Abstract: An integrated gas strut actuator assembly particularly adapted for providing power actuation of a motor vehicle lift gate or other opening closure. The assembly integrates the function of a counterbalancing gas spring and that of a electrically powered actuator. The integrated gas strut assembly includes a gas charged cylinder, internal plunger and a threaded rod. Rotation of the threaded rod through a cable drive system causes the internal plunger to be advanced or retracted within the cylinder. Other features of the invention are various embodiments of couplers between the plunger and rod and connectors for connecting the assembly to the vehicle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a type of safety door central release device which can be used to close the safety door automatically when electric power is disrupted. It comprises a cord that is tied to a mechanism having potential energy on one end, and extended to a far distance on the other end; a pair of crank arms of which one end molded as a grip and gripping the cord, and the other end is connected to a sliding bar, having potential energy which assists the grip in release the cord. When electric power is supplied, the sliding bar will be attracted to an electromagnet. As a result, while electric power is disrupted, the release device can immediately release the cord. Due to release of the cord, a brake for a door operator is released by means of the mechanism such that the safety door slides down and then it is closed.

Abstract: An electromechanical strut using an inline motor coupled to an inline planetary gear that are both mounted in the lower housing. The motor-gear assembly drives a worm gear and nut screw in the upper housing, extending or retracting an extensible shaft. Additionally, a power spring mounted coaxially around the worm gear provides a mechanical counterbalance to the weight of a lift gate on the shaft. As the shaft extends, the power spring uncoils, assisting the motor-gear assembly in raising the lift gate. Retracting the shaft recoils the spring, storing potential energy. Thus, a lower torque motor-gear assembly can be used, reducing the diameter of the lower housing. Preferably, the power spring can also drive the power screw to extend the strut even when the motor-gear assembly is not engaged.

Abstract: A locking arrangement for a door system of a transit vehicle includes a combination of a lock mechanism and an electromagnetic brake. The lock mechanism enables positive locking of at least one door but does not require substantial contact between moving and stationary lock elements. The lock mechanism is connected with the manual release means for door opening during an emergency. The electromagnetic brake maintains door seal compression in the closed and locked condition which improves sealing capabilities and provides for reliable lock mechanism operation. Such combination provides locking redundancy and meets various requirements regarding annunciation and manual release operation.

Abstract: A drive for pivoting a flap arranged on a vehicle body about a pivot axis includes a non-self locking electric motor and a drive train connecting the motor to the flap. The motor can be switched between a driving active state and a non-driving inactive state, the motor being moveable in the inactive state at least substantially without any resistance. A braking device blocks the drive train in the inactive state of the drive motor and unblocks the drive train in the active state of the motor.

Abstract: A control apparatus for opening/closing a vehicle door includes a door opening/closing mechanism for operating the vehicle door, a driving source for driving the door opening/closing mechanism, a connecting/disconnecting apparatus interposed between the door opening/closing mechanism and the driving source, and a controlling apparatus for controlling the connecting/disconnecting apparatus. The controlling apparatus for opening/closing the vehicle door includes a door movement-detecting apparatus for detecting a movement of the vehicle door. The controlling apparatus switches the connecting/disconnecting apparatus from a connected state to a disconnected state when the driving source is stopped during in an opening/closing operation of the vehicle door. The controlling apparatus performs a repetition mode, in which the connecting/disconnecting apparatus repeats the connected state and the disconnected state, when the movement of the vehicle door is detected in the disconnected state of the connecting/disconnecting apparatus.
