The present disclosure provides a hinge assembly including a first hinge body, a second hinge body, a movable block, a pushing block, a cushion block, and a pivot. The pivot is fixedly mounted to the first hinge body and is provided with a planar recess on a shaft body surface thereof. The movable block and the second hinge body are detachably connected to each other. The movable block is pivotally connected with the first hinge body via the pivot. A top surface of the movable block abuts against the first hinge body. The pushing block includes a first inclined surface. The cushion block includes a second inclined surface. A top surface of the pushing block abuts against the movable block. The pushing block slidably abuts against the shaft body of the pivot. The hinge assembly according to the present disclosure realizes seamless lifting of the hinge.

A refrigerator includes an insulated cabinet having an opening and a first hinge structure. The refrigerator includes a door including a second hinge structure that is movably connected to the first hinge structure. A height adjustment lever operably interconnects the first and second hinge structures. Movement of the lever in a first direction causes the door to move upwardly, and movement of the lever in a second direction causes the door to move downwardly. A stop limits movement of the height adjustment lever in at least one of the first and second directions. The lever is preferably movable by hand, such that tools are not required to adjust the door height/position.

A display case door assembly for a temperature-controlled storage device includes an opening into the temperature-controlled storage device and a vacuum panel mounted within the opening. The vacuum panel includes a first vacuum pane of tempered glass, a second vacuum pane of tempered glass, and an evacuated gap between the first and second vacuum panes. The evacuated gap has a predetermined thickness within which a vacuum is drawn, thereby providing a thermal insulation effect for the vacuum panel. The vacuum panel further includes a plurality of spacers disposed within the evacuated gap and configured to maintain the predetermined thickness of the evacuated gap when the vacuum is drawn therein.

A gate is mounted on a hinge to pivot about a pivot axis between opened and closed positions. A latch is mounted for movement relative to the gate to retain the gate in a closed and locked position

A display case door assembly for a temperature-controlled storage device includes a frame defining an opening into the temperature-controlled storage device and a transparent unit coupled to the frame. The transparent unit includes a first vacuum pane, a second vacuum pane, and an evacuated gap between the first and second vacuum panes. The evacuated gap has a predetermined thickness within which a vacuum is drawn, thereby providing a thermal insulation effect for the transparent unit. The transparent unit further includes a plurality of spacers disposed within the evacuated gap and configured to maintain the predetermined thickness of the evacuated gap when the vacuum is drawn therein.

A shower door hinge assembly includes a clamp, a member, a base, a spacer, and a pin. The clamp is configured to receive a portion of a shower door. The member is coupled to the clamp, and comprises a circumferential slot. The base is configured to be coupled to a fixed structure, and defines a hole. The spacer is coupled to the base. The member is rotatably coupled to the spacer. The pin includes a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to be received in the hole of the base, and the second end is configured to be received in the circumferential slot. The pin and the circumferential slot are cooperatively configured to define an end point of rotation for the shower door.

A shower door hinge assembly includes a guide member including a generally cylindrical body, the body defining a plurality of diametrically opposed circumferential slots. The shower door hinge assembly further includes a clamp configured to receive a portion of a shower door, the clamp defining a recess configured to receive a first side of the guide member. The shower door hinge assembly further includes a base defining a plurality of openings and a spacer comprising a generally cylindrical body defining a plurality of through holes at an outer periphery thereof, a first side of the spacer configured to be rotatively received in a corresponding recess in a second side of the guide member. The shower door hinge assembly further includes a plurality of pins configured to be received in the plurality of openings of the base, extend through the plurality of through holes of the spacer, and engage a portion of the plurality of circumferential slots.

A camming member for a door may have a camming surface which lifts the door as the door is traversed from an opened position to a closed position. The lifting movement of the door caused by the camming member facilitates one or more latches used to reinforce a periphery of the door to be engaged without further user intervention.
