Abstract:
A swing leaf actuator has an output shaft and a drive mechanism with at least one drive portion. The drive mechanism is operatively connected to the output shaft to be driven in at least one direction. The output shaft has a connecting portion that is connected to a swing leaf. The output shaft is translationally movable along its axis of rotation. A method for mounting the swing leaf actuator includes inserting the drive mechanism into a housing of the swing leaf actuator. Components disposed on the output shaft in a torque-proof manner are aligned such that the output shaft is pushed into the components. The output shaft is inserted into the components to be torque-proof with respect to each other. A mounting device includes elements configured to align the output shaft with regard to the components disposed on the output shaft in a torque-proof manner.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a synchronization device for moving a first actuating device in synchronization with at least one second actuating device. The first actuating device and the second actuating device are provided on a piece of furniture in the installed state in order to move a movable furniture part. The device includes a synchronization rod for transferring a synchronous motion of the at least two actuating devices, and at least one fastening device, by which the synchronization rod can be detachably connected to at least one of the two actuating devices. At least one detachable locking device is also provided, which prevents the synchronization rod from being connected to the at least one fastening device in the locked state of the locking device, wherein the locking device is in the locking state without prior actuation by a user.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle window lifter with a twistable or bendable guide rail 3 on which a driver to be coupled with a window pane is shiftably mounted and which includes fastening points 51 with are connectable with fastening receptacles 41 of a carrier element 2. Between the fastening receptacles 41 of the carrier element 2 at least one supporting point 61 is provided. When bracing the fastening points 51 of the guide rail 3 with the fastening receptacles 41 of the carrier element 2, the guide rail 3 supports on the supporting point 61 and twisting of the initially straight guide rail 3 with a specified degree of twisting and/or bending of the guide rail 3 with a specified bending radius R is effected.
Abstract:
A multi-part drive shaft for a transit vehicle door comprises an upper drive shaft connected to a door operating mechanism and having a door panel operating arm extending therefrom, a lower drive shaft journaled for rotation, a door panel operating arm extending therefrom and a flexible drive shaft secured at one end to the upper drive shaft and at the other end to the lower drive shaft. Rotation of the upper drive shaft will transfer torque to the lower drive shaft at the same angular speed.
Abstract:
A sliding device (13), guided on the ceiling (3) or under the floor (7) of a cabinet (1) with a rail element (19), which allows a sliding door (15) to be synchronously pulled away from the closet (1) in a parallel manner and then slid. In order to also guide the lower edge of the sliding door (15), the motion of the sliding door can be transmitted from the upper edge of the sliding door to the lower edge by a transmission shaft. No cavities or guide grooves have to be formed on the cabinet (1) or the floor (7), ceiling (9), side walls (3), or partition wall (5) thereof.
Abstract:
A retrofit conversion kit for facilitating the conversion of a door operating apparatus conventionally mounted above the door, to a position mounted and anchored underground for operating a swinging door therefrom. The conversion to an anchored underground position is facilitated by incorporating positional adjustment mechanisms covering any or all possible adjustment dimensions.
Abstract:
This top hung door assembly (10) for a merchandiser includes a pair of doors 12, 14 each having an upper frame member (20) including a metal reinforcing member (22). An upper track member (16) is provided including depending flange members (36) and (38) each having a roller mounting portion (48). A pair of spaced wheel assemblies (60) is provided including a bracket (50) having a lower portion (54) connected to the upper door frame and an upper portion (52) carrying a pair of rollers (60) received by the roller mounting portion (46). The upper track member (16) includes associate track members (46) having spaced notches (49) to facilitate mounting the doors. Also the flange members have flexible tips (44) facilitating the sealing and mounting of the doors.
Abstract:
An electromechanical strut is provided for moving a pivotal lift gate between an open position and a closed position relative to a motor vehicle body. The electromechanical strut includes a housing connected to one of the lift gate and the motor vehicle body. An extensible shaft is slidably mounted to the housing. The extensible shaft is connected to the other of the lift gate and the motor vehicle body. A drive mechanism includes a rotatable power screw. The drive mechanism converts rotary motion of the power screw into linear motion of the extensible shaft to move the extensible shaft between a retracted position corresponding to the closed position of the lift gate and an extended position corresponding to the open position of the lift gate. A power spring includes one end connected to the extensible shaft and another end connected to the housing for providing a mechanical counterbalance to the weight of the lift gate.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a garage door assembly. The garage door assembly includes a plurality of interconnected garage door panels, a track and a cable. A bracket assembly is attached to one of the panels. The bracket assembly includes a moveable member including a roller which is rotatably received in the track. A fixed member is attached to a panel and includes a portion to which the cable is attached. The moveable member selectively accommodates the fixed member.
Abstract:
A vehicle door, wherein a drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a plurality of pulleys across which wires are laid are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is moved up and down by driving the wires, and the glass plate is prevented from moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed. Wire fixing portions are prevented from being damaged by large upward and downward stroke movements of the glass plate Furthermore, the wires are prevented from slackening when the wires are driven and stopped by providing a supporting rod along a path of upward and downward movement of the glass plate, and a contact member which has no contact with the supporting rod. Trumpet-shaped guide portions are provided at hole edges of the wire fixing portions, and the V-shaped circumferential surfaces of a tensioner eliminates slack in the wires.
