Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere Geschirrspülmaschine, wenigstens aufweisend: einen Behandlungsbehälter mit einer um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbaren Behältertür und eine Türgewichtsausgleichsvorrichtung zum wenigstens teilweisen Gewichtsausgleich des Gewichts der Behältertür mittels Federkraft eines Federmittels, das mit einem Zugübertragungsmittel (4) mit der Behältertür Federkräfte übertragend verbunden ist, die eine um eine Schwenkachse (8) schwenkbar angeordnete Umlenkeinrichtung (1) aufweist. Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Umlenkeinrichtung (1) wenigstens zwei Gleitflächen (10, 11) zum Umlenken des Zugübertragungsmittels (4) aufweist.
Abstract:
A drive arrangement (10) has first and second wheels (12, 14) and an endless loop member (16). The path of the member (16) is defined in part by a third wheel (18), between the wheels (12, 14). The wheel (18) is movably mounted so that the length can be changed for the path of the member (16) as it passes around the wheel (18), between the wheels (12, -14). Accordingly, the member (16) can be tightened or slackened around the wheels (12, 14), so that the wheels (12, 14) can be coupled to convey drive from one to the other, through the member (16), or disengaged, so that drive is not conveyed.
Abstract:
A device (1) for use with a cable-operated door (3), such as garage doors (3) and the like, and a door assembly including the same. The device (1) is intended to reduce the risk of the door (3) falling, or at the very least slow down its descent, in the event of a failure in the counterbalancing mechanism of the door (3), which is generally represented by a loss of tension in a given tensioned cable (5) operating the door (3). The brake device (1) includes a support bracket (9), and a guiding assembly (15) and a braking assembly (17) mounted onto the support bracket (9). The braking assembly includes a swivel component (18) having opposite braking arm (19) and lever portion (20), the lever portion cooperating with the tensioned cable (3) so that in the event of a loss of tension in the cable (5), the braking arm (19) is urged onto an adjacent rail (7) via biasing means (21) for anchoring a knife (45) of the braking arm (19) into the rail (7) and stopping, or at the very least, slowing down the descent of the door (3), with respect to the rail (7).
Abstract:
A line tensioning device (4) comprising a body (44), a line guide member (42) rotatably mounted to the body (44) and having means to seat and guide a line as it changes direction. The line tensioning device also comprises a spring (46) disposed to bias the line guide member (42) in one rotational direction whereby to tension the line and ratchet means (48, 50) coupling the line guide member (42) and the body (44). The ratchet means (48, 50) includes an engagement member (48) responsive to a very slow change in the operating rotational position of said line guide member (42) in one rotational direction, over multiple cyclic movements of the line, to move from one ratchet position to a next ratchet position.
Abstract:
A sliding window or sliding door arrangement having an external frame and a sliding element which is displaceably mounted in the external frame, a cable deflection system for tensioning and deflecting a cable, which includes a first cable deflection unit with a first cable deflection device, a second cable deflection unit with a second cable deflection device, and a guide channel which extends in the direction of gravitational force. The second cable deflection unit is held in the guide channel against gravitational force by a cable which is inserted into the cable deflection device, such that when the sliding element is displaced, the second cable deflection unit is displaced in the direction of gravitational force or in the opposing direction in the guide channel.

Abstract:
A vehicle interior assembly includes a frame and a fall away door that closes off an opening in the frame when in a closed position. The door moves between the closed position and an open position via sequential vertical and horizontal movements. From the closed position, the door first drops vertically to a dropped position. A final portion of this vertical movement may be damped movement. From the dropped position, the door moves horizontally to the open position, at which the door is concealed from view from the exterior of the assembly. Various guides can be provided to define the movement path of the door. Various types of non-visible sensors can be used to detect a user's intention to open and close the door.
Abstract:
A vehicle roof is provided having a mobile roof element which can be moved by means of a drive carriage which is connected to the roof part and can be movably guided in a guide rail, a drive cable for moving the drive carriage, and a cable connection which connects the drive cable to the drive carriage. The cable connection may have a metal element.
Abstract:
A vehicle window regulator includes a slider base supported on a guide rail; a drive wire connected to the slider base; a wire guide supported at one end of the guide rail and having a winding part, onto which the drive wire is wound, at a position offset from the guide rail in a vehicle width direction; and a driver which raises and lowers the slider base via the drive wire. The wire guide is supported by the guide rail by a retainer and a pressing portion, the retainer engaged with the guide rail, and the pressing portion being engaged with the guide rail to press the guide rail toward the other end of the guide rail. The pressing portion is formed at a position toward the other end and formed at a position offset from the retainer toward the winding part.
Abstract:
A cable guide for use with a window regulator assembly includes a body, an attachment configured to be inserted through an aperture in a guide rail and retain a portion of the guide rail in a rail gap, a spring tab configured to press against an edge of the guide rail, and a cable retention arm configured to receive a tensioned drive cable of the window regulator. The cable guide may be steadily assembled to the guide rail by utilizing the pushing force from the tensioned drive cable. The aperture is located along the guide rail such that the aperture is out of the slide path of the window carrier of the window regulator assembly.
