Abstract: A hydraulic door drive includes a working piston and an auxiliary separated by a spring in a common piston space. A hydraulic circuit connects a first pressure space on a side of working piston facing away from the spring, and a second working space on a side of the auxiliary piston facing away from the spring. A power and control unit controls the pressure generated in the hydraulic circuit by a motor driven pump based on the position of the working piston, as determined by a position transducer.

Abstract: Apparatus for tensioning torsion spring, shaft-mounted in association with a spring cone, has a central ratchet assembly with two spaced, cogged ratchet wheels, slotted to allow the assembly to be rotatably positioned over the shaft. The ratchet assembly is connectable to the spring cone so that the spring cone will rotate with the ratchet assembly. The ratchet wheel slots are closed off by cogged bridging elements that create a continuous cogged perimeter around each ratchet wheel. Pawl-equipped levers are positioned over the ratchet wheels with the pawls engageably aligned with the ratchet wheel cogs, and then operated in alternating fashion to rotate the ratchet assembly and spring cone, thus tensioning the spring. Upon achieving a desired spring tension, the spring cone may be secured to the shaft, whereupon the bridging elements may be retracted from the ratchet wheel slots to permit removal of the apparatus from the shaft.

Abstract: A vehicle window glass lifting mechanism comprises a sliding member for a window glass, a cable for driving the sliding member. The cable is connected to the sliding member and a motor drives the cable. The window glass lifting mechanism comprises a sensor for measuring tension in the cable. The mechanism allows measurement of the mechanical stress in one of its parts. This measurement is represented by the tension exercised on a window glass drive cable, to be measured without delay. Entrapment of an object is determined by detecting an increase in cable tension, detection being rapid and allowing limitation of a force exercised on an object trapped by the window glass. A method for determining entrapment by a window glass is also provided consisting in measuring the tension in a window glass drive cable, comparing the measured tension with an entrapment threshold and determining an object is trapped when the measured tension exceeds this threshold. The device and method can for example be used to stop or reverse the drive of the cable by an electric motor.

Abstract: A method of securing a torsion spring used in a counterbalance system in which the spring torsion cannot be released without first supporting any existing spring torque utilizes a torsion spring assembly including: a torsion rod extending along a longitudinal axis of and within a torsion spring; an anchor member retaining a first end of the torsion spring with the torsion rod being rotatable about the axis relative to the anchor member; and a winding cone retaining a second end of the torsion spring. The winding cone includes a first winding cone coupling member including a frusto-conical surface retaining the second end of the torsion spring; and a second winding cone coupling member and a fastener. The second coupling member defines an area in which the fastener is received for releasably mounting the second coupling member to the torsion rod. The first coupling member is disposed adjacent and abuts the second coupling member for limited rotational movement between first and second rotational positions. The second coupling member includes a blocking portion which engages the first coupling member and prevents rotation of the first coupling member relative to the second coupling member in a first rotational direction when the first coupling member is in the first rotational position. The first coupling member includes a covering portion inhibiting access to the fastener in the first rotational position but permitting access in the second rotational position. The torsion spring urges the first coupling member in the first rotational direction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved arrangement for the operation of an overhead garage door that comprises an adapter utilized for installation and periodic maintenance of the support arrangement. Also disclosed is an adapter for use with existing garage door structures, improved wrenches for use in tensioning coil springs usually found in such arrangements and a method for tensioning such coil springs when they are originally installed or during periodic maintenance of the springs. The adapter comprises a body that may be mounted upon a rotatable shaft that supports the coil springs and be non-rotatabley attached to an end of the coil spring and the rotatable shaft. The attachment to the shaft is a releasable connection and the body has splines or projecting abutment surfaces so that two of the improved wrenches according to the present invention may have their jaws closely surround and engage the splines on the body. For already existing structures the adapter has an end that is designed to attach to the collar already in place and also be attached to the end of the coil spring. The wrenches have releasable latch means that are designed to engage and disengage with the splines on the adapter body. The method according to the present invention comprises engaging and rotating the splines with the wrenches in an alternate manner such that the coil spring is wound to make the tension greater or less as one desires.
