Abstract:
The invention concerns a window lift arrangement with a lifter for a window pane, an door panel, positioning means for positioning the lifter relative to the door panel in an installation position for installation of the window pane, wherein the positioning instruments can assume a first and a second position, wherein the positioning instruments in the first position define the installation position and wherein the positioning instruments in the second position release a movement of the lifter for opening and closing the installed window pane.
Abstract:
A window lift system, especially for the side window of a motor vehicle, includes (i) a pulling device and (ii) a catch for a window pane, which can be moved up and down using the pulling device. The catch has a first fastening point for an upward pulling end of the pulling device and a second fastening point for a downward pulling end of the pulling device, which point is horizontally off-set from the first fastening point in the window pane plane when the window pane is fitted. The window lift system also includes (iii) an arrangement positioning and fixating the catch in terms of at least three degrees of freedom so that the catch can be maintained in a position that is defined in terms of the degrees of freedom even when the window pane is not yet fitted.
Abstract:
An integrated hinge system that provides for temporary checking of a vehicle door is provided, the system including a hinge pin, a door hinge bracket, a pillar hinge bracket, and a latching device. The latching device is releasably affixed to the door hinge bracket and rotates with the door hinge bracket relative to the hinge pin and the pillar bracket. One of the hinge pin and the pillar bracket define engagement points that the latching device engages to releasably retain the door hinge bracket in any one of at least two angular orientations relative to the pillar hinge bracket.
Abstract:
A hinge for furniture comprises a first part to be fastened to a first furniture element and a second part to be fastened to a second furniture element, said first and second hinge parts being rotatably in engagement with each other, a shock absorber being present which comprises a body fastened to the first hinge part and a shock absorbing member movably mounted on said body, the shock absorbing member being adapted to restrain movement of the second hinge part in a closing step of the hinge. Said shock absorbing member and second hinge part having portions magnetically attracting each other to carry out dragging along of the shock absorbing member relative to the body during a reopening step of the hinge, bringing said member back to position for subsequent cushioning of the closing movement of the hinge.
Abstract:
A carriage (1) which serves to hold a panel (4), in particular a glass panel, comprises at least one running element (12) such as a magnet (1200), a wheel (12) and/or a sliding element (120) which is held by at least one corresponding magnetic element (1201) or supported on a running surface (3111) of an at least approximately U-profile or L-profile-shaped rail (3). The rail comprises a central part (32) and one or two lateral parts (31a, 31b), possibly with a foot element (311), on the upper side of which the running surface (3111) is provided. The carriage (3111) comprises one or two carriage parts (1a, 1b; 1c) which can be anchored to the panel (4) by mounting elements (2; 114, 1140; 93, 111), such that the two carriage parts (1a and 1b) can be anchored on the opposing sides (4a, 4b) of the panel (4) in each case by the mounting elements (2; 114, 1140; 93, 111). A one carriage part (1c) is further contemplated, which can be introduced into a groove (45) arranged on the upper side of the panel (4) between the sides (4a, 4b) and anchored there by the mounting elements (2; 114a, 114b, 1140; 93, 111). Further provided is a carriage (1) and a mounting device (2) which can be coupled to the carriage (1) and to the glass panel (4), with two assembly parts (21a; 21b) which are each formed or mounted on one side (4a or 4b) on the upper side of the panel (4) or within a groove (44) of the panel (4).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mechanism for a sliding-type glass pane, of those formed by a top guide profile, placed against the wall and provided with a rib on which a rolling element moves; a bottom guide; a suspension device and top retaining stops, in which the suspension device has a larger outer plate and two smaller inner plates, which define a space between them in which the rolling element is housed and in which the top retaining stops are provided with respective horizontal flats so as to retain the cylinders.
Abstract:
A partition panel assembly includes a stationary panel member having an exposed surface including a longitudinally-extending, downwardly-exposed channel, and a door member slidably supported from the stationary panel member for movement between a closed position and an open position. The partition panel assembly also includes a door member support assembly comprising a roller assembly operably coupled to the door member, and a support member having an upwardly-extending arm received within the channel of the stationary panel member, a downwardly-extending arm abutting the exposed surface of the stationary panel member, and a track member supporting the roller of the roller assembly such that the door member is slidably supported from the stationary panel member. The partition panel assembly further includes a decelerator assembly including a spring member secured to the track member and adapted to frictionally engage the door member when the door member is proximate the open or closed position, thereby decreasing a velocity of the door member prior to the door member reaching a fully opened or closed position.
Abstract:
Hinge motion check friction device for incorporating into a hinge assembly useful for holding a hinge open at an selected position. The hinge motion check friction device is useful for incorporating into vehicle door hinges, particularly when the vehicle is being painting during manufacturing.
Abstract:
A catch brake for a trunk lid of a motor vehicle is proposed, as well as a trunk lid opening system for slowing the opening movement of the trunk lid upon reaching its open position, a tubular hinge bail (3) of the trunk lid being braked in a substantially U-shaped receiver (4) by a clamping action and prevented from rebounding, the receiver (4) being provided with tapering lateral brake cheeks (5) with a continuous taper in the direction of the opening movement, so that a narrowing clamping receiver is formed.
Abstract:
A system for decoupling a barrier from a barrier movement apparatus for the manual operation of the barrier. Advantageously, the decoupling is performed in response to a wireless signal and may be done only when the barrier is determined to be in a safe position.
