direction of the hinge support, and a hinge pin that is configured to mount to the hinge bracket and that is configured to allow a door of the refrigerator to rotate about the hinge pin. The hinge support includes a bracket support that at least partially surrounds the coupling hole and protrudes from a front surface of the hinge support, the bracket support being configured to provide support to the hinge support.

A decelerated hinge for furniture, which comprises a hinge arm, a hinge box fixable to a door and swingably connected to the hinge arm by an articulation axis at a rear wall of the hinge box, elastic closing means for closing the hinge and a linear-type decelerating device comprising a housing body, a slider, a fluid damper and elastic return means, wherein the hinge box has at least one opening in at least one of a front and/or side walls, and wherein the housing body has at least a retaining protrusion conformed and arranged to be inserted in the at least one opening in such a way to be protruding outside the hinge box, wherein the retaining protrusion inserted in the opening cooperates with fixing means by which the housing body is fixed in the hinge box.

A double axial hinge for a console creates myriad combinations of folding, opening, closing, and extending of doors, panels, and windows of a console. The hinge provides a fixed central panel having a pair of edges. A first pivoting axis and a second pivoting axis in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship enable pivoting about the central panel up to 360 degrees from two directions. The ends of the hinge utilize a first L-shaped bracket and second L-shaped bracket that pivot independently of each other and have a broad L-shape that can be mounted on various mounting surfaces. The L-shaped brackets have a mounting panel that mounts to the console and a hinging panel that pivots about the respective pivoting axes. In an alternative embodiment of the hinge, at least one tab extends from the second pivoting axis restricts pivoting in a first direction about a central panel beyond 90 degrees.

Disclosed is a removable compact hinge for pivotal connection between a furniture piece and a door. The apparatus incorporates a clamping attachment mechanism in order to avoid permanent mounting holes and to provide quick installation and adjustable installation location. The apparatus comprises a hinge cup pivotally connected to an attachment mechanism ion with a hinge arm. The attachment mechanism comprises a base slidably engaged with a sliding body, the sliding body including an adjustable pressure plate. A lever works with a set of links to slide the sliding body with respect to the base towards the furniture piece and mechanically and releasably clamp the attachment mechanism to the furniture piece without the use of typical wood screws thereby preserving the integrity of the furniture piece. The apparatus further includes adjustability in the vertical, horizontal, and lateral directions.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator including a cabinet (10) defining a first storage region (2) for storing food, a door (20) for opening and closing the first storage region (2), a gasket (26) which is provided on an inner surface of the door (20) and seals the first storage region (2) from outdoor air by forming a sealing boundary when the door (20) closes the first storage region (2), a first hinge member (40) which has a rotary shaft (42) and rotatably connects the door (20) to the cabinet (10) out of the sealing boundary, a container (100) which defines a second storage region for storing food and is received in the first storage region (2), and a second hinge member (200) which is fixed, at one side thereof, to the container (100) within the sealing boundary while being rotatably connected, at the other side thereof, to the door (20), the second hinge member (200) having a rotary shaft (206) which is vertically and linearly aligned with the rotary shaft (42) of the first hinge member (40).
