A cabinet assembly includes a base and walls secured to the base to define an interior. The cabinet assembly further includes a pivot pin coupled to the base and a locking device coupled to the base. The locking device is movable relative to the base between an engaged position and a released position. The cabinet assembly additionally includes a support foot. The support foot is fixed to the base in a first orientation when the locking device is in the engaged position. The support foot is movable about the pivot pin to a second orientation spaced from the locking device when the locking device is in the released position.

A stand and method for elevating and leveling an appliance above the ground surface with an adjustable stand having a first surface for supporting the appliance in an upright and vertical manner and a second surface for engaging with the ground, where the space between these surface is adjustable at one or more points by independently rotating a plurality of the second surfaces in order to selectively vertically displace the first surface with respect to the ground.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit having a unit carcass and a unit door that is pivotable about an axis, preferably about a vertical axis, and that closes the cooled inner space at the front side, wherein removable protection against tilting is attached to the unit body and at least extends the tilt point of the unit body to the front and/or to the side beyond the normal footprint of the body.

A hydraulic buffering leg cushion is mounted to a supporting platform. The hydraulic buffering leg cushion includes a leg cushion body, a movable unit, and a fixed connecting member. The leg cushion body is provided with a leg cushion accommodating space, and includes an upper cover, and a lower cover. The movable unit is received in the leg cushion accommodating space, and includes a piston, a membrane assembly, a rubber bowl, and a movable portion. The rubber bowl is clamped, at its outer circumference, by and between the upper cover and the lower cover, so as to partition a damping accommodating space for receiving damping oil. The movable portion and the rubber bowl are pressed, in sequence, onto the piston. The piston is provided with a damping channel, and is connected with the lower cover through a restoring spring. The membrane assembly is disposed underneath the piston, and forms, with the piston, a one-way valve structure. The restoring spring passes through the membrane assembly. The fixed connecting member is fixedly arranged on the movable portion of the movable unit. As such, by using the supporting force of the restoring spring and the damping oil in the damping accommodating space for providing with buffering hydraulic pressure, a balance for the supporting platform can be adjusted automatically to a balance within an effective range for the supporting platform, without the need of a manual adjustment for a balance. This will ensure stability of the supporting platform without shaking easily.

Provided is a leveling mechanism for a weighing device that facilitates horizontal leveling of the weighing device. The leveling mechanism (2) includes a foot piece (10) having a foot portion (11) that in contact with an installation surface and a foot piece shaft (12) that extends upward from the foot portion and has a male screw (14) on its outer periphery, a rotatable body (20) having on its inner periphery a female screw, a housing (30) for accommodating the rotatable body engaged with the foot piece, a fixing portion (S2, 36) for fixing the housing to a device case (3), and a housing space (6) covering the housing, provided in the device case. The leveling mechanism converts a rotational motion of the rotatable body to a vertical motion of the foot piece.

A foot for a cabinet comprises a body having a longitudinal axis, an upper end and a lower end, a leveler adjustably connected to the lower end of the body and mounting locations. The leveler is adjustable to vary a longitudinal dimension of the foot. The mounting locations are on the body and ferromagnetically couple one or more foundation members in place adjacent the foot. A foot system and other components are also described.

A dishwasher is disclosed, which comprises a cabinet; a base forming a lower portion of the cabinet; and a support coupled to a coupling portion provided in the base, supporting the cabinet, wherein the coupling portion includes a hollow shaped coupling hole; and a plurality of first threads formed in the coupling hole, and the support includes a plurality of second threads engaged with the first threads; and a stopper formed to be protruded at a groove of the second thread.

The membrane assembly is disposed underneath the piston, and forms, with the piston, a one-way valve structure. The restoring spring passes through the membrane assembly. The fixed connecting member is fixedly arranged on the movable portion of the movable unit. As such, by using the supporting force of the restoring spring and the damping oil in the damping accommodating space for providing with buffering hydraulic pressure, a balance for the supporting platform can be adjusted automatically to a balance within an effective range for the supporting platform, without the need of a manual adjustment for a balance. This will ensure stability of the supporting platform without shaking easily.

Provided herein is a household appliance with at least one pedestal comprising a threaded rod which can be screwed into a corresponding threaded hole in a base of the household appliance in a longitudinal direction in order to reach a desired effective height of the pedestal. A snap nut made of a resilient material is provided having a threaded bore with a diameter and a thread fitting to the threaded rod so that the snap nut can be screwed along the longitudinal extension of the threaded rod, the snap nut further comprising a slot having a width that is less than the diameter of the bore and which defines a lateral opening of the bore wherein the width of the slot and the resiliency of the material allows the snap nut to be snapped from the side onto the threaded rod.

The invention includes a levelling device, which includes a top part and a lower part where there in the top part includes a spindle, which includes a thread and an external cylindrical surface and a sleeve with at least one internal stop surface, and that the spindle includes at least two separate spindle items and at least one stop surface. With the invention, it is achieved that it is possible to manufacture a levelling device, where the sleeve, as a result of the stop surface on the sleeve and the stop surface on the several part spindle cannot be screwed so high up that parts of the thread on the spindle are exposed.
