Self-closing safety gate embodiments are disclosed herein. The self-closing safety gates include a hinge plate configured to rotate about a vertical support member and engage a hoop portion. In some embodiments, the hinge plate includes at least one support arm portion with a channel. In such embodiments, the channel can be configured to receive and frictionally engage a hoop arm of the hoop portion with a compressive fastener. In some embodiments, the self-closing safety gate can be damped.

A hood assembly for a motor vehicle includes a hood, a hinge with a first arm, and a pin fixed to the first arm in a projecting manner along a mounting axis and a second arm of the hood hinged to the first arm around a hinge axis, a structural member fixed to the pin and provided with a hole axially receiving the pin along the mounting axis, wherein the hinge axis and the mounting axis lie respectively on a first plane and on a second plane parallel to one another, and wherein a projection of the hinge axis onto the second plane is orthogonal to the mounting axis .

An aircraft door, an aircraft region and an aircraft with an aircraft door. The aircraft door through which passengers enter and leave the aircraft and is held towards the outer side by stops and is locked exclusively on a hinge side opposite the stops. Also, an aircraft region and an aircraft with such an aircraft door.

A hinge assembly for securing a door on a gaming machine cabinet includes a first flange coupled to the door, a second flange coupled to the cabinet, a first link pair coupled to and extending from the first flange at a first pivot joint, a second link pair coupled to and extending from the first flange at a second pivot joint, a third link pair coupled to the first link pair at a third pivot joint, wherein the third link pair is further coupled to the second flange at a fourth pivot joint, and wherein the third link pair is further coupled to the second link pair at a fifth pivot joint, and a fourth link pair coupled to the second flange at a sixth pivot joint, wherein the fourth link pair is further coupled to the second link pair at a seventh pivot joint.

An articulated attachment assembly and a rail system and method of installation for rail installations in which there is an elevational change between vertical supports, in which the articulated attachment assembly eliminates the need for field mitering of components and provides instead a first articulated hinge assembly having a first mounting block to be attached to the first support, a second mounting block to be attached to the first rail connection block, and a hinge member to couple the second mounting block to the first mounting block and enable the second mounting block, the first rail connection block, and the rail to pivot together relative to the first mounting block and the first support.

The present disclosure provides an aircraft door system including an aircraft door configured to translate from a closed position to an open position. The aircraft door system further includes a plurality of door pressure stops positioned along a length of the aircraft door and a handle coupled to the aircraft door. A rotation of the handle causes a first translation of the aircraft door in an inward direction and a forward direction. The aircraft door system further includes a hinge system coupled to the aircraft door. An outward force applied to the aircraft door causes a second translation of the aircraft door in an outward direction and a forward direction. The hinge system causes the aircraft door to translate such that the aircraft door remains parallel to the aircraft fuselage throughout an entirety of the second translation until the aircraft door reaches the open position.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative hinges, door assemblies, storage bins, and vehicles. In an illustrative embodiment a hinge includes a hinge bracket, a hinge pin, a hinge arm, and a detent assembly. The hinge arm is rotatably connected to the hinge bracket via the hinge pin. The detent assembly is adapted to define a detent position of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket that is between an open position and a closed position of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket. The detent assembly includes a detent plate and a plunger assembly. The detent plate includes a recess formed therein. The plunger assembly includes an end that is biased at least partially into the recess while circumferentially aligned therewith to define the detent position.

A hinge includes: a vehicle body-side hinge member that includes a vehicle body attachment portion for attachment to a vehicle body; a back door-side hinge member that includes a door attachment portion for attachment to a back door and a coupling portion extending from the door attachment portion toward the vehicle body-side hinge member, the coupling portion including a reinforcing rib on both edges in a width direction intersecting an extension direction of the coupling portion; and a rotational support member that couples an end portion, at a side of the vehicle body-side hinge member, of the coupling portion together with the vehicle body-side hinge member, and that supports the vehicle body-side hinge member and the back door-side hinge member so as to allow relative rotation of the vehicle body-side hinge member and the back door-side hinge member.

A single-axis hinge includes a base, a movable plate, a limiting block, a rotating shaft and a stand set. The base includes a first shaft mounting hole, a stand drive shaft mounting hole and a path. The movable plate is formed with a second shaft mounting hole and a limiting notch. The limiting block is installed in the path. The rotating shaft passes through the first and second shaft mounting holes and includes a driving block and a first cam. An edge of the driving block is formed with a transmission teeth portion not completely surround the edge. The stand set includes a stand drive shaft disposed in the stand drive shaft mounting hole, and a support stand driven by the stand drive shaft. The stand drive shaft includes a gear and a second cam formed with a positioning notch.
