An appliance includes a door with a plurality of panels spaced apart by a vertical support. A lower hinge mount is coupled with an appliance body. A first pivot member is coupled with the lower hinge mount and includes a first protrusion. A lower hinge support is fixedly coupled with the vertical support and includes an elongate coupling plate and a hinge arm that extends orthogonal relative to a longitudinal extent of the elongate coupling plate. A stop extends from the hinge arm. A second pivot member has a receiving space that receives the stop. The second pivot member includes a second protrusion that is in abutting contact with the first protrusion. A lower hinge pin extends through the lower hinge support and the second pivot member. The lower hinge pin is vertically translated when the second pivot member moves from a first position to a second position.

The present invention relates to novel lignin-derived compounds and compositions comprising the same and their use as redox flow battery electrolytes. The invention further provides a method for preparing said compounds and compositions as well as a redox flow battery comprising said compounds and compositions. Additionally, an assembly for carrying out the inventive method is provided.

A damping apparatus for glove compartments, includes the following: an elastic element designed so as to be stretched by a relative movement of two components that are movable in relation to one another, whereby a damping effect of the relative movement of the components is produced; a stopping apparatus designed so as to contact the elastic element during the relative movement of the two movable components and to deform such that, from the start of the contact, there results a change in the damping effect caused by the elastic element.

A sealing assembly for pressing a garage door horizontally into weather stripping or a door jamb; the sealing assembly having at least one cam-stop assembly, the cam-stop assembly further having at least one cam assembly, at least one linking assembly coupling the cam-stop assembly to the cam assembly, and at least one stop brace. The garage door is sealed when a combination of cam-stop assemblies having cam assemblies—further comprising at least two triangular hinge plates and corners—couple with stop braces and rotate counter-clockwise by exertion of torque to move the garage door forward and downward to form a snug seal with the side of the door jamb and also the bottom floor.

Disclosed are a hinge and a refrigeration equipment. The hinge includes a vertical hinge shaft, a first hinge base and a second hinge base. The first hinge base includes a first installation plate and a first sleeve rotatably connected to the hinge shaft to make the first sleeve rotate around the hinge shaft. A lower end of the first sleeve is provided with a first slope sloping downwards. The second hinge base below the first hinge base includes a second installation plate and a second sleeve fixed on the hinge shaft. An upper end of the second sleeve is provided with a second slope sloping upwards. The second slope abuts against and cooperates with the first slope for the first sleeve to move from a first position to a second position along a direction away from the second sleeve or from the second position to the first position along a direction close to the second sleeve while being rotated around the hinge shaft.

A hinge device includes a fixed element with a plate that can be anchored to a stationary supporting structure, and a movable element with a hinge body that can be anchored to a closing element. Adjustment elements for the position of the hinge body and the plate include a pair of opposite longitudinal projections integrally joined to a pin that can be inserted into a slot defined in the plate. A pair of adjustment grub screws at the slot promotes the joined rotation of the longitudinal projections and the pin. The hinge body further includes a seat, for the mutual movement of the pin and of the hinge body, with a damping system interacting by friction with the pin to differentially dampen the rotation of the pin and the hinge body. The hinge device may be fixed to the closing element with a pair of clamping elements.

A latching system for securing a door to a panel includes a pawl having a first end that is configured to releasably engage a striker on the panel, and a second end opposite the first end having a connector. A pawl connector is connected to the connector on the second end of the pawl. The pawl connector includes a hollow cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis, a revolved outer side wall extending about the longitudinal axis, an open end through which the connector of the pawl is positioned, an opening defined on the revolved side wall of the cylindrical body, and a deformable portion formed on the revolved outer side wall. The deformable portion extends between the open end and the opening. The deformable portion is configured to elastically deform upon inserting the connector through the open end until the connector is non-removably seated within the opening.

A door hinge has a first leaf assembly, a second leaf assembly, and a link assembly connected to the leaf assemblies for pivoting of the second assembly on the first assembly. An adjuster in the first leaf assembly can displace the link assembly relative to the first leaf assembly and thereby adjust a position of the door in the frame. The adjuster has an adjusting element projecting from the first leaf assembly in the closed position. The second leaf assembly is formed with a recess in which the projecting adjuster engages in the closed position.

A door hinge has a first leaf assembly, a second leaf assembly pivotally mounted on the first leaf assembly, a first adjustment part on the first leaf assembly, and a second adjustment part adjustable in an adjustment direction relative to the first adjustment part. An eccentric mounted on the first adjustment part for rotation about an eccentric axis engages in the second adjustment part. A screw thread connection secures the eccentric to the first adjustment part.

A dashpot comprising: a closed cylinder cavity and a damper shaft (24) which are rotatable with respect to one another; a piston (47) which is slideable between two extreme positions; and a motion converting mechanism to convert the relative rotation between the cylinder barrel (17) and the damper shaft (24) into a sliding motion of the piston (47). The motion converting mechanism comprises two co-operating screw threads, one (58) being provided on an outer wall of the piston (47) and the other one being provided on an inner wall of the cylinder barrel (17) or on an inner wall of a plastic tubular element fixed to the cylinder barrel. By providing the screw thread (58) on the outside of the piston (47), the diameter of the screw thread (58) is increased thereby increasing its lead and thus causing a higher volume of hydraulic fluid to be displaced during operation of the dashpot.
