Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a power regulated window having a window glass to be closed intentionally when some foreign body is pinched by the window glass for security reasons. When a close signal is output to a semiconductor switching element from window regulator switches, the window glass is closed. When some foreign body such as arm or fingers is pinched by the window glass, a load current of a motor becomes abnormal and the motor rotates reversely to open the window glass in order not to damage the foreign body. Besides this protective function, when the foreign body is pinched by the window glass and a prohibit signal to invalidate the reverse rotation is output, a reversing controller is stopped and the window glass is closed continuously by a bypass switching element.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided in which a motor 11 with reduction gears, a clutch 12 and a gas stay are provided between a vehicle body 2 and a tailgate 1 so that a fully opened position of the tailgate can be held by virtue of a thrust of the gas stay only, and in this apparatus, when a closure of the tailgate from its own weight is detected after the motor with reduction gears is disconnected, the motor with reduction gears is connected to the tailgate to drive to forcibly close it after the tailgate is driven to be opened to the fully opened position thereof. By this construction, when the holding force of the opened position is short, since the tailgate is closed after it is opened to the fully opened position once, cargo loading and unloading work can be completed while the tailgate is so closed.
Abstract:
A dual rack and pinion system for a window lift mechanism includes window brackets for simple mounting to a window. The system includes a modular frame design to improve assembly of the window lift mechanism into the door of a vehicle. An assembly method is provided for the dual rack and pinion system. The system is also provided with a smart motor and incorporates resilient shock absorbers in the dual rack and pinion gear train to allow more time for the smart motor to detect and react to an obstruction in the window.
Abstract:
A clutch mechanism of the power device includes a movable gear member which is rotated integrally with a wheel and engaged with a stationary gear member when moved in a first direction and disengaged from the stationary gear member when moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction, an armature for pushing out the movable gear member in the first direction when rotated relatively to the movable gear member, and an electromagnetic coil for applying brake resistance to the armature by attracting the armature by the magnetic force to restrict a co-rotating state of the armature and the movable gear member. The armature has a clutch holding surface for maintaining a clutch-engaged state where the movable gear member and the stationary gear member is engaged with other even when the electromagnetic coil is turned off in the clutch-engaged state.
Abstract:
A locking arrangement for a door system of a transit vehicle includes a combination of a lock mechanism and an electromagnetic brake. The lock mechanism enables positive locking of at least one door but does not require substantial contact between moving and stationary lock elements. The lock mechanism is connected with the manual release means for door opening during an emergency. The electromagnetic brake maintains door seal compression in the closed and locked condition which improves sealing capabilities and provides for reliable lock mechanism operation. Such combination provides locking redundancy and meets various requirements regarding annunciation and manual release operation.
Abstract:
An operator for use in connection with a door system including an axle having an operator framework supporting an operator motor, the operator framework defining a clearance adapted to insertably receive the axle therein, a gear assembly defining a bore in which the axle is received and including a removable gear segment adapted to selectively medially open the bore to receive the axle, wherein the motor is interconnected with the gear assembly to cause rotation thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for opening of doors. Electromechanical systems contain many expensive components and are thereby expensive to manufacture. Installed electromechanical systems are expensive in operation by virtue of the high and energy-demanding friction which always are present in mechanical constructions. The present operating device is less energy-demanding by the formed transmission of power via two piston-like parts (5 and 6). A driving device (2) is arranged to drive the piston-like part (5) and the second piston-like part (6) is connected to an operable element.
Abstract:
An electric curtain device of the present invention includes a pair of running members and a pair of chargers arranged at opposed ends of a curtain rail. The running members are movable along the curtain rail and support a pair of curtains, respectively, in a suspended state. Each of the running members includes a supersonic motor and is moved along the curtain rail when actuated by a supersonic motor. Further, each running member has a battery and a driver. The electric curtain device is relatively easy to handle. Further, the appearance of the device is improved without requiring machining of the curtain rail.
Abstract:
An actuator for driving an operating mechanism that operates an operated member of a vehicle by means of a driving of an electric drive source includes a housing for supporting the electric drive source, a detecting means for detecting an operation status of the operated member or the operating mechanism, a switch connector including an output terminal provided as an electric path from the detecting means, and a power feeding connector formed on the housing and including an input terminal provided as an electric path to the electric drive source and a first engaging portion onto which the switch connector is fit.
Abstract:
A side sliding door apparatus for an electric railcar includes two sliding doors movably supported by a horizontal door rail to open and close an entrance of the electric railcar. The side sliding door apparatus includes an actuator for actuating the sliding door, a locking mechanism for locking the sliding door in a closed state, and an unlocking mechanism for unlocking the sliding door locked by the locking mechanism. The actuator, the locking mechanism, and the unlocking mechanism are provided in each of the two sliding doors. The right and left actuators operate independently from each other, and thus, even if the actuator for one sliding door breaks down, the other sliding door still can be used.
