A free embedded refrigerator which includes a cabinet, a door and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge part, a second hinge part and a switching assembly connected with the first hinge part and the second hinge part. When the door is in an opening process, the first hinge part moves relative to the switching assembly to drive the door to rotate in situ relative to the cabinet, and then, the switching assembly drives the second hinge part to move relative to the switching assembly to drive the door to continuously rotate in situ. The refrigerator can adjust opening-closing freedom degree of the door, and various motion tracks may be generated to adapt to different application scenarios.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator, including a cabinet, a door for opening and closing the cabinet, and a hinge assembly for connecting the cabinet and the door, the door comprises a door gravity center, when the door is in an opening process, the hinge assembly drives the door gravity center to move towards the cabinet. In the present invention, the hinge assembly drives the door gravity center to move towards the cabinet, thereby effectively preventing the refrigerator from toppling and falling.

The present invention discloses a hinge assembly with a baffle and a refrigerator having the same. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge part, a second hinge part and the baffle, a driving groove is provided in the first hinge part, a driving shaft is provided on the second hinge part, the baffle includes a pivoting portion, a shielding portion and an opening, the baffle is pivotally connected with the first hinge part by the pivoting portion, the driving shaft penetrates through the opening to move in the driving groove, and the driving shaft drives the baffle to rotate around the pivoting portion, such that the shielding portion shields at least part of the driving groove. In the present invention, the driving groove is shielded by the baffle, thus preventing dust, foreign matter, or the like, from entering the driving groove of the hinge assembly.

A hinge assembly for a door of a household appliance has a first hinge and a second hinge. The first hinge includes a base portion and a door receiving portion.

The second hinge includes a mounting block and a door plate. The door plate has a door receiving portion that has at least one elongated slot to enable positioning of the door receiving portion. The door plate is secured via at least one fastener to the mounting block. The mounting block is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the door plate for positioning the door.

[Problem] To provide a safety device for a sliding door with which finger pinching can be automatically prevented without manually operating a stopper, and which can be smoothly closed without a resistance that acts when closing the sliding door. [Solution] A safety device for a sliding door is provided with a guide frame 11 and a feed plate 12 that are mounted on the opening side and the sliding door side, respectively, so as to face each other. A low-speed movement groove 38a and a lock groove 38b are provided on the guide frame 11 side. A contact face 12c that is inclined to contact a disk roller is provided on the feed plate 12 side. In addition, when the feed plate 12 collides with the disk roller 14 at a force stronger than or equal to a prescribed value, the shaft 14b of the disk roller 14 is moved from inside the low-speed movement groove 38a to inside the lock groove 38b and the movement of the disk roller 14 in the left-right direction is locked.

A hinge system for a panel includes a first plate configured for coupling to a structure, a second plate rotatably coupled to the first plate and disposed on a first side of the panel, a third plate disposed on a second side of the panel opposite the first side, and a slider piece disposed within the panel, the slider piece having a first slot disposed therein. The second plate is coupled to the third plate via at least one fastener, wherein the at least one fastener is configured to slide within the first slot of the slider piece such that the panel may translate relative to the second and the third plates.

A port-door release assembly includes a door and a linkage coupled to the door to support the door during movement between open and closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a drive shaft coupled to the linkage to drive movement of the linkage. The port-door release assembly includes a motor configured to rotate the drive shaft which moves the linkage and the door to the open and/or closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a back-up release assembly movable relative to the linkage to disconnect the drive shaft from the linkage which allows the door to move to the open position without actuation of the motor. A door assembly includes the port-door release assembly as described above and a housing defining a port in which the door is movable relative to the housing between the open position that uncovers the port and the closed position that covers the port.

A door hinge for a laboratory instrument door, the door hinge comprising a hollow body with a first longitudinal axis and a curved side wall comprising a track. At least a part of the track is inclined relative to the first longitudinal axis. The door hinge further comprises a linear guiding element with a second longitudinal axis parallel to the first longitudinal axis. At least a part of the linear guiding element is arranged in the hollow. The linear guiding element and the hollow body are rotatable against each other. The door hinge further comprises a body comprising a protruding pin. The body is movably attached to the linear guiding element so that the body is movable in two opposite directions along the second longitudinal axis and the protruding pin is movable on the track.

A hinge, in particular a multi-joint hinge, has a mounting plate fixable on a body or a door and a side part, which is held on the mounting plate and on which a hinge part is pivotably mounted, wherein the side part is displaceable on the mounting plate in a longitudinal direction via a depth adjustment unit and the side part is pivotable in relation to the mounting plate by a vertical adjustment unit.
