Abstract:
The present invention relates to a shock-absorber for sliding devices, such as sliding doors or windows, panels, gates, drawers, comprising a support body suitable for attaching near an end stop position of the sliding device and, borne by said support body, at least one decelerating device suitable for slowing down the travel of the sliding device near the end stop position and at least one magnet suitable for attracting a corresponding magnetic or ferromagnetic element borne by the sliding device to at least block the sliding device in the end stop position.
Abstract:
Movable partition systems include an elongated, fixed drive member extending along a track, a partition that is automatically and manually movable along the track, and a motor carried by the movable partition configured to drive a rotatable drive member that is engagable with the elongated, fixed drive member. The rotatable drive member may be engaged with, and disengaged from, the fixed drive member. Methods of moving a partition along a track include actuating a motor carried by a movable partition to drive rotation of a drive member while the drive member is engaged with an elongated, fixed drive member, and manually moving the partition along the track while the rotatable drive member is disengaged from the fixed drive member. Methods of installing a movable partition system include configuring a rotatable drive member to be capable of engagement with, and disengagement from, an elongated, fixed drive member.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a window lift arrangement with a lifter (104) for a window pane (106), a door panel (102), positioning means (118, 120) for positioning the lifter (104) relative to the door panel (106) in an installation position for installation of the window pane, wherein the positioning instruments (120) can assume a first and a second position, wherein the positioning instruments (120) in the first position define the installation position and wherein the positioning instruments (120) in the second position release a movement of the lifter (104) for opening and closing the installed window pane (106).
Abstract:
A hinge including a first hinge member including a first magnetic element; and a second hinge member including a second magnetic element, wherein the first and second hinge members are hingedly mounted to each other. The first and second hinge members are substantially maintained in a retained position via magnetic force between the first and second magnetic elements.
Abstract:
A roller door system includes one or more sets of rollers configured to mount to a panel frame member on an upper end of a panel, and move through a complementary upper guide. A lower side of the panel frame can also be guided through one or more bottom tracks. These components, when coupled with the resin panel, can provide the ability to provide a smooth gliding motion for the resin panel door. In addition, the frame in which the panel is mounted can be configured with one or more components to accommodate the unique expansion and contraction properties of resin materials, and thus allow a stable, long term mounting solution. The upper guide and the lower track can also be configured with one or more components or mechanisms for pitch adjustment, as well as to adjust for uneven or irregular mounting surfaces.
Abstract:
All-metal hinge motion check friction device for incorporating into a hinge assembly useful for holding a hinge open at a selected position. The hinge motion check friction device is useful for incorporating into vehicle door hinges, particularly when the vehicle is being painting during manufacturing.
Abstract:
Es wird eine Einlaufbremse für einen Heckdeckel eines Kraftfahrzeugs sowie eine Heckdeckel-Öffnungseinrichtung vorgeschlagen zum Abbremsen der Öffnungsbewegung des Heckdeckels beim Erreichen seiner Öffnungsstellung, wobei ein rohrförmiger Scharnierbügel (3) des Heckdeckels in einer im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Aufnahme (4) durch eine Klemmwirkung abgebremst und am Rückfedern gehindert wird, wobei die Aufnahme (4) mit konischen, seitlichen Bremswangen (5) versehen ist, mit einer kontinuierlichen Konizität in Richtung der Öffnungsbewegung, so dass eine sich verengende Klemmaufnahme gebildet wird.
Abstract:
A system and method for decoupling a barrier from a barrier movement apparatus for the manual operation of the barrier. Advantageously, the decoupling is performed in response to a wireless signal and may be done only when the barrier is determined to be in a safe position.
Abstract:
A glass support structure comprising a carrier plate (14) to be attached to curved glass (11) having its side edge elastically guided by a glass run (22), and cables (16a, 16b) tautly installed side by side with the glass run (22) and locked to the carrier plate (14), wherein the carrier plate (14) is provided with a guide plate (37) which slides in the glass run (22). The guide plate (37) is made of synthetic resin, having the same thickness as the glass (11) and gradually reduced in thickness toward the bottom.
