The invention provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a refrigerator body and a door body, wherein a hinge body is arranged on the refrigerator body and is provided with a first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft; a first guide groove and a second guide groove are formed in the door body; after mounting of the door body and the refrigerator body is finished, the first hinge shaft is positioned in the first guide groove, and the second hinge shaft is positioned in the second guide groove; in an opening process of the door body, the first guide groove moves relative to the first hinge shaft, and the second guide groove moves relative to the second hinge shaft; and in a moving process, the first hinge shaft applies an acting force to the first guide groove to drives one end, which is away from the first guide groove, of the second guide groove to be close to the second hinge shaft, so that the door body moves in the horizontal direction. Compared with the prior art, the refrigerator has the characteristics that in an opening process of the door body of the refrigerator, the door body moves in the horizontal direction relative to the refrigerator body, and therefore, the door body of the refrigerator does not intervene with a surrounding wall in the opening process.

A drawer pull-out guide including an automatic retraction device having a pawl component with a receptacle that receives a catch on a running rail as the rails move relative to the guide rail when approaching a closed position and an entraining rocker. During a final part of retraction movement of the pawl component, the entraining rocker being coupled to and movable with the pawl component; and during an initial displacement path of the pawl component the entraining rocker being decoupled from the pawl component and retained against longitudinal displacement in the pawl housing. A first spring biasing the pawl component into a first end position and locking the pawl component; and a second spring for biasing the entraining rocker in a direction of retraction engages on the entraining rocker.

Active seal assemblies employing active materials that can be controlled and remotely changed to alter the seal effectiveness, wherein the active seal assemblies actively change modulus properties such as stiffness, shape orientation, and the like. In this manner, in seal applications such as a vehicle door application, door opening and closing efforts can be minimized yet seal effectiveness can be maximized.

A latch assembly for double hung windows also permits each of the sashes to be tilted inwardly with respect to the window frame assembly. The window latch assembly includes a keeper which is recessed within a lower rail of the upper window sash, and a latch which is recessed in the upper rail of the lower window sash and positioned such that the latch and the keeper are selectively engaged upon rotation of a sweeper cam. The sweeper cam also engages a slide translatable between a first position engaging one of the side rails of the window frame assembly, and a second position, retracted within the lower window sash and release the upper edge of the window sash from the window frame assembly.

A refrigerator with a home bar door is smoothly and automatically opened and includes an automatic opening unit, a hook unit, a latch unit, and a damping unit. The automatic opening unit pushes the home bar door to a predetermined angle, so that the home bar door is automatically opened by gravity. The hook unit cooperates with the latch unit to lock or unlock the home bar door. The damping unit includes a casing and is connected to at least one hinge shaft. The automatic opening unit is provided with a push rod and an elastic member to open by a rotation thereof. The home bar door is rotated to be opened. A rotary member is rotatably installed in the casing, with oil contained therein to reduce rotating speed of the rotary member. An associated hinge shaft engages with the rotary member to rotate along with the rotary member.

A refrigerator is disclosed. The disclosed refrigerator includes a body having a storage chamber, a first door pivotably provided at a front side of the body, to open or close the storage chamber, the first door having an opening, and at least one door pocket provided at the opening, a second door pivotably provided at a front side of the first door, to open or close the opening, the second door pivoting in the same direction as the first door, a first upper hinge and a first lower hinge respectively coupled to upper and lower surfaces of the body, to pivotably support the first door, and a second upper hinge and a second lower hinge respectively coupled to upper and lower surfaces of the first door, to pivotably support the second door.

Active seal assemblies employing active materials that can be controlled and remotely changed to alter the seal effectiveness, wherein the active seal assemblies actively change modulus properties such as stiffness, shape orientation, and the like. In this manner, in seal applications tailored for vehicles such as in a vehicle door application, door opening and closing efforts can be minimized yet seal effectiveness can be maximized.
