Abstract:
A sensor assembly and method for detecting the position of an openable pane in a sliding vehicle door includes a window regular mechanism having a main lift arm supporting the pane and a drive mechanism for moving the pane in downward and upward directions. The main lift arm includes a sector gear plate at one end thereof. The sector gear plate is drivingly rotated by the drive mechanism. A slot is defined in the sector gear plate and the guide of a sensor mechanism is received in the slot. The guide is moved along the slot as the sector gear plate is rotated such that the guide is moved into a first portion of the slot when the sector gear plate is driven in a first rotatable direction to move the window pane toward its closed position and moved into a second portion of the slot when the sector gear plate is driven in a second, opposite rotatable direction to move the window pane toward its open position.
Abstract:
A retracting device for a drawer, including a pulling device which can be connected to the drawer, a drive unit having an electric motor, and a roller drivable by the drive unit for winding up the pulling device, wherein the drive unit is activatable by a rotation of the roller.
Abstract:
An operation mechanism attaches a movable member to a main body to be rotatable between a first position and a second position. The movable member is held in the first position by a locking device. The operation mechanism includes a base attached to the main body, a contact portion attached to the movable member, and a coil spring having one end fixed to the base, and the other end attached to the contact portion for urging the movable member in the first position toward the second position. A transfer track for the contact portion is formed at the base. By the transfer track, after the movable member in the first position is moved to a predetermined position by a force accumulated on the spring, when the movable member is pushed to the second position, the spring stores a force from the predetermined position to the second position.
Abstract:
A flap drive system for a flap mounted in a movable manner on the body of a piece of furniture has a mechanical actuating unit with an actuating arm that can be linked to the flap and with an energy accumulator that can apply a force to the actuating arm. The flap drive system also has an electric drive secured to the actuating unit for driving the flap. The electric drive has at least one electric motor and is designed as a self-contained component, such that the electric drive can be secured to the actuating unit even when the actuating unit is already mounted on the body of the piece of furniture.
Abstract:
A retracting device for a drawer, comprising a pulling device which can be connected to the drawer, a drive unit having an electric motor, and a roller drivable by the drive unit for winding up the pulling device, wherein the drive unit is activatable by a rotation of the roller.
Abstract:
Drive mechanism for a furniture part, in particular a drawer or door, which is mounted moveably in or on an item of furniture, having a drive apparatus which is guided moveably with respect to a base and is loaded by a force accumulator, having a dampening apparatus and a pulling-in apparatus, wherein the drive apparatus has a pushing-out element for moving the furniture part from a closed end position into an open position and a locking element which is guided by a preferably heart-shaped guide track which is formed on the base, and wherein the damping apparatus, the force accumulator which loads the drive apparatus and the pulling-in apparatus are connected in series.
Abstract:
A pivotable, sliding door is provided that includes a door leaf and a first roller lever disposed adjacent to a lateral closing edge of the door leaf. The first roller lever defines first and second ends. A guide rail is disposed on the door leaf. A roller is disposed on the first end of the first roller lever and in the guide rail. A locking element is disposed on the second end of the first roller lever. A retaining element, affixable to a door frame, is disposed adjacent to the second end of the first roller lever, the retaining element defining a stop and a predetermined, curved track. The first roller lever is displaceable along the predetermined, curved track to the stop. In the stop position, the first roller lever is pivotable into a locked position where the locking element engages the retaining element.
Abstract:
A locking device for a swinging/sliding door for vehicles. The swinging/sliding door includes a door leaf having a guide rail along a bottom horizontal edge in a floor region. The swinging/sliding door is configured to be actuated by a door drive.
Abstract:
A spindle drive for a movable component includes a threaded spindle which is rotatable about a spindle axis; a spindle nut which engages the threaded spindle; and a transmission element which can be connected to the movable component, the transmission element being fixed against rotation about the spindle axis and being axially drivable by rotation of the spindle nut. An intermediate element, which is fixed against rotation relative to the spindle nut, extends axially with respect to the threaded spindle and is rotatable relative to the threaded spindle. A drive is connected to rotate one of the intermediate element and the threaded spindle; and the other of the intermediate element and the threaded spindle can be fixed against rotation.
Abstract:
To provide a movable body driving device which has simple structure and is capable of moving a movable body in a certain direction and automatic drawer equipment. A movable body driving device is provided which comprises a roller 12 as a rotary member which is rotatably supported on an inner frame 11 as a supporting member and a motor 13 for rotating the roller 12. The roller 12 is brought in contact with the movable body, which is adapted to be movable in a certain direction, with predetermined force using elastic force of coil springs 21, 22, 23 as elastic members. The movable body is moved by frictional force between the movable body and the roller 12. Automatic drawer equipment employing the movable body driving device as its drawer driving mechanism is also provided.
