A link mechanism for a vehicle door is provided. The link mechanism includes a body having a first end portion facing a vehicle body and a second end portion facing a vehicle door and a first mounting member that is mounted on the vehicle body, and rotatably connected to the first end portion of the body through a first shaft. A second mounting member is mounted on the vehicle door, and is rotatably connected to the second end portion of the body through a second shaft. A rotation restricting unit selectively restricts a rotation of the second mounting member.

The present invention is a novel hinge design that allows unique operation of the lid for a container, box, storage chest, ice chest or similar item. In addition to the lid being able to flip up on two hinges as is traditional, the present invention allows the lid to swivel to one side or the other, while remaining in the horizontal plane. This is accomplished, in the exemplary embodiment, by means of two inventive ball-and-socket hinges each of which can have its ball disengaged from its socket. If one ball-and-socket hinge is thus disengaged, the lid is then free to rotate horizontally around the other ball-and-socket hinge, thereby swiveling the lid to one side and effectively opening the box or container. The lid, when opened in this fashion, is amply supported by the end of the box over which it sits, and can act as a table or flat surface for organizing items as they are transferred to or from the box or container. The horizontal lid can swivel in either direction, providing broad access to either end of the container. If broader access is desired, the lid can also be completely removed by simultaneously disengaging both hinges.

This is a door system that allows for a pair of doors on a trailer or utility vehicle to be hingedly opened on a vertical axis or on a horizontal axis. Additionally, the door system described herein allows for each door to operate independently of one another or to operate in unison with each other. This is useful for individuals that use trailers frequently, because it allows for the use of one trailer providing two doors uniquely capable of opening as barn-doors, as a ramp, or as both a door and a ramp.

A door for a home appliance includes four hinges which may be interchanged regarding a location on the door, and a series of interconnected arms that allow a pivot axis of the door to be changed from a first direction to a second direction by manipulation of a handle on the door.
