Vehicles, latches and latch assemblies are provided with retaining brackets for selective engagement with hinges. In an exemplary embodiment, a latch assembly includes a body having an arm extending to a shaft defining an axis. The latch assembly further includes a hinge configured to slide in a tangential direction to the axis into engagement with the shaft and configured to rotate about the shaft to selected angular positions. Also, the latch assembly includes a retaining bracket configured for fixed connected to the body and for selective engagement with the hinge at the selected angular positions.

A hinge device includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member pivotably connected to the first connecting member by an axle. A rotary member and a limiting member are mounted in the axle. The rotary member includes a at least one positioning groove. The limiting member includes at least one positioning leg. The rotary member is actuatable by the first connecting member to pivot about the axle. The limiting member is fixed on the axle. The limiting member is located between the rotary member and a retaining device biasing the limiting member toward the rotary member. When the first connecting member pivots through an angle relative to the second connecting member, the at least one positioning leg engages with the at least one positioning groove, thereby positioning the first connecting member relative to the second connecting member.

A door system to provide a check function and door closing assistance in a vehicle is provided. The door system comprises a door hinge, a clip assembly attached to the door hinge and a door closing assist device disposed adjacent to the door hinge. The door hinge includes a body leaf fixed to a body of the vehicle, and a door leaf attached to a door of the vehicle and configured to be movable relative to the body leaf and the door leaf includes an engagement member. The clip assembly includes a check member having a distal end and a base end and the check member includes at least a first check portion adjacent to the distal end and a second check portion adjacent to the base end.

Hinge for the support and the maneuvering of doors, made up of two wing elements and provided with means for attachment to a frame part and respectively to a door portion, as well as mutually reinforcing means in a pivoting zone, the means being constituted by appendices internally hollow in the form of a cylindrical body projecting from the wing elements, characterized in that at least one of the appendices of the wings provides on the inner surface axial grooves suitable for housing a push-engagement element housed inside a pivot pin of the wing elements and protruding from it.

A locking ring with a center axis includes a first set of locking elements which extend radially from a first radial distance from the center axis of the locking ring to a second radial distance from the center axis, and which are arranged in a plurality of first groups including at least one locking element each, where the first groups are arranged in a circumferentially equidistant manner around the center axis, and a second set of locking elements, which extend radially from the first radial distance from the central axis to a third radial distance from the central axis, where the third radial distance is smaller than the second radial distance, and which are arranged in a plurality of second groups including at least one further locking element each. A rear view device for a vehicle and a motor vehicle with the rear view device are also described.

Vehicles, latches and latch assemblies are provided with retaining brackets for selective engagement with hinges. In an exemplary embodiment, a latch assembly includes a body having an arm extending to a shaft defining an axis. The latch assembly further includes a hinge configured to slide in a tangential direction to the axis into engagement with the shaft and configured to rotate about the shaft to selected angular positions. Also, the latch assembly includes a retaining bracket configured for fixed connected to the body and for selective engagement with the hinge at the selected angular positions.

Provided is a stay which is capable of stabilizing movement of a component part used for transmitting, or not transmitting, the torque of one of a first member and a second member to the other. When a second member rotates relative to a first member in one direction, a cam base moves away from a disk in the direction of the rotation axis, and the second member and the cam base rotate relative to the first member and the disk. When the second member rotates relative to the first member in the opposite direction, the cam base moves towards the disk in the direction of the rotation axis, and the second member, the cam base and disk rotate relative to the first member with resistance force.

A movable joint for an electronic device includes a first joint component having a body portion that encloses a wire lead and a tab portion coupled to the body portion, and a second joint component having a body portion that encloses the wire lead and a tab portion coupled to the body portion. The tab portion of the second joint component engages the tab portion of the first joint component with a pivot member interconnecting the tab portions to enable selective movement between the first and second joint components. The wire lead spans the movable joint between the engaged tab portions of the first and second joint components. At least one of the tab portions includes a recessed channel, the recessed channel at least partially containing the wire lead.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a vehicle desk operably coupled to a rear portion of a seatback. The vehicle desk is movable between at least a stowed position and a use position. A hinge assembly includes a finger-grip rotator knob assembly and a moveable element, such as a working surface or desk. The moveable element is operably coupled to, and rotatable with, the finger-grip rotator knob assembly.

A hinge arrangement includes a first hinge plate assembly including a pivot housing movable about a pivot axis and including a threaded adjustment pin transverse to the pivot axis away from the housing. A second hinge plate assembly includes an adjustment housing, the adjustment housing including a threaded portion. The threaded adjustment pin is threaded into the adjustment housing to connect the first hinge plate assembly to the second hinge plate assembly. Relative rotation between the threaded adjustment pin and the threaded portion of the adjustment housing causes the second hinge plate assembly to move along a length of the threaded adjustment pin, altering a spacing between a mount plate portion of the first hinge plate assembly and a mount plate portion of the second hinge plate assembly. A connection between the pivot housing and the first hinge plate assembly may include a torsional and/or gravity closing bias.
