Abstract:
An elevator door mover device (40) includes a threaded ferromagnetic shaft (42). Magnetic movers (48) associated with doors (26) generate magnetic fields that cause the doors to move responsive to rotation of the shaft (42). In one example, a controller (46) controls a speed of a motor (44) that drives the shaft (42). The controller (46) in some examples also selectively controls the strength of the magnetic fields of the movers, which provides more customizable door performance.
Abstract:
Presented herein is a novel sliding door system that that enables adjustment of at least two sliding doors relative to each other such that surfaces of the sliding doors create a substantially flush surface a support onto which the sliding door mechanism is mounted. The system includes at least one inner and outer sliding door slidably coupled to corresponding guide rails. The guide rail that is coupled to the outer sliding door is selectably moveable by a sliding door mechanism between a first and a second position. In the first position, a user can slide outer and inner sliding doors along said guide rails, whereas in the second position, a surface of the outer sliding door is substantially flush with a surface of said inner sliding door.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cupboard-shaped piece of furniture (1) with side walls (2), on each of which a control mechanism (4) for the displacement of a door leaf (7) is arranged, whereby the control mechanisms (4) are connected by means of a synchronisation rod (10) for the synchronised movement thereof. The synchronisation rod (10) comprises a fixing device (12) on at least one end region for the detachable connection of the synchronisation rod (10) to a rotating piece (17) of the control mechanism (4), characterised in that the fixing device (12) is embodied such that the synchronisation rod (10) may also be connected to the rotating piece (17) when the rotating piece (17) is already pre-assembled on a side wall (2) of the piece of furniture (1).
Abstract:
A vehicle door drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a plurality of pulleys across which wires extend are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is supported by a carrier plate which is connected to the wire ends. The glass plate is moved up and down by the wires and is prevented from excessively moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed by a supporting rod positioned along an upward and downward path of the glass plate and a contact member. Trumpet shaped guide portions are formed at the edges of holes of the wire fixing portions of the carrier plate and the circumferential surfaces of a V-shaped tensioner are provided for eliminating slack in the wires.
Abstract:
A power-operated system for actuating the rear doors or liftgates of motor vehicles is disclosed. The system includes an articulating strut mounted between a vehicle frame and the rear door. A motor assembly is operatively coupled between the articulating strut and the vehicle frame for changing the angular orientation and, in turn, mechanical advantage provided by the articulating strut. The articulating strut is moved into angular orientations of greater mechanical advantage in order to effect opening of the rear door and lesser mechanical advantage to effect closing of the rear door.
Abstract:
A door glass raising and falling apparatus has a carrier plate 71 mounted onto a door glass 70. The door glass 70 is movable along sashes 41, 42 disposed on a door. The carrier plate 71 includes securing portions that are fixed to moving portions 67a, 67b of a wire-rope body 67. The carrier plate 71 also has a glass support portion 74 for supporting the door glass 70, and a pair of front and rear glass fixing portions 77, 78 each including a screw member 75. The door glass 70 has mounting holes supported by the glass fixing portions 77, 78, respectively. The dimension of the mounting holes is larger than the outside diameter of the shaft portion of each of the screw members 75 so that the door glass 70 is moveable with respect to the carrier plate 71. Also, a wire-rope body 150 extends over a plurality of pulleys. Some of the pulleys 142, 143 are rotatably mounted on frame members 136, 137 by pulley shafts 182 respectively. stoppers 184 are mounted on the pulley shafts 182, to limit the falling distance of the glass rising and falling body 162.
Abstract:
The door glass raising and falling apparatus comprises a carrier plate 71 to be mounted onto the lower end portion 70b of a door glass 70. The door glass 70 is capable of rising and falling along sashes 41, 42 respectively disposed in the front and rear portions of a door. The carrier plate 71 extends in the back-and-forth direction of the door glass 70 along the lower end of the door glass 70 and includes securing portions respectively formed in the given portions of the carrier plate 71, while the moving portions 67a, 67b of a wire-rope body 67 can be respectively fixed to the securing portions of the carrier plate 71. The carrier plate 71 further comprises a glass support portion 74 for supporting the middle portion of the lower end of the door glass 70 in the back-and-forth direction thereof, and a pair of front and rear glass fixing portions 77, 78 each including a screw member 75. In the door glass 70, there are formed mounting holes which can be supported by the glass fixing portions 77, 78, respectively. The dimension of each of the mounting holes is set sufficiently larger than the outside diameter of the shaft portion of each of the screw members 75 so that, when the screw members 75 are loosened, the door glass 70 can be moved with respect to the carrier plate 71. Also, the door glass raising and falling apparatus further comprises a wire-rope body 150 for raising and falling a glass rising and falling body 162. The wire-rope body 150 is wired over and between a plurality of pulleys. Of these pulleys, pulleys 142, 143, which are situated on the lower side, are rotatably mounted on frame members 136, 137 by pulley shafts 182 respectively. Rubber stoppers 184 are mounted on the pulley shafts 182, respectively. The rubber stoppers 184 are structured such that, when the glass rising and falling body 162 reaches its falling limit, the lower end face of the glass rising and falling body 162 can be contacted with the rubber stoppers 184.
Abstract:
A roll screen cassette for installation in a closure assembly having a frame for moveably retaining a closure member, the frame including a header, sill, and vertical jamb sections, at least one of the sections including a pocket formed within the interior thereof, the pocket having a first predetermined configuration defined by the interior of the section and for receipt of the roll screen, the roll screen comprising a pair of brackets from which the roll screen is pivotally supported, the pair of brackets having a second predetermined configuration compatible with the pocket of the frame section having the first predetermined configuration, the pair of brackets utilized for removeably retaining the roll screen within the pocket in use, the pair of brackets and roll screen being removeably held in position with respect to said frame only by the pocket having the first predetermined configuration and the pair of brackets having a second predetermined configuration compatible with the pocket and being located in the pocket in use, wherein the compatible shapes of the pair of brackets and the pocket when installed in the frame section cooperate to prevent the pair of brackets from rotating with respect to the pocket and the frame when the roll screen is let out or taken in use.
