A door hinge apparatus of a vehicle may include a slide unit including a slide body and a main slider where the slide body is provided on one side of a vehicle body corresponding to an end portion of a door in the vehicle and the main slider is movable in a width direction of the vehicle with respect to the slide body, and a door hinge bracket engaged with the end portion of the door and operably coupled to the main slider.

A door hinge apparatus of a vehicle may include a rail plate provided on one side of a vehicle body corresponding to an end portion of a door of the vehicle and formed with a rail in a width direction of the vehicle, a hinge slide unit including a slide bracket provided on the rail and a door hinge bracket provided on the door where the slide bracket includes a guide slot formed in a diagonal direction of the slide bracket and the slide bracket and the door hinge bracket are pivotally coupled each other through a hinge shaft, and an actuator having a roller configured at a rod to roll along the guide slot so that the slide bracket moves along the rail.

A locking device for releasably locking two furniture parts that can move relative to one another against the force of a force accumulator, includes a heart-shaped locking contour with a heart-shaped depression and a locking element, and can move relative to the heart-shaped locking contour and, in a locking position, can be arranged in the heart-shaped depression of the heart-shaped locking contour. The locking element can be moved, by a motion out of the locking position into a further pushed position, out of the heart-shaped depression into a release position, and the locking device has a push-through depression separate from the heart-shaped depression, in which the at least one locking element can be arranged and at least one blocking contour which blocks movement of the at least one locking element out of the push-through depression into the heart-shaped depression.

An actuating apparatus (1) for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle, having a locking and/or arresting kinematics that cooperate with the cover. The actuating apparatus includes a housing (2) and an actuating part (3) received in the housing (2) and movably supported relative to the housing (2). The actuating part (3) cooperates with the cover in such a way that the actuating part (3) performs a movement relative to the housing (2) between a first position and a second position upon a movement of the cover between a closed position and an open position, wherein, in the first position, the actuating part (3) is in a locked state. The actuating apparatus (1) further includes an elastically deformable spring system (4) associated with the actuating part (3), in particular having a progressive spring characteristic.

A system is used to control access into a vehicle having a vehicle body defining a vehicle interior, a vehicle exterior, and an access opening. The vehicle also has an access door for selectively covering and uncovering at least a portion of the access opening. The system includes a latch configured to selectively fasten the door to the vehicle body and release the door therefrom. The system also includes a cable configured to operate the latch and thereby release the door from the vehicle body. The system additionally includes a door presenter configured to shift the door away from the vehicle body. The system also includes a mechanism configured to sequentially actuate the cable and the door presenter. The system further includes an electric motor configured to power the mechanism such that the door is shifted away from the vehicle body by the door presenter after the door is released.

A refrigerator comprising a door rotatable about a hinge shaft. A door opening and closing apparatus comprises a drive motor, a first gear configured to receive power from the drive motor, a second gear, spaced apart from the first gear, configured to transmit a rotational force to the hinge shaft, a clutch gear configured to be rotatable around a rotation axis of the first gear, and configured to transmit power of the first gear to the second gear based on a position of the clutch gear around the rotation axis of the first gear, and a position detection sensor configured to detect the position of the clutch gear so that while the clutch gear is at the position, the clutch gear transmits the power received from the first gear to the second gear which transmits the rotational force to the hinge shaft to open and close the door.

A vehicle interior assembly includes a frame and a fall away door that closes off an opening in the frame when in a closed position. The door moves between the closed position and an open position via sequential vertical and horizontal movements. From the closed position, the door first drops vertically to a dropped position. A final portion of this vertical movement may be damped movement. From the dropped position, the door moves horizontally to the open position, at which the door is concealed from view from the exterior of the assembly. Various guides can be provided to define the movement path of the door. Various types of non-visible sensors can be used to detect a user's intention to open and close the door.

A bi-directional door opening structure includes a front door configured to be rotatably opened with respect to a front hinge part positioned in a roof of a vehicle, a rear door configured to be rotatably opened with respect to a rear hinge part positioned in the roof of the vehicle, and a drive unit positioned in the roof at a point where the front door and the rear door are adjacent to each other, and configured to apply an opening force to the front door and the rear door, wherein the drive unit includes a spindle unit configured to open at least one of the front door and the rear door, which has been unlocked by a driving force applied from a driving part, and a differential gear configured to deliver the driving force between the spindle unit and the driving part.
