Hinge support

A hinge assembly comprising:

• a device bracket configured for mounting to a device surface of a device;
• a door bracket configured for mounting to a door of the device;
• an arm mounted for rotation about a first pin and about a second pin, wherein the first pin is mounted to the device bracket and the second pin is mounted to the door bracket;
• and
• a hinge support comprising
• a brace configured for mounting to a door surface of the door, wherein the brace comprises a base wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a positioning wall, wherein the first side wall, the second side wall, and the positioning wall extend from the base wall in a first direction, and further wherein the first side wall has a first sloped surface, and the second side wall has a second sloped surface;
• a trestle comprising a top wall, a third side wall, a fourth side wall, and a support wall, wherein the third side wall, the fourth side wall, and the support wall extend from the top wall in a second direction, and further wherein the third side wall has a third sloped surface, and the fourth side wall has a fourth sloped surface;
• and
• a positioning device configured for mounting the trestle to the brace, wherein the positioning device is supported by the support wall and positioned to abut the positioning wall when mounting the trestle to the brace, and further wherein at least a portion of the third sloped surface is positioned to slide along the first sloped surface under control of the positioning device and at least a portion of the fourth sloped surface is positioned to slide along the second sloped surface under control of the positioning device to position the top wall of the trestle adjacent the door bracket to support the door bracket relative to the door surface.

A device comprising:

• a body;
• a door;
• a hinge pivotally mounting the door to the body, the hinge comprising
• a device bracket mounted to a surface of the body;
• a door bracket mounted to the door;
• and
• an arm mounted for rotation about a first pin and about a second pin, wherein the first pin is mounted to the device bracket and the second pin is mounted to the door bracket;
• and
• a hinge support comprising a brace mounted to a door surface of the door, wherein the brace comprises a base wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a positioning wall, wherein the first side wall, the second side wall, and the positioning wall extend from the base wall in a first direction, and further wherein the first side wall has a first sloped surface, and the second side wall has a second sloped surface;
• a trestle comprising a top wall, a third side wall, a fourth side wall, and a support wall, wherein the third side wall, the fourth side wall, and the support wall extend from the top wall in a second direction, and further wherein the third side wall has a third sloped surface, and the fourth side wall has a fourth sloped surface;
• and
• a positioning device mounting the trestle to the brace, wherein the positioning device is supported by the support wall and positioned to abut the positioning wall when mounting the trestle to the brace, and further wherein at least a portion of the third sloped surface is positioned to move along the first sloped surface under control of the positioning device and at least a portion of the fourth sloped surface is positioned to move along the second sloped surface under control of the positioning device to position the trestle adjacent the door bracket to support the door bracket relative to the door surface.
