Abstract:
A window regulator includes a carrier plate to support a window glass of a vehicle, a guide rail along an ascending/descending direction of the window glass to slidably support the carrier plate, a wire to pull the carrier plate, a driving portion arranged at one end of the guide rail in the ascending/descending direction to drive the wire, and a turnaround portion arranged at an other end of the guide rail in the ascending/descending direction to turn the wire around. The wire arranged between the turnaround portion and the carrier plate is positioned shifted from the guide rail. The wire arranged between the driving portion and the turnaround portion is positioned on the guide rail to push and contact the guide rail.
Abstract:
A belt tensioning system (170) for tensioning a belt (171) of a belt drive system (970) for transferring torque from a drive unit (112) of a door operating system (100) to a sliding door leaf (101) of a sliding door assembly (200), the belt tensioning system comprising a belt wheel (176) connectable to the belt (171) for torque transfer between said belt wheel (176) and an additional belt wheel (175) of the belt drive system (970); a belt wheel guiding arrangement (330), the belt wheel (176) being movably connected to said belt wheel guiding arrangement (330); and a belt tensioning arrangement (470) operatively connecting the belt wheel (176) and the belt wheel guiding arrangement (330) for adjusting the position of the belt wheel (176) relative the belt wheel guiding arrangement (330).
Abstract:
The assembly includes a pulley, a plastic rail and a bolt for fixing the pulley to the plastic rail in an axial direction but allowing the pulley to rotate around the bolt. The bolt includes a threaded shaft, a shank, a shoulder, an annular groove, and a head. The assembly further includes a metal sheet with a central hole, such that when inserting the metal sheet through the threaded shaft, which has been previously introduced in a through hole of the plastic rail, the metal sheet contacts partially with a shoulder support base and partially with the plastic rail, such that when the metal sheet is axially compressed against the support base, the hole diameter of the metal sheet becomes smaller than that of the threaded shaft and gets in the annular groove.
Abstract:
A door opening and closing apparatus includes a rail module including: a rail member extending along a front-and-rear direction; a drive device mounted on the rail member; and a supporting member coupled to a closing cable a part of which is wound around the rotating drum and that is hung on a closing inversion member and an opening cable a part of which is wound around the rotating drum and that is hung on an opening inversion member. The rail module is provided with the drive device fastened to an outside of a vehicle body such that a part of the drive device goes inside the vehicle body through an opening provided on the vehicle body. An outer diameter of the rotating drum of the drive device is made smaller than a maximum diameter of a deceleration mechanism for making the rotating drum rotate forward and backward.
Abstract:
The vehicle door module according to the present invention is provided with: a base attached to an opening of an inner panel; a window glass raising/lowering device attached to the base, the window glass raising/lowering device provided with a window glass cable for pulling a window glass, a window glass drum for winding the window glass cable, a window glass raising/lowering motor for rotating the window glass drum, and at least one pulley for guiding the window glass cable; and a support for supporting the pulley, the support being provided to the base and supported by an edge part of the opening of the inner panel.
Abstract:
A sliding window assembly including a window frame and at least three panes disposed within the window frame in offset vertical planes. The panes are arranged for sliding movement together upwardly within the window frame or together downwardly within the window frame. One or more of the panes can be fixed. The panes have a fully open position and a fully closed position. In the closed position, respective edges of the panes overlap while in the open position, the entire panes overlap. The panes can be connected to a counterweight arrangement by a pulley arrangement, which includes a vertically movable balancing weight that is equal to the weight of the panes, or the panes can be connected together to counterbalance each other.
Abstract:
A gate opener for simultaneously operating a pair of opposed sliding gates. The gate opener includes a pair of identical pulley assemblies one each affixed to the ground adjacent to a either gate and oriented a hundred eighty degrees to each other. A first cable is affixed to a lateral edge of a first gate, passes through a series of pulleys and is affixed to a medial edge of a second gate. A second cable is affixed to a lateral edge of a second gate, passes through a series of pulleys and is affixed to a medial edge of the first gate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a motor unit including: an electric motor; a motor housing (6) configured to accommodate the electric motor; and a control substrate (70) including a sensor element (72S) to detect a position of an inner rotor of the electric motor in a rotational direction. The motor housing (6) includes a substrate accommodating portion (80) configured to accommodate at least a portion of the control substrate (70); a positioning portion (81) that is formed in the substrate accommodating portion (80), and positions the control substrate (70); and a screw configured to fix a stator of the electric motor to the positioning portion (81).
