Abstract:
Closing arrangement for sliding doors adapted to move between closed and open positions along a lengthwise guide track. The arrangement includes a rotor operatively connected with connecting links connected to the door and arranged to move along the guide track. Brake arrangement is mounted with a drive member mounted in coaxial alignment with the rotor shaft. The closing arrangement is provided with a coupling device which is operatively connected to the rotor shaft and comprises an electromagnetic coupling and a friction coupling mounted on a common shaft. The coupling device prevents an inadvertant backward movement of the open sliding door to its closed position.
Abstract:
An electrically powered drive system for automatically opening and/or closing the door of a motor vehicle. An electric drive assembly including a motor and an irreversible gear box is coupled to the hinge of the door by means of a normally-disengaged clutch. Control means are provided for selectively energizing the motor and clutch. In a preferred embodiment a solenoid is coupled to the system for unlatching the door preparatory to energization of the drive motor.
Abstract:
In a jail cell locking system, a cell door may be locked in its open position and in its closed position by latch members which are secured by locking members, the latch members being pivoted about vertical axes and the locking members being pivoted about longitudinal, horizontal axes. The locking members are released from the locking position by means of a rotary solenoid, the operation of which is conditioned by initiation of a door opening or a door closing operation. A gang bar is provided for deadlocking the locking members of a series of doors, and for releasing each of the doors in the case of an emergency.
Abstract:
Apparatus for remotely engaging and disengaging a cell door from operating mechanism therefor and for locking the door in closed or open position. Specifically, the apparatus comprises a remotely controlled electro magnetic selector associated with the door effective when energized to ready the door for movement by the drive mechanism. The improvement may be associated with manual selector devices without affecting the construction or operability of the latter.

1,027,600. Screw - and - nut actuators. H. KORTHAUS, and R. WILKE. Feb. 13, 1963 [Feb. 14, 1962], No. 5915/63. Heading B8J. [Also in Divisions F2 and H2] In an electric motor-driven linear displacing device comprising an internally threaded tubular shaft section 8 fast with the motor rotor 4 and a coacting elongated threaded operating rod 12 extending through the shaft section and secured against rotation but axially displaceable on rotation of the shaft section, and an electromagnetically operable brake for the rotor actuated when the rod reaches a limiting position, either a load or at least one spring 32, 33 returns the rod to its initial position upon failure of the motor and brake current. The rod 12 is secured against rotation by either a polygonal, e.g. square, part engaging a corresponding guide in a casing extension 15 or a longitudinal recess engaged by a key in a casing part 14, and coacts with the shaft section by means of a train of recirculating ball bearings 11. The brake includes friction linings 28 loaded to disengagement by springs 27 but engaged by attraction of a disc 25 by an iron ring 18 when a magnetizing winding 17 is energized via a rectifier by normally closed contacts of a motor relay which is de-energized by a limit switch 30 or 31 actuated by a cam 29 on a rod collar 34 when the rod reaches either of its end positions. In low power motors the switches may directly control the motor, and the rod may actuate the sliding contact of a potentiometer to give a remote indication and possibly automatic regulation of the rod position. The device is applicable to doors, flaps and weights.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an actuator for the rotary drive of a vehicle flap. The actuator includes an electric motor, which has a output shaft with a center axis, an output unit, which is in force-transmitting connection with the electric motor in such a manner that activation of the electric motor causes a rotational displacement of the output unit about an axis of rotation of the output unit, and a mounting unit which is configured to support the actuator in force-transmitting connection with a superordinate assembly relative to the drive unit such that, upon activation of the electric motor, a displacement of the drive unit relative to the mounting unit takes place. Also disclosed is a storage apparatus for a vehicle door and a motor vehicle.
Abstract:
A brake device for a drivable part, in particular for use for a vehicle flap, in particular in an automobile, includes a drivable load device (11) which can be radially brought into contact with a disc (90) of the drivable part, with a first holding position and a second release position. At least one brake element rests against the periphery (92) of the disc (90) in a frictional manner in the holding position and secures the disc (90) from rotating using a specifiable force. In the release position, the at least one brake element is arranged at a distance from the periphery of the disc (90) and allows a free run of the disc (90), and the load device (11) can be adjusted between the holding position and the release position, preferably by a motor (12). A brake device or a rotating drive with which a drivable part of the drive is secured against a displacement on the basis of the mass of the component to be displaced even when the motor is not being provided with power or is deactivated is achieved in that the first holding position and the second release position are each designed as a metastable holding position.
Abstract:
A control and drive assembly for a transport vehicle door, and which includes a main control unit; a main motor to drive the door leaves and which is controlled by the main control unit to displace the leaves; an auxiliary control module; an auxiliary motor operable to: control the auxiliary motor so as to displace the leaves in at least one direction to a closed position, control a locking of the leaves in the closed position; and a connection device arranged between the main control unit and the auxiliary motor to facilitate transmission of a reference signal by the main control unit to the auxiliary control module, the reference signal being representative of a proper operating state of the main motor and the main control unit. The auxiliary control module is operable to actuate the auxiliary motor when the auxiliary control module does not receive the reference signal.
Abstract:
A vehicle door checker integrated with a power drive unit for an automobile door includes a direct current permanent magnet electric motor subject to cogging torque. The electric motor includes a central shaft. The vehicle door checker also includes a cogging torque increase device that is mounted to the central shaft externally of the motor. The cogging torque increase device includes pairs of oppositely magnetized permanent magnets that are mounted coaxially in a stator and rotor respectively about the motor shaft. The stator magnets and the rotor magnets shift into and out of alignment with each other as the shaft is rotated such that the motor is held in multiple discrete stable positions that correspond to check positions of an automobile door.
