An assistance apparatus for opening and closing a scissor door for a vehicle includes: a door hinge having one side installed at a vehicle body to be rotated vertically through a hinge shaft, and having a door mounted at an opposite side thereof; a gas lifter having a first side installed at the vehicle body, and having a second side installed at the door hinge to assist a rotational force of the door hinge or keep a posture thereof through compression and elongation; and an opening and closing assistance unit for providing the rotational force to the door hinge in interlocking with the pressing operation of a vehicle passenger.

A multi-axis hinge mechanism for a vehicle door. The multi-axis hinge mechanism moves the vehicle door laterally and vertically by means of multiple axial rotations. An actuator pivots the door hinges attaching the door to the vehicle to move the door away from the vehicle while a set of gears translates the motion of the actuator into a vertical rotation of the door.

A folding corral system is operable to define an enclosed space and to selectively adjust the size of the enclosed space. The folding corral system broadly includes a corral structure, a swingable corral panel, and a powered drive system. The corral structure is operable to be installed adjacent the enclosed space. The corral panel is pivotally supported relative to the corral structure to swing about an upright pivot axis. The corral panel is swingable relative to the corral structure into and out of a deployed condition where the swingable corral panel at least partly defines the enclosed space. The powered drive system is drivingly attached relative to the swingable corral panel. The powered drive system is operable to drive the swingable corral panel into and out of the deployed condition.

A hinged mechanism includes: panels; and hinges connecting respective pairs of the panels to each other in a closed loop so that the hinged mechanism is non-planar, wherein at least one of the hinges is a rolling-contact hinge. All of the hinges can be rolling-contact hinges. The closed-loop hinged mechanism can comprise at least four hinges, each of the at least four hinges being a sole connection between a respective adjacent pair of the panels. A cross section of rolling surfaces of the rolling-contact hinge can be circular. A cross section of rolling surfaces of the rolling-contact hinge can be non-circular.

A mechanism for mounting of a hinged car door, comprising a stabilizing frame (1) attached to a vehicle frame (15). The stabilizing frame (1) is equipped, in its lower part, with a lock (6) for stabilizing a bracket (3) of a door (14) and, in its upper part, the stabilizing frame (1) is equipped with a toothed pinion (5) and at least one guiding roller (4), whereas a toothed arm (2) is arranged between the toothed pinion (5) and the guiding roller (4), and the bracket (3) of the door (14) is swing attached to the toothed arm (2), whereas the door (14) is attached to the bracket (3) of the door (14) by means of pins (13) of the door (14).

A furniture hinge includes a body-side main element and a hinge cup, which is pivotally guided relative to the base element and which can be secured to a movable furniture part. The main element and the hinge cup are connected together via a lever mechanism. The furniture hinge is configured so that the lever mechanism has at least two levers, each of which is mounted on the hinge cup in a pivotal manner about a pivot axis that is aligned perpendicularly to the pivot axis of the hinge cup and each of which is provided with a toothing that meshes with another toothing arranged in the hinge cup.
