Abstract:
A roof system for a vehicle, comprises a movable roof panel for a roof opening. Stationary guide rails slidably guide an operating mechanism that operates the panel. The operating mechanism comprises a first device for moving the panel rear edge towards a raised position and a second device including a lever for moving the panel front edge in a vertical direction. A guiding slide is driven to move the panel both vertically and horizontally through the first and second devices. The lever comprises a first pivotal connection to the panel, and, remote from that spaced second and third connections. The third connection connects the lever to the guiding slide. A fourth connection on the lever is arranged near the third connection and connects the lever to the guiding slide when the third connection is disconnected from the guiding slide during a movement of the front edge of the panel upwardly.
Abstract:
A movable panel system is provided which has a guide provided with at least one rail, at least one glass panel and a carriage device slidingly supporting the at least one glass panel on the at least one rail. The carriage device has a carriage body engaged to the at least one glass panel, and a wheel group having at least two wheels, configured to slidingly engage the at least one rail, and a support frame, the at least two wheels being hinged, rotationally free, to the support frame. The carriage body and the support frame are mutually engaged by a hinge that allows reciprocal rotation.
Abstract:
A cable drive device of an adjustment system of a motor vehicle has an actuating drive and a cable drive housing in which a cable drum that is rotatably coupled to the actuating drive and has a traction cable wound thereon is received. The cable drum, for receiving a cable nipple fastened to the traction cable, on at least one end side has a nipple chamber having a chamber opening and mutually spaced apart chamber walls. The nipple chamber on at least one of the chamber walls has a delimiting element. The cable nipple when introduced into the nipple chamber by way of the chamber opening engaging below the delimiting element.
Abstract:
The guiding device serves for holding and guiding a sliding door, with which a furniture opening of a piece of furniture can be closed. The guiding device comprises a guide fitting that is connectable to the sliding door and that is connected via a first articulated joint to a first end piece of a guide lever, whose second end piece is connected via a second articulated joint to a guide carriage, which comprises a carriage body that holds at least one guide roller, which is guided in a guide channel that extends at least on one side in a terminal channel section along a curve into the furniture opening.
Abstract:
An extended range sliding door hinge may include a track bracket assembly and an intermediate bracket. The track bracket assembly is sized to be operatively received by a vehicle door track assembly. A first end of the intermediate bracket is movably mounted to the track bracket assembly so that the intermediate bracket may be moved with respect to the track bracket assembly between a retracted position and an extended position. A second end of the intermediate bracket is sized to operatively engage a vehicle sliding door. The extended range sliding door hinge allows the vehicle sliding door to be moved between a standard position when the intermediate bracket is in the retracted position and an extended position when the intermediate bracket is in the extended position.
Abstract:
A safety apparatus for a sliding door of a vehicle, including a lower rail including a mid stopper bracket; and an arm affixed at an external extremity to the sliding door and connected at an internal extremity to the lower rail, the arm including a mid stopper lever that is rotatable. In an open position, the mid stopper lever contacts the mid stopper bracket and contacts a tongue of the internal extremity of the arm to prevent the sliding door from exceeding a mid open position.
Abstract:
A locking device for a vehicle sliding door comprises a rail mounted on the vehicle sliding door; a central support structure coupled to the rail and mounted on the vehicle body and configured to connect the vehicle sliding door to the vehicle body and to allow the vehicle sliding door to pivot and slide; and a hook disposed on the central support structure and configured to lock the central support structure with respect to the rail according to a movement of the vehicle sliding door.
Abstract:
A roto-translating system for opening and closing a wing which is configured to be mounted on a frame of the wing is provided with a first guide and a second guide arranged so as to define an angle greater than or equal to 90°; a first carriage and a second carriage which are configured to be coupled to an upper edge of the wing and to engage in a sliding manner the first guide and the second guide respectively; a spacer arm provided with a first end, which is configured to be fixed to a first structural element of the frame in a rotating manner about a first vertical axis, and a second end which is configured to be coupled to a lower edge of the wing.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of sliding door systems. The invention relates to a wheel carriage8300) for a sliding door resting in sliding track (106), comprising wheel connection means (340) adapted to removably connect a wheel shaft (331) at two connection points (341) positioned on each side of a wheel (330). The invention also relates to a method for exchanging the wheels (330) of a wheel carriage (300), by lowering a door panel and replacing the wheels (330), while the wheel carriage (300) is resting in the sliding track (106).
Abstract:
A tilt-up door for a building having an opening including a door frame with vertical track members, cam surfaces extending laterally from the vertical tracks at the upper portion of the tracks and a door sized to span the opening. The door can be pivotally coupled with rollers disposed within the vertical tracks and cam followers extending laterally from the upper portion of the door to contact the cam surfaces. The cams can include a first steep inclined segment, a second inclined segment and a third segment. When an upwardly directed motive force acts on the door the cam followers come into engagement with the cam surface to lift the door generally vertically and then rotate the door inwardly as the door is raised into an open raised position.
