A left-right door opening mechanism comprises a hinge module arranged on a door body and a transmission module arranged on a cabinet body. The transmission module comprises a transmission bottom plate, two first gears oppositely arranged on the transmission bottom plate, a transmission rack which is in transmission through the first gears, and second gears which are in transmission with the first gears respectively. The transmission rack is guided and limited by the second gears. The hinge module comprises a hinge bottom plate and two hinges oppositely arranged on the hinge bottom plate. The hinges are in transmission with the first gears. When the two hinges are respectively meshed with the first gears, the door body is locked. When the hinge on one side is disengaged from the first gear but the hinge on the other side is still meshed with the other first gear, the door body is opened.

A laundry treating appliance can include a chassis defining an interior, with a tub and a drum provided in the interior to define a treating chamber for treating articles according to a cycle of operation. A door can selectively open an access opening in the chassis for accessing the treating chamber. The door can include a hinge assembly having a first hinge arm and a second hinge arm coupled to an actuator arm. Operation of a handle assembly can actuate the actuator arm and can selectively couple the first hinge arm at a first hinge or the second hinge arm at a second hinge to open the door in a first or second direction.

The present invention discloses a left-right door opening mechanism and a refrigerator. The left-right door opening mechanism comprises first modules symmetrically arranged on the left side and the right side of a door body, and second modules symmetrically arranged on the left side and the right side of a refrigerator body. Each first module comprises a mounting bottom plate and gears rotatable on the mounting bottom plate. Each first module is provided with an opening. Each second module comprises a rack in transmission with the corresponding gear, a hinge used for fixing the rack, a rotating shaft mounted in cooperation with the hinge, and a guiding slider fixedly located below the hinge. When the left-right door opening mechanism is in a locked state, the rotating shafts are accommodated in the openings.

A laundry appliance including a chassis with a cabinet enclosing an interior of the appliance. A tub is provided within the appliance defining a liquid chamber. A drum is provided in the liquid chamber defining a treating chamber for treating articles according to a cycle of operation. The treating chamber can be enclosed by a door, selectively openable by a user to access the treating chamber. The door can be selectively opened in three different ways.

A system and method for a dual-opening cabinet door. The system includes a double-hinge. The system includes at least a first arm coupled to a first connecting hinge. The first arm is coupled to an additional hinge. The first connecting hinge is releasably connected to a support hinge to allow a cabinet door to open from either side.

Disclosed in the present invention are a door of a refrigeration device, and a refrigeration device. The door comprises a door main body, a retractable shaft, a handle and a first return member. The door main body is used for closing an opening of a refrigeration space. The retractable shaft is slidably disposed on the door main body, with an outer end of the retractable shaft being able to slide with the retractable shaft and extend outwards or retract inwards, and with a first guide face being provided on the retractable shaft. The handle is capable of rotating on the door main body, the handle being provided with a drive part cooperating with the first guide face, wherein when the drive part rotates with the handle, the drive part can slide along the first guide face and drive the retractable shaft to slide inwards. The first return member is connected separately to the door main body and the retractable shaft, and drives the retractable shaft to slide outwards. In the door, by making use of the cooperation between the drive part of the handle and the first guide face, the retractable shaft is driven to slide by the rotation of the handle directly, with no need for another connecting rod structure; the overall structure is simple, the failure rate is low, reliability is high, little space is occupied, and arrangement is convenient.

A vertical cable manager includes a base frame and a door. The base frame has upper and lower support legs and upper and lower crossbars between the support legs. The door has retractable hinge pins at corners of the door. The crossbars have hinge rod receptacles to receive respective hinge pins and elastic latch members having a flexible arm and a catch portion. The catch portions secure the hinge pins in the hinge rod receptacles with the door closed and are deflectable through elastic deformation of the flexible arm to allow travel of the hinge pins through the hinge rod receptacles and past the catch portions when the door is moved from an open to a closed position.

A gap is maintained between: an outer surface of a shaft which is inserted in and removed from a hole of a box body and serves as a rotation shaft; and a hole wall, while axial misalignment of the shaft in the hole is inhibited. In a double opening storage device, a lid has two shafts that extend so as to advance and retract along two rotation shafts. Each shaft has a cut portion which is obtained by a part of a circumferential portion of a leading end portion being cut out and disposed in a lower portion at lid closed position. The box body has two holes, formed in a side wall, corresponding to the two shafts of the lid, and has a projection that projects upward from a lower surface of the hole wall of each hole, and that moves the shaft upward when the lid is opened.

Systems and methods for implementing a bi-directional, or two-way door which can be opened from either the left or right side using, in one embodiment, a transfer bar connected to a pair of hinge pins so as to cause each pair to alternatingly insert into or retreat from receivers in a door frame on opposing sides. In a second embodiment, a pair of wheels with offset camming surfaces alternatingly operate corresponding lifting elements to engage or disengage hinge pins on opposing sides of a door.
