Abstract:
An attachment structure of a slide rail cover for covering a slide rail fixed to a side of a vehicle body from the outside to the vehicle body, has a main body cover including a slide rail attachment portion and a vehicle body attachment portion, the slide rail attachment portion being adapted to support the main body cover with rigidity, and the vehicle body attachment portion being adapted to regulate the position of the main body cover in vertical and lateral directions. The position of at least one of the vehicle body attachment portion and the slide rail attachment portion is regulated in a forward or rearward direction of the main body cover.
Abstract:
The linear actuator has a motor housing (1) of tubular stainless steel with an end cap (2), a motor (4) and epicyclic gearbox (6). The actuator has a telescopic arm (11), having an outer tube (12) and an inner tube (13) of stainless steel. The outer tube is removably attached to the motor housing. An extension screw (16) is provided in the arm with a driven end (16) journalled at the motor housing end (17) of the outer tube. At its inner end, the inner tube has threaded into it a plastics material nut (18), in which the screw engages. The end of the screw (16) has a clevis (23), open (24) axially away from the screw. The output shaft (7) from the gear box has a cross pin (31) through it. On each side of the shaft, the pin carries a respective roller (32), sized to fit in the clevis (23). The clevis and rollers form a dog clutch for transfer of drive from the gearbox to the extension screw. The telescopic arm is readily dismounted from the motor housing by unscrewing the disc (21) and axially withdrawing the clevis from the rollers.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for operating a security gate, is disclosed which may comprise a driving member connected to the security gate and adapted to move the security gate from a first position to a second position, responsive to operation of the driving mechanism; a position detection device associated with the operating mechanism and adapted to determine a first distance of the driving mechanism from a first reference point and a second distance of the driving mechanism from a second reference point, and to determine the position of the security gate based upon the relation between the first distance and the second distance. The apparatus and method may have the first reference point being the position of the position detector and the second reference point being at a preselected distance from the position detector. The apparatus and method, further, may have the position detector be an ultrasound, radio frequency or light wave, or the like, transmitter/receiver, and the first distance may be is measured by reflecting waves from a moving target moving as does the driving member and the second distance is measured by reflecting waves from a fixed target fixed in relationship to the transmitter/receiver.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a door drive system for a wing of a door, a window or similar, comprising a housing with a drive and/or return device, e.g. a closing spring (7), and a preferably hydraulic damping device. In practice, drive housings of this type are cast in aluminium. The production costs are relatively high since housing openings and boreholes such as hydraulic channels have to be cut into the housing (31) later on. According to the invention, the housing (31) is produced wholly or partly from plastic. This enables the cavities which are necessary for the housing to function, such as housing boreholes and/or openings to be made in the drive housing when it is produced, without removing material by cutting. According to another design, the drive housing has several housing parts which are produced separately. The adjacent sections of the housing parts are then stuck or welded together. Housing boreholes such as hydraulic channels can be made in the adjacent surfaces of the housing parts which are shaped accordingly, without removing material by cutting.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a system for assembling two components of a device activating a window regulator on a fixed support. According to the invention, one of the components is secured to the other component by a securing means and at least one of the components is secured to the fixed support by another securing means.
Abstract:
A sliding window track cover that is adjustable to fit different window track widths and also acts as a window locking mechanism. The window track cover is comprised of a male and female subassembly fastened together. The female subassembly has a pair of spaced, parallel, longitudinally extending flange plate members, a longitudinally extending leg member attached to said flange plates along one longitudinal edge thereof, and a longitudinally extending shoulder member. The male subassembly has a longitudinally extending tongue plate, a longitudinally extending leg member attached to the tongue plate adjacent one longitudinal edge thereof, but inboard a distance sufficient to form a shoulder. The tongue plate of the male subassembly is inserted into the slot formed between the flange plates of the female subassembly a distance sufficient to cause the male and female leg members to be spaced apart a distance that is substantially the same as the distance between the side walls of a window track. Mating corrugations in one of the flange plate members and in the tongue plate member lock the two subassemblies into the selected configuration.
Abstract:
A fastening of end caps to housings that are made of profiles and are used for door-specific devices on automatically operated doors. The end caps are thereby invisibly clipped or clipped in a concealed manner onto installation elements that have previously been connected with the sections, whereby at least one of the installation elements is simultaneously used as a fastening for the housing.
Abstract:
A door and doorway construction includes a doorway structure having a lock jamb, a hinge jamb, and a header defining a doorway opening. An adjustable door is constructed to fit mateably into the doorway opening. The doorway structure includes an overhead expressway construction configured to structurally support a weight of the door and further adapted to carry utilities over the doorway opening. The doorway structure is vertically adjustable to align the expressway construction with adjacent wall units, which results in size changes in the doorway opening, and the door is adjustable to define an adjustable vertical height shaped to fill the doorway opening despite the size changes. In one form the door is pivoted to the doorway structure with hinges located above and below the door and at a centerline of the door. In another form, the door is slidably mounted to the doorway structure by a door-supporting boom that includes a trolley rollingly supported by the doorway structure and a downrigger that is rigidly supported on the trolley. The downrigger pivotally supports the door, and the trolley includes a breakaway latch such that the door can be broken away and pivoted outwardly if the door is pressed on with sufficient force. Additional illustrated door embodiments include a solid wood door and a floor-to-ceiling door that incorporate the above features.
Abstract:
An operator for opening and closing pivotal windows comprises at least two pull and pressure transferring, flexible linkage mechanisms (3,4) connected at one end to a fixture (5,6) on a frame member and at the opposite end in engagement with a driving device (12-17) mounted on the opposite main frame member (2). The driving device is common to the linkage mechanisms and is together with the parts of the linkage mechanisms engaging it mounted in a common housing (7) for receiving the entire length of the linkage mechanisms (3,4) and provided with guides (8,9) and lead-in openings (8a,9a) for the linkage mechanisms (3,4). A carrier element (10,11) in connection with the guides is via transmission elements (12-16) in the housing 87,28; 54) connected with a common driving unit (17).
