Abstract:
A door closing mechanism which includes a hydraulic rotation damper, having a closed cylinder cavity within a cylinder barrel, a rotational damper shaft which extends into the cylinder cavity, a piston dividing the cylinder cavity into a first side above the piston and a second side below the piston, a one-way valve allowing fluid flow from said first side to said second side of the cylinder cavity, and a fluid passage between said first and second sides of the cylinder cavity, with a flow restrictor, in particular in the form of a needle valve, adjustable through an orifice in the cylinder barrel, wherein said second side of the cylinder cavity and said orifice are at opposite sides of the flow restrictor.
Abstract:
An automatic opening-closing device, especially for a cover or seat of a toilet, has a motor having a motor shaft, a speed reducer connected to the motor shaft, a planetary gearbox driven by the speed reducer, an output axle for driving the cover between an open position and a closed position. A protection device limits the torque between the output axle and an output shaft of the planetary gearbox.
Abstract:
An electric opening/closing device for vehicle, which has good layout characteristic of the vehicle and is provided with a highly-rigid attachment part, is provided. The vehicle electric opening/closing device comprises: a worm wheel meshed with a worm provided on a motor shaft of an electric motor; a planetary gear mechanism disposed coaxially with the worm wheel and decelerating rotation of the worm wheel to transmits it to an output gear; a gear case housing the worm wheel etc. and assembled to the electric motor; and a swing arm rotatably supported by the gear case between an output end linked to a back door and an input end linked to an output gear. An attachment plate for mounting the vehicle electric opening/closing device on the vehicle is sandwiched between the first case body and the second case body which constitute the gear case.
Abstract:
An articulated hinge allowing non-circular motion of a refrigerator door and having a means for transmitting utilities through the hinge is disclosed. A support rod for preventing torsional deformation of a refrigerator door adapted to carry utilities to an in-door dispenser is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The carriage provided for a separation device comprises a carriage body serving to hold a separation element, which carriage body comprises at least one running wheel, which can be moved on a rail, and a drive device made up of an electric motor and a gearing, which drive device is coupled to a first drive element, by means of which a force can be transferred to the rail and the carriage can be driven. According to the invention the drive device is coupled to at least one second drive element, by means of which the separation element held so as to be rotatable can be driven. Using the inventive carriage, separation elements which are separate or connected to each other in a jointed way can be advantageously displaced and/or rotated.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system for high torque operation of a movable barrier utilizing a compact hub motor device, which may be directly coupled to a movable barrier without the use of additional gearing systems. The flat geometry provides high dynamic acceleration with short electrical and mechanical time constants, and its planetary gearing system implemented within the device allows for compact, more efficient access systems. Eliminating a gear system in accordance with the present invention lowers maintenance requirements, increases efficiency, and streamlines operation of movable barriers.
Abstract:
An electromechanical strut is provided for moving a pivotal lift gate between an open position and a closed position relative to a motor vehicle body. The electromechanical strut includes a housing connected to one of the lift gate and the motor vehicle body. An extensible shaft is slidably mounted to the housing. The extensible shaft is connected to the other of the lift gate and the motor vehicle body. A drive mechanism includes a rotatable power screw. The drive mechanism converts rotary motion of the power screw into linear motion of the extensible shaft to move the extensible shaft between a retracted position corresponding to the closed position of the lift gate and an extended position corresponding to the open position of the lift gate. A power spring includes one end connected to the extensible shaft and another end connected to the housing for providing a mechanical counterbalance to the weight of the lift gate.
Abstract:
A powered trunk closure assembly for a vehicle includes a linkage assembly attached at one end to a body bracket and at another end to a closure member bracket. A motor is linked with a gear train for actuating the linkage assembly. The motor and gear train are positioned exterior of the trunk.
