Abstract: The invention relates to a damping device for parts of furniture which are joined together by means of hinges and which can be pivoted in relation to each other. The housing contains a damping fluid in the cavity thereof and a resistance element which can be displaced relative to the damping fluid and connected to an actuating element protruding from the housing. During at least one part of the pivoting movement of both pieces of furniture, said actuating element is drivingly connected to the second piece of furniture and transfers the movement distributed to the second piece of furniture to the resistance element. The damping device is arranged in the region of at least one of the hinges which pivotally couples both pieces of furniture, and whereby either the damping housing and/or the actuating element engages with one of the stop element of the corresponding hinges, at least during the damping process.

Abstract: The invention concerns a braking and damping device for movable massesnullin particular, for movable cabinet components, with a casing, a first adjustable braking element that is located partially in the casing and is coupled with the movable cabinet component and a second adjustable braking element that is located in the casing; whereby, the braking elements form operating surfaces that are inter-related, so that a shifting of the braking elements relative to one another produce a braking force. The invention shows that the braking elements that are coupled together by a transferring element that provides and removes force in such a manner that in a first movement phase, the braking elements implement a synchronous movement with which the relative velocity between the operating surfaces is smaller or less than the speed of the first braking element that is coupled with the cabinet component. In the second movement phase the braking elements implement opposite movement with which the relative velocity between the operating surfaces is greater than the speed of the first, with the braking element coupled with the cabinet component and in the third movement phase, the first two movement phases are opposite movement phases, the second braking element essentially stands still. The relative velocity between the operating surfaces corresponds essentially to the speed of the first braking element (7) coupled to the cabinet component.

Abstract: An electronic position sensor for use with a power operated vehicle accessory, such as a power liftgate. The position sensor includes an elongated resistive circuit that is mounted such that it is stationary and extends along the path of a track portion of the power operated accessory. The position sensor further includes a contact nub mounted to a link member that moves within the track portion such that the contact nub is slidingly biased against the elongated circuit. As the link member moves under the force of a motor-driven output gear, the contact nub slides along the surface of the resistive circuit, thereby affecting the overall resistance of the circuit. The position sensor uses the overall resistance to provide an electronic position signal to an ECU, wherein the signal is indicative of the absolute position of the power operated accessory. Accordingly, the electronic position sensor of the present invention is capable of providing an electronic signal that enables an ECU to track the absolute position of the power liftgate or any other power operated accessory.

Abstract: Apparatus for opening and closing a deck lid of a vehicle body. An elongated rack is mounted in a housing for longitudinal movement. A rotatable pinion meshes with the rack to move the rack longitudinally in one direction or the other depending on the direction of rotation of the pinion. A reversible motor rotates the pinion in opposite directions. The deck lid is attached to a pair of arms pivoted to the vehicle body. A link has one end pivoted to the rack and the opposite end pivoted to one of the arms. The deck lid is moved to open position in response to longitudinal movement of the rack in one direction or to closed position in response to longitudinal movement of the rack in the other direction.

Abstract: A drive assembly for a toothed rack and channel track type of power liftgate attaches the liftgate lift rod to the toothed rack indirectly, through a shoe-yoke assembly that transfers axial loads, but isolates the rack from non axial reactive loads transferred through the lift rod. A rigid yoke fits closely within axially spaced ends of a notch in the rack, but has a clearance elsewhere from the outside of the rack. The outside of the yoke is closely surrounded by a shoe, which provides a close fitting, slidable bearing layer with the inside of the channel track, maintaining the yoke to rack clearance. The maintenance of the yoke-rack clearance prevents the transmission of undesired reactive loads back to the rack through the yoke.
