A hinge assembly for use on a grill that permits the selective removal of the lid from the bowl, the hinge assembly including a stationary bowl bracket affixed to the bowl, a pivotable middle bracket pivotably mounted to the bowl bracket and a removable lid bracket affixed to the lid and removably secured to the middle bracket.

A vehicle is disclosed that includes: a vehicle body having an outer body panel; a tailgate that is movable in relation to the vehicle body via a tailgate actuation system between a closed position and an open position; and a bracket that is configured to receive the tailgate actuation system. The bracket includes a main body portion and an appendage that extends transversely from the main body portion such that the appendage engages the vehicle body to inhibit rotational deflection of the tailgate actuation system and, thus, lateral flexure of the outer body panel during movement of the tailgate.

A furniture hinge includes a first hinge portion to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a second hinge portion having a hinge cup to be fixed to a movably-mounted furniture part, a hinge axis connecting the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion, a bearing portion inserted into the hinge cup, the bearing portion including a cavity, and a spring device configured to move the furniture hinge from a predetermined angular position into a fully closed position and/or into a fully open position. A first end region of the spring device is supported on the bearing portion when the bearing portion is inserted into the hinge cup, the cavity being configured to accommodate the spring device. A convex control curve configured to interact from the predetermined angular position towards the fully closed position with the spring device. A pressure portion has a counter contour configured to be pressed against the convex control curve by the spring device. The counter contour has a concave section complementary to the convex control curve.

An actuating drive for driving a movably mounted furniture part includes an actuating arm connected to the furniture part. The actuating arm is configured to be movable between a first end position and a second end position, and a damper is provided for damping a movement of the actuating arm into the first end position and a movement of the actuating arm into the second end position. The damper performs a damping stroke during the damping, and a coupling mechanism is provided for coupling the actuating arm or an actuating part connectable thereto to the damper when the actuating arm is moved into the two end positions. The coupling mechanism has an actuator for performing the damping stroke of the damper, and the actuator acts on the damper when the actuating arm is moved into the first end position and when the actuating arm is moved into the second end position.

A shower door and hinge assembly comprising a glass shower door, a sloping sill, a sill angle adapter, upper and lower horizontal door frame rails, and upper and lower shower door hinges where the lower hinge is a gravity style hinge featuring a self-closing action, is presented. The hinges of the present invention shower door and hinge assembly attach only to horizontal edge surfaces of the glass door. The hinges do not attach to any vertical surface of the door.

A power boost assembly is disclosed that can be used with a door actuator, such as a door closer. The power boost assembly is structured to store an energy during a first movement of a door and release the stored energy during a second movement of the door. In one form the power boost assembly can be structured as a module that can be added to an existing door and door closer installation. In one form the power boost assembly is used to increase a closing force imparted to a door to ensure a latching event.

A multi-joint link hinge may include hinge bracket provided with a base in which a plurality of screw coupling holes are defined, a plurality of side walls which protrude from the base and are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, a plurality of link modules which are vertically arranged between the side portions and axially coupled to the hinge bracket by a rotation shaft, and a door bracket which is axially coupled to each of the plurality of link modules.

The hinge (10) is intended for a roof window having a frame and a sash, and has a frame hinge part (100) and a sash hinge part (200) configured to assume an angle relative to the frame hinge part (100). Each hinge part (100, 200) has a base plate (110, 210) with a guide track (112, 212) and a link (120, 220), the links (120, 220) being connected to each other at a bearing axle (123). Each link (120, 220) has a first hinged joint (121, 221) to the respective base plate (110, 210) and a sliding joint (122, 222) slidably received in the guide track (212, 112) in the base plate (210, 110) of the other hinge part (200, 100). A pick-up element (130, 230) is connected to the base plate (110, 210) in a second hinged joint (131, 231) and is biased by a spring (140, 240) to act on the sliding joint (222, 122) in the guide track (112, 212), for instance within a predefined angle interval.

An article of furniture, comprising a furniture carcass, includes a two-part furniture flap having a first flap part, and a second flap part, and at least one support device for the two-part furniture flap. The at least one support device is connected to the furniture carcass and the two-part furniture flap in an articulated manner. The at least one support device has a transmission portion, which is on an inside of the first flap part and defines a setting angle of the second flap part to the first flap part according to a setting angle of the first flap part.
