Abstract:
A window regulator for moving a window glass up or down so as to open or close a window of an automotive vehicle door having two guide rails substantially vertically disposed and horizontally spaced in parallel with each other and two sliding members secured to the window glass and mounted on the two guide rails, respectively, for sliding movement. One of the two sliding members is vertically spaced above the other of the two sliding members and caused to slidingly move up or down along the guide rail, thereby moving the window glass up or down so as to close or open the window of the automotive vehicle door.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an automobile door and the method of assembly thereof to be mounted in a door frame of an automobile. The invention comprises a gripping assembly on the window releasably interacting with an outer belt reinforcement member to stop and locate a bottom edge of the window. The door assembly further comprises an adjustment module whereby the upper edge of the window may be positioned flush to the outer door frame.
Abstract:
In a guiding device for a vertically adjustable window pane of vehicle doors, two holding parts, which each have an upper and a lower sliding block and are spaced away from one another, are provided at a lower edge of the window pane, these holding parts being in operative connection with U-profiled tracks of guide rails mounted in the door body. So that, for framelessly guided window panes having a pronounced lateral drop with respect to the door body located underneath, a guiding device is provided which, while it has a simple construction, ensures a functionally appropriate holding of the window pane in all positions, two tracks are constructed at each guide rail. The upper sliding block interacts with the first track, and the lower sliding block interacts with the second track. The tracks of one guide rail and the two sliding blocks of each holding piece are arranged at opposite longitudinal sides of a common connecting web of the guide rail extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
Abstract:
In a pane guiding system for an automobile sliding window, a central guide rail, to be fixed to the bodywork, is provided, on flanges of which a support plate, connected both to the window pane and also to the force-transmitting element of a window winder, is slidably guided by slide elements fixed on the support plate. For compensating the movement clearance resulting from wear on the slide tracks, the flanges of the guide rail are of resilient construction, so that they bear virtually without play against the associated guide surfaces of the slide elements even after fairly long periods in operation.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a door framing system for a barn door or the like wherein a plurality of horizontal and vertical frame members are joined together to define a generally rectilinear frame structure. All of the frame members are fabricated from substantially U-shaped channel members of similar cross-section, such that they may be cut from stock material of said U-shaped cross-section. Corner joining brackets are employed which include a pair of transversely disposed base sections, with spaced side flanges extending from each said base section to provide a U-shaped surface configuration which will embrace the outer side faces of the frame members. The brackets including clamping means for coupling the brackets to the respective frame members. There is also disclosed various bracing structures for such a door frame construction, as well as various hardware for effecting hanging of the door, guiding of the door with respect to a building structure and stop means for maintaining the door in the proper closed position.
Abstract:
A sliding door is constructed with a rectangular metal framework of C-frame channel rail sections joined at their corners. A plurality of vertically spaced horizontal reinforcing struts join the frame side rails. The top rail of the door is slidingly hung from a track by hangers including hanger brackets. The bottom frame rail is held in position by a guide track. A thin siding panel and other structure is secured to the front flanges of the framework. Twisting of the top rail, caused by the forwardly offset weight of the front mounted structure including the siding panel, is prevented by braces connected between the top rail rear flange immediately adjacent the hanger brackets and the rear flange of the next lowermost horizontal strut. Wind-caused twisting of the bottom rail and resultant disengagement from its guide track is prevented by braces connected between the rear flanges of the bottom rail and the next uppermost horizontal strut.
Abstract:
The device comprises a guide rail (1) having a cross-section in the general shape of a C and fixed to a wall (M) and defining two guide surfaces (8, 9). One of the guide surfaces (8) has a notch (2) with which cooperates at least one roller (G.sub.1) or other rolling or sliding element carried by the door support means (13). The other guide surface cooperates with at least one roller (G.sub.2) or other rolling or sliding element carried by a pivotal arm (21) connected to the door (P). The or each pivotal arm is disposed completely within the rail (1) and operates under compressive stress.
Abstract:
A sliding door support assembly having a preassembled track assembly including a split cylindrical elongate track having a flat surface on the top and a number of mounting brackets secured to the flat surface at spaced intervals and a number of support members for supporting an elongate track cover, the support members being mounted on said track assembly after the door has been mounted in the track assembly and being selected to correspond to a particular type of track cover.
Abstract:
A security system for controlling access to a room or part of a building through an opening comprises a revolving door turnable only in a single predetermined direction of rotation about a vertical axis situated at the center of a passage defined by a pair of opposite walls each in the form of cylindrical sectors disposed at either side of the opening, and locking means for stopping the revolving door and locking it in a predetermined angular position in such a way as to lock in a person passing through the said passage if, for example, a weapons detector senses that he is armed. The security system is further provided with a curved sliding door angularly displaceable about the axis of rotation of the said revolving door between an open position adjacent one of the two passage-defining walls, and a closed position spanning the said two walls across the opening leading from the said passage into the room or part of the building into which access is controlled by the system.
Abstract:
A window crank assembly includes a guide rail mounted substantially parallel to the direction of motion of a window pane to be raised and lowered by the crank assembly; a sled mounted on the guide rail for back-and-forth travel thereon; a drive cable attached to the sled for moving the sled on the guide rail; a plug-and-socket joint for supporting a lower end of the guide rail for a pivotal motion about a lower foot point in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the window pane; and a support for engaging the guide rail at a location thereof spaced from the lower end. The support defines a pivotal axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the window pane. The support holds the guide rail displaceably about the pivotal axis and shiftably parallel thereto prior to establishing connection of the guide rail with the plug-and-socket joint.
