Abstract: A hinged support apparatus that can include a mounting plate, an elongated base, and two living hinges on the elongated base. The mounting plate can have a proximal and a distal end. The elongated base can have a proximal end, a midway point, and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the elongated base can be attached to at least a portion of the proximal end of the mounting plate and the midway point can create a proximal half and a distal half of the elongated base. A first of the two living hinges can be located between the proximal end and the midway point of the elongated base. A second of the two living hinges can be located between the first living hinge and the midway point of the elongated base. The two living hinges can be parallel to each other and can pivot in the same direction.

Abstract: A hinge has a hinge body forming an articulating section extending between a first end and a second end of the hinge. The articulating section is adapted to bend from a neutral axis when the first and second ends are parallel to an angular range in which the first end is arranged among a plurality of angles within the angular range relative to the second end. The hinge body may define a receptacle along the articulating section, and an insert may be provided for insertion into the receptacle. The insert can modify the stiffness of the hinge in the angular range and is arranged parallel to the neutral axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a door frame, particularly a door frame for a pre-hung door assembly, which is foldable to minimize storage space and to allow for enhanced logistic efficiencies. The door frame contains parallel, spaced apart, vertical jambs and a horizontal header connecting the top ends of the jambs. Each of the jambs and the horizontal header contains a front section and back section that are hingedly joined so that then can be folded on to each other. The hingedly joined front and back sections allow the door fame to be foldable to minimize space occupied during storage.

Abstract: A hinged mechanism includes: panels; and hinges connecting respective pairs of the panels to each other in a closed loop so that the hinged mechanism is non-planar, wherein at least one of the hinges is a rolling-contact hinge. All of the hinges can be rolling-contact hinges. The closed-loop hinged mechanism can comprise at least four hinges, each of the at least four hinges being a sole connection between a respective adjacent pair of the panels. A cross section of rolling surfaces of the rolling-contact hinge can be circular. A cross section of rolling surfaces of the rolling-contact hinge can be non-circular.

Abstract: A structure body having a resin molded body which can suppress deterioration of external appearance due to meander of the folded line formed in the hinge portion even when the resin constituting the resin molded body contains an inorganic fiber. The structure body has a resin molded body and the resin molded body includes: a first main body portion and a second main body portion; and a hinge portion; wherein the first main body portion and the second main body portion are connected at the hinge portion with each other so as to be rotatable with respect to each other; the hinge portion comprises a first thin portion, a second thin portion, and a thick portion.

Abstract: A controllable shape memory alloy (SMA) hinge apparatus comprises multiple SMA elements to effect a first angle of rotation and a second angle of rotation between a first object and a second object. In one example, respective SMA elements are independently activated by Joule heating to rotate the first object and/or the second object. SMA elements undergo a three-dimensional transformation, and a pair of elements may undergo antagonistic transformations so as to provide for a multiple-use bidirectional non-continuous rotary actuator. SMA elements may be trained to achieve different angles of rotations between the objects (e.g., zero degrees and 90 degrees). In some examples, the first object may be a spacecraft (e.g., a satellite) and the second object may be a deployable structure (e.g., a robotic appendage, a deployable solar panel, a deployable aperture, a deployable mirror, a deployable radiator, and at least one actuator to steer an antenna dish).

Abstract: A camming member for a door may have a camming surface which lifts the door as the door is traversed from an opened position to a closed position. The lifting movement of the door caused by the camming member facilitates one or more latches used to reinforce a periphery of the door to be engaged without further user intervention.
