Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an opening leaf upper module intended to be mounted at the periphery of a glass panel of a vehicle, and to an opening leaf upper module of this type particularly comprising a rigid frame and a flexible weather strip.The method of manufacturing an opening leaf upper module (1) according to the invention, comprising a molded frame (3) based on at least one thermoplastic polymer and a molded weather strip (4) secured to the frame and based on at least one elastomer, comprises a step whereby a moving-platen mold or alternatively transfer molding is used to perform multiple-shot injection molding of materials that are intended to form the frame and the strip which are injected in succession, the elastomer being a thermoplastic elastomer compatible with this thermoplastic polymer, so as to obtain the module formed as a single piece.For preference, the strip comprises a continuous wiping lip (8) for wiping the glass panel and an interface lip (9) for interfacing with the bodywork (10) of the vehicle, and the frame has a longitudinal hollow (3b).

Abstract:
Hatch system (1) for a motor craft, in particular for an automobile vehicle, for example, the hatch (1) being mounted articulated about a substantially horizontal fixed main rotation axis (A) supported by the chassis of the motor craft, and being movable about the main rotation axis (A) manually or automatically by drive means (5) between a closed position and an open position, characterized in that, during a phase of movement of the hatch (1), the drive means (5) driving rotation of the hatch (1) about the main rotation axis (A) actuate means (7) for maneuvering the hatch (1) in rotation in the opposite direction about a secondary rotation axis (B), the combination of these two movements in rotation causing the hatch (1) to move in a substantially vertical plane without necessarily causing lateral movement of the hatch during this phase of movement of the hatch (1).
Abstract:
An elevator car wall imaging system (20) is provided. The elevator car wall imaging system (20) includes an interior region of an elevator car, the interior region defined by a floor, a ceiling and a plurality of interior side walls. The elevator car wall imaging system (20) also includes an image generator (22) operatively connected to a network, the image generator (22) configured to generate an image on at least one a portion of at least one of the plurality of interior side walls, the image representing a weather condition currently present in an exterior environment surrounding a structure within which the elevator car is disposed.
Abstract:
A landing floor door (36) for an elevator system (10) includes a door body (48) and a door pocket (50) located at the door body (48). A display panel (56) is located at the door pocket (50) and includes a panel having a front surface (72) and a back surface (70), the back surface (70) offset from the front surface (72) by a panel thickness (66). One or more transparent portions are formed in the panel, and at least one light source (60) associated with each transparent portion of the one or more transparent portions is located at a panel edge (62) of the panel. The at least one light source (60) is configured and oriented to emit a light into the panel in a direction transverse to the panel thickness (66). When the at least one light source (60) is activated, light is transmitted through the associate transparent portion, thus displaying a selected image or light pattern (76).
