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 .

A hinge for doors of domestic appliances, comprising a first element and a second element pivoted to each other and movable relative to each other in tilting fashion, the first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an electrical household appliance, for making the door movable with respect to the frame between a closed position and an open position, a lever for connection between the first and the second closing elements, an elastic element connected to the lever and designed to generate with its own deformation a force of elastic adjustment designed to compensate at least partially the weight force of the door during the opening or closing of the door, means for adjusting the intensity of the elastic reaction force.

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 spacer that attaches to a window sash in order to create an improved window construction. The window construction has a window frame with side tracks. A window sash is set within the side tracks of the window frame. Gap spaces exist between the window sash and the side tracks. To prevent cocking, spacers are provided. The spacers attached to the sides of the window sash inside the tracks where the spacer is not visible. Each spacer has a base, a spring arm that extends from the base, and a contact head that is supported by the spring arm. The base is mounted to the window sash within a gap space. The spring arm extends into the gap space and biases the contact head toward the side track. The contact head also presents a physical barrier to lateral movement. This inhibits the sash from cocking within the window frame.

A fence system with a gate assembly mounted in a gap between first and second fence portions of the fence system. A hinge may be used to mount the gate assembly, where the hinge has a clamp fixed to a support with substantially the same cross-section, and the support is fixed to a first member of the hinge. A second member of the hinge can be mounted to the gate assembly with the first and second members being rotatably fixed together, thereby allowing rotation of the gate assembly between open, closed, and various other positions. A latch actuator can selectively secure and release a latch retainer thereby selectively allowing the gate to rotate to the various positions. A handle can be positioned proximate the latch actuator to allow gripping of the handle and manipulating the actuator with one hand, thereby releasing the retainer.

A fence system with a gate assembly mounted in a gap between first and second fence portions of the fence system. The gate assembly can be mounted directly to a post of the first or second fence portions without being mounted to pickets or backer rails of the fence portions. A hinge may be used to mount the gate assembly, where the hinge has a clamp fixed to a support with substantially the same cross-section, and the support is fixed to a first member of the hinge. A second member of the hinge can be mounted to the gate assembly with the first and second members being rotatably fixed together, thereby allowing rotation of the gate assembly between open, closed, and various other positions.

A door actuator for opening and/or closing a door leaf includes a housing, an output shaft rotatably supported in the housing and with a cam disc, wherein the output shaft is formed for transferring torque onto the door leaf. A first element of motion is linearly movably guided in the housing with a first contact surface. A second element of motion is linearly movably guided in the housing with a second contact surface. A distancing arrangement is disposed in the housing. The cam disc is disposed between the two contact surfaces and for rolling on the two contact surfaces. In at least one delimiting range of angles of rotation of the output shaft, the distancing arrangement delimits the minimum distance between the elements of motion, and, in at least one free range of angles of rotation, does not delimit the linear mobility of the two elements of motion in relation to each other.

Hinge assemblies having a tub knuckle, a lid leaf and a hinge pin assembly are provided. The tub knuckle has a base, a first pin holder extending from the base and a second pin holder extending from the base and spaced from the first pin holder. The lid leaf has a mounting plate and a pin holder. The hinge pin assembly is movable between a closed position and an open position, and includes a hinge pin and a retainer assembly that can be used to lock the hinge pin assembly in the closed and open positions.

A hinge device includes a first hinge body 10, a second hinge body 20 and a link mechanism 6. The link mechanism includes a moving link 30 having a rear end rotatably connected to the first hinge body and a front end rotatably connected to the second hinge body, a front connecting link 50 having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a front end portion of the first hinge body and an intermediate portion rotatably connected to an intermediate portion of the moving link, and a supporting link having one end rotatably connected to a distal end of the front connecting link and the other end rotatably connected to the second hinge body. The front connecting link has a pair of resin spacers 57 interposed between the pair of side walls 11 of the first hinge body 10 and the pair of side walls 31 of the moving link.

A hinge for doors of domestic appliances, comprising a first element and a second element pivoted to each other and movable relative to each other in tilting fashion, the first and second elements being fixable one to a frame and the other to a door of an electrical household appliance, for making the door movable with respect to the frame between a dosed position and an open position, a lever for connection between the first and the second closing elements, an elastic element connected to the lever and designed to generate with its own deformation a force of elastic adjustment designed to compensate at least partially the weight force of the door during the opening or closing of the door, means for adjusting the intensity of the elastic reaction force.
