A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be secured on a furniture carcass; a furniture hinge which has two fitting parts interconnected via at least one joint axle; and a locking device, by means of which one of the fitting parts of the furniture hinge can be locked, in particular releasably, to the mounting body. The fitting part of the furniture hinge that is to be locked on the mounting body has three plates arranged one above the other, a first of the three plates faces towards the mounting body in a locked position, a third of the three plates occupies an outer position, a second of the three plates occupies a central position between the first of the three plates and the third of the three plates, and at least three pin-like retaining parts are provided, which are mounted on the second of the three plates.

A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be fixed to a furniture carcass, a furniture hinge having two fitting portions connected to one another via at least one hinge axis, and a locking device for locking one of the fitting portions of the furniture hinge to the mounting body. The locking device includes at least one holding portion having an outer contour, and a locking contour corresponding thereto. The locking contour includes at least one stationary first member and at least one second member configured to be moved, preferably pivotally, relative to the first member. The at least one holding portion is received between the two members of the locking contour in a locked position.

A hinge assembly includes a mounting body to be secured on a furniture carcass, a furniture hinge which has two fitting parts interconnected via at least one joint axle, and a locking device, by which one of the fitting parts of the furniture hinge can be locked to the mounting body. The fitting part of the furniture hinge that is to be locked on the mounting body has three plates which are arranged one above the other and are interconnected at least by at least one common, pin-like retaining part.

A furniture fitting for mounting, preferably movably, a first furniture part onto a second furniture part, includes a metal piece made from sheet metal, more particularly a connecting piece, having two faces spaced apart from one another by a material thickness of the sheet metal. The two faces have a regular arrangement of successive elevations and depressions, and one elevation on one of the two faces lies opposite a depression on the other of the two faces, and vice versa.

The invention relates to a hinge for an item of furniture, comprising a first and a second hinge part (100, 200) that are pivotably interconnected by means of a hinged connection, the second hinge part (200) carrying or comprising a mounting element (300), the mounting element (300) comprising at least one guide assembly comprising at least one guide (405) that extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L) of the mounting element (300), the mounting element (300) being connected to a retaining part (400) when in the mounting position, and the guide assembly acting between the mounting element (300) and the retaining part (400), by means of which guide assembly the mounting element (300) can be moved into a mounting position in a manner guided in the guide direction. A significant improvement in the ease of mounting is achieved in a hinge of this kind if the guide assembly comprises a first centering guide (406), by means of which the mounting element (300) is aligned in a first mounting direction when adjusted in the guide direction (L).

Hinge members and foldable structures incorporating the same are described herein. A foldable structure includes a section, a brace, and a hinge member attaching to the section to enable the section to move between a folded position and an extended position. The hinge member includes a first bracket and a second bracket that are hingedly joined to each other. The first bracket includes a first flange that is integrally formed and extending from the first bracket. The first brace is attached, between the first flange of the first bracket and a surface of a different structure, to the first hinge member.

A double axial hinge for a console creates myriad combinations of folding, opening, closing, and extending of doors, panels, and windows of a console. The hinge provides a fixed central panel having a pair of edges. A first pivoting axis and a second pivoting axis in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship enable pivoting about the central panel up to 360 degrees from two directions. The ends of the hinge utilize a first L-shaped bracket and second L-shaped bracket that pivot independently of each other and have a broad L-shape that can be mounted on various mounting surfaces. The L-shaped brackets have a mounting panel that mounts to the console and a hinging panel that pivots about the respective pivoting axes. In an alternative embodiment of the hinge, at least one tab extends from the second pivoting axis restricts pivoting in a first direction about a central panel beyond 90 degrees.

A hinge used for furniture, including a movable cup seat, an adjustable cover plate, a hinging arm connected between the movable cup seat and the adjustable cover plate as well as torsion springs, wherein two torsion springs are respectively arranged on the notches on both sides of the movable cup seat; the torsion springs are provided with at least a first support leg linked to the protruded steps on both sides of the movable cup seat and a second support leg that extends into the movable cup seat capable of acting force on the hinging arm; the first support leg and/or the second support leg has a square-shaped section; the second support leg is provided with a torsion spring sleeve so that the second support leg is inserted into the corresponding sleeve holes.

A damping device includes a housing, a cover assembly, a piston rod, a piston and an elastic member. The housing has an inner wall defining a chamber, and an opening communicated with the chamber. The chamber is filled with a damping medium. The cover assembly is arranged adjacent to the opening of the housing. The piston rod penetrates through the cover assembly. The piston is connected to the piston rod and movable relative to the housing. The piston includes an extension part and an expansion part located between the piston rod and the extension part. A width of the expansion part is greater than a width of the piston rod. The elastic member is arranged in the chamber of the housing, and configured to provide an elastic force to the piston.

The invention relates to a hinge assembly for a switch cabinet, comprising a housing-side hinge half and a door-side hinge half, which are connected to one another such that they swivel in relation to one another, wherein the housing-side hinge half has a mounting flange for securing to a vertical profile of a switch cabinet housing, as well as two hinge bolts extending in a vertical direction, arranged at a distance to one another in the vertical direction and facing one another with the free ends thereof, wherein the hinge bolts are accommodated in a respective bolt seat of the housing-side hinge half, wherein the hinge bolts are accommodated in their respective bolt seat such that they cannot move at least in the vertical direction, and in that they protrude from the respective bolt seat via their free ends, wherein the door-side hinge half has a bolt-receiving means with a vertical measurement that is less than or equal to the distance of the free ends of the hinge bolts.
