Disclosed are a hinge and a refrigeration equipment. The hinge includes a vertical hinge shaft, a first hinge base and a second hinge base. The first hinge base includes a first installation plate and a first sleeve rotatably connected to the hinge shaft to make the first sleeve rotate around the hinge shaft. A lower end of the first sleeve is provided with a first slope sloping downwards. The second hinge base below the first hinge base includes a second installation plate and a second sleeve fixed on the hinge shaft. An upper end of the second sleeve is provided with a second slope sloping upwards. The second slope abuts against and cooperates with the first slope for the first sleeve to move from a first position to a second position along a direction away from the second sleeve or from the second position to the first position along a direction close to the second sleeve while being rotated around the hinge shaft.

A hinge assembly for a vacuum insulated door includes a hinge plate that defines an aperture, and a bracket has a body and is configured to be welded with the vacuum insulated door. A hinge pin is operably coupled to the body of the bracket and rotatably coupled within the hinge plate. A bushing is disposed within the aperture defined by the hinge plate and rotatably coupled to the hinge pin.

A vehicle door hinge that includes a door bracket mountable to a vehicle door, a body bracket mountable to a vehicle body, a pivot bushing having a cylindrical bearing that is disposed within a pivot axis hole of the body bracket, and a pivot pin that rotatably couples the door bracket and the body bracket together. The pivot pin includes a first shoulder disposed within the cylindrical bearing; and the pivot pin includes a second shoulder extending from the first shoulder. The second shoulder has a knurled cylindrical surface that is disposed within a pivot axis hole of the door bracket.

A furniture fitting for the movable mounting of a furniture part, in particular a furniture flap, on a furniture panel, includes a main body, a rotary lever, and a bearing pin. The bearing pin is connected to the main body and/or to at least one base lever, and the rotary lever has a hole and the bearing pin projects through the hole. The rotary lever has, in at least one region surrounding the hole, a widened portion which extends at least in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bearing pin.

The invention relates to a drive train of a drive (2) for the motorized displacement of a closure element (3) of a motor vehicle, wherein at least one friction engagement mechanism (6) is provided in order to provide a friction torque, wherein the friction engagement mechanism (6) is a component of a coupling mechanism (7) of the drive train (1) for coupling two drive components (11, 12) of the drive train (1) in a rotationally secure manner, wherein the coupling mechanism (7) is coupled in a rotationally secure manner via a motor-side coupling piece (7a) to a motor-side component of the drive components (11) and via a coupling piece (7b) remote from the motor to a component remote from the motor of the drive components (12), wherein the coupling mechanism (7) has a plurality of friction engagement elements (8, 9, 10) which can be rotated about a drive axle (X) and which are arranged coaxially relative to each other and which form the friction engagement mechanism (6), wherein a central element of the friction engagement elements (8) is in frictional engagement with two additional elements of the friction engagement elements (9, 10). It is proposed that the friction engagement elements (8, 9, 10) be arranged concentrically relative to each other at least in portions and that the central friction engagement element (8) be a tolerance ring (13) and be clamped radially between the two additional elements of the friction engagement elements (9, 10) in order to provide a friction engagement connection.

A vehicle hinge, in particular for use for pivotable vehicle hinged closure elements, includes a first hinge half (2) having at least one first hinge half part (3); a second hinge half (10); and a hinge pin (18), which connects the first hinge half (2) and the second hinge half (10) in an articulated manner. The hinge pin (18) is mounted in an articulated manner in one of the first hinge half (2) and the second hinge half (10) and can be fastened in a rotational fixed manner to the other of the first hinge half (2) and the second hinge half (10). A retaining ring (21) penetrated by a retaining portion of the hinge pin (18) is arranged between the first hinge half (2) and the second hinge half (10). The retaining ring (21) is fastened, by a central hole, on the retaining portion of the hinge pin (18) by a press fit.

A method of assembling a vehicle door hinge that includes providing a first bracket comprising a single pivot arm extending transversely from a base of the first bracket, wherein a first pivot axis hole is disposed in the single pivot arm of the first bracket; providing a second bracket comprising a single pivot arm extending transversely from a base of the second bracket, wherein a cylindrical bearing of a pivot bushing is disposed in a second pivot axis hole disposed in the single pivot arm of the second bracket; and coupling a pivot pin to the pivot bushing and the first and second brackets to rotatably couple the first and second brackets together by press fitting a knurled cylindrical surface of the pivot pin with a receiving surface of the single pivot arm of the first bracket that defines the first pivot axis hole, wherein a shoulder of the pivot pin that is adjacent to the knurled cylindrical surface is disposed within a bore of the pivot pin and the second pivot axis hole.
