Gravity hinge system for use with glass doors
A hinge system for use with frameless glass shower doors is presented. The hinge system is self-closing or self-centering and includes angular adjustability in two planes to aid in door alignment. The door hinge system further includes drop-in pivot pins which aid in shower door installation and also includes adapter plates that allow for installation to glass walls and further includes adapter plates that allow door panels equipped with the hinge system to be installed as fixed panels at various angles.
Hinge assembly for an appliance door
A hinge assembly includes a first hinge element having a hinge pin with upper and lower portions and an engagement portion outwardly extending from the hinge pin. The engagement portion of the first hinge element includes a lower surface having an upwardly angled portion and an abutment surface. A second hinge element includes a body portion surrounding a hollow interior portion and further includes a contoured upper rim having a downwardly angled portion and an abutment surface. The lower portion of the hinge pin of the first hinge element is slideably received in the hollow interior portion of the second hinge element. The first hinge element rotates between a first position, wherein the abutment surface of the first hinge element abuts the abutment surface of the second hinge element, and a second position, wherein the abutment surfaces of the first and second hinge elements are spaced-apart from one another.
Accessory positioning system for cable manager
An accessory positioning system for a cable manager includes a spine, a lateral member, an accessory rod, and an accessory. The spine has an extruded construction and defines a y-axis of a three-dimensional space. The lateral member has an extruded construction and defines an x-axis of the three-dimensional space. The spine is slidably paired with the lateral member to facilitate infinite adjustability of the spine along the x-axis within a range defined by the lateral member. The accessory rod has an extruded construction and defines a z-axis of the three-dimensional space. The accessory rod protrudes from the spine and is slidably paired therewith to facilitate infinite adjustability of the accessory rod along the y-axis within a range defined by the spine. The accessory is slidably paired with the accessory rod to facilitate infinite adjustability of the accessory along the z-axis within a range defined by the accessory rod.

Arrangements for closing access member, and access member systems
An arrangement for closing an access member rotatable relative to a frame, the arrangement comprising a frame part for fixation to the frame; an access member part for fixation to the access member, the access member part being rotatable relative to the frame part about a hinge axis between a closed position and an open position; a mechanical force device configured to store mechanical energy from an opening movement of the access member part from the closed position to the open position, and configured to release the stored mechanical energy to a closing movement of the access member part from the open position to the closed position; an electromagnetic generator arranged to be driven by the closing movement to generate electric energy; and a freewheel arranged to disengage during the opening movement and to engage during the closing movement to drive the generator.
