Abstract:
Movable partition systems include an elongated, fixed drive member extending along a track, a partition that is automatically and manually movable along the track, and a motor carried by the movable partition configured to drive a rotatable drive member that is engagable with the elongated, fixed drive member. The rotatable drive member may be engaged with, and disengaged from, the fixed drive member. Methods of moving a partition along a track include actuating a motor carried by a movable partition to drive rotation of a drive member while the drive member is engaged with an elongated, fixed drive member, and manually moving the partition along the track while the rotatable drive member is disengaged from the fixed drive member. Methods of installing a movable partition system include configuring a rotatable drive member to be capable of engagement with, and disengagement from, an elongated, fixed drive member.

Abstract:
An oven appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A pair of doors is rotatably mounted to provide selective access to the chamber of the cabinet, The pair of doors is connected with a linkage assembly such that the doors rotate open and closed simultaneously. The linkage assembly includes a spur gear that engages another gear of the linkage assembly. The spur gear can hinder unwanted rotation of the pair of doors or compress the pair of doors against a seal.
Abstract:
A coupling device of a shading member, includes a frame and two coupling modules. Each coupling module includes a main member fixed to a top or a bottom of the shading member, two positioning members connected to the main member, and two controlling members connected to the positioning members. The positioning members are received in the main member, each of which has a gear to engage a rack of the frame. The positioning members are movable by moving the controlling members to make the gears engage or disengage the racks. As a result, the shading member is able to be assembled or disassembled in an easy way.
Abstract:
In the case of a hinge having a body hinge part which can be preassembled on a body and a door hinge part which can be preassembled on a door leaf, wherein the hinge parts are connected to each other in an articulated manner, provision is made for the body and door hinge parts to have respective flange parts fastenable onto a surface, and a height- and depth-adjusting device is arranged in the body flange part and has at least one first fastening element which can be used to fix the set height and depth position of the door leaf in relation to the body.
Abstract:
A torsion spring torque assembly for applying torque to a torsion spring of a garage door system. The assembly comprises a separable housing, an adjustable support member, a gear assembly and a cooperating and movable coupling shaft assembly having a driven gear and a hub to engage the winding cone of a garage door torsion spring. The gear assembly has a driver gear which engages the driven gear of the coupling shaft to wind a garage door torsion spring. The driver gear of the gearbox assembly may be operated by means of a screw gun and is constructed to provide bi-directional rotation for winding and unwinding a garage door torsion spring.
Abstract:
An apparatus for closing a locker, which can be lowered, of a baggage compartment, in particular of an overhead baggage compartment in an aircraft, wherein the locker is connected in an actuating element (5) which is held on a frame (1) such that it can rotate or pivot, and is connected to a gas compression spring (18) in order to assist a closing movement of the locker. In order to allow a completely automatic closing movement, the invention proposes that an electromechanical hybrid drive is provided in order to drive the actuating element (5) and, in addition to the mechanical component of the gas compression spring (18), has an electrical drive apparatus (12) as an electrical component.
Abstract:
A driving system for an automatic sliding door includes a driver and a rack and pinion mechanism. The pinion is selectively attachable to the driver in a first position to cause sliding movement of the door in the first direction and in a second position to cause sliding movement of the door in the second direction. A device for indicating whether a driving system is suitable for driving a sliding door includes a first end, a region including one or more calibrations; and a second end. The first end is adapted to be pulled by a user. The second end is adapted to be selectively and detachably attached to one of the calibrations. The region is located between the first end and the second end.
Abstract:
An articulated device comprises a first member that is provided with a first set of teeth fixedly connected thereto. A second adjacent member is provided with a second set of teeth fixedly connected thereto. A coupling section is also provided on which the first set of teeth is hingeably supported around a first hinge axis and on which the second set of teeth is hingeably supported around a second hinge axis wherein the first set of teeth engages with the second set of teeth. A positioning device sets an angular position of the first and second members relative to the coupling section.
Abstract:
A gear unit having a drive element with a first tooth structure, an output element with a second tooth structure, wherein the tooth structures are able to be brought into engagement cogging with each other to form a gearing in at least one engagement area of the second tooth structure. The output element has at least one uncoupling area, in which the cogging engagement of the gearing is uncoupled. The first tooth structure has at least one first modified tooth element and the second tooth structure has at least one second modified tooth element wherein by a movement of the drive element, synchronization of the second modified tooth element with the first modified tooth element is possible in order to create a change from the uncoupled state to the engagement state.
