Abstract:
A magnetic coupling assembly incorporating a sleeve having longitudinal and oppositely longitudinal ends; a first hydraulic seal fixedly attached to the sleeve, and being positioned at the sleeve's longitudinal end; a second hydraulic seal fixedly attached to the sleeve, and being positioned at the sleeve's oppositely longitudinal end; a plurality of magnets fixedly attached to the sleeve and positioned between the first and second hydraulic seals; the sleeve including longitudinal and an oppositely longitudinal segments; and incorporating first and second wiper rings, fixedly attached to the sleeve, the first wiper ring being positioned longitudinally from the first hydraulic seal, and the second wiper ring being positioned oppositely longitudinally from the second hydraulic seal; the sleeve forming a lubricant reservoir which is outwardly closed by the sleeve, the lubricant reservoir being longitudinally closed by the first hydraulic seal and oppositely longitudinally closed by the second hydraulic seal.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, and a door rotatably coupled to the main body to open or close the storage compartment. The refrigerator includes a slider provided on the main body, and is configured to movable in a front-rear direction to open or close the door, the slider including a contact part. The refrigerator includes a magnetic force part installed to to the rear surface of the door so that the door is configured to be opened or closed by the slider while the magnetic force part is magnetically attached to the contact part. At least one of the contact part and a part of the magnetic force part is configured to be rotatable so that while the attachment of the magnetic force part and the contact part is maintained.
Abstract:
A movement device for the sliding movement of furniture and wardrobe doors having inner and outer doors which slide along parallel tracks/guides. The movement device includes inner and outer pairs of carriages each having a roller. The carriages are fixed to the inner front of each door. A plate directly attaches each inner carriage to the inner door. A frame with an inverted “U” cross-section attaches each outer carriage to the outer door. Air pistons are fixed proximate the ends of the guides, along which the rollers of the carriages slide for the cushioned stop at the end stroke of moving the carriages when opening and closing the doors. The mounting device includes a support member housing a second piston which is surmounted by an elastic clamp. The clamp selectively interfaces with an aligned wedge extending from a carriage from the other door to prevent abutment between door handles.
Abstract:
A vehicle window regulator includes a slider base supported on a guide rail; a drive wire connected to the slider base; a wire guide supported at one end of the guide rail and having a winding part, onto which the drive wire is wound, at a position offset from the guide rail in a vehicle width direction; and a driver which raises and lowers the slider base via the drive wire. The wire guide is supported by the guide rail by a retainer and a pressing portion, the retainer engaged with the guide rail, and the pressing portion being engaged with the guide rail to press the guide rail toward the other end of the guide rail. The pressing portion is formed at a position toward the other end and formed at a position offset from the retainer toward the winding part.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive device, particularly for doors, garage doors, etc., comprising a guide device, particularly a rail or guide rail, extending in movement direction of the door. The invention is characterised in that the feed means comprises a first insert body which can be plugged at the ends of the guide rail into this and is provided with a connecting cable and which is held at the guide rail end and constructed in such a manner that it fulfils its function not only at one end of the guide rail, but also at the other end of the guide rail.
Abstract:
The invention provides a garage door that can have enhanced preventive safety measures and equipment to accommodate precise and timely maintenance. It is mainly to add into the garage door control mechanism a transceiver that uses electromagnetic waves in the form of laser, infrared, or supersonic wave as distance-measuring and transmission medium, which is directly reflected to the transceiver through a moving roller. In this way, the distance between the moving roller and the garage door can be measured. The roller speed can be pre-determined, so it equals to the garage door speed. Besides, the preset roller speed can be compared to the actual roller speed. This comparison ratio is used as a precise reference to determine whether the closing garage door hits an obstacle or carry out preventive safety maintenance. Thus, accidents can be prevented when the garage door is closing. The invention provides enhanced preventive safety measures and equipment to accommodate precise and timely maintenance.
Abstract:
A DOOR OPERATOR ADAPTED TO MOVE AN UPWARDLY ACTING DOOR ALONG TRACKS BETWEEN OPEN AND CLOSED POSITIONS. THE OPERATOR INCLUDES A CARRIAGE MOUNTED UPON A SUBSTANTIALLY HORIZONTAL RAIL EXTENDING PERPENDICULARLY AWAY FROM THE CLOSED POSITION OF THE DOOR. AN ENDLESS CHAIN IS ARRANGED IN AN ELONGATED LOOP EXTENDING ALONG THE RAIL AND SUPPORTED FOR MOVEMENT RELATIVE THERETO. ONE END OF THE LOOP CAN ROTATE A SHAFT MOUNTED ABOVE THE CLOSED POSITION OF THE DOOR. CABLES ARE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE SHAFT AND THE LOWER EDGE OF THE DOOR. DRIVE MEANS ON THE CARRIAGE ENGAGES THE CHAIN AND CAUSES THE CARRIAGE TO MOVE RELATIVE TO THE CHAIN AND THE RAIL. LINKAGE CONNECTS THE CARRIAGE TO THE DOOR AND COOPERATES WITH THE CABLES FOR OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR.
