The first receiving arrangement (200a) is arranged for enabling rotational movement of the door blade (10) around the first gate post (20) when disengaged from the second receiving arrangement (210). There is also provided a maze using an electromagnetic gate arrangement.

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.

Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment, a first door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the first door being configured to open or close one side of the storage compartment, a second door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the second door being configured to open or close a remaining side of the storage compartment, the second door having a pillar configured to be rotated so as to come into contact with the first door, a first link device provided outside of the storage compartment, the first link device being operated in contact with the first door and the second door at a top of the cabinet, and a second link device configured to be operated by the first link device, the second link device serving to rotate the pillar.

The storage device (1) comprises a storage compartment (2), comprising an upper opening (10), and a lid (6), said lid (6) being movable between a closed position and a first opened position, wherein the storage compartment (2) is accessible from a first side (12) of the opening (10), and a second opened position, wherein the storage compartment (2) is accessible from a second side (14) of the opening (10). The storage compartment (2) comprises a locking device comprising a first locking element (16) and a second locking element (18), respectively extending on the first side (12) and the second side (14) of the opening (10), each locking element (16, 18) being engaged in the lid (6) in the closed position in order to lock said lid (6), the storage compartment (2) further comprising an unlocking device selectively actuable to retract the first locking element (16) from the lid (6), while maintaining the second locking element (18) engaged in the lid (6), to move the lid (6) towards its first opened position, and to retract the second locking element (18) from the lid (6), while maintaining the first locking element (16) engaged in the lid (6), to move the lid (6) towards its second opened position.

A closable device for holding objects in a vehicle, encompassing a base body and a cover, is provided. The base body exhibits an opening that can be closed by the cover, and the cover can be swiveled around a first hinge from a first position into a second position and vice versa. The cover can be swiveled around a second hinge from the first position into a third position and vice versa. The base body encompasses at least one first bearing for the first hinge, and at least one second bearing for the second hinge. The first hinge and the second hinge each exhibit at least one first hinge section and at least one second hinge section, and a cross sectional area of the first hinge section is respectively larger than a cross sectional area of the second hinge section.

A hinge includes: a base portion extending in a first direction; a protruding portion having a projection projecting in the first direction; a spring portion configured to be elastically deformed in the first direction; and an operation portion. The base portion, the protruding portion, the spring portion, and the operation portion are made of a resin and integrally formed.

A console assembly includes a box member, a lid member, a bracket, a first joint part, and a second joint part. The box member defines an opening. The lid member covers the opening of the box member. The bracket is disposed between the box member and the lid member. The first joint part pivotably couples the bracket and the box member about a first rotational axis extending along a first direction to switch the lid member between a closed position and a first open position in which the bracket is attached to the lid member. The second joint part pivotably couples the lid member and the bracket about a second rotational axis extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to switch the lid member between the closed position and a second open position in which the bracket is attached to the box member.
