Abstract:
A window regulator prevents a compressing force from acting on a plastic panel to achieve a reduction, in thickness (miniaturization) of the plastic panel.Between the casing 32 of each of the pair of pulley assemblies 30b and 30c and the associated fit-in recessed portion 20b or 20c, a movement limit portion which limits movement of the casing 32 relative to the plastic panel 10 toward the far side of the associated fit-in recessed portion 20b or 20c from the motor assembly 17 is formed only on the far side of the associated fit-in recessed portion 20b or 20c from the motor assembly 17, which corresponds to the wire winding area of the pulley body (guide member body) 31, out of the near side and the far side of the associated fit-in recessed portion 20b or 20c with respect to the motor assembly 17.
Abstract:
In an aspect, a lifter plate is provided that is capable of a relatively strong connection to a vehicle window. The lifter plate includes a lifter plate body including a first side wall and a second side wall configured to receive a vehicle window there between, a window holding member positionable in a locking position to prevent the withdrawal of the vehicle window from between the first and second side walls, and a locking member positioned to prevent the movement of the window holding member out of the locking position in the event of a force urging the withdrawal of the vehicle window from between first and second side walls.
Abstract:
A window lift assembly for a motor vehicle, with a component on which a bearing site is provided for a redirecting element, in particular for a cable pulley or a deflecting piece, is provided. The redirecting element is arranged beside the component at the bearing site along a connecting axis pointing from the redirecting element to the component and the redirecting element redirects a driving force for adjusting a window pane of the motor vehicle. The redirecting element is mounted on the component along the connecting axis and the connecting axis forms a physical axis for mounting the redirecting element. The bearing site supports the redirecting element on an outer surface rimming the redirecting element at least in a direction vertical to the connecting axis, and for supporting the redirecting element the bearing site includes at least one portion protruding from the component.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method of operating a movable barrier operator includes engaging a flexible driven member with a drive of the movable barrier operator. The method includes moving the flexible driven member in a first direction to move a movable barrier connected to the driven member and monitoring the position of the movable barrier. In response to the movable barrier reaching a given position, the driven member is moved in a second direction without moving the movable barrier to remove slack from the driven member. A movable barrier apparatus includes a movable barrier controller operatively coupled to a movable barrier operator. The movable barrier controller is configured to cause the movable barrier operator to reverse direction of a flexible driven member a distance after stopping movement of a movable barrier toward a limit position and without moving the movable barrier.
Abstract:
A driving apparatus for a vehicle includes a rotation member, as support pin including a flange for stopping a movement of the rotation member in one axial direction and a circumferential groove formed at an end portion that penetrates through the rotation member, an annular elastic member supported relative to the circumferential groove and configured to reduce a diameter in a radial direction, and a support member including an attachment hole in which the end portion of the support pin is idly provided, the support member including an inwardly protruding flange provided at the attaching hole and having an inner diameter equal to or greater than an outer diameter of the annular elastic member when the annular elastic member is in an elastically deformed state having reduced diameter and smaller than the outer diameter of the annular elastic member when the annular elastic member is in an elastic recovery state.

Abstract:
An apparatus for closing a locker, which can be lowered, of a baggage compartment, in particular of an overhead baggage compartment in an aircraft, wherein the locker is connected in an actuating element (5) which is held on a frame (1) such that it can rotate or pivot, and is connected to a gas compression spring (18) in order to assist a closing movement of the locker. In order to allow a completely automatic closing movement, the invention proposes that an electromechanical hybrid drive is provided in order to drive the actuating element (5) and, in addition to the mechanical component of the gas compression spring (18), has an electrical drive apparatus (12) as an electrical component.
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:
The invention relates to a supporting element which takes the form of an angle bar. Suitable means are used to provide the bar with a cable guide sheave and the supporting element and the sheave, together with the aforementioned means, are mounted on a guide section of the type used in window regulators. Preferably, a supporting element and a sheave are provided close to each of the ends of the above-mentioned section.
