A pivoting mechanism includes a first hollow tube and a second hollow tube. The second hollow tube is rotatably sleeved on the first hollow tube to generate a torsion force with the first hollow tube. An electronic device is also provided.

A pin assembly is provided with an axial centerline. This pin assembly includes an outer pin, an inner pin, a first collar and a second collar. The outer pin extends axially along the axial centerline between an outer pin first end and an outer pin second end. The inner pin extends axially along the axial centerline within a bore of the outer pin. The first collar circumscribes the outer pin. The first collar is connected to the outer pin and the inner pin at the outer pin first end. The second collar circumscribes the outer pin. The second collar is connected to the outer pin and the inner pin at the outer pin second end.

An interlocking hinge is described. The interlocking hinge includes a first hinge member and a second hinge member. The first hinge member and the second hinge member interlock in a separable engagement.

A flush-mount refrigerator is provided that includes a cabinet defining a compartment and including a pair of side walls that extends forwardly of the compartment. A pair of doors is coupled to the cabinet and positioned on either side of a centerline of the cabinet. The pair of doors are spaced apart by a predetermined spacing. A storage feature is positioned within the compartment of the cabinet and movable between an extended position and a recessed position when one or both of the pair of doors is in an open position. A hinge assembly is coupled to the cabinet and to one of the pair of doors. The hinge assembly includes a six-link mechanism that keeps the door within a predefined distance of at least one side wall when the door is moved from a closed position to the open position.

A refrigerator is provided herein. The refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a compartment. A door is configured to seal the compartment and is operable between open and closed positions. A hinge assembly is operably coupled to the cabinet and to the door. The hinge assembly includes a first link coupled to the cabinet. A second link is pivotable about the first link. A third link is pivotable about the second link and a fourth link. The fourth link is further coupled to the door. A fifth link is pivotable about the second link and the fourth link. A sixth link is pivotable about an intermediate portion of the fifth link and the first link. The sixth link is disposed through a void defined by the fifth link.

A temporary retaining device for use in a vehicle hinge to temporarily lock a vehicle door in an open position relative to a door frame includes a flat portion in which an opening is arranged. A fold protrudes from an edge of the flat portion. A load arm extends from the flat portion. The load arm comprises a projection formed as a retaining lug on an end facing away from the flat portion.

In one example, a double jointed hinge connects a blow molded plastic door and a blow molded plastic wall panel. The double jointed hinge includes a first hinge element that defines a first axis of rotation, and the first hinge element is connected to the blow molded plastic wall panel, a second hinge element that defines a second axis of rotation and is connected to the blow molded plastic door, and the second hinge element is spaced apart from the first hinge element, and a first link and a second link, the first link and the second link connecting the first hinge element to the second hinge element.

A movable ballistic resistant panel includes ballistic resistant leaf hinges that allow multiple panels to be attached to each other to form an openable and movable barrier capable of numerous different configurations.

A pivoting mechanism includes a first hollow tube and a second hollow tube. The second hollow tube is rotatably sleeved on the first hollow tube to generate a torsion force with the first hollow tube. An electronic device is also provided.

A hinge assembly includes a first hinge member including a first outer finger defining a first aperture, the first aperture including a first circumferential tapered surface, a second hinge member including a second outer finger defining a second aperture, the second aperture including a second circumferential tapered surface, and a fastener assembly including a first hub, a second hub, and a fastener, the first hub including a circumferential tapered surface that is complimentary to the first circumferential tapered surface, and the second hub including a circumferential tapered surface that is complimentary to the second circumferential tapered surface, the fastener assembly is configured to connect the first hinge member to the second hinge member.
