Abstract:
A case is mounted to one of a motor vehicle and a pivotal door and has therein a gear receiving space. An electric motor is mounted to the case. A speed reduction mechanism is installed in the gear receiving space of the case and driven by the electric motor. An output gear is rotatably received in the gear receiving space of the case and driven by the speed reduction mechanism. An output arm is placed above the case and connected to the output gear through an output shaft that passes through an upper wall portion of the case. A connecting rod has one end pivotally connected to the output arm and the other end pivotally connected to the other of the motor vehicle and the pivotal door. The connecting rod is arranged beside the case in a manner to avoid overlapping thereof with the case in a direction that is perpendicular to a direction in which the connecting rod is moved by the output arm.
Abstract:
A gate opener has a gate that rotates between an open and a closed position in order to allow or retard ingress and egress through the gate. A plate is secured to the ground while a motor is secured to a post of the gate and is rotatably secured to the plate. Activation of the motor causes the post to rotate and thereby swing the gate open. Subsequent activation of the motor causes the post to counterrotate and thereby swing the gate closed. Appropriate limit switches delimit the arc of travel of the gate.
Abstract:
An adjusting system of a motor vehicle for the adjustment of a closing part is disclosed. The system includesa first and second casing extending oblong in a length-wise direction. The second casing has a smaller cross section than the first casing and is arranged within the first casing to be adjustable in a length-wise direction. A spindle for the relative adjustment of a first casing to the second casing is included and arranged within either or both of the first and second casings.The system also includes an electromotor and a transmission connected with either or both of the spindle and second casing. In addition, at least one spring is arranged within either or both of the first and second casings and operates length-wise, such that one of the casings is attached on the side of the motor vehicle body and another of the casings is attached to the closing side.
Abstract:
A door actuating system has a fractional horsepower motor mounted on the door adjacent its free edge, driving a clutch connected to a duplex capstan pulley that is wrapped by two tensioned flexible static lines, for opening/closing movement ‘along the line’. The motor also drives a gear that engages a rack projecting from the door frame, to displace the door relative to its frame. Rotation of the gear is read by a rotary encoder, which feeds a microprocessor, to continuously monitor the location, speed and direction of motion of the door, for both the ‘on’ and the ‘off’ condition of the electric motor. A latching clip over-rides action of the original door latch.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electomagnetic frictionally engaged clutch (1) provided with a rotor part (4) comprising a friction lining (2). An electrical coil (6) and a first permanent magnet (14) are arranged on the rotor part (4). Said clutch also comprises an armature disk (10) which is connected to a second shaft (9) and can be displaced in a rotationally fixed manner, but axially from a coupled end position to an uncoupled end position. The aim of the invention is to enahle the coil (6) of the clutch (1) to be current-free both in the coupled state and in the uncoupled state. To this end, means (15; 20) are provided for exerting an axial force opposing the magnetic force of the first permanent magnet (14) on the armature disk (10). The first permanent magnet (14) and the means (15; 20) are selected in such a way that the resulting force exerted on the armature disk by the permanent magnets and the means presses the armature disk (10) against the friction lining (2) of the rotor part (4) when a current is not passing through the coil (6), when the armature disk (10) is in the coupled end position thereof and when the armature disk (10) presses against an abutment (19) at an axial distance from the friction lining (2) of the rotor part (4) when it is in the uncoupled end position thereof. The electrical coil (6) can be supplied with a coil in such a way that the magnetic field thus produced

The present invention provides an automatic door control system that includes a door, a control module assembly, and a drive train assembly. The control module assembly is coupled to the door. The drive train assembly is coupled to the control module assembly, where the drive train assembly is configured to receive a signal from the control module assembly to easily move the door, where the drive train assembly exerts a force to move the door.
Abstract:
A drive arrangement is provided for motorized pivotal movement of a vehicle door. The drive has a self-locking motor unit, a gear connected downstream of the motor unit for producing linear drive movement, and a clutch connected therebetween. The clutch can be moved into an engaged state in which the motor unit for nominal operation is engaged to the vehicle door. When the motor unit is turned off, manual movement of the vehicle door is blocked. The clutch can be moved into a released state in which the motor unit is separated from the vehicle door in terms of drive engineering. The clutch can be moved into the intermediate engaged state with reduced transmission moment and force so that the vehicle door is kept in its current position at any time by self-locking of the motor unit, but can be moved by manual actuation with a minimum actuation force.
Abstract:
An opening and closing apparatus for an opening and closing body of a vehicle. The opening and closing apparatus includes a reciprocating member connected at its connecting portion to a motor so as to be moved to reciprocate along a plane perpendicular to a hinge shaft, the reciprocating member having a side surface parallel with the plane perpendicular to the hinge shaft. A connecting member is provided having a first end section pivotally attached to an end portion of the reciprocating member, and a second end section fixed to the opening and closing body. A deflection-suppressing device is provided to a stationary body connected to the vehicle body. A part of the side surface of the reciprocating member is slidably contacted with the deflection-suppressing device and is located between the connecting portion of the reciprocating member and the connecting member.
