    Abstract: A window regulator system has a first rail and a second rail. The second rail is spaced in a parallel relation with the first rail. A first slider assembly slidably engages the first rail and a second slider assembly slidably engages the second rail. A first cable engages the first slider and has opposite ends thereof wound about a first drum assembly. The first cable is guidedly mounted on the first rail. A second cable engages the second slider and has opposite ends thereof wound about a second drum assembly. The second cable is guidedly mounted on the second rail. A drive system simultaneously rotates the first and second drum assemblies. Rotating the first and second drum assemblies effects parallel movement of the first and second sliders. When a window is mounted on the sliders, the window regulator system effects opening and closing thereof.

    Abstract: A cable drive assembly in a closed-loop cable closure system for opening and closing a sliding door on a vehicle includes helical front and rear cable grooves supported on the vehicle frame for rotation about a helix axis. A front cable extends from the front cable groove to the sliding door in a position to be wound into and unwound from the front cable groove in response to front cable groove rotation about the helix axis. A rear cable extends from the rear cable groove to the sliding door in a position to be wound into and unwound from the rear cable groove in response to rear cable groove rotation about the helix axis. A single cable drive spool is supported on the vehicle frame for rotation about the helix axis and includes both the front and the rear cable grooves. A motor rotates the spool in one direction about the helix axis to open the sliding door and in an opposite direction about the helix axis to close the sliding door.

    Abstract: An internal entrapment system for a garage door operator (30), comprising a motor (48) for transferring a garage door (12) between first and second positions; a pulse counter (62) for detecting a speed of the garage door (12) during transfer between first and second positions; a potentiometer (56) for determining a plurality of positional locations of the garage door (12) during transfer between first and second positions separate from said pulse counter (62); and a control circuit (50) for calculating a motor torque value from the speed for each of said plurality of positional locations to compare with a plurality of door profile data points, wherein said control circuit (50) takes corrective action if the difference between the motor torque value for each of said plurality of positional locations and said plurality of door profile data points exceeds a predetermined threshold, and wherein said control circuit (50) updates said plurality of door profile data points to the motor torque values for each respective said plurality of positional locations if the predetermined threshold is not exceeded. In another embodiment both speed and position are detected by a slider element (58) which is connected to the control circuit (50). A closed loop lift cable system (100) may be employed for use with the internal entrapment system. The system (100) utilizes a lift cable (164) connected between a bottom section of the door and a drum mechanism (150) and an upper cable connected between a top section of the door and the drum mechanism (150). A tension device (180, 200) ensures that the door and cables act as one and thus allow closed loop control of the door.

    Abstract: A window regulator for driving two sliding window panes, such as of a truck rear window, in opposing directions has a housing containing two linear actuator, one driving each of the sliding panes. The first actuator has opposite ends engaged with a drive drum and a midpoint engaged with the first sliding pane, and the second linear actuator has opposite ends engaged with the drive drum and a midpoint engaged with the second sliding panes. The drive drum has two parallel, spiral grooves, one receiving each of the linear actuators. The first and second linear actuators pass around pulleys and guide blocks attached to the housing and follow separate paths within the housing such that rotation of the drive drum in one direction pulls on respective first ends of the first and second linear actuators to draw the sliding panes toward one another, and rotation of the drum in the opposite direction pulls on respective second ends of the linear actuators to draw the panes away from one another. The regulator housing is adapted to be attached to the fixed panes of the window assembly outboard of the sliding panes or to some other stationary structure of the vehicle surrounding the window opening.

    Abstract: In a system for automatically opening or closing a sliding door or the like for a vehicle, an undesired clamping of an object between the door and the vehicle body, resulting in increased tension force in the wire moving the door, is sent early and relieved quickly. The wire (4) is solidly secured to the sliding door and wound onto a drum (10) to open or close the door by a motor driving the drum, and two tensioners (11a and 11b) are provided respectively on opposite sides of the drum and between the drum and door. Each sensor has a movable part (19) positioned in accordance with the tension force in the wire passing through the tensioner, sensor plates (20) are provided on the movable parts of the tensioners, and magnetic sensors (21) are provided to detect the moving speeds of the plates. When the moving speeds of the plates are larger than a predetermined value, preset in advance, in cases other than when the door is at a fully closed or fully opened condition, a controller concludes that some object has been clamped between the door and the vehicle body and immediately relieves such clamping.
