A door assembly includes an inner door panel and an outer door panel pivotable with respect to the inner door panel, the inner door panel including a latch base. The outer door panel includes a handle assembly including a handle endcap, a handle body rotatable with respect to the handle endcap, and a latch bar connected with the handle body, the latch bar being detachably coupled to the latch base. The outer door panel is rotatable with respect to the inner door panel, such that the outer door panel can be rotated away from the inner door panel.

A latch assembly for an appliance includes a cabinet having a front panel with a latch opening. A latch member is aligned with the latch opening of the front panel and is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. A door is hingedly coupled to the cabinet between open and closed positions and has a latch receiving aperture. A cover plate is configured to selectively cover the latch opening. The cover plate is rotatably coupled with the cabinet between first and second positions.

Proposed is a door hinge for an oven. More particularly, proposed is a door hinge for an oven, which when a door is opened, can prevent the door from being excessively opened and can prevent the door from being further opened at the maximum opening angle.

Proposed is a hinge device having tension maintaining function, the hinge device including: a winding member affixed to a main body of a mounted structure having an inner space formed therein; a hinge member affixed to a door that opens or closes the inner space and mounted on the winding member so as to enable the door to be pivotable; and a tension member having one end affixed to the winding member and the other end affixed to the hinge member, such that the tension member transmits a tension to the door when opening and closing the door.

The invention relates to a hinge for a household appliance, including a hinge housing, including a pivot arm, which is pivotably retained at the hinge housing, and including a drive device, which comprises an electric motor, by means of which the pivot arm is pivotable relative to the hinge housing, wherein the drive device includes: a drive housing formed separately from the hinge housing, provided in addition thereto and at least partially following the hinge housing in longitudinal extension direction of the hinge housing; a threaded spindle at least partially received in the hinge housing; and at least one screw element screwed to the threaded spindle.

A latch module incorporated with an automatic opening function and a secure lock function includes a latch, a spring that applies a force to move the latch in a first direction, a drive to move the latch in a second direction, a cam that transmits power of the drive to the latch, and first and second switches that are turned on and off by the cam. The first and second switches are in a first mode in which the two switches are turned on and the latch is disposed at a manual lock position, a second mode in which the first switch is turned on and the second switch is turned off and the latch is disposed at an opening position, a third mode in which the first switch is turned off and the second switch is turned on and the latch is in a secure lock position.

According to an implementation of the present disclosure, a home appliance includes a cabinet defining a reception space therein, a front plate disposed at a front part of the reception space and having an opening part, a door configured to open and close the opening part, the door having a viewing window provided at the door, a sensor assembly configured to detect a vibration and output a corresponding vibration signal, a lamp configured to illuminate an inside of the reception space, and a controller configured to operate the lamp based on the vibration signal output by the sensor assembly.

Proposed is a door hinge. More particularly, there is provided a door hinge which is conveniently assembled, has a minimized shape, and above all, enables a closing force to be applied to a door so that when the door is opened, high-temperature heat is inhibited from being released from inside an apparatus on which the door hinge is installed.

A hinge (1) for connecting a door to a household appliance compartment is described, comprising a fastening bracket (2) adapted to be fastened to the compartment of said household appliance, a movable support (3) to rotatably constrain said door to said fastening bracket (2), an activating arm (5) coupled to said fastening bracket (2), movement means (6) adapted to move said activating arm (5), said activating arm (5) comprising a first end portion (5a) adapted to be constrained to said door, and a second end portion (5b) fitted to be coupled to said movement means (6) to move said activating arm (5) between an open position (P2) of the door and a closed position (P1) of the door, said movement means (6) comprising an electric motor (10) and reversible connecting means (9) to couple and decouple selectively said electric motor (10) and said second end portion (5b), said hinge (1) being configured so that when said electric motor (10) is coupled to said second end portion (5b), the electric motor (10) causes the movement of the activating arm (5), whereas when said electric motor (10) is decoupled from said second end portion (5b), the movement of the first end portion (5a) occurs independently of the electric motor (10) to allow a user to freely move the door.

A cooking appliance includes a body and a door assembly coupled to the body. The door assembly includes a frame and a door, which is operable between an opened position and a closed position. A first adjustment assembly is coupled to a first side of the door. A second adjustment assembly is coupled to a second side of the door. Each of the first and second adjustment assemblies includes a support structure coupled to the frame and which defines a slot. A link arm is coupled to an interior surface of the door and includes a projection that extends through the slot. A motor is operably coupled to the door. A controller is configured to activate at least one of the first and second adjustment assemblies to guide the door between the opened position and the closed position.
