Recessed fenestration hinge assembly and method for same
A fenestration hinge assembly includes a first leaf rotatably coupled with a second leaf. The first and second leaves each include one or more leaf knuckles. The first and second leaf knuckles are at least partially received within a hinge cavity of a recessed escutcheon, the recessed escutcheon configured for recessed installation within a panel or frame of a fenestration assembly. The fenestration hinge assembly includes a lateral adjustment plate movably coupled with a remainder of the second leaf. The lateral adjustment plate is configured to position at least a portion of the second leaf laterally relative to one of the frame or the panel. The fenestration hinge assembly includes an adjustable hinge configured for elevation adjustment. The adjustable hinge includes an elevation adjustment pin interconnecting the first and second leaf knuckles. The elevation adjustment pin is configured to position the second leaf vertically relative to the first leaf.
Refrigerator including multiple storage compartments
A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a first storage compartment; a first door that is opened or closed to allow or prevent access to an interior of the first storage compartment; a storing device coupled to the first door to define a second storage compartment, wherein, when the first door is closed, the second storage compartment is disposed in the first storage compartment; and a second door connected to the first door and configured to be opened or closed to allow or prevent access to an interior of the second storage compartment, wherein the interior of the second storage compartment is accessible when the first door is closed and the second door is opened, wherein the first door includes a plurality of first coupling parts to which the storing device is coupled, wherein the storing device includes: a frame; and a basket installed on the frame, wherein each of the frame and the basket includes at least one second coupling part interacting with at least one of the plurality of first coupling parts, wherein a front surface of the second door is positioned to be generally coplanar with at least a portion of a front surface of the first door.
Hinge set
Examples of a hinge set for used for mounting a protractible component of a device are described herein. In an example, the hinge set comprises a support hinge and a guide hinge, each having a first end and a second end. The first end of the support hinge is to pivotably couple to the protractible component and the second end of the support hinge is pivotably coupled to a frame of the device. Further, the first end of the guide hinge is to guide the protractile component and the second end of the guide hinge is to pivotably couple to the frame.

TIP FOR GEARED HINGE
A tip is provided for a geared hinge including a first leaf, a second leaf and a cap enclosing complementary meshed edges of the first and the second leaves, at least one of the first leaf, the second leaf and the cap defining a channel. The tip includes a body with a depending tongue constructed and arranged for complementary engagement in the channel, an angled upper end projecting vertically from the tongue, the upper end including an inclined surface extending from a top portion to the tongue, the inclined surface defining an overhang extending on at least one side of the tongue for covering the channel.
MEDICAL DEVICE
A medical device has a first hinge part (17) including two hinge arms (15, 16), which are arranged at a distance apart, and a hinge pin (32; 52), which is extended between the hinge arms along a longitudinal axis (38; 55). A second hinge part (18) is in certain areas accommodated between the two hinge arms and is passed through by a hinge cavity (31; 51). The hinge pin is accommodated in a pivotably movably in the hinge cavity. The hinge pin and the hinge cavity have a central contact region (33; 56) with contact between hinge pin and hinge cavity. Clearance regions (36, 37; 57, 58) border the contact region on both sides and are extended up to the hinge arms, without touching contact between hinge pin and hinge cavity, in order to ensure an exclusively central force transmission between the hinge pin and the hinge cavity.
Furniture hinge
The invention relates to a furniture hinge (10) with a hinge cup (52) having cup side walls (52.4) which encircle a cup opening at least partially, and having a cup bottom (52.1) which at least partially closes off the hinge cup (52) opposite the cup opening, with a spreading element (70) having two clamping jaws (72.1, 72.2) which at least partially radially enclose the cup side walls (52.4) of the hinge cup (52) and which are connected via a flange (71), and with a lifting arrangement for adjusting at least one of the clamp jaws (72.1, 72.2) between a first position and a second position. Here it is provided that at least one of the clamping jaws (72.1, 72.2) comprises at least one integrally formed spreading extension (76, 78) which, in the transition from the first position into the second position, cooperates with the hinge cup (52) so that the clamping jaws (72.1, 72.2) are spread. As a result, a furniture hinge is created, which can be produced cost-effectively, and which can be attached rapidly and securely to a piece of furniture.
SLIDABLE LOCKING DEVICE
A slidable locking device is described that enables rotational movement like a hinge and also provides for selective locking. The slidable locking device may include a fixed hinge part, a rotatable hinge part, and a slidable hinge part. The fixed hinge part may include a first set of protrusions and openings. The slidable hinge part may also include a second corresponding set of protrusions and openings. The rotatable hinge part may also include a third corresponding set of protrusions and openings. The slidable hinge part may be slidably coupled to the fixed hinge part. The rotating hinge part may be rotatably coupled to the fixed hinge part. As the slidable hinge part moves longitudinally with respect to the fixed hinge part, the second set of protrusions and gaps alternatingly align with the first set of protrusions and gaps. This action may define a locked position and an unlocked position.

DETACHABLE HINGE ASSEMBLY
The disclosed invention is a detachable hinge assembly, which, in one embodiment, can be employed on a cooler to provide a cooler with a removable lid. The hinge assembly includes a first attachment bar and second attachment bar coupled to the cooler body and lid, respectively, and are connected through a releasable hinge assembly which pivotably couples to both the first and second attachment bars. The releasable hinges each have an end flange constructed to pivotably couple to the first and second attachment bars and a projection having both a clip and a receiving portion. The clip from each projection is adapted to releasably couple to the receiving portion of the corresponding projection.
