Abstract:
The invention is an an anchor for attaching an automated window mechanism to a sliding panel of a window. The sliding panel has a border with an outer face generally perpendicular to the window. The anchor includes a base configured to be secured to the outer face. The base and mechanism mount has a first tongue-and-groove component protruding from the base away from the outer face. The anchor also includes a mechanism mount configured to be secured to the automated window mechanism, the mechanism mount having a second tongue-and-groove component protruding therefrom. The first tongue-and-groove component and the second tongue-and-groove components are shaped and aligned to permit the mechanism mount to slide relative to the base in a direction generally perpendicular to the window, and to thereafter hold the mechanism in proper alignment relative to the sliding panel of the window.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a door descent preventing apparatus, and more particularly a door descent preventing apparatus mounted to a shaft installed at an inlet or an outlet of a chamber in a vertical direction in order to prevent descent of a door configured to be moved upwards and downwards along the shaft, the door descent preventing apparatus including a plurality of support bars, an upper fixing unit configured to connect upper ends of the support bars to each other, the upper fixing unit including a first upper fixing piece having a semicircular arc shape and a second upper fixing piece having a semicircular arc shape, and a lower fixing unit configured to connect lower ends of the support bars to each other, the lower fixing unit including a first lower fixing piece having a semicircular arc shape and a second lower fixing piece having a semicircular arc shape.
Abstract:
A heavy duty full energy, encoder driven non-handed electric door operator for industrial and commercial use a motor and an encoder configured to receive an external set of predetermined instructions. A motor mounting bracket connects the motor to a multi-layer housing. A controller is in electronic communications with the encoder and transmits external sets of predetermined instructions. Internally, the door operator contains a plurality of transfer shaft assemblies in communication with each other and connected with the motor at one end and an output shaft at the other end. The output shaft terminates at each end in a nondetachable spline. A detachable mounting plate serves as a base. The door operator operates heavy swing doors external to a building where the swing doors are required to be open or remain open in strong wind conditions.
Abstract:
A hinge for cold rooms or glass shutters, coupling a stationary support structure and a shutter movable between an open position and a shutter position, includes a hinge body having a working chamber; a pivot defining a first longitudinal axis coupled to the hinge body to rotate around the first axis between the open and the closed shutter position; a cam element integral with the pivot; a plunger element sliding in the working chamber along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis, the plunger element having a slider with an operative face interacting with the cam element; and an elastic counteracting member acting upon the plunger element to move it along the second axis between a position proximal to the bottom wall of the working chamber and a position distal therefrom. The hinge body has a substantially plate shape.
Abstract:
A door closer, comprising a door closer housing mounted to one of a door frame or a door surface and a linkage arm for pivoting the door between open and closed positions. The linkage arm has a first and second end, the first end mounted to the other of the door frame or the door surface. The door closer includes a rotatable connector between the linkage arm and the door closer housing, the linkage arm second end engaging with the rotatable connector. The connector has a rotatable body portion and head protrusion substantially secured in a female receptor to transmit rotation about a longitudinal axis of the connector. One or both of the head protrusion or female receptor has a curved profile and is further movable with respect to the head protrusion to permit limited rotational misalignment of the linkage arm on any axis perpendicular to the connector longitudinal axis.
Abstract:
A driving apparatus for a vehicle includes a rotation member, as support pin including a flange for stopping a movement of the rotation member in one axial direction and a circumferential groove formed at an end portion that penetrates through the rotation member, an annular elastic member supported relative to the circumferential groove and configured to reduce a diameter in a radial direction, and a support member including an attachment hole in which the end portion of the support pin is idly provided, the support member including an inwardly protruding flange provided at the attaching hole and having an inner diameter equal to or greater than an outer diameter of the annular elastic member when the annular elastic member is in an elastically deformed state having reduced diameter and smaller than the outer diameter of the annular elastic member when the annular elastic member is in an elastic recovery state.
Abstract:
In an aspect, a lifter plate is provided that is capable of a relatively strong connection to a vehicle window. The lifter plate includes a lifter plate body including a first side wall and a second side wall configured to receive a vehicle window there between, a window holding member positionable in a locking position to prevent the withdrawal of the vehicle window from between the first and second side walls, and a locking member positioned to prevent the movement of the window holding member out of the locking position in the event of a force urging the withdrawal of the vehicle window from between first and second side walls.
Abstract:
The present invention essentially comprises a spring engagement system of an overhead door backup spring system operable upon failure of a main spring, and method of using the spring engagement system. The spring engagement system has a spring engagement unit operably associated with a spring, and an engagement unit operably associated with the spring engagement unit. The engagement unit is engageable with the spring engagement unit in an engaged position upon activation thereof. The engagement unit can transfer torque from the spring to a shaft in the engaged position. The engagement unit is actuating by engagement of an activation unit, which is actuated upon failure of the main spring associated with an overhead door.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for detecting the position of an automated door, and a method of installation thereof, wherein the device comprises a connector (4, 20) adapted to couple the device to a door drive shaft (28, 32) moving an automated door such as a sectional overhead door, an encoder means (5) coupled to the connector (4, 20) and generating a position signal based on the movement of the door drive shaft (28, 32), which position signal is indicative of the door position, communication means connected to the encoder means (5) for transferring the position signal to a controlling device (34), and mounting means (2, 3) for mounting the device.
Abstract:
A window regulator is obtained which can securely prevent a pulley body(s) from coming off a plastic panel when being delivered (when being carried), before the window regulator is installed onto a vehicle door.A fit-in recessed portion 20a, into which a pulley assembly 30a is fitted, is formed on a plastic panel 10. Retaining projections 22 and 23 that extend from the peripheral edge of the fit-in recessed portion 20a toward a central part thereof and overlap the pulley body 31 of the pulley assembly 30a, which is fitted into the fit-in recessed portion 20a, in a plan view to prevent the pulley body 31 from coming out of the fit-in recessed portion 20a are formed on the plastic panel 10.
