Abstract:
A power operator assembly is provided for moving a sliding door between a sliding door of a motor vehicle between a closed position and an open position. The power operator assembly includes a guide rail fixedly secured to the motor vehicle and defining a rail length. A slide mechanism slidingly engages the guide rail. A drive is fixedly secured to the guide rail for selectively moving the slide mechanism along the guide rail in either direction. First and second cables each extend between the sliding door and the slide mechanism for moving the sliding door as the slide mechanism is driven along the guide rail. A compound pulley set is operatively connected to the drive and receives the first and second cables for powered movement of the sliding door a multiplied distance greater than the rail length as the slide mechanism is driven along the guide rail.
Abstract:
A foot bolt (10) of a sideways movable sliding door or a similar element (1-3), includes a part locking the element in the base, such as a pin fitting in the hole in the base. The foot bolt also has a counterpart (9) in the next element movable beside it, in which counterpart the part (13) in the edge of the preceding element can be fitted so that the adjacent elements get sideways interlocked. On moving the elements in the opposite direction, pushing of the last brought element away from the preceding element opens the locking of the preceding element from the base. The pin fitting in the hole in the base is intended to be manually pressed, for instance by the foot, into the hole.
Abstract:
A mechanical arm system for opening a door includes an actuator assembly having an output shaft and an arm driven by the output shaft so as to move the door from a closed position toward an open position. The arm is free from contact with the door when the door moves from the open position to the closed position. The actuator assembly is mounted to a support member adjacent the door. The arm extends between the output shaft and the door. The arm may be moveable between a position in which the arm contacts the door in the open position and a retracted position in which the arm is free from contact with the door in the closed position. The arm may be moved to the retracted position before the door reaches the open position so as to abort the opening of the door.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a piece of furniture comprising a body (1) and at least one flap (2) that can be upwardly displaced by means of at least one actuating arm (3) which is joined to the flap in an articulated manner and can preferably be pivoted about a horizontal axis. At least one actuating arm (3) is subjected to the action of a spring device (4), and at least one electric drive (5) acts on at least one actuating arm (3, 3′). A coupling device (40) acts between the electric drive (5) and the actuating arm (3), said coupling device having a free wheel for freely displacing the actuating arm (3) into an open position and/or a closed position, in at least one rotary direction over a defined angular region.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an item of furniture (1) comprising a furniture body (2), a furniture part (3) which is displaceably received in or on the furniture body, and an ejection device (4) having at least one ejection element (5) for displacing the movable furniture part (3) from a closed position (S) into a first open position (O), and at least one lockable drive device (6) for the at least one ejection element (5). The invention is characterized by means for displacing the at least one ejection element (5) beyond the first open position (O).
Abstract:
A device for opening and closing a pivotally mounted door leaf including an actuator, which is displaceably and/or rotatingly arranged in a housing and connected to the door leaf and which, during displacement/rotation, actuates the door leaf, and a drive motor which is connected to the actuator for providing displacement/rotation thereof.
Abstract:
A locking mechanism of a braking device for aluminum doors and window according to the invention includes a sleeve and a locking pillar. The sleeve is a hollow tube-shaped structure, which has an expanded projecting rim at an upper end surface thereof, and a fastening mechanism below the projecting rim. The locking pillar has a fastening section at an outer wall thereof for corresponding with the fastening mechanism of the sleeve to accommodate the locking pillar in the sleeve and to further accommodate the sleeve in a through opening at a supporting window frame of a casement, thereby locating a securing section of the sleeve to the through opening at an upper board of the supporting window frame. Hence, the locking pillar is allowed with sliding movements in the sleeve without being bounced out or disengaged.
Abstract:
A brake assembly for locking a vertical or horizontal slidable sash window or door within a track of a frame is disclosed. The track has an elongated base and a pair of spaced apart, opposed sidewalls extending perpendicular from the base. Each sidewall has an inner shoulder spaced from and parallel to the base. The assembly has a slider body having a central opening extending from a front face of the body to a rear face of the body. The slider body has a side opening in each side of the slider body and being in communication with the central opening. A pair of brake members are provided wherein one brake member is slidably positioned within a respective one of the side openings. A cam has a rear face and a front face, and is adapted to receive a pivot member mounted on either the sash window or door. The cam is positioned in the central opening and is adapted to be rotatable within the opening by the pivot member. The cam, slider body and brake members include cooperative structure for converting rotary motion of the cam into radial movement of the brake members through the side openings and axial movement of the cam and slider body to lock the brake assembly within the track.
Abstract:
An actuating mechanism includes a motor, a tube, a transmission, a shank, a worm, a worm wheel, and a spring; the tube has a steel roll-up curtain connected thereto, and can be turned in one direction for winding the curtain around it, and in the other direction for unwinding the curtain; the transmission is joined to an output shaft of the motor and the tube; the shank is joined to a main body of the motor and the worm wheel; the worm has a toothed side for engaging the worm wheel, and it has a straight side facing in an opposite direction to that of the toothed side; the spring is fixed at one end, and securely joined to the transmission at other end; the roll-up curtain can be manually opened and closed without power supply to the motor after the worm is disengaged from the worm wheel.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a cabinet hinge with an automatic opening device, especially for cabinet doors with a hinge cup, which is connected with a hinge to a hinge arm, which is, being adjustable and lockable, connected to a base plate, which is connected to a cabinet body; whereby, the hinge includes an inner and outer joint lever, which are fastened to the hinge cup, as well as the hinge arm, with each one pivoting joint pin, which causes a kind of parallelogram-joint to be formed between the hinge cup and the hinge arm, by which means the cabinet door relative to the cabinet body can be swung out; whereby, at least one elastic resilient spring element directly affects at least one joint pin of outer and/or inner joint lever and causes a torque for opening of the cabinet door from the closed position through a defined opening-angle area, and; whereby, the resilient spring element is fastened to the hinge cup, whereby, at least one resilient spring element affects through a sliding wedge directly or indirectly at least one join pin of the outer and/or inner joint lever. Specifically, the spring element is contained totally inside the hinge cup and includes at least one one-step piston rod-cylinder unit, which allows a relative movement of the sliding wedge towards the hinge cup and its top part during the opening process of the door by means of a spring and during the closing process by means of the strength of the user. The advantage of the spring element position on or in the hinge cup is that considerably more room is available for a heavy spring and heavy doors can be equipped with the automatic opening device, according to the invention.
