Abstract: An appliance hinge assembly includes: a support member configured to be secured to an appliance; a claw pivotally coupled to the support member; and a lock member pivotally coupled to the claw, wherein the claw and the lock member can be coupled together to create a bounded space therebetween.

Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a housing member, a lever member, a traveling member and a biasing member. The housing member includes a channel and a pivot. The lever member includes an outer portion, an inner portion, and a first intermediate point located therebetween. The lever member is pivotally coupled to the pivot at the first intermediate point. The traveling member includes a main portion that is configured to extend substantially along the housing member. A second intermediate point is located on the main portion, and the inner portion of the lever member is pivotally coupled to the second intermediate point. The main portion includes a sliding block and at least one grooved wheel at an end. The sliding block is configured to travel the channel sliding between the side walls, and at least one of the sidewalls includes a rail area for the at least wheel to roll against.

Abstract: A door seal assembly includes a gasket and at least one door seal clip. The gasket includes an inner core and an outer jacket. The at least one door seal clip is formed from a wire segment and is adapted to be mounted to the gasket. The door seal clip includes an attachment portion and a base portion. The attachment portion is formed as a first loop extending along a longitudinal axis of the door seal clip. The attachment portion is capable of undergoing elastic deformation transversely about the longitudinal axis. The base portion is formed as a second loop oriented in a substantially perpendicular manner about the first loop. The base portion is adapted to be mounted between the inner core and the outer jacket.

Abstract: A hinge assembly for a door enclosing a compartment includes a first housing, a second housing, a mounting member, a link member, a locking member, and a biasing member. The first housing includes an opening in a front wall leading to a channel. An upper stop and a lower stop are located in the channel. The mounting member includes a distal end including a first abutting portion, a second abutting portion and a slot. The distal end of the mounting member is configured to be inserted in the opening so that the first abutting portion engages the upper stop, the second abutting portion engages the lower stop and the slot engages a lower edge of the opening.

Abstract: A gas range has a plurality of burners each of which extend through a respective burner opening in a range top of the gas range. A gap is formed between each burner assembly and its respective opening. Each burner assembly includes a burner head which includes an annular air stability ring which extends into the gap between the burner assembly and the range top. The air stability ring deflects flue products escaping through this gap away from the burner ports. By deflecting the flue products away from the burner ports, the flame eminating from the burner ports is stabilized permitting more efficient combustion of the gas.
