Abstract:
A drive assembly moves a vehicle closure panel from an open to a closed condition. The drive assembly has a housing and a motor mounted on the housing. A drum and gear assembly is rotatably mounted on the housing. The drum and gear assembly has a drum having a helical groove, a gear in driving engagement with the motor, and a spring biasing the drum in a winding direction relative to the gear. The drum and gear have a lost motion connection therebetween. A cable has an end connected to the closure panel and an opposite end connected to the drum about the helical groove in the winding direction. The drum rotates in the winding direction relative to the stationary gear as the closure panel is manually moved from the open to the closed condition with the spring maintaining a cable tension. The drum and gear rotate together in the winding direction upon energizing the motor effecting powered movement of the closure panel to the closed condition. The motor is afterwards energized in an opposite direction counter-rotating the gear relative to the drum back to a start position.
Abstract:
A support mechanism supports a hood (10) in a raised position with respect to a vehicle to which the hood (10) is pivotally coupled. The support mechanism (14) includes a pivotal lift rod (40) coupled between the vehicle and the hood (10). The mechanism (14) also includes a pair of arm members (16, 30) which are pivotally coupled to each other by a central pivot pin (24), and which are coupled between the vehicle and a central portion (54) of the rod (40). A flat coil spring (60) is coiled around the central pivot pin (24) and is attached to the arm members (16, 30). The spring (60) is biased to pivot the hood (10) upwardly. The lower end (42) of the rod (40) is anchored by a removable pivot pin (44), which, when removed, permits the hood (10) to be raised approximately 90 degrees from it lowered position.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Antrieb einer an einem Fahrzeug vorgesehenen Klappe, insbesondere einer Motorhaube (3), mit einem Elektromotor, einer Betätigungswelle (11), die mit der Klappe verbunden ist, einem Untersetzungsgetriebe, durch das der Rotor (27) des Elektromotors an die Betätigungswelle (11) angekoppelt ist, und einem Kraftspeicher, durch den die Betätigungswelle (11) unabhängig vom Elektromotor antreibbar ist. Bei diesem Antrieb ist das Untersetzungsgetriebe so ausgebildet, daß die Betätigungswelle (11) in einer Drehrichtung (B) nur vom Kraftspeicher angetrieben wird und der Elektromotor die Betätigungswelle (11) in der Gegendrehrichtung (A) antreibt und dabei dem Kraftspeicher die Energie zuführt, die zum Antrieb der Betätigungswelle (11) in Drehrichtung notwendig ist.

Die Getriebeschnecke (14, 114) ist zur Verbesserung eines Einklemmschutzes eines vom Antrieb (10, 110) betätigten Stellteiles (18) in Richtung der Drehachse (22, 122) der Motorankerwelle (12, 112) in wenigstens einer Axialrichtung bzw. Umfangsrichtung gegen eine Kraft (F) beweglich und in Drehrichtung bzw. Axialrichtung der Motorankerwelle (12, 112) drehfest bzw. verschiebfest an der Motorankerwelle (12, 112) angeordnet.
Abstract:
The device comprises a driver (11), which is designed for movement from a passive position to an opening position, thus moving the window (5) from a closed to an open position, a spring (27) for actuating the driver (11) in a direction towards the opening position, and a coupling device (10) for retaining the driver (11) in the passive position, which coupling device may be activated and inactivated, and a guide rail system (12, 13) for controlling the movement of the driver (11) from the passive position to the opening position.
Abstract:
A window regulator for operating a slidable window panel. The window regulator includes a drive drum (14) mounted for rotation in a wire winding direction to wind a first wire (W1) having one end mounted on a window panel carrier (C) and in a wire unwinding direction to unwind the first wire. A driven drum (15) is mounted for rotation in a wire winding direction to wind a second wire (W2) having one end mounted to the carrier and in a wire unwinding direction to unwind the second wire. The drive and driven drums (14, 15) come into connection with each other for rotation of the driven drum in unison with the drive drum only when the drive drum rotates in its wire unwinding direction. A device (31, 32, 17) is provided for making a connection between the drive and driven drums for rotation of the driven drum in unison with the drive drum in response to rotation of the drive drum in its wire winding direction.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a self-closing sliding door assembly operable to allow manual opening and controlled automatic closing of a sliding door. The door assembly comprises storage spools for storing biasing members biased in a wound position around the storage spools. The door assembly further comprises a main spool for winding a cable and the biasing members. When the door is moved towards an open position, the cable is unwound from the main spool, causing the spool to rotate in a first direction. When the main spool is rotated in the first direction, the biasing members are wound onto the main spool and store energy operable to generate a force to cause the main spool to rotate in a second direction. When the door is released, the energy stored in the biasing members rotates the main spool in the second direction, thereby winding the door cable and providing a sufficient force to move the door towards the closed position.
Abstract:
A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier. The mounting bracket may include a first mounting surface disposed at a non-perpendicular angle relative to an exterior surface of carrier when the window balance assembly is in an uninstalled configuration. The first mounting surface may be substantially parallel to the exterior surface of the carrier when the window balance assembly is in an installed configuration and the mounting bracket is disengaged from the carrier.
