The hinge assembly includes a biasing spring that comprising an inner end engaged with the base and an outer end spaced from the base. The outer end of said spring is located outside the channel. A spring rod includes an outer end operatively coupled to the spring and an inner end operatively coupled to the lobe of the cam such that the spring biases the spring rod to an extended position. | 09-19-2013 |
20140130299 | SOFT CLOSE MECHANISM FOR A CLOSURE - A soft close mechanism that may have a cam track housing, a damper housing, and a cam follower. The cam track housing may have first and second grooves. The damper housing may rotate with respect to the cam track housing. The cam follower may be disposed in the first groove when the damper housing is rotated in a first direction and may be disposed in the second groove when the damper housing is rotated in a second direction. | 05-15-2014 |
20140215756 | HINGE DEVICE WITH DAMPER - A rotary damper includes a damper body having a cylindrical configuration and a rotor rotatably disposed in the damper body. The rotor is non-rotatably connected to an inner link so that the rotor is rotatable together with the inner link. Two teeth constituting a part of a gear are formed in an outer circumferential surface of the damper body. A tooth of a gear member rotatable together with an outer link is engaged with the teeth. By this arrangement, the damper body and the rotor can be rotated in opposite directions. | 08-07-2014 |

20140352107 | UNIVERSAL SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING RACK DOORS - A mount for mounting a door to rack includes a plate including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a hinge arm adjustably coupled with the plate and extending at an angle from a first side of the plate adjacent to the first end, the hinge arm including a door pin receptacle to receive a door pin therein for coupling the door to the rack via the plate. | 12-04-2014 |
20150020349 | DOOR HINGE OF VEHICLE - A door hinge of a vehicle can reduce a closing speed by generating rotational resistance only when strongly closing a door or a trunk at a predetermined speed or more. The door hinge of a vehicle may include: a door bracket coupled to a door and rotatably coupled to one side of a vehicle body bracket coupled to a vehicle body; a pawl lever pivotably assembled to the door bracket and rotating when a door closes over a predetermined speed; an anti-rotation ring pivotably assembled to the vehicle body bracket and combined with the pawl lever to operate together when the door closes over a predetermined speed; and a friction member disposed inside the anti-rotation ring and generating rotational resistance when the anti-rotation ring pivots. | 01-22-2015 |
20160040466 | LOW PROFILE ADJUSTABLE SOFT CLOSE HINGE APPARATUS - Disclosed is a low profile, adjustable, soft close hinge comprised of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body via a hinge arm and a hinge link in a four-bar linkage arrangement. A spring biases the hinge to a closed position. The hinge body is adjustably connected to an inner frame with an overlay adjustment screw and depth adjustment cam. The inner frame releasably connects the hinge body to a mounting plate. A stop bracket is adjustably and slidably connected to the hinge body by a helical cam. The adjustable position of the stop bracket relative to the hinge body determines the point at which the damping functionality of a damper begins during a hinge closing movement. A linkage sub-assembly pivotally connects the damper to the hinge link. | 02-11-2016 |
