Abstract:
Door operator for a transit vehicle including a primary linkage device for driving the door between open and closed positions and for monitoring door position and a secondary linkage device for monitoring door position. Additionally, a device is provided for locking the door in closed position in association with the secondary linkage device.
Abstract:
A door system for a railway passenger vehicle to enable both high and low platform loading of passengers, including a pair of bi-parting doors to be opened for high-level loading, and a low door immediately below the bi-parting doors to be opened with the bi-parting doors for low level loading, and a stair unit coacting with the low door accessible through a trap door, and means for retracting the low door within the car structure behind the stair unit.

Abstract:
A lift system for a wheelchair or the like on a transit vehicle includes a stationary main frame secured within a doorway recess of the vehicle and a side frame that is movable relative to the main frame. An articulated platform including first and second steps is pivotally secured to the side frame. Scissors linkage is pivotally and slideably connected to the main frame and to the platform such that upon being actuated, the platform may be actuated from a first position defining first and second steps to a second position defining an extended platform. Thereafter the platform may be actuated in a manner such that the scissors linkage crosses over its center point to lower the platform from the floor level of the vehicle to the ground level. Once the wheelchair or the like is mounted on the platform the reverse actuation occurs and the scissors linkage again crosses over its center point to raise the platform from the ground level to the floor level.
