A side-open left-right-door arbitrary-opening structure of a refrigerator comprises four hinge shafts are fixedly connected at left and right sides of a refrigerator body in pairs respectively, left and right sides of upper and lower end faces of a refrigerator door are all provided with an opening neck, each hinge shaft is correspondingly placed in one opening neck, four hinge shaft stoppers are slidably arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door in pairs respectively, one spring is arranged between two hinge shaft stoppers in each pair, tail ends of the hinge shaft stoppers on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door extend into the opening necks at the corresponding sides, and the hinge shafts at the corresponding sides are positioned in the opening necks.

The invention relates to a disassemblable hinge (1) having a latching member (2), adapted to be associated with an openable door (20), and a hinge member (3), adapted to be associated with a corresponding door frame (21). The latching member (2) comprises a main body (4) and a catch (5), wherein said main body (4) comprises a hinge slot (6) adapted to receive said hinge member (3), wherein said catch (5) is rotatably engageable with said hinge member (3) around a first axis (A1). The catch (5) is movable between a closed state and an open state, and into a disengaged state. The catch (5) and said hinge slot (6) defines a space (14) for housing said hinge member, wherein said catch (5), in its closed state, locks said hinge member (3) in said space (14). The space (14) is expanded when said catch (5) is moved from said closed state to said disengaged state. The catch (5) is moved from said disengaged state to said open state by rotating said catch (5) around a second axis (A2), thereby releasing said hinge member (3) from said space (14). Thereby a disassemblable hinge is provided enabling a secure opening operation in a two step maneuver.

A hinge assembly having at least two hinge locks for locking a door leaf relative to a door frame and for tilting the door leaf relative to the door frame, wherein an actuation device for common actuation of the hinge locks is provided. The disclosure also relates to a door comprising a hinge assembly and to a method for mounting a hinge assembly.

A mechanism for opening a door of a refrigerator from either the left side or the right side of the door includes a pair of first modules arranged symmetrically about the center line of the door on the left side and the right side of the door, and a pair of second modules arranged symmetrically about the center line of a refrigerator body on the left side and the right side of the refrigerator body. Each first module comprises an opening and a gear which is rotatably mounted on the door. Each second module comprises a rack configured to be engaged with one of the gears, a hinge, a rotating shaft and a guiding slider for guiding a rotation of one of the gears.

A junction box assembly including a box and a selectively displaceable lid, the lid including one or more articulating lock sockets and one or more lock hinge sockets. Hinge arms can be pivotally coupled to the box, with a first hinge arm also being pivotally secured to an articulating hinge socket to accommodate pivotal displacement of the lid from the box, as well as pivotal displacement of the lid about a portion of the first hinge arm. A second hinge arm can be selectively removable from secure engagement with the lock hinge assembly. Further, a tamper resistant pin can extend through the upper head portion of the second hinge arm when the second hinge arm is engaged with the lock hinge socket so as to lock the second hinge arm to the lid, and thereby secure the lid at a closed position on the box.

Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment, a first door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the first door being configured to open or close one side of the storage compartment, a second door pivotably installed to the cabinet, the second door being configured to open or close a remaining side of the storage compartment, the second door having a pillar configured to be rotated so as to come into contact with the first door, a first link device provided outside of the storage compartment, the first link device being operated in contact with the first door and the second door at a top of the cabinet, and a second link device configured to be operated by the first link device, the second link device serving to rotate the pillar.

A hinge lock for locking a door leaf with respect to a door frame and for pivoting the door leaf with respect to the door frame. The hinge lock has a first hinge element for arranging on the door leaf and a second hinge element for arranging on the door frame. The first hinge element and the second hinge element can be locked with respect to one another by means of a bolt which can be moved back and forth in a locking direction between an unlocking position and a locking position and the locking position by means of a drive rod which can be moved transversely to the locking direction. The disclosure further relates to a door having a hinge lock.

The invention relates to a hinge lock consisting of a first hinge part (1) for fastening to the outside of a door and a second hinge part (2) for fastening on the outside of a door frame, wherein the first hinge part (1) has an actuating device, by means of which the first (1) and the second hinge part (2) can be unlocked and locked with one another. The actuating device interacts with a shaft (16), which is suitable for passing through the door. An inner handle (23) is arranged at the end of the shaft (16) facing away from the actuating device, by means of which the first (1) and the second hinge part (2) can be unlocked and locked with one another. The shaft (16) is surrounded by at least one pipe part (18, 18′).

A side-open left-right-door arbitrary-opening structure of a refrigerator comprises four hinge shafts are fixedly connected at left and right sides of a refrigerator body in pairs respectively, left and right sides of upper and lower end faces of a refrigerator door are all provided with an opening neck, each hinge shaft is correspondingly placed in one opening neck, four hinge shaft stoppers are slidably arranged on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door in pairs respectively, one spring is arranged between two hinge shaft stoppers in each pair, tail ends of the hinge shaft stoppers on the upper and lower end faces of the refrigerator door extend into the opening necks at the corresponding sides, and the hinge shafts at the corresponding sides are positioned in the opening necks.

An enclosure has a door that can be opened from one of two sides by the operation of one of two handles that extend along opposing vertical sides of the door. Each handle can move corresponding upper and lower latch bars that allow that same side of the door to be selectively released from one set of hinge pins that are affixed to the enclosure and allow the door to pivot about another set of hinge pins on the opposite side. Guide pins on the hinge side engage arcuate guide channels as the door pivots, preventing the door from being detached once pivoted about one of the axes. When the latch bars are moved to the release position on one side, the latch bars on the opposite side are prevented from being moved to the release position at the same time.
