Abstract:
A pulley cradle arrangement for a screen doors, in particular, having a pulley cradle receptacle (23) that is inserted from above into a hollow frame section (1) and is clamped there. The pulley cradle receptacle (23) holds the pulley cradle support (25), inside of which the pulley cradle (27) and its running rollers (28) can be shifted vertically by a knurled screw (89). All parts can be pushed together without the use of tools and snap together by means of elastic holders. The pulley cradle (27) can be removed from the pulley cradle support (25) by pushing on its front surface and thus the sliding door can be removed from the guide rails.
Abstract:
A opening and closing device 10 for sunroofs of an automobile, which has a pair of rails 17a and 17b, a lid 13 for opening and closing an opening 12, right and left cables 26 engaged to a lid 14 and arranged along the rails 17a and 17b, and a drive mechanism 36 for driving the cables in a reciprocating manner. The cables 26 construct a closed loop arrangement with bypassing the opening 12 of the loof of the automobile. One of the cable 26 coming out of the drive mechanism 36 is arranged to the right-side rails 17b, bridged to the left side lail 17b, reversed at the base end of the left side lail 17a and returned along the same route to the drive mechanism 36.
Abstract:
A power door for a transit vehicle includes a door panel, a base and hanger unit, a door support, a drive member and a motor. The door support is attached to the door panel and includes at least one roller which engages a hanger portion of the base and hanger unit for motion along the base and hanger unit. The hanger portion includes a longitudinal cavity and a slot communicating with the cavity. The drive member is disposed within the cavity and a drive member connector passes through the slot to connect the drive member to the door support.
Abstract:
Apparatus for adjusting a frameless window pane moved by a cable window lifter in an automobile. The apparatus includes a first guide rail which has an unlocked and a locked state, and a second guide rail. The first guide rail is freely movable to a limited degree in the unlocked state and fixed in the locked state. A window pane is connected between the first guide rail and the second guide rail such that movement of the second guide rail causes the first guide rail to move when in its unlocked state. A bolt is provided for moving the second guide rail and for locking the first guide rail.
Abstract:
A window adjustment apparatus is provided for use with an automotive vehicle type of window assembly of the type having an elongate guide channel defining a longitudinal axis and which mounts a window for reciprocal motion relative to a vehicle body panel such as a vehicle door, and a pivot arrangement which mounts the guide channel for pivotal movement generally about one end thereof and within the vehicle body panel in which the guide channel is located. The window adjustment apparatus includes a housing and an adjustment member having a channel-coupling portion or coupling thereof to the guide channel at a location thereon generally remotely located from the end about which the guide channel is mounted for pivotal motion. A driven member is mounted to the adjustment member and a drive member is rotatably mounted to the housing, and is of complementary form with the driven member for engaging the same for causing bidirectional movement of the adjustment member relative to the housing to achieve this bidirectional movement of the guide-channel in response to bidirectional rotation of the drive member. An engageable member is accessible for engagement and bidirectional rotation from exteriorly of the body panel, such that bidirectional rotation of the engageable member achieves a predetermined and corresponding amount of bidirectional, pivotal motion of the guide channel.
Abstract:
The track for the panel of a sliding door or window confines a locating device with two resilient leaves which have first end portions secured to the bottom part of the track and second end portions normally extending upwardly into the path of movement of the rim of a wheel at the underside of the panel. The second end portions of the leaves are disposed between the first end portions and define a gap wherein the lowermost portion of the rim comes to rest after the rim has been caused to roll over one of the leaves and to be arrested by the upwardly extending second end portion of the other leaf. If the panel is to be shifted to a different position, it is pushed with a force which suffices to enable the rim of the wheel to depress the second end portion of one of the leaves whereupon the rim rolls over the one leaf toward a different position. A foot can be clamped to the track to positively prevent the panel from moving beyond a selected position.
Abstract:
A door window regulator for vertically moving a door window glass of a vehicle includes sliders secured to the door window glass. The sliders are respectively guided by a pair of guide members. The sliders are further respectively connected to portions of a wire which are respectively stretched along the guide members. The wire has a portion thereof wound on a driving unit. The wire is covered with wire tubes respectively disposed between the driving unit and each of the guide members and between the guide members. The wire tubes interconnect the various members, thereby making the regulator convenient for conveyance.
Abstract:
Two parallel rails for the guidance of rollers or sliders on opposite edges of a panel, door or similar structural component comprise each a pair of elongated, substantially parallel members nestedly interfitted with a longitudinal internal clearance left therebetween to allow a change of their transverse separation and/or a limited relative tilting thereof. For this purpose the two members are joined to each other, at longitudinally spaced locations, by a plurality of adjustable connectors each comprising a male threaded element or bolt and a female threaded element or nut, each of these elements being anchored to a respective member. One member serves as a base, to be fixedly secured to a support, and the connector elements anchored thereto are nonrotatably held therein; the other member, forming a track, has a guide channel with an apertured bottom giving access to slotted or otherwise indented faces of the coacting connector elements to enable their rotation by a suitable tool such as a screwdriver.
Abstract:
A device adapted to return a door to its closing position after it has been opened. The device comprises a cam adapted to be fixed on the door and a casing adapted to be fixed on the frame of the door, the casing comprises a spring exerting a force on a roller which is held in contact with the curve of the cam and means adapted to control the force of the roller on the cam, the cam and the casing being provided with means to adjustably mount them on the door and the frame.
Abstract:
This symmetrical corner connector is particularly useful for sliding door hardware and fastens on without screws or other connectors. Such a door has a panel having a G-shaped stile along each side and a U-shaped rail at the top and bottom, all of which engage the edges of the panel to form the structure of the door. The connector has a central channel for receiving a door suspension member and, on each side thereof, has a wing for engaging the back wall of the stile. An ear on each side of the connector near one end fits over the end of the stile to engage the interior thereof. A tang on each side near the opposite end of the connector fits through a slot in the stile and engages it in opposition to both the ear and wing. In addition, the tang has a spring clip for engaging the interior of the stile for preventing withdrawal of the tang. A hook extends over the top of the rail and through a slot to engage the front face of the panel.
