ABSTRACT:
A door hinge arrangement for various home appliances such as a refrigerator, which permits opening of the door alternatively at either sie. The arrangement includes couples of hinge plates, receiving plates and locking pins engaged with the hinge plates, a connecting lever operationally connecting the locking pins to each other, and a pair of torsional springs for transmitting the movement of the locking pins to the connecting lever along guide grooves formed on the receiving plates. In this arrangement, the overall structure is simplified and opening of the door is carried out smoothly, as the hinge plates are connected directly to the connecting lever by the locking pins and the springs.
