A joining structure of a door panel for a lavatory of an aircraft lavatory unit is provided. A plurality of pairs of end surfaces of a structural frame side hinge portion end surface and a door panel side hinge portion end surface facing each other in the vertical direction are alternately provided at intervals in the vertical direction. Bearing members each formed in a cylindrical shape and including a shaft insertion hole are disposed between at least two pairs of end surfaces adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, of the plurality of pairs of end surfaces. Both surfaces of the bearing member are in contact with each of the two pairs of end surfaces.

A hinge assembly 8a for an aircraft component comprises first and second hinge plates 9, 10, each hinge plate including a plurality of fingers 13 to 17. The fingers of the first and second hinge plates are interleaved. A seal assembly 28 to 32 is provided between at least some of the fingers. The provision of a hinge including interposed fingers allows for a hinge assembly having a complex aerodynamic profile to be made, while the sealing function is performed by the seals filling the gaps between the fingers.

This disclosure relates to an adjustable hinge assembly for an automobile tailgate. The hinge assembly includes a first mounting plate configured for mounting to an automobile body, a first hinge member attached to the first mounting plate, a second mounting plate configured for mounting to a tailgate, and a second hinge member attached to the second mounting plate. The first and second hinge members are hingedly connected. Adjustment screws are positioned on the hinge assembly to adjust the position of the first hinge member on the first mounting plate in the x and y-directions. An adjustment screw is positioned on the hinge assembly to adjust the position of the second hinge member on the second mounting plate in the z-direction. This is accomplished with minimal effort and tooling.

A hinge assembly for a work vehicle door includes a hinge having a body and a first protrusion. The first protrusion is configured to extend through a first opening in a panel of the work vehicle door, and the first protrusion has a first engagement feature. The hinge assembly also includes a handle having a first corresponding engagement feature configured to engaged the first engagement feature of the first protrusion while the handle is in an engaged position to couple the panel to the hinge. One of the hinge or the handle has a second protrusion, and the other of the hinge or the handle has a recess configured to receive the second protrusion. The second protrusion is configured to extend through a second opening in the panel of the work vehicle door, and the handle is configured to rotate about the second protrusion to the engaged position.

Both surfaces of the bearing member are in contact with each of the two pairs of end surfaces.

Various vehicle hinge improvements are enabled herein. For instance, a hinge assembly comprises a body-side base plate. The body-side base plate comprises a body-side adjustment block extending perpendicularly away from a flat surface portion of the body-side base plate, a first body-side threaded hole received in the body-side adjustment block, and a second body-side threaded hole received in the body-side adjustment block. A first body-side adjustment bolt is received through a first body-side adjustment channel and threaded into the first body-side threaded hole, wherein rotation of the first body-side adjustment bolt facilitates adjustment of a body-side hinge member in a first direction. A second body-side adjustment bolt is received through the second body-side adjustment channel and threaded into the second body-side threaded hole, wherein rotation of the second body-side adjustment bolt facilitates adjustment of the body-side hinge member in a second direction.

The disclosure provides a bonnet hinge structure. The bonnet hinge structure pivotally supports the bonnet to the vehicle body from the rear end of the bonnet, and includes: a lower hinge member fixed to the vehicle body; an upper hinge member fixed to the bonnet fixing portion of the bonnet, and pivotally connected to the lower hinge member in a manner of being able to rotate to a first height relative to the lower hinge member in the up-down direction of the vehicle body; and a rotation suppressing portion provided with a deviation restricting member. When the upper hinge member is deformed in the left-right direction of the vehicle body, the deviation restricting member comes into contact with the upper hinge member at a position of the second height lower than the first height from the top of the upper hinge member, and prevents the upper hinge member from rotating.
