Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle roof having a cover for forming a deployable for the roof, and an inner cover panel which is coupled to the cover. The assembly also has a cover frame configured for coupling the cover to a roof bodywork of the motor vehicle. The assembly also has a cover receiving unit configured for receiving the cover and coupling it to the cover frame; and a tilt mechanism which is coupled firstly to the inner cover panel and secondly to the cover frame, and which is configured for moving the cover between a first retracted position and a second deployed position. The assembly moreover has an electric drive unit coupled directly to the tilt mechanism so that the cover can be electrically moved between the first and second position by the tilt mechanism and the drive unit without the use of the drive cable.

Abstract: A vertical door latch assembly includes a housing and a bolt movably attached to the housing having a catch portion. A drive motor is located within the housing and is configured to selectively move a lock assembly between a locked position preventing movement of the bolt and an unlocked position allowing movement of the bolt. A battery assembly is removable from the housing when the lock assembly is in first position and fixed to the housing when the lock assembly is in a second position. A controller is in electrical communication with the drive motor and is configured to direct the actuator lock assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.

Abstract: A control unit for establishing a functional connection between two gearing components comprises at least one control element, which can be moved in order to switch the control unit between different switching states, wherein the at least one control element is configured to provide a retaining force between the gearing components in a first switching state, and to allow movement of the gearing components in relation to one another in a second switching state. An actuator is used to move the at least one control element. A control mechanism controls the actuator. It is provided thereby that the control mechanism is configured to activate the actuator to switch the control unit from the first switching state to the second switching state, in order to move the at least one control element to reduce the retaining force (FH) based on a predetermined delay function (VF).

Abstract: A powered garage door opener is provided for mounting to a garage wall adjacent to the garage door in a side-mounted configuration. The powered garage door opener includes a power unit containing an electric motor, a reduction gearset driven by the electric motor, and a tubular output member driven by the reduction gearset. The output member defines a pass-thru aperture configured to drivingly couple to a coupler unit that is pre-assembled onto the garage door shaft. The power unit is non-handed so as to permit installation at either or both ends of the shaft, as well as in a paired side-by-side relationship along one end.

Abstract: Dual pivoting laterally translating hinges that attach between a stationary first substrate such as a vehicle body, and a rotating second substrate such as a vehicle door, and extend laterally when the second substrate is rotated. In some examples, the hinges include a knuckle and leadscrew mechanism that changes the hinge geometry when the second substrate is rotated, causing the leadscrew to rotate by either a set of gears or a rack and pinion. In some further examples, the hinges include a jackscrew that changes length as the second substrate is rotated, causing the hinge to extent laterally.
