Abstract:
A power sliding assembly for moving a windowpane within a track within a window frame between an open position and a closed position. The power sliding assembly includes a motor fixedly secured to the window frame. The motor generates a rotational force. The power sliding assembly also includes a lead screw that is operatively connected to the motor to translate the rotational force to axial movement. In addition, the power sliding assembly includes a bracket secured to the lead screw and the windowpane. The bracket travels with the lead screw as the lead screw is driven axially along the track to move the windowpane between the open and closed positions.
Abstract:
Door operator for opening, closing and locking at least one door panel on a transit vehicle. It has at least one base portion for mounting on the vehicle and at least one fixed support member attached to the base portion(s) . It has door hanger(s) for attachment of the door panel(s) and moveable door support member(s) attached to the door hanger(s). The moveable door support member(s) engage the fixed support member(s) to support the door panel(s) while permitting opening and closing motions of the panel(s) . The operator includes at least one door drive having base mounted portion(s) and hanger mounted portion(s), the hanger mounted portion(s) engaging the base mounted portion(s) to be moved thereby to move the panel(s) in opening and closing direction(s). The operator has a lock for securing the door panel(s) in closed position(s), the lock having a lock shaft which includes at least one primary lock means for preventing motion of the base mounted door drive portion(s) and at least one secondary lock means engaging the door hanger(s). The lock includes a lock shaft engaging means which rotates the lock shaft to a locking position when the door panel(s) are closed. The lock also has an unlocking actuator for unlocking the door panel(s), the unlocking actuator having a moveable portion connected to the lock shaft to rotate the lock shaft to the unlocking position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive spindle, in particular to drive garage doors, having recesses or projections disposed on the circumferential surface which can be connected to corresponding projections or recesses of a guide element for the purpose of the axial movement. In accordance with the invention, the drive spindle consists of at least two components which can be detachably connected to one another.
Abstract:
A swivel-sliding door system for a vehicle having at least one door leaf situated in the vehicle wall in the closed state, and situated on the outside in front of the vehicle wall in the open state while leaving a door opening free. A drive as well as transverse and longitudinal guides are provided which enable a movement at the at least one door leaf transverse relative to the vehicle wall and along the vehicle wall, wherein the drive and the transverse and longitudinal guides are combined into one complete operating unit that can be mounted as one whole in the vehicle and be coupled to the at least one door leaf. The operating unit comprises a frame which, in assembled condition, is fixedly connected to the vehicle and an assembly which is movably provided in the frame and which comprises a drive motor for the door leaf movements. The frame may include a girder extending along the door opening and end flanges provided at the ends of the girder, wherein the movable assembly is movable along the end flanges, transversely to the vehicle wall and the girder, for executing a plug movement and wherein the drive motor effects both the plug movement and the longitudinal movement of the at least one door leaf along the vehicle wall.
Abstract:
An improved pulley set comprises a base defining a hollow space, one side of the hollow space forming a vertical wall having a screw hole and the other side of the hollow space forming an inclined wall, a guiding plane parallel to the inclined wall extending from the vertical wall, and positioning slots are respectively formed in the guiding plane and the inclined wall; a seat mounted within the hollow space of the base, tie seat having two inclined planes corresponding to the inclined wall and the guiding plane; and adjusting means disposed in the screw hole of the base for pushing against the seat such that adjusting the adjusting means will cause the seat to move along the inclined wall and the guiding plane of the base.
Abstract:
A sliding door arrangement with at least one door leaf mounted in a door frame includes a drive for moving the at least one door leaf. The at least one door leaf has a lateral closing edge and a running surface at the lateral closing edge. The door frame has a counter-support surface, wherein, in a closed position of the at least one door leaf, the running surface is located essentially immediately below the counter-support surface and the counter-support surface rests on the running surface for preventing lifting of the door leaf.
Abstract:
Constant balance of a varying load, particularly a window shade or blind, is maintained by providing a lifting force, preferably from a spring, through a mediating mechanism including a variable pitch screw arrangement, such that the mechanical advantage of the mediating mechanism changes to allow the continuously decreasing spring force to apply an appropriate lifting force at all times. The variable pitch screw preferably takes the form of a twisted bar.
Abstract:
A corner connector for a door having frames and stiles seating a panel therewithin includes a bracket providing a channel in which is a generally planar body portion and a door mounting member so as to slidably movable on the bracket in a direction generally parallel to the sidewalls of the bracket. The door mounting member has a body portion, an engaging portion extending outwardly of the channel for engagement with a door supporting surface, and a threaded fastener seated in the body portion which has a head bearing on an end wall of the bracket which has an aperture smaller than the head of the fastener. This provides access for a tool to engage the head of the fastener to adjust the spacing between the mounting member and the bracket end wall and thereby the distance which the engaging portion extends from the bracket. The fastener also transfers loads from the door mounting member to the bracket end wall.
