An opening and closing device includes an upper arm and a lower arm spaced apart in an up-and-down direction and extend between a vehicle door and a vehicle body, a connecting member connecting first end portions of the upper and lower arms, a body-side upper hinge and a body-side lower hinge attached to the vehicle body supporting the connecting member rotatably, a door-side upper hinge attached to the vehicle door to support a second end portion of the upper arm rotatably, a door-side lower hinge attached to the vehicle door to support a second end portion of the lower arm rotatably, and a driving device causing the upper and lower arms to rotate about a first and second rotational axes, and the driving device is attached to the connecting member.

A door opening system for a rear door of a motor vehicle in which a rear door first moves backwards and outwardly away from the car shell prior to the rear door then swinging outwardly away from the front of the car. The car shell does not have a B-pillar so that a large, convenient opening is provide with the front door opening forwardly and the rear door opening rearwardly. The door opening system includes: a car shell; a rear slider rail attached to the car shell; a rear door hinge assembly configured to move along the rear slider rail; with the rear door mounted onto the rear door hinge assembly, wherein the rear door hinge assembly moves along the rear slider rail in a direction rearwardly and away from the car shell prior to the rear door being outwardly rotatable on the rear door hinge assembly.

The present disclosure provides a hinge, a freight container that includes the hinge and a freight container that includes a locking rod and optionally the hinge. The hinge includes a locking pin, a first wing, a second wing and a first hinge pin that pivotally connects the first wing to the second wing. The hinge further includes a pair of hinge lugs each having a first set of surfaces defining openings through which a second hinge pin passes and at least one of the pair of hinge lugs having a surface defining an opening through which a locking pin reversibly travels. The locking rod is mounted to the door of the freight container, where the locking rod includes a cam that can move between a first predetermined position where the cam can engage the cam keeper and a second predetermined position where the cam is disengaged from the cam keeper and can travel past the end frame of the freight container and the cam keeper as the door travels into the volume of the freight container.

A hinge assembly comprises a link arm; a first pivot connected to a door leaf and the link arm; a second pivot parallel, distant to the first pivot, and connected to a body leaf and the link arm; a first gear attached to the first pivot; a second gear attached to the second pivot; and an idler gear engaging the first and second gears at a plane substantially perpendicular to the first pivot.

A hinge apparatus can include a frame component of an aircraft interior component; a door component coupled to an aircraft door assembly; and a hinge assembly coupled to the frame component and the door component. The hinge assembly can be operable between an open configuration, an intermediate configuration, and a closed configuration. The hinge assembly may include a first hinge body, and a second hinge body coupled to the door component, the second hinge body pivotably moving the door component about a first pivot point when the hinge assembly moves from the closed configuration to the intermediate configuration, and the second hinge body moving the door component about a second pivot point that is different from the first pivot point when the hinge assembly moves from the intermediate configuration to the open configuration. Related methods are also provided.

A vehicle door includes a door panel slidably operable between a secured position within a door aperture and a staging position partially distal from the door aperture. A latch is engaged with a striker path during operation of the door panel between the secured and staging positions, and is selectively disengaged from the striker path to define open and closed positions of the door panel when the door panel is in the staging position.

A hinge assembly comprises a link arm; a first pivot connected to a door leaf and the link arm; a second pivot parallel; distant to the first pivot, and connected to a body leaf and the link arm; a first gear attached to the first pivot; a second gear attached to the second pivot; and an idler gear engaging the first and second gears at a plane substantially perpendicular to the first pivot.

An aircraft door, an aircraft region and an aircraft with an aircraft door. The aircraft door through which passengers enter and leave the aircraft and is held towards the outer side by stops and is locked exclusively on a hinge side opposite the stops. Also, an aircraft region and an aircraft with such an aircraft door.

The hinge device performs the opening and closing of a door of a vehicle without the door changing orientation. The device has an L-shaped arm provided with two ends attached in a pivotable way, around parallel rotation axes, to respective mounting bodies, one being fixable to the door and the other to the frame of the vehicle. Each body has a concentric pulley body with the respective rotation axis and fixed to a respective mounting body. The device further has a linking mechanism that extends along the arm and has a path formed by a first segment and a second segment that cross at least once.
