Abstract:
An exemplary apparatus includes a modular, self-contained spring cage and a spindle. The spring cage includes a housing and a clock spring mounted in the housing, and the clock spring includes a first leg and a second leg. The spindle extends through the spring cage, and is rotatable from a home position about a longitudinal axis in each of a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction. Rotation of the spindle from the home position in the first rotational direction causes pivoting of the first leg while the second leg remains stationary, thereby causing the clock spring to urge the spindle to return to the home position. Rotation of the spindle from the home position in the second rotational direction causes pivoting of the second leg while the first leg remains stationary, thereby causing the clock spring to urge the spindle to return to the home position.
Abstract:
A sliding door structure in which a position where a door side end-section of a vehicle body rail support member is coupled to a door main body being further to a door closing direction side than a center-of-gravity position of a door, and a position of a door side end-section of a door rail support member in a fully open state being further to a door closing direction side than the center-of-gravity position of the door and further to a door opening direction side than a position where the door side end-section of the vehicle body rail support member is coupled to the door main body, and that further includes: an inclination suppressing wall provided at a vehicle body and configured so as to be abutted, from a vehicle lower side, by a reaction force generating section at least in the fully open state.
Abstract:
A curtain integrated door regulator structure includes a motor, a drive gear, a drum retainer, a glass driving drum, a curtain driving drum, gear keys and key grooves. The motor generates a rotational driving force to rotate a driving shaft. The drive gear has a shaft receiving hole into which a driving shaft of the motor is fitted. The drum retainer has a spiral groove shaft supporting part spirally coupled to a spiral protrusion disposed on an outer circumference of the drive gear. The glass driving drum and the curtain driving drum are rotatably received in the drum retainer and disposed at an outer side of the drive gear. The gear keys are disposed on the outer circumference of the drive gear. The key grooves are formed in the glass driving drum and the curtain driving drum, respectively, and have a shape corresponding to that of the gear keys.
Abstract:
A motor-driven wall element of a dividing wall is secured and sealed in an end position by at least one motor-driven closure profile. The voltage applied to the wall element for moving the element is switched in an end position of the element by a switching apparatus in such a way that the at least one closure profile is moved out after the end position is reached and is moved in before the end position is exited.
Abstract:
A power drive moves a movable closure (D) between an open position and a closed position with respect to a portal defining a passage through a barrier. The power drive can include an elongated drive member (34) connected to the movable closure and a ball nut drive assembly (64) for selectively moving the drive member longitudinally. The elongated drive member (34) can be a compound drive member having at least one gear or tooth-like member extending helically around in uniformly spaced turns about a core of the drive member to form a rigid or resilient screw-like portion (88) capable of being driven by operable engagement with the recirculating ball nut drive assembly (64). A flexible portion, such as a push/pull cable (90) can be attached to one end of the screw-like member to allow the power drive to move a movable closure along a curved or other non-linear path.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carriage which includes a drive device and a separation device and in which separation elements can be moved more conveniently. SOLUTION: This carriage 1 provided for the separation device includes a carriage body 102 with at least one moving wheel 21 movable on a rail 5 and serves to hold the separation elements 6 and the drive device 10 with an electric motor 11 and a transmission device 12. The drive device 10 is connected to a first drive element 13 to transmit a force to the rail 5 for driving the carriage 1. The drive device 10 is connected to at least one second drive element 14 to drive the rotatably held separation elements 6. Using the carriage 1, the separation elements 6 connected separately or to each other in a joined manner can be conveniently moved and/or rotated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A device for moving at least one door leaf, includes a fixed beam that is fixed to the frame, a moving beam that is connected to the fixed beam by swinging rails which allow it to move transversely with respect to the axes of elongation of the fixed and moving beams, a motor which drives the leaf in a movement parallel to the axis of elongation of the moving beam and which, during the swinging of the leaf, also drives a drive cam which is provided with a slot in which there is engaged a pin that is fixed to the fixed beam, and a central roller which is connected to the moving beam and circulates in a groove in the fixed beam during the movement of the leaf.
Abstract:
A high-pressure mine door assembly for use in mine shafts, the door assembly configured with opposing wings, which enable the door assembly to open and close quickly. The assembly includes a major hub and a minor hub positioned at or above the cap of the door assembly and coupled together via a connecting bar. A drive mechanism is coupled to the cap and the connecting bar, which facilitates the opening and closing of the wings of the door assembly. The door assembly is configured in a 12-6 pitch orientation, requiring only a ⅔ rotation of the wings to fully open the door assembly to. Such a configuration also negates the effect of air pressure on operation of the door assembly, regardless of the direction of the airflow, with the airflow assisting one wing in opening and the other in closing.
