A cable manager includes a backbone assembly and at least one side wall extending from the backbone assembly. The at least one side wall optionally includes one or more cable finger units. The backbone assembly includes a spine member having an extruded construction. The spine member includes one or more channels extending substantially an entire length thereof to facilitate easy attachment, removal and/or repositioning of a structure relative to the spine member. The cable manager optionally includes an accessory rod, a half-spool assembly, a cable finger accessory, a strap/buckle accessory, and/or a door assembly having an interference-free hinge set.

Hinges are disclosed including: a first hinge portion; a second hinge portion; a biasing means; and at least one hydraulic damper; the first and second hinge portions are connected together and are arranged to pivot with respect to one another about a hinge axis between an open condition and a closed condition; the biasing means is arranged to bias the hinge towards the closed condition; the at least one hydraulic damper is compressed from an extended condition to a retracted condition as the hinge moves from the open condition to the closed condition; at least one of the hinge portions is arranged to attach to a gate; and wherein the at least one damper is located outside of the gate and inside one of the hinge portions.

A hinge device includes a shaft that is rotatable around the axis, and a torque imparting portion configured to impart a rotational torque to rotation of the shaft. The torque imparting portion includes: a ring having a shaft insertion hole through which the shaft is inserted with rattling, the ring covering a part of an outer circumferential face of the shaft in the axis direction; an elastic member that biases the ring in the axis direction from a position displaced from the axis of the shaft; and an adjuster configured to adjust a force that the elastic member biases the ring.

The invention relates to a hinge (10) comprising a swivellable hinge part (12), a stationary hinge part (14) and a tensionable spring element (34), wherein the stationary hinge part (14) is designed with a first bearing (16) as well as a second bearing (18), wherein the bearings (16, 18) have swivel axes (S1, S2) that are offset to one another. According to the invention, the swivellable hinge part (12) is mounted on the stationary hinge part (14) via the first bearing (16) such that it can swivel about a swivel axis (S1), and the tensionable spring element (34) is arranged on the stationary hinge part (14) via the second bearing (18).

The present invention relates to a drive device, comprising a cable which is connected at one end to a cable pulley, an actuator for driving the cable pulley, and a torsion bar which generates a torsional moment, wherein the torsion bar is supported on a higher-level assembly in such a way that it can move between a first and a second state of the torsion bar, wherein the torsion bar applies a torque in a first direction over a first partial movement range, applies a torque in a second direction opposite to the first direction over a second partial movement range, and does not apply torque over a third partial movement range. The present invention also relates to a superordinate hatch arrangement.

A recording apparatus includes a rotating body that opens and closes an apparatus main body which is provided with a recording portion that performs recording on a medium and rotates between a first posture that is a closed posture and a second posture that is an open posture, a biasing unit that biases the rotating body in an opening direction, and a biasing release unit that releases an action of a biasing force applied by the biasing unit to the rotating body in a range from a third posture, which is a posture between the first posture and the second posture, to the second posture.

A method of installing a cable finger accessory in a cable manager includes: positioning a first semi-arcuate clamp section against a section of an extruded support member of the cable manager; positioning a second semi-arcuate clamp section, which is hingedly connected to the first semi-arcuate clamp section, against an opposite side of the section of the extruded support member such that, together, the first and second semi-arcuate generally surround the section of the extruded support member; and fastening a clamp mechanism connected to a distal end of the first semi-arcuate clamp section and adapted to secure the distal end of the first semi-arcuate clamp section against a distal end of the second semi-arcuate clamp section such that the first and second semi-arcuate clamp sections are secured against the section of the extruded support member. The cable finger extends outwardly from at least one of the first and second semi-arcuate clamp sections.

A pivot hinge bracket assembly for use with a pivot hinge for a reach-in type cool room refrigerator includes two mirror imaged main bracket portions and a pivot plate removably coupled to one of the main bracket portions. The main bracket portion includes an edge mounting flange extending to a rear mounting flange mounted to the cool room refrigerator door jamb. The edge mounting flange has a modified square mounting hole and pivot pin plate screw mounting holes. The rear mounting flange has two door screw mounting holes. The pivot plate includes a pivot plate mounting flange and a pivot pin. The pivot hinge bracket assembly also includes an optional removably coupled door stop.
